Being high-paid "pure" developer is possible but not recommended.
Developers from the top management perspective are seen as expense/liability, not an asset (surprise!).

That means that as soon as things go south for company, business or industry - you'll be the first to let go with heartwarming "You're great, but sorry - we cannot afford you any more".

You'll need to establish your uniqueness, expertise and visibility within industry and within the company (and in this order) to have solid foundation behind high income.

Otherwise luck of getting high salary offer may run out soon.

Also - try to stay above the head of your immediate managers and be in direct connection and communication with decision makers and present yourself as unique problem solver and solution builder to them.

Quite often developers are too narrow focused on technologies and neither seeing nor participating in bigger visions.
As a customer of both GoDaddy and Namecheap, I have to say that GoDaddy offers a much better, more full-featured DNS control panel. Frankly, I can't see staying with Namecheap.

I really don't get the hate for GoDaddy. SourceForge, OTOH, are reprehensible.

The research data I've seen suggests that a standard deviation from the mean BMR is about 7.5%. That means that people with the slowest metabolisms burn only about 73% of what people with the fastest metabolisms burn at rest.

Additionally, the metabolic response to overfeeding varies greatly between individuals; some people respond to excess calories with a significant rise in body temperature and heightened energy, while others show no change in body temperature and actually get tired after eating.

I'm not saying that "slow metabolism" is a legitimate reason someone can't get fit. Only that it isn't fair to assume everyone is the same; some people DO have a much harder time losing fat and staying lean.

> Source? Particularly with respect to "weaponized". The worst I saw was North Korea alledgedly being responsible for pirating a crappy movie, and a 10 minute shutdown of github a few months ago.

Arguably it has been "weaponized" by the NSA and their allies. See, stuxnet and related threats. There is good reason to believe other nation state actors also have "weaponized" threats. For instance the recent "man-on-the-side" DDOS attack via the great firewall on github. There is also a healthy business for buying and selling vulnerabilities and exploits and the .gov organizations are known buyers.

So yes, I think it is fair to say that "hacking has left teenage basements". That part of the statement the gp's statement it obviously true when you look at say sophisticated carder rings.
I don't understand the point of the analysis. A slightly higher percentage of things might be posted at 8:00 on Wednesday. That doesn't mean it's the best time to post. In fact it might be the worst time to post because you are competing with all those other people.

Parallels works very well on the Mac, and while you won't be able to do much that requires graphics acceleration in Windows, it otherwise works extremely great (in particular on Macs with SSDs, but ok on HDDs too).

That being said, Bootcamp (dual booting) does not work well. It "works" in the sense that Windows will load and you can do tasks, but the drivers are poorly optimised, often broken, and Apple doesn't prioritise fixing them (and provides near zero support either in-store or over the phone for Bootcamp).

So if you wish to do this, then just come to terms with the fact that OS X will be your MAIN operating system and Windows will be a virtual machine you work in. The whole experience will just be more pleasant that way, as the Parallels team do support their product and DO fix the drivers that interact with their virtual hardware.

If you plan on buying this and MUST duel boot into Windows, then the entire plan is just a bad idea. Buy a Thinkpad instead (or Surface Pro, etc).
Looks like Google discovered that they can keep tracking this way users on remaining websites that don't use google analytics. And this time if you start blocking these requests the web page will look bad.
>a Hobson's choice, perhaps.

I agree that it's the current state. But, I don't believe that it must be this way by some natural law. Maybe that's where we depart.

>so invested in this ideal

I'm invested in the notion that somewhere between where we are now and the ideal state is possible, and that we'd be far better off reaching for it. What alternative are you proposing?

>retroactively shoehorn acts against or apathetic to it in the same framework

I don't know what you're trying to say here. If you're merely pointing out that there are people and even systems that work against the democratic ideal and that apathy among the populace does the same, then there's no revelation there. You're simply stating an endemic problem of which most semi-conscious people are aware. But, what's your conclusion?

>* the conception of democracy you're operating under is simplistic and incorrect*

It's more likely that your conception of my conception is simplistic and incorrect.
If the equipment is generating revenue then it's a business. If it isn't then its a hobby. Calling it a "half hobby half investment" is just BS for the sake of a rationalization for buying something shiny. There's nothing wrong with buying something shiny, but it's better if it is acknowledged as buying something shiny rather than pretending its an investment. All that's needed for iOS/OSX development is a used Mac Mini.

They don't. The kernel is not the federal government, which is but one group of (albeit somewhat privileged) processes. The kernel is economic control, which is why I pointed out that most of your daily life is shaped by non-government processes.

IANAL but have you tried looking into consulting firms? A friend of mine was in a similar situation and he essentially hired a consulting firm that sponsored his H1 transfer to the firm and then essentially put him on contract with his startup. He had to pay the consulting firm some fees for the service. I don't know if this is on shaky legal grounds.

Does anybody know of some good, comprehensive book (free or paid) with guide to all the algorithms available in OpenCV and how to use them, approachable for a "common programmer"?

I am not an expert in this field (nutritional epi + cardiovascular disease).

Luckily, my significant other is (which is there the quote came from).

Her answer:
"The first article shows no association of saturated fats with cardiovascular disease. No association does not mean healthy."
and
"Substituting polyunsaturated fats for saturated fats has been shown to lower ldl and is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease. This comes from both robust randomized controlled trial evidence, and data from prospective cohort studies"

I think the whole idea is that people agree that unsaturated fats do have health benefits. There is no clear evidence that saturated fats do. They might not actively cause harm, but they also don't have comparable benefits to health.

Better tip than "just walking" is find a trainer or training group that prepares people for fitness walking (lots of times, local fitness shops will do this for 5K walk/runs, and will have a subgroup focused on walkers.) As with most exercise, proper technique makes a big difference, and even if the human body is built to walk, lots of people (not all, for sure, but a significant fraction of those that would be starting to ramp up from an inactive lifestyle) have developed bad habits and doing it more but still badly won't magically fix them, it will just reinforce them and compound the pain they produce.

My parents did the thing where they put keyed deadbolts on all of the doors. So when someone wanted to break in they broke the glass on the door, discovered the deadbolt, broke the glass on another door and discovered the deadbolt, then broke the glass on a third door before yet again being foiled by the deadbolt. Then they broke a window and stole our stuff anyway. Apparently they were professional thieves too, since they were hitting half a dozen houses each day while driving through the state. The cops finally caught them when they were pulled over for driving on expired tags or something stupid. They had robbed over 100 homes in two weeks before they were caught.

The only thing the deadbolts did was to make us replace three extra windows.
And in a class about neurology or developmental psychology, putting it to a question, "are boys smarter than girls?" and then using that to explore different kinds of intelligence, is a very different thing from a professor in an unrelated field declaring, "It's my opinion that girls are less intelligent than boys, blah blah, office hours at 3pm on Wednesdays, etc.."

One is ok, the other suggests a bias that's going to cut half the class off at the knees.
It still protects against spammers that cannot deploy such AI. Which is probably very close to all of them.
Exactly like computer security, it's not about making it impossible to gain entrance[1], it's about making it both inconvenient enough and require enough skill that it takes longer or is more noticeable, making it more likely the intruder will be noticed, thus raising the likelihood they will be caught.

That said, a few seconds is a pretty low bar. Commodity locks should be better than this, for all our sakes.

The Mini is a nice inexpensive way to get into the Mac world.

I would like to add a small word of caution: The current generation Minis are not upgradable. Previously you could pop them open and turn a 4 GB RAM Mini into a 16 GB Mini for under $70, now the RAM is soldered onto the motherboard so the configuration you buy is the configuration you're stuck with.

PS - This was done without physically shrinking the size of the Mini, so one can only assume Apple did this for profit reasons (either manufacturing savings OR forcing people to buy their overpriced upgrades during purchase).

Although there are many different tools out there, sometimes I just want to fire something up and start working on it. Speed, as in how quickly you can start working on something without having to tinker around with different tools and components is a huge plus.

Amazon is. So is Google. Both have strong founders, and were very explicit in their IPOs about this. Even still, both need a certain level of profitability to sustain themselves. In addition, many companies that spend too much time in the future get complacent about the present. (Look at all the research at Xerox PARC that got commercialized elsewhere)

There are many other companies that either lack that credibility, or have a history of wasting money. (>50% of M&A deals subtract rather than add value to the buyer)
Time-Lapse Video Captures the Development of Baby Honeybees
You have to understand that anything in this world is seen by me as a dream. God is all there ever has been and will be and created the Sonship (us). Our "fall from heaven" was when we wanted to be God ourselves and thus break free from his rule. In order to do so, it meant opposing everything that is true in His domain -- oneness replaced with disparity, life with death, eternity with time. This is the hell the Bible speaks of. You "burn" in desire by "selling your soul" (believing and pursuing..) for things the "Devil" (your ego) offers yet none of it ever seems to satisfy. Why is that? Why is hatred more commonplace than love?

You cannot destroy heaven and so you dream of these things. We're all helpless victims and if there is a God, he is a cruel master. This isn't the way and creates a lot of sadness and unnecessary conflict in the world.

Which makes sense when you consider the 20% "sales tax" (VAT) and the fact that it is included in the price, and not just at the checkout like in the US.

They heat a tropical greenhouse and sturgeon farm with water from another tunnel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropenhaus_Frutigen

They weren't able to dump the water directly into the local river because it would disrupt the native trout, and so they cool it with the greenhouse and farm.

If you "kip up" (jump assist or chair assist) and do a reverse (slowly lower yourself down) it's easier to do and you can build your way up to doing a full pull up.

Why would those things be genetic? If there were a "serial killer gene" or a "cheater gene", those traits should manifest themselves in all kinds of obvious differences in behavior - which we do not see.

I think the right answer here is to develop languages or libraries that enforce the constraints you want.

I think we should beware of adding layers of "silver bullet" technologies that promise to fix the last crisis, but increase the friction of development.

To illustrate what I mean, PLCs are normally programmed in ladder logic. From that level, I don't think you can crash the machine or corrupt memory. So the risks are limited to the "operating system" if you will, which can be more mature and tested than the "application".
