Get another job, with smart people equally smart or smarter then you. Work for a company that makes a product you can relate to. And work at a place the works as a team and follow the work hard and play hard way of thinking. The best place would be an agile environment where there is pair programming, stand ups and a real we do it together feel is , a place where you can learn from your co-workers and they can learn from you. The thing is is that you are not challenged so move to a place that challenge you. You are doing stuff that is to easy for you so you get bored.
Looks nice and it helpful, thanks.
Maybe you could change the output so the latest output is on top instead on the bottom (more blog style). Also it would be nice to reset the output altogether
Maybe it is not necessary but I don't see anything against it. That was the weird thing about that article all kinds of semi legit reasons why it is not necessary to use them but no reason why not to use them. I would say if there are some semi legit reasons to use them and no reason not to use them than just use them :)
I think this could be big especially in the mobile space. I can imagine that smaller ARM manufactures/designers will use this over PowerVR or there own graphics implantation. In desktop space I don't see any one willing to do that, maybe IBM for a super computer. But while this is exiting I think it also shows that they don't see a very bright future for them self. I guess with there less then hard selling ARM proc and the increasingly better graphics chips from intel the need for nvdia as a h/w manufacture is declining fast
"You'll be able to link other Xbox Live accounts as having shared access to your library when you first set up a system and will also be able to add them later on (though specific details of how you manage these relationships is still not being discussed). The only limitation, it seems, is that only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time. All in all, this does sound like a pretty convenient feature that's more workable than simply passing discs around amongst friends who are actually in your area."
That is nice. Just wondering how it works, hope you can lend a game to someone. Not that if your library is shared any one of you 'family members ' can play just any game form your library at any time, would totally suck since only one can play the game at the time.
>The link I referenced before also mentions that on your Xbox, any user can play any game:
>Your friends and family, your guests and acquaintances get unlimited access to all of your games. Anyone can play your games on your console--regardless of whether you are logged in or their relationship to you.
That would be really something if that wasn't possible :).
But a big difference with the traditional media is that I can borrow a game from a friend and play it on MY console at my home.
Would be really cool situation dough. A family member in your household would like to play a game you bought and by ways of kinect it would disallow it because he/she wasn't the one who bought it :)
Another thing is that at the moment XBOX Live network is dog slow I once had to D/L a game for 24 hours and I have a 60MBit connection... Also most new games are more expensive on the Live network than in a shop. So for me that was a one time thing. I did like the episode experiment with Fable would love to buy games that way.
I really like SpiderOak I have been using them for more than two years. Resent update added a true dropbox experience. And most importantly it has a client for Linux, OSX, windows, ios and Android.
My own experience is that I would skip it but not because it is an possible ad. Especially if I'm looking for a product I will look at the ads, sometimes the ads are better than the actual result.
But there is a problem with the SERP, and that is that the result under the ads (if any) is sometimes a related sub search.
So if i'm looking for some thing scientificy it will show me some sub search of Google scientific results. Or if I'm searching form some thing that has been in the news recently it will show me some Google news results. Now unless I'm looking for papers or news I will skip over it. Since it shows your face next to the link it looks like an news sub search result or indeed a blog result.
I played with the beta and I have to say that it is way more polished than 12.04/12.10. I have played for many years with Linux (since early 1990s) but it was always to much of a hazel to use it as my main os. But since 12.04 I fully switched from OSX to Ubuntu the only thing I kind of missed was the polish of osx. 13.04 makes lots of things nicer and more fluid. I actually like Ubuntu better than osx. One thing left to do is to get some descent icons and getting rid of the default orange :)
very nice UI, I really like the idea of marking an area and than choose what type it is. seems to be great for a tablet UI as well. For an opensource off-line tool may I suggest pencil project. I'm currently using it for my work.
In his defense he was 14 years old at the time he wrote a book that was 66% his original content, I don't think many 14 year old will think about plagiarizing when writing a book. The publisher is responsible for publishing a badly written partly plagiarized book. I presume the publisher didn't care and just saw dollar signs in marketing a 14 year old 'prodigy'. Now 9 years later, he either believes that he is a great hacker because people have being telling him this for the last 9 years or he is to afraid to tell he isn't. In the end of the day the publisher and other s around him are responsible for his image. I feel bad for him when he is unmask by the big media as a fraud. Because when that happens he will be 23 or so years old and a world known fraudster. In my view this is not his fault has he was to young at the time to understand what was going on and what impact it would have on his life, the soul responsibility is with the publisher and his parents.
I would really like if they would look at your OS languages and use that. If I am in France (or any other non English speaking country) and I use my English languages device please show me the English site. Also the "you are on a mobile site therefore I show you my crappy mobile site, without the possibility to go do the desktop site" is really annoying especially on a tablet. While most browsers can be set on show desktop site allot of sites just look at the OS. Only browser that works is Opera.
TL;DR stop thinking you know better than your users what languages/site format they want.
I always liked the idea of adding meta data to your up vote (funny, insightful etc) just choose from a list, and people can filter out category's they have no interest in. together with a system where you have to earn voting rights (to become a 'citizen' of a site), for instance: you have to be a member for at least a year and you start with a veined number of up/down votes.
The most striking thing is that before the iPad 2 was released Samsung was planing to release the tab 10.1. When the new design was revealed of the iPad 2, they did a redesign of the tab 10.1. The old version was already produced and sold as the 10.1v. The new 10.1 design is strikingly similar to the iPad2.
that being said apart from the package printing the rest of the package design is not apples design or idea, I think the benefon Q had a similar set up, (first thing you see it the phone).
I hope MS will up there release schedule just like Apple and Ubuntu. When OSX first landed most people didn't like it at all. But every year it was a bit better and at least since 10.4 one of the best if not the best desktop OS. Same thing go's for Ubuntu, the first incarnation of Unity was not good . But 12.04 is a really usable OS and for me (since I don't use OSX specific software) perfectly fine replacement for OSX. I'm really excited to see where they are going with it. So if MS is serious about there new desktop they should release a new version at least once a year. Perhaps they will need a LTS strategy for the Enterprise starting with windows 7. So by the time windows 8.4 comes a long Metro is matured and most workers will know how to use is.
Wouldn't it be possible that it is 90-100 Taiwan dollar instead of US dollar. than the license cost is 3.4 US dollar. It seems to me that it would be suicide of MS to command such a high price for its tablet OS. It would make the tablet as expensive as its desktop OS. Not a great strategy to conquer the "iPad market". A pricing akin to windows mobile would seem to be more logical.
Again funny how people read different things from the same text :-) . That's not what I was trying to say. On the contrary to master a craft you will need to learn several different skills and a craft is something thing that you can learn, but more importantly must learn and study to master. I'm not saying this should be out of reach for most people as is any craft, if you want to learn something you should be able to and I applaud any afford to make it more affordable and easier . but contrary to reading and arithmetic etc it is not something you must learn to be a productive member to society. This is true not only for coding but for any craft, be it plumbing, sewing carpentry, Medical professions etc.
It is funny to see how different people interpreted the original post.
For me it was about coding being a craft and not a necessary skill like arithmetics, reading or a secondary languages.
(This is true not only for coding but for nearly every craft there is.)
So I think it was more a post against the "Every one should learn to code, for a better world" movement (if there is such a thing) than a keep on doing what you do and stay away from my craft post.
While I thing bloomberg should be able to do what ever he wants in his free time. I agree with the assessment that it will be highly unlikely that leaning to code will make a difference in his daily work.
So while this reaction was a entertaining read I think it was reacting to something that wasn't be said.
Yahoo is using Bing so it is not strange that is has zero indexed pages.
Also Duckduck go is using Bing and some others like wolfram alpha.
The only reason I still use Google it that they are still miles ahead of the competition. I have switched for a while to Bing, DuckDuckGo and others but always wend back to Google.
I do value my privacy, for instance, I switched from gmail to fastmail even if fastmail has less functionality. But for search there is not a real alternative for me.
The hours worked figure is misleading. in The Netherlands, Germany etc workforce participation rate of women are much higher. But because women tent to work mostly part-time, especially if they have kids, average the number is really low. Also a lot of young family's split this time as both parent's work part time to spend time with the kids. A normal work week is about 40 hours so if you take out 6 weeks for vacation days, sick days etc your left with 1840 hours. I think a more interesting number would be average work time per household I suspect that the list would look differently.
Github should implement a tempting system for commit messages that way every project can enforce there own standars. And those templates should be shareable, like a template repository so new and existing projects can opt to use one of the exciting ones.
