Yes, I had an awful experience with the stealth also, though it had nothing to do with linux support (managed to get everything working). Multiple hardware failures and eventually had to return it. They should probably learn basic quality

If there is an analogue in the standard library you should have a compelling reason to use an alternative. Wish this could be filed under "common" sense. Thanks for articulating and presenting this principle, among others. Great w

It rains all year in Portland-- and it's cold. Artisanal is just another word for amateur. Wages are low. This is bad advice -- do not move here.

It's not about 15-20% for the N workers sponsored. It drives down wages across the industry by increasing unemployed labor supply. It's a lever to put downward pressure on wages in a macroeconomic sense.

Some seem to believe that software developers are so focused on programming that they were never exposed to basic macroeconomics. If supply goes up, price goes down. It may be better for employers, and the economy as a whole depending on ho

Still think it would be an okay patentability requirment to include source code. Yes, it is just one embodiment, but let's see the embodiment.

If there is a different way of implementing it than described in the patent, did the patent owner really invent the other method?

ChuckM, I appreciate your polite tone and sincerity. To illustrate my point, consider my story. I'm a software developer with entrepreneurial ambition and I'm developing a product I have dreams of marketing and selling. Last wee

This is a nice story, but not an accurate reflection of reality. Look at the statistics on who are issued patents, who receives royalties. It's not the noble independent inventor, it's old MegaCorp that doesn't blink at und

You can get predicted columns via https://github.com/no0p/alps ... Turns out that adding words like infer to the lex is kind of a big project in pgsql. Excellent work with the language aspect of it in BayesDB -- well

Too bad they didnt switch to windowlab. Now that is a lightweight window manager. Amiga style window management!

if data storage and data analysis were wholly independent activities, the logical separation would make a lot of sense, e.g. dumb database is good at data storage, utilities are good at specific analytic functions. Due to resource bottlenec

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I originally created this page as an exercise in "marketing driven development" aka just testing the waters to see if there is a market for this sort of thing. I did consider your last point of

I once considered taking a serious crack at a subset of this problem. Didn't get any takers though. http://libpatent.com/

Surprised this guy didn't write an article on how to sell his position to developers. In spite of claiming to understand the current labor market for development talent, it appears he's still got it backwards.

It's funny because there is a good philosophical debate out there on whether the written or spoken word is better. Socrates felt that the spoken word was better, since it was less removed from the truth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaedr

I also built something similar recently http://fit.io Amazing how an idea can be implemented by a bunch of different folks all at the same time.

The article makes a great point, it's not necessary to be technical to be successful in technology management. Also you should be proud of your strengths and the contributions they enable you to make rather than focus on power psychology.

statistics is hard. There is a good field description list out there... also it might be interesting to look at the status of applications. For example are there any applications where the wage rate was below the prevailing wage and were a

looks like there was a minor error there. The prevailing wage is not the wage offered to the H1B visa recipient, so it's not necessarily how much is being spent. That field is a required field for filing the application and is itself a st
