We're hiring at Social Gold for a number of positions including developers (Ruby, Flash, Test) and more. Some in SF on Embarcadero, some in Seattle in Pioneer Square. We're mostly looking for experienced developers, and the stereotypical HN

This criticism applies to Facebook as much as it does to Apple. Facebook apps, though usually built with more web technologies, still live in a walled garden and require permission to operate. "We're at a critical juncture in the evolution

Sure, it's just another tool, but OOP is not Java. The original post said "objects are a bad way of modeling the universe."

When writing a program, you usually don't model the Platonic ideals that make up the universe, with perfect encapsulation. You model aspects of the world relevant to the problem you're solving. You give them shorthand names that make sense

The article describes these agents as "negotiation ninjas" based on "a series of simple rules - known as heuristics." That's far from artificial intelligence. Nothing in the article suggests that the agents do any kind of learning. The prob

"Nothing matters" is a recipe for despair, not happiness :) Sure, money and glory are shallow motivations. Dig deeper, though, and you'll find that people aren't as shallow as they seem - money can be a means to gain freedom, glory a confir

This outburst sounds universal and profound, but really has a narrow target audience. It's good for preaching to the choir, but it can only persuade minds that are already on the brink of change. What's more, the realization that the world

Some people just learn better from hearing, so the lectures are better for them, even if they seem redundant. But reading the book aloud isn't enough. Effective lectures sound different from books: shorter, simpler, more repetitive. Really,
