I heartily disagree, and think that tools vs. "actual problems" is a false dichotomy. Software design/engineering is very much its own discipline. A good API/framework/whatever can lower defect rates and generally make your software more coherent and maintainable. That saves time, money, and headaches. We should absolutely care about the tools we use, because nobody else is going to, hence "programming on programming." Attributing that to a quest for "celebrity" is cynical, and I don't see how you can blame programmers for seeking a good professional reputation by creating tools for their peers.
Or at least reasonable & predictable liquidity, yes.
"The Krita Web site is seeing very high traffic at the moment" might be better for a multi-lingual audience.

Glad to see free/open source software getting some exposure. My College makes GIMP, Inkscape, Audacity and LibreOffice available on its Windows desktops alongside commercial alternatives. Students get used to both.
i can appreciate an HTML5 visualizer. One of my favorites though is at http://www.georgeandjonathan.com/
I definitely wouldn't call it a sense of entitlement. What you say though is disturbing and unfortunate and I wish I had a good answer. Imagine you buy a plane ticket and fly to somewhere exotic. Passenger in seat 11a is thinking "flying is horrible. It is a huge polluter. You're all crammed in like sardines. The airline is owned by wealthy fat cats and I had to pay $1500 for the 'honor' of being stuck with horrible food, crying babies and long lines at the toilets" passenger 11b has a constant smile on his face "I can't believe that one weeks salary + 12 hours of flying is all it takes to be in a completely different part of the world starting an adventure with unknown possibilities and tremendous learning to be had"

The thing is I guess they're both right! But now you know why you dont need to worry about why your coworker is grinning in the seat next to you. He/she is viewing the same circumstance very differently. Maybe over time your view can change to (mainly because you seem so unhappy with how it currently is)
Will you continue this story?
I'd place a good bet it's not endemic of capitalist economic systems. Put another way, government and business (private or state or otherwise) necessarily operate with one another (co-operate). So implying that it's a trait solely of capitalism is not genuine.
Fun fact: under Obama the rate of "national security letters" has only increased as well as the number of whistleblowers prosecuted.

Not saying he personally directed the FBI to increase, just saying it has and nothing has stopped it.

But he has personally sought to expand NSL powers.

Depends on the game. Minecraft is hardly twitchy, especially if you're building, not fighting; the client proceeds as if each action has already happened, so you don't have to wait for the roundtrip between actions.
It does communicate something. If you weren't under a gag order, you'd likely answer "no", not "I won't answer that".

A more appropriate comparison is their 'Notable App' - http://www.notableapp.com/plans

They seem to be pretty awesome by the way. Zurb that is. They look like an agency that 'gets it'.
Article writer here - thanks for the comments. I think the key for VR is that it will be awesome for specific domains (e.g. game development) but won't show much benefit to general programming.

Once VR has become more commonplace then I see it integrating more and more into programming as it becomes useful in other scenarios.
It's 2014 (almost 2015), you don't need to give your personal number. Google Voice is free and seems to work but can't confirm since the last text posted was at 12:28 pm. Bonus, one can use their PC with a real display and keyboard if use their GV number.

It's absolutely horrifying. There's no way this is secure.
Can't you just order the owner of the namecoin entry to transfer it? You can't seize it, but you can seize the -owner-, if you can find them.

If I have control of "microsoft.bit" I assume Microsoft would be within their rights to sue me for trademark infringement. This is better than the FBI's (apparently legal?) ability to seize .com domains en masse, but still.
At that point would be like paying for insurance. I mean, don't they take into account that leaving their systems unsecure can be very bad for the company?
Except that the terminal is thousands and thousands times more powerful than the machine you connected to with the terminal back in the days.

Not to digress too much, but it’s worth pointing out that it is you who is paying for both parts, even if only half of it gets listed on your salary slip.
I want to have a garage where I can build projects and do stuff that is not looking at a computer.

I just, don't want to have an office in my home. If I need an office for work then someone else can pay for it. I have no desire to own a computer with Linux, but I need one for my work. Guess who paid for it? Not me. And sure yes - I do life admin on my computer on the kitchen table when things are quiet - but I don't spend 40 hours a week doing that.
Nice! I was about to work on this for Walgreens, have you looked at that yet?
>>In a services business, when you give someone $$, you are paying for a person's time.

But if we're talking about what was said in the article, and what others have said in this thread, if you're doing a service company, eventually you want to get the point where your service is automated. In this case, a user is not paying for your time as much as they are paying for the tool you built to encapsulate your service.

I see Amazon as more of a service, then. Everything they currently offer (having your own store, payments processing, order fulfillment, etc.) they are able to offer because they can give to their customers via the web what normally a brick and mortar bookstore would have to do manually, and now their only constraint is scaling.
Even symbolic gestures by enough people can facilitate change.
> When you have the superiority the US sports, it's not hard to win a war.

The "War on Terror" started in 2001 and is an ongoing clusterfuck. As the "War on Terror" hasn't concluded, the last war that the US won was Kosovo in 1999.

I think Adventured overestimates US' superiority.
> (Can you imagine US citizens today being forced to fight overseas?)

Erm, yes? They're also called 'soldiers', they volunteer to go into the army and kill people for money.
> legislative efforts underway in Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, and Virginia to prevent Tesla from dealing directly with customers and instead conform to antiquated franchise laws requiring them to only sell cars via independently owned car dealerships

I really don't understand this. This is like saying... I make a product and I can't sell the product that I've made myself. Someone else is required to sell it for me. This law seems unfair and ridiculous. Is there a reasoning/history behind this and how it came to be?
Valuable? Giving a proper blowjob. You can learn it in an hour and make insane amounts of money doing just that.
Like others said, play with the dosage. First time I tried it, I had 2.5mg (or maybe 3mg I forget) tablets. I had a somewhat similar experience, I'd get drowsy, but when in bed I'd feel cold and couldn't sleep very well at all.

The next year I got 0.1mg tablets, experimented a bit and found that 8 of those (0.8mg) was the sweet spot for me (taken about 2 hours before I want to sleep). I generally used it in the winter, when it gets dark at 16:00, which apparently can throw my cycle a little out of whack if I don't pay attention, the melatonin seemed to help to fix this a bit.

I have to say, I've never noticed really strong effects like "puts me out quickly". Just a general feeling after an hour or two, that "yeah I could sleep". If I listen to that feeling, I sleep very well. If I stay up anyway, it goes away again, and I don't really get the benefits.

One thing I noticed, after a few weeks, was when I knocked over and broke a glass of water for the third time. I wondered, "hey that seems to happen quite a lot lately..". And always in the evening after I had taken the melatonin, so I guess it does do something to my coordination or perhaps alertness. This was easily solved by taking a bit more care where I place my drinking glass after taking melatonin :)
For me, the best interview was online. I felt much more confident and relaxed, answered all questions clearly, showed all my best qualities. I also prepared well for the interview using these tips: https://ivypanda.com/essays/preparation-for-interviews/, read about the company in advance, what skills are required for the vacancy and everything went perfectly.
One might also wonder about causality versus correlation. Do executives cite "teamwork" today because they even know what it is, or because the buzzword has been drilled into us every day for the past 30 years?
That is pretty sweet. My favorite 'weird' garage door idea though is the one that goes down into the ground. Basically a vertical slab with a very long scissor drive to lift up the door. The down side being maintenance of course, need to clean out all the crap that accumulates 12' below the ground.
I think you are replying to the wrong comment here, I did not make the argument that bandwidth was a major consideration, my point is that it isn't.

Latency != bandwidth.

Installing ghostery will do more for your page load times than http2 will.
Forgetting for a moment that the entire post is an appeal to authority (in other words, ignoring all logic) here's the culprit quote from the post:

> In the Wikipedia article, they have an equation that looks like this \zeta(-3)=1/120, but the stuff on the left hand side is just another way of writing 1^3+2^3+3^3 +4^3+...

If you can't explain why the above claim is screwy, then every time you claim, "the sum of all positive integers is -1/12," you need to qualify it with "I have no idea why, but I know there's some complicated mathematics that removes the word 'sum' and 'positive integers' and replaces them with more complicated concepts I'm don't have the time to learn about, and we physicists abuse it to say what I just said."
The springs of most conventional garage doors are a hazard to life (if you have a two-story bldg) and property. When the garage door is down, those suckers are cocked like a pistol with the weight of said door. And when one or more fails spontaneously, they will follow Newton's third law and shoot upwards into whatever or whomever happens to be there, with metal shrapnel going in either direction. I've had to repair a garage ceiling and replace all of those springs (once one spring goes, all of them should be changed.)
I'm a little bias, but one of my favorite conference is the Erlang Factory SF! The conference is still small enough that there's no bullshit and you get to meet most of the active community! A must if you work with Erlang :)
Chaim Gingold has a great essay that expands on related ideas, at http://www.levitylab.com/blog/2011/01/catastrophic-prototypi...

In particular, the following remarks from Gingold's essay complement the OP well: "My hard drive was full of failures. Twelve years after learning to program, I looked back on all my software: none of it was finished, and what was, wasn’t ambitious enough. The projects that started out ambitiously always seemed to fall back to earth, like failed rockets lacking the power to propel their own weight into orbit. Sure, there were interesting ideas in there, lots of wacky toys, and I had even attempted a few large projects, but none of them ever came together like the cool games and software I had always admired.

Sure, I had become a pretty good programmer, and learned to make cool stuff, but clearly none of it would ever amount to anything. I just didn’t have what it took.

I went to graduate school at Georgia Tech, and read some Chris Crawford. I learned that he had the same problem. But he didn’t think of it as failure. For him, this was an organic part of the development process. The failures filling his hard drive were actually “prototypes” that helped him decide which ideas were worth pursuing. For each good idea, there were a large number of stupid ones that didn’t work out. Failing, for this successful designer, was a way to find the good ideas. The revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. Maybe I had a chance after all... Master artists like Escher or Van Gogh don’t just sit down and crank out a finished piece. Artists create numerous sketches and studies before they undertake finished paintings, let alone masterpieces... All of my software failures, which I was now thinking about as prototypes, sketches, and studies, had taught me a thing or two about design and programming. If you want to learn to draw, you have to make a ton of bad drawings first. The difference between practice and failure is simply a matter of attitude."

These ideas are, of course, not new, but Gingold has thought about them deeply and distilled them sharply. The essay as a whole goes much further than the above excerpt, and is well worth reading.

What amazes me is how much credit Henry Ford got for things he didn't do:

Henry didn't design the Model T or the Ford logo it was C. Harold Wills his first employee

Henry didn't come up with the concept of the $5 a day wage it was his lieutenant James Couzens who later became a US senator from Michigan.

Yet history books generally give him all the credit. The book Henry's lieutenants details the accomplishments of these executives.

I don't think the pharmacy knows your diagnosis when you fill a prescription. It isn't written on the prescription. You can in fact run into problems with the insurance company if the treatment is extremely expensive.
Chilling effect has been achieved, all according to plan.

To reiterate, the design of surveillance is population control,no more or less; terrorism is merely an excuse for technological implementation that was desired since time immemorial by the powers that be.

Now, onto the implications that the NY Times was too friendly to state:

1. People are self-censoring dissenting views in regular conversation outside of people they trust

2. People are self-censoring dissenting views in written communication

3. People are self-censoring their own minds as a result of #1 and #2

Therefore,

4. Dissenting communications and dissenting thoughts are reduced in frequency, leading to a snowball effect as ideas are more and more suppressed

In terms of the scope, while the poll was only of writers, it seems as though the majority of writers consider themselves to be victims here.

I think it's safe to say that the implications I listed are also applicable to other segments of the population-- most importantly, the segments of the population that are the usual hotbeds of dissent, because they are more likely to be paying attention to advances in government power which would create a chilling effect.

The chilling effect produced by the endless rounds of disclosure of government abuse of surveillance is probably not going to go away anytime soon. Unfortunately, self-censorship is one more nail in the moribund democracy here in the US. Keep in mind that even if a person does not self censor, the mainstream media (which should now be understood as including major internet news hubs such as reddit) will likely prevent off-narrative news from spreading.

So, what's the solution? I don't know. Still waiting on a hot new SV startup to "disrupt" the surveillance state.
Yes, I think this is great.

It's the idea of making it mandatory that I consider domineering.

Great for a cult ... not so good for herding cats.
Thanks, maybe I'll give it a go (I like the idea with the beer and notepaper!)
This works a lot better if you're actually friends with most of your coworkers. Then it's pretty awesome.
There's another difference: in traditional publishing if you are almost (but not quite) ready for prime time, you have a chance at getting the help you need to get your work into a saleable state before it's published. As long as your potential exceeds the current quality of your work, traditional publishers will work to help you develop that potential.

If you are self-publishing, you'll take that same not-quite-ready work and publish it, and it will fail miserably. You'll get plenty of feedback telling your work isn't good enough, but little or none telling you what to do about it. Also, you will have established yourself as a second-rate self-publisher, decreasing the chances that anyone will bother trying any of your subsequent work, so even if you do manage to improve it won't matter because nobody will take the time to read your newer, better work.

In part, perhaps this is Worse is Better AKA the New Jersey way. One part is that this makes it simpler for education, but I'm not convinced, especially by their rationalizations in the published ISA, that this is acceptable for "industry", which they claim to also be aiming for.

Does he somehow own the rights to the NES and SNES Zelda content? I would think those are art assets owned by Nintendo, and reselling them would fall under some license agreement.
The author is less than enthusiastic about Apple and Microsoft pivoting to ARM. Considering the perf of the M1, this is virtually inevitable. And once most developer tool chains start supporting ARM as a first class citizen, I see no reason why we wouldn’t start running our applications on ARM in the cloud. A world with 2 architectures for mainstream use cases is the future, there’s no point fighting it.

(Unless you’re Intel/AMD in which case please fight it by giving us faster, more power-efficient chips for cheaper. Thanks!)

In ObjC the retain/release memory management system uses reference counters. When the count hits zero the object is deallocated so that does sound like what Linus is talking about.

Objective C also has the 'new' garbage collection system and there is autorelease which uses a memory pool and releases at some later point.
