We were originally talking about urban trucks, so these are not the people who totally need the vehicle. It is generally cheaper and easier to do that your way here, and most people do. But there is a very large subset of people who want a truck regardless of the cost. People in the country often have a legitimate need.

The stuff I worry about is, that Discord currently runs in the Google Cloud and that they will require an Microsoft Account in order to Login and Linux Support will be even worse in the future (yes it works great, but Screen sharing overloads everything for X Minutes).

I hope Discord will stay Discord, owned by Discord.

There is a shift towards cremation in the US http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_cremation_..., though seems to still be eschewed in the south. I don't know if there is any Baptist, or other religious teaching against cremation, or maybe it just has to do with cheaper land.
>Alice installs app on smartphone. Alice puts smartphone in cradle on dashboard.

I tried this, but camera phones are (currently) too terrible. I would be curious if anybody more skilled than me (I'm just tinkering) could make it work.
Two answers:

1. No, my point wasn't that there's something wrong with using the word "suckers" to describe people on $200k/year, but that I strongly suspect that he's substantially better off than a lot of the people he's labelling as "suckers".

2. Oh ho ho ho. Yes, indeed he said that. But the fact that someone says "I'm doing X to demonstrate the power of language" doesn't mean that's really why he's doing X. It may merely mean that he's hoping to deflect criticism of the sleazy rhetorical move he's pulling. Which, by an astonishing coincidence, moves in the same direction as the sleazy rhetorical move of saying "allow yourself to imagine" followed by this huge pile of problems our hypothetical doctor might have, each of them plausible enough but distinctly unlikely in the aggregate, and then "That's what the real world looks like for the so-called Sandwich Generation". No, it's what the real world looks like for a small fraction of the apparently-affluent, of any generation.

Oh. And "gang-raped by the Rich and the Majority while they high-five each other and call it fairness"? I suppose that would be another example of a loaded word to demonstrate the power of language. The most that anyone's proposed is that his taxes should be returned to the level they were at before the so-called Bush tax cuts, which would put them at about the same level as they were under that egalitarian communitarian socialist, Ronald Reagan. And even that has just been put on hold for two years.

No I think you've missed the point. The doctor is making far more over the basic rate required to get by than the carpenter. The doctor's cries at night because he can't afford another Mont-Blanc pen and the carpenter can't send his kids to school. You have to understand that the doctor's needs are satisfied, not his wants.

I was told I needed to polish up on some data structures and algorithms topics, which of course I knew already after the interview. More helpful was the feedback I got on the coding portion of the test. I was told I appeared to lack familiarity with Python since I shadowed a built-in function name with my own variable. I knew what I was doing. I didn't need the built-in function in that scope, naming things is hard, and under the pressure of coding under someone's watchful eye I made a quick decision. I won't do that anymore.

Movies can be a catalyst for good.

The movie Marooned (1969) depicted a Soviet spacecraft rendezvousing with a stricken American spacecraft to deliver oxygen via an EVA. However, it was unable to dock.

This movie was circulating right around the time of the Apollo 13 mission. The movie was shown to Philip Handler, president of the National Academy of Sciences, who approached the Soviets about a common docking system. The result was the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project and the APAS androgynous docking system.

This is great, but their basic text editor isn't usable for me for what I think are pretty reasonably sized files (170kb of Markdown). This doesn't have to be because the editor they use (Ace) works fine with it, so I don't know what they're doing to it. A tech support person said it was only there for small files, not for serious editing.

I was working on a project and wanted non-techies to edit Markdown for me on the site, being able to preview the results, but couldn't make it work on these files.

So I wish they'd fix that rather than more editors for other file types.
You seem to be suggesting that the only valid opinions on any topic are those that originate from a person without any bias but who is somehow intimately informed about the topic.

Those people generally don't exist. The best we can hope for is some reasonable amount of transparency along with a variety of opinions.

You learn something new everyday!
It's just patently absurd. First of all, a person who is 35 expects their body to live until they are 80 but throws in the towel on learning new skills because their brain is broken? And what about the requirement that the president be at least 35...if he/she isn't able to learn new skills? And then, most importantly, where's the data? I don't observe that people in their 30s and 40s have trouble picking up new skills.
What do the superrich do with their money? I think seeing where their money goes would shed some light into the question of, 'how does superwealth affect the world?'.

Personally I'm fine with people who are superrich, if they have learned to be responsible with that money. OTOH I do want superwealth to be a little more transparent in its effects on my environment.

Little stars, big stars, are all fine by me. But I don't like'm black holes. They're eff'n scary.
I'm the parent of "gifted" children, and found that the tests these days are pretty objective, focusing on identifying traits in order to optimize the curriculum for all students. In spite of different capabilities, kids in an age group are emotional peers, and keeping them together is an important goal. Therefore, it's important not to view the process as stigmatizing or as a popularity contest. Different kids have different needs, and parents who desperately want their children to be labeled as "gifted" risk ignoring the true nature of their children, possibly doing more harm than good. I've found it expedient to treat "giftedness" as another learning disorder, or at the very least, a special need, which helps to keep my parental ego out of the equation.

For example, one of the key traits for identifying the gifted kids is the ability to learn without repetition. They absorb and retain information instantly, and often become bored or restless if they aren't continually challenged. You might be surprised to learn that among the gifted children are often kids with behavioral problems or full-blown ADHD. But it makes sense when you realize that the symptoms can flare up while the teacher is repeating lessons for students who need it, leaving the others to their own devices.

Some gifted kids are well-rounded, while others display traits that make them gifted in specific areas (excellent pattern-recognition and large vocabularies can be indicators). A good program will identify these traits and tailor an approach that works best for the individual. It may sound complicated, but I've seen it handled effectively in my children's public school, so it's definitely attainable.
Why did the author put scare-quotes around `facts'?
This is another great opportunity to point out something rather puzzling about this recession.

If you have a college degree your unemployment rate is 4.7%, with a big chunk of that 4.7% in the building related fields (architects, civil engineers, etc... are having a tough go right now).

http://www.bls.gov/cps/tables.htm#monthly

It's a double digit unemployment rate if you just have a high school diploma. Meanwhile manufacturing output has actually increased dramatically, without adding any significant jobs. That's what I find scary. The U.S. is the worlds leading manufacturer (I'm having trouble finding data from 2009, but in 2008 we we're the largest manufacturer by a wide margin). Yet, manufacturing jobs are way down. I'm not sure those jobs are ever coming back. We've gotten crazy good at automation. Until the cost of human labor in the U.S. decreases by a rather large percentage, we'll continue to build ever more sophisticated systems for building things.

I'm not sure what that leaves us with.
We're experiencing some missed communication. I believe that's because "how it should look" encompasses two separate aspects -- functionality, and visual appeal. My comment about helping aesthetics was specifically regarding border width. I don't think you're suggesting a border width decision has anything to do with how something works.

Let me explain it better this way. I am fantastic at putting together wireframes for sites. A wireframe requires no programming or artistic ability, because it uses simply black and white lines, yet still effectively communicates the placement of elements, site flow, and overall intended functional user experience. I believe this is the type of design you're referring to. Again, this is something I feel I'm quite good at. Now, while I'm fully capable of cutting up and building out any wireframes I (or anyone else) come up with, and putting them online, it's probably not a good idea, because black and white lines would lack visual appeal. That's where graphic artists (what I usually call graphic designers) come in -- but in that instance they're mostly just adding in shapes, colors, and gradients etc. (and figuring out border width ;)

To me, building great wireframes and flow charts generally fits better with the thinking of programmers -- people most in tuned with thinking logically -- than creative artsy types, but that's just my thinking.
> One last eye-opener: this only helps plug up the year-to-year budget deficit. The actual national debt is $13.5 trillion...

This. The political reality is that people scream bloody murder when even the "small ticket items" are changed. There is no possible way the people and the politicians they elect will face and solve this budget crisis in time to avert a crisis. The NYT "game" should have had one check box at the bottom labeled "continue to borrow until the dollar is destroyed". But people dismiss this danger as just abstract theory and rationalize it on the Russian Roulette Principle (we got away with it in the past).

As an aside, there are all sorts of unidentified or implicit errors and bad theories built into this game which makes it a pointless exercise and impossible to actually judge. For example, If you reduce the tax break for employer-provided health insurance it shows up as a spending cut but that is actually a tax increase on imputed income. Another example is that if you cap Medicare growth the economic implication (especially if inflation takes off) is price-fixing or rationing of services. This is Econ 101 (it won't work) but the average person probably does not have the analytic skills to see the cap for what it is.
Where can I get one of these for 699?
I wonder how it relates to a few npm forks (https://github.com/rlidwka/yapm, https://github.com/visionmedia/npm) created earlier this year, especially to second one since @visionmedia didn't change its name...

And what about alternate npm-compatible registries (https://github.com/mbrevoort/node-reggie, https://github.com/rlidwka/sinopia, https://github.com/cnpm/cnpmjs.org), not based on CouchDB?

"npm" isn't only a product name anymore since it's used extremely widely, so this doesn't seem like a good thing to do.

That's basically tautological. Controversy just means people disagree. It doesn't say anything about which cases are controversial and why.
So how does it work?

I imagine there are two concurrent threads: one receiving input from the programmer and another running the graphics and window event loop. How do these two communicate? I tried writing something similar as a teenager and the multithreading work quickly overwhelmed me. Perhaps there's a better approach?

Calling it "proper software engineering" is little pretentious at best, but there is some distinction to be made between software engineering in the bay area and most software engineering elsewhere.

When we think of SF software, we think of software created by a company whose core product is the software itself, especially when the end-users are individuals or other software companies.

This is quite a bit different than most software developed outside of the bay area. Most of it is either in-house stuff or industry-specific B2B stuff. In these situations, the software doesn't have to be pretty, it doesn't have to use cutting-edge tech to woo investors, resource utilization is much less important, and hell - it usually doesn't even have to scale. It just has to work. It just has to make someone's job incrementally better, and it'll be a success.

This software can be tremendously valuable, and creating it has its own unique challenges, but the job is indeed a bit different than software engineering in the bay, and the compensation is different as well.
But, as a certain bearded German economist once noted, the remuneration of labour is not related to the value it produces. As long as there is a reserve mass of unemployed people, that remuneration is related to the minimum that the worker needs to survive. Agree or disagree with the rest, Marx was right on the money with this one.

Of course, since there is more demand than supply of qualified workers, remuneration rises above that minimum. But as long as an Indian developer is "glad" to do the same work as you for 1/4 pay...
Google is a champion speed and consider it a core-competency. I know that when building EveryMentor.com I did my best to keep it fast and lightweight and I am really proud of how responsive it feels. HTML requests are 260ms and after the initial jQuery/CSS caching, there are really few images to deal with either.

It feels blazing fast with Chrome and that is really important to me.
So, my question is, what is the problem with enjoying an activity as a social activity rather than a goal-achievement activity? If he chooses to spend his social time in a softball league rather than Scouts, is he doomed to mediocrity for not training to become the best softball player he is capable of? Why didn't this conversation end at "sounds like Eagle Scout isn't for you, just make sure to be really good at something else"?

The ultimatum of "Eagle or quit" is nonsensical to me. This person clearly has dedication to other parts of his life, and Scouts is just a soical outlet. Why should he give that up, how does that imply impending mediocrity?
Something I still have yet to understand is how people who develop for and want to improve apple products repeatedly get screwed over by apple. (Granted he may have been a bit quick to jump to the top in this case)

Then they keep going right back to develop and improve apple products. Why keep going back?
Thanks for introducing me to dadgum. I read a number of his older articles and I must say his opinions resonate with me. I'm going back in for some more. :)
It's a fair point that the article makes. However, I've started out about 1.5 year ago with a programming group for kids in high school, and my choice was Python. I have since not regretted this decision because of one factor: fun. I could have gone with a weekly lecture on all sorts of theoretical things will learn again if (or when) they start at university.

Instead, I wrote a wrapper around OpenGL that provided some functions like "drawRectangle()" or "drawImage()", and they have used it to build all sorts of things. Additionally, they are constantly wanting to try other stuff. I don't think they would have done this if they didn't enjoy the process of writing code.
I wish Signal would also sell something, anything, but sell it: t-shirts, plushies/pillows, paid sticker packs, a "PRO" logo next to your name in your contacts list (to satisfy your vanity), a fake "license" that marks you as a supporter (gpg key signature of your name or something like that).

This is a criticism I give to all FOSS projects trying to raise money, sell me stuff, it's easier to justify an expense than a donation, especially if I pay it through my company.

Yep. All visitors were wearing a Bubikopf.

> However, it wasn't just that. The end of WWII is Year Zero for a lot of what we're still living with, from the Cold War to modern computing technology to the roads we in America drive on, because it was so destructive it erased the previous world in a way few things had.

My point was, that other countries are glorifying their past empires or at least acknowledge, that they once beat the British, while Germany is much more limited. Compare for example how Poles and people from Eastern Germany see Russia.

> And isn't it interesting that when Europe begins to get unified, Germany is right there leading the way.

Well, initially it was the other way round. Germany was unified and Europe united and integrated partly because of a growing Germany. [0]
