I have to admit I was wondering if at some point the author was modeling passengers as perfectly spherical objects vibrating in a sinusoidal fashion.

It reminded me of all of those traffic studies where they conclude that they can increase traffic flow through a city by reducing all of the speed limits and taking away lanes and then something magical happens. Or the counter studies that say adding lanes reduces the total volume of traffic a road can process because it will make more people take the road and cause it to back up.

The issue with pensions is already being dealt with. Either by their absence from many employers (US, not sure about the rest of the developed world), or by delaying the age at which you can receive it or reducing the rate at which you earn into it.

Social Security is an example of this, http://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/agereduction.html. This, of course, requires an act of Congress to change. But businesses aren't so limited, new employees can be brought in on a new pension system while grandfathering in the old ones, with few (if any) legal holdups.
When you say "Ads never work for me", you're really saying "I never click on ads". Even if you never interact with ads, they still work on you, because you see them. Modern advertising is built on decades of psychology research, much of it dealing with trust and the importance of repeatedly viewing a brand to build that trust.

The guys with an established logistics channel, reputation, 5 star reviews, all have that in part because they've been advertising longer than the new players. This is how all brands enter our mindspace. Even the titans of today started as unknown brands putting ads in magazines yesterday.
401(k) is something we are planning on early next year, yes.

As for the seven years in with 10 employees, definitely valid point. However, I always make sure to point out to candidates that we were 3 employees 2 years ago and are now getting significant traction with bigger clients. We are in an extremely slow moving B2B industry so it takes significant time to get that initial traction. It is very much a referral based sales process and potential customers like to bucket themselves based on size. Effectively, we've had to work our way up the food chain to get to the bigger fish. We expect to be 20 by the end of next year, so it carries more weight now than it would have 2 years ago. This is the same reason we even foresee a sale event in the next 2 - 3 years with the growth we've had over the last 18 months.

Perhaps that's stockholm syndrome speaking (kidding) :p
Modern web advertising networks are an example of data telling lies we (or advertisers) want to hear.

The dream has always been to connect each advertising dollar spent to revenue generated. The reality is that data only exists in people's heads, is spread out over time, or is in their social interactions. My hunch is at least half, if not more, of all positive impact of ads (for the ad buyer) is generated this way. The data isn't low quality... it is literally impossible to collect.

For example: You research items on your desktop, then actually make the purchase on your phone while taking the train home. Maybe they can connect you to that purchase with enough tracking; So what if your neighbor or coworker asks about the product? Can't track that one.

Another example: You hear ads on a podcast for Igloo and when work starts asking about preferences for Confluence vs Jira you mention looking into Igloo. Your company ends up adopting it. Later you grow from 20 people to 3000. There's absolutely no way for Igloo to connect the dots leading to a 3000 user account. Let's say after discounts that's $300k/year. If Igloo paid $200/episode * 52 episodes/year * 20 podcasts = $208k. That's an absolute steal just to acquire that single customer.

Yet another example: You may be 24 with no kids living in an apartment but will you always be that way? Smart car makers understand that if you have a good experience with your first car in their brand you're much more likely to buy a larger car from them when you have kids, or a more luxurious car when your career advances. How can you figure out if the dollars spent advertising to the college kid with no money is wasted in that scenario?

So that's the great lie... that somehow all the tracking cookies, comScore profiles, etc will make advertising more effective or has some benefit period, regardless of fraud or click bots.

Advertising on the web right now is a fool's errand in many cases. I'm glad because it gives the small guys like me a chance to exploit the system to buy ads on lower-volume sites directly from the content creators and reach a good sized audience.
...and if the company goes under and doesn't responsibly transfer ownership?

Quality ads like Taboola and Outbrain? It's an extortion scheme to shake down ad networks for money and nothing else. I'm surprised the developer of Crystal was so short sighted, as this increases the chances that someone will make a no-whitelist app that will become more popular and displace him (as uBlock and Adblock are slowly displacing ABP). Not to mention the fact that users are PAYING him to block ads and then he turns around and defeats part of the app's only feature.
I had only one showstopper which prevented me from switching to IntelliJ:

* Whenever I Alt-Tab to some other application, and then Alt-Tab back to IntelliJ, it somehow selects Menu, and I need to actually get off hands from my keyboard, click on the editor frame, and only after all of that hassle I could continue typing. Happened on multiple machines using multiple operating systems.
And it's not really that complex when you look at it from a macro view point. Its purpose should be even smaller.
I agree with you that ORMs don't add a whole lot of value to Node, but I think there's still value in slightly-higher-level libraries.

Like, doing a simple `select whatever from table where x = ? and y = ? and z = ?` is annoying with a string-based query builder when those parameters are optional, sousing something like Knex where you can just pass in a hash of field/value pairs for the criteria for your where clause is a big win.
No, there is not. The community edition of IntelliJ only supports basic Java development (no JavaScript or other languages).
I have a hate / hate relationship with Eclipse. It uses too much RAM, is slow and throws random messages about some exception in connection with some cvs I don't even use. Unfortunately I can't use anything else because of some custom plugins... Also, I learned that the most efficient way to find something in its menus is to google it. Horrible UX. Even Netbeans was better (I am still using an old version which supports python).

I'm sorry sir; I believe you've dropped your tin-foil hat.
I like the idea. Here's a thought:

There are a few sites out there which rate charities on where donated money goes. Research those and convert the percentages into steps - for example, if you take 10000 steps a day, and your charity runs a 10% administration overhead, then your first 1000 steps go to the charity, the rest go to the people the charity should be helping (and if you are making profit from your app, tell them how many steps you guys are taking). This may help you with the motivation issues.

I can't check your app as I'm an android user, but could you add a cooperative mode? Rather than compete against your friends, why not pool your steps together? Competition could be added to this through a co-op leaderboard. Also, lazy bastards like me could sponsor teams ('I'll give you $10 if you hit a million steps with your friends') This could open up interesting things like a whole company 'stepping' together, the you could have Google vs Facebook step contests for charity.

Good luck on your venture!

Cursory DuckDuckGoing yields many more.
To me, the biggest problem is that most of these men were not engaging in behavior I could point out to someone else as "harassment."

I have pretty good radar for this stuff and I pay close attention to subtext. I often see this stuff well before other people would recognize the problem. My ability to conclude that "Oh, this man's problem with me he is has a Thing for me" is something that helps me protect myself from far worse outcomes than walking on eggshells, but I am almost never in a position to prove to other people that I really need to walk on eggshells because some powerful man has a Thing for me and, therefore, no matter what I do, it will be wrong. But I can still feel the weight of this constant burden.

I imagine (and have reason to believe) women with worse radar (or worse "luck") have it much harder.

My main point is that because most people in positions of power are heterosexual men, most men hoping to get promoted do not need to spend enormous amounts of time and energy worrying whether a man at work who is being friendly is really just hoping to get him out of his clothes. (Edit: That is poorly worded but I don't know how to fix it. In my experience, it matters little whether or not they actually hope to act on their attraction. In most cases, just the fact that a man has attraction to me turns into a big problem, regardless of what his actual intentions are.)

I am 50 years old. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two men (in my entire life, not just work experience) who were married, seemed to find me attractive, and weren't assholes to me over it. The majority of the time, if a man desires me and can't have me, I am going to suffer over it. Very few men are any good at going "Welp, it's unfortunate I met her after I got married." In fact, many men will be downright angry at me for the crime of turning their head and serving as temptation. It's a really terrible position for me to be in. There is just zero upside. It is all downside.

So, in my example, you might use the ORM, perform three inserts (one for each table) in a transaction. If any fail, rollback.

However, in the select, where'd you'd have to join all three tables, you might use SQL, yes?

I'm just curious how people are using ORMs vs SQL, so sorry for the questions.

I have noticed this in myself. Generally, I find ads terribly annoying and frequently offensive. And then on occasion I see or hear on ad for something that actually interests me. Maybe it is for a service I did not know existed. At that point, I don't think of it as an ad. I think of it as useful information I discovered. Only later do I realize that the "useful information I discovered the other day" was really an ad.
Ok, but what I'm saying is that I didn't have to enumerate any schema in this case. I understand the benefits of doing so, but it's sometimes desirable to just get something running rather than spend time mapping your ORM to your schema. If I wrote the SQL directly, I also wouldn't need to enumerate my columns in advance, but bookshelf offers some of the conveniences of an ORM without adding an additional configuration step to the process.

Perhaps for you, but this does not subvert the core purpose of Crystal for me.

I will continue using Crystal, with the default option, since I don't mind seeing minimal, non-intrusive ads that don't completely disrupt my user experience. And I don't have a problem with responsible websites with responsible ads getting paid.

In fact, this option to have vetted ads is pretty much ideal for me!

Edit: I'm curious, why do people dislike my preference here? I'm not saying anybody else has to like Crystal, just that it's matches my desires.

Actually the article (in the quote the replier posted) uses statistics to so show, evidently, that drug users commit violence less frequently than a control group; the quote does not discount the causal effect of drugs and violence, much less in such a specific case.

The way to invalidate the poster's original claim is to show evidence that the violent behavior in that specific instance (or at least a comparable instance) was in no way related to the perpetrator's drug-influenced physiological state. I believe that would be difficult to demonstrate.
Do any IDEs support large (million+ LOC) code bases?
I think it's because IntelliJ has a greater cool factor. Exact same thing happens with Apple. Apple customers, say macbook users, complain about the high prices, subpar hardware, iTunes and other software issues in private. But then the same people can brag about their macbook in a different context. Eclipse is just not as cool as IntelliJ. But it gets the work done. And has more capabilities, and is open source, etc. etc. Yet, Eclipse is not cool. So we see an eagerness to point at its weak points.

My personal comparison:

Once you have the right plugins it's super easy to create a scala project with maven in Eclipse. I had to download scala sources and tell IntelliJ their location, still it didn't work. Forget about maven. (I'm sure IntelliJ gurus can set it up, my point is it's not easy for n00bs)
That's interesting, I feel the same way about faces. It just feels natural to me.

I got a 13/14 on the first test you posted. Then I decided to take the extended test:

- 27/32 (top 5%) inverted face recognition

- 38/40 (top 25%) glasgow face matching

- 32/40 (<top 50%) chair recognition test

The results are very interesting. I don't know what to make of them. But these tests were fun nonetheless! Thanks kozukumi.
Not really a bug, more of an enhancement.
> men are simple buffoons incapable of routine household tasks.

Well we kind of are.

When I was in college, the RAs had classes to teach students some basic things like do laundry. They were all pretty much attended by male students.

If you believe the anecdotes about dating males in tech, this problem has only been exacerbated--self important tech guys with disposable income who outsource as much of their life as possible: grocery shopping, meal cooking, lawn care, routine car maintenance, routine house maintenance, cleaning, driving, and other normal household tasks to "Uber of X" like services.

Add to that the propensity for certain cultures to have a Mother-in-law dominated household, and you can see that the "media" isn't too far off in it's portrayals.
> Not sure I follow. If I die in war at 18 as a male, I can't pass on my genes either.

Men, specially young men, are genetically programmed to not think about that. A typical 18 year old that goes to war does not think he's going to die. He thinks he's going to come back as a war hero and enjoy the... shall we say "admiration" of all his dead comrades' girlfriends.

> In addition, there's nothing stopping a successful female from having a child and handing it over to a team of nannies immediately upon birth like successful men do.

Successful men can sire offspring in 15 minutes (or less, but there's already a pill for that) and delegate. Successful women have to fight their body for at least six months in order to hold on to their position during pregnancy. Then comes the postpartum depression and a whole other array of nasties.

So, not the same thing.
Maybe not the apocryphal Forth washing machine controller, but components used in automation often employ web servers for remote configuration and statistics. If it isn't a PLC (although there are some devices that basically mix a small embedded RT PC with a PLC).
Connect to the device via ethernet, and the device then communicates with a machine through some kind of bus.

If you've got wifi/ethernet, configuration through web servers comes naturally.

"Sometimes if a task is complex, annoying and specific enough, it's better to just pay a company to produce a maintained tool rather than relying on the open source community to just "solve it for you"."

Hey, if you feel like paying for Eclipse, you totally can :) That because, Eclipse is a basis for IBM's commercial IDEs such as "Rational Application Developer", "Rational Software Architect", etc. IIRC, some of these go for $5,000+ a pop. So, anyways, Eclipse is not built by some random open source enthusiasts, it is mostly built by IBM employees.
Ha good point. I'm going to circle back to the comment above mine though. I'm going to change his $20 to $15 because that is the highest amount listed on their site.

I'm also going to factor in that this only removes at most 50% of the ads. we are talking about vising something like 166 (15000/30/6 *2(for the 50%)) pages on an average day. And those are pages with google ads only.

So do I visit 166 pages with 6 google ads on it a day? I don't honestly know but I doubt it.

Now if I could pay $15 a month to remove ALL ads, I think that would be worth my money, even though I still doubt that I visit 166 pages a day.

Again: JDT is just fine. It is not dying.

Yes the chart screenshots are from our website. But I can also confirm that the chart screenshots show only the data from the the top-level JDT project. It is not including the sub-projects. We have someone working on fixing that now. Here is a summary of the commits since June:

+-------------------+---------+
| project | commits |
+-------------------+---------+
| eclipse.jdt | 8 |
| eclipse.jdt.core | 165 |
| eclipse.jdt.debug | 18 |
| eclipse.jdt.ui | 34 |
+-------------------+---------+

As I said all the work is happening in the Java 9 branch, and are not being included. Take a look at the link I included in my original post, which shows 108 commits in jdt.core just in the last month.
