One thing that every good programmer has to learn to do is to be able to disentangle one's ego from one's code. It's very good to be proud of one's accomplishments. It's bad to become so attached to one's work that one suffers injury from criticism of or attempts to improve the work.

If you love your code too much, it'll be harder for you to see (or let others help you see) where it needs improvement and when it needs to be thrown away.

That assumes large corporations must lead innovation, which hasn't been true in decades. Startups do the bulk of that now, from li'l apps to SpaceX. Which the BigCorps recognize by buying startups instead of doing innovation in-house. The article even says it: "stock buybacks to make use of cash, coupled with acquisitions to lift revenue." And the money returned to shareholders doesn't vanish; its circulating in the economy.

A lot of comments are voicing opinions about politeness, but I'd like to focus on the study. In particular, I'd like to disagree with the conclusion. If you look at their stats and box plots, its a mess. They should run the Wilson test on all their data, not split it up by project. Also, the effect size is miniscule. In a couple of cases, it's negative, though p > 0.05 for those.

Before reading this study, I thought politeness helped fix issues faster. Now, I'm of the opinion that it has little or no effect. Of course, polite discourse is more pleasant, so I'll continue to be nice when communicating.

By the way, neither identity protection nor reuse across browsers does not strictly require IdP. In a strict sense, you don't need a trusted third party to transfer data between your devices or have a means to recover a lost key. If you have everything you need to prove your identity claims, you can decide how you handle those on your own, and whenever you want some TTP assistance or not.

And if you decide you do, the requirements are a lot more relaxed. With Persona you trust a very specific third party - some email provider. You trust it to behave and you trust it to serve and stay so for as long as you need your identity.

However, if - for example - you have an identity asserted by a keypair - you have way more possibilities, ranging from a key backup in a tamper-resistant HSM in a safe vault behind a blast-resistant doors in your basement, or setting up a secret sharing scheme where 3 out of 6 your close friends must get together to help you recover a lost key, to just uploading your key to Dropbox and not giving a damn. Isn't that a good thing?

And if the key's completely lost - it's the same as if the email provider's gone - you'll have to either give up or recover your accounts using some other ways (talking to a support and figuring out what would be a good replacement proof).
Show me a grocery store where fresh watercress and cherries are cheaper than some artificial crap loaded with added sugar, sodium, and preservatives, and people will start to eat healthier.

Here in urban China people still shop at fresh food markets, where there is only fresh food. Typical prices might be...

Tomatoes 4-8元 (yuan=CNY=<USD$2) per 斤 (jin=500g=1/2kg).
Spinach 4元 (<USD$1) per large bunch
Bananas 10元 (<USD$2) per large bunch (like 15-20 bananas)
Onion 1-2元 (<USD$0.50) per large purple onion (brown is rarely found)

Artificial crap can be had elsewhere for cheap, but it's not available in the markets, which also provide fresh soy milk, tofu, rice and wheat noodles, nuts, fish, etc.

It's a poor comparison to the medical world where you can not help but do dangerous things to solve even more dangerous problems.

(recs-collate). All jq can do seems to fall under recs-grep and recs-xform.

I'm not crazy about it, but using just a last name feels different than first+last - to me the latter seems like an active endorsement. Also Telsa has been dead 50 years longer than Hopper, which helps. And some names become genericized, almost like brands do - Einstein was a person but is now a synonym for smart/genius, so the Einstein Academy would bother me even less. Telsa feels somewhere between Hopper and Einstein on that scale.

I'd also have a problem with a 'Steve Jobs school for iPhone app development' or the 'Robin Williams comedy training centre'.

> "The DOM uses local state extensively, and sometimes you need to interact directly with its API. When you do, you can either do more work to translate it into your preferred architecture, or not."

> "Local component state is the new two-way data binding. . . If you listen to people who have spent a lot of time with both systems, what you hear are a lot of single state atom converts and not a lot of people saying "yeah it wasn't awesome so I went back to local component state."

> "I wouldn't maintain cursor state in the model . . . Whenever you want to change its value, just send the desired new value to that port and let the JS snippet do the "stash cursor position, set the new value, restore cursor position" bit."

The question we were addressing is where your state should live. @boubiyeah questioned the wisdom of storing all component state (e.g., the current position of a cursor) in a global atom. You responded that "[l]ocal component state is new two-way data binding." Yet yesterday you advised that component local state should live outside of the global atom.

Maybe it wasn't disingenous, as perhaps you've simply changed your mind. But then you should make clear that your opinion today is different from what you advised yesterday, as it bears on the credibility of your current advice.

More broadly, the Num command runs using awk, and number handling depends on your system's awk implementation and C libraries. Current awk implementations use an internal representation of all numbers, including integers, that uses double-precision floating-point numbers. I know GNU awk supports arbitrary precision arithmetic, and also can use --bignum, GNU MPFR and GNU MP (GMP); these will be great additions to the Num command for the next major version upgrade.

I'm biased since I'm an EE, but to me the real magic in game controllers is the mechanical/materials/manufacturing engineering that goes into making the buttons feel right and have consistent responsiveness. This is what most third-party controller manufacturers seem to get wrong, even (or perhaps especially) when they clone the basic shape and layout of a well-known controller.

That said, one of the cool things about how they designed the NES and SNES pads electrically/logically is that an SNES pad will actually work with an NES if you make an adapter for the different connectors, since it's the same protocol with a different number of data bits clocked. But the best part is that they didn't simply add X, Y, L, and R at the end of the bit stream for the SNES pad; instead they transposed it so that SNES Y is NES B and SNES B is NES A, which translates the common idioms used in action games on the two systems.
> Today, Wal-Mart runs a centralized economy bigger than Soviet consumer production in the 1970s.

No, it doesn't. It runs a business enterprise spread through a number of economies that is bigger than Soviet consumer production in the 1970s, which is perhaps a mildly interesting factoid but not particularly significant in assessing planned economies, since most of the markets in which it operates are not planned economies, and, in any case, even for any that are, WalMart isn't doing the planning.

Absolutely anecdotal. This article nor myself never stated that "the entire out-of-work blue collar worker population" can or even would want to make the jump. Many of these blue collar workers can move into other industries it just so happens that programming is becoming more of a trade skill than an engineering one. There is currently a demand for highly skilled CS engineers. However, the jobs that do not require CS skill sets per se, but rather require "coding" skills are becoming more abundant.

Really my "coding" skills have helped me in other areas opening my eyes in new ways to automating my skill set. One of the best testaments to this was talked about by Zed Shaw http://learncodethehardway.org/blog/MAY_15_2012.html Basically stating that programming is a supplement to other skill sets. The majority of these programming bootcamps/workshops are geared towards onramping rapidly to jobs that would not typically qualify as engineering positions. These jobs typically require whiteboard interviews, but once you actually get on the job your programming skill set is not nearly as utilized as it was during the interview. While I cannot quantify this supposition it would be really difficult to get a company to admit or supply data stating that they interview for rock stars, but have you do "janitorial" code work in reality.

Where the Bloomberg article most failed is stating that they "cannot" learn to code. Pretending that becoming a developer/engineer/coder requires some minimal level of IQ, even the IQ standard is hotly debated, is ridiculous. Just as any other skill set it just requires dedication and commitment.

While I think you may be over reacting a bit, I agree with you. Folks centuries before us figured out that suffering is what makes enjoyable things enjoyable. Without hurt and pain you have no appreciation for the finer things.

There are many, many places on earth where you can go and live precisely the lifestyle that the vast majority lived before the Industrial Age. Assuming you live in the US, there are literally tens of millions of acres of land in the West around the Rockies where you can live completely away from modern industry. Grow your own food, build your own cabin, never touch modern medicine.

If you really feel that all progress for the past thousand years has been worthless, go ahead and live a life from a thousand years ago. I'm pretty sure it will take you less a month to realize that life sucked back then.

When the movie Jacob’s Ladder came out in 1990, many people were probably not aware that it was loosely based on 1968 military experiments conducted in lab and field exercises at the Edgewood Arsenal proving ground in Maryland. Even though Jacob’s Ladder ends with a brief description of 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (BZ) and its effects, Adrian Lyne, the film’s director, has denied the powerful and dangerous hallucinogenic compound was ever used on human test subjects. However, there is evidence to suggest otherwise.

On Erowid.org’s Datura ‘effects’ section, they list delirium capable of bringing about auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations indistinguishable from reality. This waking dream-like state can lead to unconscious violent behavior much like a drunken ‘black-out.’ It’s also reported uncommonly large doses can cause hallucinations lasting for two to three days. This mirrors available data regarding the duration of BZ’s effects.

Maybe, maybe not. I think that in any case the 'stuff' (Algorithms, Databases, Operating System Internals, etc) they teach in college is intrinsically interesting. (Or perhaps not.) In any case it is also extraordinarily useful when you're doing something new and can't rely on the work of other people who already knew it. The thing is, the more time you spend learning 'junk food' topics like frameworks and API's the faster you're going to have to walk the treadmill to stay relevant. The more theory you know the slower you go out of date.

Sure, it's not a nonexistent market, but the number of people willing to spend $1200/year to be allowed to borrow three items of second hand clothing at a time from a catalogue is likely considerably smaller than the number of people wanting to regularly watch movies and TV series. Their current model seems to need a target audience that's both willing and able to pay a premium for designer clothes and focused mainly on value for money. That might not be the smallest niche in the world, but it's probably not Netflix-sized either.

I'd have thought second hand trading would be easier to get right than juggling all the variables of a rental model too...

Here's my "N=1" anecdote:

Not sure if I technically have SAD, but I definitely used to get depressed during winter in Chicago because the sun was NEVER out. Since moving to the Bay Area I've been noticeably happier.

Beyond that, I have two full-spectrum lamps at home. I used to use one last year on my desk at home, but haven't used them lately. My desk doesn't get a ton of natural light, so I've considered bringing one to the office since daylight savings makes it SOOO dark.

When I'm using the lamp, I experience a similar feeling to when I'm basking in sunlight. I feel like I am gaining energy rather than losing it. Sometimes it can be a bit bright, but the brightness doesn't hurt...it is just energizing.

Really hard to explain, and again, sample size of 1 here, but the lamps can help in some cases. When I used it most recently last winter on my desk at night after a long work day, it definitely helped. But I found that it made it more difficult to go to sleep, so instead I don't use it, have f.lux running, and just try to get outside into the natural sunlight when I can for a little bit when I can carve out some free time. I live in California so might as well take advantage of that right?
