One of the really important insights from Dweck's work is that the style of the feedback itself influences mindset, independent of whether the person receiving it is trying to become better or not. Kids who receive "you must be pretty smart" feedback are much more likely to fall into a fixed mindset, which in turn leads to avoiding challenge, resisting trying to become better, and having a harder time with failure. Kids who receive "you must have worked very hard" styled feedback are pretty much the opposite.

I really wanted to like this essay but I'm having a hard time with the fact that it basically overlooks how important feedback style is to mindset. The sixth paragraph in particular struck me as full of fixed-mindset thinking.
This is exactly why I've been hesitant to try them out. Do they have any value beyond credentialing/signaling effects for a comfortably intermediate programmer?
May I suggest taking a strong look at ProcessWire? You only need to deal with fields, templates and pages and all content is in a simple to understand tree hierarchy. I switched to it from WordPress 2.5 years ago and haven't looked back. Great developer community as well.

50% of them have been sold outside the US so your estimate might be a bit high.
> "Vestigial" is the wrong/insensitive word.

WELL, I never. I'm offended at your offence to my insensitivity. I can be intransigent about the value of logic relative to emotion as well.

> When dealing with a software system, wouldn't you want to understand the principles upon which it is built?

That depends on what you mean by principles. If you mean the CS theory that underpins it all, sure - that level of knowledge is absolutely necessary in many cases. If you mean the designer's intent, sure - that can help, but that would certainly take a back seat to the cold hard CS logic of reality. Also, I wouldn't feel a compulsion to extend the poor coding practices of yesteryear that may be found in legacy codebases (hint: I'm not talking about code, this is a tortured metaphor).

> Please don't tell me that you would feel the same way if a member of your family...

The desire for revenge is derived from a perceived injustice, that is why one seeks revenge against people and not motorboats - motorboats can't reason. The same goes for wild animal attacks. I think you almost touched on this in your third paragraph. But you're conflating emotions and actions.

> ...respectfully acknowledge their own wants and desires, such as desire for peace/security.

Ok, I officially respect and acknowledge your wants and desires for peace and security. BTW, you can't have either in a world where there is any amount of free will. What next? Is that your recommendation - empathy? I'll save you some trouble and just let you know ahead of time that if somebody is irrational - no amount of reasoning, emotional or logical, will change their position. That leaves only three courses of action for the self-interested rational being:

1) Try reason, if it doesn't work then turn to page 2 or 3

2) Violence, but it works in only a super narrow band of circumstances

3) Attempt to minimize the damage done to you by the emotion driven mob, this might mean fleeing into the wilderness and becoming a hermit... Or promoting the benefits of logical thought in daily exchanges by demonstrating the wealth, happiness and playboy lifestyle that it has brought you. Either or.

One issue that I won't compromise on is that of compromise, which is usually where the emotional route leads. There are plenty of things for which compromise is just fine, but are generally unimportant and not worth the argument, modifications of properties and not attributes (attributes define kindness of objects, properties do not). Like if you wanted to paint our rocket red (change the color property) that is fine, a compromise of half red vs full red really makes no difference outside of personal aesthetic preference. If you wanted to replace the engine with a bag of pineapples, well we have a problem - it is no longer a rocket and there is no compromise between fruit and engine that would leave it a rocket.
> The feeling of having a genuinely clean butt gives you the confidence you need to go crush it in the boardroom.

Memorable indeed.
Sarcastic tone forgiven, because I was there once too, but it seems like it's mostly liberals and progressives who are upset by this, while conservatives and capitalists more willing to forgive it. That seems backwards to me, as the progressive argument is that costs should be spread throughout society, from the haves to the have nots, and that if this is already the shell game of insurance anyway, it seems silly that Daraprim wasn't already playing it.

Either way, the capitalists had the right of it -- if the price was too high, there's a $1 per pill alternative right now. Assuming that all else holds true, I just don't see the harm here any more than I see the harm in Motorola charging $800 for their top of the line cell phones while Wal-Mart has one for a small fraction of that.

And why is that? Technically, we could repay all of our debt, at any time, as we print our own currency. There are long-term implications for what you are talking about, but we are far away from anything approaching a crisis (not including self-imposed crisis by The Congress). There is no connection between a household 'maintaining a budget' and the way the US government finances itself. It is a false equivalency, but serves as a useful political cudgel.
Really, two hours a week? That doesn't even pass a basic smell test. A typical owner might see the service center a few times a year at most.
Guess what. If you want paid family leave as a benefit, you can choose between that and alternative benefits, like having a higher salary, not to mention (for young people that are likely to have a family) being hirable in the first place. It doesn't come for free.
It's probably more, but I just added up the populations of CA, WA, and NJ. I know RI has it, but it's population is pretty small. That said, these programs are funded from employee paid disability/unemployment programs. It's not a huge reach for other states to implement similar programs. They just need to be pushed to do so (by we the people).
Yes, it is odd for someone to not take full paternity leave. See this article where Boz talks about it: http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-parental-leave-polic...
There was an essay sent from student to student around finals every year at my university. It reminded us that success takes many paths. It reminded us that for some, this may not be their path, and that was okay.

Success isn't about getting straight A's. It's about finding what you love and being the best you can be at it. Ignore the toxic culture and find yourself.

Yes. I did this. And then the day after graduating had an extreme realization that I had no idea why I was doing anything. I'd been on autopilot for the last 9 years. Ran myself into the ground in highschool to graduate top of the class. Killed myself in college to graduate with honors and have a job before graduating.

And then I graduated and realized that the next 40 years were in front of me. I didn't know what I wanted for myself. I had "achieved it!". I had graduated and had a job that would secure me more money than I would know what to do with, but I didn't know how to make myself happy.

I didn't know how to pace myself. I still don't. When I get an exciting project at work, I pour my god damn soul into it. And I love it. And then three months later I come up for air and realize that a word outside of my computer exists... and then I spend a week re-normalizing and getting to the point where I could walk outside and appreciate fresh air instead of thinking about where I needed to be in X + 10 minutes.

Some of it's on me. I grew up in a high-strung household with parents that are currently having anxiety problems because retirement is in the future and they don't know "what to do".

rantier part: Fuck the older generations that shit talk on millenials. I KNOW you weren't working your asses off like this in highschool and college, and I'm sick of hearing you toot your own horn because your mind is addled and you've forgotten your teen and twenties' years.

I still don't know how to truly relax and be happy. A week of vacation for me translates into about 2 days of actual relaxation. The first 5 days are spent going "wait, what the hell do I do now?"
There's also the dubious effectiveness of submitting culture / anthropology / environment articles to a place where people come looking for tech-startup and computer technology news.

Let me tell you how to fix it. Burn it with fire. Napalm should do. If it does not, try termite (of course metaphorically speaking).

We should not allow collection of data about our very close environment, especially home. This will open a direct threat to our well being.

I give you one specific example.

Suppose you have an IoT device in your bedroom that uploads CO2 values (of course it may also do something useful too such us showing this data to you or regulating the ventilation).

Now the rate of CO2 production depends on bodily activities. More activity means more CO2 production. I suppose that you agree that having this information you more or less are capable to deduce when a couple has sex.

This means that we could calculate a metric how much sex is going on and relate it to specific user.

Suppose that we detect that rate of sex has gone down by 20 (a made up number dependant of our model). We can now sell this information.

This information is for example useful perhaps for psychologist who want to sell you counselling.

But it is even more interesting for divorce lawyers who now could prey on couples having period of difficulty in their sex lives.

Even more, this information could be made more valuable by some additional influence. For example feeding the user with articles related to marital happiness and sex life.

I leave the rest for you imagination.

In an America where the middle class have supercomputers in their pockets, unlimited long-distance calling, cars with ten airbags, over a hundred channels of television, 3D movies, abundant food, air conditioning in their homes, and multi-gigabit broadband, I have grown increasingly skeptical that the "stagnant incomes" narrative is accurate.
People's motivations for staying at a company are pretty varied.

That said, without attempting to ascribe anything to the people at LivingSocial, one thing I have noticed is that a large number - if not most - talented devs are also really shit at interviewing and negotiation.

Myself and some others I know enjoy interviewing and are at least half-okay at negotiation, so we're very confident on the job market. I have met many developers who can code circles around me for whom interviewing carries a lot of dread, and they won't do it unless they feel they really need to.
The Anti-Phobic Effects of Thrilling Experiences
are you really saying having a minimum wage job should mean you don't have kids? Lets fix that first with basic income. Not to mention that kids are a way to government benefits and tax benefits, financial concerns are not the real issue here anyway. It is time off to care for babies. Hell, time off to be sick for a day. These jobs have the least responsibility but have the most rigid level of service.

He sounds like someone who would give a great talk. I can see that happening for sure. I've devoted my life to a lot less before realizing there was more out there. These people put so much time into their work there's little left for a broad life - unless you make some clear boundaries like Mark is doing now. Maybe this will be a one time thing and, as you suggest, he may regret not making more time for other areas of his life. Maybe he'll manage to carve out more time for himself.
I tried to google my way through verifying your statement, but didn't get very far. The number of companies offering "unlimited" or "discretionary" leave is very small. LinkedIn is the only other company I could find that I'd even heard of. I could find no statistics length of vacation for any of the companies I found.

Kickstarter removed it's "unlimited vacation" policy because it found that employees were not taking enough vacation. This seems to be a strong statement from the company that they want to encourage vacation taking.

I can find no evidence that most companies with "unlimited vacation" policies are trying to limit the amount of vacation for its employees. It would be great if you could furnish it, as I'm interested in this topic.

Given that the way to check (yank hard on the lap belt) is simple, issuing the recall might serve the additional purpose of determining how widespread the problem actually is. There will probably be (in fact probably already are) numerous posts on teslamotorsclub.com and reddit.com/r/teslamotors saying "no problem found here."
That question is very easily answered.

The average consumer knows that more "jigabits" are better and more "jigahertz" is better (see Intel NetBurst for how badly that can go wrong).

See a link elsewhere in this tread, someone posted a memory error presentation that talked about FIT, failures in time. But the average consumer doesn't know what that is.

Hence we get a race to the bottom. PC assemblers are willing to sell their mothers into slavery if it can save them $0.05 in build cost. ECC doesn't fit into that narrative.

BTW ECC is "in every computer" nowadays. As yet another poster mentioned, Intel CPUs use ECC internally to protect their caches.

>My guess is that this would cost at least 80% of a similar quality laptop that also includes "computer parts" and works as an actual computer.

80%? Without cpu, harddisk, memory, motherboard and without having to cramming all of this into a small space, without heat and power management circulatory to provide and manage power for all of these things? So in a laptop, you think these amount to only 20% of the cost?

Could you funnel bug reports through a form that requires fields to be filled out before submission?

Also, could you require the bug reporter to write step-by-step what QA must do to replicate?
