I am not a biologist, so you shouldn't draw any conclusions from me not knowing good examples or the state of verification.

Your Wikipedia link seems to mention evidence for the "modern evolutionary synthesis", are you sure that there has been no falsification? Also, I have heard that name for the first time today.
It is not really the thing you think it is. A lot of high-profile teams have given up on typedclojure in favor of run-time checks like the Prismatic tools.
.NET 2, 3.5 and 4+ are distinct and updated differently. Vista shipped with .NET 3.0 and automatically updated to .NET 3.5. .NET 4.x is not an automatic update on Windows Vista, it has to be manually selected and added with admin rights .NET 2 and 3.5 are disabled by default on Windows 8/8.1/10 and require admin rights to enable them. So, there's no version of .NET in and of itself that will work on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. The one exception is if you specifically build a .NET 2 or 3 app and list compatibility with .NET 3/4.5 in the packaging manifest, then it will work with all the bundled versions of .NET on Windows Vista and later releases.

We're making a programming game for learning to code. This is going to be the default way that everyone learns programming. We're 100% open source and looking for sales and engineering.

See https://jobs.lever.co/codecombat for more details.
I think a lot of this depends on the type of personality the person has. I've worked in open offices my entire career (18 years). I've never had trouble zoning out from distractions and concentrating on coding. A good pair of headphones is big help in this regard.

Update after the controversy:

Hear hear, until Redhat begins to feel some heat from Poettering's (and Seivers and the rest of these fools), these fools will just continue on their arrogant bull in a china factory path they are presently on.

Start informing Redhat that these responses on Poettering's part reflect badly on them as a whole, and especially _stop_ paying Redhat any money until the issue is resolved, and Redhat will resolve the issue very quickly.
your review reminded me of a favourite article:

C++ User Group Meetings in February
But...but... Collaboration makes us agile! /s
Well one option is that if meetings are shorter and we waste less time on performance-evaluating BS, then the surplus of manager's time will result in less demand for managers.

Heaven forfend
In a word, yes.

Is there an implication that work should be fun and fulfilling so as to make me happy? Work does not make me happy. It affords me the money I need to keep my family healthy and safe. Happiness comes from within: art, literature, mathematics, science, family, friends... life.

I just make money by selling some portion of my waking life to the pursuits of others by helping them realize their ideas in software.

The ideas I have are just not marketable. My curiosity hasn't led me to dream about ways I can extract rents from financial tools or make advertising more profitable. I find myself to have more in common with Donald Knuth or John Conway than Larry Ellison or Bill Gates. If I could find a way to work with hard, fundamental problems or pursue hunches that may have no fiscal utility I'd be happy as a clam at high water. Alas I never had the privilege and opportunity to pursue a career in academia and, given what I understand of the current climates there, probably wouldn't find it fulfilling either.

So I content myself with tinkering and following my own hunches and try to maximize the dollars-per-hour exchange I make so I can spend less time with the mundane world of markets and value and return to the land of whimsy.

Update To clarify, I don't want to put myself in the same esteem as my heroes, Knuth or Conway. What I do find in common with them is a curiosity and propensity for selecting problems merely because they are interesting and with disregard for external factors such as economic utility.

Résumé/CV: https://EdBabcock.com/resume

Email: (str "Ed" '@EdBabcock ".com")

I'm looking for a mid-level, full time position, preferably as a Clojure
or ClojureScript developer. I have worked as a full stack developer in
the past and would be comfortable working on both front-end and back-end
tasks.

While I specialize in Clojure(Script), I am aware that it's not the most
common commonly used language. I also have experience working in PHP,
Java, and JavaScript and would be open to a more junior position in them
if available.
The Value of College

Interesting point of the day. love that
Be realistic. 300k a year is waaay above the median for senior dev salaries save for a few very specialized niches (fintech and biotech spring to mind).

This is exactly the kind of misinformation that makes newbs to the industry think they're gonna be rich rockstars programming... stop it.
> Cooling data centers with seawater

Won't this literally warm the oceans?

I don't mean to get all treehugerry...but what would climate science tell us about planning on submerging any significant percent of our planets data centers?
Woah, can you expand on this? Are you a contractor or a government employee? What makes it laid back? Are the deadlines just more reasonable?
What form does this pushing take? How is it working? I ask because I've failed at this before; managers have great power to defend their habits and processes.
The Benefits and Risks of iOS Remote Hot Patching

> When applying without a CS background how tough are the technical interviews?

It's very rare, in my experience, to be asked a pure CS question in the interview. For some positions you may be silently expected to have some degree of familiarity with CS concepts, for other - especially entry-level - positions you don't need CS knowledge at all.

Being able to produce working and good looking code is all most companies want from fresh employees, I think. It's unfortunately still hard to find people with that skill, but if you have it you can learn everything else.

In short: apply everywhere, go to interviews and don't be afraid. You'll be pleasantly surprised (I hope).
Why I Love Twitter
Indeed. One gig I was at consisted of spending 9-5 doing nothing but meetings/groupwork/collaborating/email and dealing with bosses who kept asking why the coding wasn't getting done and behind schedule in one breath while dragging me into a 3hr+ meeting the next. Getting work done meant getting in before the boss, coding as much as possible until the boss showed up, waiting for the boss to leave, then coding again for another 2-3 hours to keep up. It does get ridiculous.

The problem is we've turned asynchronous communication and decision making into a near-real time short loop without considering the cognitive costs. Switching from my editor to email, parsing the 30 new messages, identifying the content to reply to and fabricating the correct reply costs the mental software model being used to guide the coding and it takes time to get it back into place. Switch in/out all day and your only bit of peace comes when the email writers go home.

> Disclaimer: I work at Red Hat.

The problem you seem to miss is that his arrogant antics _do_ reflect on Redhat, and reflect badly on Redhat. I for one will _never_ use anything from Redhat, nor pay Redhat any money for anything as long as Poettering and the rest of his crew (Seivers et. al.) are employeed by Redhat.

I am sure I am not alone in this viewpoint. As more realize that the problem is a problem at Redhat, eventually Redhat management will be forced to intervene.

PS as an employee, you should be pointing your upper management to these types of discussions, for the very reason that the actions of a loose cannon group is reflecting very badly on Redhat as a whole.

You know, if you spend a lot of time in the Tcl world, but don't really do much outside it, I'd encourage you to dive deep into another language for a couple of projects. I've noticed that the Tcl community is pretty insular, and I think it's to their detriment.

Not a dumb question at all. I've wondered the same thing myself. Say you're working full time and have $X/mo in fixed expenses. If you leave that job for freelancing, all of a sudden you're going to be making tons less than you were as a full-timer. How do you bridge that gap?

I loved this about Delphi! Around 2003 I needed a desktop app that essentially saved data to the registry, loaded a web-view, along with a few dialog windows for entering some data. Then I needed to put it on a LAN shared folder for everyone across the office to run, and it worked amazing.

A single EXE, no install, no libraries.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get my old copy of Delphi 5 to run properly on my computer anymore :(
Using deep learning to play dress up
Birth order has been correlated with the statistical likelihood of an individual being gay (i.e., the more older siblings you have, the more likely you are to be gay). This could definitely pose an evolutionary benefit to a stable population that lacks the natural resources to support a sudden boom of growth. Case in point being pandas which I just watched a show about last night that put forth pandas' low reproductive rate as ensuring low competition for their precious bamboo.

No geology here, just geomorphology. These are surface features, and the movement of water and soil happens at a rapid clip when humanity doesn't lock it in irons.

Natural rivers are usually not static features. The Mississippi is full of sediment, and strongly inclined towards major floods. In a natural landscape, those floods deposit mud every time the banks are breached, the banks are constantly degrading, the surrounding areas are swampy, flattened areas that get reshaped on a regular basis. A natural floodplain-river exists in a dynamic equilibrium, constantly shifting a tiny to medium-sized trickle of water around a vast, deep, soft bed of mud it deposited, only occasionally bumping into the hills (geological or aeolian features usually) bordering the floodplain.

What's strange and unnatural is that we could draw a line on a map, expect a river to be confined to this line, and reinforce that line with rock walls and soil levies; That we could dam major portions of the continental watershed in order to regularize water distribution; That we could drain swamps the size of states and turn them into cropland, or fill prairie or desert with canals to do the same.

We have cut off this area from the natural cycles of sedimentation, all but the most extreme "natural disasters" are prevented through intensive engineering began sometime in the 20th century. Because we needed to make spring planting. We replaced the silty mud that made the region such great cropland with chemical fertilizers & pesticides, and specialized farm equipment.
> 2) Say I'm that manager, and I want to improve but meetings and spreadsheets are all I know. What can I do?

Rethink what it means to be a manager. Your job is to eliminate barriers for your team and protect them from distractions. You shouldn't be one of the distractions.
