That's the problem with these animations: none of them have anything to do with movement in the real world, or even any connection to the meaning of the hamburger icon itself.

When you click the icon, you aren't thinking "I want to turn the icon into a big X." Instead, you're thinking "I want to see the menu." An animation that turns the hamburger into a big X in a flashy way has nothing to do with the goal you had in mind when clicking it. It's just a distraction.

Unfortunately, many designers are drawn toward flashy, distracting, irrelevant animations like this.

A good example is Office 2016 for OSX. It has a bunch of new animations, including two that are especially bad:

1) When you click a cell, it doesn't just highlight the cell like any other spreadsheet. It animates the outline cursor from the previously selected cell to the new one. But when you click on a cell, that very cell you're clicking on is where your attention is focused. You're done with the previously selected cell and no longer thinking about it. The animation from the old cell forcibly draws your attention back to the old cell, the one you're no longer interested in.

2) When you click one of the Ribbon headings, the entire new ribbon does a little sideways animation before settling into place. The animation goes either to the left or right, depending on the relative positions of the previously selected ribbon heading and the new one. It's as if they were trying to give the appearance that the ribbon is one big long continuous strip and the animation shows the correct part of the strip sliding into place - but they only show the very last part of that movement. This animation has nothing to do with what you wanted to do when you clicked the ribbon heading. It's very distracting and disorienting.

There is a bit of good news for Excel users. Microsoft is going to provide an option to turn off these animations, after a request to remove them attracted over 2000 votes:

https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304933-excel-for-mac/sugg...

Of course, making it an option means that most Excel users will never find that option and will just live with the distracting animations.

Actually, it's other way around - amps matter a great deal.

I agree about the quality of those few pitches I watched. But if you notice the red vs green monetary amount next to each video - all of them except one were rejected. So you can skip and watch only the green ones, I'd assume, to see the decent pitches.

> War can certainly accelerate and mobilize what's already there but I find the argument that it creates unconvincing.

The problem with war-driven progress is that it's incidental. In War you are focusing on the War Machine, on destroying as much as you can both in human lives and resources.

Obviously you are bound to make discoveries that will be useful in other fields later on as well.

But to me it sounds very wrong on a ethical basis to justify that what we have today in terms of tech is a direct by-product of war. Innovation/Science also occurs outside of the spectrum of war, and it is very reductive to say that War advances Science as a whole.

On top of that, let's not forget that the scientists and technologists involved in the War Machine could have spent their time and lives doing something else and we will never know what other courses innovation could have taken.
Thats fine but there are many industries where you can't or wont store your files with a third party and that should be the consumer's decision.
I think that's a spurious analogy. The public has no duty to build roads such as to enable your preferred suicide technique. The public has no right to tell you how many hours you can work or not. A job is a free exchange between two parties.

Historical Laundry Conundrum – Finding a Home for Shirts
Practicing (and successfully remediating) this scenario is required for PADI OWD certification. My instructor removed our masks and breathing gear one at a time. We had to reposition the mouthpiece, fetch the mask, perform X number of breaths without a mask, put the mask back on and clear it all while keeping calm and staying level. Doing it in a lake at ~ 20f depth wasn't much more hostile than doing it in a pool. However I wouldn't want to lose my mask during a drift dive, as it could very well be gone quite fast.

Why is it essential that anything is inlined? Maybe if the compiler isn't inlining it had a good reason for that? Maybe it has some understanding of the trade off between specialisation and code size for these particular functions which you don't.
As someone trying to learn/experiment with Rust, the syntax is pretty complex. Now granted it comes with some benefits, and I realise there are a limited number of characters available to use (at least that everyone in the world has on their keyboards), but stuff like the lifetime char ' are IMO way too easy to mistake when quickly glancing at code for strings.

But maybe that's just me.

I like to put things into perspective: their revenue back then was around 40B a year, so this represented about a 0.3/40= 0.75% increase in revenue. Not shabby at all, especially because their web business wasn't anywhere close to 100% of their business.

Simply put "The FBI and other law enforcement agents want to make it easier for many criminals to commit many new crimes for the sake of solving a few crimes already committed"

Just like what happened when Bush got the job? Obama won the Nobel peace prize before he was president because people believed so strongly that the problem was Bush. "If we just get a sensible president in, he will fix everything!"

American politics goes from yin to yang every 8 years because that's was people expect. The media polarizes every thing. Your average person laps it up. "Those damn conservatives/liberals are ruining everything. How can they be so stupid/naive?". We must make America great. We must make America whole. :-P

People believe that it is their duty to vote: we must keep the democrats/republicans out of office! Or you could waste your vote on someone who can't win. As a measure of protest, perhaps. Or maybe if they did win once... then you would have 3 parties. Then 2 would gang up on 1. Or the third will split the vote.

If you wish to stop war, don't get sidetracked on people. That's how you will be defeated, because it's easy to swap people around like a game of 3 card monty. Concentrate on the issue, not on people, parties or politics. Don't simply cast a vote and say, "Well, I tried". That's how you lose.
They don't own the current code, but all contributions are based on diffs on the original code. The contributors own their changes, but not the code as a whole. I don't believe that it's ever been tested in court how many incremental changes are enough to remove the original copyright owners' copyright claims. Especially when it comes to something like ZFS where there are data structures that were designed a long time ago and they must be kept (as well as the code for handling them) for backwards compatibility essentially indefinitely.

What is your motivation for saying something like this? You can't possibly believe that LSD and DXM create a similar experience.

Everyone should be careful with DXM. Even after extracting the acetaminophen, noxious dyes, and stimulants that sometimes accompany DXM in cough syrup, it can make you very, very sick. I took around 1000 mg as a stupid teenager and violently puked bile with blood streaming out of my nose, burst thousands of blood vessels around my eyes and on my face, and then fell down a full flight of stairs. Not a great day, and not a great first drug experience.
I don't know about the second part of your argument, where you claim you don't need any linguistic reasoning to see that analogy needs logic (I'm personally not convinced). However, your argument about the connection-in the context you are putting it in-of the words logic and analogy is absolutely false.

Αναλογία means the comparative association of two (antithetical) objects in quantity, size, etc.

Λογική means to reason with a basis in reality.

I am not sure about in which way it worked, but in some Plato writings (thousands of years ago), there were clear scenarios on population control. So perhaps kings have been advised to send the youth to war for this purpose.
You have a good point, especially for low skill jobs that people often don't have the luxury of walking away from, because they need the money to pay the rent and put food on the table. I find myself increasingly favoring a basic income (but only along with abolishing the bulk of the regulatory and welfare state), which I think would address the concerns that you raise. No one would be compelled to stay in a job by hunger, only ambition.
And I believe a huge factor is the fact that marijuana is illegal, so you cross an important legal threshold

There's a formal statement of that, essentially an analogue of Amdahl's Law. As you optimise labour in certain parts of the economy, you're left with the bits that cannot have their productivity increased.

Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called or where I read it. Good odds it's in Robert Gordon's new book (The Rise and Fall of American Growth) or related discussion. Or somewhere in William Ophuls' Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity discussing technology, or Carlotta Perez's Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital.

Light reading.…
These are not actual declarations of war against sovereign nations, and that's the problem. There are numerous other problems that follow from that. But, basically, Congress opened the door to the Executive starting a war on their own. It's not clear that the conditions for going from diplomacy to war laid out in these resolutions were actually met, but once a war was started, Congress lacked the balls to reign in the Executive by refusing to fund an undeclared war. And so on into the abyss.

As noted in other posts, Congress is writing even more squishy and open ended "resolutions" regarding ISIS. I'm not trying to be pedantic or legalistic about declaring war. But, in practice, abandoning that rigor appears to have been disastrous.

Maybe it's just me, but I associate animations with trying to hide latency and slowness by giving me a little eye candy while I wait. For that reason I see the last one as mark of quality, it's signaling that there is no latency to cover up.
Specific to Clipper, the owner of the technology keeps enough money around to keep rebuilding the crazy gearboxes for current owners, while other spares can often be obtained directly from the actual component manufacturers. Third party service organizations like EDF Services or UpWind keep them running for you, or you can hire your own techs.

Depending on the contract the relevant design information may also put in escrow in the event the manufacturer goes under and spares are no longer available.

For comparison, Zond and US Windpower died more than a decade ago but the owners are still keeping the machines going. It can be a challenge but it's not the end of the world.

There are laws that protect people against self-incrimination in most countries, so that analogy doesn't work, but if a doctor can uniquely perform a procedure that can help an investigation because of some relation to the person under investigation, she can be compelled to perform that procedure in most countries, including the US.
Rust doesnt have objects, but otherwise is very compelling. I still use C++ but I'm also looking forward to the day (soon) where I can use Rust instead for many projects. With more languages coming to LLVM I expect there will be other solutions as well.

C++ took years until it got a ranged for loop. It was so important you had frameworks like Qt providing their own preprocessor to support this functionality. C++ is a language that has a lot of baggage to be backwards compatible and incorporates multiple turing complete languages. When was the last time functionality was removed from C++ to support a better design?

Why the hell do we still have header files with raw includes? That's about as sophisticated as copy and paste. The macro preprocessor is stuck in the 70s, probably because the C++ grammar is so hard to parse to write something better. Most template metaprogramming outside of generics is garbage that could be replaced with a better preprocessor and usually the result of premature optimization or avoiding deficiencies in the language and creates custom ad-hoc knowledge that isn't easily transferred to other programmers.

Rust has a better preprocessor, cleaner design, no includes, and generics without template metaprogramming. I shouldn't have to mention it but it has things that most modern languages do like ranged for loops, flexible switch/match statements, clojures, and automatic type inference. It doesnt have virtual methods, template metaprogramming, or exception handling.

If you're curious, I'd recommend flipping through the syntax guide, there are a lot of well designed concepts:

We aggregate payments to publishers. I recommend you read just the material at https://brave.com/ including the FAQ and blog posts.

We strive to remove all cognitive overhead rightly decried in explicit micropayment systems. Users get a 15% revshare by default. It is used to auto-micropay their top 20 sites up to low monthly maximum or user wallet balance, whichever is smaller -- again by default. (All parameters will be adjustable, but the defaults will be tuned to drain the wallet each month unless the user intervenes.)

Users get notified in time to revoke any micropayments they don't want to make, but otherwise they don't have to think or intervene.

Thanks nl for your thoughtful feedback! I'll follow up to all your reply threads here.

I think you pointed out my negligence in not dealing with "communication problems" on my team, "weak leadership" for not putting my foot down (not prioritizing the backlog of the project and thus making the project delivery date late), avoiding morning standup's completely instead adapting and adjusting a good process on the fly (ensuring that everyone during their updates are succinct); and finally just my plain ignorance in what is the simple distinction between Scrum and Agile is, all points duly noted :) (And being honest, I don't agree with 100% of your criticism; but I do take to heart all of them and will try to work on improve on those specific things you brought up in terms of project management skills in the future!)

Although I think we disagree on what is a good project management methodology for software, I think at least we can agree on the fact that having a proper lead to run the project irrespective of the project methodology is really important.

That's illegal as hell in Nevada, and I would assume in most jurisdictions in the US that permit casino gambling. The machines are very, very carefully engineered to give exactly the odds reported to the regulator. If you don't, that's a corporate death sentence; if Nevada refuses to certify your machines you can't sell them anywhere.

The difficulty of certifying a machine / game / etc is so high that the industry mostly uses a few basic games which are proven (both from a legal and operational perspective) and then reskins them endlessly to keep players coming back. Vampires were in for the last few years, apparently, thanks to Twilight. (Anecdata based on walking through a few casinos while in town for Microconf. It's vampires, TV shows appealing to older Americans, and a lot of very very obviously US-company-attempts-to-do-China games.)
