1. Calling people "irrational single-interest zealots" hardly constitutes critical thought.

2. If not rhetoric, then what do you base your "criticism" upon? What evidence demonstrates to the rest of us that "they" are irrational single-interest zealots? (I'm particularly curious to see what kind of evidence proves any particular human irrational or zealous)

3. Who, exactly, are "they"?
Wonderful read. Your story could be mine. I completely understand all the things you’re saying. I know what it feels like to have two small kids, a job, a mortgage, having to get up at night to feed a baby and dreaming of having your own succesful business. I have been developing my own sites for the last decade, without ever being really succesful (in terms of money). I’ve been working at my own computer from eight in the evening until I can’t keep my eyes open. Almost every night, and many saturdays and sundays. Sometimes in the middle of the night, when I can’t sleep (which happenes quite often :-).

Even though the lack of succes is at times wildly dissapointing, especially when seeing friends having good academic careers (a path I could have chosen), and even though I feel tired at almost any moment of any day, I’m not complaining. Not once. I cannot help but go on with the next application, and the next and the next. It’s my dream, and one day I will succeed.

I currently have two things in the pipeline, for which I have the same high hopes again - even though the odds are against me :-)

I hope you do well. Instead of just talking about the things you could do (like many people), you act. And you work long days. You deserve your succes, and I hope you will have your deserved succes one day, hopefully just as me.

Ah, and perhaps most importantly: I found your post to be very motivational. Keep it up!

Hey. Jason Goldberg here.
Do I think Citibank or Citigroup is a homophobic malicious company? No.
Do I think some compliance officer is a moron who made a really stupid decision? Yes.
Three hours of trying to sort this out provided even more comedic insanity than I even revealed on the blog post. Including a bank manager who didn't want to talk about this because she was uncomfortable talking about the content of our blog over a recorded phone conversation.
Oh, and we've learned that the account was marked to be a cancelled by said compliance officer for this "objectionable content." wtf.

All we know so far is that we finally got someone to lift the block on the account, but that the best she could promise is another review of the situation today.

insanity.
For six dollars, Amazon has an eight(!) hour Chopin collection for download -- 99 DRM-free MP3's, tracks vary from 192-256kbps according to one review. I bought it a while back (when it was on sale even cheaper) -- worth your while.

You can check out track samples from all tracks, read reviews and/or buy it here (this link only good for US):

http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Chopin-Masterpieces-Amazon-E...

Amazons for other countries should have it as well (e.g. UK (costs six pounds): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-Chopin-Masterpieces-Amazon...
Germany (3 Euros): http://www.amazon.de/Essential-Chopin-Masterpieces-Amazon-Ex... )

(Note: the track 55 problem mentioned in one review was fixed. Also note, you'll need to use Amazon's downloader, which installs in seconds--available for Windows, Mac and apparently they now have a Linux version too--you should be prompted; if not: http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd.html).
This story is obviously false rumor. Feel free to mod me back up in 12 hours when this is official.
It would be interesting to port Emily Howell to CUDA and copyright the billions of "promising" songs generated; thereby establishing something of copyright infringement troll corporation.

(Strictly as a thought experiment, of course, more in an attempt fix copyright than to break it.)

On the one hand, the function space is unfathomably huge; on the other, the "stereotypical" punk song is written using various permutations of only 3 chords.

Really it makes me question how to reconcile the difference between "discovering" and "creating" music. It would appear one can do both. Though can one imbue discovery with emotion as one can creation?
The funny thing is that doing so, now even more websites are talking about the matter, exposing MS bad behaviour regarding DMCA and publishing the document for everybody to read.

Parenthetical, but I really like the use of -webkit-transition in the Fabulis blog's stylesheet. I wasn't even aware of this extension to CSS, so I fruitlessly searched to find the javascript that was making it happen, until I finally got the idea to check the CSS. Try resizing the page in Safari, Chrome, or Webkit (cmd-plus or cmd-minus) and notice what happens with the links.

People don't have an agenda against git — it simply doesn't work for them. It's not the holy grail of DVCS', and neither are Hg or bzr; different tools for different people.

Where are you getting your performance results from? The footnote from Google's article[1] on choosing between Mercurial and git states that Hg was faster both over HTTP and when compared to git's wire protocol. But I'm willing to admit those numbers may be old, so is there a newer published benchmark anywhere?

I think you need to find something beyond the thought of "success" to drive you. Ambition is good, but it sounds like its having a demotivational aspect in your case because you aren't finding the right ideas and your situational isn't ideal. But reproducible success is about execution, and you can't learn to execute without practice, so whatever you do you need to get as many reps in as possible. Your breakthrough may not come for years (or ever, frankly), but by becoming really good at what you do you will increase the chances of long-term success geometrically. And remember, you don't need to do glamorous things to improve your skills, instead you need to learn as much as you can, figure out where your talents lie, and then (eventually) figure out how to apply this to a market.

Also, not wanting to work for other people may be a detriment, because you are unlikely to be able to attract the best people to your company if you are not already at the top of your field. The experience of working with the best people will potentially teach you much more than trying to go it alone with a cast of B players.

Probably the most important thing about quitting alcohol, or at least cutting back, is to determine which members of your social group are intentionally or unintentionally fueling the addiction. I've noticed a disturbing trend with alcoholics where they seem to adopt more serious alcoholics into their social group as a tool to justify their own comparatively tame alcoholism. I like to have a few drinks but man, Johnny... that guy is a REAL alcoholic. Let's buy him some drinks and watch him fall down! Anyone who gets uncomfortable or defensive over another person quitting any addiction is a dangerous influence. If they can't accept you as a non-drinker then you need to be willing to cut them loose.
How does this compare with parenscript?
Yes, that would be interesting. I wonder how much this depends on how much "low level" work one has to do though? In the article he talked about the programmers not being that familiar with Django yet. It depends of course a lot on what you are building, but in our development team we find that we don't touch Python that often and mostly build at the Django layer.

Clay Shirky "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable"... the invention of the internet has destroyed the cultural standard bearer's authority (NYT, MSM, etc) just like the invention of the printing press destroyed the Catholic Church's authority. It is impossible to say how it will play out because no one knows what institutions will form to replace the old institutions, i.e., we are in the early stages of the greatest social/cultural revolution in the history of western civ. Most people don't seem to grasp the import of Shirky's theme, they think its about the death of the newspapers.

Republic Day (India)
Can't you let us mere mortals catch our glimpse of the magical forces the demigods of physics deal with in peace!
In my view, the article is backwards.

Let me ask a very honest question: what does one actually have to gain, personally, from making a fundamental contribution to physics? Consider that it takes at least a decade for prizes to be distributed. So at best, you are looking at a cushy professorship at a nice University for your efforts, and maybe - if you are lucky - in your forties someone will send you a plaque and a modest check for your efforts.

Wouldn't any rational young man prefer something a little more tangible for a decade of his youth? Especially given the accessibility of such rewards in other fields?

Hence the fundamental issue addressed in the article is not actually addressed at all: the young and brilliant are simply not interested - and for good reason (IMHO).

Let me add one more thing. Compared to a century ago, the young physicist has much more to learn before he even has the knowledge to make fundamental contributions, hence the prospects starting out are much more daunting.

To continue the metaphor, you've got two choices: write a script, or buy the rights to a script that excites you.

It's good that you're excited by the prospect of selling the product/project, and not by the code itself. Projects that are driven by a love of the underlying technology rarely solve other people's problems effectively, and that's what it's all about.

Don't focus too much on "the promise of welfare and respect" or wanting to "make a lot of money and be wealthy"-- it's easy to get too self-involved that way. The trick is to focus outwards-- to identify a problem that some group of people are having, and find a way to solve it for them. Relieve the suffering of others-- that's the surest way to gain welfare and respect.

You say you've filtered over 50 ideas. That's a good start. You might have to go through 500, though. That's the way it goes, sometimes. Fortunately for you, there's a lot of suffering out there, calling out for solutions.

From where I sit, it's not such a complicated puzzle at all, really. It's a pretty straightforward puzzle. That doesn't make it easy, of course. But you didn't think it would be, did you?

While I find Joel's articles interesting and often enlightening, I don't think "someone" needs to treat them as the Word From On High of software development or program management.

Anyway, that's still not impossible to solve. After the design phase, reward for every module shipped, then deduct points for every bug reported by users. If the programmer is able to hide bugs such that they never manifest in production, I say all power to him.

Thanks for popping in. Something does not add up at all, and I would be inclined to think at the bank's end.

Which type of an account, checking/savings/loan/? Were they closing it, closing a card, freezing it?

A bank manager/supervisor should be bending over backwards to rectify the situation if one of their employees has been stupid enough to close an account over a personal moral issue. As we all probably know, a bank can terminate an account at any time for any reason - except as laws (such as anti-discrimination and the various banking regulations) otherwise dictate.

The bank must first explain whether the closure is, in their view, lawful and complying with their own regulations. If they maintain this is the case, they must explain to you the criteria for "objectionable content" and why presence of such a non-banking-related issue is considered grounds for termination, and why it is not discriminatory (e.g. if the issue is something like a non-profit account for a for-profit company.)

If they acknowledge it was an error, YMMV but I personally would like to be briefed on how they address the issue, both with the employee in question and ensuring something similar does not occur in the future; preferrably by a senior VP. It is that severe.
There are barriers, and it sucks that people can't do that. I'd be overjoyed if we had full freedom of movement across borders.

That's what I mean; living in Europe you think about visas so rarely, despite crossing borders and looking at jobs overseas, that the whole idea begins to look archaic and paranoid.
A year is a long time. If it took a year to comprehend all the laws that you might be breaking, you're guaranteed to at least break some of them.

I don't see what extra you need. Sure, if you want ready made widgets/UI effects, then go use one of those funky js libraries the kool kids use. I think one of the best things about javascript is that you can do things a ton of different ways, there is no right or wrong way to do OO, do it whichever way makes most sense.

On the question of modularization/imports, I don't see an issue really, it's simple enough to include using script tags, and set your build/deploy script to remove those and combine/minify to a single js.

Seems like a rant about how flexible and diverse javascript is, and how that's somehow a bad thing.
