I was running with derefr's suggestion that it was intentional targeting.

Intentionally try to send a message to a demographic by placing Wall-E in their natural path would be a decision made by the corporation well above the level of Pixar's animators. That body would almost certainly be the same one that green-lit the avalanche of Cheap Plastic Crap.

So, even if they believed Pixar's message, and were intentionally trying to preach to those at-risk, they were saying "you should learn from Wall-E" (do as I say) while simultaneously saying "also, buy this plastic crap" (not as I do).
The general sentiment is correct (although I'd love to know if it's good business for consultants) but I'm not sure his example is good. The two leading mail handlers I know of are CampaignMonitor.com and MailChimp.com and both of them are pretty open about their costs.

There are a number of facts that I can almost guarantee that anyone not outraged probably aren't aware of - I will list only a few because anyone who doesn't do research before posting or reading posts for opinions is kind of hopeless.

1. Students were required to use these laptops for their coursework - in class and at home. No laptop - no going to class.

2. Despite the software being designed to track stolen property. The school district pursued a student for eating candy (drug suspicion) while is laptop had not been stolen. The software company has come out against the school and disabled the functionality the school used.

3. There's a video on youtube showing a systems administrator messing with the students on the laptops while in school (reading over their shoulders and what not). Keep in mind these are mandatory for classes.

Its not about blame. Its about taking risks and suffering the consequences.

When you pick a vendor, a bank or insurance company, there's a chance that entity will fail. You're the one who has to judge that. It's not the government's job to protect you from failing to do that, especially when others took the time to assess the vendor and decided to use a more stable, smarter company.

And its certainly not the job of government to take the consequences from those that misjudged their bank or insurance company and assign those consequences to others that had nothing to do with the decision.

I am not "damning the consequences". The consequences are unavoidable. Its just a question of who should pay for them. Do we leave the consequences with those making the decisions that led to them? Or do we dump them off on everybody else?

But if you have hundreds of developers, and you have a dynamic trust network (I trust some people, they trust others, and we all tend to trust people more or less depending on what they work on), the CVS model is absolutely HORRID. It just doesn't work.

I can count on one hand the number of projects described by that sentence. No surprise, the Linux kernel is one of them. Linus built a tool to satisfy his needs. But most developers work in smaller groups, and these groups have explicit trust. Working at a company, the trust network isn't dynamic. Even in large open source projects, most of the commits are by a handful of individuals. It's not a big deal if the occasional one-time contributor e-mails a patch.

But most of my gripes with git don't have to do with its ideas. Although it's distributed revision control, in my experience everyone designates one repo as authoritative. Like centralized RVCs, certain users are explicitly granted write access to said authoritative repo. So git ends up working like an svn repo with a ton of branches.

My complaints about git have to do with its interface. Coming from svn, git is very frustrating to use. Certain benign commands in svn will erase your data in git-land. For example, "git checkout filename" is the equivalent of "svn revert filename"; it erases any uncommitted changes. Of course, git has a revert command as well, but it doesn't behave like other RVCs. Git checkout can bite you if you have a branch with the same name as a file or directory in your source tree.

My biggest annoyance is if I accidentally commit and push something. Usually it's when I forget which branch I've checked out. Undoing a commit/push means rebasing or resetting, and that's where git drives me insane. I have used subversion, CVS, and even Visual SourceSafe, but only in git have I lost previous commits. Again with the misleading terminology. Why call them commits if you can destroy them with a single command?

Do hire a lawyer. I have spoken to many patent examiners and they agree that applications not written by professionals are very difficult to work with. You might still get a patent granted, but your claims won't necessarily have the optimum scope. The language is extraordinarily difficult to learn and it will take you an enormous amount of time to become competent - time you could spend more profitably elsewhere.

I would also recommend you get a search done before you go through the whole process of trying to get a patent, so you can see whether what you are trying to patent exists before you go through all the work (and cost) of getting an application written.

Also, beware: the patent gives you nothing unless you are willing to defend it. Seriously. If someone violates your patent you will need to sue them to get them to stop. And you'll need a lawyer for that too.

The Great EPiServer rant
I think it can be the case if people have a perception that it's supposed to be a computationally intensive task. It's kind of a standard joke in AI circles that if you have a demo coming up, one way to make your dumb system seem smarter is to make sure it takes a bunch of time and displays diagnostic messages while doing so. Ideal is to slap a fancy sci-fi-movie front end on it that displays both nice graphics (for flashiness) and a console window spewing a bunch of technical garbage (for scientificness).

Of course, there are some legitimate reasons people might come away with the impression that a system like that is smarter, mainly that they have more idea what it's actually doing, because it was slowed down and visualized in a way that let them see it operate (instead of just spitting out the solution).

The somewhat less legitimate reason is that there are a certain group of people really enamored with high-end computing, and so if your thing runs in 2 seconds on a desktop, they assume it must suck, because why weren't you doing something fancier that needed 30 minutes on a huge cluster?

False. (Or at least willfully misleading.)

It is true that Hussein did use chemical weapons, with a wink and a nod from the Reagan administration, against Kurdish civilians in the Iran-Iraq war. However, in this context, the question of whether Hussein "had weapons of mass destruction" is clearly a question of whether he had them leading up to the 2003 US-led invasion, which, to the best of anybody's knowledge, he did not. After the invasion the Iraq Survey Group concluded that Iraq had destroyed all major stockpiles of WMDs and had completely ceased production in 1991.

An increasing number of revisionist apologists are intentionally conflating whether Hussein ever had chemical weapons, and whether he had them in 2003, which was the (ostensible) justification for the war. Let's not let such slimy rhetorical tactics slide.

I had another sentence in my post that I edited out that was a caveat to Mercurial: at least it's possible to get the 'git revert' behavior with hg without implementing it yourself from a patch-series dump.

To me, revert means "stage a new commit that reverts this commit in the history as if it never existed".

When I first used svn, I really expected 'revert' to mean "revert this commit". I also 'intuitively' expected it to have something like git's index, and ended up just working around that by just laboriously creating my own set of patches to feed it in another checkout. Not everyone's mental models line up — we are both free to consider one another as a moron (see also: politics, religion).
It's possible that someone else stole it and uploaded to a stock photo site trying to pass it off as their own work.
I totally forgot about Mercurial, probably because I have no bad experiences associated with it. I haven't used it much, but the times I have used it have been forgetful. I think that's a good thing when it comes to revision control.

> Undoing a commit/push means rebasing or resetting, and that's where git drives me insane.

To look on the bright side first, Git is the only(+) DVCS in which you can clean up these kinds of mistakes without cluttering the revision history with "revert" and "oops sorry" changesets. :)

> I have used subversion, CVS, and even Visual SourceSafe, but only in git have I lost previous commits. Again with the misleading terminology. Why call them commits if you can destroy them with a single command?

The changesets are not really destroyed; you have just redeclared the official revision history not to include them, so they aren't visible. The changesets are still alive within the database until the garbage collector picks them up at a later date (then they will be destroyed), and you can access them via looking up the revision ID in the revision log (or sometimes just by scrolling up the terminal window). Once you have the revision ID, you can tag it (or declare it a new branch) so you don't lose it until you're done with the cleanup. Then you can cherry-pick, rebase, merge or do whatever you want to fix the erroneous commit.

This bit of Git causes a lot of headache among new Git users for the first few weeks (me included), since you need to understand the underlying database and really toy around with it a lot to understand how to do stuff like this properly. Though once I finally got it, Git replaced HG as my favourite VCS.

(+) That I know of at least. :) HG supports a "rollback" command, but that only covers one changeset, and you can't really use it if you have pushed your changeset or if it has been pulled by somebody else.
GS needed a bail-out. Pleae read Too Big To Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin, or any other detailed book about the financial crisis, and you will learn that GS had massive trust issues in the market. The 'bail-out' for GS got done primarily for the supposed trust in the stability and balance sheets of financial institutions it signaled - it was mostly for bridge financing (disregarding banks who actually were in deep shit all along, which GS was not one of). Yes, the exact details of the bail-out were shoved down their throat. Question being if GS would have made it at all if Treasury had waited any longer.
Am I the only person here who hates htop? I just can't get used to it. The lack of labels and relying on color coding to convey information just obfuscates things for me. I still use top for that reason.
That's true, and I think it is an improvement when it comes to the ability to do local forks. But most of the big fights I've seen in CVS/SVN-based projects ultimately come down to who controls mainline, and a DVCS doesn't solve that problem at all. If anything, it makes it easier to put even more politics on top of it, where instead of having a fight over getting into the single repository, you now have to navigate whole cascading set of repositories (e.g. Linus doesn't generally pull directly from you, so you have to deal with sub-gatekeepers before you get to the main gatekeeper).

I suspect Linus likes the approach not because it has no politics, but because it encourages the politics that match the way he'd like to manage the Linux kernel development, with this style of hierarchical, cascading commit approval, which is pretty hard to set up in CVS (though Mozilla's sort of grafted it on via their Bugzilla, which keeps track of cascading approvals of patches based on who owns which areas and sub-areas). Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, it's just different (and for a project as large as Linux, probably necessary).
I've only seen two of his interviews so far (Alexis Ohanian and Paul Graham), but I had the exact same reaction. After a nice interview I was actually interested in, there's this abrupt change into what felt like an attention grab.

There's nothing wrong with asking the question, IMO, but I don't think it needs to be part of the public broadcast / streaming replay. That sort of thing should be done "offline" and regular viewers should simply notice an improvement in style as time goes on.

That said, I have a lot of respect for what Andrew does. As someone who has had actual panic attacks in college when faced with small group presentations, watching someone conduct an interview with the caliber of guests he attracts is a very impressive feat.

I'm quite sure he'll find a style that works for him soon (if he hasn't already - as I said, I believe I've only seen two of his interviews), but for now there is definite room for improvement.
