When he returned to the air field, Bob Hoover walked over to the man who had nearly caused his death and, according to the California Fullerton News-Tribune, said:
“There isn’t a man alive who hasn’t made a mistake. But I’m positive you’ll never make this mistake again. That’s why I want to make sure that you’re the only one to refuel my plane tomorrow. I won’t let anyone else on the field touch it.”

I tried this very briefly and thought "This seems useless." 1. It's annoying how they all change every time my cursor moves (though it'd be fine if I also did "scrolloff=999"), and g-4 doesn't work to jump up 4 lines.

Then I realized I could do y6k to pull the next six lines, rather than "told on, let me count/do the math on the line numbers". Took me another moment to realize "4j" is the way to move.

Because the comment I replied to said:

>The drive to employ cheaper, okay workers in action. Applies to software development as well.

That says "software development" and was the only reason for my comment. There are no "cheaper, okay" non-developers (as in, the 90%+ of the population who does not know how a loop or if statement works in any language) you can train in under a day to do "software development".

It was quite a bit more specific than "IT". There is no recipe or set of steps you can follow (as in, actual steps: 1, 2, 3, 4, and then you... ) to be a "software developer" if you aren't one, and a non-developer can't be hired for any dev role. People (including you) thought my comment was about baking; it's not, it's about software development.

If this isn't clear enough imagine an ad in a general newspaper: "Now hiring junior bakers. We will train you, no baking experience required. $18.50/hour." and imagine another ad "Now hiring junior developers. We will train you, no computer experience required. $18.50/hour."

The average barista in California for Starbucks makes $10/hour and might apply for either job. But the second job ad is ridiculous, it doesn't make any sense at all in a general newspaper and even if it's true, would entail weeks of training at a minimum.

Please try a bit harder to see my point.
The hardest thing for me when I was junior dev was simply being noticed. I'd rather someone be hard on me than to pretend I don't exist.

I agree that our leaders should have nuanced stances and be able to step back as you suggest. But you suggested that you were okay with you not having a position.

And again - in general, that's absolutely fine! But government leaders in the US are representatives of 'we the people'. If they cannot gauge what we feel then they have no way of representing us in such a way that aligns with our feelings.

That said I believe that your point of not taking a stance totally offers up much more calm and nuanced discussions than extreme stances on any side of an issue - and is very probably a very useful position!

How many companies need "basic code"? Many need much more than that. Your phrasing makes it seem like advancing beyond that point is just as easy, but it's not.

What happens when you need to debug, and you don't understand anything because you copy-pasted from a tutorial? How long would an employer be willing to wait while you google for the right tutorial telling you how to fix the problem?
We build a bigger, better telescope. Soon... "Observable universe contains 100x more galaxies than previously thought"

Downvote me all you want, I've seen the predicted amount of galaxies in the universe increase by factors of 10 and 100 time and time again over the years. This is not the first time our scientists' best guess has increased by a factor of 10 and it won't be the last.
I would say that it depends heavily on the feed rate, expected bit life, and what wood. Soft mahogany, basswood, poplar might be done on a machine like this. I would NOT expect good results from hard, flamed maple, or other heavy, dense woods.

My point isn't to question how to acquire them now, my question is to what effect it might have in 10 years. Or 20?
I don't like that the ropes do not meet at a point. For any given pair of lengths, you have not entirely constrained the position of the router bit. Rotation of the hanging cradle/holder will change the position of the bit. Gravity is nice, but it seems like this problem would be overcome if the ropes met at a point coincident with the bit - or as close to that as possible. That and a Z-axis would make this a pretty cool device that I could get behind.
Oh his behalf, I apologize. I literally started laughing at a junior's code once but in my defense, he had spent 3 years at Amazon.
You can do some decidedly hacky stuff with PHP if you are smart about it. To get background tasks to run in a popular forum software, the system would send an ajax request to the cron script. The cron script would return a 1x1 clear gif and "close" the connection. The script would then be run in "in the background". It would be easy to do the same thing there. curl another script and have it instantly return nothing while it continues to process.

Same here. First Linux desktop I ever used was running KDE 1. I kept using KDE for years, up to 3.x, because it was just incredibly integrated, fast, and functional. I cannot shake the feeling that it was engineered, or at least directed by a single competent person with a vision. I don't know if that's true, but KDE 1 to 3 had that "single mind" feeling, as opposed to "designed by committee."

After that, I moved to OS X for various reasons, until recently when the latest OS X 10.11 and 10.12 drifted so far away from the original OS X concept as to turn me away.

As a newly returned Linux user, I tried Gnome Shell in Ubuntu, but recycled its bytes in a couple of days. Then I tried the latest KDE 5, which was even worse, an ungodly monstrosity. I briefly toyed with the idea of using a supposedly modern fork of KDE 3 (http://www.trinitydesktop.org) but then settled for Cinnamon on Mint.

Still, KDE 3 was definitely some sort of pinnacle in desktop computing. Maybe the Trinity guys are not entirely crazy!
I logged into my hbonow just to find this clip you are referring to. I transcribed it for everyone to read for themselves because i think you are remembering this incorrectly

they were talking about how cops are legally allowed to shoot civilians, including a quote:

>fatal shootings can be considered legal even if they are unnecessary or disproportionate

and that police have a name for such killings as "Lawful but Awful"

JohnOliver:

>on top of all this, prosecutors can bring in expert witnesses who can present nearly any situation as a potential threat. Take dr Bill Lewinsky, who runs something called the force science institute; for years he has testified on behalf of police officers. here he is providing rationale for why it may be ok to shoot someone that has a knife

The clip starts, Bill Lewinsky talking:

>knives can actually be more dangerous than a gun, they dont have to be reloaded, they can be used at a close distance. And we know that a stab from a knife, or a stab or a cut can be extremely quick(Makes slashing motion)

John Oliver interrupts him there to make fun of his stabbing motion:

>come on, that is not the motion you make when stabbing someone, that is the motion you make when you are a teenage magician finishing a trick. 'is this your card?' but - but there is no doubt there is no doubt a knife is a dangerous weapon, but what if someone doesnt have a knife? Dr Lewinsky, could force still be necessary if someone is unarmed?

another clip of lewinsky plays,

>first of all its significant to know that unarmed does not mean theyre not dangerous. In fact, the fist may have been the first weapon that human beings used against each other. In fact ive measured strikes of human beings on other humans and the strikes can occur at a speed of 4 5 or 6 strikes in a second, and some of them (pounds fist into hand) really hard

Oliver then makes a rock paper scissors joke, and no more clips of lewinsky are played.

I dont think you could really call this John Oliver saying that knives are not dangerous, i dont see him joking about police being worried about people with knives - its clear that he thinks the use of deadly force is happening too often and with too little consequence for the officers, but thats the point of the segment.

Incidentally, it is interesting to see how many folks uniformly have the same misconception that dark matter is only about explaining galactic rotation curves. Obviously it's not at all surprising or troubling that laymen aren't experts, but the mistaken information is really far from random.
Potentially, there likely still be "dark matter" but it might we might not need e a new classification of dark matter.

We've known for a while now that there seems to be more galaxies out there, heck before the hubble went up we didn't even knew how much there is.

There are also indications that there is considerably more intergalactic material out there than we've suspected before.

Howeveer the problem is that "dark matter" is also needed on local scales, including our solar system; this is a good read http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2013/01/18/why-the-u...

So "dark matter" is needed to explain our current model of gravity both local and global scales; it is important to note tho that "dark matter" is a placeholder it doesn't necessarily have to be a new type of matter (e.g. AXIONs), some irregular mode for normal matter (e.g. WIMPs) or or it can be regular matter which isn't easily observable (e.g. MACHOs) or it can be also be any combination of the above, and things we haven't even considered yet.

Alternatively we might need to rethink our understanding of gravity, and of the existing forces in general, a good point to note is that gravity isn't a traditional force in the first place which already sets it apart from the bunch (it's a property of the distortion of spacetime, it also is only attractive unless dark energy is somehow a very low/zero value property of the gravitational field).

So gravity might not work like we think it does, it might be hiding another elementary force, or it might be that gravity on certain scales/conditions splits into multiple forces similarly to how the electroweak force works (at some point during/prior to the big bang all forces/fields were unified at least in theory).

Mainstream Physics have been stuck somewhat for a fairly long time on certain aspects, there is also quite a bit of misconception about what works and what doesn't for example most people think that quantum gravity doesn't work which it does, you can use it for everyday life and for many other things, you can't use it during the big bang (and shortly after) and it breaks down near very strong fields e.g. a singularity which is also the internal killswitch or "mathematical contradiction" embedded within general relativity where gravity and spacetime as we know it break down.
>BTW when has capitalism not been about profits?

At the era when industrialists took pride in their creations.

E.g. to the point to refuse to put out something that they know is subpar or to sweat the details beyond what the ignorant layman will immediately appreciate -- even if those things means reduced profit margins.

Of course that presupposes companies that listen to people and their vision, not shareholders screaming to maximize value.

The current attitude that its all about the profits is why we can't have nice things...
Protip: YouTube has a speed setting. Just click the little cogwheel thing and it should be there. I usually use it to bump up slow talks a bit, but I'm assuming it works just as well to slow things down.

I wish my first development job was like this place. Instead there was a blame culture and I'd get told off when I made mistakes, eventually getting fired for not progressing quick enough.

It's now 4 years since I was fired from that job and I'm still in development, despite that incident nearly causing me to decide it wasn't for me.

I was extremely happy to read this post, it gives me hope. I try and take a similar approach when working with newer developers, or those that are inexperienced in areas.

The most important thing I learnt: you're not your code. Whatever you're writing today will be changed tomorrow, or even thrown away in a week. Some PM will realize that they don't want it, or they want something different, and that's OK. You're writing code to solve a problem, not to write code.

Also, "why not X?". It puts the assumption up front that the programmer has already thought it through, which is often the case.
Actually that kind of backlash isn't a problem in a machine built like this. The tension of the chain against the sprocket is always pulling in the same direction around the sprocket. Even when the sprocket reverses direction, the chain is pulling the same way and staying tight to the same side of the teeth it was on.
Well, the problem here is apparently one of human relations. You are absolutely, 100% remiss to expect that, when you state "it is tempting to draw that conclusion," that you are actually stopping short of drawing that conclusion. It's as bad a communication mistake as expecting Quicksort to perform well in all cases is - which is to say it simply does not conform to reality.

Raising the possibility of the accusation and defining the basis for raising the accusation are, for almost all intents and purposes, exactly the same as simple raising the accusation, especially in an internet forum, where nuance, body language, and tone are absent.

Thus, you really didn't avoid actually disparaging or discrediting this person there - instead, you attempted it via an obtuse use of a 'sneaky' method, and you bear deserved downvotes for doing so. If that was not your intent, you may look on this experience as a bug - the language you used did not communicate your intent to your discussion partners. It's almost always valuable to gain a deeper understanding of the functions you're using, though, whether they're from English or C++! Have a great day, and talk to you some other time! :)

The closest thing to a native Clojure is Pixie[1]. As the authors note, it's a "Clojure inspired lisp", not a "Clojure Dialect".

>Pixie implements its own virtual machine. It does not run on the JVM, CLR or Python VM. It implements its own bytecode, has its own GC and JIT. And it's small. Currently the interpreter, JIT, GC, and stdlib clock in at about 10.3MB once compiled down to an executable.

I was subjected to this "Socratic" type of code review when I was younger and I didn't like it. I felt like I had to worry about what I thought the reviewer might be thinking as well as what was actually going wrong with the code.

I think just saying what you think but with a bit of humility and the attitude that you need to justify yourself is best. Especially since even the best seniors often get hung up on pointless crap during code reviews.

From a strategic point of view, what's the difference between building on Mars and building it in orbit?

Do you commit to obliterating them the second they start moving it to Earth?
Mentoring is hard. It makes me question everything that I know, and worry about what this guy's code will look like in a year if I criticise this, or praise that. I wish there was some way we could all just work together, for real, in real time.

I miss construction. Back then, I could just tell someone "Hey! You! Don't fuck that up, I'm pouring concrete around it tomorrow!" And we would still be cool at lunch break.
Maybe I have just had bad experiences but a lot of developers do this thing where they answer a question with a snarky question. Sometimes it's annoying to be asked basic questions but behaving in a condescending way lends to people not asking questions at all and not communicating issues. It doesn't matter if the person is Jr. or Sr. I've seen good capable Sr. developers miss stories because they would rather be silent and struggle trying to research and figure something out instead of asking questions due to the snarky competitive nature of the team.
At my last company I became the default mentor of a non Jr. team member because his real mentor, who was also my mentor, was so condescending the guy was terrified to approach him. Having been in his shoes I had no issue repeatedly helping him get his build working or helping him understand the undocumented proprietary framework etc. A little empathy goes a long way
This goes for everyone on your team, not just junior devs.
It's certainly a little bit painful, but that's only because these things are brand new. These tools let you create applications most comparable to native apps, and could you imagine developing for iOS or Android without a Xcode or Android Studio?
