It all depends on the corporate culture. When I worked in the nuclear industry, the culture was very sociopathic. New engineers were 4 to a cubicle. It was "your fault" if a 40- or 80-hour task was not completed on time because your manager let it sit on his desk for two weeks and gave it to you on the day of the deadline.

I've also worked in places where engineers get the offices with windows, there are lunchtime tech talks, and managers try their best to prioritize work and then "get out of your way".

So it all depends. The people who email Scott Adams (of Dilbert) their workplace horror stories are not [all] making them up. A "good" corporate culture in America is still atypical, IMHO.
Likewise, although I've never been too sure how much of that comes from VS's auto-magic everything and refactoring tools.
I haven't really used any of the Java IDEs out there, but I thought I'd mention that you probably mean VS2008 ;)

As for Visual Studio, its extensibility model might not be "awesome", but that is definitely changed for the better in VS2010, and for the "rest of us", jetbrains has some pretty decent products.
You could cut that T1 expense by quite a bit using long-haul wifi.
The author completely invalidates this statement with the previous, "Now, I must say that I haven't ever used C#, so I don't know how it stacks up ITRW."

I think this is exactly the point PG was making.
It is also bad behavior to fight somebody else's battles. They have to learn to stand up for themselves and say "No". Getting in between a manager and an employee when you're not on the org chart is a quick way to career wash out.

Lack Of A 'Golden Ticket' Business Model Doesn't Mean You Give Up And Go Home
It's supposed to be a caricature, but many workplaces are not only that bad, they're worse.
You got any evidence to support that?

My family does the exact same thing, except a bit faster. My sister already went to college. My relatives are business owners of nail shops. Granted it's a only a single anecdotal point.

Beside, startups founders plunge automatically to "poverty" level just so they can start their own business and then rise to millionaire status or more if they's successful.

"He is to take the aircraft to an altitude of 27,900ft (8,500m) by late Wednesday, when the sun's rays stop being strong enough to supply the solar cells with energy."

I'm just a bit confused by this. Wouldn't the sun's rays be stronger at higher altitudes because of having to travel through less atmosphere, and therefore less diffraction from the air?
I had them in there, but was having a problem getting the base state machine right, so took them out. Cool that you noticed though.

This has more to do with higher parental expectations, coming out of the general climate of economic insecurity in the United States. Upper-middle-class parents can hire maids to do some of the chores, but raising children is still exhausting in a society where young people have to be in the right track from preschool in order to have a decent shot at getting anywhere in life.

I don't think the type-A helicopter parents who insist on their children matriculating to elite pre-schools/boarding schools/colleges are that way because they expect their child to be the next Mozart. Obviously, there are some parents like that, but they exist in every society. Most of the parents who drive their children so relentlessly to be overachievers are that way because they realize what happens, in this country, to those who fall off of the elite track.

Still, for the purposes of the article, I would think that Microsoft's employees would be the wrong place to look if one were trying to gauge how well they're resonating with up-and-coming developers, developers, developers, developers.
But it is the influence of leisure on consumption which makes the short week so necessary. The people who consume the bulk of goods are the people who make them. That is a fact we must never forget -- that is the secret of our prosperity.

If I don't give you data, but maybe you can scrape a bunch of websites to get it, then yes, I withheld it. Hence, the title is misleading. The title didn't claim assorted weather stations did not withhold data, it claims the CRU did not. The text of the report admits they did.

As for my "out-of-context" quote, here is the context: http://junkscience.com/FOIA/mail/1107454306.txt . Why don't you explain to me how this was not a conspiracy to withhold data?
How about those guys that ask a question, and then another question, and another after that, and then some more... And all of the questions are not so much related to the topic as they are to something specific they are currently doing and cannot solve at the moment. In the mean time, the rest of the room is rolling their eyes and waiting for the whole thing to finally finish.

One should always be aware of the significance of the question, time constraints of the talk and the rest of the people in the room.

I'd say yes - I was pigeonholed as a Java Developer for 10 years...
I program in Ruby, JS, Python, and C#. I love the dynamic and functional aspects of JS and Python. Once you get up and rolling with a C# project, using all the new v3.5 and v4.0 features is very pleasurable, but the facts that it's a compiled language, all but requires Visual Studio to be effective, and that getting a project up and running can be such a pain, all create a barrier to entry and to simply playing around with it. On the other hand, you do have the dynamic .NET languages like IronRuby and IronPython to play with, but you write code totally different in them than you do in C#, so it's really an either/or situation, which doesn't help.

Even if we agree to define "misogyny" a bit more broadly, the piece isn't indicative of misogyny on the part of the author. That's what I take issue with: not that the accusation you make is so terrible, but that it is baseless.

As for "smacks of misogynism" vs. "characterization of the piece" and "ideological agendas", it's not about the vocabulary that's being used. It's that the phrase "smacks of misogynism" is weaselly--what does it mean? If you think that the author is a misogynist, say so. If you think that the piece is misogynistic, say that. It doesn't help that the piece doesn't, in fact, "smack of misogynism".
I think the traditional way of configuring a unix service manually using a random config file format that hides the underlying data structure is a bad choice. I'm trying to provide a way to automate things, and the best way to do that is with a universal data structure and langauge that modifies it accessible from every programming language.

sqlite3 fits that goal.

In other words, try doing .schema on your nginx.conf.

On the opposite end of the spectrum: We're expecting our first child in six weeks. My wife's sister lives two hours away... and every other member of our families lives thousands of miles away, in France and the UK. I have to admit it's a little daunting.

This looks like a whitewash to me. It wasn't just about whether they withheld data or even source code. One of their tactics, revealed by the leaked emails, was to publicly berate the scientists who opposed AGW to publish their arguments in peer reviewed journals. In private they worked to get journal editors fired, ignore journals that published opposite views, discredited and hampered the careers of opponents, etc. More importantly, this whole approach of focusing on one little fact and using that to "prove" there was no conspiracy is like focusing on the glove that would not fit in the OJ trial. If you read the leaked emails the pattern seems pretty clear -- these guys were not engaging in science but politics.
C# would be awesome except that it is a very "IDE intensive" language. Don't get me wrong, Visual Studio is a very good IDE (and MonoDevelop is shaping up nicely), but I'd still prefer vim or emacs as opposed to needing a fancy IDE to be very productive.
It's different depending on

a) the state

b) the type of corporation

This article is insulting, this is not the American dream. The American dream has never been about the pampered children of the elite working their way through subsidized higher education and finding exactly the right job just out of college with no experience.

The American dream is about working your ass off and scrambling your way up the ladder. It's about entrepreneurism and opportunity. It's about hard work and determination paying off over time. Andrew Carnegie's first job earned lower wages than working at McDonald's would today, he became wealthy not because he sat around like a sad sack waiting for his pre-conceived dream job to come to him while he was sitting around in his parent's house, he became wealthy because he sought out opportunities and took advantage of what he could. Like many highly successful people he worked his way through several careers.

The American dream isn't about the guy in this article, it's about the guy down the street starting a lawn care business with a rented lawnmower who uses hard work and sound judgment to build it into a landscaping company with its own office and several employees. It's about the other guy who builds an online business in his free time and works days, evenings, and weekends in order to make his dream reality. It's about the opportunity to work your way from nothing up to a comfortable living if you're willing to put in the elbow grease. That dream is as alive as ever, and with the low-overhead of internet based businesses if anything it's seeing a rebirth.
I don't think the EFF should be spending donated money defending black hats from potential criminal prosecution. There are far more white hats out there that have been unfairly targeted for true responsible disclosure. There are also a lot more important free speech issues to defend than your right to shout private AT&T account information in a public theater...
My experience has been the exact opposite: Java IDEs are bulky and hard to navigate while VS is at least bulky and easy to navigate. :-)
It's not as hard as it seems. Patience is key, but it all comes naturally. Really. I was nervous, but honestly, it's rather easy. Yes, having the relatives close by helped.

The best way to look at the situation is to remember that people have been having babies for thousands of years under much more difficult situations.

Just love the child. Everything else comes naturally.

Edit: Oh, and, of course, Congratulations! =)

Uhm, Henry Ford was known for violently suppressing unions in his factories. He considered unions to be closely tied to "Jewish Zionist" ambitions. He was also a heavy monetary supporter of Adolf Hitler. In fact, he refused to give back awards he received from the Third Reicht, and was in fact buried with them. Oh, and he was illiterate.

So word of advice... don't take advice from Henry Ford.
Quantum Psychology discusses all of this, from Copenhagenism to the Many-worlds interpretation. The point is by calling "Quantum Psychology" bullshit, you're engaging in the same sort of fallacious rhetoric that my post cautions against. Again, I ask you - what, specifically, disturbed you?
It is, but there's a loophole: the prosecution can argue that the police inevitably would have discovered the evidence eventually. It's fairly easy to claim for something like a murder because hiding a body permanently tends to be fairly difficult, and arguing that the murderer would have successfully hidden the body is very close to an admission of guilt.

Edit: if the police interrupt and prevent a murder, the testimony of the murder victim is also admissible. I don't think the argument "if the police hadn't illegally searched the area, the victim would be dead and unable to testify" works.
More and more of these tasks are getting to be commonplace in the client side scripting of a website.

However, you raise a valid point: Mobile websites, the kinds most likely to be served to you via MobileSafari, will likely not have things like Tag clouds or 3D raytracers for the foreseeable future.

Maybe there should be a mobile edition of the JS benchmarks run?

And also, as much as speed is an issue, what about a benchmark for compliance? Safari/Webkit is still (to some sites) a red headed step child. The "it works in FF and IE" mentality applies there. My bank is an example of that. It has gotten better, but there are still plenty of web apps where webkit is unsupported.

A reply by "Enemy of the State Number #38": http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/writing-for-pjm-helped-make-me-...

Which is a fair characterization as the root source, a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (i.e. the official publication of record for a unit of the government) article (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/06/04/1003187107.full...) links to this page and "argues that the skeptical scientists — the article calls us 'climate deniers,' trying to equate us with Holocaust deniers — have published less in climate “science” than believers in anthropogenic global warming (AGW)."

As the author says:

"Professor Freeman Dyson of the Institute for Advanced Study, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the Royal Society, is number 3 on the list. Dyson is a friend of mine and is one of the creators of relativistic quantum field theory; most physicists think he should have shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Richard Feynman. MIT professor Richard Lindzen, a meteorologist who is also a member of the National Academy, is number 4. Princeton physics professor William Happer, once again a member of the National Academy of Sciences, is number 6.

I’m in good company."

And let me preemptively further Goodwin this thread with a few quotes from the comments:

"This sort of reminds me of when Hitler got several hundred scientists to sign (on pain of death) a letter declaring Einstein was wrong. Einstein’s famous retort was: 'If I was wrong if would not take hundreds, it would only take one.'"

(Einstein was very rigorous about demanding proof, e.g. he said about one of his relativity theories that he would not accept it as being right unless several specified experiments all produced the predicted results.)

"The National Academy of Sciences clearly has no sense of irony.

While using the term “denier” in order to associate those with non-aligned views with Nazi sympathisers, it uses exactly the same tactic which was used in Hitler’s Germany to suppress so called “Degenerate art” (Entartete Kunst)."

The problem is that weev doesn't understand how a grand jury subpoena works. He has not been indicted, nor charged with any crime related to the "hack" yet. He has only been asked to testify in front of a federal grand jury. The government has no responsibility to provide a public defender, because he hasn't been indicted and charged with a crime yet. Technically, he's not yet a defendant.

I should mention the other charge for possession is most likely completely separate, and being handled at the state/local level, since he didn't commit a federal crime in that regard (it would have to be interstate trafficking).

In short, weev doesn't understand how the federal justice system works and is asking for help.

The Nexus One is made by HTC and many of them, including mine, have been upgraded to 2.2. I agree with your original point, though: what version of Android OS and Palm was he comparing?
Getting onto a panel discussion is also good practice in a lower-intensity setting. You get to sit at a table, which is inherently more comfortable than standing at a lectern, and you're sharing the heat with three or four other panelists.
Yes, it's a joke product. It's 34 minutes, and rather funny, but not likely something you'd take time out of your day to watch in it's entirety.
Have you looked at MIT's OpenCourseWare or iTunes University (same thing, just a different set of servers to DL from -- and an iPhone/iPad compatible format) for classes/continuing education? Because if it worked out, you could save some money.

I am not American but French-Canadian. Perhaps my idea of the American dream was skewed by hollywood.

I always thought that the American dream was about determination winning over "old money". I thought it was having fewer roadblocks in front of you. I thought it was about having opportunities to prove oneself regardless of wether or not you have a diploma.

Am I so disconnected from this kid's worldview that I can't understand why he didn't take up the 40k? I accepted my first job realizing that it wasn't so much about the money I was making as the chance to prove myself out there. Prove myself I did. I doubled my salary within the first 5 years and got more and more interesting jobs as time went by.

This guy just has sense of entitlement. He calls it the American dream but either he doesn't know what that means or I don't.
There is no reason whatsoever to serve a website from your personal residence these days. The downtime you will experience is enough of a reason to not do it.

Get a cheap shared hosting account (I ran my business from $4/mo GoDaddy for years) or a $20/mo VPS or use one of the cloud providers.
To be fair, there's a difference here between a publicly-traded corporation and, say, a mom-and-pop hardware store. A publicly-traded corporation can be sued for not extracting the most possible money, which is in line with the OP. A smaller store with few or no external investors can run itself as it damn well pleases, assuming it stays solvent.
Ok thanks, will tke a closer look.

I feel like a freak.

After reading this article I'm afraid my experience is much different. My wife and I love being parents, and life with our 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter is peaceful and full of laughter most of the time.

It wasn't always this way for me. I grew up in a home that screamed a lot, and most of my family and relatives still live with too much manufactured drama and bad life choices. After I converted to Christianity at the age of 20, I spent the next decade "working out my salvation" before I met and married my wife. We're celebrating our 10th anniversary next week, and I can honestly say my life is fantastic.

I credit a lot of why I've managed to pull off what I have to this book http://amzn.to/9zILXE
Thought: do data urls work in .css files? e.g. background: url(data:....); ? Because then you could have one cacheable file (everything.css) that sits along side your pages (use background images instead of plain old imgs), so you would only have to download them once, not on every page load.
In case it isn't obvious, I would recommend using a bulk email service (I use Mailchimp) rather than DIY.

I did DIY for a while myself and it was a harrowing experience. I was always worried that my script would get caught in an infinite loop or expose everyone's email address somehow. It's much easier and I feel safer using a bulk service. Plus, they add analytics, easy image insertion, etc, etc, etc.

Finally, most bulk services will have hotwo or tutorial articles answering most of these questions. They know that we don't really know what we're doing, so they try to do a little handholding.
"I think there is much more pressure on young people today (me being one of them) that you must be doing what your love or working on your passion."

That does work, but the key is that you just start doing what you love, possibly in your free time (chances are that when you start out, you're not good enough yet to get paid for it :-). If you keep that up long enough, and you keep enjoying it, chances are that at some point you will be good enough to get a job doing it. Case in point...

What does NOT work is sitting around waiting for a job to come by that you might like (like the guy in the article seems to be doing). Nor is it a good idea to live off of someone else while you wait.
