It's not really a problem as far as suburbs go: those who want can certainly live there as long as they consider them fit. If suburbia is a bubble, it'll come down crashing eventually.

If there's something to change with regard to the suburbs is that we should distribute the costs of living in a suburbs vs cities fairly. That is suburbanites should be paying much larger portion of the costs of public infrastructure and roads that stretch dozens of miles out to the countryside and are of no use except for suburbanites themselves.

However, there's a much more serious problem related to the effects of suburbia.

The fundamentals of current city planning and urban design, largely borrowed from the Garden City utopia, for the suburbia are so detached from the reality of urban development in cities that the greatest danger is in blindly applying these incompatible principles to the urban environment and, in effect of doing so, crippling the real fundamentals that actually govern a vibrant city life. We are killing the whatever health our cities might still possess by making them more fit for automobiles, segregating different uses into different zones, and doing huge disruptive redevelopment projects that wipe out and reset to zero big parts of city neighbourhoods.

The result from this is be the devastation of cities by applying governance and design principles incompatible with city development--which has already been going on for decades--which effectively leaves people only the suburbia.

Such a monotonous development is bad for the survival in general as is anything that lacks diversity. Think of Windows viruses versus virii for other platforms. Such a big disruption that could wipe out suburbia for anybody but the richest of the people is the rising of the price of oil. The oil price has already reached levels where daily automobile commuting from the farthest backwaters of suburbia becomes an actual economic obstacle. If, or when, suburbia fails, I'd like that we would still have cities where to retreat.

Something i do quite regularly is google search each of my passwords, and I would advise anyone to do the same.

The problem with this is that your password could end up in your web history and autocomplete. The other option would be an incognito session, but I think that could still lead to it ending up on Google Suggest if you do it often enough.

A little bit ironic, if I understand the article correctly: Linux disables power management when the BIOS claims not to support it. But a lot of BIOS'es are misconfigured (intentionally) because otherwise Windows' power management wouldn't work. So, Linux - in trying to do things right - suffers indirectly from Windows' disabilities.

While I think you're just making a joke and may already know this, it is important to keep in mind that Microsoft's involvement with this is probably very minimal and seems to be a no-win situation for it (edit: them?

"Microsoft is.." instead of the British way of "Microsoft are..." yet the pronoun of Microsoft is them?)

It doesn't really matter that much. The value of hacking your account is accessing the stuff that is in the account. Changing passwords should be less interesting.

If they have a trojan on your computer, they can still access everything in your account. 2-factor auth doesn't help. Very little does help if you have a trojan on your computer.

I admit in the scenario played out here - hacker tries to scam your friends - changing the password might help the hackers a little bit. Presumably they want to mail back and forth with your friends (first a plea for help, then sending a bank account number).

Still, that is only a minor danger compared to major damage of accessing your account, which the trojan does anyway.

For example even without a password the scammers could just claim that they have a new email address.
So bisect only helps you find the commit that caused the regression, not the source code problem that caused the error?

Lifestyle change

-----------------

" Research has shown that people with severe coronary heart disease are able to halt disease progression or reverse it without drugs or surgery by making comprehensive lifestyle changes such as managing stress through yoga and meditation, switching to a low-fat vegetarian diet, stopping smoking, exercising moderately, and finding social support.
http://www.pmri.org/publications/1761.pdf

• The June 2008 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a prostate cancer study demonstrating that lifestyle change can affect gene expression. The researchers found that improved nutrition, stress management, walking, and psychosocial support changed the expression of over 500 genes in men with early-stage prostate cancer.

"What if you were given that choice? For real. What if it weren't just the hyperbolic rhetoric that conflates corporate performance with life and death? Not the overblown exhortations of a rabid boss, or a slick motivational speaker, or a self-dramatizing CEO. We're talking actual life or death now. Your own life or death. What if a well-informed, trusted authority figure said you had to make difficult and enduring changes in the way you think and act? If you didn't, your time would end soon -- a lot sooner than it had to. Could you change when change really mattered? When it mattered most?

Yes, you say?

Try again.

Yes?

You're probably deluding yourself.

There are at least couple of advantages:

- less noise in the address bar

- reminds the average user that they don't have to type http:// to make a url work
The reasons why the authenticator cannot generate Application Specific passwords and why it does not need a PIN lock are the same: the entire point of 2-factor authentication is that the authenticator by itself is not enough to gain access to your account. You must separately provide both a code from the authenticator and your real password every time you log in.

There's no such thing as a "one time password". There are "Application Specific passwords" which work exactly like your regular password except that they limit access to critical account settings and can be created/disabled at will. If someone obtains one of your Application Specific passwords then they can use it to log in and access your data until you revoke that password but they cannot change your real password and deny you access to your own account.

Yes, but because the best practise in git is to make commits very small, the commit that caused the regression is typically ~= the source code problem that caused the error.
How to create a unique software for your business
For the record, I don't think that Gmail security is bad, or worse than something else. I just wanted to report my story, as I thought it would be interesting. I am a bit overwhelmed by the reaction to this post, honestly.
That's a great writeup Justin, but it would lend you even more credibility if you mentioned the time you gave up - Kiko. The only reason I've seen cited in interviews is that Google jumped into the market and conquered it overnight. I don't believe that at all. I think if you stuck to your guns, you could kick Google calendar's ass and be successful despite the initial competitive setback, much like the great examples you give in your article.

Did you get bored of working on Kiko or were you looking for a bigger, crazier idea?
So... what you're saying is that having better tooling is a bad thing?

Disclaimer: I've done GWT and I liked it.

I did not find any Java<->Javascript paradigm shift problem at all. You simply forget about the Javascript and just write Java.

The big benefit of using GWT over writing 'native' javascript is that you get the same behaviour on all browsers.

The big benefit of using GWT over using other java based web frameworks is that GWT moves the client's state down to the client, where it belongs.

If you look at most other Java web frameworks like that (e.g. Struts and it's direct competitors), they expend enormous effort porting data to and from the client, and trying to hack around the limitations of the HTML post operation - namely that blank values aren't returned (checkboxes!!) and that everything is passed as text (numbers!!). So what these other frameworks do is they end up making you write all these model objects, and then try to simulate the client state. JSF is the worst of these as it takes it the furthest, they're not just emulating the model, but also the view as well with their overly-complex de-hydration and re-hydration of components.

If you tell the client state to bugger off back to the client where it belongs, you save a good 30-40% of your typical web framework effort right there.

Eliminating Javascript browser/version idiosyncrasies saves you another 20-30% of your effort (more if the UI is very dynamic, less if it isn't).

-----

I think you're posting on the basis of assumptions you've made based on what you've heard about GWT, rather than experience with it.
Certainly on road cycling in a British city can be "challenging" - I used to have a 10 mile cycle commute through the center of Edinburgh for a few years and I had a number of incidents that were pretty scary.

However, things are getting better - Edinburgh has a pretty decent cycle path network (mostly on old railway lines, so they sometimes appear to be ridiculously over-engineered - with huge bridges and tunnels). We had a family cycle on Sunday morning where we cycled for about 3 hours with perhaps 15 minutes of that being on roads.

I wouldn't let kids cycle on roads by themselves though - something I did as a child from an early age without thinking about the dangers (I did grow up in a small village in the north of Scotland!).

I meant closing it after going through the "last chance" form. Although it wouldn't surprise me if someone could go through it again and reopen it. Also, if you left a computer with a Google login where someone could access it (not smart, but people can slip up), then I guess the paranoid/high security thing to do would be to close the account, since there is no way to know when the gathered information would be used to access it. Changing the password would be worthless.
Types of Software Testing
Testing is finding out how correctly the product works. In other words it is a process that is used to identify correctness, completeness and quality of software. In this post we will discuss various types of testing. Let us first understand Manual and Automation testing:
> The educated American masses helped create the American century, as the economists Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz have written

More evidence needed. IMHO, the Nazis and their craziness did a lot more for creating "the American century" than US schools. First, by forcing to emigrate all the smart Jewish University professors in the 1930s, and then by getting defeated in WW2 and allowing both the Americans and the Soviets to take advantage of their research in rocket-related fields.

Someone remind me why are we tampering with how the urls are displayed. Is there some major benefit I'm missing out on and why is this type of thing "news"?

1) Normal users do not understand URLs, at all.

2) It is in Google's direct financial interest to extend overwhelming control of navigation on the Internet into complete domination, by discouraging navigation by end users and teaching them that the right way to navigate is to use AOL Keywords 2.0 at their friendly local multinational advertising company.

Why would Firefox do this? I don't know. Maybe they have Chrome envy.

Want a conspiracy theory? Firefox receives essentially 100% of their funding -- to the tune of over a hundred million bucks -- from Google kicking back advertising revenue in return for being the default search engine in FF. If a for-profit corporation made a decision in the interests of their sole client whose happiness was worth 9 figures a year, what would you conclude about the motivation for that decision?

Agree. This change is not one that will have a net positive impact. You do not need to type http:// in the bar anyway so not showing will not suddenly boost readability.I would much rather they copied some of the ideas from Locationbar². The Domain highlighting is especially useful.

car-buying trends in America traditionally favour larger-engined saloon cars.

That's not really very accurate. The Ford F-150 pickup truck has been the best selling automobile for nearly 30 years. As of the 2009 article I'm looking at, the Chevy Silverado pickup truck was the #2 seller. That's a lot of pickup trucks.

As for the rest of the market, it fluctuates tremendously with fashion and fuel prices. Cars overall have shrunk over the years, and enormous sedans, convertibles, or station wagons have come and gone as status symbols. The most recent notable trend was the SUV. Hatchbacks come and go, but we tend to associate them with the cheap compacts following the 70's oil embargo. Also, why buy a hatchback when you can buy an SUV (which is also technically a hatchback, but 'cooler') for not much more?

If the U.K. had the buying power and parking space, their automotive purchasing trends would likely look much more like the U.S. Then again, the depreciation rate on vehicles in the U.K. is extremely high, so perhaps that would limit adoption.
Do you think that learning about parallelism would help a beginner to learn how to program, or to understand code better?

The "air conditioners in uninsulated tents" thing was always kind of jarring to me.

Piracy allows you to do it. I know it's not legal, but you can easily and quickly, and for free get (almost) any TV show, film, or music album (and soon, book) rapidly via P2P networks.

In '95 piracy meant buying dodgy low quality VHS tapes from the back of someone's car in a car boot sale. The quality and selection was no where near as good. Now you can pirate the TV show about 1 hour after they are first shown and watch them before they are aired in your country. You can stream loads of sports events as they happen live. You're an american in germany and want to watch the superbowl live? no problem!
> If human capital is the important factor then being 6 credits short of a 140 credit degree shouldn't affect outcomes. If signalling matters, it should have a rather large effect.

It it matters, I'm a CS dropout from an an Eastern European country which is also part of the European Union. Let's say I've got 125 out of 140 credits (so I got pretty close to actually finishing it).

Anyway, I have a pretty good job and all, but once in a while I receive a job offer that actually sounds interesting. It did happen to me to actually get rejected from such a job "because as you don't have a degree, and as we work with an European Union agency, and as said EU Agency requires that all our employees should have a CS degree, we're sorry to announce to you etc", as they elegantly put it. Some other guys said no to my salary requirement "because you don't have a CS degree, we won't receive the tax breaks given by the Government to us for hiring people with CS degrees, so we're going to pay you less". Fuck them, I said :)

I don't know what the moral of the story should be. What I got out of it all is that I should always work in an environment very close to a meritocracy (and small startups seem to be the closest thing to this), and maybe later down the road open my own shop.
There's much more to a productive programming environment than IDEs, and most Python programmers don't use IDEs anyway.

The OP says he wants to do a startup and plans to go to grad school for physics, but in terms of programming, he doesn't really know what he wants.

That's why he is asking for advice on what path to take -- he is asking for "preferences," recommendations, and guidance. How many startups do you know that run Windows? How many high-performance physics labs?

When people were asking for faster horses, they didn't know to ask for automobiles because they didn't know that was something to consider. The had no perspective. Helping someone onto a more productive path from the start can help them get to where they want to go faster in the long run.

"We generally continue to find positive and significant coefficients on numbers of credits completed, as each year's worth of credits was associated with a 3-5% increase in both hourly wages and annual earnings. Perhaps surprisingly, the estimated 'sheepskin effects' of degree completion over and above the value of the credits completed were often small when studying wages and earnings."
