For a simpler long term fix, we could just change how we do college admissions. For example, if we raised the entry requirements for 18 year-olds and kept the requirements re people in their mid-20s and up.

That would eliminate lots of liberal arts majors very quickly, replacing them with more technical people who are better motivated for difficult subjects. It's not an elegant solution, but it's probably easier than untangling the knot of education or somehow getting the political will to slice it in twain.

Eclipse is frankly a poor text editor. After learning enough Emacs to get comfortable, it becomes clear that there is a better way. For example, undo. In Eclipse, type something, undo it and type something else. Now you can't use the undo/redo function to get the first thing that you typed back. In Emacs, you can, since undo is an undoable operation. Similarly, having things like i-search, align-regex and rectangle editing have become vital for editing code. These things either do not exist, or are difficult to discover or use in things like Eclipse.
Disabled accounts should be checked in the model. But instead of returning a boolean, it could throw appropriate exceptions (WrongPasswordException, AccountDisabledException) that you can then handle in the controller.

Many of those real-life scenario assertions can be implemented as before/after/around filters, since they apply to many routes.

In Rails, :except and :only are super useful on filters.

Also, another possibility is to noun-ify some verbs. (Some may prefer to call it resource-ification, or REST-ification)

For example, you could create a PasswordResetRequest model, which handles all of the logic for checking the old password, the password confirmation, the new password's complexity, etc. Then it would be responsible for executing the actual password change as well.

As a bonus, noun-ification enables easy logging because you'll already have a data structure to store.
Exactly, and the variance of the maximum will decrease even faster than the variance of the mean.
OK, my bad.
Fat Stupid Ugly Controller instead of the succint (decidedly more literate) Fat Controller - sadly an opportunity lost.
I am unable to find a citation for this but I recall having read that Scientists had started to notice a pattern - The life span of a mammal is typically a function of the age of maturity. The function was a factor of 6.
In humans age of maturity is approximately 20.
So it is believed that the maximum lifespan is about 20*6 =120 years for humans.

1. Make "your welcome page" a link to "/welcome", and also some text indicating that we need to edit the file src/noirsite/views/welcome.clj.

3. deleting: "[noir.content.pages :as pages]" from welcome.clj (as the initial startup page says to do) gives me an error:

I was just reading this morning an archaeological report about a 14th century cemetery dug up somewhere in the Balkan area. Around 40% of the skeletons belonged to children aged 0 to 7, while out of the rest no skeleton was found having belonged to a person older than 60. In the following 2 centuries the situation got slightly better, as the percentage of children 0-7 decreased to ~30%, and they were able to find a few skeletons that had lived beyond 60.

The point I'm trying to make is that we tend to very easily forget that we've come a really long way, but these things take time and they don't involve only science (the fact that the area I was studying was ravaged by the Ottoman expansion definitely had an impact on how long the people in the Balkans lived, as do today's not so healthy diets for most of the Western-populations). This is why I think that making bold and unsubstantiated predictions such as "in 20 years' time we will have reached indefinite lifespans" doesn't really get us anywhere, it only helps confusing us.
I'd argue that a self-driving car can take actions that a human drivers would not be capable of performing...

First of all, it will have much quicker reactions - and in accidents, those extra milliseconds do save lives. Secondly, it can take calm reactions where a human would panic. For example, if a parson started stumbling around drunkenly on a highway, with human drivers zooming past at 70mph a deadly accident is guaranteed. With self-driven cars, it's not that unreasonable to assume that they will be able to spot the person some distance away and change lane to shift around him or her. It might cause a slow-down in traffic around that area, but there's a good chance the whole incident can happen without accidents.
Interesting. Until recently my LinkedIn profile was a bit of a mess and includes most of the things I've been involved with.

Since most careers advice involves 'tailoring' your CV I'm not sure how applicants will benefit from this. If I wanted to apply for different roles in different companies requiring different skill-sets, what do I put on my profile?

Edit: After reading the LinkedIn blog post, it seems there's more to this than simply sending an employer a link to your profile. Suggestions of who works in the company might be useful but that's something I'd have done anyway.

YES! I am exhausted from a long run and cannot articulate my thoughts clearly but just as an example, I try and overload my Django models with as much logic as I possibly can. Add tons of functions for fetching attributes, use @property(s) and make use of custom managers or queryset subclassing when you can. If you spend the time to "fatten" (as this article mentions) up your models, your views and the actual nitty-gritty glue holding your app together will be MUCH simpler and easier to follow. Let your models do the heavy lifting!

4 reasons why cloud computing is efficient
> "We can keep making things, then remaking them into different things basically forever."

Woah, since when?

For one thing, making things (and remaking them) takes a tremendous amount of energy, which uses fuel, of which as of yet we are still running on finite reserves (disregarding the environmental angle completely, even).

Secondly, when you chop down a tree and make it into paper, that paper may be recyclable, but never in the exact same form (there's a reason recycled paper is not used in many applications of paper). Not only that, many items that we make are not practically recyclable, or dangerously so - see: recovery of precious metals from electronics. Nigh impossibility unless you want to burn the rest of it away, spewing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere and causing skyrocketing cancer rates.

Until we have infinite, free energy and the ability to transmute matter at will, we cannot keep remaking things forever, not even close. No amount of recycling will even come close to the environmental and resource savings of simply not making something in the first place.

the state has to prove mens rea. It's not an optional thing, or something that has fallen out of fashion.

You say it like the state can't just do whatever it damn well pleases, such as imprison Aaron if he's being a pain in its ass.

It's obvious that the US is quite a police state already. If we assume that Aaron's indictment is political - which seems highly likely to me at least - it makes you look like some kind of weird police state apologist.

This is probably my nitpick with people (not all) that come from Rails and tries to 'teach' others about general concepts by the way they are done in Rails.

A good example is "In Programming, Fat Models Are Preferable To Size Zero Models". Sure, if you are in Rails, you probably don't want a 3000 lines controller, but guess what, there are also Services! By moving logic to the Model you end up with fat models that do a lot of things, instead of having specialized Services for logical parts of you application.

badclient example below is a prime example. Do we really want the model to handle authorization? What if it also needs to know about the account the user is trying to access has been suspended (then the User model needs to know about Account model suspension) or even authorization for that specific page (only managers should be able to access payroll).

By moving the logic to the model, you now have a big fat model that needs to know about everything in the application (and most likely, a lot of logic will have to be replicated throughout other models).

About the "Fat Stupid Ugly Controllers" can also be separated to View Presenters, making the code much cleaner (presentation is presentation, controller is controller, model is model) and not Fat Stupid Ugly Models.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick and tired Rails programmers talking about Rails ways like it is the one true way while there are a lot of Software Design Practices that are better suited for each case.

I suspect that while this is a reasonable and logical redesign, it misses out on some non-rational behavior of the majority of people who read news. I know that, non rationally, I quite like a bit of "jumble" from my newspapers and news sites so I can just "wander" around from thing to thing for a while. The redesign showed here turns it more into a blog and I think I'd have trouble wandering around it.. I'd need to know what I was looking for.

I dislike the Daily Mail but I know their site is almost entirely driven by numbers and what catches on (and what doesn't): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ - it has a certain formula to it but it still has an element of randomness and chaos because, I suspect, that's what readers are going for, whether we like it or not.

There are countless stories of families, individuals and businesses being wiped out by the IRS. Tax issues are not uncommon. About ten million Americans are tax delinquents and another seven to ten million have not filed their tax returns in years. As astounding as these figures might sound they should hardly be surprising. With more new complex tax laws being established every year more and more Americans will end up at some point in debt with the IRS.

The particular UAV in the article is a plane shaped like a seagull. I doubt speed was requirement. The fact is aircraft have gotten faster since the Wright brothers and airframes have also gotten much stronger. Ailerons with ailerons you gained high-speed maneuverability at the cost of low-speed.

Since then, engineers have been trying to find more elaborate ways of regaining lowspeed flight maneuverability by adding more control surfaces. Flaps, for example extend the wing to increase the chamber. It might not be warping in the traditional context but they have definitely warped the airflow to the same effect.
Your post got me excited because it sounds like you're describing Runge's Phenomenon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge%27s_phenomenon ).

Yeah, that's what some of the followup work is. Since it's evolving physical hardware, though, temperature is a real physical quantity that affects performance, not a spec that it takes as input. So they experiment with varying the temperature during the evolution process, which should weed out members of the GA population that were only fit at very specific temperatures. That does complicate the setup a bit, because you have to actually vary the temperature using heater/AC.

I am concerned by the tendancy to throw everything into
one in-process model. (by in-process I mean that we are calling a ruby function calculatePrice in the same model / whatever instead of calling out to a web api and getting back a price)

It's usually cleaner to think about web service calls - not
put everything into same model

even though you can cleanly seperate functions within a single model the tendancy to make an inprocess call not an api call is always high.

So removethe tempation.

Have a thin model, a thin view and a thin controller
all doing just one (rest-ful) thing and call between them

A division that is bleeding cash doesn't mean that it should be sold off or closed down.

Sometimes, products that don't make money or even make losses are part of a bigger strategy.

Look at Google, no one knows if YouTube is still profitable but it has positioned Google as the leader in online video and will no doubt help their social efforts.

Innovative things have happened from online video - online lectures, talks, short films and creation of internet stars wouldn't have happened faster without the massive reach of YouTube.

Bing is positioning itself in a way that when Google does something stupid (looks highly improbable right now) then Microsoft can be at the right place at the right time.

One of the more important things is a user's trust. Yahoo! & Microsoft are very notorious at abruptly closing down their services and so it becomes difficult to trust their products even if they're a notch ahead in terms of features than their close competitors. Another sale would hurt that trust, no doubt.
