Yeah, Ruby's website is awful. Even Ruby on Rails' website is pretty bad. They don't make it look nearly as awesome as it actually is.
The problem with that approach is that tuning it is hard, i.e. it's rather harder to ensure that the knob somewhat linearly adjust from "not toasted" to "black" and the useable control range isn't just a tiny part at one end of the full range.

Luckily changing software doesn't (usually) require a solder iron.

That really surprised me until I looked it up, and read in Wikipedia that "At the center of the Sun, theoretical models estimate it to be approximately 276.5 watts/m3, a power production density that more nearly approximates reptile metabolism than a thermonuclear bomb" and realized a few seconds later that an object with a thermonuclear bomb's power generation density, the size of the Sun, would not look like a thumb-sized blazing ball of fire from 93 million miles away. It would look like a supernova, and explode around as fast.

Are you in their circles? It could be that they aren't sharing publicly.
You have to love that the "U.S. Chamber of Commerce" is thought of as some sort of representative entity, when it's really just a front for conservative corporate interests.

The comparison is indeed useless. Also google+ isn't even launched yet. It's still "field trial" where "a small number of people" participate. For large values of small I guess.

Asthma in children
Childhood asthma may be caused by domestic animals and climate change. Asthma in children can be severe if the provider is negligent. Also make sure your child is supervised during use of inhalers and asthma medications. Your child can lead a normal life if they adhere to the treatment of asthma and keep the inhaler on hand at all times.

I use :Ack pretty aggressively, so it is quite rare that I don't have a little search window open. If I close my last buffer, then the quickfix window takes up the whole screen and I quickly use :FuzzyFinderTextMate to open the next file.

So the only time I accidentally :q the last buffer is when I close all files, override my search results, don't run a new search, then close the only file. Needless to say, that is pretty rare.

I actually had a lot of hope for g+ because it addressed one of my biggest issues with facebook(lack of granular privacy controls). However my initial optimism for google plus was replaced with an appreciation for facebook seeing how in six years of usage I never felt as overwhelmed by facebook as I did with google+'s UI. Oh, not to mention that I can't really find many friends who actually use google plus and can't figure why random spammy people keep adding me to their circles. Sounds a lot like twitter. But worse.
Google has the advantage of being Google. FB was the underdog at the time.

Especially when getting into a codebase that is not yours you are tempted to think "why dont i just rewrite this in a better an cleaner way". Then you go on todo that and fall into most of the pitfalls the original author fell in before, have to rethink every idea behind and it usually is alot more work than you think.
That said it depends heavily on the size of the project and a bunch of other things, for a 3 month old project it might make sense.

I'm not sure I buy "invention", the creation of something new.

I prefer to ask questions that determine whether people are able to mine their own experience and apply solutions from one domain to another entirely different domain.

It seems to me, that most invention is finding novel approaches to existing problems, and that most problems already have solutions that just need to be discovered and matched up with their problem. The harder part is that it is usually the case that the solution is in a different problem domain than the problem at hand.

The most inventive people I know are the ones who are open to learning everything, who consume all knowledge and are always listening. These people store solutions in a problem-domain invariant way, such that when they encounter a problem they already know the solution even though it's non-trivial for everyone else.

I myself feel that those UI improvements (such as the smooth scrolling) are too minor to sacrifice the editing and extension power that Emacs and Vim give their users, but to each their own, I guess.

BTW, you can get Mac shortcuts out of the box using Aquamacs (I don't use it myself, but IIRC they're even porting it to Cocoa, so it should gain some UI bling as well).

Well - it's not entirely stupid. It certainly doesn't mean that Google+ is more successful in any sense whatsoever (at least - not yet).

But it's an important statistic if you are looking for data about how quickly large companies can take a slice of an established market if they have a decent product. How quickly? - well - compare how long it took a startup like Facebook to do it to Myspace to Google.

It's still useful.

I take it, however, that you see it as stupid because of the implication that by mentioning the comparison, the article contains an implicature of "Google is doing better than facebook". When of course - it's not there semantically at all. What's more, that sort of implicature seems to be cancelled by the article directly stating that the statistic does not imply success.

It's just funny how people run with their own interpretations of a text. (I'm a bit aspie... can you tell?)

Programmers aren't resources...not because it may be rude, but because it's totally inaccurate.

It's hard to think of people like resources in a profession where the actual number of them doesn't matter very much.

This isn't like moving a large box where you need exactly the right number of people to hold all the corners and pretty much anyone can take any corner. Instead, you want to be tracking what people know (their proficiencies, such as languages) and how good they are (their efficiencies, such as how many years experience and their track records in past projects that required the same skill). Proficiencies and efficiencies are your programming resources, not the actual people.

There are programming projects where one excellent person could shoulder the whole thing, and 10 newbies could ruin it. There are experienced people who simply have the wrong experience to be effective in a certain situation. Having some programmers "free" to work on something isn't really relevant, they have to be the right programmers.

While I support the opinions with regard to security and disclosure as presented, the rest of the article is regrettably lacking in detail, specifics, evidence, or attributable quotes on what has actually occurred. It's hard to say if this is just the typical style of a piece for general audiences on this topic, or the tail wagging the dog on attributing these things to china in the public eye.

Frankly, what's more alarming; the dedicated resources of a single state actor, or a complex, emergent network of self-interested individuals and groups persuing their own aims?

I find the Chinese explanation a little too convenient and a little too amenable to typical national defense thinking. What this article really says to me is that if you want to hack an American company, own a Chinese box first. Nobody will look any further.
