Troy Goode wrote a port for ASP.NET MVC, ABsolutelyMaybe. I've had good luck with it. It wasn't too difficult to migrate from the default storage engine, which is serialization.

The article talks about repeating mistakes, and descends into the world of file systems, but I didn't quite understand what the problem is that is repeated there.

Anybody care to explain?

(FWIW my impression is that there's lots of reinventing going on in the open source FS development; everybody wants to reinvent the cool features from ZFS, but with improved performance or a slightly different architecture, and they all seem to be eager to learn from their own and other people's mistakes).

The postings of the people I tend to follow on Twitter fall mainly in two categories, funny or interesting links/news. When I tweet I also aim for those categories, but I agree that it sometimes feels like shouting into a cavern meaning that you don't get any reactions from followers at all. The nice thing for me about Twitter is that it is very easy for me to send out a tweet, it is not time consuming like writing a blog would be. I also really enjoy crafting a tweet and getting the wording just right within the length of one tweet.

I don't use Facebook, but to me it sometimes seems like people use it as a substitute for socializing in real life. Since I'm somewhat of an introvert I prefer to keep a few friends that I really like instead of many friends that I don't like as much and Facebook seems to me to be the opposite of that. I may be wrong though and I guess people that like Facebook would disagree with me.

My thoughts on blogs have always been that they should be a creative outlet for your thoughts on one or several topics that you are really passionate about. You shouldn't write a blog to get an audience, but if you are passionate and write well I think you will organically grow an audience over time. A good thing about today's connected world is that any interest that you may have is probably shared by tens-of-thousands of people.

Speaking generally I think that "social media" is a bit of a misnomer at least compared to what I normally think of when I hear the word social (something like "seeking or enjoying the companionship of others").

Perhaps your expectations were more aligned with that definition of "social"?

On the other hand, if you don't enjoy it; don't participate! I'm not sure you will miss out on anything and at least it will be a point of discussion when you meet your friends in real life. :-)

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#margin-properties

When margin top or bottom is a percentage, it refers to the width, not height, of the containing block. If the parent is 100% width (say, the body), the element will move down 50% of your screen width.

Usually, you don't want this, but you can use it to do some cool tricks with keeping the aspect ratio of an element, like this: http://jsfiddle.net/bgrins/999FP/
They probably won't ever support WebGL, because it conflicts with their DirectX-on-Windows strategy which they've invested huge resources in to. The security scares are just to whitewash over the real issue - people are more likely to accept security as a reason than some strategy thing. (It's actually a very clever move - everyone's talking about WebGL security rather than Microsoft's strategy, so it's working. Them be smart folk at MS!)
What are you using to 'minify' your HTML code?

I noticed that it's just 1 line.
It's more than than just a single snapshot in time though. They are keeping a record of every car's coming and going every day. It wouldn't be difficult to poll a service like that to gather the information yourself for weeks or months worth of data.

Certainly you could drive around a parking lot everyday and get that information but that isn't very likely. It's that aspect of the service that is most troubling.
Yes, but as I've picked those bash and vim tips, I'd like to see someone hacking on a largish, real world project.

Perhaps the coder would be given a random bug and you would see the process from he reading the bug until the patch lands. That I would pay.
Notch had thousands of people at one time, watching him code and justin.tv cost him 14k? I hope you can find a way...

The material facts that stock values are supposedly based on do not change 1000's of times a second, though - it seems like it's trading for the sake of trading, rather than trading to best distribute goods and services to where they're desired and will be most effectively used.

One thing is deciding that IBM has a brilliant future and that the stock is a steal at the current price, and trading with someone who feels the opposite, another entirely to have thousands of transactions a second. Even the former transaction seems a bit zero-sum in that one of the people involved has the wrong idea and is going to either lose money or lose potential money.

That said, maybe I'm missing something - I don't know that much about HFT and stocks/finance in general, so I don't claim to have everything figured out.

What today's software developers know that their predecessors didn't
That's why I said "concepts" (not diploma), it's up to him how in-depth and/or hands-on he wants to go. But learning "how app's stuffs work" (the components of the app - design, code, controls/interactions, data) is the foundation on "building" one (that's because I don't believe a one-thingy app an app, like putting a photo on the screen, it gotta be 2 or more stuffs assembled together for me). If he just look inside an app, and he does not know what's the meaning of the "code" (module/library, object), programming, rebuilding/iterating, etc., he won't learn how and why it was built like that. Heck, he would't have any idea what he's looking at! Fundamental concepts, no matter how layman you can teach it to the kid, and having a "clear idea/plan/purpose" are essential before you send him to "just build stuff".

For a kid, drawing boxes of things he would like to put into his app, and seeing how he's going to put them together, is the best way to start an app, and the best way to identify the concepts/skills he needs to learn.

To get you started, I suggest you (or the kid's parents) tell him to draw how his app will look like, all screens (from the home screen to the scoreboard :)) on individual boxes, the size of his iPad/mobile device, then you guys cut them out. Then you link these screens/cut-outs with the navigation controls, for him to understand the flow, and the "big picture" of what's he's building.

These are of course, if you want him to build "something," not just practice/unfinished works that do nothing -- therefore does not contribute to the kid.

(I taught basic Photoshop to kids, 8-12 years old. They were able to compose cool graphics because they understood how to make bitmaps, shapes, texts, layers, blending and effects work together. I didn't underestimate them, they needed to know what the heck they're doing, so I really taught them those things, in the end, we had an unbelievable exhibit! :))
I too thought he was being sarcastic, but then I noticed there was a complete lack of smilies and rejected the notion as absurd.

> The bar chart with independents, republicans and democrats makes it seem like every group is equally large.

The chart was about relative take on the subject in each constituency. But again bar charts prove their superiority: it's perfectly possible to scale the bar charts according to the size of the charted group (although you're going to lose the comparability of relative constituencies, which again was the point), almost impossible to do so with pie charts.

You've got to think outside of the box a bit. They could use this for remote interviews that entail live problem solving. It could really help cut down the number of candidates that require in-person interviews if they live in another state.
I've reflected on this in the past as well. It seems to me Notch doesn't do any kind of automated testing what so ever. Some of the bugs would have been easy to discover with simple unit tests. The game is great and all, but he does seem to have a shoot-from-the-hip approach to development.

I think the set of purposes you're considering is too limited. If you want an accurate comparison then a pie graph might always be a bad idea. But if the truth doesn't make you look good then the fact that a pie graph is bad at giving an accurate impression of the data actually is your purpose, and the pie chart might be the best graph for the job.

But that’s not really the point. There is no way to test Minecraft thoroughly if you are pretty much on your own. It has too many features. Minecraft is too complex for this method to work.

to me it looks like just a simpler version of Fogbugz. I am guessing on the back end they re-used a lot of code. Fogbugz offers more features, but this is more accessible, easier to use, and more basic so it can be used in many different ways.. I think it will put FogCreek in front of more developers and managers and get them into more spaces like GTD (rememberthemilk.com) areas...

b) Try your same multiple-times-failed strategy again?

Perhaps because ZFS cannot be integrated into Linux due to licensing issues. If Oracle would be generous enough to offer it under a compatible license, I have little doubt it would be very welcome, despite some of its architectural incompatibilities.

First: To state the obvious, I'm not the same guy as the guy with this upgrading troubles.

Second: You still sound like a zealot if you talk in absolutes and keep your condescending tone.

So I should buy a console and a big TV (I have neither)? And that idea (buying a completely closed platform like a PS3/XBox 360) doesn't violate your grand plan of bringing freedom and open specifications to everyone?

You silently ignored my 'what about existing machines?' point. It seems those are out of luck as well, so we're finally arriving in a world where you suggest to buy specific hardware for running Linux. Like we had to do, 10 years ago.

How can you write arguments like 'the manufacturer doesn't care about you' and continue with 'the distribution maintainers probably didn't like to include the proprietary driver' and 'tough luck if your machine won't work now' (paraphrased)? If the end user is my aunt, where's the end-user visible difference between 'Nvidia doesn't care about her' or 'Ubuntu doesn't care about her, because that off-the-shelf machine has a graphic card from one of the two big manufactures on the market'?

I stick to my point here: What the original author experienced was a regression in the distribution. The reasons for bad (open, free/libre) hardware support, while correct and sad at the same time, don't matter here. You saw 'had to blacklist nuveau' and jumped on it.

It worked first, it broke after an update -> Ubuntu fail. NVidia hate might be a pet peeve of yours, but is only tangentially related to the experience described above.

(Disclaimer: I don't have a graphic card from NVidia, nor do I run Ubuntu on any machine of mine. I've got no options of NVidia nor do I want to diminish the work of the Ubuntu maintainers, although I have to admit that I stopped being a member of the 'free or not all all' crowd quite some time ago)
