The author of the post is working nice hours a day so one can spend three hours with his daughter, it's a pretty big stretch to say he's "child-centered".

You bemoan the lack of manners of today's youth. When, prey tell, are children going to learn proper behavior from their parents if they're spending only an hour a day with them? Where else will they learn manners? At school or day-care? Good luck with that.

You're a fan of Louis CK so I'll paraphrase him to denounce your disgusting call for more figurative or literal smacking. You have a physically and emotionally weak being who trusts you implicitly and they end up being the only people you're allowed to hit. Sounds like a recipe for a well adjusted kid to me!

"a little neglect never hurt anybody", but a lot hurts everybody. Children today are so neglected they fill their time with TV, video games, and junk food. As a result of this they will be the first generation in eons who are less healthy than their parents (and we'll pick up the tab be it Obamacare or private insurance).

Unless you're Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg your tombstone isn't going to read "Hacker Extraordinar", if you're lucky it'll say "Loving and devoted Father". No matter what it says you're children will be the only people on this earth who will remember you. The least you can do is spend a couple extra hours a week with them.

Fifthly, can you expect any creativity from it as the images and designs are very limited. You cannot add something of your interest to it which may frustrate you.
5000 tasks per day is of course far from limit. we used to build Mysql queues that process close to 100 tasks per second.

Good example of a real situation you always end up facing at some point. Why I use ZeroMQ when logging or queueing with Redis.
The single page aspect is mostly just for 'slickness' - content is displayed instantly, animations are used and the page only needs to be loaded once. It is becoming more popular among the web; many portfolio sites that I come across are on a single page. The portfolio, business card, resume, etc... type site is well suited for a single page since they are simple, slickness is fairly important and search engine rankings aren't as important.

A side benefit of Pagify is that it DRYs up what would otherwise be duplicated elements in content sites with static HTML pages, i.e. header, navigation and footer - and without any serverside processing.

That being said, a single page and this plugin in particular, certainly aren't the best option for all sites. The reason I made this was to make the development cost virtually the same for developing single page sites.
I suspect there's a large overlap between the people who would ridicule such an approach and the very people who find themselves in need of this article :)

A while back I looked at moving part of the queue into mysql, but I got stuck while trying to keep it a polling based system (I should have been able to accomplish this by having a mysql trigger touch a file in the filesystem, which would trigger inotify / wake up the queue, but I couldn't get it to work as described in the docs). After reading the author's mention of postgresql having some sort of listen/notify feature, I'll have to give that a look.
I'll agree with you - if what you are looking for is straight forward ticketing and issue tracking, RT rocks. Quick question (it's been a while) - do they have a free-text search engine like lucene that lets you search all the comments/tickets? That's probably near the top of my list of things I love about Jira - it's insanely fast search capability of all the comments/summaries.
I would have been suspicious of a hyperlink in this context...since this is potentially discussing a XSS vulnerability on Google (not necessarily, but maybe).
Or "Your whole future in one place" sounds better to me.
I respect the sentiment of your post, but you posit a false dichotomy between either the type of all-consuming "helicopter parenting" gruseom is inveighing against on the one hand, or antisocial behaviour, TV, video games, junk food, and early death on the other. If that's really the choice, well, how can anyone disagree with you?

See my sibling post; I strongly feel there is a third way.

I think this could work. Create an offline repository of logins, and agree to only access them after a hundred years (or proven notice of death).

It would be opt-in of course. Maybe ran by Archive.org? Or as a for profit venture, promising to pass your info on to your family after you die.

Of course, ideally, they would worth in union with service providers. So they would agree to keep your data safe that long, and so that it could be deleted after your death, so no one can pose as you.

Maybe it should be a site like LastPass or PassPack that regularly logs in for you and backs up your data for eventual dissemination post-death? Providing the password service in the meantime?

The title of the article is not very representative of its contents. It should be: "5 subtle ways you’re using MySQL as a queue, and how it COULD bite you IF you use poor schema design NOT optimized for YOUR workload".

MySQL queues work just fine with the recommendations Barron provides himself "1) avoid polling; 2) avoid locking 3) avoid mixing queue and archive tables".

Just curious, how did you get a videotape?

I wish I had an "Oh boy, here comes a police officer" button, which records the entire event. But obviously there is no such device.

I'm terrified at the idea of pulling out a cameraphone during any police interaction, due to the possibility of being prosecuted / imprisoned for violating their expectation of privacy. I'm relatively poor, and no one really cares what happens to me, so I wouldn't be able to fight the courts.
This solution isn't necessarily terrible.

The only caveats are that of performance (with a traditional server I wouldn't worry about performance until you need to process hundreds of items per second, but on EC2 nodes that threshold is more near the range of dozens per second), and the need to regularly archive the "done" directory (cron solves this nicely).

...but why would you worry about these problems when other solutions like kestrel, beanstalk, and redis (my personal favorite) are equally easy to set up and understand?

And for that matter, how do you give multiple machines access to this workqueue?
I think 8-5 is actually 8 hours in the US: federal laws guarantee you an hour lunch break, just as in the UK. Of course, I imagine in a lot of start-ups that's ignored or perhaps doesn't even hold.

Playing speed changes over time, and the problem with continuous scroll is that musicians often need to look away from the music -- at their hands, feet, at other musicians or the conductor -- and if the music has moved in the meantime, it is disorientating and not useful. That's why a page-based model is still the only way to work, even when you think a scrolling model is more efficient.
Why don't publishers put multiple ads on a long single-page article, such that the number of ads served is equivalent?

On Windows, this issue is a hell of a lot more complicated than "if you don't like it, maybe you should turn smoothing on."

Some users dislike ClearType intensely (and that would include your humble narrator.) Turning ClearType off via a Windows system setting is no problem, but for some incomprehensible reason, IE9 ignores this, and always renders with ClearType enabled. For this reason and others, some users including myself use Firefox.

Firefox 5 didn't behave that way, but for some even stranger reason Mozilla adopted IE's approach in Firefox 6. You will get Cleartype-smoothed HTML text in Firefox, whether you want it or not, unless you use an about.config hack to turn smoothing off entirely.

I've heard FF7 is reverting this "improvement" but haven't tried it yet.

YaCart.com - Macro Photography 
Macro means mega or very large. Macro photography means shooting large photos. It does not mean that the size of your photo has to be large but it means that the subject in the photograph has to be large. In short, taking close up photos of the subject is referred to as macro photography. The ratio in macro photography to shot the subject closely has to be 1:1.

Watch out for the 32,000 subdirectory limit. If your job tickets are complex enough to be implemented as a directory instead of a file, you'll get bitten by this (the number of files in a directory is only limited by the number of inodes in the entire filesystem).

If you are really lucky, and your tickets only need to represent a single piece of data (some sort of ID for example), you can just use the name of the file itself for the data storage and deal only with empty files. Because this only uses a single inode/block, it represents the best case scenario for speed and scalability in terms of the number of tickets which can accumulate before you need to archive. But more likely, you are going to have to worry about ticket namespace collisions (unless you have some sort of "set" like requirement where each ID can only be in the queue once at a time) which means you are using something like mktemp to create the file and then storing the ID inside the file.

Another key is to make sure you create new jobs in a "staging" dir, and then mv them into the "in" dir. Otherwise you have a race condition between your queuing system and whatever creates the tickets.

Here's a basic layout: /stage, /in, /active, /done. Some process on your system creates a ticket (which could be a single file or a dir) in /stage and then moves it into /in. This wakes up your queue, which moves it to /active when it starts processing it, and then moves it to /done and moves on to the next ticket in /in.

Another nice thing this gives you is that recovering from a crash / unclean state amounts to running ls on /stage, /in, and /active.
If your queues are getting that backed up, you're either facing bigger problems than your queueing system (most likely workers being down), or you're big enough to afford more machines and/or a custom solution (such as kestrel).

(Different topic, out of curiosity.) Why bother protesting anything at all?

I mean, we're both smart people. Surely we agree that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aT9p36fgHU#t=3m35s indicates the police can do whatever they want, and nobody really cares except the victim.

And there's really nothing to do about it, or any way to change it. Nobody cares about protests except the protesters.

I wish it weren't that way, but, given that things are that way, then why bother fighting?

Another real-life need for pages (and page numbers) is for easy reference in rehearsals. You don't want to wait while 100 people figure out how to scroll to a given point without common reference points (although, yes, bar numbers would work, too).

Parenting is off topic in a thread about family responding to a post about parenting? I don't think so.

Actually, I was reacting more to the triteness of the thread than to the OP. But it's pretty clear that the OP is imbued with much the same values. In fact, the author is making a case for them. Why else call it a "manifesto"? The thing is, the case is -- as it always is -- lined up on the side of love, nurturing, and what-really-matters-in-life. Stuff nobody could reasonably oppose. Which means that, whatever the argument is, there must be something wrong with it. If it were correct, it wouldn't exist.
I've had a few friends and myself go through this. What generally happens is Google flounders and fails. They are extraordinarily bad at launching products and even worse at building momentum. Kind of like Microsoft really... I guess its something to do with getting to big, to much bureaucracy.

Its more or less a validation of your product, and probably won't hurt your product if its already got momentum. Hell even gmail hasn't even toppled Yahoo or hotmail and most would agree its Googles second strongest product.

If you don't have momentum however you're screwed. People won't take you seriously and if you need backing or help its going to damage you. This happened to me last year, I have a fully completed product ready to go live, I just hung back and waited for Google to nose dive. I think I'll launch in a few months as I have another project I want to finish first.

If they get a foot hold as they did with maps, you're stuffed. I had a group of friends running mapping companies similar to google maps, but years before hand. One company doesn't exist any more, another moved into a support structure and has managed to survive.. but its not really what the people wanted to do... its what they had to become to survive.

The thing about Google is you have no chance of competing as they release products below production costs by shifting money around. You can't compete. but like I said Google is full of fail ... launching around 1000 products a year... seems every 2-3 years they have one that actually works...

It emphasizes separating logic from presentation: it is impossible to embed application logic in this template language.

StringTemplate for C++ then. http://www.stringtemplate.org/

Its distinguishing characteristic is that it strictly enforces model-view separation unlike other engines. Strict separation makes websites and code generators more flexible and maintainable; it also provides an excellent defense against malicious template authors.
Might be not 'architecture' but I think that it's a flaw so fundamental which should not even be there in the first place.

It's not that I care about the time; I'm not so close to the margin that it really matters whether I get paid this month or next month.

The thing which annoys me is that I get paid promptly... after I nag. And it seems that 50% of the time, if I don't nag, I don't get paid at all. (I once had an invoice go unpaid for 6 months because I lost track of which ones were still outstanding. Invoices I sent to the same client in March, April, May, and June had been paid, but the invoice I sent in February hadn't.)
I have a discussion board that I've run for over ten years. While I'm not as invested in running it anymore, the reason I keep it online and active and maintained is because it contains within it the narrative histories of a group of people. These histories have ended up in marriages, babies, deaths and friendships.

I think people don't often consider text on screen to be as meaningful as it is.

Certainly if I were Netflix I would be thinking along those lines. Clearly the move to lock in some original content was part of the game here. The 'learning' that has to happen for the big content folks is the difference between 'some money' and 'no money.' Hopefully Netflix will help educate them in that regard.

That's a good point about the suburbs. Indeed a major part of it. I've seen grad student family residences like you describe, too. They were great. Kids running around randomly all over the place.

My eight-year old niece lives across an alley from her school, but isn't allowed to walk to school. There might be a car going down the alley! The irony is that she is a brilliant strategic and tactical thinker about whom the running joke is that she's already engaged in a project of world domination. As my wife put it: this kid could organize the assault on Dieppe, how can she not cross an alley?

The best example I have handy is some Scala code a student I worked with wrote in Scala. I'm not sure if this is necessarily compatible with the latest version of their parser combinator library, but is hopefully suggestive:

"pred", "iszero", "let", "in", "fst", "snd")

| SimpleTerm(base)
| failure("illegal start of term"))

def SimpleTerm(base: Parser[Term]): Parser[Term] = positioned(
(("\\" ~> ident <~ ".") into (x => Parser { in =>

def body(arg: Term): ParseResult[Term] = Term(Identifier(x) ^^^ arg | base)(in)

body(new Term {}) match {
case Success(_,rest) => Success(Lambda(x, (arg) => body(arg).get), rest)
case f => f
}
}))

| base
| failure("illegal start of simple term"))

def BaseTerm: Parser[Term] = positioned(

Why do you say that here?
Thank you. Good to know that I'm not alone...

Unfortunately, whether it's due to the societal environment or maybe some of my guilt for not feeling like the perfect Dad that desperately wishes to spend every waking seconds with his kids is transpiring but my 5-yo son floored me today.

When I kindly refused to play with him on the computer, explaining that I was tired after a very long day and that, beside, we were heading out in the next 10 minutes he replied with a tone clearly aimed at inspiring guilt: "But Daddy, you're supposed to take care of your kids..."

Let me add right now that I do spend a healthy amount of time with my kids, just like any reasonably involved parent of 2 in a family of 2 working adults.

His plea was not a cry for attention, I assure you.
