Yeah, perhaps the cause of my depression might be being pushed into programming from a very young age. Just like people in ballet/gymnastics, I was kind of expected to write C++ code when I was 11 even though I rarely enjoyed coding/solving algorithms.
And the customers will have to pay for that.
Just looking at the stuff on my desk, the only things Dennis Ritchie has not directly or indirectly contributed to are two photos, a pair of scissors, a screwdriver and a salami.

Cellphone? Check. Harddisks? Screens? USB devices? TAN generator? Wacom tablet? Applet remote? Mac mini? MacBook Pro? Camera? Check, check, check.

Thanks, Dennis Ritchie, for helping to create the foundations of computing as we know it.
Hi, I'm a developer on PythonAnywhere. Just a quick message for anyone that's interested to check it out - when you sign up for the beta, you'll get an automated email from me, or one of the other developers, which asks a few questions.

Basically we're just trying to start a conversation! Send us a cheery message, and we'll zap you over an invitation sharpish.
I just started laughing after reading this article but I mean no disrespect.

It's an inane story about a man that takes a photo for some tourists.

Take a step back. I know many consider him your hero but he was a human being. It should not be surprising or interesting that Steve did normal things.

It's very interesting to me how society both elevates leaders and then humanizes them while adding modern societies virtues. It reminds me of how heroic and chivalric virtues were mixed into Arthurian literature.

I'd love to read a parody. Perhaps there could be a set of parables with Steve doing normal human things which represent modern human virtues.

This is a thing that Python badly needs; especially for callback-heavy frameworks like Twisted. Unfortunately, the proposed syntax seems deeply un-Pythonic to me (to be fair, it's based on decorators whose syntax is also deeply un-Pythonic).

The most natural syntax I've ever seen proposed for this features is a trailing "where:" like this:

x = ((p + q) / r, (p - q) / r) where:
p = -b
q = sqrt(b*b - 4*a*c)
r = 2*a

Unfortunately, that choice was nixed because of a fear that people would expect "where" to behave like SQL's "where". The second best English word would be "having", which fails the same test, and I can't really think of any more. :(

We ported Diaspora to use an XMPP backend (the Buddycloud backend). It was a nice proof of concept: https://github.com/bnolan/diaspora-x2

The new Buddycloud web client is basically that taken "to the max". You log in with your XMPP account, the Buddycloud channel server handles the channel pubsub, and the rest is plain XMPP federation.

I think this will resonate with a lot of developers. We all start out tinkering with computers on our own and the idea of getting paid to do it sounds like a dream. Then you realize the reality, that it is far far from it.

You have to strike it out on your own and build the dream workplace for yourself. It's not easy but you can take pride in accomplishing it.

I would very much like to know this, too. As much as I see the value of being able to ask wolfram alpha stuff, my first thought when I saw the Siri presentation was, if "Turn Airplane/Silent Mode (Wifi,3G,...) on/off!" works. That would add a lot of value to it, as that would make the phone really "hands free". Furthermore I would not have to remember the insane amount of dialogs one sometimes has to go through, just to reach a certain setting (which is probably why there are so many apps that do nothing but turn features/settings on and off).

Well, I am 30 and I had some freedom in my childhood growing up in a (European) city but mostly under some sort of "supervision", if only playing in our garden instead of at the park with the other kids. I never had this group and social thing in my play time, nor any of those big-adventure-like undertakings you described and never done any "mischief", so you could say I did not enjoy such a huge/healthy amount of freedom and I didn't take it for myself.

I have never been a group person all my life, I am mostly alone, especially since I moved to another country and city and it is hard for me to relate to other people or feel comfortable in a crowd or really enjoy going to a pub or going out. I am suffering from (at times severe) depression and anxiety.

FAO: Matt Cutts - Google Panda / Daniweb / False Positives
Hi Matt!

After seeing the recent recovery on DaniWeb for the second time and some admission that it was a case of false positive re Panda (It must have been to get white listed within hours of the big news sites reporting it right?) I wanted to bring to your attention my IT forum http://www.computer-juice.com/forums/

It’s been hit hard by at least 2 Panda updates and if DaniWeb doesn’t fit the bill then in my opinion I can’t see how I do. We share the same niche and we both run vbulletin amongst other similarity's.

I think the community deserves to know why good, clean, within guideline websites continue to tank under the Panda algo.

Wasn't it designed to hit mass content farms, using (but not limited to) automated means to generate their content. ehow / answers.com / etc type sites, with millions of pages for almost every query imaginable.

Either we are all doing something wrong or Google is. Can you get back to me if possible, re my website and the web in general.

Apologies too, I'm not normally this much of a stalker :D, just livelihoods are at stake here. It's been months and nothing seems to help me recover.

Regards

A device for electronic-hacking that allows me to use screens removed from Nintendo DS or Playstation Portable or some smart phones (probably iPhone because of ease of getting them) over USB. A bit like (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/bfa3/) but not insanely expensive.

There are very many dead laptops with working displays. Something that allows people to use those as a secondary display (even though they're going to have to work to rip out the display and stick it into a case / bezel) would be good.
I think the one of the worst things the US ever invented was the 24hour news channel. People are constantly bombarded with events that are further away and repeated more often. Producers are trying to fill a 24 hour slot with news which means they have to pump up whats there, travel further, and constantly loop the material.

Even though crime is statistically lower than it's ever been people feel less safe because of media induced paranoia.

But do you think that moving to a small village to give children the opportunity to play outside will outweigh the disadvantages of living in such a village? I grew up in a small village and I feel like I missed out on a lot because of it:

- Only limited access to like-minded children (i.e., rather nerdy people who like to actually design and properly build tree houses rather than putting together some old sheets and then move into 'let's attack the tree hut' mode)

- Access to intellectually stimulating activities

- A proper library (maybe less important with the internet nowadays)

- Role models who aren't factory workers or construction workers (nothing wrong with them, but being exposed to a variety of role models is the key - I didn't really get the concept of an office job until I was in my early teens).

I have no desire to move back to such an environment, and even less desire to let my daughter grow up in it. Not saying that cities are perfect either, just that I don't think the advantages of villages outweigh the disadvantages.

mid 20s, uk.

I, along with my younger bro & sis and friends, had to be back in by dark and rarely had to say where we were going. sometimes we'd go off on bike rides well out of the city or even take a small boat we found and row/motor it around the rivers(tamar/tavy) (no safety equipment, repaired it ourselves, hilariously overloaded). fires, explosions, trespass, "base"/bunker/dam building, tree-climbing, ragging my donated scrambler in wasteland, etc were all regular activities.

Now I see my other bro and sis (~10yrs younger than I) and they always have homework or are on their laptops. my youngest brother used to go with us sometimes when he was ~4 so he knows what "play" is but none of his friends want or are allowed to join him.
Not really but a crises or recession is typically when the no longer needed employees are laid of. As long as the times are good, people are willing to hire more than they nedd and unwilling to fire those they don't need.

When the times turn bad, they can no longer afford the luxurery and the companies fire all those they can - which are more than those who have recently been made obsolete, essentially it is everybody who has been made obsolete or redundant since the last crises.

The last crises was in the early 00, which means that everybody who has been made redundant between then and now are being fired in the current crises.

If you recall how the internet was back then and compare it with how it is today, and you can start to see just how large a productivity increase we should be able to see.

You could perhaps use OkCupid's My Best Face (http://www.okcupid.com/mybestface) for this.

The only things different than what you asked for are 1) people aren't directly comparing one photo with the other and 2) the people doing the judging are looking at you with under the lens of dating (which I think would be okay in this use case.)

Also, saying that it would probably need to be "ad supported" suggests that you might not be willing to pay for it, though.
The only real limitation you bring up is not being able to take a photo (I'd add reading email as well, not just texts). But there's no reason Siri has to maintain its current capabilities.

Have you read reviews of people struggling with limitations? Also, Siri offers a list of suggested tasks it can perform from the iPhone itself, based on the videos I've seen.

"Siri, on the other hand, feels limitless. It’s fuzzy, and fuzzy on purpose. There’s no way to tell what will work and what won’t. You must explore. I found it extremely fun to explore Siri — primarily because so many of the things I tried actually worked." -Daring Fireball

Well, I don't know… I feel that as soon as I mention Pascal or BASIC I am downvoted to oblivion.

The original Macintosh was programmed in assembler. As was MS-DOS and Windows up to version 3.1 (perhaps even in important parts in Win95?). The big boom of computing and the GUI had already happened. In the late 80s Turbo Pascal was really popular:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(programming_language)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal

For GUI programming there was (and is) the Pascal dialect Delphi:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarcadero_Delphi

What would the world look like if C would have been never invented? I guess our browsers would simply be coded in Turbo Pascal dialect.

And Visual Basic is still huge (#12 on langpop.com). Also someone could reasonably argue that from the concept and ideas SmallTalk and Lisp were way more influential than C.

That said, I feel a bit dirty to make this argument. Dennis Ritchie should be praised for his accomplishments.
If your ok wearing a pager Amazon is the best place to get the scaling experience on your resume. They put college hires on giant SDE mission critical systems with no training, because they dont have senior engineers. Except the highest engineers that do not get swapped out and need not comply with schedules. My friend works there. He is always either love it or hate it. He likes most of other programmers but a lot are really bad coders. The technology is cool but the management is clueless and stupid, they cant tell good code and they make up schedules all the time. My friend laughs at production code and code reviews. The managers like the worst programmers the best because they are biased for action and don't care if they push out stuff that breaks as long as they dont get the ticket or get credit for fixing it later. The manager is a huge fat guy who always talks about the meeting with Jeff Bezos and makes them go to socialize with recruits. Their softwares were copied from some other Amazon project and most of the engineers spend their time trying to put out fires for "Jabba" because it is so bad. I interviewed there and got an offer from the fat guy who told me it was more exciting than my other offer because the other guys just doing reporting and data. But I want to do that and data-driven analysis. Amazon says that its data-driven but the boss says it's boring?

C programmers still have to deal with manual
memory management...

Manual memory management is still required because of our current reality. A garbage collector for instance creates a fake reality, one in which you deal with memory as if it is unlimited and extremely fast. This simply does not work for system software. It is possible and it's a romantic notion too, but just as with micro-kernels, people kind of fake it (as in, putting lipstick on a pig) otherwise you're not getting anything useful done.

I do hate Unix operating systems, but the alternatives are much worse. I also liked this quote from the article:
