There is something unique about tablets like iPad, which is tough to understand. When Steve Jobs released it, he emphasized that this was a major event. However at the time, it looked like a overblown iPhone. Personally for me, there are days when i never miss using my iPad, but without PC i cannot do even for few hours.

That said, i still feel that there is something i don't understand of this device. Something which old-guards like steve and gates, who have seen it happening once, feel about it and how its going to bring in some big changes in future. Hat's off to Ballmer to call in the right person for task.

Or you could simply point out that a lot of companies failed because Microsoft sucked the air out of the OS market after IBM foolishly licensed DOS from them under non-exclusive terms. If IBM had bought DOS outright (or bought CP/M) the IBM PC would probably have been a successful integrated hardware+software business (actually it was, but it would probably have lasted longer) like so many others. Even without owning DOS, IBM tried to block clones, but its BIOS was too small a barrier to entry. It's actually Microsoft that's the big exception.
Are there any commitments that you can put on pause? Maybe you can't just drop the project, but if you aren't going to have time to work on it for a month, then officially delay it for a month so it's at least off your mind.
The claim made is that between 6 and 100 might develop cancer if the machines are working as designed. However, we have no reason to believe the machines are calibrated correctly or working correctly. The TSA workers aren't wearing radiation detectors nor are the people going through the machines nor is there any independent outside party systematically or randomly checking the machines. So if one machine malfunctioned such that it was generating too much radiation (which according to the article we have reason to believe happens sometimes) it might conceivably give cancer to thousands or tens of thousands of people before anybody noticed.

Hey, remember when the security folk used to tell you that x-ray screening didn't damage film? That was an outright lie, but they said it anyway because it was convenient. So I get that the manufacturer claims the number who'd get cancer today is from 6-100; what I don't get is why you'd choose to believe that claim.
It sounds like the problem is a boss who knowingly asks you to work on projects on your own time. The rest of the example story sounds like a poorly run, passive aggressive workplace.

Yea, but my point stands that something like Redmine would fulfill your requirements and be open source. It has a wiki that is tied into the Git repo, and a (better) issue tracking system, and browser access to source, etc.

I guess I'm just missing why an Enterprise would spend $$$ when they can get everything they need without $$$. Then again, I'm not a bean counter and I guess I just don't understand how budgets work. :/
At 500+ mil users with an average of 150 connections, you're looking at 500,000,000 * 150 / 2 = 3.75e10 edges. Assuming generously that each edge can be stored with a 4 byte unsigned int, you're looking at about 140 GB. I haven't seen any scrapes that even come CLOSE to that, an that's ignoring throttling and privacy controls.

Edit: more likely, you'd get the data as (id1, id2) pairs with 8 byte longs for each id. That's about 600 GB.
By definition a proof of concept video is not a concept video because the concept video predates the proof of concept video.

> You seem to suggest that money is

> a better motivator than reputation

Nothing I wrote suggested that in any way. You are reading a message into my words that simply isn't there. Rather, just the opposite: the top experts on WPQuestions.com have often written to me and said that the reputation that they gained on WPQuestions.com is worth far more to them than the money. More so, when they talk about WPQuestions.com on their own personal sites, they do so to advertise the fact that they have public reputation that is established on WPQuestions.com. Consider what Denzel Chia, our top expert, say about us on his own site:

http://denzelchia.com/

"This is where I answer questions and get paid! Most of my clients came from here!"

Clearly, his reputation on the site matters to him, it's not wholly a matter of the money that he earned, it's also he's proud of the work he did and he wants people to go and look at how knowledgeable he is.

Same with Ivaylo Draganov, who links to his profile on my site from his site: http://druuf.com/

Same with the others, the top experts who link to the site from their own sites, which several of them have: http://www.wpquestions.com/user/winners/order/desc/

I don't think money is more powerful than reputation as a motivator, but I do think the 2 of them together can be combined in powerful ways, perhaps so powerful that people sometimes find the implications unsettling.

I do understand what you mean when you write:

> I just hope that you have managed to tailor the site to avoid the problems that money can bring

That's why the money is distributed by a vote. So that people can give public recognition to what they think was a good answer. All votes on the site are public, so if you vote $10 to what you thought was a really good answer, everyone on the site sees that you are voting $10 to that answer. It's a form of applause: a way of saying "Well Done". But votes carry more weight when they are backed up with money, rather than just being votes for something like reputation points. Or rather, votes carry more weight when they impact real world events, as opposed to those situations where they only impact a system of relations that only exist on a single web site. There are a lot of systems of voting in the world, and some impact upon real world events. Basing voting on money on a site is a way of tying the voting on that site to concerns that are important in the wider world.

As to the overall amount paid, it has apparently worked out pretty well for a number of the top experts. I cover the details in this old video from November of 2010:

We learn to read before we learn to write well. Why do we start out writing programs?

I've always thought programming classes should start with reading and understanding a program that has some loops, assignments, etc. Maybe a program that draws some shapes or parses/prints some strings. Then have students modify it some. Then afterward, start writing your own stuff from scratch.

I'm a big outposken critic of Google, I've disliked them for a long time. But IMO I see no wrong here. If your business relies on Google to survive you don't have a good business, you need to do some introspection and reevaluate your business.

The update was beneficial to the interest of Google users. Those users aren't forced to use Google.

And even though Google is huge and gets great boons because of its size, it is also on a knife edge that could come toppling down because of a technological break through, or advertising collapse. In all respects Facebook is big enough to force that to happen (at least on an advertising front), but it could always come from an unexpected area as well.

(granted that a technological breakthrough seems doubtful, but often thats where the biggest surprises emerge)

I don't think you are (a programmer).

From the article:

"Programmers are guys and girls that can take real-world problems, that can analyze those problems and that use that analysis to come up with a way to improve the world, usually in an incremental but sometimes in a revolutionary manner by solving those problems (hopefully) once and for all."

You are a systems analyst. The difference (to me at least) is that a programmer solves the presented problem by writing a program, a systems analyst solves the problem by tuning or refactoring the system. Sometimes all that takes is programming, but sometimes it takes more than that, a new data base schema, a different partitioning of roles of machines participating in the solution, user education, or even getting the rules of the game changed.

Surely, you are not suggesting that a proof of concept video implies the existence of a concept video.
As a student (in user experience/computer engineering) I enjoy these concept videos, and they help me get inspiration for future projects. Companies that release them are much more likely to be viewed in a positive light by me, and I'd much rather work for a company with a creative mindset than some company that I feel is behind. This is a great way to communicate with future employees.

It's also an inspiration for the various design challenges/competitions that some of those companies do.

That's a great guide, but it's missing some crucial details, I think.

The Mission looks seedier the further north you go, but the crime rate is actually higher in the south. Don't live on Capp St. in the Mission; it's known for stabbings and prostitution. In the 'loin, once you get above Geary, things get nicer rapidly (as it's between the Tenderloin and Nob Hill, it gets the appellation "Tendernob"), but I wouldn't live south of Sutter St.

Hunters' Point in the far southeast is about the worst place in the city to be or be near, but I'm told Silver Terrace (between 101 and 280) isn't too bad.

30th St. is not the southern end of the city. There are (from West to East):

Lake Merced (far from everything)
Park Merced (just south of the central Sunset, not TOO bad a walk from the L streetcar)
Ocean View, Stonestown, and Ingleside (I don't know anything about them other than that the K and M streetcars run there)
West of Twin Peaks/West Portal (nice area at the end of the Eureka Tunnel, kinda like Noe Valley, but with decent public transit)
Balboa Park (has BART and freeway access, but not a great neighborhood)
Excelsior/Outer Mission (like the Mission, but less convenient, worse food, and whiter)
Mission Terrace and Cayuga Terrace (like a suburban subdivision in the middle of the south of the city, but more convenient to food. The J runs right next to it)
Glen Park (north of Mission Terrace, it has BART, 280, and is slightly less seedy than Balboa Park; technically it has the J too, but that's really kind of a stretch since you have to walk over 280 to get there. The northern parts of Glen Park run into the south end of Noe Valley)
Silver Terrace (see above)
Hunters' Point (see above)
Profit margins should be expected to be proportionate to illegality : Since the threat of punishment forces vibrant competition out of the market.

Similarly, one can track the effectiveness of the war on drugs by looking at the street prices of drugs over time. If the war was effective, prices would be rising. Unfortunately, basic economic theory shows that the war on drugs is a complete failure.

1. Everything in Python and every function returns a value, but that method just happens to be None if you don't explicitly return. You could probably pretty trivially implement a class that wraps an object and returns the object itself if one of its methods returns None.

2. Python has list comprehension, iterators, and generators, which also allow you to loop without for loops or explicit indexing

3. Python also has lots of web frameworks/libraries.

4. Are you saying the Python community is not (as) innovative?

I'm not saying this project is completely without merit. I know that many people prefer Ruby's syntax and preferences to those of Python. But I think it is disingenuous (and somewhat insulting to Python developers) to claim that this project has any potential benefit beyond allowing Rubyists to do scientific computation in their preferred language.

It's an interesting idea, but I disagree:

I think you remember things much easier if you write them out (and have to make them compile/execute) yourself. If I read some code in a language I haven't encountered before, I find I don't absorb any of the little details of syntax.

Moreover, I think it makes sense to expose learners to the fun of programming early. And to me that means seeing something that you wrote running.

I don't really follow. How did Microsoft suck the air out of the OS market? By being successful? That seems like a rather convenient definition for you. You blame the failure of hardware+software on the success of Microsoft's software-only approach. It actually seems we agree on the facts. You just somehow cast this in a negative light.

I could likewise argue that Apple has "sucked the air" out of the smartphone market. That didn't stop Android from taking the lead from Apple.

If not, what definition of "socially irresponsible" are you using?

/usr is a relic of the times when unix systems were big hulking monsters the side of fridges. and hard disks the size of washing machines. You kept a separate /, /var, /usr, /home, etc because you had a lack of space and because disks kept crashing.

That's no longer the case. Even for the largest 4096cpu numa system you just throw the entire OS on one partition, with a separate home/data disk.

I'm sure the developers have some neckbeard reason why it has to be /usr and not / but surely user friendliness is not it.
