Yeah, I agree there are situations where if it's you making the decisions, you should ask questions like that. I'm mostly interested in the structural causes, though, because I think encouraging people to have more ethics in business tends to be like whack-a-mole, if you don't also tackle the structural reasons that it's even possible for someone to extract persistent large profits from a situation.
That's because it considers your account low-security until you enable two-factor authentication, which having a phone with SMS allows. The number isn't to fill out your profile, and has nothing to do with privacy settings. Facebook takes security very seriously, and it would be better for everyone's safety if everyone set up two-factor, just like having everyone around you vaccinated is better for you.
always a good idea to already insult your reader in the second sentence...
Yes, but library sharing with non iTunes/Apple box is no easy pie. Backup and transfer too are a pain in the ass - but well it is not like it happen everyday. And that without even speaking of his weight, which seem to grow with each minor version for no good reason. So while it is (for me) a good tool to organise and browse my library, it's limitation can be irritating, more often than not.
I've seen counterfeit Canadian money. You can buy it in bulk from people at a discount to the face value...

Many retailers in Canada have signs saying they'll refuse to take $100 bills (probably the reason for the recent roll-out of new $100 bills).

While I appreciate the intent of your article, I think the title is regrettable and obscures the real distinction you were going for. There should never be a distinction between "good code" and "good software."

The Software Craftsmanship movement has been having this discussion for a while, i.e., assessing the costs of bad code and making those costs visible to the stakeholders. You might find it worthwhile to engage that conversation.

I should probably point out that snobbery is very far from the actual attitude towards Tennenbaum, at least as far as logicians are concerned. For example, in 2006 there was a conference organised to celebrate his contribution to mathematical logic.

http://mamls.org/Tennenbaum

I recently attended a workshop devoted entirely to Tennenbaum's Theorem, his famous result that the only recursive model of PA is the standard model.

I found a job with a startup that didn't have an office, it made the work from home option pretty much default.

Then, after not too long, I got sick of it and got a job in an office, its not for everyone.. now I do get to work from home 1 day a week which is nice but I couldn't handle doing it everyday
I dispute the idea that marriage stability in and of itself is a metric we should seek to maximize. Some marriages should end in divorce.

All that you're really doing is showing that one form of social conservatism is correlated to another form of social conservatism. That doesn't actually illustrate anything.

Also, it's not even a correlation between orthogonal variables. Presumably, if you're already in a stable marriage for a longer period of time, there was less time for you to have premarital sex in the first place.
Yes he's not up there with the top guys in understanding, but I'm sure that not only does he know that it should be spelled kaon, but that he also knows what a koan is.
This is great! And the best part is, this sort of "visual math" is applicable to every single field of mathematics; by visualizing every equation you come across, you'll find that you eventually gain a crisp (and often intuitive) understanding of the math.

For example: when I think of "x times y", I picture a rectangle whose sides are lengths x and y respectively; so naturally, the area of the rectangle is x times y.

Next time you come across an equation similar to "(x0 + x1)(y0 + y1)", you might try picturing it like this: http://content.screencast.com/users/shawnpresser/folders/Jin... ... you'll discover all kinds of interesting things. E.g., Karatsuba noticed that (x0y1 + x1y0) can be computed as follows: "Find the area of the entire rectangle (x0 + x1)(y0 + y1); then subtract the area of the purple rect (x1y1); then subtract the area of the gray rect (x0y0); thus giving the answer." This was a major breakthrough in mathematics at the time, because it meant you could calculate the product of two arbitrarily large integers with N digits in less than N-squared time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karatsuba_algorithm (and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/315/books/Karatsuba%20Algorithm%20%2... was his original paper).

Another random example: Have you ever played the game "pipe dream", where you have to connect the pipes together before the liquid fills them up and spills out? Well... the way I visualize "integrating a function" is: imagine the graph of the function. Now start "filling up the graph" from left to right --- just like Pipe Dream. The answer is: the total volume of the "liquid" above the zero line, minus the volume below the zero line. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Integral_...)

Visualization tricks are a great way to get a "gut feeling" about "what does this equation actually mean? e.g., how might I relate the equation to some real-world (or imaginary-world) phenomenon?" ... you just have to be careful that your visualization is exactly equivalent to the mathematics, since an inaccurate visualization would throw off your intuition.
I guess I don't understand - is this meant to be an object lesson or warning to people against using the wrong tool for a given application?

The author self-identifies their problem as: "The problem I have is processing a lot of data quickly"

Clearly, then, don't use node. But why write a blog post about not using something? A post involving a lesson learned ("I tried using node for processing a lot of data quickly, and it was terrible!") would have been more valuable.

I fully offer up the idea that I may have missed the point.

That may not be the stated purpose, but i am 100% certain they use it for profiling purposes aswell.

What you say is true, but if you really think about it, if you are going to have this work lifestyle its probably best to be doing it yourself (running your own startup) as why should you, or anyone, work 18 hours straight for an employer? I look at it as that the company knows they may not get optimal coding productivity out of someone who works in the office but they take this into account and it leads to work-life balance. If you want to work non-stop then at least put yourself in a situation to benefit from it directly.
I've been using MPD (+ mpc, ncmpcpp, ario) for a long time now (several years). There is one thing that I miss from my iTunes usage: the party mix. It was an awesome tool (at least back in iTunes v4 to v6) and I was really always in there.

Basically what I want is to be able to tell my player "randomly select songs in this playlist/folder/…" and then that it shows me at some place the last 5 or 10 songs played and the next 20 to play, and let me remove songs I don't wanna listen to right now from this "songs-to-play" list, and then refill the list up to 20 songs. This way I can repeat the operation a few times and know that I have at least an hour of aweome music to come.

I know I could script that up for MPD, even with just MPC and Bash (and Zenity for the cozyness), but I'm a lazy guy and I can almost reproduce the behavior with the shuffle command of MPD. You know, the worst ennemy of "great" is "good enough".
I expect that the Google Voice app will support this soon. What I really don't understand is why they didn't implement something similar for SMS. Google Voice SMS is nice, but the separate app for it is problematic.
It's likely that, being 30 years old, it was outdated and replaced by a newer secret structure anyway.

The whole article seems to hinge on the following line:
"For every five people who authorize an app, I'd guess five will turn away..."

The author doesn't seem to have any data to back this statement up so I'd put this in the bucket with the rest of the "OMG FACEBOOK" hyperbole that I've been seeing of late.

To add in my personal experiences, I haven't added any of these apps and I'm trying not to. Since this is just a guessing game, I'd wager that the tech community and people who understand the implications of these services would be more hesitant to authorize these apps but Facebook users at large probably don't care and just click through to the article.

So is this a growing pain or a sign that Facebook will soon fall? This reminds me of back when search engines were just full of keyword stuffing related spam or when MySpace turned into a hangout for creeps and everyone's profile looked like a GeoCities site from 1997.

Frictionless sharing is good in theory but the execution is annoying and the posts it generates are not relevant to you more often than not. The way I see it they can go in one of two directions: they can tell the collective user base to suck a fat one and "get used to it, you'll learn to like it" or they can modify frictionless sharing in a way that decreases annoyances like app installs and only shows you stuff that's relevant to what you want to see. That way they can move forward with this cool idea and just perfect it instead of back pedaling and looking somewhat bad.

Facebook already has the capability to do so much more than what it seems on the face of it. I wish I remembered the link but they have this piece of JavaScript that can show you who you've been Facebook stalking. To me that's impressive, maybe I'm kind of an a,after for thinking that way. The point is that they have the tools and the skill to. Perfect the frictionless system just like Google was able to rid itself of spam for the most part and become known as the one search engine that provided truly relevant results. Let's hope they go that way. I don't really like Facebook but I wish them success anyway.
Like the OP article speculates that structure was.
Is there an non-iTunes equivalent to iTunes' Genius? Most of my music listening tends to be of the "I feel like listening to song X and a bunch more like it" and Genius is perfect for that.

Troll. Post made no sense and came to no conclusion.

"The content server should not need to do hardly any IO. Why would an HTML content server need to write to the filesystem?"

This just shows a blatant lack of knowledge about what constitues IO. FYI, network is IO, writing to console is IO, logging is IO. The point of an evented system like node (and others based around the 'select' or 'epoll' type calls is that you can use one thread to do other things when you are waiting for the kernel to tell you your socket is ready.

Yes, I too get frustrated when 'front-end' people think they are systems engineers or super server coders, but that doesn't mean I am going to write a blog post that goes nowhere about it and completely misses the point of an evented system like this.
He claims that the difference between men's and women's interest in tech startups is not skewed enough to explain the skewed male/female ratio in the tech startup world. ("...all of the research I am aware of suggests that these differences are extremely small – not nearly big enough to explain what we’re observing in places like Y Combinator.")

It would have been nice if he'd cited the reseach which supports this claim.
the blog post is just retarded, you are right
The protesters should adopt this tactic widely: sit on the ground, link arms, and force the hand of the police: "pepper spray me, I dare you". The police are entitled, indeed obligated to arrest them, after all.

First off, "obligated" isn't a word. The word is "obliged".

Secondly, what do you mean "they should"? They already do. It's the number one move in the left-wing activist's playbook -- provoke the police until they use force, and then go play the victim card to the media.

Blame for the widespread nature of this tactic belongs partly with the protestors, and partly with the media who go along with it. Sensible people should reject this game, because it just makes life worse for everybody.

You got pepper-sprayed? Diddums, mate, that's exactly what you wanted to happen.

The Tea Party proved that you can have a mass protest movement that doesn't get in the way of others, and doesn't break the law. Unfortunately it also proved that a nonviolent protest needs to be ten times larger than a violent protest in order to get the same amount of media attention.
He's a sales guy, and it's hard to overestimate just how much of Microsoft's revenue depends on sales relationships with big, big companies.
I didn't know about cancel. I guess the issue is why do we have to find out this way? It's not an expected behavior and that's going to piss a lot of people off. So there's an easy way to get what you want, it's staring you in the face, but we all ignore it because it looks as though it isn't going to do what we want. Not a good design but then again design is about choices and maybe they figured it's worth it to make people learn the hard way.

And who is going to investigate and prosecute this quite evident, probably felony property theft and damage (from the amount of theft and damages, if nothing else)?

If "law enforcement" is going to engage in this level of hypocrisy, they shouldn't wonder when they no longer garner any respect.

And those who "didn't do" this but continue to support the organizations that did, become ever more complicit.

Everyone in any field has had help or inspiration from others. I'm just not a fan fo Malcom calling this tweaking, its is demeaning to everyone who's ever done anything. If Steve Jobs just "tweaked" things and wasn't and inventor than what does that say about everyone else in the world?

Its easy to take shots at someone after the fact, the reality is that maybe he wasn't everything people thought he was. He might not have been a sweetheart to work with, in fact he may have been a jerk. But, lets not kid ourselves into believing he didn't do that much and was just some tweaker at Apple, I call BS. Apple was basically dead when he returned, dead. It must have been a little more than tweaking to make it the most successful company in the world.

You can also click on "Ad Swap" at the top of every single ad and choose what out of three choices you'd rather see. Honestly I don't see the problem with ads on Hulu Plus. I'm paying for additional licensing fees and being able to watch the videos on any device I own.
Nearly all the "stadium" seating theaters around me in Utah use numbered seating for every movie for at least it's first opening week, but they're largely all owned by one guy (well, his corporation, as he personally passed away a few years ago). It's more of a courtesy so larger families and groups can manage to pick up seats together, but it's still enforced if it needs to be.
Exactly, node is useful for solving problems that you don't have. So you wouldn't use node for them, then. The answer to your own question is your own statement.

Node makes it possible to do completely new things that would be difficult to do otherwise.

I take exception to this statement: "Node enthusiasts are front-end coders not wanting to do server coding." The number of engineers who only do server-side programming these days are few and far between. I haven't worked a job in the last 4 years where no one touched the frontend at some point or vice-versa. Sure, we usually have niches where we do the majority of our work, either front or backend. But at no point are they exclusive.

Node has been a blessing for me, as a frontend engineer, because I can finally code servers in the same mindset as I write client-side javascript. We (frontend folks) live in an asynchronous world. We eat parallel requests, xhr, and async callbacks all day. It turns out that when you apply those same concepts to the server, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
His biggest problem seems to be the "community". There's certainly some people doing projects in node who would probably benefit from doing it with something else. But to judge the framework by some "community" is silly. The node community seems friendly and helpful and have created a large library to help do things node is good at.
I'm guessing that a 40" tv is going to be lousy quality as a monitor.

Better would be to:-

* Get an eye test, and wear suitable glasses
* Get a GOOD monitor
* Use a good font; use a large font
* Use suitable lighting
* Take regular breaks
* Fix a mirror behind the monitor, so that you can allow your eyes to change focus every now and then.

If you don't need node than don't use it, and yes it's not for serving static pages, but more for interactive real-time web applications. And the part where he says that focusing on serving the HTML is less important because it's just 3% of the content seems flawed, because if serving html is slow then the other contents too will be loaded later (the HTML is what requesting them).
