Nice story, but I'm not going to try this.
If you're a man you don't want to negotiate with a woman: generally, as long as it's just words, women tend to win.

Men are basically wired that way and it actually makes us happy to have a relationship with a "difficult" woman—and by that I mean a woman who knows what she wants and a woman you can't take for granted, not the passive-aggressive complaint-filer difficult that many women are! However, as it happens, that sort of tension also engages a sexual dimension and, along with losing negotiations, that is something we don't want at work. Men usually can't simply fend off sexual tension so culturing it at work would make our days unnecessarily difficult, especially in these times when you might get into trouble for even flirting.

I can easily imagine it makes sense for a man to not even begin to negotiate with a woman and instead shrug her off as a pushy, difficult person. But I disagree with that men would want women that stayed a mom. They do want such women if they have the balls, but they want her in to bed. They don't want them in the office because that makes things a lot easier.

Get a 2nd job. For two years while I had a 100% telecommute job I worked as a white water raft guide and a ski instructor. They started as just on the weekend but before long I was working my 2nd job 4 days a week.

Incidentally, I did my best work when I was working the most rafting/skiing because life was great and on the 3 days I did my real job, I was completely focused because I had no time to mess around.
I don't know why, but this reminds me of this onion piece I read yesterday

Aside from the trip, what were the costs of this? That's something I'm considering doing...
Using your terms, it is an implementation distinction as well. You install G-Free, call 'make' to build any software, it comes out gadget free. You delete G-free, call make, it comes out with gadgets. With our prototype implementation for Linux and GCC, you don't need to touch gcc or gas or the linker or anything else. This is explained in the paper.

If you have a build system where the assembler and the compiler are bundled as a monolithic binary executable, then your argument may or may not hold.

EDIT: Just to clarify, 'make' was just an example. You can also directly call "gcc program.c" or "as anotherprogram.S" and G-Free does its job.
Its like your example, in some world where Smith & Wesson explicitly stated that their guns can only fire blanks. And then, of course, this armed robbery resulted in a gun death.
HasOffers is actually a self-service platform that handles the affiliate tracking aspect of running an affiliate program vs. a "full-service" firm like Commission Junction, LinkShare or Google Affiliate Network which will take a 20-30% cut on all sales.

Just wanted to clarify that it's really SEOMoz that does their own affiliate program essentially in-house using the HasOffers platform. (correct me if I'm wrong on this anyone from SEOMoz!)
LLVM actually still is a virtual machine, since it contains mechanisms for executing code written in LLVM IR. There are two execution paths - an interpreter and a JIT compiler. I guess this makes it a VM after all, although the acronym is no longer descriptive because the VM part is a tiny fraction of what LLVM includes and can do. As you said, its super-tool for creating compilers, especially compiler back-ends.
Intriguing. Sent you fellows an email.
They have accomplished getting widespread coverage of the findings. If they hadn't played the game, they would have reached less than 1% of their current audience. The facts wouldn't even have reached the internet-savvy, interested-in-the-world here, because they would only have noted an interesting organisation, but not payed attention to all their subsequent publishings.
I really think that we in the EU should start lobbying the EU Parliament and Commission to get a better environment for (especially web) startups. It will take time, but if we don't start doing that, it will take even longer...
Yeah. I said that. But is it likely? Who do we think we are that we think we're important enough to be spied on. I really doubt anyone cares what 99% of us are accessing. It's all about analyzing group thinking and behavior.

Speaking of group thinking, what's with this knee jerk reaction to stories like this? Everyone automatically gets outraged and they start repeating the same stale lines about the evil government and it's enslavement of us all.

Are you outraged because you really believe this threatens you or does it come out because that's the party line and god forbid the karma police downvote you.

Here's my point: none of this is either secret or new. I know it's cool to be anti government but WikiLeaks is no better with this sorry excuse for a "leak" and it's hefty helping of spin to further its own agenda. I'm not thrilled to know I'm being watched at all times but I'm also not self indulgent enough to believe that anyone gives a damn about me personally. Enough with the high and mighty talk about standing for freedom. People like to talk but in the end it's all verbal masturbation and in a few minutes we're all going to watch kitties do something cute on YouTube and forget about this whole thing. (Folks over in Europe are a bit more politically active so I must give them credit but here in the states we're a bunch of masturbators who like to talk shit and do nothing for the most part)
Whoopsie. I was unaware there was news on that front in the last 48 hours -- when I said "This side won", I meant "When drawing up the legislation twenty years ago."
Oh, I'm not saying you should give up. On the contrary, I wish you all the luck in the world in restoring sanity to your political and legal systems. I just think you're going to need to bring down the whole house of cards and start over to do it. Then again, given the current economic conditions and the kind of idiocy that results in obviously bought-and-paid-for legislation like what we're discussing here, if ever there was a chance to shake things up it's probably over the next cycle of elections.

I have a Galaxy S2, and it's a great phone, but why should I have to do that?

I can't get rid of bloat-ware or even stop it from running without rooting my phone and voiding my warranty. I don't have root access to a device I own, which seems bizarre if you think of it as a mobile computer.

Imagine the uproar if all Windows PCs now came with un-stoppable and uninstallable bloatware, and without admin/root privileges.

The best content came out of the Q&A at ~69m. A guy asked two questions: (1) how do you find the angle about what to publish content about and (2) when do you start publishing content to get inbound traffic?

Rand responded: He goes to topsy top 1000 [1], alltop [2] to find featured blogs that are getting the most buzz, Google Plus popular section, the subreddit most relevant to you, and followerwonk [3] to see what the top 100 twitter accounts in your industry are talking about

Basically, all of the above actions get you immersed in the market you're trying to penetrate and gives you an understanding of what will be of value to them. You can then use this information to generate content that will go viral.

Unfortionately, he didn't answer the second question :(

A Deadlock Holiday
If I am making a conscious decision to shut up every time a man and I start talking at the same time, then other women are engaging in even more extreme forms of self-censorship.

Ditto that. When I went to GIS school for two months, a two-thirds male field, in the last week I finally realized that most of the women sat in the last two rows at the back of class. A few women kind of floated around, sometimes in front, sometimes elsewhere. I was the only woman who consistently sat in the very front row. I was perceived of as extremely aggressive. I had not even noticed it until nearly the end of the program. I get into all kinds of hot water for thinking I'm just another person and behaving "just like anyone would (regardless of gender)" and having that interpreted as ultra aggressive. I strongly suspect that if I were male, much of my behavior would be interpreted as meek and mild-mannered.
Why do you have to be a devils advocate? And why does it have to be some nebulous "brain difference".

Men and Women are different. Period. Trying to ignore it gets you nowhere.

Embrace the difference and work on letting everyone be themself to the fullest.
The LLVM interpreter is less than ideal as an actual interpreter rather than something for doing constant folding and that kind of thing; the instructions are too low-level for it to be really fast. For example, bit widths of integers are represented in the abstraction; that adds overhead to even the simplest of arithmetic operations.
One of the contributing factors behind the US withdrawal from Iraq are some of the disclosures from Wikileaks. See http://www.salon.com/2011/10/23/wikileaks_cables_and_the_ira...
What conspiracy theory? None of this is even secret nor a leak! Any one of us could have gotten a lot of this by simply asking. We just don't because we have no need for it. Super top secret spy equipment that no one is supposed to find out about doesn't get sold with effing brochures! The guys in the marketing department probably knew all about this and they probably didn't even have or need a security clearance. This is nothing more than B2B marketing. Yeah they're really specialized and not really well known but it's still just everyday B2B marketing. I seriously can't believe the hype this is getting.
Code availability and development methodology are independent axes of sharing. One is sharing the output and the other is sharing responsibility.

Since you don't even need to even ask for the code for open source projects, it's there for the taking, the sharing is actually better than it was in the 1970s. Largely this has to do with the greater ease of communication and distribution. It's easier for me to share my code by putting it on github or providing a .tar.gz and forgetting about it, than it for me to have to cut a tape every time someone asks for it. In fact, when companies honor the letter of many open source licenses by only making their modified source available if you actually ask for it or assert your identity by filling out a web form, rather than putting it on a publicly accessible site somewhere, they are often chided for making the user have to jump through hoops to get the source (notwithstanding the companies that actually violate the license and don't make the source available via any means, of course).

That the development style of not directly/immediately incorporating various changes from other parties may be a more cathedral, rather than bazaar, but nothing is stopping the recipients of the code from forking it and distributing and sharing their own changes with each other. In fact, the very definition of open source is such that that is encouraged; that few do, or that people are not motivated to fork, has nothing to do with the culture of sharing the code, and, again, most likely has more to do with the ease of which it's possible to get the canonical version of the code and the branding behind the consistency of that canonical version.

I can bring a baseball bat I turned on my own lathe to the park and let other people use it, but just because I don't let someone else customize my bat or use my lathe doesn't mean I'm not sharing the bat.

I'm not worried about risk, that's for the donor/seller to decide. Higher risk, higher money. It's no different than hazard pay for dangerous jobs.

But my understanding is that someone can only donate a liver once, even though it regenerates. Perhaps that just because doctors are uncomfortable with the risk of a second donation?

We code with text because it leverages our innate language skills. Words and grammer are how we communicate naturally. Typing in words and numbers transmits an enormous amount of information very quickly, compared to e.g. manipulating graphical controls. We use diagrams for very narrow domains of information, not for general concepts.

If you've got something better in mind, let's see it. I mean, let's see exactly how it is supposed to work. The general idea has been around a long time, but nobody has produced even a design that is compelling.

The official android release (i.e. nexus phones) doesn't have Carrier IQ either.
Not sure what you're calling out here. That end users have to root their phones in order to avoid something undesirable is not something that CyanogenMod can respond to. All the alternative firmware provides is a way to avoid something that is otherwise forced on you, and CyanogenMod is pointing out that it's offering that alternative.
true - unfortunately, if bloatware doesnt get you, then forced obsolescence will (no ice cream for you !)

sooner or later, you will have to get on the open source bandwagon... and Cyanogenmod is where its at.

Nvidia does a decent job with new GPU's when it comes to 3d and basic graphics. It did a good job with the old GPU's too, but I guess the old drivers aren't maintained a lot.

However, the Nvidia binary driver still lacks some features when it comes to multiple displays, etc. HDMI connect/disconnect does not work on a laptop. There's no Xrandr support yet, so hotplugging displays and screen rotation, etc is not quite there. X has to be restarted more often than I want.

I've heard they're working on Xrandr and other stuff. I still think that they should be open sourced, though.

I think they're seriously misunderstanding both TermKit's goal and the difference between running commands and editing text.

TermKit, for instance, is not just a widget-infested terminal. The core idea behind it is what >50% of this post is about: data interchange that's not un-tokenized text that you have to `awk` to hell and back to do basic things.

Meanwhile, text editors do two things incredibly differently than system-control interfaces: they edit blocks of text, and they can un-do almost every action. Next time you `rm` something accidentally, try pressing `u`, and see if it comes back. Or rewind that `drop database production;` your cat typed into your ssh session.

I also don't want Bash to be my editor for similar reasons why I don't want to manipulate my filesystem with Vim - I rarely need to enter visual select mode when composing something in Bash, and Vim is poorly-suited to piping streams of text through multiple programs.
One of the reasons I always shop for PCs with integrated Intel graphics is because things like multiple-monitors and rotation generally work out of the box, with no configuration needed beyond opening the standard GNOME Monitor Config tool.

You say that you start "building things" but can never finish. This is normal, we all do it - we start coding on something, it's totally awesome for a couple of hours and then when we come back to it the next day we can't be bothered.

Perseverance is hard, but there's no shortcut around this. To make yourself feel worthwhile & motivated you will just have to finish something. It doesn't have to be the next facebook etc... just get something done.

If you can't thin of ideas, ask people around you what they'd like to have in their life.

You mention Android as a tech you'd like to learn. Surely you know someone with an Android phone. Ask them what they'd like you to build and then build it. Do not stop until they are happy.

Doing this is well within your reach, you know Java - and there is a wealth of info on the net.

Hopefully, the number of users of CM will rise enough to give the carriers "competition" and stop putting stuff like this and other bloatware in them. Because once a phone is rooted, they can also use apps like the ones for free tethering and so on. And I'm sure they don't like that at all.
That makes sense to a point, but it's still scary to have that sort of thing hanging over you. This will sound silly, but just thinking about this stuff has my stomach in knots right now - I actually feel physically ill.

After posting this, I found a post on answers.onstartups[1], written by Joel Spolsky, which outlined the reasons why employers make you sign this sort of thing. I understand the reasons he gave, but it also makes me realize that this is just the way the world works for our profession, and I feel trapped and scared by it.

I know I'm never going to make anything in my spare time that amounts to anything, but I still like the idea of throwing stuff (pet projects) at the wall (the internet) to see what sticks (gains me notoriety and/or profit). I get the feeling that it's in my own best interest to just keep my toys to myself, keep my head down, and pound out line of business apps for $50k a year (or the post-inflation equivalent of it) for the rest of my life. I feel dead inside.

Firefox has improved a lot since Firefox 3.6. Firefox 3.6 was released on 2010-01-21. Firefox 8.0 was released on 2011-11-08. (Chrome 14 was released on 2011-09-16.)

I suggest comparing the latest Firefox (8) with the latest Chrome (15).

(Disclosure: I get paid for working on the engine of Firefox.)
I agree with you that GPU drivers should be open sourced. In fact, all driver source code should be released for all operating systems. They also should ship with instruction manuals and data sheets with circuit diagrams.

I write GPU driver software (in userspace) for living. I'd be much more happier if I could push my code to GitHub for everyone to see.

However, I do understand that keeping the drivers secret can be a competitive advantage. GPU's are devices unlike any other, they're all different from vendor to vendor and model to model. The driver source code will reveal crucial parts of the hardware design. Knowing what your adversaries have in their chip is a disadvantage to them. I guess some reverse engineering probably takes place, but that is at a whole different level than actually seeing the source code.

OpenGL is also an issue. It's a nasty legacy API from Silicon Graphics, dating back to 1992 or so. It's not only a very crappy API for the programmer, it's also hell to implement. If you don't believe me, try to look for texture completeness rules in the GL spec (the problem doesn't exist in Direct3D, because they don't have backward compatibility or legacy API's to deal with).

So, having a working OpenGL implementation that passes the 30,000+ conformance test cases is also a competitive advantage you don't want to give away. It's worth several years of programmer effort.

However, I still think that we and everyone else should open source their GPU drivers and OpenGL implementations and compete in who makes the baddass-est silicon chips.
