Yeah, but she was attractive and therefore a tool of the patriarchy, or something.
I think most good leaders instinctively know this - but few take the time to articulate it.

Bill Walsh, former coach of the San Francisco 49ers, was exceptionally good at formalizing and applying these principles. He turned the franchise around by putting the team above all else, sometimes ruthlessly so. He focused particularly on the myriad of daily details that shaped the team's self-esteem. When you are actually proud to belong in a team, and are constantly pressuring yourself to not disappoint your teammates, ever - then you will win.

If you've worked in such a team, you know the feeling: in the middle of a conversation you will be struck by an overwhelming high of awe and gratitude: I can't believe I'm working with these guys!.

That feeling alone makes up for all the hardships of a startup.

> As andrewfelix said, none of the games Zynga makes has the same lasting potential as World of Warcraft or Call of Duty.

Financially, this needs to be adjusted for cost of production. I'll go out on a limb and say that a Call of Duty costs vastly more to produce than Words With Friends. It's entirely possible that launching 4 titles annually, where each drops off to 18 million users is a good business. In another genre, id Software was able to make a good business releasing essentially a single title every 2-4 years, targeted at a small subset of male computer nerds. So comparing e.g. WoW to Words with Friends may not be a valid direct comparison.

Without making a big judgement about Zynga one way or the other, I can say that the social/Facebook aspect is just about distribution of their games. That's just the channel, which also happens to be a good buzzword for pricing the IPO at the top of the range. Zynga's business is casual games, which has been a good business for quite some time. Remember all the pre-Facebook articules on how casual gaming is letting companies make money by including women in gaming? The Sims was often cited in this genre of coverage. But again, I'd put hard money down that The Sims cost vastly more to produce than Words With Friends.

You have a good point but to offer a counterpoint, their many problems probably shine through or will shine through in other unpredictable ways. Its almost like having a friend who has a problem they don't want to talk about - after a while you start to notice some oddities. At the least, I would guess that their reported on behavior will drive away talent from working there and probably as a result the quality and value of their products will suffer.

They could also start messing up your careful timing. Then it would be much harder to convey information.
When I get a conversation going with a friend and it turns out it can be done with some programming, I often do it. But I only do it when I have 4-5h I can spend with them to get it done and then I walk away from it. Really awesome to help friends, especially when wine is involved.

My bread and butter business comes through networking at events in my niche and then making continuous updates on social networks so people I've worked with remember I'm out there and pass my name on when people mention business I could do. I maintain a "resume site" with a contact form that facilitates catching those leads.

When I meet people who come through the system I ask the source of their referral. If I know the referral person well, I will take the project 98% of the time.

If they say "I found you on the Internet" I probably accept only 25-50% of the offers, I take extra long to respond to the quote request to test their patience, and if they even flinch on the topic of money I bail out before we get a contract started.

I think you're getting downvoted because it is a controversial idea. I don't think it's off-topic though. There are some taboo problems that happen in a small team of people who spend a lot of time together.
Hmm, there are a few things on that list that don't seem to ring true, or at least seem to be leaving out large portions of the picture.

For example:

"41. Assuming I am heterosexual, magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are rarer."

The last issue of Playboy that I have seen had more topless men in it than women. Perhaps the author is better at visually tuning out advertisements than I. Of course the same is true of the last... dozen? action movies I've seen.

And then there are the issues of reproductive/child rearing rights, which are currently heavily skewed against men. A woman who has unprotected sex (or for that matter sometimes protected sex) is in a much better position than a man who does the same. In fact, in nearly anything concerning children in the slightest men are decidedly discriminated against.

What is my point here? Real life is more complicated than a list or two might suggest.
Since I considered Pakistan to be an Islamic nation (as I stated in my previous post), I was clearly using the former definition.

And while it is not impossible for Muslim-majority nations to be secular and/or democratic, it's highly unusual. Moreover, going back to the origin of this discussion, even in secular Turkey, the recent conservative movement there resulted in the banning of pornography in 2004. If you know Turkish, you can read the law yourself here: http://www.tbmm.gov.tr/kanunlar/k5237.html
Males have the "privilege" of being the "stronger" sex. If you're not collected and emotionally unreactive you are abnormal/weak. Any emotional expression that deviates from a narrow acceptable range is abnormal. You do not need the same reaching out or emotional support of the "weaker" sex because you are strong. It's no wonder males have the privilege of being more likely to be isolated. Have the privilege of being 5 times more likely succesfully commit suicide. Being 10 times more likely to die on the job. Our "strength" gives us the privilege to be drafted into wars and be generally disposable to the hazards of society. None of this captured by your list though so I suppose it's irrelevant.

"Weakness" in females signals a socialized response to reach out and support. "Weakness" in males signals a socialized response to stigmatize. Because after all you are privileged, why don't you just "man-up"?

"Social justice theorists also talk about different kinds of privileges, so the idea that geeks have male privilege does not exclude the possibility that there is another form of privilege that they lack that others have."

That's my point. When is the last time you read an article about leveling the field of female privilege? In theory the idea of privilege is inclusive but in practice it's not.

Your experience will vary from company to company - while my initial post mentioned the company that I had to fight to get a review at, I later on worked at a company for over 4 years where I was given a yearly raise that exceeded the percentage cap that was in place - I was appreciated and they made sure to show me. Every company and every boss is different - it's great when you work for the good places.

I see "drink-soaked, former-Trotskyist popinjay" applied to Hitchens a lot.

Hitchens' 2002 review of Martin Amis Koba the Dread, "Lightness at Midnight", gives a good summary of his (i.e., Hitchens) attitude to Trotskyism and Marxism. He picks out a wonderful quote of Victor Serge:

> Have you forgotten the other bankruptcies? What was Christianity doing in the various catastrophes of society? What became of Liberalism? What has Conservatism produced, in either its enlightened or its reactionary form? ... If we are indeed honestly to weigh out the bankruptcies of ideology, we shall have a long task ahead of us.

(From http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/2002/09/hitchens... )

Ugh. One thing I oddly haven't seen mentioned at all: if it passes, will Obama sign it? I disagree with him on many things, but he's not stupid, and given his support base there have to be some geeks close to him that can explain how awful it is. Of course, his support base also includes Hollywood...
Lobbyists have an easier time doing messaging. Because they represent only a few people who let them do all the talking, they rarely have to worry about someone on their side making them look bad.

I think for a vast majority of people it's a solution in a search of a problem. Grocery shopping is an uncomplicated matter and the pen and paper list covers the need for a memory aid in those (rare) cases when it is needed. It is also much easier to operate as it can be kept in the shopping cart in front of the eyes at all times, it is easier to glance over and it is easier to strike items off the list (by tearing through them). All in all, the paper list is better than the app on a device. Don't get your nerdiness blur your perception of reality of common folks :)

They don't seem to care about learning any of it, in fact seeing how a lot of those congressmen were against having technical experts comment on the bill, I don't see why they would care about reading anything on how DNS works and why securing it from tempering is important.

That is a really nice selling pitch for the culture there.

I thought almost the opposite. I mean it is isn't the worst I've ever seen by a long stretch but the fact that you'll be there past 7pm on day one left me a bit cold. They didn't mention a start time so I'll assume around 9ish (I'm sure they'd have have made a point of saying "stroll in at 10 or 11 with a donut" or somesuch otherwise).

Maybe I'm not made of the right stuff in that I don't want my whole life to revolve around work. Then again, I'm easily replaced by someone who is hungrier and more of a team player.
Good start. Works in Chrome but not Firefox 8.
I don't think I've ever seen a more dramatic real-world example of unwittingly strengthening the point you're arguing against. jemalloc didn't work quite as they wanted, so they customized it, and you really think that's a counterpoint to an argument for trying new and different things?

I felt the same way. On most days I've already had lunch and am back to work by 12:30. At 7pm I would be cleaning up from having dinner with my family and be heading off to have a light saber battle or play trains with my son. I worked a job where I spent most of my life at the office when I was in my early 20's and it nearly destroyed every non work relationship I had. Stepping away from work and my co-workers at lunch gives me an opportunity to clear my head, get away from the work and think/concentrate on other things. Don't get me wrong, I like the people I work with, but I have no desire to spend my every waking moment with them.

> None of this captured by your list though so I suppose it's irrelevant.

They're not on a male privilege checklist. A catalog of gender differences would be a different list.

> When is the last time you read an article about leveling the field of female privilege? In theory the idea of privilege is inclusive but in practice it's not.

I think most feminists would discount the idea of "female privilege" per se as a false equivalence similar to a hypothetical "black privilege".

> "Weakness" in females signals a socialized response to reach out and support. "Weakness" in males signals a socialized response to stigmatize.

The fact that there is a societal preference toward masculinity, which underlies many of your points, is definitely a topic that gets brought up in feminist/gender studies circles. This is why it's comparatively okay for women to be tomboys and such, and highly frowned upon for men to be effeminate or show what are considered feminine traits.

Many feminists call this general societal enforcement of gender roles part of patriarchy, and seek to remove the stigma associated with violating these roles. So if that's something you're interested in, there's no reason you can't find common cause.
It's probably because you've been in startups all this time. Try working in manufacturing instead and you will no longer have trouble believing that these "cucumber" people walk among us... and work in management.
Linux IPO Plan Draws Fire [1999]
Obama doesn't give a flying fig about his support base. Sorry to be so blunt, but that bastard just threatened to veto the NDAA unless the provisions allowing indefinite dentition of Americans without charge or trial were put pack in. His base is screaming bloody murder, and the White House remains utterly unmoved.

Added irony: the Senate passed this abomination on Bill of Rights Day, precisely 220 years after the (now gutted) Bill of Rights was ratified.

Separately, this same base has been howling about ACTA, which has been spearheaded by none other than Joe Biden. So no, he isn't going to veto the censorship bill either. But you better be careful about how you choose to protest. Obama has also out-Cheneyd Cheney in claiming that the President has the power to hunt and kill Americans without charge or trial if the Executive (not the Courts) determines that the 'target' is an 'enemy combatant'.

And what's the standard for making this determination? Top Secret, naturally. According to Obama, it's all about "remaining flexible". And that brings us to Christopher Hitchens, who observed that "The essence of tyranny is not iron law. It is capricious law."

The really scare thing about all this is the prospect of Democrats going into open revolt, ejecting Obama from the White House, and inadvertently handing this basket of unspeakable nasty to Newt Gingrich.
To be fair, IIRC the 'hunky guy' that was well-built/muscled was popular with women in the '80s (so far as I know, feel free to correct me). And I do know at least one woman that is into that archetype.
tl;dr - There's very little reason to develop a game engine in-house.

I recently went through this decision making process myself. We're currently focusing on mobile (iOS) games and found that Cocos2D beat out Unity for us. It isn't the cost. Unity is very affordable. It was mostly the desire not to develop in C++ when only Objective-C is needed and because we're looking at developing 2D and 2.5D games and don't currently have any need for 3D. Unity might be a decent choice for iOS-only, 2.5D games, but I didn't see that argument made compellingly enough.

One of the things we used to inform our decision was working through most of Learning iOS Game Programming by Michael Daley. He builds a very simple game engine step by step in the book and it was really helpful for understanding what we're getting with a mature game engine.

I'm currently writing an eBook teaching Backbone.js in CoffeeScript, of about the same length as Recipes with Backbone. I'm still mulling over how to price it.

Any further comments or suggestions about pricing are welcome.

meh, Bill Clinton came from a pretty middle-class background; I mean, I think my family has more financial resources than his.

I mean, sure, coming from wealth is a huge advantage; Few people go from being that poor to being one of the most powerful people in the world, and, of course, if you weren't born with the money, you have to come up with it in other ways.

Now, I agree that far too many of our politicians seem to come from the same pool; I'm just saying that they do let new blood in, from time to time.
