First of all, once you strip away all the protections for workers at all levels of government to deal with this one event you will never be able to put them back again.

History clearly shows that government worker's unions have no political power and never get what they want. Similarly, the RIAA/MPAA - politicians are to busy worrying about innovation and consumers to protect the starving record company execs.

...instead of just going into the pockets of the capital-owners who slash their work-force pay and hire nobody.

According to Keynesian theory, the only reason those capital-owners don't hire workers is because real wages are too high. If wages were lower, the capital-owners would hire workers to increase their own profits.

If you don't believe in Keynesian economics, that's fine. I also believe it to be useful only in limited circumstances. In that case, gizmo is wrong, and austerity will not be bad for the economy.

But my question is why Keynesians aren't pushing for wage flexibility.

And so on... so you end up radically changing on what will be a permanent basis a modern economy the functioned reasonably well for quite a while to fix a temporary problem.

According to Keynesians, what you call the "permanent basis [of] a modern economy" is the cause of every single recession.

According to them, absent wage stickiness, large nominal shocks to the economy would be rapidly corrected for, resulting in only real wage adjustments. This is exactly the same effect they attempt to engineer with monetary and fiscal stimulus.
Some words of caution: it seems like not all the information in this guide is equally recent. For example, it references Controller.saveLocation(), which has been replaced by route.navigate() etc.
Yea, I completely get what you're saying and for the most part agree. To be frank, I think the author of the article made an error in deconstructing on the 'Math' object (at least at a global scope). 'Math' provides a namespace for all of its methods and a similar approach should be taken to other libraries/pieces of code. I also agree that keeping things simple and straight forward makes sense, but you're doing it by forcing one to abide by those standards although someone might have completely legitimate reasons for explicitly scoping their variables.

Either way, I think it is what it is and the benefits of CS very much outweigh the cons. Thanks for the feedback
Eniugh people dropping the service altogether + recommending against it when asked for advice would probably deal a larger blow. Especially if Godaddy can no longer claim the top spot and ride that popularity to get people to sign up that *don'tV only buy loss leaders
There are indeed cultural issues, but deeper than that is the problem of trying to impose one economic policy (via one currency) on an area as diverse as Europe. We are generally quite good at rubbing along with our European neighbours, but the race to expand the Eurozone at breakneck speed has led to a large number of economically disparate countries being lumped to together as (somehow) one entity. Like easy credit, it only holds together while the trend in the worldwide economy is upward.

I think going after the supporters of SOPA one by one is a pretty effective method, if enough time. First let's go after the representatives who support it, and then after all the companies, and either terminate your account with them if applicable or at least e-mail them to express your feelings about them supporting SOPA.
I agree. There is a substantial bandwagoning effect going on. Still, I wouldn't deny that problems exist.
Those '120 domains' they're talking about aren't newly registered. Most people have been renewing them with godaddy every year for $12 a pop ($15 for .org).
Hartl's Ruby On Rails 3 Tutorial book is great, and available for free online: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/
I think part of the problem is that rails isn't really RESTful. Here is a good talk about it: http://confreaks.net/videos/699-rubyconf2011-resources-for-r...

Dropping the rails router, controllers and rack in favor of something like webmachine and resources could potentially speed up rails and reduce the conceptual complexity as well as the stack depth.

> Austerity will only further cripple the economies of the GIPS countries as we've seen during the Great Depression in the 30s.

The US at least, didn't do austerity during the GD or even the run-up to the GD. No, Hoover didn't do austerity. He increased govt spending significantly and Roosevelt actually campaigned against that.

The US did try to decrease production, believing that "excess supply" was the problem. Both Hoover (a "progressive Republican") and Roosevelt agreed on that. Roosevelt didn't change that policy until he figured out that an "arsenal of democracy" had to actually produce lots of stuff.

And that's pretty much when the Great Depression ended.

> Austerity doesn't work: it leads to criminal levels of capital waste: high unemployment, low standards of living, poor liquidity, and so on.

Surely you're not arguing that modern govts make efficient capital spending decisions. In the US, govt spending goes to cronies.
In the case of child pornography, banning the site really shouldn't be the whole solution anyway. They need to co-operate with law enforcement in those countries and arrest the people involved. Taking down their website domain won't do anything to deter the child pornographers.

This is why I believe the banning of child pornography sites is mostly used as an excuse to show "proof of concept censoring" and then use it to expand it to other stuff like copyright. This is why RIAA and MPAA love to use it as example that it's possible to censor them.

And then twitter released one! Awesome timing! Now you don't need to write your own.
This strikes me as a "no true Scotsman" argument.
Thanks. Sure: My typical schedule on weekdays is getting home at 7, then spending time with the family until the kids go to bed b/t 8:30-9. Then from 9-12 or 1 I tried to spend as much time as possible on building the app. In my approach the "learning" and "building" were intertwined. I didn't make up much ground on the weekends, as I kept that to family time.

How consistent I was from that 9-12 slot went in waves. For a couple weeks in a row I'd be at it every night, and then I'd have a couple weeks where I wasn't as productive. The summer I went through a productivity lull for some reason.

No, measurements at the LHC really are, and will, progress our understanding. Let me give the measurement of the Higgs as an example. There is very strong evidence that a Higgs boson should exist. An observation of the Higgs boson would provide empirical confirmation of that idea. However, the fact there's a Higgs boson doesn't expand our understanding very much, since after all, we strongly suspected it was there.

Measurements of the Higgs boson quantum numbers, on the other hand, provide very useful expansions of our understanding. The parameter space of possible Higgs bosons is so large that its impossible to know where it could be and different regions correspond two very different possible physics. So the measurement of the Higgs' mass, spin, couplings, and even the number of Higgs bosons are actually quantitative improvements to our understanding.

The problem is that if you're not a physicist, it is very difficult to explain to you why this measurement is something more than empirical. Lay people can easily understand that a new particle has been observed, but not so much how that expands our understanding.

I'd also like to point out that most of the people who came up with the ideas that are being tested are still alive. The standard model as we know it didn't really start taking shape until the 1970s.

You also seem to be assuming that there's always a "good" solution. That's clearly not true.

I don't understand the problem. What is wrong with the example they've given?
Yes. I "learned" French for four years in high school with no constant background exposure. Of course, I can't actually speak it, or read it, or write it, or understand more than very basic conversation in it (though as it turns out I have actually understood a smidge of French "in the wild"). But I did pass a test in it, once.

On my eternal TODO list is to use a spaced-repetition drilling program to buff up my French vocabulary since I do pretty much have everything else I need to at least read it, but, well, like many around here my TODO list is quite long....

Thanks. I have a somewhat similar story to yours, and I ended up building my first app during the first 6 months after my daughter was born. I'm trying again now (slightly different approach), but I actually am finding it more difficult now that she is older.

I hope you keep it going and good luck with it!
It's usually two separate steps anyway. Populating HTML via the object passed in _while_ parsing is a sloppy way to go about it. This lib (and most template engines) compile down to an executable Function, that you then pass this object to. This means you can re-invoke it several times with less overhead
I wonder if GoDaddy supports this because it gives them a clearer legal framework for dealing with complaints of piracy problems on domains they have under management. If I were them I would be concerned about my legal responsibilities to the parties whose domains I manage and to the complainants and would want specific legislation that can allow my business to address complaints in a standardized manner that is unlikely to make me look worse than the other guy down the block.

If this is the case then as a business they pretty much have to support it -- it would be their obligation to shareholders to do so.
Interesting. I've never seen Fitt's law invoked to cover close buttons before. Note that serious users (who are the ones complaining the hardest about gnome-shell) never touch the close button: closing a window is a keyboard shortcut (generally Ctrl-w, though sometimes Alt-F4 if the app doesn't handle that) in my world. For a while I was running a custom metacity theme with no window controls or title bar at all, actually.

And I don't follow the "no at a glance view" of your work space argument. Hit the windows button and Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down and you can actually see all your windows, with no overlap. That's something that was never possible before, and I love it.

Obviously there's a lot of taste at work. Gnome 3 is a big change, and big changes break workflows and piss off experienced users. But I honestly think a lot of your "objectively flawed" argumentation is just nonsense. Smart people can like gnome-shell and use it very effectively. You just don't like it.
Going after a few and making public examples of them might be effective faster than trying to take them down one-by-one.

While not the same thing as reading, I have noticed that Chinese is quicker to scan for a phrase you're looking for. I'm a native English speaker and have learned to read a bit of Chinese. I'm at the level where I can interpret some signs, but far from being able to read a newspaper.

Where I notice this is on a bilingual Chinese/English menu. If there's a particular dish I want, I find it is far quicker to find the Chinese characters.

It was mentioned that English readers will read words (like "dragon") as an atom, rather than letter by letter. In that case, the Chinese character is more unique and recognizable. I suspect that there is more variety in the shape of Chinese characters making them quicker to recognize and scan quickly.

I've definitely had agreements like that in the past - the problem is the disconnect between 'this is our intent' and 'this is what the doc says'. As an employee, the power/resource imbalance between me and the company means that I wouldn't be willing to undertake the risk of the company not changing their mind about intent. We don't want our employees to have to do the same internal risk analysis as it immediately puts them in an adversarial mindset (how much of a jerk could the company be and get away with it legally, etc).

You are right that there are certain things that have to be in there - anything written for a client is owned by the client, etc. Most agreements overreach, though, and ask for everything.

They do renewal coupons too, they often work out cheaper than initial registration (assuming you register for ~$8). For example, gdz1229c today will take 31% off of renewal, gets my .com renewal down to sub $8. Nobody is paying full renewal price unless they don't care about cost, it takes ~5 seconds to find a 30%+ off coupon, there are always a lot available.

I don't think noting that flexibility doesn't overcome the stickiness of wages is enough to sink all of Keynesian economics.

Huh? Wages lie along a continuum of flexible to sticky (typically expressed as a time, i.e. "how long before wages adjust"). You claimed US wages lived on the flexible end of the continuum, yet the US still has recessions. Keynesian economics claims this cannot occur.

If you want to borrow a habit from real science, borrow the habit of rejecting theories when they disagree with reality. If you believe US wages are flexible, and the US still has recessions, then the US provides a direct counterexample to Keynesian economics.

As to my actual views, I believe our recently ended recession is primarily structural. If it were Keynesian, the increases in government worker pay would have more of an effect than minimum wage hikes. I'm just pointing out that the US has not pursued any flexible wage policies that I'm aware of, and has actively reduced wage flexibility.

That's exactly my experience too. I used unity on a netbook for a while and just couldn't make it work -- too many edge cases (even to the extent of getting my preferred side-by-side terminal and emacs to work cleanly). I stuck with it for a while, but never really came around.

I similarly tried gnome-shell when Fedora 15 was released and hated it, but stuck with it for the same reasons. And it paid off. I'm a convert now -- I don't like everything (app-based Alt-Tab will never work for someone with 12 terminals running, I really do want nautilus icons on my desktop, etc...) but the things I don't I know how to tune.

I'm honestly more productive now than I was on gnome2. It's a great environment, and still getting better.
KDE Makes First 4.8 Release Candidate Available, Adds Secret Service
I lived in Bali for 2 years and this was all there was. Either you burned your trash or you were a westerner that had money to pay for someone to collect it. They gave you bins and taught you how to separate it. You get very conscious of what you can and can't throw away when it doesn't just magically disappear. But I think it'll be hard to convert people who are not used to thinking of their trash as a cost they are burdened with. Most Americans are used to thinking of it as right. In italy we have to pay a tax trash and it's usually a contract given to a private company In the town I live they provide special bags and you put out certain materials on fixed days. In other words, it's done in many places, but whether it's profitable is another story. I think you have to find a way to really convince people how right it is and find someone to supply the "trash" to who ideally pays you something for the raw material.
Govt spending isn't the only factor. Starting with Hoover and continuing with Roosevelt (until the run-up to WWII), the US govt introduced significant production restrictions in an attempt to boost prices.
