Congratulations on the new job!

It sounds like you've already identified your weaknesses, and they are EXTREMELY COMMON - especially for really great engineers.

You used the word entrust, and this is key. It demonstrates that you have a great sense of ownership over the work, and feel personally responsible for the team's output. This is great, but now that you are the team leader and not the team itself, you need to get three additional ideas burned into your brain.

1: The members of your team are working with you toward a common goal, but they are not performing brain surgery on your first-born child. A little imperfection and inefficiency is OK. In fact, it's good business.

2: It is your job to set that common goal - which must be based on a business goal - and get the team to buy into it. Getting buy-in is, ironically, more a function of how well the individuals on your team believe you hear their opinions than how well they hear yours, so this is a great opportunity to practice your listening skills. But once you are all focused on the goal, the fact that someone solved a problem differently or more slowly than you would have will bother you less, because you will know you were doing other important stuff at the time and together you got closer to the goal than you would have alone.

3: Innovation means trying things and learning from them. The more people on your team try things, the more you all get to learn, so give them the space to try and celebrate the process as a team. Yes, sometimes that means people will try things you already know won't work, but sometimes you will learn a better way, or fail in a new way that leads to a new success. None of it will be a waste of time.

Finally, remember that these apply to your own performance on the team as well. Allow yourself the time to experiment and learn as a manager. Listening, delegating, and coaching are all learnable skills that require practice more than study, so just work at it and know that you'll get better at it.
I concur. This is how I have been structuring function bodies for a while now, and coworkers tend to easily follow the logic of both the whole function body and the "actual" work.

I think we can view paradigm shifts in science as a gradual accumulation of evidence (data), leading to more sophisticated and complex models until someone sees a new way of thinking about it that explains the evidence more simply. The evidence accumulated before the shift is essential.

In programming, we're not seeking theories, but solutions to problems, so I think the analogy is that as we try to solve problems, we learn more about them (collect data), creating increasingly elaborate solutions, until eventually someone realizes there's a better approach. Again, the accumulated knowledge about the problem is essential for the breakthrough.

In science, reality is constant and it's only our knowledge and theories that change. But in programming, the actual problems also change as we enter new domains with new problems and criteria.

As it happens, setting out to learn an app right away is typically not a great way to learn how to code for beginners. It's too easy to get stuck on the implementation details of your application-development objective ("why won't my blogging system display italics?") at the expense of the fundamentals ("what is CSS good for?")
I feel like they are trying to shove me haphazardly into a web OS, with all of the links to the various services, when the technology is not ready enough, and I don't want one anyway. They are just managing instead to annoy me with their new graphics interface, but maybe I am also not the target market.
Although I may offhandedly complain about my smartphone's battery life, it's really not that bad if I have to charge it every night and no other time. Sure, there are occasions where that sucks (odd travel schedule, lost/forgotten charge cable, or times of intensive use like turn-by-turn navigation), but for 99% of the year it's not an issue.

The issue in this article is different and more serious: the phone gets less power from its charger than it uses. This really has nothing to do with battery life.
Because the activities involved in learning stuff and creating stuff are divergent -- even conflicting at times.
Thanks for a great reply. What are you doing today?
That looks nicer, but you changed the code; The original code would not call cache.set_user when the data already was in the cache.

You would need something in-between like:

# Returns a cached user object either by their user_id or by their username.
def get_cached_user(user_id = nil, username = nil)
user = cache.get_user_by_id(user_id) ||
cache.get_user_by_username(username)
if not user:
user = db.get_user_by_id(user_id) ||
db.get_user_by_username(username) ||
raise ValueError('User not found')
cache.set_user(user, user.id, user.username)
return user
end
It's important to get your hands dirty and do a bottom-up approach, but it is equally as important to think top-down as well. What I mean is don't be ignorant of the "gold plate" while you are creating the minimal viable product, but be flexible enough so that it doesn't get in your way.

Well, i don't think there is much of a difference between an iPhone and the Googlephones i had. It's round about one day of usage for both. You can get more days with less usage and turning off stuff, for sure, but ever since Apple and Google entered the market i've not seen a substantial difference in battery life.

I've been considering renting my car out on those services (absolutely love the idea) and I do wonder what impact this will have on those two. There are some high-end cars on GetAround (I've seen at least an M3) and I imagine that people kicked out of HiGear may move to them.. creating the exact same problem.
Personally I'd sooner map the somewhat fuzzier concept of "applications language" onto that supposed continuum instead. It would put Go in a clearer category, since it seems to compete with Java and Python better than it does with C.

I still don't imagine an OS being written in a non-systems application language, since you've got drivers and performance critical subsystems to write and things like GC to worry about from the apps-only languages.

I just got a 4S, and it seems noticeably worse than my 4 (which I only had for a few months after its initial release). It might just be that I've been playing with it more in the first week of owning it (coming off a year and a half with no smartphone), but the battery has consistently been down to 5% after 12 hours.

Next step is several years in jail and close monitoring of the future crime activities.

The real problem is the ridiculously lax penalties for car theft in many jurisdictions. In the Seattle, WA area, you basically don't even see the inside of a cell until your third or fourth conviction. (One news article I found at http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=200... contains a quote to the effect that a thief would have to be caught stealing up to seven cars before being punished with prison time.)

Given the lack of interest in auto theft on the part of the legislature, it's not surprising that such crimes don't arouse much interest on the part of law enforcement. As a result there are plenty of large metro areas where an organized auto theft ring could be quite profitable.
I have a nexus one that while charging in the car and using navigation it would overheat and would not keep up either. Turned out to be a faulty battery and was just fine with any other battery.

| You see a girl with some extra weight and you may think she should ignore it, and hop on a computer. Here, most (yes, most) of the girls go to the gym and exercise.

And few would argue that isn't a healthy behavior. I'm guessing GP is more concerned when women use potential harmful means to make themselves better looking (eating disorders, plastic surgery, etc.). That said even in most cases that is more just a manifestation of low self-esteem/confidence - which said women would show in other ways if society cared less about appearance.

Great article. Thanks. This in particular blew my mind:

"“Educators of computer science have repeatedly observed that

programming classes really resonate with the subject and seem
to be natural-born computer scientists…I conclude that roughly
2% of all people ‘think algorithmically,’ in the sense that they
can reason rapidly about algorithmic processes."

This script seems to trigger a bug in Firefox or X11 which brings the whole session down.

It's 100% reproducible with my setup: Firefox 9.0.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 (x86_64) and Fglrx 8.920 (Catalyst 11.11, if I remember correctly). Load the page then scroll down a bit: the whole X session blows up.

The services should act like Airbnb did when they experienced 'bad user behaviour'.

But this has always happened on NYE to minicab fares.

In London it's almost impossible to get a black cab on NYE. Black cabs have their fares capped by regulation to something like 3x the regular fare. As such, it's not lucrative to work that night for such a small difference when they could be with their families.

Minicabs on the other hand are not capped, and are largely unregulated. Many of them do work precisely because they can charge much higher rates, and they do.

I once got a minicab on NYE that cost over £170 for a journey that should have cost closer to £30. Caveat emptor.

What seems to be the case here isn't the market doing what the market does best (regulate supply and demand and the cost thereof), but the naivety and optimism of the consumer who hopes for cheap prices despite a severe spike in demand and a shortage in the supply able to meet the demand.

The last time I needed a cab on NYE, I chose to walk the 11 miles home. I was drunk, I was singing New Order most of the way. I actually really enjoyed the walk and saved myself a lot of money in the process. I've lost my naivety around cab fares on that night.

I'm really curious what about theft puts in the same gray area as prostitution.

One is the forced appropriation of another's labor, the other isn't.

Are you also ok with bank heists, dacoity on trains, white-collar crime/corruption (all are theft)? I'm really interested in your reasoning.

A "Kuhnian revolutions" doesn't need to be a wholesale replacement of assumptions underlying an entire field of inquiry. Sure, most of the examples he used in his original book were drawn from such large-scale paradigm shifts. But especially in his later writing, Kuhn seems to focus more on what we might call "micro-revolutions": paradigm shifts that affect only a small part of the relevant science or technology, but which work in much the same way as large-scale scientific revolutions. Of course this isn't the only interpretation out there, and philosophers of science can disagree among themselves all day long. But much of the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge research that took place after Kuhn's book followed this broader interpretation, and studied small-scale changes in very narrow sub-fields of science as well as larger ones.

In other words, Kuhnian revolutions aren't as rare and far between as his original book might seem to suggest.

New concepts in IT might not "completely supplant" their predecessors, but their rise to prominence can certainly be called revolutions in the area(s) that are irreversibly changed by them. For example, very few people nowadays think that APIs on the Internet should be anything other than RESTful. Previous paradigms for remote computing protocols have been almost completely supplanted in this area. Likewise, table-based HTML layouts have been completely supplanted by CSS in the last 10 years. The change, of course, was motivated by the previous paradigm's inadequacy in addressing the needs of the evolving Web. There are lots of examples like this, even trivial ones, that can nevertheless be called miniature Kuhnian revolutions.

I'm a dropbox user, although I like the GP's standpoint. For practical reasons I don't refuse to use it like he does.

Now, help me understand point 1) please.

I assume for now that you're talking about the 'get someone to sign up' bonus? Which would be very shady in my world and is probably part of the reason why the GP gets annoyed by people at his university, trying to sift through the masses and find those that didn't sign up yet and could offer them a slight bonus.

a) the technology used
b) how much exposure you have to technology that can capture your interests (or your socio-demographic profile etc.)
