This is mostly inaccurate. He starts by cherry picking his definition of ODD describing it as “a pattern of negativistic, hostile, and defiant behavior without the more serious violations of the basic rights of others that are seen in conduct disorder" and "often actively defies or refuses to comply with adult requests or rule". This is ridiculous, and leaves out a half a dozen or so other symptoms including

"Have temper tantrums
Be argumentative with adults
Refuse to comply with adult requests or rules
Annoy other people deliberately
Blames others for mistakes or misbehavior
Acts touchy and is easily annoyed
Feel anger and resentment
Be spiteful or vindictive
Act aggressively toward peers
Have difficulty maintaining friendships
Have academic problems
Feel a lack of self-esteem"

Those aren't authority problems, those are major social issues that must persist for greater than 6 months and make the home or school environment hostile. Also, he acts like all psychologists and psychiatrists do is prescribe medicine. This is silly, most psychiatrists and all psychologists would advocate combined therapy or behavioral therapy to help them with parent child interaction and problem solving skills. These authoritarian behavioral treatments include things like "Recognize and praise your child's positive behaviors, offer acceptable choices to your child, giving him or her a certain amount of control." ODD should NEVER get a drug prescription except in the case of comorbitity. Read more here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/oppositional-defiant-disord...

ADD and ADHD are over-diagnosed and ODD might also be, but there are people who legitimately suffer from major crushing behavioral deficits which can make properly learning difficult. Sloppy historical analogy with 'famous people would totally be ADD' is a terrible marginalization of this disorder and it's sufferers.

Also, lots of people are mentioning the Rosenhan experiment and claiming that psychology hasn't changed at all since then. This is largely inaccurate. I would direct them to this askscience thread http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/orf88/how_has_ps... about changes that have occurred including the rise of counseling and patient bill of rights.
Great tips Danielle! Wish I had this last year when I went to SXSW!
Thanks joedev, perhaps I will one day. As mgkimsal mentioned, consultants have to take into account other such considerations when working with more established teams. That said, consultancies like Pivotal Labs make it part of the engagement to impart best practices and effective process to their clients as much as possible.

> Which is disturbing but when it regards software your livelihood depends upon

I like the implication that nobodies livelihood depends on a game. Of course nothing could be further from the truth. I'm sorry but to find it disturbing it kind of has to be novel, and it's not.

IMO it's pretty sad that what is supposedly a community of developers is "shocked" by something that has been going on for years now on plenty of platforms, including iOS and Android. You might still have a problem with it but it shouldn't cause an incredulous reaction like that.

> Sure, but the article is about Apple.

I'm not discussing the article, I'm discussing your incredulous reaction like this is something out of some dream. It's not, in fact there is tons of precedent for it.
I think the OP is referring to the Apache Foundation's process for accepting patches from non-committers. All Apache projects require a copyright grant. The only way (AFAIK) that they allow you to express that you grant the copyright for your changes to the foundation is by checking a box when you upload the patch to their issue tracking system, which happens to be JIRA.

Alaska has the combination of having a lot of coastline (more than the contiguous US) and lots of cities that aren't easily accessible by land. Most of southeast Alaska's cities (including the capital) have no roads in or out at all, but are on the coast, so undersea cables are the only practical means of providing connectivity.

Hm, I can't reply to your last comment, must have gone too deep in the thread.

I'll try to say this without sounding like a dick. You need to forget about your web site for now and get to a bigger city where you can get some assistance. I'm not sure where you went from Port Aransas, but Corpus Christi seems to be the biggest city in that area, and I'm sure you can get there for $100 on the greyhound.
same here. Linus is a man with strong opinions, so i guess the kind of language he uses helps reflects that.

and i find it funny that people get upset so much over it. some "political correctness" crap. look, you don't control what other people say or does, but you can control how that affects you. if you're going to seriously get upset about someone telling you to "kill yourself", you should get yourself a psychiatrist. because you really just might.

Applying the same logic, firewalls used to protect computers and servers are only there to censor content.

From the description, it sounds like it has nothing to do with content filtering and everything to do with app security. Web apps in particular have very different attack vectors (think XSS, SQL Injection etc) that your standard install of iptables/shorewall is going to protect against
As a non-American I just have to ask, as I see his name thrown around a lot, is Obama really the one making these decisions? Are there not people on a lower level signing some of these? It seems to me, essentially impossible for one man to be able to handle all things brought up recently, not to mention all the non-tech questions I'm sure are debated just as much in other places.

Github is complicated. I tried to make account one time. I registered and an email address was required which they promised not to share with anyone. But then I found that that email address is shared to the whole world in git commit summary! Later I had bigger problem, with setting up public key in TortoiseGit. Instructions at http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/ didn't work for me.

Github website also feels alien and weird, like Macintosh.

It's much easier to pass around git .patch files. Anyone can post anonymously (no email or account required) a .patch file on project's phpBB forum. Because it's usual phpBB, anyone can review anonymously and it's possible to post screenshots. It takes just 1-2 minutes to post a patch. Just select your commits in TortoiseGit and click "Create Patch Serial". There are graphical instructions for TortoiseGit in sticky thread on patches forum.
>>Why are there so many language wars-lovers in some open source communities...?

Honestly, I think that the reason is simple: because it's entertaining. Yeah, sometimes I'm tired of reading the same arguments over, and over, and over again. But sometimes, an OP is particularly eloquent in his trashing a language, and I like that, even if the language he's trashing is my favorite.

The same goes with rants. I can't understand people debating over Linus Torvalds rant on C++. Honestly, I found it hilarious and well written. That's it, I'm looking no further because I know that this type of argument has no end.

I would certainly not care to debate the relative merit of my favorite language in one of those troll topics, but I do enjoy reading heated programmers exercising their writing skills against each other.
I can't help you out with many connections, all the people I know are barley getting started with their careers, but there are tons of startups and tech companies in the Austin and Houston area.

One of my good friends started working as an engineer for Texas Instruments (in Dallas) and loved it until he had offer he couldn't refuse from a Silicon Valley company and moved out to California.
What I don't understand is why you would use MySQL as your storage engine it seems to me you are stripping away most of the benefits of using MySQL by interfacing it with this library. Is there a compelling reason to not use google's own LevelDB?
Simplicity in a language is great.

JavaScript is actually a very simple language modulo a small set of irregularities. Most of these irregularities go away with "use strict", which is basically the modern version of JavaScript anyhow. (And even more improvements are in the pipeline with future versions, which you are free to use for projects outside the browser!)

While there are several reasons why I would not choose JavaScript first for "serious" programming (although it's pretty high on the list), these reasons are shared by most of the other popular languages like Python, Java and C++. (I also think all three of these languages are more complex than JavaScript.)

If people who programmed "seriously" actually cared about simplicity and reasoning about code, we'd see much more Haskell in the wild. But instead we see the three unfortunate languages I listed above: Python, Java and C++. (Rounded out with mostly similar languages.)

I want long term solutions, not just survival for this week. I have two sons with me. It is not just me. I am currently in Kerrville. The nearest big city is San Antonio.

I get lots of encouragement concerning the information on my websites. I believe that in the long run, somehow, that is where I have something of value to offer. The last three years in a row people have donated enough money to keep them online when I stated publically that they might be going away as I couldn't pay the webhosting fee. I get very strong reactions from people who find value in the info there. In fact, audience response is the only reason they exist. They both started as emails on private discussion lists. I got so many requests for some of the info or for permission to forward my emails I decided to put it online. There is and always has been interest in what I know. I was just too busy saving my life and getting well against all odds to figure out how to develop and market it. Can you do anything to promote either of my sites? Can you put links to them somewhere or something? Anything practical. The adsense revenue is not bad for the amount of traffic. The problem is the lack of traffic.

Thanks.
Leonardo Da Vinci was probably the last person to understand completely everything that he worked on to the level that was possible for the era he lived in. Since then, I doubt anyone can achieve that, but interestingly, thanks to the internet, one can instantly access the knowledge of almost anything at almost any level. If I choose, I choose today!

It really depends on what types of place you're working at. In the past 6 years or so, I've worked on a lot of PHP, and nearly all of it was pretty high-quality, because I don't like working at companies that don't care about code. My point is, if you have the luxury of the same filter in your job choices, PHP isn't necessarily the big red flag it could be.

The only exceptions for me have been when I've had to deal with someone else's codebase, or with Wordpress (and Django once), but again, I wouldn't personally take a job where those were the main responsibilities.
I like the way you write. It's straightforward and cuts the crap. I kinda wish there was more articles like this.
Context-dependant, yes. I.e. when it comes after "Input body filter support" and comes from a country where "firewall" is used to describe massive scale automated internet censorship.

If you know that's not the case, cite something.

Thanks for this insightful post. As an outsider, I wondered how the US associated itself so strongly with "freedom".
I'm pretty sure the companies that you mentioned know enough about recruiting that they won't hire people solely based on the languages that they know. Skills transcend programming languages; especially among those similar-enough scripting languages.
I have a macbook air, and my wife has a Pro 15". We use both daily :)

I much prefer the air, mainly due to the performance gain from an SSD. If you do choose the Pro, I'd recommend the SSD upgrade.

1) No. I don't miss more screen estate.

2) Absolutely no.

3) Yes, the Air handles expensive CPU operations just fine :) By way of example, I have no trouble running windows under VMWare Fusion on the Air, alongside OS X apps.

Some other things about the Air that I didn't appreciate until using one:

- The weight and form factor drastically improve convenience when resting the machine in your lap.

- The battery life is pretty stupendous.

>(my only knowledge of Vizio is "shitty Walmart TVs")

FWIW, Vizio has developed a reputation for building TVs that match the quality of more expensive sets at lower prices. They're generally far better than the junk budget displays you'll find while considerably cheaper than something from a "name" manufacturer like Samsung or Sony. The hope -- and what Vizio is claiming they intend to do -- is that they bring this to the PC market.

You need to look up the definition of "joke" before you insult Americans in general and call them "9 year olds" based on an incorrect usage of that term.

I did. Have you? Definition #2 from Mirriam-Webster: "something not to be taken seriously".

Telling someone to commit suicide, even if not meant literally, because of a technical disagreement, should not be (in my opinion) considered acceptable in any culture.

You know what they say about opinions. Lots of people the world over enjoy the occasional colorful comment, and do not get their knickers tied up in a knot (UK-ism meaning they are not annoyed) when non PC language is used. Hell, lots of cultures the world over think political correctness itself as silly and/or prudish.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think GitHub gets the email address it displays in the commit messages from Git rather than your account. (That is, it gets it from whatever you set with git-config.)
>But then I found that that email address is shared to the whole world in git commit summary!

If you're talking about the email address in the commit itself, that's part of the commit object and not anything GitHub does behind your back. If you publish the commit anywhere, not just GitHub, the email address has become public knowledge.

The US does not have exit immigration. Airlines have to ask for your passport to ensure that you meet the entry requirements of your destination country. If an airline transports a passenger who is then denied entry, that airline will be fined and on the hook for getting the passenger out again. Generally they can recoup these fines from the passenger but it's a pain and they don't want to deal with it.

The EU and Japan, for instance, do have exit checks. These are done by the relevant immigration bureaus. The passport checks performed by airline personnel are completely different and bear no impact on one's ability to leave the US.

As an aside, this is the reason that most international connection at US airports require a visa. US airports (with LAX being the sole exception, AFAIK) have no way to monitor anyone leaving the secure area. Nothing would stop passengers in transit between international flights from simply leaving. Connecting in, say, Tokyo-Narita doesn't require entering Japan because everyone in the secure area has either exited Japan or is in transit in the sterile zone.

The only exception is passengers on Air New Zealand's Auckland-LAX-London run and Air France's Paris-LAX-Tahiti flight, though I may be wrong. Special arrangements have been set up for these flights.
Bills passed by Congress and enacted into law are literally signed by the President; somewhere there is a physical piece of paper that Obama marked with a pen -- except in a few cases where it was a robotic pen: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/11...

And the other decisions mentioned above come directly out of the office of the president, which is to say Obama and his cabinet and staff. The executive branch is the president's instrument to wield; I think everyone would agree that the president has responsibility for the actions of his appointees and White House staffers. And the key documents like executive orders are, again, literally signed by Obama's hand.
You should read it. It's excellent.
I only raise the issue because I happen to know that China is involved in large-scale automated internet filtering and that in order to operate, companies are required to implement those filters.

And the fact of the matter is, many many firewalls ARE used for content filtering. For example, many workplaces block common time-waster sites. Home wifi routers can be easily configured to filter adult content. Universities block file-sharing. ISPs do bandwidth shaping. etc. etc.
JIRA's patch form lets you submit patch URLs as well as attachments. So if the project wanted to allow users to provide github pull request URLs, they could. It sounds more like the project simply doesn't want to work that way.

Google I/O 2012 Redirect Checker w/ Gmail Support
I found this C# example on pastebin.com through a Google Alert email notification for the term "Google I/O 2012". Unfortunately, there is no license or copyright associated with this program, nor is there any indication about who wrote it, nor do I have any clue whether it actually works! So, I submit this to Hacker News as a "fair use" example of what one anonymous developer is doing to be notified of the pending Google I/O 2012 announcement.

So, not being a lawyer, would this code automatically fall under the Public Domain? I couldn't find any statement on pastebin.com to state who owns anonymous pastes. Regardless, there's nothing proprietary in this example that hundreds of other developers would have probably already created in other langauges like Perl, Ruby, Python, Bash, etc.

What have other HN readers coded to be notified for this event? :)
Some annoyances with Android development
This is a really great effort, but I noticed a handful of areas where the PHP example was off. I wonder if people with more experience with the other languages noticed the same thing for their language.

Some examples:

Null test:

$var === null // omitted
isset($var) // actually checks if $var exists and is not null (apparently--
I actually didn't know about the not null part)

Undefined variable access: it's a notice. Many people consider it best practice in PHP to treat notices as error, because things like this are notices.

Tenginx was not a community project.

It's a commercial project for www.taobao.com, which ranks 13th global according to Alexa (higher than ebay, lower than amazon)
So when the company has some custom feature, it can't wait for the original project to accept and update.

Tenginx going open source because we got tons of help from the community, not only Nginx project. And it's an honor to contribute.

Other open sourced projects include TFS(file system)/Tair(distrbuted cluster)/Webx(web framwork), all currently running on taobao.com.
You can check them out at http://code.taobao.org/ . Most docs were in Chinese tho...

Currently the feature list on Tenginx might be limited, but who knows what would happen...Google forked WebKit into Chrome, that's nothing to do with feature list in the beginning.
