Firstly the other videos are non-commercial parodies, whereas your video is a promotional video for commercial purposes.

Also even if Constantin Films does not enforce it's copyright, you are still breaching their copyright. Constantin Films have previously enforced the copyright on this video, and a quick check of Wikipedia shows there was a report yesterday that they have started doing so again.

The Problem with HBO: What happened when I tried to watch a Game of Thrones
Thank you for your excellent feedback.

Yes, andro.eventer is there to avoid polluting the owner object. However, your idea of passing andro to the behaviour's setup() method is a great one. I'm going to give it a try.

The reason I require the behaviour to be passed to bind() is so that the passed function can be run with `this` set to the behaviour. I couldn't see another way to let bind know which behaviour should be bound to the event.

From my perspective here in the US the Arab Spring was more about rising food prices and a lack of opportunity. Will that trend extrapolate here to America? I think it is very possible since we are starting to see gas prices creeping up.

AS far as fascism goes - the US was set up to be a representative democracy. You do not have direct control over policies but you elect people who do. On a state level the government can react much more quickly to popular opinion and is held responsible. On the federal level, there is a risk of power being out of touch with the need for Progress.

> we believe the best ethics panel will come from the users

Not when it comes to HIPAA compliance. This isn't about finding the best ethical code of conduct for privacy (which can be tricky), but simply abiding by existing and well-defined rules; all users agreeing you're a paragon of virtue doesn't matter much if you break said law once it does apply to you.

Please understand I've no wish to rain on your parade; it's just that I know all too well dealing with HIPAA can cause some headaches, but that's part of the game when working in anything connected to healthcare in the US.

One of the major improvements that human vision includes is predictive decoding. Basically, how you interpret an immage is based on your model what you expected that immage to look like.

In the case of football, you might build a model of probable footballs for each frame then try to connect them frame by frame until you create a reasonable path and then say ok that's where the actual football is. Then for each new frame you keep extending that path based on what's in the frame and how far the ball can reasonably travel.

Nobody gets 200 emails per day all directly asking for something. If you do, as already said, that's a process and staffing issue, not email's fault.

The good thing about the old subject line of an email is that you usually can tell whether it's something you need to look at now or save for later, move to another folder, or delete. You can also quickly see whether you are the main target or just CC'd.

Speed reading can also assist in processing email. Sometimes you just know whether you need to read something thoroughly, or can glance over.
That is the lamest takedown of pair programming I've ever seen. I don't even do it, I don't even like doing it, but I know that the justification for it was never "more is better", and so does Steve.
I've met her a couple times, and have a different opinion. (I admit, I was biased a bit before meeting her, based on all the press and the murder of a friend's RAID while drunk...)

While she might not be the best computer scientist in the world of startups, she's great at the other roles in a startup, and is certainly a competent developer now. Not everyone in a startup needs to be a classically trained computer scientist with a Stanford PhD. Not every successful startup has to look like Google. You know who also wasn't a great computer scientist? Steve Jobs.

(I actually met esr when I was growing up in Pennsylvania, too -- he ran the local community Free-Net which I used for Internet access. He was a hardcore geek back then, and seems to have shifted more toward self-promotion and politics over time. He actually wrote some decent code for BSD/OS and ISP operations.)

Agile techniques make good teams perform better.
Scrum makes it impossible to hide from problems for more than a month. It doesn't solve the problems for you. Scrum makes failures faster so that errors are minor mistakes instead of yearlong catastrophes. Scrum is not micromanaging, it explicitly empowers the contributing team members to manage themselves and each other.
No one ever sold agile as a way to make bad teams perform well. I have seen Scrum (as practiced by a team that read a short book and sat in a one day training and bought in to it with an open mind) make made my team deliver better work in a more satisfying way.

I don't have a problem with what Google and Facebook are doing here. By choosing to use them I implicitly accept their policies anyway. If I chose not to use them, I'm sure their public nature means that every privacy blocker out there can blacklist them for me.

Surely the real problem is that IE by default believes malicious sites that claim to respect my privacy?

Agreed. If Constantin Films take us to the courts, then we will have a very slim chance of winning, just as every other video creator. They can enforce their copyright if they want, and make it stand in a court of law, with all the resources they have. About commercial usage, we believe we are just sharing our view on the Indian E-Commerce and ReCommerce industry through a humorous take. So whether this is a commercial/promotional video or not, is something, I believe, we can agree to disagree.

"Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context..."
As an enterprise developer (i.e. one of the guys working in the big, non-technical companies) I have been one to advocate and implement parts of agile on various projects. I will fully admit that Agile is mostly hype and that adhering closely to any methodology is mostly, if not entirely, futile.

Steve and others are missing the point, when done right it forces conversation and it gives programmers a voice. In big non-technical companies everything is top-down, date-centric and programmers are just cogs. When we did agile, we essentially had some basic sprinting (make date people happy) and a strong feedback loop (give developers a voice after each sprint) and those two simple steps produced some amazing work.

Dates will never go away in these kinds of companies, programmers will never be first class citizens, and some sort of process will always be demanded. Agile is not about how to get developers to be more efficient, it is about getting large non-technical organizations to bend (ever so slightly) to the will of the people actually producing the work.
Letting time go to infinity won't affect the answer - if the tamer has a strategy that allows him to avoid getting eaten, he's going to implement it all times, rather than risk making random movements.
" "Agile" -- the term is just too slippery".

Well you can point to the manifesto. A statement of 4 core values. That is all it really is.

I agree with you on the "Agile adoption sucks" bit. I think the coders and even managers have abandoned that crowd long ago, leaving the conferences full of coaches and consultants free to waffle on about fluffy ways to communicate and argue about whether the complexity model is better than the systems model or something.

It has been hijacked, and it is now a racket.
The pursuit curve assumes that the lion always moves directly towards the tamer.

The better strategy for the lion is your back-to-the-wall position. The lion should be able to get infinitesimally close to the tamer. Pragmatically and finally, the delta will be smaller the reach of the lion's pawns. Lion wins.

That's true, for HIPAA compliance, there is no negotiation and we will meet that standard.

But there inevitably will be some user concerns that fall outside of HIPAA compliance. So, we see HIPAA+HITECH as a minimum requirement. We don't expect it to be sufficient, however, and that's where user feedback, the "user ethics panel" if you will, comes in.
My problem with this representation is that it assumes the pursuer is unable to "lead" its target. The pursuit curve, as modeled in mathematical representations constrains the pursuer to traveling only on a path that points directly at the pursued.

Lions are highly adapted hunters that frequently take down prey that are much faster than them. It would seem that they would have to develop strategies for optimizing the distance-to-intercept in order to be successful as a species.

Thus, I believe the man is eaten rather quickly, even if the two are equal in speed.
Quadrupling the number of employees in a year is damn impressive.
Sadly Agile has indeed jumped the shark.

I have always seen Agile as a way to fight the Waterfall process. Another way to see it is to add professionalism and discipline to companies who don't have things like unit testing, code reviews, etc.

In his long write up Steve made two points which I think are the most important:

1. Waterfall is known to be bad; I hope we can just that as an axiom today.

I added the emphasis on 'hope'. I hope so too, but I'm afraid the end of Agile might mean the triumphant return of Waterfall.

2. Google is an exceptionally disciplined company, from a software-engineering perspective. They take things like unit testing, design documents and code reviews more seriously than any other company I've even heard about. They work hard to keep their house in order at all times, and there are strict rules and guidelines in place that prevent engineers and teams from doing things their own way. The result: the whole code base looks the same, so switching teams and sharing code are both far easier than they are at other places.

Google sounds like an exceptionally disciplined software-engineering company indeed! This to me implies they do NOT need Agile.

Why would you introduce something designed to professionalize software-engineering to a company which is super disciplined and professional? You wouldn't! The only thing you can introduce is bullshit like 8:00 AM meetings.
No wonder Steve hates Agile so much.

But again, everything he says about it being an infomercial and aimed at stupid people is true. But it is still a God send if this meme virus infects a death march plagued Waterfall process which does not use unit testing or even has source control.

Now why would a good developer be suck in such a place? Well maybe you live in an area where there is not a lot of tech. industry and jobs. Maybe you live there because all your family and friends are from there. Maybe your child has severe asthma and you can't afford to leave the gold plated health insurance plan from your corporate job in a non-software company that's big enough to have a software department.

I can't quite imagine how Agile could help a company like Google. But I know how it can be a great benefit to much less disciplined companies.

And I really do fear that the end of Agile means the return of Waterfall. Because Waterfall intuitively makes sense to people who don't understand software engineering. And there are a lot of them outside of silicon valley.

And Waterfall doesn't just plague obscure places with no tradition of technology. The US north east, home to MIT, IBM and formerly DEC, Waterfall has always been big out here too, and it's not because we're not smart.

I don't think they'll ever need to eat those words. It does indeed seem unlikely that NGINX will pass Apache. Not that it can't happen, but reasonable people would agree that such a thing does seem unlikely.
Apache might very well be under pressure from NGINX, but getting out a new major release (and after so many years), is DEFINITELY NOT a sing of this.

Much less is a new release indicator that Zdnet will be "eating their words in a year or two" regarding Ngix/Apache market share.

On the contrary, if this release DOES improve performance a lot and reduces memory usage, on top of all the other savings, it would make it even LESS possible for NGINX to win over Apache.

Besides raw performance, there are lots of reasons to use Apache still, from the fact that it's a battle tested server with tons of documentation, know best practices, tools and modules support, knowledgable admins etc available for it. So, if performance is improved, many people won't bother switched that otherwise might have.

I guess real world testing is going to be the best indicator of whether this is a worthy release or not, but i sure am very glad that Apache have at least attempted to up their game. Even if they are not able to deliver on their promise, the effort is noble enough - at least for now.

Personally, i'm very glad to see performance considerations being taken seriously, and even if nginx or node.js don't take over the world, its nice to see that they're forcing others to sit up and think.

Can you expand on this? My thought was that if the lion 'zig-zagged' somewhat, it would effectively force the tamer to constantly change direction[1] and ultimately the lion would catch up. Is that what you meant by back-to-the-wall?
