I didn't say that using the LGPL would give you the same possibilities as BSD. Sorry for the answer that only half fitted the question, in context of iOS and App Store, you are right.

If the author wants to use a GPL license, its his decision. But using a viral license in a support library is harmful in any case, as it destroys all ability to use it in a program that incorporates other pieces of code that might not be compatible with the GPL.
Give me a browser-based editor that runs in a console and I'll use that.
Also look up google code jam, I think they might have some links for learning. In general the kind of solutions sought are called "dynamic programming". I think there is also a book about solving TopCoder problems, though I can't find it atm, and haven't read it.

Your 50 years is a radical exaggeration. America had a budget surplus and stable dollar 12 / 13 years ago. Which is why gold was $270x / ounce, and oil was $12 to $20 and gasoline was still $1.

Trade deficits are mostly irrelevant so long as you aren't accumulating debt, and your domestic economy is highly productive.

I run a huge trade deficit with Amazon.com for example, as do all of their customers. That's ok because I'm being productive elsewhere, and the profits I'm generating through work make it possible to run that deficit. The same concept works at a macro economic level.

America ran trade deficits during almost the entire 19th century. There was more money (eg British investment) and goods flowing in, than out. The huge profits being generated domestically by the productivity gains, made it possible to finance that deficit without debt accumulation.

Even i find working at night very convenient. There is no one to distract you and also you get so many ideas when you think in complete silence. Some people work best in the morning , some at night . Guess everyone have their own way of working.
I am a physician, and I teach in a medical school. Although they are 2% of total costs, they drive up the cost in unnecessary procedures that patients demand without medical indication. Those $1080 MRIs are often ordered to avoid a lawsuit. That adds up to a lot more than 2%.

Although I disagree with your flippant tone, it's a fact that over 30% of medical costs come from care delivered in the last 6 months of life. Obviously you'd expect some top-heaviness here, but it makes one wonder about the cost of futile care (both in $$ and human suffering).
About 2 years ago I forgot to DVR The Office the night before. I downloaded the episode via BitTorrent. About 3 days later I got an email from Verizon stating that NBC reported my FIOS connection for copyright theft.

I could have watched it with no problems. I could have digitally recorded it in high def and skipped right over commercials with no problems. But by god they will throw a shit fit if I dare download it from the Internet.
Toys are big business. There is intense, secret, weird testing done with toys and children.

Why is everything aimed at girls the same kind of hideous pink? Because they've tested it, and pink works.

Here's a reasonable (the biases are clear) book explaining some of the stuff that toy manufacturers do.

Linus knows exactly what kind of comments it will get.

So either he doesn't care about the comments at all, or he is fishing for these exact pats on the back.
I think there might be a bit more than people realise - for example, the last company I worked for did primarily C++ Windows applications, but we had several third-party C libraries built in as well (Python, GDAL, proj, etc) which we needed to be able to build in VC++. Presumably this kind of use case is exactly the sort of thing which would prevent libraries like Python from moving on to use C99 features.

I definitely agree that it would be much better if MS just supported those few features, which frankly don't seem that hard in the scheme of things. Makes me think that they see some advantage to them in not supporting it, although I'm not sure what that'd actually be.
He doesn't really explain why he thinks that sentence could be true, but on the face of it it's almost absurd.

Not just because programming is difficult, but simply because most people don't have the ability to do all the easy things. I'm hopeless with most tools; I can figure out the easy stuff because it is, well, easy, but I would need to learn on the spot, so I don't have that ability now. The same is true for an almost infinite number of other easy things. Most people can't even cook.

Even if programming were easy, why would people chose to be able to program instead of other abilities if they don't have to.

Also: Pot, meet Kettle - wish I ever had a Windows installation that didn't get slower and slower with time, seemingly of its own accord. This was on computers with no new installs, no malware, no nothing - it just slowly gunked up and needed to be reinstalled. After that, with the same software, it was all snappy for a bit, and then the cycle began anew. Sounds familiar?
Add me to the list of folk wanting to search for multiple/combinations of words. Two would be sufficient for me. There are a lot of noun + verb combinations (and perhaps noun plus adjective) that make for a good base for a domain name.

Regardless, the tool as it stands is excellent. Thanks.
> So this post really resonated with me, because my thoughts have basically echoed this for awhile -- why isn't software engineering taught as a discipline that can let you implement and create, since that's exactly what it is?

Because most colleges teach "computer science" not "software engineering". Computer science is primarily about abstract concepts, and not so much about necessarily doing anything worthwhile with them. (This is similar to saying, "Why doesn't physics teach me to build X?" Because that's mechanical engineering!) Admittedly, there's hopefully some occasion to apply the concepts, rather than just memorize them, but the focus should be on the science, not the engineering.

In my curriculum, software engineering was one of my possible senior classes (including OSes, compilers, etc., almost all focused on application).
>MRIs aren't something that can really be overused.

Not on the basis of exposure to anything dangerous, but certainly they can be overused on cost grounds. That is the case in the US. They are routinely ordered without an adequate indication; we order many times more than physicians in other countries.

"The insurance companies in the US don't negotiate lower prices, they just pass on the cost to policy holders in their deductibles."

I'm sorry, this is wrong. The insurance companies actually DO negotiate lower prices. I recently had surgery and through my billing statements watched as first the hospital attempted to charge an obscene amount (that would have bankrupted me several times over had I not had insurance), then having my insurance company go through every line in the bill to let them know the max amt they will pay for each service provided. This was recently Reported on, I'll try and find the article.

It wasn't meant to be flippant (or insensitive), just matter of fact.

My grandmother extended her life by about eight months by having breast cancer surgery at 87 or so. Was that ok? Personally I loved my grandmother. However, it was paid for by taxpayers. Her quality of life was terrible in those last eight months, but she did want to keep fighting to live. It's an extremely sensitive issue to debate on either side. The obvious bottom line is that we can't keep having our cake and eating it too.
Convention over configuration was always easier in smaller decisions where people didn't have very strong opinions. i.e., "model files go in ./app/models/" When it comes to more subjective, more context-dependent decisions like authentication libraries, the general drift has (wisely, I think) been to build hooks into the core and let non-Rails-core developers have a healthy competition about which libraries are best.

Of course, this means the Rails user base is getting slowly more fragmented as more options become viable, but generally speaking this is a good problem to have.

Given Google's arrogant "we piss on stupid EU privacy sensibilities" stance, I wonder why Microsoft even bothers to poor gasoline on a an already raging fire.

Besides, Google's anti-piracy and anti-privacy stance is largely opposed to everything Falkvinge stands for, whilst Microsoft has been playing relatively nice with civil rights for the past decade or so.

The only problem I see here is that Microsoft is hiding behind some fake lobbyist front. What they are lobbying for sounds mostly factual to me.
Exactly this. Unnecessary imaging needs to unnecessary follow-up evaluations like biopsies which in turn have additional complications.

When I was in med school we spent a lot of time in a hospital providing indigent care. We ordered tests that we needed to determine how to treat someone, but not more than that. When I worked in a private hospital, most patients got lab tests done daily, with no specific reason for ordering them.

No way. A VC will not honor a handshake deal. They probably won't renege simply because they can get a better deal elsewhere (that's not how they operate - if a deal is good they take it, as they have the luxury of being able to participate in lots of deals), but if your market segment starts looking less favorable then they'll probably dump you.

Paradoxically this is also the reason why the biggest advertiser's search engine sucks more and more. This fuzzy search where he looks for all kind of synonyms instead of what he's asked means it often returns no useful results and misses the target by a solar system or two.

Looking for a film on the web = imdb
no babies are born = no procreation

So let's search for "imdb no procreation": http://lmgtfy.com/?q=imdb+no+procreation and http://www.bing.com/search?q=imdb+no+procreation

Now let's turn off this fuzzy synonymous search, go on the results page for "the film where no more babies are born", click on "more search tools" in the sidebar and click "verbatim".
Not only the actual results doesn't show up anymore but we now see this very story referenced several times further skewing the results towards confirmation bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb

I switched from metacrawler to google for my web searching in 1998, I can testify that it's getting worse and worse at providing relevant results for a while now and at the same time it gets better at tracking users and raising privacy concerns, censoring results, adding clutter, spam and ads, silently removing useful features.
I've switched to duckduckgo in 2010 and rarely go back to google anymore.
My dad is a surgeon, so that's my appeal to authority and anecdote. In my country litigation isn't a problem, but unnecessary treatment is. People go doctor shopping to find one that gives them the treatment they want. Same problem, different cause.

On a related note, I put an advert on Gumtree a while back offering to teach/tutor people in programming for free, but didn't get any responses.
I was also frustrated by the sort of arrogant response to all the complaints about non-development topics. It's not like we can't have interesting shows about technical topics! Hypercritical and The Critical Path are proof enough with the same host.

And I wouldn't even mind technical topics about coffee or thermostats (ok maybe I would mind about that). What kills me is the half-baked life coach bullshit that 1/3rd of Build and Analyze is turning in to. I don't need another person telling me how I should value my time. I read those posts from Joel on Software in 2004 just like Marco did.
Could it be that the surgery was deemed too risky to perform on an 88 years old person by french surgeons, and not by the american ones? I have heard similar stories, and that was the case.
Google web search's secret: it's not searching what you tell it to search.

- suggest spelling corrections and alternative spellings
- personalize your search by using information such as sites you’ve visited before
- include synonyms of your search terms to find related results
- find results that match similar terms to those in your query
- search for words with the same stem, like "running" when you search for [ run ]

Sure but the biggest claim I could make from listening to BnA is that marco is kind of a dick. I'm sure that a good 30% of the software I used is written by someone who is kind of a dick. He's not Pol Pot.
Yes and I wonder just how interesting this post would have seemed if it was just some schmuck on G+ instead of His Greatness, hmm?

The fact that so few comments on this post relate to the subject matter of optimization kind of disproves your point.
The reason given when this same article was discussed on reddit was that library authors need to use the same compiler as their customers. In other words, a GCC-compiled Windows DLL is not a drop-in replacement for a MSVC-compiled DLL.

I'm sure this is true for C++ which has a crazily complex ABI for things like classes and exceptions. But is this really the case for plain C? (not in the Linux world AFAIK)

The process of creating and distributing them is totally different.

How they are distributed is different, yes.

But the creation part, not that much.

There were more Wild West coders making things for the Amiga than there are today.

Not sure. There were a few large-ish software houses back then that made the most games (Psygnosis, Ocean, etc). Nowadays there are many more 1-man shops for mobile games.

--Of course I only talk about iOS/Android games. The situation re: desktop is completely different and more like you say--.

And certainly, Amiga didn't have 500,000+ apps (= hundrens of thousands of games), as the iPhone has... I think 10-20,000 would be a better estimation (just guessing though, from what I read at the time and of App Store statistics).

Cloth Painting Tutorial CPT
Totally agreed, and it was how I got my foot in the door with web development.

The first tutorial wasn't, Getting started - adding and subtracting numbers in a REPL or doing some basic Hello World nonsense. It was How to build a blog with PHP and MySQL and I came across it when I found out that I didn't have to hand-code all my pages, even in Dreamweaver (at the time).

Once again I wanted to do something more, and came across the concept of frameworks (this was just when RoR was born), and then, the famous Make a blog in 20 minutes trend of tutorials that all frameworks eventually copied. I did CakePHP's, and I learnt about classes and MVC and separating concerns.

My boss summed it up perfectly: "you need to be given something real to be able to learn from it and enjoy it."

He was right, because I'd never have learned how to create an iOS app (and learned Obj-C) if he didn't give me a fortnight to program a design.
I don't even have a CS degree and this post makes my blood boil. He'd hire a "philosopher" for his company first?

Who do you think makes the operating system that runs your all-important, "real world" app? Who are you going to pay $100K a year to rework your hack of a database schema if your service ever "goes viral"? Yeah, that's right, it's an engineer who learned all that theoretical knowledge.

A lot of CS majors don't know how to code for their life. A lot of MBAs will stab you in the back over equity. A lot of designers in a post Jobs-ian world are self-entitled brats. It turns out that A LOT of people are incompetent and their occupation has nothing to do with it.

If you don't enjoy your major, change it. If you think a philosopher can achieve your product vision, do whatever is best for your company. But the author is a fool to disparage an entire field of knowledge and its practitioners because it is not immediately relevant to whatever his goals are.

I read this post this morning and had the day to put it through "the hopper". Having done so, I think the key take away about "toy" value is the critical necessity of a difficulty curve (though versatility certainly helps).

When my parents moved, there are three types of toys I saved from the donation bin. The first were, of course, Legos. Legos (unlike the author's examples) don't reduce immersion, rather they expand the "set and props" available. Better yet, you can always modify building plans to create unique creations or even build entirely new creations unrelated to the original intent of sets.

The second set of toys I still have are a cabinet of magic props. The illusion of being able to perform impossible feats certainly agrees with the authors assertion that toys are a form of escape for individuals who due to their age are relatively helpless to control their plight. Further, a very real difficulty curve exists in magic beginning with the ability to convincingly perform a trick and fool an audience. Farther along the difficulty curve would be applying techniques in unexpected ways and designing your own illusions.

The final toy that I still adore is my Rubik's Cube. Like Lego's it is a branded product-- gasp..shock-- but it possesses an outer simplicity that quickly transforms into an unending pursuit of faster times. Anyone can solve a Rubik's cube with a few simple algorithms. But, to solve one in under twenty five seconds starts to demand a significant amount of memorization, focus, and spacial awareness. Thus, you can solve the cube in a day but never truly finish solving it if you continue to seek faster times (by the way, current world record is 5.66 seconds I believe).

Programming of course falls into this category as well. On the intro end of the spectrum you can adjust others programs and build simple choose your own path games. But, if you choose, there is always something more to learn, and apply to the game.

P.S. Fun boardgames work in the same manner. The more you play, the better you get and the more complex the strategies. Catan being a prime example.
This argument is tautological and IMVHO disingenuous. Yes, governments do provide legal protections for corporations but it's not the essence of what a corporation is. It's capital and a group of people which is perceived as separate in some aspects from its members.

I would guess that even hunter gatherers were organizing limited liability ventures like hunting parties.

I read a paper about it recently, and it states while everything is good, it will still takes years of research and development, trial and testing before it moves into deployment stage.

I agree with you on both points, but I do very much remember when my iPhone 3G was pretty much EOL'd with the iOS4 upgrade.
I see a re-occurring theme here, The government is trying to use corporations to help it control the people. I just had a thought, how about we start creating corporations that make it easy for the people to control the government? No doubt this would be probably considered evil, about as evil as what the government is doing now, enforcing American law all over the world.

1. Use corporations to get bills pushed through or stopped in congress.

2. Corporations to get people freed from prison, people put into prison, without due process.

3. Corporations to apply pressure and pit agency against agency to get gag orders on government waste machines that flush taxpayer money.

4. etc.

The government is trying to use corporations all around us to turn the citizens into slaves without freedom. In Florida here the government is farming out automated traffic law citations and collections to some company in new york. If you fight it, you are punished with more fines.

We need to get the corporations back on our sides, get them on the side of the entity who pays their light bill.
I can't really tell if it's possible to start with a plain Django project and then add Mezzanine. I have a project or two that could use a better CMS, but only for a very small subsection of the pages.

The documentation seems to indicate that you really need to start with a Mezzanine project, and then add all your Django bits. It makes a lot of sense for a huge number of sites, but perhaps not so much for the type of projects that are primarily need an easy editor for just a few pages of the overall site.
