It's an even older truth that people believe those who disagree with them are wrong (and less intelligent, less careful, misled, etc.).

It's far too easy to fool yourself and then believe others are the fools.

See Feynman's discussion of confirmation bias in the measurement of the charge of the electron: http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm and remember that this is scientists doing experiments and publishing results.
Create (http://createjs.org/) is no where near the quality of Mercury Editor, (http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/) me thinks.
Agreed. There is a huge chunk of the population that believes CK is the best working comedian today which definitely gave him some early traction (early adopters)

I would say something more along the lines that a person like Dane Cook has many more fans by the numbers and if he pursued a project like this it would potentially have done even better than CK.
I occasionally get to work with the Astronomical Society and have gotten into a few conversations about manned Mars missions with people from NASA, JPL and various educational institutions. The numbers are from a study NASA conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The problem with shielding is the weight involved to achieve any level of protection.. wrapping the ship in enough lead to make a difference would be hard to get it off the ground. Also while this type of shielding may be effective against normal solar radiation, high energy galactic cosmic rays are far more dangerous and are almost unaffected by conventional shielding.

If you're interested, I recommend this paper. It goes a bit deeper into exactly why radiation is such a problem for any proposed Mars missions (warning, PDF):

This thread made me want to look for the website I made in 1996 as a 14 year old in the Wayback machine. Sadly, it was not available.

I did find my website made as a 16 year old. Unfortunately all of the images were missing. From what I remember, it was actually a pretty nice design. I think I'd still be proud of it if I had built it today.
Google certainly has an interest in extending android battery life, you would be silly to suggest anything else.
I don't understand how it's a confusing concept that one particular work setup isn't universally beneficial.

I understand -- you don't like open-plan offices, you don't think that they're an effective environment. That doesn't mean that they're universally terrible; it may work for some companies, and it may fail for others.

That's awful. I loved this book as a kid, and recommend it to every young person. The series as a whole taught me quite a bit about human nature.

I would not call it pornographic at all - The few scenes in the book where there is nudity, there is very little that's sexual about it. In other parts of the series, I will agree that it may not be appropriate for 14 year olds.

I wonder what the parents are overreacting to.
I suppose I could use $var === False, to prevent it pick up empty results.
HDD transfer speeds do increase as storage density's increase. It might be more accurate to say 30x the space but only square root (30) times the transfer speed.
I wouldn't call that computationally efficient. It is possible to make routing an O(log n) operation; your routing solution, like all routers that use regexes directly, is O(n).

This has always totally baffled me. You can hire three developers in the Midwest for the price of two in SF.

My friends in Silicon Valley say it's because if a developer is any good they move out there. Quite simply that is just not true. They may be less reluctant to work for a startup, but those that will aren't being asked.
nudity != pornographic
Several sections of brutal violence from memory - the first fight at school, where they realized he had what it took to fully commit to victory, and then the shower sequence - which really was quite brutal.

Not inappropriate for Jr. High, but maybe a bit mature for eighth grade. I don't think a suspension is warranted on purely this basis - I'm sure there is more to the story.
Writers can do that.

There's no requirement for a writer to submit content to Apple (iTunes store) or Amazon (Kindle store). A writer can format documents in .mobi, .epub and .pdf files and sell them through any digital storefront (either home brewed or something like leanpub among many others)

If a writer wants the exposure from being on the Kindle Store or iTunes Store, that's another matter. But there's no requirement that a writer sign up for such a distributor.
I agree with you in principle about the abstraction issues in CSS, however I would submit that CSS constant's contribution to the problem is negative. It simplifies real-world CSS to have constants, and this has frankly been obvious for about 15 years now.

As for the rest of CSS, I've really been rolling around to "just create a canonical JS binding and be done with it"; it's headed headlong into the Turing Tarpit and as long as it's going to end up there one might as well use a language designed to live in it.
Hm, i was 13 in 1996, now i am a fulltime web developer ;)
This might sound like a stupid question, but here it goes. What if you lined the astronauts in a room with a control unit and really thick lead walls for most of the journey?

Could this theoretically stop radiation, and protect them? Lead blocks most radiation, specifically gamma.

I really enjoy working in an open plan office. The distractions don't really bother me and I appreciate the energy level going around. I obviously use headphones to cancel out noise when I need to focus, sometimes just playing white noise tracks or no sound at all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPoqNeR3_UA is a personal favorite).

Having a heavy distraction-oriented work flow forces you into a mode where you segment your tasks as atomically as possible, for example using the pomodoro technique. There are certainly times when a quiet space is necessary, and I will retreat away from my desk to a library or quiet corner where I'm not near people.

I wonder how much of this is because I am young (24). My generation has grown up bombarded by distractions. So much so, in fact, that I find that there are equally many distractions inside of my computer as there are coming from the office plan.

Actually it's not especially neurotoxic in and of itself. It's the withdrawal from alcohol that causes brain damage, IIRC because when you drink a lot your brain starts getting its energy from alcohol, and when you stop it takes a while to switch back to burning regular glucose. (This is probably not exactly correct, but it's something like this.)

Anyway there are various neuroprotectants you can take to reduce the amount of brain damage. Although if you are drinking in moderation it isn't much of an issue because your brain won't be getting its energy from the alcohol to begin with.

That said, alcohol is pretty terrible for you in general, and it definitely isn't a good idea if you're depressed because it causes inflammation, among other things.
In 10 years of working with startups, small niche businesses, and large corps I've been exposed to the following:

1) Cube Farms in large corps
2) Private offices for everyone in a startup founded by Microsoft alumni.
3) Team Rooms of 3-5 people max.
4) Large open areas with no cube walls at all.
5) Working from home (what I do right now)

Based on this experience, I think the optimal solution is the 3-5 person team room. It works well because it allows for a high degree of collaboration while keeping folks outside the team at arms length to limit distraction. In this environment, we shipped a working product written from scratch within 3 months.

Open plan offices were by far the single most distracting environment. Ironically, I was at the same company when we switched from a 3 person team room to an open floor plan to cut costs. The productivity hit was enormous.

Cube farms are actually better than open floor plans. They're far less impressive and drab, but the cube walls serve as a minor barrier to interruption since they require getting up and walking to make eye contact.

Working from home is great for productivity as a single programmer, but collaboration is more of a challenge, and it requires solid leadership capable of defining problems very clearly and staying focused. That's a tall order for most startups where the ground is constantly shifting.

Private offices were great for a single programmer working on a well defined problem, but difficult to foster the right collaborative environment. It's hard to institute concepts like pair programming and code review under this setup.

To be fair, Emacs has had a package manager package, package.el (heh), for quite some time now. It can download and install packages from a repository, like Marmalade, though I've found it to be a bit shaky in the past; I've had to manually delete the files of a botched package, and then who-knows-what to get it to fully disappear.

It's, thankfully, been bundled in the default Emacs 24. And, thank the ghosts of the ancient lispers, that savagery of having a million-zillion different autocompletion interfaces for every damned thing may finally be put to an end with the new standardized autocompletion thingy.

Create is the CMS UI shell around a WYSIWYG editor (well, potentially around other widgets you need like datepickers and choosers as well). We could use Mercury quite easily as another editor option.

Create's editor options are provided as jQuery UI wrapper widgets, for example: https://github.com/bergie/create/blob/master/src/editingWidg...

This discussion starts from the premise that developer time is the most critical thing for which you must optimize your organisation.

The most critical thing is usually the customer and optimizing for the customer means doing things differently:

* having the developers take customer calls and help requests

* increasing the amount of time the developers spend understanding the users - in order to reduce the amount of irrelevelant work being done

* cultivating a culture of 'code not written'

Do you really think that cranking code is the most important thing your organisation does?

I've been burnt by this in the past. Nowadays I use ($found === false) to check for a cache miss (though this means you can't store boolean values verbatim).

This is why:

!array() -> true

!null -> true

!false -> true

!0 -> true

!"0" -> true (!!?)

!"" -> true

Seems like a safe bet that the parents are overreacting to their kids' reports of the book's contents. I can imagine a young teenager mentioning the fact that the children in Ender's Game are sometimes nude (albeit in a nonsexual way). There is almost no chance that the parent(s) have actually read the book.
I was under the impression that z-fighting was a result of floating point rounding errors when two depth values are very close together. The clipping errors I'm seeing don't seem to be correlated with surfaces that are very close in depth.

Off topic but I'm currently looking for a font size plugin for hallo, do you happen to know if one exists? (or anything using a select box).
Ideas?

But in all seriousness I think the average 14 year old is exposed to far more objectionable material in a Shakespeare play. The average simpleton that complains about the 'moral turpitude' usually isn't smart enough to notice how gaudy one can be.

These are the same people that would have issues with Aslan the Christ allegory in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for 'magic'.
TL;DR summary: I find open-plan offices very distracting, and I know some other people do, therefore they are distracting for everyone and should be eliminated.

I don't understand why there are so many blog posts describing how "X must die" or "Y is the only good approach to doing Z." If something works well for you, then that's wonderful! Please share it and explain the benefits and downsides and convince me to give Your Favorite Method a try. Describing how Your Favorite Method is actually The Only Reasonable Method (and by extension, that I am wrong/stupid/naive/etc. to be doing anything else) will rarely win me over.
To be fair the the grandparent, the difference between immutable data structures and final variables in imperative languages is large and fundamental. If the author is (and I don't know, because I haven't read the article recently) making this analogy then it is going to be extremely confusing for some people.

I don't think anybody has written that plugin yet. Could you post a ticket? I'm spending some days on Hallo and Create next week, and so could possibly write one.
I didn't read the whole paper, but your own link completely disagrees with your 52,000mrem/520sV-figure:

approximately half of this value accumulates on planetary surfaces (Cucinotta et
al., 2006; NCRP, 2006).

That's millisieverts per day, not sieverts. Am I missing something?

It's hard to tell from your post how much of this is about you and how much is about your startup's culture. For each case, figure out what you can do to improve the situation.

You:
I completely agree with patio11's diet & exercise point. Strenuous exercise (over 30 min) releases endorphines that act as both analgesics and sedatives, and are shown to reduce depression, increase self-esteem, etc. You owe it to yourself and your startup to do this life hack no matter what the cause of your current unhappiness.

Of course, diet, sleeping well, and taking time off/socializing are also great ideas. The important thing is to take action now before it affects your life/startup any more than it has.

Your startup:
If you think some of your resentment or depression is due to dysfunction in your startup, then come up with ways you can improve it. Focus on actions you can take rather than on ways other people/the group could change. I also find that people are more likely to change when asked to do something than when asked to "not do" something.

For example, if workaholism is an issue, it's easy to fall into outward/"don't do" thinking like this: telling the group that the amount of time required is making you unhappy, and that it should change. Instead, try saying something like, "I think I'll work better if I take a whole day off every two weeks and I'd love it if people joined me. My first day off will be x day, and I'm going to go hiking, let me know if you want to come." People love to join a good idea.

Good luck!
Some teams benefit more from immediate responses than "flow state". If you're running a operation where there's lots of small features and design niggles, brainstorming them out with the rest of the team might be better than achieving perfect zanshin, but still having no idea, or doing 8 hours of back-and-forth intense coding then finding out that there's a standard library function or better algorithm that your co-worker could have told you hours ago.

Granted, this would mostly apply to teams who are either very newbie-heavy or work on very small feature increments at a time - or both. And maybe some designers, but I'm not qualified to talk about that. For most other purposes, more isolated environments with a good tech solution for communication would be preferable (IRC, Basecamp, Jabbber etc.)

> If they reported it to the sender it would be easier for spammers to learn how to work around it.

Of course, it would also mean those of us sending legitimate e-mails that get canned by these ever-more-aggressive spam filters know that someone did not receive the information they asked us for so we can do something about it.

Silent failure breaks e-mail. It is irresponsible, and the damage due to not getting a legitimate message through can be far greater than the damage due to letting a spam through (which you wouldn't be anyway, the spammer would just know they're not making it).

A full dependent type system is nominally “the most powerful system imaginable”, but it’s also hopelessly problematic. You can’t be sure that type inference or type checking will halt in the general case, although you can infer some value-dependent types (see “Dependent Type Inference with Interpolants” by Unno & Kobayashi).

In practice this means you need manifest type signatures, otherwise the type of a function would be “lol iunno ¯\(°_o)/¯”. Then again, Haskell requires signatures in some cases, such as for Rank-N types, or when you run up against the Dread Monomorphism Restriction. So yeah, Agda and Coq are awesome, but most useful as what they’re designed to be—proof assistants—rather than general-purpose languages.

tl;dr: A constrained system such as Haskell’s, with extensions for aspects of dependent typing, is more practical than actual dependent typing.
Well it means colours are accurate and it can display any colour. It means photos look great, it helps with design because you can see subtler colour layers and stuff.
This, as a former resident of South Carolina and family member of someone who works in that state's educational system does not surprise me at all. South Carolina has probably the most fidgety, hammer from God mentality at the state education level.
