Ah, okay. I contend that Dell machines aren't computers because they rarely have green LEDs anymore, and surely all computers have green LEDs!

It is interesting to note that by your definition, Solaris, surely a highly traditional UNIX, was, for a long time, not a UNIX (it didn't ship with development tools).
Agree.

You install the 'XCode Command Line Tools' as provided by Apple, or one of a number of third-party packages.

Similarly, on many unices, you will need to install a compiler (and particularly autotools); they are not always part of a default install, which may be just as well.

Doran Bros - Attic Conversions
Well, now you have to define better. What makes one programming language better than another? For some people, a better is a more elegant mathematical model. For others, better is popularity. Still others favor raw performance, portability, or ease of learning.

Someone who absolutely loves parentheses and capital letters would probably favor LISP 1.5 over Clojure.
I've yet to encounter a language that flows as nicely as Perl does, from thought to code. I haven't been a serious programmer for many years, and I can still sit down, after months or years of not writing any code, and hack out some Perl code almost as fast as I can type. One of these days when I have some time I'll need to get my Perl skills up to 2012 levels as the language has moved on so much from where I was when I sat down with "Perl for Dummies" in 2000 and became proficient enough in the language in a week to build some fairly major linguistics tools for the company I was working at at the time. (As a set of total side projects to my normal C++ production life).

Once you realize that the control structures flow like an English sentence, once you grok that, the language simply gets out of the way. It's not bound to an ivory tower of a certain paradigm. It's a human language. Sure you can write Perl that's almost unreadable, but you can do that in many programming languages, and you can do it in real human languages. Written well, reading Perl is like reading beautiful poetry.

Case in point, I once wrote a program in Perl, about 30,000 lines of code (which by Perl standards is relatively large, a Java port ended up about six times as large), then didn't see it for 2 years. I was asked to guide a team to port the code to Java, I sat down one afternoon, and just read the code like a book. After that I almost never had to refer to the code again, and guided the team through the rest of the porting process. I knew it like I had just read a novel. Cause and effect was obvious, the bundling of the chapters (modules) made dramatic sense, and when I had to refer to the code to show it to one of the Java devs, it took seconds to find the code segment in notepad of all things.

Very little boilerplate, the best integration of regexes in the industry, yet still powerful enough to write major sites and applications in.

Downside: it ruined me as a developer, all the BS you have to go through in other languages to just get something done seems like such busy work. I ended up writing a set of libraries in C++ to handle lots of things in a perlish sort of way, typeless primitives, perl style containers, etc. But at the time C++ didn't have the same kinds of sentence-like control structures and simple regex matches always became a dozen lines of compiling regexes and then matching, and then iterating some data structure to get at the results. Painful.

Java became intolerable. I remember the last time I sat down to write something in Java, spending hours hunting through the standard library documentation thinking "this is bullshit, I shouldn't have to create xyz minor feature from whole cloth, it's got to be in the standard library, for fuck's sake Java has 3 gui frameworks and I have to parse a csv file by hand!!!"
I think he handled it pretty well. Could happen to anybody.
Please Review Amazon EC2
Yep, possibly. It might make it more resistant to EM interference from the sun, or something, but not from a huge electromagnet.
Absolutely...not, well some do. I stopped using/contributing to Gaim/Pigdin a long time ago because of this. Ask for a simple feature and explain why it's helpful for you as to show meritorious reason for requesting said feature, only to be insulted, disrespected, or at the very least turned down without consideration.

I stopped reporting bugs to ubuntu as well. Because real bugs were turned into questions or closed, or ignored.

So I took up programming and will never use it again. there are plenty others out there. I always thought open source software was a great idea. It's starting to seem like capitalism in disguise.

I recently finished Peter Hessler's book Country Driving (all of his three China books are excellent, by the way). Workers wanting more OT (and more guaranteed hours in general) is a common refrain in the third of the book which deals with the emerging factory towns in Wenzhou province. Working at the smaller factories entails unsteady, unpredictable hours. Another major concern for workers is not working under too dangerous conditions, represented in the book by fake leather factories, which use chemicals with foul, dangerous fumes in their manufacturing process. Taking everything into account, I imagine a place like Foxconn must look attractive compared to most of the ready alternatives.

Página/12: Especiales: “La felicidad es una idea fundamental”
My first job in embedded systems required everyone to do pretty much all of these things. Each developer handled their own modules from user facing UI through to the HW (more or less). We had to architect and design things before implementing them (No one checked.. and it wasn't enforced... it's just the way the culture works) we then became individually responsible for implementation and bug fixing until the QA dept said it was A+.

After that there was a module review by 5 randomly selected engineers that would tell you what parts of the module was a messy hack and make you go fix it. I miss this culture.

That explains IMHO the average cycle of 5 years per employer.
Year one: Your happy that everything is new, you learn a lot and are releaved to have quit your old job.
Year two: You start to see the cracks, but you are still motivated and full of energy, right? You try to fix it and still happy.
Year three:You can't fix everything and you start to hit walls. You realize things aren't actually that different from before but still different. you hang on.
Year four: After a possible internal change you finally realize that it's just more of the same in a different colour, you start to think about another change.
Year five:the same shit as before, without a perspective, at least non you like, you find something else. The cycle starts again.

Good people management as discribed in the article and the linked articles can mitigate this. Really good companies may add a cpuple of years, perfect ones may retain you forever if they exist at all. But sooner or later you will get something different, not necessarily better. Sad thing is that alo tof companies, and I don't mean your direct boss here but companies in general, do near to nothing about it. The end result being that the whole system is nearing the absolute average, the talents either being bosses (if they adapt, pgs essay on popularity comes to my mind), burned out and disillusioned (pretty likely) or start-up founders (where possible and hopefully successfull).

Why I love Ruby on Rails
I also consider myself to be a starter and debugger. I have dozens of half-baked projects in the project graveyard on my hard drive.

I think part of my problem is what's described in the article - I start the project, solve the hard problem, and then move on to learn something else.

Slime molds choices of the most rational motorways
I agree Perl is great for everything listed except:

sub function_name
{
my ($var1,$var2..) = @_;

}

I know why methods are like that, but it doesn't make me any less unhappy to have to read a function in order to figure out what types and what order I need to pass values to a function.

There's a few Perl programmers at work who end up using just a bunch of global variables instead of doing pass by reference or returning values from subs.

sub do_something {
# modify %my_global_hash
}

It's just strange working with Perl after working in more OO languages. But, like you said, Perl adapts to your style. I want it more like other languages I've written in, whereas the people I work with don't.

Overcoming the "User Designer" Disease
I don't know who I am anymore and I can't tell anyone
Inspired by "I'm burning out and I can't tell anyone".
My story is about the same. I think I'm at the stage that comes after the burning out.

I'm a single, 30yo, systems architect at a quite known and popular Web company (top 30). I also have a strong open-source persona and pretty useful projects out there (overall around 2000 watchers, I guess). HN score of about 1400, all from feedback on projects I've released.

I'm the guy who always get a crazy eyebrow raised when people hear I don't have my own start up yet. I get tons of offers from CTOs, CEOs and founders to co-found/participate, and I usually think of the people offering them as misguided and naive.
And if we're anonymous, let me throw in that I used to be a hacker, cracker, around 13 years ago, when I was in high school.

End background.

I find myself waking up at 8:30am, at work at 9:30am, finishing up at 19:30-20:00pm and at home by 21:30pm tops (I'm not living in the US). I still have most of my vacation quota unused.
This leaves me with about 3 hours of free time where I do my open source work. Of that I allocate 1 hour to my girlfriend daily. I tried managing my life the traditional ways, and non-traditional ways (kanban). I even tried putting home tasks on a kanban and trying to measure velocity. All to get more time out of a day, more efficiently.
I'm constantly in burn-out mode, but I found that I can take it.
I become depressed, agonized, my back is killing me (even though I am in top shape -- used to compete athletically) and I cry like a girl alone sometimes. But then I pick myself up and move on; pick a task and do it.

Hero? no.

I got back to my home town yesterday (writing this hung over). Met my old friends: married + kids, and the sorts. Simple jobs (bus driver, photographer), 0-stress.

Where am I? where is the _exquisite_ systems architect? yes, I solve crazy problems (over 100M users), scalability and performance is my motto, but still struggling with a couple hours of free time per day, making my employer's dream come true (On several occasions, I had direct first hand influence on company's success -- i.e. if no me, no success, or at least considerable fiasco).

I have no friends (its quite hard to keep in touch when you have a couple hours a day, which you already use up).
I barely see my family.

I'm not half the man I used to be, before the University-startup-startup-startup-enterprise-startup jobs run.

Should I give up everything to be a bus driver, a photographer, and move to a quiet town, leave the city and all of my skills and knowledge?
I don't know who I am anymore.
That's the question that bothers me.

Anyone recognizes this?
I'm a good starter and a good finisher. It's the middle of the project where my motivation can dip, particularly on side projects.

I love taking a seed of an idea and running with it into prototypes etc.

And I also love doing that final layer of polish, trying to break my code and handle edge cases and tweaking user experience.

I think it's because I approach the start and the end from the users perspective, but then the middle of the project can sometimes feel a bit disconnected from the user.

Something like writing your persistence layer doesn't really feel as though it's contributing to the vision of what you want to build.

Python does an admirable job of being pretty fun to hack in (you're right, not as much fun as Perl, but not bad), but the end result is that the code is far more readable for others and I think works a bit better in large scale production environments. Perl has come a long way as a response, but there's no doubt that Python ends up with cleaner code.

I'm not arguing with that, just pointing out that the reason why people feel at odds with that practice is not because they don't understand why it's like it is, but that they don't agree with it morally.

TL;DR - no. And that's before considering the validity of their data collection method.

The general OSS project tend to start when someone has an itch to scratch. They build something which solves that problem and upload the source somewhere. The next step is determined by 2 questions:

1) Does the developer keep having the same itch?
2) Does the developer get support from a company or someone else who has the same itch?

If not, the code becomes part of the Sourceforge wasteland of unmaintained, unused code.

Github is an interesting attempt to keep the itch-scratching alive by making forking easy, but when there are 10 different forks for similar functionality, all by people of unknown coding ability, rewriting or reforking becomes the safest option.

Visual Studio 11 Beta Performance Part #3
Actually it doesn't even do that! It does so little - that r= argument just has to be a class that is autoloadable and implements the Runnable interface.

In fact, if you want routes you'd have to build it as a package and in FACT you could just create a class like this:

class RocketHam implements rocketsled\Runnable
{
public function run()
{
$app = new Ham();
$app->config_from_file('settings.php');

$app->route('/pork', function($app) {
return "Delicious pork.";
});

$hello = function($app, $name='world') {
return $app->render('hello.html', array(
'name' => $name
));
};
$app->route('/hello/<string>', $hello);
$app->route('/', $hello);

$app->run();
}
}

then put your ham/ directory in packages with a file rs.config.php:

spl_autoload_register(function($class)
{
if($class == 'Ham')
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/ham.php');
}

then use .htaccess or something similar to route all requests to:

index.php?r=RocketHam

Simply wait ;-) probably with age your sight will decrease and at one point you simply will stop to see difference.
I guess that 70% or more of people in theirs 30's will have problem with seeing difference (except brighter colors). Of course in one or two years everything will have screens with more pixels, but from some point it will be always only marketing thing.

As for now if you look on 22 cm long screen with resolution 1280 pixels for width, and you keep screen in 0.5 m distance it means that one pixel have size of 1.17 minute, so some, and maybe even most of people aren't able to distinguish single pixels.

Some people are using tablets for work, some are doing the same on phones, but for many computers are much more comfortable.

The same, after reading several books on tablet I much more like reading on Kindle, it hasn't this ugly glossy screen when I can see me instead of text ;-)

Man, use some of that vacation time. And during it cut all tech ties. Take a bunch of books -- good books (not tech ones, although science is OK), can even be eBooks (if on a device without Net access!) -- and do nothing but relax and read and think.
