AT&T Reinvents the Steering Wheel
I consider the phrase "lighten up" patronizing and would avoid it altogether. I was once told to "lighten up" by an interviewer at a bank and immediately knew that I did not want to work there. It's insulting to suggest that a person ought to have feelings other than the ones they have. In my view, feelings (not behavior) are generally involuntary, largely beyond conscious control and lie outside the moral sphere.

I'm in academia, where the use-mention distinction isn't recognized where sexual innuendo is concerned. To be on the safe side, I take the attitude that even non-interacting, space-like separated particles at opposite ends of the universe could be accused of sexually harassing each other--and probably are.
It's hard to know WTF is going to offend people. The result is a choice between potential opprobrium and insufferable blandness. This is how it happens:

One reason would be if you use a compiled language server side that could be a reason its faster than javascript. another reason would be that rendering pages is usually lighter weight, you already may have a lot of objects in memory on the server, especially if using orm layer caching, etc, as I understand it, a framework like backbone has a slight delay in configuring itself
Presumably a period of faster-than-normal beating would be similar to being dosed with adrenaline? It's intriguing how blood flow rates affect mood.

This Tech Bubble is Different
He implies that googling a problem will generally lead inexperienced developers to incorrect solutions. I think this is false.

He also assumes that Googling won't be the first thing junior developers do when they are given an unfamiliar task. Unfortunately, for too many, this is the case. The solution to that problem is to train junior developers to google. It sounds like the author of this article also has yet to learn the importance of googling first.

A lot of these problems are actually not new and are like the example of the picture. If you google 'how to hang a picture' you will find good explanations. You are unlikely to find a lot of people at the top of the search results who are telling you to cut the drywall.

When it comes down to SAX versus DOM, that's not really quite comparable to hanging a picture. In those types of cases, what you say to the junior developer is 'Google it and come back to me when you've found some example code that you are going to start with'. That way you can guide them if necessary before they get too far in. Or give them a starting direction, being as explicit as possible (point to code example).

If they are googling and coming back with really strange solutions (which, again, you tell them to go over the outline of the solution with you before they start implementing it), then maybe they don't have the intellectual capacity or experience for the tasks you are giving them.

On the second half of this post, he is also wrong. The timid and tentative developers will probably often get along fine with the more senior developers, because they are going to be happy to do things exactly the way they tell them and won't talk back. Part of the time they will be so clueless that they can't get anything done, and since they don't use Google they won't get anywhere but the others will be careful to follow the lead of the senior developers. So the traditional approaches will be passed on and everyone will be happy.

Anyway in the end he more or less gets to his conclusion which is reasonable enough, although stated in a way which I find to be somewhat arrogant. I think the entire basis for this was a fair amount of wasted time which was at least partly the fault of the more senior developer not providing initial guidance or checking in on the junior developer.

It IS definitely helpful when developers, whatever their experience level, are secure and modest enough to ask for other people's knowledge, opinions and help freely. I have found this to be rare. Too often asking questions is simply interpreted quite stupidly to mean that the other developer is ignorant. And also quite stupidly, not know literally everything is interpreted as ignorance.

To boil it down, the author sounds like a dick, should take some responsibility for the wasted development effort that he is trying to put all on the junior developer, should learn to Google himself, read my post, learn to ask questions himself, and work very hard at cloaking his arrogance when he speaks to the junior developer. And no I do not know who this person is and am not actually related to the situation. Article just pushes some of my buttons.

Some games are hard to clone within a few days even with tens of engineers and artists. How fast do you think a Chinese game company could clone Skyward Sword? Or even how fast do you think it would take Zynga for that matter? There are other games too, up and down the spectrum of AAA to garage-indie, that I don't think are so easy to copy in a short period of time--especially not short enough that you could dispel the first mover advantage if it was actually something worth copying. There are of course even more technologies outside the game industry that are hard to copy that startups have already gotten in to or even grown into. Amazon seems like a hard company to copy everything they do and still win.

What's personally depressed me about all these mobile games and their companies is they're all just circle-jerking and ripping off the same games that came out 10-20 years ago as well as digitalizing games that have been around for hundreds of years, and many of them I think "I could clone at least 90% of that in a weekend"... I don't think there's anything morally wrong with them, but it's not my cup of tea for what I want to play or how I would want to make money and I do sense a lack of "taste". I think OMGPOP got their payday, leave them alone. But I also think if you're in the business of what can be easily duplicated in terms of effort, as opposed to flat out copying files, prepare for the big companies to win.

Articles about Women's Dress-up Ideas
Girls or some young women who are busy searching for their occasional gowns like the prom & formal gowns or some sweet cheap cocktail dresses cheer up now!
Try working for smaller companies or startups. There are plenty of Python/Ruby jobs in that category.
I would suggest you to -

1. Keep working on these ideas as weekend projects(when you want to do something other than your regular work, for change). You can keep refining the idea, make UI mockups using bootstrap, code functionality using your language/framework of choice. You don't need to worry about doing it quickly or completing it before some deadline date. Just work on it as a fun projects. When you will get time to actually do it full time or when you find someone who can do it, you won't be starting from zero. Even having a HTML mockup is better than nothing and trust me it doesn't take much time. A good HTML mockup for your ideas can be easily developed at weekends. It will help you with [2]. If you get more time at weekends, you can try adding some functionality - generic(authentication etc) or idea specific.

2. Start networking. Be active on g+/twitter/hn/quora etc. and actively look for good hackers from your area. Attend startup events and make friends. Tell them about your ideas and your vision. Show them your html mockups. Try to bring them in your team.
On the other hand, there are developments in increasing MRI sensitivity that allow them to be effective with weaker magnetic fields. Weaker magnetic fields means less power, less cooling, lower cost, and more widely available.
This was one of the top stories a few minutes ago and suddenly it's on the second page. That's a shame, because it needs to be addressed.

Dear startups,

If you want to do something very innovative, don't apply to YC with it. YC is a three month program designed to make companies; it is not a research program. On the application, you will have to describe what you're working on in three sentences. That's not a design flaw; they're looking for things that can be described in a few sentences.

There have been exceptions -- people that went through the program who were (and are) working on hard problems -- but if you look at the numbers, they are clearly the exception.

YC is great. I'm glad it exists. But understand what it is, not what you want it to be.

The impressive thing is that the powerset guy actually used ("we can do a talent acq for $1-3mm per engineer" if we fail) in his recruiting pitch to hire people (and, presumably in his fundraising).

There's probably a good business model in being an "academy startup" which both shoots for the moon AND is a great place to work, builds skills, and can do a talent sale (or tech sale, maybe) if the product is unsuccessful, building that into the company from the start. That's probably what I'd do, especially if it were based outside the bay area and maybe strongly allied with a great school but lacking other good local employers (Waterloo, CMU, etc.)
Actually this kinda makes sense. "That guy" usually preaches switching to what is latest buzzword. That doesn't lead to anywhere but if you have a person who consistently says "if we switch to whatever(whatever is a const variable here) our workload will be less", and if you don't listen to him and give a chance; you, sir, have made a huge mistake there. If you have that "that guy" in your business, give him a side project which will show whether his perspective is wrong. If not, and if that whatever is easy to learn, code and deploy... why not?

Sure, you should not, and honestly could not, switch frameworks and languages monthly but the coding field is not cast in stone, it evolves, continues to change and will continue to change (until we hit singularity and our a.i.s start to write code based on what we want).
Say 'fuck' or don't say 'fuck'. Don't mask 'fuck', it's the worst of both worlds. People who like swearing will be annoyed, and people who don't like swearing will be annoyed. It can also make you look like you're timid and want to be edgy.

Supervising junior staff is not where this battle is won or lost. Your development culture is going to have the biggest impact on how those young programmers go about their tasks. If you want junior programmers to develop well (software and themselves) you need to attend to the culture they take their cues from.

I worked in a near-ideal development culture once. Twice, I suppose. Everybody was humble. Everybody documented their code. Everybody bounced their ideas off someone; even the smartest guy in the office humbly asked for advice and meant it. Everyone was quick to assume that if other people thought their code was confusing, then it probably was. Everyone assumed they should be able to explain their brilliant idea to anyone else on the team and convince them of its value. Most of what I knew about the codebase at those jobs I learned from guys who knew ten times as much as me drawing diagrams on the whiteboard and asking, "Do you think this will work? Or am I being stupid here?"

A junior programmer would naturally succeed at the picture-hanging problem in that environment because they'd approach it the same way the star programmers approached their work: tell other people what they're working on and what they're thinking, and make sure they can articulate and justify an idea before they commit themselves to it.

That's the ideal. Most cultures fall short of that in one way or another. In a completely opposite situation, if the star programmers work in isolation, disdain to discuss their work with lesser programmers, neglect to document their code, and aspire to write code that no one else understands, junior programmers will learn some very unhelpful lessons. This is true even if the star programmers are getting shit done and writing efficient, correctly functioning code, because they're basically (and I shudder to use this word because I don't want to start the wrong kind of conversation) peacocking. They're getting stuff done the hard way and proving they can thrive in a completely unsupportive environment. There's unspoken machismo, which put into words would sound like this: "Nasty opaque codebase? What's wrong, can't take the complexity, little man?" "Gosh, I would have written some comments if I knew some people needed them." That's the kind of environment where a programmer is going to either wilt and do something really stupid because they've already given up or "rise to the challenge" and try to make a drywall saw using a 3D printer.

Take care of the culture: set a good example, promote respect and humility among your developers, and don't exempt anyone from good practices. Then junior programmers will find their way even if you don't have time to guide them yourself.
I interviewed once for a graphics driver programming position for Imagination Tech. (who own PowerVR) and my impression was that they were indeed absolutely paranoid about open source.
The first thing the guy had a go at me for was my pretty meager contributions to open source. Apparently this was a solid indicator that I would give out all the company secrets!
I hope that the discussion of this topic doesn't make men paranoid about saying anything around women, because the fun and banter is one of the things that makes working in IT so enjoyable.

This is what most people do when things come with thousand strings attached.

I never talk to women unless and until it becomes completely unavoidable. And if it is needed, I just restrict to whatever minimal it would take to 'get the job done' for the moment.

I know about guys, you can tell anything to them. In fact in my team guys joking guys is so common, its considered abnormal if they don't joke.

But with women, you can never be sure, you don't even what offends and what not. So keep interactions to bare minimum.
And while we're on it, make sure websites are operable by keyboard too (tab and enter, mostly). What for? Visually impaired people.

I know someone who is totally blind, has worked with MS-DOS while he could see, but got blind before Windows 3.1 even came out. Yet he works with and version of Windows, sends and reads email, searches videos on Youtube, and browses the web. That last one is becoming more and more tricky with div-onclick="location=somewhere;" (instead of a-href) and other Javascript all over the place.

Screen readers are made to read text. Flash is hard but sometimes possible, Javascript is becoming a good competitor to Flash in the sense of that it's rendering the web almost as inaccessible.

Images too are a problem of course, without alt attribute they are totally worthless to blind people.

So if you want to present something to the entire market, be sure to have either an accessible website or a mobile version, both preferably in the local language (you should hear how Dutch text to speech software reads English, sounds more like Chinese--literally). And there are about 160 million people blind around the world, even if only a tenth of that speaks English and has internet access, that are 16 million people. Nearly as much as the entire population of the Netherlands.

I'm a heterosexual man and I wear certain jeans because I
like to show off my butt. That's fine. But am I doing it
because I want to attract "female attention"? Not exactly.
This turns on a subtle point, but it's very important: I
wore them for me, not for anyone else. Feeling attractive
is not the same as receiving attention. I don't want to be
honked at, felt up, leered at, or even commented on. But I
do want to look good. Does that make sense?

No, it doesn't make any sense. It completely disingenuous and you don't even realize it. The question you need to address is: why do you want your butt to look good? And the answer is: for the women. Because you want to attract 'female attention'. There is no other reason to care about whether your butt looks good. You could wear any decent pair of trousers that does not show off your butt and the only thing that would change is how much attention you would get from women.

And as for 'being commented on': the only reason you even know it looks good, is because people have commented on it, in whatever way.

Everything we do, everything, is infused with a desire to mate. You can try to deny that, but that doesn't make it go away. That is exactly what leads to the "lighten up" attitude: trying to defend you acting out on your desire to mate. The only way to reduce the influence of that desire is by acknowledging it and actively attempting to diminish its influence.

"Oh come on, my grandma/dog/goldfish would write better code!!!"

This would be a totally acceptable jab among guys, yet saying this to a female coworker would immediately be misinterpreted as "woman are bad at coding" promptly followed by the full wrath of the HR gender equality team.
Yes, but not the tautological is. "People should not be sued for their entire worth for pirating songs," isn't derived from, "People like to pirate songs." It's derived from, "punishment should be equitable," "pirating a few songs isn't that big of a deal," and "that's scary." And those are derived from even further beliefs.

The important question is, if you take the root beliefs and walk back up the tree, do all of the beliefs come to an overall support of free copying? Then you do that in aggregate for society, taking into account uncomfortable truths about the economics of music production and advertising where necessary and on a level individuals won't when they derive their inevitable personal free-riding preferences. Going from high level feeling to high level feeling ("I like file sharing" -> "file sharing is right") does not work. Almost everyone says that they would prefer to pay less tax too.

To put it another way, there are plenty of things people would do if they could get away with it. Not paying taxes, driving as fast as they want, tossing cigarette butts wherever, etc. Your exact argumentation could be used to say, "Society's views about these activities need to change," but that's not actually the case. All you are observing is that people will take advantage of situations where they can get away with something, even if it's not ultimately good for society as a whole. In no way do I accept the norms that you're deriving from this. Rather, I should say that I don't accept the way you are deriving them. My personal jury is still out on whether I think filesharing is a problem that needs to be addressed more or less forcefully.
I would estimate it's some combination of the text, links, and most importantly domains. get some spf records setup for your from domain.

Hope that helps :)

We had a similar conundrum at LayerVault a few months ago. It can be quite costly to rebuild file histories in a quick manner. We offloaded the tasks and denormalized the data a bit and now our pages scream.
Wow. I didn't realize there is actually peer pressure in IT companies not to use knowledge of social relationships and human nature for your own benefit. In my opinion, the general unwillingness of computer workers to stand up for their own rights and interests is keeping our entire profession back from getting the money and respect it deserves. If we actively sabotage efforts of people who are trying to improve things, I don't see that there is much hope. Being nerds does not have to imply being clueless nerds.
I wonder if they've paid any heed to case-sensitive filesystem users.
Or at least stopped shafting them with the "Please install to another volume [but I won't let you select another volume.]" installer.

Probably not :(
Right on target.

I see lots of these young programmers in every single project I work with.

Usually they tend to be hired by Fortune 500 companies (the customers my employer works for), as they are on salary level quite cheap.

But in the end their googling for solutions usually do more harm than good to the projects.
