Well... just off the top of my head, it would make the film insensible for a variety of reasons:

(1) It would make a mockery of what Nolan seems very clearly to intend as a positive ending. In the script he actually tells us he is centering the film on a simple, positive emotional message. So what is that message?

(2) It would create a glaring inconsistency with the symbolic landscape of the rest of the film. Case in point, the dream worlds are strongly associated with water symbolism, which even creeps into the real world when the dream world intrudes: it is a glass of water that sends Fischer to sleep on the plane, while Cobb's waking hallucination occurs while he is washing his face. And yet... unlike any other dream... there is no water at the end of the film. In fact, we have the exact opposite, since we are told the events take place in a garden on a cliff.

(3) An aside, but anytime you have people who are named after apostles frolicking in a garden with Dad, you should jump to asking yourself if there might be Christian imagery lurking there. So what's with all the biblical imagery, or the constant references to "leaps of faith"? Is it really accidental when characters blaspheme, or invoke religious imagery?

(4) the visuals of the children building castles on the beach would suddenly serve no purpose. There would also be no explanation for why Mal is supposed to be bad, when her name clearly suggests she is a malevolent character. Likewise, the names of James, Philippa and Ariadne would be meaningless. Ariadne's mythological role is helping Theseus out of a maze, so what is Cobb still doing stuck in one at the end?

(5) Cobb clearly develops as a person. Why does Nolan go to such pains to show this, and what does it matter if these changes accomplish nothing of significance? Which brings us back to point one, why doesn't Cobb just stay in limbo with his wife?

(6) This is a bit esoteric, but you'll get stuck arguing that Saito's palace is destroyed by water because Cobb was pushed into a bathtub rather than the opposite: that Nolan engineered the bathtub scene in order to find a way to destroy Saito's palace in a storm. This requires a violation of the principle of Occam's razor unless you're prepared to argue that there isn't really any water symbolism in the film, in which case you would be wrong. :)
This post from Muzyka is pretty on point. Very little of the criticism I've seen has been constructive. It's not clear what, exactly, people expected--if the story DAG gets too big, you run out of dev, QA, and voice acting resources.

Mass effect 3 as a whole does tie up quite a large number of previous story threads (Conrad Verner, even!). But the number of earlier choices is just too large to fit them all (or even very many of them) into story variations at the "very end". So they decided to aggregate all those choices into the list of units and resources in the galactic readiness screen.
Out of curiosity, what do you think about appraisals of a person's other qualities? Maybe it's because I'm bad at the whole compliment business anyway, but I'd rather have a female coworker notice that I've started going to the gym (harmless, fun) than to be called smart or a good organizer (ohmygod this actually matters at work, power games!!).

"I say it (I'm not gay, not trying to seduce him, but being fit is very high on my values list)."

Why is it that straight guys have to state the obvious whenever they talk about other men? I tell ya, being a gay nerd, in a company full of "straight" nerds, is like being in the gym; watching the bodybuilders do cartwheels, trying to convince their "buds" they aren't gay for checking out that guy who walked by.

I hear borderline homophobic remarks all day. Like the ever popular, "Gay" or "That's gay". Which applies to practically anything that doesn't go their way ("Gay" has replaced the 80's term "weak").

I was in the Army for 10 years (Ranger for 6 of those years). I have a picture of me sitting on a tank, eating MRE's. Sometimes I turn it facing out. A gentle reminder to anyone walking into my office, who the "real" man is. ;)
That's exactly my point.

Many people think men choose a Ferrari to impress women. That just isn't the case.

Nor can one generalize why women wear anything.
Ok, fine, which model(s)? There's way too much dancing around this from many advocates of eliminating IP laws completely. I am not an advocate of keeping things completely as-is - the producers have too much clout - but think there would be a risk of tossing the baby out with the bathwater were there ever a serious consideration of radically curtailing IP laws. And by radically, I don't just mean shortening the terms, I would consider that quite sensible.
Yes, that too. Man, it's almost as if 'lighten up' is a complex phrase with many different aspects of meaning :) I like the way you do think through all of these different meanings, though

Poll: Native English speakers, how many additional languages do you speak?
Learning another language is probably the most challenging thing I've done, I simply cannot understand what it would be like to be able to speak in another language without translating in my head first!

Some say it's harder for native English speakers to pick up an extra language, even in the target country, as there's likely to always be an English speaker around to help us out if we are struggling.

If you are a native English speaker, how many extra languages are you fluent in?
None, just English
Three or more

Was there any rationale behind choosing C99 over C89?

My university's microcontroller courses were all C89, which seems much more prevalent outside of GCC (in particular, Microsoft's C compiler). C89 might be seen as simpler and more bare-metal for an operating systems course owing to e.g. the inability to create runtime-sized arrays on the heap (despite the archaic refusal to accept variable declarations in for loops..).

Ah, for the Galaxy S2. I have a Desire HD (Inspire) and I already installed ICS a while ago with the IceColdSandwich ROM. I was wondering if CM9 was available for it, but it doesn't seem to be.
There is nothing fairly obvious (or, probably, factual) about women being better note-takers than men. Certainly not to the extent that it's better for someone to automatically ask the woman to take notes, rather than say 'who here is good at taking notes?' and if nobody responds, cycling through everyone, and then having the group decide whose notes are best (or something like that).

Photoshop has become such bloatware that I fear to install it now. I would love Photoshop to go back to its roots, and become a fast slim tool for retouching photos.

Get rid of CS Live, that update program that pops up every day, the 3D menu, Device Central, Share My Screen, the multiple java runtimes that are installed, etc. and just make it easy to edit photos and work with raster images. I can't even find the History panel half the time now.

OK, appreciate you coming back on it. I still think the same thing goes - the investors invest in people they believe are winners - whether its YC or Sequoia. Anyway, my take on it is that luck happens (both bad and good) and its what you do about it that counts. You can grab the good luck and run with it or you can fight back as hard as you can when bad luck strikes, or... you can take it and blame 'bad luck' for your failure

"completely headless" - Xvfb is also not required.

There's no law against refusing to promote weasels. And it's really not too hard to detect them, if you spend any time with them - psychopaths are superficially charming, but always trip up with their continuous and inconsistent lies.

But businesses think "he's a weasel, but he's our weasel". Yeah, right.

The Anatomy of how Anonymous mounts an attack
As an armchair behavorial therapist, I think this is the only attitude that will end up having a positive benefit (the author also does the right thing by speaking up). There is no use in playing victim; when someone does something to you that you don't want, you have to push back.

For reasons cultural or otherwise, men have a tendency to attempt to subtly dominate people they perceive as weaker. To some people, this seems almost like an instinct, and it's really fascinating how just subtly pushing back or ignoring it seems to stop people from doing it with you.

I don't know a lot about how this manifests itself towards women, but if you are a guy, the best solution is to just push back and perhaps actively study and notice the tricks guys use to achieve social dominance. As a formerly shy guy who was often at the receiving end of this kind of behavior, I think that a lot of these gender problems would even out if all women managed to subtly assert themselves a bit more. It would surprise me greatly if women were exempt from this stereotypical male behavior.

That's a very difficult sort of scenario to cope with. You're fresh from school where you adapt, rather than complain, to the environment. You have no experience of work, office politics or whether this is actually how it happens in the real world! You have no peers who understand your perspective.

And if you make a major scene? Everyone starts tiptoeing round you for fear of causing offence.

That, more than the comments themselves, is what is upsetting. The knowledge you can't actually get them to treat you as they treat each other.

There is nothing that restricts the display of a proprietary data layer on top of an OSM render : in the resulting mashup, the variously licensed sources of data each remain in its own layer and there is therefore no mixing of conflicting licenses.

On the other hand, if you produce new data by processing OSM data or mixing it with your own, then you are constrained by the bounds of Openstreetmap's license.
A lot of IT people just want an easy life - doing what they [used to] love, and gradually progress up the chain based on their skills and experience. People who take short-cuts like this probably don't care about the work, their focus is manipulating their way up the organisation.

And if that co-worker says, "I can't. I am busy tonight"

Does that mean you can't ever ask again?

Or if you ask five times and are politely but not definitively turned down can you ask five more times? 25 more times? Is there no limit?

Now we might say there is an obligation to say something definitive. But then you get into a problem. What if there is a power difference? What if you are a general manager of one business unit asking a floor worker in a different business unit out on a date? Maybe the floor worker is afraid if she hurts your feelings, there will be career consequences? So does that change things?

I don't think sexuality (and that includes romance if we are honest) admits of really simple rules except maybe magic safe words. These things also thrive on mixed messages. Magic safe words ("no" and "stop") protect against the worst problems (sexual assault) but not unwanted attention (how am I supposed to definitively know whether the attention is wanted or not? I can't read minds....), and they don't address the areas where people may want to try to get out of something letting the other person down gently.
You have to be careful how you do it as well. Because I offered to do a task like that (it wasn't note taking, I think it was making tea) saying something like [names changed] "Chris, I'm not sure why Amy is always asked to make the tea! I'll happily do it".

Which I thought was politely volunteering whilst also publicly raising my bosses problematic behaviour - an educational experience.

I got glowering dagger stares from "Amy", and afterwards she told me she felt humiliated because I'd exposed her as a target of sexism, which made her feel like a failure.

Which is awful that it had come to that (and in retrospect I was an idiot...).

So; use this approach with caution!

Edit: though in my defence "Chris" did improve no end after that; giving"Amy" only her fair share of mundane tasks, etc.

I ran into a similar problem since some of my pages were taking upwards of 5 seconds to render. But rather than pre-warming the cache I opted for static generation. Here is a small library that does this for django:

https://github.com/stucchio/Stiletto

It's nearly always better for nginx to serve up pre-gzipped content than for nginx to ask django/rails to ask memcached for the same content. It reduces your CPU load as well, so you need fewer servers to scale up.

On EC2, make absolutely sure you are storing the pre-rendered files in ephemeral storage (/mnt, not /var) - instance storage is slow.
I would perhaps also have added a calculation of the power of the test. But I really love that they're actually explaining the details behind it, which a lot of other A/B-test calculators out there don't do.

To be fair to the author of the original article, he suggests buying a round at the pub, which isn't quite on the same scale as buying dinner out for everyone. In the UK that would only be appropriate if you were the manager of the team in question & you had reached a significant milestone in development IMO.

Reciprocal buying of rounds on the other hand is standard issue UK social lubricant. Using "We shipped, yay!" as an excuse to make your's the next round would be exactly the right thing to do.
I doubt that "conversational subtext" was the "industry norm" that tptacek intended to advocate, though I do believe that it's not always appropriate to lay the smack down the second you think you hear something offensive.
Cool! Looking forward to it, thanks :)
I don't think it's about content, it's about usability. I don't want the magazine publisher's 35 different counterintuitive UX innovations all over the artfully designed page with copy too small to read.

I just want to read the content of the magazine without something getting in the way. If the magazine is visual that's fine too, but show pictures or artwork separate from whatever text I'm supposed to read.

Newspapers for IOS suffer from this too. I download a huge app and it works like a website that someone went crazy with animations on.

Blogs are taking market share from magazines b/c lots of what goes into magazines is filler, and blogs don't have the same pressure to publish filler. Consumers of content know the difference and rarely prefer magazine "filler" to decent quality blog posts.

Want to ruin blogs? Give the authors deadlines and tell them what to write about. You'd end up with a magazine.

It's a very easy subject to confuse, thanks for making a correction.

H.264 is literally a document, describing a bitstream that represents a video. Calling H.264 a 'codec standard' is correct in the same way that calling ISO C89 a 'compiler standard' is correct; there are several things you can do to C code without compiling it (for instance, intelligent preprocessing, interpreting, static analysis..). In the same way, there are things you can do to an H.264 standard video without encoding or decoding it (remux, retime, cut, join, ...)

I don't seriously intend you to take this remaining sentence to heart, but to play the pedantry; libx264 is the encoder. x264 generally refers to the command-line client, which happens to contain several decoders - a trivial native YUV decoder, but since about r1400, it's often statically built with all of ffmpeg/libavcodec's decoders, which makes ./x264 or x264.exe a de-facto H.264 decoder (even if it can only output H.264 again)
