"No one is talking about going into your bank account and taking money out"

My place of employment deposit my salary directly into my bank account, sans taxes. Are you saying that there is a material difference between taking the money before they end up in my bank account (i.e I never see them) or after (e.g. I have to write a check to the government each month)?
For a lot of users, WYSIWYG is good, especially if it really integrates with the web page you're trying to edit (not a non-styled IFRAME like in the traditional CMS editors).

I also usually write in Markdown, but the latest breed of editors is starting to be good enough that I may be able to swap. And as for <hr />, that is usually configurable in the editor setup.

The Presbyterian church I grew up in used grape juice instead of wine. In other ways, it was fairly progressive - especially in the kind of music played/performed during services. And the teachings were fundamentalist in a completely different way than most folks think of fundy christians.
MVVM / Declarative Initialization And HTML5 Data Attributes
This is similar to the announcements from Intel about advances in lithography. Intel announced the 32nm process technology in 2009 -- that process gives them a platform to refine and improve their technology.

So now, a top of the line Xeon is faster, has 10 multi-threaded cores, includes AES acceleration, and uses 20% less power than it's predecessor 3 years ago... thanks to that base technology.

If you're running a business that generates/consumes alot of storage, this announcement means that you need to start thinking about how to deal with a petabyte of storage capacity with performance characteristics similar to what you have today. (for 1/30th capacity)

Private offices are definitely the most productive. Developers should avoid firms that do not understand this basic piece of information. Conversely, those firms that understand that their success depends on getting the best people will build office space to help recruit those people.
This feels a little serendipitous considering that (spoiler alert if you haven't read the story yet...) safety razor shaving has seen somewhat of a resurgence in recent years.

New (albeit small) companies have sprung up offering a new spin on an old tradition, old products are available new again, people are scouring yard sales, pawn shops, and antique stores and replating very old razors, etc. There are many variations on that simple razor design, all to some extent alter the shave quite a bit.

Safety razor shaving actually looks to be a decent hobby, provided you're willing to spend the extra time each morning.

60TB is 2+ years of HD video at typical bitrates. It's two months at a patently absurd 100mbps. You could write every bit of traffic passing through a 10gigabit link for 14 hours.

Assuming a 100-year lifespan, if every second of your life were recorded at 5mbps, you would need just 30 such drives.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident about my prediction as to most workloads.
The benefits of stepping away from being overworked and overstressed, to relax and have one or two beers, far outweight any toxicity in those two beers. If you can always mentally shutoff and relax after a day of concentration without a beer, then all power to you, but a beer (read: 1) is a well known and decent shortcut.

A similar system is discussed for CEOs as well. The entrepreneur who starts a company is not always a great consolidator who gets everything settled and organised into a functioning whole once the money starts coming in.
The next two I think are substantial growth (being able to take an established business and grow it into a dominant player in its industry) and the last I think is something like holding, being able to take a large (and usually somewhat unwieldy) business and keep it from losing ground.

There's probably a few variations on these as well (and I might be misremembering them slightly).
Seems quite similar to the classic magneto-optical (MO) disk drive technology that was (at least briefly) popular:

The MO drives use a laser to heat the recording substrate to the Curie temperature during the recording path, too.
You must have read a different article than the one I read.

"Functional programming is a practical implementation of Alonzo Church's ideas. Not all lambda calculus ideas transform to practice because lambda calculus was not designed to work under physical limitations. Therefore, like object oriented	programming, functional programming is a set of ideas, not a set of strict guidelines. There are many functional programming languages, and most of them do many things very differently. In this article I will explain the most widely used ideas from functional languages"

No where does he say that functional programming is pure programming.

This test was run on a Nexus One, which was released in 2010. I'd be curious to see if they got the same results on a newer phone. I'd be willing to bet that this is mostly because ads require more network requests, which aren't as efficient on newer phones.

Something smells of a researcher cherry-picking a result that shows off their tool's results in the best possible light. I suppose I don't have any way to prove that, but I have to ask why the researcher didn't try the test on another phone.

Of course, you could do it, but why would you, almost every metric that you'd want to use would be off. You're comparing a compiled language with lightweight threads aimed at just-above-low-level programming backed by a single vendor with an interpreted language that is mostly geared towards single threads of execution with a very high level of expressiveness that is developed by a bunch of open source gurus under the supervision of a benevolent dictator.

The development model (benevolent dictator/backing company) does not have anything to do with the comparison. The license is also orthogonal. Not sure why you are adding those to the table.

The comparison I made is all about runtime behavior re: speed/memory usage here.

And, what I am saying is that despite Go being static and compiled and touted as "very fast", it's slower in a lot of respects to EVEN plain old Python, not to mention Java, which runs circles around it.

I'm not saying one would/should use Python and Go for the same tasks (though many people do, seeings as Go feels a little like a dynamic scripting language thanks to the easy syntax and the nice type system).

I'm saying "Hey, isn't the basic reason for someone to use Go over something like, say, Python, that it's supposed to be faster and with better memory handling? How does that play in practice?".
It surprises me how few companies, even in the start-up world, hire remote developers. I personally get more work done at home in a couple of hours than 8 hours at an office. Simply knowing that you might be distracted puts, at least for me, a strain on what gets accomplished.

I suspect it's neither. It's probably more that advertisers just don't care if their ads use up too much power. Probably the same reason why there are so many annoying Flash ads.

I think you were wrong.

Considering Jeff Foxworthy has sold over 15 million albums[1], recently had a primetime show in syndication, and managed to make three of his drinking buddies into 8-figure yearly draws, I would say Louis CK is not even close to the most popular working comedian around. He has a rabid base, yes, but I would argue he's not even a mainstream comic (ie I would bet 9/10 people off the street would not know who he is).

I think this bodes very well for those who can mobilize a few hundred thousand people. What I think will be even more interesting is how this will affect those that can only mobilize a few thousand.

The way over that hump is essentially to realize your implicit baseline of "not shit" is unrealistically high. An architect should strive to not produce shit, but also has to be able to emotionally deal with the unattainability of that goal. No sarcasm, I've seen people who can't deal with that. An architect must also have just enough ego to believe they stand a chance of being able to produce something less shitty than would otherwise be produced without them, while at the same time not being so egotistical that they lose touch with the users of their architecture, which is a fatal error, or even worse, become actively arrogant. (You are still producing shit, after all, and don't you ever forget it.) It's a delicate balance.

I don't like the fact that the value of the parameters associated with the Caller* attributes can be overriden by callers because they're implemented as a special case of optional parameters.

On the other hand, if the mechanism by which the Caller* attributes work is extensible, it may be interesting to use the feature to provide alternate default values for arbitrary optional params (e.g. non-const default values).

On the other other hand, maybe changing the semantics of default value assignment is a symptomatic of language bloat.
The odds of being rejected from Amazon's Kindle store are fairly slim. Your writing can be pretty bad; the important thing is that it's not someone else's material.
the ad services (Google, etc.) doesn't care about your phone's battery life as long as they can serve their ads. They don't get anything in return if they spend time and resources making their ads "more efficient". These companies don't care about the user experience or providing a better product. They're in the ads business not in the making-a-better-phone business.

as far as they're concerned your phone's battery life is a hardware/OS issue.

sad but true.
You're correct that it's not "anti-government" but pretending that it has much intellectual, political, or literary merit is "anti-critical-thinking".

If TheDailyWTF.com was instead called "Dumbass Programmers" and promised to help people "quickly spot where the trouble areas in programming are" it would be simplistic to the point of tedium. The real problems are not simply a matter of someone being a "dumbass", that analysis is just self-serving pablum.
Is it time to fold on iOS4 and go all-in on iOS5?
Yes, but "impromptu meetings" are toxic for getting things done when you're coding. An interrupt-driven culture makes it a nightmare to get into a flow state and stay there without constantly having to context-switch because some jerk has to have an answer RIGHT NOW and can't be bothered to send email.
There are still some uses of physical mail that haven't been replaced by email.

Yes, but it's clearly just a matter of time. There's no infrastructure or technology we need to wait on. There's no document transmission function that email couldn't fulfill for more than 90% of the populace, no barriers to that becoming a norm.

Cars didn't cause 100% abandonment of horses instantaneously. Before the development of the largest trucks and most capable offroad vehicles, there were certain uses only draft animals could fulfill for quite awhile. Still I think the post horse-carriage era did begin with the first commercially sold cars.

Does W3C publish a rationale for each spec? I searched the Shadow DOM spec for the word "rationale" and found nothing, the abstract didn't say why the spec is useful, and the TOC didn't seem to list a justification section.

Reading the Introduction section, I get the impression that Shadow DOM is supposed to help with creating widget-based UIs, but if we're at that point, why are we still using the text/document-focused DOM instead of creating a new abstraction that is better suited for UI (though the insertion point concept looks potentially useful)?

Yes, lots of drugs are neurotoxins. Caffeine is a neurotoxin as well, so is nicotine.

However, that doesn't mean that consuming moderate amounts of alcohol or caffeine will kill you. When people look at all-cause mortality data (here's one example picked at random from Google http://ukpmc.ac.uk/abstract/MED/8628131/reload=0;jsessionid=... , I've seen several studies that come to more or less the same conclusions), they find that moderate drinking (1-2 drinks per day for men, 1 drink per day for women), is associated with lower all-cause mortality than abstaining. And I've seen studies that show that this effect is even present if you control for factors that may be correlated with abstention, such as poverty (can't afford alcohol), or previous alcoholism that may have had health effects (some people are teetotalers because they have previously had problems with alcohol, so they may have had any ill effects outside of the study period).

Don't assume that just because something is neurotoxic in high doses means that it's bad in low doses as well. There are many things that can kill you if you take too much, but are healthy in moderation.
Does anyone have advice on how to become a better finisher?
The thing is, if we don't let companies do this "morally bad" act, then these companies and the people living in them are worse off. So while you might have a theoretical case to make about the morality, in practice, these companies are Making The World Better.

This isn't their intent, but it is the practical outcome of what they do.

P.S. You shouldn't be downvoted, your comment was good.
Fascinating, but I'm curious: does this matter? So I bought a plasma screen television (instead of an LCD) a couple of years ago because the image quality was so much better and the price premium was modest, but I've noticed that LCD seems to have won the screen wars. I assume that this happened because people preferred to pay modestly less for LCDs even if the screen quality was worse. If this is the case, why, besides geekery, would iPad screen quality matter that much?

I don't know about right now, but last I looked (~1 year ago) the 1TB 2.5" drives were not standard height. Some people were able to jam them into specific laptop models that had enough room (or flex), but that was it.

Another way to look at it is to see how many bare drives are being sold at those specs (1TB 2.5") vs. external drives. The bare drives won't sell as well if they are a non-standard height (at least I assume they wouldn't).

I agree. It’s fun for someone like me who likes learning new stuff for its own sake, but I think the “Rest of Us” might feel a bit left out without more practical examples. But hey, that’s the same mistake I made when I last wrote about concatenative programming. Hindsight’s 20/20.
I skimmed the blog and the stories and I came to the conclusion that DAG's intent is not to foster critical thinking about the social, political, cognitive, and philosophical issues in governance but rather to reinforce the reader's cynical views about government as being run by "dumbasses" instead of being "of the people".
We have an indirect, semi-optional, largely accidental dependency on eventlet/gevent which won't work in PyPy, but it's easy to just rip out if we go to production with PyPy. We should rip it out anyway, but there's no reason to spend the two hours on it right now.
Can anyone confirm the format? I'd like to toss him $5, but only if I can play it on my iPad.
While I think this is a great idea (and similar to things I've been slowly working on in spare time), I don't think that the execution really does "Fair" or "Fact based" justice.

The facts that are presented are pretty minimal - while I may agree with some of the conclusions that seem to be pushed by it, it doesn't feel like a general-use tool in order to provide better information. It feels like a presentation with specific goals.

EDIT:
I think a better way of phrasing what bothers me about this is:
It focuses on making the presentation of the data compelling. That's a good thing - if the presentation is compelling, people are likely to engage and learn. However, here that seems to have been accomplished in an "editorial" way - by hand-selecting things. Compelling presentation of data will be meaningful and honest when it can happen with minimal editorial influence. This is (or at least appears to be) completely hand-selected.

This is why I said we first need to conquer the moon. Send robotic building machines to the Moon, let them build habitable structures there first.

Then send these to Mars, have them remotely operated and autonomous and build a habitable setup there first without humans.

Then ship fuel pods to orbit mars which would allow you to go there with an empty lander - fill it up in orbit then land.

I think we need to take logical steps before we shove humans in a pringles can and launch them to mars.
