I'd love to wear lightweight cotton dress shirts. Unfortunately, trying to get a pair of 36G breasts into a shirt cut for my size is an exercise in futility. The results border on pornographic - gaping buttons, bulges etc. I have a few choices:

a) buy a shirt 3 sizes bigger and look like a clown

b) spend a fortune on clothing designed specifically for the 'well endowed' woman OR

c) wear something I own that makes me comfortable - which may or may not be low cut but is bugger all to do with anyone else (and really, most of the time is not designed to be low cut but ends up being so because the material shifts)

Do any of these situations warrant me being commented on, criticised or jeered at? Should I suffer these comments for something that isn't my fault?

(And don't even get me started on how being a breastfeeding mum impacts on both the choices above AND the range and depth of comments I receive.)

I'm glad that you've never felt degraded or discriminated against for being female. That doesn't mean it should be ignored when it does happen. That doesn't mean it is somehow this woman's fault and that she needs to "lighten up".

I rather take my work seriously, constructively criticize bullshit company police, and make less money if that's what it takes. At least I won't regret being myself.

Actually, on x86 at least, I'm not sure there'd be much difference even from a naive compiler - the modern version would compile to a LEA instruction followed by a MOV, whereas the old version would be an INC instruction followed by the MOV. From memory, both the INC and LEA instructions execute in one clock tick.

Did you just discover the internet today? The list is endless. They hired people when they were small at lower wages with stock options. Then when they made it big they took those options away! The scumbag CEO claimed he was right because if he didn't do this a cook might become rich, as if a cook has no right to get FU money for taking a risk. Every game they have is a rip off of other people's. The CEO has said in interviews that he's done ever evil thing there is to do to gain success.

If you don't think Zynga is a despicable company than I can't imagine you believe this is such a thing.
How do I let people know about my little startup?
I do agree it's very hard still and that many of the 'it's just an API' posts are wishful thinking for the next year or two.

However twitter is a perfect example of how not to do it, they inadvertently shot themselves in the foot with the hashbangs so they never know in the first request what's being asked for. That's kind of a mix between HTML5 history being so slow to come out and Google encouraging the # stuff in the first place. But everyone's still learning. Full page postback-less js applications are still a pretty new field.

Twitter were a very early trail blazer. As much as people hate it, kudos to them for having the balls to try it and let us all learn from their mistakes. I've got a project that's a horrible mix between postback and postbackless stuff. It's almost dailyWTF worthy, but I don't regret doing it as it's getting closer to getting it done right. And there are people using it right now and it works as much as I cringe about it.

For example if you look at the 1.5Mb js file they send when I do an anonymous request, it's got every possible action I could ever do regardless of whether you're on a tweet page, the main page, a profile page, etc. It doesn't matter if I'm signed in or not. They're all in there as templates. And then for some reason they wack in a load of compressed jQuery stuff, etc. It has how to sign up, how to add people to follow, congratulation screen for when your first few follows, etc.

That, to me, is just nuts. Why is there no split in the js dependant on the kind of user they're going to be? On reflection they probably think that too.

With regards to development environments, I do think you should force your programmers to understand your infrastructure. Give new programmers a couple of simple examples to play with on how to manage dependencies and loading files and that's that. In my view it's no different to saying 'we use these parts of C++, not these' or 'this is our coding style, you must follow it or your checkins will be rejected'. Or 'this is how the industry this app is for works, these are the general business rules most of them have, this is the general workflow'.

New programmers to your organisation always have to pick up some contextual information over time. It's your job to train them in the most relevant key information asap. I think far too often it's just a case of 'you're a programmer you're smart, let's just throw you in at the deep end and see if you can swim. Oh, why did you swim into the shark pen? Silly n00b.'.

>They then use tricks and more tricks to hide the reality(GM or Enron) so the party continues one more day.

You cherry pick two large companies, only one of which can actually be considered a failure (if you think GM has been a failure, I don't know what to tell you). You don't think fraud goes on on a massive scale at the small business level? And what about the other 498 companies in the fortune 500?
> Companies are still locked into some solutions like OWA and sharepoint because of which users still use IE at work.

My hunch is that a lot of companies are locked into legacy internal web applications that were optimized for IE6 and look like crap in a modern browser.
Yes, I'm implying that. I have personally done it for smaller apps. Google and others are demonstrating it with gmail et al, at a significantly higher complexity than twitter.

It's nonsensical to conclude "Twitter can't do it so it isn't possible".

I maintain twitter.com is slow because twitter is incompetent or doesn't care about their product.

When you look at what the page actually does then there's no reason why it has to be a 2MB download. There's also no reason why any javascript (other than a couple hundred bytes) needs to be loaded synchronously. There's no reason they can't serve direct tweet links as static HTML and upgrade the page post-load or when the user starts interacting with it. There's no reason the page needs to flicker for 2-3 seconds post-load before becoming usable.

These are all symptoms of sloppy engineering.

One of the best feature of CS5 is the content aware fill, I very rarely use Photoshop these days, but that feature made it so so so easy to clean up some images that needed some stuff removed from them without having to resort to a very manual and error prone (for me) task. Totally agree of the bloatware, luckily I now have a really beefy machine!
Given that the wi-fi range would be a lot less than an airborne solution I wonder if it wouldn't be easier for the police to pinpoint their location. It would also limit the practicality as you'd need a lot more of them to get the same coverage.

yeah I'm really starting to realise that I'm using the wrong tool for the job. I only use it for web design, so from my pov all the photo features are bloat.
It's not that videos scare people away, but they need to be augmented. Would Dropbox convert better if they had descriptive text on their home page, or at least made the features link more visible than the one in the footer? We'll never know unless Dropbox tests it and publishes the results.

When I think of software sold to businesses, I'm reminded of the place I used to work where the president had the IT department disable the speakers on all new PC's. He didn't want employees sitting around watching videos or listening to music on company time. It may be hard to fathom for some people, but there are offices where playing videos (even demos) is frowned upon - especially in a cube farm.

If you want to make conversions, think of all the barriers between you and the sale, and start knocking them down one by one. Making your products key features readable and crawl-able for search engines is an easy one.
Excellent, I really happy to know that ! I'll test right now as I both used node.js and Sid :)
>I have exact same problem with how I perceive woman and man having multiple sexual partners. "Good key opens many locks, but good lock is opened by only one key" and all that bullshit - I know that it's ridiculous to hold woman and men to different standard in this regard

Without endorsing any specific views on female vs male promiscuity, I don't see what's so bad about seeing a distinction between them. The fact is, men and women are different from each other, and male and female promiscuity are different phenomena.
wanted to watch the video, but being in UK i am not allowed due to some copyright issues. too bad :(
that's probably really cool on a fast computer.
I don't see why not - seems much better designed than some "enterprise" systems I've had to deal with…
True. I imagine modern compilers optimize this sort of stuff very quickly. Back in the time that code was written it was better to just optimize directly in the code and not wonder if the compiler would do it for you.

I'm not advocating the code, more I wonder about how much the general population of developers has lost connection with the underlying performance of things. The systems we work with today are so powerful that they forgive errors that just could not be ignored on older systems.

I recently re-wrote a streaming MapReduce job from Perl to C code and improved it literally 10x in speed. I resisted doing it because most of my team doesn't understand C well enough to slice and dice a bunch of pointers and buffers etc. I wanted maintainable code that the rest of my team could maintain. But in the end I needed performance so short of writing it in assembly C was the next best thing.

So in the debate microkernel vs monolithic the correct answer was - hybrid.

In the debate CISC vs RISC the correct answer was both, in different niches (x86 and ARM), and both groups included many features of the other (I've heard ARM isn't really RISC nowadays).

In the debate free vs commercial the answer is also both.

Seems like "truth is always in the middle" is a good heuristic.

What amazes me is how Microsoft consistently explains design with obviously aliased images using nasty, bandy palettes.

I hope the explanation is that their web publishing framework just sucks and has no oversight, because it would be troubling if the designers/bloggers missed this.
Sorry, but this is not the level where whole case should be solved. The court is by definition a place where both sides speak, and e-court is a place where only one side speaks, and she doesn't even has to prove she's right.
When you phrase it that way, of course it sounds useless.

Have you ever gone out to a bar and bought a round of drinks for your friends? Yes, that's like $90 a round for 10 people in a New York bar. But I bet you got a drink back from every one of those people some day (and if you didn't, they're not great friends or you make a lot more money than them).

It's kind of the same principle here. It doesn't have to be a steak dinner for 20 people - I know I can't afford that. But if you go out for wings and beer, buy around of beers. If you don't want to do that, go to the local bakery and bring in two dozen bagels and cream cheese. The point isn't how much you spend to be impress everyone, the point is to do something other than just show up and mooch.
In the biomimicry department, I'd look to the birds. Imagine an ornithopter mimic that seeks out power lines, clamps onto them, and powers itself via inductive pickups in its feet. Its battery gives it a 10-minute flying range; this gets recharged first. Then it goes into broadcast mode.

Sure, its signals could be triangulated, but if the mimicry is clever enough then it might be difficult to distinguish from a real bird. And it could be equipped with various means of monitoring its environment (such as an RF receiver which monitors the strength of nearby police-frequency broadcasts), which would allow it to rapidly bug out at the first sign of trouble. It takes to the air, circles for a few minutes, then finds another power line and starts over again.
Pretty exciting stuff here. There's nothing worse than trying to debug when a call is made to a minified version of a plugin and your console is puking up a wrapped one-liner chock full of single char variable names (or worse, evals).
So this article is a little ill informed. If the pirate bay is working on what other people are working on It won't be a little quadrocopter.

NPR recently did a story on what the future of commercial drones are shaping up to be [1]. The deal is they are working on drones with huge wingspans that require very little propulsion to stay airborne and can carry both solar panels to collect energy and batteries to store that energy. The planed flight time for one of these aircraft would be on the order of years. As of today they have successfully tested drones of this kind that can stay aloft for weeks. If thats the kind of technology the LOSS will leverage then it will fit the role nicely.

The primary differences are choice of colorscheme and the fact that the OSM examples are targetted at screen DPI and the paper map was probably intended to be wall mounted.

That's not a limitation of OSM, you can target different resolutions and print to large paper too, it's just not as common. Here's an example:

The issue is odd. The original context is that the app was delayed significantly. This was largely due to their API not being ready or functional, or in some cases fit for purpose (Facebook login was somehow supposed to work via Basic Auth on all http requests to their servers - security nightmare).

I was originally promised that 2 weeks after accepting the contract all the resources I needed to build the app would be ready (graphics, API, etc). This never happened, it was dragged out for a couple of months before I started to see the resources I needed to build the app. However in that time I built several prototypes using different mobile platforms, implemented what I could given the resources available to me, and generally prepared the framework for the app - all the stuff a good developer should be doing while waiting for graphics and APIs.

3 months in they decided to pull out, no warning, no complaints about issues. All they told me was that the app wasn't 'fit for purpose' and that it wasn't high enough quality and that the look and feel was wrong. The look and feel was designed by them! They also claimed that I had delayed the project and failed to deliver on time which is total nonsense of course.

I believe there was a lot of excuses from their team, the company is very loosely coupled, with just a director, a developer who has stake in the company but is not full time committed to it, and a graphic designer on contract. I strongly believe the coder claimed his API was complete (I was told that it was complete by their director - but know that the API was incapable of handling login, search, messaging, various other essential features of the app). I think their director chose to believe his coder over me and so all the blame for the delayed app was suddenly placed upon me.

Being blamed for my own mistakes I can understand and will happily accept. Being blamed for other peoples incompetence isn't acceptable!
