It was my pull request. It was spurred by a compatibility break that took all of two seconds to fix in our app, but the principle of the matter is what irked me.

And it wasn't from passing it to JavaScript, it was from parameterization from Ruby to Ruby.

I didn't really care that much about it getting merged in, so long as the docs changed (fxn's argument about using a fixed-width font in html docs to indicate the singleton true vs a truthy value is something that really ought to change). That stance is unfriendly to developers and follows what seems to be the Principle of Most Surprise.

At the end of the day, it's not worth all the trouble for something so trivial. I'd rather rails-core deal with more important issues. And that's the last time I ever send a pull request on principle to a project I don't own.

What am I getting at? We need to shrink our energy usage. Efficiency gains are linear, energy use grows exponentially.

So what do we do? Try old-fashioned solutions like a healthy dose of localism and urban/geographical planning so that we exponentially decrease our energy requirements.

Manhattan is the greenest city in America, in the sense of spending the least energy per citizen.

"called me/my opinion "stupid" and "wrong" based on that"

Lets be clear. I never made any personal comments, and you didn't really offer an idea except to say that your goal is to "balance negatives and positives" I said any attempts to censor comments to meet your ideal comment is stupid and wrong, and whether or not censorship is what you want, I don't see why someone would disagree with this. If you start removing comments that one person doesn't like, then a forum becomes a simple pr blog.

"despite of low quality content you produce..."
"i'd just like this system to put some measures so you express them respectfully..."

in the interests of moving on, i won't comment on these.
Yeah, I was wondering how they would have let something like this slip through. I figure either a) they weren't aware of the exploit (unlikely, but possible...Draw Something, while fun, is not a very polished game), or b) they know of the exploit, but fixing it is a non-trivial. I suspect b) because the game does not appear to store any state between the time you start guessing the other player's drawing, and the time you complete you drawing (so it just starts over if the round is interrupted, as if nothing ever happened). So, in order to remember the list of words that was previously presented to you, the game would have to 1) maintain state that indicates which "phase" of each round you are in for a given game, and 2) maintain the original list of words presented to you after you get to the "choose a word to draw" phase. I suspect they just decided that fixing the exploit isn't worth it, because a lot of iOS users don't even know that they can force quit the app, and a lot of the ones who do probably still wouldn't be bothered to actually do it. Also, having to go through the process of watching/skipping the other player draw his picture again can be tedious.

So you're saying that we have the ability to make sure that a pixel on the sensor is collecting light from the exact same spot in the sky for an extended amount of time? Taking into account (among other things) the rotation of the earth, the shaking of the ground, the wind, the changes in the atmosphere's temperature and humidity and god knows what else?

Dwarf Fortress is probably one of the most complex games ever made. Simple graphics, yes, but that's the only thing.
It's really sad to see. I don't understand it myself but it seems American politics has devolved into "you're either with me or against me" rather than people working together to come up with a reasonable solution for all.

This is probably my bias showing, but it seems stupidity is prevailing and perhaps that's because those with stupid ideas shout the loudest.
Well... there is a "best of both worlds" approach that I'm considering, and might be right for you:

Hire someone to do it for you, but on the condition that you can watch over their shoulder and ask questions as they go.

That way, you can get it done and get it launched, while at the same time you get to watch an expert, learn enough to maintain and improve this project - and learn how to do it yourself next time.

I did this for my first Android app - https://github.com/50pop/NowNowNow

I started slogging through some Android books and realized it'd take me forever. So I learned just enough to understand the context, then hired a guy that let me watch. I learned more by watching and talking with him than if I would have just continued slogging through the books. And it got done in 2 days!
I think it depends. If the original author (or most recent modifier) is available then "I don't get this code" means I should be scheduling some time to talk to them.

If the original author is completely unavailable and I am the new maintainer, then "I don't get this code" might be a valid reason to rewrite it. Even if I can't improve it, by the end of it I will know what those pitfalls are and understand that code.

There's a lot to be said for getting to the cancer before it takes off. Silver bullets are easy to dismiss, but what we're really talking about is stopping a simple process with a simple process. It would be hard to stop a missile once it's off the ground, but from the silo it's a matter of turning off a few switches - or rather, not allowing them to be turned on.

I don't claim to know medicine, but I am familiar with simple measures equating to great results when acting on initial factors. An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure in this case.

"Firstly and most importantly, the stock market is not zero-sum."

It is, unless you have another definition of zero-sum. The talk about companies "growing in value" ignores the fact that the "value" is purely what the market will pay for those companies. If the market is a closed system, i.e. companies are not being listed or delisted, then the net profit made by buyers & sellers if all transactions were to be closed out is zero, by simple summation. (Actually, it's negative, because of significant transaction fees.)

"If your friend sells you a stake in his company, you have an ad-hoc stock market (a buyer and a seller for company equity). Is one of you destined to lose in this deal? Or can the company do well and you both succeed?"

If the company does well and you sell the stake to a third person (C), then you've profited and C is left holding the bag. Every single trade that is closed out results in either a profit or loss to its participant, and it's only the fact that the more money is put into the stock market over time that obscures the fact that, if all extant trades were to be closed out at one point in time (i.e. everyone cashed out), the net profit of everyone involved would be zero.

The market keeps growing because new money and participants are flowing in, but if this stops (say, due to foreign investors wanting to put their money elsewhere, or a shrinking investor population, or a recession), then all you have is a moribund market into which existing investors dare not put more money. The average profit for trades goes to zero because the average stock price is not moving up or down.

This is practically illustrated whenever a bubble bursts and money leaves the market: many participants start taking the losses that had been hidden by the previously rallying prices. The winners are the ones who got out first and took profits from those inflated prices.

I argued this point with two friends of mine, one who was an investment advisor, and another who was an oil trader. The advisor said that it wasn't zero sum and the market was always expanding, but after a bit of discussion and graph-sketching, he came to see that it was zero-sum after all. The oil trader (a pretty savvy chap) said, "Yeah, that's obvious. That's the game I play every day."

(I think this can be extended further to encompass the various financial markets as alternative sectors of a giant investment market offering various classes of product. In the end, each market is zero-sum, and so the overall investment market is zero-sum, which is obscured by the increase in production as technology advances. But this part is more speculative so I won't push it.)

I'm a bit occupied atm so I'll reply to the rest of your message if there's still interest later.
The problem I have with this is that Burning Man and the festivals are general-audience events. I'm okay with not getting tickets for Coachella because there are only so many of them and everyone wants to go. Such is life. I'm not okay with attending a low-quality I/O because bad people were able to purchase tickets.

My proposed fix was make people code something simple in JS and then run an automated it before allowing registration. That way, dumb people try to register, and by the time they can Google a solution to FizzBuzz and copy-paste it, all the developers have already registered.
Highlighted some text in the middle of the paragraph. Attempted to change formatting to "H2". The entire paragraph became "H2", and in the text below the "##" ended up on the line above the paragraph, which I don't think is valid Markdown. To be fair, this is an edge-case. Maybe don't show header formatting as an option in the middle of a block of text?

Other suggestions:

- Tooltips! I didn't know what the bullet list button was until I pressed it.

- Selecting text in the middle of a paragraph and choosing a header type or pre or blockquote affects the whole paragraph. This isn't immediately intuitive. I don't have a good solution to this, but it's something to consider.

- Once I select text in the middle of a paragraph and mark it as pre there doesn't seem to be a way to back out this change, selecting blockquote just embeds a blockquote in the pre block. Note, this may have happened because I selected different blocks of text within the paragraph for each change, but since it affects the entire paragraph it makes sense for this to not matter.

[update] The <= and => icons are not intuitive as undo/redo. I thought that they were for indentation before I hit them. Also note that I backed out all of my changes, yet still ended up with a <pre> surrounding the text at the bottom, even though it clearly wasn't there in the WYSIWYG at the top. Adding <pre> to the paragraph again didn't cause a double-<pre> down below though.

I wasn't saying "stop being stressed and burned-out".

I mean that any time any of us get to that point, there are a few approaches we could take.

(1) - Go take a long vacation.

(2) - Quit and change your approach.

(3) - Don't change a thing. Sleep tonight, but tomorrow just keep pushing the same direction as you've been doing. It'll be painful, you'll scream and complain, but just keep working anyway.

I've tried all three. When I do (1) or (2), it throws me so far off course that I never come back.

But powering through it is also the advice that ultra-marathon runners advise. They say you feel the pain, but just ignore it and go anyway. You don't take a break. You just keep running.

When I've taken this approach to the work I'm doing, I tend to find joy and an easier road ahead, past the painful burnt-out feeling I felt the day/week before. I'm glad I didn't take a vacation or change course.

> This is the main reason my large employer didn't even bother to seriously look at what their products had to offer. Both 10gen (Mongodb) and one of the companies offering Cassandra support contracts were a lot more reasonable.

When we contacted both 10gen and Basho a few months ago, Basho's support rates were cheaper than 10gen. We didn't look at Datastax at the time, so I can't comment on that comparison.

To be honest, that was really annoying.

I've become a minimalist in regards to personal property, and the last thing I need is another gadget -- I'm already busily cutting down on what I own, to the point where my fiancee is getting a little annoyed.

It's just more cognitive load to manage that much stuff.

I am not sure how you can get better at something which is most likely genetic.

I work full time and have a not terrible commute, and if I want to eat healthy and get a bit of exercise and spend just a tiny amount of time with friends and family... well, it's hard to get the hours of sleep I genetically need to function 100%.

Now, I can go for a very long time sleeping no more than 6 hours a night, but I can feel it slowly killing me.

Thanks for the link. It wasn't clear to me, however, who was doing the bikeshedding.

If you read the original source for the term at http://bikeshed.com/, Kamp shows his respect for the submitter of the change:

I bow my head in respect to the original proposer because
he stuck to his guns through this carpet blanking from
the peanut gallery, and the change is in our tree today.
I would have turned my back and walked away after less
than a handful of messages in that thread.

This is how I feel about the pull request: a seemingly innocuous change that looks, to this outsider anyway, well worth making. It seemed to have been declined over a concern that people would come to expect Rails to formalize undocumented behavior that others had relied on. I've been consuming Rails docs for years (thank you to the contributors), and that doesn't seem that crazy to me.

Now for the small message that's really big. This is the post that could but probably won't change your life: "There’s no speed limit. (The lessons that changed my life)": http://sivers.org/kimo . I say "could," because most of you probably won't click the link; of those of you who do, most of you won't read the whole thing; of those of you who do, most of you won't get it; of those of you who do, most of you won't implement it. On the off chance that one out of 50 of you let this change your life, however, I'm sending it. The writer of "There's no speed limit" also wrote a book called Anything You Want, and reading it is probably one of the best ways you can spend an hour.

These kinds of things should be patented and protected by patent pools, not controlled by a big organisation. What a shame.

Also if you're working in a place handling credit cards, couldn't you fake the SIMs and replace the SIM in the card - stealing the original - before handing it back to the customer? The customer would think the card is just broken, not stolen, giving the thief a few days of free use.
