Er, the poster who replied to you (wpietri) is a different account from the one you replied to (unalone).

Also, now you're engaging in vacuous sophistry - you've made an assertion of wrongdoing without backing it up, and yet neither of them could reply here to defend themselves without seeming to dig deeper into the hole you insist they're in, because "oh look more 'rational' arguments".
Im pretty certain that the 'final' level that he talks about doesn't make use of timeouts, but stream monitors that raise temp fault, perm failure and okay flags.

I just wanted to point out that being anti-feminist does not necessarily mean anti woman or anti womans rights.

I do agree that sexist jokes are a bad thing and not only when done against woman.
Don't they have to patent this now that the US patent system is first-to-file? Otherwise, others would be free to patent it and start charging Twitter royalties.
While it is easy to point at things that are apparent hypocrisies, and blast them as such, it may be that there are other factors at play then the dimension that has the conflict. Perhaps when a for-profit company takes the work of another for-profit company, it is wrong, because there is harm. Perhaps when someone touts how awesome his ideas are, for the sake of publicity, with vague claims of "if you're lucky I'll let you near the brilliance some day" it is a different scenario. If the goal is publicity and auto-horn-sounding, then people copying is furthering the goal of publicity - and as such, it becomes hard to see where damage is done, other than to perhaps an ego (damage here being "maybe my idea isn't so brilliant, it it's a day before people can do it themselves, oh it hurts not being a genius").

Or perhaps you are also suggesting that those who point at things like the "one-click" and other trivial software patents are also hypocrites? Maybe the degree of copying is different in the cases (I actually am unsure here)?

Anyway, point being, there are many dimensions to analyze in human behavior, and conflict in one, does not necessarily amount to bullying or hypocrisy.
I'm going to come at this from another perspective. Some years ago, a friend lost a significant portion of their health to a couple of unfortunate injuries. Doctors have not been able to fix these problems and have actually on more than one occasion made them worse.

As this person describes, before this occurred, life had it's ups and downs. But even with the serious downs, it was typically about a three day cycle before they started to "bounce back". Even when the underlying issue was not resolved, the current day and current experiences started to once again predominate, and things started to come "into perspective".

Currently, they experience some level of discomfort almost constantly, and the infrequent "good periods" are quite unpredictable. The result is that they often simple can't concentrate on things in a sustained fashion, and so they also can't enter the state of "flow" that used to make them so productive.

My point: GUARD YOUR HEALTH. And pay attention to your health. If you are struggling, stop and ask yourself: How am I doing, physically?

I've become convinced that a significant portion of the U.S.'s "mental health" issues actually have their origin in physical health, or lack thereof.

--

One of my issues with health care in the U.S. is that, when the doctor makes a mistake, you "pay twice" to -- hopefully -- have it fixed. If you don't want to do that, and/or they don't fix things, you face a very expensive and uncertain process. In this person's case, all they really wanted was to "feel better". One would think that addressing this, medically, would be the simplest solution, But... the U.S. health care system has a way of entirely reversing priorities.

Insurance helps ameliorate this somewhat (a cap on your own, immediate out-of-pocket expenses). If you don't have insurance (perhaps, ever more so these days, through no fault of your own), or they deny your claim, you're fully screwed.

We used it to write our own simple distributed computing software after realizing hadoop was too complicated (and thus bug prone) for our embarrassingly parallel needs.

It took us less time to get the system written, stable and up and running then it had to get hadoop setup (different developers so not a fair comparison but still).

It feels like python with the good parts of C on linux (most things are file like object) and I plan on using it more and more as the ecosystem of available libraries matures.

I rather hope the bill stands or falls as a whole. The individual mandate is one of the lynchpins of the bill. Without it, the bans on annual limits and discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions that are coming in 2014 will probably force premiums to increase considerably. Admittedly there's plenty of good stuff in the act beside all that, but I fear it's still better to lose everything in the bill than it is to lose the individual mandate but not the things that need the individual mandate to be feasible.
You really think the "you did it wrong" response has something to do with gender? It's a standard response to pretty much anybody doing anything notable. There's always somebody on the internet that thinks he (or she, in most cases one has no idea) could do better and must express this fact publicly. Most of the comments threads have a grain of that, and some are made of it 100%. I know there are gender stereotypes and other issues, but this is not an instance of that, it's a common thing.

For a while (a few decades back), ads for airlines were really sexist and promoted their stewardesses as sex objects. So replacing "stewardess" with "flight attendant" is for airlines to distance themselves from an actual, offensive practice.

Each side was 7 (I think) hollow 300sq ft concrete rooms, circular. We had forced air circulation, and AC in the "datacenter" tower (which was 2 rooms of datacenter, some power conditioning, and a NOC); just forced air in the residential one (and some heating using electrical heaters).

During the war, those towers were where people lived, and the lowest levels were shell magazines for the big AA guns (3.9"?). They had a bigger superstructure, too. I absolutely would not have wanted to have been there with 300 people; even with 6-10 it was pretty bad.

It seems to me that the discovery phase is something that you can do as a side project while retaining a part-time job or contracting/freelancing gig. While it is often difficult to keep several balls in the air like that, it is a pretty good test of your own character/ability to be involved in a start-up anyway. The goal in the discovery phase should be "I'm too small to fail."
Sure, I was just trying to prove a point - more process doesn't necessarily mean worse software.
I thought about this for a minute, then I thought "who cares". If I go to someone's web site and they set my amazon recommendations to buy their merchandise that they are setting, couldn't they have just showed me the same thing on their site with a link to Amazon? Couldn't they just as easily redirected my browser to the amazon page or tried opening up a popup to go to their produce there? amazon's recommendations are based on what you viewed or searched for last. How often do you go to amazon to find something to buy? I go there to find something I already know that I want - and I then search for it.

Seeing their recommendations for some merchandise that I also saw on a different website earlier does not affect me in any way, in fact I don't even look at the recommendations. I type in what I am looking for and hit enter (boom, old recommendations are gone).

I disagree. Flask's thread locals have never been a problem for me and it's not like you can escape them, most frameworks use them in some form implicitly, for example both Django and Pyramid. The circular dependency in Flask hasn't been a problem either, once I wrapped my head around how to do it properly. Lack of standards I would say is still a bit of a problem, but Blueprints helped. I wouldn't say Django has this one quite figured out either though, and in general I usually have to do some heavy customization when using 3rd party Django apps with their own views and urls.

I dislike people using the child-support laws as an example of a law that is completely biased against men. One which is completely absurd, insane and over-the-top favoring women over men is in the rights a man has around the establishment of paternity.

Take the following situation: Married woman gets pregnant. Lists arbitrary non-husband X as the parent. At this point, neither male has any ability to compel a paternity test. The law recognizes the arbitrary person listed on the birth certificate as the father (however, at this point he does not have to pay child support). The only way a paternity test can be compelled is if the male is 'accused' of being the father AND the mother attempts to collect child support. In the given scenario, the husband cannot ever know if the child is his unless it is found to be someone elses (he knows it is not) or he gets a divorce and his previous wife requests child support for the child.

This has nothing to do with the welfare of the child. The woman could even list unknown as the father of the child and then immediately give the child up for adoption, preventing the male from ever being able to be involved in the decision and is permanently removed from the life of the child.

Hey, good to see you finally got around to this :)
Men are as likely to be raped, but their (prison) rapes are considered funny in our society, whereas female rapes are considered a grave crime. Men are generally considered more disposable in dangerous situations ("let the women and children go"). Stereotypes and gender roles regarding men are much more rigid, and challenging them has much less cultural buy-in than challenging gender roles with women. Men are much more likely to be assaulted. I told my very feminist sister a story about a guy who punched the guy his girlfriend was cheating on him with. At first she misheard me and thought he punched the girl, which was considered horrible. When I clarified that it was the guy, she immediately made a comment that it was less serious. She has internalized the sexism that it's much less serious to assault a male.

I could go on and on, but you're so brainwashed by the feminist agenda that you have internalized it and don't even see the blatant sexism in our society. It's so ironic that so many feminists/liberals are so guilty of what they accuse others of - being unaware of their own prejudices.
I agree that markup/stylesheets is what most strongly needs to be improved. I've only just started experimenting with it, but Biber, positioned as a BibTeX replacement, does really seem to be an improvement for the citation piece of the puzzle; its stylesheets look like something a mortal might be able to edit. It can also be used to generate HTML output, which has long been pretty crufty with BibTeX (I already have paper lists in BibTeX, so I should be able to generate things like my web page's publication list, and be able to customize the generated HTML, maybe even have some sorting/grouping options, all of which Biber can do).

If I had to predict, I would guess that something like HTML+CSS, or possibly a Markdown-ish input language with some kind of CSS-ish stylesheet, will eventually overtake TeX in significant areas, once the PDF renderers get good enough. Maybe someone will even find a way to pipe it into TeX as a renderer, as you suggest. A plus of that workflow is that it also makes it easy to produce good-looking HTML versions of articles, which is getting more important. And the "math in HTML" question is (finally) converging on a constellation of acceptable solutions. Advanced typography in HTML is slowly creeping forward as well.

To me, agile is essentially common sense. sprints, story cards,scrums are not nonsense, but discipline. I don't care what these are called, but they have served as a good set of tools to bring in discipline to the team. It helps a lot, when your team is not full of self-driven, talented developers. While that may point to an issue in hiring, we all know how difficult it is to hire and retail such people.
Isn't it ironic that by simply capitalizing the word 'agile' you can change its meaning to describe something that's the very antithesis of agility?

If a methodology is so brittle that any diversion from the straight and narrow (a) means you're no longer using that methodology and (b) ostensibly (or actually) invites disaster, then that is a very, very rigid methodology.

MIS for Cattle & Buffalo | Milk Production
The problem with Agile development is the same problem that has affected many modern revolutions: The revolution against the current ruling class gets co-opted by the current ruling class[1]. The revolution then ends up changing nothing more meaningful than the colors on the flag.

Agile was supposed to help developers escape the obstacles of poor management and poor managers. It's really about developers owning the development of the software, and being given more creative authority. Non-developers play a support role, if they're present at all. That part is all fine and dandy, and it's The Good Part® of agile. Let the guys who make software be responsible for making software. Brilliant!

Managers, of course, don't want to get marginalized. If they see a movement towards Agile, they would rather bring it in themselves, so that they can control how it's implemented. And they implement it in a way that a) fits their existing biases about software development b) doesn't marginalize themselves[2]. Both of those goals are met by taking the agile process, and turning into The Agile Process (engraved on stone tablets, up on a pedestal).

Agile should be less process, but when the transition is implemented by process guys, it just ends up being different process rather than less. And naturally, the one role in agile that ex-managers can step into (aforementioned support role) is more important in this set-up, because it's about owning and managing the process. So the revolution happens, and nothing changes. Instead of developers having more freedom, the old managers just have a new title. That title still comes with the authority to make developers fall in line, except that "in line" now refers to a different set-in-stone collection of steps and rules.

tl;dr Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[1] I'd rather not derail this thread into history and politics so I'm avoiding details.

[2] b) is actually a subset of a). One of management's existing biases is that management and process is an important part of software development.

This isn't a knock of managers; everyone thinks the same about themselves. Hell, Agile itself basically originates from developers having the same bias. They just happen to be more correct ;).
Which brings up another quirk of humanity, which is we tend to hate the ethnic group that is the most similar to our own. Simply, you hate your neighbor, you don't hate someone on the other side of the world you've never interacted with.

There certainly are many instances of people hating ethnicities very disimilar form them, but that happens after people from different parts of the world migrate close to each other.

I use one called Blogofile[1], but it is entirely local. You basically give it the posts as markdown/restructured text and it generates the entire site as static HTML. I'm sure you could use it as a starting point to start the service you just mentioned, instead of having it read the posts from disk have it read them from a database.

The thing I like about static generators is that I don't have to worry about a programming language being present on my hosting site (http://funcptr.net is blogofile, http://bertjwregeer.com/ is Poole.py[2]) and the overhead is a lot smaller, since all I have is static files there is a lot less worry about accidentally causing CPU spikes, or a database being overloaded, and using sendfile() one can very quickly and efficiently serve up HTML files to clients.
