> Higher frame rates would help a lot with the blur. I think Peter Jackson made a mistake shooting The Hobbit at 48 FPS for the entire movie. He should have shot most of it at the traditional 24 FPS but used 48 or 72 for fast motion shots. Hopefully his blunder won't poison high FPS forever in the minds of filmgoers.

You can't shoot parts of a film at 24FPS, and parts at 48FPS - the 48FPS parts would be transformed down to 24FPS and would appear to be in "slow motion".

Jackson, for what it's worth, is sticking to his guns re: 48FPS and believes that part of the dislike is because it's "change".

Woah that guy replied to one of my tweets a few weeks ago and I had no idea who he was. Apparently that was a pretty awesome tweet reply, was wondering why my followers went up.
I know he can. but, I feel that it's not easy. I myself find it extremely difficult. One does not simply give up coding.

I think there must be many others here who must have faced difficulty in making a transition from developer to manager.

"Manually handling headers"? That is how people wrote websites in the early 2000s. Many cgi scripts were cobbled together in Perl. I found that I liked Python better.

I understand that in PHP you just add some <?php ...> stuff to an otherwise normal HTML file, but the situation in Python, with its multiline strings that support variable interpolation, isn't much worse. Just add the lines I mentioned to the top (treat is as a recipe if you like), and the rest is better than PHP.
Undermine kids education while taking their money and cheating their peers. Nice.
I agree, though I think the problem is that this community had decided this site was supposed to be above all the noise. Clearly not the case; that's fine, the guys that run in work hard and don't have any kind of bad intentions. I'm just curious where I can read some news where i don't feel like i'm living in the ghetto and gotta make sure my wallet's not being taken advantage of, or living in the hamptons and make sure my intelligence isn't being taken advantage of.

To be perfectly fair, at this point reddit is kinder to my intelligence than this place. Atleast reddit trashes hyperbole with full malice and no class. This place seems to humor it too often.
In the book "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman, it is claimed that there is a growing body of evidence that we really have two brain systems. A fast one, which uses heuristics to quickly approximate the answer, and a slow one, capable of deliberate and rational thought. He argues that the fast brain system is really responsible for a lot of our cognitive biases.

For example, our fast brain does not really understand probability. It only knows three categories: either something is impossible, it is possible, or it is a certainty. A lot of human behaviour with regards to probability can be explained by this simple assumption.

Why do people buy lottery tickets? For their intuition, it moves an impossibility into a possibility. The fast brain system that fuels their intuition does not care what the actual probability is and does not understand anyway.
I was more or less the same as you, Java instead of C#. Built some of the apps on http://www.codercowboy.com in a few weeks with help from this book, very highly recommended:

I've actually considered this myself; invest $2k in it and get a large number of PIDs for my own purposes, and sell them off to others to recoup (some of) the costs. However, I think they've changed the rules on this for new licensees, right?

Which company does this? I may end up getting some from them.

Edit: Yep, they did indeed change it. Relevant text from the VID acquisition form:

Each Vendor ID Number is assigned to one company for its sole and exclusive use, along with associated Product ID Numbers. They may not be sold, transferred, or used by others, directly or indirectly, except in special circumstances and then only upon prior written approval by USB-IF.

That navigation system shown in the video is just atrocious. It took a full 20 seconds just to render the map interface, and (as far as I can hear) gave no confirmation that it'd actually heard his over-annunciated (and practically yelled) query.

My 4 year old iPhone 3G is a better navigator than this. What's the deal with built-in car navigation systems?
I dislike that analogy. A "special grip" is analogous to a secret handshake or code, whereas fingerprints and retinal patterns are intrinsic and immutable body characteristics.

In fact, wouldn't an actual fingerprint scanner be more effective for this purpose? Having used biometric readers, I frankly would not trust my life to one. Nonetheless, it [fingerprint reader] would be infinitely preferable to any technique that required fine motor control in high adrenaline situations.

By following this principle you're moving presentation rules to the HTML. Taken to it's extreme this would mean

.red { color:red; }

These techniques became relevant because they make your CSS leaner, speed up development and result in more maintainable code. But compression + high bandwidth along with systems like LESS/SASS make this effort moot: you can have the same benefits while still keeping most of presentation separate from content.
Phone sex is about the same as telemarketng-- more ethical, even. Don't degrade the people who do it by insinuating that it is bad work.
Why is it atrocious? Care to explain?
Want to change the color? Edit the HTML (and CSS). Change the radius? Edit CSS. Remove the radius? HTML. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Well, they are probabilistic machines then! ;-)
Actually, Zuck made a statement exactly like that last fall. He basically described his model of running a company as just another engineering problem, comparing delegating tasks to writing subroutines.
> their chances of getting hit by lightning while simultaneously getting hit by a bus while crossing the street are still better than winning the lottery

While I agree with you in philosophy, I wonder if that is the best example. I don't think I've ever seen a news report of someone getting hit by lightning and a bus at the same time, but people do seem to win the lottery on a fairly regular basis. This suggests that winning the lottery may be the more likely of the two.
Quora has some nice stuff, but it's less of a site that deals with news. I also have no doubt that the quality of the site would go down if their traffic exploded by an order of magnitude... which is clearly the case at HN in the last few years.

No one's to blame of course, content quality (where quality is a measure of honest reporting) and market forces seem to work in opposing directions.

Choosing A Truck Wash Location In Nevada, Case Study
This is just a subjective feeling, but back in the 90ies, everyone seems to have been producing code with only one goal in mind: have the compiled output work well enough so it can be shipped.

There was next to no automated testing, there was some theoretical best practice, but at least in the windows world nobody cared. Heck, back in the days there weren't even multiple accounts on a machine, nor were there file system permissions for example.

Of course, those old days are long gone by now, but software surviving from back then (like Flash Player) still has this legacy.

As an aside: when it initially came out, Flash Player was called ShockWave Flash (.swf - ring a bell?). Flash was this lighter, simpler (and cheaper) version of the Shockwave authoring system.

At some point it superseded it in features though.

Some of this old Software can be rewritten, but most of it is still being depended on by independent third parties which require the mess to be bug for bug compatible.

Combine that with binary file formats, the need for backwards compatibility, the need for newer software to read older file formats and in the case of Flash, the need for newer plugins to execute old, buggy bytecode because so many compiled swf files are out there of which the source (also in binary .fla form btw.) is long lost.

It's so easy to look at Flash player today and laugh at Adobe, but remember: this piece of Software comes from a different age where nobody but the Unix guys knew better (and they knew better than to touch Windows).

It's a good thing that it's slowly dying I guess.

By the way: I'm as guilty as anybody else.

Thankfully though, the age of dial-up is over so nobody is going to use that Windows dialer I wrote back in those days (despite its bugs, it was deemed good enough to win awards even in dead-tree publications).

Where this does bite me personally though is in the Windows frontend of our product. I've written that abomination right after finishing high-school back in 2001.

Unfortunately it is still in wide use and I have to maintain it which is ever so painful.

In theory it really needs a rewrite, but by this time all new users are - of course - using the web frontend, so only people who don't care at all about technology are still using the windows clients (still 25% Windows 98 of all things)

So rewriting the client and then pushing an auto update would be incredibly painful for them unless it's pixel-by-pixel identical.

And to make this rewrite run on Windows 98. I don't even want to think about this.
China invented an amazing number of things before anyone else - and then promptly forgot each one.

To put it in modern terms, China of old had amazing engineering skills but terrible execution.
Yeah, that's pretty fair. It's little more than protection against automated scripts which scrape the net looking for easy ways in (as is my comment spam protection).

There's not a huge amount to be gained by building a super sophisticated anti-spam or anti-brute-force system until it's likely that someone will actually write an attack specifically for this software, and seeing as I built it mostly for my own use, anyone who did that is probably just trying to do damage to me (for whatever reason).

Adobe Flash, formerly Macromedia Flash, formerly a vector-based font-authoring tool rejigged into an animation system called FutureSplash.

It's no wonder the thing is so jammed full of fossilized code. Legacy platform support. Legacy plugin support. The whole thing is a museum of bad ideas and shoddy implementations done by people who no longer work for companies that don't even exist.

It was wildly successful, beating out even its brother Director slash ShockWave, which is an admirable achievement, yet did not come without a cost. Like Windows its success has saddled it with an enormous base of users and developers to keep content.
Super interesting! Thanks for posting this link.
Rails itself is not that difficult to debug after it has been refactored to less magic with 3.X. What's difficult to debug is all the plugins written in brittle-dsl-with-lots-of-magic style
Sorry, the "bloat" and the "single file" were different goals. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. That being said, the fact that it was in a single file meant that I was more concious of the size, and contributed to me cutting out my own bloat/planned and unnecessary features.

This isn't meant to be the pinnacle of design here; just a fun exercise which incidentally made my life easier to manage (I'm sick of using Drupal for blogs, and getting constant spam posts and user notifications from wordpress. I also don't use most of the features from either of them, so this has provided me with just the features I want).
It's really a matter of preference.

Unfortunately "friends" have become synonymous with "one-time acquaintances".

I won't add someone as a friend unless I have known them for at least 3 months.

I also don't feel bad if someone unfriends me, because that means they weren't my friend. I don't need some artificial number to feel good about myself.

A few real good friends > several hundred people posting on facebook about some stupid "let's get wasted" party or posting new "cellphone" self-portraits.

Quality over Quantity IMO.
I always find it funny how people tell how to code great (like now, in CSS), and yet their website is totally messed up on my phone--the logo floating somewhere in the middle of the text and scrolling while I scroll. So much for good code.

I highly doubt that, given the choice between a sandwich and a lottery ticket, a starving person would choose the ticket. Death from starvation in societies where lotteries exist for the masses is quite low. For example in France where I live, people don't need food to survive. There are enough government subventions for food banks and NGOs to help.

A big bag of money buys your more trouble than food, it buys you restlessness and an insecure future. A regular income from a stable job, for instance, provides food as well, without buying you the trouble of having to secure the money you've got by chance.

And no, that's not presumptuous. We know of plenty of people who were happy with little, nowhere needing the cash that big lotteries pretend you can have.
You absolutely can shoot parts of a film in 24 FPS and parts at 48 FPS. Instead of transforming the 48 FPS parts to 24 FPS, you do the other way around and transform the 24 FPS parts to 48 FPS, not by doubling the speed but by repeating each frame twice. In fact, film projectors have always displayed movies at 48 FPS with frame doubling to reduce the appearance of flicker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate#Background

This is probably true, rails is more 'community-developed' then the aforementioned plugins. I'd say the average developer is more inclined to open and debug these plugins than rails itself. Which is what the grandparent comment is referring to (plugins and apps used interchangeably).

If you're already a junior, I suggest you stick it out (I'm glad you do say you intend to continue).

It will pay off in the long term if you know how computers work down to the transistor level. For example, in addition to "normal" websites, you'd be able to build a website like this:

I'd at least take the sleep() out. That way, you get rid of the super easy DoS vector. If someone were to deploy this on their shared webhosting, they'd find themselves with a very upset host.

You're using the very fast md5/sha1 (why both?) functions for password hashing. PHP has bcrypt support; why not use it instead? That a) accomplishes the goal of making brute-force untenable, and b) further protects your users' passwords in case you ever accidentally introduce a SQL injection (which, if you continue to work on this project, you probably eventually will; no personal offense - that's a big part of why more comprehensive frameworks that try to abstract away from raw SQL exist. Human make mistakes, especially in 6000-line superfiles ;)

Edit: Also, your password updates (and other POST-ish operations, except commenting) don't have any kind of CSRF protection, so I could reset your password if I can get you to interact with a page where I've set up some "proof of concept" of something you might find interesting, with a form to post to yoursite.com/?p=savesettings&password=0wned, at which point I just log in and take admin control of the site. Since you don't ask for a username on login, such an attack would be extremely trivial.

(As another commenter mentioned, it's easy to discover that much of the 'bloat' is actually stuff you want!)
I'm surprised he doesn't mention CurveCP. He's taken ideas from that author before (e.g. netstrings, which you'll find in the .torrent file format).

TCP does suck. If you try to use it for lots of short lived connections. And that pretty much sums up how it's being used nowadays, most the time.

For single, long term connections, TCP is fine.

Very long product cycles is one thing.

My 2006 Audi, and up to 2008 Audi A4 models, has a nav system (RNS-E) which was essentially unchanged since introduction in MY 2002 (so, developed around 1999-2000). Hence, 4GB SD card (no SDHC) limitation, DVD based, slow, etc.

It's better than any smartphone or pda developed in 1999, as a navigation device, at least.

Electronics should rev a whole lot faster than the rest of the car -- there are plenty of cars from the 1990s which are relatively modern in drivetrain technology, and certainly cars from ~2000 (Honda S2000, for instance).

This works very well for me. Sometimes, just moving away from my main work area to another room works wonders for productivity.
