Given I don't know your nationality, it wasn't an attempt to woo you by comparing them to anyone. I'm simply saying "they feel disenfranchised, so they're acting out" is kind of stating the obvious to almost any group. One could just as easily use that line to describe almost any group fighting for anything. I chose the American Revolution after reading another comment here literally comparing them to terrorists. I initially almost went with "Nazi Germany," but saw that and decided "it can go the other way, too," with such a generalized statement.

To attempt to word it another way, I'm trying to say "so what if some/many/most of them feel that way? Apparently SOME of them care, if they chose this cause. The cause of Internet-freedom/piracy/copyright. And often, battles (literal and not,) are done at the behest not of those doing the fighting, but the decision makers who convince/force them to take up the cause." (See? That can be read as a slight to the American revolutionaries. Hardly an elitist view of them!)

Most of this is in practice amounts to the justification of bureaucrats too lazy to do a proper analysis. I work with them and this is exactly the generalized rubbish they spout--it NEVER gets deeper than this. Details are never forthcoming. Instead we have self-serving nonsense about the difficulty of maintaining databases of router configurations. It's as if remote management facilities don't exist--you tell your superiors that you're still upgrading IOS with TFTP, so you need all the routers to be the same.

You haven't mentioned the article once.

What do you think the probability of expanding a small library from four users to 50 is in this economic climate? Did you read that the stimulus was for the installation of fiber? Instead the state got routers equipped with T1 modules.
The Anonymous mentality more and more reminds me of Kira from Death Note. Backed by a sense of disillusionment with the current destructive forces in the world, they become more and more comfortable with using destruction to punish or fix those forces.

Hard to explain - however I don't mean in a Schadenfreude way...

E.g. vendor selling something for 10x what a local would pay. I don't haggle much and admire chutzpah. If someone steals my wallet because that is the only income they can get, I won't like it (but I am not about to go hungry, get rickets or fail to get healthcare).

Obviously hard to delineate what is 'bad', or what are downstream effects.

Ironically - I closed the window on this one before scrolling. It was the comments here that cued me to go back and scroll :-)

In my experience (from doing a bunch of user testing on this sort of stuff) people scroll if 1) they have a visual cue that scrolling is needed/possible; 2) people are motivated enough by their need to carry on exploring.

In my case I saw this http://cl.ly/2S1B2P3X1Z1F0x3m0t0N - with no obvious cue for scrolling... spent a couple of seconds clicking random things. Left going "meh, wonder if the comments will explain this".

The problem of people just not understanding that scrolling was something that you did (yes - they really did exist ;-) has pretty much gone - thank goodness. And "the fold" isn't a thing any more because the proliferation of devices, display sizes and reading contexts means that there are dozens of different folds.

That doesn't mean you don't need to pay attention to them any more though - which is something I'm afraid a casual reader will get from this post. As others have already pointed out the 37signals page is very definitely not giving the fold the finger. It has many calls to action - both above and below the folds.... and they've paid attention to those folds (look how the biggest paying apps basecamp & highrise are above the lowest rez fold, look how the design breaks in the middle of paragraphs/images on the most common fold lengths to make it obvious to the user that there is more context if they scroll, etc.)

Yes - the idea of jamming everything up above the fold is dumb. It's the designers job to explain that this is an over simplistic reading of a design heuristic.

The advice to "Think about the rules before obeying them!" is good though :-)
Wow.. fucking relax dude

Also, why not mine litecoins (cpu's are good at doing that, so no drivers needed and he can mine bitcoins at the same time) and sell them for bitcoins? They are worth enough that his profits would go up noticeably much.
Now THIS is a great idea.

vim lacks a lot of modern features, and the fact that it has to be compatible with running on shells means that it can't implement a lot of things which you would need to make it look and feel like a normal editor.

For example, we'd need the ability to make windows that are only part of the screen, in order to make convenient popups (for, say, ctrl-p find in files actions). We'd need the ability to have actual graphics to separate sections. We'd need the ability to have different fonts for different buffers. Etc.

What I think we need is an IDE which is just a layer on top of vim, which gives it a few things:

* a sidebar, ala NERDTree, only good-looking and consistent with how sidebars should act, e.g. doesn't move with the other window-movement commands, can't be changed to another buffer.

* Honest-to-God normal IDE Tabs, which let you have lots of open buffers, let you see them visually and switch between them normally.

* A buit-in, fast, find-in-project/find-tag/command-t like functionality, which has nice graphics to make it easy to use and is actually fast on any project.

Etc.

And all of this can be done on top of a normal vim, making it have the ability to have all of the old plugins and configurations works. Obviously a lot won't be necessary (e.g. NERDTree), but for GUI environments, this would absolutely make vim rock.

I don't think anyone, with good or bad social skills, should have to deal with this crap.

Of course not, and I didn't want to give any impression that my statement endorsed the behavior.

Rather, I think that it might be more productive to focus on encouraging people to develop greater social skills rather than framing it around male vs female issues. We tolerate too much elitism, condescension, and dismissal of others' feelings in general, which directly contributes to the sexism problem.
What is the level of the book? Is it worth getting if I'm a pretty heavy vim user already, or is it more of a beginner's guide?
As are iceburgs.
I bet at least 90% of 37signals click are "above the fold".

If I was a betting man I'd take that bet.

From looking at the stats on sites with a similar layout I'd guesstimate that only about 30/40% click above the fold - and some portion of those users will have scrolled and read the other content before doing so.

If you had worked in a big company environment, you would know that this kind of nonsense happens all the time, in both private and public environments. 30000$ routers are pocket money compared to some of the things I have seen (millions of $ spent to develop and maintain in-house software that cannot do 10 % of what a basic open source solution would do).

When you reach a certain size, and you have many competing groups, all with their agenda with the same company, it becomes difficult to allocate resources correctly, especially in a domain that is not considered "core of business" (IT being a common case, sadly).

I would definitely go with Play. It is by far the best Java framework around for getting something done quickly and skips the design pattern/XML heavy approaches used in most of the other frameworks. And coming from a Rail background its convention over configuration approach is going to be more akin to what you are used to.

The real issue is how heavy your I/O is going to be. Play2 is very new but is designed for your use case as it incorporates Akka. Play1 however is easier to use and more well understood. For me I would start with Play2/Java and then selectively incorporate Scala where you need to. That's just because I find Java dead easy to code, maintain and hire developers for.

Twitter has some great open source libraries/resources for Scala at http://twitter.github.com that can help.

When a public school/library buys a 22K router with government money, sounds like an overkill (handout) of massive proportions. Someone's cousin here was probably on the Cisco + Verizon sales team. This is frustrating.

3D physics for node.js/browser
First off, 48h is a tough call - the JVM is a huge ecosystem! You might want to moderate your expectations.

Personal suggestions would be:

- Get one of the major open source IDEs. I personally recommend Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/)

- Learn some Java first. Since it's the Ligua France on the JVM, you'll want to know it if only so you can read code. If you like your more modern languages you can always switch to Scala/Clojure later once you are familiar with the Java ecosystem.

- Play (http://www.playframework.org/) is a great framework for your web app. Give it a try.

- Netty is a great IO framework (http://netty.io/). If you really care about IO performance, you will probably want to use Netty (or something based on Netty). I've used Netty for low-latency game servers, for example.

Agreed. The Bay Area lawyer I've used for a dozen years is Adam Slote: http://slotelaw.com/

I strongly recommend that you talk to someone like him. An experienced lawyer will be able to put this in perspective for you in short order: industry norms and expectations, legal options, negotiating tactics.

This could go all sorts of ways. On one memorable occasion, this lawyer wrote a short letter and got me $20k in wages owed. On others he's advised me to just walk away.

I'd also suggest you consider cash instead of equity, especially payment for expenses. You may prefer a longer runway (or a month recovering on a Mexican beach) instead of more lottery tickets.
I have tried this approach for a while and not once did a beggar accept the proposal. A couple of times when I didn't have cash on me I got cursed at and since then I stopped giving to them. I should also mention that I'm from the Netherlands and no one here needs to be homeless, it's always because of drug addiction.
Thanks for the advice, I think you've just confirmed what I was thinking anyway. I'll probably make one last update and then leave it there.

No it's reversing the social history too. Why would the scenarios in the story have ever come up if the social history hadn't been reversed?

tl;dr whoosh
Satire, huh? So by telling a story of sexism with the genders reversed, the author is slyly poking fun at all the fuss about sexism in tech that we've been hearing lately, and showing us how ridiculous it all is. That's an interesting take, 'cause I sure didn't read it that way. To me it seems more like a straight put-yourself-in-her-shoes appeal to empathy for women who brave the tech industry.
Wow, I'd say getting kicked out early was lucky. I can't imagine anything worse than working for years with assholes like that. Plus, you learned a valuable lesson about choosing good partners.

If you're coming from a Ruby background, then JRuby might be your best bet. I'm not 100% sure where JRuby stands performance-wise these days, but - IIRC - they've been at the forefront of taking advantage of some of the new JDK7 stuff to improve performance.

Short of that, Play does have a really good reputation in the Java world, but I haven't used it personally, so I can't share any first-hand experience. Still, what I've heard has been pretty positive.
It's actually not the rendering engine but interpretation of code downloaded from the netwOrk (i.e. JavaScript) which must use Apple's interpreter. That interpreter happens to be tied into their browser, so using it for other things is impractical.
Most of this can be done with Vim already... And the stuff that can't, like graphics, popups... I don't care for. How would you control that sidebar? With the MOUSE O.o !? I like nerdtree exactly because it's a buffer, because I can navigate it like my text. The essence of my comment above is that I want this in my IDE's, not the other way around..

Also: vim has tabs (:tabnew)... And there are search plugins for vim, fuzzy finder being one.

EDIT: But I like your idea of turning Vim into a real IDE, I've been looking into this .. Vim need to "understand" the code. Better omnicomplete, refactoring ...
This smug, platitudinous self-serving drivel is all that a network executive needs to know to misspend millions of dollars. You conveniently neglect to mention remote network management facilities that will handle configuration and monitoring of the routers that could have been purchased instead of a fully loaded 3945, including the $487 CISCO router that was mentioned in the article. How do you justify this preposterous expense? "What if the state decides on an unprecedented expansion of library facilities?" In this economic climate? "What if homeland security needs emergency facilities and this is the only site available?" You didn't read the article where two identical enterprise level routers were installed in the same little neighborhood. What about the efforts to engage ham radio operators--West Virginia is full of them. So much for the big picture. You live in a world where automating the administrative aspects of networking hasn't kept up with the network devices themselves. At least that's what you tell your superiors. It's as if remote network management facilities don't exist and you're still upgrading IOS on routers state-wide by hand with TFTP. Don't tell me: you support one-size-fits all cable management for the state too.
Being pedantic, but I definitely have seen developers with zero productivity: so everyone else productive is infinitely better...

+1. Second the comment that if you only have 48 hours then I would recommend having a look at doing something with JRuby. Torquebox.org is a modified version of the JBoss Application server built for JRuby I believe.
When I heard developers complain about Android fragmentation first-hand, most of them complained about GPUs, and Animoca's home page shows games first and foremost. I wouldn't be surprised if the need for hundreds of devices differed very much across application types.
I agree with the recommendation for Play 2. It is simple framework that covers a lot of bases adequately. If you want to do the HTML/database thing Play will cover this. If you want to do the REST service thing, Play will also handle that.

If you just want to do REST services we've had a lot of success with BlueEyes (https://github.com/jdegoes/blueeyes) and the framework we've built on top of this, Bigtop (https://github.com/bigtop/bigtop). Documentation is lacking compared to Play. It's an option is you're feeling braver, want to do pure REST services, and want more performance than Play gives you.

I think only crazy people use Java. It's just not productive enough. I use Scala. The shape of the learning curve will depend on your experience with modern languages. If you've done Ruby/JS and are happy with blocks/closures and stuff like underscore.js you're halfway there. If you've ever done any Haskell/O'Caml/ML you're 90% of the way there.

Getting started on the JVM can be daunting. In the Scala world we use SBT (https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/wiki) which gets around a lot of Java/Maven nonsense, though adds some of its own. Other languages will have their own build tools.

I've had a tiny peek at VertX, and don't like it. It seems to encourage callback spaghetti and doesn't seem to make good use of the type system.

If you go any of the Scala options above feel free to drop me an email (in my profile) if you need help.
There are perfectly good industrial electrolysis cells that can split water with 85% efficiency, and that does not require platinum, only nickel (and by that I mean elemental nickel, not nickel-molybdenum-nitride). They need to be big and operate under high temperature and use sodium or potassium hydroxide in the water, so for industrial purposes only, but essentially a solved problem.

The unsolved problem is a good catalyst for the reverse process that takes place in hydrogen fuel cells. For that platinum is currently required, and no alternatives are known. I have read dozens of reports of catalysts for electrolysis, but not a single one for a replacement catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells. That would actually be a breakthrough.

Even with the latter problem solved (where I'm optimistic), the problem of storing hydrogen in an efficient way is way harder, and there I'm less optimistic. For that reason alone I'm very sceptic to how realistic a hydrogen economy is.
If I develop software for a PC I don't have 1000+ PCs with every conceivable combination of CPU, graphics card, monitor, sound card, and Windows version. That would be absurd and unworkable. And yet that's what this article would have us believe you should do when developing for Android.

I disagree.

First, you don't have to admit that you talked to a lawyer. You can just get their advice. Second, as a hiring manager, I have a lot more respect for people who are smart enough to get advice when they need it. Third, lawyers are professional negotiators, so talking to one before you negotiate something can be immensely valuable. Especially when negotiating with much more experienced people.

Coming from Ruby and Node.JS, you may want to start with the new 'Vert.x' project from VMWare:

http://vertx.io

It's very new – not sure if yu'll find much community/testimonials – but since it supports (among other languages) Ruby and JS, uses the Netty framework, and opens the world of other Java libraries to your project, it might offer you the shortest-path to watching a JVM run your ideas under load.
I'd personally be pretty happy with < 2K. The main things I use jQuery for are: 1) selecting nodes (especially children of selected nodes), 2) manipulating node attributes, 3) AJAX, 4) extend(), 5) animating CSS, 6) normalizing some events.
It seems like only yesterday that jQuery was the simple, lightweight alternative. I wonder how long it will be before things like this and Zepto add enough features to earn accusations of bloat.

The problem, as always in these discussions, is that no-one wants to define the term "functional programming". Many people will be quite willing, though, to jump on each other for saying things that they believe flow from an incorrect definition of the term.

Anyway, at the very least there's two camps. On the one side, you have the hardcore Scheme folks whose conception of functional programming is "if I can't figure out how to write it with tail recursion it must not be computable". On the other side you have the Haskell folks whose conception of functional programming is "a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?"

Somewhere in between are people who actually get things done.
