Which has been done at the expense of causing massive persistent damage in some "secondary" countries in the EU.

As a said before, there was a middle ground, but it wasn't considered. Higher rates during the last decade would have caused stagnation in Germany but would have avoided the complete demolition of some countries. Note that this demolition process was not only beneficial for Germany, but also for bank tycoons in these countries - their direction is now a bunch of billionaires despite whatever happens to their banks now. In these countries 2 full generations basically have had their lives destroyed from being out of the housing and job market chronically, and those with a job will have most of their disposable income confiscated. These are the really important figures usually not told in the BBC, Euronews or Deutsche Welle.

And the worst part of it is the "rescue" - the rescue consists in ensuring the banks in the most affected countries don't need to sell their massive housing stocks in a firesale. It basically consists in pegging housing prices in these impoverished countries so their average house costs twice the price of a house in an average German city, keeping 30+ year olds (the generation coming out of school during the euro-originated frenzy from last decade) homeless or living with their parents. The rescue basically consists in perpetuating this tragedy: a lost generation, birthrates to the ground (impossible to emancipate), people deprived of a sane life plan and forced to be enslaved for decades. Because that's what happens when you "so kindly" inject money to these over-stocked banks. They. Won't. Let. Their. Stocks (housing mostly). Lose. Value. This will only happen when you cannot continue "helping", the sooner the better. But this will ultimately happen, thankfully.

That's the rescue plan. Social collapse in several countries from the eurozone so all banks (both rescued banks and very especially lenders - in supposedly "responsible" countries) can be happy and, very importantly, German banks (and French banks, Spanish banks, British banks in the case of Ireland, ...) don't have to take responsibility for over-lending. The rescue is mainly a rescue to the banks of ALL parties disguised as a rescue to these "filthy irresponsible P.I.I.G.S."

Fucking let them bankrupt and take the hit, you have done enough damage already. Say buh-bye to all the money lent instead of pretending to be "saving Europe".

It's possible you use state machines and don't know it :) Have you ever used loop with if inside, that dispatches based on value of some variable? That's state machine implementation in structured language.

I've encountered such code many times in our codebase.

Or maybe you used some business process engine (like jbpm) - that's also state machine.

I've even made jbpm-like engine in javascript for my html5 game - I use it to write quests in my game, and I plan to refactor dialog trees to also use it.

It's graph with nodes and transitions, nodes specify actions game should do, transitions specify conditions player has to do to move to next node.

If you think the Apple dance is bad for getting an app on your own phone, try distributing for beta testing!

People have written Apps to help you work around how difficult it is (eg TestFlight), but even then your beta testers have to download & sign up for some random 3rd party app, then request your app just to be able to test it. Compare that to Android: enable 3rd party apps via the settings menu, then email them the app.
Oh you mean like San Jose? "For every 100 females there were 101.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 99.8 males."

Palo Alto? "For every 100 females there were 95.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 93.0 males."

Cupertino? "For every 100 females there were 97.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 94.6 males."

San Bruno? "For every 100 females there were 97.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.1 males."

Redwood City? "For every 100 females there were 99.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.1 males."

Menlo Park? "For every 100 females there were 93.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 91.5 males."

Millbrae? "For every 100 females there were 90.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 86.7 males."

San Carlos? "For every 100 females there were 93.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 90.7 males."

San Mateo? "For every 100 females there were 95.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 92.8 males."

Atherton? "For every 100 females there were 96.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.3 males."

Milpitas, Mountain View, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale were the ones with more males - worst ratio in Milpitas, 104.5 and 104.6 respectively. Surrounding cities would more than balance that out.

How do you keep yourself from just popping open the settings page and disabling the plugin?
A few months into my first job a department called because their PC wouldn't boot, the hard disk was dead. They took tape backups every day, so I checked the last tape but it was blank. I asked if they backed up every day and said yes, and said that for the last two weeks or so the backups had taken only a few seconds, where they used to take about an hour. They were very pleased because it was such a tedious job. They had one weeks worth of tapes and they were all blank. Turns out the tape drive had gone faulty a few weeks before the hard drive failed, just long enough to go through a full cycle of all their backup tapes.
They're generally useful when you need to process input and keep track of what to do "next".

Here's an example where the author manages comet connections using gen_fsm in Erlang:

http://www.letsyouandhimfight.com/2010/01/31/comet-in-erlang...

The FSM starts in state "waiting" (waiting for a connection/request). When a request arrives, the state is transitioned to "have_request". When/if a packet arrives when there's a request connected (packet -> have_request), the data is sent to the client (that then disconnects; the nature of this comet implementation) and the next state is set to "waiting". When a packet arrives when the current state is "waiting", it's added to a buffer and the next state is set to "have_packet". When a request is made and the state is "have_packet" - as opposed to when it was in "waiting" - the packet is immediately sent to the client, and the next state is set to "waiting". There are many other states and "events" in the code, but I think this illustrates how easy FSMs make it to reason about these kind of implementations (protocols).
That's some pretty Python code...
I'm not so sure about that (the async-is-hard part.) If one is making a decision of architecture change due in part to CRUD capacities within a framework, I'd guess the asynchronous programming model in Node.js is a little more than just incidental complexity.

CRUD operations within R/R might be just a few lines of code, but it's not that much more to accomplish the same with Node, Express/Railway, and any one of a bunch of template schemes.

The change certainly sounds appropriate for the team, but the basis of CRUD as a reason to change an entire architecture leads me to question how the team approached their solution with Node.
Anything that implements a series of transactions that change internal variables of some structure is an ideal candidate for a state machine.

OLTP software, network stacks, computer games, object based simulations and so on are all good examples of things that you could probably implement a lot easier using state machines than you could ever implement them using some other coding technique (likely you'd be re-implementing state machines anyway, just not by name and in a warped form).

Statemachines get rid of the endless series of flags and ugly error handling that would otherwise govern a re-start of a chunk of code at a later date without assigning a thread to each datum that passes through the system.
The font-family for the monospaced text is "monospace, serif". Any decent Linux system and/or browser would define "monospace" appropriately. Sounds like the problem's on your end.
Maemo (as used on the Nokia N900) :

Enter 'python helloworld.py' and press enter

Of course, as Maemo is based on Debian, you can easily install Ruby, PHP or even a C compiler.
I have always assumed they don't put the time/engineering into the mobile apps because it is much harder to monetize. Where do you stick the ads so that they don't completely ruin the experience? Nowhere, that's where. Why provide an app that draws people away from your web app (the one covered in ads) when you can frustrate them and keep them where you can monetize?
Thinking that filtering hostname by regular expression "larslofgren\.com" would protect the account is a very common newbie mistake. It would still allow requests from e.g. larslofgren.com.example.com. The correct regular expression to match the domain would be "^(www\.)?larslofgren\.com$". To match other subdomains, "^(\w+\.)*larslofgren\.com$" can be used. Or, you can use other filters with options that require "exact match" or "ends with". (Sorry if those terms are not correct or accurate, I'm not using Google Analytics in English.)
Great idea. Would like to have it precompiled, I don't have Python.
Heh.

Where I first hit this is in Oracle. Which unexpectedly locked up at a million dynamic pages/hour served out of the database, over lock contention. Ever hit a lock contention issue?

That is the scaling problem that gives no warning. It is humming along fine with reasonable load, and suddenly is falling over. Sure, you can identify the problem query if you have good monitoring, but you can't just kill one instance because there are another 100 coming along in the next second...

Having dived into the guts of those failures, and having talked with expert DBAs for multiple databases, that failure mode is endemic to databases and nobody has figured out how to catch it with monitoring. (At least that was the state of the art not many years ago.)

Yes, there are ways to tune it and to scale it out horizontally. However you never know if you will need to.

If you've got a reporting database, as opposed to a transactional one, scaling is much more straightforward to predict and handle. From your reference to a single problem query, I strongly suspect that that is what you dealt with.
If you live in a commuter suburb of Tokyo and ride the train at rush hour, yes you will not be happy. But why commute? I live 8 minutes' walk from Shibuya station and during the day perhaps 1 or two people walk by every few minutes. At night even fewer. Cars drive so slowly on my side-street that you cannot hear them at all.

As for taking two hours to "actual green stuff" man are you ever exaggerating. Even without LEAVING the city I know of 3 different nature preserves that range from 20 to 30 minutes away DOOR TO DOOR. If you hop on a train for 30 minutes, you hit Tamagawa, a breathtaking open expanse of river and low brush. Want forest? How about Takao-san, a breathtaking natural space with tons of hiking trails and a mountain you can climb easily in an afternoon. 44 minutes west of Shinjuku.

If you hate crowds, just avoid them. "Living in Tokyo is not fun" says more about your unhappiness with the rhythm of life you have created for yourself than it says about the city.
Excellent point re: reacting proactive-ly. At some point you've taken so many action items on-board, uplifted so much capability and re-purposed to much content that all the corporate buzz-words just start making perfect sense.

I don't see why a transition effect helps at all. Just switch directly to the next version, I say.

If you are doing a transition, what would be cool would be if it could actually somehow detect individual text moves and deletes and insertions and animate those. Otherwise I don't see a transition as helping.

Well I have lived in different parts of Japan and I find Tokyo the least inspiring place to be in this country. There's no great landmarks (except if you consider a 600m concrete/steel tower a valuable landmark...), no cool historical places, and this is not a place where I can relax, ever. Even when you reach home you have to live in the smallest apartment ever because it's what's available and affordable there. I agree Tokyo has some interesting aspects (how some quarters differ from one another), but there are too many drawbacks for me to qualify this as "inspiring". I guess it depends on your personality in the end, and what you can relate too. I need to be in a place when I can breathe, and Tokyo feels suffocating in many ways.
From the perspective of a person hiring, I'm sure it's better to hire for exactly as long as you need. The point of 20 minute chunks is to make the idea more appealing to experts (who are busy doing other things). As an expert, you know that if you accept a job, you only need to commit up to 20 minutes, and you'll get paid for a full 20 minutes (even if they're not all used), to justify the 'switching cost'.
I'm wholly relieved that someone else thinks this way too ( still aware of the fact that most thoughts aren't unique). I never came to the conclusion of metamorphosis, however.

Just felt a need to express my experience of camaraderie on the subject.
> Some problems are just hard, and you'll want as much code as is necessary to make it secure and performant.

Wtf? Since when did bloat make code "secure and perfomant" ? And it hurts you if you ever want to touch or look at that code again.
People hire college graduates because they have demonstrated that they can be given a list of work, and a criteria for how their work will be judged, and complete the work. That's it.

I have a question about this observation. How is this different from someone with years of work experience, who demonstrated in practice that he or she was able to finish large software projects on time, on specification and on budget as a lead developer?

I'm asking this because I dropped out of college because of money constraints. I had a three hour commute each day, had a job next to my studies, and slowly but surely piled up debt in order to cover my basic expenses (food, rent, insurance, books). I had zero support from my family or the government.

I make the same observations as you, it seems to me that many doors will remain closed to me. Not all, mind you, over time you get to know people and build a network of sorts.
Major weaknesses in it I've found:

- The compare script is fragile. Often times it doesn't want to compare two tests I did with the same exact config, just flipping code I'm testing against.

- It doesn't have a good mechanism for storing auxiliary information. We end up faking errors for it but it just looks ugly and hard to distinguish a correct run from a bad one.
State machines just seem natural to me. I actually sketched out a state machine before I even knew what a state machine was. The other concept I really like is lookup tables. Reminds me of truth tables. Are state machines really just a form of lookup table? I guess it's just how my mind works because these tables seem natural to me.

This is great thread. I have only used lex/flex to make my state machines. I'd like to try something new eventually.

Tokyo is very much not my cup of tea, but for people who enjoy city life because it is city life and not because of non-city things they can find in the city, Tokyo can be a very nice place to be. Is it crazily overcrowded? Yes. Is it overly expensive? Yes. Is it possible to experience alienation from humanity to a level almost incomprehensible anywhere else in the world while simultaneously having no elbow room? Yes.

You can also live in a shoebox apartment in a walkable neighborhood with forty-seven little restaurants at which the owner will remember your face after your third visit, well-maintained parks and orderly, efficient public services, connected via the world's hands-down-best mass transit system to a) a commercial center which has just about anything anyone could possibly want to buy (and that is not always a compliment) and b) a stupidly convenient rail network which will whisk you to anywhere on Honshu, including the parts of Japan that I rather enjoy, in less time than it takes many Americans to get to work in the morning.

If New York has any appeal to you, Tokyo will probably be your kind of town. If it doesn't, Tokyo will probably not be.

>Some years from now we may well be in a bubble and (...) the previous 1000 days of being wrong will be summarily ignored.

I might be misreading you, but it seems you don't think a bubble can last for 1000 days. It did in the 90's. I think your kind of attitude leads people who cry 'Bubble!' to say, after 1000 days, 'Um, I guess I was wrong. Damn, being wrong just cost me a 10x return on my investments I wasn't making. I better start investing before I lose even more!'

I literally remember reading a comment from someone in the late 90's 'Not buying a house 3 years ago has cost me 400,000.'

Well, in retrospect, no it didn't, it was just a bubble.

The protection against a bubble isn't waiting until it's a long, well-established bubble: the protection against a bubble is having lots of sales and lots of cash stored away. If you're punished too much after a bubble-pop in your valuation (get priced at a tiny price per earnings) great: you can now buy back your shares and mint money by selling them again when your price to earnings is something reasonable.

on the other hand, if you don't have sales, your price to earnings is infinite. Then it's not the bubble you should be worried about, it's getting customers.
