I was under the impression that settling after the judgment makes sense when the plaintiff knows for a fact that the defendant cannot possibly pay off his debt in his lifetime. I could be wrong, but I believe this is done because a) they want to extract the biggest amount possible in the shortest amount of time and b) because it sets a precedent for future cases

I think it's fair to say that one reason guitar is so popular is because of the early reward effect. For this sort of price a beginner can go buy a pretty decent electric guitar and amplifier with some built in effects. Give them an hour or two and they'll be belting out a recognizable Teen Spirit in a few hours. Seriously.

Awesome, I'm looking at getting a car and a resource like this would help a lot.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback! :) Haha, I love your idea, that's awesome - I'll do that. :) Thanks!
You can't follow 3 step-by-step instructions, insult me by implying I'm flaming and then drudge up completely unrelated tools in a discussion about ssh-keygen?

What do you people want? Seriously? Yes, I'd love to have a big red easy button. It could autoconfigure MySQL, and write init scripts, configure deploy environments because apache conf files are too complicated to learn. Hell, it could even write my backend code and then commit it for me too!

I'm done with this ludicrous conversation. I've never seen such an ignorant-excusing entitled discussion in a "technical" community before. Downvote me because you can't follow steps or can't be bothered to learn how to use one of your most important development tools, I've lost interest.
Is anyone else unimpressed by what is new given the amount of time they've taken between releases 1 and 2? Coda 1 came out over 5 years ago, and few, if any, of the highlighted new features are new to the world of development, just new to Coda.

I will say I like the embedded editors for colors in CSS, but that was the biggest improvement I think I see.
Hm, when I clicked on the Coda tour button, it sped through the video at 2x speed. That's odd.

I feel a bit sorry for Panic. Their designs, imo, have been mimicked so much across the internet that their site now looks old and cliche. It's not their fault and it looks very nice, but because so many sites use it I just can't stand it now.
That's a good question, and in fact it's precisely the reason why downloading is explicitly legal here in Switzerland.
Because you did not engage at all with the facts of this specific complaint. You still have not done so.

It's not clear what a long career in broadcasting has to do with any of this. You're talking about credibility. Credibility has it's place, but it's a heuristic for evaluating claims in the absence of facts. When the facts are available it counts for nothing.

If you want to know whether it's raining outside, don't ask Morley Safer--look out the window.
Ya, I'll add that to our list of feature requests. Would definitely like to put some more features in, to help people with blog posts or other research in the car space.

Ah yes, I would seem that green cars are going out of fashion, dunno who would want a purple car =P
Oh yeah, I watched it without the sound and didnt notice until I put on my headphones. This seems like a dreamweaver replacement. Looks great, but not for my workflow. I'll stick with textmate 1 for now. I love Coda's work though, it all seems very polished and it tends to be a source of inspiration for a lot of developers, myself included.
I didn't find anything about 'App Sandbox' in the app features/descriptions... Is it fully sandboxed? Because, you know, Apple will enforce sandbox effective June 1st! It means that Apple will pull Coda 2 in about 7 days after its lunch.

I wouldn't buy Coda 2 from the App Store before June 1st if I were you.

This is one of those things that I'm happy to give people their privacy on.

Last year I went through this with a parent, and there were so many times it was easier just to say, "my mom's not well." I understand why people would want to know with what, but it's not like the questions end there. I just didn't need to have another conversation about what glioblastoma multiform is, or how one gets it, or all the things I knew about median survival times, treatment options, probable symptoms that go with fatal brain tumors, et cetera, ad nauseam.

If he wants to say, he'll say. Otherwise, I think we should honor his request for privacy. Dying is not an easy thing.

You completely missed the point of my comment. I am completely noncommittal on this specific allegation, and my comment remains a generality. You clearly read it and assumed I implied the author is wrong or that I disagree with the allegations, which I most certainly did not.

I reacted to the presence of words like slander, which is an entirely different ballgame from accusing Morley Safer of skewing the truth. Slander is a big, legally-actionable word, and you don't bang that drum unless you're ready to march behind it. My point about siding with Safer is that due to his credibility, I'm prejudiced to his side even before being told of this issue.

Nowhere in my comment did I address this specific issue.

You can't fix it that way, they'll just link to the app on the store and ask you to review it. And there's no way Apple will block opening App Store links.
Interesting thought experiment. Say I open the company books, maybe with some simple replacement -- "dev1" instead of "jane doe" and so on, as well as "vendorN", "customerN", ", etc., and maybe some sanitizing of the notes about the expenditures, (e.g. 10 servers instead of "inventory spec: 10 servers, cpu:x, mem:y").

What does that get me?

* Vendors can come to me and say "look you spend this much, we can cut that by 20%"

* customers relying on me can see I won't be going out of business soon (hopefully), and put more faith and $ into my product

* customers curious about why it costs so much to do $foo, can see the expenses.

* forces you to not over-aggrandize yourself

* others? (please chime in)

How does it hurt me?

* employee poaching becomes easier

* customers can start using this to lower thier costs and eat away at your margin

* a bad week/month can scare away customers

* vendors may try to collude and gouge you

* misunderstandings from the peanut gallery may get you a bad rep

So the single best feature I see from doing it, compared to the risks, is vendor competition becomes easier.

A question since I don't know - is there a small business/startup oriented RFP site/service that gets you the same sort of competition amongst vendors?
Interesting rant. So the author seems to completely "miss" the point of television and web based "news."

Priority #1: Get ratings, everything else is subservient to this.
Priority #2: Make your advertisers happy.
Priority #3: Inform the public.

Really, they are in that order. So if you're not working on #1 you're working on #2 and if you aren't working on that only then are you working on #3. Generally organizations stay away from making up news from whole cloth (as wonderfully lampooned in Dave Barry's "Big Trouble") but they 'film' to get stuff for someone's eyes to look at during the story, not necessarily to report on what is being filmed. Then they tell their story and some film editor goes and cuts in bits of video that 'look like' what the story is saying at the moment.

So the fact that they filmed a talk you gave can have nothing at all to do with the story they are writing. So complaining that they used footage of you doing one thing, while they talked about something else, well that is their right, you signed the release. Now if you had added a codicil which said "My only use my image when reporting on this talk about this topic." That would have prevented them from using your likeness in the story.

True story, had a friend at a sports bar when a film crew came in to pick up background video. After the fact they passed around releases for folks to sign, and my friend, being precise, added a clause like the above to his release. The station used the film on a story about sports and drinking and his face was a big blur :-) It was kind of hilarious but they take those things seriously.

Given what looks like a resonant cavity, and the 'short' battery life of the guitar body, I'm guessing they have an audio amplifier built into the guitar and they pick up the signal from the docking connector.
Facebook has pretty accurate data on 1 billion people. They have not even scratched the surface of how they can monetize it. Think about the equivalent of Google Adsense, syndicated across the entire world wide web, but targetable by detailed and fairly accurate demographic and psychographic profiles. Now layer in the social elements to help marketeres "earn" impressions.

There is a fairly strong chance they will own an enormous % of market share of ALL online and mobile display advertising in the near future.
Ember is significantly more powerful (IMHO) especially in the areas of UI bindings and views.

No, you're incorrect.

UX (User Experience) is about designing exactly that - an experience. It's about being extremely detail oriented, mathematical inclination (sifting through metrics, a/b testing data, CTR, bounce rates, etc.), willingness to sit down and focus on one concrete task at a time, sifting through hours of user video seeing how people interact with an application and then finding solutions to make the UX more smooth. Sound familiar to what you wrote about your "programmer"?

Not so different after all it seems.

EDIT: Everyone seems to confuse UI design with UX design. They are very different, and in some cases are different job descriptions.
Instead of building for the existing community, they are trying to expand the toolset to "seduce" other communities. Both are perfectly worthy goals. Just different.

Great post in so many ways.

Beyond other deaf people, migrant knowledge workers will know best about what he is talking about when describing social relationships at work.
I guess he means you can only sell so much smoke before people get smart.

I'm bullish on the internet as a medium, and teaching people how to use it, not Facebook or other "companies" selling smoke.

If Facebook ceased to exist tomorrow, I could still keep in touch with all my Facebook friends. That's because I have their email addresses. And there are now easy ways to move big files outside of email. We can use VOIP. We can stream big data to each other with today's bandwidth. It's all possible because of the advance of technology. (Not because of Facebook.)

When people know how to use the internet properly to do the things they do using Facebook (share photos, etc.), peer to peer, then we can get on with solving "real problems".

Apple and Facebook and others are not educating the population how to use computers and the internet. As far as I'm concerned they are not solving a problem. They are perpetuating it for their own benefit. Keep users dumb, track everything they do, feed them ads and try to sell them stuff. We have internet savvy kids whose only thought is "What's the business model?" Maybe there is none. Why should Wikipedia exist? What purpose does it serve?

We do not have to keep users dumb and feed them ads to move forward. Hardware is cheap, software is free, connectivity is cheap, bandwidth is cheap. Let's use the internet to help solve real problems, not pretend that keeping users dumb and showing them ads is getting us there.
Audi R8 review
Good point. If I need the efficiency of a keyboard I will use the git bash cli. I suppose this is why they've bundled powershell git extensions.

It's a first iteration / release. I'm sure with more feedback they'll release more often. I'm unlikely to use this much - because I favour the cli - but I really hope this makes git more accesible to some Windows shops.
I'm deaf too, however I don't have a cochlear implant and like you I learned how to read lips and body-language when I was a child. I agree with you too, much easier to control (hehe) or engage in the conversation rather than be the fly on the wall.

What really gets me though, is when you see those micro expressions flash over peoples faces and then you start to doubt what you perhaps misheard or what you should've said. This is the most annoying of all problems I've ever had to deal with, as I am constantly second guessing myself, which isn't pretty.

Another thing to all deaf people out there who rely on lip-reading -- how do you go for concentration and memory when it comes to having a decent conversation? If I concentrate really hard, I'll find that I can understand what's going on, and converse back. However, if I do too much of it, my brain starts to wander because it simply starts getting too tired to concentrate at such a high level for long which ends up making me feel stupid and I either only remember the start of what they said, or the end.

For hearing people, it goes like this:

>Person says something

>You then have to playback what you've just heard, seen what words they could have said with their lips, the context and the way their body language is.

>Your brain then does some computations and tries to figure out what's being said

>Your brain then tells you to say XYZ

This goes for every word they say. So if you're not concentrating at 120% you'll miss some words. Context is important, because I LOVE YOU can also look like COLORFUL if you're trying to lip read someone -- but you won't fool any professional lip reader like us ;-)

Yes, I agree with you, and we did that for 5 years. That's why he wants to learn how to build "real robots" now. His words, not mine. Basically he wants to learn how to make the cardboard and duct tape follow his commands. He's fascinated by the Mars Rover (and space in general) and wants to know how it all works.

I'm trying to teach him as gently as possible while still keeping the interest up. We'll probably build some cool things together that are over his head just for the wow factor, but I want to give him things he can accomplish too while we explore the fundamentals of math, physics, electricity, tools, and machines.
for < US $250, you can buy playable solid body electrics from Yamaha, Ibanez, Peavey or Axl, new. For $100 you'll find something that's tolerably playable on Craigslist in most large markets.

There aren't other "real" instruments that can be mass produced like this in a few factories in China and Indonesia.
I'm not sure where you got that I was a "UI guy", with that said you sound terribly defensive about your work and your abilities. It is almost as if you are insulted because you believe what you work on requires an advanced intellect. That's something you'll need to get over eventually.

But what about the downside? Can you migrate the suspended coroutine to another process

No, Lua coroutines only provide language or syntax level concurrency. They make routines more stateful, which can be a benefit if you want to refer to the same local variables and scope in between yields, but do have the downside of incentivizing routines to be larger in size (although you rely on fewer of them).

Also, the use case for coroutines is really limited to expressing lists of serially occurring tasks. This can work well for request-response style applications. But if for instance, you need to be able to read from, write to, and wait for timeouts on the same socket simultaneously (say a chat room), it would be a bit silly to spawn 3 coroutines per client (or 1 with heavily branching code), and use unnecessary overhead than simply binding and dispatching function calls for events without using a coroutine.

Regarding dispatching function calls for events, this can also be done in a variety of ways without creating a soup of nested lambdas. For instance, local functions or object methods. This also avoids the instantiation of additional function values (lambdas) for each client, which doesn't really slow things down in Lua but uses up more memory.
Ever played an early PC game where the programmer also created the graphics? That analogy has stuck with me my entire life.

I think in the educational system, as children and young adults we are taught that we must excel at as much as we possibly can. When, the reality is, doing really well in one area means your skills in another will weaken -- especially when you are trying to do them at the same time.

None of the answers were about the questions I had about how to program when you're blind. While the tools they use are interesting. I'm more concerned with how you would browse the code.

Say you wanted to find a method, how do you scroll in a large file to locate it? I guess deft use of find & go to definition helps out here.

How do you locate a line of code in a large function? Do you have to listen for the screen reader to read the contents of an entire screen's worth of code? Or do you rely on previous knowledge of the code and remember where it was?

How do you deal with debugging / fixing errors. I imagine the screen reader trying to parse the output of a template error being a nightmare.

Those people where artists once too, and would love that other people would hear their songs and make variations on it.
