Having been through multiple pregnancies with my wife, I can tell you that a pregnant woman's decision-making capabilities take a back seat during the first trimester - any board that does not move to limit a CEO's power during the first trimester of pregnancy is doing a dis-service to the shareholders. I can see lawsuits on this in the future.

I thought it would be interesting to note that my karma score seems to be going up and down a lot on this topic in short periods of time. On other topics, it seems to increase slowly. I'm trying to think of what deeper conclusions could be drawn from this that people have what appear to be strong and varying opinions on something that should be rather scientific and objective.
Hi Michael, nice to talk to the engineer of the product.
I purchased this book last week and it's pretty good.
The reading experience is smooth.

What I would like to suggest is making it more like Google web app for reading. It's fast and scrolls horizontally, much naturally like a book.

Agree with the comment on Android. And yes: nothing wrong with touching your laptop (NSFW?). BUT: do you touch your laptop RIGHT now? How many Windows users will touch their laptop in the next 2-3 years? How successful was Windows Tablet Edition? Or those HP iMac-clones with touch screens? :)
DVI can carry both analog (VGA-compatible) and digital (HDMI-compatible) signals on the same cable. HDMI is digital-only, and VGA is analog-only.
This, along with HP's memristor technology, are both potential disruptions in the non-volatile space. Phase-Change Memory (PCM) is faster than flash but both it and flash have issues with minimum feature size since they depend on very specific physics to work (heat in the PCM case, electrons in Flash's case).

A VC asked me if I saw these things disrupting the disk industry, and frankly I don't. At NetApp they used a term 'near line' to describe their SATA based filers. The concept was that these things were dense enough and cheap enough that you could put data that normally would be 'offline' on tape, online on disks, except with performance limitations (hence nearline rather than online).

I see these as nearline memory, dense and non-volatile so you don't have to re-initialize after a power failure, you put data in this stuff that would otherwise be in memory.

If we could get Intel to support a damn IO MMU such that the 64 bit PCIe space could bad added into the page tables like RAM is, we could actually make good progress in systems design. (insert rant about using a disk API to talk to memory chips here ...)
My wife and I had our first child at the end of April, and the first few weeks of her life we had absolutely 0 time outside of caring for her and basic care/hygiene for ourselves. Absolutely nothing can prepare you for taking care of a newborn. It's not like taking care of a puppy, it's a 100% 24/7 job where almost every waking moment is dedicated to making sure the baby is comforted, well-fed, well-slept, clean and cared for. I honestly have no idea how Marissa Mayer expects to do any work during her short maternity leave, that is unless 1) her husband takes care of the baby 99% of the time, 2) they have a live-in nanny to actually take care of the baby, 3) she elects not to breast feed (which you do every 2-3 hours for a newborn) and bottle feeds instead, or 4) she will open her laptop when the baby is sleeping, which is a bad idea because you're supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps or else you become sleep deprived extremely quickly.

Ooh, nice -- thanks for the pointer.
If what you're working on is important enough and you love it enough, you would never need this.

If not, then maybe you're working on the wrong thing.

Let's stop treating the effect of poor work habits and deal with the cause: find something better to work on.

If my math is correct, she is well into the second trimester and rapidly approaching the third.

(not trying to give any credibility to the statement about first trimester... just stating that she is not in the first trimester.)

DVI/VGA only works if the GPU puts out VGA in the first place - the VGA signal just happens to be present in the same cable.

My reading of "that gap" in that paragraph is that it refers just to the last-mentioned gap, the 11 cent federal government one. The private sector numbers still appear to be larger -- also see the previous paragraph, which talked about the 19 cent difference in managers which accounted for "many observable differences."

One can enjoy the process of coding but still hate the current task assigned to you.
I don't think that's the right metaphor.

In the process of eating you have access to many choices. You have good food, you have junk food, and you have bad food.

Some people lack self control and discipline so they end up eating more junk food and bad food than good.

Same goes for the process of productivity. You have work, distractions, and hinderances.

If this is what you need to build up a habit of self control, then good for you. If not whatever.

But it also somewhat true. If I love music I would be playing my guitar every single day. Being a rockstar is sometimes both incidental and consequential.

I feel that if you need an NDA, more than likely, you're not the first person to come up with the idea, and chances are, someone else is already executing it. The NDA would just get in the way of getting the resources you need together quickly enough to execute before others.

And if you wouldn't discuss it with your own father, I'd put forward that perhaps you have some deeper trust issues.
There was a story here a while back about how the Twitter/Bootstrap developer was arguing with Douglas Crockford about whether or not he should have to insert semicolons. The cause of the argument was the fact that the minifier was changing the meaning of the code, IIRC, by preserving semicolon preference.
They've always been faster, and in fact the FDA has been catching up a bit in this regards. Waiting another few years for a cure for blindness isn't too bad. Propranolol, the first major beta-blocker, was approved in Europe in 1965 but the FDA didn't approve its use for hypertension (the most important one) until 1978. That's probably a few 10,000s of deaths right there. Though that has to be weighed against the fact that they probably saved 100s of lives by delaying their approval of practolol, a similar drug with bad side effects, so its not like the FDA's increased vigilance over Europe doesn't provide any benefit.
DVI has additional pins for carrying an analog signal, but they don't have to be used to transmit the digital one. The simple DVI-VGA adapters are merely shape changers, wiring the relevant pins from the DVI side to the VGA side.

Coding or writing are not uniform tasks. There are ups and downs, parts that are tedious, parts that go smoothly, parts that will not budge one inch despite lots of time put in (bug hunting!). It's not all the same.

Building up on that, you can't control if the next task you have is going to be a tedious or smooth one. If you have a bug, or have to parse a CSV file in your assembly language program, then you just gotta do it. Sometimes there may be a way around it, but most often there isn't. Otherwise, you'd be able to circumvent the whole task in the first place.

"A great deal of time has been wasted in the effort of measuring the heritability of traits in the false expectation that somehow the genetic nature of psychological phenomena would be revealed."

There is a strong cultural bias among much of the research community to go out of their way to deny any genetic factors in intelligence. Perhaps this is well intentioned, but it is absurd.

I have come across very few squirrels that have mastered fire, or could be taught calculus, or even addition. I doubt that this is cultural or due to the squirrels upbringing, diet, social status, or how many books the squirrel has available to it, or the quality of it's teachers, or pathogens. Clearly then, it is possible for genetics to completely dominate other factors in determining intelligence. In the animal kingdom at large heredity/genetics account for basically all of the variation in intelligence.

The unanswered question is whether there is enough genetic diversity across the human species to cause intelligence to be significantly hereditable. The fear among scientists that try to keep the lid on this question is that the answer might be yes, and worse that such variations will correlate with geographic or national groupings. This would put a very nasty perceived scientific stamp of approval on racism (even though this would be unjustified), and could over time lead to discrimination and 'scientific racism'.

Anyway, in the end science will uncover the truth here, and in the meantime it is probably very prudent to not make any potentially inflammatory statements and to be very cautious about any studies that could fuel hate. I just find it absurd that whenever this kind of question comes up people start denying that there is any hereditary component of intelligence, and that IQ is completely meaningless, etc.
That's awesome - thanks for pointing it out.

I've only poked around Heroku a bit with basic applications and the standard stacks (Python w/ Flask, etc.), but I think I'll look into what would be required to create a buildpack for Racket.

Also, I can find no reference to PHP having anonymous functions/lambdas prior to 5.3, which is the version number given in both the linked article and PHP docs.
1. That statement was from 20 years ago.

2. Is it, entirely, a myth? When I was in college we discovered that, being a state run institution, we could find out the pay of all the faculty members. The female faculty members were being paid consistently less than equivalently experienced male faculty members. After college, a good friend of mine was being paid significantly less than me (not 35% less, more like 15-20%), for essentially the same job, despite her having an MS to my undergrad degree. These are anecdotal, but outside of organizations with fixed pay bands (read: federal gov't in the US), these pay disparities do still seem to exist, though perhaps not to the same extremes.
I was expecting satire. Not what I got.

I would have accepted a caveat like "...for people who don't know how to code, but want a CMS". Like the client who told me - and I quote - "I would love to have HTML5, but PHP is fine".

"Explained" is not the same thing as "fixed", or "non-existent", gte910h. Causes of portions of the pay gap have been identified.

Even if you identify the remaining 7%, the pay gap will not be "fixed" until women are earning the same as men in actual dollars. And then we can start on ownership of wealth and seniority.

We have more than places to go, especially if we're still in a place where the treatment of women in software can be equated to the treatment of men in nursing.
Life isn't just kids. I know American society is obsessed with them, but other people have other priorities. You might have a better relationship than she will, or she might actually have a better one than you. I know no one bitches about Larry Page's "only 3 days off" when his wife gives birth. Why should we be bitching about Mayer not taking more time? That child will have more caretakers, experts, and opportunity available to it than 99.5% of all American children. Don't worry about it.

If MM performs very strongly in the CEO role, she will do more for her descendants as far as pushing half the human race into the candidate pool for leadership positions across the western world. We're leaving so much talent and perspective on the table by only picking white male leaders.
It says a lot about it. For instance:

"She examined the IQs of Black and mixed-
race children averaging 8.5 years of age who were adopted
by middle-class families who were either Black or White.
The children who were of half-European origin had virtually the same average IQ as the children who were of
exclusively Black origin. Hence European genes were of
no advantage to this group of 'Blacks.' Children (both
Black and mixed-race) adopted by White families had IQs
13 points higher on average than those adopted by Black
families, indicating that there were marked differences in
the environments of Black and White families relevant to
socialization for IQ; indeed, the differences were large
enough to account for virtually the entire Black–White gap
in IQ at the time of the study."

It says less about Jews in particular, which I'd guess is because of a lack of data. There's not a heck of a lot of Jews up for adoption, relative to blacks. But it does note:

"It is important to note that even at the highest estimates we have of Jewish IQ, Jewish accomplishment exceeds what would be predicted on the basis of IQ alone.
Nisbett (2009) has argued that the numbers of Jewish Ivy
Leaguers, professors at elite colleges, Supreme Court
clerks, and Nobel Prize winners are greater than one would
expect even if average Jewish IQ were 115. He has also
noted that remarkable as the superior achievement of Jews
is, the achievement difference between Jews and non-Jews
is far less extreme than differences between groups in many
other comparisons that cannot be explained on purely genetic grounds, such as the achievements of the Italians
versus the English in the 15th century, of the English
versus the Italians after the 18th century, of Arabs versus
Europeans in the 8th century, of Europeans versus Arabs
after the 14th century, and of New Englanders versus
Southerners throughout American history."

While it is certainly plausible that there is some big genetic influence on intelligence due to ethnicity, like there is in athletics, we have yet to find convincing evidence of it.

No matter how fulfilling or worthwhile something is, there will always be tedious parts. Always.

It's a refusal to accept this that prevents people from completing tasks -- they hit the inevitable wave of tedium, and they can't grind through it, because they assume anything that's truly edifying will be tedium-free. That's a really dangerous belief.

Now if something is all tedium, then I agree, find something else to do. But there is no project on Earth that won't have frustrating patches where your mind will try to wander.
No he is not. He evidently does not have a clue about how the police and law work here in France.

Actually, the only situation when police really don't do anything, is when you come to them with petty crimes/misdemeanors and are unable of right away identify, or provide something to easily identify the offender. I've rarely seen the police not acting when evidences of identity are provided. Like in this case. If they didn't react... it's probably because the victim wasn't European... so taking on this case would be complicated and probably end in nothing. Because most often, when the victims are strangers the case tend to end in the trash after a while. And policemen don't like the idea of doing work for nothing. But they should do it. And act more often than not.

Note : Actually the Police may be doing something, but he OP don't know it. Because what's true about French policemen, is that they're horrible at communicating.

My point wasn't that these things don't exist in other languages. Again, I'm not saying that PHP is objectively better than anything else. I know not to play that game. All that I'm doing is remaining steadfast in my claim that PHP doesn't deserve all the flak that it gets and that the language deserves consideration for a whole variety of use cases. That's all!
And so what if it was all of those first three? Though it is still a huge stigma, many fathers take on primary care of their children. Many people who can afford to, hire someone to help care for their children... most two income families at least use daycare. And many women do not breast feed for any number of reasons. But being in the news for being picked to turn Yahoo around makes her wrong for possibly doing what many, many families have been doing for years?
No doubt there's some truth here, but I would hesitate to write off the incredibly distracting and addicting power of the internet entirely. Even when I'm working on something I really enjoy, I find myself breaking to check HN, for example... The problem goes beyond motivation. Speaking only for myself, I'm so used to having my attention divided -- for example, watching TV while also surfing the internet -- that it's difficult to exclusively focus on anything.

Congrats to the JTV and SocialCam Teams!
If people only worked on truly important things, the world would be a better place. I love what I do, but my brain simply functions in a way that makes it difficult for me to focus. If I have to treat that by removing distractions from my periphery, that's not because I'm not working on something important or because I'm not working on something I love.
This is poor advice. First off not everyone has the opportunity to work on something important and that they love. Sure, it's ideal and probably a goal of everyone but sometimes it takes steps to attain that goal and sometimes people sacrifice their 8-5 hours to provide for their family.

Secondly, not everyone has the ability to get kickstarted each day to 100% productivity. You're very lucky if you do but I don't. I use Focus Booster and it helps but isn't a cure.
