> Is there a reason why women should take care of newborns full time? Yes, that's what is natural (meaning occurs in nature).

A lot of things happen in nature. But is there a reason a women is required to raise an offspring? Apart from breast-milk, there isn't anything a man can't do.

> Is there any reason her husband shouldn't help her? I don't really see one.

No reason at all. I am more interested in parent's comment about woman required to take care of babies. Let alone helping, I don't see a reason why a man can't raise a baby all by himself.
Why call it anything? Simply responding with a clearly articulated, contrary opinion is more than enough. I agree with your opinion on the matter, however.
Yeah, that's what should be happening, but sometimes the software breaks, or the security restrictions on the certificates accepted by the browser changes and the vendor of the product doesn't update fast enough or the certificate that's installed is out of date or whatever.

In which case I end up shit creek without a paddle because there's no way to temporarily disable the security feature.

And I do not have control over the Proxy server because I'm not in the fucking security team.
Hollywood stars do it all the time. It takes every bit as much drive to get where they are, too.
Ovulating Girls have More Sexual Fantasies
Several studies on finding differences in women’s sexual desire or interest across the menstrual cycle have found out that women have more sexual fantasies when they are ovulating.
I suppose it's more typical for females to be the child rearing parent but there are many households where this is reversed. I suspect the previous commenter is familiar with more traditional roles and is possibly very child oriented themselves.

The fact is, many parents of either gender just aren't that interested in being heavily involved with child rearing. There's nothing wrong with that. Others are heavily involved and live their lives solely for their children. Good for them.

Gender can be somewhat of an indicator of what type of person you are likely to be regarding children, but you can't expect someone to be a certain way just because of their gender.
"it's a matter of reducing the complexity of migration"

You put the code in your application so you can switch out the database, but why do you want to switch databases?

You can't switch out the database for one with more features, because then you're not using the lowest common denominator any more, and you can't switch back.

It can't be licensing costs, because postgresql licenses are free.

The only other reason I can think of is performance. But trying to avoid database features just because you might want to migrate to a less-featureful database later seems more likely to result in performance problems than prevent them.

I agree you don't want to go out on a limb with crazy features just because you can. But those features are there for a reason, and might drastically simplify portions of your application if you use them. And a lot of them are SQL standard, just not supported properly in all database systems.

Also, I'd like to point out that database migrations themselves are quite rare once they become established in an organization. You might be able to migrate one fairly simple application if you bend over backwards trying to use only the simplest features; but once a few applications are depending on it, it's just too expensive.
"Try it before you buy it." Yahoo has something that Google wants: traffic. However Google probably has doubts about the health of Yahoo as most people do. So have a friend learn about the company inside and out and then make a decision: buy the company if it looks good or don't buy it of you find out it truly is thoroughly rotten inside.

> For example, distance from mother during early months has been shown to have negative effects on the child's development.

Interesting. Citation please.

> The same for not breast-feeding.

I believe there are a certain percentage of women who either don't willingly breast-feed or are incapable. How does it affect their babies? Are their studies?

> Hell, even negative feelings felt by the mother while the child is in the womb are shown to affect it.

I am more interested in when the baby is out of the womb.

> just because some people have wishful thinking dogmas that "we are exactly the same", "interchangeable" etc, it doesn't mean it's true.

Call it wishful thinking, and it's not about "we are exactly the same or interchangeable". I am willing to be corrected, but I think a man by himself is capable of raising a child in a normal way(sans breast milk).
Observers are one of the worst possible solutions because they lie outside the purview of, well, everything in the system. You don't ever see them in the code. You don't know they are there. They are pieces of unicorn code that have side effects that you won't know about or see because they aren't "in the code". Horrible solution.

Code should be simple and easy to understand. Observers add significant complexity and make your code vulnerable to unnecessary bugs because the code that acts on your objects is invisible to the normal control flow of the program and those who write or maintain it.
A few years ago, I worked at a startup peripherally related to the search space and we did some usability studies on the google search page. What we found then, more or less, is that people generally feel like there is no problem with google's search results, and if you pressed them to try to find something that google could not find easily, instead of thinking google let them down, they essentially blamed themselves for not being able to find it. It's hard to sell a solution to a problem people don't think they have.

With that kind of thinking, it's really hard to build a product to go head to head with google that is so much better that can change people's habits directly. From my perspective, you either need to somehow change the equation for some sort of query attribute (e.g. google may not be as timely as twitter so I'll switch to it when something like an earthquake happens) and eat slowly away at the google advantage, or you need to build a product that first targets the thought leaders (something like building a better code search or social search) and then make google un-cool to use.

Either way, it's a tough row to hoe.
Care to elaborate? I don't feel like I'm billing too often (I send invoices once a month), and I'm not sure what you mean by too much?

Stanford Application Essay
Good start, but needs more explanations I think. If I was totally new I wouldn't understand what this stuff is.

Actually, I am totally new, but I've seen talks and read various tutorials, so I can understand the concepts presented here.

I think this stuff is really important and people really should become aware of how do handle blocking IO in Go. Maybe then people will finally realize that things like Node (and Twisted, and Tornado, etc) are not really a good way to handle blocking IO after all.

I'm very excited about Go, and I don't understand why it's not catching up yet with the startup crowd.
Selenium can handle a lot of gui issues with different browsers. There are also tools to compare images (could be used with screenshots).

Yes ultimately you need human eyes and on the product. It also helps to have someone with a QA mentality, who has a developed intuition for breaking things and finding edge cases. But rigorous use of automated testing, code review, and dogfooding greatly reduces the need for dedicated QA.
The cert itself was broken in the most recent case.
That's a good point. It's sometimes difficult trying to search for programming topics now. "Did you mean UIView?" No, Google, I really did mean NSView.

Sometimes it's OK to let your imagination run wild. Especially when the 20th employee of thriving Google chooses to be the CEO of stagnating Yahoo.
Brandon's blog is amazing, and definitely worth reading / subscribing to!
We've been in the position of Fez's creator, and it pains me to say, we made the same choice as him (except for the drama) but... the $40k figure is way, way off. I have no idea how Tim Schafer came to it, or rather, how he was misinterpreted (because the man is obviously NOT an idiot).
The logistics and lawyering and so forth is something that you will have to deal once. After that, the process is entirely reproducible.

In fact, a company the size of FogCreek or SE should be able to just hire one immigration lawyer and get this done with.

In fees to the government, a H1B application costs less than $1k (~$2.5k if you get the "expedited" process to bring the response time from USCIS from 3 months to 15 days), so the $5-10k range should actually include more than enough hours from a half-decent office that can deal with getting the paperwork and filling all the requirements from the government.

The one thing that they could have used as an excuse not to do it: the fact that all the Googles and Microsofts around take all the quota of H1B applications and they are pushed out of it. That would've been valid until 2008, but since 2009 the quota hasn't been filled.
What's important is that you've found a way to feel morally superior and do nothing to address the concerns raised by your parent that it doesn't achieve its goal and thus diverts valuable resources away from better thought-through initiatives that would be effective at reaching that goal. A true internet warrior.
Agree the amount seems obscene. But technically as long as they believe, at the end of that period, that Yahoo has done say $150M better, for example, then on the net Yahoo was better off. I doubt that Ms. Meyer (and indeed, probably most CEO's) are really worth what they get paid, but I do think it's possible that here coming on board may have a big enough impact, both directly and indirectly, to move the needle for them by $100M+ net relative to alternate courses of action. And that's all that's needed for the math to justify it. One question will be, of course, whether if by her coming over it also leads to other Google caliber folks switching ships as well. I've heard people say she's a great choice, and people say bad, but I can't add anything either way. It's likely that she was one factor in Google's success. It's also likely that some people give her too much credit and she got a little lucky. Both can be true.
I both agree and disagree with your post. I do agree that people's discoveries and successes are very much based on luck (i.e. external factors), but I don't think personal accomplishment, progression, and overall contribution is luck based. Sure, becoming a Mark Zuckerberg takes luck, but the only difference between him and other people (assuming sufficient time in a certain subject) is that the general public liked and found a use for Zuckerberg's idea more. Essentially, success is luck-based, but genius is not.
Mayer got engineering training, but became a place product manager almost immediately. More Jobs than Gates, but without the artistic side. Still better than most Yahoo CEOs.
They don't have the same work schedule.
How much work (number of hours) goes into testing this type of game? Using $150/hour as a basis, that would cover 266 hours of testing time. As somebody with no experience in game testing, this sounds more like government pricing in aerospace.
Thank you. This makes me feel much better after reading that awfull object-oriented article.
Sort of unrelated, but it was my first thought: I sort of wish there was a cross platform store for wrapped web apps that could make them look sort of native-ish, that was widely adopted.

Not because this is actually something I want or think would be better than a browser, but simply because seems to be significantly easier to get users to pay for something that behaves like a native app, ie, turns up on their dock. I have a theory if you wrapped a web view and put it on the mac app store, the average user (ie one who has no idea what web view means) would pay more for it than the same product in a browser.
There is no criticism really, I agree with you. But was just feeling uneasy and vented it. I welcome downvotes to my GP comment.
It's refreshing to finally see Rolling Stone taking an interest in climate science.
Semantic changes in configuration files are problematic in MySQL for the same reasons they are problematic in PHP (the only other language that seems to do that):

* Your application then no longer works properly on a default install. Possibly in very subtle ways that you won't notice.

* Upstream will never make your settings the default. It would break too many applications, so you are on your own with those settings pretty much forever.

* Few users use non-default settings, so you are more likely to run into strange behaviors that are either bugs or can't be readily explained in a forum.

* Just imagine if you are trying to support multiple applications that each have their own settings they prefer. Especially if you want to integrate your data together at all, which is one of the main purposes of a database system.

She is but my sense from various web articles is that she's acquired richer tastes as well. If you're income/wealth jumps by a factor of 100x you can be set for life. But if your spending/lifestyle costs jumps by a factor of 100x too, then your ramp shortens and you need to stay a working stiff (admittedly at the executive level) just to keep your lifestyle going. But agreed that even despite this effect, it's probably not the Yahoo pay (bump) that motives her, but the jump to CEO and losing the feeling of perhaps hitting a ceiling inside Google. The competition inside Yahoo is likely not as tough as inside Google too, and there's a great opportunity to move the needle. And even if she tanks as CEO or hates it, she still can't really "lose" because she should still have plenty of FU money. So, arguably a heads-I-win / tails-I-dont-lose opportunity.
Kind of a zeroeth world problem, when the highest paid and pampered employees in the industry aren't getting another 1x or so extra median U.S. household income worth of raises quite as frequently as they might in better circumstances.
JustBeenPaid - "You've Just Been Paid"
i think this is the same reason why go is so conservative in many ways - it's just their style. see http://dreamsongs.com/WIB.html which is the definitive reflection on why c is not lisp (if you're young enough to not already have seen it ;o)

i don't know of a good preprocessor/template engine that does what you want (i had a similar need recently and came to the conclusion that there's a hole here - but i don't know m4 well enough to know what a replacement should look like). could you not use some language that compiles to c (gambit springs to mind) or switch to go (i haven't used go much, but from a little experience it strikes me as a very good "better c").

i guess another option is to look at the llvm toolchain. maybe you can hack their c front-end...?
> the implication that a mother being close to a new born child is completely equal to a father being close to a new born child is PC ideology.

Then I expressed myself badly:

I do think that without hard work/talent Bill Gates and all these other successful people wouldn't be where they are now, but without luck and the correct circumstances all the hard work in the world doesn't bring you anywhere, your genius won't help you.

Look at William S. Burroughs' life - an extremely talented writer from a rich family, who still "dropped out of society", later befriended Kerouac and Ginsberg who were the big factors (reasons?) in him becoming a great writer from age 40, without these people we wouldn't know the name; his genius wouldn't have helped him alone.

The only reason I can think of is it might be used to identify the encoding as UTF-8. Could be useful for parsers when the encoding type is not specified, say in the XML declaration, or when there is a mismatch between the BOM and the declaration? Other than that, it's unecessary.
> She could have run off and been a startup founder and “CEO,” but what kind of power is that, really? Running around Silicon Valley begging VCs for a handout; pitching weary journalists on another software product; building everything from the ground up and never knowing if people will actually use it.

What happens when you're trying to compile native libraries for your high level language?
You're probably in the minority. My usage of desktop software has been dropping dramatically over the years. I'm basically left with 5 or 6 apps, including a browser, a file picker, a code editor, and a command prompt. The more powerful the web/internet apps become the more the desktop gets sidelined, and any reason to Ubuntu over any other desktop becomes a pretty moot point.
