Cardio? I lift weights, it makes me feel much better than cardio, even if I am the only girl in the weight room.

I don't think getting up earlier than my current 7AM would work for me. But perhaps I can make my morning time more optimal. Thank you for the suggestion.
Better not. It's giving too much power to the browser, and it's just reinventing native apps
Thank you. I know this sort of topic comes up from time to time. Some great thoughts in that other thread.
I don't think you see the point :)

The point is that there is, in essence, no point. That's the same as the point of working on a Bonzai tree. It has no point except that you can come to inner/outer peace and beauty.

If you read carefully you see that actually I see 'few hours per week', so there is no mentioning of 'trade all the knowledge'; you are not going to work on ancient stuff fulltime.

For children you might be right; I just know what I was like and what the kids I hung out with were like; I grew up in the 80ties and significant parts of that I spent disassembling, soldering, recreating and such of OLD (50-60s) radio's. Because they are EASY to understand and master.

My issue with PyGame for children (versus for instance an Arduino kid, Rasberry PI or Xgamestation or, much cheaper and better documented, an ancient computer) is that I have seen many kids growing up like that (replace PyGame with VB or HTML) and they don't have A CLUE how a computer works. And when they try to learn that, it is hard to make that step from this, basically, blackbox system to how it actually works. You got that, but many don't.

But yes, I'm biased, I just know quite a few people who followed me and are happy with it; I just summed up stuff I/we get from that. I'm probably just crazy :) And I do know you can do this in JS too but people just don't because their computeres are powerful enough to do it with a ton of fancy libs and tools. In my experience it ends up people (and yes there are exceptions; you are probably one of them) just being lazy.
Proclaiming 2 quarters' income figures from one single player as unambigiously good news for a huge diverse market is a bit hyperbolic, don't you think?

It's like saying a $1M exit for a random startup is unambigiously good news for all startups. What if the startup took an investment of $2M? What if the founders lost money and are now stuck in a low paying job? What looks good on the surface could very well be bad news if you know all the facts.
Heh, I do like this. Mostly because it fits with the philosophy around soul-sucking time-wasting meetings, most of which are often started at the behest of management, which often have no purpose, focus or goals associated with them.

However, the only organizations where something like this would have a snowball's chance would be those that don't already have a dysfunctional management culture. In which case you probably wouldn't be so put off by either approach since you would already have a relationship of trust, the freedom to decided to do what is needed and a general lack of resentment towards management and the business in the first place.

Or you could simply have the managers confront the offending employees one on one instead of blanketing your whole staff with a policy change...

A company culture where the slack of certain employees gets discussed in a boardroom and the solution is to email everyone a policy change sounds suspiciously like a culture that abdicates the responsibility to lead.

In the future I think this is going to have to play out the way it has been for Netflix: As streaming services disrupt other revenue models, content producers will begin charging streaming providers more money.

Right now, though, it's still easy to think of Spotify in the way Keating suggests: As a form of advertising first and foremost.
z in the US is pronounced zee, in the UK zed, so certainly not an example of onomatopoeia for Brits, or a particularly good example for Americans. It's certainly a stretch to attribute it this way.

To be fair, some user-agents, such as the Blackberry PlayBook, ask for permission from the user to use WebGL when a site wants it.
Unfortunately this does not magically make your request come from Google's IP block for their web crawlers. Just as easily as the attacker put in User Agent checks, they could have put in source IP checks.
I got turned off of this stuff in college. The whole probability wave business has always smelled like smoke and mirrors to me. Schrodinger's cat has always smelled to me as well ... especially a few days after the experiment, even if I didn't open the box...

I like this Occam's razor approach. No more magic. There's a field there. We don't yet understand it, but it's there, effecting things, and it's our job to actually figure out what it is, not wave our hands about probabilities. This feels real to me. The other interpretation did not.
Rails is turning into a framework that includes everything, including the kitchen sink. Personally, I prefer to use the best tool for the job and node.js seems to be a much saner choice when doing realtime communication, since everything in node.js is non-blocking. There are so many ways to shoot yourself in the foot if you develop large realtime systems in Ruby (or any other language that includes a lot of blocking libraries).
Yes you can do the same in PHP by disabling output buffering. You're limited by the web server's concurrency model however. Apache's mod_php only works on the prefork MPM so your concurrency is limited by the number of Apache processes you can spawn (which can be quite bloated because you run the PHP interpreter inside Apache). Another less commonly used but still notable setup is PHP via FastCGI (e.g. when using PHP through Nginx). Here you are limited by the number of PHP-FastCGI processes you spawn.

So, the stereotype exists for a reason

The stereotype certainly has validity insomuch as stereotypes do, but it isn't because men are biologically or mentally incapable of raising children. Instead it's a happenstance of history that women usually did the child rearing while men did the hunting and gathering and war making. Each sex had their roles, and this is seen in almost every culture, everywhere where people were found, throughout history.

Now we don't have to hunt and gather or wage war -- or at least not as frequently -- so those roles are obsolete. That doesn't remove the culturally entrenched positions.

So you have men feigning strategic incompetence to avoid something they've been conditioned not to do, and women assuming incompetence of the other sex, acting territorial about their responsibilities. While we are more enlightened now, that doesn't undo millennia of precedent.
True. If you are prone to "drunk installing" then you are best to not enable that feature. They can't engineer around all stupidity.
let's not kid and declare that there is a need to focus on men when women are the most impacted in regards to this kind of sexism and are the least able to be free from it.

"We've demonstrated that women can do what men do, but not yet that men can do what women do. That's why most women have two jobs - one inside the home and one outside it - which is impossible. The truth is that women can't be equal outside the home until men are equal in it." Gloria Steinem

Making men equal partners in parenting isn't going to happen by focussing on only one of the parents.
Ideally, a company should have no policy stating how things get done. A real manager manages. A coward looks to the company to manage his or her people.
Although I don't have a Quora account, I definitely won't be signing up for one after hearing this news.

I dislike the idea of passively sharing information. In my opinion, sharing should be a conscious decision the user makes, not something that the user is tricked or forced into.
Well, let's not say "never" going to happen... I'd like to think that _someday_ gigabit internet will be the norm. :)
All I can say is that I live in a state of radical disarray, and I often have books just sitting around. I wouldn't ever call them guilt piles, because leaving something unfinished causes me no real guilt, especially if I'm happy with whatever I'm doing at the moment.

In my work life, I feel I need to fight that instinct. But not in my reading life. That's part of what makes it a refuge for me.

Under the Many Worlds Interpretation, the observations we could explain in terms of waveform collapse are due to entanglement decoherence. The argument for Many Worlds is that since our observations can be explained[1] in terms of other well understood properties of quantum systems that we even have equations defining, there's no need for this "waveforms collapse" hypothesis that isn't even mathematically where we don't have any equations that tell us when it occurs.

The idea, if you're not familiar with it, is that when a photon hits a partial mirror part of the waveform goes one way and part goes another way. When scientists conduct an observation of the photon they become entangled with it, and similarly there are two sections to the scientist+photon waveform. But because the mass of the waveform is now really humongous, you aren't going to be able to observe quantum effects the way you do with a single photon.

[1] Except that alone doesn't tell us where Bode statistics come from.

Valve's organizational structure has always been of great interest to me from an idealistic point of view. There have been a lot of articles written recently that cover nearly all aspects of this interest-based economy for developers, artists and so on. Other companies, such as Github, seem to have adapted similar models.

Regardless of the article though, one detail always seems to slip past me. Who answers the phones?
"Can Rails compete with Node.js?"

For the perplexed: Node isn't a web framework.
American Express Denies Signing on for Google Wallet Expansion
Both! I think the the complexity stems from the fact that an order (or an invoice) is a "human" and "fuzzy" artifact, while a relational database or TCP/IP stack is a mathematical-technical artifact and therefore much more amenable to the computer model. (I don't want to imply that a database isn't complex, but as Intuit shows: modeling accounting on a computer is also pretty damn complex.)
Pardon the ignorance, but can't this be achieved by simple Ajax requests provided by any of the js frameworks? How is this better?
Yes, but Google contributed a huge patch to Mono to make it work, making changes in the runtime all over the place. So LLVM is not the reason, at least not in this case.

Maybe there is also a NaCl backend for LLVM, I don't know ...
I think this is a bit of an overreaction given that Rails has always been a "batteries included" framework. The fact that Rails allows for socket-like behaviour now is not a tipping point, but simply a nice little feature that may prove useful to some.

When Rails starts including a messaging stack, job server, and more, then I'd be right behind you in your complaint.
To be fair, Paul is far from the first to make such an observation. It has long been called strategic incompetence and is a very common behavior to avoid doing something you don't want to do.
According to the zdnet article linked by recoilednsake:

Update: A spokesperson is now saying the reason for this Metro de-emphasis is not related to any litigation. (I asked if it is related to any kind of copyright dispute that hasn't yet gone to litigation and was told there would be no further comment.)

The spokesperson added:

“We have used Metro style as a code name during the product development cycle across many of our product lines. As we get closer to launch and transition from industry dialog to a broad consumer dialog we will use our commercial names.”

Ajax requires long polling, this PUSHES the response to the server, thus obviating the need for long polling.
>While I don't feel Facebook is doomed, this article really lacks meaningful content.

But look at the site its coming from. Most of what they pump out is hyperbole about ycombinator(or some other VC pal of theirs) companies, lacking meaningful content, and it seems they write about their every move, no matter how trivial, from the company's start to end. I remember an article published about Kevin Rose saying he'd "shoot" bad ideas in the head. An entire article, just to tell everyone he wouldn't waste time on bad ideas.
I think he's saying he wants to make programming better for newbies.

It really kinda sucks for them right now.

Serious hard-core engineers that need serious tools are actually pretty well served by current tools. No, no, they're not perfect. But we're way better off than somebody who's just beginning in terms of what tools are aimed at us.
I think the problem is that Rails was designed to solve the web problems of 2005 and a lot has changed since then.

The shift to single-page, JS-driven applications and large numbers of dynamic updates requires a different set of design priorities and the performance characteristics of Ruby itself are more problematic in this environment.

In many cases it makes more sense to use something like Go or Node or Erlang that was designed to handle these kinds of loads from the ground up.
Honestly, it goes well beyond childcare. I think a lot of people simply don't expect men to do anything but go to work and come home and mow the lawn with a beer in hand.

When my son was in Cub Scouts, I remember the scoutmaster asking the kids how they helped at home (in order to get a badge or something). My son said "I help my Dad cook." Scoutmaster looked puzzled for a second, then said, "oh, you mean on the grill. OK!" No, he means he helps me make breakfast, lunch, dinner, bake cookies, whatever needs to be done.

Likewise when my wife was pregnant, she couldn't lift heavy things during the last couple months. We live on a horse farm and normally she thinks nothing of tossing around 60lb bales of hay. When she was asked who was doing her chores when she was pregnant, and she said that I was, the look of amazement on the other woman's face was classic "are you serious???"

Oddly enough, no one seems surprised that I change diapers!

Absolutely agree. This is how the email should look like:

"Hi Everyone,

Starting next week if you want to work from home you must send an explanatory writeup to your manager who will decide whether to allow it."

On a tangential issue: I hate when people sign their emails (especially internal ones) when there's a perfectly serviceable from field. If you have to then please be thoughtful and use the -- signature convention.
It isn't, but in the context of the article I was talking about competing on the ability to support certain I/O use cases, not comparing features.

If you send an email that even hints that you don't respect me and my judgment enough to just leave me alone and get my job done, it's going to rub me the wrong way

What if you do have a problem with that, though?

But an email is the wrong way to do this. The right way is to personally talk to everyone and say "this has been a problem, so we're going to try something new." It takes a lot longer, but no one said management was easy.
That is actually a large controversy right now. Generally speaking you have to attend the government school in the same tax district as your residence. Unless of course you have enough money to go to a religious or independent school but those can cost $20,000+ per year.

There is a push for "school vouchers" that allow you to move between government schools or use government funds to pay for tuition at a non-government school. This is opposed by the teacher's union as it will "drain funds from schools that need most" (schools are funded by property tax with per-student funds from the state and federal government).

Those libraries/languages don't have the user install base of javascript, which is nearly every single piece of computing that has been released in the last 10 years, albeit most of those older models probably won't be able to run the javascript that's running now.

How to Get CSS Pseudo Element Animations Working
I really like this. I have trouble with git - it is not my first VCS, and many of the command aliases that it uses are not intuitive or do something very different from what they do in other VCSes.
Here's a more pertinent question:

Why is this on the front page?
I agree. My first thought after reading was "I bet this guy has an MBA degree."
I'm actually quite excited about this, because I think it makes a lot of sense for this to be in Rails, for a couple of reasons.

First of all, there aren't really any decent solutions for the problem in Ruby. There's a few projects with great potential, but nothing really mature - when I needed to do this, I went with cramp.in, which hasn't been updated in over 6 months now sadly. Node.js would unequivocally have been the better tool for the job, but I didn't want to learn Javascript or Node for this one-off.

Secondly, even if there were mature Ruby equivalents to Node.js, or no impediment to me using Node, I can still see a lot of benefit to doing this in Rails. Personally I think it makes sense to be able to send events down to the clients and hook into the same models and business code you already have in place in the Rails app. (For certain use-cases, for example a project that's in Rails, is mostly a "regular" web app, but you want to give live updates for certain model changes, such as messages, ticket changes, new blog posts, whatever - obviously if the app is totally oriented around live functionality then node would probably be a smarter choice)

(I apologise for using the term "Node.js" as if its another web framework, I know that's not entirely accurate but I don't know enough about it to write more accurately!)

I've used git for almost a year and it's still furiously unfun to interact with. It's not easy, it's not transparent, and it's not intuitive. You need to really, deeply understand git in order to use it. I don't want to really, deeply understand git any more than I really, deeply want to understand rsync. It's a tool. I just want to use it.
I just had a my first kid, she's 5 months old now.

On the weekends, we stay with my parents and they take care of the little one. Tuesday and Thursday, I take care of her from 8 am (morning) until 1 am (next day). I work on Saturday + Sunday to make up for those two days. My wife takes care of the kid on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She works the rest of the days.

Yes, it would be nice to have her take care of the kid full-time. She wants to. She had debt from law school and wants to pay that off first. Until she makes that decision, everybody helps out.

There is a fundamental difference between want and can. Unfortunately, many of the decisions we make before we have children limit our options after we have them.
