I haven't felt the need to downvote a post since PG stripped us of our ability to do so, but this is unmitigated crap. A poor attempt at satire in service to some large corp is not something that should grace the front page, and the resulting conversation helps no one. It's blog spam in a different form.
I mention boot time because it's what's pointed at specifically by Poettering in his arguments for systemd as its core benefit: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html

The other functionality may be nice, but 1) it's got no place in init and 2) really complicates a key piece of system infrastructure. Complexity and change are the two dual enemies of stability. As an old-fart ops type, with scars on my hide and notches on my belt, I really hate both change and complexity. The mess with my nines.

Arch and Fedora are relatively wide of my usual ambit, but I've learned in my years to be wary of what others ask for -- you may get it and have to live with the consequences (see: GNOME).

This is historical revisionism. "Inalienable rights" made for some great rhetoric in the Declaration of Independence, but the Constitution does not use the phrase (and uses the phrase "right" only a couple of times in the main articles).

Government is a set of people, and rights arise from consensus and practice among those people. When the Founders spoke about "rights" they were referring to those recognized by British consensus and practice.
I wouldn't be surprised if this story turned out to be far less interesting once you've heard what the company has to say.

It really could just be some misunderstanding of CPC/CPM/CPA or advertisers actually being fine with it (since they can just calculate their effective CPC). This stuff is confusing for industry folks. An investment banker probably isn't fully up to snuff on all the latest in internet ads (few people are).

It also wouldn't be surprising if this friend turned out to be a disgruntled would-be banker for the company. Companies often interview multiple investment banks before choosing one, he might be bitter over losing the deal.
I think that's exactly it.

Some meetings useful, even helpful. But holding a useful meeting is not easy, which means there are many bad meetings. And that's what we should all avoid. Not meetings all together, but bad meetings.

I've been to great meetings that were facilitated well and had clear, productive goals. Those we should keep. And fortunately, when meetings are productive, there don't need to be as many of them.

But those hour long no-point crapfests, yea, no one needs those.
Hardest part of implementing a high-functioning production machine learning stack for me isn't the idea-articulating, prototyping, iterating, then polished refactoring. It's knowing when to go from a quick-producing language like Python/MATLAB/Julia to something painfully-written but smooth like C++ or into a scalable Elastic MapReduce or Mahout process (the former of which, sure, is language-agnostic).

You can only spend so much time optimizing on memory/CPU-times with smart data chunkings or low-dimensional representations or approximation operations. EC2 time and space is relatively cheap, but Python on a single machine with the multiprocessing module can only speed up by a multiple of < [# of Cores]...

My biggest problems with JPA:

1) CriteriaBuilder API is the worst API I've ever seen. I've never seen an API that turns a simple task into more lines of code than this monstrosity. I can't imagine many people use this thing, instead they use JPQL losing type safety in the process.

2) JPQL is still wildly verbose and very difficult to intertwine with native SQL. As an example try to generate something like "SELECT * FROM `order` o ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 5". That little call to RAND() makes generating this from JPA a huge pain.

3) Manual session life cycle management is terrible. It shouldn't be needed. This leads to all sorts of terrible hacks to get around it, ConversationScopes(CDI in general), opening transactions in the JSF RENDER_RESPONSE phase just so lazy loading works, etc, etc. Having used JavaEE stuff for awhile now I'm convinced a large portion of the cruft exists to support this model of session management. All the additional scopes and requisite CDI support seem to have all been created as workaround to just deal with session lifecycle.
>I think that downvotes should require a comment explaining why the downvote.

The problem with this desire is that it presumes competence. It is based upon the idea that everybody attempts to be a worthy contributor, and that every attempt is deserving of a proper critique.

This simply isn't the case. For many posts, a downvote is the best it deserves; an explanation of the root of its stupidity serves only to detract from the conversation at large.
I lean more towards Trello than Asana, but neither has got me.

Recently learnt about workflowy.com, thinking of trying it out.
Now here’s the strangest part: having discovered this blatant fraud my friend walked away from the deal but did nothing to bust the offending web site. His lawyer advised that because he signed a non-disclosure agreement with the crooks my friend might be legally liable if he turned them in to the authorities. It is his intention, though, to bust them just as soon as the NDA expires… in three years. - I thought the existence of whistleblower laws was exactly to allow for people to report things in situations like this. That is, if the article is accurate.

I think it's more likely that the story has been exaggerated in retelling several times, and "we can't reveal this for NDA purposes" is just a way for the author to not have to give any proof of any of the claims.

Your message seems to have the hidden assumption that development resources are now being redirected from wireless drivers/suspend/power management to improving boot times. This is false. Different components are handled by different people, and axing a project does not mean that the people responsible will automatically work in one of the other fields that you prioritize.

Well I'm sorry John, but Java was already a step down from C, and JS is truly paving the way to more ignorant programmers coding random crap with truly no idea of what a processor is or does.

I thought we had enough of those - really. And no, javascript is not the language of the future, and the only reason it got so much attention is because it was the logical first step for web designers learning to code.

Incidently, those same web designers then go on to use PHP, which everyone looks down upon, and MySQL, which I confirm is a true joke of an RDBMS.

* Reliable pickup in about 10 minutes by hitting a button on your phone or a text with your address -- no need to call or tell someone the address. If you've ever had the experience of waiting 30-45 minutes for a cab to ride a couple miles, or maybe the phone line is just busy, you'll know why reliability is important.

* Clean car with friendly and helpful driver (who you can rate). Seems minor, but it opens up possibilities. If you're on a date or business meeting, and for whatever reason need a ride somewhere (e.g. after drinking), uber will enhance the experience rather than cheapening it.

* No money changes hands (taken from your card on file at uber, including tip). Receipt with lots of details (including your route on a map) is emailed immediately.

* I'm pretty sure it's cheaper if you are above $15 fare, or about the same maybe.

I don't have any affiliation with uber, but I have had a great experience so far (only twice, once for me and once for someone else). I plan to use it a little more often.

I guess, in retrospect, I could probably have been happy using cabs more instead; but they just always seemed more awkward, unreliable, and just less pleasant. If I can get this for the same price, why not?

Cabs might still be better for areas where they are easy to get and you're going short distances, e.g. Manhattan or Las Vegas.
That's why there was a great initial push after the Constitution was ratified to establish the Bill of Rights. People didn't feel that it was safe enough to leave things like the freedom of speech to be covered under common/unwritten law. So some of the unwritten/understood parts of the Constitution were written into the first 10 amendments.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. I still think RISC and CISC have value as terms, however vague, because they succinctly summarize trade offs well. I fully realize that today's processors are hybrids of many techniques, and that's a good thing.
For the avoidance of doubt, when I’m talking about (not) doing away with a time dimension here, I mean from the perspective of the world changing over time as our program runs, not of associating values that effectively last forever with a certain point in time (as in purely functional data structures, version control systems, etc.).

That is, even if we follow the current trend of adopting more ideas from functional programming in mainstream programming languages, I’m saying that I doubt we will ever completely remove variable state, which is what I understand Rich to mean by “place-oriented programming”, or events that must happen in a certain order.

Instead, I think we will learn to control these aspects of our programs better. When we model time-dependent things, we want to have well-specified behaviour based on a clean underlying model, so we can easily understand what our code will do. Today, we have functions and variables, and we have type systems that can stop us passing the colour orange into a function eat(food). Tomorrow, I think we’ll promote some of these time-related ideas to first-class entities in our programming languages too, and we’ll have rules to stop you doing time-dependent things without specifying valid relationships to other time-dependent things. Some of the ideas in that second talk you linked to, like recognising that we’re often modelling a process, are very much what I’m talking about here.

As an aside, it’s possible that instead of adding first-class entities for things like effects, we will instead develop some really flexible first-class concepts that let us implement effects as just another type of second-class citizen. However, given the experience to date with monads in Haskell and with Lisps in general, I’m doubtful that anything short of first-class language support is going to cut it for a mainstream audience. It seems that for new programming styles to achieve mainstream acceptance, some concepts have to be special.

In any case, my hope is that if we make time-related ideas explicit when we care about them, it will mean that when we don’t need to keep track of time, we needn’t clutter our designs/code with unnecessary details. That contrasts with typical imperative programming today, where you’re always effectively specifying things about timing and order of execution whether you actually care about them or not, but when it comes to things like concurrency and resource management the underlying models of how things interact usually aren’t very powerful and allow many classes of timing/synchronisation bug to get into production.

> "I for one am opposed to authority. It is the egg of misery and oppression."

I agree with that, but with the distinction of natural and force authority, as e.g. Erich Fried or Noam Chomsky make it. If a little kid runs on the street, and the parent (or even a random stranger for that matter!) grabs it by the arm to save it from harm, the kid has NO vote, and that is fine. Everybody knows and understands that.

In that sense I agree with some regulation being needed to stop people infringing each other's freedom; but I strongly have to disagree with governance for the sake of governance. CHILDREN must be governed, not free men. Free men govern themselves. That is an important distinction, and anyone who shrugs it off is certainly my enemy.

Governance is NOT the end, and actually, all authority which is justifiable should also always seek, or at least hope, to be obsolete some day. E.g. the child grows up, or people are too busy prospering in peace to deceive and oppress each other, and have inherited the values and methods you teached them. But as long as you have to "be the parent", you haven't solved the problem, you just made it possible for all parties to survive until it is solved.

And always watch out for secretly not wanting the other to grow up, your own authority becoming obsolete. Kafka said this about parents and their children, how parents tend to use them just based on petty ego - how much more is it true for structures of huge power, and insane profits. Sure, Apple ain't the firm I associate with grown up stuff and equals considering others equals; but even broken clocks get it right twice a day. Still, the devil is in the details. I'd rather have eternal vigilance and freedom than rounding a corner here and there.

I've been evaluating both tools as well, and have Basecamp in the mix because my designer likes it. So far, my team and I haven't formed a consensus.

Personally, I always have my inbox open and have a management system of tags, stars, and other things to make my Gmail & Google Calendar a useful to-do list. But now that Mark mentions it, I ought to try out Streak and Baydin too. Anyone here have any experience with either one?
I'm ashamed I didn't think of this :) Thanks, it worked exactly as expected.
I have a handful of these too. (Like ecesena, I think they're "best practices", not design patterns.)

It might be useful to put up a wiki so people can discuss. Even something simple and ugly like c2.

For example, handling hyperparameters is actually a topic in itself.
I'm interested and horrified at the same time. This can get really ugly. At least when people invest in your company, if you fail you can file for bankruptcy, liquidate assets, etc... But when you're the one being invested in, that's a 10 year lock in. That's a 10 year additional TAX that you'll be paying on your income. Upon failure you can't liquidate yourself, you have to wait it out. A business (LLC, S Corp, C Corp) is at least separate from its owner. With UpStart, YOU are the business. And that's a bit too close for comfort.

Sounds like a deal with the devil type of contract, only for desperate entrepreneurs. It's hard enough letting go of your company's equity, I can't imagine what it's like to not own 100% of myself.
One reason is that trains are hugely more efficient in terms of passengers carried per operator:

On a bus carrying 50 people, the driver is a much more significant portion of the cost than a driver and a conductor on a train carrying 2000 people.

So even though it's much easier to automate a train, there's less incentive to do so, and doing so still requires investment. It'll slowly happen anyway, of course, but there's no real rush.

This is silly non-sense rhetoric. Complex systems need organization. The more complex, the more organization is required. It's something you see throughout nature, at all scales. "Natural rights" and whatnot is just mumbo-jumbo with no empirical basis.

Two Simple Ideas for Get More Fb Likes
There are so many web-sites available giving the best way to buy guaranteed facebook fans. Right now, I'd like to share two procedures essentially very well.
I would argue the opposite; in cases where your freedom is decided by network-effects rather than a more "flat" playing field within a governmental system, your set of options is reduced, and the power distance is far greater. Burbclaves isn't a path to freedom.

Even otherwise-market-oriented Hayek argued that to some extent, in arguing for why the state should provide national defense and a social safety net. In his view, it increased individual freedom for there to be a large protective umbrella that handled defense and the basic safety-net, within which individuals could move freely. Otherwise those services are provided by tribalist groupings, which set up numerous boundaries and entanglements diminishing scope for unencumbered individual decision-making: society becomes more about those groups, acting as collectives, with less of a role for individual action.

First of all - it's mostly a speculative piece - that's the point of that article. The post is a sequel to http://daringfireball.net/2012/07/this_ipad_mini_thing. Second, if you read through the first article - you'll see that he tries to justify his speculation based on some design principles that were laid down in the HCI guidelines for the iPad. He does mention where his "cupertino birds" have given him some hints though.

I don't believe there have been any assessments of the next generation iPad anywhere on the internet that have been this justified with rationale provided, or have carefully sourced all the other writers that contributed to his thinking.
