> If you're using the same salt for everything, you've very nearly defeated the purpose of using a salt.

I'm aware - it's hardly a rare use-case though (sadly).
Clojure isn't even a Lisp, it is a bunch of misconceptions with lisp-like syntax.)

Attempt to make so-called lisp by breaking code-is-data concept, or trying to use some yaml-like notation instead of s-expression with annotations (to describe a representation where we need only a structure), without proper recursion is something as far from Lisp as, say, Python.

My first year as a freelancer - pros and cons
The author has a point. Scrum is costly.

I would prefer Scrum can be costly... it will also remain costly if people don't actually do the inspect and adapt bits of scrum and aim to improve the process.

I say this as somebody who is actually not a huge fan of Scrum :-)

Obviously it is more productive to silo specific knowledge to specific people, generally the expert (or more motivated) in that field.

Actually - I often find that isn't true. If you silo knowledge then those people become bottlenecks in the process. Since their the only people everything has to flow through them that relates to that topic.

For example I find that teams improve if the "UX Expert" switches from being the person who does all of the UX work, to being the person who facilitates UX work among the whole team.

That way the easy stuff gets done by the whole team, and the UX person is freed up to focus on the tricky stuff and stops being a bottleneck for general progress on the UX front.
> After that, [...] Management was actually planning things out

The company probably would have worked just fine using the waterfall method if the management had bothered to work at all, I guess.

It improved not because of your manager took scrum classes, but because your manager took any classes.

A Year of Rdio
Rob Weychert about his experiences with Rdio. Very similar to my own experiences: There is so much music that it diminishes the meaning of individual songs, albums and artists.
Disclaimer: I actually use a kanbanish leanish approach myself myself. It's my preferred process for my current working context. I'm also very much not a fan of the Scrum certification process and what that has tended to produce in the industry. However:

I see no feedback loop for the process itself

Is just nonsense :-)

Scrum has only five events - and two of those are retrospectives (one on the increment, one on the process used). If you aren't inspecting and adapting the process then you are not doing Scrum.

Now I freely admit that one of the most common ways that people don't do Scrum is by skipping those steps. Then again it's also the most common way I see people do kanban/lean badly as well.
Well, you don't leave a fun job because the next job is better in every way. :-)

There are always tradeoffs. You just want to make sure they're trade-ups, too.

It occurs to me that there's a perfect analogy for this: the one red paperclip dude (http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/). He wanted a house, and was willing to keep trading up for it -- even when he had to trade on some pretty great opportunities, things that other people would be willing to trade for and be happy with. And, in the end, he got his house, and he stopped -- that was what he wanted, and he didn't need to trade any further.

Your current job might not be an afternoon with Alice Cooper, but maybe it's one KISS snow globe away from getting you that house you want.
But a perfect opportunity to make some cash off 30pin to 8pin connector converters ...
That's certainly not the intent behind Scrum though. The intent behind Scrum is to let the team within the sprint be pretty much completely free to implement whatever process they like to deliver the sprint goal. It's whole focus is to remove management interference from the main body of work the team does. PO figures out what needs doing. Team figures out the best way of doing it. Scrum provides a framework for accountability on both sides.

Scrum - done well - should be a tool to let the team figure out the best way to deliver.
What's confusing you? (I'm trying to help, not being snarky)

If you want to invoke some Django-based logic at regular intervals without having to install Celery (and monitoring and a decent queue) you'll opt for a management command. The link you posted should help you out here. Invoking the script yourself or telling cron to invoke it for you shouldn't be hard if you know about cron.

With regards to Celery: I think the tutorial and docs are pretty clear on how to use it and how to set it up.

Having only watched the film, I believe he could have done much better. Assuming he didn't have a better alternative, he did make the right choice: better one billion deads than total extinction by nuclear holocaust. But he most probably did have a better alternative.

First, he could have followed through on that cheap unlimited energy business. Second, he could have convinced Dr Manhattan to play the terrorist without killing so much people. Like, targeting most high-profile military installations and civilian symbols. Oh, and while we're at it, he should have financed a (Friendly) AI program as well.

I get that the guy wants to create a Bostromian Singleton. But come on, it's only level 3 on the Yudkowsky ambition scale[1]. No need for such massive killing, especially when the glowing blue ape right next to you is at least at level 5.

OS-level Passbook is a neat idea. Would be 10x more useful with NFC. Optical Scanning in 2013? Really? Think human-less.
Thanks for your comment =) Nothing is confusing me there, but try to search for "django script cron" and you'll see people suggesting setting up urls to start the script, having an external script that import settings and many other complex things. The craziest thing I've seen (but probably useful for some cases) is to have the regular requests from google-bots invoke scripts... That's why I think it's a good thing to suggest managment commands when they're so easy and integrates nicely with your apps. Celery however is good for more complex usecases. I was merely making a suggestion for best-practise.
I'm not giving best practises as I'm myself fairly new to Django, this is just a couple of packages to take a look at.

I've been deploying two projects to AWS very recently and we've been using django-pipeline and django-storages (with s3 boto storage) for asset management. ./manage.py collectstatic and all your static files are up on S3. With a bit of finagling around[1] you can even have user uploads hit there seamlessly as well.

[1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10390244/how-to-set-up-a-...

EDIT: Pipeline isn't necessary for storing static files on S3, but if you want to compile SASS/LESS/cs files or any transforms really it works really well.
Completely agree. Also, paying $30 for an adapter is further annoying!
I quite liked that as well, smart writing and having fun with the topic.

My Clojure Adventure: Intro to ClojureScript - Getting Started
I /have/ watched the skills matter video months ago. What i took away from the talk wasn't that Clojure is the last programming language, but that;

- Programming language innovation is rather cyclical.

- Frameworks can be re-implemented, languages ecosystems and frameworks are very important but one should not exclude a language because of it's lack of a framework feature (I think he was picking out .NET and Java here, suggesting that enterprises who select C# or Java because of the frameworks are missing the point)

- Polymorphism is achievable in Clojure, so many popular programming techniques are achievable.

I thought the talk was thought provoking and interesting. Whilst it certainly advocated Clojure, I certainly took the conclusion with a pinch of salt. The entire talk is twinged with humour. It's supposed to spark debate and help push people from their comfort zones IMHO.
And in case you didn't notice part 2 (Getting the Stats) is already posted: http://www.myclojureadventure.com/2012/09/intro-to-clojuresc...

Just to be clear: what makes me furious is the idea that someone would harm themselves in such a way, and yet continue down that path in a misguided journey of self-discovery (or whatever).

I've had some very similar experiences to yourself and I'm not against using drugs, per se.

But. When you say stuff like "what you think of as depth perception is but a shade of what I saw then", or "I've seen a shade of green that you probably haven't", you cannot separate what you actually perceived, and what your brain thinks it perceived. Exactly so: I'm either a great singer when I'm drunk, or I think I'm a great singer when I'm drunk.

Using drugs safely can be a lot of fun. But I take all of those experiences (including my own) with large tablespoons of salt.

EDIT:

Feel like I should add another point. Perception is everything. Your stone-cold-sober perception is just one possible state. It's the best we have, but I still barely trust it.

The biggest revelations for me, have always come from hard science. Quantum physics blows my mind, cosmology blows my mind, heck I did a degree in Physics because I was fascinated. I've never beat the lasting awe for reality, with anything that, for all I know, is utterly fake.
Business apps. However, Mobile Apps have become the new desktop apps - at least until HTML5 becomes good enough.

But my point was that the typical readers on HN are interested in the kinds of posts here (it is a self-serving argument) - which is mostly about building web apps that help people communicate better, share content, connect people, remove middlemen, manage businesses, buy and sell stuff, increase productivity and consume content.

Scientific computing, low level programming, language research, theoretical computer science and the vast array of other computing related stuff that we don't talk about here - they are extremely important. But it doesn't find a place here for a reason and that is just fine.
Agreed. I had an old manager that said that 10% is the bare minimum, just to cover the change of job risk.

Generally one can see content whether or not fonts have been loaded. You might have noticed websites showing one font after load and then very quickly changing font.
Given the huge number of distinct files served by the Webfont API, I think it's fair to have some healthy scepticism regarding the client-side caching benefits this article emphasises. While I can count on all you MBP-wielding, startup-cruising hackers to be primed with Open Serif, I'm less confident about the corporate desk jockeys who are my real users. Worth noting too that using fonts because they are widely distributed is more or less exactly what we have been trying to get away from. Still, font subsets are awesome, especially if you only need alphanumeric latin characters. For example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid%20Serif
&text=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890.,
" />

...sends Chrome back a minuscule 8.5K worth of font. Glorious!

I've upvoted in agreement but it does depend on whether you are ready to leave (I seem to get itchy feet after about 5 years even with some internal variation), are really happy where you are and what you see as the risk profile of the existing job (cuts/relocation/new boss expected). So the absolute figure needs to be flexible for non-financial considerations and may go negative in some circumstances.

If the only reason to move is the money then for me it would take more like 30% to take the risk.

It's a good post, but I think it sells short the other participants in the discussion.

It is entirely the wrong kind of anecdotal evidence, dominated by the least experienced people, under the worst possible circumstances: Pseudo-anonymous debate where you win points for getting people to click a little up-arrow and you have zero emotional investment in what people do with their lives.

Perhaps, but this diverges from the point you started with, which is that many people with whom one disagrees act as they do because they are trying to offer their insights for the benefit others. And for the most part, their intentions _are_ good. It's offensive (and I think wrong) to say that those who dominate are the least experienced or not genuinely concerned by how others will be affected.

I think that bad_user's comment about concentrating on the self and not properly considering the effect on others has merit, and should be discussed. I read Seligman's Learned Optimism based on the recommendations of you and others here, and felt I must be missing something. I went to a half dozen group CBT therapy sessions, and felt that I never connected with it or the group. The sense of "selfishness" I got from it concerned me, and was part of what turned me off.

I think CBT is probably effective for many, and probably could be for me as well if I could get beyond feeling that for it to work I would have to toss aside too many of my moral values. Rather than becoming more perceptive of my thought process, I felt that I would need to desensitize myself to self deceit, and give up my sense of truth. So for better or worse, I stopped going, but continued with the medications.

Still, I appreciated (and still appreciate) your recommendation of the book, and your willingness to share some of the ways it benefited you. I'm glad I read it, as it gives me greater understanding of the thought process behind CBT. Had I started with just the therapy, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the book. And I wouldn't have read it if you hadn't made clear that you were recommending it very strongly.

Which brings us back to the start. I read your post, I evaluate your recommendation, and I choose to act. I presume that you are acting with good will and in good intent. If instead I presume you are acting with ulterior motive and lack of concern for others, I miss the benefit of the discussion. And if you hang back and let the loudest dominant, I miss the benefit of your insight.

Engagement between different parties with different viewpoints, each offering their own solution, is the goal, not something to lament. What works for one doesn't work for all. bad_user may be wrong, but the best we can hope for is that his intents are good. It's when we stop assuming that that the communication and learning stops.
Thanks :-) I went to see a doctor a few days ago, they gave me some medication that literally took me out all night and all day. Won't be taking it ever again, but it helped stop the thoughts. Only a temporary solution, I'll be getting some help!

Thanks for your concern - it actually does mean something to read your comment :-)
"I enjoy the work I do now, but it can be stressful trying to code in an open plan office which also hosts other business concerns (communications, NOC...)"

Intra-Ear headphones. Especially with noise cancelling. They do wonders.
Wow, this is incredibly timely. I'm in the middle of series of interviews with a number of companies and this has already come up. Just two days ago I turned down a senior position that was about a 30% pay bump from where I am now because I felt like the job would not only be not fun+, but so restrictive and stressful that I left the interview sweating just thinking about it! I called them back that afternoon and let them know that regardless of what they decide, I simply didn't want to work in that position.

Yesterday I had a really positive interview with a company that I think would be fun, but would represent a 20-30% pay reduction. You know what? I've pretty much settled on the fact that if they like me, I'll probably say yes to it.

I've spent the last 15 years bouncing around between large and small companies, large meaning 30,000, 40,000 and 125,000 employees, and small meaning 15, 6, 4, 30, 16 and 2 employees. I was always moving up in salary and building a career and so never really gave much thought to if I was having fun or not. But looking back, and particularly after that last 3 very stressful years trying to turn around a distressed startup, I would much rather go back to working at the companies I had more fun with, even taking my original salary to do so.

The stress, overwork, aggravation and frustration and sleepless nights is just simply not worth it. I've spent significant portions over the last 3 years ill from problems that are probably stress related. I've gained weight, lost fitness and my work-life balance has gotten terribly out of whack. I just realized earlier in the week that my license expires next week and I literally have so many meetings scheduled that I simply won't be able to make it to the DMV in time. I've even had to cancel my vacation for the later part of this year.

I realized this year that of the three major parts of my day, with 1/3 sleeping and 1/3 working, I'm so miserable that the 1/3 I should have as free time is simply wasted either over working, or coping with stress. And realistically I'm not even getting my 1/3 sleeping time either.

My advice is, if you are happy with where you are at with your career, and can reasonably afford to take a pay hit, there's no amount of pay that can make up for poor health, constant stress, loss of weekends and time with friends and family. I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where I can conceive of a 50-60% delta from my current earning potential to consider a position where I think I might enjoy my time there. I recognize that not everybody is in the same position. But try and be more judicious in what positions you end up in than I've been. And when you work for a place and the fun stops, start to look for the next gig.

+fun defined as a rewarding and challenging job where I'm free to work on interesting problems and focus on the customer. Something I look forward to coming back to day after day and not something I have to will my way through.

Of course this works as long as the additional deceit doesn't defeat the advantages of compression and even then it still feels like security through obscurity.
