Apple has done it a lot of times before (like most companies).

I think the maps feature that Apple believed they could produce, at the time they made the decision, was probably very different from the maps feature they were actually able to produce.

Scrum is by and for management, not developers. Want your devs in at 9am? No problem, hold the standup then. Want to easily replace your dev team with an outsourced one? No problem, a Scrum team is a black box as far as the rest of the organization is concerned, one with a well-documented interface. Etc, etc.

Whatever a culture war may or may not entail (I choose to remain optimistic, no matter how foolish that may be), it is certain that it will not be won by curbing our words to avoid offence. There are things that must be said about certain aspects of modern society that simply cannot be said politely.
Another: Hypochondria causing lack of sleep and resulting in poor health. Making it less likely to be able to fight disease. Can't cite anything (although it may be out there) but certainly makes intuitive sense.

Lack of sleep of course would also cause one to drink more coffee which can be a gerd type irritant (I speak from personal experience here).

I appreciate the feedback, especially when it is constructive criticism. It helps me understand how other people were interpreting the post. Perhaps I got the positioning slightly wrong as I wanted it to be more about teaching the basic math and how to translate that into Ruby. I will try and get the positioning better next time.

While we do some stats in Ruby it definitely doesn't represent the entire "this is how we solved it". In fact we use a large amount of R and Java to solve all our statistics problems.

Oddly, the bit you call out as critical of Clojure, and use to say he has no clue what he's talking about, is the bit where he says that a tool written in Clojure "works brilliantly" and is an example of how Clojure is more useful to people than Common Lisp.

Read in context, I took that "shell script" statement as trying to describe Lein from the user's perspective-- which would make sense, given that his point there is its utility.

For what it's worth, I've never used Lein, and had no presuppositions about it. When I read the paragraph, I carried away the idea that Lein was written in Clojure and acts like a well-done command-line tool.
One big difference is that Vim has been a de facto standard for a very long time, and it's ubiquitous - you can trust just about any server to have vim installed - so the investment to learn it has a much more guaranteed pay-off.
The least crazy thing old be an iPhone case which does NFC and talks bt 4.0 to the phone.
It may gain a following yet. There are two schools of thought when it comes to productivity tools such as shells, editors, and programming languages. Some think they should be optimised for ease of learning; others, instead for power and efficiency to those who already know them.

As a user of Emacs, Blender, and Perl, I’m probably in the latter camp. And this tool seems like something I might enjoy using. But I don’t think that, as a rule, things should be designed this way unless there’s a very good reason to do so, backed by user research. I would not design a programming language like Perl, for example, because “people who program” will always outnumber “programmers” and it’s best to cater to the majority.

I didn't say it was critical of Clojure. It was misinformation and I called it out as such. Regardless of perspective, incorrect is incorrect.

Furthermore, he did clearly state that lein's design is "Oogly" and seemed to be using his shell script statement as an example.

EDIT: Re-reading your post, I'd like to point out that my response here is solely about his remarks about leiningen and not the post in general. I'm passing no judgement on what he knows and doesn't know in general and merely pointing out that Leiningen is absolutely not just a big ol' shell script like he implies. Whether he meant it that way or not, I felt someone needed to point out that it isn't true.

The Maker Bug
Since i started my CS course i have noticed something rather interesting. I know longer feel so excited and interested by new technology releases like the next iPhone, or the next generation of {gadget_name}. Now i care much more about building things than actually using them, and if i actually care about this "next tool", is probably because it's gonna help me build my next project. Seems like i got the maker bug. Just wanted to know if this feeling is shared among others. Thank you!

>The article also touches on a more widely applicable idea that we should all push for more evidence based law making.

This is why I've always said laws should always be passed with a probationary period.

After a law is enacted, it would have to be voted on a again, after a few years have passed or it would automatically expire.

--Obviously there would be some exemptions, such as annual budgets.

It's illegal to commit murder in real life, but a large fraction of very popular novels, movies, and TV shows are about fictional murders -- Macbeth, Sherlock Holmes, CSI -- there are literally thousands, or maybe millions, of examples.

As long as no actual murders took place in its making, art about murder is perfectly okay.

It seems logically inconsistent to be okay with artistic depiction of one crime but not another
Before the GFC killed them, SiCortex had a design where MIPS cores were grouped together on a single die with MPI-specific fabric logic.
Some of the commentary is sad.

Injustice is injustice no matter where it happens.

The reality is that masses of people in third world countries are exploited and they don't have very many options to do otherwise. The governments and multinational companies are very interested in maintaining this status quo -- that is how you can earn billion (get cheap labor for low costs and sell at high prices).

Apple doesn't sell their products at 1/5th the price in the US to reflect the local rates (for that matter most things like a Mercedes would sell for the same international price). The point is that a large section of world population is denied many benefits simply because where they are (think about the quality of medical treatment in the US vs a place like China or India or Uganda).

It is in one's interest to ensure access to all such services/products at low cost (subsidized by someone else) while ensuring comparatively high compensation due to residence in a first world nation.

Hopefully the inequity will grow smaller over time.
Agreed.

If we are going to "pump" up the SEO factor, things like https://www.yourmechanic.com/book/#/addj=10021 for "Car is not starting" would not be in place.

Instead, maybe something like https://www.yourmechanic.com/fix/10021/car-is-not-starting

So yeah, I wouldn't necessarily hold this site up as heavily SEO optimized. Nothing against the company as they are a young company just not a good example IMO.

There’s a tradeoff involved. Sometimes the effort of planning is greater than that of doing it by hand. Usually I start a repetitive task, notice the repetition, then finish it off in a better way only if it’s less work than going on manually. There’s perhaps more value in noticing longer trends; for example, making a keybinding to duplicate the current line when you find yourself saying C-{a k k y y} more than is healthy.
its been fun to watch this start up from the very beginning.
IE6 barely even registers on our analytics reports anymore. At Improvely, 15 browsers identified as IE6 out of the last 30k site visitors, and I would bet at least some of those are just bots using IE's user-agent.

Since Microsoft stopped publishing their IE6 compatibility VirtualPC images, I've stopped testing sites in it. IE7 and up are supported, though things look prettier in IE9+.

P.S. I publish W3Counter's monthly browser usage share reports. Across the ~60k sites W3Counter tracks, IE6 is down to 0.7% usage.

While this is probably security related, disabling compression is actually a good practice for clients which make a large number of SSL requests (like a browser). OpenSSL allocates alot of memory per connection for compression/decompression. See http://journal.paul.querna.org/articles/2011/04/05/openssl-m... for a great discussion of why SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION might make sense for you.

Even if you don't have direct access to the library code creating SSL objects, there are still some tricks with ctypes, ffi, dlopen that have the same effect.

There are studies which suggest that people with depression have a more accurate perception of reality than others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressive_realism

So no, depression doesn't lie any more than a healthy brain, it just tells you the truths and lies you don't want to hear.

Of course, I agree with the article that if you are unwell you should seek help. But I had this thought once: the doctor who prescribes you medication optimizes for a different thing than you may want to. Say there are two possibilities (numbers completely made up)

(1) Not taking the medication, which results in a suicide 5% of the time and getting over it on your own and a perfectly happy life in 95%.

(2) Going with the medication and being not suicidal but slightly unhappy for the rest of your life with 100% chance.

Then your doctor's incentives are such that he'll certainly choose (2), but that's not what you might choose if you were aware of the options.

Assembly was always daunting to me. Then I took Computer Systems at the University. It ended up being seriously fun. The way it made me think and try to solve problems were engaging and different it seemed. It required a new way of thinking and made me think about things I never thought about. Although we only wrote smaller programs for the class, I found them fun and I still remember the class nearly 10 years later.

In regards to the original post, I'm not sure I would be putting C with assembly or learn one over or for the other. They both have their uses and reasons for knowing. Forcing yourself to learn one before the other does not seem like a logical way to go. I think it's best to start with what makes the most sense for your end goal and / or you are most interested and motivated to begin and get most deeply into.
Okay, thanks for sharing your experience. =)
Investors expect most of their investments to fail. This is not a shocking situation for them, however disappointing.

Whatever salary you need to live on is fair to pay yourself. Anything under $100k is safe. Under $80k is ideal. It really depends on your cost of living. This is something you really should discuss with investors upfront, especially if you have high requirements.

It's far more painful for you than for them. They're diversified - you're not.

Return as much money as possible (sell any assets you can). Even a token amount will have some meaning.

Shut the company down gracefully. Be nice to your users.

Have a very frank conversation with your investors. Tell them how you feel. Thank them for their support.

The way you handle your failure will largely determine how you and your investor(s) will feel about it going forward. You're not a bad person for failing. Now go succeed this time!

You should take all of the space you previously felt acceptable to provide /tmp and allocate it to swap space. The history and semantics of that folder and how it relates to RAM, especially on systems that could not implement swap space, actually make this make sense: if you upgrade to tmpfs from "periodic deletion of /tmp" and are not increasing the size of your swap partition accordingly, you are doing something wrong.
With a diminishing amount of knowledge you might be right.

The majority of the drugs he took wouldn't have a long term effect on him unless he took them for an extended period of time or took a very high dosage.

The body is quite effective at getting rid of foreign agents.

Most of them are some of the most commonly prescribed drugs by doctors (7+ of them were common anti-anxiety pills, 2 common anti-pyschosis meds, percocet (most prescribed painkiller), adderral, ambien etc). Marijuana, salvia and nicotine gum are mostly harmless. Morphine, nitrous oxide are harmless in small dosages.

Theres a benefit from experimentation with (certain) drugs for expanding the mind as long as its done in total moderation and safely.

The common downside is those brave enough to try them in the first place, are usually brave enough to keep doing them beyond healthy means.
