See how juniors get raises, while seniors get flat-lined? That's the downward pressure of H1Bs as well as evidence of buyers' (hiring managers) actual purchasing behavior markedly different from "we can't find anyone who can do basic fizz buzz! we need people with skillz!".
Anti-psychotic medication isn't like taking Tylenol. It can completely change a person's personality, and people have likened it to living in a fog.
This is often discussed among homeless advocates, because such a large percentage of homeless have mental illnesses of various kinds.

I do think reform had quite a bit arguing for it: old-style "insane asylums" were really not nice places, and involuntary commitment was used fairly widely, at times even producing involuntary surgeries (like the notorious period in which involuntary lobotomies were performed), which I think are serious problems for civil liberties and easily abused. But the problem is that we just closed the asylums and didn't replace them with much of anything at all, in most states not even voluntary facilities that people can check themselves in to.

There's a significant difference between the casual DSM-reader's "everyone's got a diagnosis" and problems that lead to significant dysfunction. Even if you're only looking at the "entry level", there is a difference not only in magnitude but in kind between having the blues, or even having life-altering acute sadness, and being what a clinician would call depressed. Similarly, there's a huge difference between, say, believing in the lamed vavniks (that there are, at all times, 36 truly righteous people roaming the planet doing good — the idea being that you might be one of them, and breaking with that nature could have some nasty consequences in the hereafter) and believing that Murray next door is really the archangel Gabriel in human form. Or wondering if that cute barista is flirting with you and interpreting the name written on your cup as a love letter. We may all be a little fucked up, but only a little.
I currently pay $20/hour (in SF proper) for an independent cleaner who does an excellent job. Language barrier is a major issue tho, and I'd much rather schedule cleanings online. If minimum wage is <$10, why would it be impossible to profit off charging $20/hr?
20 years ago, I had a professor who would ask lots of questions in class. I _still_ remember that Lindsey's designated answer was "Static Electric Charge". I'm not in the field anymore, but I still remember a bunch about that class, and I count the professor as one of my two or three best.

I only wish that I had a linalg professor who was that good.
I'm not sure how much of this is actually due to voter apathy. Whilst I agree with promoting civic engagement it may not directly address this issue.

The reason the country is becoming more partisan is more likely due to the benefits of incumbency, and the insane level of gerrymandering we allow.

It's 2012 - no one in the world should go homeless, unclothed, or hungry. It's inhumane.

But I don't think that's what this article was about.
Seems a bit embarrassing for Google (and before them Bing) to have to offer this. "Our giant well-funded teams of professionals can't tell the difference between organic links and those maliciously crafted to sabotage you, so it's up to you, individual webmasters with far fewer resources and visibility into the link graph, to fix this for us."

(Update: reading the official announcement and viewing the Cutts video, seems there's also a strong aspect of "pleading for amnesty" provided by this tool, for erasing past sleazy link-building efforts. Together with the repeated admonitions "most people shouldn't use this power user tool", it almost seems like a trick: like when the police publish that people with outstanding warrants have won a sweepstakes.)
Does Biology Make us Liars?
I would assume that this tool will serve as a new source of sites for Google's manual review team to take a look at.

It's odd they launched this though, as it's directly acknowledging 1) that "bad links" can hurt your rankings and 2) that the algorithm is not doing a good enough job/keeping up well enough.
True, Matlab has its limitations, but those are partly unavoidable. If you want to build a large object oriented program, you often use something more heavyweight anyway.
But that heavyweight language (or framework) is usually not so quick to build something in anymore, because your heavyweight structures are just in the way in the earlier phase.

I tried Python and Numpy, and the vectors, matrices and all that felt just tacked on and the syntax was much more complex compared to Matlab. Maybe it's changed since. Also in Scilab the type conversions and function overhead are a nuisance. Every time you edit a script or function, you have to specifically reload it before running it. Makes rapid prototyping about three fold as time consuming. Would it be hard to make the software notice I actually edited something?

Many people actually want to solve problems, and they just end up creating a program as a side product. They do not set out to study libraries and do not want to actually write any code that is not directly related to the problem they are solving.

It's why Matlab is able to charge the price. It sometimes saves time. Some of the users are not primarily software developers but are quite educated and intelligent and their salary is not small.
Tragedy yes, though I do believe that if it was caught earlier and appropriate help was provided while the child was younger. The tragic outcome may have been avoided. There are a lot of people who live with Schizophrenia and live 'relatively' productive lives. I believe he could have been one too.
We have looked at password-protecting it in the past, but it is useful for debugging and unless we SSL it the act of password-protecting with a simple basic auth would actually be more troubling than simply not because people get lazy with their passwords.

We never saw a concrete security reason for locking it down. If you are worried about people seeing your IP as you browse, then you need to take other steps because your IP is spread across web server log files all over the Internet and you have no control over who has access to those. I'd suggest using Tor if you find this worrying.
http://hipchat.com is pretty quick to set up - it has web, desktop, and mobile clients - they also seem to have experimental support for XMPP/Jabber (http://blog.hipchat.com/2011/04/25/experimental-support-for-...), which would let you use Adium to connect.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disease that can absolutely be treated with a comprehensive treatment plan, including medication and psychosocial interventions (including an IEP).

I didn't think the author was stating that his son wouldn't have schizophrenia if the schools had done better. I think he was saying that his son would have a better outcome with his chronic severe mental illness if various government agencies and actors were better organizing to identify and treat the illness.

Perhaps it's fair to say that Tim is where he is today because of his mental illness and a host of public policy decisions we've made in this country around how we treat mental illness.
Here is the simple criteria I am using:
1. Must use gtalk
2. Must have persistant history for at least 48 hours (searchable is a bonus)
3. Must be accessible from adium or other chat clients
4. Must be private for our org.

So far I have identified, Jaconda, hipchat and campfire (although I think it is out due to the lake of gtalk integration)

It would be fun to see what people who work at facebook are consulting the docs for.

Interestingly enough, php.net is using mod_ssl, but their ssl session cache isn't configured, and they are running a pre-1.0 version.

apache.org however is using openssl 1.0 and they have ssl session caching working. Clearly they know how to configure their apache servers ; ).
I use rimuhosting - pretty reasonable service for a decent price.

I had performance issues with my last host that resolved completely when jumping to rimuhosting.

I've got two main apps hosted there (one large, one small), with a number of other random sites that don't do much.

It's costing me about $US40 a month for hosting, which is a reasonable chunk of cash to put down for a hobby/side project every month, but once this amount is offset against ad income it's not really a problem.

I guess they can make it easier. But,

- The procedure you wrote is not that hard for a developer who wants to build the whole thing.

- Dart has much much more stuff than typescript. (vm, browser, editor etc)

It saves money on a small scale because no one's trying to defraud it yet.
I was looking at hipchat and I do have some past experience with it. Thanks for the comment
I've long been a SimCity fan, but every edition of the game has suffered from performance problems. It's fine when your city is small, but once it gets large enough to be interesting, it's unbearably slow. I've learned that the real minimum requirements on these games are a computer released 2-3 years after the game is.

Given the amount of marketing around the new game's excessive simulation of unimportant details, I expect it to be at least as bad as its predecessors.

I feel similarly. I studied art in school-my degree is in fine art, with an area of focus on design. I spent a lot of time after I graduated working as a frustrated designer. My clients were happy, but nothing was ever "good enough" in the feels really satisfying sense.

Then I shifted my focus to development and I get a lot more satisfaction out of it. I find that it suits my particular brand of creativity and attention to technical details. I love the problem solving, and conjuring up working software out of nothing.

I still do some design work, and I still enjoy it, but I do it on my own terms, or I do things like interfaces - again, more technical in nature.

I quite like doing the occasional pencil or marker drawing, because it's good stress relief.

But it's programming that really satisfies my need to create.

> I miss the days when we could simply install a game.

When was that? A decade ago my games required me to put the CD in the drive to play. And two decades ago my games required me to find random words in the user manual to make sure I wasn't a pirate.

I hate the game needing me to stay online. And it's a stupid strategy to hurt legitimate users to try to stop pirates. But to be honest, that's much less bad than what came before it :P
Depending on the monthly cost of outsourcing I have thought about running a jabber server. Can you setup your jabber server to pass through authentication over to gtalk?
1) Every piece of code on that box is open source. Security-through-obscurity hoping people won't find your admin pages is senseless.

2) There are far more effective ways of tracking users' browsing history than trying to scrape extremely ephemeral data like what you can find on the Apache status page. As someone mentioned, even the Apache project themselves leave this open.
Overall the site looks good (I've bookmarked it for possible personal use). That said, your use of the word "term" when actually planning a meeting (i.e. "choose possible terms for meeting") threw me a bit. You may be better served just switching "term" to "time" in most instances.
good thought.. thanks for the comment

"mostly do a remarkably poor job in those important tasks anyway"

US immigration is completely broken.

I went to college and graduated in the US on a J1 visa, I paid my fees and when I worked I paid my federal, state taxes + my social security contributions. After graduation I left the US as obviously it makes sense to take my money, teach me skills and then tell me to leave?

Why are graduates not being allowed to stay ?

I want to move to the US, pay taxes and generally be a good citizen.

My main two options are:

- Marry an american girl (not as simple as it sounds, takes a long time)
- H1B which has a route to citizenship over 10 years

Sadly as this article shows H1B is being abused and with the cap being filled quickly every year its very hard to get one.

What happened to the country built on immigration?
Agreed - I cannot find any fault in any of your arguments. My brother in law has schizophrenia and takes anti-psychotics. He sleeps all the time, finds it hard to concentrate and lives in a permanent fog.

He needs these medications. But it has definitely changed him.

> Just wanted to clarify something about YouTube: ads do not run before, during, or after if you don't allow them. Ads will only run if a video is "monetized," which is a setting that the uploader controls.

Not entirely true; by uploading to YouTube, you run the risk of a content provider claiming that your video contains their content, which will allow them to run ads on your video involuntarily. If your promotional video includes music (even if you have a license to that music), this seems quite likely.
I haven't had the experience that HTML is harder to maintain if you use classes more liberally. What this approaches forces you to do is: write or edit CSS every time you want a new combination of existing traits...which isn't ideal either.

The post also suggests that certain class names are "unsemantic", when they obviously aren't. They just have different meaning to the sorts of class names the author is advocating.

It's also not going to let you reload an earlier savegame - your city is in a persistent world, even if you want to play in a private region without other people.

I'm skipping this one; I'd rather feel I was missing out on a good game than become bitter trying to actually play it the way I want.
I was a little unclear. What I meant is that the instrumentation record (thermometers and satelites) is quite short (geologically speaking) vs. the proxy record (ice cores, tree rings, etc).

And maybe I can make another clarification. I accept that there is a warming trend visible in the geological record. I don't think that trend is the source of the 'debate' with regarding to catastrophic global warming.

The debate arises when climate modelers predict a catastrophic rise in temperatures that is a distinctly different signal layered on top of the accepted climactic trend and which is triggered by human activities. This comes not from direct increases in CO2 but via postulated positive feedbacks in the system triggered by increases in CO2 or other greenhouse gases.

A 17-year pause in the background climactic trend (i.e. what the planet would be doing without human activities) is not at all surprising nor does it conflict with long term climactic trends.

A 17-year pause in the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming predicted by the models is a completely different story. When that is coupled to the continuing increase in CO2 concentrations you now have a way to evaluate the magnitude of the postulated CO2 feedback. The pause, despite the increased C02 would seem to indicate that the models have overestimated the positive feedback.

Without the positive feedback the dire consequences predicted by the models is much less likely and so the massively expensive and disruptive policy choices are that much harder to justify -- especially in the short-term.

TL;DR A 17 year pause in warming is a strong indication that anthropogenic climate models are woefully incomplete and shouldn't be the basis for massive policy disruptions in the energy sector.
It is not a lie that many people who are against wind energy claim to be environmentalists afraid of bird mortality.

It doesn't take much looking to prove that they aren't in fact that. But few people look, and so it's a great cover for both NIMBYs and entrenched interests.

> There may be no absolute "normal", but there are most certainly people who live in a sad, terrible, frightening state of mental disturbance with no simple treatment.

Agreed. There's a vast gulf between someone who is quirky on Tumblr and someone with a mental illness. It's simply not the same, not even close.
That is to get a development environment setup to build and contribute to the project. What are you trying to do?

This will get you the source:

One of the best metrics is the log of slow queries. We set our threshold at 250 milliseconds, and we investigate queries that take longer. Sometimes, we'll see INSERT or COMMIT statements show up, which is usually an indication that our write performance isn't what it needs to be. We generate graphs from these logs (using graphite) and track them over time. We also use Munin (including the PostgreSQL plugins) to monitor disk IO and various PostgreSQL stats.

On the other hand, you have to ask whether the cost of trying to make sure not a single dollar is given to the undeserving outweighs both the monetary savings and benefits to society overall. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I envision this to be a lot like crime. You'll never get rid of it completely, so you put into place some (ostensibly) cost-effective measures to mitigate the worst of it.
You have to ssh into my machine and fix a configuration file. The only editors on the machine are ed, ex, and vi/vim. You're dead int he water and useless to me. learn the 22 vi keystrokes. It won't kill you. It will make you stronger.

Editors that make me take may hands off the keyboard in order to click around in the gui to move around my files are productivity killers.
We do know that young people whose family history suggests genetic risk for major mental illness (which might not be known for a particular adopted child) are playing with fire if they take schedule I drugs without medical supervision.

That marijuana is classified as a "schedule I drug" is, itself, obscene and a result of politics, not science.

Therefore, the rest of your suggestion regarding them "playing with fire" does not apply in this instance.
"We do know that young people whose family history suggests genetic risk for major mental illness (which might not be known for a particular adopted child) are playing with fire if they take schedule I drugs without medical supervision."

Considering that "Schedule I" is nothing more than a legal classification, I would like to see how that works. Does it just so happen that drugs in that legal classification coincide with drugs that people at risk of mental illness should not take? That seems like quite a coincidence, if true. If he were self-medicating with tobacco or caffeine, would you express similar concern?
Project Etiquettes
No, it's worse; in 5 or 10 years, you may no longer be able to play these games. With CDs / manuals, it's not a problem.

I'm currently playing (or rather, trying to play) Assassin's Creed. It's a series I never got into, so I bought the first two on Steam. Guess what? The servers at Ubisoft have been turned off. This leads to multi-second pauses every 60 seconds, and after various game events - http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=33046... . At least the game still sort-of works, but if they "improve" the DRM any further, they'll be completely broken in the future.
That's not how you get the source, that's how you prepare for building the whole project, including the VM, compiler, etc. If you just want the source code, just

svn checkout http://dart.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

That isn't terribly easy to find, though, it's true (you either have to have used google code before and know it's on the "checkout source" page or dig through those "get and build" instructions for just the "get" part).

The rest is just dependencies (and daunting at first, but pretty simple after you do any chromium work). You have to deal with the same thing if you check out Firefox and you want to build it (gclient here becomes bootstrap.py there).
Or just buying a cheaper bike on the assumption that you'll need to get a new one sooner or later?

Then you don't like the world "illness" in general. The same holds for physiological health: none is completly bacteria-free, has perfect levels of vitamins, etc.
However, we need to operate in our judgements with ideals (healthy; sane; circle and all other mathematical entities, etc.): reaching for them, although never succeeding; that's perfectly okay.

Oh, and we do have some quite good (attempts at) theories of what "sanity" is all about.
