Really good job on this. One feature that you might want to think about is adding support for timezones. I live in Europe so I have to re-calculate all times in my head. It would be nice to have an option to set a specific timezone.

> It's actually a very Euro-centric and arguably racist model of the world to believe that only whites have agency and that everything hinges on what whites did or did not do.

Feel free to read into my words whatever you want but don't make it sound like that is what I wrote it makes any kind of discussion impossible.

The world is a lot more complex and involved than you make it seem, the west does have a debt and I highly doubt it even can be repaid, especially because we're still raping and plundering the African continent as we speak.

That dead white guy you're referring to was actually on to something, he just missed on important little detail: the amount of greed and the willingness to commit crimes that is present in the people that he thought would be happy to make the world work in a better way. The fault lies not with Marx but mostly with those that co-opted his ideas in name only to use as a fig leaf to further rob the general population. Note how every communist country was very keen to adopt the stance that they were owned by 'the people'.

Sure China is happy to sell us chips (and Korea as well) but the only reason that trick still works is because of environmental impact denial and low wages make it competitive to do so. That won't last for ever.

China is economically powerful, but morally bankrupt in many ways. India has similar problems, Africa is going from bad to worse reducing its un-replenishable stock of precious resources at bargain basement prices in deals that benefit no locals other than a very select few. With the loot safely stashed in Swiss bank accounts.

Whatever happened in the dark ages is none of my concern, right now a great many fortunes can still be traced directly back to crimes in the past or crimes ongoing today. And that is a debt that is on the books, not lost in the mist of times.

I completely agree that China and India are where the next huge improvements will probably be made. One of the reason the WIPO is so strong in favor of nailing down IP rights globally is to make sure that the west will get its cut, even if it doesn't actually produce anything anymore. Just another chapter in that book.
I'd second the 1st, 3rd and 4th of these. Peopleware is awesome - obviously - and The Happiness Hypothesis has had plenty of press.

However, don't underestimate Yes Man. It's by a comedian, but it's still a very powerful and interesting read.
Sounds like a modern adaptation of Napolean Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. Everything is a product of a burning desire. When you having a burning desire for something, you find a way to make it happen. You....Do whatever it Takes.

The West still owes, not owed the third world an incredible amount. And that's because we still have the books from those days, the stock of some of those companies is still being traded today, there are still vast fortunes that trace their origins directly back to those crimes.

The same does not hold for the Scandinavians and French farmers.

My position is mostly based on bookkeeping.

Lack of 'www.' at the start, I guess. I didn't see it the last time around though, so I'm happy it didn't get flagged.

Good idea, I will add It soon.

The dead white guy was responsible for 100 million people dead, most of them non-European. If you want to feel guilty for something, feel guilty for denying that. His great idea was to abolish private property, such that you didn't own the very toothbrush in your hand, the clothes on your back, the house you built with your own hands - or your farm.

Why is it that rejecting the ideas of Marx led China (and Vietnam, and Singapore, and Taiwan) to unprecedented wealth? Why is Chile rich and Cuba poor? Why is North Korea dark while South Korea is alight? Why was Eastern Europe impoverished while Western Europe was wealthy? Why was the Comintern established, why did the Soviet Union foment revolution all around the world, why did Pol Pot stack up a million skulls?

And, most importantly, what exactly "colonized" Eastern Europe and China and North Korea within the span of 10 years to drive them so far behind Western Europe, Taiwan, and South Korea respectively?

It's all Marx. Every time. You want to atone for something, atone for that. That is your sin: converting millions of indigenous people to an alien, white, Western ideology that promised heaven and yielded hell.
I find it fascinating that people claim some computer coding is "human readable" and some is not. Pencil marks on a piece of dead tree are often "human readable". Bits on a hard drive (or on a FLASH drive or in DRAM or ...) are not.

Bits on a some kind of modern electronic storage device require a program (software) to interpret them.

When people say something is not "human readable" they mean not human readable by their favorite text editor, etc. Nothing would prevent a different program from making the binary blob "human readable".

So I claim that, unless we use e.g. Williams-Kilburn tube memory, which stored bits on the screen of the CRT http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/memory-storage/8/3... which were, in fact, "human readable", I believe it does us all a disservice to say that just because your program does not interpret the binary blob the way you like implies that somehow the binary blob itself is deficient!
I would not call this a "best practice", but simply an alternative.

Progressively loading photos in that manner is not a good user experience either. The first paint is often quite jarring, especially, as pointed out in the article, over 90% of photos simply don't load this way.

For content such as photos that are contained within some sort of layout, it would be better to have a placeholder there that is the same frame as the final image size, then have the final image appear upon completion.
I think that this is the most impressive fact so far. Being successful on your own as well as maintaining a good work/life balance (especially with a family) is an incredible feat. Way to go.

>>us Humans are a vicious bunch" is merely a statement, not a valid excuse.

If I understand your position:

1. Occupation, slavery and aggression were parts of most/many historic societies.

2. Just because a behaviour is universal among human societies at the time doesn't stop you from judging a subset of the societies that committed them. (I seldom see condemnation of Arab slavery for sexual purposes etc.)

3. As a bit of extra humour -- the societies you condemn are the ones that did most for finally lifting the standard for human behaviour and implementing real rule of law!

(I might add that some societies would, given the opportunities, probably still act in similar ways. No condemnation from you, of course...)

My impression of that page was not very good TBH. The words are kind, but for me at least, the message boiled down to:

"We're down."
"It isn't our fault."
"We'll be back up when someone else gets it fixed."

You must be at least _thinking_ about how to avoid/limit this impact in the future. Why not give the user more information along these lines, and thereby position yourself as an active participant in the process at the same time? Polite helplessness is probably not what you want to project as a business, but that is what I took away from it.

1. Real world is hard, mean and tough. But it has a lot of good in it as well. You will get hit but keep moving forward.

2. If you were popular in college (if you were), it is going to be different in the outside world. You are just a number and no one gives a shit until you become someone worth noticing. So keep expectations low.

2. What you did in Computer Science at school/college is going to be way different in the corporate world once you get a job. It will be a lot more than just programming or theory.

3. You will have to deal with things called "people", "co-workers", "users" which come in many different forms. Some will be nice to you, some will be mean to you and some just won't care less. Don't take it personally. It is all professional. You will probably not make as good friends as college/school anymore but be nice and friendly as much as you can.

3.1. If you have a problem with someone (at work), go talk to them in person. Not on phone, not over email.

3.2. Use email at work with caution. If an issue needs to be discussed and a resolution is pending, do not use email to resolve. talk in person. If in person is not possible, then phone is the next option. Use email to communicate decisions or things that don't need resolution.

4. Always look for mentors or people you can look up to or learn from. This really matters and will help you in the long run. Learn from the best if you can. Watch their body language, how they communicate and what works. Don't wait for someone to come and teach you things or change your world. Ain't happening. You need to take the initiative.

4.1. Technical skills are good but always look to work on communication skills, negotiation skills and ability to influence others in a positive way.

5. Never take a job/company too seriously. There is no such thing as loyalty. If a company doesn't need u, they will kick you out. Period. So you need to be the same. Always look for your best interests. Having said that, give your best/100% when at a company. Don't slack off. People always know and notice. They may not say on your face but you will be respected.

6. If you think you know too much and the other guy is stupid, think again. The more experience you get, the more you will realize how less you know. Keep yourself grounded.

7. Be positive and optimistic. Associate with people who are better than you and whom you want to be like. Don't be friends with naysayers. It really matters.

I wonder how much money this sort of non-article article brings in, and I wonder at how soon before we're using bayesian techniques to generate these sorts of stories from non-actual-authors. Automaton authors serving page views to automaton viewers clicking on ads they will never read.

The advertisers know they are getting fleeced, see the story about the Facebook hordes. I wonder when that particularly sorry pigeon will come to roost.
To be fair - many people who write this kind of post are - shall we say - a little detached from reality. I'm thinking of the yet-another-lifestyle-design-blog set, with their badly designed and poorly written ebooks, explaining how to 'live the dream' by writing an ebook and selling it to other, aspiring, lifestyle-designers.

Hence I felt I should point out that I liked this post because it's nothing like the ones I just mentioned :)
FCC Broadband Test May Enable Warrantless Snooping, Coalition Warns
It depends on what your family of three would need (i.e., if you're a couple with a young baby, one room would probably suffice; if you're a parent with two teenagers, you might need two or three bedrooms).

When I last polled our students, they were spending $800-1,200/month individually. Some people have been able to go below that ($600 is the cheapest I've heard) and some have opted to spend more.

Assuming you need a two bedroom place, my guess is you could get a reasonable one that's transit accessible and in safe part of Brooklyn or Queens for 1.5-2x the above. For example, here's a Craigslist post for a 2-bedroom apartment for $1200 (http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/sub/3504867065.html) and another for $1600 (http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/sub/3509197277.html)

I hope this helps!
I have a high deductible plan for $280/month. I live in an inexpensive area (Boise, Idaho) and my wife and I are both young (22) so it is cheap. We also keep at least $5k in a medical savings account.
Why are you using that theme? It's shitty to use someone else's design without their permission. (on the off chance that you've never heard of the Svbtle network (https://svbtle.com) it is a design that was created for an invite only network of bloggers, it's meant to establish a brand)

Regardless of wether you think svbtle is a bunch of elitist wankers, there is no valid reason for appropriating their style. Furthermore, regardless of ethics, it is a distraction from your words. To the extent that the svbtle brand is built up, your choice in theme becomes more and more a statement instead of presentation. "Does the author dislike the svbtle network and is trying to drive them into obscurity, or does this person really like the network and wants to be associated with them even without permission"

Then it would still be even faster in total if you do the same thing with progressively encoded images.
I'm nitpicking, but

When images arrive, they come tripping onto the page, pushing other elements around and triggering a clumsy repaint.

This is easily avoided by defining the image dimensions in your stylesheet.

When, in your opinion, was the golden age of human history?

The reason I ask is that something like 80% of the world today has mobile phones. Or, as another example, this source says about one in seven people don't have clean water:
http://water.org/water-crisis/one-billion-affected

So that means ~85.7% of people do have access to clean water. Do you think that fraction has ever been higher in human history?

Disparate impact is certainly a component of systematic bias. It may be true that a white American with a prestigious college degree has advantages in life compared to an Asian American with a prestigious college degree. But the fact that a far higher proportion of Asian Americans receive prestigious college degrees in the first place points to biases earlier in the educational system (Asians are 8x more likely than non-Jewish whites to attend Harvard, for example, compared to their proportion in the population).
Scala puts too much pressure on the GC to be a good candidate for Android development and the complexity of its syntax makes developing good tool support very difficult.

Since they've designed it with tool support in mind from the beginning I expect Kotlin to seriously outstrip the other JVM languages in IDE integration.

Wikipedia: "Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as an informal fallacy,[2][3][4] more precisely an irrelevance."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Yep, you're right about that, too. It's really not a falacy. It's a fallacy. And also Nietzsche, not Neitszche. And devastating, not devastaing.

As to devastating ad hominems: I'd suggest they might become a trifle more devastating if you start with elementary spelling, work your way up via basic grammar ("its" vs "it's") and simple word semantics such as "quote" and "plagiarism" all the way to reading comprehension before attempting to tackle economics and philosophy.

Just sayin'
