If was a man I would said:

I agree that in one 'sexist' MINE I was referring about some biological (true or not) facts and other (man related) I was referencing to situational (sleep?day).
And If I say to man:
'Hey someone has its level of testosterone TOO high' there is a great chance he will see that as compliment..
Yep, I use Divvy on a daily basis and really enjoy it. Only thing I wish it had was a memory of the window size before it is re-sized with Divvy. Here's what I mean: In Windows, you can WinKey+RightArrow something to dock it to the right half (totally possible in Divvy), but then WinKey+LeftArrow returns it to its original windowed size. I use that technique a ton on my Windows box, would love to see an OSX window manager with that feature.

Edit: Hmm, looks like SizeUp has this feature with "snapback". Cool.

Red & green is the stereotypical colorblind test, that's a pretty obvious combination to avoid. It's easy to choose colors that are at right angles in the color wheel, and that's not how accessibility works - you can't require every paraplegic to have a special wheelchair that can climb stairs, despite it existing...

You either keep doing what you do and keep watching your ass at the same time or just change your point of view.

"If anything is even a little bit off DONT INVEST."

This is so true. I remember be really pressed hard to invest in some natural gas wells where each well was "owned" by the investors who were paid out fractionally based on the production, the more wells you were in to the more you got paid. Someone I know was getting $3000 - $5000 checks a month from this operation and I was quite curious. But given the scope of things and the kinds of returns they were promising I was amazed that such a deal would even be around by the time people got to me. So I asked for a picture of the gas works. Which was provided but didn't match where they said it was (go go Google Earth!) and once I tracked down where they said things were going on, it was near the edge of the live fire missile range which a) meant you couldn't go out there to take pictures, and b) the US Bureau of Land Management wasn't about to be writing gas leases on land you might get bombed on. Sure enough, a call into the local sheriff left no doubt. No wells, no drilling, anywhere. And he got another data point for his investigation (I wasn't the first person who called). About 9 months later the whole thing vanished. I mean literally everyone in charge just disappeared. Sad really.
One of my deluded friends (who read a little too much Ayn Rand for his own good), used to say that he wishes the government would stop policing what kind of food he can buy in the store. Basically FDA should close its doors, and the better products will inevitably emerge when the free market just does its thing.

I've heard that from other people in US as well. It seems to be a common motif in some circles (even those of educated people).

Usually, I just point out that such "utopian" places, with non-existent regulation exist -- go to any undeveloped country with rampant corruption and thinly taxed government regulatory agencies, and voila -- heaven, effectively no regulation whatsoever. Can go to the market and by dog hamburgers disguised as cow hamburgers. Can buy vegetables that have been sprayed with chemicals that have been illegal in the West for 50 years now. [Now we all know everyone shops with their chemo-bio-radio micro laboratory at hand so they can clearly pick better products, right? Let me stick this hamburger meat in the slot here and see if a picture of a cow blinks or a picture of a cat blinks...]
No problem and good luck! :)
I'm sensing some kind of universal price point for bleeding edge fabrication.

For my 13" Macbook Pro I use two 27" screens and Divvy and hot keys:

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | |
| A | B |
| | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 5 | 6 | 7 | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

I can place a screen in any one of the boxes as above, with a hot-key. A and B are Cmd-Opt-, and Cmd-Opt-. The rest are based on number keys with modifiers. The two 27" screens are 1900x1080, and connected through a DualHead2Go DP edition.
Isn't it great? I gave mine to a friend, but bought another on Amazon a few months ago when I was curious about how well it had aged (aside from the technical details). I thought it held up well.

I also have many fond memories of digging through the CD from the back of the book, looking at the code and demo games, including Marathon (Using Resourcerer to find Jason Jones' easter egg note was fun, too).
I like this explanation. If you were going to write a financial thriller, just what would it take to be believable, and when does it jump the rails? Can the reader believe high level CIA officials were duped? How about a complete lack of interest in oversight bodies? What level of response keeps the tension high and doesn't make it boring?

I wonder if you could a/b test this with two stories and adwords or something. Completely automated story generation starting with basic plot. That would be a cool startup.

You can replace with 'the husband' if you prefer. Wasn't trying to objectify anyone. Maybe is the mental translation from Portuguese to English, but when talking about yourself or something related to yourself, to use 'the wife' or 'a esposa' is quite common. Even (direct translation) using 'the woman'/'a mulher' is inferred to be your own wife in casual conversation.

Money Trees – Rap Genius Response to Heroku
I think it depends on how you "grew up" as a developer. Being "raised" in a Windows(tm) and OSX environment, alt-tabbing is a natural process, where maybe coming from an terminal/xwindows existence you are accustomed to the screen being carved up into squares.

I think it also depends what kind of development you do. Doing iOS dev, I am constantly flipping between XCode, Photoshop, Chrome, Tower, Simulator and a bunch of other tools which don't play well with the idea of being sequestered to individual areas of the monitor. When I do openFrameworks development, I have to add multiple virtual machines to the mix (Windows and Linux while running on OSX) for cross-compiling and testing.

I use two thunderbolt cinema displays and I still constantly run out of screen real estate so tools like these, though I've tried to use them, end up not fitting into how I work.

ymmv.
I have toy compilers for FORTRAN and Logo- perhaps one of those could be a good candidate? One of the main reasons I built this program was to help expose people to Forth, a language that I find very beautiful and powerful. It should say something that I wrote the game itself and its Forth engine in a dialect of Forth, too. If there's something you find beautiful about COBOL, there's no better way to share that than writing something with it. I'm always open to new languages, but for the process to be fun it needs to be a language I enjoy myself. At any rate, when I make other games in this vein I will always try to come up with designs that highlight the power and uniqueness of the languages I use.
What I remember about Marathon isn't only that it was a fun, playable game, but also the story arc and it's level titles' semi-serious references to military history, such as "Waterloo Waterpark" and "My Own Private Thermopylae".

It's nice to hear they're continuing that story arc.

This allows me to prototype, compile, test, build, look up info with minimal window switching. The biggest advantage is never having to hunt for the correct window--everything is one keyboard shortcut away.

I found this organization more interesting than the article. I was curious due to the density of advertising. According to their 2011 audit, the site generated more than $2.6M is advertising revenue that year.

> Website activity income generated on the Organization's website from advertisement placements is a function of website page views and price. The Organization's current partners are education- related firms, real estate and mortgage professionals, consumer companies, and Google. Website activity income is recognized as it is earned and for the year ended December 31, 2011 amounted to $2,671,405. Related website activity expenses are recognized as incurred and consist of expenses allocable against website activity income based on managerial assumptions. Website activity expenses amounted to $873,813 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Maybe on my Macbook Air (and even then, it's almost always Chrome/Sublime side by side, or Sublime/terminal), but there is no application that needs my full 2560x1440 resolution. I can have two columns of my text editor, documentation and a terminal up. But I usually layer my terminal over my text editor and have it "stick to top".

Just another thing I had to "hack" to make work in OS X that works out of the box in all Linux Window Managers.

You cite emails which do not appear to match your claims. You cite technology which does not match your claims.

Also, what specifics do you feel like you invented pertaining to Chrome OS? Just planting the see of a web-centric Linux distro (on a USB stick...)? Or are you claiming all its boot, graphics, security, and OS-level innovations?

Lots of people -- I'm one of them -- find that switching whole windows seems to pop the mental stack.

That's really interesting! I have the opposite problem - switching windows doesn't pop my mental stack, but if there's anything on the screen other than what I'm trying to focus on, it keeps diverting my attention and ruining my concentration. Fullscreen emacs on OSX (without even the system menu bar!) is just awesome for me.

Marginally relevant story:

A few months ago I was trying to get my siblings interested in "doing things with computers". I decided to do this by showing them how powerful a few lines of code could be. I had already tried to get them into programming puzzles [topcoder, etc.] and that didn't go anywhere, and they were being taught boring things[1] like string manipulation at school.

I showed them some html and css tricks [because I'd recently picked up css] and they were strangely unimpressed. While they watched I wrote a quickie chrome extension that moved the Compose button in gmail to a different location. Change facebook chat box size. No reaction. These were bright kids who'd never shown the slightest interest in programming and I was once again despairing that they never might[2]. At a whim I created a rails twitter clone while they watched and fidgeted, and told them to go to http://192.168...:3000/twitter on their computer and post a status message. They did that and it showed up on my computer. Their reaction was astonishing - they simply could not believe how little it took to get that to work!

I don't know exactly why that particular example worked but they were hooked instantly. Now they have written chrome extensions and launched tiny websites and are checking out some new things. :)

My takeaway was to get to the aha moment as soon as possible while trying to get someone interested in something.

[1] boring for someone who hasn't programmed before and doesn't see the point of learning to manipulate strings

[2] not that anything is wrong with not programming but I want them to give it a chance
> Within a single request, Node can async its dealing with outside services (databases, api's, etc), but it is still only processing one request at a time. There is no 'synchronized' keyword in javascript. ;-)

This is as wrong as it can get. Multiple requests are processed "concurrently", in the sense that a request gets served as soon as an existing request awaits on async calls. It is different from thread-based concurrency and thus there is no need for things like "synchronized" keyword.

Oh it definitely was.
This is great, I love tools like this.

I made something very similar: https://github.com/hatboysam/shpm

It's a command line task manager I wrote in Haskell. I use it every day and it has replaced all other task apps I have tried because it's fast and simple. I also like it because it stores all of my tasks in plain text so I can always edit the file over Dropbox when I'm not at my computer but want to add something to the list.
Keep in mind that the work linked in the post is about synchronous reactive programming, which is a very different beast from UI programming (which is still reactive, but much more asynchronous and has not much to do with real time!).
Sorry, I misinterpreted your attack, and it's more worrying than I initially thought. I would add some information about the fix, namely adding the header "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN" [1].

I don't imply anything of the sort.

I'm just saying that you can't blame capitalists or evil CEO's or the government for the state of affairs, which the original article strongly suggests with things like "because it makes for such a purchase-happy public" and "a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence", and in the title, that this has all been "designed".

I'm saying there is no intention, no engineering, no top-down designing, no man behind the curtain -- it's just the way most people choose to act.

There absolutely can be improvement, if people want it, if a large number of them choose to act differently.
yes SAMEORIGIN/DENY is perfect solution. but, damn it, insecure-by-default and any site is frameable by default so far.
I like Pharen, but it also didn't solve my problems. Having worked on very large PHP code bases, I got so frustrated refactoring them. I hope this will make PHP code bases easier to manage. I have even already developed a PHP lib with it [1] and was surprised at the productivity.

Hi guesty, I apologize I didn't remember the subject line of an email I sent 6 years ago.

If you are a member of Google, you can almost certainly track down a copy and run the actual operating system.

I had correspondence with hundreds of Google engineers at that time. Obviously if I had access to my email record, I could provide the contact details of all of those engineers, but that was all turned over to Google when I left the company.
Based on bsims comments about "extensive military/government background" and the guy being an investor, I would say this person is likely Admiral Inman, Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from 1981-1982, managing director of VC firms since 1990. He left the CIA the same year that the TCP/IP suite was standardized, hardly a point in history when the internet was a major source of intelligence, unless you were spying on DOD researchers.

Being a former Deputy Director means almost nothing about knowledge of current CIA practices and modern methods for intelligence collection.
