How to Transition From Google Reader to Feedly
I use a very simple version of function point analysis. Write down all the different things you know you need to do, beside each one write easy, medium or hard. easy takes 0.5 to 1 day, medium 2-3 days, hard 3-5 days. If you think any bits are very hard then break it down - if you can't then you've found something you don't know - and you have to focus on that - this is a risk and flag it as such.

If it's a big project then chop it up into deliverables, so you can monitor your estimates along the way.

..there's a lot more but something to get you started.

(if you have to deliver on your estimate - double it :-). When you double your estimate - make sure you don't work to your doubled estimates - otherwise you'll have to double it again :-) )
well then, it should be a simple matter to WalMart them out of business.

Thanks for doing the test! And for explaining a bit about how you use email, that's helpful.

We won't do any of those things, actually. Our inbox/app is structured much differently and your own natural behavior informs the algorithm (no manual teaching/rules required).

Everything is controllable if you want to control it, but it's the other side that's interesting: if you want to be lazy and let things pile up, Remark will do the housekeeping and make sure you don't miss anything.

Your labels will be safe, and we will never delete anything automatically.
Are mobi/epub versions available yet? From what I could tell, it's only the PDF version?
I wonder if bit by bit ending secondary products like this doesn't separate Google from its customers. Part of my reason for not using search services like Bing is that I'm tied to Google by their secondary products such as Reader. The end of Reader will loosen Google's hold on me. As will the end of iGoogle.

Mocha's docs are pretty awful, actually. If you don't know how to use it when you start, the docs are not going to help, much. They're mostly buzzwords and examples that show (in limited cases) "what", but not "why", and give you no purchase for answering questions about how to structure things.
Intel's compiler generates code that runs twice as fast. Speed should really have been in the list.

On that note, the whole list looks like it was written from the point of view of gcc. Features on other compilers that vary from gcc are given 'partial' credit, since I guess they do it differently and different is bad. And extensions in other compilers are not mentioned at all.

It looks like the 'shootout' was done by standing in gcc's corner and taking pot-shots at everybody else in the room.

libstdc++ != libc++

libstdc++ is gcc's C++ stdlib; libc++ is clang's (although clang can used libstdc++). libc++ supports all of C++11, although there's still some bugs. libc++ is ABI incompatible with libstdc++, but it's explicitly designed to support using both libstdc++ and libc++ within the same program, so that's often not a program.

Right, I'm in the same boat. I hope Silvio updates Reeder for iPad and OS X to add Fever support.

After so many web services that I depended on have been shut down, I like the idea of hosting Fever myself. Getting to own your own data, no ads, less privacy concerns.

Please someone. Just listen. All my email problems will be solved if you just make a plugin for Thunderbird that groups all emails (recieved and sent) according to who they're from and to. If I had cancer and the make-a-wish foundation asked me what I wanted, that's what I would ask for. That exact thunderbird plugin.

To be more exact, You know how message boards work? There's a forum which contains threads and those threads contain replies to the thread. Everytime there's a new reply in one of the threads, that thread gets bumped up to the top of that forum. Imagine that every contact you email or or every contact that emails you, is a thread, and all your emails are replies in that thread. That way everything's grouped under some kind of contact. And previous conversations are easy to find.

If there's any justice in this world, I will get my plugin one day. (That and Sony Pictures must finally release the full soundtrack to Resident Evil 2002)
Decrease in American productivity, no matter how small. Might do major damage if they get lucky.
I find we're really bad at defining goals. Let's play a short question game. You win if you read through these questions and you say "Nah, got this covered" without feeling guilty. What are you working for? To better society? To make an impact? Sure. That's a little vague though, isn't it?

Ok, maybe it's to better society. Define better (Well, uhmm...better, you know?") and define society (Uhmm...the country? Ohh wait, the world? Maybe those kids in africa?). You kinda see where I'm going with "this is way vague for a life purpose"?

Ok, let's take the impact example. Which impact? Do you want to be remembered? Just remembered, or positively remembered? Or do you want to make a lasting change on the face of earth? How long should it last? How visible should it be? Or do you want to change somebody? How do you want to change them? What will you do to change them?

The gist is definition.

A lot of "career planning" is an improperly defined goal for an even larger time period than the usual resolutions we make. Stop smoking, lose weight, work out more. How often do you keep your new years resolutions? Proably not that often. So why are you entrusting your life purpose to the same kind of expectation making that you do for your new years resolution, to some goal with quicksand consistency?

You know the feeling you get in mid february that you didn't keep up with your resolutions, right? You feel guilty because you've wasted another year and still haven't gotten these things done. Lack of willpower, right?
Ok, imagine you're 35, look at your life resolution, realize that you haven't lost weight nor changed the world, and you feel guilty. Really guilty. Because your former me is ashamed of what you've done. And it's not just a new years resolution, it's your life goal you haven't gotten done.

Ok, fair enough. Figure out what exactly you are trying to do till when, preferably with why you want to do these things. Name - date - reason. You can't worry about the pointlessness of something if you got the point on a paper in front of you, 12pt Times New Roman. Then factor that into object(ive)s and method(ology)s, so you can whip up the source of your life one task after another. You'll get there.

I'm guessing the downvotes are for the snideness of your remark. A more respectable way to phrase your question would've been to simply ask how this framework compares to some of the other well known Node frameworks and why might I look into Sails to solve a specific problem instead of some of the others that are available.

Smooth transition of my information. However, I find using it a bit atrocious in terms of trying to figure out what all those little custom icons mean. Sadly, I don't see myself getting used to it any time soon.
All those practices are good (tdd, code review, etc) if people know what they're doing

Otherwise:

Sometimes code review will turn into a pissing match of who can find the most errors in other people's code

TDD will turn into a quest for a higher "coverage number" regardless of the actual testing quality
I like what I see there, thanks.
This should be a non-issue for git since you can just pull from the other members of your team, but in reality few people are setup to allow others to do this.
You manage them in your Google Account under Security, Connected applications and sites
It's very difficult to perform a fair test.

If I test random programmers by getting them to do the same project either with TDD or without, TDD proponents might (justifiably) complain that the programmers didn't do TDD properly, since they didn't know how.

If I use TDD proponents to do the TDD side of the test, and TDD skeptics the non-TDD side, then one might claim that there is a bias in the quality of programmer (either people who like TDD make better programmers, or TDD skeptics make better programmers, depending on the results).

For every test you come up with, there's a potential bias that you cannot eliminate, since there will be some hypothetical correlation somewhere that doesn't correspond to TDD itself.

I think it's basically true that unless you're selling contraband or digital goods, it's unlikely that you'll get screwed, because like any other transaction you must necessarily collect a shipping address and other personally identifiable information in order to complete the transaction.

While disposable shipping addresses (like other bogus contact details) are not unobtainable, it's usually risky because the address does tend to belong to someone, and I think it's true as well that most people are not scammers.
I don't. I doubt iCloud is reliable and fast enough, it doesn't work with non-Apple devices, and exporting your data would be problematic.

Another thing to take into account is who's coding, what they're coding in, what they're building, how big their team is, how mature the team is (i.e. how long have they been working together) and how their environment's set up.
As with most questions, context is everything, so should anyone experiment to find the best solution you'd want them to include those details in their conclusions, and ideally to alter and test against each of those variables and show the effects of BDD/TDD under those conditions.
You're right! But most articles have photos, so do blogs, so do twitter profiles. 99% White.

That would have taken a lot of money (to buy stock), and expose us to a lot more risk. Investors were backing us for the disintermediation.

I quite strongly believe that someone with an understanding of tech, the ability to build something, and take a position on stock, could make a lot of money in this market.
I would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall to hear your sales pitch. I don't know the market well enough to know whether they truly would sieze the opportunity to make more profits or not. Anyhow, sorry it didn't work out for you and good luck in your next venture, whatever that may be.
The statement about wine buying being part of the fun is the crux of the issue. I'm not into wine but I am into whiskey, and rather than buy from an online merchant, I much prefer walking into the local shop and getting a recommendation. That process is extremely enjoyable, and one I happily pay a bit more for. Same with craft beers. There are some really great high end sites that cater to luxury goods which are great examples of providing this experience online, but they require a lot of time and design experience, and are about as far from a marketplace as possible, conceptually.
In the footer of the site (the FAQ type text) we explain a bit, but all we do is count things from your inbox. The actual content of messages or attachments is never downloaded (just the headers and such), and we only have read-only access for a short period of time.

Why do you think people resorted back to phone orders, etc? Did you have some type of recommendation component for users?

For example, when someone places a phone order (especially for wine), they may ask the associates preference or suggestions. It would be awesome if you had a program that took drinkers preferences into consideration and then suggested maybe 3-5 wines.
It'd be great if you would write a blog post with more details about the TDD vs non-TDD projects. Things like:

Duration of observation
team size (over time)
survey of team members
anyone go from one team to another? Someone with perspective across both teams would be good.
Domain complexity of each project
Other code metrics (cyclomatic complexity, coupling, etc)

A post would be nice as a reference (as opposed to a comment here).

Not a small request, I understand, but I'm sure others would find it very valuable too.

CERN: New results indicate that new particle is a Higgs boson
A physicist friend of mine said, half jokingly, that with that much money poured into the project they had no other option but to find that damn boson.
The physics involved is fascinating, although a true appreciation of what a Higgs Boson is would take years (i.e. most of a PhD).

The organisation of such a vast data-processing task has surely brought about many discoveries in "big-data" and parallel computing that are not directly related to the discoveries in physics. Much like the research into the magnets that power the accelerator has led to new MRI machines. To people who don't see the point in "science for science's sake", this is a massive spin-off of CERN that will hopefully greatly benefit the world.

One of my favorite stories told by our software consultants (the people we send to client sites to train how to use our software effectively):

One day he went to a customer's site to train them on the new version of our software, and met with one of the bookkeepers of the company. He showed her a report that we recently added a column to as part of a feature request from our clients, and she started crying. He was asking her what was wrong, worried that we did something terrible. She replied: "You just saved me 3 hours a day. Now I can go home when my kids are home from school instead of after supper".

Just because we're not saving babies doesn't mean we're not making people's lives better.
In an OO-world function extraction usually results in private methods to a class. You (generally) don't test those directly so it doesn't necessarily result in more specific unit tests.
The real problem is forget what actually makes them happy can have little to do with what society says should make them happy. I feel more joy thinking about my job as useful destructive chaos than any sort of direct betterment to society. Consider, people actually making atomic bombs often had a great deal of job satisfaction.

You can look at people at the bottom as in desperate need of help, or a buffer in case of crop failure. Now think about it for a second which idea makes you feel better?

PS: I am not saying this is a good thing, but it's a thing that's worth considering.
