What advice is he actually giving? Don't introduce new technology too fast? Keep working at a failed startup because it might work longterm?
>He's not 'right' about anything of substance

He is right that most "game designers" suck, and that the core reason is because they were people who didn't cultivate a real skill, so went through the QA -> level designer -> designer path. A path which doesn't make any sense, and for which there is very little useful training or education available. There is so little analysis of what makes games fun and how to design fun games, and 99% of game designers never see or hear about the little that is available.
This is a reasonable point. For me, I'm inclined to believe that if the relationship is so transactional that the diamond is a required payment, then the relationship is already doomed.
> It wasn't example of her failing at her research, and it's exactly how Glen Beck would make an argument.

Does damsel in distress trope include punching oppressor in the balls in the end as optional element? How does it play into all this objectification and captured woman lacking agency?

Never seen Glen Beck but I've seen South Park: Dances with Smurfs and what I get from this is style of commentary that states questions that suggest something that that would be slanderous if it was in form of a statement. Slanderous or just false and stupid, like on History Channel: "Could aliens help build pyramids?".

I don't really see parallels to Thunderf00ts style.

> he was dead serious, he's also incoherent.

As dead serious as stand-up comedian, but I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

>> claims (falsely?) that tropes vs women fails to acknowledge

> yes I have an issue with that.

I must have missed it in original video.

>> proposes that this trope is just using natural instinct of helping loved ones ...

> I'm sorry. That argument was such a blatant emotional appeal, I'm really stunned you're backing it.

So you think that the trope was put in the story rather to provide pleasure to player by diminishing women, than to provide motivation for male protagonist by playing on basic humane instincts and by proxy providing motivation to the player who identifies with protagonist? Or do you think it was put in the story for some other reason? Or am I posing false trichotomy with those questions?

Maybe just because argument is about emotions it makes it invalid? I don't really see it anything similar to "Will somebody please think of children!" which is most obvious emotional appeal I can think of right now.

I'm always astonished how two intelligent people can see something in completely opposite way if they come from two different ideological backgrounds.
Interesting thoughts... typically I don't, but the last couple races I did required it. I'm doing Marathon des Sables in a few weeks, which requires me to carry a ~20lb bag for the 6 days I'll be out there, and I ran a 50mi race this past October with a 5lb bag(water, light snacks). Of course, there was the time spent training for it that required me to get ready to do these races. My preference is without the bag, of course :) and I always do my runs with running shoes, never in boots.

I'll try to do more of my runs after this one without the extra weight though - thank you for your input! What ultras have you done?

But the thing is, many of the major flaws of WordPress are baked into its theme and plugin formats. Much like with Excel, you'll need to match it quirk-for-quirk to interoperate with it. And what's the point of simply reimplementing WordPress?

Hi Peter, this website was only meant to be seen once Docker is actually open-source, which will be the case very soon.

I do think there is a need for a standard way to package and share software at the filesystem and process level - we don't pretend to define that standard, but hopefully we can contribute to it by open-sourcing a real-world implementation.

Reminds me of the "celestial spheres" model of the universe where heavenly bodies (orbiting the earth of course) were "held up" because they were embedded into a sort of matryoshka series of crystal spheres made of a supposed 5th element, a solid æther.

Of course this model did little to explain retrograde motion.. ;)
QA is basically a lottery for designer jobs. You get a job doing QA (which is a terrible job) in the hopes that you will be one of the 0.1% who get chosen to become a designer. This makes no sense at all, but that is how it works.

This might work if you only have to run three or four VMs on a box, and run several applications in each container. Full PC virtual machines are much too heavyweight, though, for isolating thousands of individual processes per box, especially when most of them might just sit there doing nothing most of the time.

Though! If you want to, you can think of this standard as specifying an "ABI format" for high-level, lightweight VMs that happens to run on a "Linux machine" instead of, say, an "IA32 machine."

Young Coders Learning Python at PyCon 2013
Adria,
I am a big supporter to equal rights. I am of hispanic origin, and even raised catholic, i believe in gay rights, womens rights, and am as big a tree hugger that you will ever meet. I actually stop to confront people who protest day laborers (while Adria combats her demons behind a blog/twitter etc), and have stood toe to toe with minutemen, and multiple groups of not so happy looking skin head tattoed guys...

when my daughter tries to quit anything, i p;ush her just as i would any child of mine, regardless of sex...and as such she is a four year old who is ahead of her class mathematically, uses a computer (i cant tell you how happy i am when i saw her boot her machine, log in, and launch firefox and type in "p", found "pbskids.org" and proceeded to play her game....at age 3 and a half)...

I am philisophically on Adrias side, but i do break on one count...when sexist talk and sexist ideas are actually used to hinder a womans rights and hinders a womans progression in ANY way, i will roll up my sleeves, jump into the foray and defend any abused person, whether or not its "my fight" to get into.

Adria, sorry...i dont know you...but this was over the top. There are many things we men get blamed for that are truly just over generalized jokes, but i dont anyone to town over it...being forgetful...not being able to multitask...not being clean...all of these things dont mean anything unless they are being used to really abuse you...

my wife shoulkd be brought up on charges for all the "male bashing jokes" i am subjected to...and sadly, i hvae known women like you...the jokes against males, against whomever you see is a target of your angst is ok...but god forbid if anyone who has no control over you at all makes some sophmoric poop joke...then we must have his head on a platter for opressing your delicate sensibilities...

It's bad enough that IE10 a year ago was close to current, that it took nearly a year to release the thing, now they don't even push it out. IE9 should be effectively dead now, but it's not.
You do realize that WordPress plugins and themes are written in PHP and Django is written in Python, right?

This has nothing to do with Reader. We were tackling a spammer and inadvertently took action on the root page of digg.com.

Here's the official statement from Google: "We're sorry about the inconvenience this morning to people trying to search for Digg. In the process of removing a spammy submitted link on Digg.com, we inadvertently applied the webspam action to the whole site. We're correcting this, and the fix should be deployed shortly."

From talking to the relevant engineer, I think digg.com should be fully back in our results within 15 minutes or so. After that, we'll be looking into what protections or process improvements would make this less likely to happen in the future.

Added: I believe Digg is fully back now.

>His career pre-2000 is dominated by Ultima games, which were doubtlessly groundbreaking, iconic, and by almost all accounts, great games.

That is mainly a myth. Ultima was technically impressive for its time, but a terrible game. The series didn't become decent until ultima 4, and ultima 7 is the only one in the series that is really worthy of the praise that it gets. The other dozen games get painted with the same praise heaped on ultima 7, even though they range from ok to terrible.

Yes, you probably don't want to run untrusted code with root privileges inside a container if anything valuable is running on the same host.

However if that code is trusted, or if you're running it as an unprivileged user, or if nothing else of importance is sharing the same host, then I would not hesitate to use them.

Containers are awesome because they represent a logical component in your software stack. You can also use them as a unit of hardware resource allocation, but you don't have to: you can map a container 1-to-1 to a physical box, for example. But the logical unit remains the same regardless of the underlying hardware, which is truly awesome.
Similar - I was an early adopter of "desktop publishing". I was in the printing business and part of doing printing was doing typesetting. For that we had dedicated machines with terminals and large floppy drives which output on photographic paper which needed to be processed chemically. The first machine I bought (Itek) used light shining through a plastic font. Each font cost $40 (iirc) and for each variation (say, bold, once again iirc) you needed a different plastic piece.

Anyway in along with the first mac a bit later came the laserwriter and customers started using that for camera ready copy (canarie in the coal mine was only 300dpi way below photographic quality). Later linotype built a rip that could interface a Mac 512k (iirc) with the linotype (about 1985). I spent almost 6 figures on a linotype and became a service bureau. The minute I saw that you could draw a box on a Mac around type (with traditional systems you needed to essentially program this) I knew what would happen. That said I was in my 20's most others in my business didn't see it the same way since they were older.

Another thing that would really help Ember's popularity are screencasts, something like egghead.io, where you'd show off some more advanced stuff. I know that they'd probably be a lot of work to make and to keep up to date, but they are pretty invaluable for getting users up to speed. And the time spent doing these is an investment, you guys would spend less time answering questions and you'd probably have more committers which also saves time (maybe).

Edit: Now that I think about it, aren't DHH's Rails screencasts considered one of the reasons why Rails got as popular as it did?

I think it took me about a weekend to edit using iMovie, but I'm not very fluent with iMovie. And, of course, there was the effort of my friend, who discretely filmed the whole thing with a steady hand.

The newer one that I'm almost finished with has taken a lot more effort because of the multiple cameras. I've had to learn Final Cut Pro X, which is much, much, much more complicated than iMovie. This one has taken virtually all of my free time for that past month. Not that I have all that much free time, so it's not like it's any more effort than anyone would do for a hobby.

The Analytics on the video you were watching say that 7,307 views are from the US. 2,071 are from the UK, 1,510 are from Brazil, and 1,037 are from Germany. Then Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Poland. Then just about every other country has some views too.

I'm surprised that more of the views aren't from the UK, since it is the UK where Marina is from and is most well known, but I think her new album appeals more to an American audience with its electronic dance music sensibilities, while her first New Wave-sounding album appealed more to a British audience.

Adding additional hops in between would just add a slight processing delay, but definately not change the overall latency.

Google's temporary XMPP limitation (which wasn't a complete deactivation of external interaction) via whitelisting is expected, per Google's announcement, to be replaced with a new antispam solution that allows federated interaction without whitisting next week.

(see http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/operators/2013-March/001635...)

So, the idea that it limiting XMPP interaction was secretly part of a master plan to move Google Talk into a walled garden with no off-Google's-system interaction, which was wildly unsupported from the beginning, is looking less credible.

I congratulate this guy.

But I feel like the youngish folks reading hacker news (self included), especially those that get wrapped up in youth-worship and pseudo-libertarianism (not me) should ask themselves, what will we do at 65? It's a fairly uncomfortable question in our field. Whatever the reason we should not tolerate the factors that push older people out, or make excuses for doing so.
your results confirmed what I suspected, that using jQuery selectors is both performant and readable code. Ergo, his second point is probably advice best ignored.

His appoint about using document fragments, or some equivalent thereof that resides outside the main DOM, is a good practice to follow when there are a large number of serial changes to the DOM that in effect are only one change to the user.

Seeing redacted docs like this always makes me wonder - for brief blacked-out passages, couldn't you make measurements of the remaining letters/words on the line, their sizes and spacing, and algorithmically generate a few likely candidates for the blacked-out text?

You could at least estimate the length in characters of the blacked-out text. For a monospaced font this character count is trivial; for a proportionately-spaced font it'd be a little harder but you have lots of other non-censored characters to learn from.

EA really did used to be a great company. It is a shame how far they've fallen.
I left the news business in 1983, from a major metropolitan daily. I was coming in at 1 pm, writing three business stories a day to a 6 pm deadline, then staying until 9 pm supervising the layout of the business pages. Honestly, many of the business stories were junk (how could they not be at little more than an hour apiece?). Typically one would be a rewrite of a wire story, one would be a rewrite of a corporate press release, and one would consist of calling the same stock market "experts" after the market closed for their pontifications on why the market moved the way it did that day: "Well, the market appears to be heading for a correction as buyers anticipate poor results in tomorrow's housing starts report..." I'd see almost the same words from the same guys on the wire and in the other major dailies. I'm sure they were making it all up on the spot.

I always had a couple side stories I was working on that would take a week or so, and now and then I'd go out to do a business profile, which tended to be something of an advertisement for the business in question. I'd interview the owner or president, look around the place, talk to a few employees. But at least it was something like journalism. But with the intense deadline pressure during my regular work day, I mainly did the work for these in the morning on my own time.

There were some fun times though. There was the night when our hometown team won the Superbowl, and all the reporters stayed late watching the results come in. That night I drove through streets packed with celebrating people to get photos taken by our man on the scene from the AP office across town. Election nights were great too, with free food in the conference room and the whole staff feverishly compiling results until the front page closed at midnight.

And there was a sense of power too. All I had to do was say "I'm a reporter for the XYZ Times," and the company president or the head staffer in the Congressman's office would be eager to talk to me.

Thirty years ago was supposed to be the glory days of print journalism, but already papers were closing and reporters losing their jobs. A running joke in the newsroom underscored our basic anxiety about the future: "What's a journalist? A reporter looking for work."

I lost my job after my mentor, the managing editor who shepherded me through the political minefield of the editorial staff, got sick and took a six-month leave of absence, leaving me at the mercy of the ambitious deputy managing editor.

One day the business editor, my immediate boss, called me into his office and told me I was being transferred to a sister publication of tiny circulation in another town, but that was actually a lie. The truth became apparent when I was called before the deputy managing editor. He actually ran the newspaper since the editor-in-chief was a figurehead hired for his name alone. The managing editor who had mentored me was long gone. "How does it feel to be fired?" were the first words he said. I gathered my stuff and walked out. I went back to school for a grad degree and never looked back.
I edited my post to make it clear that that was a quote. :-) I also think that in case of OOP, it's an incidental outcome. (Efficient code reuse clearly needs more than just to have your program have a message-passing based architecture.)
