The other thing that a lot of people forget is that a stand up is supposed to be informal.

If you're leaving a paper trail that management can go back through (even in theory), then it will get sanitised, and people will try and make themselves look good. The further you get from reality, the more value your "stand ups" will lose.

There's a good reason for the "pigs and chickens" analogy.
It in fact does but I think there may be some manner of "expiry", and it is also trivially easy to get around from what I have read. This submission appears to have a /? at the end of it which may be enough to get past a dupe check.
Homeworld still has a chance. Gearbox are a great developer, I'm glad it was them who decided to purchase the IP not Electronic Arts who would have turned it into a micro-transaction orgy. I have fond memories of the Homeworld franchise, so I hope they don't taint those memories.

With a handful of great games under their belt, I reckon Gearbox can do it. Aside: I am really looking forward to Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 coming out sometime this year hopefully from the guys as well.
Thanks for not adding anything meaningful to the conversation.

Anyone looking for a modern Homeworld-esque experience might want to check out StarDrive (currently in beta, available on Steam). It's a 4X RTS which shares some design elements with HW and mixes in some of Civ's colony management and sci-fi themes from EVE Online.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the developers; I simply tried the beta on Steam and found it pretty intriguing.

Everyone has their skills. Not all designers are coders, even knowing how to efficiently create HTML and css isn't something that everybody needs to be great at.

I agree it is helpful that designers know the basics of html and css, but that isn't their job.

It's like asking a developer why they aren't also a designer. Why not just learn how to design.

Having said that I've met a few designers who are AMAZING programmers as well (or vice-versa) but it is a very rare and valuable combination.

I'm learning some design now through designlab (just started), but I likely won't become an amazing designer, I just want to get better and possibly improve my abilities to see what the designers see and I'm missing, and hopefully improve my ability to work and communicate with designers.

The other half of it is learning to engage more with other people's code and get inside their head.

The stereotype of the young coder, when given no oversight, is to skim over something, declare it crap, and start rewriting without even trying to maintain the original. Sometimes that is the correct move, but since they haven't engaged with long-term maintenance before, they can't tell the difference.
This is charging per byte. They're implementing an amount of traffic bundled with the base package, throttling when it's exceeded and the ability to purchase additional full speed traffic blocks.

Charging per byte is a "good thing". It encourages carriers to go after the top 1% of their bandwidth users. Otherwise, they treat them as a cost.

Even better, it places a lower bound on the value of a piece of media. Here in NZ, I'm paying US$1.20/GB. That means that 720P torrent of Game of Thrones would cost me US$1.70 to download. All of a sudden, people can compare torrenting something with getting Sky (HBO provider).

Even better, if the total value is around the cost of traffic, it encourages the provider to do a deal with the telco for cheap transit and revenue splits. That typically results in better performance for the end customer - such as Google's YouTube caches.
An Open Letter to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and Adam Savage
The problem are legacy apps. The Surface Pro is at 1.6X, so things begin to look small unless the app can be upscaled either by expanding the pixels (in which case, 1.6x is extremely inconvenient as not being a power of 2) or have the resolution natively baked into the app (not many yet).

2X (as in the Toshiba) is much easier to upscale transparently (2x being a power of 2), but its not really valuable until apps start supporting that resolution natively.

Edit: as pointed out below, N just has to be an integer, not a power of 2.

Is this quote really about design?? " have certainly been in a bad mood, gotten confused by a product, and found myself repeatedly smashing a button to no effect. In my frustration, I try the same thing, just harder. But it doesn’t help me accomplish my goal."

This sounds more like something that is broken. I wish there was a better example provided of bad design affecting the users mood.
A difficulty is that you can't remove options once they are published. A second problem is that you don't want your API to leak the underlying implementation or it will be brittle. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't allow parameters - both examples given were a cop-out really.

I've had good results with basic parameters - date ranges, index ranges for paging, ordering by a couple of important and relevant fields (could well include some kind of computed value like 'hotness'), and probably most importantly - a query parameter (search algorithm being blackboxed in API).

If you need many more params, it may be a sign that the underlying resource is becoming overcomplex and can be decomposed - I've made applications where the API interfaces were completely uniform across resources, which worked out really well and encouraged takeup (the most important measure for an API).

The other main question is whether to allow the caller to request which fields to return (cache-filling and complexity vs bandwidth).

HA! Okay, I'm looking into that right now, will get back to you.

Update: It went from 21,369,458 to 13,900,665 in the past week - so I probably need some sort of lower bound for these. In some cases that can indicate an up-and-comer, and I am even using a log scale for the delta so this a pretty serious outlier. Thanks for letting me know it is dead though, i will remove from the DB.

By trekking through a great deal of intellectual territory in college, way more than you will in an equivalent span of working years, you're mitigating a big risk. That's the risk that you will find it difficult to span gaps in your understanding as your occupation and your career go through earthshaking changes. As a software developer it is pretty well certain that you will be affected by these kinds of changes. With college behind you, you will have a greater range of topics in your repertoire and the confidence of knowing that you have faced plenty of difficult topics before. It's not as though a bright developer who bypasses college cannot dealt with change. But college helps.

YES!!!!

I've been a fan of Gearbox since Opposing Force was released. I'm damned excited about this, I hope they handle it well.

I agree with littlegiantcap on exercise and D3 and sunlight- HUGE difference. especially if you can look at your life and realize you feel differently in the summer than you do in winter or spring.

But there is one realization that has saved me. I call it the reset option. Reset all the things in your life that push you to contemplate suicide. None of them are worth it; so, reset them.

For myself, I imagined what my life would be like if I did die, to the world, but didn't actually die. If all my obligations, commitments, relationships ended, then what would I do?

What would you do the day after everyone thought you had killed yourself? You can choose to live your life that way now. You can live your life in any way that makes you happier. There is nothing wrong with playing around with the kind life you want to have. There is no wrong way to live your life.
This sort of discussion really just upsets people (not because of fighting, but because of how it makes people confused about themselves and others) for no real benefit.

The Hard Problem is solved, in the sense that it is known to be hard, and troubling. Let it be. There are so many more rewarding things to put the same effort to.
I see this all the time, and the challenge is that 'ideas' never occur in a vacuum. Even when the people who have the idea don't consider any of the things going on around them, the success of those ideas are controlled by forces outside and sometime unrecognized.

One of the classics for me was the 'video phone' which was (and remains) a stupid idea. The idea that you would have a device, that only allowed you to communicate with the same family of devices, and provided by a single provider. Is stupid. The idea that you could interact with someone over a network in real time via a combined video and audio stream is a good one.

When Bell Labs proposed the video phone you could use a $1,500 hard wired terminal to send a 262 x 184 grainy black and white video stream to another person who used the same kind of dedicated $1,500 terminal. Not a lot of value to the end user there.

When you could use a $25 web camera and a bit of software to create a video and audio connection between your $1,500 computer and someone elses computer with a webcam, the computer and networking costs were already 'sunk' in the sense they already had justified their value, so video conferencing only needed to meet the marginal value of being able to see who you were talking too.

The difference between 'success' and 'failure' here was the environment in which the idea was presented, and the amount of value the idea brought relative to the cost of doing it. In the context of today's $29.99 cable internet video conferencing is a great idea, with $2,000/month 1.544Mbit T-1 lines it was a stupid idea.

Interesting. My personal workstation runs Windows and I too effortlessly SSH and RDP into many headless or virtual machines to dick around and (occasionally) to do actual work. Hey, I also run Chrome, Skype, TweetDeck, Spotify, SSH and the like and I have been for years...on the same install of Windows. It's like your calculus doesn't work at all in my universe.

Actually...I don't think you're doing calculus at all.

Also, have you ever seen the source of Chrome? It's not that simple. Lay-people think it's simple, but software developers know better.
Oh boy, I can't wait for the writing talents at Gearbox to get their hands on the subtle, understated galactic drama of the Homeworld series.
I think the keypoint to all of this is that there are some so called 'disorders' that are actually highly valuable to society. Creative people who can connect dots like no other often have ADD, incredibly intelligent people have highly functioning autism. Why were these classified as disorders? Because most of the education system goes back to how the military classified and sorted out people suitable for their ranks. Everyone was going to follow a template to be a member of society.
What changed all that? I think a lot has to do less with the end of conscription (which many countries still have), but rather with feminism getting stronger and opening doors for anyone. And IT :)
What would be the best practice way to do this? Everyone could store a list in an unconnected way but it becomes an issue when passwords are changed and new entries are made to the list.

That is quite incorrect. Market makers are typically close to flat and are trading liquid instruments (assuming on exchange MMs like NYSE DMMs). The tail risk on a short duration trade of an exchange traded instrument is quite small, especially if the MM is not writing put options which this specific quote refers to. When writing a put option the premium collected by the writer is typically not enough to compensate for tail risk. Thus there is limited upside with extreme downside in the face of a tail event. Also the options tend of have longer durations (months or years). Firms pursuing this type of strategy are typically carrying a lot of mispriced risk on their books for a long time.
A somewhat different situation.
As a business, Apple is in a neat spot.

http://techland.time.com/2013/04/16/ios-vs-android/

The Time says it best.

So who is winning — iOS or Android?
Android if you’re talking about market share; iOS if you mean financial success. So far, this is a strikingly different market than the PC business back in the 1990s, when market share translated directly into financial success.

Repeating myself again.

Don't compare the smart phone market with the PC market. The PC market is completely different... any analogy here does not rest on sound financial first principles. Market share by number of units has not translated to market share by profit. The former is useless.
Syllabus for David Foster Wallace course
Your argument is quite sensitive to the numbers, and your estimates of the numbers are questionable. Maybe someone from CMU CS is starting with $90k, but everyone I've talked to has offers significantly higher. Two of my closest friends have starting offers over $150k. Instead of spending their time sharpening how quickly they can map the shape of a button to the appropriate API call, they acquired deep knowledge of computing, and thus can do things in an hour most people couldn't in a month.

The PC market is completely different... The analogy here does not rest on sound financial first principles. Market share by number of units has not translated to market share by profit. The former is useless.
Most of the estimates I've seen peg current global Android market share at 68% to 73%, with iOS at 20%x.

I would argue that Apple will lose upwards of half that position in the next two years. China alone will hammer them on market share, as Android will completely dominate the domestic Chinese market via cheap smart phones (particularly as the Chinese are heavily promoting their own vendors).

I think it'll be 80% to 85% Android, 8% to 12% iOS, with most of the remaining going to Windows and Blackberry (if Blackberry survives).

The history of technology markets consolidating toward a single standard (usually in the 65% to 85% market share range), leads me to believe that given the scale + momentum + competitive advantages that Android has, it's likely to creep toward that 80% quasi-monopoly line, and very soon.
(disclaimer) This is not for everybody (disclaimer)

If you walk alone on a street you probably don't interact with other people, but if you walk the same street with a medium-sized or small dog this is a very different history. Is very curious but a lot of small talk is generated with other people, even strangers, specially with other dog owners. If our dog looks well cared, not specially dangerous, healthy and happy a lot of people will hang around to touch him, and will talk with you.

A dog is not a toy, is a responsability, with expensive vet bills, food, maybe the urge to bark "hello world" in the middle of the night, and needs two walks each day, (even if you wake-up sunday morning after a party with a big headache). But if you feel alone and depressed and you can have one in your house a good dog is a powerful antidote for both, one of the best antidotes of the whole world in my opinion.

Every owner of a dog need to deal with the cleaning of dog faeces. This means to carry with you a plastic bag and a pair of gloves every time you exit your home. Don't forget this. Travels and hotels can require also some special measures.

A more easier option that could fit better for you is a ferret.

Advantages: don't make much noise, needs only about an hour of attention/day, You can have it safely in a cage in your house, they sleep most of the day whereas you work in the computer

Problems: can bite when angry but the main problem is the odour. They smell, specially in the mating's season. The problem is much avoided if the odour glands are extirpated. If you have only a female you need to assure either to breed or to sterilize her (The ferret females can die by "lack of sex", sounds funny but is very sad to see). Ask in the pet shop.

Ferrets feel the urge to explore any hole in the floor, (including WC's) or any crevice in a wall. Don't permit this, you can lost your pet. Use an harness to stop the small livingstone.

They steal and hide also any thing that they found interesting for a further review, from potatos to plastic caps. Under the beds, etc.

Cats: I say ferrets and not cats because you can walk a ferret in the park with a harness, but if you walk a cat you will be a little more in the weird side, with the spider, snakes, cricket and lizard's owners. Cats are cool and a great theme of conversation; You can atract all girls in a mile if you have a small kitten in your hand (is a scientific fact), but this kitten will grow, escape and do some nasty things with your curtains some day. Different advantages and problems.

Any small mammal, like a fancy mouse, can make you feel better and help you to generate a conversation. But they are rarely carried or seen outdoors.

Just remember that you need to implicate and care any pet, and this can lead to some troubles or discomfort in your life. There is not a thing like "the perfect pet" (maybe fishes?).
It's not strange, it's by design. They would do it if they wanted to.

If by strange you meant "bad", then I agree with you.
One interesting piece of information from this article : During peak periods of internet use in the US, Netflix constitutes 33% of all downstream traffic. Impressive!
DisplayLink is a horror show these days. Their 1xxx chipset was embraced by Linux users and well supported, and it looked like the romance was going to continue- the website and announcement for the newer USB3.0 chipset declared Linux support.

However DisplayLink now uses an encrypted signal and has shown nothing but contempt for Linux, declaring that they're not satisfied with the state of affairs and unwilling to do anything to bring support to Linux. Which is a shame, because DMA-PRIME was more or less invented explicitly for DisplayLink's sake, to allow these external displays to be backed by the primary video card and have it's buffers shipped over to the DisplayLink, and DisplayLink packed it's toys, sealed the documentation, and left the party. The USB3.0 product which was launched advertising Linux support has never materialized any support.
http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1748&page=...

If one is interested in attaching displays these days, I recommend RTFA, and using eDP, embedded displayport. It's built in to monitors, and it'll plug into the badass display protocol of today that nearly all GPU's expose, and often run through PHY's to convert into lesser protocols.

Hopefully we see more use of the Aux channel in DisplayPort, for transporting USB or ethernet. And hopefully we see some display controllers for monitors coming out that support daisy chaining, so we can connect multiple displays to a single DisplayPort without a hub.

What legacy app do you think won't work well? I'll be glad to try it out. Everything I've thrown at it so far has worked great. Even the desktop apps work well with touch or the pen.
That's today. And I believe it's a false sense of context because markets are momentum driven and the reading is all going by what Apple made in the last 4 to 8 quarters (rather than what's about to happen in the next few years).

Does the profit machine hold so well if you have a declining market share? (in which case there are dramatic follow-on consequences in pricing power with suppliers, margins in dealing with carriers, in app ecosystems, you name it).

I don't think it will hold up. I believe there's very likely a market share line in the sand, that if Apple gets pushed below it, there will be terrible profit consequences.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that breaks down (with code examples) all the different methods of JS inheritance and their disadvantages/advantages? I understand that Object.create is the now-recommended way to do things, but I still get confused because there are a bajillion ways of modeling inheritance in JS.
That was an awesome answer. Sometimes constraints clear our thinking, other times we can focus on them to our detriment.
