This is a real weak spot for companies like Google and Amazon, which have very little experience delivering quality tech support. Rackspace is playing catch up on the technical side, but they really understand support. It goes a long way.
I am not slamming it, it is a cult. Read what he wrote, these people literally think you either do TDD, or you are wrong. Despite all the actual testing of TDD having found it offers no benefits at all.
Good answer. I'd consider adding it to the website.
After reading the post I right away thought about the book "The Willpower Instinct", great book and highly recommended!

Totally disagree with these assertions. You _should_ know these things, but you need to learn them by doing. You'll never learn this stuff if you don't do it.
IDEA is similar to Eclipse in those respects, except perhaps editing stand-alone files.
Eclipse user here.
I use it on a daily basis and there are things I really like about it:

- debugger (and everything about it, like hot code swapping, etc)

- run configurations (setting multiple run configs for one project happens!)

- views: I mean i use only "java" and "debug". they could be faster but i don't mind, you don't switch them often.

- workspaces are ok too, when it comes to organizing your projects in groups. It's ok, really.

What i hate:

- performance. for example the typical problem (i think it is a bug) when you switch between java and xml editor and you wait like 5 sec.

- workspaces that resets everything. wokspaces should group projects, not the user preferences. Dear eclipse, it's still the same person opening them!

- why the hell i have to spend 2h configuring eclipse after downloading a new version? does not svn/git/maven a default requirement for java development today?

- search. i never remember which tab out of 6 and what setting will allow me to just do grep in the project folder.

- the toolbar - please remove all this crap. I will only use those 3 run buttons and switch perspective anyway.

The Planet WordPress Feed is broke ... Here's my solution
I have to disagree with "you should do your best to refrain from showing it". I believe that the attempted refraining is causing those tiresome sexual advances. I mean I know guys on both ends of the spectrum of flirting proficiency, and it's the guys at the "refrain" end of the spectrum that make situations akward when they try.
Courtship is just as much a skill as programming is. And refraining from programming because you aren't good at it is never going to get you anywhere near good. When you then try to skript something together desperately, you will fail.
On the other hand, the "experienced" rarely made conversations akward for them or the girl, in fact most girls they talked with enjoyed it.

Things like attraction, they're low level things, and they'll leak out. And the more you strain to hold them in, the more akward it gets. I have yet to see a person that can convincingly mask off attraction towards another person.

So don't simply try to force attraction out of the workplace, rather keep anything you do there as professional as you would with other things.

Also for 3. : Go get it girl!
Until you do something in a moment of distraction or half-thought that would strike a lot of people as humiliating or ridiculous in some way. Like the kid who smiled so big in his school picture, now the butt of countless internet jokes and his picture is everywhere. Nobody wants to be made fun of that way.
Fun fact: Even if Mr. Emrani has put a copyright notice in the README.md, it doesn't apply in the United States! I wonder if the warranty notice is also also moot?
Again, the exception to the rule doesn't make it not (generally) true.

"Men fall in love through their eyes. Women fall in love through their ears."

And people love to tell themselves convenient stories that may or may not be true. If that proverb were really the case you'd expect to see a full variation of height difference in couples but no, you nearly always see a woman ~ 2 - 3" shorter than the man, so it's certainly a factor.

Additionally you see a general increase in height in populations with decent nutrition over time which is arguably due to sexual selection.

Explain to me the 'TALL, dark, handsome' cliche?

There's plenty of evidence that height is a thing. As I said before, it's not 100%, but the fact it's a big factor is undeniable. It's not everything, but it's a massive factor, even if other factors can compensate to some degree.
Eclipse feels like an OS in some respects due to the amount of configuration options there are. Eclipse has file extension to editor mapping. You can map .php files to an Eclipse editor, but it may not be the default. If you installed the PHP Plugin[1] for eclipse, I'd bet that your .php files would then open in it's editor instead of the system default.

I know of one unofficial Go SDK in the works. When we fully support an SDK we really support it by dedicating headcount to those SDKs. Things are obviously still evolving, and Go support is definitely on my wish list.
>There they were, a handful of people wearing Google Glass, now standing next to me at their own urinals, peering their head from side to side, blinking or winking, as they relieved themselves.

I wasn't there so I have to take his word for it, but... I really doubt that. Blinking, of course. People blink. But why, I cannot fathom, would everyone at a urinal be peering side to side and taking pictures of other people using the restroom? No one does that with the camera they carry with them everywhere. Why would Glass change that? What would it be about Glass that would suddenly make everyone want to take pictures of other men in the restroom?

Was this story just made up to be hyperbolic? I seriously can't figure out why Glass would cause such a huge cultural shift that would make people start photographing each other in the bathroom not only acceptable but common.
>hate crimes (also known as bias-motivated crimes)

Correct, certain groups on the internet saying the most vile things they can think of because of a perceived slight is not bias-motivated so it's not a hate crime. Congratulations on your enlightenment.

(And just to preempt an argument you might have, the fact that someone trying to be as offensive as possible uses discriminatory language against their target does not imply that discrimination is the reason they are verbally attacking. It only implies that such language is in fact offensive.)
Great point! This is why I'm always a little hesitant whenever I hear about auto complete abilities. Just the knowledge that your storing personal info (whether it's hashed and salted or not), and authorizing the browser to determine when it is convenient for you not to type.

What my privacy concern is just a javascript phishing attack (nothing too complicated that a beginner can do). Not to say this feature wouldn't be nice, just making the suggestion that there is alot of room for concern here.
this was the issue I had with using a Linux OS (ubuntu, mint) full time and why I switched back to Windows (and run a VM). many of the distros are focused on replicating basic OS features over and over again.
Tesla’s market value soars, but some see a bubble
It doesn't take a genius to see how cameras in a bathroom could be abused. I wouldn't expect every person who potentially faces Internet-scale humiliation that might come from the prospect of their private parts ending up on someone's FB page to simply shrug it off.

I'm counting the days till some Glass-wearing hipster gets his head shoved in a toilet for crap like this. When it happens, I expect THAT will be filmed as well.

Then I met the man who excitedly told me about his power to snap pictures with his eyelid. He explained that he uses the wink-to-take-a-picture feature so much that a few days ago he was not wearing his Google Glass and was confused when he blinked his eye and nothing happened. His mind had played a trick on him, he said.

Well this itself isn't new, since I often reach to adjust my glasses even when I'm not wearing them.
Six Numbers Reveal the Booming Business of Quantified Self
Sounds like an interesting combination of:

- consequentialism (good and bad are judged by their consequences on the strength of structures)

- emotivism & subjectivism (how relevant a structure "feels" to us)

- a vaguely articulated position on the nature/nurture debate (feeling of relevancy towards structures is innate)

- some preconceived yet undefended notions about what's physically/abstractly relevant (why would I give a damn about reproduction, or order and authority, if not for social indoctrination?), and

- a healthy dose of Eastern philosophy/religion (inner peace, alignment, etc.).

An "analytically inclined" reader will probably begin by asking:

- Define "structure".

- Define what "strenghthen" and "weaken" mean when it comes to structures.

- Define "relevance", and tell me how to measure it.

- What's the threshold for dropping "for X" and just calling something "good" or "bad" simpliciter?

- If the feeling of relevancy and the mechanisms behind it are innate, what causes wild differences in people's opinions about right and wrong?

- What does it mean for a structure to "support" or "encompass" another?

- 7) sounds like a Chinese fortune teller's advice.

- Is it possible to align yourself to one structure without harming any other structure? Seriously, no collateral damage?

- Why is Kant's categorical imperative "self-delusional"?

There are many bad things about analytic philosophy, but the preoccupation with precision is not one of them. Without precision, your statements could mean anything whatsoever, and many such interpretations will be self-contradictory. But what is philosophy if not a lifelong project of refining one's beliefs and exploring their implications? Fix the ambiguities, fix the vague statements, squash bugs a.k.a. contradictions, wash, rinse, repeat.

Finally, points 3-9 would belong more in moral psychology than in metaethics.

P.S. You own metaethics.com, .net, and .org? Wow. Some of the philosophical associations that are devoted to metaethical discussions could really use one of those domains. Honestly, I think it's a waste of three perfectly good domains to use them for a one-page manifesto.
This is the last thing we need in the Bitcoin world... online wallet services run by people not even smart enough to roll their own.

Kudos to you and spending time on this project, it looks pretty slick, but it's a horrible thing for Bitcoin in general.

If the only thing it manages to accomplish is accelerate the rejection of online wallet services then I suppose it's a good thing.
I don't understand what Hangouts is as a product.

It's another huge marketing/branding failure by Google too. They expect the world to learn intimate details of all their crazy products that aren't hinted at by naming. Google loves to hijack short and extremely common words to use as opaque identifiers for products.

Examples: "Google Wave" -- meaningless unless you read about it extensively. "Circles" -- takes a while for people to realize it's actually "Google Friend List Where People Can Exist In Multiple Lists At The Same Time." "Google Hangouts" -- okay, "hangout" kinda works, but it feels way too casual. I don't want to "hangout" with most work people. What is it anyway? Video chat? Text chat? A Skype replacement? Mobile messaging focused? People don't really know unless they research it first.
Not currently. I have some scripts bound to some hotkeys to emulate tiling, but it was all hardcoded x/y position and dimension.
> And let's face it: No real dick will be put off by a code of conduct helplessly condemning all kinds of unwelcome behavior - that's why they're dicks - but a huge portion of men will keep to themselves ridden by guilt because they're the ones actually thinking sensibly and will ask themselves about their own dickishness.

The point of a code of conduct is not to stop dicks from being dicks. It is to remove any plausible defense. You can more easily ban dicks when you reduce ambiguities.
Are you saying this to violently agree with the OP? He covers exactly this in his section "What is the problem with global objects with constructor?", where he even points out the function-scope macro that can be used to help alleviate the problem.
Responsive Design with Brackets
It would be really quite amazing if Yahoo acqui-hired Tumblr.

I know it'll never happen, but it's just funny to think, given their current trend for acqui-hires.
given the nature of your response, I am going to make the wild assumption that if your Rules of Society were enforced you'd have had your ass kicked by a lot of women.
Hackers Who "Wreaked Havoc" At Sony Jailed In UK
Sigh. Sure, if I looked like/were as confident as Tom Cruise I could compensate for the height disadvantage. But it's still a disadvantage.

The interesting point with these sorts of responses is they follow the fallacious logic of 'here is an anecdotal example of somebody with your disadvantage succeeding due to separate advantages, therefore you don't have a disadvantage at all.'
I never implied that working on interesting projects means you can't work in teams, and 'getting pushed into a niche' is quite different from getting yourself into a position where you can work on projects you actually like and make progress without having to tip-toe around office politics or waste time sitting in useless meetings or making planning spreadsheets based on when your manager promised a delivery to someone higher up in the food chain, instead of how long it takes to get the job done properly.

I'm not saying you don't need managers, or that no such thing as good managers exist. I'm just stating my observation that more often than not, who gets into management is based on the Peter principle, rather than how 'smart' or capable someone is.
With the Newegg vs Amazon debate for a purchase there's another factor to consider beyond price: customer service. That's something that Amazon has won me on countless times now. Slight problem with a product that they ship me? They'll pay for the return fee and send a replacement out on the fastest available shipping. Newegg has proven slightly more difficult in that regard so in this I still find myself leaning more towards Amazon.
Nvidia Shield is now available for pre-order
I agree with you on this point: there will be misunderstandings, and there will be violence. Almost certainly someone is going to end up in an emergency room, where a doctor will be picking bits of Google Glass out of their head with tweezers.

I was just pointing out that this is not a good thing, and freehunter should not be proudly exclaiming how he's going to punch someone in the face.
Interesting and sad. IDEs are like editors, very personal things.

I wonder sometimes if it is an ego thing. How often is the whole direction of a particular featured changed completely because the author feels they have to be better than some other similar feature in a competitor environment? When someone says "Yeah, but even Visual Studio does X" does that send the developer into a flurry of "Oh yeah I can do X++?" or not?

I see similar things in the window systems, and find it sad that even in an all open source space there are such vitriolic attacks on KDE/Unity/Gnome from both inside and outside the various camps. Why is that? Its like sports franchises for nerds where there is some sort of built in comparison conflict, some need to be the "winner".

I completely agree that Eclipse could use a 'benevolent dictator' who not only was able to make decisions by fiat if necessary, but also was not caught up in defining their self worth by how Eclipse compared to other IDEs.

At what point should founders take a salary from their startup?
Wow, voted down? That's really what happened to me. If you haven't been paid, and they are constantly saying they will, then get out. They really aren't telling you the truth. You just have to cut your losses!
I think everyone is a little confused by App.net.
Really? If someone was indiscreetly peering over your shoulder to check out your package, you would let them know that it made you upset? Excuse me good sir, I do believe you are offending me?

Where I come from, that's more than an indiscretion. We're not talking about a locker room.

This did not resonate with me. Almost reminded me of Ayn Rand.

I believe one should do good because it is the correct thing to do, not for any benefit to oneself or community. "No good deed goes unpunished" is a truism for me.

If start-up time is an issue for you then you aren't using eclipse as an IDE. Eclipse and now IntelliJ is my primary development environment. IntelliJ is basically running on my machine all the time. IntelliJ may have an advantage of eclipse here in that it can have multiple workspaces open - I don't know if eclipse can do that.

I use SlickEdit for C++ and it starts much faster, but while it can "do" java, its completely ineffective compared to IntelliJ or even eclipse. OTOH IntelliJ occasionally hugs all 8 cpu threads trying to grok spring bean usage across three maven projects. Its a price I'm willing to pay.

And finally theres TextMate and Joe or on these knackered solaris boxes, vim. Can't really beat vim for start-up time, but unlike some of my genius friends, I can't get my head around it for large projects.

My point is, if your use case is open editor, open file, edit file, close file, close editor, then you don't want an IDE, and there are plenty of great editors for your use case.
At last somebody who gets my point.

I've given up because of this and other factors. But I respect your positivity and you're right there is more to it.
Some people may see "Fanatical Support" and cringe at it as marketing: it's really not. It's a company core value, and baked into the DNA of every person in the company from HR, to IT, support, engineering - customers, developers, etc are not just revenue - they're our family and friends.

Fanatical support is what makes Rackspace, well - Rackspace.

I don't make a habit of going into women's restrooms and staring at their nudity while they relieve themselves. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.
It's a sad reality that FOSS is about the developers scratching their own itches, and not really about user level polish. That's what paid businesses are for. User bugs are hard and not sexy and probably not fun to developers, which is why they are punted to the bottom.

I guess it all depends on what factors you want to optimize for, like fun or success.
I think it is great to see some reflection happening in the eclipse community. It's a hallmark of a vibrant open source community.

The next question is, what will come out of the reflection?
Is It Time To Get Rid Of The Linux OS Model In The Cloud? (2012)
Man, wait till the teenagers start getting class. Sexts are already so common, this is going to be a huge problem.
In PHPStorm (IntelliJ spin-off) I can just do "Open Directory", and it will parse all the source files inside that directory into a new project automatically (if none exists yet for that folder). All those intelligent features you describe work right away.

Why can't eclipse do that?
Unfortunately, it depends on what sort of job you're going for, and I would be surprised if there wasn't regional differences too. Plus some people have negative preconceptions about the sort of person that would go through SICP (happily, they are exactly the sorts of people you don't want to work for). If you're looking to join a larger company or looking to enter the job market in the next 12 months or so, then probably experimenting with more frameworks and getting some code up would be better bang for your time. Even better if you have contributed to existing OSS projects.

But for your own general longer term career development, SICP is a very good bet. But SICP wasn't really designed for home study so it will be hard going. Personally, I would be very impressed if an interviewee made it halfway through SICP by themselves. I have tried multiple times and never got very far before .. er ... reprioritising.

If you want to learn more functional programming, I highly recommend learning Haskell with Learn you a Haskell (http://learnyouahaskell.com/). This is a much easier start to functional programming and get you productive quickly. Haskell will force you to really learn functional programming as there isn't an easy imperative backdoor (not to say you can't write imperative code in Haskell - see (http://www.haskellforall.com/2013/05/program-imperatively-us...) for example, just its not particular easy how to get there). My current project is writing a web app in Haskell and its a very interesting experience.

If you want to learn functional programming, but still be attractive for jobs, then I would recommend learning Scala ideally with the 'Functional Programming in Scala' coursera course and then working through Odersky's "Programming in Scala" book. Scala is a JVM language so it can interoperate easily with Java code, and I've seen companies in London using knowledge of Scala as a signal of a good quality Java developer. It is also (successfully in my view) a multi-paradigm language which can be used both as a functional language, and as an imperative one without feeling too much like a compromise on either side. Though in my view, its harder to learn functional programming properly when you have an "easy out" back into the imperative world.

Also, check out communities you can join such as (http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/) or Haskell Cafe or local Meetups with others interested in functional programming.

Good luck.

We love HTML, too. That's why we're so excited about web components--it brings the power back to HTML (and DOM) instead of in some parallel universe in script.
Not only will someone be able to retroactively stalk you, they'll be able to cut together their own version of reality. Imagine someone having every snapshot of you while you're having a bad day - scowling at a slow elderly person ahead of you on the stairs, flipping someone off while driving, a really bad photo of you with a bunch of drinks around you. Nevermind that you were trying to hurry to get up the stairs to help your pregnant wife, or that someone threw a brick at your car, or that you're just watching your friends' drinks while they play pool.
