Life is too short to skimp on health and relationships; these things make you happier than money. So set up personal boundaries, and be willing to walk away if they're violated.

Some will tell you otherwise, but my feeling is that 12-hour days can't (and shouldn't) be maintained for more than short bursts. If you're doing 60+ hour weeks every week, you're going to be less efficient...or you're going to burn out. If someone is pushing you to work that much, then you really have to question why you're there. If you're the one doing the pushing, well...stop. Change your priorities. Work will always be there tomorrow, and you can be successful on a normal schedule.

(that said, long hours are somewhat normal at the start of a new job when everyone is bright-eyed and trying to prove themselves. everything in moderation, including moderation.)

No, he posted a publicly verifiable figure which is audited by the SEC and punishable with heavy penalties for faking, 11% increase of revenue in the quarter, up from last years quarter, whereas you continue the trend of the thousand other HN comments which say .NET is dying because they personally don't know of a company using it. How many companies do you know? How many companies exist in the US? Keep up the navel gazing. Your other posts also are idle speculation hopelessly stuck in your own bubble and your post is not very different from line noise at this point.

I really wouldn't understand such a move. If I had to do a Hangout instead of placing a voice call, this has major unfavourable implications on my telecommunications:

1) I have to ensure that I shower and shave before every such call.

2) As a somewhat average looking (at best) chap, I have to contend with bias (however subtle) against my appearance (especially when doing interviews and such-like)

3) As a, uh, "person of colour" with a relatively clear accent when speaking English, I have to contend with bias (however subtle) against my appearance (especially when doing interviews and such-like)

4) (admittedly minor reason) I would be unable to physically goof off while still sounding relatively professional (think pacing about, spinning on the chair, stretching out on the couch, etc.)

For all these reasons, I've never understood the point of things like FaceTime and Hangouts replacing normal voice calls.

What change in the way servers are provisioned? Many companies still use Windows Server 2003 and even .NET 4.5 is supported on it. That sounds like FUD.

They can also be happy with the ease of use of Active Directory and Group Policy instead of relying on half baked convulted perl scripts cooked up by a long gone sysadmin. Please, you're just embarassing yourself with your ignorant assumptions.

I'm here to tell you that is simply not so. You're dismissing this letter and her ideas because of past, unrelated indiscretions.

But there is a lot more nuance to the story than your simple one liner. For example, it doesn't look like anyone at Harvard knew about her claimed NA heritage before giving her tenure. If you have heard different then please share.
Computer systems, which are deterministic, have long since passed out of the realm of being understandable.

They're chaotic systems[1]. Parameters which are below the threshold of detection can drastically affect their trajectory in phase space. Accidental complexity has zoomed off to live a life all its own, and that takeoff has been continuous for decades [2].

Everything we build around software that's not directly bearing on the problem domain is chipping away at this or that aspect of the ungoverned bits. As we corral each level of new unpredictability, we merely set the scene of the next level of complexity.

There is no universal solution. There is no final boss which, once defeated, leads to the scrolling names and 8-bit themesong. It never stops, ever, because the value of systems that frequently fail unpredictably is lower than the cost of flawless systems and higher than the value of not building such systems.

Edit: sounds very unhelpful, even defeatist. I know. I'm deeply ambivalent about what can be done versus what we should assume is possible. I'm a fan of serious software engineering and tool support and all that jazz ... yet thoroughly pessimistic about the limits of the possible. Deep sighs for every occasion!

I'm dismissing it because she has shown herself to be of poor character and not corrected her past mistakes and taken advantage where she had no right. It is black and white claiming ancestry, if your family is listed with a tribe - all good - otherwise no.

Comments sometimes get downvoted because they are off-topic (fair regarding guidelines? I do not know). For instance, this is a meta discussion about HN being biased towards one company or an other, and has nothing to do with an Microsoft developed app being declared to be in violating with YouTube’s API and Terms of Service.
Saying it is ad hominem when it isn't is pretty poor too. She claimed something that wasn't true, it goes to her character.

Why mothball nuke plants when they are not in danger from tsunamis seeing as how they are miles inland in Southern Germany? Was there a public outcry after Fukushima?

Your company can't buy a personal license for you, so you have to pay for it on your own.

I first got a pro license of phpstorm at work and liked it so much i got a personal license for my hobby projects. For me the inspections are what make the difference with any other IDE or editor, with the refactoring and code navigation functionality in close pursuit. Phpstorm runs fast enough even on my clunky old atom netbook, and the UI fits on its 1024x600 screen.

I read a study where they found that overtime gives better results for a few weeks, then people become exhausted and LESS productive than the typical 8h/day worker.

I also remember another study showing that after a certain amount of overtime in a day, your brain works at the same capacity as if mildly inebriated.

a good way to look at a situation like this is go read the letter without having the author in mind.

Same as what other commenters said. Working 9-9 is unhealthy.

Maybe try doing 9-9 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if you can keep up with that rhythm, and then do 9-6 on Mon-Wed-Fri. That'll leave you plenty of time for social life and working out.

And then, you have the weekends too.

As far as dating: meetup.com can be good for finding like minded individuals, otherwise stuff like Nightlife at Academy of Sciences, gallery openings, etc. are great for meeting random new people from a different world (as a person in tech, I could never date someone from tech).

Here’s That Steve Jobs E-Book Email to James Murdoch
The fact that the value of copper changes is not relevant to it's intrinsic value. An item either has an intrinsic value or not, the price of that value doesn't really enter into it. Think of a dollar bill, it has a monetary value $1, but the paper itself has no intrinsic value. If we used the same paper with the same security features, but printed something different on it, it would be worthless.

The issue with a copper currency is that any actual unit of copper has intrinsic value, maybe very small, but it has it. A coper coin has the value of copper in it in addition to it's monetary value unlike a dollar bill or a bitcoin. An individual bitcoin has absolutely zero intrinsic value because an individual bitcoin is just a ledger entry in the bitcoin system.

What you are referring to that has value with respect to bitcoin is the entire bitcoin system, not an individual unit of that system. If we remove the monetary value of individual bitcoins they would have no value at all, just like the dollar bill, but exactly unlike copper.

Does that help?

Pie in the sky: if the ability to efficiently and rapidly switch DC is acquired, will we see the rise of packet switched energy networks? Data networks made the transition from circuit based to packet based networks, so why not energy networks?

If centralised generation is replaced with distributed generation there will be the need to route energy between arbitrary sources and sinks, located at any point in the network. One can envisage a network analogous to a packet based data network, where "routing algorithms" are used to direct fixed amounts of energy (a packet) from "A" to "B". A process analogous to flow control is used to govern the number of packets, and so the average power, being transferred between a source and sink. A device analogous to a buffer (capacitor?) could be used to average the power at the entrance and exit to the packet network when smooth power is required, just like running a "smooth" audio stream over a packet data network.
