Dip pens can be really touchy. I use a fountain pen a lot. Paper quality becomes extremely important; a ballpoint will skip over rough weaves in poorly made paper, but a pen with a nib will catch on them.

Why, then, would anybody use anything other than a ballpoint? For me the writing experience is smoother with a good nib pen on decent paper, and I hate cheap paper anyway. Even good ballpoints aren't great here; the only exception I've ever seen are these ceramic tipped ones: http://www.leevalley.com/US/gifts/page.aspx?p=70130&cat=4,53... As a result of poor-to-mediocre ability to write, my cursive degenerated terribly for years, becoming a terrible illiterate scrawl that even I couldn't read. After I started playing about with fountain pens, I discovered that it was actually a legitimate way of writing, and faster than printing everything everywhere.

It's unfortunate that it requires a 3.8 kernel, as getting those to work on most machines has been in my experience rather difficult. I had to downgrade back to 3.2 on a Ubuntu server because it wouldn't boot with 3.8. I was able to get it to work on a DigitalOcean fresh VM, but unless I want to migrate everything to a fresh VM, which I don't, I don't see myself using it for a while.

PHP is crap ,i use it everyday but come on , it is in 2013 , nobody is forcing no-one to use that . If you can use python,go,java or ruby go for it.

The only thing that saves PHP is type hinting with methods and functions. Otherwise i prefer nodejs personnaly.

I believe PHP can be saved , the maintainers just dont want to do it ( remove 90% of its crappy features , move APIs out of the core ,etc ... ).

I know this is a classic libertarian argument, and I hope you will forgive me that, but this whole thing is just silly. Medical considerations around marijuana are at best tertiary considerations. Far more important are 1) personal freedoms and the elimination of the standard of a victimless crime and 2) the incredibly damaging effects of the War on Drugs. Deal with these two and it is obvious that marijuana should be legalized. Who cares about the medical benefits.
Still annoying I have to type in my email address even though I'm already logged in to Gmail. With OpenID I just click a Google icon, some auth clicks, and I'm done. With this I have to type in my email and do some auth clicks.

It's also completely odorless.
The real problem lays in the default trained behavior of the user - leave a review if _anything_.

Both app developers and Apple have wrongly been pushing users to voice opinions publicly in app reviews, leaving app developers exposed with no way to communicate with those users.

The solution is to start pushing users to communicate their suggestions and issues privately, in the app, where you can better manage conversations, keep users engaged, and build relationships that can turn upset users into long-term evangelists.
the reason cigarettes are so dangerous is the tar and carbon monoxide. Smoking weed does not have that problem.

Also, many people vaporize their weed or use wick to smoke with - which lowers the temperature of the heat. Across the board, smoking weed is much safer than smoking cigarettes

You are making incorrect assumptions here; specifically, that many beta bugs aren't just a result of Apple breaking its own internal library code (which they will fix themselves before the final iOS version ships). In that case there is nothing the app developer can do except wait it out.
The way VC and angel rounds work, is in rounds...

Each round has investors commit and before they close, some investors may ask who else is investing. Most closed rounds on really early stage companies are hard/impossible to find, but all pre-closed rounds are impossible to find since there is no record of something that hasn't happened yet.
Broader compatibility (including reducing kernel dependency) is a major part of this push. There are a number of workarounds today (e.g. patching the kernel, deploying as VM) which are discussed on http://www.docker.io/gettingstarted/
But, obviously, such workarounds aren't practical in every environment.

I suspect the reason this hasn't been corrected is because ideally only developers have beta iOS versions and are intelligent enough not to do this.

Instrumenting jQuery errors in production
For what it's worth, I'm using express, and it doesn't come close to solving my plumbing problems.

Example 1: express can't reliably send a 500 if your code hits an unexpected exception somewhere down in the callback chain. To do it correctly, it would need to either use Node's Domains feature, or would need to use Promises. My own code uses Promises, so I had to extend express to respect them.

Example 2: I have quite a few modules that need to be shared by both node and the browser. Browserify is almost good enough, but to get it actually working, I had to find and fix bugs in four different npm packages.

Example 3: Then I try to add engine.io, which generates client code completely incompatible with browserify. To get the engine.io client included in my javascript bundle, I literally do a regexp replace on its source code.

Example 4: Then I try to add Ember.js to the client bundle. It's packaged in yet another incompatible way. I need to write a wrapper for it so it can find its dependencies, and so that the top level symbol can actually get exported other than on window. I write another slightly different wrapper for ember_runtime so I can load the models on server side.

Example 5: Does anybody do automated management of templates as clientside dependencies? It doesn't seem like it -- it seems like most people just package up all templates into one big pile. Well, I did some more plumbing, and now my code can say "require('templates/foo')" and template foo will automatically get precompiled into the relevant bundle.

5 Habits of Highly Effective Communicators
A refreshing write up.

I have seen that happen to myself. The motivation, the desire to pick yourself up and get to work drops.

The largest factor IMO is the people you work with ie Your boss, your teammates etc. This can make it or break it. Everything else comes and goes in time slices. I do not expect work to be interesting all the time but with great co-workers I at least expect an interesting hallway conversation or the spark to a new idea.

For me it was the Sr/Jr Engineer thing that killed my desire. I found that somehow my age/years of work experience came in the way by a highly regimented old world overlord. I figured it was an unhealthy environment that cared 2 hoots about what was happening in the world outside. Most of them had come from a school that thought sticking faster CPU more memory and larger disks was innovation while it was just evolution. Packed my bags and hopefully will never miss a thing :)

Good luck !
> Docker is not for doing fancy things with the running final products in their target format. Docker, by itself, is not for production at all! Once you've deployed a Docker container as a Xen snapshot or an AMI or whatever, it's done; some other infrastructure takes care of the running the target-format
containers part.

This is something very interesting and under-communicated. I've always assumed docker is run on the production server and is used to pull updated images and spawn containers. But you're suggesting one uses custom toolchain for making an image out of the container filesystem and the LXC template, and then deploy this container?
Actually:

...the trouble began in 1976 when finance professor Michael Jensen and Dean William Meckling of the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester published a seemingly innocuous paper in the Journal of Financial Economics entitled "Theory of the Firm: Managerial Behavior, Agency Costs and Ownership Structure."

The article performed the old academic trick of creating a problem and then proposing a solution to the supposed problem that the article itself had created. The article identified the principal-agent problem as being that the shareholders are the principals of the firm—i.e., they own it and benefit from its prosperity, while the executives are agents who are hired by the principals to work on their behalf.

The principal-agent problem occurs, the article argued, because agents have an inherent incentive to optimize activities and resources for themselves rather than for their principals. Ignoring Peter Drucker's foundational insight of 1973 that the only valid purpose of a firm is to create a customer, Jensen and Meckling argued that the singular goal of a company should be to maximize the return to shareholders.

To achieve that goal, they academics argued, the company should give executives a compelling reason to place shareholder value maximization ahead of their own nest-feathering. Unfortunately, as often happens with bad ideas that make some people a lot of money, the idea caught on and has even become the conventional wisdom.[1]

> Never mind, I see in another comment below you are saying that you are just as suspicious of medical doctors.

You accuse me of not reading your citations (I did), did not actually read my response to your comment, and then somehow you got that out of my comment below?

I said that MDs don't have immunity. If I find out that my doctor believes in pseudo-medicine, I will find a new doctor. If you think that's unreasonable, then I guess this "no further desire to discuss" feeling you mentioned is mutual.
What people seem to forget is parts of iOS 7 are still under NDA, yet people race to post videos and full-length articles of how "the new beta has 10 more pixels on this icon!" That, plus the fact that there are websites that sell UUID registrations so non-develoeprs can use the betas are the reason this happens.

So, instead of blocking iOS betas from submitting reviews, how about everyone as a whole stops breaking the NDA?

I can't travel back in time. Left the TARDIS in a different century again.

Linus announcing his kernel was in a time when there were no open Unix-like operating systems to use. The GNU kernel was years away from release, but all the tools were there to make an operating system out of the tools, if there were just a free kernel too. (The only other kernels available were not available to the general public for free) It took years for a somewhat usable component to appear to look like a product once packaged correctly.

There exist open alternatives to galleries and video players, which is what this effectively is. That's not to say that in years this couldn't be a usable alternative to YouTube, but it's currently not being developed as a product. Instead it's apparently a high school class project. If they want people to use this, it needs some kind of vision other than yet-another-open-source-clone-we-don't-need-itis.
I had back surgery following a few months of severe debilitating nerve pain. The surgery fixed the pain, but I was hooked on prescribed opiate painkillers. I quit the pills cold turkey rather than tapering, because tapering just prolongs the horrible withdrawals... less severe, but longer lasting, and more chances you'll just say F-it and not really taper but stay hooked. I used MJ edibles to zonk myself out silly during the 7 days of the withdrawals so that they would be more tolerable, and that REALLY REALLY helped, and I succeeded.
From the first comment on the guys page:

>> You haven't yet discovered that any business -- any real business that is-- is going to get to the point where you actually have to do work. Automate away everything you can, but there is still going to be work.

>> If you're bored doing work, and only interested in the exciting stuff, you're never going to be happy in any job beyond 6 months or so

There's a lot of truth in this. When I did network administration I would job-hop. The first 6-12 months at a place were always full of stuff to do, and the things you did made each department fall in love with you. Rebuild a server that's been flaking out for 2 years? Fix some application the other guy could never get to work? Roll-out a new system for X? Upgrade to the latest firewalls/switches/whiskerdoo?

But then after that, it's like time stands still. There's nothing left to innovate, nothing exciting to do. Sure, there's stuff to do but who wants to actually do it? Maintenance is no fun.

Later, doing QA at a my first software job, we had a developer with that mindset. He'd flesh out an app and use whatever the latest libraries and tools were. The first demo would amaze everyone. He'd come in late and leave early. By the time we started beta testing the product it turned into a huge mess. I took on the not-so-glamorous job of fixing the whole thing. And instead of quitting (like I wished he would), he'd stick around and the the boss would give him a new project to work on. Starting the cycle all over again...

Where is this wonderful place?
As a person who had a roommate whose schizophrenia was likely induced by heavy marijuana use (along with his tripping on multiple bottles of Robitussin), the fact of the matter is that the harm done to this small percentage of people is vastly outweighed by the damage done to people who can't get access to it for their medical needs. And that's ignoring the huge harm caused by prosecuting recreational users due to an absurdly ineffective prohibition policy.

The higher % strains, by the way, are a direct result of prohibition. If a drug dealer is caught with an ounce of high grade that sells for 400, vs. an ounce of low grade that sells for 100, he gets the same penalty. Take a wild guess which one brings more reward for the risk. And this, my friend, is why you have higher THC %.

Sorry I deleted my other comment, but I can't help but laugh at your response that they exhale propylene glycol, ROFL.

That's the chemical used to de-ice airplanes!!!

Wikipedia says that the oral toxicity of it is low, but it can be harmful in large amounts.

So I would have to casually guess that the long term effects of it, and if you smoke heavily, that it could be a problem.
The "how many arrested" statistic is completely useless because the level to which marijuana possession results in arrest varies wildly between countries and even states or cities. Equally the frequency of searches, the criteria for selecting people to search all vary wildly.

Anecdotally, marijuana usage was much more prevalent amongst students I knew when I lived in Canada than it is in the UK. My experience (admittedly while travelling through) in the US was similar to Canada. This drug-use map[1] corroborates that (US 14%, Canada 12%, UK ~7%), although I do agree that any survey about drug use will probably not see completely truthful answers.

I have a couple guys emailing me like crazy right now. I'm not responding. Why?

Nothing has changed. I don't need to respond every day to tell you nothing has changed. I start to get frustrated, and it turns me from an advocate into someone who just wants you to go away.

It's not that I mind talking about the issues, it's just.. if I say I don't have budget now, you asking me every week is not going to change that.

If instead you're telling me about what's updated, if something you've updated increases my business case, then that's actually actionable information I can do something about.

You can't "already have" schizophrenia without having the symptoms of schizophrenia (assuming you aren't on medication that completely controls the symptoms). The reason is that schizophrenia and almost all other mental illnesses are diagnosed on the basis of behavior. The current thinking is that there's a genetic predisposition, and then certain environmental factors like child abuse (linked to mental illness in general) and exposure to hallucinogens will increase the chance of the condition developing.
