Homeless But Not Hopeless
Me and my sister are homeless, so we created an app in hopes of getting ourselves and family out of poverty. It took us about a year to do so.
We created a fun family friendly game with absolutely no death or violence, yet challenging and fun! With the idea of world peace and that everyone can just play together.
I believe that we are all equal, and that we just wear different hats :)
Please feel free to check out our game, promise you it will be fun :)
Here's a video of us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=c4-feed-u&v=liCcQkf-M2k

Gameplay of our game is also on our channel
We're also on facebook etc.

Me, my sister, and our mother and father have been homeless for a few years now, but our father would always tell us to have hope, and we do, we always will.
No matter what, good times and bad times. Can never lose hope, and keep moving forward.
I thank you for taking the time in reading our story.
> All of these behaviors seem intended to minimize the differences between open-plan and private offices, don't they?

Yes. It's basically an ad-hoc recreation of a private office when forced into open-plan.

And of course open plans are very fun to be in when you've got ear issues and can't wear 'phones for more than 10~15mn at a time before they start hurting.

IMHO, this is the opposite of sloppy.
Better Onboarding Through Science
I got into dubstep for the same reason. In a quiet office, I like listening to classical. But you can't use something with quiet parts for distraction. So now I listen to EDM, with a more consistent volume level. It gives me something to talk about with my 12 year old son, who now thinks I have good taste in music :-).
Only problem I had was in 2007, I got the red ring of death, which Microsoft fixed. I picked up a 360 for my brother at the same time, and his is also still running perfectly (he managed to avoid the ring of death). I've never done anything particularly special for the care of the system, I keep it elevated off the floor, and it has always rested flat (for better or worse).
I have been keeping journals for years, and have most of it all the way back to around the age of 10 (I'm 34 now.) Generally what happens is that my really old stuff is just sitting in big plastic storage boxes, and I don't ever look at it except every few years when I feel nostalgic, so that doesn't become a problem.

I agree with your argument completely. The point of my comment was that the audience, and not marketing people, are to blame for that.

Actually, baseball has existed in Japan since the 1870s. It was in no way a post-WW2 phenomenon.

> Korea was a similar case...

I don't see how dividing up a country among the victors makes any sense, either in the case of Germany or that of Korea. What exactly did they expect to occur after a couple decades had passed?

Perhaps a better poll would've been "What phone OS do you think you'll be using in 4 months?".

Anyway, I'd love to switch to Android but I can't come to trust Google at all.

Sure it's possible to use Android and stay relatively Google-free, but they are clearly trying to chokepoint that into impossibility with moves like Play Services, et cetera. Jean Baptiste Queru, the leading force behind the Android Open Source Project just quit and went to work for Yahoo, too.

I think vanilla Android is the better OS, but my options are limited: buy a Nexus phone (currently can't, nothing is available), buy a $650 phone with vanilla Android, or buy a subsidized locked carrier phone, fight the device's DRM and then hope Cyanogenmod or someone produces a stable ROM for it sometime soon.

Edit: Fixed Google->Yahoo goof.
Really? Your only three choices are "I love it," "I hate it so much I'm changing my entire platform," and "I hate it slightly less than that."

Come on.
I'll look into that. Thanks.
As a consultant, I sometimes have to code or debug in all kinds of clients' office environments. Just saying "open office" is not enough to characterize an office. For example, at a design firm I saw project rooms where 4-10 people work that are usually buzzing with collaborative conversations, but they also have open "hotelling" space providing a quiet area. This is the opposite of the quiet-room or "phone booth" approach.

Their designers and engineers can also work at home part of each week. This combination seems to work well and their employees have a lot of say in how the workspace works.

The variation among open offices is greater than among conventional walled-off offices. In part I believe that's because it is more difficult to make an open office work well for a mix of employees. It can work well for coders, but I think it's safer to put coders in offices, and almost certainly not the same open space as business development

The most recent example I have seen of a failure in providing a good engineering environment went beyond the banal cubicle veal farm and included an insecure manager who needed to see all his engineers even though he wasn't hands-on enough to evaluate their output closely. If you find clashing parts of your engineering environment the furniture is probably just one factor among many.

In China, crowded open office spaces are common, and use of headphones by coders is rare, at least in my unscientific sample space. After-lunch naps at one's desk are normal, and are sometimes accommodated by turning down the lighting. I point that out mainly because napping in an open office in the US would be horrifying to most people. So keep an open mind about what can help.

I seldom have to deal with adverse workspaces for very long, and I'm aware that I'm paid to adapt to my clients' work-style. For Hubspot, making headphones acceptable "work-wear" is probably important to making all offices in the open for everyone work. I use IEMs if a workspace is very loud because some people might look askance at a consultant wearing big Sennheiser closed cans.
Policies that enforce silence is what's needed for open office plans to work. But silence would also cancel out any supposed creativity benefits.
I agree. I was really hoping to see the eagle land but it looks like the video cut just short of that moment.

No, but I should write one. Broadly speaking, I think test coverage in the real world, as practiced by effective programmers, is variable. One must use judgement to decide the appropriate level of test coverage. There are so many factors in making that judgement however that it's hard to distill.

The primary heuristic I look for is "Do I have enough tests that I can be reasonably sure these tests will fail if I break the code". That is the fundamental question! This is different than the RSpec books' approach which is more dogmatic and highly structured (you need to test every function, every entry point, pretty much every single thing). The thing is, the RSpec book approach does work! It works better in fact! It also is a colossal waste of time. I'd write tests like that if I was writing a trading platform for the NYSE, but almost no one does that sort of work.

Since I'm in the midst of writing a book (shameless plug http://exploringelasticsearch.com ) I don't have time to writ e that post unfortunately.
In reverse, why would it be such a bad thing that he mentioned that she was asian? Is then not as offending that he referred to an individual purely by an article of clothing.

PC, while good when faced with derogatory remarks and such, can be overused.

I did my bachelors degree in a pretty small school which was mostly filled with white teachers and students (I live in the north), and on staff there was only a single black man. It was quite interesting repeatedly seeing PC conscious people looking for him:

"Is Andy here?"
"Which Andy are you referring to? We have three,"
"Oh.. erm.."

I am not saying "Oh, lets all be non-PC", but if the only defining feature about a person is being asian I dont see why it would be any worse than saying "dark haired woman".

The minute we assign some kind of shame in either direction when it comes to pointing out race, disabilities or any other defining features, that is the moment we are steering in the wrong direction.
I love cucumber. When you join the development of a project it's a great place to start and learn what the project is about.

The whole 'customer writes features' thing never worked for me either, but just having it as automated specifications for my projects makes it very valuable for me.
I have been looking for the same thing, and I don't think it exists at the moment unless you live with your startup founders.
Great to see that this has devolved into a religious argument about code syntax... well done the pedantic few, but you guys are missing the bigger picture

Like:

1). Have there been any other backdoors surreptitiously slipped in that nobody has noticed?

2). Is Linux Kernel really as secure as everyone thinks it is?

I'd spend more time scouring the code looking for other backdoors and securing those than worrying about a holy war on the merits of Yoda Comparisons [Which by the way I think suck. Use a compiler that errors out or warns on assignment found where comparison is expected, code is meant to be human readable, so make it so.]

The joy about Linux being open source is that you can get your fingers and minds in the code and even if Torvalds had put in a back door at the behest of some government entity or other, it wouldn't matter - you guys have the power (and ability) to close that door. So if I were you, I'd spend more time doing that and less time bitching about other coders' syntax preferences that may not match your own.
It is definitely a work in progress, but it feels pretty good to me. After having iPhones since the first one, ios7 is refreshing and a long time coming. I think I would have been ready to jump ship if ios7 had been another Forstall creation.
It sucks, I had to do that for a long time. My train of thought derails when I hear music with words, so I had the same classical/ambient tracks playing on a loop all day. It was very annoying, and even the most comfortable earphones don't feel great after a whole day. Dead silence would have been much better for me, and "noise-canceling" headphones give me a headache.

Well, that interpretation of the article ignores how Deidu was constantly saying it is unlikely these conditions would come to be (he says "unlikely" that Android licensing will beat Windows Phone's licensing, Android dominating is "wishful thinking"). Seems like your view is Deidu couldn't be wrong. If Android didn't become very successful, Deidu predicted it. If Android did, Deidu predicted it merely by saying there was a small possibility of it happening.
There's no way I'm "upgrading" my iPad to iOS Barbie.
this is true in general. most internet noise comes from a vocal minority - being part of a vocal minority usually correlates to lack of skill and knowledge and not the other way around :/
Windows Phone sucks, but i will accommodate in the spirit of fairness.
I think you're perhaps missing the point in one or two places.

Cucumber helps techies (devs, testers, etc.) and non-techies (product owners, scrum masters etc.) work collaboratively. I don't think the authors of Cucumber ever said that it enables non-technical people to 'read and understand the underlying code'.

Ultimately though, I agree with your conclusion but for slightly different reasons. I use both RSpec and Cucumber daily; they are both awesome and provide a similar end result. I enjoy writing Cucumber features but in certain circumstances it doesn't scale for large/complex applications (in my experience). I think that this isn't a problem for many people though, unless they're doing something wrong 'under the hood'.
Kind of surprised...

Congratulations sir. You must not watch much TV. It's understandable if they have commercials on all the sports, but I don't even watch much sports and I feel like I've seen the GTA-V spot a hundred times.
I'm switching to Windows Phone from iOS 7 (by request)
See, I'm comfortable with that as a choice as well.

Some days I'd be perfectly content working on my couch, but there are other days where I'd probably end up doing nothing but playing FIFA!

Not only that but I can move from "grind away" time to "oh crap I need to collaborate" time very quickly, and I find it personally easier to collaborate in person. Again though, just a choice.

And choice at work is a funny thing -- I've been asked if I want a Macbook or an HP laptop, if I need any software licenses for tools, if I want to get my reference books in ebook format or as actual books, but no one has ever asked me if I want an office or a cube or a desk in the middle of a room.

Nope.

Nope. What search terms replace "verse" with "vs" for you? Or do you google comparisons constantly?

I've been using Cucumber for almost 3 years now, but if I were to start a new project today I'd pick Capybara with MiniTest or RSpec.

When I first started using Cucumber I thought it was cool that "anyone could read the test and understand it"

But that one advantage doesn't really matter that much when everybody in your project knows Ruby and doesn't need the natural language side of it.
It is a known issue in that tier, and that tier is DAMNED pricey. Normally, I would make a snarky comment about Python, but it is early.

You realize that your link argues against this social reality, right?

>But now we have female doctors, lawyers, professors, and presidents. In fact, we have so many of them (even in heavily male-dominated areas like the physical sciences) that it’s no longer fair, or correct, to assume that the person in question is male. So how about we just collectively get over gender-stereotyping truck drivers, cardiologists, and pre-school teachers? I’m not saying we should aim to stop using gender qualifiers right this second. But it might not be a bad idea to pause and ask yourself why you think you need to specify that the doctor is female and the teacher is male. Is it important? Or is it just not exactly what you would expect?
javac is itself written in java, so you can write a little program that does that in a loop, waiting for some trigger. I actually just had it in a shell, waiting for you to hit return, which also called my code after compilation.

An unexpected benefit (unexpected to me, anyway) was that not only do you avoid the startup penalty, but you also benefit from JIT compilation of javac itself - every time it compiles, it gets faster! IIRC it's fairly substantial the first 10 times, but still improving at 50.

Here's a working minimal starting point I just put together for you (check docs, google, stackoverflow etc):

import javax.tools.*;
import java.io.*;

class Demo {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
int result = compiler.run(null, System.out, System.out, args);
}
}

java Demo Foo.java # compiles Foo.java

Here's a stackoverflow answer suggesting something similar http://stackoverflow.com/a/793913/50979

BTW: I called out to a bash script to work out which source files had changed, because it's easier than writing that bit in java (and this compiler doesn't do that for you - it just compiles the explicitly listed source files).

HTH - let me know if you need more info. I've been thinking of using Jnotify to watch for source files being written to, so it's 100% automatic - one issue is that I save quite often, and each will trigger a compile (I'm doing this with plain javac and inotify at the moment).
Where I come from, we call that a circle jerk.

Doesn't it just mean "word for word" or "exactly the same as"? I don't think the extra words in your explanation really need to be there. One can use the term in general, such as "copy an essay verbatim" or really any type of work or performance (e.g. musical recording), even if it is non verbal.
Nitpick, but I think "went to work for Google, too." is supposed to say, "went to work for Yahoo!, too."

On a related note, JBQ leaving really left a sour taste in my mouth. I remember him being a constant and positive force on the message boards back in the Android 1.x days; though I don't really know him, he seems like the kind of developer that doesn't jump ship without good reason.
If you want to quickly try some setting changes before selling your iPhone, you can improve the contrast for several iOS 7 elements by going into Settings > General > Accessibility and turning "Increase Contrast" on and for additional contrast, switching to bolder text by turning on "Bold Text"

I'm surprised but I am absolutely loving iOS 7. There are some quirks but many annoyances have been designed away.
cucumber sucks

Perhaps, but I think more importantly it's just a time sink. You end up writing nearly all of the same test code, only reusing bits becomes more difficult thanks to the abstraction layer.
The code in question (see the LWN link elsewhere in this discussion) actually had parens around the expression (in a context where they looked "normal") and wouldn't have generated a warning.

That said, I agree with huhtenberg above that twisting the language conventions around to deal with this is never going to fix anything. Subtle code remains subtle in all languages, and subtle code is where security bugs lie. You can't fix "subtle" with a rulebook.
Where is the "meh" whatever I use iOS7 and I dont love it or hate it option?
Customer writes features may not work. But writing features and asking customers to confirm that the description matches their expectations works a lot better.

edit: tl;dr: "I expect iPhone and Android to get 20% share each." -- Horace Dediu

I quite clearly read his comments in square brackets as his predictions.

"The addressable market for modular solutions will have to grow much faster than that of inter-dependent vendors. [The chart shows in-line growth--again due to the overall growth of the market. The green guys above won't just roll over.]"

"The split of licenses between Android and Windows Phone within the addressable market must favor Android. [Again, this is unlikely]"

And his conclusion:

"In the end, the real limitation is that the brown area itself is not going to get disproportionately large. Android is limited by its addressable market and that market is a lot smaller than the whole market."

That's a clear, and clearly wrong, prediction. He lists a whole bunch of specific things that could go either way and predicts one consistent direction for all of them and they all came down the other way. That's a comprehensive failure.

He calls Android dominance "wishful thinking" and links that phrase to another of his pieces in which he says this:

"That simply means that no single platform can win a disproportionate share because it would threaten the balance of control the operators require. So talk of “dominance” of one platform or another is hyperbole. The most likely scenario is an even distribution of share between 4 or 5 competitors, so I expect iPhone and Android to get 20% share each."

So he was right about the iPhone (though they seem to have peaked), and wrong about the other 3/4 competitors in the market.
