Isn't this exactly why it is sexist? [1]

[1] This (being tone deaf to social cues) wouldn't work to attract women in a social setting, so why would it work in a professional one? You're basically offering up a scenario that is more likely to create anxiety for women, and as a result they will (statistcally) self-select into a different activity.
I've seen somewhere a test for how many color words are there in the language - only color-words which do not correspond to a specific material or plant which color is emulated are accepted. So “red” or “blue” is fine, as is “piros” or “vörös” - but “sky blue” (color of sky), “ruby” (color of the gemstone) or “scarlet” (color of the Scarlet cloth) are not.

> we are still suffering the (stupid, self-imposed) effects

The real damage wasn't self-imposed. It was imposed on us by poor leaders.

The solution lies within. The events of 9/11 were vivid, but in terms of GDP just a blip. It was the poor leadership that caused so much economic and human damage - spending hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives for basically no return at all.

We'll never have 100% control over foreign actors, but our government is an entirely different case. It exists by our whim alone. If instead we had spent just 1/100th of that money on better government accountability we'd be miles ahead of where we are today.

This is awesome! We've got plans at Blue Bay Travel, to completely rewrite our main sales sites, Caribbean Warehouse and Tropical Warehouse to use a block layout. Now that we're growing, we intend to keep the design limited but feel like content is always dynamic.

This is going to become a big part for us next year when we hopefully start the rewrite.

Nicely done! Plus, everyone is excited to use it because we all adore Sir Trevor!
I'm sorry, I fail to see how logical and abstract things like a computer and a programming manual can be sexist. Please elaborate.

Clean code needs no internal comments, but that's very different from whether software contracts (which are inherently outside the code operation and therefore need comments) need comments.

I strongly dislike extraneous comments. But even some clear code needs some external communication alongside it.
Both functions return "undefined". They should be identical after JIT compilation.

The only thing I can imagine taking longer would be the compilation step itself... but I had always assumed jsPerf didn't work like this, i.e. I thought it would wrap the test code in a 'for' loop and then eval the whole loop, rather than doing the eval call inside the loop.
It is impossible to argue with such generalization. Culture is sexist, ergo industry is sexist. I would only say that LA startup has very different culture from big corporation which still uses mainframes and Cobol.
If it is called sexist for that reason, then the person using the term 'sexist' to describe the situation is comically misunderstanding the term. Sexism is basing one's beliefs about another on the basis of their sex, even if those beliefs don't actually relate to sex in any meaningful way. For instance, saying "The IT industry requires you to work hard, so women won't like it, because y'know, women can't stomach hard work" would be incredibly sexist. Conversely, saying anyone is free to join the IT industry is the exact opposite of sexist.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding around what sexism actually is: it's not sexist for something to simply not be favourable to some sample of a given sex. In order for something to be sexist it either has to make assumptions about the qualities of a given sex based only upon their gender, or be discriminatory toward a given sex based solely upon their gender. Discriminating on the basis of hours worked is the opposite of both of these.

> There are kids who don't know reading/writing before school? o_0. I thought it's what parents are for.

There are children who don't know what books are, let alone how to read.

The UK (which starts school at a very young age) has several things in place to help. There's the charity BookTrust which gives books to parents. Early Years teaching (pre school) has lots of stuff around books and reading. There are charities and schemes aimed at improving parent literacy so that can be passed onto children; and at increasing the number of men reading to their children.

Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is exactly.

There are plenty of other professions, like say music, surgery, law, athletics, performance and endurance sports, teaching and many more that require a person to go outside the normal hours and work to practice, to achieve any sign of mastery. The fact that these professions demand such an work setting is not because they inherently like to discriminate against a minority, but that standards of quality are held at such a high bar you inevitable have to work that way to make a living there.

There is fundamentally nothing wrong with it.

The History of Packets
For a more detailed understanding of the PISA system, there was a recent Econtalk podcast - http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/08/hanushek_on_edu_3.h...
Maybe it was conducted by email? Could be, so no follow ups were available.
History proves some interesting insight to education.

Take for example literacy. There are Finnish/Swedish parochial records/church examination registries dating back to 17th century down to a level of individual families. This is
important due to Charles XI's Swedish Church Law of 1686 stating that everyone had to be able to read bible. So you can follow how that emergent Lutheran essence actually turned into literacy. From an individual perspective it was necessary to learn because you weren't allowed to take holy communion, be confirmed and later wed without reading ability. By 1750 some parishes started to have 90% reading ability. What is surprising is the writing ability. It achieved same levels only around 1900 (1920 in Finland). So that is clearly connected to industrial reform rather than spirit of protestantism.
At least my initial assumption that reading/writing go hand in hand was proven wrong. In light of this long history of literacy in Nordic countries I tend to value the South Korean jump in literacy from previous generation more highly, even if it was achieved through “culture of educational masochism”.

Book about this: Understanding Literacy in Its Historical Contexts: Socio-cultural History and the Legacy of Egil Johansson.

Take a look at pg. 47 at Google Books and see how incredibly detailed those church examination registries in 1688-91 could be (pg. 56 has a nice graph differentiating the development of reading and writing ability): http://books.google.fi/books?id=WBLOVq4ocLEC&printsec=frontc...
The people who have had half their brains removed (Hemispherectomy) and are functional had it removed when they were very young and the other side wired to adapt. Depending on age of operation, there may be more or less significant impairments for life.

For humans with 2 healthy hemispheres, as far as I'm aware better imaging is revealing that split brain theory is only partially correct for many of the processes that were formerly thought to happen in one half only. Recent imaging has shown that the other half is still involved, albeit in a less widespread fashion.
Something like this but for naming things while programming would be awesome.
As others have mentioned in the past, I believe this is one of the best "business" books I've ever read. Not in the traditional sense, but that only furthers my point. Absolutely phenomenal read.
Except both of these are rare occurences that last a short while - it would probably be very detrimental to have lucid dreams or sleep paralysis every night for months/years.

>What assumption does atheism make? None.

Atheism makes the assumption there is no God (read creator).

Creationism makes the assumption there is a creator.

>There is no assumption being made; it is simply an unanswered question, about which we are unsure we will ever have a useful answer.

Atheism tries to answer the question without the use of a creative being and creationism tries to answer it with the use of a creative being.

There is no difference between the two. Both make assumptions. Both have the possibility of being incorrect.

Really nice site! Only bit I'd change is how experience is communicated. Everything being set to "expert" or "master" (aside from animation) made it kind of hard to believe and kind of robotic.

It's not officially supported, but I'm using Chromium with the PPAPI Flash plugin that comes with Chrome, and a lot of other Linux users probably are too.
It's not the jsperf runner, ie. any "settling" of GC sweeping, or anything of that nature.

It's surprisingly the location of the DOM elements. See here, I've swapped the two elements, and now the result is _backwards_

http://jsperf.com/always-return-on-jquery-events/21

Can anyone with knowledge of the webkit internal DOM id-based key/hashtable shed light on this?

I'm guessing that for the 2nd child, when it's propagating upwards, it has to hit 1 more element -- that is, if it must reach the first child to get the parent. I'd hope that the structure is more optimized than a simple crawl to the first node to go upwards.

EDIT: Actually, I'm wrong. I edited the test to have 6 divs, and re-arranged the order of the tests. The tests still come in performance-wise from first-to-last, first performing the best. I really don't know what to think now.
Everyone is talking about post-infection. However - this passage from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/cryptolocker-r... seems fairly key also:

"This infection is typically spread through emails sent to company email addresses that pretend to be customer support related issues from Fedex, UPS, DHS, etc. These emails would contain a zip attachment that when opened would infect the computer. These zip files contain executables that are disguised as PDF files as they have a PDF icon and are typically named something like FORM_101513.exe or FORM_101513.pdf.exe. Since Microsoft does not show extensions by default, they look like normal PDF files and people open them."

I haven't got a Windows box handy to try this on but I assume there is at the very least an extra warning dialog when opening an exe - even a zipped exe?

Not that that mitigates this at all. The inability to distinguish executables from data files - and although that doesn't apply in this case - the ability of data files to hide executable payloads either via design or error - is a major and currently uncorrected flaw in the system.
This is the difference between crime and organised crime. People would not hand over the money to the burly visitors each month if their shop was burnt down anyway.

Evidence that paying the ransom actually results in the files coming back is the most troubling aspect here - these people are looking to establish a longer term criminal enterprise.
And one of the reasons is the idea that you don't pay back, you pay forward. Everyone got help at some some point, and many are aware of this idea.
Well, you know, science and computers and medicine and all that stuff.
Lost had much higher production value, but B5 had much higher internal consistency and, imho, a more interesting plot.
Nice! Any chance jQuery can be removed as a dependency? Also, it would be nice to have the image block added to the demo.
That's silly you can say that about a lot of things. If a large company builds its headquarters in a place that is going to have 'positive externalities' on the surrounding area too but that doesn't stop companies from locating their employees together in buildings because they are worried they might benefit other surrounding businesses.

Roads as with anything have a symbiotic relationship with the nearby community. If there are no places people want to go along a route then people won't use it or pay tolls conversely if there is no road to get to a business no one will go there either.
Presumably it's doing something like encrypting just the file headers or a part of the file, that way it can "lock" more files in a shorter time. JPEGs seem to be quite robust in being partly recoverable even when parts of a deleted file have been over-written - sorry I don't know the details.

No, since the first could be in the context of me releasing personal information, and the second could be the quarterly earnings before they're released publicly. Or someones wages, or someones password, or the location of a witness in hiding, or the binary representation of a libellous claim, or harassment (but I only sent 0s and 1s in a message on facebook your honour!), or a million other things that we all agree are illegal.

It's an incredibly boring, and over-repeated statement that you can represent information as numbers and therefore you can have ILLEGAL NUMBERS! What will the poor maths teachers do?

> Yep, announcing a number's factors can be illegal.

If you do so with the intent of breaking encryption I'm sure there are situations where it would be illegal.

Intent, as is so often ignored when legal matters come up, is incredibly important.
As an alternative then, harassment over the internet and libellous statements.
Quite annoying.

That would be effective if programming was a solo activity. I suppose there are niches where that is so (eg: the majority of solo web-designers I know are female.)

But most programming jobs happen in companies (even if that "company" is virtual, like an open source project.) Look around your office. What's the prevalent culture? How accepting are you of people of other races, nationalities, sexes, sexual orientation? Which colleges and universities are represented?

Now, it's okay if you're successful and have a limited culture, but at least own up to your lack of diversity.

(and by "you" I mean the generic you, not "you" specifically altero.)
I wouldn't advise doing that because you would enjoy the later seasons much less without having developed some kind of attachment to the characters, and missing some of the backstory.

But if you really want to do that, you could surely find some plot summary of the first seasons to quickly get the main "facts".

I came here to say almost exactly the same thing, that is, doing impressive looking things nowadays is so relatively easy that doing something that genuinely stands out is as hard as ever.

Back in the day, it was more a problem of resources than ability or ideas, because hardware was expensive, open source was less prevalent, etc, but now almost everyone has the resources so now you need to be creatively and mentally on top of your game to compete instead. Being persuasive and able to get your work seen is also more important than ever. Lots of great work gets produced that never breaks out.

All that said, when things become more about talent than resources, it reduces the privilege needed to make an impact, so it certainly has its plus points.

Is there some low level checking by the js engine to see if it should stop processing the function if there is no return?
Or, to put it another way, does adding the return explicitly tell the engine, "ok we're done here", as opposed to a small amount of processing required by the engine to determine that for itself?
You would prefer a two page portfolio from a designer? That's crazy.
Agreed. It's an actual testament to his skillset being put into use, and conveys more about his ability than a paper resume would.

So what are you suggesting. That you should offer different things to women because they're different. Surely that's the sexist bit.

If one offers the same thing to people regardless of their sex how can that be discriminating against them because of their sex?
Freedom becomes a very big problem, when you are not ready to handle it. Because remember the moment you are free to do anything, you also own up the consequences and failures of your actions. Most people are uncomfortable to be in these situations.

People blame their school, teacher, parents, siblings, country, company and what not their current state. But if they were to sit down and ponder, even if the hurdles they state were actually(Most of the times they are not) something they couldn't overcome themselves- A scary scenario emerges where you are left staring at your deeper self. You know deep down inside you haven't done your part, and you are actually in search of something to blame to justify your own short comings.

Beyond all, there is great benefit in victim mindset. Our society shows far more empathy towards victims(Who are presumed innocent and exploited) than failures(Who are considered losers).
I really like the blocks idea. Considering this will be used by content creators who are not necessarily code savvy, it seems like a great way to allow them to organise the structure of the document without giving them enough rope to hang themselves. In practise, most content will be text and they can just keep writing and hitting return. I can't imagine many documents will include a large number of other content types.

I currently work on a site that uses TinyMCE and inserting images, videos etc. is a nightmare. There's this combination of the burden of HTML sanitization and the illusion of total freedom that TinyMCE gives to content creators. Something with better separation of content types would be wonderful.
