Here is one. Humans suck at predicting stuff.

What makes you think you know what is better for your off-springs than random chance?

I consider diseases and human frailties a great part of what makes us humans. If we all had sharp teeth and powerful bite, we wouldn't drive cars, we'd chase furry animals and bite them with our powerful jaws. Occasionally stopping to hang around in the trees and eat fruits.
Microsoft consumer product support is indeed utter crap, but I've found their developer support amazingly good.

We had a weird issue with something on Azure, raised the issue and got not only somebody very knowledgeable replying quickly who pointed us in the right direction but also had the docs updated a day or two later.

Contrast to the utter crap "support" we got when an IntelliPoint update had a fight with the Alps software on Dell Latitude laptops and randomly triggered a gazillion consecutive UAC elevation prompts. After being told by "support" for the third time to do something stupid like disable UAC or turn it off and on again we just nuked IntelliPoint from orbit and voila, problem fixed. The next update of IntelliPoint fixed the issue so I'm sure someone managed to report it correctly.
You bet. Feedback well taken jawns and thanks! This has been live for 2 hours so I still think you have an opportunity here.
Writing lots of code will make you a better developer if you lack the experience, but you will plateau if that's all you do.
Rosetta Code[1] could become such a wiki. If the main pages for languages were fleshed out (or add a new page per language) with language features. It certainly has a diverse enough selection of examples tasks to provide a neat comparison of each language.

JS Everywhere- My First Conference Talk
Some people have played with this idea
http://readable.sourceforge.net/
http://www.informatimago.com/develop/lisp/com/informatimago/...

In fact (if you didn't know) lisp M-expressions using whitespace and indentation existed long before python (though the original M-expression syntax idea was based on FORTRAN). The reason M-expressions aren't used in place of S-expressions is because people using lisp preferred and continue to prefer S-expressions.
Culture and life (what you eat, how you exercise, how you live) weights more than genetics, unless you get visibly impaired by some genetic problem. For the by far big majority of people those are the factors that should be taken into account, not the base material, but how you grow up, what you learn, how you are.

Of course, if you have enough money to genetically design your children, probably have enough money to feed and raise them right, give them access to the best education, and probably have time to be with them, and is that what will make the difference, not so much to have the best of the best genes. But even without the designer genes, nor growing in a rich family normal people still have the potential to be great in whatever they do.

But is not designing the problem, is being discrimined later by people with access to your genetic info (something not very private as we leave traces of it everywhere), if that impairs your access to education or work, that will affect what you are too. Just labeling those that discriminate based on genetics as aryan race fans could put those practices in a negative enough light to avoid it to spread.
Yeah, like .. and also, be careful with the 'plugins' of a 'keyboard' manager, kiddiez .. these are helaciously un-inspected playgrounds for harvesting. It may "improve" your developer chops, but then .. "it may not".

There are ways to change the keyboard home/end key without needing an app to download. For example, a bit of Google instead yields:

$ cd ~/Library
$ mkdir KeyBindings
$ cd KeyBindings
$ nano DefaultKeyBinding.dict

Put these lines in that file, including the curly braces:

{
/* Remap Home / End keys to be correct */
"\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; /* Home */
"\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; /* End */
"$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Home */
"$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + End */
"^\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfDocument:"; /* Ctrl + Home */
"^\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfDocument:"; /* Ctrl + End */
"$^\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfDocumentAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Ctrl + Home */
"$^\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection:"; /* Shift + Ctrl + End */
}

(from Matt: http://mwholt.blogspot.co.at/2012/09/fix-home-and-end-keys-o...)

Why require a third-party to do such things, developers?

And also, umm .. dotfiles, kidz? Really, just like that? wtf. Please do not encourage such glib attitudes in an article intended for 'quick action', but rather .. dissect the thing. A collection of links with explanatory text is one thing.. Take some time, this isn't homework. Dig deeper.

I don't really think that being flip about this very real issue is helping anyone. And, honestly? As someone from Pittsburgh now living in a milder part of the country, nobody is amused by the chip-on-the-shoulder attitude that people get about how hard their winters are compared to elsewhere. I mean, you might as well brag about contaminants in the water supply or how corrupt your local government is.
All points in my opinion are cheap shots. With over 300 million people, over generalization is silly.

The current WR doesn't use the TAS method he describes in the video, it is similar through, but only requires getting hit by 1 rock, not 2. And doesn't require the slingshot. The "TAS-only" trick skips loading the inside of the tower and basically ends up at the bottom or something. The trick in the WR gets hit by the rock and you end up in the tower but skip to the end of the inside part.

Huh. I always thought Gattaca was a commentary on what we already have. It seemed to me an allegory about poor minorities making it into the rich upper class.

The genetically engineered angle seemed like a small plot device, not a central feature. If we take health and wealth of the typical first worlder and compare it with that of the average third worlder, it already looks pretty Gattaca to me.

The bundling features in ASP.NET MVC 4 were at best release candidate and at worst beta until mid summer. I can see why using them may have made some developer's leery. Adding these features now as indicated by several other commentators should not be difficult.
Sigh, if this guy had an actual 3D printer he would realize those doors and windows are a no-go :-) More seriously, there are unsolved issues in printing unsupported structures, the current best solution is a second 'support' material that can be dissolved/blown away once the part is completed but that rules out voids which are part of what you hope to make with this sort of thing.

Also as others point out this is just the frame (and if you do the robotic crane thing you can add a roof. You might also be able to use your robotic crane to do joists for overhangs but the finish suffers as your joist material is exposed on the underside.

No doubt solvable problems but they take away from some of the 'magicalness' of fused deposition printing. Stereo lithography where the part is neutrally bouyant in the construction fluid doesn't have those issues but it has other issues associated with strength and material choices that can be laser activated.

For now doing a concrete lay-up would be pretty killer but building the forms on site isn't that hard and in both cases you need to transport the concrete at the last minute.

Bottom line I think the stuff that BluHomes [1] is doing is much more creative than trying to do this with 3D printing.

Forget the custom-baby angle, did anyone catch this little nugget?

" Their tests cannot recognize every possible shade, but they are specific enough to distinguish between brown, blue and mottled brown-blue eyes, as well as brown, black, blonde and red hair. Such studies are intended to help solve crimes, but clinicians at fertility clinics could easily adapt the strategies for PGD. "

Sounds like a lot sooner (now?) law enforcement will be able to determine a lot more about a potential suspect with just DNA. Or am I not reading that correctly?

Yes I've seen the video's (a year ago). That's why I wonder why they didn't built a house already. They have the knowledge and tech.

I've only experienced Dallas summer heat, but no the breeze doesn't help. I would leave work and it would be ~105 F (40.56 C). I'd get in my car and roll down the windows until the A/C started working. The air that came in while driving would feel like the same temperature as the air in the car, like a hair dryer or something. It was like an omnipresent inescapable oven. Imagining THAT with 80% humidity sounds unbearable.

Can you describe what's wrong with it? I think it looks fine.
If I had the financial resources, and the science was well understood, I'd definitely consider it. I hold no sentimental attachment to the "natural" way of doing things -- cancer is natural, but that doesn't preclude me from seeking chemotherapy. Similarly, why wouldn't you use new medical science to make your baby as healthy as possible? And, if you've accepted "screening for genetic defects" as an acceptable use of the technology, why would "selecting for the most desirable traits" not be?

Nature and nurture are just two factors that contribute to a child's wellbeing and success in life. If you'd be willing to send your child to a private school in the hopes of giving them a better education and a leg-up on the competition, why not give them better looks and higher intelligence (were it possible), as well?

I've yet to see any convincing ethical arguments as to why this would be wrong. So far, every argument made in opposition to designer babies seems to boil down to "it's not natural". Well, neither is agriculture, medicine, the Internet... as a species, we've gotten to where we are by changing nature to suit us. Why should procreation be any different?

The entire traditional / medical / western / whatever you want to call it model of childbirth in New Jersey is very much about making you acutely aware of the things that you should be afraid of during the pregnancy. All of these things are detectable with a litany of very expensive tests! And you will be lectured and browbeaten to hell and back if you decline, so I imagine that factors heavily into the popularity of chromosome tests these days.

Summer goes away but you never get to enjoy real winter activities.

You should tell that to my skiing obsessed family. There are no fewer than 10 Ski resorts in the Tahoe Basin alone, much less all along the Sierras. And they are only a few hours away by car or train. Californians often espouse the opinion that we have "well behaved" snow, it stays in the mountains where it belongs :-)

But the point of getting out is always good. I try to take more walks in the winter months.

I know few developers who worked on Kentucky's Kynect. It's apparently been executed by many contractors like hcentive, CGI etc.

IMO, it would be inappropriate to single out state employees or the contractors and appreciate only one of them. Great execution or bad one is mostly an outcome of how capable and driven the executive team is.

WH: 'It's True' Some Americans Won't Be Able to Keep Their Health Care Plan
FWIW, during that time period (07/08), I talked with about 10 startups about joining as a founder or early employee. DropBox is the only one still in business today. So I think that the Paul Buchheit post that Joe linked is pretty accurate: "How to be right 90% of the time: predict it'll fail." It's just that you only need one success.

I've had other reasons for staying at Google as long as I have, though, and I wouldn't necessarily consider it a failure.

Failed 3 times at some of your more traditional ideas (think social media B2B or the like), relatively successful with freelancing. This was in the midwest,

That being said, I started the freelancing after dropping out of college in my 3rd year. After that, I metaphorically fell down some steps, through a concrete floor, got back up and decided to do stuff with data.

3 years later I'm backpacking in the valley doing sales AND implementing crazy deep learning data tech.

It seriously just takes persistence. Screw the naysayers. You SHOULD listen to criticism and consider it objectively though. Making money is a good guiding compass.

Most people just to expect VC to fall in to their lap. I don't understand the mentality of these consumer startups that are hoping for these instagram exits.

They'll spend years with no revenue, no freedom if they get funding, because they realize that they have responsibilities now. Not to mention the engineers they hire with the allure of a tennis table and beer on tap. What does that do for you? Now I'm doing more by myself than many teams could dream of.

I'm hoping to find the right cofounder if one comes along, but really the only thing that's missing to scale is a designer/hustler (yes both) .

Sadly true. I like a turn of phrase from Peopleware - "Status meetings are generally ways for the manager to assert their status as manager." I've had many an inexperienced manager sit there and rotate through talking to each minion in turn, while the other N-1 minions sat silently thinking about what they were going to have for lunch today. Even better are the "stand-up" meetings that have everybody sitting around for an hour every morning, totally killing any motivation or energy for the day.

Thankfully I've escaped that sort of nonsense, but it seems like it can pop up anywhere.

If you believe in the idea, 100%try to join them. You'll quickly discover if it makes sense to join them or not.

About 2 months ago my start up was approached by two recent college grads that had the same idea. After an hour conversation, we both agreed it made sense to join forces. We were much farther along than them with a superior product, but they had valuable ideas and resources to contribute. It took a little while to agree on terms that made sense, but in the end it worked out very well. Well, we're far from the end, but so far it's been great.
