Yes, that was definitely the original intent of tenure. However, times have changed. I believe most professors just want good pay and benefits. I'm sure most would be willing to exchange tenure protections for this along with better job mobility and latitude. However, that's just conjecture.
(1) Judging attraction from a profile is very difficult, so you can go spend a lot of time and energy going on dates with someone who is obviously wrong for you.

(2) Many, perhaps most people, misrepresent themselves in their profiles, making "shopping" all the harder. In my experience this is true of women, but women say that men lie too.

Attraction is much easier to sense in person. Once you're attracted, the answers to a bunch of fact-based questions don't matter so much.
I'm not sure I agree with this entirely, yes you have to learn some new skills but it's still important to focus on your strengths - just learn to delegate the other things. Steve Jobs is a great example of this in practice, by all accounts not so good at management but he made damn good products!

I watched most of it yesterday. It was a fascinating post-mortem of a software project.

What I saw was a small minority of politicians that seemed to have a handle on some of the technological challenges at-hand. Some politicians used their time to score political points completely unrelated to the technology issues - basically "our party is good / your party is bad" idiocy. Some politicians read prepared smart-sounding questions which they wouldn't be able to rephrase in another-way if they were asked to. One politician asked for a copy of the server logs so that Congress could get to the bottom of what was going wrong. And none of the company representatives were willing to accept that they'd done much wrong - instead taking every opportunity to blame people or entities not in the room.
Thanks! Yes, I definitely want to do that. There's still some work I want to do on the library itself, then I'll start working on the service :)
What if delegation is your weakness (as it is for most of us)?
Has anyone here read The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter, by Meg Jay? As a young 20-year-old female, the chapter on relationships and marriage was, to put it politely, terrifying. If you don't start having kids by 30, the chance of it being possible in your mid-late 30s is slim. So - kids by 30, you want to have about 1 year of marriage kid-free, you want to date your future spouse for 4-5 years before marriage.... Do that math and basically who you're dating at age 23 (me) is who you're ending up with.

Terrifying.

We've got loads of German bunkers here in Jersey and I often think of what else they could be used for. Our neighbour has converted one to a totally soundproof media room, for example. The larger ones are of historic value and are being restored, but there are some good reasons to use the medium-sized ones for server rooms.

The temperature is naturally very cool inside, and they all have superb ventilation due to the air filters installed in case of chemical attack (Hitler was gassed in WW1 and so obsessed with gas locks & ventilation).

Physical security, that's obvious. Even those that were partially destroyed after the war were made safe by pouring more concrete to re-seal them.

Totally agree. One of the thoughts that came to my mind is that a public project like this one sh(c)ould be open source right from the beginning. That would solve a lot of quality issues on one hand, and probably the pricing will also be better for the Government/taxpayers.

While I am pretty sure that most congressmen do not get it, but there are some very qualified and awesome technical people who work in the Government. Probably, someone has to have the balls and call it open source one fine day.
I like the point being made here: building a product is hard. But once you've built it, you have a new mountain to climb: building a business.

In our startup culture, "building the business" is usually delegated to a new CEO, brought in from the outside. I don't think it has to be that way. Managing a business is hard, but it's just a new challenge. Founders don't have to give their business to someone else to manage.

I think I internalized this attitude early on, and I'm still trying to shed it. Are things better elsewhere? If so, where? I'm already an ambitious person, I'm just sick of thinking I have to make something of myself.

The IPython Notebook is part of the IPython interactive computing environment[1]. You must to install IPython locally(or in the cloud) and run the notebook web server to load and execute the notebook's code live in the browser. These are static HTML representations of the notebooks, think of them as previews, but you can download the JSON .ipynb file and load it up in your IPython Notebook environment and execute the code.

The benefit of the IPython Notebook is sharable JSON file and interactive REPL-like environment that blends code, results, and narrative prose.

On one hand he's alarmed that enrollment data may not be properly protected. On the other hand, he's protecting an agency that's requiring technology companies to create back-doors and weaken encryption algorithms for the NSA's convenience. How are those two objectives not in conflict?
As in any profession, there is a spectrum.

Graduating from a top 5 law program, clerking for a Supreme Court justice, being a partner or on partner-track in a top firm, teaching at a top university - this represents the 1% among the legal profession, and very high status.

Being an "average" lawyer from an "average" tier law program means average status, unless you break out from that and do something exceptional or entrepreneurial.
Jersey => Channel Island, correct?

Um, it's pretty explainable by the following theory:

"Men put more work up front -- making the first move, taking the women out and showing them a good time, etc. Women put more work once the relationship gets going (i.e. after much sex has been had). They put up with their guy's frustrating habits and work to advance the relationship forward."

Now, this is a description of the MAJORITY of interactions, not all, of course.

What I meant was that the 'hate' made me look for legit reasons to switch, and I can't see anything besides "is a better language". By the way, our main competitors switched to Python and Scala.
I don't think it's possible to "crack that" -- while many people will agree that they suck, there won't be any agreement on exactly how, and why, and what the ideal would look like.

In reality, they suck no worse than any other way of meeting people.

One thing that might help, would be reducing noise that women have to deal with -- e.g. by limiting number of messages users can send per day, or something like that...
Think of it like this:

1. Any application layer is in effect a transform, with security and sanity constraints, on user input.

2. There is at least the degenerate case where user input does not need to be transformed, only constrained

3. And about those constraints. CouchDB requires you write a validation function, and it lives inside the database, again obviating the need for that logic in the application layer.

4. What was your anxiety again?

As other people said: for most sites the model is just broken.

The website needs a large amount of potential matches on the site. So, once you sign up your profile is never removed. That means people looking sometimes have to trawl through dead profiles.

You earn money by charging people money. Sometimes that's for reading messages people send you. Sometimes it's for replying to messages. Many sites send fake messages.

Many sites are run by a small number of operators and they buy and sell profile information among themselves. This would be unacceptable if the profiles were genuine, but they're often fake. So there are huge amounts of fake people sending fake messages to real people on websites just to get them to pay to subscribe.

But even the good sites have problems. See, for example, OkCupid. (which is a very good site.) There's a small number of people on there who have little intention of actually dating. They're just meeting online people. OKC have taken steps to reduce that (really, they should have opened up a pay-for forums, a bit like suicidegirls. SG had "come for the titties, stay for the forums", OKC could have "Come for the dating, stay for the community". (Yes, I'd like a free sub if you ever do that, OKC)

Or people just have wildly unrealistic expectations.

And, on top of all that, you have the regular suckiness of dating.
One of the founders at the startup I work with recently shared this quote with the team:

"Effective teams have diverse personalities essential for balanced decision-making, but still share core values."

It almost looks like you know the answer yourself.
I'm sorry this is how the article came across to you. Given similar sentiments from others on this thread I'll see if I can amend it to make it more clear.

When our CTO came onboard I meant to say that he gave a hard look at our development process, not so much the technology stack itself. I agree it's confusing since the post is about Technology Change and I'm probably confusing the point further by mentioning both the earlier process transition when our CTO came onboard and then the later Scala technology change.

Thanks for your feedback.

EDIT: I've updated my post to elaborate on why a new CTO was brought into the organization.

Hah, right. I'll gloss over the number of assumptions about me that you make and we'll just address the real crux of the issue.

Biking 15 miles to work is not practical in 100+ degree weather with humidity averaging between 60 and 90 percent. Moving to be within biking distance of work is not practical when jobs change every few years and there are two of us living in the house which is fairly central to both workplaces.

Hear about where? Is information about the attitudes that people in previous eras held towards marriage between different classes something you commonly run across just in daily life?
I think there's more to it than just the ratios. It's also that women are the selectors, and are more picky than men. If you line up ten men and ten woman along two parallel number lines, each numbered 1-10, and then perform simulations where they randomly pair off, with men willing to pair with anyone -2 of their level and above, and women willing to pair off with anyone equal to their level and above, you end up with one or two unpaired women at the top and one or two unpaired men at the bottom.

Notice this article is bemoaning the sad state of those unpaired women at the top, but makes no mention of the unpaired men at the bottom who are suffering just as much, if not more so.

That's the thing, we have no experience with Python, including deploying, testing and all the nuances of the language, so I was looking for examples where it's so much better than PHP.

Interesting analogy. I'm not sure the process to create a software product and to create paintings share much though...building a successful software product is inherently a team effort. You may have a few leaders influencing the direction but every successful product I've worked on depended on good decisions made by the whole team.
It's astonishing that having a serious relationship or not is such a planned decision for some. Do people really break up with someone they love just because they're "not ready" or keep going with someone they don't love just because they decided it's time to settle down?

That's weird. It all sounds rather medieval to me. I hope this is all just the kind of selective stream of colorful anecdotes that journalists are so fond of.
It sounds like a really good idea. I was ready to sign up, then I read the TOS and just can't do it.

I understand the reason that sites need to be indemnified in order to display my content on the site. But, allowing an unrestricted, perpetual license to my content (even after I close my account) to the site, AND all other users, is crazy.

If the product and service is good, offer it with those TOS removed, and I'll pay for it.

Ummm.... many people are now legally required to buy insurance, and this marketplace is the only option for many of those people. Saying "use the system or pay a fine, oh and by the way the system doesn't work" is not the same comparison to many other "1.0" systems which are optional to use.
This is why marriage and civilization was invented. 80% per cent of men in their 20s not getting women would lead to revolution in earlier times, but today TV, internet and plentiful food distract them from this.

Eastern cultures (india/china etc) have a relative advantage now, precisely because of their culture. Think of all the lost productivity from emotional hardships from most men in their 20s and lots of women in their 30s in western countries.

Yes. But it is demo code, meaning that the use case isn't production, it's education.

I guarantee that the contractors involved were loaded with a significant number of Java & Microsoft certified developers. Furthermore, I'd guarantee that the Big Dig, et al, were loaded with certified "real" engineers. Certification (even some fancy "project management" certification) doesn't get you any guarantees of project quality as a whole.

If anything, I'd expect a focus on certification to decrease quality. Those things are expensive & time-consuming and the only ones who invest in them are the people who expect to be in that consulting ecosystem for a long time.

There are processes, not certifications, that result in generally high-quality projects (see NASA's processes) at the cost of being incredibly slow and expensive.

I know what you're saying, but I also feel that one needs to consider the perspectives. Like they say, grass is greener. He was just not into Hawaii, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Personally, I hated living in the SF Bay Area. It was just not for me either. I know, I know. People think I'm nuts. But, after 10 years of living there, I finally understood my math professor. I was like, "Wow, I can't imagine professor Lady going through something like what I'm going through for over 30 years!" I really felt for him. By the time I finally left the Bay Area, I was utterly burnt out by big city, fast paced life. It made me the person who I am today: one foot out the door at all times. My wife and I moved around several times in the years since, and now that we're back in California living in a smaller coastal city, I realized what I hated about being in the Bay Area: it's just too big, too much of a rat race. Although I love living where we're at now, I can eventually see myself growing tired of it.

And, that's the perspective, I think, you're missing out on. You are seeing things from your own perspective. I know that perspective well, too. I lived it for 10 years. I was a techie; I was always wary of being laid off; I had crap for vacations; I was ALWAYS learning new stuff; and as techies, we're always crapped on. I had business envy and thought of going to business school. So, I see your perspective. But, I also see his.

Being in Hawaii, or any other small town/city, can get very old and tiresome. Several of the Hawaii math professors eventually gave up tenure and moved away to do other things. It makes one wonder about why these guys would be willing to give up a highly sought after thing in academia, tenure, to move away and start a new life. I think my old professor provides a good explanation, at least for some people, about why that happens. At least, it did for me.
