> Certainly Linux systems can use LDAP.

I think the operative word here is "can." Active Directory allows you to actively reject machines from your network that are not part of the Domain and it can prevent you from extricating a machine from the Domain to circumvent restrictions imposed upon the machine, the user, the location, or any other myriad of configurable factors.

It would surprise me if there was something you couldn't do to on a nix machine that you could do with Active Directory on a Windows based PC but the time and maintenance involved are in no way proportional. The full featured and easy to use tool-chain was what made Microsoft great, and they lost that with overly complicated systems in the 2000s but they seem to be getting back on the right path with Powershell and their Core Server administration tools.

Additionally Active Directory is an LDAP provider so it's relatively easy to integrate nix machines into an AD environment.

Fair comment. I suppose I mean that The Beatles were a large catalyst in shifting culture, in that they mark the beginning of rock and roll and TV-casted, stadium-oriented performance and stardom. More importantly, this was a new wave in massively widespread pop culture that perhaps would have been weaker or absent without them.

Let me be clear - I'm not saying they invented or caused the shift. (Which I suppose I said before.) I'm saying they were incredibly influential to pop culture, to a massive degree. (This isn't fanboy talk, so I won't be upset on this thread whatsoever.)

Durandal and Knockout make a great combination for SPA applications. My only gripe about Knockout is that some of the useful built-in utilities (ko.utils) are not officially documented anywhere and of course the observable syntax can get unwieldy at times (parentheses) and difficult to maintain (this can be remedied by durandal.observable plugin if we target newer browsers, though).
scala is the unholy child of everything from oo and everything from fp (well, almost).

(but i found it hard enough to program in ocaml, which is similar to f#, because i was always torn between oo and fp parts, so maybe i am biased or just Too Dumb For Scala)

Yeah, you can find basically identical complaints (not always prestige-format essays though) from bio, chem and physics PhD's. Those job markets are nearly as bad as humanities and social sciences. And since pharma is in a state of disarray, the job prospects in industry aren't so hot either.

Erm, just because you buy a new bike doesn't mean you stop owning and driving a car.

When I was living in Vienna we had 2 cars and 3 bikes for the family.

Bikes were replaced more often, I needed to buy a bike twice in 5 years due to the original ones being stolen. Kept my car the whole time.

Not exactly sure what this article is trying to show. Bad statistics?

Not to argue in their favor, but honestly reading the headline and comments like this one I was expecting a more serious and dire allegation than ... astroturfing.

I mean it's bad, but large corporations get caught doing this nonsense routinely. It only becomes a "scum bag move" in the context of a bigger geek platform flame. Honestly this doesn't belong on the front page.
It's significant when you look at the numbers of people who commute on their bike daily rather than their car. In Copenhagen something like 50% of adults ride their bike to work. I'm sure it's the same in e.g. the Netherlands.
Code is harder because editing text is harder. Text input and manipulation is just not very good on tablets. Even if you plug a keyboard into iOS editing is still worse than WordPerfect circa 1988.

It's fairly obvious that you have no clue how SSL actually works.

Do you honestly think that it would make sense to set up a completely new domain for each and every user? Do you have any idea what a nightmare that would be to support? Do you think it would be cost effective to spend $50/year per user to implement such a system?

And do you really think that SSL has anything at all to do with the encryption used for storing data inside his system?
The claim here is that in almost every European state bikes are outselling cars. I don't think this is the case in the US as the stats you provide show figure that are quite close collectively which suggests to me some variance among individual figures in a state versus state analysis.
This is only tangentially related to the article, but I'd like to say one of the reasons why bikes aren't more popular in many American cities is because the road systems give no thought to bikes at all. I vacationed to the bay area recently, where bikes seem comparatively more popular, and noted the difference in roads between there and where I live. It wasn't so much that the bay area was good for bikes, but just kept them in mind. When there wasn't a bike path, there was a paved shoulder. When there wasn't a paved shoulder, there were signs and markings to help bikes and cars share the road.

Where I live, it approaches dangerous to bike on the road. When a road has a speed limit of 45 mph, turns, and no shoulder at all, it's difficult to bike. This is not in a rural area.
This is brilliant, and brings to mind Marco Arment's excellent Bugshot[1] for iOS. Of course, this won't work for more complex interaction bugs, but perhaps support for animated GIFs could be added?

Edit: just seen the pricing, $19/mo seems a bit steep, and there's no free tier, just a trial. Shame. They're positioning it as an integrated bug reporting solution, but I think it would get more adoption as an atomic tool with more approachable pricing.

I think this is a huge part of the problem. As the article mentions, 'Data from American colleges show 20 per cent of males - the most attractive ones - get 80 per cent of the sex'.

This means, when women are in their early twenties, they're use to being in relationships or hooking up with the most attractive men. Although I hate ratings, let's say men 8-10, are getting together with all the women 5-10. This can't work in the long run, because people partner up 1-1, so those 8-10 men end up married to 8-10 women. What happens with all these women 5-7? They spent their twenties with men 8-10, and now they're left with their equals, men 5-7, so they feel like they're settling, or stepping down. At the same time, men feel like they're dating up, because they never received attention from these women before. Meanwhile, they're equal, but prior history leaves this skewed perspective.

In short, average women in their twenties get attention from great guys. As people begin to settle down, average women are only left with average men, and they're left wondering where all the good men have gone.

Being focussed is the key when you want to be successful as an entrepreneur. Finding the right one until you found the right one is the most distracting thing.
I wish I could use my bike all year long but the truth is that for someone living in Canada (I'm guessing it's similar for some northern states too), it's impossible to bike half the year. Some brave folks do it but it's quite dangerous. For someone who has lived in Amsterdam many years it's a sad realization that my city will never become a bike haven.

I have a lot of industry experience in technology (a LOT!). I also have a lot friends and family with big money that believe in me.

I have been working for startups for almost 18 years now, but never my "own". Always for big companies or CEO's making them a lot of money.

I actually found the 1.3 to 1.4 upgrade to be much more work than 1.4 to 1.5. But that was because I'd been using the old style directory layout, so the whole project structure had to change. And I never used function based generic views very heavily, so that didn't factor in very much.

These articles are always oddly delusional about the number of high achieving women. They seem to think having the job title "lawyer" means high status. I'm not convinced this trope of lonely "high achieving" women is a phenomenon with any numerical significance.
I don't want to misunderstand your math but I might be doing so.

55 men, 45 women
80% of the men are in stable relationships
80% x 55 men = 44 men
44 men with 44 out of 45 women leaves 1 woman remaining, 11 men remaining, for an even worse ratio of 11 free men to 1 woman.

Or did I follow you wrong?
I'm curious to know what can be done to subvert this form of control both online and in the real world. Zersetzung sounds incredibly frightening and you're 100% correct that that's the direction we're going.
Out of my graduating class of 80 physics PhD's I think one went in academia, a woman.
On the assumption that the conclusions reached here are reasonably accurate and the generalizations aren't based on utter mistakes, and with the understanding that even in that case this is still just a set of conclusions and conjectures based on averages or pluralities leaving many people to which it's simply not relevant...

...making those assumptions, I'm trying hard not feel just a little smug when realizing I'm one of those approaching-middle-aged men who's suddenly a lot more attractive (effectively) than ten years ago.

I don't sleep around rampantly, and never have, but I am with a 20-something woman (and part of that first paragraph I wrote comes in because I didn't pick her to settle down or because she's a 10, nor is that why she's with me). The description of relationships in that age range did make me think a bit.

I'm trying not to feel smug because that's a terrible reaction: It's the same way you'd expect a hot 20-something girl to feel knowing she can get any guy she wants, at least temporarily. And feeling smug about this ignores the fact that, whether women who do fit this profile were jerks in their younger years or not, they're now more mature, more experienced, and facing prospects that just aren't pleasant and make the rest of their lives -- which they've worked hard for -- a lot more uncertain than they had reason to expect before. Regardless of how carelessly or inconsiderately you spent the romantic pursuits your younger years, if this is the problem you face, I can manage at least some sympathy.

That said... I still can't shake the doubts I expressed at the start. I obviously haven't seen the data or anything, but it's hard to look at this and say "yep, I have no doubt their methods are good and their conclusions are representative."
The evidence clearly indicates that bike ridership follows continuous bike infrastructure. When a city builds more and better bike lanes - especially protected cycle tracks and neighbourhood greenways - the rate of cycling shoots up.
Definitively. Urban planning in N-A cities is focused on how to have cars circulate/park as efficiently as possible, unlike most European cities. Car lanes are large, sidewalks and bike lanes are slim. Lights instead of roundabouts, parking garages instead of bike racks.
The tooling argument can go both ways. For instance Visual Studio + Resharper is much much better than any option for Java. The Java profilers are nearly useless when compared to something like Red Gate and the integration with Sql Server on the MS stack makes database programming much easier.

The Microsoft build ecology is a little bit more mixed bag, but when compared to the explosion of choices for Java between Ant/Maven/Ivy etc. I'm not sure which I prefer.

As far as languages, working in C# makes working in Java so painful. C# makes so many better language/library decisions. The problem is that the JVM is a very compelling target platform (much more so than being stuck on Windows).

With those constraints Scala is a very nice language to use. In fact I dread every minute I have to spend in Java. Further everyone I know personally who has spent time in Scala feels the same way. I've literally never met anyone in person who prefers Java to either C# or Scala from a language point of view.

That is how SSL is intended to work. You cannot have more than one SSL certificate for a given domain. That is an intentional design decision by the committee that created the SSL RFC.

You don't run your ASP.NET MVC on Linux boxes, though. On non-IIS web servers, and likely you use SQL Server and the LINQ libraries....unless you'r using Mono (which has a lot of hurt involved to do so, especially once you start getting in with external libraries that your application might depend on).

in general, when people mention ".NET STACK", they're talking about the whole-shebang, not a single library that might happen to be OSS when the other 100 libraries you're dependent on aren't.
I've also heard that the UK collects such statistics in different ways than as compared to the US.

For instance, my understanding is that in the UK a death by gunshot is not reported as a homicide until someone is convicted of said homicide. Even then, it is reported as a homicide for the year of the conviction, not of the death. Granted, I don't recall the source for this so I could be completely wrong. On the other hand, if someone is shot to death in the US and it doesn't appear to be self-inflicted, it's a homicide. If the person was shot in self-defense, it's justified homicide. Another granted though, this is a very simplistic explanation.

Anyway, my point being is that if two countries don't collect and categorize the data the same way then any type of comparison is pointless.

I've also seen the thought tossed out there that if you remove gang-related violence from the US statistics then the gun crime rate drops dramatically. Meaning that in most places in the US the gun crime rate is mostly on par with the safest places in the world. It's just the gang problems in major cities are elevating the averages.

Agree with you up a point. But I don't think this is a BMW/Ford issue.

I do think that glued in memory is a dumb thing. Memory is almost like a consumable and prices tend to vary dramatically within the service life of a laptop. Bigger chips come out, prices drop, etc. If 1% of the population is capable of doing a trackpad or screen replacement, 15% are capable of doing a ram upgrade.

Also your needs change. I never did video editing, ever -- then we had a baby. That new need drove me to upgrade my 2008 iMac, as it just didn't have the juice. Memory is different, there are lots of elegant ways to approach that problem without compromising the design aesthetic -- in fact Apple has done this with other computers.

Saying "buy a Ford" isn't a useful response. Apple is the sole owner of the Mac OS platform. I can buy an HP laptop, but I miss out on the value that the platform brings -- I don't want Windows or Linux.
I guess I'd divide the research world like this:

1) Pie in the sky research that is beyond the 20 year time horizon of long-view companies and 10 year time horizon of VCs.

2) Research that is amenable to teaching people how to research.

3) Research to advance one's career.

4) Research that is relatively close to Development.

There are overlaps, and it can be hard to differentiate between the types until after the fact, but let's go with this model.

#1 has to be funded federally (i.e. NSF), via philanthropy (i.e. Gates Foundation) or as a monopoly concession (i.e. Bell Labs). This can belong in the University or elsewhere, and may or may not be tied to teaching.

#2 belongs in Universities, as it helps generate the next generation of scholars.

#3 should not be financed by taxpayers. It's also hard to justify this in aggregate coming from tuition. Do we really need more papers on Ancient History, or should we invest the same money in better teaching? I understand you need to be an expert to teach, but it seems like a lot of publishing is purely to generate citations.

#4 If these people can get real world jobs, why not send them to the real world where rather than stay in a profession with very scarce jobs?
That's such a sad dynamic. One of the best ways to make yourself a smarter/better person is to spend time with someone who's a smarter/better person than you are. Obviously income does not correlate perfectly with how smart/good a person is, but there is certainly some correlation. And who do you spend more time with than your wife?

My wife is the chief of family medicine at a small hospital; not surprisingly she makes more than I do. One way that we've sidestepped the issue is how our incomes come in. She has a steady job, I play the startup lottery. You can't directly compare the incomes.
It's not men initiating the divorces it's overwhelmingly women (overall too but especially in income disparity situations).

Its still doable even at those temperatures - here is what I do (though I don't use the bike when its snowing, yet):

1. Dress well. Its especially important to fully cover your face (except eyes), ears and hands. Winter hat, scarf, gloves are always mandatory.

Legs may also need good (multi-layered) coverage but its not that critical. The number of layers for the rest of the body varies with the temperature

2. Don't overexert yourself. Avoid getting to a point where you're breathing too quickly or too deeply - this can be painful and can trigger breathing problems. If your breathing starts getting deeper and faster, slow down.

Basically, its much better to overdress and go slower than to under-dress and try to go fast to compensate with body-heat. Most cyclists will claim the contrary, but the contrary only applies after having some experience (or for people who just can't bear to go slow).

3. Carry extra layers of clothes with you. You never know if the layers you need in the morning will be the same as the layers you need in the afternoon.
I'd imagine it also has a lot to do with climate. Where I live is too hot and humid to bike most months out of the year without having to take a shower when I get where I was going. Not really practical.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm a new developer and would be interested in this perspective. If they have a new, energized staff that is shipping software on time and have old, untouched software that still works and communicates with the new software, what is the problem with that?

Looks like many agree with you, so I'm really curious about what problems arise long-term from decisions like that.

I mean...our legacy code is in BASIC...but if they told me I needed to maintain the BASIC programs, I would probably quit.
I guess you could close all your applications and watch traffic with Wireshark for a while, since antivirus software doesn't seem to be very proactive in this cases.

Fortunately this kind of exploits seem to go for the low-hanging fruit: outdated plugins like Java, Flash or Acrobat. If you have any of those enabled and not up-to-date, you're vulnerable.

The sensible recommendation seems to be use some form of click-to-play scheme, depending on your browser.
Two things that might interest you:

(1) "organised" is the most common spelling in the UK and is not incorrect anywhere;

(2) when you use "sic" inside a quotation, you put it in square brackets, to show that it's not part of the original quotation but something added. Also, if the quote is in italics you set the "sic" in upright type, and vice versa, because it is a foreign (Latin) word.

Otherwise, good point.
