My eldest was identical - gender neutral toys when she was small, a yellow-painted bedroom, no particular bias for or against pink (she had some pink clothes, but not all), then... Bam! Pink! She turned 4 or 5 (I forget) and suddenly her life was a pink tinged fantasy of Disney Princesses, Barbie etc. No idea why.
Can we please stick to standard English.

Either you have rich grand/great-grandparents or we come from VERY different places. My family has been historically poor up until my dad, who is just middle class now. Both sides of my family have struggled until death. I don't know of anyone other than maybe one or two who had parents growing up that had "built a life of their own," then married and started a family in their very late 20s.
We really don't know, if enough effort is put here, in terms of expertise and cpu power, I think that it will be very hard for him to cash out somehow. Especially if other exchangers support this kind of witch-hunt. You could write a program to trace the addresses 24/7 and do the math. It's kinda complicated, with mixers, but with kind of sum... It's not easy to hide/cash out without getting noticed.
You could take one of those 7/11 cabinets where you scan a bar code to open it, and put it in a truck. Then an automated system calls, and asks where you are (i'm at my office xyz fake street) the car shows up around an agreed upon window, then calls you. You walk out to the truck, pick up your item, and it goes to the next person.

I would pay extra for that because I hate it when they leave a note because i'm getting my pants on.
if you are watching, modersky, please appreciate that a big reason these articles get upvoted is because people want to discuss Scala. many of the comments are positive :D

i for one see value in Scala, for many of the reasons outlined here, though I am experimenting and thinking it through for myself. the more interaction i have with it the more i see it as a marriage of several great worlds. One could argue that this makes for a jack-of-all-trades scenario. but let's be honest, that is what the web world seems to be demanding.

& now, to fan the flames the tiniest bit -- when I was in the RoR ecosystem it made me absolutely sick how fervently the user-base seemed to glorify and idolize it. Go to any random blog post on the internet that paints Rails negatively and you will see a stream of tl;dr comments defending it that have almost NO technical basis. just my experience anyway... and in many cases all they seemed to be defending was syntactic sugar, a tangled web of OO, and mediocre gems. But my real disappointment was that the culture of convention seemed to be a cultural of programming ignorance and non-education.

This does not mean I hate RoR, since these discussions are irrelevant. But the point is that I appreciate that Martin's views are at least rooted in programming philosophy rather than hype-mongering for or against. Scala is a student's language at the very least, whereas many other popular web languages are an uninspired grouping of OO conventions. He seems to want to educate, moreso than proselytize. Perhaps this simply makes him the devil's advocate but I see the potential for Scala to be much more than an exercise. And if some other JVM language gets a better foothold, I doubt Mr. Odersky will mentally implode. I expect more Scala ecosystem advancements far into the future.
Scala implement tail call optimization in the compiler. In general the JVM has always outperformed the CLR:

IntelliJ IDEA 13 released
How to get 1M pageviews before launching your product
Intel’s Mashery acquires hackathon management platform Hacker League
Welcome to ad-supported content!
From what I understand, starting with V13 personal licenses will include 1 year free upgrades. I thought V12 licenses younger than 1 year will work with V13, but that's not the case. I like the IDE, but I will stick with v12 for now.
That was really freaking long.

I can't help but notice the recurring theme that the actual game designers are trying to make fun gender-neutral products but the marketing and leadership is the source of misogyny. I mean, when they start talking about the PS1 era their examples are WipeOut (the only "gendered" thing in the game is the announcer) Tomb Raider (Croft has somewhat absurd proportions but she's a far cry from the kind of exploitative stuff you see in the Dead or Alive games and whatnot) and Gran Turismo (masculine only by the technicality that it's about cars).

I'm a guy, so this is obviously a "check my privilege" thing, but I feel like the misogyny of the gaming industry (and geek culture at large) didn't really take hold until console gaming went online and the collective sea of poop-throwing 4channers got their he-man-woman-haters club into games. The games were targeted at boys well before then, and the themes got heavily masculine in the mid-'90s with the FPS revolution... but the active You Are Not Welcome thing seemed to take hold later.

I mean, obviously geek culture was a bit unsettling for women before then because the combined awkward sexual frustration of a zillion nerds isn't exactly comfortable to be around, but I don't think the outright hatred of women had taken hold.

It seems like the door was open... not so much, anymore.

Well, even Indy had to tone down the cars for places like Texas Motor Speedway because the drivers were passing out in the corners. Daytona and Talladega are run with restrictor plates in NASCAR for much the same reason.

I would not call his roomate genius in context the article infers.

But, noticing extreme lack of interest in modifying your enviroment in a practical way (or lack of perception that your enviroment can be easily improved) amongst the general populace, yeh. He's an outstanding dude. These things tend to be uncommon.

It's not genius though. Far from it. Don't devalue genius.
Naw, just go ahead and commit that if you like. That's too much easier to be worth the fork/checkout/commit/push/pull request cycle work in this case.
Yep. IntelliJ is an IDE and Platform. In regards to ReSharper... stay tuned for an awesome upcoming webinar in February, ReSharper Secrets w/Igal Tabachnik. We will announce here in January: blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/
At what point in history was it ever easy for liberal arts folks? Unless you were commissioned by someone to do something lucrative, you're pretty much shit on your entire life. Whether it's undervalued or not is debatable, but I will say that nothing has changed as far as perception of liberal arts other than some broader acceptance.

What has changed is that pretty much everyone goes to college now, and many of them go for liberal arts degrees. You can't have 1000 people going for 1 job and expect them all to get it.

You could list thousands of ways that "terrorists" could terrorize in rather cost-effective and simple ways. And yet they don't do any of them.

It is quite evident by the very nature of the lack of effective "terrorist" activities that "terrorism" is just another boogie-man to replace the cold war red scare boogie man that keeps the government spigot on full throttle.

The real "terrorists" are the thieves within that coyly played right into "terrorist" actions and are pilfering and wealth-redistributing from the bottom up, and from future generations to their own larva.

I think that there are many other factors (law enforcement policies, gun control policies, economic climate...) that would affect raw crime rates much more than violent video games (in any way or the other).

If there is an effect of sorts, it's probably lost among the various other factors.
Now, there is a whole generation of 20-somethings that grew up staring at the screen and shooting people and monsters, and crime rates have not gone up

Accordingly, I don't think marketing can change our desires and behaviour.

But first person shooters and the marketing thereof were never intended to make people more violent. They are designed to make people like and play more first person shooters. Even the crazies who claim games do make people violent, mostly don't claim that making people violent are their intended purpose.
I'm still looking forward to the 'Sublime Text'-like column mode selection feature[1], currently the top voted feature request, which will be an excellent addition to IntelliJ. Unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait until version 14 for this.

It's a great IDE and totally worth the money.
Hm, is that a general rule? My son is not yet in school, so I don't know what it is like these days.

Also "like pink" is different from owning the occasional pink thing. I suppose a boy who would dress exclusively in pink would stand out, and maybe the bullies would try to cut him down. Still, I suspect it is not a large scale problem - obviously I don't condone the actions of such bullies, I mean there are probably not that many boys who would prefer to dress all in pink. (I didn't research that, though - in any case everybody should be allowed to like/wear whatever they want).
I worry a bit that you might be confusing liberal arts and fine arts.

I've never had serious musical training, but I've spent a lot of time picking tunes with old folkies. A lot of those guys are absolutely the same when it comes to this sort of creativity, and I picked up a lot of advice that I like to think has stuck with me ever since. I remember I was nervous as hell when I'd just started heading along to jams - here was me, having learned a bit about scales and a few chords, yet wondering how I could ever contribute to the wonderful sounds this group was creating. It was an old gentleman in his 70s who just turned around, saw me sat there overwhelmed, trying to figure out what was going on, and said "We've got seven notes in a scale, and most of these tunes'll barely use half of 'em!".

Music, at its heart, is the ultimate in making do with what you have - I just think that folkies are more likely to admit it!
I recently came across this new Clojure book:

It's not classic FRP, but you're basically describing core.async. Have you looked at that at all?

Fantastic Cartography Tips From the Guy Who Mapped Game of Thrones
"He is seen here being welcomed back", in an overtly provocative pose. "More programmers to care for", indicating that this is her duty in the company, to "care" for the programmers.

And it doesn't matter if it was meant to be parsed that way. No, the add doesn't outright say "We hire prostitutes to suck your dick at your desk." It doesn't have to say that. But it is being parsed that way by a large number of people. From the looks of this thread, you are in the minority of people who think it is not that way. So what is the difference if it was or was not meant to make a female viewer feel like she is not as important as her male coworkers? The effect is the same. Even if you are right, it is STILL sexist for being so fundamentally inconsiderate.

It's not about being feminist. It's about being humane. There shouldn't even be a term called "feminist", the default should be to treat women as having equal status as men. It shouldn't be a revelation in need of a special name to believe that.

And the fact that you can't see it means you're prone to it as well, and probably towards other groups of people beyond just "women". It's the fallacy of the super-villain: nobody thinks they themselves are the bad guy. Bad behavior is a matter of habit and attitude and prejudice is a matter of lack of respect.

Sexism doesn't end with banning sexually overt behavior in the office. Sexism isn't even about sex any more than racism is about slavery. I would even go so far as to say that a man who talks over a woman in a meeting, but listens intently while another man is talking, is more sexist than a man who flirts with the women in the office. It's about power, and using ones power to give favor to some and deny favor to some others, for no reason other than "they aren't like me".
Really love this IDE.. superb
Auto-completion of Maven GAV and full screen mode are two of the many small features they've added in this release that I've enjoyed. I've been using the EAP for a few months and can't really say what's different between 12 and 13 anymore, I've forgotten about 12, but I know I've been pleasantly surprised consistently enough to happily pay $99 for an upgrade.
No, because you only need one example to prove that it is possible (and that, therefore, marketing can change our perceptions of cultural norms).

I don't agree: computer games magazines were huge back then, I remember reading and re-reading the reviews at school with my mates, even without the internet it wasn't hard to find out if a game was any good or not.

For this reason, I think this whole drone thing is silly. By the time this is economically practical, you'll be better off with a self-driving car and a secondary ground delivery robot. Adding the complication of flinging them through the air isn't worth it.

(It may actually simplify the programming, which is probably why we're talking about this at all, but regardless of how great the programming is, it's just not going to be as safe to have these flying through the air, loaded with kinetic energy, through low-level airspace, as it will for them to be on the ground, rolling along, safely.)
Interesting to note how the (trigger warning: cisgendered heterosexual male) COBOL programmers get ladies with ease, yet the fancy modern (cisgendered heterosexual male) Ruby programmers have to resort to constantly showing how non-sexist they are in a vain attempt to attract the opposite sex.

Almost makes me want to learn COBOL.
To be fair, being pretty is a good strategy for women. I feel reminded of a recent Sam Altman article where he wrote "sadly, learning Ruby on Rails in <some short amount of time> is still a viable strategy".

Likewise, sadly concentrating on being pretty is a viable strategy for women. It's not that they can't do anything else, but they have this option (much more so than men).
None of those will lose if there's a renaissance in the JVM platform. Go is a competitor to C more than the JVM, and is a FOSS Google product that's becoming their 4th official language and is not going away. Clojure is part and parcel of that JVM renaissance. And Node is coming to dominate client-side development by underpinning an emerging build tool standard - Gruntjs, and arguably the CommonJS-based Browserify, which will dwarf the parts of Node that compete with the JVM. None of these are heavily threatened by a server-side JVM renaissance.

NASCAR has road tracks so stop the stupid and tell the truth.

I like NASCAR because F1 feels too teched up and NASCAR doesn't even give the driver a fuel gauge or speedometer. Plus all that weight and those small breaks. And just to stop another stereotype, I hate wrecks and cautions and I haven't met anyone who does.

NASCAR is also the most fan friendly sport with a huge amount of fan interaction with the drivers and cars. NASCAR fans can even go on the actual track in training vehicles.
Digital audio and video recording devices in the vehicle were also affected.

Tools and equipment: It seems that the roommate did not use a lot of them. You can buy the best electronic screwdriver but you can also very often achieve the same result with a cheap screwdriver or even a kitchen knife.

For me digging deep into some code base, grepping the docs, reading some code in language I am not familiar with or that I dislike is exhausting, mentally and physically. I actually sweat a lot doing that, and it is the kind of sweat that stinks. Doing some woodwork is often less tiring, and the sweat it produces does not smell that bad.

In summary, they trawled the web for more than "30 million unique videos", created an HTML page for each one, and submitted them to search engines. And that resulted in 1 million pageviews.

Isn't that just a spammy linkfarm? It might work in the short term, but I don't think Google like that sort of thing so it won't work when they notice.
topbanana already provided the key point in his response—visibility of a great deal of context. It's especially useful for programming, allowing for, for example, related code side-by-side. A large desktop also allows some user interface paradigms such as drag-and-drop to work more elegantly. Drag-and-drop on a small monitor is often frustrated by the need to first arrange the source and destination so that both are visible at the same time. Generally speaking, a large amount of desktop space allows you to spend less time fussing with windows to get at what you need and more time just working.

Improvement is a process of variation, selection, and inheritance.

I don't think anyone in the evolution racket ever claimed that natural selection meant things were improving. They might be balancing themselves out and adapting to an ever-changing environment, but that doesn't mean it's "better" than what it was (whatever "better" means); just differently oriented to favour survival. And like you said, "if you get in the habit of writing crap, you'll get really good at writing crap".

My point was to be wary of (I should have been more specific) outside feedback; to be careful not to dilute your personal artistic expression in favour of popular opinion.
Andrew is a great guy. They identified the potential of Tonido Personal Cloud much before the market and published a review about it. The good part is without expecting anything in return. We will support their efforts.
