> "So, the first motivation for using vim is that you think it's readily available everywhere. [...] That is definitely not something configured everywhere."

The aversion to custom settings is a rather uniquely "vim thing" (emacs people don't seem to do it), but I've never understood why it is a thing. I am probably temporarily annoyed by my missing custom settings once every year or two at most.

Most machines I work with get my vim config lazily loaded as I use them. Where that isn't feasible/possible/permitted, the lack of my custom color scheme flips a bit in my brain and I naturally use the compat feature set.

Custom settings not being ubiquitous is an objection that makes sense in theory, but it just doesn't seem to be an issue in reality to me. Honestly I have more trouble with ~/bin
How is it short sighted? What other mechanism is there to evaluate the quality of scientific work? They haven't presented at meetings as far as I can tell, and not in ways that manifested in say, a proceedings publication. Their internet postings have been vague on specific details.

Am I to magically observe their experimental design and data collection? Or do I evaluate their work like I do all others - through the literature they present?
If a magic card trading site starts trading bitcoins using mostly it's existing infrastructure and then sells to someone else, the question is are the new owners still using that hacked together infrastructure? The answer would appear to be yes.

Imagine a scientific study that just said "Scientific justification for social oppression found." In a nutshell, I believe that's why.

It's not even that it's bad for there to be differences between the sexes; what's bad is that some people will inevitable take these studies as justification for their sexist views and attitudes.
I didn't view it as a hit piece, because that's not the author talking. And while I don't necessarily agree with it, I do think that they're long on "Crowdfunded free HIV vaccine" and short on specifics.

I think in both cases, the meta argument goes like this: "If the world is like I want it to be, then everything conforms to my preferred set of values, so it's worth to follow those values. Otherwise, the world is just too appalling to think about, so let's pretend I did not mention that and stick to following my preferred set of values, ok?"
Making up numbers doesn't make things better for you or for delivery of the project. But it makes you liable to the boss, so they can make your head roll if they need to.

A surprising number of people in business think this way: not that they need to make sure of something, but just that they need someone to tell them everything will be OK, and then put the blame on if anyone is unhappy. That someone will naturally be whoever is at the bottom of the totem pole.

> What they need to do is to make the product better so that people in general like using it again. It's that simple.

Problem is that it's not so simple. They need to decide from which direction to make it "better", then drive that as a distinguishing factor. This can't be done if there isn't leadership from the top driving that priority incessantly (and demanding good reasons for exceptions).

E.g.: make an SSH built-in client so I don't have to install f*ing putty on every Win install to get decent work done. The cloud is here, and SSH is a core part of it's workings. Embrace and extend if you have to, but make it a native experience.

Women are not just under-represented in tech, but in the majority of the most lucrative professions as a whole. So, unless we accept the bogus argument that women are just naturally worse at stuff other than babies, we must assume that this is a problem with society as a whole (the dolls-versus-lego thing is a part of that, but not the only one).

What about the possibility that men and women are different, and in particular that men are more naturally inclined to do things like sacrifice time and flexibility in order to make more money? There's no reason to expect a priori that men and women are identical in this regard. Indeed, evaluating Homo sapiens as a sexually dimorphic bipedal ape whose sexes have different reproductive incentives, it would be very surprising to find otherwise.

If the premise is "we can learn how traffic flows from watching traffic patterns" and that's accomplished by watching where the tire marks go, then it seems pretty good to me. However, watching where the snow disappears first from the roadway isn't an accurate measure, because people drive differently in the snow.

Another example based on the premise in the article: you can find the best racing line on a race track by looking at where the track is darker, because rubber and any leaking fluids will stain the track directly under where the cars are always driving. That's where racers will be driving during normal conditions, but it'd be inaccurate to say that the race track should only be exactly that line, because drivers will occasionally go off that line to pass, avoid an accident, or participate in an accident. In both racing and normal driving, the best line isn't always the only line.

That's what I meant by the premise is good, but the execution is bad. It's just a faulty measurement.

Come to think of it Nintendo probably did gain a lot by having a card gaming background.

Odd as it might sound it was probably harder for a traditional software company to make the jump because bug free != fun. The idea of coming up with fun and balanced rule systems has a lot to do with play testing which is not part of the traditional software dev process. Blizzard is probably the best example where fun was required before they where willing to ship something sadly that seems to have disappeared after the merger.
I predict this will last 5 minutes after the Nokia deal closes. This is a thumb in the eye to Microsoft by people who will also leave that part of Nokia immediately after the deal closes. They will leave with the knowledge and experience of how to integrate an Android based product with Nokia (maps, multimedia, app store) and Microsoft (Bing search, Skype) ecosystem elements.

I would bet they know at least 5 OEMs in China who would like a similar product.

The problem isn't really code bloat, bloat will happen. The problem is that the original code was not made to be expandable as the scope of the project changed.

Within an organization making code that is extendable and flexible is often VERY difficult, and it can be a VERY hard sell initially. Why spend an extra 8 weeks on a project standardizing how socket intercommunication will be handled internally between your own project(s) code, when you only have 2-3 projects? It sounds like a complete waste!

But in reality it isn't.

Adding features, and changing operations are one of the most common things you'll do with tools on hand. Not planning for the future is the easiest way to ensure the future will kick you when your down.

This difference of 8-10 weeks can be the difference between your code working for 2 years, and your code working for 15.
Well done video and yes this is a problem. But except for the possible hit on how it distributes engagement to the graph, most people will never complain about fake likes, so it will go on. Facebook will adjust to allow for fake likes to not hit engagement and it will go away.

However I think they need to add a modifier to regions. Likes count as a like but overall engagement should be less equal from bot farm areas. A bit like an electoral college or aggregated country value based on fraud/fakes.

In the end advertising is always a small conversion rate and is very thin online so tricks to kick up visibility will always be around on every ad system.

You make some pretty drastic changes that most people would never make until they get pretty acquainted with vim. I get the idea behind the changes because I had made some of them myself, but I learnt vim first.

You need to teach prospective vimmers about the native power of vim. The concepts of motions and nouns wayyy before you start finely tuning vim.

You are half correct and half wrong. We want to also speed up programs that handle largely independent events without using threads, which is a much bigger "market" in Python than allowing existing multithreaded programs to run faster. The idea is to create threads under the hood, and have each one run a complete event in a transaction -- basically, in standard Python terms, forcing the "GIL release" to not occur randomly. This means adding threads and then controlling the transaction boundaries with a new built-in function. This is a change that can be done in the core of the event system only (Twisted, etc.) without affecting the user programs at all.

Is it just me, or do these performance numbers lead anyone else to believe that JeroMQ is more performant than ZeroMQ? I can probably believe that running on a modern JVM would buy you a little bit of an advantage, but these numbers seem like JeroMQ is roughly 20% faster. (I'm reading lower latency and higher 100K msgs/sec)

American slave culture was "scientifically" supported by studies demonstrating the inherent inferiority of the Negro race. (Indeed, that's what race theory is.) This is the same kind of motive behind the search for the "gay gene" or the claim that there are no homosexual non-human animals.
When using the native ZeroMQ from Java you summon the C hell. While the idea of JVM is that it is, well, platform independend, you have to break it in order to fit the ZeroMQ dlls. For instance, I remember that first of all you had to compile it for all platforms (Windows, Linux), then ensure the 32/64bit compatibility, then when building you have to keep track of it when preparing your releases.
Having JeroMQ jar is just making all those problems dissapear.

>Startups generally have a bias towards doing things that they can measure accurately.

As far as biases go, preferring to pay for things that have a demonstrable effect is a pretty good one, especially for startups that generally don't have the resources to waste on a large number of failed initiatives. Sure if you have some incite that gives you a better than normal chance of getting a very high ROI on a creative initiative, then go for it, that's what startups are for. But if you don't have any special incite, stick with what has been shown to be effective, and avoid things like Facebook advertising which appear to give low or negative ROI in the typical case.
Sorry, we did know that was possible. It's well reported and obviously possible. Search even for amateur cantenna ranges and you'll see how far you can easily pull an SSID from (hint: many kilometres).

I'll never understand why Nokia thought that going with WP was a better strategy than forking android like amazon did.

Think about it: it would have the openness and stability of Linux with the single hardware configuration and quality of the iPhone, total win-win.

Now they are going to android as the cheap option which means only crappy hardware that only "looks" like a lumia.

Had Nokia gone the other way it would be in an even better position than Samsung Mobile is in now, mostly thanks to it's vastly superior software resources.

Then again the exact same thing could be said about RIM.

I think the author had a negative emotional reaction to Secret and jumped too quickly to what he thought was a rational analysis of the theme.
