I understand the concept of cheap/fast/good - pick any 2; but K-cups are only one (fast.) The cost per cup is significantly more than traditional brewing and I find the output to be undrinkable. There are better solutions. I have a drip coffee maker that brews into a travel mug in about 5 minutes. Are you sure that the saved 4 minutes is worth the extra money and poor flavor?
Virtually all modern automatic transmissions use a "lockup torque converter" for fuel efficiency. The lock-up clutch is activated once the transmission is fully coupled, and at that point the efficiency of the transmission is essentially identical to that of a manual transmission.

EDN [1] has one flaw. It is not JSON. I will just repost the response [2] I received when I mentioned wanting EDN support in PostgreSQL.

> So the same argument as (say) YAML, Lua tables or TNetStrings. Or, if you include binary representations, stuff like Thrift, XDR and ASN.1.
You can embed a JVM in PostgreSQL and write the functions yourself (or use PL/Scheme I suppose), but I would be basically amazed if anyone decides to do it for you.
JSON gets the nod because it's understood by billions of systems. Other formats are going to struggle.

While I do not agree with his position, it is shared by many people.

I find it bizarre that anti-white racism from a Marxist perspective is an academic discipline with reputable journals and funded by the federal government in a majority white country. As far as I could tell in university, most of the professors involved were also white. Check out some whiteness studies material some time and be amazed at what people can get tenure for. Asian studies is still about how Asians are oppressed by white culture, only white studies is hostile towards its subject.

I guess my point is that white people are bona fide official second class citizens, as classified by taxpayer funded research. Asians aren't given special privileges like other minorities, but neither is their success considered evidence of oppression.

Well as a simple example, you can draw a curve on the board, then lay a ruler up against it and estimate the slope of the curve at that point. Now you have the value of the derivative at that point. Or use a car's speedometer to show the rate that your position is changing. This is an easy example for integration as well: given 60 MPH for 5 minutes, how far did we go? I'm having a hard time thinking of general solutions instead of single points, but I remember we did several in class.
You seem to have a bad attitude going into it. If you have thoughts and feeling and you can explain your position when 'under attack' then you need not be worried about such things. If you think people discredit your opinions because of your penis then you are wrong. I am not saying that discrediting your opinions is a good thing or valid way of discussing things but the reason for it is not your genitalia, it is because male, female, trans etc all have very different experiences of how society reacts/treats their gender or sexuality. Some people may get agitated when they hear someone who is not in their situation, talking about their situation. But that is because of their past experiences and if you provide a comprehensive explanation of your beliefs, then there is no reason for you to worry about how people react to you, because you will know you have been understood. Some people are quick to throw opinions around without reason and it means people like you become afraid to voice yours. If you focus on what you are trying to say then it will contribute to a discussion and if it descends into something you did not expect (a twitter witch hunt?) then you know that you have articulated yourself in such a precise and intricate manner and you know your remarks cannot be taken incorrectly.

> "The problem is that Rails ships with a very limited set of core architectural concepts, and many inexperienced Rails developers feel like they've got to cram all of their code into a Model, View or Controller."

The problem is that people think Rails is an architecture to begin with. Rails is just a framework that uses the MVC pattern (mangled slightly to fit the realm of HTTP). In the end, MVC is nothing but a directory structure for our files. What you put in those files and directories is up to you. Uncle Bob gave a great keynote on this called Architecture: The Lost Years. Here's a link: http://www.confreaks.com/videos/759-rubymidwest2011-keynote-...

Is your work done in the public? It would be nice to put it on a public repo and get others feedback and help.
It's shocking and unconscionable. Some people are even given a leg up by parents that care for them and sacrifice for them and push them to succeed. Those nazis will be first against the wall when the revolution comes. Don't they know they are oppressing other children through their success?
Sure it was made in good faith, it was a perfectly reasonable offer, it just didn't work for me. This is a very soft, subjective and hard to measure area. That's basically the point.

What I've found anecdotally from my wife and other girls I talk to about negotiating salary is they usually downplay it's importance because they get too attached to the position/company "Oh well I really like this place and what they offered was decent even though it's less than I'm making now, plus they give two weeks of vacation!", so usually they'll go back and get a miserable little 1k to 2k bump from original offer then gladly accept it.
And for the rest of us that are not coffee snobs, the Keurig is a great way to get a consistently good cup of coffee without wasting time and effort that could be better spent doing something else.
It's not snobbish, it's cocky/boastful. "I'm hot shit" sort of way.

Why is it that way? I don't know the history, but the short answer is, because that's the way it is used.

Thanks for the shout out! I'm one of the developers of ActiveInteraction. Since most of the interactor gems are pretty similar, here's why you might prefer ActiveInteraction over Mutations, Interactor, et al.:

- Built-in ActiveModel validations.
- Designed to be used with form objects.
- Easier and more flexible composition.
- Translatable with I18n.
- Quacks like an ActiveModel.

That being said, Mutations is a great library for PORO interactors and ActiveInteraction wouldn't exist without it.
One thing that is interesting is that "their sample was restricted to those under 35 years old receiving a first bachelor’s degree".

I wonder how how it would look after that age range.

I am guessing from my anecdotal experience that most professional women usually wait until around that sort of age to have children, and how much having children is a factor in gaining higher salaries.

In addition to that, I am guessing that people early in their careers are less likely to negotiate salary. I certainly was. Now I have a fair bit of experience, I can see that I am more knowledgeable and valuable than some of my colleagues, and so I am in a position to negotiate, with good reasons to back it up. Graduating in the dot-com bust, I was happy just to get a job after nearly a year and a half of searching. I didn't feel I was in any position to negotiate then.
Hi phantom_oracle, we've investigated profit-sharing models, and consulted with some experts in Islamic microfinance about the feasibility of implementing a profit-sharing form of financing for Zidisha. This was attractive to us because it addresses the unfairness of being left to repay a debt when one's business investment has failed.

We did not end up introducing profit-sharing at Zidisha because even in consultation with experts, we did not manage to come up with a viable way to ensure the profit verification on which this model rests. Zidisha is purely an online service, without local loan officers, and our understanding is that applications of profit-sharing models to microfinance rely on extensive personal monitoring of the funded businesses.
Julia,

One thing to note is Kiva has been doing direct lending in Kenya for about 2 years now using M-PESA via Kiva Zip. Zidisha still has some differences, but I'm surprised at the confrontational tone a lot of Zidisha posts have taken towards Kiva. We're both trying to solve some of the same problems, would be great if instead of negativity, we could work together on doing that, share learnings etc. Anytime I get the chance, I share learnings or offer to help Watsi, and I'd like to think I could feel the same way towards Zidisha.

The article wasn't positing scenarios enabled by a nation's intelligence arm having access to the health records; it was positing burglary gangs, religious organizations, and insurance companies having (and abusing) access to the data. I suppose one could posit a scenario where an intelligence agency abuses access to the health records of citizens of another nation, but the scenarios highlighted in the article are not enabled by PA uploading the data to Google's servers. I'd even go so far as to argue that the specific scenarios highlighted in the article are LESS likely if PA uploaded the data to Google's service and then destroyed the originals; "27 DVDs" is a format far more likely to be stolen by a burglary gang.

Assuming the author's scenarios are enabled by NSA access assumes a much, much larger global conspiracy against the people of England and Wales than I'd be willing to assume.

(This thought process even grants the assumption that the NSA has some kind of clear-text access to the data in Google's services these days, which is also not an assumption I'd make.)

He means that Haskell has a lot of operators. Haskell code is often very symbol-heavy instead of word-heavy, which IMO can make it hard to read. It reminds me of Perl in that way.

With that kind of attitude we are just going to make more average Joe and Carlas. If you take what you are saying to a logical conclusion it leads to the exclusion of the many in fear of over education which I would argue can never occur.
Beats is built to grow off of the beats brand at least I believe it is.

They also have tons of money for advertising so they had a superbowl ad and many TV ads so I think maybe a large amount of people that don't know what spotify or rdio is have heard the name beats before.
I agree. Hiding salaries can only benefit the company, not the individual.
Sounds like you are not "ready" for Pharo yet. The problem with Pharo is that, as I said in the comment below, it's all in one package - it has built-in editor, built-in version control and package system, file manager, and generally built-in tools for almost everything. Image-basedness is also a big difference, it's a powerful concept, but it can be hard to really grok and use it effectively.

From what I know I think there are two ways you could go to avoid all this problems until you feel comfortable enough with Smalltalk to tackle them again. One way is GNU Smalltalk, "a Smalltalk for people who can type", which feels fairly normal to work with. You can use your editor and version control software with ease. From the look of it it has a bit less libraries and a bit smaller ecosystem and community, but it could serve you well as introductory Smalltalk.

The other way is Amber, which is a Smalltalk written in JavaScript (or maybe it self-compiles already?). It comes with a "browser" (the thing you use to explore and write code in Smalltalk) implemented as a JS app and you can play with it immediately in your (web) browser. It's also half-image, half-file based, so while it will introduce you to the concept of image based environment, you will use your favourite editor and other tools.

Smalltalk can feel very confusing at first and it is really different from what you know already. It may not be always possible to learn all of Smalltalk system (like Pharo) in one go, especially if you're working and you don't have too much free time. Going through the stages, from less-smalltalky to full Smalltalk environment may take a bit longer, but it will make it easier to learn it.

Isn't that exactly what the web is good at though? Cross-platform? Right now I can send a friend an appear.in link and they can open it on their Android device and join the chat. I don't think Safari on iOS has WebRTC support yet, but I can't imagine that they're not working on it.
You don't even need to add that to the load path as of rails 4 - we have app/validators, app/services, app/forms, app/inputs etc etc, all autoloaded with no config.
If you need a gem to implement some of these complementary patterns, you're doing it wrong. Draper, Naught, DisplayCase and all of the other gems of patterns are over abstraction 99% of the time. Implement the pattern yourself. Most of these Presenter and Service object patterns are different variations of the Decorator pattern. Ruby happens to ship with 3 great ways to implement decorators: SimpleDelegator (my personal favorite)[0], Delegator[1] and Forwardable[2].

I think the editor uses the same underlying technology that Chrome uses to display web pages. That's a lot of overhead for a text editor, but it makes it really easy to extend and do crazy things, basically anything that is possible in a browser. I honestly don't know what would make it faster.
The new pods (Keurig Vue pods) are recyclable[1]. Also, I don't care too much about my coffee taste, so it does a great job getting my caffeine with coffee flavor, especially when I'm the only person in the house that drinks coffee.

Espresso machines are designed much differently and as accordingly they are several hundred to several thousand dollars. Really you're looking at $1000 and up for a decent espresso machine in my opinion. And don't even get me started on the amount of skill it requires to pull good espresso shots consistently. Between grind size, tamp, the bean and altitude you have a lot to deal with.

1. Because a code signiging certificates are not cheap (although with some tricks you can shrink the prize a lot: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3091938/cheap-code-signin...)

2. Because code signing is snake oil. Lots of malware is signed even with leaked driver certificates of some Asian hardware manifacturers; thus getting some leaked code signing certificate should be easy if you are used to writing malware.
As with anything it's about practice, negotiation is an art. For an unskilled negotiator the best thing to know is your BATNA.

A great rule of thumb is if people aren't saying no you didn't ask for enough.

The first time I negotiated I shot way over, apparently even the lawyer didn't make that much, my reply was that the lawyers work usually wasn't scalable across multiple clients and that any code I made was a capital good that could be resold again and again generating value in the company for years, then I pulled out a sales spreadsheet showing how the code I wrote for various product lines brought additional revenue to the company and then multiplied by the average length on the contract. (Make a really big number and ask for a small part of it).

Needless to say I was so successful in my negotiations that I was no longer allowed to have access to sales data.

The best part is once you negotiate a good salary you can use it in future negotiations as an indication of skill to get even better salaries. (eg. Does the competitor want to steal the $50K per year coder, or the $250K per year coder?)
