>In the worst case scenario, I'm reading an AP article which omits the author's name. WTF?

Would you also expect the sub-editor's name, both from AP/AAP or Reuters and from the publication which edited the wire story? The chief-of-staff probably assigned that story over the alternatives, which would have been biased (because she's human too) - so do you want her name? And don't forget the section editor, the primary editor, the publication's owner (or owners).

It's a nice suggestion in theory. In reality, having the author's name can be more misleading than having none at all, since it assumes they have more control than they really do.
"belie" can also just mean "to be in contradiction with".

Which I assume was the definition being used. As in, "the simplicity of the changelog is in contradiction with the actual complexity of the project".

Alternativa Platform has a cool 3D engine, Flash 10 powered:

Heh, fortunately that isn't much of a concern. These are all things that a good programmer would find within 30 mins when they sit down with a profiler to eek out a few more fps or free memory.

The intention is not to hide these from other engineers, but to keep a bit of performance in the bag for when needed at the end of the project. When you absolutely must hit 60fps, or fit everything into 32mb of RAM, it can be invaluable.

Sony Ericsson W715 Unlocked
The Sony Ericsson W715 is a svelte little handset, measuring a mere 95mm x 47.5mm x 14.3 mm (3.7in x 1.9in x .6in), which allows it to easily slide into a pocket or handbag. Thanks to the metallic front panel and small dimensions, the W715 feels quite weighty for its size, in a good way. In reality, it weighs in at just 98g (3.5oz). Overall, the W715 seems very solidly built and feels pleasant in the hand.
Cancer was given its current name by Hippocrates and first described in the surviving medical literature over a millennium before him. Neutrinos were first detected in the 1950s.

I'd love to see newer studies on the few surviving traditionally-living populations. Here's one: http://www.medsci.org/v04p0053.htm

While I'm a layman and would like to be enlightened (how should they have done these studies? What evidence would make you think there's something to look into?), I don't think you're fair to the linked sources. Like, "One of these physicians was captain George B. Leavitt. He actively searched for cancer among the traditionally-living Inuit from 1885 to 1907. Along with his staff, he performed 50,000 examinations a year for the first 15 years, and 25,000 a year thereafter. He did not find a single case of cancer. At the same time, he was regularly diagnosing cancers among the crews of whaling ships and other Westernized populations. It's important to note two relevant facts about Inuit culture: first, their habit of going shirtless indoors. This would make visual inspection for external cancers very easy. Second, the Inuit generally had great faith in Western doctors and would consult them even for minor problems. Therefore, doctors in the arctic had ample opportunity to inspect them for cancer."

News is based entirely on novelty, which is much more closely tied to entertainment than it is to importance. Not only do you miss out on the all important background information for reported stories, but you miss out on very important stories all together if there doesn't happen to be anything new about them.

Tens of thousands of people dying of cancer or car crashes is not news, but a single person dying in a terrorist attack is not only front page news, but a reason to turn your life upside down.

Popular notions of what matters and what doesn't are really screwed up. That's largely human nature, but Journalism certainly reinforces it.

Make sure you have flash enabled for the site.
hi5 Networks has more advanced tech along the lines of what you're seeking, though still in private beta, but should be arriving "really soon now". It does a good job of pushing the limits of Flash 10.

If you know Flash 9 already, there is very little documentation that fully explains Flash 10's features other than the Adobe docs and a small number of expert Flash blogs. If no Flash 9 background, better to learn that first.

Flash 10's 3D support is fairly horrid for complex 3D stuff like game-like content without dedicated effort to get around things like lack of depth buffer and buggy matrix math libraries.

Papervision3D and Alternativa are some of the 3D engines out there, but the really good stuff is commercial.
Good advice.

I read Stephen King's book on writing earlier this year. There's similar advice in there as well (and this author references the fact that most writers work in a similar manner).

What I've found is that I've recently slipped into a habit of doing this same exact thing, unintentionally. Every night after dinner, I start up the laptop and shoot to get X, Y and Z done before going to sleep. (...on my programming project...)
I second that. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
I don't get it either, sorry. If I win and gain the followers wagered, don't they still have to unfollow my opponent and follow me? Why would they do this unless they were participating in the game?

Your points about health are reasonable, but I don't think the modern diet really has more variety than the Medieval aristocrat's did. The kinds of meals eaten by the upper classes back then would still be considered extremely luxurious today.
It seems that the service is to make the system _appear_ more rational, to put a lens in front of The System, offer a consulting service, and offer an advantage to students that are willing to play the game with parents that take the initiative.

You make two good points:

1. Yes, I would like to know the editors of each article.

2. "The chief-of-staff probably assigned that story over the alternatives, which would have been biased (because she's human too) - so do you want her name?"

I don't want only her name, I also want to know the reasoning she used to chose these particular stories over the others.

Although I realize that you are [probably] being critical, I do believe that you have some good suggestions. Even if this introduced more overhead per story, I believe the quality of each story would increase dramatically.

Seems like magazine journalism is much less susceptible to 1,2, and occasionally 3.

I wonder how much of the missing information he describes is due to the lack of time and words that journalists face when they're working in a short cycle.
I feel like some qualification is in order. I can't make any excuses for SOAP (maybe someone else wants to take that up), but COM, at its core, is indeed a simple and dare I even say elegant technology. COM is alive and well on Windows, because it still serves a basic need (cross-language binary interop) and it does so well.

The problem is that COM just couldn't stay simple -- the basic idea of querying an object for reference-counted interfaces was quickly buried under incomprehensible layers of pUnkOuter and IMoniker and apartment states and OLE activation sites and god knows what other stuff that you have to know about but doesn't help you getting work done.

I've seen people who can get carried away adding layers of stuff to something simple and beautiful without ever realizing that it stopped being simple and beautiful quite a while ago, because they still understand everything. Boiling frog design, if you will. I don't know Don Box well enough to tell if he's one of those people, but COM and related technologies seem to have seen a lot of that crowd.
Doesn't it have 9% market share? I don't know if I'd call that "hardly used".
A middle class person today can if they choose have a much more varied diet than anyone could in medieval times. Even as recently as the 19th century it was an extraordinary luxury in northern Europe to have fresh fruit or vegetables in the winter, for example.

And of course medieval Europe did not have any of the species they later got from the Americas: no potatoes, peppers, corn, tomatoes. There was no coffee or tea or chocolate either. And no ocean fish unless you lived close to the sea.

If you were a rich person in medieval times you could basically have a much roast beef as you wanted. (That was apparently Charlemagne's undoing.)
> logic in the presentation layer

Sometimes logic belongs in the presentation layer (if it is related to showing the information to the user).

Take the "if" tag for example. It doesn't support complex conditions (values can only be tested for values of truth, and it doesn't support parenthesis to define precedence) and adding an if block inside another if block is just ugly. To get around this, you usually construct a boolean value inside your view, but it often happens that this value is only relevant for one template (i.e. HTML). And if your view also returns JSON / YAML, that's not clean.

Also, QuerySets are lazy by default, and it goes beautifully hand in hand with caching template fragments, and this works for me since I usually can't cache whole pages (some fragments are more dynamic than others). But if you move template logic in your view, then you're going to have to worry about caching in your view too, duplicating logic.

Also, the if tag doesn't support "ifelse" ... what's up with that? Are designers too stupid to use ifelse properly?

Yes, I know you can create your own tags, but it would've been nice if these things worked out of the box, and it's not OK to define a tag that's not reusable (like in the case of a complex "if" condition that can't be expressed in the template directly), because that's extra work that doesn't pay off.

And since we are talking about designer-friendliness, how are designers going to understand working with such non-standard tags all over the place?

Now, thus far the Django templates haven't been much of a problem for me, but the projects I worked on in Django have been pretty simple. But I know they are not enough so I'm currently looking for alternatives (fortunately it is easy to replace).

I don't see technological, logical, or knowledge progress in the attempt to write complete OS in assembly (anymore). I've done it myself, in high school, just for fun, a 16bit. That is also when MenuetOS came out. Now I spend my time more wisely. I've actually went on doing things that benefit the society the technology and the users.

Not that menuetOS is bad, but I suggest they reorient them selves so that there is that usable part. And I can see space for it, in embedding computing f.i. Far from having no respect for their work, which I have my hands in from day one.

The reason this seems counterintuitive is not that there's some dark matter of people who are somehow not subject to market forces, but simply that we're surprised by how much more cheaply things can be made by mass production. If a Big Mac were made by an individual farm family that raised the cattle and grew the wheat and the other ingredients, and then prepared it for you in quantity 1 in their kitchen, it would cost a fortune.

Our surprise at this variation is equivalent to the surprise of someone who doesn't know anything about programming at the fact that a piece of code can be made 100x faster.
The "Velcro" bug seems uncannily familiar. We had extremely similar issues on a game I worked on. Our lead programmer was going down the "dirty hacks" route, which worked in some cases but in others was producing new bugs. In one instance, I think it was a hovership colliding with a tower, there was a back-and-forth between him and QA for about a week, where he'd patch against a specific symptom, and QA would (literally) find a new angle of attack where it would break yet again. The deadline was looming, so one day, he came up to me and asked, "you studied physics at university, right? Can you have a look at this?" So I did. It took me a weekend, but I eventually tracked it down to a horrendously broken box-to-capsule collision detection and response, which I rewrote. (capsule = sphere-capped cylinder) Sometimes, the less dirty fix does make it into the game. :)

I liked this comment:

If you sit down at your specified time and are drawing a blank, get a new document/piece of paper and freewrite. Write ANYTHING, even if you just write “I have no idea what to say” over and over. Ignore spelling and grammer. Write stream of consciousness. Just get something on the page. Eventually something will click and you will start to come up with ideas that are more useful. But staring at a blank page is intimidating. You can always delete/throw out what you wrote later but you have to start somewhere.

I'm not sure there's a programming equivalent though. Playing on the REPL?

The question is: in which country? The title of this article should really be appended with "in the USA", because the data doesn't consider foreign wealth.

Technology will continue to make people in Asia and India incredibly rich. Meanwhile, our markets are drowning in debt, the US middle class is shrinking, and the regulatory system is increasingly biased toward entrenched players in areas like intellectual property and finance and international trade. I wouldn't be surprised if it's getting harder to make money in the US, and easier in other places.
