"I just think a lot of what we call social skills really comes down to, frankly, giving a shit about the person in front of you."

Honestly, I don't think that that is always true. It's possible to have great social skills and not care about people at all. We sometimes call people like that sociopaths. And on the contrary, some people can care greatly but not understand how to express their care/interest.

I usually do not write comments on politicians, but being an Indian I feel sad that someone like Narendra Modi has even been considered for the post of Prime Minister by my countrymen. Let alone the decision to elect him for the top job.

But so it is, he is now the PM, and I accept what democracy and fate has asked me to accept and go with.

Having said that I am yet to understand why the following murders by the Godman himself have remain unsolved so far:

To inform and remind people there are quite a few murders that have been carried out by Modi, Amit Shah and D. G. Vanzara:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haren_Pandya
This guy was the Home Minister of Gujarat and key witness to implicate Modi to confess former's role in execution of 3000 children and women in Godhra Kand.

2. http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/kausar-bi-wa...
Wife of the hitman used to kill 1 above.

3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Soharbuddin_...
The hitman.

4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishrat_Jahan
Unsolved.

5. The guy with direct reporting to Amit Shah and Narendra Modi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.G._Vanzara
The hitman with a uniform.

6. and there are several hundred other cases which could and could not surface above Modi's close quarters.

Here is a video of a few criminals who proudly discuss how they went on killing entire families of a particular faith, and how Modi gave them the strength, protection and instruction to do so:

I am actually reassessing the value in the concept of democracy lately. I think tyrannies almost always figure out a way to come on the top. It's like seeded alongside the Third Law of Thermodynamics.
>It was light year ahead of everyone especially Apple (Toaster anyone) Drama from Commodore CEO was the cause of death.

I have to disagree here, the cause of death for Amiga was in my opinion the PC with which Amiga could not compete performance-wise due to sticking with the Motorola 680x0 cpu's.

The Amiga's bitplane based graphics didn't help either as it was slow even with the dedicated blitter and when the PC got VGA mode x 'one byte per pixel' 256 color planar modes the jig was up in terms of the Amiga being able to keep up in terms of game graphics.

Just out of curiosity, what authority does FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler cite for his ability to do this, given the history of the FCC getting railed in court?

I think the reason it doesn't appear to scale is that its been misused so often. For example, what Backbone.js calls a View really isn't at all in my opinion. It's some strange combination of Model and Controller.

The main issue with the gag orders that people are concerned about is not that they are fundamentally wrong, but that they are ripe for abuse. Many of these companies are publishing some data about these kinds of orders, so within the limits of the law they are doing everything possible.
Same thing with software outsourcing contracts to China (for instance). On purpose, send the half-finished specs. You know there are huge gaps in the specs, they can't be implemented without asking clarifying questions. What does the outsourcing vendor say? We read the specs, we understand them very well, no problem, we'll do it. Fire vendor.
Social skills are very hard to learn. The best way to learn something is to get a result, positive or negative, for a given input. When interacting socially, results can be difficult to observe, especially when you don't know what to look for, and often can be time delayed. It's also virtually impossible to test a specific behavior in isolation, which makes it difficult to detect what specific thing might cause you to be perceived negatively. Most people start off on a strong footing socially, making it easier to try new things to see if they get a positive reaction, but for someone that doesn't have such a strong footing it can be confusing and frustrating when people don't want to talk to you or spend time with you, and you don't know why.

By default OSX's HFS+ volume is configured to be case-insensitive, but case-preserving. So, the filenames will preserve the case, but the filesystem doesn't distinguish based on case. It makes for interesting bugs.
Yup. I suspect this is the core of his incompatibility with nominal employment in the tech space.

I agree with others that perhaps a documentation role on an open source project would be something that would be in demand, but having the tech writer telling the developers they are doing it wrong is not a good recipe for success (and that seems to be a real possibility here).
From a certain perspective, one could view those as accomplishments in relation to all he has learned/accomplished and contributed within the coding community.
> I just think a lot of what we call social skills really comes down to, frankly, giving a shit about the person in front of you.

Very true. But first of all I'd argue that 'giving a shit' in itself is a skill. We are, to a large degree, taught to be nice. Watching the average eight-year-old in a school yard is a clear example of that. They're practically psychopathic: developed enough to understand the concept of 'the other', but they haven't necessarily learned how to empathize.

I suspect there's a strong correlation between being socially outcast or awkward (whether biological, developmental or contextual in nature) and taking up programming and computers as a hobby. For me that was the case, and for most geeks I know it was too. In fact, the very definition of a nerd is someone who focuses unusually a lot on one thing, at the detriment of other things (usually social).

Plus, it's a relatively recent development that 'social' kids are also into computers, on account of wanting to make games, or emulating 'skater geeks' like Kevin Rose. I still remember that it was rather 'uncool' to be in chat rooms, for example. Or reddit being the nerd version of digg.

And finally, people have a tendency to conform their views to their experiences (more than the other way around, I suspect). So it kind of makes sense that a person with few friends, or a history of no partners, will conclude that 'people are shit'. Misanthropy is usually not innate. I've met a shocking amount of people who are eerily similar in their deeply negative view of society with no real experience of friendship. Some of them, in their late twenties or thirties, seem beyond help.

I originally had a section about reader macros but I ended up cutting it since the article was running a little long.

Reader macros are great, but they work best when a token can unambiguously be recognized by the reader as using some "special syntax" (usually involves a '#' and then another dispatch character preceding the new syntax).

This is great when you're coming up with a brand-new syntax. But if you're trying to match something that already exists, it's not easy
On the other hand, the site renders fine with nothing whitelisted on noscript, so you could give that a try.
To those very new to India's politics, there are few things to consider before forming an opinion of Modi's involvement in the 2002 riots.

(a) The Government in power at the center was the opposition party ( Congress) throughout the last decade. (2004-214). If they had the power to twist Supreme court's arm (appointment of judges etc), they would have most certainly done that, and influenced the outcome.

(b) The Government at the Center (2004-2014) has had at its disposal the main investigative body of the country (CBI) to do any arm-twisting against Modi.

(c)Despite this, and despite intense media scrutiny in India, if the Supreme Court- the highest court in India- has given Modi a clean chit on his involvement in the riots, then sufficient respect has to accorded to the same. It is significantly way,way,WAY more authoritative than any wannabe-investigative journalists airing their opinions non-stop on television or highly-viewed blog articles. Let that sink in.

If a thousand well-indexed news articles/ well followed blogs paint a different picture, that does not change facts.

The Supreme court of India has been known to be strong and independent,even openly rebuking the Center for it's stupidity and corruption ( Search for 2G-Spectrum scam). True we have a lot of corruption everywhere,but the arm-chair dismissal of Indian Supreme Court's weightage- by Indians ourselves- against top 10 google search results - pains me.

If Indians ourselves cant do that, how can we expect the global audience to form an informed opinion?

I've argued against your point in these comments, but I must say I also agree. Some of the most unpleasant people I've met were a toxic combination of intelligence, skill, and a total lack of empathy. Intensely judgmental, misogynistic, vaguely racist, a chip on their shoulders, and no sense of humor (big red flag for me, usually).

But these, I believe, are relatively rare. I like to believe so anyways, and I try to give nasty people the benefit of the doubt. Because this: http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Clubs/buddhism/story/oldmanscorpion....

There is literally not a single sentence of "constructive feedback" in that post. Just a post being a typical HN complainer about how since it's not perfect it won't work. He did offer his thoughts on the "best cases" but he did it in the most typical dick head know-it-all way. There was nothing positive about his post when something like this is only positive. I'm shocked you come to this site for that type of comment when there are so many great comments that actually contribute and actually offer constructive feedback.
Build .debs either locally or (preferably) from CI, push them to an apt repository, apt-get install to production from puppet/ansible.

EDIT: I should explain how this actually helps solve the problem. If I'm building a package locally, I can take advantage of all sorts of cached files which I can't assume are present on the production server. I can also use tools I don't want installed in production to speed up the process. Building a local package from cached gems is pretty quick, and will get much quicker once I've got precompiled gems sorted out. I haven't got a particularly good answer to speeding up `rake assets:precompile`, but having it fail locally is better than having it fail in production.

You either have evidence for that statement or you don't.

2. If it is the latter, you are not telling the truth.

Rackers are a smart bunch, their first-level chat support is great for the million minor issues I need solved. ("We've got a noisy neighbor, can you check it out?", "Can you move this VM to a new host?", etc.)

That's 10 seconds of divided attention required from me vs 10 minutes of dedicated attention for a phone call.

In fact, read that table: ROI customers get charged for almost everything unless they have €3000 in their account for a whole quarter. NI customers pay nothing but "Non-standard / unusual transactions may attract charges". UK is somewhere in between: "Customers who keep a minimum of £250 in their account in any Charging month* qualify for free banking"

Unsurprisingly, different countries(+) have different bank charging regimes. UK bank accounts are traditionally free and it's hard to attract customers by putting up prices. Instead banks push "advantage" accounts where you pay $10/month and get free travel insurance and other minor financial services.

I think it is. The actual process of comprehending a crankshaft uses conscious thought as a conduit to transfer the idea into memory.

However, I think lotsofmangos in the Feynman quote was referring to the process of visualizing a crankshaft, which is most definitely conscious thought. Visualization is often not language in the mind.

I think in general it is a good rule of thumb to evaluate political statements by. There are elections coming up near me soon and several candidates like to claim that they will 'support the local community'. Strangely no-one is against that!
Mozilla can't really do their own thing unless they start writing some closed-source code. And then negotiating directly with various content providers about what the code will do. Probably a few other things I haven't thought of as well.

It's all possible, but it'd be a pretty big difference from what Mozilla does normally and I'm not sure they'd be very good at it. So outsourcing that stuff makes a good bit of sense.
Some find this type of labeling helpful. Some find it unhelpful. At any rate, we should probably tread carefully.

People with mental illness need jobs as much as, if not more than, those who pass for normal. I know. I have suffered from serious mental issues for 18 years. In that same time, I have enjoyed a long, exciting, and storied career; and I know that my employers have been grateful.
This kind of case is why I don't think guaranteed income will work. Some people won't even be able to manage that money. We have to find a way to insure people have the basics without money (in their hands anyway). The salvation army type/soup kitchen programs aren't it. No dignity, 5000 other guys (a significant percentage of which would slit your throat for a rock), an underlying "join the cult theme".... no, that environment doesn't make things better. Basic privacy and dignity are needs too. And if someone is going to become productive they need access to basic tools like a computer also. If people like Lee could forget about money and work on what they love I think the world would have more for it. Or else a lot more trolling. IDK...

I think what we are seeing here is similar to heroin addiction or alcoholism. But this is an internet 24-7/ trolling rush/ porn addiction that makes it hard to live in the real world.

I do feel for his case... in the same way someone who drinks a little more than they should might feel for homeless drunk passed out on the sidewalk.

Source was as I remember The Tech, MIT's student newspaper, but I can't find it right now, it was a raw data series. This '75 article starting on page 5 http://tech.mit.edu/V95/PDF/V95-N11.pdf covers '62-'72, but the data I looked at went quite a bit further. If you're really interested I can try harder.

Note that you should throw out results from the '50s and a bit further, when science and especially math education was poorer and MIT had to accept and weed out students. If one was really serious about this, you'd have to find the transition to when they could send acceptances to students they were quite sure could do the work, which had long been the case when I was got in in '79.

Can't say anything based on data about this century; do wonder why they stopped releasing them, but there are reasons that wouldn't touch on grade inflation per se, e.g. the dot.com crash resulted in a great discontinuity for the EECS, which lost more than half its students, after having 40% of them for decades. That resulted in the panic which replaced SICP/6.001 with harder introductory courses (it's even less a place where a pure CS type can slide by on two pure EE courses after the first required course), and it was some time before EECS enrollments returned (and not just at MIT, e.g. Stanford experienced this).

Hmmm, I'm not at all sure what that period might have done to the outside of EECS student body, but I could see many mathematically strong students simply not going to MIT, and my source on what's going on, who would definitely know in at least the School of Engineering, hasn't mentioned any grade inflation problems, I'll ask if that's changed.

There's also one discontinuity before this century, when a professional admissions director actually followed the faculty's official guidelines/rules/whatever on who to admit. There are two classes that were much less strong, this was fixed when e.g. physics faculty members made a big fuss and admissions got realigned with reality.

As for "every source", there's plenty that talk about MIT "suffering" from grade deflation. Actually a problem with others interpreting MIT GPAs vs. schools with notorious grade inflation, pre-meds are understandably very concerned about this; search on mit grade deflation.
