The Church of England does seem charmingly ambiguous about whether the whole "religion" thing should be taken too seriously or not.

Compared to the Church of Scotland - which when we had it inflicted upon us at school seemed more of the good old fashioned enternal-damnation/hell-fire/torment approach. Although the Church of Scotland is actually fairly cheery compared to some of the more extreme protestant sects that to be found in the remoter parts of Scotland.

NB If you've seen "Breaking the Waves" you get the idea..... :-)

Edit: Found this brilliant article that sort of sums it up: "Wee Frees told to 'cheer up' by own magazine".

For decades the ultra-Conservative Free Church of Scotland has been caricatured as gloomy and depressive, only truly content when it is opposing Sunday ferry services or chaining up play park swings on the Sabbath.

pew pew, owned.
that part isn't particularly deceptive - I expected software to be a prestigious job in developing nations, one that lifts people out of poverty.

The part I was surprised about was where the median code monkey in the developed world sat relative to the mean earnings - which was, in fact, me misreading the data (see OP's reply, a sister to your comment).

as this comment's sister mentions, median is actually much much better than mean when we're looking at pay, where a small number of high paid jobs skew results dramatically.
Doesn't mean they are any less made up than the Church of Latter Day Saints. There may be genuine concerns but at the end of the day it was just one guy who wanted a divorce as far as I know.
It's been done several, dare I say many times. Badly, of course. I saw one at fry's where the base even had a more powerful CPU and when you docked it, the tablet was just the monitor... but you could access the tablet functionality while docked through something that looked like your typical telivisions "Picture in Picture" functionality. There was also a phone, a while back, that would dock into a video/keyboard in a laptop form factor. (Many phones these days, I am given to understand, have hdmi out, so this is largely a mechanical engineering problem. Well, that and making the software usable on both screens.)

So yeah, if it is, in fact, a useful form factor (and I have my doubts) it's in the perfect place in the technology curve for apple; the tech is all there, but nobody has implemented anything usable.
I have never got over my visits to North America and seeing endless adverts for prescription drugs - which never actually said what they were supposed to cure. Followed by, of course, a voice quickly firing off the list of side effects.

> "It's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life and I completely advocate people 'coming out'," says Mark Hatcher, from Black Atheists of America.

I am always amazed by how the American society seems to be divided. I don't understand much the rationale of having a 'black' atheist society, or rather I should understand that experiences are so different that a white non-believer can't even relate with a black non-believer ?
"COE is the state religion in the UK so it's taken as a sort of default"

Not in the parts of the UK that aren't in England it isn't!
Just out of curiosity, May I ask the age group of the "some people" you referred to?

As a 30yr old in the UK I've not once had that once. In fact I've seen the inverse, people "coming out" as having belief and their friends being shocked, more frequently.
Awhile back I tested this by making my own lib which did sleep and then print a random number, it worked fine, but the moment I did a benchmark, with randomized cookies and other things, which is read from inside the source, all requests returned the same result.

This server will not respect contexts which will change what the user sees. It just games the benchmarks with an in-memory cache.
Yes, and that business about the transubstantiation, which for some reason C of E doesn't believe in but Roman Catholic does.

Even though it's pretty obvious to anyone who's been to a service that the wafer definitely doesn't turn into the actual body of christ - it's still a wafer.
I personally feel like the "Atheist" position in the US is much more vocal than in the rest of the world.

I'm an Atheist, but I leave people alone and don't try to press my view on the rest of mankind, just like I like to be treated by religious people. I feel there is a strong "anti-religion" movement that calls itself Atheist, and I feel it's giving the rest of us a bad rap.

tl;dr: I don't believe in god but don't care if you do.
Introvert-extrovert is a spectrum. The false dichotomy is that extroverts is not entertained by programming and/or other intellectual ventures.

It is simply a preconceived notion without any real evidence, much like the one that people wearing glasses is more intellectual than others.

There are good and bad programmers among both extroverts and introverts. I know a few introverts might wish things to be different, but there is simply no evidence at all for this. If you are to have an intellectual discussion about these things you have to let go of your preconceptions.
I strongly suspect so.

C of E is sort of the default religion in England, and I know a fair number of people (I used to be one of them) who would describe themselves as C of E but who don't really believe in God.

These days, it's changing though - 25% of the population as a whole (and around 40% of those under 50) described themselves as having no religion in the last census.
Increasingly I'm coming around to the idea that the US is a place where extremist politics and religion is commonplace.
You are forgetting about profits which in the industrialized world is about 35% of the surplus, only 65% is wages. Therefore an average salary would only net a ratio of 0.65 in salary to gdp/capita. In other words the 0.9-1.1 ratios in the EU are pretty good.

E.g the ratio in Sweden is 1.03 and if an average salary is 0.65, it means that the average developer salary is 58% higher than the average salary. It matches my own anecdotal data pretty well.
I don't think I could do work from a coffee shop. They make their money on churn and my camping out in a chair for hours kind of prevents that.

As a person not living in the US, I have a hard time understanding how "closeted atheists" are feeling oppressed by this. Do strangers come up to people and ask about their religion, and is the problem that you have to lie? In Sweden nobody really cares what you believe in, and it's kind of a social taboo to even bring it up during dinners etc.

This is pretty off topic for HN. Religious wars are supposed to be about Emacs, Vim, and other, lesser, editors, not actual religions, or lack thereof.

Some of the people I consider very worthwhile to read here have very different views than my own on the topic, and I'm not really sure it's a good use of anyone's time to get into that.

You can downvote all you want, but: the article is dead.
It's simpler than even that if you're worried about it on a per-site basis - right click, Page Info, Security, View Cookies. It's the same window, prefiltered by the site you're on.
I agree, and it is especially frustrating because, personally, most non-believers I meet are reasonable atheists, not the anti-theists you are referring to. There is a bit of a "vocal minority" effect happening, and it definitely makes the rest of us look bad.
Interesting, so at 0.9-1.5, the developed world's software engineers are doing extremely well? Good to know!

Although Norway does have high GDP per capita, http://www.bloomberg.com/visual-data/best-and-worst/highest-... said 99,574 USD is Average annual income. That's unfortunately not true according to http://ssb.no/en/arbeid-og-lonn/statistikker/lonnansatt/aar/..., where average annual earnings last year for all sectors is 489200 NOK, i.e. 77824 USD. (Meanwhile, the earnings of programmers, according to http://ssb.no/en/arbeid-og-lonn/statistikker/lonnikt/aar/201..., is 52900 * 12 NOK = 101021 USD.)

It's kind of unfair to compare annual earnings of programmers directly to GDP per capita. If you actually compare it with the annual earnings of all sectors, the ratio for Norway is close to 1.3.
It's actually not as high when you look at it at PPP. It's actually lower than USA at PPP. But that's irrelevant to this question.

Yeah. The CoE is where you go if you're one of those people who equates 'Christian' with 'decent human being', but don't really believe all nice old stories. They have cake and organise bake sales and cups of tea and they're generally very nice people and don't demand too much, and besides the church is in the middle of the village and it looks lovely so I'll chip in a bit to the roof fund because you wouldn't want it falling down, and we do have a bit of a sing on a sunday morning and it's not too boring, and the vicar was so good at poor uncle Alfie's funeral the other week...

I listened to an interview with our last Archbishop of Canterbury a little while ago, Dr Rowan Williams. You know, the guy that ran the show (even though the Queen is nominally in charge). He admitted he didn't really know there was a god, just that he thought there might be and really really hoped there was.

I don't know if this sort of 'religion' is familiar to americans/others?
Neither can easily be proven, but dualism has too many problems that goes against my word view. If mind and materialistic world are separate, then what is mechanism between them. Mind controls the body but cant affect other material, does not seem reasonable. I find it much easier to believe that mind somehow emerges from complexity of physical brain. Still, I don't understand the need to pick sides here. I don't know which is true, so I try to stay unbiased, before I collect more knowledge.

Nice tool BTW, I could see lots of areas for expansions such as community sharing and allowing people to edit sounds somehow and then share their version, with ratings of course. Also some way to upload an existing MP3 and then edit that would be awesome.

Perhaps I'm overly critical and/or cynical, but it's difficult to take this page seriously when there's a graph right at the top showing that IIS 7.0 Windows / C# can handle 0 concurrent users per sec.

Either this is a poor attempt at humor (indicating a naive or dangerous opionated author), or the testing isn't thorough (indicating the author isn't thorough enough to care despite making very bold claims about similar software). Neither lead to very promising conclusions about the quality of the software.

while i would love to believe you because as mentioned, i am partial to windows, why is it that you seem to be very isolated in your view? the other responses seem to support the idea that Macs are better for software development.

also, as a mildly interesting anecdote, when i was in india for a project, i noticed that indians generally all use windows machines for software development too. i rarely see apple machines there.
It also depends on your location. From what I read/see American developers all have macbooks, but I'm currently attending a high tier Western European uni and there hardly any macs at all (only professors that came here from USA have them, lol). The CS program here uses Windows & Ubuntu.

Nah, you're still wrong - it's the correct translation - the tone is every bit as detached in both the English and French versions - a softer version of "Your son is dead" is indeed "Your son is deceased", or even gentler "your son has passed away". The tone of "Your son is dead" in English is every bit as cold and impersonal as "Votre fils est mort" in French...

What I wonder is how this is traced.

If I leave a review ~6months after would my sisters bridal party be charged or the party that is currently renting the hall?

I assume the later since they assume reviews are placed within a short span of time. Which then if there are several books one-day-after-the-next how do you migrate reviews? Or do you split the difference between all parties?

Even if the policy is clear, and the market is free. There is no way this policy can be enforced fairly.

Not really, it's still just a survey, and there is no way that any of them could be an expert of every effect (social, economical, crime, their relationships) of every drug. Without actual tests it was purely subjective.

Change drug laws in a city for a period of time, heavily track the before and after effects, then repeat it in another city, and another city. That would be a study that would be more scientifically accurate.

Thank you. The work is related to writing, so most of the time I'd only be taking up the space for my laptop, and perhaps a notebook or two to keep notes.

It's just like having to systemically lie about or not mention any other part of your life. We all do this about a variety of things every day.

> Do strangers come up to people and ask about their religion, and is the problem that you have to lie?
There are certain situations where it can get awkward. E.g. if a boss or friend asks which church you attend.

I usually just elaborately lie and say I'm religious but "can't find a church I like".

That's actually pretty easy for me, because I grew up in a religious house and understand enough christian theology that I can pick something about any given church and maintain internal consistency in my complaints.

People sometimes think I'm pedantic, but usually don't know much systemic theology or church history, so I can just escalate the discussion to a point where they're unsure of themselves and come out looking a bit pedantic, but at least religious. They get to feel smug about the "emotional depth" of their belief, and I get out of the conversation without having make any dangerous lies (e.g. saying you attend a church you don't... bad idea).

That's way easier for me than the alternative, which usually involves an annoying and endless litany of invitations to the person's church or their friend's churches.

> and it's kind of a social taboo to even bring it up during dinners etc.

It's not formally acceptable to ask in a work setting, but depending on the part of the country, it's often informally acceptable (not talking about church-related things would be kind-of akin to a "no personal conversations at work" rule for much of the south and parts of the midwest).
Working on http://beatsimporter.com It uses Ruby/Rails, Nginx and MySQL.. It imports playlists from Spotify, Rdio, iTunes and plain ole CSV files. It even will import a subscribed playlist from Spotify. I welcome feedback, comments and issues.. so check it out..

Why is it cool..
1. when I wrote it a month ago it was the only importer for Beats Music (need to look to see if it still is)..

2. I wrote it because I was moving the family from Spotify and Grooveshark to BeatsMusic and I knew my daughters wouldn't manually move their 500+ song playlists.. So everything I do for my daughters is cool.. (well.. maybe not in their eyes. haha)

The great thing about engineering is that, if you think I'm wrong, then what I say can't possibly harm you, because the technical reality of Bitcoin doesn't care what I say about it.

As for why I spend time on Bitcoin when I could be playing League of Legends: although the graphics are a lot less good and I believe BTC have a true market value below that of Riot Points, I find it intellectually interesting, and ultimately "I find it intellectually interesting" gives me carte blanche to spend time looking into almost anything.

The capitalist in me realized at one point, though, that I'm consistently in a room full of rich, smart people who are Bitcoin fans. This suggests one of two possibilities: one, I'm dead wrong. Two, I am not wrong, and I should engage in mutually beneficial trades with these rich smart people, such as paying them meaningful amounts of money in return for derivatives positions which only pay out if Bitcoin loses "a gigantic amount" of its present value.

I might at some point decide to communicate what I know to the wider community via market mechanisms such as e.g. buying puts in the Winklevoss BTC ETF, but as that is presently impossible and a wee bit against my intuitive sense of justice, I have been communicating with the community earlier via various textboxes.

Again, if you think I'm a crank, feel free to ignore. If you meet any rich people who love Bitcoin, you can tell them to ignore me, too, and to sell far-dated deeply out of the money BTC ETF puts. If you think Bitcoin is going to the moon then selling 100k BTC worth of puts at a $10 a coin strike price means heads you get free money and tails means you pick up 100k BTC for only a million dollars!
I think the previous version of the metadata included a path to the ftp server. Splitting the book id (4443 -> 4/4/4/4443) works for _most_ books, but there were somewhere between 800 and 3000 books organized in a different folder structure that I still need to track down.
I should be stating the obvious here, but the fact that I even have to post this means that obviously, I am not.

I can do 8 or 9. I can do more than that but not for sustained periods.

If I'm programming 10++ I'll usually burn out after a month or so. Burn out usually means that I don't have the focus or will to get in a solid 8, more like 4 - 6, for a period while I reset (whatever it is that gets reset).
