Where are you located? In Oakland, I certainly see some bicyclists break the rules, but I probably see more abiding by them. (And I see cars and pedestrians break rules, as well...)
Personality disorders are controversial diagnoses that are difficult to make.

As this submission shows a lot of research is fucking hopeless.

I'd be very careful about drawing conclusions from a book, even very good books like Jon Ronson's books, about psychopathy. The science isn't good; he's not a scientist nor a science writer; etc.

Things are much easier if you want to substitute "assholes" for "person with antisocial personality disorder", because you're not stigmatising mental illness and you're not making shit up, you're just voicing an opinion on the weird behaviours seen in some bosses.

The difference is that drivers are killing cyclists without consequences, while cyclists aren't killing drivers, because it's not physically possible.
StreetMix lets you design and share streetscapes
Well, you are aware that the roads were built for cars right? Would you walk in the middle of the road? No, because that's idiotic and stupid. But sit on a few pounds of rubber and tubed aluminum, travel only slightly faster than the same moronic pedestrian and now it's a smart commuting idea?

You've chosen to go out and share the roads that were built for cars and decided for every driver (who are actually entitled to be on the road in their cars) on the same road as you that they're responsible for your safety. And then you've decided to inconvenience every single one of them by clumsily pedaling you and your contraption into a position where you are blocking cars from traveling at the designated speed the road was designed and built for.

In no other social interaction is any such similar selfish behavior even remotely tolerated.

I mean, imagine I decided to take up a hobby called "being a cat" and then I come to your workplace and just decided to sit on your desk, and block your keyboard, take over your chair, push you out of queues and otherwise disrupt what you need to be doing. But it's okay, I'm entitled to do this because I randomly picked my hobby and don't you dare be cross with me when I knock your monitor on the floor and prevent you from doing your work.

In fact, I have a better hobby. It's called "tack throwing". I'm going to go out to my local bike trails and take this hobby up. Where I throw handfuls of thumbtacks in front of all the bikers and fuck them because that's my hobby now and they shouldn't be riding their bikes on my tack throwing field.

Some features Tim demoed in the keynote were distinctly Newton-ian - what would SJ have to say about an app to let you send little scribbles to your friends' watches? That's Garry Trudeau territory. On the whole, this device seems like a "phone for your phone" to me. Imho, Apple should have waited a couple years for the technology to catch up. Eg: until they could miniaturize the innards to not require pairing with an iPhone; until the battery could last at least a week; until the low end price could be around $200. In its current state, I can't imagine there's very many people who "need to have it."

I take it that by design you mean code quality and that you include error handling in edge cases.

Yes bad things do happen in the real world: connections fail, files are missing, input are invalid, programs have bugs,...

Yes you do have to handle it: validate data, check status code, add guard conditions, report errors, document input, returned codes and thrown exceptions. Here is a nice article on error handling in programs if you are interested (for node.js but most is universal): https://www.joyent.com/developers/node/design/errors.

Yes it makes program larger. That cute 10 liners that throw an exception to the user's face if anything goes wrong will end up larger.

But does it make the code bad? No it does not. It makes the code correct. In business software, edge cases and error handling routinely take more effort than the standard case where everything goes right. It's not a wart, it's a fact of life.

A piece of code is not finished when it appear to work. It is finished when it is written, robust, clean, documented and tested. Cutting corner means that when the bug report inevitably arrives a lot of time and energy will need to be spent. Way more than doing the right thing the first time.

"that's exactly what the really productive, fast paced coders in my company do.". They appear productive and fast paced but they are not. They only appear to be so because they twist the definition of done. By moving the goalpost they throw a bunch of garbage over the wall wishing good luck for some sucker later on. But, hey, it sures look good for management. That's not even adding technical debt, technical dept implies you make a deliberate trade-off. This is just burning money.
Unless you're not referring to the things at all - but a convergent platform.

Huge difference. The only issue is getting consumers to buy in on the idea.
FB Fail: Facebook bans fundraising page for sick baby awaiting heart transplant
> I think it's not mainly about money (why do Germany's academics have the fewest children?), but about creating a children-friendly climate and a culture where raising children is considered a good thing and not just a burden that keeps you from consuming.

This is so interesting; I was thinking about this exact problem (consumerism vs. child rearing) the other day after noticing some anti-child undertones on Reddit. Some themes I saw were workplace discrimination toward women in their 20's ("Why should I have to pay to train a female employee when she's highly likely to get pregnant and leave? I'd rather just hire a male."), shaming parents experiencing financial hardship ("It doesn't matter if you got cancer; you should have accumulated more savings before deciding to have kids!"), and an overall positive view of a child-free lifestyle ("All of our friends with kids are poor now -- I'm happy without kids so I can buy whatever games and gadgets I want.").

I just find it weird that people can forego such a defining element of any life form (reproduction) for the sake of consuming more "things". To take it to the extreme, could consumerism lead to the end of the human race?

>What are you voting for?

granting them rights according to their mental capacity and sentience - i.e. about the rights of a 2-3 year old toddler (or a person with extremely severe autism - very close approximation of a cat's or dog's mental capacity). For example - how would you handle an overpopulation by a toddlers? Would you set them free into the wild or euthanize?

EDIT: to CocaKoala below.

>But that's a ridiculous comparison because cats and dogs are not toddlers

i didn't say they are toddlers. I said we should treat others at least according to their mental capacity and sentience. And treatment of toddlers or severe autistic people is an example of such treatment.

>Granting cats and dogs the rights of toddlers or autistic individuals means you're giving up the right to spay or neuter your pet; nobody would advocate for sterilizing a toddler,

exactly. It is definitely time to give up such medieval ways. Why aren't we using pills on cats and dogs? Because we don't want to bother with extra expense and effort. Affording the rights would force us to do it. And it would be for our own good as treating others with consideration and humane compassion would only improve our own civilization.

>but many very reasonable people advocate for sterilizing house pets, and for good reasons.

if you remember anything about the history of human race, you wouldn't invoke the formula "many very reasonable people advocate for <...>, and for good reasons"

TO "dogecoinbase" :

Summary of your post's logic - "affording rights [according to mental capacity and sentience] is cruel". Yep, no way to fight that logic.

TO: CocaKoala 2nd post.

I advocate for granting rights and making decisions on that basis. At the current state of technology i do see that adopting such a basis would lead to the choice of pills over surgical mutilation.

To address your Edit - i didn't insist on specific everyday birth control pill taken orally. If we to talk technical details - long term birth control injection would me more close to it.
“Online media is made of clicks”
In the US a "flat" is an apartment that spans an entire floor of a building. In that sense it is the opposite of a townhouse (an adjoined multi-unit dwelling where the units are vertical instead of horizontal).

Some say it is rarely used but there are currently thousands of "flats" available for rent on craigslist/sfbay, so I think it's not that rare.
I program in Scala and I wish we'd be able to delete objects manually, and then have the GC clean up the stuff we forget. That'd be awesome; enabling the perfect fusion of managed and unmanaged memory. In the meantime starting out with huge heaps and setting references to null after use seems like the best we JVM folks can do.

Edited to specify I'm using Scala.

This is bullshit. If you hit and kill a pedestrian, you're not always at fault, even though they always have the right of way. Likewise, often drivers who kill cyclists get off scott free:

Drivers like you are the reason cyclists have started wearing GoPros. If cyclists were so belligerent, you should mount a dash cam to start documenting their offenses.
Wait...you don't think particular modes of transport should have exclusive access to particular public rights of way that everyone owns and everyone's tax dollars pay to build and maintain?

So does that mean you think motorcycles should have access to the sidewalks, and pedestrians should be able to walk in the street?
> I see more people driving break the law every day while driving then I've ever seen bikers do in my entire life. People are jerks regardless of what they use to commute with.

I see more people driving breaking the law every day while driving than I have ever seen bikers in the road, not counting the peloton from the local bike store. Speaking in absolute numbers in this case isn't meaningful, because in most areas of the US the number of people using cars for transportation far, far exceeds the number using bicycles.

Being in a full bike kit doesn't mean someone is playing Tour de France. For people (like me) whose quotidian bike commute is 10+ miles each, it is incredibly uncomfortable to wear street clothes, and it's very inconvenient to ride several 5+ miles out of the way to take an isolated path. Besides which, the impossibly small portion of infrastructure that doesn't allow car traffic often requires cyclists and pedestrians to mix on narrow paths that are poorly maintained.
In civilised countries (eg. Germany, Netherlands) cars are not allowed in the city centre. because of congestion, pollution, danger of death.

As a motorist who drives with other motorists daily, I'm appalled at the driving habits of motorists.

I rarely see them obeying simple traffic rules.

Motorists seem incapable of obeying posted speed limits, and seem not to understand the meaning of the amber light. Motorists also have a problem with roll-stops.

I have yet to see a motorist using turn signals properly.

In consequence, I've started advocating that motorists should drive their cars on the sidewalk until they can demonstrate proper respect for the rules of the road.

Edmonton, Alberta. I live in a central/downtown location, where most streets are quiet 2-lanes. And like I said, I have never seen a cyclist actually stop at a stop sign. Most don't even slow down -- just a quick check to make sure they're not going to get killed, and blow right past.

I'm not an expert on GC, but I do work on a compiler written in a GC'd language
that cares quite a bit about performance. I can share a few guidelines that
may prove useful to the author or anyone else having similar trouble.

1) Profile. This does not mean gather a few charts from a primitive profiling
tool that simply tells you which functions have the most time spent in them. You
need a real profiling tool that gives you detailed analysis of where your time
is going. You need CPU stacks, time blocked, GC stacks -- everything you can get
your hands on. Your profile needs to tell you where, what, and how much you're
allocating. It needs to tell you what kind of allocations you are doing and how
long they are living.

2) Once you have your information, you need to figure out what you can do to
improve your performance. To do this, you need to know the characteristics of
your program and all the platforms it runs on. Is your code being JITed? How
long does your program spend in the JIT? Can you mitigate this by doing AOT
compilation, optimization profiles, or producing more JIT-friendly code? For GC,
what kind of GC are you running on? Is in conservative -- do you have to worry
about memory leaks? Is it stop-the-world -- do you have to worry about pauses?
Is it generational -- does the behavior change at inflection points? Do you have
to adapt your allocations to the sections of your program's run time? Does
allocation in one portion affect allocations in another portion, e.g. will your
allocations produce extra memory fragmentation when running on a non-moving GC?

3) You need to own your code and its performance. If you're allocating in a hot
loop and the GC can't keep up, you need to rewrite that section to not allocate.
If you're fragmenting the heap in non-critical paths, you need to stop
allocating there, as well. If you're constantly recreating re-usable ephemeral
objects, you need to look at object pooling. If you need to refactor sections
of your code to avoid allocations and stop-the-world collections, you need to do
that. Blaming the GC will not make your application faster. If you need to
break out a debugger and jump into the GC to see what's taking so much time,
that's what you need to do.

4) After you've optimized, re-evaluate. Are there actionable items you can hand
to the GC devs? Can you point out general points where GC strategy has a known
bad result and a known better implementation? File these on the GC. Maybe you'll
be able to delete some optimizations in future versions. :)

The first version of Roslyn was 30x slower than the old C# compiler written in C++. We're now within 2x on 10-year-old hardware and beating it on newer. Perf optimization works -- but not all programming is a stroll through a park. :)
This is classic architectural brutalism. Just getting a wider glimpse into the history of this is totally fascinating to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture

"Brutalist architecture is a movement in architecture that flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, descended from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century."

"Examples are typically massive in character (even when not large), fortress-like, with a predominance of exposed concrete construction, or in the case of the "brick brutalists" ruggedly detailed brickwork and concrete together. There is often an emphasis on graphically expressing in the external elevations and in the whole-site plan the main functions and people-flows of the buildings. Brutalism became popular for educational buildings (especially university buildings), but was relatively rare for corporate projects. Brutalism became favoured for many government projects, high-rise housing, and shopping centres to create an architectural image that communicated strength, functionality, and frank expression of materiality."

There are people who do this kind of inane shit. There have been a number of cases where people tie thin metal wires across bike trails and on roads that are designated biker first.

I don't see this as representing a continued use of the "Windows" brand in other contexts. We're not talking about Windows Live, Windows x, etc. In fact they seem to be moving away from Windows in non-OS stuff. There's Bing/MSN/Xbox for Search/Info/Entertainment, (they recently announced a relaunch of the MSN brand for instnace).

Your point does not refute what I said. It shows that no drivers have been criminally blamed, ruling out one kind of injustice against drivers. Other injustices, such as undeserved wrongful death/bodily injury compensation may have occurred.

Regardless, OP isn't normally this obtuse. He's clearly reacting to a perceived injustice, even if it does not exist. Please read my above comment again and try to understand why I wrote it.
>despite being required to obey all traffic laws however ill-suited they are for pedal powered vehicles.

I absolutely agree with this general sentiment. Bikes aren't vehicles and can't perform like a motorized vehicle along virtually any parameter. They shouldn't be regulated like a vehicle and they shouldn't be sharing space with vehicles.

They also clearly aren't pedestrians since sharing space between bikes and pedestrians is usually a bad experience for everybody (I've been hit by numerous bike riders while out jogging or walking on local trails. They usually yell at me for blocking their path if the collision causes them to have to stop or fall). However, because they move at much higher speeds than pedestrians, they're dangerous in mixed spaces.

But they're a valid form of transport. But clearly distinct from both other modes. So I fully support bikes having distinct travelways. I'm even delighted that my tax dollars might help pay for it.
If it does go to South America, USA might be screwed. America imports all of it's bananas, Chile mostly. Hawaii makes a negligible amount that I think never even leaves Hawaii.

Side note, I've been interested in fruits, and the fruit trade so I've been trying to find out more information about how it all works. It is hard. Pretty much any hard data that comes out is from the USDA, no private entity does any sort of research or tracking of the movement of fruits. Farmers either don't care about that sort of stuff to do it on their own, or aren't technologically advanced enough to try and do it themselves.
