I think there isn't really a lesson at all.

It's like if a meteor falls on someone walking through town. Is there really a 'lesson' you can take from that? Sure, you could dig into the person's life and try to find some underlying meaning, or something important this person should have said or done before said meteor came shooting through the sky. But in the general scheme of things, we are tiny ants crawling over the dry parts of an ant-hill floating on a small blue puddle somewhere in the backwater bayou of the universe. Our lives amount to the goings-on of ants, and we can be squashed at any moment by unseen cosmic feet.

The truth of this - that life, and mortality, and our existence, is a fleeting and inconsequential part of everything in the universe - really puts into perspective getting pissed off at immigration reform, or the barista that didn't make your coffee right, or not making enough money, or not getting to see that one movie before it left theaters. We're so unimaginably lucky to be wandering around this ant-hill, and meeting other ants, and getting to start a tiny little ant family. When it ends, it ends.

You should also probably get regular checkups with your doctor, and exercise regularly, don't smoke or drink to excess, and try to get 8 hours of sleep each night. That won't stop the meteors from crashing down on you, but it might help you walk around the ant-hill a little bit longer.

I suppose this is useful for people into such tabloid-style things, but the name bothers me. We seem to be heading on to a path where "Git" becomes synonymous with "GitHub". This is worrying because, among other reasons, it sort of subverts the "D" part of DVCS.

I have absolutely no words. My heart goes out to Steve's wife, family and friends. I think many of us can relate to the long hours part of the story, the strain that it puts on relationships is real. We have all been there at one stage or another, the inevitable you are always working late and I never get to see you call/in person conversation. Not to mention the effects of sleep deprivation can be serious, there have been quite a few studies that have linked sleep deprivation to a lot of things including serious disease, reduced cognitive ability and even kill brain cells.

If there is one thing we can take from this it is: you don't know how long you have got in this life. Family is always more important than work, I think we should all remind ourselves every once in a while we have a husband or wife at home, possibly kids, who love seeing us and need your time just as much as your employer does. Jobs come and go, family is for life.

I am in no way trying to downplay the severity of this post, but I had a very different reaction when I read this. My reaction was, "Why did the head of the division tell the group about his condition in detail?" Maybe it is because I live in America, and maybe it is because I know someone who had cancer and was reprimanded by HR for discussing his cancer -- and survival from it -- on an internal work forum.

My preference would be to work in a place where people can talk openly about their conditions, if they so choose. It seems like in the litigious country where I live, this isn't possible.

Has anyone had similar experiences?

This is pure goal post shifting. Without massive and expensive maintenance, many of these bridges would be unusable, having crumbled to the point of destruction. Pretty much period.

TeX is not 50, I had not meant to imply it was. Just that it is a relatively old piece of software that has had virtually no maintenance compared to many other pieces of software.

Could it have used an overhaul? It is certainly debatable. However, Knuth has had massive success in keeping it working without worrying about use cases that just were not the aim of software.

To continue the comparison with bridges, it is not uncommon for them to have restrictions saying that large trucks can not cross them. This is not a recommendation, it is a requirement. In the software world, many would have modified TeX to do such things as typeset documents miles wide. Because, generality! Or some such.

And the concerns you have about people not knowing what an "underfilled hbox" means is simply a lack of training. I would be surprised if anyone I work with below the age of 25 has even heard of TeX, much less read the documentation for it. Heck, I could probably raise that to 40.

So, my assertion is that the fact that TeX is still very much usable shows that it was "well engineered." Would it require somewhat expensive training? Sure, but how is that any different than the maintenance of bridges?

On top of that, you are required to keep a valid contact email in your domain's DNS configuration, or you risk losing your domain. (ICANN rules)

However, just because someone doesn't reply to an unsolicited email sent to their domain contact address, doesn't mean it isn't working. It just might mean they think you're a spammer, or simply aren't interested in what you have to say.

This product tries to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and doesn't solve it particularly elegantly, IMHO.
DocumentCloud - US - REMOTE - Full time back-end (ruby/java/etc), front-end (js, backbone) or full-stack developers

DocumentCloud is a platform journalists use to analyze and publish primary source documents which they can embed along with their stories. We help people find interesting things in documents and share them with others.

If you read the Ferguson grand jury documents last week, you probably read them on DocumentCloud. We're also the platform from which Backbone.js and Underscore.js were extracted.

DocumentCloud is a Ruby/Rails & Javascript/Backbone webstack, plus a data processing stack written in a variety of languages (java, ruby, node, & some c).

We've received 1.4m$ in funding and are looking for developers to help us expand our platform & products. We're looking for developers who can contribute to our either/both our front end product experiences and/or our backend data/document processing pipelines (especially if you're interested in building open source tools used to make journalism better).

We work remotely with an agile planning process.

Join us and hack on open source software in the public interest!

You always have the option of simplifying by writing the app in the "web style" where it simply refuses to run if it can't connect to the server (if there even IS a server).

Of course, people might indeed think that's lame and sucky whereas they'd forgive it for a web app. This is one reason I made my app visually look like a web app e.g. no menu bars and a bootstrap/web style button/popup aesthetic. If it looks like a duck, people are more forgiving if it quacks like one sometimes too :)

I'm graduating with my master's degree in spring from the University of Massachusetts and looking for my first full time position. My research work was done in developing software engineering tools. I've worked at a variety of internships, including one at the National Institutes of Health, as well as several startups and mid-sized companies. I have done work in data analysis, and front/back-end web development. Have items in my github account, and I can link to my research project at request.

I was a VIM guy for some 3 or 4 years... but then... I wanted to learn LISP. Aaand... you can't try to learn LISP without Emacs.

My last play-out with Emacs was org-mode... still learning it's awesomeness.
I shouldn't be surprised that c++ is as popular as it is. For some reason, I was fixated on the kernel for the data point I was thinking of.

And do not mistake what I'm saying as that I think rust isn't as good as c. Even better, in many ways. My question is specifically if people today will be able to accomplish better things because of the language. I'm doubtful.

Most of the biggest accomplishments in embedded space comes down to the massive gains in the silicon. Most of which is dominated by advances in boolean chain evaluation to make faster circuits. Wider, sure, but also faster. (At least, that is my understanding... I'll admit I am no authority on this.)
