A basically excellent post. With one minor nitpick:

"A building filled with individual privates offices and no common areas would go all the way to the introvert end."

I've been there, and the reality is people in extroverted moods crowd into one office, or schedule endless meetings in a conference room, or just hang out together.

Also, its mood in addition to personality. I'm probably 90% introverted and 10% extroverted in feeling. I don't mind a quality meatspace discussion, just keep it to a reasonable fraction of my day, not all the time or when I'm trying to concentrate or when I'm trying to do actual productive work.

I'm a bit miffed at the author for missing the obvious on-call analogy that if open plan offices are so great, then every time I get an "emergency" call at home or jump on a conference call when I'm out of the office, then I should run to the nearest playground or daycare and sit in the center of the loudest most disruptive room. After all, that noise is supposed to make me productive. I can only imagine in horror one the result of those architects redesigning the study areas or labs back at uni.

When I'm doing my own work at home in an environment designed for me to be ideal, when I'm concentrating as hard as possible, it probably shocks some open office stockholm syndrome victims that my near perfect home conditions don't involve 25-50 televisions blasting reality TV at full volume, simultaneously, while I work.

And there's also the denigration factor, not mentioned in the article. You mere proles don't really think, so you don't need conditions to think. Us managers are paid to do all the thinking so we have offices. You proles belong in your sweatshop, you losers. Its a very intense, negative message. Architecture has meaning, and designing a daily kick in the nuts into your office is just inhumane. I'm sure its very funny for our superiors to watch us suffer a la Mr Burns style (oh how cute, they think we care about how badly we're treating them, ha ha as he strokes his villain cat). Mixed offices of management in offices and proles in the inhumane open area results in feelings similar to having "regular" and "colored" water fountains back in the old days. "We know is sucks, but it keeps you lower animals in place."

Its not just that open office advocates are wrong, its that they're so wrong that a thoughtful discussion will inevitably appear to be parody.

Epiq Systems in Kansas City, KS

We assist law firms with their complex IT needs, like ediscovery, printing class action mailings, tracking bankruptcy filings. Excellence is expected and paid above average for. Corporate culture is more conservative than many places but the organization still adapts to technology reasonably rapidly.

We're looking for 5 positions. 3 coders but I unfortunately don't know much about it. C#. We have scrums but aren't that agile.

1 Windows Admin - This is a mainly OS position. There's an apps team but mainly we need server OS troubleshooting, development of monitoring, etc.

and the position I'm rooting for, Linux Admin, pardon the pun. You'll be the third member on the team.

- RHEL6, OEL6, Oracle RAC 11g, Puppet, Git

More than anything we're looking for the right person. There are a lot of ways to skin the cat and we'd prefer you not have a militantly religious view on your cat skinning method. Can you be open to learning how we skin the cat then help us understand how your method is better? If we're stuck skinning the cat in a stupid way for a while will that drive you nuts?

Here's some guidelines to know if you should complain:

- If you heard someone else complaining about this, would it make you feel good?

- Will anyone else care?

- Does this need to be said? By me? Right now?

- Is this complaint creating positive change?

- Can I rephrase my complaint to address the issue positively?

Ideally, none of the things you listed should be complained about. Just stating your annoyance at a situation doesn't do anyone any good, and it's likely everyone else already knows about it, or doesn't care. Instead, try to address the problem at hand with a solution, or accept that you can't address it and move on.
The canonical source for info would be Cinefex issue #55, which came out at the time and went through all the special effects shots. I think you can get it for $5 through their iPad app.

Apparently it is four minutes of CG out of fourteen minutes of dinosaur effects. But four minutes of CG is a lot of shots for the era.
Sustainable is the wrong word. Is it scalable? Meaning can a large number of creators live off of this model?
This is a vulnerability. This attack does not require physical access. Do you really think that startup repair mode is required to swap the position of cmd.exe and sethc.exe?
Because now you have a giant mountain (roughly a triangle), and the giant dinosaur (roughly a triangle) pointing more or less together. This helps focus the attention / energy of the shot.

It's definitely subtle, but a good amount of film making (or hell, photography) is that way.
Pretty much everyone has machines that can be hijacked by drive-by malware - there have been cases where 0-day exploits have been used for such attacks through targeted ads on reputable websites.

Following other best practices doesn't help you to protect against that, but preventing third parties from injecting arbitrary content on the [reputable/largescale/https] websites you're viewing does close one attack channel. One out of many, but a valuable one.
Holy SEO Fail Batman... Google only returning ~ 19 pages ( site:c2.fed.wiki.org * ) vs. 80K from c2.com
I can't remember it correctly but there is a saying along these lines:

most people would open your door if there was no lock on it. Eventhough it's useless.
It's very simple really; just don't run any external programs. Better still would be to limit the permissions of each specific executable (like iOS does), but that's not how Windows was designed...
Make sure to set it back when you're done! If you don't, then an unauthenticated RDP session can use this trick to login to the machine you fixed.
The funny thing about venting is that it doesn't work; in fact, research indicates that it makes you more aggressive over time. The pseudo psychologist in me suspects that by venting, you're reliving the event, and reviving those emotions, but in such a manner that you're forcing yourself down the rabbit hole, since when you vent, it's from your perspective. When it comes to things you can't change, you simply have to accept them and move on. Why would you waste emotional (and by extent physical) energy on these things?
Point, but I suspect it's the same reason even so - they've found a measurable correlation between people changing their car colour and accident rates.
Gregory Gershwin here. I've seen a few people use version control for technical books, but I haven't seen much for fiction yet. And for young adult fiction, I think the examples are slim to none. I'm hoping that opening this works encourages people to think about other ways of writing/telling stories.
That 404s for me?

The Reporter Resists His Government
I've yet to see any. It used to be necessary for drop down menus, but now CSS does that. When I browse with javascript off, it's only crap sites that break, and often the same ones loaded down with tracking cookies, 3rd party CDNs, facebook/google plus/twitter buttons, popups and whatever other crap. Interesting, that...
Harvard Startup to Help You Consume the News
Seems like branding is the way to go on the internet, rather than throwing crap in peoples faces.

Example: Yahoo News, brought to you ad free by Nationwide Insurance

Then people think "I like Yahoo News, I like Nationwide Insurance" instead of "I hate that scummy ad, I hate Yahoo News".

The word "sweatshop" is improper, you're right about that. But is it really unfair to compare modern software factories to, well, factories?

Most factories today are very clean, and safe. But they're not organized to help foster original thought, which is what software (should be) made of.
I'd be interested to see an actual implementation of such an allocator in Rust that exposed a safe interface. You could do it in the specific case of chunks of predefined sizes, and maybe even for all byte arrays, but to allow arbitrary types in the allocator I do not think you could expose a safe interface without requiring initialization.

Again: I'm quite confident you could reproduce this specific vulnerability. You would just have to go out of your way to do it and the benefits of managing a free list yourself aren't really there (jemalloc is quite good at large allocations).
Impressive.

Go to the original visualization at http://www.datapointed.net/visualizations/color/men-women-co... and sort by popularity. This enables you to see colors that are gender-outliers for how popular they are - the most popular colors tend to be near gender parity (or in this case a bit skewed male) whereas the less popular colors are all over the place.

One of the colors you'll see along the bottom edge of that cloud of points - meaning it's rather male among colors of its popularity - is "light red".

Men don't even want to say pink.

I think the Federated Wiki concept is very interesting, and I agree that it would be very nice to serve functioning static pages—this could be added and probably should.

That's why I'm wondering if you have looked into the project's ideals and roadmap. Maybe they have different priorities than you would prefer. Maybe, as I said, they are already working on providing for your needs.

This is not a product someone is selling to you; it's a public work-in-progress with a pretty ambitious idea.

If you think that JavaScript applications in general are opposed to your ideal future of the web, then I understand your disappointment.
I see a lot of people taking interest in this idea. For a more nuanced and holistic approach to "not worrying about things you cannot change," I would check out Stoicism:

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

The best intro book, in my opinion, is William B Irvine's "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy".

The main problem I find with simply "Stop Complaining," is how do you do it? What should you and should you not stop complaining about? Do you shut out your feelings about the offending topic, or do you internalize the annoyance and move on? These questions are generally addressed by the Stoics, but I can easily see someone trying to just stop complaining and getting frustrated.
Why Google Backed This Uber-Cool B Corp
Yesterday I was setting up Crouton on my 11 year old daughter's Chromebook. She wants to learn to program, she says, so I said, great, let's get you a real programming environment. She was nervous about her computer and all the stuff flying by on the screen, so we talked about what her computer is -- a CPU, memory, storage -- it's all bits, nothing happening here can hurt it.

We then got Python up and drew a turn with Turtle, which she then extended to a rectangle.

We'll see what she learns and what I can teach her. But whatever she learns will be directly applicable to many other available environments. My Mac and her Mom's will have a terminal. At some point she can take this up to a Linode and play on the net. If her computer club uses Raspberry Pi, Linux will be there.

Maybe she could learn a lot with Windows 10 on a Pi. And much of it would be principled, and some of the basic emotional and mental disciplines needed to work with computers. But a great deal of it would be a particular interface, and one that is generally available only with costs or arrangements that exceed those of getting to a *nix interface.

Now why is it a good idea for her to invest in a sunk cost like that when she can invest in one with much greater and freer applicability?
How do you "not tolerate" it? Send them a nasty email? Create a 'wall of shame'?

One thing I've heard from larger companies is they often do not say anything because almost anything can be construed in to a lawsuit. I think this is a bit of a copout, and I think in most cases, it's just easier to do nothing, but the lawsuit thing probably isn't a total non-issue for some companies either.

"Thank you for your time and interest. We were faced with a tough choice with a lot of candidates, and we ultimately went with another candidate for this position" seems as inoffensive and bland as could be - why these aren't sent out it, I don't know.
Destructuring and Recursion in ES6
>not everything can be a linguistic structure/syntax/grammar.

Says who? Why should I believe this?
Try doing that with my phone. I think (hope?) you wouldn't succeed.
Ok, that wasn't clearly stated in the article
This is immensely frustrating because it is clear the OP doesn't have the money.

Many organizations pay headhunters tens of thousands of dollars for a hire. Each person costs $100K+ (often significantly more) fully loaded. Yet somehow the price of some tall cube walls is the issue? It's flawed math, people scrimping on the environment and then maximizing head count, getting less out of the latter by cheaping on the former.

"I don't understand the valid reason for X" is vastly different in connotation from the original statement I commented on, "I don't see how anybody can like X". It is not completely wrong. Words have meaning outside the strict definitions. Have you tried to see how anybody can like X? Have you done the work to understand why other people do like X? The latter comment is full of assumptions regarding viewpoints and their validity.

You've changed the original wording that I was commenting on to mean something different. Telling me I'm completely wrong and that you hope I'm confused does nothing to change that.
The question is, however, if disabling it for your own account also disables it on the Login screen...
Hmm, a nice exception from Betteridge's law of headlines.
You do realize how irrational it is to scream at an ocean, right?

Venting is called venting for a reason. There is no "secret sauce" to stopping, but there do exist plenty of techniques for stress management that aren't venting. "Simply stop complaining" can even be a more dangerous coping mechanism than unrestrained venting.

Edit: Maybe I wasn't very clear - I'm not saying venting is a good idea, I'm fairly sure it's considered maladaptive coping (but don't care to look that up this early in the morning). I'm trying to express that it's still a coping mechanism and "simply stop complaining" is wholly inadequacy advice to someone who doesn't have a strong coping strategy in their life.
Gummiboot recently added support to create a single EFI executable that contains the /etc/os-release file, kernel parameters, bzImage and initrd [1] You should then be able to sign this file and configure UEFI Secure Boot so that only files signed by you can be booted. I guess that's the reasoning behind it.

Is there any intern position?
I think there's too much arguing for things that kids don't give a shit about. The argument can't be, "think about the children!"

The argument must be, "preserve the children's rights to think for themselves." It is on us as adults - parents, teachers, trusted elders, whatever - to instill in the kids the information needed to make decisions, and the fundamental skills to objectively utilize that information in a rational decision making process. In my humble opinion - reflected in my own choices as a parent - that means Linux (a term I use in its colloquial form, please do not nit pick on that word) on the Pi. My kids see Windows at school and at friends' homes, OS X and iOS at home, and as of today I'm taking my RPi off duty and showing it to my kids. It's a snow day, they're a captive audience!

It isn't about a six year old compiling a new kernel or a teen getting a Minecraft server to run a mod, it's about creating a spirit of curiosity and experimentation.
Why would i care what the motivations of Microsoft are?

What is important is how it affects me and my interests.
I find the second part the hardest. I suspect that another might find the first the hardest. Which one probably reveals something fundamental about our character. :)
It actually originates with Reinhold Niebuhr, though it sounds like it came in fairly early to AA.
Why abstraction is important when constructing algorithms
This is a cultural thing, though. Since childhood, we are taught that you are absolutely always quiet in a library.

Open office plans tell a very different story (with the OP underscores--collaboration), so I suspect it would be a long, difficult transition to move from a noisy, collaborative space to a quiet place.
This website doesn't deny that. They're merely asking you to try under-doing it instead of over-doing it:

> Complaining is great. We all need to vent from time to time. But many of us also overdo it. Sometimes. In this month, you can see life from a more positive side – and learn about yourself, one complaint at a time.
[citation needed]. It is a myth that one need or even should "let go" of their negative emotions. Instead, that reinforces the propensity to feel that emotion more strongly the next time. Rad "Emotional intelligence" (1st chapter IIRC) by Goleman for a better explanation and scientific references.
The strange case of babies sleeping in boxes
Our solution is to keep everyone remote till we can build good spaces, however that is not possible for everyone. It seems ridiculous that people think there are only binary options here.
I think it is more fair to say that a small percentage of online advertisers fill up a lot of inventory with junk that hurt the large percentage of advertisers that run relevant ads.

For most X, you can say that showing ads for X from people who really want to sell it to you makes life better than worse.

The least common denominator behind all these scams is: (i) recurring billing, and (ii) high margin product. An early form of it was the "free ringtone" scam which would hit your phone bill for $10 a month. Today it tends to be nutritional supplements. If you can send somebody an $80 a month bottle of pills that you can get made in China for $5, the net present value of a customer is enough that you can pay Yahoo, affiliate advertisers and others involved enough to keep the thing going.

There is a group of a few hundred people that could be described uncharitably as a "criminal ring" that are behind this stuff. Seriously, they hang out on IRC.

In the world of multilevel marketing the most interesting development is "Ambit Energy" which gets over the problem that it is hard to get people to buy a $80 a month supplement -- everybody needs electricity. However, electricity is a low margin business and Ambit offers very little benefit to consumers other than getting your friends and family members who are Ambit to shut up.

In the world of "normal" businesses where you are dealing with people who know more about their product or business than they do about the rapidly changing world of online advertising. (I read technical documentation like some people read thrillers, but reading the jargon around AdTech makes my head spin.) Also they don't have 80% margins. People like that often find it hard to make a profit with online advertising so the scammers take their place.
Well, thank goodness for accessibility requirements, at least in California. There would be plenty of site owners, including the government, who'd love to make their sites much more difficult to scrape or excerpt from.
Interesting - I've just started playing around with jspm and system.js as showcased in the "Javascript in 2015" video that did the rounds (http://glenmaddern.com/articles/javascript-in-2015) and I'm wondering if there is a way to achieve something similar with that tooling? Can webpack be used alongside jspm and system.js or do I need to change the way files are required?

I have no problems with mixed motives, it's a complicated world.

But a lot of people are saying 1) this doesn't offer anything educationally that wasn't already available and 2) introduces users to restrictions that will ultimately be costs to their educational development.

There is 3) teachers will be familiar with Windows and thus more able to offer computer education with it. You can do real stuff on a Windows machine, but most of what I see on Windows machines in schools is "here kids, this is how you work Excel / Word Powerpoint". Frankly I worry that inner city schools will be blanketed with these things, with token "computer education" offered on them, and everyone congratulating themselves on addressing the technology gap while the kids learn some Office and not much more.

Doesn't that say that the tools / model being offered here is fundamentally broken? If you can't give it away without slowing down the progress you're trying to help, that's a problem.
Idioms are always language-specific. The word idiom essentially means "a peculiarity of language" or "a phrasing that wouldn't work elsewhere." But we're being vague here anyway, because 'pattern' is a vague word. Everything is a pattern. Data structures are a structured pattern of data.

Whether you choose to implement something as an array or as a hash table is a "design pattern": a pattern invoked by a designer to solve a problem. You don't have to use a singleton pattern or a visitor pattern. You choose to as a consideration of your design. But you shouldn't have to roll your own code to make that design work, because we have a name for it and we know what you're talking about. It should be in a library or in the language. (Which, in my opinion, is a farcical distinction: languages and libraries should always be considered together at all levels, including in language design.)
