You could offer to sit with him while he works through a similar problem to you, to see where he wastes time, creates work for himself or duplicates tasks. You can then be the voice telling him when to move on.

It sounds like he would benefit from a closer inspection of his working practises. Perhaps he needs to be managed in a different way. For example same amount of work just delivered as smaller tasks with shorter deadlines to avoid overwhelm. Maybe to start with, instead of him being part of an hourly weekly meeting, maybe he needs a 10 minute chat per day to help him to catch up, prioritise and plan the next day. This obviously would be the responsibility of his manager to take on.

Perhaps some training in planning out his working day in advance would throw out some interesting changes in how he learns to manage his own time.

I think the worst thing that could be done is to restrict his working hours which would add an extra level of worry - so he is sitting at home more stressed than if he was working.

The most important thing is to help him catch up so he is then receptive to support helping him keep on track.

> So it appears this is happening with Stack Overflow knowing about it and approving it, after all — they implemented schema.org.

Not really. As far as I know, implementing schema.org means your data is structured, not that anyone can do whatever they want with it. The real reason Google can do it is because Stack Overflow user submitted content is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Unfortunately Google is not complying with the license since it requires providing a link to it and indicating which changes were made[0].

There is a mechanism in schema.org to specify licenses[1]. I couldn't find it in SO answers' attributes, but Google shouldn't assume that means they can do whatever they want with the content! In fact, wouldn't that mean the content is under copyright (unless specified otherwise) and therefore not remixable/shareable? As far as I can tell, even if those are excerpts, Google's use does not fall under fair use.

Anyways, props to SO for choosing CC BY-SA for their user submitted content. I think it's fair (after all SO feeds from their users) and, even if detrimental to their interests in the short term, in the long term builds trust among their users.

You can get great dependency injection with steal.js http://stealjs.com/

CanJS http://canjs.com/ can do single page apps, data-binding, and is modular, though it takes a little more configuration than Angular. You might appreciate its ability to be configured though.

You don't need Angular and all its troubles!

These filters have nothing to do with police surveillance.

And you're wrong about how the UK public feels about surveillance. The UK has more CCTVs than most countries and we didn't get here by most of the public hating cctv.

Here is a story from this year where police request men to give a DNA sample, and 500 men voluntarily give police a DNA sample. Are all these men "astrotrufers"?

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-30972723

We have CCTV everywhere. People in the UK object when they think it's misused - councils checking whether people are using the right bins for example - but even then (councils checking whether people claiming to live in a school's catchmet area actually live there) you don't have to look hard for people defending that.

If yu want to have any hope of changing the surveillance culture you need to accept that most people in UK just don't know much about surveillance and wouldn't care much if they did know.
The Features page says it is "horizontally scalable (no brokers, seamlessly add more nodes to the cluster)", but the Design page says you need to run a 'nsdq' daemon - which is a message broker - i.e. you cannot embed the daemon into your application?
I strongly disagree with parts of your post. I just now learned that there is something like "MRU". I've tried to search for a Chrome extension that does it before, without luck. I don't see why they should be mutually exclusive. I use Ctrl+(Shift+)Tab a lot (in addition to Alt+1-9) but would also like to "Go back to the previous tab" using some OTHER keyboard shortcut.

edit: Just tried Vivaldi and they've disabled both of those shortcuts that I use ALL THE TIME. Makes it more or less unusable.

That's not really a solution to anything. Websphere is used and essential to lots of companies. They might hate the software but they'd hate hearing it being end-of-life'd even more.

With a company of IBM's size, there's no need to move people from Webpshere to some other project. You can shake out a few dozen engineers from anywhere without their managers even noticing.

Firing a few thousand bureaucrats would go a longer way toward improving product quality than ending product lines.

As detailed in TFA, this only happens for sites that have been intentionally set up for it to happen, via microformats. Perhaps there is a risk that a particular site will cease to operate in that fashion, but it would just be replaced by another, and Google are pretty good at choosing the most appropriate links to highlight.

I think there are some non-profits, but I think they are mostly foreign.

First, Amazon rainforest is HUGE, VERY HUGE, dense, hard to navigate, among other things, this make patrolling it effectively impossible.

Second, there are still uncontacted tribes there, and they are very violent (it is the reason why they are still uncontacted, they DON'T want contact, and are not afraid to turn white or black people stalking around into arrow pincushions), and some other tribes that deeply distrust white people for past transgressions, thus wandering around is dangerous (including for the loggers, it is not uncommon to see natives vs loggers wars that leave a couple of people dead, also natives vs miners happen frequently too, Amazon rainforest soil is rich in very valuable minerals).

It is a very hairy problem, the brazillian government has two specialized agencies working on this (Funai, that works with native americans, and Ibama, that is the envionmental agency), has satellites dedicated to that (Brazil builds satellites to track deforestation, and I believe China launches them for us, since we exploded our launch platform and rocket), and there is the police and the army working with this.

That said, it is still not working, not because of the loggers, or miners, but because of corrupt politicians that own land there, there is a huge problem of politicians (and some other high power people, like judges) that "somehow" end with huge tracts of land that have only forest in it, then they clear the land to put cattle in it, the activity of illegally clearing forest to put cattle in its place is making the deforestation rate rise (instead of declining despite all the efforts).

Finally, a couple of non-profit workers and Ibama workers were murdered around the area, seemly usually by politicians, one notorious case two Ibama workers were murdered by a city mayor, that even after conviction and arrest still got re-elected (yay for democracy), and Dorathy Stang case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Stang

One situation where I felt compelled to use lots of currying was when I was working with a promise library for async code. There are lots of little callbacks you need to use and you benefit from having combinators that act as function versions of js operators, like "+", "[]" and so on and currying helps cut down on the number of combinators you need.

That said, I didn't end up being a big fan of it in the end. Other people can get confused by the new abstractions the combinators introduce and whenever you pass the wrong number of arguments to a function you end up with very tricky runtime errors (this isn't an issue in Haskell because the type system checks this for you)
> Bollocks. Have you been to both countries?

That's not the point. The point is that, from a NATO point of view, they are both necessary allies but also de-facto adversaries on many chessboards. It's not a secret that Turkey is helping IS in the Kurdish regions, for example; like it's not a secret that SA helps radical militias the US reportedly opposes. They simply have different long-term strategic objectives from NATO's, including a different view of the role of religion as instrument of power.
If so, can the people and companies that were affected file a class action?
Stack Overflow utterly destroyed the other answer sites for just this reason: they make choices based on what is best for the user, not Stack Overflow. Check the traffic of Expert Sexchange, or Quora, vs. the entire SO network. If all you care about is short term gains, you lose to the company that wants to build a trusted brand.

At least that's the way I think it should work out, and in this case I think it has. There is such a clear delineation between good and evil in this market, and such a clear leadership position held by the "good", that it's interesting that folks are wringing their hands worrying about whether SO gets enough impressions out of this. They don't need/want merely impressions. They want your trust and your participation. I know where I go when I have a question...how about you?
What would be the replacement? Despite abuses and missteps, CIA does serve a valuable role. It would similar to the argument to disband police departments because of abuses.

I know GCHQ contractors (BAE Detica, funded as a part of the "Mastering The Internet" tender) had a hand in at least some of it; it's not unreasonable to guess it might've been that module, as that does link it?

That study / blog post is certainly partisan - but it is written by an energetic vegan (hmm, you'd think that'd be an oxymoron).

My current opinion on government hacking is, that I actually want democratic government to be the biggest meanest hackers of them all.

The alternative, unfortunately, is that either organized crime or non-democratic governments (or a combination of both) would be the biggest meanest hackers.

And hacking doesn't really scale. Mass surveillance just through attacking individuals with malware isn't possible, because of limited "talent" and a fear for exposing the tools, like just happened.

Building backdoors into systems or encryption schemes, on the other hand, isn't exactly hacking but does scale well to undiscriminate spying on millions of people.

The main issue is that intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the western world aren't bound to judicial control as tightly as they should. It also seems that a majority of voters either consent to these powers, or don't care. When politicians want to appear "acting decisively" after terrorist attacks, or foreign hacking incidents, it's not just because they like to do so. They know that, if they don't, voters will disapprove.
Uh, wasn't Regin apparently used in the Sony hack?
Nothing like waking up to a story that makes you feel embarrassed by your citizenship. Good job Canada, you're making a Maple Leaf a dangerous symbol all around the world.

Oops yes, forgot to preface that the police should need a warrant first - I'm not so sure with the security services, probably they should but from a secret, faster process - with more lenient requirements than the police.

Overall though I agree with basically everything you say. I'm just tilted a little more towards longer retention and more information than you I guess.

I concede it is possible that I jumped in here and made blanket statements that aren't 100% realistic. The general sentiment does reflect my opinion though.

Thankfully this is why we have democracy, so a more tempered approach most people agree with can be used :)

By the way your comments come across as more balanced and reasoned than I lot I read expressing basically the same viewpoint.

As has been pointed out many times, that's the difference between science and religion. From day, scientists are trained to understand their beliefs and understandings must be based on the evidence before them, and that if the evidence no longer supports the belief, a new belief must be adopted. Religion is based on the idea that the belief is right, and everything else must adopt to it, regardless of the evidence.
Well, there's a whole lot of no-UI browsers out there for you. Hell, almost all available browsers fit in this category.

I can understand that. For me, though, I use middle click to close tabs significantly more often than I move the browser window to another monitor. So I'd rather live with having to click an empty space farther to the right of the tabs when I actually do move the window.

I could learn to use CTRL+F4 to close tabs, but I find that slower than just middle clicking the tabs.
I am confused in just about everything you said. So what do you endorse and what

How would that fit in a democratic government?
I have been using this browser for the last 4-5 hours. It is fairly good. However, some pages like Dr. Dobbs and Vivaldi's own forum makes all shortcuts fail. The only solution seems to be to alt-tab to some other window and then use the shortcut. That said, the browser is really neat to use.
Indeed the filters are very unpopular and the uptake figures haven't significantly changed from July, as far as I know?

Claire Perry MP was campaigning for porn censorship by default. She's only got that from Sky now, a huge reversal from what they said before, and when you see that not even 10% of their customers who were asked wanted it, it's clear their brand manager's made a huge mistake making it opt-out.

I thought then, and think now, that the TalkTalk bias is due to the demographics of the users of that ISP. Everyone with the technical skill to visit SamKnows or ThinkBroadband knows TalkTalk are poorly-rated and thus tends to avoid choosing them, I'd venture.

As said before, censorship infrastructure itself presents a very real vulnerability, although this doesn't seem to be fully appreciated by many of the stakeholders.

I love how they repeatedly frame the internet censorship as "porn filter".

Even in the face of (their statistics)6 out of 7 people opting out, it's still desperately trying to be presented as the feature that will save you from the bad parts of the internet. The implication being that the majority of people (everyone who has opted out) are morally corrupt, bad people with no interest in "child safety" or "family friendly" features.

I imagine Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It screaming down to the BBC offices and making sure they use the official party line regarding "porn filter" vs "Great Firewall of Cameron".
Without access to the rest of the internet they'd have to rely on sneakernet to get the private server software.

> Makes it more or less unusable.

As is Chrome for me because they disabled ctrl+tab :)

Either way, I think we can agree, that shortcuts should be something that user can configure.
It depends on just who you are attacking. Terrorist groups, criminal organizations or criminal individuals are legitimate targets of a cyber attack, just as they could and should be put under conventional surveillance.

If government agencies attack ordinary citizens or companies, without legitimate authorization, than it's not a problem of means or tools but rather a problem with democratic or judicial oversight on these organizations.
I rather like the idea of Malcolm Tucker protecting the world from obscenities.

American mass-market chocolate is so deeply inferior to chocolate in other parts of the world. They should be embarrassed to stoop to this level, though given the shared trademarks and exclusive brand agreements I understand why the court may have gone this way.

It's not surprising, however, that their instinct was to sue rather than simply make better chocolate. Making better chocolate costs money, which adds up over time. Though I can't imagine why anyone would ever buy most Hershey's products. They're generally awful, over-sweet, and gritty.
How can they provide adequate defenses without having the best offensive hackers? At the very least, penetration testing is an indispensable tool in cyber security.

Also, surveillance of criminal and terrorist organizations without offensive capabilities is impossible.
