I'm not sure you're disagreeing with me.

I did some google searches on "things to do in Bayview" and the like:

Bayview: Buffalo Wild Wings chain (oooh), also plenty of places to get drunk at night. Thats about it. Is there anything to actually do in Bayview other than live there and get drunk?

Riverwest: Most of the time nothing to do. Primarily a residential area and student rentals. A couple of annual festivals (like every other small town or neighborhood in the entire state) and a couple places to get drunk although not as many as the east side. They do have a cool annual bike race, again, like pretty much everywhere else.

East side: This place is more fun. Gentrification is pushing all the fun out. Still, there are some coffee shops and there are tons of places to get drunk (like every other small town in the state, LOL). The annual Brady street festival is fun but, again, its not like its the only block party in the state LOL. Madison has better block parties anyway.

Is there any city, burb, or small town in the state that doesn't offer the exact same stuff as the examples above? I can't find anything listed that Hurley, Sparta, or Beaver Dam doesn't do better. Wheres the "culture" in those neighborhoods other than having fifty places to get drunk? (and note the burbs do not exactly lack places to get drunk, LOL, so why are they a wasteland of culture if all culture is, is getting drunk?)

Some of this might be coastie / new urbanism term redefinition. When they say "culture" they seem to mean something totally different than non-coastie / non-new urbanism people, and I think that leads to confusion much like the geographic limits of city vs burb as I previously mentioned.

(edited to add, I might be brutal but I'm fair, for at least 90 mile radius, the Milwaukee city public museum and the Milwaukee city art museum are the best cultural attractions in their field and the burbs have nothing to compare WRT museums. You have to drive down to Chicago to find better museums. Then again I only go to the art museum maybe every other year, and I get the feeling that makes me an extreme art museum patron compared to most people, especially residents, who never go to either facility at all. Actually I take the train to CHC and hang out at their museums more often than I visit the locals, which is funny.)
Google does exactly the same thing.

Currently I'm in a country that didn't recognize Kosovo independence and Google shows it as disputed territory, otherwise part of Serbia. Exactly the same way for Crimea and Ukraine.

It is neither of these companies job to take sides. The simplest way is to show to each party what they want to see.

I think the main thing as pointed out is that in seeking balance a lot of 'fun' or 'interesting' elements have to be thrown out.

It is possible to unbundle Android, but if you are a phone manufacturer that makes Google Android phones, you get very strong pressure from Google if you try to also make non-Google Android phones.

All very true. The value per user is just an imperfect heuristic when other measures (such as cash flows) aren't available. It's also a decent (and still imperfect) measure for acquisition value, though it has the limits that you mentioned.

Woah. Haxe is still around?

I think Haxe made great sense from a game developer perspective a few years ago, but nowadays with JS being almost ephemeral and a fair amount of decent non-JVM and non-C/C++ alternatives around, I just wonder where Haxe fits in. (esp. because, while there's a compile-to-Android feature, there's no compile-to-iOS it seems?)

"Send Unlimited Emails To 100,000 Subscribers - $79"

So this is a spam service. OK, we need to develop a filter to mark all OwlSend email as spam.

The compiler doesn't care much how your structure element is named. The naming scheme is for the benefit of the developer. Once the program is compiled the variable is referenced by memory address, not variable name. Sorting them by name would not help there.

Twitter isn't exactly a private conversation.
I was in a similar boat with my last job doing Support/QA/Custom Development for 2 years while the "official" devs went off and made a new version of the product. About a year and a half in i brought it up and they agreed to move me out of support, but the pay raise wasn't nearly adequate for the duties expected. And I regretfully agreed to half raise now, half a raise later... (24k to 32k total) and ended up getting dev/support removed leaving me with QA (devs wanted dev back and I wasn't invited to the party). I promptly left the company and found a much better job doing Dev for 55k, which sadly burnt some bridges with people i liked.

They will likely agree that you should be moved more officially into a dev position, but since you're moving up within the same company you shouldn't expect to get paid what you think is adequate for the duties. Giant pay bumps are an extreme rarity when moving up in the same company. This isn't just an IT problem, but it is why developers don't generally stay at the same company for more than 2-3 years.

Have a friendly conversation with the right people about it, but make sure you have terms laid out that you can agree to in the long run with them, otherwise start looking elsewhere.

If you're keeping any significant portion of your existing workforce, absolutely. Doing a single round of layoffs and then being able to tell the remaining employees "If we haven't talked to you, you're staying" can make the hit to morale that much smaller. It'll still lower morale, that's unavoidable. But it will take away the stress of "is my job safe?" for the remaining employees.

I know that Chromecast OS and Android Wear they are both (sadly) based on closed operating systems and somewhat rely on Google APIs, but that shouldn't be an excuse to prevent people that don't want Google Services on their phone from using smartwatches over bluetooth or mirroring the screen to their TV in their own local network.
> The military and prison system absorb some of the least employable and underprivileged young men and women.

Have you ever actually met someone in the military, or does your knowledge come from movies and TV? The vast majority of Americans don't meet the military's standards; our officer and enlisted corps are some of the most employable people in the country. They're smart, capable and dedicated, precisely what one wants in employees.
It doesn't even really need "adaptation". It's already fairly suitable. It just needs someone to write code to use open standards instead of trying to force us in a walled garden.

I've been using RSS for 15 years now. I've watched people mock the idea in favor of $SERVICE, for a wide variety of values of $SERVICE and now most of those services are dead, Facebook already deciding what you see, and Twitter now going down this route. Meanwhile, my open-world RSS subscriptions just keep chugging along, through at least 5 different major readers I've used at various times, with subscriptions to things that update every hour and things that update every couple of months. It just keeps clocking along, delivering value, over and over and over, while walled gardens rise up, choke themselves, and die, destroying people's networks in the process. Meanwhile, I just keep on keepin' on, because I am not beholden to anybody.

(Edit: It also occurs to me to point out that my blog in its capacity as an RSS provider has survived 3 platforms now, and that the only one that required the readers to take any action was the one time I switched from the hosted service to a DNS name I control. That was less trivial though.)

There's a bajillion options that already exist... all you have to do is stop jumping into the walled garden. No matter how nice it looks. No matter how advertised it is.

Ask yourself... "Am I confident this will be here in 10 years?" RSS will be. The only way it can die is for nobody at all to use it. Will Twitter? Will Facebook? Well, I won't guarantee they won't but I'd give less than even odds for both, frankly. (At least, without some sort of major event that really changes them, like an acquisition or absorption into something else. Yes, talking about Facebook being acquired sounds strange today... a lot happens in ten years. Right, MySpace?)
Did you have any trouble finding that new position, coming from an "official" non-dev job? Or was it pretty straightforward once you showed them what you could do? I know getting your foot in the door is hard as a junior developer, so I'm inclined to stay here if they switch my title and duties.

A professional services company I worked for once did a massive layoff by calling everyone in our office at home on Thursday night and telling us to stay home Friday and wait for an envelope to be delivered via FedEx. If you were fired, you got info on severance. If you still had a job, you got info on next year's health plan options.

Of course, some employees missed the phone call and showed up at work only to be locked out. I was 2000 miles away visiting my in-laws. I called in multiple times Friday morning trying to find out if I had a job to return to on Monday. Each time, it became harder and harder to find a manager who was still "with the company". I ultimately survived but that was not the most relaxing of vacations.
SO has definitely out-stripped what came before. They were generation 1 and had gen-1 problems.

SO is generation 2, better than generation 1. But it's having gen-2 problems. I think a lot of it is because they are so proud of having fixed the gen-1 problems that they refuse to see their gen-2 problems.

Eventually we will see generation 3.

I wonder what sort of correlation there really is between learning the enemies language and winning a war against them. This big army doesn't win wars because it holds itself back for political reasons. It is not that hard. You have to be 100% focused on total destruction. That is what created the modern Germany and Japan. This half-assed modern style of warfare is good for the arms industry I guess. For them a long war is better than a won war.

If you really care about this, rebasing is a shitty solution. Patch queues like mercurial's make it much easier to logically decompose a feature into a series of patches and shuffle code between the commits until they all settle nicely.

I say this having gone from a mercurial user that produced pristine commit histories to a git user that makes dirty, nasty histories.

You do? Can you share a little bit of your experience. I just did something similar with tennis last summer and measured my improvement using the babolat play stats. If you get the chance, check out Jeff Salzenstein. I improved and learned more watching his videos and courses than I did in the last 7 years. Just for example, from the play stats I was hitting 1 out of 4 forehands in the center of my racket before I knew about Jeff Salzenstein, and in less than 1 month I was at 8 out 10 in the center. Would like to hear about your experience though.

> I've never seen a "collaborative jam session" in programming that wasn't anything but chaos

I've been a part of very organized hackathons.

In fact, I've been to hackathons that blow away any jazz I've heard in terms of artistic merit by my judgement.

Perhaps you're making the confusion of meaning "coding" when you say programming. Coding is indeed a very rote and chaotic medium. I'd hesitate to call it art.

Programming and computer science, much like pure math, are artforms of themselves which surpass any other art humanity knows.

But how often that ideal is true? It assumes that developers don't make mistakes in any of the commits, or never add "temporary" code which is removed in later commits of the feature branch. This is the reason that I tend to review a single diff, so that I don't have to browse through numerous commits and check if some line of code in a commit ends up being in the final merge diff.
