I was born in a large city and we moved to a rural area when I was in grade school. We lived there for years and it was okay, but when I was a teenager I moved out at 16 and made my way back to the big city.

I never moved back to the country. Okay to visit, but fuck that, I realized quickly that I much preferred the city over the country.
Totally off topic, but it seems every website I've visited today has had some utterly obnoxious pop up appear when I'm half way through a sentence.

I hope this is a short lived trend.
General consensus on hacker news seems to be angularjs making breaking changes bad, io.js making breaking changes good.
Took a quick look at Slack, what does upwork and Slack have in common, it looks to me that they are operating in different markets.
At the same time, if standing up for code quality implies a "fight" then there are several issues, only one of which is the actual code quality.

CC does matter, even if in a limited sense: the more that can happen in a chunk of code, the harder it is to reason about. I guess I'd always thought that was obvious, because it's the same way with everything. Dismissing it out of hand is disingenuous.

That said, metrics matter at different times, and in different ways. Sometimes things are just complex at the method level.

In any case, if coworker is disregarding input, there's a systemic issue at the personal level. I hope you're just using hyperbole when you say the only course of action is a fight: that's an extreme escalation pretty early in the process.

If the coworker disagrees with the opinion, why not just have a conversation about what both parties mean by "complex"? List the tradeoffs that are being made (e.g., deep vs. wide) and why making or not making them makes sense.

People can discuss differences without "fighting" in any sense of the word. If they can't, they shouldn't work together, because it's stupid and a waste of time.
This is big news – director Joss Whedon quits Twitter
I'd think rather then edibles it'd be hash. Hash can be quantified much easier then the plant, and if it were legal I can see disposable hash ecigs becoming a trend. Plus it's easier to just extract from entire plants and filter then it is to trim and cultivate good looking plants.
Just humored that someone quitting twitter is now major news.
Where does the idea of databases being mostly CPU-bound come from? It's disk I/O that is the bottleneck.
This is not really so much true today, but adding trills and other ornamentation used to be a central part of performance. Also, on a real piano, the touch each note is played with is far more nuanced than simply "loudness".
My palm already hits the button in the bottom-right hand corner all the time in certain apps with tabs, like the twitter app.

I really wish they'd get rid of that bottom tab bar and shove them under a hamburger button even though that's supposedly bad.
Are there valid alternatives ?

What is the preferred platform for freelances looking for remote work at decent rates, today ?
At a suburban population density of 640/mi^2 (1 acre/person), a circle with 3 mile radius covers 18000 people. A 2 mile radius covers 8000. A 1.5 mile radius covers 4500. A 1 mile radius, only 2000. A 0.5 mile radius has 500 people in it.

Realistically, a person walking at 3 mi/h won't walk more than 0.5 miles to visit the local shop, and a person bicycling at 12 mi/h won't go more than 3. They won't, unless they are combining trips. If the shop is on the way to somewhere else, or a very short distance beyond their primary destination, they might go further overall.

But pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure is practically nonexistent anywhere in the US except for a bare handful of cities and suburbs. Many places don't even have sidewalks. Nearly everyone uses an automobile for personal transport.

As such, the "local shop" is right there at the gas station. We call them "convenience stores". They are most often placed at the intersection of arterial roads. So if you are lost in the back streets of suburbia, you will never see one.

It doesn't make sense from a planning perspective, but it does from a money perspective. When a developer subdivides a large property, they reserve commercial lots next to the arterial road, and build access roads past those into the residential lots. In theory, once the houses are 80% built, all that residential traffic will be flowing past the commercial lots at least twice per day, and a business will build there.

In practice, the developer exits after 95% of the houses are built, dumps the remaining 5% and the commercial lots on a strawman company, moving on to the next subdivision, and those businesses never actually get constructed.

So you end up with huge areas of houses and very few businesses. There might be one strip mall every 3 miles, filled with businesses that usually last a few months before failing from lack of customers. (The exception is the pizza delivery, which will be absolutely thriving.)

Residential buildings simply have a higher profit margin. Think about that before you decide to trust the developer's "phase IV" plans, when you're buying in "phase I".

> This is a misleading interpretation in general. The init system (though really the process manager) starts the services to enable all these things. The simplest form is just a synchronous tool that exec()s binaries.

Even in traditional init systems, networking configuration is written into the init scripts themselves. For starting the desktop and udev, sure, the init script just starts a service, typically through start-stop-daemon, but the actual network configuration logic is in the init scripts.
All day I can watch the V-22 Osprey tiltrotors come in in VTOL mode and land at the Pentagon. They seem even more common than transport helicopters. Now that the early crash-kinks are worked out, they're a truly amazing aircraft. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey
He was being sarcastic. It was obviously not an adventure in the Famous Five sense.

Europe is really suffering now because of the idiocy of American politicians. There are massive waves of migrants fleeing Syria into Europe via boats. Thousands are dying at sea, hundreds of thousands are arriving or being rescued. There is nowhere to put them all. America and its stooges turned these north African countries into anarchy zones and now Europe is paying the price of taking care of the refugees.

RFC 7525: Recommendations for Secure Use of TLS and DTLS
Sheep and farming are not incompatible with programming, or else: explain Jeff Minter!
I admire this man for the honesty and courage to do something different. I read the companion post and got to this:

Today, however, I sit here writing this post as a 32-year-old man with a head of gray hair, a mind that cannot stop thinking a million miles a minute about a million different things, and eyes that have only been open to the digital world. I am burnt out on writing code. I am burnt out on configuration. I am burnt out on automating monotonous tasks. I am burnt out on completing tickets. I am burnt out on completing tickets that undo what those other tickets accomplished. I am burnt out on debugging third-party advertising code. I am burnt out on having 16 terminal tabs open. I am burnt out on contributing to the “connected” culture. I am burnt out on having a “40 hour” work week that actually occupies the majority of my mental time. I am burnt out on sitting at a desk. This state of being burnt out has invaded so much of my out-of-work life that I have decided to take my Life back.

So much of that is congruent with my experience as well. Yet, for reasons that seem hard to explain at first, I go deeper into the beast rather than move away from it (and my choice is in no way superior). I love what technology can do-- liberate humanity from drudgery, improve the human quality of life, make interactions and knowledge and discovery possible that wouldn't otherwise be-- and I enjoy the intellectual challenge. I hate so much of what it's actually used to do: serve the short-term economic interests of power-holders who are incompetent but don't want to give up their seats.

As much as I love being in the forest, I must be a natural urbanite because I have a natural draw toward being in the main fight. Even with the risk and clamor, I like carrying a sword (metaphorically speaking, since my chosen war is cultural and therefore fought by typing rather than swinging a blade). I feel like it is my destiny to be in the fight to take technology back from the current crop of useless power-holders. I want to be in this war, and I really fucking want to win it, but I can't blame anyone for wanting to get the fuck out of it and work on a farm. It's an appealing idea.

I'm not anti-farming (I mean, I like food) but I also recognize that, without technology, life would be a lot worse than it is right now. Not all of us can be farmers, not anymore. Munching Jira tickets to appease some middle manager may be a waste of life (nay, it is) but I still feel like what we do as technologists (or, at least, what we can do) is important. We're a part of evolution and progress... even if many of us get drawn down into nonsense.

Reading the OP, I'm really glad that he found work that enjoys and that gives him a sense of purpose, and I hope that that never changes for him. I also find it sad that technology gave him such a useless, negative experience (munching tickets instead of driving forward progress) and see fit to take that as a warning.
I upgraded to 15.04. No real problems. In fact, systemd nicely addressed a few things that were really awkward for me before, and the integration with containers is very nice.
The "history lesson" was delivered by Judge Pregerson, who is 91 years old [1] and presided at the argument. Popehat's article notes that Judge Pregerson began the day by announcing that it was the 70th anniversary of the day that he, then a young Marine officer, was severely wounded in the Battle of Okinawa. If he had said he'd been wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg, it would have been only a little more surprising. It's both amazing and wonderful that a WWII veteran is still actively serving on the bench.

In the 80's I wrote pascal code on my 8088 box to generate mandelbrots. Would leave it running overnight, and excitedly jump out of bed in the morning to see what it produced. Four colour CGA awesomeness. Impressed the teachers at school, they had no idea what to make of it. (Unfortunately no girl ever kissed me because of my teenage fractal prowess.)

My eyes are watering watching these new 3D creations.
While I certainly don't see myself rushing off to work on a farm, I do feel a bit lately like I'm looking for something "more". The day-to-day drudgery of sitting in cubicle is slowly turning me sour.

I've made the first steps to more working at home (just asking my boss). I'll start with 1 day a week and I'm already feeling great about that tiny shift.
What you are and what you do are 2 diffrent things.Programmer is a profession not a lifestyle. I was this Outdoor Guy, I did skiing instructor in the winter and mountainbike guide in the sommer. Later on I was this Soundtec Guy, you know doing shows in diffrent towns every night. My mistake and why I failed at both in the end was because I thought this would be my life while it only was my job. And like every job there are pros and cons and when times where getting harder I failed because I couldn't think of it as my only my job but my life. We tend to romanticize our jobs, which is I think is the basic problem here.
That conflicts with a different cultural "fact" I have about US citizens. They love convenience (for example, "convenience stores") and willingly pay extra for it.
Complexity is not a problem if something is achieved with it. That said, a complex problem will often require a complex solution and sometimes the simplest solution is the most appreciated, efficient or elegant.

Poor maintainability /extensibility / modularity /scalability, bad encapsulation, abundance of side effects, spaguetti and raviolli code - among others - are perhaps the real problem you're seeing behind your coworker's complex design.

It is not a war that can be easily won though, you can see how in the java ecosystem unnecessary complexity is the norm. And outside java too we see unnecessarily complex frameworks or libraries gaining heavy traction.
If you haven't figured out what you need to know in 5 to 10 minutes of pair programming, you're doing it wrong. There's absolutely no reason to subject yourself or others to an interview that is over an hour long.

When I conduct interviews, I make every effort to keep them to 15 minutes. If we end up chatting for longer than that, that's fine, but the planned and structured part of my interviews are no more than 15 minutes long.

The way I look at it, if a company can't respect my time and can't optimize theirs, I don't want to work for them anyway.
Un .LAGUIOLE au second cycle d’appel à candidatures?
I couldn't do this; I'm too addicted to always being "on".
I'm constantly checking my work phone for email (even after hours and on weekends) just to see what's going on (I'm a remote worker). I constantly look at my phone (reading everything and anything; not using FB as I'm not very social that way). I lie down to go to sleep at night and my brain is literally buzzing. My focus is shit. The other day I thought I'd try the pomodoro technique to help with that, but proceeded to spend 6 hours trying to find just the right timer. Then ended up writing my own. But there's no way in Hell I could stop being always "on".
Locate That Person - A way to assist in searching for people who are missing
You didn't ask me, but I dont believe society has an obligation, I think it should do it because at a basic level, the outcomes are better for society as a whole.

I think individuals absolutely have an obligation to society (different, but similar to a family obligation), and just like if you have a family member who is off their rocker, the outcomes are generally better for everyone if we take care of the problem early and try and fix the root cause so they can get healthy again.

I sort of think of it as a bad analogy for the iterated snowdrift[0] where we can simply sit there and complain that the other person isn't doing their part, or we can continue to shovel and get the benefit ourselves. Best case we can induce them to help us with the shoveling, worst case the snow is cleared.

Money changing hands doesn't depreciate the value of something.

Your gelateria analogy is flawed, because the gelateria is already a commercial enterprise, making gelato and selling it to customers.

A more apt analogy would be someone who - as a hobby - makes the best damn gelato on the planet...when he has the time.

I think what @eigenvalue was getting at was something like, "hey, I bet people would pay for your gelato, so you could turn this into something more than just a hobby."

I wasn't thinking about excluding non-tech people (my girlfriend has no tech background). I was just thinking about building a company with like-minded people with some technical skills and experience, while living together and working on a farm, including the families which may or may not have a technical background. Sure there might be a need for marketing or sales people as well, but that's a bit too detailed for now, considering it is nothing more than an idea yet ;)
It would be good paired with a movement sensor, like kinect, so you could do mock conducting.

As junto noted, you are using a pre-built theme. In light of that, what is the reason for your post? You would like to know if people like the theme that someone else built, and you used?
Their IDE is web only, though they just open sourced a good portion of it. I have found that most people use vim or emacs. If you are trying to decide, I'd pick emacs, as Chris Done has written some nice scripts (https://github.com/chrisdone/structured-haskell-mode). Personally I use vim. Also check out ghc-mod and hdevtools.
I admire your stance against ads.

However, you are refusing to pay the developer $0.99 (correction: $0.70 to the developer) for the exact same product which you said would "easily" pay $2 for.

If you are genuinely so against this business model, why do you own an iOS device? It's Apple pushing this, not the lone developer you've arbitrarily decided to punish.

For a start eye witness reports are not exactly scientific evidence. Humans can be easily mislead. Maybe they were military flares.

> What is an extraordinary evidence for you?

Any alien piece of technology. Forget tech, I am assuming an alien Pencil would be out of this world too.

> Even if thousands of people saw something out of this world is not enough of evidence?

That is my point, thousands saw yet nobody captured it on a good high definition camera. Now everyone has HD cameras yet no sign on UFO's, coincidence?

IMO The only fundamental skill that is relevant to music is the ability to express a particular feeling, and effects can "completely change" one's ability to do that.

The only way you could quantify the type of skill you seem to be referring to is to entirely remove any degree of expression or improvisation (or effects) and boil it down to the raw performance data. You may then succeed in determining who is objectively a "better" musician but you've lost all the aspects that make a Beatles song based on a I IV V chord progression sound different than one by the Velvet Underground, or anyone else.

EDIT: also, yes to some degree that is how harmonic distortion works, though the particular harmonics and amplitudes of those harmonics vary widely and there is often some filtering added to reign in those harmonics in a particular way. Distortion also effectively compresses the signal. Sometimes it starts oscillating and generating notes that aren't even being played. The point is that if you're playing with the distortion (not just laying it on top) then it is changing how you play.

What are interviewers looking for>

You can tell a great deal about the interviewers sophistication, business acumen, and level of seniority by the types of questions they ask.

The puzzler question may come off amateurish. Sometimes the interviewer is simply probing for emotional intelligence and good humour. They want to know if you'll be a cultural fit and accretive to the team. Play along, it's part of the process.

Sadly, the first level of interviews are often done by low-level types, even worse...HR flunkies.
Everything in moderation.

Like you said, you dedicated a lot of time to work, now reserve some of that time to talk to your friends too (call the ones that you lost touch but still like).

Is just a matter of focus too, instead of working long hours everyday, take some time to work on your friendships.

To start 1 night a week to call or meet someone really helps, then go from there.

(also I would suggest for you to not drink alone, you could create a rule to only drink if someone is joining you, seriously, don't drink alone.)

I use org-mode every single day for scheduling and programming. The problem I've got with org-mode is that it is the most unstable project I've ever seen that wasn't considered to be in beta status.

Not only do they change things all the time, making old documentation useless, they'll break things and provide no documentation. For example, I used to use Beamer export for presentations. Then they changed to the new exporter without giving any explanation of how to use it.

I now use Pandoc for things like presentations. It just works for the most part. And importantly, there's actually documentation, as opposed to scraps scattered around the internet that might sort of do what you need if they're sufficiently recent.

It's called the Deep State. Germans feel outrage because, up to now, the Deep State was meant to keep the volatile and dangerous (not to mention swarthy and Muslim) Turks in line. now the Germans find they don't really run their own country for the purpose of anything of importance to the US. Their "democracy" is as well-managed as Turkey's.
Interesting but unrelated observation -- I've never heard Bruce speak but I've been reading his writings for a couple years now. His voice sounds exactly how I thought it might.

My apologies for the dismissive tone in my first post. I can't and didn't downvote any of your posts. I misinterpreted your "don't listen to this advice" to be the strict opposite of what your explanation was: "don't listen to everyone else, but DO listen to me." I too (as many of us have) have been in similar shoes re: depression and anxiety. Finding what works for each of us as individuals is the most important thing. I agree with the potential therapeutic benefits of hallucinogens, but I also am a firm believer in the trial-backed science of medicine and therapy as the first and best line of defense. "Ultra-safe sterile" or not, it's the best answer for the broadest range of people. Call me a Vulcan, but that's what I'd suggest for people that are on "the edge", instead of "getting dirty" or "make mistakes", both of which might help, but also might let people slide further into the abyss. At least with medicine and their "black-box" labels, you are under the monitoring of a trained professional that can catch and negative side-effects of the medication. Best of luck on your quest to get and stay better.
