Lol, I have a post from years and years ago where I rail against 960 gs and the like "grid style sheets" for not being semantic, and about a year ago one of the authors of this emailed me asking me to amend it specifying that I wasn't talking about this. I declined, and went on to comment how the use of JavaScript for layout was even worse, lol. I was a little irritated at the hubris of the guy and may have gone a little overboard.

You can't choose such an incredibly generic name though and then expect all existing references to update, that's simply illogical.

As you say, I don't think you can have true fellowship if it does not have its basis in the truth.

I know of someone who was studying neuroscience in England, and when he thought through the ramifications of his atheist beliefs he was depressed at where it was leading for his life. He wondered if perhaps there was not something of the truth which he might have missed and I think it made him less hostile to considering the points of views of others.

Fellowship means loyalty, faithfulness, partnership, a sense of belonging, love for one another, very much like Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring. And fellowship in Christ's church can't be had outside of fellowship with the eye witness historical accounts of Jesus. John Zebedee writing from the 1st century puts it like this:

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched - this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete."

If we believe that people like John, who suffered tremendously for what they considered to be the truth, were actually telling the truth about historical events, then we can have fellowship with the apostles, and we can have fellowship with God himself.

I read The Fountainhead when I was 18 and I found it absolutely mind blowing. Needless to say, I was quite impressionable at the time, and a young atheist. The book served as positive reinforcement to me, emphasizing on belief in oneself, rather than belief in God. It was also the perfect fodder for my teen angst, wrapped in delicious ideological and intellectual mysticism.
This led me to be an unapologetic jerk to everyone around me for a year or so. I laugh thinking about it now.

I think the problem is there is no authoritative backing for anything on the linux side, with windows, if you are going to make a object-aware-pipes tool, its going to be powershell without a doubt. In linuxland, the decision is not so clear (does one implement their own? go with termkit? go with pash? go with one of the other more deviant shells?)
Social rejentom is highly connected with creativity - and not because one has more time to make art. Creativity is something which means the ability of creating new things. And there's the key. The person living around others will most probably think in a similar manner, therefore cannot be really creative. Lonely people are not affected by the society. That's why they are truly creative.
Demos were all slightly wrong on Android chrome until I rotated screen at which point they completely broke. Using js to augment layouts with useful functionality is a great idea, but relying on it for core styling is a terrible choice.
Australia has gone down this weird crypto-fascist avenue since tony Abbott was elected M. It's alarming to see a country become so repressive in such a short space of time. Of course you could say something similar about the US with the Patriot Act, but at least you could see how that was a reaction to an intense national trauma even while disagreeing with it. The developments in Australia just seem weirdly paranoid.

From what I recall, meditation has proven physiological effects on the body, so there's that. I would not be surprised if 10 days of the lifestyle described in the article would change the way you think about things, at least for a little while. Whether or not this is related to an improved life, who knows, I imagine your mileage will vary.

I watched video of a talk by one of the guys who made this - he said they thought about making a static website generator like jekyll or something which would use the in-browser version to let you preview things live, then they'd have a tool to autogenerate with mediaqueries different versions of the stylesheet for different common screen sizes so you don't need JS. Sounds like a pretty cool compromise to me!

They could be correlated. On the whole, women are more religious than men, so we should expect that if custody is biased towards the mother, custody is biased towards the religious.
> Static types require more up-front time investment with the advantage that they save time later.

What exactly is it that saves time? Is it to not have to type as much? In my experience if you use a lang with good type inference you type a lot less with strict typing than without, since you don't have to have unit tests to guard for things like typos/param order/param types.
It's more than not talking, though. It's extreme meditation. If you didn't have to worry about anything in your life for ten days, where to sleep, what to eat next, the next project, proposal, email, significant or insignificant others, where would your mind wander?

I don't think it's feel-good anything, and not claiming to be scientific. I think it's stressing the mind in a way that it's typically never stressed, resulting in outcomes that others have never experienced. And because of that, they want to share it -- as is human nature.
Constraints are the right approach to layout. This should have happened years ago. The important concept here is defining layout like this:

#elmA[top-left] == "area"[top-left];
#elmB[bottom-right] == "area"[top-right];

The trouble with this is that it's expressed as a programmer's approach; everything is about variables, not geometry. Constraints should be input from a GUI, like Dreamweaver. To see what this looks like done right, try sketch mode in Autodesk Inventor, where you can draw lines, circles, and arcs and constrain them to each other in various ways. Designers would love it if they could do layout that way, and we could lay off a few thousand Javascript programmers.
Kudos!

I've been thinking about constraint satisfaction solver for layout, and keep it in mind as a possible project for a future. Great to see someone shares this view and went on to implement it.

I haven't studied this concrete project deeply, but the idea in general seems appealing, because CSS is hell.

(The site says this constraint language is used in Apple products - I didn't know that).

As a non-designer, I disagree. I played around with FreeCAD a bit, and I was constantly wishing "just let me enter the damn formula" while messing with those graphical constraints.
Or could be it's just implemented badly there...
One of the absolute worst things about iOS development is struggling with auto layout. Sure there are some things you can do with it that are hard to do in a box layout method but 95% of the time it's just a massive headache to achieve something you could do with flexbox or even Bootstrap in a much more transparent way. In fact, one of the most appealing things about React Native is that it lets you do iOS layout with flexbox.

So I'll pass on similar constraint-based approaches to HTML layout, thanks!
If your layout system's site looks like complete arse on a major browser like IE, your layout system deserves to be ignored.

> Once you're aware of the gotchas (and keep your head stuffed with this useless info the whole time you are working with PHP) its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be..

First, you need to be aware of the gotchas. But this is not possible because,

1. We are still counting (take a look at /r/lolphp).

2. Even experienced (8+ years) php programmers know a very small percentage of the php gotchas.
See this http://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/2zhg6z/how_true_is_this.... You can see one commenter. who is an experienced php programmer who was not aware of that at the time. I myself had 8 years of experience when I was bitten by this bug..ahem..feature. So unless you haven't gone through all of /r/lolphp and commited the relavent ones to your memory and check them for every single line of code you write, you are bound to be bitten by one of those.

3. And documentation does not help. Even php core develpers agree that some of the important parts of documentation is incorrect but NO ONE CARES about things like that. Every one is out to implement flashy new stuff that fanboy can brag about. Even the existing documentation is does not go much deep into details. eg this is the php.net page regarding exception handling

http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php

compare this to Pythons documentation

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#try

If you want to find how a return statement behaves inside of a finally block, the info simple isn't present in the php's documentation. Because "who cares because we copy stuff from java, so we probably does not not what is important to document anyway."..

I mean, it is very subtle and the recent 'facelift' that php received makes it hard to see its truly shitty nature for newcomers. When they look, they see all the shinny new features (often half assed) and think that php is on the same level as Python or whatever....
The plan is to have it implemented in other languages as well. It is expected to be ported to mbed (https://mbed.org/) by the end of the year.

I know a number of people who've done Vipassana retreats, and there do appear to be material changes in their lives after. How long those benefits last seems to correlate pretty strongly with whether they continue to meditate upon returning home.

So, yes. Anecdotally, anyway. Leaving entirely aside, you know, all the research on the benefits of meditation, ever.
People have been meditating for at least 3,500 years, I wouldn't call it a fad.

Where do junior developers come from? (2014)
I tried Vipassana on my own while I was a student (it was much easier to get stretches of peaceful time). I read the instructions from a book and managed to get into a different state of mind in about 45 minutes or so.

Is there really some point in sitting and trying it all day long? I mean, if you cannot "get" it within an hour, aren't you doing something wrong? Or it takes different length of time for different people?

What was your experience? How long it took you to get into the other "state"? Were you able to get into it much faster afterwards?

> A hard-line "nothing less than absolute and total devotion is even worth considering, and therefore fundamentally not worth your time" is not.

Judaism is about how to have a relationship with God. How can a human hope to do that? By doing what God asked. But also by arguing over what God wants.

It's like how do you have a relationship with a person you never met? By reading his writings.

The atheists in the story probably spend more time thinking about God than a regular member. By doing what God wants (the actions), and by thinking about him constantly, they probably have a deeper relationship with God than others do.

> But, just, if you ever wonder why it is shrinking instead of growing- FYI.

Judaism is not looking for converts. If you want to convert you can, but Judaism isn't going to try to convince you, or tell you your path in life is wrong. Non-Jews can live perfectly meaningful lives.
It feels strange to say this here, and apologies if it's not etiquette, but if you're interested in discussing this and exchanging perspectives, don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

I've dedicated a significant part of my post-teens to trying to crack this nut and become more socially active and 'adjusted', at the expense of the solitary and creative endeavors that characterized my younger, lonelier years.

Sometimes I wish I hadn't, as my 'creative output' suffered and at my current age I sometimes wonder if it was worth it. I am also doing well financially, but I know I could've achieved much more in terms of projects if I had not focused on the 'social world' as much.

I'd very much like to exchange perspectives with someone who took the path I didn't take, so to speak. And maybe we can even be of help to each other.

On a side note: is there any idiom-agnostic programming language? I only know that APL is.
The missing part in the DOM is:

freeze()

doLotsOfUpdates()

thaw()

So one would have to reinvent this. Kind of reminds of propeties in some languages, runtimes and their UI's:

someForm.setWidth(500); // And it's updated right away on the screen, instead of being deferred, or put in some freeze()/thaw() mode. (disableUpdates() / enabledUpdates()).

I've been forever scarred - in a good way - by the James Burke series "the day the universe changed". In I think the penultimate episode he explains as we watch a dramatization of a witch being tried and burned at the stake that the people perpetrating the horrible act truly believed that they were doing a good thing. That their reality included witches and Devils and gods and that they were doing this woman a favor for her immortal soul.

It sounds rediculous to us today but sending someone to be medicated because they don't adhere to your particular belief system seems right in line with that kind of thinking. (To say nothing of religions that practice exorcism,
Rebirthing and eschewing gluten. )

Personally I wonder what beliefs we hold today will be absolutely appalling to our descendants 400 years from now. Probably eating meat (and I say this as someone that is in now way pro-veg, and I eat meat all the time - I just suspect we will find that our current working theories of animal behavior will prove that we are morally responsible for great pain in other sentient beings.) because our society keeps it acceptable in our perceived (or imposed) reality.
This is pretty neat. I've not taken a close look at the implementation but I'll definitely do that (if it isn't a whole lot of effort could you please describe/document the design and approach taken ?)

I've had thoughts about solving this problem previously but never acted on it. My thoughts on this however were along the lines of providing the ability to re-define the keywords and builtins as part of the interpreter itself in such a way that even the prompt could accept non-english input.

Thinking about this is natural when one is Indian[1] and ends up working with some really talented people who have weak English skills simply because their primary education was conducted entirely in a non-English medium.

A lot of words used to express programming ideas are difficult for non-native English speakers to remember even if the ideas themselves are not (think abstraction, encapsulation, introspection, reentrant, idempotent ...etc) and the effort required to remember and use them correctly when communicating with other devs is higher (IMHO) for non-native English developers. Of course this is non an India specific issue, and of course English is the lingua franca of technology but that shouldn't be the barrier to entry for learning programming.

kudos on the effort once again !

I don't think it performs poorly, it's simply missing functionality to stop update right away, but rather sit there wait for a bunch of commands to come in, and then update.

It's possibly missing this "mode" because of other factors (what if you never put it back in "updates enabled" mode?)

Sometimes, you meet a new person and the first thing that you notice is the immense calm on their faces. You get good vibes from them. And even without talking, you can tell they are nice people.

It happened with me recently a few times. As I got to know those people better, I learnt that they've all done Vipassana at some point in their lives. It might sound mumbo jumbo but these are the facts.

I haven't done Vipassana but my girlfriend did, about a few months back. Honestly, I didn't see any noticeable change in her. I mean she loves puppies now as much as she did earlier. She definitely did have trippy, out of body experiences. Perhaps, others who don't see her as often as I do might be able to tell some very visible, external changes.

However, there was one very peculiar effect. She had been complaining of a chronic back pain for almost a year. After she returned, her back pain was 90% gone!

Some of my close friends have also recently returned from it, and they all seem calmer, more mindful people now.

Sass might make it more complex, but after learning it you save an extraordinary amount of time. I also don't find CSS that hard to work with anyway though.
It took me about a week. And it totally caught me off-guard. I had no expectations going in.

It definitely takes different people different amounts of time. And if you are suffering, it is that much more difficult because you have pain that is holding you with attachment.

I'm not able to get into that state very quickly at all...I haven't been in that state for years actually.

SO yeah - we (so called) web analysts know that and even have ideas/means to track the number of people that disable js by default or that block every form of (browser based) tracking.

You get locked (most of the time), but you can block this (most of the time) as well.

I can't tell if you're complainin about inherent difficulty in this stylesheet language, or just about introducing a new stylesheet language with a learning curve. If the former, I would disagree—it seems easier and much more useful than CSS to me. If the latter, well, any new language or technology has a learning curve, and it's rarely easy to know whether it will be worth learning.
The report concluded, "Scientific research on meditation practices does not appear to have a common theoretical perspective and is characterized by poor methodological quality. Firm conclusions on the effects of meditation practices in healthcare cannot be drawn based on the available evidence. Future research on meditation practices must be more rigorous in the design and execution of studies and in the analysis and reporting of results." (p. 6) It noted that there is no theoretical explanation of health effects from meditation common to all meditation techniques.
