awesome, you still remember us :-) (I'm the founder of happinessmetric.com and antjanus and me had some conversations in the past about features)

I have some experience in happinesstracking as we do that for years in our company and I provide a similar web service for others. Some takeaways are:

- almost nobody wants to track every day

- many people want to track by events (something very good or very bad happened)

- it's more valuable, if you track a complete team or company and share the insight

- just ask for one metric, make all others optional

All the best for you guys, I love all the other people & services that do mood/happiness/satisfaction tracking/metrics.

This one struck me hardest yesterday. Long ago, when I discovered Ornette Coleman, I listened to nothing but "The Shape of Jazz to Come" nonstop for three weeks straight, just trying to wrap my head around what he was doing with the rough unisons and blurry pitch. It deeply affected me as a musician - my guitar playing today is still full of microtonal pitch bends and hard-swinging rhythmic variation in melody lines.
Another idea worth considering might be only revealing team evaluations once everyone has voted, or at least making them invisible for people who haven't voted, to avoid biasing the results.

The bigger picture for us, with Workshape.io and Retroospect, is really about understanding how happiness and work sit together and helping individuals, groups, and companies get access to this information in a format that can be used to make better decisions.

Whilst Workshape, right now, is a recruiting platform for companies who need to hire developers, we think its application is much bigger. We are looking into how to go about next steps to move into other areas and make it useful even if you aren't currently seeking a new challenge. Hopefully this would make Workshape and Retroospect very complimentary.

Blah, I think this is really simplistic and assumes way too much and doesn't look at the big picture.

The group that is delaying childbirth the most are college educated women. The assumption (which may or may not have value) is that college educated and career focused women are delaying childbirth to focus on finishing school and establishing their careers first, not that they are "bad at coupling up" because they have social difficulties. I have a personal hypothesis that college educated women may be "bad a coupling up" because they can afford to be more picky - they may not feel a need to get married or be in a relationship for economic security so they can delay "settling down with someone" until they find a more desirable partner. Or even that being college educated makes you have higher standards. (not sure about that part) Combine that with the fact that this group is very unlikely to have a child out of wedlock.

http://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/03/getting-mar...

>College-educated women are unlikely to have a child before getting married For college-educated women, the average age of first birth (30) has risen along with the average age of marriage (27). Only 12 percent of births by college graduates are to unmarried women.

>Women without college degrees are very likely to have a child before getting married Less-educated women have a much different experience with marriage and childbirth. For women without a college degree, the average age of first birth has not risen apace with the average age of marriage. The average age of first birth for this group is lower than the average marriage age. For women who dropped out of high school, the average age of first birth is 20, while the average marriage age is 25; 83 percent of first births in this demographic are to unmarried mothers. For women who graduated from high school and went to some college, the average age for first birth is 24 and the average marriage age is 27; 58 percent of first births are to unwed mothers.

In flavor, at least, this is different from the '70s. Insane government action is less apparent, e.g. no even-odd days for gas stations in the city (Nixon's wage and price controls were not relaxed for oil and natural gas, and by the late '70s bureaucrats in D.C. were e.g. directing where all refined gasoline went, in farming areas like mine we were swimming in the stuff, cities, not so much).

Inflation was raging, today's 0% or or negative real interest rates are quite different. Screwing up the Cold War was an existential threat, ISIS et. al. are not one. The Limits to Growth meme was stronger and apparently more immediate a threat than Global Warming. Space was a big letdown in that period; if you're watching it today, SpaceX is the biggest thing since Apollo, and likely more consequential (well, Apollo helped us win the Cold War, but really getting out into space will be "bigger").

The Internet and ubiquitous powerful computing (easy access to something with power akin to a Cray 1) are game changers; there's no excitement like there was with the rapid march of microprocessors then, but that was a geek thing until maybe the Apple II. But the Internet ... really, that's such a big thing I can't really grasp how much it's changed the game, despite or perhaps because I have lived it starting from before the launch of the TCP/IP Internet.
git rebase is just a mechanized cherry picker. (Agricultural implement, really, when you think about it.)

In fact, you can add arbitrary commits to the list, not only re-order the existing ones!

I sometimes do this:

$ git log --reverse --oneline here..there > arbitrary-picks

Then we edit the arbitrary-picks file so that it has the interactive rebase syntax: i.e. putting the word "pick" in front of every line. Then:

$ git rebase -i HEAD # noop!

In the editor, we delete the "noop" line and read in the arbitrary-picks:

:r arbitrary-picks

Wee, now we are picking all those commits into this branch, with the interactive rebase workflow.

That could also be an interesting approach for this...

Well I was thinking mostly of what options does Greece has if it is not allowed to print money to get out of debt. The Brazilian virtual currency, named the opposite of virtual, was an interesting idea. Another alternative could be for them to have an aggressive sales tax domestically while giving tax relief for exports, basically making them competitive internationally while their money doesn't go as far locally, but I think EU rules forbid this sort of subsidy.
Teach kids basic arithmetic WELL, teach them logic in a fun way, find a way to get them to like reading and think critically about what they read. That's fine for me. I'd do away with all the rest of math (algebra, trig, etc) and have it as optional in high school. Really, if you got the stuff above right as a kid, you don't need to learn trigonometry if you don't want to at the time.

Afri-Cola intentionally positioned itself as exotic and exciting with very risqué advertising campaigns that probably wouldn't fly today (and only make sense if you are aware how prevalent drug use was at the time).

I haven't come across that particular slogan, though.

For reference, here's a few German beverages and official slogans:

Afri-Cola: "Liebt einander und werdet durstig" / "Love each other and get thirsty" (1999)

Bionade: "Das offizielle Getränk einer besseren Welt" / "The official beverage of a better world" (2007)

Astra (beer): "Was dagegen?" / "Do you mind?" (1998)

Fritz-Kola: "Vielviel Koffein" / "Muchmuch caffeine" [sic!] (2006)

Bluna: "Sind wir nicht alle ein bisschen Bluna?" / "Aren't we all a bit Bluna?" (1995)
Often it's dealing with interfaces. A couple years ago I worked at a place with a laser cutter, like an old one. You sent instructions to a program that talked to an interface card, which controlled the cutter. The program ran under DOS. It wasn't possible to replace the OS or machine easily, because it was an ISA card and had custom interface software that relied on having direct access.
Not so sure about the "Perfect Operating System" business. More like "Parroting Operating System" business.

On one hand, it's not like everyone doesn't know the future of computer interfaces. We've all watched Star Trek TNG.

It's the more subtle aspects that we should be concerned about. Such as provider lock-in, application compatibility, open integration and privacy.

The big question is this: Is the future OS a behemoth that owns is all (with a few big partners in play), or a truly egalitarian open platform for all?
I beg to differ.

Microservices that depend on other microservices obviously are not entirely autonomous. You have to version large API changes and integration-test the whole chain of dependent services on every change.

It's not unlike libraries, just linked via network.

You are seriously misinformed. Do you really think international price disparity is due to "tariffs"? The average tariff rate is 3.5%. It's nothing to do with that.

In a globalized world where even transport costs have been nuked into the ground by megaships and their likes, prices reflect only what the local market will bear. Clothes cost more in France because the French will pay more for them, simple as. That's why we pay £ 1 for an iTunes song in UK and in the US they pay $ 1, regardless of where the music is "manufactured".
Valuations are exactly what "bubble" pertains to.

Why do people keep making the point that in this boom, tech startups actually have revenue? It doesn't mean anything if the company grosses $1 million or $0. What matters is the valuations. Even taking into account their revenues (in some rare cases, profits), the companies are wildly valued and investors are making extremely ambitious and optimistic growth assumptions.

Eh most of the time I just commit blindly as I'm working (WIP #1, #2, etc) so I can see how the code has evolved or revert to an earlier approach if I end up in a blind alley.

When the code is tested and ready I just reset the index but leave the working directory, then commit different hunks to make coherent commits.

During reviews we use fixup commits so it doesn't blast the comment history on github, then the final merge does a rebase -i --autosquash.

>If discrimination of gay people is so rampant, how can we really know what the preferred bias really is?

You can look at changes in the rates of people who report to be homosexuals between different societies who discriminate at different levels. You can also studie non-human species (especially other great apes) and notice what their numbers are like between species.

It does get messier when you start to count bi-sexuals, and especially when you consider a scale instead of a trinary classification, but it is pretty extreme to think that homosexuals make up the same portion of the population as heterosexuals.

>however sexual orientation is not genetic, and therefore should never be the choice of a parent to attempt to "choose" their child's orientation.

We still don't fully know what it is, but likely whatever it may be, one day we will have the ability to control it (I'm not talking about the current pseudo science of gay to straight conversion, but that one day we will have a much better understanding of the entire brain and will have the technology to modify it in ways that would be alien or magical right now).

Even (semi-) public history can be rewritten. At work, I'm working on a bug with several people. We created a "wild repo" that we share. The branches of test commits get rewritten regularly. You just send an e-mail "Heads up; I rewrote the test-branch". If you know what you're doing in git, it's not hard to pick up rewritten branches.

I introduced the convention of preserving the previous version of the branch as "<branch-name>.1", and the previous-previous as "<branch-name>.2" similar to rotating logs.

You obviously don't want to be doing this on a repo with thousands of downstreams. The point is that "private" can have a somewhat larger scope than "just my single local repo".
The same reason you don't put a space heater and window AC in every room. Because it's inefficient, ineffective, and archaic.

In that case you might want to look at ansible: it does exactly what such a system should (logs in with SSH and runs some scripts) but does in a smart way (eg. you can configure certain boxes to be web servers and have it run a script on all web server boxes). It does have some weird config format but it does also allow you to run scripts.
We are in a global asset bubble, not specifically a tech bubble. People like to highlight tech valuations because the general public is familiar with the companies.

Click Bait Headline: "COMPANY WITH NO PROFIT WORTH $1.5 BILLION, THE END IS NIGH!"

The valuations are divorced from the future earnings of most of the companies, but so are real estate prices in many cities around the world. So sure, we're in a "tech bubble" but its all part of a shared economic fantasy so it probably doesn't matter.

> Knowing how to use a relational databases correctly requires no formal set theory.

Very true, I guess. But the other way around, someone who has used relational databases, will immediately understand formal set theory and find it absolutely trivial. Another example would be regular expressions. Anybody who has ever used them will immediately recognize what Kleene's closure is about and effortlessly deal with it. I think that this is generally the case. If you first solve problems with tools that embody a particular theorem, and if later on you read up on that theorem, you will find that theorem trivially simple. In other words, math and computer science are only hard, when you have never used them. Since formal education does things systematically in the wrong order, students tend to consider math and computer science to be hard.
