It makes facilities management easy and cheap, so they can demonstrate superlative performance. Even flimsy movable dividing walls are in the same category. Makes re-configuring offices simple and cheap.
The destruction of slow concentrated thought is difficult to measure and not in the facilities management budget, so doesn't trouble the accountants.

In many large companies of my experience the director level folk do have individual offices. That shows they understand the value for themselves. Why they are then unable to work out who else is a thought worker and arrange offices for them as well escapes me.

Facebook and twitter will soon become the primary medium for a government to communicate with its citizens. It's the new press, so governments have to make sure their citizens have access to that information, regardless of whether they want to use their real names or not. The freedom of the press cuts both ways, and forces a number of responsibilities on these companies, due to their peculiar and de-facto monopoly state, and the sheer amount of attention time they occupy. The press was not completely unregulated in any well-functioning democracy, and i don't see the reason why the new (increasingly old actually) media should not be.

> Fact: In today's age of agility, rapid development, minimum viable products, continuous deployment, and short iterations it is much more important that you can discuss things with your coworkers and stakeholders quickly and figure out if you are working on the right thing

Fact: that has absolutely no relation to offices. And "offices" doesn't have to mean singles either (they usually don't in my experience).

> Provide the team with good quality headphones

I can't wear headphones. I literally, physically, can't wear headphones for more than 10~15 minutes, it starts hurting like somebody's driving nails through my eardrums. Now what?

> shame people who have non-silent notifications on their devices

And people who have bodily functions, and people who put the volume too high on their headphones, and people who type too hard, and people with tics. Just shame people on a general basis really, that makes for great esprit de corps.

Yes, everybody must love what you love and you can't be wrong, because "no setup works for everyone" except for the one you want.
> they think it gives them 'free' energy and they are being 'green', while ignoring completely the carbon footprint of making that panel in the first place

It's a little OT, but do you have some real data to back this up? This argument came up a lot in discussions about light bulbs and fluorescent lamps, but in reality cost of fluorescent lamp is around 1% of its lifetime energy consumption. I highly doubt that solar panels cost more energy to produce than 10% of their lifetime output, even in such poor conditions as England.
This sounds like a training problem. Is it possible & cost effective to get him better training?

You do know "stupid person" and "idiot" are equally offensive, right? I mean the three are pretty much synonymous with each other.
I don't know about that. I've read plenty of articles on Ars about how incompetent the lawyers for the trolls are.
Seems to be different, nothing else mentions such limits.
I haven't had that exact structure yet, but what I have had tracks well. I've had fully open-plan, single cubicles, and 4-6 person super-cubes. The super-cubes definitely seemed like the best option. I had easy collaborative access to my immediate teammates, with a bit of visual and audio barrier between us and other teams.

Open-plan was workable. Some sound pollution from other teams, but easy access to my team was good.

Individual cubes make no sense to me at all. All the sound pollution of open-plan, with none of the easy access to teammates. I hate it.
You know what should interest you, is that YOUR country is astroturfing (and probably much more than NK).

This is great! We dove into React and Flux a few months ago and it took way too long to come to the realization that this flowchart puts together.

One of the big things I think a lot of React/Flux tutorials miss out on are the "Smart and Dumb" components. This was the missing "view controller" that I am used to with MVC and the flowchart illustrates it nicely.

I pretty much stay out of the whole Open Office debate since I seem to be pretty much unaffected. My powers of concentration are obscenely high so even without headphones I have to work to be interruptible.

I actually liked Open Office plans because there were more interruptions. When you have a family to get home to there is something wrong with realizing it's nearly 10pm and the last thing you remember before you started coding was eating lunch. The open office plans gave just enough background distraction to allow me to surface every once and a while.
> Provide the team with good quality headphones

Headphones are a cognitive and physical distraction to me. When I think, I only want to think about what I'm thinking about. I only like listening to music when I'm not trying to accomplish something.

Headphones are merely an inferior office, with its walls shrunk down to fit your head.
You are correct, but then there is even less sense for Steamboat Willie to be still copyrighted (besides the obvious use in opening credits of recent Disney features, which the cynical me thinks is some attempt to extend the copyright protection not just a homage to the humble beginnings).

> what are the most common reasons to still prefer Ethernet port?

Attempting to provide wireless coverage for a densely populated open office gets pretty expensive pretty quickly. It also can cause degraded signals for everyone in the office. The ethernet port just becomes more feasable way to get stable internet at your desk.
What trick? Of course they'll add USB type-C to MBP.

If you ask whether they'll keep regular USB or thunderbolt, perhaps but just for a few releases more. E.g. both could be gone by 2018.

That said, MPB will of course have > 1 USB C ports.
It really doesn't matter. Successful startup X could have began in a coffee shop, apartment, dorm room, open office...it was still going to be successful. People with the right drive are going to create and be productive despite their working environment, not because of it.

It's only later on in the process when the company can buy office space and do some hires, when people start to get picky about where they work. I've had some of my most productive days on a borrowed old laptop and a folding table in a breakroom.
What makes listening to anything other than entire albums (radio, streaming, etc) unpleasant for me is the volume settings.

Most people listen to classical way too quietly. Most classical music has a very wide dynamic range. Your volume should be adjusted so that the very quietest parts are loud enough to hear every subtlety and so that the loudest parts shake your bones.

A single trumpet playing at full volume is loud enough to cause hearing damage. An orchestra has several of them, along with 50+ other instruments.

Loud orchestras are loud enough that freaking cannons do not necessarily overpower them.

So next time you're listening to classical music (or jazz), crank it up, and discover how much more you enjoy it.

Unfortunately, you'll ruin streaming and radio, though. They're often compressed, ruining that huge dynamic range. Each piece will have a different level, so you'll constantly be playing with your volume knob to get it set correctly. Which is really hard if you've never heard the piece before -- is it supposed to be loud or quiet?

And if you're listening to the radio with the volume set correctly, the announcer will start screaming at you. I love the CBC's Julie Nesrallah's voice, but I can't listen to her program because they have her voice turned up way too loud. If they turned it down the program would be much more enjoyable, and people would enjoy the music more because they'd turn their radio up to hear her properly.
No, the people who run the website find it offensive, it's their house, so you deal with it or leave.

The real question is what happens with systems with pirated OEM certificates in motherboard firmware. IIRC this was the most reliable method of piracy for Windows 7.
that's why I never, ever, EVER have official Windows installed. you should get soemthing extra when paying, and that extra shouldn't be inconvenience. heck, I have put cracked windows even on laptops that had Win licence with them on purchase, just because of this (you changed HDD, doubled RAM or similar? forget it! this ain't the same machine, and you won't run this OS again! just have this one hour call and maybe...)

In my experience, the toughest thing to grasp about Flux was how to handle async server actions. It's something that a lot of tutorials (including, unfortunately, this graphic) handwaves, but it's one of the first things you need to nail down if you want to do anything exciting in an SPA.

The todos usually make it seem like you have to to have this flow of information:

ActionCreator -> ApiUtil -> ActionCreator -> Store

...but if you use the same action creator, you end up with a circular dependency. So you actually have to create a separate file of ServerActionCreators, that are only called with ApiUtils:

ViewActionCreator -> ApiUtil -> ServerActionCreator -> Store

This seems like a lot of boilerplate. At my job, we've simplified this a lot by using Reflux, which has async actions that run one Store callback when a call gets initiated, and another related one when it gets completed. But it's not ideal.

Personally, I'd rather see a bigger app than a TodoMVC implementation with a "correct" example of async server actions.

Is classical music distribution a problem that streaming can easily solve? In pop music, you have people singing in different national languages in perhaps hundreds of commercially viable genres. Classical music certainly has genres (opera, early music, modern), but it's a coherent tradition, so switching between subgenres is more like switching between classic rock and contemporary rock than between rap and country. Moreover, classical music is in wide supply, as many mid-sized American cities have a quality classical radio channel (say, on NPR), regular amateur performances, and even professional orchestras and other companies. Besides, good-quality classical recordings are cheap and widely available in a wide variety of formats.

EDIT: My point was that perhaps the benefits of a good streaming service are lower to classical consumers (than pop music, which focuses more on unique individual performances). If the costs are higher and the benefits lower, that could be a sufficient explanation.
"There's a lot of talk about gender and sexual preferences and race, but we're different in so many other ways, too"

Love this quote.

"I don't know where you happen to be based, but this 'you have to be nice' seems to be very popular in the US,"

I observed the same thing. I've lived in 4 different (Europeans) countries before moving to the US and I have never seen such a PC trend around "being nice", "don't offend people", "be sensitive" etc. As an anecdote, I remember trying to explain the whole "pronouns issue" with trans/cis-gender to my friends back home, they had no clue what the hell I was talking about.

As a non-US born, it's been (and still is) really hard to really understand and navigate all the implied PC rules. I'd like to understand why the US is such an exception when it comes to liberal views.

An idea would be that the US is also an exception among developed countries when it comes to the importance of religion. Societies are, to an extent, composed of groups opposed to each other, maybe the fact that so many people pay attention to religious beliefs and take religion so seriously pushes "others" even further on the other side of the spectrum. I don't know, I'm no phd :)
>Fact: Distractions are cultural not physical. Provide the team with good quality headphones, shame people who have non-silent notifications on their devices, create a policy where people can indicate when they're deep in thought on something complex and would prefer not to be distracted

Managers who deliberately create environments where headphones are mandatory should be brought up on charges.

Basic rule of thumb: If your headphones are loud enough to block out ambient conversation, they're damaging your ears. In 20 years, deafness is going to be associated with programmers in the same way we associate black lung with coal miners.

It makes a lot of sense now why Windows 10 is being given away, even for those running pirated Windows versions:

>> Who decides what is and is not appropriate?
>Github does. That's how that works.

I don't think "github" does it; it's lobbyists either within or outside of Github - the SJW's, what used to be called the PC Police - that push agendas like this forward. Same happened / is happening with Reddit, to some degree - again the slippery slope mentioned above.

Now, the problem isn't these policies forbidding certain behaviour or language; the problem is that they're measuring with different sticks. In Reddit's case, it was banning subreddits making fun of fat people, whilst keeping racist and corpse-fetish subreddits around. In Github's case it's banning one 'offensive' word, while "git" itself is offensive and they should really censor themselves first before demanding their users do it to their own work.

AFAIK there's no official list anywhere of "Words You Shouldn't Use" on github either - which makes the enforcement of this thing completely arbitrary.
There's currently a post that has '-19' votes (as of this writing) that appears at the bottom. Since there are only up votes, I assume this is a bug. That's really too bad because it looks like that chart item would be second from the top but because it's negative it's sunk to the bottom.

It would probably be a good idea to have an email displayed somewhere, a 'contact us' section and, ideally, a way to leave feedback easily (without logging in, etc.).

TopChart looks good! It took me a second to realize the chart wasn't a Y-Combinator site.
The thing is, "our" data is abused by all big companies at the very least, regardless of what they publicly tell us they're doing.

Like I said, artists could already bypass the MPAA-protected industry and get a much larger share of the profits and direct contact with the fans by setting up a site as I mentioned before.

Apropos of nothing much, sometimes, when I visit friends who are now married (to people from very similar genetic backgrounds) and have children, I look at them and their spouse and their children and how eerily similar they all look, and it creeps me out a little.

Not often, but sometimes. It creeps up on me. I generally do not say this out loud :)
Mediacatch here. We really do appreciate it. I'm surprised we made it to the list of 100 hosters since we're very(extremely) small compared to the others.

As to the issues:

- Our apache was 2.2.29, it is recommended for 2.2.31 due to the 1 CVE. The re-compile is running now. Edit: It's now done.

- We use a piece of software called cloudlinux, and it features the ability to switch PHP versions. We just moved this server a few months ago and it had PHP 5.2 as the default. Admittingly, this was an oversight and I've just switched it to PHP 5.3.29. This PHP version does have security backports for CentOS/RHEL 6.
This is the latest version that we can use due to our billing system. We use WHMCS, so we need to go to V6 instead of our current V5. This is a large undertaking since we need to re-theme a complex theme.

- Openssl/OpenSSH is now up to date according to the CentOS repo, which has backported patches for exploits mentioned. I'm actually not sure why this wasn't auto-updated since we had that enabled like our other servers. We don't have the experimental J-PAKE enabled, so the 2 warning vulnerabilities that your system cited are not relevant.

I've also run this your tool again on our site to confirm the openssl/openssh were fixed.

You didn't provide a contact on your blog post, would you be able to please downgrade/remove us?
