The sort of people who write critical modules are not the sort of people who have a great deal of time to maintain them. And knowing "something" about a module is not nearly enough to give an accurate estimate for doing work on it; you need to know it in detail, because the majority of the time spent on any given piece of work is dealing with little gotchas, not big-picture issues.

There are those who prefer each. I'm not one to judge and I tend to be a bit of a nomad. I see the reasons for knowing how to get around in each. I personally am not very good at vi, but known well enough that I can do what I need to do. Even nano I'm not so much a fan of except for simple sysadmin tasks. I prefer x-emacs personally when I'm doing larger scripts and coding. But that's just me...I know I'm a scarce breed for actually preferring emacs.

Sorry, I meant integrating concepts from other software, which is basically what Koreija was giving him shit for. But, you have a point you can do it all with shell scripts, but you know what, who the fuck cares? He did it with Python. I mean, Facebook is written in PHP, but do you think anybody cares? If anyone gave Zuckerberg shit for doing it in PHP, well we sure don't know their name. At the end of the day it's all about the value the software brings to its users, and frankly that only can only happen when people use the software. I don't have to cite a textbook to tell you that. At the end of the day: boo pic imgur.com/coolpic is shorter and more-likely-to-be-used than echo imgur.com/coolpic > ~/path/tokey cat ~/path/tokey | xclip Regardless of how the system is implemented. We should really be evaluating the usefulness of the system, rather than how it's implemented. The usefulness of this system is something I'm really curious about. It will be interesting to see how people decide to use this.

You know what really sucks, when my own dreams prevent me. In the dream I could be in a room with 2 naked hot chicks and my dream refuses to make it happen. I try so hard in the dream to make it happen and the girls stall, make excuses or worse somehow I don't let it happen. I can count on 1 hand how many successful sex dreams I have had. I remember 2, maybe 3.

Yep, I just hope people that potentially would end up using Vim didn't leave it untested. My goal in the long term is to understand what kind of a editor for programming would be optimal to me, and build a prototype (maybe Vim-like but stack-based scripting language, e.g. Factor).

> John Carmack who, completely independently, came up with a fast way of calculating shadow volumes in 2000, and learned in 2002 that someone else had solved the same problem he had, but had started the patent application in 1998.

That's normal. I've been using it for about 4-5 years and it still confuses the hell out of me sometimes. I need to keep cheat sheets near me all the time to remember all the crazy commands. Doesn't help when I switch back and forth between it, vi, and nano.

I agree with you about the first part. I also agree that you need a way to screen candidates, but the thing is, these questions are the same questions being asked during on-sites too. Maybe I just didn't interview with companies that interview differently, but I did interview a lot, and even the most 'innovative' google/fb/amazon companies are still asking you to code a palindrome-checker on the white board and asking data structures and algorithms puzzles during the on-site.

I've honestly never heard the attitude that c# properties are a *bad* thing before, but just to indulge you, I googled: Class should not have properties and Properties are code smell. No relevant results found. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing? I did find this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2903635/c-code-smells-what-are-the-most-common-and-how-to-fix-them But they are mostly talking about using partial classes for non-generated code (WTF? Why would someone do that???) or people implementing stuff that could have been done in LINQ, or classes that *don't* use properties when they should. Also in there are methods that are too long, overuse of reflection, or not using generics.

No, that method would be an awful first filter. But I didn't think we were talking about 'pre-screen' questions. I think we can all agree that it's not that hard to find out if a candidate is BS or not. Most companies just ask a few simple technical questions or ask them some technical questions about things on their resume.

Does GA (sorta) prove evolutionism or creationism? No doubt there is some sort/degree of "evolution". But let's not ignore the fact that evolution cannot happen without design -- the selection algorithm, which is *created* by something (programmers) superior to evolution environment itself. And also, "evolution" cannot go beyond boundary. In other words, it cannot evolve into something alien to the design, for example, the worm GA cannot evolve out a car. So all these exactly support creationism, sorry. OK. Call me heresy, but I am talking about the fact.

Do what I did: Just pick a random project, give yourself a deadline, open the documentation, and just do it. REBOL is such a very simple language (resembling FORTH in a lot of respects) that very quickly, creating and invoking words becomes as natural as writing. The syntax is so bare that you barely notice it. I didn't even start with a tutorial. Just one "Hello World" example and syntax for invocation of words is all I needed to get started. It has a very strong functional bent to it, but you might not even notice.

> On the plus side, I've never experienced a nightmare, not since I was a child. Any frightening situation is easy for me to step out of and just disbelieve entirely. This is the one thing I'd be sorry to miss out on. I quite enjoy the condition that I'm submitted to the mercy of my effed up subconscious, including the occasional nightmare when I truly believe I run for my life. Admittedly, I don't get much adrenaline outside that in my day-to-day life, maybe that's why I don't mind having bad dreams every once in a while. Waking up is still the best part, though!

>If you want highly "interactive" data in the sense that you want lots of calculated values that you're supposed to change from time to time, I suggest using a spreadsheet. Well, not only calculated. So for example say you have an order form, and you want people to not fat-finger parts numbers. Then depending on what parts are selected, the values of other dropdowns change. Then you have the totals calculated - perhaps dependant on a client number. That kind of thing. And using a spreadsheet means that you lose all the text capabilities - so for example you wouldn't expect an insurance company to send you a spreadsheet to fill out and sign, you'd download a form that has all the legal details on page 1, then a form to fill out, then other crap. It's pretty widely used (especially internally in many companies) because it saves them having a full blown online system for processing. >As for digital signatures, you can digitally sign any file. But with PDFs, you can have the versions in the same file, so for example if you have 3 signatures, you can revert back to the versions each person signed to see who changed what. It also provides other security features like disallowing various actions (adding text, or printing for example) >I still maintain that PDFs were developed for representing data that's meant to be printed Not really, it was meant to provide a self contained file format that was device independent - printers are just a subset of the target devices. That's why fonts are embedded, and many other elements are fully specified.

If I was working from Windows' cmd.exe I probably would have initially supported Window's clipboard instead of using AppKit ;) You are somewhat correct though. I could easily write a shell script that could replicate this, however I made this primarily for the educational value of creating it in Python. I usually develop for the web, so creating a command line utility was a new experience for me and I felt that this idea (which I actually got from Zach Holman) would be a good start.

The next version (VS11) is, sadly, missing a bunch of stuff, and really only fixes some of the bigger gripes people had with VS2010's existing support. It's still [missing important stuff](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2011/09/12/10209291.aspx) like variadic templates, initializer lists, delegating and inheriting constructors, deleted functions, range-based `for`, and `noexcept`.

I've read an article about the software which claims it to be fraud. The article is in German, but I've translated the most relevant paragraphs. >Iwansky [a physician at a sleeping laboratory in a german hospital] has evaluated the [professional EEG and eye-movement] measurements and compared them with the chart drawn by Sleep Cycle. "The program has correctly identified beginning of sleep and responded when the patient turned around," she says. The stages of sleep Sleep Cycle could not properly assign. "Instead of light sleep it shows it to be deep sleep," complained the doctor. Even the REM stages were not detected. […] >She thinks, many users reporting to wake up more easily thanks to the app might be a placebo effect – and a fortunate coincidence. "In the morning the light sleep stages accumulate," she explains. This increases the chances that the alarm kicks in in such a phase, even though it could not correctly identify sleep stages. >How the software generates the sleeping curves showed a test in which the whole night the iPhone lay on the bookshelf rather than in bed. Again, there was a noticeable peak in the middle of the night. Maybe a shock in the building, triggered by a passing truck. Apparently, the program simply analyzes all peaks and interprets the most violent ones, even if they are only minimally, as shift to light sleep or REM sleep.

I think you're giving GAs a bit too much and too little credit at the same time. First off, the purpose of Evolutionary/Genetic algorithms is not to replicate the exact processes that exist in nature regarding genetics and evolution. Their purpose is to find an optimal solution to a problem, just like any optimization technique. They just happen to be inspired by the biological processes they are named after, and interpret them as the mechanics behind the algorithm. However, I will say that if anything, watching GAs in work, you can get an idea of just how evolution can plausibly work, beyond being a completely "random" force.

Thank you! I had done other genetic algorithm programs before in Java but I was still somewhat new to JavaScript and the box2d physics engine. After about 3 - 4 weeks, working 2 - 4 hours at night after work, it was 90% what you see. Then I spent a month or two adding creatures, settings and messing with other stuff at a few hours a week. I had all these other ideas but then I got super busy with work and my motivation disappeared. But, now that I posted this I'm thinking of getting back to it. It's so great to have anyone look at it :)

This is a extremely good question: in fact, one of the tough parts to implement! What happens is that the conflict "gets solved": if it is a directory, the "ancestor" is taken (if you move foo to bar in one branch and foo to moo in another, the "automatic result" will be "foo"), in case of a file, the user will be promted to solve the intermediate conflict too (here git sucks a little bit when that happens... because it will write the "ancestor" with conflicts inside, tough to handle it since it is read as text by tools, not conflicts).

> But that's the problem. You can't treat software development that way. People have tried to "industrialize" software using "taylorisms" for the past 20 years and have failed miserably. Have they really? Do you have any example of someone actually trying to do this and failing? I've seen plenty of places where this has actually worked. It is incredibly boring work, the kind of stuff that most developers hate doing, but it is the way things work in countless IT shops working on line-of-business applications.

You're right to some extent. What's true here is that merge recursive is as good as 3-way, only that it is able to handle more cases safely. Just that. When there are more than 1 ancestor, recursive handles it correctly, 3-way will fail sometimes. Is it a math proof? Needless to say it isn't. A different story is comparing "recursive" with "codeville": a completely different approach. The "git's approach" is normally better, but it will, as you point, depend on the case.

Hmm very interesting. As mentioned in a previous comment I'm doing this mostly for the educational value in creating it, so both of these ideas seem like a fun way to go a step further with this project. After just reading those two ideas, the first one definitely seems like it'd be the simplest. I think I need to implement some type of grouping system first though, so there would be no naming conflicts between the local .boom file and any remote ones (Maybe have something like boo remote/hello_world). I'll definitely look into this though.

Yet time and time again we see evidence of evolution without design; driven by genetic changes and filtered by one criteria - are the genes passed on. The evidence is in the DNA sequence, it's in archeological remnants, and it's in the very makeup of different organisms. The logic that X cannot be done unless under the direction of something "superior to" X is quite simply invalid. If valid, and if you believe that that leads to some Creator, then why doesn't apply to the maker of that Creator?

Ah yes. As I mentioned earlier, this is one of my first ventures into command line utility development, so designing arguments is pretty new to me. Wouldn't I want to make the flags -r and -m though? That way it would be less confusing, since in other utilities (tar for example), having a single dash and multiple characters means the same as -r -m. **Edit:** [Implemented!](https://github.com/stevenleeg/boo/commit/24872789ceec980343ceae73e3a29b9aeefb0a63)

My worst experiences with Scrum have been when companies think Agile training qualifies someone to run a project. They go off in a corner and write Stories in a vacuum, taking chunks of work that would be best done all at once by one person and breaking it into bits and pieces, spread over multiple sprints and assigned to different people. Stories should be written, or at least organized and rewritten, by someone with some systems analysis skills. I guess my beef with Scrum is that it it sold as a way to make project management a simpleminded cookie-cutter activity if you just follow the process. Kind of like when people use graphical planning tools and somehow think that drawing a box that says "Do Payroll" will magically produce software. There's more to being a project manager than being able to say, "What did you accomplish yesterday? What are you going to accomplish today? Any blockers?"

Just in case you're actually interested in an answer: Yes, the "selection algorithm" is a necessary component to evolution. In nature, this comes from the environment. Whatever random processes produced the environment that the organism finds itself in, it will have to successfully reproduce under that "selection algorithm". So no, there no requirement for creation.

>Though, having only async will be interesting. Hmm. Interesting; I've not been following this. Microsoft is eliminating blocking calls from their new APIs? That would be something that I'd find very interesting. Is this specifically "async" (which AFAICT in Microsoft-land is used as shorthand for "you register a callback and we call you and we own the main event loop") or non-blocking in the sense that you get some sort of handle that can trigger a generic notification demultiplexer (WaitNextEvent(), select(), etc)?

I'm not entirely sure. I think it's the former. The examples they had in C# were registering callbacks, but who knows what is going under the hood with the JIT. They expressed their main concern was "instant feel" of UI on touch apps since the latency of moving a mouse is gone. C#5 has some new `async` keywords or something. Like I said, I'm sure it's just compiler magic for regular callbacks. private async void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { string url = "http://reddit.com"; string content = await new WebClient().DownloadStringTaskAsync(url); this.textBox1.Text = string.Format("Page {0} supports XHTML 1.0: {1}", url, content.Contains("XHTML 1.0")); } [This](http://blog.functionalfun.net/2011/09/whats-new-in-c-50-and-vbnet.html) has a video with Anders giving a speech on it. I haven't really had the time to read up on it.

Adding up the usage for all resolutions 1280x1024 and below (using the CSV data download link below the graph) comes to a little over 55%.

Really meant to get back to you, sorry about the delay. But yes, you can easly break it into smaller groups and run them in parallel. Have a look at this: [http://pastebin.com/jRgKMxPe](http://pastebin.com/jRgKMxPe). The computation function is lifted from [here](http://thesamovar.wordpress.com/2009/03/22/fast-fractals-with-python-and-numpy/) and altered only slightly. The script starts N-1 computation processes and a single stitching process (to reassemble the results). Depending on your machine and the size of the rendering you will want to play around with the threads and chunks variables. On a great big AMD machine with 2 quad core Opterons running at 2100 MHz it runs in 117 seconds with a single worker (threads=2) or 20 seconds with seven workers (threads=8) for a 7000x4500 image. Note, the colour palette is not awesome. Sorry about that.

I think it was a joke, but totems in Inception let you tell when you’re in *someone else’s* dream, where the totem might not act the same way.

Absolutely not. For my own use cases, the GPL would be acceptable (if distasteful - I prefer to use far more liberal licenses for my code), as my personal projects are independent, not associated with a business, or are otherwise not-for-profit projects, but for which I have no interest in opening the source. Under the GPL, I can choose on a case-by-case basis whether I want to release the source. Under the AGPL, I don't have that freedom to choose. Besides that, to propose this framework to the company I work for, the AGPL is unacceptable and getting approval to purchase a license (we make *a lot* more than $1m) for a framework that no one has heard of is a difficult proposition at best. (Management is, sadly, not very forward-looking.) So that's the end of that. If it were anything but the AGPL, I might jump on it.

Pardon me, I skim-read your comment. I thought we were talking about 1024x768 only. Considering 1280x1024 is the default resolution for 17" and 19" LCD's all through the corporate world, I'm actually surprised that it's ONLY 55%. But then, I suppose that most people that have a desk job are also going to have a computer at home with a bigger screen.

No, the burden of proof is on the person who made the claim being challenged. If he can't provide any proof, then his claim is unsupported and meaningless.

> Why does then fclose (or close() of Java) throw at all? Because close() flushes whatever buffers might be unflushed, and if the disk is full or the network has dropped or whatever you wouldn't know about it otherwise. Even for input files EBADF can tell you that you have a logic error causing you to close a descriptor twice.

The scientific method was not botched, it was never employed at all. Furthermore, because the scientific method was never employed, there is zero evidence for or against his research working—except for his own claims.
