Understanding how to use white space (as well as other design concepts) is different than just using excessive white space because it is the thing of the day. There is a difference, I think, between using a design concept and choosing to use a design concept. There has to be a reason to use it. Design is all about the why not the how.
I am an artist. The aspects of programming you described, I feel, are what makes it an art. This is why I decided to start learning programming. Art isn't about technical skill. Yes technical skill helps to be able to communicate clearly your ideas and thoughts. But art is about sharing or displaying your thoughts, emotions, intentions. I mean, yea there is a very mechanical aspect to programming but software design is the art part of it. It involves decision making. Those decisions are not cut and dry and can be varied on style and express your character as a developer.
Art is just the use of a medium to communicate. In this regard, a lot of things can be considered art. Also, just because other people wouldn't follow this line of thinking doesn't mean it's not valid.
A lot of people put their opinion behind defining what art is. They usually try to define art subjectively and pass that definition off as objectivity.
Anyway, the part of your comment about using alpha state for 8+ hrs. Do you have more info on this?
Why not just set the oven to the desired temp? What's the rush? I'm sure if you are baking you shouldn't be in any kind of rush. Isn't it nicer to use the feature the device gives you instead of trying to hack it to override it's functions?
but a really good cabinet maker and a so-so cabinet maker are 2 different things. The difference is how much they enjoy it. Are you someone who assembles cabinets? Or are you a wood worker. One of them involves getting joy from wood (that's what she said btw).
maybe if you add a 'c' in front it will be better.
Clean code is what I think I like when I think of lean code.
Everything very organized and easy to read, not too verbose. No sloppy code tacked on here and there. Everything designed.
I think having design sense is useful even in engineering. Design is not just about how something looks. It is about how something works and is used. How the way something looks can be part of or effect how it works. Everything man touches can be considered from a design standpoint.
I may be thinking about too many other things and am off topic from lean coding. Also, I like typography and good looking code can look pretty. (is that a little perverted?)
I think I kind of agree with your position yet not quite. I think it's just a little harsh and doesn't leave room for the gray(grey?) area. I'm don't consider myself a software engineer or whatever term as I only recently really got into learning programming and software dev a year ago. But I do understand that there are types of people. I for one am the type to want to know how things work and don't feel comfortable using something that I don't understand. So for instance this drove me to take apart cars and do all work on my cars. I pretty much know everything about cars but am no engineer by any means. I've been using computer since childhood (I'm 29) and just fiddle with things. I played around with programming when I was younger like in jr high and high school but then got into 3d animation and have been on that adventure for a while. In college I was a comp sci major for like 2 years then switched to be an animation student. After working as an artist and spending so much time working on that I finally decided to try my hand at getting into programming again as it is something I really want to learn about. There is something interesting here though. Suddenly I am able to learn this shit way faster and easier than ever before previously. All the concepts of programming are just clicking. I had a hard time back in the day learning. So, I guess for me the gray area is timing. I somehow achieved the necessary mindset to be able to learn programming concepts and I don't know why. Maybe you have some input?
I dunno, that's a bit extreme. I still see benefit in copyright, but only in its responsible form which allows for an actually limited monopoly. With the ever expanding years thanks to Disney, it gives a legally sanctioned eternal monopoly. Definitely not the intention that copyright was originally thought up for. The original term was 14 years. As technology increased and communications sped up the time to market and time it takes to recoup costs is much faster. 14 years accounted for older infrastructure. The law should have kept decreasing the years. All the content created out there belongs eventually in the hands of the citizens in open domain. The sooner this can happen the more content can be created as creativity is an iterative process and requires the ideas of the previous generation. 14 years was the generation gap back then. Now due to the speed of the internet and information copulating at an increased rate the generation gap of ideas is very fast. So right now its fair to say 5 years I think. If I had more data about how sales and profits made from copyrighted products are made I would have a more accurate number of years to give.
Hmm I never thought about how laying your wrist on the desk could stress your wrists when using the mouse. I dunno what the shape of that mouse was like but I can say this, I work out a lot and my forearms are big enough that I can't really rest my wrists on the desk without forcing it.
I don't think he is trolling. It's not that Word is awesome and the foss options suck ballz. It's because people that didnt have the initiative to learn computer use on their own don't get taught how to teach themselves to use a computer. They are taught how to pull levers and work with a specific interface but never learn how the abstraction of computer interfaces work and what they mean.
So because libreoffice layout isnt exactly the same as word the user who only learns how to use word and not how to learn to use word or any program these people have trouble.
Now, I dunno if I'm just blowing shit out my ass on this but I really do think that the abstraction of computing is something that not everyone can get. I have been so entrenched in computing for long enough that it is hard to comprehend that the fundamental parts of learning to use a computer are not easy for many.
Then I suppose I should clarify what I think of what is currently thought of as 'left' as the current left wing attitude isn't at all liberal but more moderate. So you could suppose that current democratic party is kinda what republican party used to be and the current republican party is a pile of fuck tards. But that's just my opinion.
I would rather say that scientists are intelligent and don't lean left or right but take things on a case by case basis. Liberal != smarter. It just means you are on the other side of the argument from the idiots. If you are intelligent you wouldn't be wasting your time arguing against idiots.
+1 insightful if i didn't already comment earlier!
But yea, the two faces of America see the Israeli/Palestinian situation from a skewed and opposing internal view that makes everyone in the media sound like they are contradicting themselves all day (as if they don't do enough of that).
but you can blame the telephone company for giving terrorists a communication channel. But we already figured out safe harbor for phones. Internet services need to come next.
Except these days we can't even steal. The industry has creative monopoly forever! Copyright extension done fucked the system is what. It is the cause of the constant stream of shit from this media industry system.
The public needs to be educated why the pendulum has swung too far in favor of copyright holders, so that they pressure their legislators to change the law.
This is gravely important to getting change to happen. I hope google allowing copyright holders be as evil as possible directly to people, especially on a large site like youtube will bring the problem to the public's doorstep (which is usually when Americans actually take action)
so in fact it is due to a system where when people are blamed for some screw up they lose their jobs. This causes middle management to look after their asses first and part of their job becomes diverting responsibility instead of solving problems. It causes the entire company hierarchy to look for the next person to blame as losing their job is not an option. If this was off the table as a punishment maybe employee retention would be better.
I think there is a difference between firing someone for messing up and firing someone because they suck at the job.

question is, which one is the hipster!
what about populating management with people that cant code for shit but at least know what programmers need or can relate to them a little?

I'd say cut it to 5 years after they beg for 50 years.
What's wrong with having 2 dicks?

or a series of pipe dreams.

They don't just want their cake and to eat it too. They want YOUR cake as well.

yea but at this point, if Nixon ran today he would be labeled a socialist.

I still can't believe that fan shit is real. Every time I hear it, I just cant believe it.
