I've seen the same documentary. It wasn't long after I'd learned about episodic waves. However, applying the name "Rogue" to these waves as if rogues were things that appeared unexpectedly because of combined currents in the sea is even more blasphemous than discovering science that's already been invented.
*sighs* yeah man. i was joking about how the kernel is called "mainline" and thus features get "mainlined." Mainlining is a drug term appropriated for the kernel. Arguments claiming that mainline is a plumbing or railway term are false: that term is "main line," and it's not a term that needs definition, it means what it says, the main (most used) line. Nothing to do with the word "mainline." And yet the kernel is called mainline.
Additionally using the TLA "DRM" in your device driver is the kind of horrible idea someone could only come up with while having some of that sweet sweet black juice running through their veins.
Furthermore calling it V3D is extremely misleading, as it's not a 3d driver, nor is it virtual reality.
So all in all it seemed like a good opportunity to call out all of these idiocies appearing at once. But thanks to you the joke is ruined. Congratulations.
Since you're doing tests, your tests should have outputs, so use a makefile. This will allow you to test only things that have changed, since makefiles have built-in timestamp checking. For instance, let's say you have a series of ".test" files, and ".output" files, and a command "runtest" that runs your test, you can use a makefile like this:

So much technology, so little science. So much politics, so little engineering. That's slashdot for you - it's the cultural aspects of a very logic-ridden community. A little piece about a programmer, even a fool corporate whore programmer who stands for ridiculous anti-programming principles, is appreciated by this little one, at least.
He's a model for embellishing beneficial corporate stereotypes. It's also best not to start programming until you enter college, and then only as necessary for your appropriate classes. Wouldn't want to clutter up your brain with worthless languages now would Inc?
Working at home takes energy you could be giving to the Corp. If you insist on working on your off-time, at least work on a side-project for your own job like a person who truly appreciates his job. No more of this dilly dallying making social networks, video games, and suspicious network tunnels at home; optimize Billy Joel's three-year-old equipment maintenance prediction system, written in ASP! What, you don't like ASP? Fuck, you must be one of those kids who learned to program when he was 3 and always thought he was better than Inc's trained monkeys, just because he knew how a for loop works! The arrogance, the boastfullness, the lack of respect for proper tried and true authority is simply outstanding!
Mostly I agree but I would say that the professional way (especially in school) is not always the right way. Sometimes hacks ARE the right way... so long as you clean them up, later. I became a programmer first, then went to school for it, then learned that they were teaching me to be stupid, and left. Professional all the way, but a bit hackish too.
The original article is so annoying. Nasty nationalized stereotypes trying to make people think you have to either be sloppy or conformist. My designs are beautiful, elegant creations. They rarely follow any kind of "organizational development process" (except that I do MAKE a plan, though it only loosely gets followed: that's the idea) or "coding standards" (except in security, readability, and maintenance). I'm definitely not a hacker, but I'm not some half-dead brainwashed programming drone, either. Thank God.
Your writeup provides nice simple dichotomy with direct correlations and some minor humor, no hacking or cowboy shooting needed. And you don't seem terribly at risk for being accused of conforming to organizational development processes and coding standards, either. Cheers to you, particularly for the typos!
(ftr, it's true that I'm unemployable by most of the nasty corporations, being self-educated and kicked out of school for my non-cowboy, non-indian points of view. I don't really mind, as I still get paid enough by my lovely corporation to live by. At least til the project's done...)
> You think the weapons that civilians have on hand can take on the best-funded military the world has ever seen?
Yes. Isn't it obvious?
> I don't think you've thought about this very seriously.
I think you're a coward.
> How many civilians have access to Abrams tanks and Apache helicopters?
I'm not sure what the answer to that is, although I guarantee you it's more than you're thinking. But here are some better questions: How many Abrams tanks and Apache helicopters will fire at US soil? How many will fire at the other tanks and helicopters?
> "well, I WANT to do X, but since the citizens have so many guns, maybe that wouldn't be a good idea."
Hmmm. I don't see CCTV on MY streets. I get to smoke all I want and never have any trouble. In front of the police station, they sniff the air and then smile and wave. And yes, they're MY streets. You want to come take 'em? I don't care who you are, there's no way to do it. You gonna point a tank at every civilian? Sorry, the military's just not that well funded. the USA is BIG, dude.
> It is a right to defend yourself from the government, not an establishment of the power to overthrow the government.
Nobody wants to overthrow the government. That'd be stupid - next thing you know, all the rich people lose all their money. Yeah, that's gonna happen. But we can defend ourselves, in a billion different ways, with guns made of paper and ink and money, mostly. So yeah, we may very well STILL BE THE FREEST NATION IN THE WORLD. go us. f* you.
1. I think you have to be logged in. 2. Go to write a comment. 3. Click "Customize Posting Preferences". 4. Scroll to the last page of settings and there's a "Comment Post Mode." Mine is set to "Code" for terminal text.
The real cause: I'm a coder and this is the only font I read all day every day day in day out sun up sun down, so I think that the impact on my personality should be represented by my font as well as my grammar/sentence structure/etc.. kinda like wearing professional vs relaxed clothes I guess.
Every company (news outlets just get the attention) has to deal with a delicate set of balancing acts like this. Running a business is equivalent to the "balance ten stacks of 30 dishes on various parts of your anatomy" trick.
Unfortunately for most managers the first priority has to be to keep the business running. That is what fuels everything else, and it's really a bad way of thinking about your motivations. A better way is, "I need to keep my employees and customers happy and well-fed." But that's not how they think, "What is the bottom line?" is how they think.
It wouldn't be such a problem if it wasn't for the agreeable nature of most American decision making teams. CEO says, "here's my idea, what do you guys think?" and the "guys" don't think, they just say "oooh that's your best idea yet! I could never have thought of anything that good or better" which is probably true... but they could be saying "er, boss, that's a great product idea, but won't it create 50 billion tonnes of untreatable radioactive waste and alienate our customer base ten years from now?" Such decisions are hard to make and even harder by committee.
And even harder to change once a precedence is set. If a company decides to never compromise their bottom line for customer or employee, they will fail and very quickly too. The same is far more true of news agencies which are so publicly scrutinized.
Furthermore, Fox is for entertainment, BBC is for fear. Which do you think I prefer to watch? Haha, sorry, but I'd rather be having fun watching some bouncy broad jog on Fox news and ignorant of the fear mongering that the world corporations want me to watch. I'll get my fear mongering by text where it isn't surrounded by creepy music and disturbing visuals. Desensitization or ignorance are the only possible sane response to the world we live in these days.

lol @ you. Nothing I said didn't make sense. But you're right, it does open your mind.
I do the same thing, and it's a lot less effort than getting up to hit mute every time an annoying commercial comes on.
Why the commercials cost more: no remote control w/ mute button.
