Depressed? Get over it. Stop sitting around inside in a dark room all day. Go hiking! Skiing! Swimming! Skydiving! Work out!
That might work for a lot of people who just think they're depressed because it's the new thing on TV. If somebody truly is clinically depressed, they *can't* leave that dark room. It's not for lack of wanting - but the depression just prevents them from doing anything.
I'd side with you, except what else to use? Java/C# pay a small but significant performance cost, and others like Erlang would prune down the talent pool to basically empty. Pure C might be a solution, but it brings its own problems to the table...
(I work on games, so that small performance cost actually *does* matter)
Nope. 5 years of C++ experience, knowledge of 3D math, and the ability to pass a (fairly simple) test. Salary depends upon what you negotiate - but judging from mine, we're paying about average. (Or I'm a bad negotiator;)
When was the last time that every news agency in the world focused on the voting in Germany, France, or UK? The US is under a spotlight and a microscope in everything it does.
Well, pretty much all of Europe follows European voting - and U.S. voting. Sorry you guys don't care about the rest of the world, but I can't quite see how that justifies vote fraud)
The point is, these European countries manage just fine to vote on paper. Elections for the European parliament are done on paper, too. And to top it off, votes are counted extremely rapidly - the first precincts report within 30 minutes or so, pretty accurate numbers within two hours, and usually you have the results within a day at most.
Explain to me again why we should use electronic voting if the manual alternative works better *and* is more tamper proof?
Wouldn't that be "You watch....[Buffering].... it whi....[Buffering]... it is down [Server unreachable]"?
For all the technical awesomeness, the Internet is *still* fairly fragile in the face of large streaming downloads. (And if you happen to use Adelphia, go slit your wrists now.)
work in State Government- and we can't even fill the positions we have because the beancounters won't let us pay industry standard wages. When I worked in private industry, the story was the same- except it was the shareholders.
Weird. Neither government nor private industry pay industry standard wages - what exactly makes them standard wages, then, except wishful thinking?
It's called a 'watchdog'. Really old systems (i.e. the stuff I worked on;) just used hardware for this - a dead man's switch you had to regularly reset from your CPU. If you fail to do that, reboot. (And reboot back then was running 37 instructions to get into a defined state - none of that fancy hard disk stuff)
if mr. bush causes a civil, he might be the best president we've had in a long time. there's too much intrenched power. it's our right and obligation to overthrow a curpt goverment.
Yes. And while we're at it, let's revolt against the opressive spelling rules!
I am aware that this is one way of dealing with the situation. I've done it myself, and I still don't like it. Violence, in the long run, creates more violence.
Intervention by parents/school works too. It's just that they're unwilling to do it, because it would require actually getting involved.
You pay for the room after your stay. That means you have already incurred a debt at the time of payment. I've yet to see a hotel that requires payment in full up front. (It's even OK to secure the room with a CC and pay in cash. The point is that the debt exists before you pay)
If you actually bothered to read Brooks, you would discover that it's not quite as simple as that sound bite.
Adding new people takes ramp up time and increases communication cost. Ramp up time is a one-time expense, so if you do it early enough you can recover the cost. Communication cost produces indeed diminishing returns the more people you add - unless you change the way you communicate. I.e. break into smaller teams, don't have everybody talk to everybody else.
I very much doubt that story. There's a reason cash is called 'legal tender'. It's the government backed way of exchanging value ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_tender ), and in most civilized places you cannot exclude actual cash from the payment options.
I might be wrong, of course - do you have links to back up the story?

Dude. He *sucked* at Java!
*Distilled* water is a perfect insulator. Wake me the next time it rains distilled water in your neighborhood.
It's clearly 1.21 Gigawatts. Your math must be off ;)

Well, except you like the square brackets.

Oh, what a load of horseshit.
H1B's might be a threat to employment. And that's debatable - I'd love to hire quality engineers and can't find any. (With or without H1B)
But to innovate, you don't need employment. Form your own company. That's something no H1B can do - you've got an edge right there.

Oh wait. That's my ATM PIN.

Wait - are we talking about the U.S or Iran now?
Do you *honestly* believe that the only possible answer to violence is violence?
Keep reloading - it's only handed out to WWDC attendees. (And I assume shipped to ADC select members )
We peons will get it a bit later...
Hm. He drives an SUV, you say? Any links to prove that? Or data on his heating bill? Or his investment portfolio?
"Higher"/"Lower" is common lingo for "complex"/"less complex". And as far as complexity goes, we're fairly high up. It doesn't imply a value judgment.
I wish the LISP community would finally stop whining and realize they're doing nothing we old farts haven't done in Turing machines!
