Coding is sometimes the only way for the manager to understand the problem being faced. Also it is sometimes a good way for the manager to communicate with the team. We had a project manager who decided to implement a small feature that everyone else said couldn't be done in a short timeframe. Firstly, he proved it could be done, secondly through this experience, he then understood enough of the system to not keep asking stupid questions and continue sounding like a retard in meetings. Turned out he was a shit coder, but who cares, we just got someone to re-do it who knew what he was doing once the basic solution had been prototyped. The only person annoyed at him was the CTO, but he was just a relic of the era that systems were so simple, you could write them correctly the first time.
I would say that a project manager should not be making personal contributions. If he is a craftsman who loves his code, then that counts. But mostly the worst thing for objectivity is not code but contributing concepts, designs, theories and of course personal preferences and experiences.
I just want to point out that Person B already had a Nobel Peace prize by that point. However, it is worth noting that Obama seemed to practice what neither Bush nor the IRA were willing to interrupt their crusades to do, make sure the right person is killed.
I think the issue with Gerry Adams is that he is focused wholly on Irish unification (which in of its own is a valid perspective) but is willing to do sacrifice innocent people for this. To shake his hand after loosing two sons is just to legitimize this viewpoint. As far as collateral damage is concerned, you are not the quarreling party, not part of the reconciliation process, concession is not required and forgiveness is unhelpful.
Well, you have to admit, the UK does have somewhat of a problem with terrorism, angry Irish who blew stuff up pretty steadily since the invention of gunpowder but have stopped, leaving a gap that has been more than filled by the UK's angry Muslim community. Her Majesty's government has never been afraid of pissing people off which is normally great, but does make nuclear power more complex.
Also, the Sonic games over the last 5 years have been giant turds of games on their own. I played that one simply titled "Sonic the Hedgehog" and it seemed half finished, the graphics seemed PS1 era, the controls sucked and the level design was awful, short stretches of boring platforming separated by half-arsed cutscenes. Also, random bugs where you would die for no reason, like using circle to grab a string of rings but sometimes you would fling off into space instead. You don't have to be a hurt Sonic fan to hate them, I first played Sonic briefly in '03 and I still hate the new ones.
At UNSW (Sydney) we had Haskell in our weeder course, since it would weed out students with prior programming experience but without willingness to learn and adapt as well as it would weed out students without. This is because it is just so different from procedural programming that only a sound understanding of the underlying logic could save you. Always amazing how many students who program during high-school don't have much talent to be top tier, though usually the spend first year feeling arrogant until they realize that the class has caught up 8 months in..
Then they would quickly start off next semester with "write a MIPS emulator in C!" just to re-iterate that the math department was across the quad and that computers are scary and can only be tamed by scarier hackers.
By third semester, programming courses are finished, so to celebrate they write Java as assumed knowledge for the core courses, even though you don't touch it in classwork until then. It sounds sadistic, but it worked great, prepared people for the chaotic, unfair mess that is work. Figure things out as you go along, make good guesses and be right, even if you have no way of knowing.
While money is artificially scarce, CAT scan machines, operating theaters, qualified doctors, nurses, respirators, etc. are naturally scarce and all that making more money will do is push up the cost. However, if one was to make more of these machines and train more specialists the price would go down. Money is scarce because it needs to be negotiable against actual scarce things.
Anyway, "un-American", what are you talking about? America is famous for being the only first-world developed country to not have made a serious attempt at creating a working socialized health system.
Is "death panel" a paranoid, emotional way of saying "triage"?
If resources are limited then it is a great idea to save the most people possible in an organised way. Otherwise you will be treating everything that comes, nomatter how futile at the beginning of the month then not treating anything by the end of the month when the money has run out and who knows who will die early from easily treatable conditions when all the money has been spent on saving a month or two of life for other patients.
Americans are quite happy to buy every foreign company and push into every foreign market they can, but the minute their companies start buying something like foreign labor they cry foul. Oh well, it would be a lovely day when American companies are forced to staff their entire international supply chain with unionized American workers and see how they compete.
I always wonder what more he would have gone on to if he hadn't been branded a pervert
As a mathematician over 30? Probably he could have done some teaching, hung out at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton for a while, get tenure somewhere, smoke a pipe and so forth.
Zhu Rongji, the previous premier is a great example of an engineering brain put to good use. One time he dismantled a toilet during a state function because he wanted to see how a half-flush mechanism worked to save water in inland provinces. Wen Jiabao is another good example of a guy who sees the world in terms of problems, resources and solutions. Unfortunately not everyone is like that, but some are and the Chinese people certainly love those who are able to use political power as a platform to fix problems.
Greetings from China. Engineering here sucks pretty bad still. Pay is pretty good compared to medicine and law but it seems that in the private sector, one needs to get used to being "managed" by investors who were lucky enough to get rich in the property bubble and suddenly think they have a great insight into everything. It's all about humoring morons, even more so than in the west, at least western MBA goons often know how to sell a product properly. Another thing is you can either take the leadership position and all of the decisions and responsibility or stay in the tranches with none. It is all top down, no collaboration or consensus, either way it sucks pretty hard.
Why not a funny fake name for the parent from Amsterdam? I just made up "Yohan van der Donk" and there seems to be at least one guy on the internet who's name really is that, plus it is funny.
Plus, what if Gertrud and Wilhelm's daughter is really hot, wouldn't it be lovely to have her prancing through the wold wearing nothing but a red ribbon in her long blond braids, with her parent's encouragement no less. FKK just needs stringent admission criteria, that's all.
As I understand it, it usually is not a chemical explosion, it is a build up of steam and other gasses within the reactor vessel that suddenly ruptures.
Here's my take, if a nuclear reactor explodes, a rare but possible occurrence, it will contaminate a hundred square kilometers or so so it cannot be inhabited for a century or there abouts. If you want a hydro system with the same power output, you generally flood a valley and not only prevent it from being inhabited while the dam stands, but also ruin it for plants and animals too, unlike Chernobyl which is returning to natural forest flora and fauna. Nuclear probably won't explode and if it does, it still isn't all that bad compared to hydro.
Do you apply that to women who wear skimpy outfits in dark alleys too?
We all know that women in skimpy outfits should stay in open, well lit areas where the the male and lesbian population can enjoy looking at them. That's how those stories got started.
A picture of a man's junk coming from a guy called "Rep. Anthony Wiener", going to some random student. It sounds like this is in reverse, this is a targeted prank by one of the girl's acquaintances. I mean, the man's name is "Wiener" and there's a picture of a man's gentleman's sausage coming from him, that is too perfect, it sounds like this girl probably rebuffed the advances of the wrong nerd.
Gnome2 did that too, partially as a misguided effort for elegance by wholesale removal of functionality, but mostly because it had not been ported/implemented. Gnome 3 will be useable in a year or so. When software is actually used, you can tell what is important.
I would agree with that. But I would like to qualify it by saying firstly, not every manager is good or productive. Most tend to just be mediocre narcissists who want an elevated position. Secondly, not every endeavor needs a great manager, many can get by with someone just to keep notes and makes sure that everyone knows what is happening, rather than requiring an outstanding visionary. I've always wished I was a better manager, but in general, it just means I need to hire more experienced guys who I can work out a game plan with and just do it, rather than transforming an unruly mob into an army. But because I am so hands off and because I spent about 50% of my time programming, good guys are willing to work with me without getting their egos stepped on and are actually willing to listen to what I have to say, so that works out fine.
Well, I know with what I do in computer game programming, I wouldn't hire an apprentice. There is simply very little work for those who are not bringing their own expertise, since doing takes seconds but figuring out what to do takes hours, people are there to figure out what to do, not to be shown what to do. Resignations and redundancies are so close that training someone for more than a few weeks makes very little sense from an economic perspective. Guys who are good, especially really creative programmers tend to be impossible to work with until they are in their mid 20s, if someone doesn't believe they are God at 19, they've probably not got the meager talent required to impress themselves and aren't going to be much good anyway. Best that someone goes to university where they get plenty of challenges, people to share with, qualified teachers and plenty of time to practice their trade rather than being stuck doing the boring work, probably badly in a team that doesn't need them.
Outside America, his formal title would be His Excellency Mr Barrack Obama, President of the United States of America, shortening it to Mr Obama is quite common and standard given he makes no claim to royalty, is not a woman, did not hold a medical or doctoral degree and did not serve in the arm forces at a rank O-6 or above.
Americans however have the right to disrespect any political office they feel like, it's surely more productive to discuss the political structure and office than to simply spread slanderous rumors about Mr Obama's birthplace and religious beliefs.
Why would they not use the Cell? The Cell was crazy, but now it is there, it's been designed, it works and people know how to use it. It can be updated, die shrunk and overclocked with comparatively little investment. If it made an ounce of sense in 2006, it makes perfect sense now.
Die shrunken Cell CPU in the worst case, Cell with some extra SPU cores and the last 5 years of optimizations for the PPU in the best.
4 GB of RAM (it's cheap)
Blueray drive from current PS3 model.
GeForce GTX 580 or whatever high range graphics chip they can get a generous volume discount on.
The extra ram can help make use of the extra storage room on BD. They get to launch with an exotic system that people know roughly how to program for. They would be idiots if they are not thinking like this already, which just so happens to be a lot cheaper than developing Cell and Blueray from scratch like they did last time.
But, not everyone can be brilliant. Isn't one of the purposes of education to teach people, even so-so ones, a job ?
By current industry demands. No, probably not.
It seems that we universities are outputting graduates at more than a sufficient rate to fulfill what is needed to fill white collar jobs. If universities were to up their quality and teach people how to do their job better, that would be great, but we have no great need for more so-so university graduates.
Bad summery. This just provides a high-level interface for exactly this kind of operation that iptables provides. Problem was, while iptables was dynamic, the high-tools that controlled it were not and tended to just dumbly write to a file then flush iptables current state and reload from that file, wasting iptables abilities. So this is just a new daemon to expose all of iptables functionality to configuration tools and uses an unmodified version of iptables to do all of the heavy lifting. One suspects the author of the summary did not know what iptables was, and assumed it referred to the configuration files that iptables uses.
