It's not comparable at all, though it could be after a few man years of work. Crashes on quit. In C mode, hitting return doesn't indent. No preferences. No toolbars or widget menus. It does attempt to color keywords but this doesn't really

Ah great, thanks. Spent the last hour trying to get it to compile.

My understanding is that everyone knew Manning was gay. I doubt that has much to do with the case though. Their primary evidence is that someone claiming to be Manning confessed to some other dude via internet chat. It seems to me that anyt

What things exactly? Killing people? That is widely supported through ongoing wars, trade embargoes, abortion, and the death penalty. Rape? What we call rape in many states in the USA, an 18 yr old having consensual sex with a 16 yr old, is

Violent crime rates in the US are really high in rural areas right now due to drugs and gang activity.

There are people in prison with a life sentence in the US because they were carrying some marijuana and it's their third strike. What european countries also do this? There are people in prison in the US because they were 18 and they had se

Those are excellent points. The number of years of one's life spent in prison on average for the population vs number of years spent in college on average for the population might be one other way to look at it and it would come out looking

The Constitution prohibits slavery except as a punishment for crime . The punishment for each crime is set by a judge during sentencing after a guilty conviction and it is very specific. Sentencing a prisoner to punishment in the form of p

Just to make sure I am not overlooking something, the editor comes only as source code in a project that has multiple dependencies that are neither included in the available downloads nor listed in the documentation. A binary seems to not b

Hello Raganwald, I am confused by your responding. On your blog you identify the article as being written by a guest blogger named Nickieben Bourbaki. But now you are here speaking, saying "accusing me", as if you authored the article and n

As long as we are calling BS (the article refers to this term), I call BS on the article's claim that "Making Software", released only two months ago in October 2010, and with very few reviews, is one of three books essential to read along

Most rape convictions are for consensual statutory rape. Most kidnapping convictions are non-custodial parent abductions. Neither of these are violent crimes that threaten society.

The justice system is about the raw exercise of power and creating profits for Corrections Corporation of America and the like. It is supported by the population which enjoys watching people get hurt playing football or smashed up driving f

It's interesting that some inmates have thousands of dollars in cash on their persons.

Wow, the "except as punishment for a crime" was used to reimplement slavery throughout the south from 1866 to 1941, with widespread arrests of black people on bogus charges, and then selling them to Corporations to be worked to death and be

Even when guilty, there are many punishments which are unconscionable and amoral to impose for the crimes. For example, stoning a woman to death because she talked to a man who is not a relative. Another is third strike life in prison for s

I agree with your point. The "as" in the term "as a punishment" indicates that it is given explicitly as a punishment, and in lieu of a prison term. Rather than be put in prison, the judge can order you to go work in some capacity without p

I agree with that book, however I see that the underlying dynamic behind it is profit mongering by the for-profit prison and for-profit bail bonding industries, both of which spend huge parts of their profits on political lobbying that incr

Yes. Also, Yugoslavia had McDonald's franchises since 1988 and was subsequently attacked by the United States and several other countries, acting under UN pretenses. A more interesting point on war and business would be that no country whic

Why do people like Steam anyway? I went to try it out and it tried to install a bunch of spyware crap on my computer and get me to agree to a 50 page legal document full of terms only a madman would agree to.

I am surprised to see that the designs really are "kick ass". I think you should experiment with charging $5 EXTRA to have the design featured rather than charging $5 less. Free advertising you know.

I do agree with you that canceling soda programs means doom is assured and it's time to bail, as with a dead mine canary. However, soda, coffee and toilet paper and soap in the bathroom are very small things. Listing them in an ad as one of

From what you describe yes. I am able to hire talent I need, but I do offer competitive pay and benefits in line with what other places that are able to hire are doing. It's standard for serious firms to cover interview expenses for example

Speaking for myself I know what NYC is like and it's a basically a shithole filled with narcissists, psychopaths and useless welfare recipients. There are also some rich artist media types, but it's not like developers get invited to their

This is correct and both have both a small number of developers, pay very well, and have a really hard time at recruitment. Joel has blogged quite a bit on what a hard sell NYC is and all he has to do to sweet talk developers into even cons

"Most good developers are gainfully employed" I agree, but I'd say that all good developers who want to be employed are employed. Companies bring up 10% unemployment because they think "Gosh with all this unemployment there will be lots o

How much do you pay, what relocation is offered, what interviewing expenses do you cover, what benefits are paid, what severance package is offered, and do you provide engineers with all the tools, books and training they request. You don't

by bugsy 16y ago
I agree, and I'd like to clarify that when we are talking about training it's not about learning how to program. It's about being OK with hiring a developer who is expert in C++, LISP and Haskell, and being able to say, hey, it's OK he does
