They don't, but they're also not necessary to have a quality IP. They are superfluous.

JPL also operates at CMM Level 5 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_Maturity_Model ) - unlike the vast majority of software companies I know.

I also know many Blizzard customers who appreciate that about them because they know the quality won't be abysmal because they rushed to meet a deadline - deadlines and granular communication of roadmaps are less important to them than the

Catching up to early 20th century western philosophy. Relevant links: - Heidegger/World-disclosure ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_and_Time ) - Nietzsche's will to power ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_to_power ) - Process and Real

Agreed. Crazy is just a dismissive term. Perfectly sane people can do things like murder other people - we have tons of them walking around today but we call them Veterans. Crazy, in this sense, should probably be replaced by societally dys

This seems to be a problem with social media in general. It doesn't encourage us to be our authentic selves but instead forces us to constantly be only who are allowed to be under scrutiny from others (usually strangers) - not the same thin

Walking definitely helps. Last year was a particularly rough one for me in a lot of ways and just going back to the mountain town where I grew up and hiking for a few hours in the forest really helped me to change my outlook. I consider it

Pretty awesome.

Reminds me of a lot of shitty start-ups out there - where management is terrible but thinks it can bribe people into sweatshop-style labor with meaningless perks.

There is support for graph rewriting for a Titan-backed data-set using Faunus. Titan does not support global graph operations. Therefore, Faunus was created to allow you to perform offline graph operations much like the one you've described

A pretty resentful and bitter piece by someone who seems to feel personally wronged by an industry he is clearly not a part of, but feels above on a moral and personal level.

Also perspective-el: https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el is fantastic for switching between multiple projects / window configurations giving you something like project sessions.

To me it seems a lot simpler. The perspective of the shot juxtaposes a lone man always against something much larger than himself - facing it head on. It's an archetypically heroic pose. If it has to do with anything Kantian I'd think it wo

Looks neat features. But I write neither HTML nor CSS on a regular basis. Does it offer anything for non-web programmers?

Yeah, the end really sent it off a cliff for me as well.

So another reiteration of "The Mythical Man Month" theses.

Agree. I work for a highly successful startup that has gone through several major rewrites on subcomponents and we're fine. Rewrites are not in and of themselves a universal evil - but writing shitty code is.

Tools have a lot to do with setting the range of possible creations you can make. If I have better tools I can build much larger buildings than you on similar timescales. It's the difference between using wood and all the standard tools to

by zenogais 14y ago
Then why even bother listening to what people who do want to be programmers write about your tools?

It would seem that programming languages play a big part in determining the level of structural complexity produced in a piece of software. Lisp, for example, is structurally simple while being functionally complex.
234.
by zenogais 14y ago
That was the point. Execution time is mostly inconsequential when compared to things like development time and competitive edge provided by the language you're using - you know, the actual money makings factors.

Scads have been written on the problems around morality so it is certainly not an over and done with "couldn't be more obvious" issue. The problem is we deem it one of these issues with no further debate - it's a nearly universal modern pre

You start by assuming you know what morality is and moral is and then launch into an examination of profitable designs that are immoral under your system. This discourse would be far more interesting if you abandoned your preconceptions and

These kinds of comments baffle me. Discussion and critical analysis of your tools is a great thing in my opinion. Work isn't everything.

They shouldn't. It's just another extreme position. Almost nothing is right for everybody.

At several companies I've worked at (and my current company) there have been severe limitations on future growth with the existing technology choices. It's more important to be able to remain agile and have a high ceiling for growth than to
