Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Fox cancels 'Dollhouse' http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr...

Fact is, Dollhouse ratings were awful. I can't blame Fox for canceling.
- Stephen Mack
I could take the best show in the world and mismanage it in to bad ratings. Glee isn't actually a very good show, but the Fox Marketing Machine has blessed it and they can make people think the show is a phenomenon that you need to follow unless you want to be a social outcast.
- Kevin Fox
I honestly haven't even seen the show yet, but after what happened with Firefly, this isn't terribly surprising. Either Fox can't manage these shows, or the audience is just too stupid to appreciate them.
- Joel Webber
Fox would rather show something like "So you think you're a fly fisherman!" than any show that takes thought.
- Kevin Pedraja
Kevin, it's true. With Firefly there were countless examples of mismanagement -- wrong order, terrible promotions, pre-emptions due to sports. With Dollhouse, the main bad treatment was putting it on Fridays (a sign from the beginning they had no confidence) and lack of promotion. But once the show airs and it gets low ratings, they can't really suddenly move it to a plum spot or pile on the promotions, because there's no evidence the show would do better.
- Stephen Mack
We need to make a pact, all of us agree we make sure that Jandy never finds out about this. We'll just hide it. We'll produce and act out episodes and let her think the show is still going.

Not sure if is was the fault of Joss or Fox but the early episodes were so bad I imagine they lost most of their audience from the get go and most probably never checked back.

Don't hate me, but I didn't think much of Dollhouse. I'm a big fat Whedon fan, but Dollhouse didn't hold a candle to Firefly or Buffy. I thought the writing was weak, and the character development was weaker. *braces for the unfollows*

I don't think Dollhouse was his best work. But the show was getting better over time. And it was surely better than a good portion of the dreck that passes for prime-time TV these days.
- Kevin Pedraja
Matthew, lol. Too late. The show's been on borrowed time all season, though, honestly. The thing that got me was the show actually did fairly well taking DVR and hulu viewings into account. The nets don't want to count those, though, because they can't sell those numbers to prime-time advertisers. Ed, the first episodes being bad were Fox's fault. They asked him to recut the pilot and...

Kevin, Joss likes Glee and I don't think he would if it weren't very good. It's not amazingly kickass, but it's definitely very good. Still, you are correct that if Fox had put the kind of blitz behind Dollhouse that Glee got, it would have more viewers. However, due to Fox's inability to let Whedon be Whedon, the show people would have seen if Dollhouse had had huge advance promo would...

What do you know? Valleywag got everything wrong. Google is hiring, not laying off. Also, our interview scores actually correlate very well with on-the-job performance. Peter Seibel asked me if there was anything counterintuitive about the process and I said that people who got one low score but were hired anyway did well on-the-job. To me, that means the interview process is doing very well, not that it is broken. It means that we don't let one bad interview blackball a candidate. We'll keep interviewing, keep hiring, and keep analyzing the results to improve the process. And I guess Valleywag will keep doing what they do...

From /Film: "Buried in a trade break about Denis Leary’s production shingle Apostle Films, which is developing a bunch of new shows to prepare for Rescue Me’s scheduled 2011 end point, there’s an interesting piece of detail. The company has bought the rights to Gattaca, Andrew Niccol’s 1997 sci-fi film, and will develop it as a television series. Variety specifically says this: The company has secured the rights to the feature film Gattica [sic], which they plan to develop as a one-hour police procedural set in the future. The Gattica smallscreen adaptation will be written by Gil Grant and is being developed through Sony TV’s international division."

I don't quite understand this from an intellectual property standpoint. If you're going to turn this into a police procedural, what is there from the movie that would require you to purchase the rights? It was pretty minimalistic on effects, ripped most of the visual style straight from the 60s and 60s sci fi... and it's not a particularly recognizable film or set of characters. Why not just do your own retro-scifi police procedural and build from scratch?
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken: at a minimum, the right to call it Gattaca and reference the movie in marketing material.

Sure, but why? The film grossed $12M, and did 1/3 of that on opening weekend. Does it have enough of a cult following that they thought it was worth it? Then again, they probably got the rights pretty cheap.

I agree it would be nice if datetime objects had a method to get a timestamp. They've got a fromtimestamp() constructor after all. I think the argument is that it's possible to have a datetime object from before 1970, so the conversion won't always succeed. But I don't think I've ever used datetime with such a date.
- Jeremy Hylton
Makes sense, I guess. :) While I'm at it, moving between the datetime, time, and day types involves a lot of typing and bookkeeping. And it would be hot if I could divide timedelta by timedelta and get a float back!

In my ideal world, there would be high level languages (Python, Scheme, and Javascript) for 95% of the code and C++ for the 5% that is performance critical, and there would be good, freely available technologies to bridge the two together. I don't really see any room left for Java.
- Tudor Bosman
However, there is a disconnect when people assume that HLL means duck typing, that all languages with static type systems must be boilerplate laden like Java, that you can't have a REPL for a static language, can't have image-based development, etc. Basically, Java has become so synonymous with static typing, that people assume the problem is static typing itself.

I think the greatest thing to come out of Java is .Net! In particular, C# 4.0 is a pretty damn fine language.
- Gabe
Yep, MS is not shy about being aggressive and potentially breaking old code, Java has definitely been too conservative in this respect, but now it's too late, since the amount of code out there is so sizable, no one wants to introduce breaking changes. Although I'd give the edge to Scala, it's not as easy to write as C#.
- Ray Cromwell
Ray: I believe that MS is quite good about not breaking old code, and I've never heard of a .Net program that had the typical Java problem of Program v.X only working properly on JVM v.Y -- although the Java world does appear to be stymied by not wanting to upgrade their VM.
- Gabe
Wasn't there breakage from CLR1.0 to CLR2.0? The problem with Java is, no central player controls the tool chain. Add a language or bytecode feature, and an enormous number of libraries, IDEs, analysis tools, etc have to change. While C# has its own ecosystem, it seems dwarfed by Java's, and Microsoft pretty much owns the IDE. Java seems pretty much frozen in its current state unless someone forks the open source project.
- Ray Cromwell
While it is possible that some things broke from v1.0 to v2.0, they tried hard not to let that happen. However since it's impossible to make all things backward and forward compatible, they also made it easy to have both CLRs usable at the same time. I believe that is a lesson they learned from Java.
- Gabe
I should also add that C# is probably the best thing that ever happened to Java. Most of Java's new features were only added because C# had them!

Luckily you can remove yourself from Google Wave by simply not using it. Google Wave is basically a research project, just like demos at SIGCHI. Don't confuse it with a real product.

I fully admit that Wave has a lot of details that remain to be ironed out, but it's completely unreasonable to call it "not a real product".

@Stephen: 1. The arrow keys here is that they (along with home/end) are used to move among blips, which one could argue is the closest corollary to the "line by line" one would normally associate with up/down arrow keys. 2. When you're dragging, the shadow is the proportional part, rather than the widget itself. This avoids the problem in traditional scroll bars, where the...

Joel, thanks for the explanations. For 1, you're right, arrow keys are working for me now. (I had trouble previously.) So that's great.
