Hey, Internet? Why are we required to enter location for certain themes? (in Gmail)
Morton Fox, Mo Kargas and Alex Scoble liked this
I still haven't been able to see the tab under Settings. =(
- Shevonne
I'm thinking it's like the themes on IGoogle. They change depending on the time of day
- Shevonne
OMG Shevonne, you are right. From the Themes help section: "In some cases, you can also customize by location. Some themes change during the day, and we use the location information you provide to correctly time these changes with your local sunrise, sunset, and/or weather. "
- Mona Nomura
from IM
Yeah, I'm obsessed with iGoogle, so that is the only reason I knew. =)
- Shevonne
It's like the themes in iGoogle as Shevonne said...It's so that they change how they look depending upon whether it's night or day in your area, etc.
- Alex Scoble
igoogle is too much of a clusterfuck for me.

"I like how clean it is, and you’re right, the absence of the sidebar is pretty good, and I’m sure we’ll more blogs without it… But in the meantime, I think there’s some tweaks needed in the comments, they’re hard to read, I mean it’s difficult to differentiate each comment… It’s too black&white, it’d need some grey… Anyway, the design brings more focus on the content, and that’s the most important. Keep up the good work!"

No one gave Def Leppard the Stanley Cup instruction manual? - http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Helen Sventitsky, Daniel J. Pritchett and Cee Bee liked this
"The Detroit Red Wings may be feeling a twinge of embarrassment after their 3-2 home-opening loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, in which the Stanley Cup champions passed the puck like a remedial-level pee-wee team. That is, until Def Leppard's Joe Elliott redefined the concept of embarrassment during one of their NHL Face-Off Rocks segments at the Fox Theater in Detroit. This is what you get for booking a band from England: Drive on the wrong side of the road, place the holiest of holy hockey grails on a pedestal upside down."

Interesting. Just saw something that suggests that C++ is still more popular C# for hobbyist programmers which goes against what I've been told a thousand times over (e.g., C++ is dead!). Of course, VB still leads the pack which makes Yuvi happy and me confused.
Satya, Rishabh Mishra (p248), Susan Beebe and 4 other people liked this
Hah! Case-insensitiveness ftw! Try explaining to a naive wannabe programmer why A != a
- Yuvi
For the same reason "I" is grammatically correct and "i" isn't. They aren't the same symbol. They don't even look the same. Case insensitivity is for the birds.
- Mark Trapp
PHP is more fun$variable-name = error $variable_name no error! have fun coding, code monkey! ;-)
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
What I can't get over in VB is that the language itself uses capitalization yet it's case insensitive when it comes to user keywords and variables.
- Akiva Moskovitz
probably because .NET wrappers != .NET
- Tim Hoeck
from NoiseRiver
I think it depends on what field, but private inhouse development that you never hear about is the vast majority of all development and there is a lot of legacy there, not that C++ is only for legacy apps. But I guess it isn't surprising.
- felix
@Akiva - VB9 appears to use TitleCase 'coz VS formats it so. Maybe the reason why it's considered more verbose than C# - Caps take up more pixels.
- Yuvi
I think it's more verbose because of "End If", "Dim As", etc. They just only recently added a ternary operator. "OrElse" instead of "||" ;) It's definitely more verbose. (I like VB. I use VB every working day. But it's definitely not as concise as C# (which I never use))
- James (@willia4)
felix, that's true but what makes this statistic surprising is that it's specific to hobbyist programmers. Can't say where it comes from exactly because I'm under NDA, unfortunately. Of course, now that I think about it, it could be skewed a little since most university CS programs still emphasize C++, don't they?
- Akiva Moskovitz
@James - Casts? Semicolons? I *hate* casts. Optimizing for special cases = shitty.
- Yuvi
@Yuvi -- We turn on Option Explicit and Option Strict on so we actually tend to do quite a bit of casting. DirectCast(foo, BarType) is much more verbose than just (BarType)foo. ;)
- James (@willia4)
Akiva - My CS program started us on Java moved us to C, then taught us C++, then let us do whatever we wanted.
- James (@willia4)
@James - Okay, I agree that it's more verbose if you have Option Strict on. I have Option Explicit On, Strict Off :D
- Yuvi
@Yuvi I'm a big believer in static typing in general. (I like ObjC where it can easily go either way). (Edit: replaced "strong" with "static")
- James (@willia4)
@James - I'm a fan of just-strong-enough typing, not the IronMan v40 type strong-typing as seen in C#/Java ;)
- Yuvi
Probably all the "I'm going to become a leet games programmer, and other leet game programmers tell me that C++ is what I need to learn" people. And most CS departments tend to have switched to Java (the good ones teach Lisp/Scheme, Haskell or Ruby first, of course ;-).
- Tom Morris
Yuvi -- That's just because you've not chased down enough bugs where things just made absolutely no sense (because the type you think an object has isn't the type it actually has). :)
- James (@willia4)
@James - Like? Example?
- Yuvi
Tom, Java makes my heart and head ache. I've tried learning it several times but I could just never get into it (although I really like Eclipse).
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, ahh, huh - yeah, misread that part of your post. That is surprising! Although, I'd guess it involved an aging hobbyist programmer group. Back in the day, you could choose from C++ or C, these a days most hobbyists are probably opting for php and what not.
- felix
I've definitely run into that sort of thing over in ObjC/Cocoa when I've overused the id type. It will try to send a message to an object which doesn't respond to that message and weird things happen. I don't have any specific examples, though, as it never seemed noteworthy enough to document. Less so in the .Net world, if only because my employer mandates Option Strict. ;)
- James (@willia4)
Akiva - First time I seriously tried getting into Java, I was shocked to find that they had no Properties.
- Yuvi
@James - but seriously, I code with Option Strict off and haven't run into issues like you describe. I've run into many facepalm situations, but none were 'coz of type mismatches.
- Yuvi
C# +1
- Jordan Hofker
Yuvi -- This is the eternal debate. ;) While I like my religious arguments as much as the next geek, in reality I'm a big proponent of "Use what works. Getting the job done is the important thing."
- James (@willia4)
@James - we belong to the same religion then ;)
- Yuvi
Are we actually having an argument for VB? Ugh... Are you kidding? VB? *Super hide*
- Bwana ☠
Bwana - VB has lambdas now! It's a real (incredibly verbose) language now!
- James (@willia4)
*screams* It has XML Literals!
- Yuvi
What, no one else has to code in Lotus Script? *ducks and hides, because I do have to*
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
And to think my original goal was to spark a conversation about C# and C++!
- Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva - ofcourse, you Invoked me here :P BTW, if I weren't fluent in C++/STL, should I learn it?
- Yuvi
Oh. Sorry about that! I don't really have an opinion about C# as I never use it or C++ as I have avoided it since college.
- James (@willia4)
Yuvi, a good thing about learning C++ is that you get to learn about parts of programming that .NET and scripting languages shield you from. Memory management, destructors, pointer arithmetic, etc. You'll probably hate it, though, because, y'know, it has semi-colons and brackets but, more seriously, because things that are handled automatically by .NET now have to handled manually by you. Chasing down memory leaks are not what I call fun times.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Not this hobbyist programmer. I do a lot in Perl and Vim script, and a bit in Lua.
- Morton Fox
This frustrates me because I don't want to learn Java but I also want to get away from Microsoft. There are plenty of .NET jobs off-campus but there are plenty more in Java-land. Being a C++ developer just sounds so much more bad ass than being a C# or Java programmer. And, as you all well know, sounding like a bad ass is more important than having widely employable skills. Yeah!
- Akiva Moskovitz
When I was studying CS 4, 5, 6 years ago, the introductory programming classes were in Java, after which they switched to C++ in order to teach data structures and advanced algorithms. And then there was assembly for logic design & all it's low-level friends. I liked C++ a lot, but I have very little experience with C# since I have been in web development ever since.
- Tom Harrison

Real geeks would rather have machines than friends... I'm just saying.
- Jemm
I think it is true what Hakan says. MAC is a friend who has high restrictions and a wide private space which is always under control of her father. Windows is a machine who can't understand itself well. I believe linux is a machine which can understand and do everything if you can choose your words wisely.

My network is my friend... any individual machine is just a node. I upgrade hardware and components regularly... no need to get attached to one. I will say that Windows has done much, much more for me than MacOS ever did. The huge installed base and the commodity pricing of the hardware have both allowed me to make a living for my whole life in the technology industry in a way restricting myself to Apple products never would have.

I am glad folks use whatever environment they feel most comfortable in. I frankly was born without the fanboy / cult gene so it's not something I get all upset with. I wills ay I get much, much more done with the amount of hardware I can easily afford from non-apple vendors than I woudl have paying Apples prices all this time :)
- Soulhuntre
I think hardware has reached a kind of automobile position in most people's daily lives: you don't have to understand internal combustion to turn on the key and go. Most folks will stick with what they know or are at least familiar with. @Soulhuntre makes a good point: it's now all about the cloud. I'm waiting for the 15" touchscreen OLED wireless cloudpad.

with the pagerization-greasemonkey-script active on my firefox I sometimes go 5 or more pages back. depends on my mood and free time. usually it's just the first and the best-of-page though :)

Almost never use "Friends" tab (only when everything else is boring) (1) My feed (2) Check people who liked/commented my thread & their discussions - click through to other people - esp. Robert Scoble, Louis Gray, Mona Nomura, Polly Roberts (3) Best of (4) Best of - 100 posts (5) Everyone by service - 100 threads (6) Friends - 1 page (7) Friends - 100 posts (8) Friends - 4 pages #0-399.

Normally one, but I also frequently scan the first 100 items of the individual feeds in my "followed and following" bookmarks folder

I read as many pages back as i need to... in order to find where i left off the last time i was on FF. Now that the 11 limit is gone, i often go into the 20s if i haven't been on for a day...... I can't believe i'm the only one who does it this way?? (and it takes some time too!)
- Ňicķ
I read all the pages till I reach the point where I last read before leaving. Can't stand the feeling of " If I missed some important thing ". I use FF twice in a day. And each visit generally takes 1,5 hours.

We're in Phoenix via Raleigh, NC, via Baton Rouge, LA, via several cities in MS. One day when I came home in tears out of frustration at my job in NC, Tad said "Let's move out West." My mom had moved to a suburb of Phoenix a couple years previous so it was the obvious place for us. We love it here, though Tad doesn't want to retire here. We'd probably both love SF but I'm afraid of living in California!

CA (San Diego -> San Jose -> Cupertino -> Santa Clara -> SJSU) -> Bath, UK -> South Dakota -> CA (SJSU -> Livermore -> San Ramon -> San Jose); I seem to keep ending up in San Jose.

For years, I was living all over the country but eventually decided I was ready to settle down. I narrowed my search down to four cities: Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, and Boston. Asked friends, wrote to their Chambers of Commerce, and decided on Seattle. Got an apartment lined up without ever having stepped foot in the city before. Drove up here and started a new life. That'll be ten years ago next May. Best decision of my life.

Sydney, very nice, only thing that sucks is the property prices... Expect I'll probably live here the rest of my life (fine with me), unless for some reason need to move elsewhere for work. Moved here to find work as the smaller city I'm originally from is a tourist town (no computer work).

It makes sense considering that the Disney films back in the day were literally animated .. aka done by hand and not computers. I think that makes them more enjoyable knowing all of the hard work that went into them.

They used to have to wash the animation cels and reuse them as well. This stuff has always been pretty expensive to produce. You need someone to draw it, someone to ink it, someone to paint, need gorgeous backgrounds, massive camera setups, etc etc etc. If there aren't enough people then yeah two dudes have to do all of that. All under a tight budget and tight time constraints.

Makes sense, you have to reuse anything you can in animation, it's costly to produce every single frame, especially when they're hand drawn. They don't completely reuse the frame, just the basic, note each example was altered to fit into its movie/art style. If they didn't reuse the frames, body positions, and animations then each Disney movie would have a different feel entirely, you wouldn't get that "Disney-looking-movie" feel that everyone likes.
