The OP sounds like an angry curmudgeon. He/she can't cut someone some slack if they're running a few minutes late? I'm glad I've never had to take a meeting with this person. This isn't about whether or not someone is disciplined enough to get enough sleep - this is about OP's rigid inflexibility. Things happen - your child has a tantrum at breakfast and spills something on you, your car has a flat, your cat dies. If life's inconveniences are too much for OP, he/she should consider working solo.
My current client is looking for Unity developer with at least one published title. Remote is fine. This client is in NYC. Email me and I'll connect you.
It seems to me that health insurers are already aligned with the goal of keeping patients from receiving care for acute conditions, so perhaps some of them, being private companies, unencumbered by special interests or government bureaucracy, will adopt systems like the one outlined in this article. Maybe that's a cynical outlook, but since it has been demonstrated that hospitals, being for-profit, are tragically misaligned with maintaining patients' wellness.
I find it amazing that somebody actually knew OP's code well enough to recognize it in the trailer. Or maybe someone searched github for the strings they saw instead? Either way, pretty cool - I'd love to have some code in a movie too!
The article title is inaccurate - "Matt" did know he was gay, he just wasn't out yet. Facebook's ad platform didn't figure it out before he did. Just as in the Target story, the young woman knew she was pregnant, she just hadn't told her father.
The fear mongering is a little high in this article. However, we should stop and think: why is it so scary for others to potentially know that we're gay? Or pregnant? Neither of these is a shameful state.
The law hasn't caught up to today's social standards quite yet. Just like you can fire someone because you don't like how they dress, you can fire someone for being gay, as choice in clothes and sexual orientation aren't "protected classes":
Setting aside the issue of denying to enter contract with somebody because he's gay (to remove any doubt, I think it is stupid), how the absence of laws that prohibit this behavior on the state level make US not "land of the free"? What the word "freedom" means for you?
The nature of privacy is the desire to control what others know about you and how they learn about it. Big Data is making that more difficult for individuals to control and it is making people uneasy.
I'm not a web developer, so maybe I just don't understand, but why is it so important to the author that there be wide adoption of Cappuccino? Why does it matter to him that the majority of the web dev community is favoring "micro JS"? Why does he care that other web devs don't want to take a day to learn ObjJ? Why would he leave a path he's so passionate about just because other devs aren't being good software engineers?
See, dotfiles like yours are why there's not more women in technology. As a feminist, I demand that your dotfiles be made inclusive by also accepting input from boobs.
Also, who uses h and l anymore? It's 2013, you should be using w and b.
