> canning WebSQL for spurious reasons

The way to implement WebSQL is to copy SQLite 3.1.9. That is not exactly a baked specification, that is the kind of crap companies used to pull to make unimplementable "standards" for everyone who doesn't license their code and doing that a few times over a decade would make w3c compliant browsers pretty crappy.

I'm also puzzled by the assisted suicide question. I would think being against it as a healthy person might be a sign of greedy self interest, i.e. their right to the sick family member over the needs of the family member.

There is also this little gem:

Primary psychopathy also had a non-significant trend towards morning chronotype, (b = .16, p < .10)

I had to combine it with this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy#Primary_and_seconda...

It sounds like people who have been abused by mainstream society or have awareness and anxiety about potential abuses tend towards nights and avoidance of banking hours as a loss avoidance, and people who feel they can actually exploit others (leadership skills, primary psychopaths, CEOs) like day time hours to seek their social gains.

Perhaps they need to look at a society that runs differently to understand the links. For example, Egypt tends toward later hours to avoid daytime heat. Are secondary psychopaths morning people in Egypt and leaders and/or primary psychopaths night time people?

You find the same people everywhere, but they are only honest when they are allowed to be.

There is the duolingo study: http://static.duolingo.com/s3/DuolingoReport_Final.pdf

I would interpret its table 11 as emphasizing the need for entertainment or other focus retention for success within a school curriculum. (I consider duolingo good at instant feedback but incapable of retaining focus without significant external motivation.)

> run a queue that will pull the data over.

Are there standards for these kind of general pseudo devices in virtual machines? (Or you would use the cut&past buffer for example?)

To my knowledge, secure sites use(d) hardware methods to guarantee a one way channel (snip half an ethernet cable, override peer/auto detection and then use udp.)

There are ways to lose your trademarks if you use them or simply allow them to be used in the wrong contexts. I think their competitors would argue that this is one of those ways.

I wasn't really trying to distinguishing between personal quantifiable gains from other gains. My being annoyed for someone else whose showed me ridiculous workarounds is a perfect example of a reason I would fix software so >I< can feel better about reality, myself and experience less pain and embarrassment for my profession if I help them again in the future.

For pure experience programming, sure we write "garbage software" to make the changes in ourselves. But if it is worth sharing (even for edification or statistical analysis) then we go back to a personal reason otherwise it has little relevance to the larger topic of discussion, and I personally focus on the garbage in "garbage software" rather than software.

> How would you know which projects to "shut up and code" for?

You should need something before you have a desire to make it. But most likely you are already using something you would like to improve upon.

If neither of those is the case, why try to write software?
