I have already made a wonderful core for a system like this, in a completely unexpected and terribly useful form, and plan to come out with it shortly! I don't know what our exact strategy for approaching the public is (out of many), so i haven't revealed any details publicly. We are a two person company built around this concept, so we felt it best to complete the thing before we started waving it around (or at least, get close enough to see the end, which is why i can even post this, today).
We would like to talk with people seriously interested in solving this problem (and problems that have not been discussed here yet), and who think as we think. Emailing me through slashdot, for today, would be a way to establish a connection with us (weeds out trolls, if nothing else). We are at the forefront of a new technology.
Dear Tharkkun,
Although there may be some truth to the network effects of communism you mention (corruption), you're thinking far too paranoid to make good decisions. Even given that the cheating is rampant at upper levels (as they do here in the USA, where lies, damn lies, and statistics made by PR do the job a little more smoothly) they will on the whole require the same precarious balance demanded of any "super power". World war three does not suit them at all and that's not hard to predict; if you toss out national boundaries that disappeared with globalization and financial networks, you'd see the decisions at the "top" you refer to are so thoroughly intertwined that you're really commenting on human nature, not scary chinese Communists bent on total destruction. That concepts getting old and reads without sophistication; Take a chill pill, and post us all in the morning.
truly, it's as if we should choose people to work together who actually have a lttlle in common. In many contracts i held, we didn't even read each others resumes. How can you build a bridge of understanding with a person who "just wants to work" and defines that as having no spark or interest greater than what's for lunch? (or, what's for project - same thing) Talking, and sharing mistakes freely - coming to know each other so as to render help and criticism without fear of reprisal IS work. That's what "professional engagement" means - one are engaged! I consider myself an eccentric coder (oh i do so qualify), but my major gripe wasn''t some big lack of skill - it was lack of professionalism. If people expect treating each other like strangers on the subway will make a better workplace, and if the company only promotes lax, lazy, quiet, and completely unstimulating environment - well, i can understand the divas better then the people that fail to *care*.
it's the lack of a single, piercing intellect who is given the power to do their best. You need SINGLE intelligence to coordinate complex maneuvers, and many minds to search out the plain of solutions like hunters of old. Coding is actually quite holistic, occurring in natural stages. Maybe the problem isn't that there too many or too few people; a good software team should be inspirational, allowing the members to spend time for excellence, even if its not obvious (to you, the hiring boss).
No surprise efficiency is an issue in some places; if one builds a "well oiled" machines for it's consistency of action, trouble us not about these tiny changes (in all honesty) that leave managers hoping humans can be better machines. The art you are looking for, and the people, aren't found where that idea lives.
I am very, very, very fricking exciting. the best just got better *does happy happy dance* (and that's not sarcasm!)
BUT YOURE NOT "ultimately taxing people". THAT's THE GP's POINT!
a seed used for food is not a *viable* seed. I don't see your point.
you can't. WE can. that's always been the formula.
oh yes, I see, so you have no confidence of joining one of these institutions and making them better -- you can't conceive of anyone like you doing it, either. They sure could use people like you, couldn't they? People who care? But you'd rather post how little anyone cares (a flawed supposition), then fail to post how little you care in return.
That's not any answer worth +5.
so no further answer? i
Psst hey, nyquist called and wanted to ask you, what's the frequency, kenneth?

nice to know, my gf uses fortran for modelling so i know it's serious but i would have bet much it was 0-based. can you help a bit more, and give me your opinion as to why 1-based languages make any sense, at all? I know it's a simple policy choice, but it makes as much sense as starting at the letter 'b' (with the 'a' at the end, not omitted) when reciting the alphabet. I consider myself above average in programming and can't see it; what value does it give that the lack of standardization doesn't take away? (pre)Thanks!---
anything even remotely serious will have zero-based arrays; java falls under the 'serious' category (perhaps too serious, but i'm a dynamic type of guy)
They did that for us in elementary school, escorted us through juvenile as a field trip, even showed off the taser (circa 1991?) for us.
Now when i think back, i am only reminded that real monsters exist, and we encourage whole towns to get into sadistic torture.
