I find digital ocean to be much simpler to use. you spin up a linux box, if you need a second one you can do it almost immediately. AWS is more powerful but much more complicated.
I prefer to put my projects on DO and if they scale too much then I would consider using AWS (hasn't happened yet!). No experience with linode.

Spark control was much more primitive, carbureted engines just were not good candidates for all the complexity of hoses and such, gas of varying quality would clog catalytic converters... the technologies were just in an intermediate state. There were all "add parts" improvements.

Japanese cars could be better but frequently were even much more complex.

They might meet EPA off the lot, new, but after five years... I had a 1979 Buick Regal (normally aspirated, 3.8 L V6 ) that was getting like 8 MPG when I sold it in 1993 or so. No mechanic in three states could find anything wrong.
Thanks for your opinion and alternatives. I got similar feedbacks about hunt wording. I will re-consider all alternatives again.
$70/m - I'd pay for that (only in Nashville at at the moment). This kind of idea is great, makes it easy to discover new coffee shops, and they get new customers. At the end of the day the actual raw cost to the shop is fairly low, and unless you have some crazy caffeine tolerance you're unlikely to drink more than 4 (?) cups a day, maybe 5 days a week. $3.50 a cup; seems reasonable. I'd hope for some kind of reward system or regular/random promotions, maybe to check different cafes.

When's the sushi version coming? That would be a great combo!
Wow what an interesting coincidence...I just moved to Austin and am working on preserving some extremely historic recordings. Emailing you now!
You're welcome, and thanks for making the change. I use Firefox Nightly, so it may be that it was a problem waiting for an up'n'coming Firefox release before it got more widely noticed.
I'd expect this to end up as Android app permissions in the best case where almost every app you try to install wants access to GPS, files and quite a few - to SMS. And the reason for this is quite clear - users (on a large scale) don't care about security and probably never will.

What this could help with is organizing easier review process. E.g. if an extension is described to show a weather forecast in the browser, it probably shouldn't be accessing mail.google.com.

My understanding is that the Apple IIG was designed by members of the Mac team. It's also worth noting that the IIGS had resolution, speed, memory and color that would not be matched on the Mac or PC for years more to come. It was an extraordinary machine. (disclosure: I created HyperStudio for the Apple IIGS in 1988, and the rest, as they say, is history).

MBAs can be particularly useful at extracting value from an existing product / solution, fielding complicated legal / accounting issues, ensuring communication within large companies has high (or at least respectable) signal-to-noise, executing M&A / partnerships, working with outside partners or services...

There are well-defined scenarios where an MBA has some value. Agree with you that managing developers is typically not one of these scenarios, but I don't believe b-schools typically frame MBA programs as a means to teach management of people but rather management of well-known business problems.

A good proportion of managers get promoted due to necessity rather than merit (as mentioned a the beginning of the OP). This issue is more conspicuous now that employees of fast-growing companies are more open about this issue and have time to blog about it (as growth has become somewhat more efficient).

Would love to see the space of engineering management get "disrupted" by high-quality, community-reviewed, and freely available publications. Might not 'kill MBAs' but will help people decide if they even need an MBA.
They are finite. Hire for the ability to create valuable networks and connections, not for the few contacts that someone got in exceptional circumstances (like studying an MBA).

After being a consultant, engineer, manager and again starting as allinone on a small project, I believe organizational hierarchy is just an OK solution. If I put on a career planner hat, I find so many career paths which are in big hierarchies personally bad deals and would avoid them in future and advice the same to others. I wrote a summary of what I observed so many times. Sorry for a lengthy post.

When a software company becomes successful, it becomes a magnet for crazies. The crazies are the process-people who use fancy marketing lingo to tell you that you are doing something inadequate and you should be using a different methodology which is more correct for your company.

This takes the conversation away from “ideas” to “sudo-ideas”. The conversation shifts from what made the product amazing and what else we can do about it to a new conversation about how someone should do a certain job and fulfill its role. A new engineer with a good potential to produce software will have to go through a phase of self doubt surviving in this world and asking himself/herself if he/she is meeting the role and understanding what it means to meet the role. Now you need more people who are smarter than the engineer to tell him/her and hold him/her accountable and enforce certain improvements needed to fulfill this role.

This leads to a burdensome overhead which derails the whole organization from focusing on the core or the simplicity in its culture which enabled the business to succeed in the first place. This overhead and drama around it is what the smart helpless people call politics. Instead of a plan to solve a problem you can see people talking about a plan for a plan. Instead of a simple understanding between people, there will be a process to come up with more process. Someone writes a document about how to write documents because somehow that seems to be more rewarded. You got to be good at being the process abiding employee fulfilling the Role to play in this environment. An expert professional sees this system as something that is designed to keep you at the same level of influence no matter how much value you can produce and sees the leadership very un-inspiring.

There comes a point where if you are a productive engineer, it is more easy to build something and let the market forces decide if your invention is worth any merit. The bar in the market is not too high either. You build an app that lets you share your dick pictures, you get a billion dollar investment. Though it takes multiple engineer teams to produce useful software, it is possible to build a very useful feature or system that is missing from an ecosystem of a larger product or service. This micro service/product which generates revenue, Improves on the market feedback, succeed and itself might one day become a magnet for crazies. The feedback the market gives you is far more useful and actionable than the feedback you get in a large organization that is designed to to fit you to the role.

How to Easily Monitor Liquid Gas in Cryogenic Storage Tanks
I don't personally care about Python packaging (and virtualenv) anymore when I can use any relevant Python package with Nix, or easily make a Nix package myself. I just hope the wheels don't make it harder to package stuff with Nix. With eggs I think there's something like an --old-and-unmanagable flag that makes it still output a directory structure.

For deploying software to end-users (rather than developers), bundling all required Python code with appropriate wrapping to adjust PYTHONPATH works just fine.
I don't think it's that easy and I do think the parent has a point. I mean, while you're busy writing a perl one-liner to munge on your file, ten daemons are writing to their log files, all on the same file system. You want to roll back the effects of your script doing an accidental rm ~/*, but not what's in the logs. Probably a better idea is to strace the shell's children and record changes, then apply or forget them.

There's easy availability, but it requires installing the Apple Developer Tools, which can either be done at install time (by not by default) or by downloading them from apple. So even though python is installed by default a C compiler might not be, and if a beginner is trying to use python for the first time they might be daunted by having downloading several gigabytes of developer tooling to install one python package.
Data Science with Python and R: Dimensionality Reduction and Clustering
Ads are the only micropayment solution that has worked so far.

There are a few ideas out there to make things better (I'm currently working on one) but it's a very long road that requires massive reach and coordination between lots of major companies to work effectively at scale (as in the internet and not just 5 sites). Biggest issue is that people just don't like paying for content, or dealing with transactions (at the pace of website access).

Also, I think people tend to forget but payments aren't really that much more private than ads. In fact most ad networks don't know that much or it's very confused (just go look up any of the info registries to see). Payments however usually mean a central service + credit cards = name, age, address, purchase history, etc.

I understand it is impossible to make these things fit in a proper relational model. For instance, modeling dates when artworks are made circa a date, between 2 dates, started by someone and finished by someone else, is very complex. That said, they should at least try. Being able to sort artworks by date seems pretty fundamental to me!

Look at the data released by the Cooper-Hewitt that someone posted below. They actually have some kind of structure!
Again as a casual user, I don't want to state anything too strongly, because some of it could be user error... but a few of the troubles I've had just trying to use and update Python in the last couple of years include packages from PyPI being broken and refusing to install; this including pip so pip was not able to update itself. Packages with dependencies that won't install from PyPI (or installation fails on my machine), sending you looking for tarballs. No clear route to upgrade between semi-major versions of Python. Things that install but need the config frobbing before they work - I'm not afraid of doing that but it's always a hassle.

I think some of the problems were self-inflicted by trying to use Python on a Mac with no package manager, and on Windows. Things will get easier on the Linux side with Python 3 in repositories now. But it really seems like a fairly common pattern for languages / programming environments is to install the languages package manager and upgrade packages separately from the OS package manager. For whatever reason this seems like a bigger headache with Python than others.

The average of the provable probabilities is the resultant probability. About 36%.
No, that's not the case: The trade agreements have a very limited scope, and the US oversteps those boundaries consistently. Our government in Germany ends up sending not even a strongly worded letter to the US because they don't want to risk the international relationship, but the official position is that these actions are illegal.

It's just like the NSA affair. And the fact that in the Microsoft case a US judge stated that, even though the servers in question were in Europe, the US could seize them because the internet was a US invention and the company had made business in the US just shows the issue: the US legal enforcement consistently oversteps nations boundaries.

The thing about Matchstick was this line from the original campaign:

"The product is fully functional today, with the hardware design final, tooling complete, and manufacturing ready to ramp up in the next 30-60 days"

followed six-months later by:

"We want to update the hardware" and "is being updated to support DRM" amd the ship date being moved back to now.

A lot of people backed Matchstick because it was going to be open - the plans were all available for download, it was all ready to go, and we were going to have kit in our hands really quickly. Instead we were going to get something that was slowed down by six months so that it could have closed DRM-support added. And then it's cancelled because they added support for something that wasn't even part of the original campaign!

It's not surprising that the backers are upset.

I am a software developer with 6 years of experience of full stack development, I have worked with Rails, JavaScript and PHP. I have made apps working solo, but I like it better when there is a good team to help each other and improve together.

While I have learned some useful things these years, there is still a lot I don't know and I am honest to be upfront with it. But I don't lock myself when facing a new challenge: I search in Google, StackOverflow, I read books, I ask people for help (in person, mail, twitter, etc.) and I always find a solution (or present a viable alternative).

If you are working in an interesting project with a cool team, let's talk!

As can engineers. Aside from the presumption that MBAs want to and are hired to do this kind of stuff, and will put in 100% of their time doing it, there's no exceptional value that the MBA education in itself brings, IMHO. Most of this is stuff that a reasonably smart person would be expected to pick up on the job. The MBA does not learn enough finance/accountancy to do a CFO/accountant's job, nor does he learn enough to do a lawyer's job...
I am also faced this same problem .How to solve it.
