That's fine for simple one-off apps that don't require serious infrastructure, but Heroku is just ridiculous with its pricing if you need any kind of complexity.

I can burn through 1GB of Redis cache really easily; on Heroku, that's $200 a month. On AWS a cache.t2.small instance is $16 a month. The same for SQL space, disk storage, etc., once you're past a certain point Heroku becomes just unbelievably expensive.
The flip side of demanding $15/hr -> robots become the cheaper option
Do mean Elastic Beanstalk? "EBS" is Elastic Block Storage, that doesn't make sense in this context.
I'm ambivalent about the binge watching trend--especially for more complex serialized shows where I appreciate being able to watch along in a paced way more or less synchronously with a broader community. (For short more sitcom-y series OTOH, I'm fine with everything being released at one time.)
Thank you and good night :) Sombre indeed!
I was in Shenzhen and Xiamen for 2 weeks in April, and am headed back there in a month.

This time I'll actually be living on-site at one of our partner manufacturer's factory towns. It's difficult to wrap your head around the sheer scale of what has happened.

The factory town I'll be living in is 2 hours from the nearest city. Until the founder decided to build a factory there it was a tiny tropical village with population in the 100s. The air is clean. The weather in April a balmy 72F.

Today, it is home to 10000+ workers who all work for the manufacturer. Some live in company housing, but most have homes with their families in the surrounding villages. There are basketball courts, tennis courts and a running track that circles the compound.

The facility is vertically integrated - one building die casts metal molds, another uses them to injection mold plastic. They meet another truck from the PCB building and all get together at the assembly line.

The assembly line itself is a pressure positive facility - the air pressure inside is slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure so that air with impurities never gets in.

I was there for around 8 hours and I spent it in a daze. The kind of physical product development you could do with the kind of resources available there are otherworldly. I can't wait to be back.

What is not-affordable about this? If a college costs $10k + $10k cost of living each year that's $20k a year in spending.

Working 20 hour weeks (not uncommon) covers $8-10k of that - so the total debt load is around $40-50k after 4 years. This can be paid off on a $40k a year salary given a desire to spend money wisely.

Powershell is fairly new... I'm surprised Microsoft is using `$_` instead of the common (in UNIX) `$?` to represent the current value in the pipe. It's almost like they go out of their way to not conform to anything other OS' have already done.
Because of their "Better for us, and the planet" section, I would have said that they were concerned about the resource strain created by the meat and dairy industry and they were trying to use an interesting restaurant concept to introduce people to more efficient food. I decided that wasn't the case when I found that they use dairy.
I came hoping to see robots making food; I left disappointed seeing no robots at all.

That's a pretty bold statement...

Very thorough explanations though!
Elastic Beanstalk. :)
It has been said that every cell in your body is replaced every 7 to 10 years. This is not actually true, since brain cells aren't replaced but if it was, we would all be "Ships of Theseus".
What the hell do people not understand about containers?! They are not virtualization. They're just regular damn processes running on the kernel. So no, of course not.
I'm wondering if / how the identity problem, blockchain proof of physical ownership and ...

Well, firstly applications should stop thinking they are CoW - data is something that gets passed in and operated on.

Secondly data operations should be side effect free - and distributed, so that we can ask for processing- in many ways I would expect not to share my data but to accept payment in return for some slice of processing someone wants

This may work ok, and generally the things we want (social networks) will be fine with local data sharing - facebooks walled garden would have to be replaced with open protocol (ie AOL -> SMTP) and no idea how to achieve that.

So im not setting the world on fire here. But I think the shape of future is clear - just getting there ...
Well, in the end that goes for advertisers and website makers both, I guess.

I think it is a pretty difficult conundrum, with stalking and annoying ads being unethical, but easy advertising services being a good thing for website producers.

I'm working on my first commercial site, but don't know how to go about funding it in a way that wouldn't bother me - not everyone is willing to pay for membership and I'd like to be able to use ads without being an douchebag.

I just don't know how yet.

> So there are windowsservercore containers. Are they real windows?

"Server Core is a minimal server installation option for computers running on the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system. Server Core provides a low-maintenance environment capable of providing core server roles"

Basically server core is stripped down version of windows without a GUI[1] that will run most server roles, Powershell etc.

1. Well it kind of has a GUI, but one that is only capable of running cmd.exe and little else.
I could re-deploy a heroku app on my typical stack (ruby, rails, postgres) to digital ocean or similar in a couple of hours.

Most of that would just be setting up the new one and migrating the data across.

You don't have to significantly alter apps (in that stack) to be heroku-compatible.
Adblock Plus tried to address this but was given a ton of grief for it. I thought the idea of having an acceptable ads filter was smart.
I think the gist of it is our increased brain capacity let us acheive more with the tools, and more importantly to propagate knowledge of developments over generations because we lived in interconnected groups, societies, better communicators perhaps.
As the number of external dependency(i.e bootstrap) increases, I find using something like bower very useful. It's probably not worth it for solo projects where bootstrap is the only external dependency
Hmm, I didn't realize that (not a Perl guy obviously). Even so, Perl isn't a shell, it's a runtime/language. Whereas powershell is, a shell. I would have expected it to be more UNIX-like in that regard.
Why do you specify trillions of objects? They practically promise data loss at that scale.

Also, the typical civilization-ending comet or asteroid is going to destroy 0 or 1 geographically-diverse data centers. Remember that this is a retention promise, not an uptime promise.
Sure! As router as well, simultaneously. I access via ssh, having repositories inside, doing pulls, builds, etc. Is just like any other machine (in that router you can run at least Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD). Network performance is great. I use two ports for two internal networks (through a gigabit switch in one port, and the second usually used only for specific experiments), and the third one for the WAN access.

Hardware is fast: two 500MHz MIPS64 CPUs with 512MB of RAM (Cavium CN5020, 128KB L2 cache, 64-bit memory transfers are faster than twice as fast as 32-bit ones), each of one doing 2 instructions per cycle (4 instruction per cycle, counting both CPUs). The only notable downside is not having hardware floating point support (software doing extensive floating point usage will run slow).

The device has hardware packet and cryptographic acceleration. In the Linux case is able to fill gigabit links (manufacturer claims 1 million packet per second -I haven't pushed it that far-), and also some features are available on FreeBSD (e.g. hardware crypto, but not packet acceleration, if I recall correctly), and few/none (?) on OpenBSD (uses only one half of the RAM and just one CPU).
All right, let me put it this way: There may be a profound philosophical question about identity. However, because of the problems of the differing, unstated definitions of "same", almost all of the discussion is really about the assumed definitions of words, and is therefore almost completely a waste of time. It appears to be about the profound philosophical question, but it's mostly not.

a meal is slightly cheaper than Chipotle, which may appeal to cash-strapped people who work in the area (in fact

Little known fact: You can get a great meal for under $6 at Chipotle. You just have to know how to order. I often wish I knew how to make money off information of this sort. Alas, that escapes me. :-/
Part of the appeal is to see how the mind at work.

Another is a dose of inspiration to get myself moving.
Fries are a side, and you can also get sides at Eatsa (300 calories for chips and guac). And if you don't find a big mac filling, you're probably not going to find 500 calories of quinoa and veggies filling either.
I can just see it... Twitch, but for coding. Bring on a tech celebrity for some color, and have a regular commentator and just mock the programmer for their "poor java style".
Another thing to note, Elastic Beanstalk auto scales whereas you have to increase/decrease dynos yourself.

In other words, you may be paying for "dyno hours" (wall-clock time) when you don't need to.
Adam Back Says the Bitcoin Fork Is a Coup
Yeah :( I am increasingly dismayed by food providers trying to sell me on the notion that, between two items of similar price, I should pick the one with fewer calories. This is a swindle: we are literally being told to pay more for less.
For what it's worth, I completely believe your story. Probably because I went through pretty much the exact thing. The only diff would be: I learnt "managing up" when I missed my first raise and so decided to play the game for fun and profit.

Anyway, sucks that middle management sucks and lives to only forward their existence.

Have a good one and thanks for the read. Hope it was cathartic for you.
...and Flux is a philosophy or recommendation, not an implementaton. There are various independent Flux implementations out there, but none that have been battle-tested at the enterprise level AFAIK. Plus, from recent rumblings, Facebook seems to be moving "beyond Flux".
I too am let down over their broken promises. After $30 Million in seed funding you'd think they'd get their act together.
Can't quite believe we're debating McDonalds terminology, but fries is both a side and part of a meal. That's why they have "Extra Value meals", which include fries and a drink. A sandwich is never advertised as a "meal".

Having never had an Eatsa bowl I can't be sure, but they certainly appear that they would be more filling than a burger - it isn't just calories that makes you feel full.
You can have the best of both worlds with Cloud66. (git-based deployment, but you pay a small fee - $19 first server, $9 additional) and it targets cloud provider of your choice, with instance sizes you choose. (no I'm not a Cloud66 employee, but happy with their service)
There are theories, not generally accepted in mainstream biology/anthropology.

One is that our ancestors lived in coastal areas, where seafood made it much "cheaper" (in the evolutionary sense) to obtain the kind of fatty acids needed for growing a bigger brain.

For biologists there's also:

c. Compensation is comparatively low and hours are comparatively long in most biological industries, including, as far as my friends in bio have told me: agriculture, biomedical engineering, and biotechnology.

At least, compensation is low and hours are long compared to other white-collar professions that require a lot of education and training. $40k-$60k per year for an agricultural biologist with an advanced degree (MSc or PhD+postdoc) is roughly what they get at my fiancee's workplace, and they usually work around 60 hours/week (my fiancee is unusual in managing to work only 50-55 most weeks).
Many reasons why the marketing is like this:
* The public is confused with low calorie vs healthy
* The public hasn't caught on to cheap sources of healthy calories (ie, healthy fats and whole grains) [1]
* The other types of healthy calories cost more
* This enables businesses to charge more for smaller portions!

Hilarious example: There are tons of fake healthy 'wheat' breads. Multigrain, Farmers, Rustic, Subway wheat. None of them are anywhere near whole grain. These fake-healthy foods have been tricking people for years.

I'm running a game server in node.js where the app's state is persistent so can't really so can't really spin up more dynos. The whole server lives in that particular instance.
Hello again, Nadya. It seems we are making a habit of disagreeing with each other. ;-)

Though I do entirely agree with the first sentence of your comment. It's the same reason why piracy isn't the dire issue the various media industries make it out to be. The vast majority of people who pirate content, were never going to pay for that content to begin with. So they're not actually losing those sales, because there was never a potential for a sale. I make no claims about this being moral behavior or otherwise, I'm just acknowledging that this is reality.

For the rest of your comment, however, I don't think the driveway analogy holds up. It may be your browser, but it is their content being served via their infrastructure. It costs them real money to create and host this content. Ignoring for a moment that some ads are obnoxious, do you genuinely believe that content creators should lose money for the "privilege" of having you consume their content? Because that seems rather silly to me.

The simple fact is that when you use an ad blocker, you are not just preventing a website from making money off obnoxious ads. You are actually costing the content creator money. Out of their own pocket. The same content creator whom you probably believe deserves money for providing you with that information or entertainment. How can you possibly reconcile these conflicting facts?

Pretending to be making a statement by boycotting all advertisement in an attempt to force the ad industry to change its ways, is no different from the extreme minority of pirates who insist that they are morally justified to never pay for anything, just because they don't like how the music industry operates. Regardless of whether any given industry conducts their business ethically, having a differing moral opinion does not automatically entitle you to everything for free. Or in the cast of ad blockers, entitling you to content at the quantifiable expense of its creator.
It's called "eating out of the wall".
I never understood the appeal until I started watching Handmade Hero(https://handmadehero.org/). I had always wanted to learn about C, but if you don't have an idea of your own, it can be difficult to put what you learn into practice. Casey Muratori did a great job of explaining why he was doing things certain ways and went even deeper to explain the underlying concepts.

I don't see very many live broadcasts on livecoding.tv at the moment, at least none that interest me, but I think I'll be checking back somewhat frequently to see if I find something worthwhile to me.

First, I don't think that Rails (and similar) will become obsolete in a few years. Personally, if it's a serious project, I would go with the stack you know the best.

Now, if you're willing to learn something new, I would recommend that you try Phoenix http://phoenixframework.org/. It similar to Rails in structure, and Elixir (built on top of Erlang VM) is also similar to Ruby (syntax-wise).

You're right, lines 104 & 140 in http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-ketamine-depression-t.... Considered the gpu thing but was reading mixed advice (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10814178/css-performance-...) and ran out of time.
You're the one talking about labeling. I think that's irrelevant. McDonalds will happily sell you a Big Mac by itself, and the question is whether at 560 calories that is more or less filling than a quinoa bowl. What's a "meal" and what's a side is a red herring. Someone who's going to order the side of fries isn't going to hold off on the chips and guacamole just because it's no sold as a "meal."
Yeah right.
Great reply.

At large companies like this there will always be politics you need to play to get ahead. It sucks but that's the way it is. The meritocratic ideal will remain an ideal unless you're in there on the ground floor.

Did you mean ASP.net MVC? MVC is great, and I'd recommend it if you want to go the Windows route, "legacy" ASP.net? Not so much. Razr puts the old rendering engine to shame, and MVC has received a lot more Microsoft and community love than ASP.net did.

But I'm pretty sure it was a typo anyway since you talk about MVC (in general) in the very next paragraph, so I assume you were listing off a lot of MVC frameworks including ASP.net MVC.
Presumably twitch works just fine for it. The software doesn't really care whether it's streaming IDE pixels or game pixels.
It should be noted that Livecoding.tv is (YC S15).

Also, the article states there are "legions of coders" flocking to the site but I can't find much evidence of that, if the Twitter account (http://twitter.com/livecodingtv) which tweets all live streams, is anything to go by.

At the least, if I wanted to livestream code, I would do it on YouTube where I can stream 1080p60fps. (I'm also sore about Livecoding.tv's "you must log in to watch videos" shennanigans when they first launched.)

I suspect we'll end up with a rather fragmented landscape of services. It will be potentially complicated for consumers to navigate. It's also probable that consumers will be able to cut their current video content bills but primarily if they're willing to give up access to content that consumers as a whole find valuable. (i.e. give up ESPN, not HGTV.)
There's an author I know who does "live writes", which are essentially the same as this but for drafts of prose (she does them via shared Google Docs). There's definitely an attraction to watching the story take shape word by word that goes above and beyond just reading the finished product. I can't quite articulate it fully, but as an example, watching her write in real time lets you see which parts are easy and which parts give her trouble, based on how fast she writes and how much she deletes and rewrites things. I could easily imagine the same holds for code. I'm sure I could learn more about both coding and about the coder from watching them write a piece of code than by just reading the finished code.

I presume this is an attempt at humor rather than just a snide comment, but as a humorless engineer I'll ignore that and respond sincerely. It's a well put together presentation based on adding graphics and text blurbs on top of screen shots. You can read through the whole thing using the right arrow key in well under 5 minutes, likely under 2.

I much preferred it to a video presentation, which even if viewed at 2x speed would have been much longer. And since it's based on showing screen shots, plain text isn't a good option. I have no particularly strong interest in dark patterns (and in fact have extreme distaste for them) but I found their mastery of the craft to be extraordinary, and the presentation to be well worth my time.
