>>That's the main thing to me. Why waste people's time on known dead ends when you can fail on things that matter, together?

People learn differently from experience than they do from being told something.

>>It seems self-centered to think that the best way to learn is to make the same mistakes that you did yourself.

That's the thing though: people rarely make the same mistakes as you did. They tend to make different mistakes, and fail differently, with different results and consequences. By serving the solution to them on a silver platter, you're robbing them of very valuable learning opportunities.

A mentor's job is to use their experience to guide the employee and help them figure out how to avoid mistakes. And if they do make a mistake, then the mentor is there to help them recover. The recovery is followed by by what I call "lesson time", which is a judgment-free session where we discuss why the incident or failure happened and come up with actionable steps to prevent it from happening again.

If you find yourself in situations where you absolutely have to tell someone how to do something because failure would be fatal, at that point you should do that thing yourself, and have the employee watch you do it and take notes. That's another type of mentorship that a lot of people are not comfortable with, but it can be extremely valuable.
So it is illegal. So basically I am not free to block hot spots in my own area if I use it for public access, which essentially amounts to "Even if you own an area, whenever it is publicly accessible, you do not own its 'air'". I find it a bit too restrictive.

I'm sorry but you jumped into the middle of a conversation and completely changed the subject so you could argue something that's been explicitly removed from the discussion. The argument was about "is this cheaper than whatever else". The response was "no but it will be in 20 years". That's the discussion. Yes morality and the environment come into play, but that's not what we're talking about.

You walked into a conversation about the impact The Beatles had on music recording technology and said "yeah but John Lennon was horrible to his wife". True, and it's an important point to make. Just not in this conversation.

"Moving quickly, she found she could cut the round-trip hike to about an hour. The only problem was when it rained, which happened several times. In those cases, she’d pass an umbrella up to Adam. He’d stay mostly dry, but Kurnia would be fairly wet by the time they arrived."

Wait, so none of her batchmates noticed this and offered her a ride for subsequent trips?
If you are serious, you could research how on-site daycare was handled during WWII to entice women into the work force and help them succeed. It has been done before, and very successfully, but only long enough to win WWII and then send women back home in droves to be full time moms -- which they mostly were happy to do, in part because prior to WWII everyone was suffering through The Great Depression and savings rates for a great many de facto 2 income, no kids families during the war was as high as 50%. People were happy to buy a house in the 'burbs and live the good life after suffering through the depression and then the war back to back. But lots of interesting things happened during WWII. As part of your research, you might start by watching historically based movies, such as A League of Their Own.
possibly, but most parents I know would clean up after their toddlers immediately in a bathroom that isn't in their own home. Maybe if the child is old enough to go by himself, but that didn't seem to be the case here.

if they get to choose the primary outcome after looking at some results, they could have been cherry-picking the outcome variables

Not just could, would. Choosing your hypothesis after you run the experiment is (or at least should be) a cardinal sin in science for good reason. At the standard p-value cutoff of .05, even when there's absolutely no effect going on the probability of getting a spurious positive result when you do n comparisons is equal to 1 - (.95^n).

So that 5% chance of a type I error if you only look at one test statistic jumps to 40% if you look at ten, and to 72% if you look at 25.

Not to mention all that is going on with TTIP now; essentially, trade officials are saying that working through GE crop related non-tariff barriers to trade is what the whole deal hinges on (ie. consumers are against it in EU and ag biz lobby is trying to ram it down their throats from over here. I would mention, as its a common misconception, that it's legal to sell GE crops in the EU, they just did so terribly that they've been pulled from shelves- Consumers exercised a preference and the market dictates).

This is cool because one of the most difficult things to do in these types of systems is represent context of a program at any given time: especially when most programs maintain their context using the stack (plus quite a few other abstractions depending on the programming methodology).

Using a spreadsheet as your "context" is one way to solve this problem.

I'd be more interested in something representative of a broader sample than just those who've "made it". The interview in the article advises "Bet on yourself instead of saving in retirement accounts", I wonder how that would change if she hadn't had a 7-figure exit?

OTOH maybe you just need to be so self-assured to the point of being delusional to succeed at this game. ;) But tautologically, not everyone can be "above average".

IIRC, Riak only did well with the CRDT data types. That result and the rather well done presentation by Peter Bourgon about CRDT and the time series database they built with it at SoundCloud made me look into more, and it seems a quite compelling concept. And obviously proven robust.
This is exactly why I found the Google branding a bit weird. The smart guys over there surely must know that a lot of us would be suspicious of this device. Why didn't they brand it under Nest, or a new Google subsidiary that would take the initial suspicion-edge off? I think it's a good router at a decent price, but no way I'm putting that inside my house!
What I don't understand is why Adobe hasn't made HTML5 a supported compilation target for the existing Flash tools. Yes, tons of work. But a great way to stay relevant in the web app development space.
Wow! In 25 trials 2 treatments were beneficial and 1 was detrimental. It would seem that the process of finding new treatments is horribly inefficient and perhaps just completely broken given that so few treatments were found to work.

I will suggest that what is true of your children in your home is not universal truth. My kids were holy terrors on multiple fronts who could not be trusted for 30 seconds. Pissing all over the bathroom and smearing poop around was not one of the things they did.

This type of data is subject to so many biases there is no way to make it useful (in fact I'd argue that it is actually worse than useless, it's misleading and incorrect). I'd love to be corrected on this, so if you have ideas for gathering this kind of data in a useful/non-biased way I'd love to hear it.
They do have the tech for terminator genes, and I think for corn too. Basically, the corn seed is edible but it can't grow. Despite people freaking out about them, none have been marketed and companies have pledged not to sell them. Though feel free to speculate if that's because of public pressure or not.
I understood your point, and I'm saying: after taking lots and lots of Uber rides, why wouldn't I have had one driver who was getting ready to leave the platform?

The only explanation I could come up with is that Uber does something to suppress those kinds of comments, and so I related why I thought that wasn't a satisfactory explanation.

I put FreeBSD on my Raspberry Pi B a few months back. (Similar images were previously published as well.)

I had to abandon the project, though, because there were very limited binary ports and base-system updates available. Compiling things on the Pi is a pain when possible at all. I did get a fairly decent cross-compile setup going, but in the end, it was more trouble than it was worth.
Because it's not secondary. They are equally important parts of running a business. Just because the business didn't succeed doesn't mean they are unimportant.

This is a by-product of DevOps, where basic system administration techniques have to be re-discovered by developers the hard way because we've all decided system admins are redundant, plus the rise of "The Cloud" where things like security or reliability are secondary concerns.

Sort of like how NoSQL databases decided to throw out 50 years of database theory because it was old, the new generation is discovering that there were actual reasons for things like firewalls and authentication.

> The smart guys over there surely must know that a lot of us would be suspicious of this device. Why didn't they brand it under Nest, or a new Google subsidiary that would take the initial suspicion-edge off?

Why? Most consumers aren't in the ultra-suspicious-because-it-says-Google camp, and most of those who are in that camp are likely to take using a different branding for a project from the same ultimate corporate parent as evidence that not only is the project trying to violate privacy, its also trying to be extra sneaky about it.
>Given the substantial drop-off in build quality that I've seen over the years since the first G routers until maybe _very_ recently, I'm not so sure about this statement.

This is just another reason for more competition from a company like google.

The only reason most people know their router exist is because they have to turn it off and on when their wifi gets slow or it dies. Its not a status symbol like an iphone for example.

>Also, why do we NEED to upgrade phones every 2 years?

Because everyone wants the new hotness. Can you imagine trying to use the first iphone in 2015?
I have heard these stories (and am wary), but I have yet to have a single INSTEON device fail on me so far. X-10 was completely unusable for me.
Yup - my first thought too.

I used to work there, and one eternal subject of lunch-table conversation was how interesting it would be to make consumer routers with the same ease of management... but how the consumer market is such a hellhole to work in because margins are so low and consumers are more sensitive to price than to management complexity in their purchasing decisions.

A good brand like Google's can get around that, though.
I really doubt there's any chemical forces. My brother is a stay-at-home dad and his daughter far prefers him to her mother.
Yes. If I drag an image onto Slack, everyone sees it. If I do that on an IRC channel, most of the channel members see only a URL string. Similarly: I can log IRC... if I set up a bot to do that. Slack comes out of the box with searchable logs.

It's not just having the raw capabilities in the system (and IRC makes some of those capabilities difficult; it's a very simple protocol). It's that it raises the lowest common denominator; everyone using Slack has all the things Slack offers.
TP-Link are hardly a manufacturer of "good enough" products. Their $100 Archer C7 router is the top recommendation on TheWirecutter for over a year.[0] Their $75 Archer C5 is also the top rated AC1200 router in every single category on SmallNetBuilder.[1] It beats out more expensive models from all the bigger name manufacturers.

Elm

Pros:

- All the Joys of functional programming .

- Once you satisfy the compiler you can be fairly sure that code will just work.

- FRP saves you from callback hell.

- Fairly easy Javascript Integration via Ports( also see con on this)

- Time traveling debugger ( see con about this)

- Active mailing list.

- Automatic package versioning which more or less works for the most part

- Pure render function ( popularized by ReactJS), makes writing/debugging UI's trivial and painless.

- "Concurrent" FRP

Cons:

- Javascript integration is very and tedious. You have to declare all your ports in main which breaks abstractions. There is "secret" way of integration via Native modules but this will break if compiler changes ( which does quite often ).

- Debugger/reactor won't work if you have ports, basically all non trivial apps.

- All the ui components have to be reimplemented since stuff like jqueryui/webcomponents don't work ( react suffers from this also)

- No support for isomorphic apps, its a client side only tech.

- Can't do code splitting. Compiler generates one big blob of js.

- Constantly changing terminology ( eg: mailbox)

- IDE's/code editors are on the same level as dynamic languages i.e no code completion, refactoring ect.

My point: you're a random stranger saying to another random stranger "trust me" without justifying your request to trust you. Why should I trust you?

Your reply: After I've convinced them that I know enough to fix the problem (by either demonstrating my expertise/qualifications/experience or getting someone else to vouch for me), they believe me.

Well duh! If you demonstrate why they should trust you, they'll trust you. They won't just randomly pay you money to fix shit if they don't trust you.
It’s a shame you didn't to talk to us too. There are a lot of benefits of using Meteor. First, it plans to be DB agnostic, so Postgres support will come in the next version, and many other DBs. So if that was the main reason, it's was a bit short sighted. Also, we have already submitted our Mobile apps to Google Play and Apple Store. Sure the first version is Hybrid, but they work really well, and the native version is on the making. We are also working with a team from the US army to implements the DoD Manual 5200.01V2 so they can use it at government agencies too. On scalability, we are pushing the limits with a deployment that has 40k users for the Federal University in Brazil. Hopefully GitLab will not commit to a single option so early, that would be premature at this point, and maybe we can work together to offer another chat option?

That's really sweet, I have never checked out elm before. I've been contemplating going to TypeScript as it has a good amount of es6 support now, I'll look more at elm though.

I fear something like this though will make it more difficult to hire and on board new people. I'm currently trying to hire 3 senior/very experienced JS developers and that's hard enough.
That is a fascinating, high-quality wikipedia page. I didn't know that sort of article existed, but it is a credit to the editors.
I'm going to make a guess and say that this is going to sell just because it's Google branded.

Reddit still borks during peak hour, after all this years. But not as often as it used to. There was a huge discussion about reddit not implementing better moderation/spamming/vote-rigging and site wide feature tools that has been promised for years. Basically reddit has been bit stagnant feature wise for some time now. Lot were promise with lotsa new hires but nothing much to show for it.

With spez being back, hopefully it will change. he doesnt have a habbit of bullshitting, unlike recent CEOs.

I had a rant to one of your other comments that I deleted as probably being non-productive, but this is the second comment of a similar vein that I've seen from you, so I'll actually reply this time.

Aphyr tests distributed systems to destruction. He seems to be really good at it. You've had an account here for nearly three years, and you write distributed software; it's fairly shocking to me that you're not familiar with his work. You should browse https://aphyr.com/tags/jepsen for a bit, to get a feel for what he does.

As an anecdotal aside, I tend to use aphyr's interactions with a development team as a bit of an indicator about the team's quality. A team that acknowledges the problems that he's finding and hurries to address them is probably a good one. A team that outright denies that the problems exist is a pretty poor one. Your responses to #513 (especially the nerd raging bit) aren't encouraging.
