Aw. That's a precious little book. Good coverage of some of the hard issues, such as receiver filters and delay lines for non-trivial radar waveforms.

Some of the big topics are skipped. The energy of a radar return decreases as the fourth power of the range, which is why you put megawatts out and get microwatts back. There's not much on electronics - nothing about how such big pulses are generated, or the clever trick which allows transmitters and receivers to share an antenna without blowing out the receiver. As is common in USSR publications of the period, examples are from US systems, so as to avoid security problems. Phased array radars are discussed, but not much is said about how the work. That was a touchy subject back in 1974; all the big players had phased array radars, but the technology was classified.

(That led to a suppressed invention - Airadar. In 1973, Rufus Applegarth, who'd had a long career developing avionics, developed a low-cost phased-array radar with a conformal antenna (not a dish, part of the leading edge of the wing) and electronic scanning (no moving antenna) and mounted it on a single-engine plane. It worked great, and Flying Magazine had a chance to see it work in flight.[1] The USAF was upset; it was much lighter and smaller than what they had at the time. Airadar was quietly suppressed, and it was years before radars like that appeared on the commercial market.)

Sweet obsession: China’s manuka madness
As a sysadmin in a prior life, I see this as the equivalent of a non-developer (for instance, a sysadmin) asking can I create a site scraper using google, curl/sed/awk/..bash, copy/paste and a little bit of of brain between my ears ? Yes. As a developer you know there is a lot my subtlety to programming than that.

I think what @scurvy was driving at is there is a lot more subtlety to network ops than developers would be willing to acknowledge.
I'm loath to get into this discussion, but i'm actually very much in the Dutch camp on this one. Here in France cars and bicycles are considered 'equals' as far as road rules go, and it's a nightmare. 1000kg of death metal (no reference to the band) versus about 15kg and an exposed human are no match. I've learned to cycle really defensively here, since motorists just don't treat you with the proper respect. Mind, by 'proper respect' i don't mean that cyclists should be treated like holy cows, but simply that people should all be conscious of the hierarchy of vulnerability. If a cyclist crashes into a pedestrian (even if the pedestrian did stray into the bicycle path) i find it reasonable that the cyclist, being the heavier faster object, should pay more attention. Likewise for the car. It's a disgrace that cyclists end up having to pay for car repairs when in many cases there would've been no accident if the car had been driving respectfully [0] — even if the infrastructure (that is, in France a "bicycle path" is simply an already narrow 50km/h car lane with a bicycle icon painted on post facto) doesn't encourage it.

0. This happened to me. It taught me to drive extremely defensively. You will not believe the number of times i have had (for example) a green traffic light, and have had to stop for oncoming traffic turning left in front of me. I have right of way, but 1000kg of steel trumps right of way Every Time. If i sound a little ranty, it's because i'm rather bitter about the state of affairs here.
Literally every time they read their textbook, it was under time constraints, given there is only a finite amount of time. Being slower than everyone else at any component of school will hurt your performance.
It seems that the US likes to do everything in a more decentralized way though.

After the flooding near New York a few years back Dutch consultants were brought in to see what could be improved, one of the hard things was that in the US they had to work with small local governments everywhere whereas in the Netherlands flood prevention is mostly a national issue solved by national infrastructure projects.
I work 4 days/week writing open source software for the French government (http://france-universite-numerique-mooc.fr/ http://github.com/openfun/). Last week I was in Barcelona; today I'm in Bordeaux. All 4 members of the development team work remotely.

Keep faith! It took me ~5 years to find the right position and a boss willing to accept remote, part-time work. Such positions exist, but you need to search hard.

See, the problem with that is the friction it causes in a HPC environment. Usually, users have no access to a package manager - so everything you want in addition to what's provided by administrators is something you have to build from source, in your home folder, including all the dependencies. And getting administrators to install new software on such a cluster can be difficult in itself. Adoption of new programming languages and libraries is slow in this space mostly for that reason I think, and if you want to have a successful framework, you need to provide it with basically no dependencies attached apart from what you typically find on these systems. Don't forget, the users typically aren't computer/software engineers, they are scientists in my case. I.e. stubborn people who don't particularly care for software if it doesn't directly help in what they're doing ;).

The book is one of my biggest trauma from my childhood. My mother was studying psychology and it was one of the books that most changed his view on the topic, and I was interested.

* But from the people I actually know, including myself, almost everyone who was trying something new for the first time would first check what a normal dosage was and then take like 1/4th, or less depending on what type of drug, of that first just to see what to expect.*

My younger self wouldn't recognise that kind of behaviour. The first time I took ecstasy, I ended up taking five pills over the night.

That seems like bizarre, reckless behaviour to me now, but trying telling that to my younger self. He was bizarre and reckless.
I always like the band analogy: The guitarists / developers always think they can play the bass guitar, because it's basically the same, just with less strings.

Yet, they don't get that it's all about groove, rhythm and dependability and are just way too unrelaxed and attention seeking for doing it right.

I'll take a grumpy BOFH that wires together my AWS regions in his sleep and doesn't make costly mistakes - because he measures twice and cuts once - over some kid trying DevOps any day :)

Not sure about the DevOps, you are talking like if operations guy would start doing some dev stuff.

But our company goes the other way, they make Devs do Ops stuff and QA stuff (and bussiness analytic stuff also). I really hate this.
I believe that chef is really over engineered in many ways. They were thinking big... too big.

For example things like document indexer which is used in 99.99% of cases to search for "some.attribute == 'hardcoded value'". Most of the other cases are prefix searches. This can be done in a normal database. Document storage where what chef really needs is ~5 extracted fields and a json blob that only client deals with. (Again - database is better) Message queue to the indexer which only exists to get broken and be a limiting factor. (extracting even 100 fields from json is not a huge work - just insert them as database rows and prevent the indexing delay) They go after new technologies, where a very conservative stack would be more than enough.

The server API is public, so I started working on a replacement using only python/flask/postgres. I got maybe 80% implemented (ignoring the enterprise namespaces). Then got discouraged because I discovered some API flaws which I thought were just too big - for example the API call to update and create a new node is exactly the same, which can make terrible mess by accident. (seen in real deployment) In the end I just started using salt which I think is a better solution overall.

If you use chef and would like to continue, I'm happy to send you the repo. (email in my profile) If you don't - I can only recommend migrating to something better (salt, ansible, etc. - your choice).

There is really a lot of politics in that, not just economics. For example there was a decision to wind down all nuclear power plants, and coal was used for a while to compensate for that. Meanwhile, the parties in power changed and nuclear power pants are not being closed down as quickly as planned anymore.

There are vast differences in caloric requirements between individuals.

Between a 2m tall man and a 150cm tall lady, yes. Between any two persons of same gender, similar height and mass, not that vast.

One study[1] noted that one standard deviation of variance for resting metabolic rate (how many calories are burnt by living) was 5-8%; meaning 1 standard deviation of the population (68%) was within 6-8% of the average metabolic rate. Extending this, 2 standard deviations of the population (96%) was within 10-16% of the population average.

Great job with the quotes in your promo video! :)
Perhaps my comment wasn't clear. I'm against making developers perform operations and QA tasks too. It's the author putting devops and full-stack engineers in the same basket that I question.

That said, developer/unit testing is one aspect of QA you just can't offload to a separate team.
It's clear that you have your own concept of a p-value, which is quite different from the one used by all the other people (including the proper interpretation and the usual misinterpretations).

You disagree with all the provided examples, but you have not given any concrete example of how the p-value would be used in a "well-formed experiment" (another concept that seems unique to you).

Of course you're free to redefine concepts as you please, if it makes you happy or it is useful to you in any other way.

I remember once haranguing a group of Java developers to use the log4j's RollingFileAppender. No matter what arguments I used and despite many nods and promises, on live systems they just kept on using the default FileAppender like there's no tomorrow, despite it being a relatively trivial config change to switch to the RollingFileAppender.

Only the sysadmins "got it" because they were the ones that got to feel the pain of cleaning up a NAS filled up by log files.
This thread is about Win 7 and 8. The first two articles you link to are about Windows 10.

The stack exchange link you mention looks isolated to that user's CPU issue. So isolated, he answers his own question. Comments under the answer from someone else suggests that opting out of CEI solved the issue for that user.

So, as already mentioned, opting out of CEI is all it takes to not worry about MS spying on Win7/8 users. Windows 10 might have issues, but that's another matter.

I might be irrational but these "someone on the internet is wrong" style articles are terribly unengaging.
Owning homes, educating one's children, and stashing ill-gotten money overseas is de rigueur for hypocritical PRC chieftains.

Takes up too much (vertical) space.
Not exactly. I want to be able to see step by step what I'm calculating. When you're learning programming, you write a very small block of code, (e.g. getting inputs, printing a welcome screen) and then build it from there. With math assignments you have to solve the problem entirely and then check the results.
Wouldn't it be better if we could graph every step of our solution, write small loops to test out different values and observe their effect?
The math questions I encountered at school were based on tedious and often mysterious manipulations of numbers.
Even though I memorized every formula I would still fail. With computer programming you don't have to trust anything. If say you want to learn about pointers, you write some code, get a segmentation fault. You learn from your mistake instantly.
If you still don't get it, you read code examples, modify them and see the results instantly.
That's what I mean when I say math seriously needs a REPL.
In english classes teachers take pupils to the computer lab and give them online exercises. The pupil can fill in the blanks press a button and check his/her answers instantly. Why don't we do this with math?
Computers give the pupil the chance to try out different things. If you get stuck, you can always ask it to your teacher.
It's both. Certainly there are those who legitimately suffer from the condition, as you put it, but there a greater amount of young boys who are misdiagnosed by teachers with no legitimate experience over the ability to diagnose besides: "he's a distraction to my classroom".

This characterizes Zimbardos more recent work on "The Demise of Guys" where you can learn an overview about it here[0]

The great issue is the vast amount of boys being misattribute with the condition, from predominately female teachers.

I was one of those boys, but I was one of the few lucky ones who's father is a doctor and never had me prescribed medicine I didn't need. I ended up excelling in upper school.

This is exactly my feelings 100%. Teachers made me out to be dumb or mentally defective to my mother but my mother saw something different at home, where my attention was free. My mum recounted a story of me at 3 years watching my father and grandfather empty out a flooded garage trench (not sure of the name). Supposedly, I gave a suggestion that blew everyone away because it made the job 100x easier.

A bit different to the teacher making fun of me to the whole class by sitting in a chair, pretending to be catatonic several years later because I didn't have the answer for her rapid fire 9 times table (I was daydreaming and as is common my mouth was slightly ajar).

Not to say there wasn't problems; my mum used to send me up to get her a brush or some small thing and I'd forget once I'd get upstairs. After more than a few bollockings, I learned to ask where it was in the hopes it'd jog my memory. I was accused of not listening and I couldn't explain that it wasn't my fault!

I could however spend hours on Sonic 2 without taking a break. I was also infatuated with science and spent hours coming up with inventions that, to my dismay, already existed. I remember reinventing the fire sprinkler. It was more like a fire water balloon but the principle was similar.

These little memories, which form just a tiny grain of the daily struggle for the past 23 years, are almost funny. A joke, however, isn't so funny everyday, many multiple times a day.

When you discuss one small nugget, people say "ohhhh everyone was like that" and, due to lack of focus, you are unable to defend against their dismissal.

After 23 years, all day everyday, and the pain, hospitalisation and searching, dismissal by the ignorant is almost insulting.
Out of interest, why wouldn't you configure logrotate on the machine itself, rather than making this an application concern?

Presumably logrotate was already set up for the variety of other logs on the system?
Well, this article is from 2011. More so then than now, I believe.
Hm, this works for me. Maybe try with `-f best`? Here's a minimal working example (just figured out it doesn't even need the header buffering hack I was using so far):

$ mkfifo FIFO
$ youtube-dl -f best -o - 6h9vr_xwTj4 > FIFO &
$ vlc - < FIFO

And VLC plays the video just fine. youtube-dl downloads it from YouTube as the bytes are read() by VLC, so the D/L speed is around 25KiB/s.

Though I assume you can also stream this at full speed by doing a `mktemp` and dumping the data into the file. In my experience, VLC handles files which are still being appended data just fine, but it'll freak out if it reaches EOF before the end of the stream. If your /tmp is tmpfs, which it is everywhere AFAIK, the only difference is that the video is being downloaded in full speed. Alternatively, if your downlink is fast (for instance, 4MiB/s) and you don't mind the slight delay, you can as well download the file wholly as mentioned in one of the ancestor comments.
Did they own the systems their applications were deployed to? Because that is the essence of full stack development. Otherwise, config management is required as boundary context between developers and operations.
Having recently tried to do this & similar in a "DevOps" capacity, before handing the task over to a network engineer, I have to concurr here.

However, the problem seemed to stem from cryptic tooling and almost non-existant documentation (especially on OSS tools).
Craven was certainly a giant in horror, but Scream was an amazing script and Kevin Williamson doesn't get the kudos he deserves in reimagining that genre with that script.
I was curious too, though it seems log4j just keeps writing to the old log (it doesn't re-open the file on SIGHUP), and copytruncate is not completely safe from data loss.
>No what I'm describing is a way of understanding why entangled states aren't spooky.

I think that if the explanation doesn't also convey the spookiness, it's not right.

>The actual mechanism by which this occurs is only "spooky" if you try and interpret it classically. But if you just accept that "hey, it's quantum mechanics" then it's very easy to understand.

That's just pushing the spookiness under the carpet.
