> I'd still want a build server to ensure I hadn't managed to pollute my dev environment with and undeclared dependency before I pushed my code to production.

In my case, the production server is the build server. You can't have dev dependencies there, because you don't develop there.

> And I'd still want to run at least some integration tests, even for the simplest project.

Integration tests run on the dev or CI server, in my case.

> And I really REALLY don't want my internet facing servers to be able to reach into my internal network, which means a checkout simply isn't going to work anyway.

The code servers aren't in the internal network, in my case. They're already internet-facing, since I need to pull from them.

> Lastly I don't want my code on those servers either. You can set up .htaccess or equivalent to prevent access to .svn or .git (or dotfiles in general..) but those files really shouldn't have been there in the first place.

In my case, if my code isn't on the server, the server doesn't run. There's no need to set up .htaccess, since the HTTP server doesn't serve anything off the filesystem.

I understand to run Java 1.5, or better Java 1.6 but not 1.3 and 1.4 that's aweful. But I know that's a fact since I've used Apache Fop and they try to have a compatibility up to Java 1.3.
For me I've writing all my software with the latest Java, but I don't care which os (even RHEL 5/6 would work, if they could get java 8 to run)
Supporting everything down needs have so many more Lines of Code and is rareley harder to maintain / code. Especially Option Types and Java 9 + Java 10 brings your Java Code to a further level, I also don't get it why somebody would code a new project via J2EE if there are so many great servers like wildfly and netty.

All the fancy wifi stuff is part of the wifi chipset, which most router vendors tend not to have any hand in - especially for consumer stuff. (also, beamforming is a very misleading term). You can basically buy a card that does all this stuff 'off the shelf', and could even plug it into a laptop. Though, antenna placement may be something you'd need to do some research on.

It's evening in China right now, I assume everyone in the USA is still asleep. Why would parent not be in china, there are plenty of Chinese in China who speak English well enough, I work with them. Of course, the poster could be in Europe, but what does it matter?

Compare say china daily (an English version of xinhua mostly) to NYT, and you'll see a vast difference on bias and reporting standards, where NYT is vastly more professional than the shill Chinese press. So taken like that, why would parent think NYT was lying unless they had something else to compare it to; i.e. the CPC's word that the economy is fine and nothing is wrong?

There are plenty of problems in the Chinese economy...why not report them?

I'd recommend Irving Kirsch's __Emperor's new drugs: Exploring the antidepressant myth__ as an accessible introduction to this topic.

The book goes beyond statistics and draws attention to "clinical significance" that is crucial to keep in mind when evaluating drugs. Statistical significance helps to inform whether a metric has changed; clinical significance tells whether it actually mattered from a patient's perspective.

> It's an artifact of neurology

The fact that something is an artifact of something else doesn't mean that it can be meaningfully reduced to it (or even tractably reduced to it at all). Suppose we discovered the most basic of physical laws, and suppose that somehow computational power made a simulation of them tractable. Is our ability to simulate the universe the same as understanding every aspect of it?

On a more basic level, running software is an artifact of hardware (yet the software can simulate a computer with different semantics than the computer it's running on). So is the study of hardware the only relevant knowledge of the running software? And if you say that the software exists independently of the hardware, you'll find yourself with an idealist philosophy that, according to you, is at odds with your materialistic view.

When automated cars become a consumer good I would certainly agree with the more stringent approach but I think light regulation is fine until that happens and also that Google et al will be pushing for that when the time comes. The thing that makes the FAA such a model of effectiveness compared to other regulatory bodies is that it's interests are aligned with the industry as a whole. When a plane (or driverless car) crashes everybody in the industry suffers a loss of business. Everybody would like to slack off a bit on safety themselves while their competitors are held to the highest standards, of course, but they'd mostly all rather have high standards as a general rule so the regulatory capture that occurs makes the FAA more focused on safety. All because consumers have alternatives to flying and are intrinsically more scared of flying than of other means of transportation.

And it will be the same with automated cars. People are intrinsically predisposed to not trust automated cars and people will still be perfectly capable of driving cars themselves. In order for automated cars to take off it's important that you don't have Bob's Drive By Night autocars crashing and killing lots of people and the Google's and Ubers of the world know that.
Most big corps are exactly like that though: they don't really invest in their people beyond the paycheck, they sort of go with the flow until something traumatic happens and they need to cut people. What is even worse is that the high performers get tired of the flow and will simply leave, leaving behind what is more likely to be dead weight. Much of the performance management regimes that come from HR are to avoid these problems, but it really takes good people managers with continuous clear goals from above...and good luck with that!

Frankly, it's amazing that the system works at all.
Again, this doesn't change anything on that front. You just don't define the declaration hiding macros in the files that do the init.

The fact that US media outlets are not concerned about the well-being of the average Venezuelan does not mean that the rampant crime, sky-high murder rate, shortages, inflation, lack of disaster prevention in poor areas prone to flooding, government-promoted homophobia, government control of the media, gross environmental mismanagement, use of state funds to promote the ruling party, pervasive corruption, lack of medicines and medical supplies, etc. don't exist.

Really wasn't sure if you were talking about Venezuela or the U.S. for a moment there.
This guy keeps being an autistic immature child. https://twitter.com/notch/status/637567218222563332

Good luck Notch! If you want to get yr normal life back, then just donate all to charity (Watsi?)... Choice is yours. :)

Mhmmm no.
If you have a machine that is manually operated and kills 1/1000 people due to operator errors, and a machine that is fully automatic but kills 1/10000 people due to software errors or "weird edge cases", it's still the second machine that will never be allowed on the market, because even one instance of it killing anyone will cause it to be fully recalled - doesn't matter that statistically it kills less people than a manually operated one. For automatic machines that number is 0, and automatic cars are unlikely to achieve that.

There's not - see docs for parse transforms. Erlang is homoiconic in the sense that it's parse tree is its own valid data-structure literal. This is also true for Elixir. The difference is the `quote` and `unquote` macros and a simpler parse tree format in Elixir, which makes meta-programming much easier than in Erlang from what I understand.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse

"The resource curse, also known as the paradox of plenty, refers to the paradox that countries and regions with an abundance of natural resources, specifically point-source non-renewable resources like minerals and fuels, tend to have less economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. This is hypothesized to happen for many different reasons, including a decline in the competitiveness of other economic sectors (caused by appreciation of the real exchange rate as resource revenues enter an economy, a phenomenon known as Dutch disease), volatility of revenues from the natural resource sector due to exposure to global commodity market swings, government mismanagement of resources, or weak, ineffectual, unstable or corrupt institutions (possibly due to the easily diverted actual or anticipated revenue stream from extractive activities). The resource curse may not be universal for all countries with an abundance of natural resources, but "for many countries it is real."

I am in similar situation to OP - I need a larger car during the weekends because I drive 200 miles away for certain events where I need to take loads of stuff with me. But during the week it's mostly me alone in the car driving to work.

I could rent a truck during weekends - but that would be ungodly expensive, especially since I'm under 25 so every rental company charges literally 2x or 3x for car/van rental to drivers under 25. Then I have to worry about returning it on time, and it has to be in perfect condition or again, I have to pay for anything that's damaged. If I scratch my own car - no biggie. If I want to stay overnight - it won't cost me another $100 per day of rental. And then the question is - is it really "better" for the environment/society/traffic to make two cars rather than one?
What sucks more is interference ;)

Much of the radio spectrum is shared. As an overly-simplified explanation, that means only one transmitter may be in operation at a time, or the frequency in question in that area will be useless.

Spectrum is also segmented and some segments require a license to use. The FCC (and all the other foreign national bodies that regulate radio) do so for the good of everyone. If they did not, we could not turn our lights on and use a cell phone or watch TV at the same time ;)

Also, the rules have been around for a long time. This is an old problem.

He's not doing a brilliantly good job of spending his money maturely so far. Unless spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in night clubs counts as mature.

My lab has been asked to do JOVE videos in the past, and there's not really a great incentive for labs to do them. JOVE essentially shuts down your lab for two weeks, you have to pay for the entire process (20K was the estimate we got), and then basically no one cites you.

Autism has nothing to do with it. That tweet shows emotional stress. Of course he's lashing out, he ended up selling his life's work.

Everyone gets angry now and again. Maybe not everyone has millions of listeners, but that's an aside.

He may need psychological help, but he's not autistic. And if you want to be taken seriously, I'd advise you not to use "autistic" in the same breath as "immature child".
I don't think negativity and an attitude of superiority is universal after getting a big exit. I have know a few people who have done very well for themselves, and while they do develop caution when discussing money or business, in general they have had improved outlooks on life, and become friendlier people, spending more time following their personal interests and passions.

So for Notch, I hope this is just a cherry picked selection of tweets to make a point, because if that is how he is truly feeling most of the time, he needs therapy.... or maybe just a hobby.
Recommending psychological help isn't a constructive way to respond to someone who's upset. We all feel various emotions and most of us say harsh things sometimes. Just because he's famous doesn't mean he has to have a publicist screen what he tweets.
Good questions all together. But if I were to make one technical nitpick...

> Is there more security added by enabling UEFI, or keeping it disabled?

You're not really disabling the UEFI firmware at a technical level. You're just telling the UEFI firmware to load a UEFI BIOS compatibility shim, which then proceeds to load a unverified bootloader instead.

How much security do you expect to gain from that? I don't think there's any evidence this will help make your machine more secure against software based attack Of course there are no absolute answers, or otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Yeah, this is kind of depressing. He had struck me as such a down-to-earth guy, before. There was a good few years when he was still living in the same house and working his old dev job part-time, because he wanted to keep in touch with things instead of just being a zillionaire.

Apparently the appeal faded, and now he's decided, hey, why not act like a zillionaire? And he's discovered that it makes him miserable, but it hasn't yet occurred to him that he doesn't have to act like a zillionaire.

You're certainly doing good by judging someone without context off his twitter postings.

Although on the surface this sounds plausible and I definitely think it explains why some companies have poor working conditions or psychopathic bosses. I don't think it necessarily explains why some have good. At least not in the context that pg is talking about.

Many startups don't have any margins at all. They might have growth but they are fundamentally unprofitable.

Instead I believe it's more to do with the fact that they are funded and don't have to worry about margins to begin with. (They might have to worry about growth though)

Sure, knowledge is true justified belief (we can add that it must be able to be transmitted). This separate enterprise is certainly true, insofar as it is a qualitative experience of somebody, it is justified and it is also a belief. He transmits it through his writing.

Your argument is presupposes your conclusion that this kind of thinking is not knowledge. That said, even if it is isn't knowledge, so what? Does not mean it is not valuable. With questioning the primacy of reason we can also question the primacy of conventional modes of knowledge.
