I think publishers have good reasons to maintain the prices of printed books. It is just a mater of differentiating their product from the common kindle ebook sold on Amazon. In fact, my experience (as the experience of many others) as that the average self-published kindle ebook is a very low quality product. What is crazy is that Amazon wants publishers to price their product similarly to these low quality "books" just because they happen to share the same distribution model. I think this doesn't make any sense and it would be a race to the bottom for everyone involved.

Warn-as-error can be set for individual warnings as well as for every warning.

However if your build is spitting thousands of warnings and no one cares, that sounds like an issue someone should be looking at...
Always a tough choice. And only one you can make.

Here's my thoughts:

1) People/teammates make all the difference in the world. You love working with your current team; you've enjoyed working with the Other Company's (OC) IT Director before. But will you like the OC's team you'll be working with? Will you be seen by them as capable, or as a buddy being brought in to shove "architecture" down their throats?

2) Vacation. This is a negotiation. Tell them you have three weeks now (and have proof) and tell them you want the match. That shouldn't be too difficult, but I've actually seen companies balk and walk away over this (Even as far as telling senior people with X weeks vacation they'll be treated like entry-level and start with none for the first six months, etc). Sure sign of bureaucracy, and being tied to processes.

3) WFH. Kind of unclear. I'm assuming you can WFH pretty regularly now, and with OC you'll lose a lot of that. Again, negotiate. If most of OC team is in another city, what difference does it make if you're in the office, or at home on the corporate VPN--like they are.

4) Commute. WFH could make a lot of difference here too. But adding 15 minutes each way is 30 minutes a day, 2.5 hours a week, 10 hours a month, 120 a year. What could you do with that spare time if you didn't have the commute? Not to mention costs in gas, mileage on tires and car, etc.

5) Boredom. You're bored in your current job, which is never a good thing. But are you relevant? Meaning, are you doing useful things, listened to, etc? If you jump over to OC, will you still be relevant? Or will remote team ignore you and do their own things? Irrelevance and boredom are never good apart, and torture together.
It seems like people are either very enthusiastic or very disappointed by zeromq. What were your pain points, if I may ask?
I'm guessing the search space of SGD is more manageable and GP is too generic

How would you go about designing a GP to identify handwritten digits from, let's say, 32x32 px images? You would need operators operating on the images, then other operators reducing its dimensionality to an answer between 0 and 9

I'm a big fan of GP but it seems they're stuck into a niche for now
>How have you calculated the chances? Could you elaborate?

Just divide all billionaires or multi-millionaires you know by region and family background.

>I'll gladly do the work if you show me how YOU calculated it in the previous case.

I checked the top 100 richest people, and saw that people born in western countries are overrepresented -- especially US who is mere 4% of the global population but has almost all spots in the Top 20 (and further down).

Either those billions Asians and Africans are lazy sods, or external reality plays greater role that the "great determined unicorn" man...

And even in the US, those blacks, latinos, LBGT must be really lazy and incompetent, because they hardly make a dent in the top 100 most richer, despite the demographics (which show they are a huge percentage of the US population).
Given that they consider durable logging to be a key non-functional requirement, I'm not sure how ditching durability is a win.

Single ordered delivery is hard. Really hard. It's easier to allow multiple delivery and/or unordered delivery -- if your log entries are given various correlating UUIDs and signed, this makes the whole problem about fifty hojillion times easier.

Loggregator[1] and Doppler[2] use UUIDs to identify request, app and agent, which makes it easier to allow logs to arrive out of order from multiple sources and then be reassembled.

One thing that helps a lot is to separate metrics from logs. Logging frameworks get overloaded into metrics systems. Logs are useful if you are recording essentially unique events ("I started at ...", "there was a request for /foo at..."). They are wasteful of high QOS resources if you're looking at statistical data in which fine-grained event identity isn't relevant ("57Mb is used by this process", "this request took 100ms").

For metrics it is better to use lossy sampling and derive a statistical view of goings on, rather than trying to capture every single data point.

A log entry should be like a page in your personal diary on your birthday. A metric is a phone survey asking your age. If you don't answer the survey, the data is still useful even with standard error.

Edit: I forgot my usual disclaimer that I work for Pivotal Labs, a division of Pivotal, which is the leading contributor of engineering effort on Cloud Foundry.

Good to know, thanks. It's not a huge amount, but it looks like if you do fairly well on ebook vs. hardcover, and sell a decent number of books, it'll be a nice little bonus.
A couple of drinks could be harmful drinking, but it is nowhere near alcoholism.

To get a medically supervised withdrawal in England you need to be drinking 40 units a day - that's a litre of 40% spirits every day. (That number drops if you have severe and enduring mental illness, or are female).

Binge drinking - having most of the week alcohol free and ten having a bunch of drinks over a few days is associated with increased risk of sexual violence; unplanned pregnancy; STDs; accidental injury; etc, and the the alcohol harms on top. But uaving those drink free days is somewhat protective.

Drinking a couple of drinks everyday makes the alcohol harms much more likely, and reduces the other risks. (It depends how big those drinks are.)

Ah, young people. You can't equate students rating teachers to teachers grading students. Unless teachers are allowed to say things about students like: "She was a total bitch".

Everyone's just trying to get their nut.

I imagine they're stumbling thru this viable business model notion, just like everyone else.

Cut them some slack.

I frankly don't care about the price. Developers need to get paid. I hope they figure out something fair (reasonable) with modest profitability, so they can enjoy vacations and have hope of someday retiring.

If I ever stop renewing (or subscribing), I can just use the community version.

That's a great idea, because the number of Kafka nodes scales with the size of your data. Your Zookeeper nodes don't need to scale along with your data.
Not only that, but when you do mix languages in the same solution VS has a history if getting confused... I used to bring in VB.Net when I had to deal with a lot of XML after they added XML literal syntax (similar to E4X), but it was never added to C# (though LINQ was, go figure).

In any case, it gets really messy.
I'm sorry - both you and your brother have been expelled, and you think the fault is with the system and not how you're being raised?

GP has operators operating on a multidimensional input. GP builds simple programs, GP is good enough for the task, you could discover the same function that SGD discovers, but unfortunately in practice they are too slow, because they are blind to the landscape of the function.
Perhaps obvious/naive, but Amazon Kinesis is a great "no sysadmin required" Kafka clone that we've had a lot of success with.

Per Zookeeper, I'm sure it's better than each system trying to rebuild consensus on their own, but I am loathe to ever be responsible for running a cluster.

I'm surprised Amazon doesn't have Zookeeper-as-a-service, or perhaps even better, a Zookeeper-as-a-service facade that actually uses Dynamo behind the scenes.
Man, were you not so pissy over imaginary internet points I might engage and show where you might have misinterpreted. However, I get the impression that engagement isn't what you're looking for, just agreement or silence. Regardless, I wish you well with your recovery, or whatever you wish to call it.
Not sure why these people are spending so much money to develop their own hardware (40% of total cost) when this software (mail server, PGP) can be run on many cheap, off-the-shelf systems, like Raspberry Pi.
That's perhaps excessively terse, but there's probably quite a bit of that going on. EBooks remove the physical hints that differentiate between the latest doorstop from George R. R. Martin or Neal Stephenson and something that's 5 words over the novella/novel dividing line.

Just my 2 cents:
Despite comments like "wrong tool for..." this gives great elasticity when it comes to data manipulation, you can grep it, put in RDBMS, make csv/graph/one large flat file out of it, keep it in VCS etc.
Sure you can use one of billion apps to do that, but then what's the point of developing your own solution to anything, just buy/use someone else app.
Keeping your financial data in cloud for me seems like so-so idea.

Or $27, because this is all you really need for a loaner:

I've never done this (probably b/c it just feels weird to loan devices, while loaning books seems perfectly normal).

But you could be right, declining prices of gadgets and aggressive restrictions like DMCA, and in 20 years it might be the opposite, just far easier to trade devices rather than licenses.

"we will make sure that they can get access to health care, for the same reasons"
Who pays for this? And for how many can you pay? Most of these people are uneducated and are from tribal societies with a lower threshold for violence.

"we make sure our fellow unemployed citizens also get access."
I know many counter examples to this in Germany.

I always check kindle prices, and if they are close to physical price of the book I will more often then not simply not buy. Overall I still prefer to buy hardcover versions of books I really really want, but if I'm on the fence and see a kindle book that has at least a decent markdown I will more easily make that purchase then give away precious bookshelf space to a book I'm not sure is a must have. I've forgone quite a few purchases I would have been likely to make for that very reason.
These publishers are absolute idiots. Ebooks for 12 to 16 dollars just to support their outdated business model of the hardcover to paperback cycle.

I have a whishlist of over 1000 books on Amazon. I can just go through that list and wait with the newer ebook titles until they drop down in prices. This will be my "customer buying pattern" from now on.

Winners: 2 to 3 year old books and Amazon. Loosers: New books and the publishers.

10 amazing facts about Kepler-452b (Earth 2.0)
The sole purpose of the pi is not to write kernel log files. I'm sure if you want to build a piece of hardware / software kit that did nothing but write sequentially to a flash drive, that'd be blazingly fast.

But if you want log rolling, filtered output, serial output, non-flash file systems (nfs, etc) and a general purpose computing device where printk is the rarest of rare events (in the lifetime of a task) then you're going to lose some of your optimizations.
I'm not affiliated with the project, but from what I gather from the description, the reason is that they want to have completely open hardware.
The first animated film is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Apóstol , from 1917.
Similarly Springer ebooks have your name as a watermark at the bottom of the page, but no "real" DRM.

It's a pretty reasonable compromise.
Yes. It's sad how so many here romanticize being a dick in high school. No, not all teachers are saints but I have some sympathy for them too. If this guy created a revenge porn site or a gossip site where other students were being harassed, he wouldn't have had quite as nice a reception here.
> CWEB's approach of treating the tangled code as only intended for machine reading has the major drawback that you can't share the target source code with others and expect them to be able to read it; they need to buy into CWEB too.

There's not much of a trade off there. Either you use the tools that generated the code and edit their inputs, or the first time you update the code and rebuild your changes get clobbered.

And if people really find that literate programming makes the code that much harder to follow that they'd rather not use it, maybe it's not a great idea to use it.
Yeah, it just seems to me that wonderfully written literate documentation would be poorly organized software, and wonderfully organized software would be poorly organized documentation.

I guess what I mean by that is that as software scales out, your code will be more along the lines of "do this logic whenever this function/method happens to be invoked". So it would be great for documenting the workings of a function/method, but it would be poor for actually documenting the lifecycle of a logic path, like the lifecycle of a request. I certainly wouldn't have one file where I handle a request, do some business logic, and interact with a database, even though that is how you might document a lifecycle the request.
JavaScript Framework for building data-driven react applications
PDFs are about the worst thing out there if you're frustrated about documents with embedded Turing-complete languages.

And large bitmaps are rather bandwidth inefficient, and inaccessible to boot.

I don't mind markup. I mind tech that doesn't include fallbacks, and I mind people using Turing-complete languages for things that can easily be done using a less powerful language. (Turing-complete languages tend to get abused by people to the point that people want them to be executed quickly and with little memory use (which means that the language implementation gets complex, and hence buggy {simple laws of probability}), and almost any vulnerability can generally be exploited by a suitable script in a TC language, and TC-languages can be used to do unexpected things.)

HTML is decent. HTML+CSS is worse than HTML (for the same reason that COMEFROM is worse than GOTO). Markup is better than HTML in many ways, or rather most formal specifications of Markup-like languages are better than HTML. (Unfortunately, most variants of Markup aren't specified beyond "do what I do")

I've been tempted for a while to write a Markup browser. (Mop? Markup-Over-tcP? )
DeDRM Tools is a great software package which comes with a Calibre plugin that automatically removes the DRM of the ebooks you add (in addition to standalone DRM removing apps):

I am sure they do say such things in the teacher's lounge. The difference, of course, is that they are not doing it in public.
Tanks of the time where cramped and crews often had to be outside for other tasks, if you think about it it makes senses that casualties would be higher outside armoured vehicles since small arms fire would be effective, this wasn't just a British problem as the article implies.
Interestingly, one of the founders of AA thought that LSD could be a tremendous help for curing alcoholism:

Wilson hoped LSD would help those addicted to alcohol. He realized that A.A. simply did not work for every motivated alcoholic. According to Wilson, “It is a generally acknowledged fact in spiritual development that ego reduction makes the influx of God’s grace possible. If, therefore, under LSD we can have a temporary reduction, so that we can better see what we are and where we are going–well, that might be of some help.”

Potentially, although in that case it's still dsyslog's fault.
I didn't realize that parental controls could restrict purchasing, but it makes sense.

It's true that you can lend ebooks, there are just a lot more hoops to jump through ;) I can't lend my ebooks, because I don't have a spare device, but that can be changed if I want. If I'm going to pay just as much for the paper book, though, I might as well buy that and skip the extra device management.
Slow Ideas (2013)
Nevertheless, writing (essentially) append-only files is something that happens often enough that most filesystems should cope with reasonably well. And writing 20x slower than it could is nowhere near coping reasonably well.

(Also: note that you don't need to cope with nfs/etc. Flash is different enough from spinning rust that I have no problem with a filesystem being optimized for one or the other as opposed to both.)
I am currently using 2 displays connected to my graphics card and one connected to my igpu on my Linux desktop at home, and it's really not that hard to set up. Unfortunately the GPU does all the rendering and passes images to the iGPU, but I believe this is the case too with Windows. Also there are a few bugs when using this setup to do with monitor positioning.
Applied Science tried to reproduce this:

I do like that you can accept credit/debit card there from a domain name that's trusted. And if people pay by alternate means you can manually mark the invoice as paid and optionally add a discount.
I really don't think that's the case. Those are the ones that get paraded around, but there are plenty of collisions that are results of simple mistakes or invisible road hazards.
For next time, Windows has the DebugBreak function which will stop the program and (if you have a debugger attached) act the same way as stopping on that line.

On Linux, I've seen some people use asm("int 3") (which is what a debugger would use for software breakpoints).
I currently use (on a Mac) Intuit's "My Time" to track hours - what I like about it is that it'll publish my hours straight to Quickbooks without me having to do repetitive data entry. But I don't know if there are other solutions that also have that easy communication with Quickbooks (Quickbooks is a requirement for me). Since QB generates invoices, I don't need a separate tool for that.

I got expelled from several schools for the crime of knowing more about computers than the teachers, having an interest in computer security, and having a website. I was also used as a scapegoat by a network admin who couldn't fix his networking issues. After the first school, every other school assumed i was some kind of dangerous delinquent. It's part of what prompted me to drop out.
Agreed. There are often career counsellors that can help you negotiate rates, and if a professor really likes you, he or she may even help you find a job or other opportunity.

The bottom line is: don't be afraid to ask. They're all there to help you.
It seems like this could be solved by making it an option? During development, generate line number pragmas to improve the error messages. Then when you have a working program, format the code nicely.
"Customers are not stupid, they understand that e-books are a lot cheaper to produce/distribute than a physical book, and they should be priced accordingly."

If customers "understand" this, they mostly understand incorrectly. While it may make intuitive sense that printing and distributing a book should make up a lot of its cost, that's not actually true. I haven't looked at the details for a few years but this is something I wrote a while back on the topic: http://www.cnet.com/news/why-e-books-arent-cheaper/

(To summarize that post, printing plus the take of wholesalers who handle distribution is only about $5 for a hardcover.)
15000? Wow, This is like 3 times more expensive than the "let's forget all about your father killed by our drone by stoopid mistake and take this nice goat" happy tax.
Indian software industry has changed drastically in past 5 years. People are building good software products in India specially people just coming out of colleges. But the biggest problem that I have seen is that people generally don't get good beta testers who are interested in improving the product. And it's not just about beta testers, users of an enterprise saas are also limited.

In such a scenario there is a disconnect between the creator and users. Only if NotCrud can get both these communities together, I think it can gain much attention. And not just attention it will be able to create a credible platform, just like HN and not HackerStreet, which will be used by both Users and Creators. Because showing off is not enough. In the end you want to improve your product.

Btw notCrud is a very good initiative. I am glad you are taking it.
I absolutely hate that this comment is downvoted. This works, costs as much as a regular hard cover to setup -- $27, as someone pointed out. As the author pointed out - parental controls prevent any access or misuse. Hell, you can just not put your account on it, invite your friend to use his own amazon account and lend a book to him. Still, works just like a book. This fixes the only gotcha Kindle sharing has - you can only share with other Kindlers.

Just because it's not one's opinion, does not make a comment downvote-worthy.
Particularly because it's the future of the whole market. It's the same sort of stupidity currently gripping certain BBC managers: they have to make cuts, so they'll cut their digital services first. You want to survive, so you kill your future? It's just madness.
Last time I googled, I ended up with nothing. This time it works much better: google:"filetype:pdf MISRA-C" and hitting "I'm feeling lucky" takes me to somewhere where is a PDF.

I would not bet that I've committed a crime by searching the web for information (what the web is for), I think that where I live (northern part of EU) this is an OK thing to do.
