Yet support takes many forms, not only monetary, and not only from the audience (propaganda comes to mind...).

But I'm willing to moderate my statement to "no AAA blockbusters will be made" or "no really high budget movies will be made", or something like that. It will have an impact on the budget of movies. Some may argue that is a good thing, but I enjoy my Matrix, LoTR, Hobbit, Cloud Atlas, Marvels, etc. and don't really want that to go away.
Does he not know the average salaries of developers in your area? Any recruiter will corroborate that.

Or does he think you should hire developers from lower cost of living areas?

Or is he surprised that labor is a high percentage of total expenses? In that case, you need only explain why the other expenses are so cheap (hosting, etc. isn't expensive with a small customer base).

canteburry may also have a point, a lot of people don't hire at level. Or they hire hard core computer scientists when application developers would be better.
My sons kindergarten don't have nap times for practical reasons. It's a forrest kindergarten, so they spend all/most their time in the woods. I suppose they could bring a tent or sleeping bags, but it gets rather cold during winter.

That probably doesn't answer your question directly, but it may be for similar practical reasons this is happening elsewhere (if it is - I don't know).
I guess this isn't the intended message, but whenever I read an article like this I'm happy to be nowhere near SV. I can see myself waking up after ten years realizing how I wasted my life on pretending that crude forms of desktop publishing and business intelligence is somehow the bleeding edge of technology.

Similar in experience here. I bought an X201 a few years ago. I fed it an SSD when they made finincial sense and a new 9-cell battery once a year when the capacity drops to ~60%. I wear out a keyboard every 3 years or so which is a 5 minute job to replace. I can't see myself buying a new machine for at least 3-4 years.

Edit: to add context, my wife's 2013 MBP already needs a new battery but that's glued in and they want to charge me to replace it. It hangs off the charger all day with only short disconnects to move it around. And the space bar only works on one end.
I am not buffoon but I have used CQRS with event sourcing for a reasonably large system written and maintained by around 10 developers. Additionally I have used event sourcing without CQRS on two other systems.

I found the cognitive load to be less than with other service based architectures I have worked on. I could jump
into any area of the code base and because of the naming conventions for commands and events I could see what was going on - this has never been my experience with a service oriented architecture.

The main change in developer thinking that is necessary is that you don't record state you record state transitions. Once that is internalised development is easy, a new feature requires new commands and handlers, new events, new queries and an updates to aggregates.

I had absolutely no problem with cross cutting concerns - security for example was handled in command handlers where needed. Other system components of our system that didn't use CQRS - for example reporting, general ledger, third party integrations - received data from the event stream and injected commands back into the system. So in no way was our organisation infected by CQRS / ES.
Sounds like an expensive solution?
Sure, workstations didn't need 64-bit at that time. But servers did, and at that time Windows was still trying to prove its credibility as a server OS vs the incumbent Sun/HP/IBM/etc platforms. Another field where 64-bit was an even more urgent requirement was HPC. At the time HPC was more focused on big iron than PC clusters.

Here's a classic post from John Mashey outlining the rationale for 64-bit in the early 90s: http://yarchive.net/comp/64bit.html

Also remember how long and painful the 16-to-32 transition was on Microsoft's platforms. They had every reason to get their platform and running up many years before customers needed the 64-bit apps.

It's ironic that he even dares to state that piracy "negatively impacts audience experience".

If anything, it is the legal ways to watch movies that have traditionally had the inverior experience. Forcing me to watch commercials or be warned that copyright is a crime for minutes before the actual content.

Buying Apple products is great if you plan to fix them yourself - just look up the difficulty on iFixit and go for an easy-to-fix model. Vote with your wallet! My MacBook Air 13" is trivial to open and actually looks gorgeous from the inside.

No matter which iPhone you buy, YouTube is full of video guides and you can buy DIY repair kits on eBay for most tasks.

It's unfair, because big brands don't have to do anything for these benefits, but that's the way it is. Buying niche products makes DIY repairs a lot harder.
especially when it's a 'cooly rational fixer' who does such smart things as discussing murder over a portable phone, speeding to the site of a crime he needs to help cleanup, and leading the two idiot assassins involved in the crime to his dumping place for bodies and introducing them to the future owner of the site.

> If governments had the same failure rate as businesses we would be up in arms.

So governments should take less risks, and in particular incur even less debt.

> That is not a sign of 'extreme fiscal irresponsibility'.

I'm not talking about failure rates, I'm talking about utter failure to spend within means, or even recognize a boundary of means.

> You make it sound like political viewpoints should not be a consideration.

Not at all; rather, I was suggesting that citing one economist to support a political viewpoint doesn't make that viewpoint right, and in particular doesn't provide any evidence whatsoever about whether that viewpoint is ethically right.

> Since you appear to support special non-profit status for schools

I wasn't taking a stance on that here; rather, I was suggesting that it doesn't make sense to specifically call out private universities for consideration of revoking that status, without broader consideration of non-profits in general, simply to prop up public universities. More specifically, I was complaining about the entitled stance taken in the article.
Hardware may become harder and harder to fix. But what about software? If Apple can't be bothered to release security fixes for the iPhone 4, should they be forced to let us flash our own OS on these devices? I'd love to see this happen, but I don't know how realistic it is (unwieldy binary driver blobs come to mind).
That's really surprising, if it's true.

It's surprising that years of conditioning to perform worse at spatial reasoning can be mitigated by reading a couple of paragraphs, but that's all. People having an equal ability at a mental function regardless of their sex is not even remotely surprising.
They go together; Bootstrap 4 will have an option to use flexboxes to implement its grid system.

It's an option and not the default because there are a lot of browsers out there that don't support flexboxes yet; give it a few years and this will be a much more practical choice.
The idea is that people who care most about keeping it up will pin it, or pay to keep it pinned.

You guys are great! :-)
While IPFS can certainly complement HTTP (for example in preventing censorship in states such as China), it will not replace HTTP. Decentralization does not work with centralized services (99% of the web) such as Twitter, Google, etc. You'll need HTTP to run server code. I for one will not be hosting a node where arbitrary code can be run. Besides the obvious fact that a centralized service wants to control what serves from their backend, and the funny scenario where a 51% consensus can decide what Google's logo is.
There's an error regarding bowling.

Have a look at something like heuristic play.

You take a safe floor surface. Yu scatter a bunch of differnet really world objects. The aim is to have sensory stuff there so you use hair brushes, different fabrics, baskets with differnet weaves, pine cones, safe mirrors, bells, washed chip (uk crisp) packets (that crinkle and are shiny) etc etc.

You then place your crawling infant on the floor and then only monitor for safety.

So, there's some helicoptering (you want to make sure the child doesn't choke or poke their eye out) but apart from that it's not directive.

Crawling infants have a pattern of crawling where they explore their area in geadually increasing loops. They move away from the parent, explore a bit, and return, then move away and explore a bit more, then return. There's an old (1980s / 1990s) british tv show that had a timelapse of this.

Tiny kids are fascinating.
Yes it's definitely a YMMV. Your system may have been better suited to the architecture than ours.
Nope [1] - IE support only landed in IE10, and is only really usable in IE11 and Edge. In general, IE 8 and under is currently the cutoff for legacy browsers that no modern web technologies and polyfills will bother supporting anyway, and display:table is supported at least that far back [2].

There are a few co-working spaces around Makati in Metro Manila and a few in Cebu. These are probably also the only areas where you will be able to find decent internet connection speeds.

Also OT: I'm a student from Germany who studied in the Philippines for a while. I'm always interested to go back for a few months. If you have an office in PH and looking for motivated developers, don't hesitate to contact me.
Directive 95/46/EC (the Data Protection Directive) never specifically mentions "search engines", it talks about "controllers" of personal data. The ECJ ruled (Case C‑131/12) that search engines such as Google count as controllers of personal data, and thus are subject to the "right to be forgotten" under the Directive. But clearly the Directive is applicable to many other things than search engines, so the "right to be forgotten" cannot be restricted to search engines either. (Newspapers should be exempt because article 9 of the directive has an exemption for "the processing of personal data carried out solely for journalistic purposes or the purpose of artistic or literary expression", but search engines don't fall into that category, and other web sites may or may not either.)

The court judgement - http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document_print.jsf?doc... - paragraph 26 says "As regards in particular the internet, the Court has already had occasion to state that the operation of loading personal data on an internet page must be considered to be such ‘processing’ within the meaning of Article 2(b) of Directive 95/46" - so by the Court's reasoning the Directive potentially applies to any web page, not just search engines.
Even if you don't go the actor route, if you're going to use continuation passing style as much as Node wants you to, having a language with better CPS support would be much nicer
I second this, there's no right time and having children will be a pretty big shock to the system no matter how much you prepare yourself mentally or financially. I must say though if you could take day care out of the equation. Kids really don't cost that much in themselves unless you want to have the newest fanciest everything and designer clothes ha. If you want children don't put it off for the perfect time, there won't be one
I think a lot of what you are mentioning comes down to the implementation of CQRS / ES being used not fundamental flaws in the approach.

CQRS doesn't force you to build a distributed system. It doesn't make you use eventual consistency or asynchrony but provides them as options.

For example the system I worked on had synchronous command handling with a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous subscribers. This allowed us to use eventual consistency where it was appropriate and for all clients to be immediately aware of problems.
IIRC, TVs and similar devices store energy for certain components, so touching one of those can be lethal even if the device is unplugged.

I've often wondered if the feeling of acceleration/deceleration could easily be simulated with a simple tilting chair. Tilt the chair back to simulate forward acceleration (like a car speeding). Gravity pulls you 'backwards', similar to the feeling of being pressed back in the seat. Opposite for deceleration. I hereby donate this idea to the world.
thanks :) if you find any issue - let me know
Not a pro either, but I guess the risk, for an unplugged device, is about capacitor: they store current, and if you touch both ends of big one close to the alimentation, you are going to have a nasty shock.

I had first hand experience of that: I repaired a screen, plugged it in to check it, then unplugged it and realized I forgot to cut the ends of a capacitor. When I touched it with a metal tool (luckily, the tool was insolated), there was some serious spark, that I guessed where due to capacitor discharge. Had I used my hand, this would have gone through my skin instead.
Thanks for your comment!

> But yeah, also design patterns. And have you read http://highscalability.com/ for architecture ideas?

Lots. I would love to have clients in that league (I greatly enjoy scaling, optimization, performance tuning)
As far as I understand it, you must issue a "pin" command in order to relay or "host" contents. So if some contents is illegal, authorities can command you to "unpin" it. It's a better option than having to take down your whole node.
Internet culture doesn't foster that sort of attitude, unfortunately. Funny, I wrote some notes on this exact thing a couple of nights ago while I couldn't sleep but deleted them because they sucked.

Crowded forums, especially those with points systems like Reddit and HN, have become contests and the people that win those contests are usually the ones that can argue a position with the most veracity. Nobody is impressed by anyone that says, "hmm, well, that might be true too, maybe"; that person is perceived as naive or weak or ignorant or wishy-washy.

This isn't limited to internet culture either. Any politician that dares to change their mind on an issue is "waffling", it's a sign of a weak leader, not an introspective one.

And this is really, really hurting the way that debate happens, at least in the US. You generally can't have a civil, thoughtful, enlightening discussion about gun control, abortions, religion, climate change, race and gender issues, or any of a number of other hot-button political topics. People instead pick a position and cling to it with all their might, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. When one argument for their position stops working, rather than reconsider their position they just migrate to a new argument for the same position. (This is happening right now for instance with anti-vaccers, who have moved from "it's not safe" to "it impinges on my religious freedom".)

...

Y'know, I think the world has gotten too connected too quickly. I don't mean that this interconnectedness is altogether bad; it is amazing to me that we live in a time now where two people in politically opposed countries can get together with a minimal amount of effort over vast distances and talk to eachother. That's fantastic.

But I think it has also become overwhelming for a lot of people. We haven't had enough time to adapt. The relentless news cycle, the constant distractions from Twitter and social media feeds, the nonstop barrage of email and texting, the vast social timewasting (and often hostile) networks like Reddit, the unimaginable amount of information being pumped into a blogosphere that's expanding at rates resembling the earliest moments of the Big Bang ... I think most people are just completely overwhelmed by it, and coupled with this culture that reveres certainty and conviction over measured consideration, people have retreated to finding comfortable positions on every issue they care about and then clinging to them with all their might.

It would be nice if there was a way to turn the dial back just a notch or two, to have some kind of network where we could easily limit ourselves to connections with a much smaller number of people, the same people on a regular basis, where it can become comfortable again to say something like "I don't know" in a context where you don't feel like you're in a gladiatorial arena and will get downvoted by the spectators for it.
I remember looking round a local pre-school and being horrified that they had the kids all sat down quietly on the carpet while the 'teacher' stood up front holding up flash cards with shapes on them reading out the names.
Correct. It's still better than nothing I guess.
Sounds like the DHT lookups could be quite slow, 20 queries to find the content is going to be a lot of latency.
Sounds like a better algorithm than binary search (which I assume is used) is needed.
Having said that I think the immutable data / DHT stuff is a good idea in theory and I hope something like this takes off!
Some device use high power capacitors to temporarily store electrical energy and these can remain charged long after the plug is pulled.
Bears some resemblance to Maidsafe.
Really? I didn't go to school in the US. Do they really spend the whole lunch hour sitting around?

We went outside, ate our sandwiches or bought lunch from the canteen, and then played for the rest of the hour.

The whole "school lunch" thing in the US I find bizarre.

Agreed, these are things you can take away from playing minecraft... and we are on the same page, if we both think computer-games are an awesome way for explorative learning and creative development.

But still this doesn't change anything in the way our educational system works... Even if you see it as a new tool... i highly doubt you can build traditional courses around minecraft ( because some will love it and use it, while others will not see the potential and would just use it as another internet-surfing course. ) But as our educational systems fail more and more, bores us to death... motivation towards autodidactical styles of learning rise... and i think this is what we see in the sometimes incredible outcomes of minecraft games.

As it seems the empty canvas and creative outlet for people ( i admit i never played it and therefore can't fully understand the hype around it ).

You can take it into an Apple Store and they will replace the battery and recycle the old one. Cost varies by device but I suspect it'll cost $200 or so. Far less than replacing the device.

This isn't a conspiracy. If you want a thin (and light) device, you have to make compromises. A user replaceable battery on a MacBook will add a slight amount of thickness and weight (same with soldered vs in soldered components). I totally understand if you're not a fan of it, but in that case you probably ought to buy a ThinkPad instead.
That's really nice (although it is just playing back a video, is not an emulator).

If only the Nook had a powered USB port...

No physical and life scientists do not in the general case care about how "lisp nature" or "serial and imperative methods".

Often we will use loops because the mental effort of coding a vector solution can be higher

I don't have a problem with occupational therapists. Indeed, I went for occupational therapy myself, in the 1980's when it was far less common. I had genuine problems that needed addressing (when I was 5 I couldn't do buttons or zips and I couldn't use my hands to save myself when I fell down). This was about 30 years ago, and I was helped, and definitely not left to waste away in a corner.

South African occupational therapists are certainly skilled and qualified by world standards.

The problem arises when "no child left behind" becomes "every child has a problem", especially when there is a clear financial motive for overdiagnosis.

And, in my opinion, the idea that parents need "training to be better in their roles" from "professionally trained parents" is another step towards breeding neuroticism in parents.
