Interesting how we're potentially moving one step closer to how scifi envisioned as spacecraft interiors. For some unexplainable, and likely incorrect, reason this gives me hope that we are moving toward a space-faring civilization.

As for the scale of the compartments, extrapolate from the size of the chairs. It's pretty small.

Window functions are not a Postgres thing, but part of the SQL standard with (varying, of course) support across most of the major RDBMS's.

I've seen comments like this several times that seem to imply that Postgres is exceptional either due to having window functions, or like in this one where the tone sounds as if Postgres does them particularly better.

I'm curious, as I do almost 100% of my production work in MS SQL Server, where I am able to do everything that comes up when "Postgres window functions" are mentioned, whether there is extra functionality in Postgres compared to other RDBMS's window function implementations?

Is there a reason that Postgres seems to get special attention for window functions?

Thanks.
etcd focuses just on the key/value store with consensus to enable other systems. And there are a number of systems that are now built on top of etcd now. Here are a handful that I talked about in a recent talk at ContainerCon[1].

- locksmith: a scheduler for host reboots in a cluster. Designed to ensure a cluster can do OS upgrades unattended.

- skydns: a DNS server built on top of etcd.

- confd: a configuration file templating system designed to watch changes and rewrite configuration on disk.

- vulcand: a HTTP load balancer with rate limiting, and dynamic balancing algos.

- kubernetes: a system to manage clusters of containers which backs its service discovery, scheduling, and election with etcd.

One interesting thing is that kubernetes handles load balancing, DNS and configuration packaged together which many people enjoy using. While other people like to just have DNS or configuration so there are tools that focus on just that to tie together existing systems.

...or their workforce would merely have a lot more animators, musicians, producers, etc and would necessarily produce more content more regularly than simply sitting on a mountain of IP and merely re-marketing it every few years with lots of lawsuits and lobbying mixed in to "protect" said mountain of IP.

They would also be able to re-use and remix the content of others (e.g. competitors) more regularly and the public at large would be able to do the same. Resulting in more content for everyone to enjoy.
Now re-read your first paragraph in light of the second one.

Sometimes, it really is easier to just implement something your self than go through the "soul destroying process" of figuring out how to correctly set up and configure a library, framework, or piece of open source infrastructure.

Not an algorithm, but it can be a lot easier to write your own SQL, for example, than setting up and configuring Spring and Hibernate. (Talk about soul destroying. Yes, I am a Java developer, why do you ask?)
Saudi citizens would still be able to pick up their U.S. tourist visas at Saudi travel agencies.
U.S. citizens could easily open up bank accounts overseas.
Saddam Hussein would still be in power. No ISIS, no war in Afghanistan, no Arab Spring.
The war on drugs would still be going strong instead of being a footnote.
Israelis and Palestinians would still be squabbling.
The 2008-9 crash still would have happened.
The Kardashians would have still happened.
Airport security would be fast and efficient. You'd only have to arrive no more than an hour or so before your flight.
And all the lives that had been lost would have gone on; enriching their families and those of us they touched.
And then that is not a global state, my point is that there is global state, and trying to go through all kinds of academic exercises in "proper software design" is unneeded complexity. It's a tool, don't use it for the wrong job, but don't dismiss it just because other people use it the wrong way.

The situation is different because in this case the resulting (permanent) change in the employees' commute was something they couldn't have been aware of at the time they signed the employment contract.

For care workers working on site at clients the varying commute is a condition of their employment at the time they sign the contract. Unless the client's home is in an extremely remote area, there's nothing wrong with the varying commutes.

I've spent the last 17 years working for (and now running) tech startups in Boston; the worst of them ceded all fun to cube farms, but the best of them never went all-in on the culture described here. Perhaps there is an east/west coast division here?

I look at the folks working alongside me now, building an incredibly sophisticated machine learning engine for cybersecurity, and I wouldn't think to draw upon a Lego metaphor for what they're doing. It's hard, substantive, mathematical work, and certainly not akin to playing with toys. I expect my senior engineers, sales guys, and marketers to be both protective of the brand we're building and understanding of the need to grow fast and expand our teams.

Generally, if a client doesn't pay and goes silent, it's a stiff. As the organizations on both sides get larger and more bureaucratic, then it's possible for things to fall through the cracks, but conversely the odds of working by word of mouth drops and the odds that everyone is already lawyered up anyway increases.

On the small scale, it's not worth optimizing on repeat business with clients who don't pay.
When I used to freelance I'd ask for 50% upfront. This serves to purposes: It reduces your risk of total nonpayment, and it also forces the client to make a psychological commitment to the project and to you.

(Not a lawyer, but…) Definitely stop working. Do announce to them why you are stopping, so nobody can claim you abandoned the project.

While a call is useful, always follow it up with an email summarizing the call (date/time of the call, summary of what was discussed or what you mentioned to them). Useful for the timeline, and in small claims court, or handing the debt to collection services.

If there are any remaining deliverables, provide proof of the deliverable being ready via email, but provide it in an unusable format (e.g. with copyright message, watermark, smaller size) and state that it will not be released until payment is received. It sets up a timeline. Don't fall for the "just send us X and we will pay you".

Tip for the future: If a client exhibits a tendency to pay late, I place key assets (javascript, CSS, images) on my own server and link to them from their site. Once the work is paid for and/or the project completed, I upload stuff to their server on the hand-off. If they don't pay, I have some leverage, e.g. archiving these key assets on my server ("to make room for new projects") will impact their site. Depending on the assets you chose to self-host, it won't be easy to hand off your work to another developer either until they've paid for it.

PS If you need the client as a reference or is a big name that might lead to more business, staying on good terms is sometimes the better decision. Still stop working!

I'm saying that throwing about words like "redlining" is just an attempt to browbeat Google. If the Congressman was so concerned, he could get the $10/family subsidy from somewhere; which, I think, is the proper use of funds.

Your tone suggests that police officers have less agency/responsibility in such a scenario than the people with mental illnesses themselves. Is that actually what you are suggesting?
Consider working in the future on a pre-paid basis. I have had great success by charging clients [especially new ones] for "blocks" of hours. If your rate per hour is $100, consider selling your client a 5 hour block for, say, $450 - or 10h for $925. When you receive the check and it clears then get to work and keep going at your own pace till their "hours balance" goes to zero. Then ask for another check if they want you to continue on the project. They can buy more at any time. I keep track of time to the 1/10 hour. Tell them they can direct your efforts however they desire within the scope of what you are offering for a given rate. Offer greater discounts for larger block sizes. Unused hours expire or are fractionally reduced after 18 months... progress reports generated every 10 days or 10 hours used... generate your own policies.

Start with the cash. Saves many a headache billing/invoicing/etc.

For one, the national consciousness would be a bit less xenophobic and a bit more "American" in the sense that we'd be behaving like a child who had never been stung by a bee instead of a grizzly bear that was angry it had been stung by a bee.

I'd bet that we'd still have gone to war in Iraq (maybe in 2005 instead of 2003) and have some fraction of the current mess on our hands. The Bush administration was looking for a war with Iraq anyway.

EDIT: Maybe we'd be in Iran, also. Hard to say, but there was definitely a big push to get us into a war against them.

I'd also bet that we'd be a little bit behind on the whole surveillance state thing, though we might still have a police state. Assuming we did end up still invading Iraq, I can still see the world growing to hate the USA in the fashion similar to what happened.

quiply is an app for people to provide feedback on their workplaces. In quiply 2.0 we’ve added support for feedback on companies and all the different organizations and levels that make up those companies.

Different parts of a company are often very different from each other – the experience in engineering can be quite different from that in customer support. The workplace experience also often depends on how deep in the organization you report. And, of course, the leadership in different organizations and at different levels of the organization can be very different.

By giving users the ability to provide feedback on the part of the company and at the level of the organization that influences their workplace success on a daily basis, they’ll be able to provide more meaningful reviews. Also, someone thinking about taking a job at a company wants detailed organizational reviews, not just company-wide discussion.

quiply can be thought of as a ‘next generation’ Glassdoor, giving users the flexibility to provide workplace feedback with clear organizational granularity.

*Honest message.

As an advanced race I'd be pretty annoyed if I arrived on a planet which, as I'd been lead to believe, had finished sorting out all the primitive ways that we have when it had not.

"Equality is one of our most important problems, and we are making progress with it."
I definitely recommend the opposite. I've found that machines often force me into a pattern of movement that may not jibe with my body mechanics or build.

I'd recommend doing the big 3, but starting off light. Focus on improving the movement. Record yourself, fix your form, develop awareness of your body position (for example - what does "butt tucked in" feel like?) and learn how to dump the bar if something goes wrong.

Above all: don't let your ego get in the way. There's a fine line between "just one more" and "one too many".
I can't agree. This is like all those people who wasted money buying shop.com, and tv.com, when all the recognition is in ebay.com and youtube.com. If you listen to people talk about cloud services they say 'competitor-X's S3 clone', AWS owns the terminology.

Also, S3 is NOT some ftp service, it is a new concept. And why should they call Cloudfront instead Amazon CDN? Anyone using it knows what a CDN is and what Cloudfront is? Its like insisting Toyota call the Camry the Toyota Mid Size Car.
Build mobile controlled objects in Python with the VIPER App
VIPER (http://www.viperize.it/download/) is an easy to use development suite for the high level design of interactive objects ready for the cloud and the IoT.

With VIPER creatives, designers and professionals can develop in Python for Arduino DUE, ST Nucleo, most of Particle (formerly Spark) products, UDOO and similar boards using paradigms and features typical of PC and mobile programming.

The VIPER App (http://bit.ly/ViperApp) is a ready to use mobile app that acts as an interface for all the VIPER powered objects. It needs to be installed on a smartphone or tablet and it will become the interface of all the network or bluetooth powered VIPER objects.

More technical details:

All the logic of interaction between the VIPER object and the App is written in Python, while the UI is specified in HTML and Javascript; this way it is possible to build mobile controlled objects without writing any Android code.

The VIPER App interfaces are based on HTML 5 templates that can be written directly in the VIPER IDE and transferred to the microcontroller flash together with bytecode. The App includes many famous Javascript libraries that can be included and used from the template.

Any data collected or generated by VIPER powered devices (i.e. room temperature, room light and sound level, etc.) can be shown on mobile by sending a notification from Python to the App. The communication also happens the other way round with the App sending events to the Python script which in turn can execute functions. Therefore the App can also work as a remote controller, by specifying in the Python script which event triggers a specific callback (e.g. a switch button in the App can turn a led on and off).

If you do speak to a lawyer, bring up the possibility of getting a debt collector involved.

I've worked with debt collectors before, and lawyers often know some really good ones. It might be in both your best interest and the lawyers best interest for him to pass the work onto the debt collector, take the commission, and to have it done with.

The last time I worked with a debt collector, the client initially wouldn't pay the full price for the work we did for them. The second the debt collector was involved they couldn't wait to pay us. By the end of the day, all sides had their money, and all sides had moved on.

Are you doing model driven development for the contract - building the contract artifacts first (e.g. the wsdl/wadl/whatever) and generating documentation and some of the code off them?
If you can then the documentation problem goes away. You just regenerate the docs from the contract as part of the build.

Mocking takes time but means other teams can develop against your API before you've written any code, so while your coding effort is a little more, the elapsed development time across all teams is shorter. That can be a big win.

On the stability/reliability of etcd the team is very confident in how it behaves. Here is how we build that confidence:

- We have a functional testing cluster that is constantly simulating various types of failures. You can find some information on that here: https://coreos.com/blog/new-functional-testing-in-etcd/

- The team is works to ensure the raft library that we use (and that we now share with cockroachdb) has unit tests that handle all of the edge cases described in the raft paper. See this paper as an example: https://github.com/coreos/etcd/blob/master/raft/raft_paper_t...

- We have been running etcd in production for 1.5 years for a bootstrapping service called discovery.etcd.io and have focused on how to handle higher and higher read/write loads there. For example see the improvements we made in etcd 2.1 with async snapshots: https://twitter.com/BrandonPhilips/status/639843455141740544

- We have also focused on clear guides on how to operate etcd. All of this testing and performance work is of no use if people can't operate the system correctly: https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/

Of course if you have particular issues that you have encountered we would love to help: https://github.com/coreos/etcd#contact
My wife's current employer handles it this way. And it does seem like a fair compromise for cases of occasional semi-local travel (in her case, a remote office that's 50 miles from home and visited monthly, vs. her usual 12 mile commute).

Her previous employer didn't count any commuting to client sites as "on the clock". One of many reasons she left. Granted, this was a Beltway Bandit and all work was at client sites, but as contracts changed, her commute changed dramatically (not just within the city, but as much as 2 hours on the Interstate).

Depends if it adds anything else - readability, maintainability, flexibility, portability etc.

The "code as liability" argument seems, unless I'm mistaken, to be based on the idea that less code for the same level of functionality means less cruft, and therefore better support for the NFRs that I mentioned above.

That's often true, but not always.

If you're including those NFRs in what you mean by same functionality, then the number of lines of code is utterly irrelevant.
