Right, but then you need some kind of deployment adaptor to do something useful (like deploying apps) -- Heaven's the recommended one, but

> Heaven is a rails app that was designed to be hosted on heroku. https://github.com/atmos/heaven/blob/master/doc/installation...

Now we've got dependencies on node, npm, ruby, rails, heroku, some datastore, a queue for hubot, whatever your actual builder is (capistrano/chef/whatever) etc etc.

Right now I do all this with Jenkins+bash scripts. Inelegant and not as robust as I'd prefer, but so simple. I could just use a Jenkins adaptor for hubot, but then what's the point? I want locking environments, advanced permissions, and so forth.

I'm mostly complaining because I'm dying to implement chatops (mostly for slack-based deployments) but the information is really light, or the tools are too environment-specific, and I don't have people to bounce ideas/questions off of.
Very nice story. Wish it becomes very successful.

Persian Gulf May Be Too Hot for Humans by 2100, Study Finds
It is indeed very interesting, however it has not been studied enough. Nothing has been proved. Too much effort goes in mainstream economics, while complex systems and agent based models are where the good stuff is, to answer question such as yours.

Aggregation problems are at the very core of Hayek reflection. I would not say it's bad. Look at his excellent 1945 paper: http://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/hykKnw1.html

There seems to be a lot going in favor. The global optimality depends on what one think is best.

Like, maybe Betamax was really better than VHS, but we humans settle on VHS. They went away with DVD. Then, rinse and repeat with Blueray.

Maybe Betamax and HD-DVD were much better, and maybe in an alternate reality they won. But saying they should have won and imposing that by force would be unfair to all those who chose otherwise in this reality.

And if we argue on a coordination problem, I would disagree- all it takes is something much better, like DVDs were to the VHS, or as streaming is to Blueray.

So being "stuck" on a local optima depends on a) the existence of an alternative only slightly better and b) lack of progress, ie never ever having a clearly better alternative to overcome the smallness of the difference or c) disregarding the opinions or the costs to whoever prefers the alternative.

We may not have proofs, but there is a strong argument. But maybe I am biased, as I would consider myself an Austrian economist.

Personally, I think the best way is leaving everyone free, not forcing anyone to do what they don't want to do, as I don't like the concept of force or violence. I don't care about government action as such - if it was optional, as in a "recommendation". As in saying cigarettes are bad. Not in banning or taxing them.

Oh I totally came off the wrong way. I fully understand and find it morally permissible for the aggrieved to escalate their tactics when less disruptive activities fail.

You keep re-framing this in terms of "a workplace confrontation," yet your only engagement with this situation, at all, is an eyewitness account claiming it was problematic.

Negating and ignoring the subjective experience of women is very root of the problem in question. And that's exactly what you're doing!

Also, white males quoting MLK at minorities to get them to behave is so cliche, it's actually a pretty reliable signal of bad faith. I would advise you to avoid it in the future.

And I really feel that he need external input here.

Yes, he does need external input. Just make sure it does not cancel out his own inputs.

He is the center of his life. He has knowledge he cannot convey to you. That knowledge influences his decisions. Just because he cannot articulate it does not mean it is unimportant.

So, let's take a simple example: He dislikes a particular shirt. Perhaps it is his only wool shirt and perhaps he has a mild, unrecognized wool allergy. He can tell you he doesn't like the shirt and doesn't want to wear it. He cannot tell you why in a way that is defensible if you require him to justify his choice.

Expose him to good things and lots of options. But try to let him pick and choose. Try to resist the temptation to decide what he should or should not like.

I used to think video games were drivel, brain rot, no good would come of it. My mother kept sending them, my sons kept playing them. My sons now want to make video games and I have been won over. That occurred because I left some space for them to make decisions about their own lives and some room for the possibility that I did not know everything and was not always right.

The innate intelligence of small children gets overlooked, ignored and dismissed simply because they aren't as educated and articulate as the adults, so they cannot defend their preferences. Assume his preferences exist for a reason. Don't automatically dismiss them just because you are better than he is at articulating why you think something is or is not a good choice.

I hope that makes more sense. Happy parenting and best of luck.

One of the major motivations of the project is avoiding both the environmental cost of operating autos on the same route, and as an alternative to the infrastructure costs (including land lost from other uses) of adding the road capacity to handle volume growth on the routes the HSR will support.

This is absurd. The cars are going to get much more efficient, and the roads are already there.
There's been a lot of criticism for that comment and it really shouldn't be taken without a large pinch of salt. For example, it didn't account for people buying it once and installing on more than one device. That's a pretty big oversight.

Much as I love ustwo, it was a stupid comment for that developer to make.
A well regarded standard UI library, say jointly developed by browser vendors, could be CDN served and cached or even bundled with browsers eliminating the download cost with the massive advantage that it can be versioned independently of HTML and browsers and is optional in case a better library comes along.

Because most of them didn't obtain it 100 years ago. Most of them obtained it as a subsidized attempted by California to settle the useless Central Valley.

At this point, California needs to simply start buying out the agribusinesses and shutting them down. Unfortunately, this will kill the Central Valley. However, as we have seen, so will a lack of water.

It's basically impossible to implement lower bounds for descendent selectors without scoping.

You can kind of fake it with build steps and some luck, but it will always have holes and problems with dynamically updated DOM.

Faking lower bounds also keeps the browser from knowing that it doesn't have to invalidate the isolated scopes when properties above them changes.
Agreed. UI/UX is laghably bad.

cppreference is documenting the standards and hasn't lots of information about specific implementations.

Technically, this issue is already covered by saying "The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF."

But in reality it is of course hilarious if a simple function like isblank() can crash if though it only check (in the default locale) if its parameter is equal to 9 or 32.

I also checked other libc implementations (IIRC the BSD, OSX, dietlibc and Bionic) and none of the others did crash or even produce surprising results with values outside of the defined range.
Outside of government work, I would expect safety-critical systems to be one of the top fields for job security.
To some extent. But we have a diversity of architecture in California, we're not all adobe mission huts and mid century modern homes. Old Palo Alto for example has a preponderance of 1920s/30s Tudor Revival homes, which really deserve an English garden.

IMO the issue here is really the ridiculously low cost of water. If someone wants to have an extravagantly lush lawn let them. But it's only fair that they pay through the nose for it. This makes it clear to consumers what their choice costs. Hitting people in the wallet is a far more effective way at changing behavior than lecturing people about civic mindedness which happens too often in California.
In the InfluxDB workload, they didn't get the "less seeks" you're talking about. Sure, you can delay paying for the seek by a second, if that. So can the buffer cache on any other DB structure. But when you have an overlapping range of keys and it's continuously growing, you hit the worst-case. Which InfluxDB did.

My dad is a cab driver. I myself have a lot of experience managing cab business, I can tell you cab business works pretty much the same way. You can sign up with as many cab drivers you like and offer them as much business they can handle. Sooner or later they will find permanent paying customers and move on. Especially among elderly, kids and women.

Its the standard in every industry. Once you've built your ground, you never like to go through a third party.
Really this is silly. People who advocate nuclear power do not understand the difference between "risk" and "uncertainty".

"Risk" is where the probabilities of occurrence can be estimated and the consequences predicted.

"Uncertainty" is the set of other things going wrong.

Nuclear risk can be managed: We can contain a nuclear pile, we can design piping to withstand wear and sopply redundancy.

But with a nuclear power station if some thing unforeseen happens to the containment vessel the consequences are ruin and effectively unbounded catastrophe.

A coal burning stations are dirty polluting monstrosities (at their best) but it is all risk.

Not that I am advocating coal, I am not! But nuclear is no replacement. We are much better to do without energy than build nuclear power plants.

But the main incentive for nuclear power is making materials for bombs, IMO
No, people will not die. They will buy bottled water.

Is it expensive? Well, maybe living in the middle of a desert should not be subsidized. Anyone who thinks that's too expensive is free to another place. Notice the "free to".

Eminent Domain is awful. As I just posted in another thread, I think the best way in general is leaving everyone free - not forcing anyone to do what they don't want to do, as I don't like the concept of force or violence.

I don't care about government action as such - if it was optional, as in a "recommendation". As in saying cigarettes are bad. Not in banning or taxing them.

Eminent Domain is using the force of the government and the threat of violence against whoever stands in the way. Like people whose homes are in the way of making new private buildings, as seen in many cases. All it takes is giving them enough money to make them leave on their own free will.

If they don't want to, or if you're too cheap for that, what makes anyone think you have more "rights" to their property than these people do??

I can't ever agree to that, sorry.
Eh. A traditional disaster kills people.
Lead generation is IMO white-hot, maybe not for VCs but certainly to the stakeholders involved. Lots, and lots of legacy businesses yearning for new methods of leadgen, and lots of money involved for someone able to solve it.

The problem was precisely that Homejoy was a leadgen product but attempted to extract a cut of the action for the rest of time, rather than one-time as most leadgen goes.

saalweachter is right - the big question is what value Homejoy provides. In this case it's clear that Homejoy offers (to the cleaner and the customer) a substantial one time value, and then provides little to no value for subsequent engagements. Because the product doesn't offer any value into the future, both participants were incentivized (and IMO well justified) in cutting them out of the deal.

Negating and ignoring the subjective experience of women is very root of the problem in question.

You do realize you can criticize someone of being a bad actor without aiding and abetting sexism.

Can't you?

Or would you have me believe that criticizing, say, the Black Panthers or the IRA for their actions is basically racist, too?

Also, white males quoting MLK at minorities to get them to behave is so cliche, it's actually a pretty reliable signal of bad faith.

And not learning anything from illuminating, historical analogies, and the wisdom of luminaries from those struggles, is evidence of willful ignorance.

The fact that you assume I'm a "white male", and therefore that my quoting a black man is "cliche" is also borderline racist... Would it have been better if I quoted Ghandi? Jesus? Which leaders espousing views of peace, justice, and understanding in the face of adversity would you prefer I'd have quoted, given your assumptions about my gender and ethnicity?

Yeah, those things are nice and compelling. I've used them, often happily! Some of the new language features are hard to live without once you're used to them; I especially like async/await and the destructuring syntax.

The flip side is simply that it's more technology, more stuff to learn, more stuff to keep running on your computers, and more potential bugs and strange interactions to run into.

I don't like to talk about it in a negative way, because it can sound like I'm disparaging the technology. But, there are nice things about having your project be written in the actual language that the browser already supports. Like simply never having to think about transpilers.

Of course once you've learned about tools like Webpack and Babel, you can use them to your heart's content if they make you more productive. I just wanted to emphasize to the person I replied to that you don't NEED any of them. Especially not to just get started.

You don't need minifying until there's a problem with your page load time and until you actually know that minifying will help with that -- until then, it's strictly speaking a premature optimization. (Writing less complex code may be more important!) And so on.

And "no observed downside" is not strictly true if you consider the cost of added complexity.

For someone who is overwhelmed by infrastructural proliferation, it should be nice to hear that you can develop actual applications with just plain JavaScript and maybe a small Makefile.
I live in Nicaragua. While this is strictly speaking corruption, it is a very democratic form of corruption. In the US corruption is a sport mainly enjoyed by the rich.

I like the term malleable as it describes it much better than the black and white world of corrupt or not.

Here in Nicaragua it is part of what makes the country work and prices are at a level that most people can be part of it.

Living police salaries are luxuries for rich countries. Nicaraguan police are pretty honest and effective, just look at our crime rates that are well below the region.

If they charge someone an "on the spot" negotiable fine it is something most people accept as long as it's not outrageous. Is it ideal? No. But it's probably better than most other alternatives for a country at this level of economic development.
Seeing this is one of those fabolous "you have got to be kidding me" moments.
