Veteran's Day – War at Home
"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." -Douglas MacArthur

My name is Michael Dunker. I am an Air Force veteran, Michigan State graduate, and a filmmaker living in Los Angeles. If you are looking for a story this Veteran's Day, here is your story...

I served during 9/11 and the Iraq war. I deployed twice to the Middle East, but never served in combat. I received an honorable discharge and graduated from Michigan State University with a degree psychology. Now, I'm making a film about a solider who returns home from war and struggles with PTSD. Because this topic isn't "bankable," we were forced into using crowd-funding to finance our film and promised to give 50% of our profits back to Veterans Service Organizations. Here is the film:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1608325323/war-at-home

For the last eight years, I've been working in commercials, music videos, and feature films. I've met the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World. I worked with Robert Redford. I flirted with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now, I'm making this film with fellow veteran and producer David Lawson. Our last film titled Best of Both Worlds was accepted into 36 films festivals and sold into European distribution. David's last two films, titled Resolution and Spring, screened at Tribeca and Toronto respectively and can be found on VOD, iTunes, and Netflix.

We have a story, but it needs to be told. Our film is only film about veterans made by veterans. This Veterans Day everyone need to hear about this project. I respect most publications do not support these types of projects, but this is different. This is veterans helping veterans. Please consider writing an article about our project and pushing the PTSD discussion forward. We owe it the people that fought for this country.

Thank you
>The only problem with this is how this is impossible to scale to proper levels in the US.

This is obviously false when you consider the simple fact that there already exists a renewable surplus of food water and shelter in the US. There are more than 5 empty houses for every homeless person in the US. This is a distribution problem, not a production problem.
I'm sure they do, that doesn't in any way invalidate my statement. I can't say I have a single customer using either one. They're all using either secret server, or one of several other apps they can run on premise with AD integration.
A lot of the failure is actually on the parents here.

It's not that hard to get your child into schools for gifted children without your child being especially gifted. Not saying it's easy but it's not really about how gifted they are.

Here in NY a lot of parents push their kids and focus primarily on the skills thats needed to get into these schools without the kids having a natural urge to want to get into it. Lots of tutoring to get them to they point where they can do it.

And so a lot of children have "read the book" but don't understand it so to speak. And thats where the problem start.
"b) in the top 50% of your local group of students, for self esteem reasons and also because you'll start to feel like studying and working hard pays off if you seem to be successful in school relative to your peers."

Judging by the title, I figured we were in for a screed by an Obj-C holdout, but JavaScript? You want us to use JavaScript for iOS development?

> If primary education isn't child rearing, nothing is. Schools are absolutely there to raise the child.

By that logic, what exactly is the parents job then?

Really don't want to see anyone get down voted here for having an opinion. Different opinions are what drive conversation, so, I won't ignore your concerns here.

I'm not super big on the terminology, but I assume on-prem is on-premise, meaning you'd like to self-host. If I have that correct then unfortunately I can't promise anything here. I will most definitely pass this along to our team though so that they know there are some requests for it.

As for active directory integration. I'll be completely honest here and say I'm not totally sure how we can support this one. We use both an email, an Account Key, and a Master Password to access and decrypt your data. There isn't just a password to decrypt, we also use your Account Key combined with the Master Password. This could potentially provide some roadblocks to providing single sign on support. If you're looking at it for group integration (i.e. User X is in Group Y in AD/LDAP then they are in Group Y on 1Password for Teams), that might be a different story. I'll also pass your concerns and feedback for this one along.

I hope those are at least something, though I can certainly understand that it might not be to your liking. But if you have feedback or can help me understand things more I would certainly appreciate it. I'm just a developer and have never been a system admin, nor have I worked in a corporate environment. That leaves me a little green on those topics :)

I wrote something that works like that, called templer:

https://github.com/skx/templer

In the past I wrote all my HTML pages by hand. Then I started just writing the "body"-area, and concatenating a header, footer, and the body together to generate output. After that I started to make more changes.

In the end it grew, as these things do, but at the core templer allows you to put "stuff" into a "layout", and generates the output. It might suit you, or it might not. But there are many similar tools out there.

> I mentioned to another mother my concern about lack of empathy and kindness among the students

As I read this, it does not imply she thinks it's necessarily the schools job, but rather reflects her concern that she's leaving her child for 7 hours a day to fend for himself in environment of hyper-competitive sociopaths.
Yes, this will happen and I am not arguing that it would not happen.

>You tell a kid they're smart: You've immediately set them up for long term failure.

this is why you put the kid into a school with other "smart" kids so the kid gets the chance to experience that s/he isn't the smartest one, that there are much more smart kids out there.

Speaking from personal experience - without much special effort 8th grade city's first place in physics, mathematics and chemistry, regional second in physics, yet once i got into the high school for advanced studies of math and physics (where students were collected from multiple regions of the USSR (45-y anybody ?:)) i was just an average, and any time getting above it took significant effort and on many occasions i was just trounced by other students, the really smart ones.

Employee

Worst moment:

'00 tech bubble implosion. I had dropped out of college, was working for a major company (ask.com) and survived three rounds of layoffs. Watching FuckedCompany.com and seeing the rumors come true made me phyically ill. I saw friends lose their jobs and I rationalized it by telling myself they were the lower-skilled employees, not really adding value (that's true, they weren't). Then it was my turn to be cut. I couldn't help applying my rationalization to myself. It was bad for me.

High point:

I had a manager try to coerce me into signing an agreement to stay with the company for the next 2 years. I was interviewing at the time and quit a week later. When I gave him my resignation he said "I have a lot of friends in Silicon Valley, and you better stay at this job for a long time because it's the last one you're going to get." 2 years later I get an internal reference check email. I wanted to try to sub in for the on-site interview, but I'm glad I took the high road and just gave the hiring coordinator my history with him.

Seeing as the answers you linked are primarily justified by the Old Testament, I assume you don't really understand Christian Theology.

In the NT, the only reference to homosexuality is found in Romans which has two key elements: (a) it's not spoken by Jesus and (b) can be interpreted as a criticism of sexual promiscuity in general.

Christianity does not explicitly regard homosexuality as sinful or detestable. There are openly gay ministers in the Lutheran and Anglican churches, for example.

Not necessarily. If you have an organization with 100 users and most systems are accessed rarely, an audit log can show you things like "Steve accessed ALL the credentials."
I got a bit flustered at this snippet here:

>Notice anything off about that XML? If you said, “value should be 0 instead of False”, then give yourself a pat on the back.

Because text values can be valid XML for Boolean values. According to the XML Schema specification:

3.2.2.1 Lexical representation
An instance of a datatype that is defined as ·boolean· can have the
following legal literals {true, false, 1, 0}.

3.2.2.2 Canonical representation
The canonical representation for boolean is the set of
literals {true, false}.

So a better correction would be 'false'.

The schools are not their to raise the child, that is the parents' job.
Seriously, I do not need to read up on this, I was there. But one does not really need to have first-hand experience to see the deliberate deception in klein's "shock doctrine" and the like: for example, different countries in the region had markedly different timings, different implementation of reforms, different rhetoric, and different resources; but the outcomes pretty much fall into two groups: places where people demanded and expected accountability on part of government (ie. baltic states, and a few former warsaw pact countries) did relatively fine, and others devolved into oligarchies (ie. the rest of the former soviet union).
> Don’t we have enough programming languages already?

Completely disagree! We can never have enough languages! I'm excited about the new languages to come, that will re-use the best ideas of the existing languages and come up with new, helpful things.

Kind of disappointed with the article. Just because one language (in this case JavaScript) is occupying the space and is "better" than another, doesn't mean that the other language is irrelevant.

But then again I neither program with Swift or ObjectiveC. Or targeting iOS at al so I might be completely wrong...
I always took it as the general way we throw piles of stuff on top of other stuff until eventually it's so unstable a woodpecker would knock it all over rather than as an accurate indictment of software practices which are of course different to building, software is part science, part art and part prayer.
False dichotomy in my book. Schools/Teachers totally have an influence on how students act around each other. Parents do too. Parents wanting the school to care about it's influence doesn't mean they don't want to do anything about it.

I think the primary unit should be "the story". I think that submissions of the same story should come under an umbrella meta-submission. This will allow different points of view, without splitting the discussion.

New submissions of the same story can be identified as "identical" or "related", and either dropped or merged. All this can be curated by people who simply happen to notice the duplication, and most users need not do anything.

The addition of a "meta-submission" might be too much of a step for the software, though. With some thought it should be possible to integrate the idea into the existing structure, but I know nothing about the internals, so I can't say for sure.
Generally whatever they end up doing between 9 and 5. Traditionally this would entail one parent working and the other staying at home, of which the one staying at home might spend an hour in the morning getting the child ready and an hour picking them up / shuttling them to extracurriculars or whatever. In the mean time it is assumed that parent would do house work or other family oriented activities like shopping, cooking, finances, etc.

Hasn't this been the status quo in all societies with "modern" education? Genuinely curious.
This isn't an argument against Swift for iOS development. Its an argument against native application development.
Another Google April Fools Day joke, some years ago, was Google Paper, or some such name. IIRC it was funny.
I guess I'm not understanding...at what point would we be penalizing already-cooperative behavior?

I can't think of many instances where someone would be paid enough to not raise their child, for example.

And if you could pay someone to do something they normally wouldn't wouldn't they be merely passively not for it and not actively against that thing?

I've worked with some pretty good PMs, but even they seemed to be good primarily because they had good gut instincts and not because they applied a rigorous process.

So have you provided a rigorous, data-driven defense of every decision you've made as an engineer?

'cuz I've met a lot of great engineers whio made great decisions primarily because they had good gut instincts and not because they applied a rigorous process.

I've also seen engineering teams suffer because of a ten-second decision made by someone a year previously.

We're more similar than you think. :)

The sad reality is PM is fundamentally a dark art, even more so than engineering, which is, let's face it, driven as much by instinct as true engineering principles.

Now, that doesn't excuse a PM from not doing market research, not doing cost/benefit analysis, not tracking KPIs, etc, etc. PMs should view themselves like an entrepreneur, and should always be looking to back their decisions with data like any other business owner.

But ultimately, good instincts have to be part of the skillset. And just like an engineer, sometimes decisions are made based on a gut reaction, particularly when decisions have to be made very quickly (which happens more often than we'd all like).
My own custom one. :) They're not very hard to write and once written make updates a breeze. It's the ideal tool for resumes, I think.
I actually think we're at the point where it's an irresponsible business decision to build an iOS app in Swift over Javascript in most cases. React Native can target both iOS + Android with a much better development workflow than Swift can offer.

Why on earth would you want to use Swift when it's harder and more time consuming to implement, takes longer to learn, has worse library support, is harder to hire for, and only targets one platform? Apple really dropped the ball with Swift.

I suppose that "performance mandates it" is a valid reason for wanting to use Swift. But I think for 95% of apps Swift is the wrong technology choice.
Correct - on-prem = on-premise.

AD integration meaning yes, ability to tie users/groups between 1password and existing AD infrastructure. The idea there being that if a user is terminated, and their AD account is deleted/locked out, everywhere else is locked at the same time.

Forty years ago, I was bused across Fairfax County. Apart from a few kids in the same swath of suburbs, my classmates were bused in from other parts. I keep in touch with some of them via Facebook. They were amazing kids and are for the most part amazing middle aged adults.

The striking difference between my experience and that described in the article is that the educational structure of The Center was not competitive. They were just normal elementary school classrooms other than the level of the content. There are only two plausible reasons that I didn't experience the idea that some kids were dumber than others, either it didn't happen or I was the dumbest and the other kids were compassionate and kind.

Five year olds don't feel pressure to get into the best kindergarden. It's some adult's bright idea to sanction eight year olds competing on spelling day in and out. Once a year for the Scripps National Spelling Bee is plenty enough if not too much. My son goes to school with children who don't get dinner if they get a B on a math test and others whose parents have picked their majors before middle school...in STEM of course.

Yet I think the the most awesome of my classmates from all those years ago are an historian and a public school teacher.

Yep. There is very definitely a reason. You might not like it, but there is. For the moment we need a client that runs reasonable well in web browsers.

As libraries become more available or the nature of our clients change, we can switch. We certainly look forward to having the smaller keys that ECC will give us.

We are aware of tweet-nacl, but we are trying to avoid the number of external JS libraries we would need. This is why the Teams web app is limited to browsers that most fully support WebCrypto.(Of course our own browser extension for Desktop 1Password runs in more browsers as it does not rely on any crypto itself.)

I admit it is kind of weird using GCM where a stream cipher would be faster, lighter, cheaper. And so we definitely are looking forward to moving to something like that for our transport layer encryption. There aren't any security problems with our current ciphersuites, but we should be able to
improve performance by using things like what you recommend.

To me, this phrase is the essence of much of Google's features. To my discredit, I chuckled when I read the blog's phrase "we've used...deep neural networks to improve...YouTube thumbnails." I am certain this was no easy task, and a resulting technical breakthrough. But doesn't it sound kind of petty?

Of course, what's petty for one is essential for another. I wish every e-mail client had that "undo send" feature, which was just GMail whimsy years ago. Is the line between petty and essential always going to be blurred?
