The one junior in our office is fresh out of university. He's in the team that does all the difficult stuff. Most of all, he's incredibly green. However, he's constantly listening, and attempting to contribute, to conversations between the "sages" in the office. In a few months he has become more senior than many of the people who have been working there for years.

I'd much rather work with someone like Kamil than that vitriolic "expert" on Reddit who claims you need 15+ years before you are able to think about your job.

That's a really informative tutorial series.

A tip to everyone checking the codebase (JS parts) to learn about building a Trello-like application, there isn't any optimistic UI updates in this tutorial app. (eg. after dragging a card to another list, displaying the card at the dragged position before receiving confirmation from the server.)

When you add optimistic updates to the mix with real time updates, things get much more complicated. Tracking pending updates, rolling back when something goes wrong, ordering of updates, reconciliation with server when the client is missing some updates etc.

I'm building something similar, and these have been most time consuming parts to build in a reliable way.
> As far as space tourism,

space tourism will become much cheaper very soon, the last 3 weeks we have had massive accomplishments in space. To get comfortable going to another planet, surely people will need to be normalized to the idea of space, which is what the value of space tourism is, besides the obvious superlative nature of it.
Our politicoeconomic system is constructed such that this is inevitable, yes. It rewards self-interest almost exclusively, and the more corrupt power you gain, the more corrupt power you gain.

I know several MPs on this country - I went to school with them. They're all of a particular type - egoistic, manipulative, not terribly clever - and inexplicably popular. One of them dressed up as a nazi for a party, and sexually assaulted a passed out girl. This was 15 years ago.

A large part of the reason for the shoulder rubbing is the same - school. In the US colleges and private prep schools are where these networks are built, in the UK, public (I.e. Private) school, and "doxbridge" are the power broking hubs. These people go on to run the world, as they inherit, and/or work with each other in their respective sectors. I largely shun my school network as I can't abide authoritarians, but my business is here in part at least because of it - started it with a friend from school.

One of the core tenets of fascism is strong collusion and protection between state and large corporate interests.

How can lightbulbs be national security issue?
This story really made me reflect on my own similar past. Growing up poor in US as son of immigrant family and somehow getting into a nationally well known college (public though), I was shocked to see things that I had never known about.

The shock came from seeing how I lacked culture/experience/skills/confidence others had. And these others had grown up in more stable environments with either some or quite a bit of money.

I didn't know how to play any instrument. I wouldn't say everyone I knew in college played an instrument since I wasn't at Standford :) but still it was obvious to me I LACKED the soft skills my peers had.

I had not done many things as a teenager that are possible only when you grow up in a family with some means. And this weakened already not so robust confidence in myself, resulting in a mostly downward spiral as far as confidence in myself.

You see growing up with money buys you a lot of soft skill that helps you later.

I'm not bitter though. It is what it is. I try to be thankful for what I've had so far.

Thank you very much. That problem was bothering me for quite a long time, but I couldn't figure out correct term for googling.

Another solution I made myself is just to use string as a key. If you need to insert something between "a" and "b", it'll become "an". If you need to insert something between "an" and "am", it'll become "ann", etc. It uses 26 letters but probably should use 64 different characters. This way you'll manipulate strings, they could be easily sorted and you'll figure out next string quite fast. But they could grow long, so entire recalculation should be done from time to time.
Please excuse my ignorance as I am but a student starting to learn more about the world, but it seems as though the more I learn about the power and policies of the US government, the more I see potential (and indeed realization at times) of an abuse of that power and law for money.

For example things like the Iran Contra and war on terror seem awfully protracted and conveniently secures oil while selling weapons. At the time it might've merely been suspicious but certainly looking back we should be wary of the excuses of "security" and "democracy". Now, it seems quite convenient for the US to deny sales of resources (such as this technology, but also in positions such as Canadian gas) to China, with nebulous "security" reasons.

Well, perhaps tying US involvement in the Middle East with this sale is speculative. But I am wary that the US tends to exercise powers such as military and "law" in what should otherwise be a "fair" global economic system.
Yes exactly, that's what the article is about.

I think we can say there is a kind of 'bulb user' in regards to OS, from those that only know UNIX and Windows.

That is why is so important to spread the word of old OS designs and welcome any attempts to move forward.

This is why I like the changes in mobile OSes architecture, pushing safer languages and with a stack where the kernel type is actually irrelevant to user applications.
Are you assuming SRV-IOV passthrough (which has its own performance profile) ? Because normal virt -definitely- hits a context switch when it goes from unikernels virtual NIC to real NIC, if not twice.

> in the old model, you'd say something in print, copy it a million or so times, then distribute it on paper around the world.

> If an evildoer wanted to change a claim from say, 20 years ago, they'd have to create a forgery that looks like it's 20 years old, then secretly swap out all the archival copies in libraries and get large-scale mass obedience from librarians or manually make the swap at each library individually.

It has happened: http://www.unz.com/plee/india-v-china-border-games/ (the relevant bit begins at "India’s claim to AP is complicated in an interesting way.")

You're correct, of course, that it's become easier in the modern model. But people who feel strongly about the more adversarial issues of the modern day already archive enemy publications themselves, lest they mysteriously change in the future. The climate change issue is full of this sort of thing.

Even the fact that forged "original copies" are easy to create can be overcome; you just need to contemporaneously deposit a copy somewhere that creates records of when you make deposits and withdrawals. Again, the amount of adversarial forethought required has changed enough to make a significant difference.

I wish archive.org wouldn't delete old material based on new robots.txt policies, though. :/

I've heard that being too keen on real estate is a common pitfall for middle class investors.

I'm in US but I agree. I'm not old enough yet (I hope) but most of friends' parents lost all they had later in their life and from what I heard they were heavily into real estate. Some owned few houses and others worked as realtor.

For those that owned houses, they were extended too thinly and couldn't sell fast enough to cover mounting interest and cost when economy tanked, resulting in bankruptcy.

Correction, rogue planets are detected when their gravity causes micolensing of distant objects (stars), not the other way around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_planet#Observation

Not an astronomer, but my impression is that microlensing couldn't be used to detect objects in our own solar system, but I don't see any reason why eclipsing of distant stars couldn't be used... it would be far too rare to be practical to find a planet, though.

I take your point, though in fairness many who follow Docker will have noted the sale at the time as it was all over HN etc. Followed not all that long after by the acquisition of Tutum interestingly, getting them right back into the PaaS space again.
It's usually used to quash disagreements. As in "check your privilege." It's often used as a way to categorically exclude people from a discussion, and this sense is the "angry" sense. So yes, it's less applicable because it's used as a shortcut to avoid forming a real understanding with someone else.
How's that different from any other freelancer? They all pay themselves a salary until they get to the higher income tax bands, then they pay a dividend. That's the most tax efficient way of doing it usually due to the presence of the personal allowance on income.
That's why Europe needs to commit to either "the ever greater union" (at least in a fiscal sense) or kind of bin it off altogether and engage in the race to the bottom like you say

Larry and Sergey are smart visionary people, no doubt, but PageRank was known (not that that name) since the '50s, and even applied during the 80's to academic references (offline hyperlinks, if you think about it ...).

I'm not sure who deserves the credit for figuring out the meaning of the stationary distribution of a markov chain (that it exists follows from the Perron Frobenious theorem and may have been known before that), and I don't know who first applied it to references/hyperlinks - but it wasn't Larry and Sergey
Yeah I always get the same feeling too. Traditional mandelbrot/julia whatever fractals are nice, but really boring IMO.
The government will then spend that money on dropping bombs on people in Iraq and Syria, propping up the housing market with dubious schemes and helping already wealthy pensioners.

You might be better optimising your affairs for lower tax, then spending the money you gained on something more ethical.
ahh but you can't pay yourself entirely from dividends. at least, if you are speaking form the standpoint of a US citizen/tax payer. there is a vague but very well litigated stipulation that your wages must be "fair" and commensurate with the work you do for the corporate entity you own. if not, they'll just say your dividends were wages and you owe back taxes + interest and penalties.
Never heard of those. Do you have a link?
Parts of several countries were affected. Other parts had no outage. Depending on the view point, the blackouts a few years earlier in Italy and US were more widespread.
The absolute worst thing about this is that large corporations get a solid tax advantage in the UK compared to small businesses without the money or swing with HMRC to compete.

Spaniard here. Unemployment has reached 20% after 2008 real state collapse, central government is corrupt and incompetent. I guess that any economic trouble could be fatal.
Coming from a similar background like the original poster, I agree with him.

And no I didn't run out of money while in college because I went on ski trips. I lived on student loan and credit card just to pay for food and not much else. My parents couldn't send me much money. And yes I worked to earn money while in college, which doesn't help with improving grade. And of course the peers with no money worry can pick and choose non-paying internships or go do something that adds to their resume.

Growing up poor (I mean poor) damages one's psyche that others just don't understand. The degree of severity may vary but combine teen years + seeing parent(s) struggle with money everyday, you have a recipe for a hurt in your heart that lasts your life time that others just don't understand. And this 'hurt' is more noticeable when you know your peers around you are not suffering same issue.

And no I don't advocate for a national program to eradicate poverty.
I understand that the USA have a lot of leverage against any global company and you don't want to displease them, but what are the actual legal foundations for the USA to approve that deal?

Experience does not equate to cynicism, or at least shouldn't in a 'good' developer. And experience is indeed a common 'replacement' for youthful enthusiasm, mostly because greater experience (usually) brings with it lower risk, faster / cheaper development and a greater chance of success of the project. If you are a junior, no matter your level of enthusiasm, you often don't know what you don't know.

Personally I'm happy to work with people of all 'types' as it's possible to take the best from them and ignore the worst (unless it's destructive to team spirit and the success of the project). Many occupations have their cynics and difficult or annoying personalities, software development is no different.

It's hard to care about articles like this anymore. They're like the SV bubble articles. Every month some other genius tells us the EU is about to collapse and they've been telling us this since 2008. The EU has faced some pretty massive hurdles in that time and managed to overcome them and I see no reason that can't continue with the new refugee crisis and the ongoing financial crisis in some of the member states.

The bloat caused by even a bare minimum WP site versus html/css is breathtaking.

Let's say you need to put up a simple brochure type site. You can do alot wih just 2-3 MB text/pics. With WP, it takes about 10MB just to get it running.

And let's not forget the DB backend of WP. This alone vastly increases complexity, at least for average users.

Scale this up and you see how bloated WP is. You want to put up 100 brochure sites (each about 5MB). With html/css sites, that translates to what 500MB of data? With WP, that already is 1000MB. And add requirement for a DB backend for 100 websites. The bloatness jumped by at least a factor of 2 with just the requirement for more storage. With DB requirement, the bloatness jumped imo by a factor of 5 or so.

Laugh, but LEDs by their nature are semiconductor devices capable of very high speed modulation, and the complexity of what's being built into the LED packages is increasing.

I like Angela Merkel, and I live in the EU (Ireland). I think she's wrong about a lot of things though.

The EU is on shaky foundations. The original principles of free movement, free trade, solidarity & peace are great. I totally support them. They move the world in a liberal (ie liberty) direction and they really do promote the central goal, centuries of peace. Europe has been at peace for a logn time. It's an achievement, and we need to defend that. But, there was never a truly agreed upon and understandable basis for how these would be promoted and protected and an explicit definition of where and how the EU's authority ends and the State's begins. This has left our national governments with a nice scapegoat, great for populists, nationalists and fringe politicians to use for their purposes.

The Greek saga is a perfect example. Rather than an intelligent abstract policy of allowing Greek to make their own decisions, support with limited liability for the Union we get a German style bureaucratic approach. Regulation an oversight.

I also appreciate her refugee policy. My grandparents (like many's) were refugees in WWII. I think it came from a genuine place of human solidarity. I hope it doesn't sting Germany too badly.

I hope that the EU gets another round of constitutional, foundational work. Take as long as it takes, but do it right. This is for the next 200 years. The problem, as I see it, is that politics has polarized into pro and anti EU. Anti-EU political outsiders from either (or neither) traditional wings using anti-EU rhetoric as an easy populist tools and pro-EU insiders defending the EU as a bureaucratic status quo.

One thing I think needs to change urgently is an exit policy. We need a way for countries that don't want to be in, to get out. It will act as a relief from a lot of populist pressure. If the UK want out, they should have an available option. Similar for Greek. No hard feelings, civilized-like, we can still be friends, just do what the people want.

Philips partners with Cisco to install distributed hardware and lighting into corporate institutions and high end hotels. Cisco[0] is a known entry point for embedded surveillance techniques. The lighting system, on top of being entirely contolled via remote, is networked into the buildings infrastructure. Also, as a focal point[1], it connects with cellphones and other networked sensors to provide the amount of lighting, temperature, occupancy and other data which it uses to automate functionality.

The temperature sensors map the entire building, as likely would motion sensors. This tech provides realtime data about who and where people are within a building, control of the actual lighting, and mappings of every structure they are installed in, some of which are high end hotels, corporate offices, research labs and medical facilities.
