For those who might not be aware, the highest SSL Labs grade is not A, but A+.

To score A+ you must score A and additionally set HSTS headers with long duration (I use 2 years, haven't tried with less). For example, with Nginx you use something like:

add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63113904;";
Rather than creating the markdown for a specific renderer, I think you should focus on creating markdown that can be easily read and edited - so no "######" headings, no quoted text or horizontal lines, basically no clutter. Then how it appears in HTML can be tweaked by the renderer and via CSS. Also I assume clean markdown would generally look better in most renderers.
I see quotes to use it as an analogy. I'm not claiming that their algorithm over fits. It is just another way of saying the system is too specific and optimized to chess to be generalizable.
A markdown resume certainly could look simple and elegant, but this tool is nowhere near it.

In my opinion they are the same thing, unfortunately the term SOA has gotten a bit poisoned.

SOA mostly refers to "Enterprise SOA" now and Enterprise SOA has skewed many of the decoupled principles of SOA.

For example Enterprise SOA heavily focuses on middleware, of course all these middlewares are vender specific and create vender lock-in. Microservices mostly focus on just HTTP for their middleware.

Another example of Enterprise SOA is using SOAP and most people configure their SOAP services to have very rigid contracts. So if you update your SOAP service schema to add a field, even if none of your consumers need that field they all need to update their consuming schemas which is very tightly coupled. Microservices should focus on consumer-driven contracts for services.

Language evolves and I would say a lot of people now consider SOA to mean heavy middleware and SOAP with strong contracts creating the new term "microservices" help to differentiate.

Thanks. Whilst I was aware that Unity3D was shipping with an ancient version of Mono (and more or less consequently with an ancient version of C#), I wasn't aware there were a lot of JIT/GC related complaints against it.
Personally, it's replaced Python and Ruby for my web development. I like the compile-time typechecking and the ability to annotate structs and then use those annotations as direct rules for serializing data via XML / JSON serializers. The compile-time typechecking means I don't need 100% coverage to make sure I haven't typo'd a variable name somewhere.

But if you weren't using Python or Ruby for your web development, YMMV.

Waiting List for Bridge
I would say that the Chromebook's USB ports are probably to blame as well. Shorting the +Vpp pin to GND should only result in sinking the maximum current but not in the port being damaged. Likewise, I'd expect the signal port to be protected against shorting it to GND or connecting it to a (moderately) high input voltage. The USB standard does probably not require these kind of protections, but they are nevertheless good, defensive design for any port that gets connected to a large number of unknown and potentially dangerous / badly designed devices.

Btw I already destroyed some parallel, serial and USB ports when connecting them to devices I built that malfunctioned or were ill designed (during prototyping), so as a measure of safety I now often use optocouplers to galvanically isolate my circuit from the port, which can help to prevent most kinds of damage.
Yes! Though it would require the state to be an Objective-C class instead of a struct. We're currently trying not to rely on Obj-C at all.
>the same markdown looks much better in stackedit's rendering

Link to that one as the example then ;)

I think it's down to different markets wanting different things. A cool project, but maybe not so useful, would be a resume generator that from one data source (in Markdown perhaps) could generate resumes in the "correct" form for Europe, India, the US and so on.
What you have done is give an example where it would be an improvement to have force feedback. It's a common fallacious way to try and disprove something.

It does not mean that this is the general case. Actually, it doesn't matter if it is. If there are a dozen uses without feedback, and 3 dozen uses with feedback, it's still a big win to get the first dozen uses.
I agree. In fact, the more I look at this problem, the more convinced I become that coding shouldn't be an end to itself. Very few companies need super-smart generic programmer cut-outs. Instead, they need business folks who can program.

It makes sense if you think about it. If software is truly eating the world, it's an upheaval on the scale of writing. Nobody hires specialized people to write; that's idiotic. Writing is so closely associated with what we do day-to-day that whatever your job (in the business sector), you're expected to be able to form a sentence and write it down. Same goes for programming.

I have no idea how long it will take to fully make the transition. A hundred years? Twenty? It'll be interesting to watch, though!
BaaS at Scale
Why JSON resume is a joke?
I guess that having a nice separate character generator ROM for use with their TTL monitore (both for the CGA and the MDA) wound increase the cost. Damn bean counters.

I remember the frustration that my Apple II+ with Videx card (plugged to a monochrome monitor through composite) had nicer looking text than the IBM (mono CGA on RGBi) next to it. Even more infuriating, it was also better than the much better specced Apple IIe that sat to its other side (and used the stock font for 80-column text). And yes, even under PAL-M (PAL with NTSC timings), 80-column text on a color composite screen was awful. My II had a switch installed to turn off color signal generation, making the text much more readable.
Everything in your comment is belied by the evidence. Yes, NASA's attention to detail certainly does reduce the risk involved, and there have been numerous HN articles about its software processes, such as:

There's no evidence of that whatsoever. OSHA, for example, has vastly reduced workplace fatalities and injuries.

We couldn't even detect a planet larger than neptune inspite of having hubble telescope. I am vary of such articles which just collect positive instances and blow the trumpet.
Completely agree. We probably need more than 20 years to build and test the infrastructure and logistics to send someone to Mars (little things like the actual vehicle to get there is barely more than a pile of concept drawings). And that's assuming we don't continue our history of changing NASA priorities completely every couple of years. Maybe in 100 years.

> "business" thinks is needed while the "developers" think is not

Some correction here: "business" thinks is needed, while "developers" think is impossible. Have you really never seen that happen?

Then, a developer gets a great idea that turn an impossible idea into a possible mega-project. But, for lack of experience with this kind of project, thinks it's an small, viable one. Then, the project fails - big duh.

What's a problem here is that all it takes is one instance of this happening to the management to declare its team a failure and replace everything. Without any inspection or introspection. That's (if the history is complete) a profound lack of professionalism.

Slightly off topic, but I don't see how this is similar at all to the Apple Watch. What secrecy was there about it, other than the completely normal "secrecy" that every product undergoes when it hasn't even been announced yet?

Apple was extremely forthcoming with details about it from the moment it was announced. They flooded the internet with concrete images, videos, and marketing material for months prior to its release. They had video tutorials on their site showing how to use mostly all of its features long before it was available in stores.

More importantly, the Apple Watch was just the latest product from a long-established product company that was basically printing money from other products. It went through the same development cycle that all their other products go through. This is tremendously different from a brand new, completely unproven company crystallizing out of the dust, given form from hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of investor money, and then being extremely secretive about their only product on which the entire company will be based. Magic Leap and Theranos fit that mold, but Apple most certainly does not.

Furthermore, these promises of "mixed reality lightfields" make even Apple's marketing seem modest.
I have dual feelings with regard to Unity guys.

On one side they did a great job increasing the visibility of C# among game developers, which tend to only switch languages when the OS and console SDKs push them to do so.

On the other hand, they spread the feeling that C# is bad for game development among developers that don't understand "language != implementation" and take their Unity's experience as how C# implementations performs in general.

However I also should say that they are aware of it and planing to improve the situation after their IL2CPP compiler stabilizes.
When I got out of contracting, and later after 2008 business failure, I lost count of interviews that went thus:

"You're perfect for the role", "You have just the skills we need", "you're by far the best of those interviewed"

but by email later, sometimes directly

"we think you'll get bored", "we think you'll leave after six months" etc

(Sometimes, "we think you're a bit overqualified")

For sanity's sake I went on a few contract interviews, and usually got an offer.

My experience was that employers are utterly terrified of someone who's got some entrepreneurial or business history. Sure the money was less, but there many reasons to want to go back to employment.

As they didn't like it, I always wondered why so many invited me to interview when the 5 years of successful business and 4 years of contracting was very clear to see on my resume.
Take a read at the Agile Manifesto, and I doubt you'll find any point there to criticize.

>We're doing pretty well exploring our solar system. I wonder how the jump to other solar systems is going to be once we're 'done' here.

We can reallydo a lot more in our current exploration. Ideally we would have a permanent human presence on the moon and Mars if budgets kept up. Also a good exploration of Europa, Titan and other moons.

As of now we do not have the ability to travel to another solar system in a human lifetime and the technology to do so doesn't even seem possible. No hints at near light speed travel, let alone faster than light.

Let me get this straight. Are you saying that animal cruelty is a non-issue? Or that its just a matter of perspective? Animal farming to me is reason enough for people to take up animal welfare as a cause. I could also add myriad other examples - trophy hunting, dog fighting, pulling out tusks out of elephants while they are alive.
We're "two generations" away from commercial power generation: assuming (big assumption) all goes to plan with ITER, the next tokamak would be a full-scale power-generating fusion plant that commercial designs could be based on. Stellerators are one generation behind that: if Wendelstein 7-X works as intended then the next step would be an ITER-equivalent.
I'm sure it did, to a point. Customers wanted professional-looking results.

But eventually digital became good enough to be largely indistinguishable to the unprofessional eye, while also being 10x cheaper.

Point being: the print shops may have misinterpreted "customers want professional-looking results" as "customers want handmade kerning on offset plates". The specific technique wasn't really relevant, even though it seemed that way to the ingrained pros. (There's perhaps a lesson there to today's web developers who spend their time arguing about frameworks, languages and flat design icons rather than customer-oriented results.)

I didn't program the ARM1, but I programmed the ARM2 extensively in assembler. The ARM2 was very similar to the ARM1 (it had a multiply instruction and a co-processor interface).

The conditional instructions were one of the things that made the ARM really fun to program in assembler. The others being that lovely array of 15 general purpose registers, and knowing that each instruction took 1 cycle (4 for memory accesses) meant that you could optimize the code by looking at it instead of having to run it!

Unfortunately conditional instructions and superscalar / out of order execution don't mix, so they can actually slow your code down now-a-days if you are running on a modern ARM processor.
Yep. You're touching here on one of the common bridges from libertarianism to neoreaction. Libertarianism is based on a handful of simple principles that work -- in theory. Neoreaction takes a step back and looks at the practical issues surrounding implementation of libertarianism (e.g. profit being derived from culture as you mention here), and of the results of libertarianism, and thus all the philosophical deductions and political necessities that result from those considerations.

What methodology do you subscribe to?

Agile, when implemented and executed correctly, really just shortens delivery cycles and allow for small corrective changes along the development path. What it's best at is delivering a product that more closely aligns with needs, than something like Waterfall.

In many cases the overall delivery time might be longer with agile, but the correctness of the project is better. Which means less QA at the end of the cycle, and more throughout the entire process.
