I can't think of one website/company that I would like to have this small town clerk-customer relationship with.

Youtube's recommended videos are unfailingly terrible, and Amazon's recommended products just feel like annoying add-ons that might "accidentally" get bundled into my cart if I hover my mouse too near them. I generally already have something in mind if I want to buy/watch online.

I'll stick with recommendations from friends/actual people. That's why last.fm/spotify has been so great for music discovery relative to pandora/rdio - you can browse real people's collections instead of an algorithm's guess of what you might like.
As an AirBnB host I'm not all that cool with letting out my apartment for a day to someone who won't share some form of proof of identity.

As an engineer I get the privacy concerns so I'm split on which way I sit on this fence but I trust in a large tech company like AirBnB to get security right - so on balance the short term risks of someone abusing my flat outweigh my long term risks of someone getting my passport data.

The first paragraph in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_processing

"In imaging science, image processing is processing of images using mathematical operations by using any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, a series of images, or a video, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image.[1]"

I know it's not the same game, and was never as sophisticated as modern FM, but damn it was addictive, even for a non-footy fan. I might have to take a look at modern era FM.

You can't have contractual agreements that go against the law as it would constitute an illegal contract.

If you have a clause in the contract that requires you to either break the law outright or not to comply with it it will not be enforceable and will be considered void.

I believe Container Engine does a little more than you are giving credit for. Its main feature is that it hosts the Kubernetes master - you don't have to worry about setting up etcd, high availability, or anything else in regards to the master or connecting the nodes. Kubernetes also comes with a UI preinstalled on the master, allowing you to launch services and see info regarding pods, replication controllers, and more, as well as basic system resource usage: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/ui/

This doesn't make any sense, most of the leading countries have far more governmental control over education than the US does.

The Java interop is worse than that of Scala - Kotlin can't represent Java's variance (i.e. existential types) so it has hacks to avoid it. It doesn't have the maturity or ecosystem of Scala. The "pragmatic" design feels like they took a grab-bag of features from Scala and implemented all the simpler use cases individually, with no appreciation for the underlying coherence; IMO the language will not be able to evolve because it has too many special cases. And Ceylon does everything it does but better. Kotlin is a triumph of marketing hype, nothing more.
Reminds me of Dungeon Keeper, a old PC game where you have to build your own dungeon, with rooms for your monsters, treasure room, magic room to research spells, etc. Heroes try to invade your dungeon, and you also have to fight neighbouring dungeons. One of the cool feature was that while monsters were controlled by an AI, you could take manual control of one, going to a first person view and playing like a FPS game.

So yeah, seeing this feels like Dungeon Keeper meets Minecraft. Which could be very interesting if executed properly, but it's not going to be easy.
a great way to start thinking like start ups is to find ways to circumnavigate pesky laws that may be inconvenient for you and to lie about the effectiveness of your product/efforts. I think there will be a great case study published by Zenefits about this.

All code runs inside some kind of a framework. It might be just the OS process framework, which requires you to implement an entry point that handles command line args, and provides you with access to threads and I/o streams. It might be an http server framework, which hands you requests and waits for your responses. Or it could be the web browser framework, with its Page lifecycle and ui events. You're always in a box of some kind; frameworks typically do things like create a different shaped box within an existing one (eg react creates a reactive box inside the browser's event based one). They can create the same shaped box inside different outer boxes (eg a jvm in a web browser and a web server and a console app). Or they can just make a simpler, more task-specific box.

Some frameworks are sandboxes - they don't let you even see the outer box (eg a page running in a web browser can't use the 'OS process' box that the web browser is in). Others give you a way to escape.

Sometimes it makes sense to intentionally box yourself in. It makes code easier to reason about. If there's no possible way for code inside this box to directly access files on this server then a whole bunch of security risks become easier to evaluate. If there is simply no way for code in this box to be multithreaded, a whole lot of synchronization risks just go away.
While I do write SQL during exploration, for the purposes of production systems I've never had a query that I haven't been able to represent using SQLAlchemy. The reason for this is that in addition to being an ORM, it exposes an object-oriented general SQL abstraction layer.

Wait, what? Do they know that you are browsing? Seems also creepy...
Scala's infix operator syntax is very mechanical. Much easier than e.g. Python where you have to remember whether a * b desugars to a.__times__(b) or a.__star__(b) or something else. The IDE support for those and for implicits is very good these days.

The type signatures can be complex but only when you're doing complex things with them - if you stick to doing the kind of things you'd do in another language you'll get similarly simple types.

You're absolutely right that the native stack traces are poor, but you can use tools that understand them better, e.g. Takipi.
Yeah, that's right. I have a house full of such stuff but when push comes to shove, most of it is 'meh'.
As a parent of a school-age child, I hate studies like this. It's exactly the sort of thing that leads to mandated programs like common core.

Here's the thing, my son spends more time doing homework and studying for tests in elementary school than I ever did throughout my entire public education.

I have worked internationally. From my own anecdotal experience, I didn't see a difference in intelligence or ability to do the job between cultures.
So a rational ecology program should advocate irradiating wide swathes of land?

Of course the people displaced from the area didn't disappear, they're affecting wildlife somewhere else. Seems like mostly zero sum in that specific regard.
The only way to fix that is with true school choice options. That way when parents realize it's a problem they can send their kids to schools that make a point to include it rather than the ones that leave it out completely.
My question is why is it that this level of diligence is
applied to the civil aviation industry, and not to something like cars and buses which kill way more people per distance travelled.

My guess would be it's because people like to blame somebody else. If it's a plane then there are large organisations to blame i.e. the airline and the manufacturer. While with cars almost always the blame is with the driver i.e. the people. When it's a manufacturer's fault however nobody bats an eye if they have to recall 500,000 cars to install something that would decrease the risk by 1/10th the amount if everybody uses seatbelts.
The difference is the customers also knew the same amount about the store owner. Oh, Gerald started running the store when his father got too sick to do it and he's been at it ever since. He's been trying to convince his son to take it up when he retires, but the boy only wants to play guitar, and so on.

There was trust because they were all part of a community. That's not the case with anonymous trackers that people aren't even aware of.

How much do you pay per month for:
Apache, Nginx, Varnish, Redis, memcached, compilers, interpreters, Nodejs, Cassandra, Linux, Postgresql?

We used to pay for this stuff - remember Sun? Things change.

I suspect what happened with InfluxData is that being venture funded, they see that the funding environment has changed and are racing towards revenue/cash-flow positive. And clustering as a premium feature is, apparently, the answer.

If clustering had been pegged as a premium feature up front then neither I, nor I suspect would anyone else, have a problem. But it wasn't, hence the sour taste.
And guess what - everybody benefitted

I grew up in a town with <1000 year round residents. We had a general store like this. We avoided the general store as much as possible. Some families went as far as getting their mail through another town because the local post office was inside the store.

The reason is quite relevant to this thread. The shopkeeper, his wife, and all the regular customers who sat around to chat while they drank their coffee were gossip hounds.

People valued their private lives more than letting a social circle they weren't involved in know anything about them. Not who sent them mail, and not even what type of breakfast cereal they liked.

"Everyone benefitted"? Nah, I think you've just heard too much "small town community" bullshit from politicians.

There's a presentation by Stephen Krashen where he talks about the latest research he wrote about in his book, "The Power of Reading".[0]

He addresses the problem of education and the ways it is being done. One really important remark he has made was that one of the biggest differences between children of well off families and others less fortunate is the availability of books: kids of comfortable families have access to more books since they are very young, contrary to their peers. The more important remark is the follow up: libraries tend to offset the impact of economic differences.

It's an interesting talk.

Don't worry it should only take an hour or two; an afternoon at most!
Thanks!

We only use LevelDB for Prometheus's time series indexes, while using a custom-built storage engine for the actual series data. But Prometheus's local storage has always been built as single-node storage without clustering - very much on purpose actually, because we want monitoring and alerting to be decoupled and autonomous enough to not have any hard distributed storage dependencies (as that has a high risk of breaking down when shit hits the fan).

We definitely want to support full remote, distributed, and durable storage for Prometheus, but we still want local nodes to have enough autonomous storage for alerting and short-term inspection of data. Whether some of the technology of the local storage engine will be used for building a clustered storage remains to be seen, but it's likely.

Excerpt:

> But a spokesman for McGraw-Hill said the publisher received no payments from companies whose products appear in the book. ''We have no commercial or promotional arrangements to use particular brands,'' said the spokesman, Neal Allen. One of the book's authors said that the well-known products were included simply to make the math problems more relevant to sixth graders.

For example, the 1995 edition, still in use in many places, introduces a decimal division problem as follows: ''Will is saving his allowance to buy a pair of Nike shoes that cost $68.25. If Will earns $3.25 per week, how many weeks will Will need to save?'' To the right of the text is a full-color picture of a pair of Nikes.
Another word problem, this one in the 1999 edition, gives a plug to Oreos, made by Nabisco: ''The best-selling packaged cookie in the world is the Oreo cookie,'' it begins. ''The diameter of an Oreo cookie is 1.75 inches. Express the diameter of an Oreo cookie as a fraction in simplest form.''

As far as I know, the original suggestion that there was a possible GPL problem was raised by Duncan Bayne on Lobsters. After his story got attention, BMW got back to him.[1]

Without making a big show of this, it would have been much more difficult to get BMW's attention. Duncan tried to contact legal but was refused.

The point of GPL compliance isn't to sue or to shame, but just that: to bring people to compliance. Even in the beginning of the GPL rms said to Eben, "I have a rule. You must never let a request for damages interfere with a settlement for compliance."[2] Legal action is an absolute last resort, usually when years of friendly negotiations fail. All GPL lawsuits I know of only took place after years of attempts to get compliance failed. Duncan just wanted compliance, not legal action.

There are a few different ways in which the public education system doesn't work for people.

Some students want to learn but don't do well in the "system" of public education. This is a pedagogy issue; we're not teaching those kids in the way that they will learn the best. Those kids might benefit from "unschooling", homeschooling, or other forms of self-directed learning.

Some students, mostly in areas of concentrated poverty, are going to struggle in school because of the emotional turmoil of living in poverty. Unsafe neighborhoods, neglectful homes, etc. The school system can't "fix" that by itself.

Lastly, there are students that are simply not smart enough to thrive in academic learning. If you accept that some kids are smarter than others, the natural corollary is that some kids are not as smart. That doesn't mean their worth as human beings is less. It just means we should not be shoehorning them into this terrible "everyone must go to college" meme.
