Whoever wins... we lose. But really, I'm glad that Google has stepped up with their cloud services (they will be revealing more awesome stuff at the GCP Next 2016). And looks like they have the best "cloud core": https://quizlet.com/blog/whats-the-best-cloud-probably-gcp
Here's a better article that discusses that: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2015/04/08/is-your-job-routin...

If your work is just following instructions, then it's probably routine.

As for me, I'd like to see most middle management go away, since I largely see it as a waste (basically, if people know how to manage themselves, you can get rid of most middle-managers).

Oh well, please let us not connect softwaredevelopment and management too much with non-routine work. On a daily basis I see so many people who work on less than 50% of their capabilities because they haven't created routines in their work, thinking that their work is 90% non-routine.

Think about the last time you heard how a developer tells you that you don't need to learn the ten finger system to program well, or that he is capable of using 10-20 programming languages. How can a person think about usability of his software and a debuggable architecture, if he has to think about how to put an "i" and an "f" in the text editor? How much time is left for genius ideas when he has to look up all the time if the current language requires him to write a try-catch or a try-except block?

I generally agree, but there is an important caveat that relates to human social thinking. It is legal to mail spam since the resource burden is on you, it is not legal to fax it since the burden is on the recipient.

The US began with a theory that email was like mail since the recipients resource use was minimal and now treats it more like fax since the senders burden proved even more minimal.

On the web in general, the delivery costs are exceptionally low for the producer leading to the general sense that most content should be long lived and ad free. Especially on mobile, where people with ridiculous data plans have large costs.

Clearly, traditional news publishers have other production costs and a decaying product. But how do you fairly make the distinction between real ones and pseudo publishers in a way that doesn't over-reward being near the blurry lines that separate them?

Normally, search should have a mechanism to specify these kinds of qualities, hence a separate mobile mode in google's search. But Google working out penalties for use of display ad networks (which deliver different content to different users) is a conflict of interest.
Ouch. Meteor's data syncing is great, but it's not a mandatory part of real time.

That said, from their web site:

> Feathers is completely open source and is community supported, whereas Meteor, although open source, is venture backed and has raised $31.2 million to date.

A license is either Open Source (it meets the OSD) or is not. There is no 'completely open source'. I think Meteor's overvalued too, but you're not 'more' OSS than Meteor is.

If you are looking for a bargain with little commitment, you might want to take a look at Hetzner's auction.

https://robot.your-server.de/order/market/sortcol/ram/sortty...

The gotcha is the allowable bandwidth for their auction machines are lower than their normally priced servers.

I got lucky and found a 32GB machine with 4 Samsung SSDs in their auction and it has served me well for testing. I write about it my blog below:

Virding's YouTube presentation at a Clojure conference about this new lisp says this in the caption:

It also knocks Clojure a bit. What do you all think are the "good bits" of lisp that Clojure lacks?

You'd have to be a little bit obsessed to research and keep track of the business model of every site (including the tracking, which may not be obvious).
Which is why I think the long term reality of what we'll end up with is not simply ad blocking but blocking of the privacy violating tracking.

There's two issues here only one of which I think is worth fighting:

1) Do companies have the right to serve advertisements in exchange for consumption of their content? I'd agree they do.

2) Do companies have the right to track your every move across the web and use that to improve the efficacy of #1? Absolutely not.
That's moving the goalpost too far for my taste. But assuming this is true and AWS/GCE are doing this then why are their prices so high?
Hetzner is towards the vey low end of pricing (downside: latency if your users aren't in Europe), but dedicated servers from most providers end up far cheaper than AWS or GCE.

Org-mode supports tags http://orgmode.org/manual/Tags.html

Though "chunking" (group related stuff) recursively is exactly how the brain works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(psychology)
I agree with you that emacs org-mode is definitely not very graphical !

Regarding non-hierarchical information organization however, keep in mind that this article was only a very quick intro to the most basic possibilities of org-mode.

Org-mode actually provides a pretty powerful set of non-hierarchical structuring functionalities by using tags.

Within org-mode you can add arbitrary tags to your items, you can define custom sets of tags for auto-completion, you can get a filtered view based on a tag search across multiple documents and so on (see for example http://sachachua.com/blog/2008/01/tagging-in-org-plus-bonus-...).

In addition to tags, org-mod provides a second similar mechanism with properties (searchable key/value pairs annotations to your items).

So org-mode definitely does not restrict you to a hierarchical organization. It is a very cool tool box that, coupled with the programmability of emacs, offers a lot of flexibility to adapt to your own way to do things.
The implications of leaving women out of technological design
I'm interested by the classification here.

Many backend jobs involve routine work from people who could be doing non-routine work if the CRUD routine job was automated. Within an industry or a profession it seems like there could be a mix of routine and non-routine work.

Similarly, how many people's jobs have changed from being routine jobs to non-routine jobs through either retraining or automation allowing them to take on higher order work? Again, doesn't say.

Also, interesting to note that the actual unemployment rate for routine congnitive, routine manual etc 2009 shock aside doesn't actually look anomalous compared to much of the last two decades of the graph is to be believed.
From the early comments placed here, it is clear that blockchain tech needs to be put to more uses than solving money.

The core of what bitcoin has solved is of course hugely innovative, important, and useful to many people. But it is also grossly mundane IMO.

Enabling new kinds of relationships creates far more interesting and enabling outcomes than value storage or exchange. This is why bitcoin side chains and the wide world of Ethereum will lead to the creation of far more economic value than bitcoin itself.
True, but less heat dissipation means less need for thermal throttling. Even when working on a single thread, thermal throttling is likely to kick in - so yep, a die shrink effectively results in higher performance in such a case.

Hi Mickael!

Each content type consists of the following pieces:

- Node (model) [1]
- Component (visual representation) [2]
- Converter (optional, used to map from and to XML/HTML) [3]

The verbose output for heading1 you see is just the DOM projection of the data, which is custom and can be specified in the Component implementation [2]. Often you need to add extra markup and interactive elements, so that's why for Substance content (data) is not rendered 1:1 but through a custom renderer component.

Please have a look at the examples [4], which includes minimal but functional implementations using most of the available concepts.

In short, the questioning finds that electric cars have a lower carbon footprint then gasoline ones. Here are the most relevant quotes which address that:

"If you get an electric car running on electricity made from coal, its impact would probably be about the same as a gasoline car. If you run on anything else it gets much better."

We don't use only coal for power generation. "Based on the average current mix of renewable and non-renewable electric power sources in the US, the average of well-to-wheels greenhouse-gas emissions for current battery-electric vehicles is 214 g/mi ... In comparison, the average for current gasoline-powered vehicles ranges from 356 g/mi for direct fuel injection to 409 g/mi for traditional fuel injection."
Yup pretty straightforward spillover from Palo Alto -> Mountain View -> Sunnyvale -> Santa Clara that we've been seeing over the last 20 years.
I touch type ("ten finger system") but I can see a point to the argument that it's not necessary to program well.

Typing is only a small part of programming, and touch typing isn't a huge benefit even for that part, considering all the numbers and symbols used, auto-complete for identifiers and keywords, and macros for common idioms.

And it painfully overworks the right pinky.

It doesn't really have much to do with how brain works. Graphical way of arranging stuff is just something you are accustomed to. I find graphical ways of organizing information harder to use and much prefer hierarchical structures.

It's not a knowledge problem it's a process problem. You can get rid of most middle managers but only once you have the conditions in the business where people can be both autonomous and aligned to the business goals.

Most middle managers end up achieving neither, but a layer of management is the default solution that companies most end up with.

It comes back after 12 hours or so, then takes a while to deliver most of the missed messages.

I found this out by breaking a recurring task on a site of mine, which had error logging set to email me. But the task was spinning through a a list of things to process, and throwing/emailing for each item (to a gmail label I only check occasionally). Then trying the whole thing again on the same (now somewhat bigger) list a minute later. It got up to a few thousand mails per minute before Google said enough.

I happened to notice it right away and put the fix in place, but it still took the better part of a day for things to percolate through and go back to normal. I don't think I missed any real mails from real people. They just arrived a day late.
Why I don’t promote
Because to a non-techy, running a messaging server is just as out of reach as running a mail server. It's just too difficult.
I've used both and moved on to prosody. Ejabberd is just too arcane to configure and debug; and openfire is a damn resource hog for no apparent reasons.
I don't get this. They say "Monitoring the state of a Kubernetes cluster is not straightforward using traditional monitoring tools." but they didn't try monitoring it using a traditional monitoring tool. They tried monit, which is a process watchdog that's limited to a single host.

In the end it sounds like they created three things

1) Health checks of a kubernetes cluster's individual components
2) End-to-end checks of a kubernetes cluster's functionality
3) A distributed monitoring system for running those checks

I'm pretty sure they could have plugged their checks into e.g. Nagios (which is about as traditional as you can get) and been fine.

Personally, if I am dumping thoughts out, keyboard and screen works well, especially if it's text heavy and long (like a blog post or story chapter). On the other hand, if am trying to understand something, I prefer a pencil and paper and writing it down and perhaps drawing things makes me understand it better.
I replaced a leaky kitchen faucet with one I bought online. For weeks afterwards, banner ads for that exact same faucet kept appearing everywhere. Did they think I had two kitchens?

I notice the targeted advertising all the time, and I've never been tempted to buy. Their predictive algorithms on what I'd like to buy next are hopelessly wrong and often (like the faucet) simply incompetent.

Central todo-systems never worked for me. I use a combination of calendar entries, mails in my inbox, reminders, post-its, physical notes and text-files. I'm not a chaotic person, mind you, i just feel that forcing every task into the same shape (a line of text) tend to distort real priorities.
Very exciting project, specially the support for custom document schemas.

If the authors are around, I'd love to hear what was their thinking regarding implementing focus and selection, with regards to the inconvenients outlined by the author of ProseMirror here:

In a nutshell, ProseMirror chose to keep contentEditable in order to have browser-level support for spell-checking, screen-readers, RTL, etc.

What are the tradeoffs exactly?

Thanks.

Dell Precision M4800,

There is no other better laptop to do programming or other development in the world!

The keys are soft and silent, has grooves in keys for smooth feeling. Touchpad is sensitive enough to be used without a mouse, I have the VERY important middle key, and left-right click, on 2 places

The build feels solid - despite being plastic, this thing is heavy, its not a toy, it cant be accidently moved on the desk while typing or connecting other devices. There are no stupid led lights everywhere shining up in my face, all the led indicator lights are soft white color. The screen can be tilted anyway, is not glossy. Overall the best computer to work on ever.

The insides are i7 quad core with 32gb of memory, dual graphics cards, an intel and nvidia for gaming.

>From the beginning the web has been about cutting out middlemen.

I don't think that is quite correct. The Internet doesn't function, at all, without 'middlemen' - you can't send an email without involving a third-party, or even many third-parties sometimes. This message took rather a few middle-men to get to your eyeballs.

What I think is that the Internet expanded as rapidly as it did because it is far, far, far cheaper to be a middleman on the Internet than it is in the physical world. In other words, the capital required to get involved in the Internet is absolutely minor - anyone with a computer can expand the Internet horizon, cheaply and easily, for anyone else they care to share the service with.

Where this collides with the cultural reality that preceded the Internet (and this hot mix is still in states of turbulence) is that there was, previously, a huge liability proposition to handling other peoples' stuff for them. Capitalism depended on this liability in order to function (dialectic materialism) but yet we don't have such huge liabilities with the Internet. If someone drops your packet, chances are, someone else will forward it for you on the next, ultra-cheap, try.

So what I think is happening with the current state of the war for paying consumers is that we are swinging back and forth between points of supposed plenty and imposed rarity. Somewhere in that hot mix is the sweet spot where people are happy to pay for content that they're also happy to share freely...
You miss out something there, I think. The $0.008/GB is for the load balancing. On top of that, you still pay for network egress depending on whether it is internally in GCE or to the internet. Those rates are from $0.20 to $0.08 depending on location. (EDIT: For traffic to the public internet)

And those rates are still in crazy territory compared to most alternatives other than Azure and AWS which have equally messed up bandwidth pricing last I checked.

I build caching solutions for customers that want to store their data in S3 or Google Cloud Storage, because the bandwidth prices at the big cloud providers are so out of whack that as soon as someone uses lots of egress (few TB a month or more), you can often cut your bandwidth costs by 80%+ or more by getting some dedicated cache servers to put in between your users and your cloud storage. That is after the rental and management costs for those cache servers are included.

(the reason for this rather than building storage solutions is that if the above fails you don't lose data. If you trust your abilities or service provider, building a multi-location storage setup with 3+ times redundancy that beats S3 etc. on cost by a large margin is fairly straight forward... But it's often easier to sleep at night if you have other people do the risky stuff..)

Right.

But, there's still the time cost of commuting. If you pay a premium to live in SF, then you're not going to want to commute 90-120 minutes so South Bay. Then another 90 minutes back at night. In that situation, you'd be paying a premium to live in cramped quarters, in a city with thousands of things to do, but have zero time to do any of it during the week.

I meet people on Caltrain coming from Gilroy commuting to work all the way in SF. Commuting 3-4hrs a day. WTF? I guess there's nothing to do in Gilroy, or they hate their families. Joking aside, the honest answer is the only affordable, nuclear-family homes are in the far-south. (Back to joking. Can we even call Gilroy the Bay-area?)

As it seems to me. When you make the decision to come to the Bay-area.

* You have to decide, do I want to drastically overpay for where I live to be close to SF?

* Do I want to commute 1-3 hours a day?

* Or, do I want to have roommates when I am 30+ years old?
