It doesn't seem out of line, but there's definitely a better way to handle this. As a senior member of the team, you need to swallow hard, take emotion and ego out of the equation, and handle the situation in a positive way.

While "snapping" isn't unreasonable, the better response is more level-headed.

"I like the fact that you took initiative on something that needs doing. However, we have established ways of doing this. There may also be other things you should be doing with your time instead. If you don't, here, sit behind me and let's set it up together. And in the future, check with me before you jump into something like this."

That's the balance. Firm. Corrective. Accretive. And at the end of the process, you now have a junior dev you can trust to set up servers "your way".
From your comments and reaction to the post I can see why you have been in the same position for 20 years.
I don't think they are lying, just that their perception might be wrong. Or we are only getting half the story - what I often read is women claiming they get hate for being women online, when really they get hate for being radical feminists and telling random people on the internet they are assholes, for example (not saying that is the case here).

I haven't talked to any of them directly, so I don't know who is "somebody, a lot of people, an awful lot"? How many is "an awful lot", what do you reckon? 1-10, 10-100, 100-1000, 1000-10000? Millions? Maybe if I had more firsthand information, it would change my mind.
Thanks for that explanation. Makes sense.

So I started reading this book, and the immediate thing that strikes me is the obvious age bias (against young people) of the author. It's full of phrases like "just out of high school," (about a director:) "looked like an intern." If you're going to throw rocks, etc.

And for the record, I'm 55, work in tech, and yes, ageism is a problem, but this book doesn't seem like its going to help.

No I didn't say that because...

> Are you saying you're 100% comfortable sharing the details of all financial transactions you're a part of with "the world"?

and

> using a Bitcoin mixer is equivalent to money laundering.

Are not equivalent statements.

> Without mixers it quite possible that the details of all of your financial transactions will be public.

Not true since you've forgotten the other option available to me; I don't have to use Bitcoin; you've presented a false dichotomy. I can simply choose not to use Bitcoin, consider mixing money laundering (that is after all its express intent, hiding the source of money), and still keep my financial transactions non public as they are today.
I think that's a bit of a moot point. The exchange rate is about $0.75:$1, but what really matters is relative purchasing power in the worker's own country. The OP was pointing out that for McDonald's to survive in Australia, they had to start offering expensive, gourmet burgers. Australia's minimum wage is roughly $17.25/hr in Australian dollars, so the math works out to be roughly the same.

For those of you starting companies that may one day be worth a lot of money, there is a key insight to draw from this: it is better (from a tax point of view) to be a foreign company than a US company.

This is especially true if you expect most of your future customers to be outside the US.

In the long run this gives an operating advantage to foreign corporations -- again for tax efficiency only.

In the intermediate time frame all governments change their laws all the time, and there are going to be changes in tax rules coming that will make cross-border SaaS sales painful for tax load and administrative burdens, for instance.

Your choice is when to flip your business from US to foreign status. You can see the government attacking late-stage inversions because that is where the revenue and political brownie points are.

This tells you that early-stage migrations are still possible and may be cost-effective for you. At some level, for small companies, practical considerations can be used to offset unfavorable tax rules. (Translation - amounts are small enough to not matter, or be swamped by normal expenses so that they don't matter).

The US tax system is King Canute.

The first result from Google for nodejs worker pool leads to this project: https://github.com/jeffmo/node-worker-pool

The project has only 9 stars on GitHub. While it might be a perfectly fine solution that fixes OP's problem, it certainly doesn't inspire confidence as a battle-tested production-ready library. On the other hand, worker pools and Golang go together very naturally.

The 800 lines are you or your team's own fault; it's just a file run in NodeJS, it's trivial to separate it in task-specific files and load them with either `require` or one of the `loader` projects. Build tooling (what Grunt is) configuration, maintenance and maintainability is also the responsibility of developers.

Of course, the async thing (and such) is something I agree with, newer tooling has iterated and improved on Grunt.

So replenishing venom supplies may result in an increased metabolic load post-extraction, but that increase may not be so much when compared to another method of hunting. For example, it's probable that the heightened metabolic load associated with a python crushing/strangling its prey is a substantial increase from the animal's ~ergodic resting state.

If anyone has numbers on this, please link them!

Also, injections are probably not going to be clean and ideal. Having a toxin that does the job o(1000)-fold with a full delivery volume will still do the job with a tiny fraction of that in the event of a partial toxin delivery. This will still result in the death of the prey with a single, albeit flawed, attack.

and this will merely accelerate the moves off shore as the US tax system and the petulant attitude of US politicians are both out of control. Heck, they seem to taking lessons of how to screw up straight out of Atlas Shrugged.

The real fix is tax reform, not going full on ballistic because companies and individuals are fleeing the taxation tyranny. The IRS long moved from taxation to a political weapon.

What I said is that it's a contentious issue. It doesn't really matter what copyright is meant to be, only what it actually is, and there are both people who belive it's beneficial to society and people who believe it's detrimental to society. The overall effects of leaked material are related but not the same as the existence of copyright. Both copyright and leaks can and do coexist, so even if copyright is a social good, leaks could still be an overall benefit to society. I would say that it's hard to argue that the ability to make and share infinite copies of something at almost no cost is a benefit to society, especially for the spread of culture, but I agree that it's damaging to the concept of intellectual property.

So this issue of leaked materials being overall good or bad is really a proxy for a deeper argument. If you're starting from the position that property rights are more important than the spread of culture and the availability of material, you can still believe that leaks are overall a social good, one which needs to be sacrificed at times for the greater good of copyright and protection of intellectual property. We have to make these kinds of sacrifices all the time, which leads to interesting situations like this.

Sometimes, the best thing for society is that laws are broken, even if those laws are essentially correct. The perfect society isn't necessarily one that always follows the rules, but one that makes the right sacrifices for the overall good. Copyright is probably the best example of this situation. Even if the laws are entirely justified, there are plenty of situations in which innovation happened because someone learned something from leaked copyrighted material.

It's tempting to believe that it's possible to create a set of rules that everyone can agree to and always create the optimal situation, but in the real world, this never happens. The real world is messy, and sometimes entirely justifiable laws have a net positive effect when they're broken.
Theranos.
Here is a more direct answer then. Banning trading with foreign companies would destroy international trade for the company doing the banning. Most jurisdictions view the benefits of that trade to be worth the costs.

As for legislating how you can do transfers/ownership/taxation etc of foreign entities and cash, every jurisdiction in the world already legislates that. This article is about a law firm that exists solely as experts in that area for instance.

Welcome to Iceland where bad bankers go to prison?
Because haters are always more vocal than the average user; complaining is easier (and easier to trigger) than praise.

The Grunt team compares the complaints with the actual amount of users and realizes it's a small (but vocal) minority, and that besides those, tens of thousands of projects use and depend on Grunt existing and staying maintained.

My previous project used Grunt because at the time it was the only tool existing (besides maybe using NPM directly, but using that for web projects wasn't hip yet at the time). We looked at Gulp for a while, realized that yes it would be a more compact configuration and such, but at the same time that it'd cost two weeks to convert the project to gulp without much advantages - builds were a few times a week, so no reason to move to Gulp to speed that up by a few seconds.

Not just drinking water, but what of any liquid sold at the store? How much water does that milk take to produce by the gallon, orange juice, and such. I do know that in many plants most of the water is recycled as its cheaper than sending it out of plant. Even car washes recycle water for reuse.

The free floating anxiety and dislike of the article is a symptom of an architectural/mgmt mistake in the article.

OK so there's a new long complicated extremely labor intensive elaborate detailed process. "Surely there had to be a better alternative?" Yes, yes there is. Unfortunately there are many options.

Now the correct answer would have been simplicate and add lightness. Agile manifesto "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools".

Instead, they found an overwhelmingly clunky and complex (their words not mine) tool to automate the complexity, or at least temporarily abstract it away, or at the very least replace one pile of complexity with another (larger?) pile of complexity.

Lets try a less controversial topic. Getting a pencil. All workplaces have different policies for office supplies. Order your own just like you buy your own clothes. Here's your annual office max gift certificate buy whatever you want. Here's a key to a supply closet. But here, we implemented a 15 page process involving teams of employees reviewing and documenting each individual request for a pencil in meetings. That's the bad news. The good news, is we replaced the original 15 page process with a 5 page process by installing an IBM mainframe, DB2, CICS, and writing a simple COBOL app that allows end users with newly installed 3270 terminals to request a pencil, and now we're better off than "ever before". Now most people would have handed out GCs, given out supply closet keys, or just trusted the employees, so you're going to get all kinds of semi-off topic blowback about how the COBOL program should have been the flavor of the month CRUD web JS framework, or instead of DB2 they really should have used nosql on the cloud so they can scale office supply request to all 100 employees not just a small team. But the real problem that everyone is squirming about is they're doin' it all wrong.
> Anyone know the need for a seperate 'develop' branch

The HEAD of master should always be production-ready code. It is your most-stable branch.

It's necessary to have a less-stable, separate, develop branch where features, bugfixes, etc, that were developed off on their own sandboxed branches can be merged and integrated as part of a development phase.

Even with the most disciplined testing of isolated feature branches, it's not known whether integrating different ones will always work, so it is not even guaranteed that the HEAD of develop will always be stable, let alone production-ready. Even if it is stable, it could not be production-ready for the simple reason that it so far only contains features X and Y, and the next release cannot go out without Z there too, where Z is not merged yet.

As you point out, having master as the most stable branch appears to just be a convention, and it would be perfectly possible to branch a production branch from master and swap the roles at the start of the project too.

I think the convention is like that so that one can immediately build and run the latest production code after cloning the repo, which in my opinion is nice. Besides, with the number of branch switches you do every day as part of normal development, it doesn't seem too horrible to have to do it once, to start working off of develop after you clone the repo - at the end of the day how often do you do that, and how annoying or arduous really is it?
The very strange tale of why the UK Tax Year begins on the 6th of April
Not exactly, unfortunately. (I am as pro-nuclear as one could be). However, all chemical waste can be neutralized and reprocessed (though this might be expensive to do so). Some nuclear waste can't be reprocessed and has to be stored safely for hundreds of years. This scares some people.

However, it's not _that_ dangerous. Even if containment is breached, it generally stays in the same place and can be collected and put back (happened a lot of times).
It bothers me too. The really bad news for American English is that the latest edition of Garner's Modern Usage rates this sense of "beg the question" at "Language Change Index: 4" which means "ubiquitous but..."

I absolutely do not agree, software development can be extremely difficult job (just as like any other ones by the way). It all depend on the environment.

Yes, it's not a physical job, but you have to be able to handle the amount of psychological pressures that is put on you which can be way higher than on other more physical jobs.
Also, at least in Germany, there's some responsibilities that official taxies have in exchange for their quasi-monopoly - transportation duty for example.

This is a double-edged sword as well when thinking about needing to drive a drunk, mentally ill or homeless person, but this is critical for elderly or disabled people. My wife was once refused transportation by a taxi driver when she had just to go two kilometers from the airport with a broken leg (granted, shitty situation for both sides here) - and she got compensation and another driver from the taxi central immediately.

While I'm with you on better regulation, blind deregulation has too much collateral damage IMHO.

>IT teams in place that are at least competent enough to put these devices on a separate VLAN and locking it down.

The problem here is that the way this stuff has grown through the past 50+ years is that IT does "computers" and facilities does "physical security." These realms of responsibility have been seperate, but now are really IT.

Now that everything is tcp/ip, well, everything is "computers" now but many organizations struggle with this. IT departments aren't given these responsibilities and old school bureaucrats and rent-seekers don't want to give this to IT. So a lot of these largely blue collar types just call in some vendor who they can't judge nor can they question in regards to technical topics (yeah networking, PoE devices, IoT, remote connectivity, etc is a bit different than running analog doorbell cable that clicks doors open).

I had this fight recently at work. It was a political shitstorm about IT replacing the old school phone system with a proper VOIP system and to take over physical security keycards. This fight only ended when the VP in charge of those things retired. These people don't want to modernize and if they do, they'll do their best not to do it with IT. They'll just call some shit vendor who will take them for a ride and security will absolutely not be a concern. Of course that'll be easy to hack. No one is auditing this, setting up vlans, applying patches, auditing products before buying them, etc. We're in this ugly transition stage where everything is going to be a 'smart' device, but the people who are used to dumb devices are still employed. They can't be retrained and they don't want to be. Until these people retire, expect more stupidly simple physical security exploits.

This is going to be at anything government or union run. The protectionism, corruption, incompetence, etc will stymy any attempt at best practices, so no surprise to see airports in this article.

It's "lost" if it's taken from where it's needed (the water table near farm land, for instance) to where it isn't (the ocean).

In plenty of areas where water is needed, the time it would take for the big circular arrow "water cycle" to replenish it is so long, it should be considered a finite resource.
