I have been involved in some telecommunications and health care projects in a couple of Fortune 500, using Informix, Oracle and SQL Server backends, which had more GB on their databases than most big data projects I see being tossed around in big data startups.

Of course it is a personal experience and I cannot generalize, but on those projects we had all the scale we needed.

All the issues we had, the DBAs could sort them out after checking the query optimizers and fine tune the model and respective indexes.

>Yes, "anything like this"... TFA links to a simple, one-step app that converts an image to a one-bit black and white image using a particular dithering technique.

And instead of the "converts an image to a one-bit black and white image using a particular dithering technique" part (which is the whole point), some seem to be bizarrely focused on the "simple, one-step app" -- losing the forest for the tree.

>Commenter wanted to know if such a simple "do one thing well" app actually exists.

Commenter wanted to know if any similar thing exists in Linux, for which the obvious deduction would be "something to produce the same results", NOT something necessarily structured as a "do one thing well" app. It would thus be cool if a suggestion also matched that, but still OK if it didn't.

>I think neither of you read the article at all, and based your replies solely on the content of other replies, and if that's the case, it's exceedingly unfair to the poor guy who just wanted a command line dithering app.

First of all, there's no article. It's an app presentation page on John's website (for which I've been a fan for years, and follow his watercolor like apps and other generated painting experiments).

Also, who said that the commenter "just wanted a command line dithering app" or that he would take offense if some GUI app were suggested?

He asked for "anything like this for Linux" -- and "this" happens to a GUI app. How can you miss that and still accuse others of not reading the page?

Maybe stop second-guessing the guy and offending the parent that tried to help with his suggestions?

Parent never said it has to be a CLI app, and he never said it has to be a "single purpose tool" either. And neither "anything" nor "like" imply that the Linux app should fit very specific criteria. The most obvious way to read what he said as it stands now is as asking people to suggest Linux apps to achieve the same results.

Besides there's nothing impolite, much less "exceedingly unfair" (!), about a person trying to be helpful and suggesting several apps that do/might do the same task -- even if they also do another 10 or 100 things.
I've had the frustrating experience of looking on google maps and seeing a town I was looking for not be labeled at a zoom level where I could see where it was in relationship to other towns. But I wonder if part of this is about google trying to funnel users into using maps in a particular way. Is this their attempt to get users to search more and scrutinize maps less?

When was the last time you read a math formula that was two million lines long? I don't see why short variable names would be better. With a proper editor you don't even save on typing and I've never seen code with short names that was easier to read than the same code with variable names of proper length that reflect their semantics (not necessarily long).

I imagine it's due to the lack of context. If you see the date 11/2/12, what date is it? If I'm in America, I assume that it's M/D/Y, making it November 2, 2012. If I'm not in America, then I assume it's D/M/Y, making it February 11, 2012.

I think the analogy here with Wall St is apples and oranges. In Wall st, the security traded is fungible. Here in the ad world, an ad view could be high quality or lower quality. It could be a bot or a human looking to buy something.

I am an engineer who spent 12 years in the ad tech industry. This problem is especially acute in the online video ad side where dollars are exchanged based on views and CPMs, not someone buying something online (this being more accountable is less open to abuse). In my old job, we tested what % of traffic are fraudulent. These traffic are daisy-chained from one ad buyer/seller to the next. Inevitably it will hit someone unscrupulous. In aggregate we found anywhere from 20% to 95% of the traffic we see for video ads to be fraudulent.

There are some very sophisticated bot farms out there that gets around detection, mostly operated out in Eastern Europe and Asia. If you look at Comscore 100 video sites, you can always tell who's gaming the system when from one month to next, an unknown brand just jumped high in the top 100.

This is the reason Facebook had shut down Liverail that they spent $450M on. Super high percentage of ad fraud.

> Scott McNealy said early on that retreating to the Data Center was where companies went to die.

That is a striking thought. I wonder how (if at all) does it apply to open source.

GNU/Linux for example always had strong aspirations for desktop [1], yet this never materialized. The only place where Linux (but not GNU) succeeded in a big way outside data-center is becoming a golden-standard hardware abstraction layer for CPEs, Android and to some extent other embedded computing devices.

Now with Linux ABI being embraced first by Joyent in SmartOS [2], and now by Microsoft [3], GNU/Linux is pretty much all-in data-center nowadays. Does that mean it too, is going the way of DEC and Sun in due course?

[1] See "Year of the Linux Desktop" motto from 1998 is pretty much every year thereafter.

I've got a handful of DLink WiFi cameras that, in my mind, are almost the perfect way to do IoT.

They've got an app and can do all their stuff through the cloud, but I have them running on a separate WiFi network that is unable to access the internet. The cameras don't actually need that access, I just lose the cloud features.

This is, for me anyway, a really good way to do it. Consumers that want the stuff that the cloud gives them (easy remote monitoring, etc) can have it. Consumers like me that would rather roll their own recording system and access the cameras by VPN can do that too. This is possible because the cameras serve up a MJPEG stream at a specific URL, in addition to however they communicate with the cloud stuff.

If DLink does go out of business (I hope they don't because I'm going to buy more of these cameras), all of my stuff will just keep working. I'd love to see more IoT stuff that works this way.
So, a well-educated populace results in less favorable entrepreneurial framework, harder access to capital, more red tape and lower pay? I'm starting to doubt.

>But there is a problem with this graph. By ranking the data like this, we don't take into account the severity of the lies a person makes.

That's the problem? The fact that you take a site at face value regarding its fact checking score, which could be totally BS, partisan, inaccurate, etc., in real life, isn't a problem?

>But look at the above graphs. If PolitiFact was clearly biased, they wouldn't be as wide ranging as this.

That still leaves two ways it can be partisan (or, off) wide open:

1) It can be partial to the shared assumptions/ideology of both parties (who are more alike than different compared to how parties are in other western countries).

2) It can be partisan to one party, and still mark as "bad liars" its people -- only for that party it does it for second players, whereas for the other party it does it for the leadership and first-rate players.

This still gives a total like "here, we have reported on 100 lies from Democrats and 100 from Republicans" thus we're impartial, while still hurting one or the other party far more.

As I posted in another comment, DLink has the right idea with their WiFi cameras.

They've got all the IoT goodness - an app that lets you view from anywhere, etc. But they also function perfectly if they're not allowed to access the internet and expose their video stream in a standard way. It's the best of both worlds.

I've set up my cameras on a WiFi network that can't talk to the outside world. If DLink goes out of business, everything will keep running as though nothing has changed.

In a similar type of helpfulness (though the Google one could replace this in certain cases) helm-dash is an excellent plugin. You can bring up the helm-dash menu and search your Dash docs for functions by name, or search for the symbol at point. I have mine configured to open the docs in my browser, pointing to the local docs.

If you use OS X, something is broken in browse-url (I think) which causes anchors to not get opened correctly (annoying), so I added this[0] snippet to allow it. Not robust at all, but you get the idea. The "open -a" gives window focus to Chrome, mimicking the built in behavior.

It's one of the highest quality and cleanest PHP codebases I've ever seen.

PS: Please pipe all the unflattering comments about PHP to /dev/null, heard them all before.
As somebody who loves startups and small teams, and who has a job working with both small and big organizations, I have been living this scaling thing for a long time.

I'd like to give you a simplistic answer, like "All you need, kid, is a small team! For anything!"

Slogans like that are true, but yet they are terribly misleading, because 1) many organizations are already terribly overstaffed, and 2) it doesn't really help to tell teams "What do I do right now?"

So here's as simple as I can make it:

Good organizations will do whatever is necessary to make things that people want, even if that means instead of programming, the programmers sit on the phone and do some manual chore for people as they call. Before you code anything, you have to be hip-to-hip with some real person that you're providing value to.

But as soon as you have those five folks sitting on the phones doing something useful? You gotta immediately automate. Everything. This means you're going to have all freaking kinds of problems as you move from helping ten people a day to helping a million. You have to automate solutions, access, coordination, resource allocation, failovers, and so on -- the list is almost endless (but not quite)

As they grow, poor organizations take a scaling problem and assign it to a person. Somebody does it once, then they're stuck with it for life. Good organizations continue to do it manually, then immediately automate. Somebody does it once, then the team immediately starts "plugging all the holes" and fixing the edge cases so that nobody ever has to manually be responsible for that again.

Growing "sloppy" means you end up helping those million people a day -- but you have hundreds of people on staff. Meetings take time. Coordination takes time. There are a ton of ways to screw up. People tend to blame one another. Growing good means you can be like WhatsApp, servicing a billion users with a tiny team of folks.

If you're already an existing BigCorp and have been around for a while -- odds are that you are living with this sloppy growth pattern. That means you need to start, right now, with identifying all the feedback loops, like release management, and automating them, such as putting in a CI/CD pipeline. Not only that, but there are scores of things just like that. You have a lot of work to do. It might be easier just to start over. In fact, in most cases the wisest thing to do is start over.

Now picture this: you're an Agile team at BigCorp and you've got the fever. Woohoo! Let's release often, make things people want, and help make the world a better place. But looking around, all you see is ten thousand other developers in a huge, creaky machine that's leaking like a sieve. You go to a conference with a thousand other BigCorps, just like yours. Are you going to want to hear about how it's better just to trash things and start over, about the 40 things you need to have automated right now but don't, or how to make your section of 150 programmers work together; how to "scale agile"?

Scaling Agile is an issue because the market says it is an issue.

We have seen a shift toward increasing corporate influence which may eventually take government anti-roles similar to a Gibson dystopia.

Most of what was in both books required significant advances in biotech and automation. The advances we are seeing around crispr-cas9 and IoT may provide those tools.

I am not a Luddite and I think advancement of tech is almost always beneficial (who uses that tech and how is the question). However, it may be premature to say they both ended up far wrong. They are still very important books to demonstrate the wrong ways to use technology.

Edit: not that governments couldn't take the anti-roles back, but it would need a combination of increased technology and acceptance along with unfettered surveillance using that technology -- zero day Alexa bug for the NSA?

Fascinating question. Every year I develop a learning plan covering major themes (some of these have been going on for more than a decade), specifics inside the theme, how I think I will learn, whose help I will need (person or community), how I will pay back this help or pay it forward, what evidence I will have of the learning ... I also try to make sure that there are at least a few things each year that cross two or three themes. I have a long-term theme on pricing and this year I am spending a lot of time studying platform business models, so I have a set of specific actions that combine the two: organize a one-day event on platform business models, lead the pricing session at this event; advise at least one client on a platform pricing model (I still do some consulting as it help me to learn and share what I am learning); write some blog posts on pricing in platform business models; stretch goal - build some tools to help design platform pricing models and share them.
