"Absolutely would have worked" is probably the closest you can get to modern software development ;)

Or more seriously put: It's a concept for a machine with 55k moving parts and powered by a steam engine. "Would work" is probably a bold statement considering how far off theoretical designs always are from the engineering reality, by all experience.

I think it would be trivial for Google to demonstrate that this group is attempting to deceive the public to take advantage of the good will Google has and questionable behavior - like we have here - could negatively impact Google's brand.
I worked for the company ostensibly as a developer, but my formal qualifications are in network engineering, and ops (we used to call it infrastructure) is what I did before I jumped to web work.

When none of the developers are particularly experienced with ops, how do they know whats required to do ops?

Im not saying someone *can't& be skilled at dev and ops. I'm saying the 'normal' result I see, is that management (and some developers) assume any developer can do anything an experienced ops can do, and write that fancy javascript widget too!
That explanation requires a deeper understanding of QM which is difficult to explain via analogy.
That seems like a rather unlikely scenario. People don't just decide they want to die on a whim. And it's not like in countries with legalized euthanasia you can just go to a doctor tomorrow morning, declare you're not feeling so well, and you'll be scheduled for termination later that afternoon.

I for one would not assist in any suicide without knowing why someone wants to die, and given that my country has a process that allows for legal euthanasia, I'm not sure why your hypothetical family member would ask me to commit this crime rather than going through official channels, especially since we are apparently so estranged that I was completely unaware of her struggles and death wish until this request. The best I can do in your scenario is warn the authorities of the suicide risk, and recommend that she does not throw herself in front of a car or train, because it's so extremely inconsiderate towards the driver and/or passengers, and is that really the way you wish to go / be remembered?

Oh, and perhaps recommend that if for whatever reason she does find the opportunity to kill herself, don't try to poison yourself unless you really know what you're doing. Killing yourself with an overdose of painkillers sounds like a really good idea at first, but it's likely that hanging yourself or cutting your wrists doesn't seem like such a bad way to go in hindsight, when you're dying of liver failure over the next few days.
Strata 2016: Docker for Data Scientists
A number of years ago, upon getting a Jury Duty notice, I took an observational look at the security of the jury registration site. It quickly became apparent, without exploitation that it was XSS and SQLi vulnerable. I immediately reached out to the local court IT director with a disclosure, ensuring that I was as clear as possible on the fact that I did not exploit the system. She contacted me within an hour and I worked with her office over the course of the next several months to confirm the vulnerabilities and in the end, retire the solution entirely by justifying the budget for replacement. I went from an annoying security researcher to valuable partner. Later that year a number of developers from her team joined me for my annual DEFCON outing and were extremely grateful for the discovery and how I handled it as they'd been trying to get the solution replaced for years.

Unfortunately a lot of people either don't know where the line is or don't have the skills to know how to not cross the line. Far too many times I see people toss a tool like SQLMap at something rather than understanding how SQLi works. If you understand SQLi, honestly there is very little need to run an automated discovery and exploitation tool against it, even in cases of blind SQLi, that comes when you have permission which in my experience isn't hard to get if you come to the table with credible observational security findings.

This particular case appears to be a cut and dried case of attempting to use hacking for political gain.

If that was a consistent pattern, maybe, but I am yet to hear of it.

Maybe it's automated, sure. Maybe it's not directly intended. Doesn't change the outcome.

Also, no, everyone is racist and sexist to varying extents, it's not a binary. Humans are imperfect.

Finally, they are worried!
Every single friend and family member who I know in or who at one point lived in Venezuela has either been robbed, assaulted, kidnapped, shot, or murdered.

This is indeed sad; I visited Venezuela in 1971 when I was in 4th grade, and it was beautiful.

Then again, we noticed houses with high concrete walls with glass embedded in the top, and our visit to the ... zoo? in Caracas was aborted when we noticed an armored fighting vehicle parked right at the entrance, we and the driver/guide agreed, nope, not today.

> If a user is to run a "node" on their PC, how will the network react if a friend/follower is offline when data is requested from them.

There are some things currently in development such as IPFS clusters that can tackle this issue. There's also the IPFS filecoin token (not yet live) which would provide an incentive for people to keep the hash "alive". This is similar to how Ethereum's Swarm will work.

In the meantime the gateways mentioned in a comment bellow would act as a sort of "seed" even if the OP goes offline.

> will a node be runnable on a home server system, allowing for higher-availability and easier backups of personal data?

I don't see why not. Remains to be tested though :)
The problem is with source theft(cut paste):
http://majadhondt.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/googles-9-lines

Clearly what they did is read how the code in question works, then stole the idea to do it their way. They were looking at the source code! They did not start w/ API, there is no clean room argument that can stand ground to reason. I blame the Oracle lawyers for loosing.

So your having to Google for five minutes when doing a major version upgrade is the biggest flaw in modern postgres? Oh come on now.

P.S. pg_upgradecluster in Debian would probably do this for you without googling

No chip on my shoulder, nor assumption you're a developer.

You said: "Originally yes, it was about being more cross functional instead of separate silo's."

Which strikes me as the continuation of requiring someone to be familiar with everything in the stack. So you get people who are mediocre at every skill they need, and not particularly good at any single task.

Also, you said: "However operations people had an issue with that"

Not in the slightest. As an ops person, I embrace the DevOps model. My problem is when someone like yourself makes a broad, unsubstantiated generalization such as this.

Ops people want systems to run smoothly, and also want to have a life outside of work (I'm assuming? Perhaps another broad generalization). DevOps means I work with developers to ensure their code works as expected in production as it did in development and staging, and that they're not just throwing it over the fence to me and hoping for the best.
Except apples and oranges apparently.
Yep, I'm open water certified so I understand the hazards. People still die doing it all the time.
In science and technology, it doesn't matter where a scientific study was done. We have central repositories and conferences where applications from all over the world are welcomes, and the best achievements are included.

The difference in Philosophy is the default is assumed to be European philosophy. A Chinese paper has to be exceptional to be included in an existing course, where most things are directly derived from European philosophy. It is not a fair playing field at all unlike STEM. The course designer is not fetching a list of all studies in the world done of a topic x, and then a panel is not debating on which of these studies has a most merit. The course creators are taking discussion on a topic X from whichever study is done in Europe. If this is how we start carrying out STEM research, we'd have a hard time to say the least.
I wonder if there's room for an entrepreneur program for young people that are suited to that sort of thing.

Something that would help boostrap lower cost / lower risk businesses they could start, training, bookkeeping, mentors, access to small loans, etc.

There are some small businesses that are fairly immune to failure provided the owner has some amount of hustle. Things like becoming an in-home daycare provider, cleaning windows at small businesses, mobile pet grooming, power washing, etc. If there were some way to vet specific skills of the applicant, you could a few more to that list as well.

I suppose it wouldn't make a huge dent, as only some fraction of the kids would be suitable for that sort of thing. But, it seems worthwhile to me.

City subways systems take decades to build. Public transport is a shambles outside high density cities, and in many of those. Here in SF, it takes me an hour to get downtown by bus or subway, and 10-15 minutes by bus.
The part about "The bacteria's ability to oxidise methane and carbon dioxide is of particular interest." -- which seems to mean "ability to oxidise carbon dioxide" -- can't be right. Maybe the meaning is methane to CO2?

How can you still extract energy from a O=C=O molecule without using something like flourine? On the other hand, how does the CO2 get back into the carbon cycle? Do the organisms use an endothermic process to get the carbon back?

And has the 10% oxygen content been there since the cave was opened? Or was this the first mass extinction? While the water does not reach the cave, is there a way for air to make it through? I would expect no oxygen otherwise.

Why You Should Stay in Silicon Valley
I agree that GNU man pages suck. At least the atrocity that was "this man page is a stub, use info for the real docs" is gone now (I don't know if GNU stopped trying to force me to use info, or if distros fix it downstream). I have always hated info and the persistent nagging that GNU docs used to try to make people use it.

SmartOS is nice. I've always thought so and I have a lot of respect for the folks working on it. But, it isn't nice enough to overcome the negatives of being a tiny niche system. Linux has orders of magnitude more people working on it (and many of those people are also very smart). That's hard to beat.
It's a needless way to alienate State and citizenry.

Sure, I understand why this kind of thing tends to happen, but the result is no less insidious for it.
I am primarily a C++ developer. I used to alternate between emacs and eclipse depending on whether I needed IDE functionality or not (you can argue about whether one "needs" an IDE, but when browsing unfamiliar code, "find where this function is used" or "go to where this function is defined" are incredibly useful, and grep doesn't always cut it).

Then a coworker introduced me to this thing called "rtags". You run a daemon that understands clang and (some set of build tools) and it handles your IDE functionality for C++. You then get the right rtags plugin for your particular editor, and use that to glue your rtags to whatever editor you use.

I still use emacs for this, but I am actively looking at the family of more modern emacs-inspired editors, such as sublime, and atom, that represent newer iterations on the old idea of a simple GUI editor with a rich extensible scripting environment.

I am very excited about the idea of a future in which your "IDE" isn't a standalone monolithic piece of software, but something you cobble together out good, minimalist, scriptable editor and a grab bag of services and plugins. I'm almost wondering whether things like Eclipse and Visual Studio actually look a lot like this concept if one looks "under the hood"

I am idly curious, by the way, about things that are like rtags, but for statically-typed languages other than C++.
“The Fates lead those who come willingly, and drag those who do not.”

But you really want to avoid discouraging your infantry from being in the vicinity of your tanks, they are a key part of a combined arms team, critical in the field to keeping the tanks alive with their better viewpoints. In cities, where the infantry play the key role and use tanks as mobile pillboxes, you certainly don't want to discourage them from calling up tanks as needed....

I find this short piece released by a South West London estate agent rather appalling.

Most disgusting is how the situation of not being able to afford anything in London is being framed as a shift in the attitude of consumers and you buyers.

The problem is that not even middle class residents can afford to buy a basic property. It is definitely not that these people have chosen to rent instead of buy.

ATVs have a very different market – with different needs. UTVs are for commercial use, where a high payload is useful, such as construction. It's clear they're not a consumer company, which is why they aren't offering an ATV.
reminds me of what Donald Knuth had to say about academic specialization in Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About:

There might be some light on the horizon, however. I predict that in the not too distant
future, people in acamedmic life are going to define themselves not by one specialty
area, but by two sub-specialties that belong to two rather different main specialties.
This means that we'll have a web of interests, in which each person will serve as a
bridge between different parts of the overall structure. You can see that this is much
better than having a tree hierarchy that branches out further and further, with nobody
able to talk to the people on other sub-branches. We'll have people that each belong to
two areas, in two different parts of the overall structure. Then we'll be able to have
some hope of coping with new knowledge as it comes along.
Of course the super-rich are going to get coddled. If you are in a position of influence they can throw $100,000 to a million dollars your way to make sure you enact the policies they want. This can be in the form of consulting gigs or speaking fees or what have you.

Point is, the money is literally chump change to them.
I'm not an expert, but here's how I see it...

There are different ways to create GPU drivers for Linux. In order to make use of DRI, the GPU has to have a DRM driver. This DRM driver is specific to the GPU hardware.

The DRM is the interface that software can work with to make calls to the GPU. You could think of DRM as a way to have a standard interface for GPU calls, so other software will speak to this DRM layer, but the DRM driver will speak to the hardware, which is why the DRM driver needs to be device specific.

The DRM driver is the part of the GPU driver that sits in the kernel, there will also be a userland part of the GPU driver. I believe the part of the driver that gets used will depend on what the software is targetting. Wayland will target the kernel side, but games would work with the userland side.

These images from Wikipedia may help visualise what DRM is doing. Without DRM:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager#/medi...

With DRM:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager#/medi...

As a side note, it's possible for GPU vendors to create more generic GPU drivers by using Gallium3D. This also creates drivers that work with DRI, but GPU drivers don't need to use Gallium3D to use DRI. I would suggest thinking of Gallium3D as a set of reusable GPU driver components, you could code a driver using these reusable components, or you could code something bespoke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D

In terms of Wayland in particular, you may be interested in this:

Thanks man. To answer your question about load balancing, it is made via the 'leveroshost' agent itself. Each contains a HTTP/2 proxy that routes and loadbalances traffic as needed. Each RPC goes through 2 of these agents: one on the node originating from and one on the node going to. The decision of where to send the request next (load balanced / routed) is based on information from Consul.

There's a balance to be had, and there's very likely different periods in a business lifecycle where some environments make more sense than others.

There's a pretty big cost to learning how to manage and get value all the AWS stuff, and in the early days of a project - especially true in the 'startup' world - there are probably more areas where $ can be spent to create more value.

I've seen far too many people spin up multiple AWS and tie themselves to expensive AWS setups when a small linode or other VPS (managed or otherwise) would have been more than adequate for the first year.

There's this weird view people that have it's either 100% AWS or hire full time developers and buy a bunch of bare metal. There's a lot of middle ground which can provide a good amount of value while giving you time to ramp up.

The fact that you're referencing tying VPNs to a corporate network means you're already far more advanced than a lot of the smaller orgs I've run in to tying themselves to AWS when far less expensive alternatives exist.

Again, saying this as someone who uses and likes Amazon stuff, just not exclusively.
And how will I keep my non-paid internship? I can't show up reliably, because my McDonald's job has variable hours and I only get a day's notice.

And how will I afford my studies for chemical engineering? I can't even afford community college on minimum wage, and no one will hire a Chem E without an accredited degree (for good reason). I can take EdX courses (not free if I want certification), but they can't ever equate to in-person courses and real college students are holding protests to ensure that doesn't change.

And how will I set aside time for nightly coding? My McDonald's job is a zero-hour contract, so I'm not guaranteed any work on a given day and can't budget. Meanwhile they'll fire me if I turn down a shift, so I'm on TaskRabbit and Mechanical Turk trying to make quick cash at $3/hour because I can't accommodate a second real job.

In the meantime, my job isn't a stepping stone to shit except nightshift manager, because the post above that requires a college degree and doesn't privilege current employees.

Sure, there are jobs out there to get, and there are ways to self-study and get ahead. Granted. So yeah, lecture your unemployed cousin about playing Call of Duty instead of getting a night job. He's a lazy slob and he ought to do better.

But it's the height of condescension to say that structural unemployment and negative real wage growth are happening because people suddenly got lazier. Don't come and tell me that "work is a four letter word" when we have the same 13% poverty rate we've had for forty years. That's not lazy teens, that's the world you live in.
