> Philo T Farnsworth, one of the inventors of television

The (very) old game show "I've Got A Secret" had Farnsworth on as a guest, with his invention of television as the "secret".

Player: "Do doctors use this object?"
Farnsworth: "Yes, it's been used in surgery."
Player: "Is this some kind of machine that
is painful when it is used?"
Farnsworth: "Yes, sometimes it's most painful!"

It uses the iOS simulator, so that's likely the hard bit to port.

I figured I'd add my anecdotal experience from the perspective of a student, having been to college before and after every answer was online. My experiences are mostly interacting with non-international students as well.

As far as cheating on homework, I feel like it is quite common to just look up answers online, and many people are quite open about doing so.

It comes in different forms. There is what I consider "soft cheating," where people will work on a problem and look it up if they can't figure it out. They intentionally penalize themselves a few points, or if they can't understand how the answer was arrived at tall they will intentionally leave it blank or leave a wrong answer. One time a person I knew refused to write something for an answer even though I thought he understood and explained it to him (talking about homeworks was allowed as long as you list them as a collaborator), because he didn't think he could put it in his own words.

Then there are people who flagrantly don't care, or don't see it as a problem. Often their justification is that the university system is a sham, or that everyone else does it. Some people seem to have gotten through by relying on homework helper sites, and scrape by just on getting perfect homework schools while bombing tests.

I feel like I have to compete in this environment, but see it as a personal challenge. The problem is that I suspect professors have adjusted by over-assigning homework to compensate, so it makes it more time-consuming to do well. I personally feel this is a broken situation.

Professors should probably change their approach, and just outright allow the use of secondary sources as long as they are cited. I know a few who seem to implicitly allow this, but most students fear citing work as possibly indicting them as cheaters.

I'd view this as a temporary solution until we figure out a better approach that maintains institutional academic integrity, encourages learning, and fairly evaluates performance.
Why not? Thousands of app companies exist on one-time payment for many years, releasing payed updates sometimes. MacPaw is a good modern example.
But people's time is always a limited resource. Even in a utopia where the cost of living comfortably is zero and people are immortal, spending an hour providing a service to another person carries an opportunity cost.

So, under this definition there is always, almost tautologically, a scarcity of labor. The word has little meaning, and discussion of whether or not there is such a scarcity becomes irrelevant to decisions about things like public welfare or economic policy.
If I was in your position I would begin looking for a position in another company in a similar role (it's not clear what type of projects your are taking on.) It's great that you have been provided with mentorship & support, but, working 10 hours a day is not sustainable over the long term. This company sounds like many others in consulting; get bodies in chairs, sign on more business than can be handled, and crack the whip.

Start out attending technical meetups (the language your are writing in or a topic your are interested in, preferebly both) in your locale. Build your professional network and don't feel bad about asking if a company/startup is hiring. I would also start saving every last dime in case you get to the point where you are completely burnt out and just have to quit (not ideal, but might happen.) You are probably going to have to slog through a bit more before you find an opportunity.

You can squash commits locally before pushing. I'm not a fan of "one commit per feature", but I still use interactive rebase on my personal branch to combine (or split) commits before merging it with an upstream branch.

To avoid cluttering the main repo but still have a backup, you can just use a fork (even just a directory on a remote server).
I speculate that Ansible choose YAML under the premise that it would lower the barrier to entry as opposed to a real language like Python or whatever. That would be nice if everything were just a matter of configurations, in which case YAML would be just as good as JSON, if not better.

The problem is that because people want logic, Ansible ended up introducing an idiosyncratic YAML-templating language that's not actually YAML or anything else. Now people write large system deployment scripts in this weird YAML that I don't ever want to look at.

Although Thiel was involved, I'm not sure it's clear just how much his financing mattered.

I do agree with you that there's too much "money=justice" in the United States though.

Part of the problem with this case I think is less politics, it is the people involved. I do not have high opinions of Hulk Hogan, and there's a certain irony that this case also round-about involves Bubba the Love Sponge, a radio shock jock that from my viewpoint is about as scummy and ethic-less as Gawker in his career.

What Gawker did was scummy though, and I have no problems with the outcome.

Anecdotal hand-waving BS: Something I've noticed over the last several years are people who feel so victimized in some way that they actually begin acting like their victimizer. Gay people who anonymously act violently homophobic. Black people who paint KKK images on campus property. Weird.

I'd guess it's just a very small minority of people who are like that, but online, in aggregate form, it could turn into a significant number. It'd be interesting to see some stats about this.

>P.S. I've spent a fair share of time in Detroit/Michigan and the area and as much as I love being able to buy a city block there, I can't live in a place that calls soy sauce on rice "Fried Rice".

While Detroit doesnt have a huge asian population, and thus doesnt have great asian food - it does have huge middle eastern and mexican populations. You can get some of the best mexican, greek, and middle eastern food you'll ever have right in Detroit, as well as Detroit specialty foods like Coney Dogs, Detroit style pizza, and Hani.

Detroit is well regarded for its food, so its surprising for me to see someone disliking that part of the city.

It does confuse anyone who has pulled before the squash, but if you're working on feature branches, then there shouldn't be anyone else who's working on the branch. If the feature is too large for one person, let's say you have 5 people working on a feature branch; then each one of those 5 people should be branched off the feature branch, for the same reason.

I've been scripting php and python for about 10 years, and it's incredibly fun to me. It's like a lot of trial and error while trying to create a 'structure' and it's really fulfilling when it all works in the end. Even though I go to google for specific things like how to get a div in beautifulsoup, I still have to create all the logic and figure out specific things. I actually would not call myself a programmer as I've only been doing this for fun and for helping someone I know, but it certainly feels like I create more than just cut and paste or whatever, and I've also always had a feeling that I wanted the simplest solution possible and not stack endless libraries or frameworks on top of one another
The supply chain isn't set up for metric. Steel supply in the US is mostly set up for imperial measurements. If you want 500 metric tons of steel the guys at the foundry will convert it to imperial before the order gets put in. The guys at whatever machine shop is finishing them will convert all the dimensions to imperial before finish machining. The guy doing the final calibration will convert to imperial before doing his job (probably a combination of drilling holes to remove material to get them just under the target weight and then adding precisely weighted chunks of steel for final calibration). Why not just have the conversion be the last step. Saves effort and reduces screw-up potential.
But even with occasional issues like this one, it's already half as likely to cause accidents than a person[0]. At this point it'd actually be a worse for us to not test this on open road.

But it's clear the vehicle had time to react and didn't until the crash was imminent.

Being against female promiscuity while praising or ignoring male promiscuity is definitely misogyny.

Edit: Additionally, being against both in the current society is, while not necessarily misogynist in itself, contributing to a misogynistic society - there's many more people who will speak up to tell a man that the weird-ass person who told them they're bad for being promiscuous is wrong then would tell a woman the same, the result being that telling a woman that she's bad for enjoying sex has more impact than telling a man the same. You don't actually see many masculine-gendered terms for shaming the enjoyment of sex, and those that do exist are not used in a derogatory context very often.

And this: http://www.cbinsights.com/blog/startup-failure-post-mortem/

Personally I'd like to see a post mortem for companies that collapsed. Sometimes they are the only historical record we have of these businesses.

So frequently founders and investors rush to burn the evidence of their failures before the lessons they learned are ever taught, and the business completely vanishes into the ether as if it never existed.

There's a lot of value in documenting and aggregating data in companies that failed for whatever reason. Not only to apply the lessons of failing but it does a great job of logging the industry zeitgeist, seeing what trends in ideas we thought were worth investing in that turned out to be duds, what flamed out and then sprung back years later. Too much of that data has been lost over time, it's a real shame.

if you have to stay aware of road conditions with a risk of serious injury/death for not doing so, what is the purpose of using an auto-pilot feature?

I suppose you could go hands free because in the event of a road hazard you might just have to brake (although coming to a stop on a highway is dangerous - the person behind you might not stop).

For me the value of an auto-pilot feature is the gain of time. One can respond to emails, read, field a call w/out risking the safety of themselves or others, etc.
> If I want to rebuild my machine same as before, or deploy build 100s of servers at different points in time with the same setup, reproducibility is necessary.

No it isn't.

Reproducible is talking about the process or steps needed to make a machine. You do not need to repeat the steps to produce the first machine to produce the second machine. You can simply clone the first machine, and Docker makes this very easy to do.

Keats begins his article with the statement offered, without justification:

In this post I'm going to assume that reproducibility is good and necessary.

Since I don't believe that, and in fact believe the opposite, I take issue with the entire article. Indeed, he goes on to construct a straw man comparing the exact opposite of what I propose -- a non-interactive "dockerfile" and not even a particularly good one, with a very well thought-out "purely functional" build system.

> Any significant contribution you might have for software engineering in regards to that?

I don't know of any big technology company that doesn't design their live infrastructure around ephemeral machines cloned from a template.

They don't all use Docker, and they don't all use interactive development, however, but these two tools can make it easier for people who (for example) don't have Google's economy of scale.

> Should deployments be a surprise?

No they should not.

Deployments take less time with my interactive method because you do not have to wait to "rebuild everything" which can take hours.

Remember heartbleed? People using nixos had to rebuild every component that used OpenSSL, then test them, then find something else broke and repeat the process. Only once they had finished building their new process could they roll out this process to all machines, doing one more final rebuild. Even if done perfectly this has a minimum of two iterations.

I could simply create a new clone, get it working, then tag it as the next release. New instances can then be cloned from the release, monitored, and the old instances destroyed. The entire process took under an hour for the entire fleet, including reading about heartbleed on HN. This is clearly almost as fast as running `apt-get dist-upgrade` on each of the live systems, but without any of the risk.

The organisational complexity, however is admittedly much higher than "wash, wait, repeat", which is why most system administrators could not even begin to use live clones until virtualization and tooling had become much more commonplace.

> I can't even tell what you mean.

And yet you feel qualified to tell me I'm wrong.
