Some military training is designed to change personalities. The USMC does this deliberately.[1] They use sleep and food deprivation. This is not done to "toughen up" recruits; it's done to change their value system. Gen. Krulak, when Commandant, devised this in the 1990s.[2]

Krulak himself says it best:

"We cannot anticipate and train Marines for each situation they may face. All Marines must, therefore, possess a moral consistency to serve as their compass. Making the right ethical decisions must be a thing of habit. This is why we created the Transformation process where we recruit bold, capable, and intelligent young men and women of character and recast them in the white hot crucible of recruit training. We immerse them in the highest ideals of American society -- the time honored values of our Corps -- honor, courage, and commitment. We place these values on them in a framework of high institutional standards to which they are held strictly accountable. We further foster the acceptance of these values through the unit cohesion and sustainment phases."

"Just as we expect a Marine to employ his weapon under combat duress, we must likewise demand that he employ his mind. Marines need to be comfortable with using their intuition under highly stressful circumstances. In short, we must make intuitive decisionmaking an instinct, and this can only be accomplished through repetition. Training programs and curricula should routinely make our Marines decide a course of action under cold, wet, noisy conditions while they are tired and hungry and as an instructor continually asks them "what are you going to do now, Marine?!!"

In general, yes, they might favor the government point of view. In this case however, they'd be asked to judge one of their own. ("that could be me") That balances things off pretty well.

For sure, it's a more caring and accurate group of people than the usual collection of students, old ladies, and unemployed people.

It'd work fine.

> Also the UK will want a super fast negotation, the rest of the EU are not so much in a hurry.

It seems to be rather the opposite. The EU is calling for fast negotiations whereas the UK is taking it easy.
Distributed orchestration software is only just starting to become usable. See http://rancher.com/... I wouldn't call infrastructure software dead. It's the beginning.

I think the problem is that most existing tools/engines/components which make up software systems (e.g. databases, memory stores, frameworks, etc...) were designed to run on a single machine and so far, it's been the DevOps' responsibility to scale them manually. Even for those components which DO support clustering; their approach is often not compatible with most orchestration systems (they tend to micromanage the cluster - Instead of micromanaging the cluster and thereby fighting the orchestrator, the focus should be on writing simple hooks for the orchestrator to invoke).

Developers of tools/engines/components need to change their mindset and start building engines from the ground up to run on distributed orchestration software like Kubernetes, Swarm or Mesos and automatic scalability has to be BUILT INTO every component/service.

A major problem is that there seems to be a massive skill divide between DevOps/SysAdmins and Software Developers - Software devs think of systems like Kubernetes and Swarm as being the responsibility of DevOps people and don't spend enough time thinking about how it impacts them. This is the wrong attitude - The two skillsets need to converge in order to build effective solutions.

Orchestration management tools are the new operating systems - In the same way that one can build apps/systems which are compatible with Linux, Windows or OSX, we should build apps/systems which are compatible with Kubernetes, Swarm or Mesos.

There is more to these orchestration tools than just writing up config files - The code within the components themselves have to be designed to play nice with the automatic scheduling/orchestration requirements.
I am a high school dropout in India. How can I make it to the US with an H1B work visa (or some other country in EU) ?

I've had (technical) job offers from US, Germany, Denmark, Japan, etc. but all of them have had issues with this.
Here's another example of what I'm talking about from a recent post on HN [0]. Specifically in that post, an email correspondence goes like this: "Thought sharing this framework with you prior to our convo would make it more efficient. Would love to get your perspective on this when we chat in the morning (your evening)."

See the weird omission of reference to self? Here's something I didn't originally intend to share... The reason I notice this is because I used to type emails like that. I don't know why I used to do that, but I eventually stopped doing it consciously because I thought it sounded weird, and years later noticed it in the situation I mentioned earlier. I find it annoying these days to read people doing it. I totally get what you're saying about ESL, but I'm referring to it happening outside of non-native English speakers. I'm interested in your initial suggestion, though. Thanks!

There's a middle ground - don't upgrade systems for the sake of upgrading, but maybe if you're building something new or working on a sideproject, investigate newer technologies.

I find this coming back from CLR to COM sad because the CLR support another very good language (F#) which isn't in WinRT and also because the CLR is going really multiplatform with .net core.
Also too bad Microsoft didn't pursed a multiplatform framework like Silverlight and go with a solution that didn't even run on its own OSes (previous version of Windows).

He's right. In a dichotomy of revolutionaries vs. monarchists, Napoleon is definitely seen as the former. It's not really as simple as democracy vs. lack thereof. Many of the most radical revolutionaries were extremely undemocratic. At times during the Revolutinary period even suggesting democratic measures (like implementing the Constitution) could get you killed.

This.

First of all, he should define what "infrastructure software" he is refering to.

He mostly talks about OpenStack, AWS ... "services".

But it is obviously not only that. It is low level libraries (C lib), compilers, interpreters, operating systems, graphic engines, virtualization software, etc. This kind of software runs on allmost all deployments out there. It is far from dead.

> In the Hyper-V settings for the VM, set COM 1 to use a Named Pipe

I used to have an RS-232 cable in my office, for Kernel debugging. Before VM prevalence the debugged and the debugee would be two physical machines, linked with a physical cable over their COM ports. Once the VPC/VirtualServer came out with COM redirect and the debugger support for it, I never looked back.

In another life I worked on Windows Error Reporting (WER) - the part of the stack that was responsible for collecting, analyzing and sending reports to Microsoft and even provide solutions to the user based on the analysis.

For usermode problems WER would do a first level analysis on the client by looking at the crashing thread's exception record (1) or in the case of a user mode hang it would do something much more sophisticated called wait chain traversal (2). It would then generate a signature for the issue and report it to the backend via a single (and cheap) http/https request. The backend would then increment a count for that particular signature and if needed, would ask the client for more information about the issue. Among other things it could ask the client to capture a dump of the crashing process and even a multiprocess dump in the case of hang that involved multiple processes (process A waiting for process B waiting for process C etc). The client would do the necessary collection, prompt the user if necessary (depending on the user's consent settings) and eventually send it off. The 2nd level collection was configurable via a internal web portal - teams could look up their top signatures and request for more information about it. They'd eventually get notified once the extra information was collected - for high frequency issues, the turnaround was very quick.

Kernel mode issues aka bluescreens were treated slightly differently. The client wasn't able to do first-level analysis on kernel mode crashes. Instead it would always send at atleast a minidump of the bluescreen to a backend service where a pool of servers would run the !analyze windbg extension in realtime on the minidump.

> As a snarky side remark, what will the UK do in the future instead of continuing to import cars, regardless of terms? Rely on its domestic automotive industry?

One of the more credible arguments for leaving the EU is so the UK can negotiate their own international trade deals, as they feel the EU has been slow in negotiation. Opening up free trade to the US and Japan would probably be a priority.

Isn't the biggest difference that the skins have no real world value other than the market price a person is willing to pay for it? You can't cash them in like casino chips, they are digital goods with no inherent value, you have find someone willing to pay for it.

As a Dutch citizen I very much feel kinship with people who happen to be from the other founding countries D, F, B, L, I. I speak their languages, I know their typical strengths and foibles, I've visited their cities, I know their history. We've been together for 70 stable years. The ministers of those countries are convening right now. And I very much agree with the words of the German minister Steinmeier "that those countries won't let anybody take that union away from them".
It's clear that the City will be impacted by this, but bear in mind that for the last five years the UK has been fighting to maintain it's place vs Paris and Frankfurt. The EU needs to implement a single fiscal authority to manage the Euro, that will not be based in London, there was never any prospect of that given London is not part of the Eurozone and the UK joining the Euro would destabilise the Euro, the UK economy and the wider european economy. London is inflated like a balloon at the moment, housing is utterly unaffordable and the transport system is totally disfunctional; I've been unable to get in for half of this week due to "floods" normally I can get a train into London with a travel time of 1hr 30min... my record time was/is 9hrs (all trains cancelled, hours waiting for busses, hours on buses, one of my colleagues got home less than an hour before having to leave to go back to work!)

In terms of positives here is a list.

1) People have woken up to the disastrous gap between rich and poor, realizing, I hope, that there is no communication between the provenances and the technocrats and that while you can bully and marginalize the poor you are simply unable to ignore them without resorting to repression. A vote like this is much better than a ring of estates where law breaks down and people are condemned to hopeless disassociation from the society that funds them. Now, will the UK's elite front up and start helping our fellow countryfolk? I doubt it, but that's the test on the table - create meaningful engagement in life and society for the bottom 25% rather than just hoping that they shut up and go away.

2) The EU can now reform its financial and governance arrangements to fit the needs of the Euro, if the EU doesn't do this the Euro is going to collapse, so I hope it does. This will make the EU more prosperous than it would otherwise be. Guesses please - the European state's GDP post a Euro collapse vs. the EU's GDP with a reformed and functioning single currency?

3. The UK will break up enabling Scotland to further develop its distinctive and hopefully very successful economy and national identity, in particular it will be interesting to see if this results in Edinburgh rebuilding itself as a financial centre as opposed to Frankfurt, Paris and London. If I were the SNP I would be planning a bloody great hub airport and some other very shiny infrastructure (high speed rail to Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester? Cross rail for Edinburgh/Glasgow?)

This kind of thinking doesn't factor in how many Robots work in enterprise software. They come programmed.

"There are no actors, only actions." -- Nietzche

It's all practice. So if you practice being a new you, you will become good at being that person. And it so happens that's how we become good at our first selves. We just don't remember it, and it was likely unintentional. As we mature, we are given every right to choose the adult we wish to be, and how to behave. But making the leap requires incentive, intention, and some real effort, because practice is labor. Except when it becomes a labor of love, we become empowered by it, not tired by it. That is why passion is paramount, and we should all have a passion for who we are.
that would be a middlebox thing, not a BGP peer thing.

Mate if you're talking about Ireland then with respect you don't know what you're on about. For starters Ireland is neither a commonwealth country or (as far as I know) a five eyes country. Secondly Ireland is one of the countries with the highest EU approval ratings. And for good reason, the EU has been overwhelmingly good for Ireland. There is literally not a chance in hell of us leaving. Although the relationship between Ireland and Britain is strong, and certainly much better than it use to be, I think most people would be wary of becoming to dependent on them without the EU as a counterbalance given our history.

I've seen this happen before at a company that I'm too embarrassed to name, where leadership started to behave irrationally like ants infected by zombie fungus. The CEO wanted laptops to be stocked in checkout aisles - where impulse buy items go... I knew right then that we were dead. I don't think this guy has fungus on the brain, but there is an unseen cause: maybe it is ISRG eating his lunch, or maybe the thought of Microsoft doing the same as Win 10 pushes into the corporate environment.
Excuses i have heard from Police before for not taking fingerprints are that its not worth it for minor crimes. The cost of forensics is not insignificant and even for theft from a vehicle more than 10 years ago it simply wasn't investigated.

Ok, I'll bite.

I have been doing break-fix for Windows, *nix, and Mac systems for a long time. I have worshipped at the altar of Russinovich and Sysinternals gods for as long. I have wanted to be able to sit with Process Explorer, Process Monitor, and Windbg and know everything that goes wrong with a system from weird driver buginess to Word crash for reasons ignortant users can show me happening once a week but I cannot find evidence. I know the basics, but I really want to go up to the advanced levels with this. After years, Windows is still a black box to me, more than it should be after reading more than basic material, and that upsets me.

I see two problems here:

1) Where is good comprehensive material on the topic?

I see pages like this, but no unified material and training. On the Sysinternals book, I caved and bought the Bible, Sysinternals v6 back when it was current. I routinely show it for geek cred to other IT friends; few even know it exists. I met some more advanced consultants a month ago and learned of the Aaron Margosis companion (https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Sysinternals-Administrators-R...). But for the advanced stuff for WinDbg I know there are tier 2 customer engineers who know stuff inside out who post blogs like this, but find no really thorough books/material/courses I would gladly pay for to learn the basics of this skillset. Advice? Suggestions? I wish Julia Evans (jvns.ca) counterpart exists for the beauty of Windows debugging tools, but I have not found her/him/it yet.

2) Does tooling exist beyond the Sysinternals and debuggers I keep missing because I am uninformed? Help!?

On the point of Julia Evans, tooling in Windows is good, but I have not found much beyond the blessed debuggers and the gap between these debuggers+Sysinternals stack and that of the raw power tools of the Unix landscape of late: dtrace, strace, ltrace which go into crazy levels of introspection. I looked after reading this and stumbled upon maybe Dr. Memory but have not had time to learn it. Do you have counterpoints or suggestions?

Again, I would love to learn fu like Julia Evans in the Unix space and begin a love affair with the Windows side of debugging tools, but the landscape is more confusing. I would seriously love to hear from you.

Thanks so much for pointing us to DebugDiag. I have never found this and I am checking it out now. Very exciting!

UPDATE: I am reading the Code Machine posts listed in another comment, but it seems that Advanced Windows Debugging book might be the start of what I am looking for. Would love to know if you have other suggestions.
Sometimes you have to upgrade because the old version goes EOL and you won't have support anymore. This is a problem even if you don't add features and it applies to open source too.

Example: as soon as Rails 5 gets released, Rails 3.2 won't get any secuurity fix anymore. If the customer accepts the risk of running a system that could be exploited by automated attacks, all fine. If it's not, time to upgrade at least to Rails 4.2. They could also decide to check if the new vulnerabilities apply to their old version and patch it themselves, but it's probably more expensive and error prone.

It's all a bit confused, but the rhetoric is basically against all immigrants, with eastern Europeans being one particularly targeted group in the context of Brexit.

But it's complex. People were asked by the media which way they would vote and why. Asians were saying they'd been promised more immigration from their country by the Leave campaign, while other people were saying they'd vote Leave because there were too many Africans living in their street. The thought of Turkey joining, and letting in Syrian refugees was also in the mix.

And one of the intellectual leaders of Leave has already stated he's confused why people think voting Leave will reduce immigration.
