I think I have a slightly different experience that ends up feeling much like yours. I got a vocation, got a job, hated it, am quitting it in a few weeks. I rented another apartment in another town; I'm moving and leaving stuff behind, family included. For a year now I've been telling myself that I'm going to study once again but I have the feeling that I can't stand another 5-6 years eating noodles and accumulating debt, waiting for real life to begin. I really don't know if I have the motivation to study. Even if I did, and finished my studies, I'm not optimistic about finding a job I'll like. So would I go back to square one yet another time?

I really feel like shit. And lost.

I'm thinking of starting a company and just trying to make a living doing something I like. But past experiences suggest that other people won't like the things I like enough for me to make a living off of it. Or I just won't have the time and money to do what needs to be done. Kinda hard to concentrate and plan on anything that takes longer than a month when you're not sure whether you'll be able to pay the rent next month...

Did I tell I feel like shit? And lost?

Unfortunately, I've no advice to give you at this point. Good luck.
I'm really hoping to see the React team make React more user friendly. Maybe an all in one React framework much like Meteor, where you can just do `react createapp myapp` or something and start coding right away.
Have I missed something, or is this game just about walking around collecting pokemons with eggs? Is there anything else to it that I missed? The interface isn't illuminating.
Not a terribly thorough investigation; simply a series of unsubstantiated assertions.

Pull works fine at 2 million machines" is a great statement to make, but it would be much stronger with more details. How many machines are doing the pulling? How often? Are they using subprocesses or threads or greenthreads? How do they handle timeouts? How many metrics per machine? How many pulls per metric grab?
Real Semantics vs. Legal Entity Identifiers
I wish I could get my management and team to even adopt so much as a weekly retrospective like this. I've been clamoring for it, begging for it, showing how a lack of a methodology to GSD is having a real impact.

Hasn't come close to happening.
I entirely use Graphite+Grafana as a replacement for ELK stack, Nagios, Zabbix, Cacti or any of the paid options.

It's dead simple, lightweight (UDP) and the setup is cake.

I'm happy as a clam and will never look back.

One of the aspects of data munging is visualization, which is much easier in R with ggplot. Matplotlib is painful and always requires more than double the code to accomplish the same thing.
I don't find him credible enough to vote for him. However, what I have observed is that some feel that Clinton is a certainty in continuing our existing foreign policy and that the choice is between certain more war and maybe less war and they are opting for the maybe less war. The one facet he has been mostly consistent on to my knowledge is at least he is not trying to push an aggressive provoking stance against Russia.

It will be very interesting of Gary Johnson can succeed in getting into the debates. If he has a good performance, that could really change everything.
"Who will benefit from automation?"

Easy answer the companies profits and the automation machine manufacturer and support companies.

Additionally the "Made in good old USA" sticker or wherever you happen to be brings up images of a local using timeless traditional methods making the garment, apart from a very few very expensive items that image is obviously a joke but it certainly works for sales and marketing to manipulate peoples perception and many will pay more for the sticker.
Riemann is a generic event processor. You can use it to generate alerts or aggregate metrics, but you still need something like collectd or telegraf to collect system/app stats from each machine and send it to Riemann.
Does a steak enthusiast need to enjoy a thin cut of pure gristle, cooked until it’s blackened on both sides? Or a haut cuisine “deconstructed steak” which can be eaten in one bite?

Does a coffee aficionado need to enjoy a cup from the local 24-hour diner which was made by over-extracting cheap stale beans and then leaving the pot to sit on a hot pad for hours? Or a cup of instant coffee mixed with non-dairy creamer and two tablespoons of sugar?

Would a code connoisseur need to have an aesthetic appreciation for a corporate 500 kloc Java project that does nothing useful?

Someone who is deeply satisfied to eat anything called “sushi” is just a very hungry person, and someone who has an insatiable thirst for every type of wine is an alcoholic.

Or in other words, there’s a big gray area here. There is a very wide range of quality in most things, from «entirely unpalatable and probably poisonous» to «divine once-in-a-lifetime experience», as well as a wide range in particular tastes and preferences. Different people have different standards, and that’s okay.

One group of people can like student art films with no action and long philosophical monologue voiceovers by entirely unlikeable characters. Another group of people can like superhero movies with a predictable plot, flat characterization, and lots of explosions. Both groups can plausibly say they like “movies”.

Strange. In my neighborhood there has actually been an increase in players in the last week... They mostly come out at night though.
I lived in Mountain View and ate plenty of good food without ever going into SF. I wasn't much into nightlife, but there were bars there and in the neighboring towns. I don't know what cultural events you're referring to so it's hard to answer that. Probably fewer parades if that's what you're interested in.

And no, it's not the same as SF, but that's really a far different question than whether the surrounding towns are self-sustaining. If you want to live in a truly urban area, then MV and Sunnyvale will not be for you. If you want a place that you can work and live, then they can. It's unfair to pretend they have no food, bars, or culture.
I can only second Prometheus. It's modeled after Google Borgmon (and possibly Monarch) and excels in any flexible workload. Really great piece of engineering.

I was a big fan but have migrated away to graphite+grafana, though it depends on your needs.
Well now... you certainly don't read a headline so bizarre, yet entirely accurate every day do you? The article itself pays off in a big way too, with the looming specter of a "shit-fueled toxic algal bloom" emerging before the revelation of a "moss cleaner" as the likely culprit.

I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat. I lost my appetite, and I learned something.

Very cool. Love the part about lifting mutable borrows into purely functional components.
God isn't scary since he doesn't exist, The things people who believe in God do are scary but then the things people who don't believe in God do are also scary - or to be blunt I fear the People who believe in a God a lot more than the God they believe in since I have evidence for the former.

There is no evidence of God in any of the ways that any of the religious texts describe (and not in any way they don't describe but that's a different subject), that we don't understand the process behind something doesn't mean we just insert "God did it" and stop questioning, your central argument is what is called the "God of the Gaps" argument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps and it's notable that over the last millenia those gaps get smaller and more distant in both time and space - we are a long way from angry Gods every time it Thunders and Scarab beetles pushing the Sun across the sky in some ways and apparently no further than we ever where in others, now it's possible there might be things we can never know (there is no reason to presuppose that we can learn everything there is to be learned) but that still doesn't mean we can just insert "Because God" or to put it another way, your claim that God created life has exactly as much merit as my contention that a purple stuffed elephant called Terrence did it since after all it's not on Atheists to prove God doesn't exist, it's on the Religious to prove that he does.

Now this entire debate is pointless since your faith in God requires no evidence (if there was evidence it wouldn't be faith) and my refusal to believe in God (or Gods) is because there is no evidence (or to paraphrase one of my heroes - "That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence") so we reach a natural stopping point in this debate...unless you have empirical proof for the existence of God?.
There's a bit more to it than that, but essentially, yes. The "eggs" are called pokéballs.

Interesting, but mining Bauxite does a lot more damage than just produce CO2, and Aluminum would start to get scarce and expensive as all hell if this actually worked on an industrial scale.

Very excited to see the progress. We're switching over from Github to Gitlab EE in the coming weeks.

I do wish cross-repo pull requests could be imported. (http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/workflow/importing/import_projects...). Right now we have to hang on to a small number of GH accounts just to keep several years of that valuable history.
I find the best thing for me is to consume. Consume everything- books, movies, scientific articles, news articles, things you haven't heard of before, obscure channels. When I find myself lost it's really that I am searching, and I need something to stand on- an idea, a book, a character, or an individual that is truly invested in what they are doing.

I fully subscribe to the idea that you have to consume things that make you think to create anything, and the only way you're going to be able to do anything interesting to fuel your own fire is to create. It can be a self-improvement, an actual thing, a societal group, or write a book- but you have to consume enough to know what you even could do.
I would say Google Maps.
Honestly, I have exactly the same question. I saw dozen articles that talk about the thing but noone mentions exactly how it works / what happens after you catch a pokemon.

Good catch! Our Markdown documentation describes a lot of GitLab Flavored Markdown that will (currently) only work inside GitLab itself, not on the docs site which uses a completely different Markdown renderer.

It should be noted that Riemann is different from Nagios and Prometheus in that it's push-based. The other two are primarily pull-based.
I think we can distinguish. The ideograms and hieroglyphs have very, very specific rules about they can recombine, and that nothing to do with their pictorial aspects. It has to do with semantic / grammatical aspects.
> you can always dive into it; the black hole will then certainly exist for you, and in a finite time.

Will it? All the other matter that is falling in also time dilated (relative to you) to infinity. So basically you will fall in alone, with nothing accompanying you, and no black hole will form.

> Consider the Bullet Cluster, which is two colliding galactic clusters.

I'm aware of that, but it's not conclusive. Imagine you never heard of dark matter - would that be the first place you jump to? Or would you imagine some very large object emitting hot gas, and moving, and not being slowed by the incoming gas.

Such an object could not be seen because of the intensely hot gas between it and us, but the gravity would show up in the gravity map. And there's your "dark", but ordinary, matter.

> If this redshift were gravitational, it would imply that our galaxy is at the top of a gravitational potential hill. This means that our place in the universe is very privileged, which is unlikely.

When we see a distant "star", it's actually an entire galaxy, or even galaxy cluster. So the gravitational mass of that entire object is redshifting the light, but only our little sun is blueshifting it on the other end.

The net result is redshift, as we see it.

It's not a coincidence that objects close to us are actually blueshifted.
Now would be a good time to buy some then.
Interesting but does it matter? Commented out anyway.

What is preventing you from doing that with Scala?

I see that you filed a ticket that the setup of IntelliJ != Android Studio, but is there anything that works in one, but not the other? (Except having to skip the "install android support" from the install guide?)

I like Riemann and actually read The Art of Monitoring (https://artofmonitoring.com/) which was a great book. There are two big downsides for me on this one. First, you MUST build your monitoring solution from scratch and you MUST learn Clojure (which can be hard to get a whole team to agree to). Second, there's no alerting dashboard, which makes it difficult to see the overall state of the clusters you're dealing with. The only way you know there's a problem if you get an email. Maybe there's a better way to handle that but I wasn't able to find one.
I switched from Python/pandas to R because I was more interested in applying the algorithm/methods instead of developing them. Python is fine if you want to develop the algorithm or implement a particular method. But if you are more interested in application of algorithm/method, the availability of R packages to do so hands down the best. Anything you may want to do with R, most probably there is a R package already for it.
The difference comes down to syntax vs. semantics. The problem with assembly isn't its syntax (mov eax, ebx is fairly readable), it's that the underlying semantics are too low level. Exploring new abstractions/semantics to use is very useful (local variables, first-class functions, algebraic data types, etc.), but optimizing solely for source program size leads to a language that's great for code golf and not much else.
Peter Thiel's argument at RNC makes no sense. Here's what I think is going on
Other GFM features are broken in the examples on that page, too. Looks like it was processed using a standard Markdown parser rather than a GFM-aware one.

Do non-tech demographics delete unused apps or just let them pile up on their phone? It seems to me the biggest barrier to entry is getting people to go to an app store and make the initial download, in which case getting them to come back wouldn't be all that hard with a well marketed upgrade assuming the app is still there.
Yes, it did. The classic problem for geographically-based mobile games is critical mass. Ingress barely reaches the necessary threshold. Pokemon IP was critical here.
Two. Icinga2 and nsca-ng. You can bring it down to one if you use Icinga2 as the test runner on the individual machines.

If you need to shard, no other binaries are involved, just a couple of changed configuration files and some SSL certs. Passive reports can go to any node; a simple load balancer will work fine without any form of hashing or federation required.

> There is nothing inherent in a polling model that limits its ability to scale

Aside from the additional processing requirements, such as SSH, NRPE, subprocesses, etc, you are also limited in that a polling process must be told in advance of new systems or services, whereas it's fairly easy to just have a new service or system start reporting and be immediately monitored.

I've solved my webpack config woes by using HJS-Webpack[0] which describes itself as "Helpers/presets for setting up webpack with hotloading react and ES6(2015) using Babel."

It provides you with a base configuration object, which has been setup with any loaders that it has detected in your node_modules. You can then extend and customize as needed.

Clash Royale would be my guess. Recent release, IP carries over from a very popular existing game, but it's not just a sequel. Also had great word of mouth from the geobeta.
> You are correct that you can never observe the singularity. It will never form within a finite time in any reference frame you can take.

So that means there are no black holes in the universe as actual objects - none have formed yet, and none will (in our time). So why does LIGO claim two black holes merged, if black holes can't exist?

> The problem with your argument is you are not taking into account the reference frame inside the black hole. It's still a valid reference frame in relativity even if you can never observe it, so it must be considered.

Considered from a mathematical point of view, definitely. Considered as an observable object? No.

So to consider it: All the other matter that is falling in also time dilated (relative to you) to infinity. So basically you will fall in alone, with nothing accompanying you, and no black hole will form.
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
Yep, I think that is Riemann's greatest advantage. I don't like the fact that with Prometheus I have to set up some sort of service discovery mechanism. Right now we're using Foreman to manage our clusters, so most likely I would have to use the file service discovery type and query the Foreman API to produce a YAML or JSON file to provide a list of static hosts.

> I don't think an oil change is a tune up. Maybe it is.

It's not.

I have a couple of 60s Mustangs and several newer cars. My original '65 needs ignition service (what most people call a "tune up") every couple of years (of very modest usage). My '66, converted to electronic ignition, gets about twice as long (and 10x as many miles) before needing ignition service. They both end up fouling plugs because of the terrible mixture control and distribution inherent in their carbureted designs.

My wife's 2005 Honda CR-V gets about 100K to a set of plugs. (Fuel injection, closed loop mixture control, and electronic ignition are the key enhancements that enable this long a time between tune-ups.)

My diesel Mercedes and Nissan LEAF obviously never get tune ups.
I am with you on this. While I feel like I should eventually move fully into python for data, with it being a more multipurpose language. I can never never seem to make the transition because python does not have a rstudio equivalent.

I have tried yhat's rodeo and also yhat's port of ggplot for python but it just isn't there yet in my opinion.
Its news because both the issue reported and the inability to address this constructively doesn't speak well of them and unlike most landlords they are soliciting outside investment from the kind of people who read hacker news.
It's more how the information is presented, and the style of deduction used by mathematicians of the time. For over 2000 years, Euclid's Elements (13 incredibly dense volumes of geometric deduction) were the foundation of mathematical education in academia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid%27s_Elements

They aren't really books of equations, just lots and lots of verbose axioms and theorems and conclusions about properties of points/lines/triangles/circles/etc.

A square (the squaring operation that is, not the shape) in this context still means x * x, but it would be described (and reasoned about) in terms of being the surface area of a shape or the length of a line, and logically used in comparison to the surface areas of other shapes or the lengths of other lines. A squared square would still mean x^4, but it would be presented in terms of some quantity (x^2) which was shown to be the square of some other quantity (x), which also happens to be the square root of yet another quantity (x^4) according to the logic of whatever property the proof was trying to establish.

An example of a geometric property of the squaring operation could be a simple statement along the lines of, if the side of one (geometric) square is shorter than the side of another square, then the area of the first square is guaranteed to be less than the area of the second square. Which all sounds painfully trivial, to the point of not even being worth talking about, but in the context of Euclid it would have been a meaningful relationship that could be exploited as part of some much more elaborate proof.

At no point would any of this be expressed in terms of modern mathematical notation, it would all be semiformal verbal descriptions of the relationships between 2D geometric primitives. In the world of philosophizing about 2D geometry, squares and square roots have a conceptual primacy that other exponents do not have (likewise for cubes and cube roots in 3D geometry).

What little I've read of this stuff comes across like the machine language of mathematical deduction, where everything is built up from a very long series of very simple statements that (given enough statements) can eventually produce very sophisticated results. The way math is taught now (at least to non-math majors) comes across more like a very high-level language where we're simply taught rules like x^y * x^z = x^(y + z), and we aren't required to understand it in terms of low-level geometric proofs.
