Let's discount that programmers are human begins: let's assume programmers are exactly like rotary tools that can run 12 hours a day, everyday, including weekends.

Every tool has a fixed number of cycles before something gives and repairs need to be made (or the tool written off and a replacement obtained).

Depending on the price and availability of a tool, some businesses make conscious decisions to limit the number of hours they use a tool, so as to extend the life of the tool.

Now if we are to consider that we are the said tools, and once we wear out, the onus is on us to repair ourselves and bear all costs of doing so (because the business "writes us off"), we might have more clarity into pricing ourselves?

If we want to add to that, that we are actually human beings, some more clarity perhaps could be obtained.

I invite your opinions and feedback.

It's not just financial. Those things are incredibly hard for ordinary people (or busy technical people) to understand and use. Only nerds with lots of time on their hands use such systems.

My UX rule of thumb is: every step required to set up or otherwise adopt a new technology cuts adoption in half.

Example: if your audience consists of a million people and it takes 10 steps to set something up, about a thousand people will end up using it.

Dropwizard is great for REST APIs (... as the title says). However if you want to use traditional views (MVC, html templates, security, forms etc) then please check something else (I tried it and lost many hours -- in the end I still couldn't do even basic things).

For traditional web development, I recommend spring-boot which is almost as easy as dropwizard, it also doesn't need an application container and fully supports Spring MVC, Spring Security and all other spring related goodies.

We use it at my company on a 3 node cluster running in AWS.

We host about 10 small apps/services in it. They vary from things that do (basically) a single simple API call to full Rails apps.

Experience has been very positive. We had our share of "pre 1.0" issues, to be sure. But, the team in #flynn (IRC) is incredibly responsive. It's been a pleasure watching the issues get resolved, merged, and deployed very rapidly.

Digging into the code too, it's easy to follow and feels quite nicely architected.

Aside from all of that, my team is thrilled to have its own little PaaS.
Awesome! Thanks! I'll have to try it out.
The very biggest thing for me -- having started suffering from wrist pain about ten years ago -- was switching from QWERTY to Dvorak for typing. It was quite a lot of work, but the wrist pain completely disappeared and hasn't been back.

Yes, this is a good idea. What I'm concerned about is that there is no standard terminology. The paper - and another comment in here! - is talking about the proof being "non-constructive", when in reality it is a constructive proof in 2-EXPTIME.

I'm only nitpicking here, because I'm seeing this a lot...
There is going to be gigantic culture war coming over this issue.

On one side will be the technologists, familiar with rapid iterations of software development, and willing to experience "bugs" because they realize it means faster longer term progress and greater ultimate gains for the human race.

On the other side will be luddites, who will see willingness to experience bugs that result in real human tragedy as an entirely new category of human moral decay. If I were a conservative with a book deal, this would the new fear platform I would be trying to jump off.
It's theoretically possible that crash-tests overshoot the optimum and thus effort that could be used for better real world performance gets wasted.

Another thing they could do is make it refundable: if you actually move in and start filing taxes there, then you get the first one (where you were taxed because the previous tax filing was out-of-province) refunded to you the next year.
I actually never finished the book because Jobs, as a character, was just too inscrutable. And I don't mean in the interesting, complicated ways that humans generally are. The abrupt shift from brilliant leader and visionary to petulant asshole child is understandable, even at the start of Apple -- he was just 21, after all. But the emotional/personality swings pretty much continue through his entire life, and it was just too bewildering for me to fully empathize with Jobs. Maybe if other CEOs were as highly scrutinized as Jobs we'd see the same kind of inexplicable complexity? As it stands, I enjoyed iWoz (albeit it was written as an autobiography) much more than the Jobs' biography.
The best bang for buck ergonomics device for me has been a monitor stand that is spring loaded for easy height adjustment and goes higher than a normal monitor stand.

You'll need one with a sit-stand desk anyway so I'd suggest getting one first. You need the monitor higher when standing to have correct posture.

The monitor stands that come bundled with monitors are way too low if stationed on the same tabletop as your keyboard.

We're sensitive enough that we preemptively scale as traffic "appears" to be increasing. So we add 5 EC2 instances, not at crisis levels of traffic, but "Hmmm...I feel a tingling in my extremities". We then remove one instance at a time if traffic falls below "Not doing anything" levels. The time between scaling actions is 15 minutes. Since ASG's go to remove older instances first, we don't end up getting charged a full hour for instances that are up for less than an hour that often.

Admittedly, our web traffic is very US Business Hours centric and peaks predictably between 3 and 4 in the afternoon.

Also, we're operating more at a scale of $40,000/month for peak traffic capacity 24/7 and $25,000/month once I got autoscaling worked out. So...yeah. I guess the scale for savings matters. :-)

human + robot ≈ cyborg

electricity + silicon ≈ solar cells

virtual reality + reality ≈ augmented reality

--

These always seem impressive in word vector models, but in reality, I imagine that "robot" and "cyborg" were already pretty close. The fact that adding "human" nudged the vector closer is likely not as meaningful as it would be nice to believe. The same for "electricity/solar cells" and "virtual reality/augmented reality"

Still a really nice application for word2vec, and I'm looking forward to seeing other similarly practical implementations in future.
it's not that "replication options just started to catch on" with postgresql, it was that when the postgresql team take something into core it has to be fully fleshed out and fully supported with no surprises.

And with that in mind, I would take the slow to deliver replication options postgresql supplies in base over the previous third-party options which where comparable to the built-in options in mysql... and I'd take it over mysql's built-in options.

and I've used both postgresql and mysql in highly transactional/reliable production environments for over 5 years.

If it is true that most designers are not aware of the accessibility issues caused by their designs in various environments, how can we still call them designers?

It has always been my deep understanding that the artist is trying to communicate within a constrained space. Without knowing the bounds of this space an artist is truly lost. By constraining, however, the artist is able to focus, form and foster a microcosmos.

The modern web designer is rarely an artist. Web design entails extending of bounds more often than focusing them. Selling out instead of focusing and selling paradigms.
Not necessarily. Apple could sell those cars or operate a car sharing service. In the latter case they need to build only a fraction of the cars. Ideally we'll get a self driving car that never stops, going from customer to customer like a cab. That would reduce the number of cars even further.

Whatever thwy'll be I wonder if we'll be able to operate those cars with an Android phone or they'll be iPhone only.

If you want an "out-of-the-box" routine that's simple and balanced, I'd recommend "stronglifts" [0]. To be sure, it's a very strength-centric routine, but you can very well dial it back to twice a week and complement it with a weekly run.

The reason I suggest this particular regimen is threefold:

1. it's simple

2. the "culture" of stronglifts focuses heavily on proper form

3. the exercises involved are compound (i.e. multi-join, multi-muscle-group) lifts, which reduce the risk of muscular imbalances.

Why can't we have futuristic inventive super abstract UI elements that are non-flat, with proper contrast and beautiful? Most people here conflate skeumorphism with non-flat stuff. So for you antonyms:

The Best Season Ever
Vince Gilligan is the master mind who created and produced the all-time greatest television show named “Breaking Bad”. It was 20th January 2008 when this show was on air for the first time on the AMC network and it kept on going till 29th September 2013. Walter White is the main character of the series played by Bryan Cranston, Walter is a chemistry teacher who gets diagnosed by lungs cancer and then the story comes across a twist when he collaborates with one of his former students named as Jesse Pinkman played by Aaron Paul and they both start cooking meth.
This is how he comes in the world of crime and tries to earn as much as he can for his family to give them a safe life after his death.
When asked the role Bryan Cranston said “I think any good drama worth its weight always has a sprinkling of comedy in it, because you can ease the tension to an audience when it's necessary, and then build it back up again. Walt White has no clue he's occasionally funny, but as an actor I recognize when there are comedic moments and opportunities”

Anna Gunn AKA Skyler White is playing the role of his wife in show. In the beginning of the show we find that she is expecting her second baby then later on Skyler starts to suspect her husband after his weird behavior and when she was asked about her role in the series, she said “My role is grounded, tough, smart and driven”
Jesse Pinkman which was played by Aaron Paul in the series and he is the one guy with which Walter starts cooking meth. When Jesse was asked about the character of Jesse, he smiled as said “He's just this lost soul - I don't think he's a bad kid, he just got mixed in the wrong crowd”
Over all the series is one of the best in the world and the most successful at IMDB as well. So, if you are looking for a watchable show then “Breaking Bad” should be your first and last option.

parent is asking about this I think: "This is indeed nice for data visualization, while it’s also very helpful in our pipeline because it removes noise in the derived vectors, by forcing a new mapping based purely on relative similarity. For this reason we will be using the low-dimensional coordinates of each word in our recommender system."

i.e. it's nice for visualisation, and it removes noise. It would be interesting to see discussion from y-hat about where the sweet spot between lack of noise and still keeping relevant information is. I think because the subject matter is pretty simply to cluster, 2D works well enough and keeps everything simple.

Kudos to Lets Encrypt for their great work on the former.

A single sad tear for the state of the latter.
Dropwizard is really just an opinionated bundling of sane Java libraries that don't suck, and is essentially tailor-made for the (quasi-)event-driven processing model of:

1. request comes in

2. do stuff here

3. response goes out

While this may not sound very exciting, this is exactly what goes on in HTTP APIs. People these days use Node or Go for this kind of stuff, but Dropwizard makes it very pleasant to do it in Java.
I wonder what the effect would be if instead of these large but regular movements, a very small random movement was applied. My guess is that it would make pictures more "alive" in an uncanny way without obviously distorting them or making them funny.
Congratulations to the Dropwizard team!

We have had great results internally here at Boxfuse with Dropwizard. So good in fact that we decided to add Dropwizard-specific optimizations to our deployment tool for running Dropwizard apps on AWS with a single command.

Then perhaps browsers should whitelist .onion as "secure" regardless of protocol?

I'd also like to see whitelists for the reserved-for-private-use IPv4 ranges and a .local or .home TLD, since those are circumstances where HTTPS doesn't give you much either, and where getting a certificate is unreasonably difficult.
Thanks, I missed this. I noticed that the PCIE 3.0 x1 bandwidth is just above what AMD reported in their throughput test - 985 MB/s...I wonder if AMD used a system with the SSD connected to a M.2 slot on the motherboard with just a PCIE 3.0 x1 link.

I should clarify that I do think this onboard SSD concept could be really compelling for certain use cases, such as needing to store several hundred gigs of data which needs to be randomly accessed.

> the public finds it slightly more acceptable to change a baby’s genes than to enhance human abilities.

This is weird. Making a permanent non-consensual change versus something like an implant. I have to chalk that up to not really thinking about the question that hard. Is there some angle I'm missing here why the first would be better?
> it might be quite hard to configure it.

I want something completely custom and that's hard therefore Lets Encrypt is too hard.
People used to have "hobbies". Now it needs to be a side project.
The icon is recognizable because younger people learn the weird boxy icon means save. Even with an explanation of the icon's origins, for the younger generation, the icon is recognizable but not meaningful. Can we devise a more meaningful icon? Can we break with convention and just choose a different icon that's recognizable but more aesthetically pleasing or consistent with our style guides, even if it's still meaningless?

This isn't an argument against vestigial iconography. It's not even an argument against skeuomorphism. It's a recognition that skeuomorphism increasingly fails to serve its intended purpose of conveying a meaning. Once we recognize that the old icons are dead metaphors, that we often times keep them only because of inertia and not because they have any intrinsic value, we can build momentum on the necessary work of establishing the visual language of the digital age on its own terms.
It's a bit more subtle than that. Operationally, the proof will end up being exhaustive search, but you also need a constructive termination proof.

This is not a very helpful way to think about these things though. What I meant is that all principles used in this proof are constructive. You could, for example, literally translate this proof into a proof in type theory.

The article never answers the question in its title.

The basic job of management is to organize the division of labor.
In practice, "full stack" seems to mean "we don't know how to divide up the problem, so we want people who can cover for this management failure".
I'm not sure how it's not. Certain death in the smoke and fire versus a slim chance of survival if you jump, seems like the rational choice in horrible circumstances.
I wouldn't go so far as to call people who don't see the universal relevance of computation "mediocre humans," but they're certainly missing out on a lot. Computers generalize cognition and memory at scales far beyond what humans are capable of. It's ludicrous to only ever write code to shuffle around cyberwidgets.

The GMO aversion is more complex. Many GMOs are deployed to increase the amount of pesticide that can be used. And Monsanto uses their GMO IP to control a significant fraction of the market. So people who don't like large amounts of pesticides and people who don't like IP being used to control food markets have been campaigning to demonize GMOs in the public mind. Without the negative campaigning, I think people would be a lot more welcoming of it.

I've tried to setup a replicated postgres with autofailover and it honestly is a pita.

the only sources of failover are rando scripts over the internet, that you have to download hammer in to your version dialect and hope you don't trigger one of the many uncovered failover modes.

sure log shipping works, but that's far, FAR from a working solution. the gap requires ton of development hour, testing etc.

can't really blame people for using things with mature tooling.
