And when it comes to non-fuzzy animals, the gloves come off. We have massive industries to exterminate insects, fungi, bacteria and so on. Even fish are hardly protected. If we could perform genocide on some of them, we would.
Having a theory of mind is another one of those big ones. The problem is differentiating true awareness of the concepts of 'self' and 'other' from rote instinct - is a leopard stalking a gazelle aware of the gazelle as an entity and takes actions accordingly, or is it merely reacting to known sets of stimuli?
There are two big mountain ranges crossing Mexico North-South. That probably kept some of the indigenous groups isolated from each other for a long time.

There is also the division between Mesoamerica (South) and Aridoamerica(North). Two different sets of cultures that needed different technologies. Settlers and Nomads.

Elastic Search 'beats' ( https://www.elastic.co/products/beats ) can do all the monitoring/stats, deploying snapshots to multiple servers can also be automated in Go or drop a Go binary on the server for some kind of Command&Control architecture for continuous remote maint, starting/stopping containers ect (assuming all security precautions have been considered).

This worked for a deployment of ~75 docker containers ymmv
Biggest issue I have with Jira is how it's trying to be the everything tool for all processes and procedures: way too many non-devs and non-qa people looking to get data from it and cramming their stuff into it. Every month it seems like there's another couple of fields that I have to fill out so that some random group can track some metric, or the security team can pretend like we're doing a security audit on all of the code, or whatever. My favorite is the checkbox the QA team has to click to confirm that they've done security checks on new endpoints. They don't have the first clue on how to do that, but they all just check the box because they have to check the box to continue.

Whether or not this is Atlassian's fault is debatable of course. I feel like they were more opinionated back when I started using it ~10 years ago (with the Greenhopper plugin). It was a much, much more pleasant thing to use. Probably because it was only under the control of the teams who were actually doing dev work.

I'd hardly call uniformed commentary on the internet "political correctness drowning the exchange of ideas", however, it's ironic that those accusing the author of racism are inadvertently casting support for the racist idea that arbitrarily defined racial labels like "Mexican" have an inherent meaning that supersedes the actual genetics; the article is literally a case study of how our crudely defined racial groupings are insufficient descriptions of underlying genetics.

> sell the binary, and offer the source only to those who buy the binary -- don't make the source code public on github.

The problem with that model in many software markets is that the proven value of the bazaar development model means that when you do that, eventually one of the purchasers of the binary is going to make the code public (because the GPL means they can), and once they do that, the cat's out of the bag, and people (both users and alternate service vendors) can roll their own binaries), commoditizing the software and reducing (likely, eliminating) your ability to charge for binaries rather than ancillary services like support and custom development.
Yes. Most of the value of Ansible is the library 100 of tasks like copy a file and replace variables, or restart a service if the config changed. It can do a lot of work in a few lines... But can also be a bit too much if you are already in a single container.

Out of those two countries, Russia, a country with an economy smaller than that of Spain, is the only one not currently engaged in massive subsidies and stoking artificial demand (metallurgy, construction). China isn't engaging in QE but it is using other methods to prop growth.

I doubt China's position is as tenuous as the Euro zone, but it is engaging in some similar practices.

Russia is wholly dependent on the Euro zone as an export-based economy until it can improve internal consumption. It can't be relied upon to prop up the world economy in the event of an asset value correction.

I suppose, but the cost of a career switch to a job that is similar or greater in pay is quite high. What do you think is the likely place a developer who is 25 today will be in 20 years?
In my experience, I haven't been coming to k8s because I particularly like the developer experience (despite their efforts to focus heavily on it), but because it cleanly supported some things that I need.

For instance, with k8s, out of the box every running container in a clustered system is discoverable and has its own IP. If you're writing distributed applications, and you're using containers principally as a tool to make your life easier (and not as part of an internal paas or for handling data pipelines or some other use case), having that sort of discovery available out of the box is great.

SEEKING WORK (Remote, live in Connecticut)

Developer and designer (5+ years), work out of my own shop, Heta.co.

Primarily develop, design, and customize WordPress themes, or convert PSD designs or HTML/CSS/jQuery to WordPress.

I've worked on complex sites for digital agencies (30+ templates, 25+ plugins), as well as on smaller sites for small businesses/individuals (10 templates, 10 plugins). References available.

Technologies I use: PHP, HTML, CSS/LESS, jQuery, WordPress, mySQL, Foundation, Bootstrap, SVN or Git for version control, Sifter for issue tracking, Slack to keep in touch with clients. Resourceful.

Reach out to me at: hn [at] heta [dot] co (not com). I can send you links to live sites I've designed and developed, sites I've converted to WP, etc.

Thanks for your consideration.
But that's just playing catch-up. Eventually video will be machine-made. It is hard to imagine given that need and the broader trends of society that we will someday NOT be living in a perpetual survellience state. However then the only way to ensure objective fairness is to make this information free and open to all. The second you close a door on access, corruption will explode.

Or, alternatively, we do not go that route and as a result the burden of truth is diminished to the point where factual information will no longer be enough to make a definitive judgement.

This Pandora's Box is staying open. Let's all hope for the sake of civilization that we use its powers responsibly.

Develop on feature branches, merge with master only when the feature is done. Always merge with --no-ff. Then, when reviewing history, on the master branch you can use either "git log" or "git log --first-parent master". The first log is the complete log, with exploratory development, mistakes, backtracks and such. The second is the clean log people keep rewriting history to obtain.

There are actually a fair number of companies that have a tech ladder. I think the big 4 tech companies all do for starters.

No thanks.
I hate getting compliments, period. Excessive praise makes me feel uncomfortable.

In Parks and Recreation, Ron Swanson gives exactly the sort of compliments I would be comfortable with: "Your work product is often adequate.", "Sharing a workspace with you is not entirely unpleasant.", "I don't dread seeing your face entering my office.", "You remind me of a 16 oz. porterhouse."

It makes me a bit sad that they were perceived as jokes.
I sympathise, and I appreciate someone raising awareness of the situation. Perhaps the negative attention will prompt Dell to review this policy.

That said, is it really normal to expect to be able to return a non-faulty product once it's shipped, or unreasonable of Dell to refuse such returns if they don't want to sell on that basis?

In my country (the UK) there are consumer protection laws that include various rights to return goods purchased remotely for a short period even if they aren't defective. In principle, these are supposed to allow for not being able to inspect the actual product the way you could in person if you bought from a store. However, for better or worse, business customers do not enjoy the same legal protections as private individuals, and a lot of potentially one-sided terms that would be unlikely to stand up in a B2C context because of statutory protections seem to be routine in B2B sales.
> The sad thing is mercurial has like 95% of git's power and is waaay easier to understand

Mercurial has a clean and simple UI, especially if you come from a SVN background.

But Git's internals are simpler and the concept is much easier to understand, especially if you start looking at a handful of the most popular Mercurial extensions, some of which will be "must have" sooner or later.

This is no excuse for an inconsistent UI in Git, but the damage is already done. There's no point in making major changes now (some renaming for consistency might be alright, though), it would be breaking existing workflows and scripts.

I find the best explanation of how Git works is... the first commit of Git[0] itself.

You're picking nits. The intent is clear from multiple reproducible sources. For there to be any issue, the developer (or an assignee) would have to file suit, at which point it would be trivial to demonstrate that it was clearly communicated that the old versions assumed a second license. The copyright holder would have a very steep uphill battle to show otherwise.

Costa Rica also sits on the Ring of Fire like I do here in East Java, so geothermal is accessible there.

Costa Rica did not have to maintain a standing army to protect its borders thanks in large part to relying on treaties and understandings with the US. This frees up some of their GDP for R&D into sustainable energy.

I wonder what the demand for electricity is in Costa Rica today compared to when I was last there in 1993. I was going to buy land then, but I was a bit wary of new laws on foreign-owned properties. It would have cost me a lot to bribe/pay my way to getting power distributed to my land. I was going to use a generator and solar panels anyway. Many people kept guns to defend their property from bandits in my travels there back then. I'm sure it has changed a lot. Selva Verde was my first 'eco-tourist' experience, and I remember talking to some of the worker's there, and the owner's daughter. I am glad to see the business model took off. It's a beautiful country.

I fondly remember the Sony Ericsson Walkman series, which were phones intended to be one's personal music player. And they had Sony Ericsson's thick, wide, proprietary connectors. It was such an annoyance having to carry those earphones just for the phone, or when the included earphones (with the proprietary connectors) broke down and you couldn't just use another pair of earphones.

A little while later, someone released an adapter, and that lessened the annoyance.

But later phones that had 3.5mm (or 2.5mm) in-built were definitely better.
This would be illegal in the EU. The US needs better consumer protection laws.
I believe this is a generation thing. Generation Y grew up with so many crisis and terror attacks, its just naturally everyone is hording their cash. Also a lot of people want to stay independent and mobile so they are not (yet) settling down.
> People confuse Free Software to mean gratis rather than libre. It can be, but it doesn't have to be.

It doesn't have to be initially, but once you redistribute it to others with the permission to redistribute it that defines Free Software, the probability that you end up competing with gratis derivatives of the same code base tends to unity over time.

So, Free-for-a-price software really relies on a premium price charged to early users (often only the first user); IOW, its more like selling bespoke software development services than like selling other software licenses.
Sure. Generally because they have their actions have a negative effect on our happiness, and we value their happiness so lowly that our loss in happiness overwhelms any concerns we have about theirs. We allow the raising of animals for slaughter because it affects our happiness so positively that we ignore that we are actually killing them at the end, and placate ourselves with platitudes about them having a relatively easy life up to that point (which historically was true).

I feel this keenly, being a meat-eater myself. Affordable (and hopefully palatable) lab-grown meet can't come soon enough.
We use VersionOne and it is the most painful thing ever. Even worse is I think ours is a custom installation with even more pointless metrics that we have to track.

Nothing would ever get entered if not for the scrum master yelling at use to "burn your hours" multiple times a day. All of this gets reported up, in complete violation of scrum. The stories and small amount of documentation associated with them near no relation to what we work on and we aren't going to update them because VersionOne is so painfully slow and counterintuitive.

Something like 90% of a scrum masters job here is maintaining VersionOne. If you have to dedicate one person per team to a tool, maybe that tool isn't saving you any time or money.

>And no, my 2013 MBP still works just fine and probably will for years.

Mine does too, but the lack of hardware updates is disconcerting enough that my next hardware(laptop/desktop) purchase won't be from Apple. I really like OS X/macOS, but the overall attitude seems to be that they just don't care, so I'll look to something that does care a little more.

That's fine, it is their (or their board's?) choice on what to pursue, but I don't have to buy either. Their priorities have shifted away from macOS and the hardware that runs it. If those priorities haven't shifted, they should consider a retreat or some meeting to determine why fans like myself and many others in this thread feel that way. They should ask themselves why it is taking so long between updates to the Mac Pro, etc. They should ask themselves why they have "Pro" in the name but then leave the hardware out of date (especially since its own name kinda implies it is for power users that want powerful machines).
