In regards to VMware licensing, allow me to expound upon a situation faced by a recent customer.

Oracle allows licensing on VMware on a hypervisor level. When VMware allowed you to vMotion between hosts in a vSphere HA cluster, Oracle would require that you license all the hosts in the cluster because the Oracle VMs might land on any of those hosts in a failover situation. When cross-cluster vMotion came with 5.1, the customer was told that they must license every host attached to that vCenter instance, forcing the customer to purchase and implement another vCenter strictly for Oracle.

And now, with vSphere 6, comes cross-vCenter vMotion. You can guess where that conversation with Oracle went. Customer bought an Oracle Enterprise license, which is presumably what the sales rep had in mind the whole time.

It could be related to the signal-to-noise ratio. If I'm a non-dev looking to throw something together and 98% of the information I find is about some pro-level frameworks, it'll be hard for me to sort through that and find information appropriate to my skill level, level of interest, and needs.

Maybe it's still a net-gain for the world as a whole, but it's certainly a loss for the non-dev. It makes the learning curve (perhaps needlessly, perhaps not) more regressive.
I started on LOGO and Q-BASIC. (IBM PS/2, baby).

Everything I actually know about coding came about during my undergraduate engineering education, where a minimal amount of Matlab was needed for labs. I got super into it, then I installed linux, then I started writing my problem sets in LaTeX ...

Several years later, my second job made me into an actual developer for scientific computation, and that learning curve consisted of three years of pair-programming with a guy who has 30 years in the game. You learn quickly that way, and I had enough a foundation under me of my own making so that I didn't drown -- but not too much that all my bad habits were too hard to undo.

Spur and belt routes, the ones with three digits, are reused across states. They tend to be ones that branch off to serve particular cities and not cross state lines.
I think I was four years old. My mother let my brother (5) and I walk our bikes down to the nearby cul-de-sac, and ride them there. (We lived on a narrow street, with little traffic, but still a through street.)

Some time later, she heard the sirens. She looked out the window as an ambulance went past our house, down toward the cul-de-sac. She came running down to find is sitting on our bikes watching the ambulance go past. A car had hit a boy crossing our street. It paralyzed him.

So, that's anecdote instead of data. But cul-de-sacs are a safer place for kids on bikes, scooters, skateboards, and just playing in the street. (Safer, not safe. I got mildly bloodied in a bike-on-bike collision in that exact same cul-de-sac...)

Highly recommend http://www.strongtowns.org/ if you are interested in articles like this; still trying to explain to city councils over a hundred years after Ebenezer wrote "To-Morrow" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_city_movement) why he was horrifically wrong.

If you want to dive deeper into this, Jane Jacobs's "Death and Life of the Great American Cities" is an incredible and very approachable book on urban planning: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Life-Great-American-Cities/dp/0...
You wrote "no police/firemen," not "fewer." It's not "super pedantic" to use the plain, obvious meaning of words.

Furthermore, it's not reasonable to expect people to read what you "essentially" wrote. People read what you actually wrote.
As someone who was born and raised in China I just like to remind people that the real meaning of "guanxi" is a function of location and time. i.e. the real meaning of "guanxi" is different from 20 yrs ago to present, and the word has different meaning from small cities to big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, also it doesn't mean exactly the same thing from, say, southern China to north east China.

In general in big cities "guanxi" plays a smaller role, while in small cities especially the underdeveloped ones it plays a bigger role, to the extent that even doing some fairly trivial business (or even things like getting a passport or going to hospital) needs you to have some "guanxi". By "needs one to have some 'guanxi'" I mean it's not impossible for one to do without "guanxi" but it's just way smoother and faster if you know someone who can help. That's also one of the reasons people prefer to live in big cities. It's just more fair for young people without acquaintances in every possible field. On the other hand, parents are more familiar with "guanxi".

The existence of "guanxi" also makes people doubt if they have failed to lubricate some "guanxi" if they got rejected or failed for something (e.g. U.S. visa, or a reasonable exam) even if there are other reasons more likely to cause it.

"guanxi" sometimes even helps one to pass the test for driver's license, oh a big facepalm to road security...

(What I said above is not to confuse you guys, the wikipedia page is still worth reading though.)
Hopefully, this is just a token move to gain leverage to hostilely acquire AWS from Amazon.

Even without that, there are enough potential shops whom run Oracle DBMS / J2EE stacks whom would gladly pay for managed well-managed, -secured IaaS/PaaS offerings. Throw in Solaris (cloudified similarly to SmartOS), SAN storage and enterprise folks will sit up and take notice. It just seems sort of late to the party and HP already made a go it. Such an offering must be demonstrably optimized for segment(s) (competing head-on with the commodification of AWS would be pointless) and sales/migration prof svcs efforts must actively hustle customers to switch with provable TCO savings and operational agility. PS: I did such with a consulting team early on to bring enterprise folks onto AWS with hard-core financial and other high-importance apps. Folks may not realize how generally well-managed and physically-secured are AWS customer-facing boxes. Amazon has deep pockets, massive scale, category-defining experience, many complementary offerings, first-mover advantage and brand recognition.
Thanks for sharing this. I am currently learning Python and this is my approach:

[1] Work through Learn Python The Hard Way (both online and the book)
[2] Build an AI Agent to Solve Raven's Progressive Matrices

Focusing on these two things only provides the knowledge and practice necessary to learn and implement I believe. Obviously, I just started so maybe I'll provide an update once I get along further months from now.
You're mixing up leisure and idleness.

You're right about idleness, it's like a person going rotten from lack of structure. Feeling bad, seeking cheap pleasures, going crazy.

But the alternative is leisure. Being able to spend hours playing music, writing or drawing, having conversations with friends, or watching the clouds. Building something for fun, or gardening. Making videos or youtubes, anything!

What causes someone to be idle while another person enjoys leisure? It's hard to say, probably a combination of their peers, their upbringing, their moral character.

But not working is definitely NOT a universal bad.
Phase 1: HTML and modifying other people's javascripts to add terrible animated cursors etc. to my personal page.

Phase 2: took a class in high school on Visual Basic and learned more on the side so that I could make games with it. Made a couple games with it.

Phase 3: took essentially Java Programming 101 at a local community college concurrently with high school, and started to get serious about making games.

Phase 4: made about 30 projects in Java—just whatever I felt like working on at the time—games, game engines, an emulator, 3D model loading/animating/rendering library, tools for making content for games. Almost none of these were completely finished but I learned a ton with each, and sort of climbed a ladder with it, trying progressively more difficult things all the time. This lasted ~3 years.

Phase 5: got a repetitive strain injury from typing/mousing too much and stopped coding (not completely, but nearly) for several years. Studied mathematics and language more deeply than what school prompted me to previously, somewhat hoping this knowledge would come in handy if I could return to coding some day.

Phase 6: decided to work on a major project that I believed would allow me to efficiently write code with motion sensors (thereby avoiding the injury). This ended up being a pretty deep, difficult project that was actually doing something sort of novel in software for the first time, and I learned tons working on it over the next year and a half, primarily about programming languages and architecture (http://westoncb.com/projects/tiledtext).

Phase 7: I've been writing software professionally off and on for a few years now, still occasionally returning to side projects. I still retain an awareness for areas I can improve, but it's more about using than developing skills now. I've returned to html/javascript after all these years. It's interesting.
Speaking from personal experience, that's not always true.

When the company I worked for was acquired for team talent, they interviewed all but a handful of the engineers. Around half were given full time offers. Another group were given fixed-term offers and the remaining engineers didn't make it in.

I was given a fixed-term offer. Several months and many interviews later, I made it in as a full time employee. I was never outright rejected, but due to circumstances involving my contract and project work, I probably took around 9-12 Google interviews over that time.

They aren't fun. But in the end, I'd say it was worth it.

Some self-taught BASIC via computer books and what I believe was an Apple 2 Manual, an intro level C++ class around 12 or so (my "for beginners" C game programming books before then weren't actually for beginners - assumed you knew hexadecimal, grokked pointers, etc.), and then a ton more reading online coupled with forums and IRC channel trolling. Learned a lot through "osmosis" - just listening and trying to understand people talking about programming subjects I hadn't known about before. If one spends some time in Japan to practice getting really fluent in Japanese, I spent a lot of time in programming circles getting fluent in Programming.

First I was curious as to how computers could possibly work, then I wanted to build things for computers, and then people wanted to pay me to build things for computers. It's worked out pretty well for me so far.

Yes. If you use both, you can work it so you hit the maximum 53k per year, or 59k per year if you are 50+, and have a big chunk in the Roth side so you won't have to pay taxes on the money later (You pay now, of course).

Yep, which I think is the point of trusting Apple in the server segment. That they are all different adds to the point.
I assume because they are both loops that spur off of 495. It's definitely confusing, but it seems consistency in numbering won out over unique-ness.
I'd argue a book isn't really comparable to a website, if done correctly. A book needs to be self sufficient. Websites can move faster and suppliment with googling
I agree completely with what you say, which if i understand correctly, is exactly what I said. It was demand from market forces that increased the wages of software engineers, not a union fighting for those perks.

Would you elaborate on how is it nice to play on the street? For some reason I can't think of it being nice - quite opposite - I think it is dangerous (not to mention I don't see any fun in it). No matter the traffic is smaller. One car is enough to kill your kid.
Drinkable water/breathable air is worth any cost.
In many cases. Telling others... yes! I can learn how to do that.

At 17 a friend of mine asked me some help to port an old (and probably still working) COBOL app. Project wasn't really financed and absolutely not intended to be a production ready solution.

At 20 I was still working on that project. At that time in production and at least with the budget for us.

Year after year I can tell that my knowledge was totally community driven. Than.. I understood Unix (yes Microsoft was everything for 10 years). And I definitely understood how to code looking at other's code.

Btw. Thanks everyone for the open source.

I spent about five years working as a graphic designer (both parents were designers with home offices that they encouraged me to use as a teenager) before I realized it was a relatively difficult and unappreciated profession considering the average salary. At the time (I was about 24, 2004-ish) I was working closely with a team of java developers and I knew I was capable of doing what they did, so I just eavesdropped on all of their technical conversation and looked up the terms I couldn't understand. I had to do some flash work as part of my job, so I picked up some actionscript, read a bunch of materials on OOP freely available from Sun Microsystems at the time (not very high quality compared to what is available today). I stopped drinking, stopped going out on the town, and started coming home every day after work and reading everything I could find on actionscript and javascript, and building portfolio apps. I kept telling everyone I worked with that I was learning programming and eventually someone referred me to a small design agency that was looking for a junior developer. They ended up growing fairly rapidly with a lot of clients in the Seattle startup community, and that exposed me to the network that I still get my work from today. My first year there was hellish and I often had to sleep under my desk as I tried to keep up with client deadlines while learning on the job, but I eventually gained some proficiency and the rest is history. It has been my life's passion ever since, and I shudder to think how my life would have turned out if I hadn't taken that leap. I hope that I can have children and teach them everything I know about computers some day.

Edit: I probably wouldn't have been exposed to half of the stuff I now know if it weren't for HN, which I consider one of the treasures of the internet.
Of course they are. The House Kangaroo Court caucus is so out of ideas they're indulging the Alex Jones set. At some point the US government needs to look into recouping the costs of all this frivolous investigation from the Republican party or the congressmen themselves.

Public opinion is turning on capital punishment[1]. Anything those with power can do to draw attention to its failures will continue and further that momentum. Yeah, those two guys were probably going to be executed either way, but he could have impacted others by accelerating the pace of reform. Similar impact has been made elsewhere in the last decade, in states like Illinois where moratoriums have been imposed when officials and governors have come to their senses before the lawmakers.

In terms of what an appropriate sacrifice is, I suppose there's a pretty wide spectrum. At the extreme, he could've publicly resigned and refused to have any part in something so unethical. On the lighter end, he could've penned an op/ed stating that it's a terrible practice but that he's going to stay and do his part to make it as comfortable as possible for the condemned, while calling on lawmakers to end the practice. I'm not prescriptive about how exactly people should react when their ethics are challenged, but I think it's reasonable to ask them to wander in the direction of their moral compass even when their job points the other way.[2]

[2] Obviously, some people would be hurting for work if they lost their job, and cannot afford to take big risks or piss off their bosses. But that doesn't apply to prison wardens, and if anything, the imperative of a prison warden to have solid ethics is much higher than that of a typical worker.

Yeah, suburbanization is a symptom of a failure of the social contract - people fleeing from terrible schools, crime, racial division, etc.

"A nice place to raise children" is a fairly transparent way of saying "a neighborhood with no black people," and they're not wrong: due to structural racism and America's unwillingness to deal with it's core issues, the white middle class really doesn't have another choice.

I have never heard of African Americans emptying a house while the elderly occupants are still in, tearing apart the pipes to re-sell for tin, throwing the occupants down the stairs to die in agony, with a broken hip, for hours, all that for 50c worth of copper.

If it happened, I have never heard Jessy Jackson explain on national TV that this is perfectly normal and that property is a cultural thing and that that kind of “cultural misunderstanding” is entirely the fault of Police brutality and forced education.

I have never heard of African American claims that at 6’2” tall guy with visible muscle lines, a full beard and a deep voice is 12 y.-o., has not document to prove it, and therefore cannot be charged with grand larceny and barbaric violence, even if he was caught in the act and the whole thing is on tape.

I have never heard Rev. Jesse Jackson explain that forcing the public rape of an 11 y.o. by her 13 y.-o. cousin is also a cultural thing.

When a African American drug lord is arrested, his gang might challenge the authorities and defend him, but the vast majority of his victims, generally also African American, rejoice -- they do not spit racist slurs.

Some, very few, African American can, on occasion us racially charge epithet. They do not casually say that the live of a Gadjo is not worth the clothes he’s wearing and you’d be happy to help yourself if he were your size. To his face. African American don’t see White Americans as cattle to prey upon.

The contempt some, most Roma have for Gadjo, is reminiscent of WWII rhetoric. Europe has changed since; not sure Roma culture has. If it has, the groups that are far more visible to Gadjos in Europe didn’t get the memo.
