We're moving to AWS for our next release, managed by Rackspace. Had the same philosophy as you for years, and have saved a lot of money with DIY (maybe in the tens of thousands).

Turns out server admin is not my skillset, and it's caused problems, headaches and risks in the past.

I consider the additional cost going forwards in effect as our next hire and an important one. For small startups looking to save money DIY can be a good option, but moving onto the cloud at a later date can be a big burden.

They do not leave only positive reviews. This is not encouraged by group owners, nor reality I experienced first hand.
Jest used to be very meh. Also, Jest by default would cater to more "purist" unit testing. Everything mocked, everything isolated, runs in node, no browser.

A lot of people in the frontend world equates unit testing with Selenium tests (aka: integration tests) and get really ruffled/confused by "pure" unit tests.

Now Jest changed the defaults to what most people expect, which will confuse them less, I suppose.

I really don't understand WHY though; aside from paranoia.

The entire point of LGPL is supposed to be that your corporation provides a binary blob which can be linked against any other such binary blob that supports the requested interface. In this manor someone can use any modified (usually security updates) version of the LGPL library with the rest of your work.

I guess if you require obfuscation or signing of your company's blob things are more difficult. However in that case why aren't you using a security model that signs the code you own and segments out the code you do not?

Don't find it surprising that the author intentionally makes his/her story more complex than necessary.

For example, you can use "Typescript+WebPack" instead and ditch all the blah-blah on Babel/SystemJs, but that wouldn't help the naritive much, now would it!

Keep in mind that amazon has listings per product (vs eBay with listing per product and seller)

It is quite likely that original product was fine, that's why all the reviews, but then it got out of stock and new seller brought new product, which was different (by mistake or on purpose) and that one was people complaining about.

Let me propose the xkcd2 scheme, to be used like xkcd2:927, because who really needs those two slashes?!
This one seemed interesting so I gave it a bit of effort. The ad is well written and pulls the right levers. Well done on that front.

I'm a bit disappointed in the challenges page. The copy on the site tries to emphasize how difficult they are and that anyone who passes the challenges would be considered a serious candidate. While they were fun challenges, they're way too easy.

I completed multiple challenges then sent along my information. As soon as they saw a resume that didn't include much experience in the security domain, I was basically ignored.

Recommendations for Praetorian:

If you want the challenges to mean anything, make them more significant so that completion would actually be a strong positive signal for the candidate rather than a BS-detector. If someone passes your challenges, you should be begging them to work for you, not the other way around.

Cut back a bit on the elitist rhetoric, it is a bit of a turn-off. I think it will attract more mediocrity and scare away some great talent.

Final word: the challenges are fun for anyone and if you like that kind of thing, you will enjoy beating them.
And remember what it was like when they did have desktops?! Thank the gods they use their phones instead now. Leave the desktops to those who know how to actually use a computer.
"Ah, maybe you're right. I think I'm used to configuration over convention "

I think you meant the reverse.
You still need a server admin, cloud or not. It's not like there's a magic button in the cloud that replaces an admin.
They sure are bound by the amount of information you give them.

On Facebook they tend to have your picture, full legal name, social circles, place of work and where you live from the start.

I know plenty of people who use online markets pseudonomously (and also break fb policy on that), and meet in public places for the money/item exchange. It's normal here to only share first names in a trade.
There really is something to be said about simplicity. I love getting Flask/Sinatra/Spark/microframeworkhere and then just rendering a server side template that gets manipulated client side by jQuery. It's hard to move away from that sometimes.

As far as conversion, I don't notice transcompilation times. I'm at Ember 2.8 and whatever other versions that were setup.
Why Websites Need Plugins
Great now I am sad because my phone is considered old :P
because real webapps, that actually do stuff that can make money and keep users happy, are complicated.

Even now, Webpack is kind of feature anemic compared to what the real world needs. We just do with what we have. Or in the case of companies with $$$ to hire devs to work with it, we just build a shitload of plugins and loaders.

Like tuned instruments for a specific context. It's so natural for a fly system to swerve around in all direction, avoid many obstacles and land somewhere like it's tuesday.
I think it's unfair to characterize it as a waste.

If the intent was to strengthen the war on terror, you would have to quantify both the value of profits derived by the military industrial complex as well as the underlying value for the wealthy of a strong petrodollar and weigh the benefit against that.

Calling it a waste is implicitly absolving those responsible of any notion of intent. Accepting that the dissemination of propaganda is primarily intended for "tracking" purposes is a very generous postulation in my opinion.

I applaud this but how about getting rid of the vine reviews too? I don't trust any Amazon review where someone has gotten something for free.

I would be much more annoyed if I found out that state legislatures across the nation were actively trying to make it so that tens of thousands of people can't vote. I would be especially annoyed if the people affected were overwhelmingly the segment of the population who is least able to fight such efforts due to their lack of resources and influence.

Of course I don't have to _imagine_ this scenario, because it happens every year.

Real harm, happening right now vs an imaginary harm that happens so rarely we essentially have to guess what form it would take... this is an easy one.

(re: guessing what form it would take -- if we're going to imagine a fake voting threat, we can just as easily imagine that these same people have the capability to get fake licenses. That happens _all the time_, after all, in college towns across the country. Amazingly these people seem to all use their fake licenses to get a drink, and not to go vote illegally for other people. Silly them!)
Hmm. They actually may have a really good pitch to make to Amazon if they're even interested in being bought. If they have some really good models for detecting fake reviews (which presumably they do beyond disclaimer string matching), that might be a good investment for Amazon to make for enforcing their new guidelines.
Indeed! I meant to mention the nc option, but I've found that ftpput/get are more often available than nc, perhaps something to do with the ubiquity of ftp.

What comparison? Can I simply ask the colo for a brand new dedicated server every time the machine dies or I want to do a new release? Do they offer services to provision, start, and load balance to new dedicated servers when the ones I have are at high utilization?

No? They don't? Maybe that's because you're comparing fundamentally different things that are only superficially similar to each other.
A Grand Bargain to Make Tech Companies Trustworthy
All attempts at such will fail. vfat won because it works in Windows without additional drivers. Anything you come up with to replace it will also have to work in Windows without additional drivers.

It will also have have a workable implementation in what is essentially equivalent to the public domain, and be simple enough to process that hardware manufacturers can read it with a microcontroller.

I would love to see it happen, but I am not optimistic.
I'm not sure you agree with the parent if the parent is saying "no, it's not possible, because the tech is so hard", and you're saying, "it's not an issue of technology, but the business side".
Personally, I think Vue.js is the way to go now. It is very simple and a highly thought out framework.
Unfortunately, you lost me in that first paragraph. I think you left off a set of quotes on the first use of "evented."

Regardless, I meant the idea of moving everything to a communication of events between subsystems. To be fair, the sibling read me correctly and stated that if you just ignore the distributed nature of events, then things aren't that hard.

However, it is easy to follow the lure of "I'll go ahead and make this work for the distributed case" from the beginning. This is for two reasons. First, why not? :) Second, it is seen as something that would be very hard to add in later.

So, I can't disagree that it is an anti-pattern or unrelated. However... I would be surprised if the next version of this article didn't go over the distributed nature. Indeed, it already covers how this more correctly mirrors the distributed nature of the organization.

I do releases by baking a new virtual machine with the code+config built in and booting it. I guess it's possible to do that on real hardware, but calling it simply "harder" borders on disingenuous.
Same exact experience here! I was like "What is the point?" but I've caught and released 5 so far and I'm excited to keep going!
Are you okay picking your state management paradigm, and additional tooling? Are you more functional or OO minded. Do you lean towards TypeScript/static typing? Do other people you are going to be working with have experience with either of the tools/platforms?

For me, imho React + Redux + fetch api go a really long way to get you there, combined with material ui, or react-bootstrap with react-icons you're all but set for getting started. The boilerplate can be painful at first.

I found getting Angular up and running (before their cli) was really much more painful... It's gotten better. I just don't like the indirection and the angular templating dsl. I find JSX and feature organizational structure much easier to accomplish and grow with in React. I find that Redux is a great middle ground for a unidirectional state management paradigm (combined with async functions and redux-thunk). Redux has some more cognative overhead in getting started, but once you have it, growing it is all more of the same, instead of leading to a path of spaghetti.

I don't think TFA really answers if it lives up to the hype, I think the hype has died down at this point, and a lot of people are wanting to move on.

I was actually impressed by the desktop experience. It looked and sounded beautiful.

It was successful too. I pulled out my phone.
Absolutely. I would get comfortable with a build tool like web pack and then try and build a quick and dirty vue.js app. I like that much of the complexity is opt-in and you can grow into parts of the framework / write your own as your apps needs evolves, something I particularly had trouble with when using Ember. (It's very much their way or the highway for everything, and several features we wanted to implement, the answer was simply "don't do that")
Having shipped Ember apps to millions of users and being with it since 1.0, I'd say it's an excellent community, but not the tool I'd reach for again.
The light would shine through each student's answer card and key, like when you press two sheets of sketch paper together. So any mismatches would be easy to see and mark as you scan down the card. It would only take a few seconds to score each card and there would be no cognitive load at all, as in you wouldn't have to evaluate any answers.
It's about time. I can't believe they ever allowed it in the first place.
