Sorry to vent on you, specifically, but many people seem to have missed the point where I said I wanted them.

I just don't want to be forced into a jail cell 100% of the time. I want an escape hatch to do the needful once in a while to do something that the language designer never planned for.
Reality is much more complex than that. Google's index has been tiered for many years, see e.g.

https://search.googleblog.com/2012/05/search-quality-highlig...

• New index tier. [launch codename "cantina", project codename "Indexing"] We keep our index in “tiers” where different documents are indexed at different rates depending on how relevant they are likely to be to users. This month we introduced an additional indexing tier to support continued comprehensiveness in search results.
Honestly, I think just because it's so exceptionally un-cool. PHP may not be that cool either, but Facebook uses (has used?) it, and it's at least not as strict and "enterprise-y" as Java.
The technology group must be in constant dialogue with the product/marketing group to create a coherent and shared vision of a profitable product. Together they form the product decision-making team.
Good idea. I've just done the same. Thanks both
In 1985 I'm sure they didn't use computers for gaming.

Umm, am I misreading your sentence? Because the 1985 me would like to discuss the finer points of Atari's Star Raiders that I had on my Atari 800. Oh, you mean professional computers used for professional stuff like accounting? Yeah, those ran things like Spacewar! just fine. But again, I probably missed something in what you're trying to say.

I found it surprising that people had these concerns about radio and tv in the past

TV was first described as a "vast wasteland" over 50 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_N._Minow). One could say that "they" will always have something negative to say about technology. OTOH, turns out "they" are often right to a large degree. For every Sesame Street are at least a half dozen reality shows.

Oh, I agree; there are use cases, but the original announcement billed it as a better alternative to high speed rail, and I just don't think it is in remotely the same category.
It's very nice, however much too inactive for most people to use regularly.
not sure why this was down voted, but whatever, my questions remain and if anyone is willing to answer, i'd appreciate that.
Jack of all trades, master of none!

It can be a good thing or a bad thing. Young organizations need generalists who can get things done. Late stage organizations need specialization, due to volume of work and complexity of issues.

I know a solid front end guy, who is great on the design side, he also happens to dabble in the back end and does well for him self there. I don't think I would leave him alone in a scalability crisis, and he shouldn't be the one setting up servers and dealing with security. Would he make a good early hire? He sure would, but if you business is growing then your going to out grow him pretty quickly!

I am more of a back end developer and my career has been built around companies that are falling to scale. At some point you need people focused on care and feeding of all that server code, it has to be fast and play nice with the infrastructure that your running, or need to run. Most of the time these situations are a fire (scalability isn't sexy, and it isn't paid much attention till its a big problem) and I frankly enjoy that aspect of it.
Runaway successes like FB are outliers. Failed businesses OTOH are quite common and usually have a number of causes where bad technology choices can be at least a factor.

You call it poor management in retrospect, but it's succeeding in spite of the tools when you're still doing ok. There's a lot of companies that exist in between failure and "Facebook" who don't have hockey stick growth curves who also can't afford needlessly higher technology costs, whether that's in infrastructure or staffing or opportunity costs in getting features to market. If PHP does't incur a higher cost personally, go for it, but it might be a strategic disadvantage later if you don't hit it big.
Can you be more specific on what "better" might mean to you particularly as a software developer?

Some things like "better look and feel" are not very actionable. :)

He's not blaming everyone. It's just that, as a species, we have failed and as a consequence, we all will suffer the same fate.

If you're a tremendously talented athlete on a bad team (think mid-2000's Kobe Bryant), it doesn't matter how well you play. Your team still loses.

Disturbingly high for the size of the company. I can point to several locations where one person is pivotal to core business functions and causes issues when they go on vacation.
That's why I never deploy on Fridays. For me, for everyone else.
Unfortunately the ubiquity of FB and G+ buttons, Google analytics and CDN use has raised a generation of web developers who don't see that as a problem.
Fair enough. However, I think you are underestimating the size of explosion that it would take to seriously damage something like this. Engineers will definitely think about things like earthquakes and accidental (or intentional) collisions (such as a truck hitting a support pillar).

I also think you are overestimating the number of terrorists running around with RPGs.

EDIT: Of course, when all is said and done, the additional engineering requirements to make it safe may also make it economically unfeasible, in which case, your original point about the dangers would be essentially correct.
> And contrary to popular belief, HTML was indeed originally designed for applications. Why do you think it has the form and input elements? Why do you think HTTP has OPTIONS, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE? If it were just about document delivery, GET would be enough.

Indeed, the original draft for HTML did not include forms or input elements[0]. While HTTP had POST, PUT, and DELETE, those were supposed to be used for uploading new content or replying to newsgroups. In particular, the semantics for POST were quite different[1]: “Creates a new object linked to the specified object. The message-id field of the new object may be set by the client or else will be given by the server. A URL will be allocated by the server and returned to the client. The new document is the data part of the request. It is considered to be subordinate to the specified object, in the way that a file is subordinate to a directory containing it, or a news article is subordinate to a newsgroup to which it is posted.”

While these features were added quite early in the development of HTML and HTTP, respectively, they certainly were not part of the original design.

There was recent research that coral adapted to cope with changing pH[1], but weren't adapting fast enough and the symbiotic algae that bound reefs together did not seem to adjust at all. Plankton is apparently equally vulnerable to acidification.

The unknown for coral is the rate of change of temperature.

Right, but a lot of other poll aggregators who don't have that baggage are also predicting a Clinton win, many with higher confidence than Nate Silver.
As a practical matter most of the byproducts of antimatter annihilation aren't amenable to being directed out the rear of a spacecraft by a nozzle, magnetic or otherwise. So the maximum theoretical efficiency is possibly better with advanced fusion drives than with antimatter.
Thanks, the OCaml stuff looks interesting (Wikipedia examples for structural types).

I think a better price comp would be eBay with "epacket" subsidized drop-shipping. Various straight-from-Asia doodads, in my experience, are vastly less expensive going that route.
Ha! I think you're absolutely correct. An interesting twist.
> I've ridden TGVs in Europe. At 250 Km/h (~150 Mph), it's bumpy enough that I have a hard time doing anything other than stare out the window.

This is the total opposite of my experience, I've ridden the TGV many times in France and I'm always amazed how smooth the ride is, without looking outside I wouldn't even notice I'm moving. It's actually a weird feeling to look outside as you see the landscape moving so fast.
It might be a sign that after churns of programming languages (explosion) in the last 2 years, people get bored re-writing solved-problems and started to focus on the real thing: solving newer problems and/or making money.

Or... could be a sign that the community is maturing :)

Does anyone have any experience with Rancher? I feel like it would fill a comparable role as Flynn. But I might be off base here.
I would never have agreed with you before, but I just came from a place where the fear of using something that was not sexy just paralyzed most of the developers at the company. They spent more time talking about new tech than implementing it. I've sworn off PHP, but at one point there I would almost have preferred they suggest we use it, if only to get something shipped.

Now I don't fret as much about unsexy tech. I do still advocate for new things when they make the team more productive, but I hope I never have to work at a place again where the latest and greatest stuff is used and people get nothing done.
I hate to be this guy... but 'ballistic' has two l's.

The elephant in the room is that facebook wants to directly engage with their users in order to control the advertising aspect. This startup uses the side-effect of Facebook (platform for friends to share stuff) while cutting out the business value proposition (advertising).

This is sad because I'm increasingly getting annoyed at Facebook's positionning between me and my friends. It's promoting behavior that is different from real life as they stand to gain from stoking outrages and heated discussions: more active user engagement!
It kind of irks me that they basically assume a cubic lattice. Nature does not form cubic lattices, when nature forms a lattice (for example, in a foam) it tends to form roughly dodecahedral cells (with coordination number 12). Given this property, a space-time lattice would be very nearly isotropic.
It's just that you are used to PHP. Async callbacks can be flattened with either ES6 generators or async/await by using TypeScript (Both of which require transpiling. nodejs alone would understand ES6 without it though.)

It's far better to do background tasks with its parallel capability.

The bigger concern is nodejs app server holds states between requests unlike PHP and as such when you define a static property on a class, it's held between all subsequent requests not giving you a clean state.

I'm trying to get used to nodejs for frontend as well but you should delegate db logics down to database triggers, so you don't have to duplicate logics between different languages if you have multiple or change language later on. Same goes for keeping config files in ini format or other language agnostic format.

Many PHP developers don't want to talk about it simply because of how negative the comments are, many coming from people that used PHP back 10 years ago when PHP had a really big security problem with sql injection and xss. The arguments for PHP don't appear to convince anyone, so why bother?
The .NET CORE is now open source and cross platform. Cross platform compatibility with the exact same source code, and the killer features/speed of C# makes its my personal choice for a server-side language. I would like to add that C# devs are not cheap and also seem to be slightly more limited in today's market compared to PHP devs.

LTS: See my comment below on upgrades. It should be minutes, not hours, and although Fedora does update every six months, we overlap intentionally and skip-a-release upgrades are supported. So this, I think, you should have now.

Background updates: needs work. It's a good suggestion.

Backup: ditto.

Patches: I'm not quite sure what you mean. We do attempt (and I believe usually accomplish) patching security updates and severe bugs quickly. Sometimes, we backport security fixes rather than advancing the version number.

Sane defaults: That's hard to argue with. :) Do you have anything specific in mind?

Thanks for the feedback.
Humans also intuit a whole lot of theorems (loosely speaking) which are false. There is nothing prohibiting an algorithmic process from generating statements which are variously (and, from the POV of the algorithm, indistinguishably) true but unprovable, true and provable, and false.
Correct. I think reversion to the mean is a non-sequitur here.

Neither the GP's quote, nor the OP, are making the statement "I understand that this mistake was an outlier, you'll probably never make this mistake again if you remain unchanged".

The claim being made is that acknowledging the mistake and learning from it can dramatically reduce the base probability of such mistakes happening again.
IMHO what is really needed in this topic is for people to stop having a violent allergic reaction every time the word "rape" is mentioned.

This debases the conversation much more than all the jokes and inept metaphors that have ever been made about rape. At least those don't intentionally attempt to censor or silence others they disagree with.
The headline is a bit of click-bait. The charges apparently include wire fraud, commodities fraud, market manipulation and spoofing. This is relatively boring stuff, if you omit the connection to the flash crash, which everyone agrees is tenuous at best.

It doesn't seem unusual at all to me that someone charged with fraud in US markets would get extradited to the US.
Was "anyone" as "annoyed" as I was about the "scare quotes" littered "throughout" the article? It was "hard" to read the "story".

I do some interviewing for my company sometimes. HR people suck at it, but they don't ask any forms of technical questions.

So it'd be strange to have such deep questions asked by a non technical person for such a high position.

Secondly, I was interviewed by Google once. The interview was great (even though I failed it).

Third, during this interview, I signed a kind of non disclosure.

On the other hand: I was also interviewed by Microsoft. The interviewer was non technical, and asked at least two tech questions (the difference between a struct and a class in C++, and what volatile meant). And, finally, Roy Osherove has a similar tale about Google.
It's annoying how the press release manages to have links for the institutions involved, the authors, various initiatives and departments, but not for the paper itself. Surely encouraging folks to read the work should be as important as trumpeting the fact that the work was done.

It is hard, particularly when management has put someone in a position they don't have the training for. In a junior developer that's understandable, but still painful when you have deadlines. Luckily, most developers are willing to learn and pretty good at seeing the patterns[1] of things done by the team.

To me, the biggest thing is don't lie to save feelings. You need to tell the truth or they will feel a whole lot worse later. Loosen yourself up. Don't go into that ridged pose. Talk evenly, and if you can manage it act in a jovial mood as you walk in. For the love of all you hold holy, know what they did code-wise, and take some damn notes before hand. Winging it will be the death of their trust. Teachers you don't trust aren't going to teach you anything.

I had a job where I was the C code reviewer, but was not allowed to program in C[2]. One developer, a fairly senior one, wrote some of the worst code I've ever seen. My code review was basically C 101 and it really was a tough chore to keep myself following good body language and words while still indicating the code needed a lot of changes to be acceptable. I really do blame the employer for setting the developer up to fail (no C training, just read a book and wing it). I did it ok, but I really wish I had a mentor of some sort in the room to give me a critique of my critique.

1) I really don't mean design patterns, more like the general pattern of code with that project / workplace.

2) Well, obviously I couldn't write C code since there would be no one to code review mine. Not obvious? Wasn't to me either to tell the truth. I got to spend my days programming in a reporting language and AWK. I only lasted 9 months (my 3 seasons in heck).
10 tips on not getting screwed by a client (from a developer)

Sounds like a tempting option amirite
Or Europe should stop giving away their taxpayers money :)
Yeah, Java has kind of "choked the ecosystem" for the last decade. That monster needs to retire before the industry can move forward (the language, at least, the JVM seems to work well).

Java generics seem easy enough to instantiate and use, but the mess when you implement one really discourages people from trying, usually. And if you do, the result is often a poster child for FUGLY code. Try declaring a java 8 lambda parameter that works with collections some time, and using that in a few places - serious COBOL-fingers and eye-burn time. Even a Pascal style "type" or C style "typedef" mechanism would have greatly reduced clutter when trying to create code that implements (java) generic operations.

Die, Java, die :-)
Yeah... And might I add how amazingly easy it is to configure? You write configuration, and it just works.

Of course I have no way of knowing this and it's totally unsupported by fact, kind of like your comment.

For every one not familar with german laws: You must drive right unless you are overtaking a slower car that is in front of you. And you are only allowed to overtake on the left side of another car. So if everyone drives the left lane, there's no way of overtaking anybody - something that would drive (no pun intended) all the other drivers nuts and you start to honk like crazy (which you are not allowed actually) or to give signals with the lights (which you are also not allowed) to the car in front of you ;)
You would've gotten it wrong though!

You need two newlines to finis the request, plus the HTTP 1.1 standard requires clients to send a Host: header for all requests.

Not saying every interviewer would care about that in an early screening process.

The people involved or wanting to use this buy so many chips from intel that if intel doesn't get on board, it's going to likely turn out badly for intel.
