I'm more inclined to use terms like boring than brutal.

I suspect that it's highly questionable whether a supersonic design would be able to do the "brutally long" flights without refueling. The market for the Concorde and I imagine the market for this is the CEO/investment banker/international lawyer who wants to do a quick hop from NYC to London or Paris--including day trips.

I've been on a transcontinental flight that was empty enough I could take over a whole row to stretch out and could wander around the aisle, and it was still tremendously physically uncomfortable after the first few hours. Even the nicest surroundings on airplanes have less room than the smallest office cubicle.
Well my experience is that we've had to always provide support. I had to deal with customers running Windows, but those customers that lacked a capable IT guy didn't have the actual know how to actually maintain a Windows server. And when that server crashes due to poor maintenance, guess who gets called.

Basically as a provider, you can never trust the customer's capability for maintaining the server that your solution runs on. It's much better to decrease your costs for delivering the required support.

Otherwise you're going to find yourself guiding somebody on what buttons to click in the Control Panel, for getting the damn network to work, on the phone, on a Saturday.
C# and SQL I might agree with. But ASP.NET and MVC = stable?

All the hidden view state and POST backs to re-render the UI... terribly difficult to troubleshoot and support in my experience.
The focus on drone programs is misguided. Drones are the best way to conduct a war and minimize casualties, of both US soldiers and foreign civilians. Traditional air strikes, artillary, ground assaults, or airborn assaults would result in much more death and destruction.

I expect you really just believe the US shouldn't be fighting the Taliban in the tribal area of Pakistan. But since we are, drones are the best way to do it.

Just look at what Russian intervention in Syria looks like. Or Saudi intervention in Yemen looks like. Drones are much less destructive.
I recently bought a Samsung Edge for Samsung Gear development, and went abroad for a few weeks so ended up using it with the SIM card for that country while still keeping my phone alive.

Apart from the benefits of the edge "design" not being too relevant for me, the biggest issue I had was accidentally hitting notifications when I pulled the phone out of my pocket. At one point I somehow accidentally deleted an app, or something that resulted in the app being removed from the phone entirely. Granted I was travelling, doing a lot of hiking and so perhaps it was more aggressive handling than normal - but in general I found that not having an edge on the phone really hindered my ability to use it, and forced me to be extra careful in handling of the phone in regular use as well as when I pulled it out of my pocket or back in.

I've been seeing a lot of these "edge less" screens and a lot of other features that people don't really care about, with a move away from what customers actually want. Like removing the headphone port in the iPhone 7 or going in this direction with edge to edge screens and making the phone thinner and thinner but faster and faster (meaning less battery life, and spottier performance since the CPU needs to be throttled).

Smart phones have been a commodity for a bit now - and the important things are the incremental improvements in battery life, performance, screen resolutions and graphics, networking efficiency and most importantly the services that power the phone which is effectively a way to access the internet.
I think if Twitter settled down and optimized they could probably be making a healthy profit. That's sort of what I was getting at in my OP.
I thought Skype calls used to be P2P
We've been researching solutions in this space for quite a while.

We have 6x 80" smartboards and have tried everything from Lync to Realtimeboard.

While some solutions work better than others, no one has solved a fundamental problem... When you try to collaborate in real time with a remote person - all the human communication cues are lost.

Collaboration is a dynamic and fluid process. We subconsciously read each other to gauge the reaction to a proposal, we interject and riff off of others. We try to pull introverts into the conversation and tame the extroverts.

All of this is practically impossible when a colleague is elsewhere on the network.

I have flown at least one international trip in J every month for the last 2 years. (mostly transatlantic)

I can tell you, if it's truly the same price as J, and you get a domestic FC seat -- it's totally worth it. A typical TATL-EastCoast segment is about 7-9 hours long depending on many factors. If they can cut that to 3 hours, it's a huge win.

First of all, it means that instead of leaving the EU Sunday so I can work Monday morning, I could leave Monday morning about 8AM, and arrive in the USA (assume I have one connection, could be on either side) about 8AM. I've just gained an entire (_weekend_) day of my life back.

Now going home, TATL flights are always overnight. Instead though, I could sleep in a normal bed, get up at 4/5am (I try and stay on EU time anyway for my 5-day trips, get up early, go to bed early), and then land same day and be home before dinner -- and not spend the entire arrival day running on 5 hours of (crap) "sleep".

I had a similar experience; used to have 4.8+ rating on Upwork, then accepted a job which went bad largely due to poor and inaccurate spec provided by the client. He actually went to my company website, found out the team members' emails and sent a message to everybody castigating me. I basically begged to him to stop doing any further damage. Upwork always give their clients the benefit of doubt because they know they'll always have a cheap source of freelancers from countries where living cost is low.

CNTK has significantly higher performance with one or more machines; great multi-gpu scalability. Can train harder on bigger datasets given your resources.
> I'd love a system that lets me view changelogs by the version "level" I want.

Our MIS vendor offers this, and it's indispensable. Especially considering that each of their customers are on a different version at any given time. You select your current version, and any other version to compare it to, and it spits out a report of all the differences from the module level down to the object attribute level, all nicely separated into logical groups. Due to the complexity of the system, I couldn't imagine a successful upgrade without it.
Very nice, definitely excited to try this out!

Doesn't it lead to inconsistent layout if someone forgets to add it?
I am not a designer, but few things irks me more than paddings varying across the same 'components'.

From experience, your method is easier to think through, but later on it is more time consuming to modify a layout. pa1 and the like should be treated the same as magic numbers.
The Drug War seems so out of control and Orwellian at this point, that I unfortunately can't think of any way to stop it, as long as the general public thinks that it's somewhere in the range of "overbearing but necessary" to "annoying and probably evil but doesn't really affect me".

I'm excited by the chinks in the armor that have come with marijuana legalization/decriminalization, and I think once that spreads across much of the US, some of the Drug War will have lost its teeth, but I don't imagine it will make a large dent the surveillance industry.

Now that we have built the infrastructure, conceived of parallel construction, etc there will always be a shadowy enemy lurking in our midst that we need to turn it on. Its kinda like having a giant military-industrial complex. You really can't sustain it without war, yet it has its own momentum and seeks to sustain itself, so it makes war more likely.

I'm not sure how you can argue drones minimize foreign civilian casualties, given the constant reports of drones bombing weddings and social gatherings based on the location of a cell phone. That's basically just repeating direct propaganda.

Ask HN: What can DevOps learn from the recent DDoS attacks?
Think about it...thousands if not millions of devices on different networks, hardware, OS, patches being made to act in unison by some hacker code...

Meanwhile, it sometimes takes many tries to install a simple docker daemon properly using Ansible, Chef or Puppet over a corporate network, having all the necessary permissions, on a perfectly standardized set of hosts.

What can we learn from the setup which made this DDoS attack possible to improve our daily DevOps tasks?

OK...yes...and security.

In activation, if you're dealing with more than a couple servers, you've almost certainly got volume licensing and a multiple activation key, which means that your install scripts will automatically update for you. Likewise, installing features like ssh and packaging can be automated as well. A lot of the things that people criticize windows for haven't been true for a long time, especially in the enterprise/service area -- there are a lot of tools out there for making things just as easy, if not easier, than *nix.

5 Smart Strategies to Increasing Productivity in the Workplace
I'm a bit confused over how many players are involved. Is this right?

1. The author is a freelance writer and does not have any relationship to Upwork. I'll call her Author.

2. Someone has been doing freelance work via Upwork, claiming to be the author. That person apparently has been scamming at least some people who have hired him via Upwork. I'll call this guy Scammer.

3. Someone who was scammed by Scammer to the tune of $2000 wants his money back, and is going after Author because he thinks Author is Scammer. I'll call this guy Mark.

Assuming I've got this right, some things are unclear to me. For instance, has anyone told Mark that Author is not Scammer?

Author seems to be mostly trying to get Upwork to deal with the problem, and Upwork is trying to dodge responsibility so I doubt they are going to notify Mark that Scammer was an identity thief and that they have no idea who Mark should be going after.

(Upwork almost certainly very much wants to avoid doing anything that might make labor regulators in any jurisdiction that they may be subject to think that Upwork is actually an employer of the so-called freelancers rather than just a provider of a marketplace for freelances and those who need freelancers to hook up).

Looking over all this, it occurs to me that it might be a good idea in general for people to maintain a list online of places where they have accounts that are visible to the public, with a disclaimer that any public accounts purporting to be them not listed should be treated as fake. Put this list on your website and/or main social media so that it is easily found by anyone searching on your name or the name of any of your public accounts. (If you do not want to make it easy to correlate your accounts at different places, limit this to accounts that are already easily traceable back to your real identity).
I hadn't thought about that, it's a great point. This company wants to make a product that is neither the "sonic ..." or the "going ..." of their name. They should change that.

You're confusing webforms (with viewstates) and .net MVC, which is stateless.

I don't think so, though I don't know in practice I imagine there would be categories that aggregate the individual codes.
>Now going home, TATL flights are always overnight.

Not true, at least NY to London. You can leave in the AM and arrive (relatively late) at night.
I think Knuth makes some good points.

I'm also a fan or science that is presented artfully. I'm not sure those are the best words to describe it, but 'artful' is the feeling I get when watching a Richard Feynman lecture or see an interview where he talks about physics.
No, they're equally destructive as standard air assaults. They've taken the place of manned bombing runs and created an additional layer of abstraction between pilots and the people they kill.

You know the best way to minimize causalities? Stop creating wars. In thirty years from now, I'd put money that declassified papers will show the US and allies explicitly created ISIS. It fits the pattern (1973 US led military coupe in Chile that killed 11,000 civilians, the Iranian Contra Scandal, The School of the Americas, the failed Bay of Pigs, the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq .. the list is as long as you want to make it).

You're right, drones do have less causalities than ground troops for instilling fear and creating needless wars. So let's step back and stop the needless wars.
We’ve made some recent improvements to make the porting as easy and as simple as possible, our objective being to give an enhanced amazing user experience from using our platform. We’ve also making progress in completing all the iOS UI to Android UI mapping but the major feature on Xcode 8 such as auto-layout will be supported in November. he major improvement made in this release is the automatic apk generation so the user can visualise the UI part of the app in an Android device simulator.

In order to visualise the apk, make sure you turn-off for now auto-layout in the iOS submitted project.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Very intriguing concepts.

Especially for quickly prototyping an idea.

Even ACA, his "big liberal achievement" was actually a right-wing private industry-focused law, that he mainly copied from Republicans.
That is reporting on Hemispheres when it was disclosed back in 2013; this article includes newly-reported information about the availability and use of the system.
Yes, but only after they had a large volume of iPod sales, I think. Apple has also used their scale with iPhone to buy components in such large volumes none of their competitors can get a lower price, which means Apple can actually be price competitive when they perceive it in their interest to do so.
I was thinking the same thing. Anker seems to be able to put out decent quality hardware affordably. So I'd be surprised if their version is over $299. Unfortunately I can't see myself spending more than $99 on something like this.

You can probably substitute "The Less Wrong crowd" for "analytical philosophers", as they're sort of the hobbyist or non-institutionalized version of the latter. You could also just try reading the Derrida article I linked to see why people with a rationalist bent have historically recoiled from his writings.
>How can we practice diligence if doing a full day's worth of work takes about 20 minutes

We re-evaluate what a 'full day's worth of work' is. And, hopefully, become more productive.

I don't disagree with (what seems to be) your central point.

Labour-replacement technology reduces the extrinsic value of human industriousness, increasing laziness as a result. That is, assuming we don't compensate by demanding more economic output. But we do demand more... I guess it's not enough to compensate.

I'm reminded of the idea of the 'power process' in the essay The industrial society and its future.
What if the hassle simply does not outweigh the cost of the flaky VMs?

There are several reasons the hassles might not be worthwhile even if the free VM is 100% reliable. Most other VM hosts offer mostly Linux solutions and Linux skill is not always transferable to windows. If your organization has those skills then the wasted time cost might than a familiar VM would have cost.
A global, permanent, public, append-only log for 11 cents a record is pretty useful.
I doubt most people that own expensive smartphones utilize them and could do with much less.
Monitoring calls made to external APIs isn't easy. The article touches on a nice approach to do so.
The data is there for projects like node. Issues are tagged with things like SEMVER-MAJOR and SEMVER-MINOR, doc, etc...

It just needs a front-end to slap on there, and maybe a bit of standardization to make it easy to pull this data from not just Node's docs, but from others that adhere to it as well.

Backing ChatOps at Kickstarter with Cog
While - in general - you are quite right, most of the bigger libraries that I use in production offer interfaces for both styles. Mongoose for instance. You can easily use it with Promises or with the old-school callback style. Same for unit test libraries. And this trend will only continue. There is a lot of cool research being done in combining JS with hardcore FP (fantasy-land, ramda) and this will of course influence future developments. Not to forget the FRP community around React/Bacon etc...
I predict that in a year or two, the majority of devs will use Promises as if they always have been there.... And hey. Promises are Monads [1], so maybe we will also soon see a lot of Eithers and Maybes in Production code.
I taught today a lecture about this at my company, and people with no prior exposure to FP immediately loved it.

Thats also one cool thing of the js/node community. We just adopt stuff and try it out. With microservices, this also poses no problem. If it doesn't work, do it differently in the next service.

[1] I know, I know. A+ Promises are violating some laws BUT the general idea holds. And there are full monadic promise libraries like Data.Task or Fluture available.
