if itunesconnect is any indication then Apple cares a lot more about developers than it did five years ago.
I think what sets many people off -- including myself -- is that the "recommended" libraries change so often. It's like a joke: "You're still using npm for installing packages? That's SO 2015! Of course you should be using Yarn."

After 21 years of JavaScript, one would expect a little more stability, so that the web app you build in 2016 with cutting-edge technology wouldn't be scoffed at in 2017 and obsolete by 2018.
Very good point. That sounds similar to when I try to explain why it's good to try to exceed expectations. It's hard to give a convincing reason because the benefit is often indirect or intangible.

I'll look out for statistics on TV and see if I can incorporate the algebra-as-a-foundation concept.
Before you hop on board with this "pain free" solution, you should accept the fact that you may end up maintaining this: https://github.com/widdix/aws-cf-templates/blob/master/wordp...

There should be easier way, e.g. in Azure you can start WordPress (includes MySQL, limited to one app service instance) with one click, not sure what are the costs of maintaining that, but at least starting one in that case is pain free.
If you just want to earn money, go for Machine Learning with Tensorflow and dig deep into Python. Thats very valuable and there's lots of positions for people of all skill levels in this area. Plus it sounds cool at dinnerparties.

Hey now, we need to get that oil out of the US and into a higher priced market ASAP, hence the need for a new pipeline and the removal of restrictions on the exportation of domestically produced oil.

That way, these large foreign oil companies like BP (owned by Britan's public employee retirement funds) and Royal Dutch Shell can make a ton more dough while also raising prices by a few bucks in the domestic gas & natural gas market.

This is clearly for sites that require more than a fraction of a droplet to run. Just because WordPress can be run on a tiny instance doesn't mean that every WordPress user does -- some sites are actually popular.
I think the point is that you can get hardware which is cheaper, faster and better. To give one example:

http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade $2099 with QHD + touch, 256GB SSD, nVidia 1060, 1.9kg

Plus Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.0, HDMI.

From my understanding Armin's complaint isn't solely that you have to pass it around but the fragmentation of not having a standard way of doing it:

>> pass the event loop to all coroutines. That appears to be what a part of the community is doing. Giving a coroutine knowledge about what loop is going to schedule it makes it possible for the coroutine to learn about its task.

>> alternatively you require that the loop is bound to the thread. That also lets a coroutine learn about that. Ideally support both. Sadly the community is already torn of what to do.

Personally I'm not clear on a lot of the minority-use cases that spawns some of this complexity (e.g. when and why would you need to move event loops across threads?) and am quite out of my depth as well.
In my humble opinion, WordPress is something to be surpassed, that is why it fails on being cloud-friendly. If someone makes a system as customizable and flexible as WordPress it would be a huge success.

> dismissal of design as a sort of thin veneer, somewhat fake, lipstick-on-good-bacon

Part of the problem is that people confuse good design with pretty design (on both sides). The purpose of design is not to improve aesthetics but to improve usability. Aesthetics is an important component of usability, to be sure, but it is not the primary goal.

The difficulty is that power-user control/discoverability/aesthetics ends up being a pick-two triangle. And most designs pushing aesthetics also push discoverability, and power users feel shafted with an overly simplistic tool that isn't as productive as their tool which emphasizes control but totally lacks in discoverability and maybe leaves aesthetics to plug-in themes.

Good design tries to maximize all three.

> 1. My favourite genres are K-Pop and Industrial – it helps that they are also very energetic genres — and my rule is that I can only listen to them while programming. Helps to really put me in the “you’re working now” space (thanks to Julian Shapiro for this tip)

I never consciously did this, other than I obviously went to the music and pressed play, but since about 10 years ago, when I really need to focus on work, I listen to a playlist of what I would call prog trance/house trance, a genre I would absolutely never listen to for the enjoyment of music. It's really weird but it soothes me when working, and it doesn't distract (by me getting too into it), nor distracts me by being annoying.

It reminds me of when I was a teen and I was an extremely tuned night person (still am, but conformed), and was really hard to wake up. Slept through alarm clock at highest setting. I scheduled a playlist on my computer, and allowed it to wake up from hibernation for scheduled events to play through connected speakers. It however ruined any music I used this way, so I had to pick music I didn't like to begin with.

>In addition, some of the DDoS attacks we've seen recently would be a lot easier to prevent if NAT wasn't a thing

I know that NAT is not a security feature but, pragmatically, one could argue the opposite: lots of vulnerable devices today aren't part of a botnet just because they haven't been discovered being hidden behind NAT.

That's the reason why IP webcams are so popular in recent botnets: usually they need to be remotely accessible so they are outside NAT (or, seldom, they get port forwarding or in some sort of DMZ).
This guide is spot on for WordPress on AWS.

The persistent and shared EFS volume was the missing piece for running WordPress without frustrating patches.

And CloudFormation is the AWS best practice.

Convox has a few serious WordPress installs. The only difference is that it uses ECS so those EC2 instances can be utilized for more apps.

Also you can hack on the WordPress site locally with Docker via 'convox start'

Firts, you should revive those coding skills, because coders can work alone or teams. Second, you should get a program, or just Excel to make list of your strengts and weaks. Second, you should learn some new coding languages like bash. Third, you should learn social skills, because they are always good to have. If you have good social skills, you will go far with life. Fourth, just think. Are you interested of something? Do you want to do something that you think is useful? Just relax on your bed, look your roof, listen music and let the thoughts come in to your head. If you catch something good go with it. Have Fun!

As much as I would like to defend Xcode it isn't a great tool allround. Visual Studio + ReSharper feels like it's from another planet, yet it's so much nicer than anything not from JetBrains or Microsoft.

It's not crashing all the time but yes I get some vague bugs that are resolved by restarting, clearing some files or simply compiling again. Not to mention Swift 2.3 in the last version of Xcode 7 isn't compiling Swift 2.3 code in Xcode 8.

But it's fast and the code completion works pretty well.

That would be ideal. I'd love to see it as part of an Airport. There is some overlap in features already - I can back up to Airport or OS X Server, for example.

Exactly. If it's already out in the wild, being used, it's critical. venturebeat/microsoft have no idea what they are complaining about. users are already at risc and the vendor has to publish at least some sort of advice.

The explanation of this policy is https://security.googleblog.com/2013/05/disclosure-timeline-...

I believe Microsoft should have recommended a short term recommendation to mitigate this risk until a patch is available. Such as "Don't connect to the internet...", but instead they recommended to use Windows 10, which does not help at all. Windows 10 is actively exploited this way.
Its all very well getting hot under the collar about the influence peddling of a charmed circle, but I have yet to see a plausible alternative organisation. Every system of government comes down to Dunbar's Number (the size of a group who can reasonably expect to know each other), and the unavoidable fact that people in charge of allocating resources will tend to allocate as much as they can to themselves. Attempts to disrupt this, such as sunshine laws and term limits, also have a tendency to disrupt effective governance as well, because people who can't negotiate a compromise in secret become hostage to various special interest groups who will reject any move towards compromise. If nobody can compromise then nothing gets done.

Also, check the entire discography of Vinnie Moore.

I'm into retrowave lately. Perturbator and Dance with the Dead make my fingers start moving by their own.
I like to listen to stuff like minimalistic Detroit techno mixes from people like Jeff Mills or Robert Hood. Loopy simple techno that slightly changes over the course of minutes while blending in and out of the previous and next song in a subtle way. Yet it's quite hard and energetic compared to most Berlin styles of minimalistic techno.

Lately I've been picking up on retro Wave kind of music, I see Com Truise is on the list as well. It's slightly less annoying for other people since there's still something like a melodic component but it doesn't have too much of a build up to a massive drop thing that most EDM has. It rather continues all the time in rhythm.

Infrastructure as code offers a lower maintenance cost over time in many scenarios.

Sure you can click to set up WordPress on other hosts.

But how do you scale capacity of the servers or the database? How do you peer the network to your other cloud resources? How do you mirror the stack in another region?

With CloudFormation resource management is a few API calls away.

You can also use CloudFormation in point and click mode to create a stack and update its resources.

It may be overkill for some cases but for serious systems it's the best practice.

Yes.

Management remotely when everyone else is co-located is even worse. For instance, there was a nasty bug discovered late last week, and I didn't find out about it until Monday morning, and that's MY team. I feel like I look like an idiot to my superiors, and is one of the reasons I'm moving back to be co-located.

I started at this company in the office as a developer, and went remote after about 3 years because of personal reasons (actually remote - I moved 5 hours away). That's normally not really an issue with my company - a good chunk (maybe 40%?) of our developers are remote, so we're used to it.

However, shortly after I went remote (about a year), I moved into management, and all hell broke loose. I feel I'm not as effective as I could be because of my team, I'm the only one that's remote. I find myself finding things out after the fact, having less effective 1:1's because of the remoteness, I find it hard to build the relationships that are vital in management.

I'm moving back "home", so to speak, in June directly because of this. My wife has been very understanding, as it was mostly because of her that we moved away in the first place (pursuing her career).
I got the impression the DNS bit was legacy and being phased out. Could be wrong though.

Go live where there is no government, its great to act so infringed upon by the government in the place in which you currently reside, but you do have choices.

Not saying its a rosy picture to live in an area with no publicly owned infrastructure, or any baseline public services like water, sewer, trash, education, courts, etc, but there are places in Latin America which have legal carveouts for a non-governmentally controlled area to exist, without taxes, laws or infrastructure.

Unless you are willing to live & fight for your beliefs, they are absolutely worthless, Martin Luther King & Cesar Chavez didn't accomplish anything sitting at home, they took to the streets and organized like minded people to stand with them and fight for the way things ought to be, regardless what businesses or government tried to do.

The XPS13 has a hiDPI screen. Hardware wise, the screen definitely seems on-par with MBP but on the software side, it's a little infuriating encountering applications that don't support hiDPI.

But who knows, maybe I missed a setting somewhere to correct that.

I don't know what this means. I'm reading this as "Do I even trust a USB-C charger", which you can safely do if you buy something that adheres to the standards. A lot of chinese knock-offs don't, but the point of standards is that you shouldn't have to care.

I use to manage networks for small graphic design firms, local news papers, and other small businesses. In one or two instances I used OS X Server for network file management, and node backups. This looks like a further cleaned up version of that software. Over all once I got the software up-and-running it ran solid for years of service. I don't always understand Apple's recent decisions but this release is consistent with their past small business professional network software.
