Winemaker here. I would like to try those wines, but I don't think you will get good results out of it.

Taste of wine is mostly structural thing: it is created during fermentation by polymerisation of different compounds. Even mixing different wines don't give you good results, unless you fiddle with different ratios (I do as much as 10 for cuvee of two wines, trying to find sweet spots) and then letting it settle for some time.

Well, it might be fun activity, but I am sceptical that you will create wine that you will actually like.
Indeed; what remains of the old big infra vendors is now in Ericsson and Nokia. Then there are the Chinese ones: Huawei and ZTE. Probably others. But particularly Huawei is growing very fast in many markets - the Chinese government is basically giving the money away, so it's hard for others to make a profit, and Huawei takes market share. If you call it a "market" after such subsidies.

Some customers, particularly very many in the USA, are not so happy to have Huawei or ZTE core switches etc, but in emerging markets they are less worried about Chinese intelligence infiltrating them, and also in Europe there seems to be less protectionism and concerns about national security. So the Chinese are catching the global market, without the Americans noticing much.
Personally, I stopped trying to find an app to do all of that. I put my notes in gmail drafts and try to keep them at a minimum, put my appoints in google calendar, and use short-lived bookmarks. I painfully found out some time ago that I don't need much more than that - I try not to have lots of reminders/todos/etc.

If I had to do that, I would try to do it on the web instead of using a dedicated app.
If you really need all of that well I guess you're stuck :)

If your company lost thousands of man-hours on a tool and has nothing more to show than a blog article with half the facts coming out of the author's head and the other half boasting about bad production practices, would you prefer me to sugar coat it?

A hire that knew linux and docker, would solve the problem.

I work with docker since 2013. I came to a team with devs that already used docker. I didn't know anything about it at the time. They gave me a docker image with a JVM based app, that had a two years old JDK, ran as root and the container was ran with privileges enabled.
Did I have to know docker to tell them that this was nuts? Nope, I had to know ops. For the same reason I knew AUFS before I learned about docker and I knew very well that I would trust AUFS on my NAS for media storage but not as storage for a production database.

Did I ever tell the devs how to write java? No. It isn't on my job description for a reason.
As I cannot edit, I should note that the remote positions have to be in the US. Sorry international folks.
I think you're making a key point. If the goal was to measure physical proximity then radio signals could be used and would probably be more reliable. However, if you want to check if a user can actually hear something - like an audio ad or videos+audio - using audio makes perfect sense and in this case you can just add an inaudible fingerprint to the existing audio.
With that being said, would you agree that in general one does not need to be intimately familiar with these to be a productive, useful software engineer?
"You see the Node.js philosophy is to take the worst fucking language ever designed and put it on the server."

My theory is that there are many front-end designers that only know html, javascript, and css, and suggested javascript on the back-end, because they don't know any other language.

I've been a part of many of the javascript framework communities like Ember.js over the years and it's filled with designers, not developers.

But it also depends on your optimizations. If you are a small company, you want to focus on having a small footprint because server space costs more to you.

Large companies don't care about server space costs, because it's negligible compared to the cost of a developer salary and benefits. So, they would rather use a large and bloated framework that helps with productivity because less lines of code need to be written.

I've worked at a few large corporations that didn't get that much traffic. They all used enterprisey, inefficient, and bloated frameworks. Nobody really noticed because they could just throw some more hardware at it and the traffic to the site was fairly low.

I think that's overstating it, there's a lot of engineering in the UK. It just has a very low media profile, because it either has a foreign name on the product (Nissan!) or doesn't sell to consumers.

A surprisingly large amount of it is in really unglamorous buildings in industrial estates outside cities other than London. Since the media have largely stopped bothering to leave the M25, it's invisible.

(I have a pet theory based on the car industry that the really toxic thing is British labour relations; there are successful small British companies, and successful large plants with foreign owners, but all the British-managed mass-employment industries collapsed in strikes and/or were looted by the directors like MG Rover.)

I think the great advantage is not really that. (With a bit of trouble you could already output HTML/PDF from an iPython notebook and remove the output in order to make version control easier (although that's fully automatised with markdown/knitr in RStudio)).

But the big selling point is that you can choose which parts of your notebook to include in the HTML/PDF output. Input, output, plots, you can write a document for a scientific paper, presentation or even a book and not have to show all the code, or all the output or all the plots like you must do with iPython. That's the really strong point with knitr.

In fact what he is setting up is very much similar to the German Mittelstand apprenticeship model; however to get similar results requires managers to change their ways, most apprenticeship trained staff in Mittelstand companies have a turnover of 2.7% (rather than up to 30% in entry level employees in US / UK).[0] This means that managers need to realise that you need good, technically solid training, and interesting work for these employees, a defined career path, and persistence and engagement rather than a fire them if I think they're even slightly off / not a good culture fit. A good cultural fit typically requires training too! Think of medieval type apprenticeships; not just on the job training but also training in how to be a productive, respectable adult.

If the Dyson IoT does these things that other employers claim they want (soft skills etc) but aren't willing to train or pay for then Dyson's new venture will probably succeed handsomely in the long run.

Perhaps "media" is too broad a term. I think there's a concentration of certain types of industries - entertainment video, gaming, ecommerce, adtech, automotive, some fintech, some social media.

What there isn't a lot of is "engineering", "cloud", "enterprise" technology. The GitHubs, Herokus, AWSs of the world are not yet here in LA. For those of us who are engineering focused, we generally do tech for companies that don't "sell" technology to other engineers, that's focused in SF and Seattle. Not any less valid just a different audience.
This is similar to the School Leaver programmes run by large accounting firms in the UK as well. You get paid a decent amount to get accredited whilst working for the firm. The programmes could take 6 years, but at the end of it, you would be a much more valuable employee than the person who drank away 3 years of their life! Plus you'd be a qualified accountant!

The downside is when all your mates are out having fun, you're being worked to the bone! Not really fun for an 18 year old.

Problem with that is that social media operates internationally. What's allowed in a public space is different for you and me (though functionally identical, since Canada and US as pretty close in that regard). For us and someone from China suddenly there's a world of difference. Making it a private space skirts some of those issues, AFAIK.

TL;DR: Dealing with international law sucks.

I do business systems consulting and I cannot tell you how true this is... not only are they mired in their tiny problems, sometimes they jealously guard them as well.

I think the most common kind of manager-think is some sort of dedication to appear being conservative in judgments; this can be true for any low level supervisor through to the topmost levels of management. This results in two behaviors: 1) you don't go out on limbs and you work to minimize all risk rather than take well-considered risks; and 2) the problems you deal with daily are "safe problems" that everyone from the board to the employees have accepted as facts of life and their existence is unlikely to get you fired or put you in a bad light.... even if it ought. So you don't solve your problems because the solutions may bring unknown problems of their own. Taking risks, and failing occasionally, is simply seen as failure and successes aren't remembered as long as failures (we remember bad news better than good news)... and any new thinking or new action is seen as risk.

Others are only semi-public; these generally consist forks of software they use or private repos used for external collaboration.

I'm working on getting some of our stuff open-sourced. When it's written by contractors, the intellectual property rules can get complicated. Convincing a contractor to publish code their consultants wrote for a government project, no matter how minor, can be a tricky bit of advocacy. Sometimes they have really skewed ideas surrounding IP that must be overcome before this can happen. (Best case, our code will likely end up hosted by Internet2 or a similar foundation.)

Not really - the knowledge of what an alphabet can be universally agreed upon and doesn't need to be transmitted with the data. The metaphor here is that software and hardware-based decoding can now be much more powerful because the hardware is more powerful than it used to be.

And of course the truth is you would just transmit "H_10" with the universally agreed upon knowledge that "H" is "Heads" and "_" is number of times.
FYI, Rancher can use Kubernetes for orchestration (Mesos or Swarm too)[0]. No idea how well that works though, I am using it with their own Cattle and that is more than enough for my lowly needs.

I looked at Kubernetes before Rancher but it was hard for me to really understand where to start and how it all fit together. Now that I understand much better what I am doing I should probably take another look at it.

So let me get this straight. If I block you, mock you, ban you from my site, or otherwise not associate with you I'm magically blackballing you the same way a university can? Sorry, but I'm not buying this bull. This is why I really, really hate intellectuals of this stripe. They claim that it's "censorious" to do what we already do in person. I don't talk to Trump supporters in real life. Are they censored by me not engaging them? Am I magically impeding their freedom to protest, write articles, publish articles, or otherwise make their message heard by the mere act of not listening as an individual? Michael Rectenwald and company need to stop conflating the legitimate concern of institutional censorship with the non-issue of free association. So how about he and his fellow trolls get a clue and stop whining cause people don't talk to each other on Twitter or Facebook.

>it's just that a giant space station is even more pointless.

Sorry, but this comment is just plain ignorant. Would you also call the Apollo missions pointless? Building a giant space station would give us a permanent and significant presence in space, and would give us enormous advances in technology as we figure out how to deal with the challenges of such an engineering undertaking, just as we did with Apollo. Moreover, the station would have a lot of other uses, such as manufacturing. You can't do zero-g manufacturing in Antarctica. There's untold uses for low-g or zero-g manufacturing, perhaps things involving crystal growth. The station can also be a waypoint for asteroid capture missions, which would give us immense mineral wealth without having to do environmentally-horrible mining operations here on Earth.

Most of what I would need to say in response to the allegation of "throwing away your critical eye towards the world in favor of starry-eyed credulity" can be read in this comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12873531.

The placebo effect is certainly relevant in this discussion, and unfortunately it partly comes down to definition. Some try to claim the placebo means there is no tangible improvement in physiology, just an imaginary feeling of wellbeing. If that's your definition, then I'm guarding against that with thorough lab testing of all accessible physiological indicators, as described below. If your definition of the placebo effect is that there is a real physiological improvement brought about by emotional processes, then I agree with you, and the techniques I've used are just tools for bringing about a more profound placebo effect, which is fine, as long as it leads to a physiological improvement, which seems to be happening for me.

> If you're constantly questioning whether something is working, it will probably not feel like it's working, whereas if you wholeheartedly believe, you will likely carry that through into your perceptions.

For me it's sometimes been the opposite; techniques that I hoped and deeply believed would be effective turned out to do little, and techniques that I had little expectation of effectiveness turned out to make a big difference. Not always though. There's not really much of a pattern. And there's no pattern to this that aligns with practices being "mainstream" or "alternative". I've had positive and negative experiences with treatments/practices from both sides.

But the core point – that employing effective techniques to change unhealthy subconscious beliefs can reduce unhealthy emotions (including anxiety/depression) in the short term and reduce stress-related illness in the long term – has rung true for me and many others. And it doesn't take much reading through scientific studies on the topic, or even just thinking about it from an evolutionary point of view, to realise that it's unsurprising and uncontroversial that this could be the case. The only question is, what techniques are effective. I've listed the ones that worked for me. Different ones work better for others.

Yep, we made the shift over from Fleet (a CoreOS project) to Kubernetes in v2. We were just evaluating Kubernetes at that time.
The whole "better angels of our nature" optimism thing kind of seems like sticking your head in the sand to me. Of course we should have a sense of perspective about how bad things are currently (which seems to be what Pinker is saying), but we should also carefully note whether we currently appear to be on an upward or downward trajectory (IMO, downward), and more importantly, whether there are any forces or incentives on the horizon that might reverse the trend (IMO, no).

Better futures have to be consciously fought for. We can't really rely anymore on the "End of History" theory that the arrow of time inevitably points toward peaceful liberal democracy. Even Fukuyama was iffy about that as he admitted in a WSJ interview in 2014, and things have only gotten dicier since. My current pessimism about the future is not a function of how bad things currently are-- it has definitely been much worse-- but that all the incentives are aligned toward making it worse and I don't see many people or forces aligned toward making it better. Pinker ignores that to his detriment.
