Before someone suggests that I'm equating the two actions, I am not. My point is that this line of thought absolves others of responsibility for their actions. Whether or not the professor anticipated the response is irrelevant to the question "Is this sort of response wholly inappropriate?"

Given no more information than that, I would say the annexation was the act of aggression and the action in response is defense.

In fact, annexing another country's territory without any provocation is pretty much the definition of "a war of aggression".
114 hrs = 16.3 hours/day every single for 7 days a week, or 19 hours/day for 6 days a week, or 22.8 hours/day for 5 days a week.

I would be really surprised if that statistic is right, especially for a whole year.

edit: where did you get the 114 hours/week number? It is not in the linked article

Sorry to be snarky, but you come off a little strong... sounds a bit astroturfish?

With that aside, I think the article makes a good points. Prices are rising and they seem to be mainly beneficial for existing professionals.

IMO: Nano-degree's would only be a step above certifications - A+, Network+, etc. And a step below a 2 year degree... then most important, experience.

A class from 10 years ago is definitely meaningless... after your first few jobs, college as a whole is meaningless outside of connections made and HR checkboxes to be met.

For the same reason this nano-degree might help... but it'll be just as meaningless sooner - because its specialized, quickly out-dated and still less important than demonstratable experience or a 2/4 year degree.
The Democratic Party and the pre-Trump GOP were, once you looked past the social signals each sent to pander to certain vocal minorities, practically identical. It's no coincidence that the Bushes endorsed Hillary after Jeb! dropped out.

I don't expect anyone here to believe it, but ironically Trump's GOP is pretty close to being a real moderate party. Dispensing with the astroturfed tribal warfare by supporting gays, not making abortion into a big-ticket issue, reaching out to minorities, and so on, he has drawn in record numbers of supporters from across the line. "We're all Americans" and "America first" are the creeds of him and his supporters. An openly gay man spoke at the RNC to genuine applause, as did Trump holding a rainbow "LGBTQs for Trump" flag at a rally. The barriers once thought concrete are rapidly deteriorating for the ordinary citizens that have successfully pried their eyes away from the propaganda machine.

The shifting page layout is a symptom of a broader problem, in that it's impossible to accurately predict or specify the rendered dimensions of text. Even measuring a container after the fact is unreliable because of the arbitrary amount of whitespace in different fonts. You'd have to generate a bitmap image and detect a bounding box around the pixels, which definitely won't help with loading times. This can't be done at development time because different browsers and system configurations all render the same fonts slightly differently. So, even sticking with system fonts to avoid this one symptom, we have this giant elephant in the room making it difficult to ensure anything but the most primitive layouts will be legible across devices.
> I wish more companies understood the value of great products that people love to use as marketing instead of spending money on advertising.

Companies understand. It's just that making something that people truely like is expensive, takes a long time and is risky.

Marketing (in many instances) is cheaper, faster and less risky. Also, it's something you can do with 3rd party providers who do this for many companies. In other words, it's a business problem that can be solved by basically throwing money at it.

Building something usually takes insight into the customer, knowledge on how to build the thing that people want and ongoing work at maintaining that thing that makes people so happy. All of this takes a great amount of internal talent, skill and leadership. If the wrong few key people leave, if the corporate culture changes, if the winds of the stock market and profits shift, this can go away. It's much, much easier to just rebrand your way into people's good graces.

I've had a Macbook Pro for the last... 4 years. Two different models. I've also had a lot of success Hackintoshing my desktop and have used it without issue for the last 2 years.

My memory is fuzzy on all of the above, so this all just represents the impression it left on me.

> When was the last time you tried Scala?

Around 2 years ago, as well. It showed so much promise but I ran into so many problems using it day to day.

> What about it troubled you? The main things I use in the stdlib are collections (CanBuildFrom aside, they're pretty solid), Future (although I prefer scalaz.concurrent.Task), and Option. In 2.12, Either is finally usable too!

Unreadable type signatures, mainly. And the collection hierarchy was rather bewildering.

> I've only run into a single type checker crash (NPE) in my 2 years.

I wasn't complaining about NPEs. IIRC Scalas type system is actually turing complete. I ran into it trying to do fairly mundane things - it crashed when I was writing a simple interepter I think.

> A full compile of our ~250 file (idr loc) service took like 2 minutes. But I pretty much never did full compiles. Sbt incremental compilation of a handful of files would take a coupe seconds. This makes the feedback loop of running tests/the repl pretty quick, and unlike with other fast-feedback-loop languages (like Ruby), I get really strong checks from the compiler in each loop.

True. SBT helps a lot by being incremental. It's absolutely glacial compared to Java where you don't even notice it, but a slow incremental compile system is still better than all but the fastest batch compilers. So I agree with you there. Except...

> It's true that the repl leaks memory but that's by design: every repl evaluation is stored in a variable (res0, res1, etc). I've run into memory trouble once or twice when loading large production data into the repl, which would store it in one of these variables.

I realise that the memory usage of a running repl is bound to grow as you enter in commands. But I've never seen something grow as rapidly as the sbt console. I'd have to restart it every 3-4 times I'd reload the small file I was working on, because I simply can't spare a GB of memory in order to run an interpreter. I never had any issues with say ruby, even when ruby was much slower, and my personal machine was abysmal (less than 1gb of ram).

Maybe it's not so much a memory leak as just very sloppy use of memory.

If you don't mind me asking, which linux distro did you go with for the switch?
The browser, arguably, is the greatest app of all time.
Except that you reversed the order of that list, which is in fact just the deescalation away from nuclear brinksmanship.

I did and I am happy that I have, I prefer the linux machines, though to be honest it does not matter all that much. The terminal is great (on both system) and most of what I do I can do from within my IDE (IntelliJ) which also runs great on both systems.

I don't use computers a lot apart from when I am working, and for the leisurely things I do it does not matter which OS I am using, as everything runs in a browser nowadays. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/mac_pc.png

I find the browser complaint funny because they've moved to Chrome which even has an open development model[1] (Android does not). Chrome is also used for the WebView implementation starting in KitKat[2] (made updateable via Play Store in Lollipop). All of this code is open-source and also openly developed (which means code review, bug tracker, mailing lists, design docs are public).

I have a 2009 MBP that I use at home. Still does a great job for what I need and I'll do some iOS development on it.

Newer computer is a Lenovo Flex 3 with Win 10 I got for under $500. I've been on a MB/MBP for almost 10 years now at various jobs. If I really need a MBP I use that. I don't see myself buying any more apple products though (including phones/ipads).
No.

Still happy with my iMac and Macbook Pro. Having 14+ years of OS experience and familiarity, the technical updates or lack thereof aren't enough of a driver to abandon the former.
I second the Session recommendation. There's one button to press and it "just works". The session is lightweight too, so it will create less torque on your head/neck than other cameras.

Cheapest "CHiP" cookies (12 months * 'classic'): $0.88/cookie

Premade Nestle chocolate chip cookie dough: $0.11/cookie

Frozen homemade cookie dough, ingredients cost fudged up x2: $0.08/cookie

But, the true cost of homemade dough is much higher: We're well-paid unicorn startup employees, so the value of our time brings up the cost to like $1.44 per cookie.

And buying premade cookie dough from Walmart lowers our earning potential inordinately, because it's trashy and trashy people don't get hired by unicorn startups.

Finally, the CHiP Oven won't become another useless kitchen appliance that takes up space, because with slight modifications we can also use it for making tortilla espanolas and reflowing PCBs.

I am very emotional at times too, especially when I feel an injustice has been done. I don't know your current circumstances, but I would advise not to read into this leadership change too much. Especially in racial terms.

It sounds like the incoming team indeed thinks of itself as superior in some respect. That's a dangerous way to think (regardless of whether race is involved), because they won't be able to learn anything if they've already disregarded the thoughts of those that were around before they showed up.

It also sounds like they are a bit more conservative ("convoluted code review processes... based on jira tickets") and perhaps a bit more authoritarian ("standard that must be followed for EVERYTHING").

Those may or may not be traits that the company needs to succeed at this point in time, but you're certainly not required to accept them or agree with all of them.

And you shouldn't be made to feel like a child if you've built the foundation of the product. It is disrespectful.

So you just need to ask yourself whether its worth it to try to work with them or just move on.

No, and perhaps that is why I and many others continue to be somewhat disquieted with Apple's stewardship of its Mac platform: It would take much more to make me switch. Apple would have to treat its professional users much worse than they do today.

The corollary to this being, it could get much worse. The best parallel I can draw, if you'll permit a terrible political analogy, might be idealistic Bernie supporters slowly realizing they're going to end up with a choice between Clinton and Trump.
I hadn't seen that xkcd yet, but how absolutely true :)

Thinking about Hackintosh-ing. Can take or leave the hardware for the most part (especially on desktop, but they do still have the best trackpad), but there's nothing better than macOS for what I want in my dev environment.
It's all arbitrary and unknown unless you verify the whole thing yourself down to the kernel.

> they propagate racism through their actions/policies they support/group think with others who feel similarly.

I doubt you meant it that way, but this translated in my head to "they're racist because they're conservatives". Would you mind clarifying?
Thanks, but this alludes to more operators coming. Why is such a thing really needed. The proliferation of this approach seems like a potential downfall of k8s. Similar to Mesos where a framework is quite powerful, the cost of developing one is too high. This blog post basically implies that k8s base constructs can't run postgres, redis, prometheus, etcd, cassandra, etc. But why? Are we saying that stateful services fundamentally require one off domain specific logic to run in k8s?
Been a Mac fanatic since the early Fat Mac days. Loved the earlier MBPs, Retina MBP 13, and the Airs.

Sadly though. They've fallen too far behind. It's like Microft and Apple flipped. Win10 is fast, amazingly stable, and I can run all my monitors and tools on super fast machines. Even just picked up a Razor laptop running Mint and. Chromebook running Elemental.

Thought about trying the hackintosh but too much trouble.

I think if you forget to provide great hardware and tools for power developers at the front end of our cycle, you fall behind and fail to innovate / have a good support community in short order.

As much as I like Tim Cook and his values, he really reminds me of the same fit as Ballmer. Not as much of a Dick though :)

Too be fair, smoking is already counter culture in the USA.

I'd imagine alot of reasons you don't see more vaping is age. Younger folks don't care as much(and smoke less in general) but some dude smoking malboro at 50 is far less likely to roll up with an ecig at a casual BBQ. Its a hard enough battle getting old people using email... Let alone vaping.

Pick anything that's still heavily used today, that has been around for 10+ years, and it's hard to go wrong.

The only caveat to this is on the front-end JS side of things. jQuery is still solid, but the language and ecosystem has been so not great over the last decade that something a bit newer might be worth looking at (maybe look at 3-5 year old libs/frameworks instead).

That's the second half of the equation. The first half was "video editing is harder than they hoped so they sell it". Maybe focus on making the product EVEN better (vs worse) by identifying how to make the process after the video is shot better. Aka don't ruin resale value, instead focus on WHY people are reselling them and fix that. Maybe make an iMovie style tool for common go pro uses.
This is brilliant. It's like the promise-theory-based convergence tools (CFEngine, Puppet, Chef) on top of K8S primitives. Better yet, the extension works like other K8S addons -- you start it up by scheduling the controller pod. That means potentially, I could use it in say, GKE, which I might not have direct control over the kube-master.

I wonder if it is leverging PetSets. I also wonder how this overlaps or plays with Deis's Helm project.

I'm looking forward to some things implemented like this: Kafka/Zookeeper, PostgreSQL, Mongodb, Vault, to name a few.

I also wonder it means something like Chef could be retooled as a K8S controller.

Microsoft in the 1990s, had tried to find a replacement for DOS partnering up with IBM. Commodore had the Amiga, Atari had the Atari ST, and Apple had the Macintosh and their operating systems were better than DOS. So out of an advanced DOS project came OS/2 and then the GUI for OS/2. IBM had their own OS/2 and Microsoft had their own OS/2 as well.

Microsoft was working on Microsoft OS/2 NT 3.0 when they broke off from IBM, and then renamed it Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 using the Windows 3.X GUI. Microsoft also pushed Windows 3.0 and 3.1 that loaded on top of DOS. IBM had OS/2 2.0 that had WIN-OS2 to run 16 bit Windows apps. Then companies quit making OS/2 native apps and made 16 bit Windows apps instead because OS/2 could run them as did Windows.

The big blow to IBM was Microsoft's Windows Tax to OEMs, that is based on how many computers they made, even if Windows was not installed on the new PCs. So if someone wanted to install IBM's OS/2 or Next's Nextstep for Intel chips, or BeOS for Intel, they still had to pay Microsoft the Windows tax. This forced OEMs to preinstall Windows, because they already paid for it with the Windows tax.

So it was a combination of OS/2 running 16 bit Windows programs and companies not wanting to make an OS/2 native version, and Microsoft marketing Windows to be used instead of OS/2 by bundling it with every OEM PC sold, that stabbed IBM in the back over OS/2.

Yes, Microsoft in the 1990s were ruthless and even bundled Internet Explorer with Windows 95 OSR and Windows 98 that got them investigated by the DOJ for antitrust issues.

Linux Mint for the desktop and laptop here. Love it. Ubuntu for servers and Elemental for an older Chromebook.
What a fascinating concept! I think that with some kind of review built in, this kind of dynamic loading would be really useful.

I think if you do this, you'd want external tests, or some way to pull the code in and "freeze" it so that you wouldn't be at risk of external compromises. (For example, a high ranked SO user might be able to change a highly ranked answer . They might not do it, but someone suborning their account might.)

But really, this is an optimization of a lot of code that is currently written.
