From what I understand, Swarm is not yet in it's prime state and seems to have a lot of issues that are not around. DCOS is based of mesos which is supposedly battle tested (I know it's the same for Kubernetes)

Also, at least in mesos, you can set up time scheduled tasks which I don't think is possible with Swarm.
Pure water is dangerous for treating clinical dehydration though, you'd want some electrolytes in the water.
Like I said... follow the money. I choose to filter this out as false authority, not ad-hominem.
Yes, I do feel you have the terminology wrong. I consider myself full stack and I work with Rails, Django, etc. I have interviewed with many companies with the title "Full Stack Developer" and most of them have not expected the type of experience you are talking about. I think you are talking essentially about a Systems roles.

When you are full stack there's usually an assumption that you are "better" on one side of the stack and won't be strong at everything. So a back-end focused full stack developer would be better at the things you are talking about while a front-end focused full stack developer would be much stronger in Javascript / CSS. The main thing is that you understand how an app works end to end and can contribute / fix bugs across the stack.
I'll bite:

> Why Kubernetes? (when mesosphere/dcos is available?)

Frankly, if you're familiar and comfortable with DCOS, the core financial benefit is the same: increased hardware utilization, assuming your workload can realize that benefit. And if your application is relatively monolithic and handles the same steady load, I'd advise to stay away from advanced orchestration tools because they're only add moving parts and more complexity, unless you have [1]

For education, I would recommend Kelsey's excellent "Kubernetes the Hard Way": https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way

For production, I would recommend Telekube: http://gravitational.com/managed-kubernetes/ It does a lot of extra heavy lifting to make sure your k8s feels like always-on black box (I work there).

[1] Kubernetes also has a "side" benefit of abstracting the underlying infrastructure away, so if you have a use case of running the same complex stack on AWS, colo, vmware, etc then running it on top of a "cloud abstraction layer" lowers your ops/dev costs significantly. We talk about this here: http://gravitational.com/telekube/

Making a positive claim (the latter) only sets yourself up to be discredited when, after some amount of time, one of the products inevitably is proven to work for something.

It's better to make the negative claim (the former) rather than risk losing what little authority you have with people who are struggling to understand the evidence behind these products to begin with.
How to Run Text Summarization with TensorFlow
Yeah this is galling to the point of fraud. You don't just walk into an engineering job and demand a non-junior position with no experience. You are wasting everyone's time. The company is paying that high salary because they want someone with experience; someone who won't have to "learn how the internet works" on-the-job.

Just because you were able to fool the company into hiring you doesn't mean you "passed the final" and everything will be fine from now on. If you had experience, you'd know that.

This is excellent news. I am slightly ashamed to admit that an ex-g/f once convinced me to go to a homeopath to try and treat my Crohns, and back then I was completely ignorant of what that meant. Some hundreds of dollars later and a couple of weeks of taking some alcohol with water, carefully measured out in a teaspoon daily, I began to finally realise I'd been had. I wince now, but that was the first time I looked up information on homeopathy. Now, I'm not hugely intelligent, but I'm no dummy either, and have a reasonable education and understand of science, the scientific method etc; through pure ignorance I ended up handing over some cash and having a little bit of hope my health would improve. If there is something staring people in the face, people who are in my position might save their money and time.

FWIW, the only reliable 'treatment' I've found for my Crohns is pizza. And I guess even this is 99.5% psychological!
“It smelled like death”: An oral history of the Double Dare obstacle course
Yeah it's pretty tone-deaf, as if they'd slept through the recent election.
You could always get started with something simpler like dokku (don't run on the $5 DO plan, and make sure to setup a swap file). In the end, it is pretty cool. Though, I'd just assume Docker's (the company) administration tools for DO become even better, as I'd love to "self-host" with Docker mgt tooling, and deploy my apps/services.

Easier setup and flow with Let's Encrypt is also essential. In the end, I think it's interesting, but overkill for a lot of scenarios... In a prior role, we went with 3 instances of dokku, with everything (but DB) deployed to all three instances, and an LB in front... was easier than all the orchestration tooling at the time.

I don't use the server. It's just when you are working on a static site it's nice to have it constantly update. Hence the server. Hugo auto-reloads the page every time you save. Makes for a good experience to preview what you are doing. Suppose you could use a specific Markdown editor instead to preview the changes.
I don't know anyone who even approaches the theoretical speed of any 802.11 technology. Your neighbors on the same channel reduce your bandwidth, and neighbors on channels which overlap yours raise the noise floor a lot. I have a Moto X Pure and a Ubiquiti Unifi AP AC Lite, and I should theoretically get 867 mbit/s. I never even approach that in practice, even if I'm in the same room. There are more than 30 available networks nearby when I look on my phone. Even if I achieved the theoretical rate, the bandwidth falls off a cliff once you leave the room, as 5ghz signals are significantly attenuated by walls. I can max out my internet (75 mbit) if I'm in the same room as my AP, but I can't stream 1080p content on the 5ghz if I have 2 walls between me and my AP.

That being said, the Apple APs are the fastest consumer-grade APs out there. If you are going to hit the theoretical maximum, an Apple AP is your best bet. I don't think streaming is where people notice issues with their internet though. In my experience people tend to notice issues in video games, skype, facetime, and other applications where there isn't a buffer to hide issues with dropped packets first.
Continuing some of the feelings here in the comments. If you want to run Ghost/Wordpress or any other container for that matter, there are much simpler orchestration tools than kubernetes.

All of my blogs are hosted on a DO machine, all of them are dockerized and I "orchestrate" them with simple chef scripts.

For this simple workload, I would go with swarm or something as simple as bash with upstart.
Very recent? 2006, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RubySpec). That makes it about half the age of ruby.

I have some issues with the statement "No scientific evidence this product works". To me it is toothless and not very convincing. What if the product never has been tested scientifically? In that case, it might work...

I hate this. One of the draws for me to Apple has always been their vertical integration: everything made by Apple (> 90% of the time) just worked. I never had any issues with my airport extreme and was looking forward to what cool things they would do with them: mesh networking, integrating home automation points? Fuse them with Apple-TV? Alas, just put all your eggs into the Iphone I guess.
This is on the onus of mid / experienced level engineers. The community should decide collectively that we don't interview at companies like this.
So whoever hired the guy should feel bad. He explains the strategy to boost his payroll, he was hiding the bootcamp he was attending and he was showing himself as experienced dev. And also why would you hire someone if 300 other companies were not interested in that person?

Ironically his lack of experience shows itself even in the first fancy function he writes on the blog post. Would not this unnecessary if block be a red flag in a coding interview?

I am sorry to see this type of people in the industry and I am sure I would do the best to not to let such people getting hired in my teams.
I'm not suggesting collateralized student loans, I agree that's difficult without a durable good. I'm suggesting a similar risk-based approach for determining the size of the loan. This would cut down on the number of people who have $200k in student loans and a MFA which generates no income.

The difficulty of getting loans for degrees which are less likely to be able to generate significant income might even lead to lower tuition at non-STEM schools (hey, a guy can dream)
No, bogus correlations and inaccurate conclusions are explicitly NOT the computer science problem being worked on here. You are trying to frame the problem as algorithms wrongly classifying people. That's just a standard statistics problem (called "overfitting") and has nothing to do with fairness.

The problem being worked on here is "what if Armenians shouldn't get car loans because they don't pay them back as much as other groups?" I.e., algorithms rightly classifying people leads to results that we believe are "unfair".

This research is illustrating that you can't simultaneously have accuracy and fairness. You need to explicitly decide how much accuracy you are willing to give up to get fairness. I.e. it's computing the tradeoffs needed to evaluate the ethical question: how many Armenian deadbeats should you extend credit to in order to be "fair"?

Go play with the simulation to see. The various fairness criteria all achieve lower than maximal profits.
This is not the 40's. We are not embroiled in World War 2.
For the same reason that my email client occasionally tells me "this may be a scam," even though sometimes it's not and I act accordingly. Based on whatever criteria it's using, the data received has a somewhat higher chance of being illegitimate.

We as (technical) humans can recognize (hence this discussion) that the use of this uncommon G is meant to mislead you into thinking you're going to Google, when in fact you're going to Hell. I'd like to be warned of that possibility.

In this case, the extremely oversimplified algorithm might be "does the domain, as filtered down to canonical characters, represent one of the top five destination domains, yet go somewhere else if not canonicalized?"

Matrix Chat announces E2E encryption audit and release
I do think voting once every 4 years is a bit out dated.
this worked in the past because coordination across the entire country was difficult, but now this is not the case with the internet.

I'd like to see a form of government where more issues are voted on.

maybe I can proxy the voting decision to a representative for a group of issues that Frankly I'm not that interested in. But I should be able to vote on each issue if i feel passionate enough about it.

Maybe block chaining is a way to implement that.
FWIW, I believe in the newer versions of the firmware and mobile apps, you can provision and configure the APs directly from your phone. The need for a controller was a major limitation in recommending the gear to other people, but the new iOS/Android apps can basically manage a small fleet of APs with nothing else than a few clicks in an app.

Of course, this requires a recent enough firmware version on the AP itself to support that feature, which, when I first tried it, I conveniently did not have, meaning I had to install the controller to upgrade everything anyway...

My lesson for that one is, uh, don't buy the older gear from resellers. Buy the new models from Unifi or Amazon directly.
They already abandoned my Airport Express.

It's too old and can't be managed with the new version of the Airport Utility. The old version (which was very difficult to find) wouldn't run on a modern MacOS.

Fortunately I have a 10 year old Mac Pro and was able to download the old version of the software and make it work, but it's just not worth the effort every time I have to reconfigure it. IMO the Airport Utility software was already pretty wonky, it was a bit confusing to try to connect to the unit. You'd have to do a few resets of the device before it would show up.

Once it works, it works GREAT though.

Oh well, I've got all Meraki gear in my house and it works flawlessly. 4k streaming over wifi, no problem. That said, I was lucky enough to buy a house wired with cat5, so all of my bandwidth-hungry devices are wired anyway.

Ubiquiti is probably the way to go for most people though. Get rid of the consumer junk.
You'd read your friends code, right?

Get a relationship, however minimal, with an inside contact, who shows his boss your code or conference presentation or whatever, he calls you and schedules an interview, then HR is told to find two bodies off the street to interview to make the hiring decision look good.

Their code doesn't get read. I'm always kinda pissed when I'm brought in for that kind of interview and I figure out I'm just a placeholder. I've never said anything unpleasant but I have mostly politely walked out of interviews like that. Once its clear they just needed a checkbox and my showing up was the checkbox, theres no point in continuing. This is why sometimes you get callbacks for the craziest jobs you can imagine, like seriously, what in my carefully resume made you think I wanted to program FORTRAN exactly? You're hiring someone who's 90% of the time a graphics artist and all I know about photoshop is I'm familiar with the name? You need a .net programmer and what in my resume made you think that was me, let me know so I can burn it off the page with fire? Or there's a massive experience or salary mismatch, etc.
No. When you apply NFKC normalization to that string, you get just 'paypal', so Paypal have already registered the result.

One neeed not lift floorboards, or drill through floors and ceilings to run wires. What I have done in my apartment, and what friends have done in their houses is run the wires along the base or tops of walls, tucked out of the way. Then one need not worry about pets or vacuum cleaners getting at the wires to chew them up, or getting tripped up by wires laying loose across the floor. There's a 100' meter limit for copper cables for ethernet. In my experience, that's plenty for most homes and offices, even when running along the walls.
I don't really assume people from other states are thieves or con men. I assume the same thing goes for countries in the EU with no border control between their countries.
As far as I know, a placebo is all about symptoms and how a patient perceives them. When you take care of a patient and give him/her a pill, statistically the patient will report to have recovered quickly or suffered less. There might a body reaction where some hormone is released which blocks pain (http://www.brainfacts.org/sensing-thinking-behaving/mood/art...), but no direct action as a cure.
No it's definitely not easier to build a company that exits (even an acquire) than it is to get a job at a tech company that pays 100K.

If the only effect is a placebo effect, it proves the product literally did nothing. Marketing something for its placebo effect is... hilarious.
I usually just start with the published dockerfiles and modify as needed... Really depends on my own usage.
I think you're right. The most effective single intervention would be to make them defaultable.

The transition would be ugly, because student loans would dry up like a pat of butter on a skillet. It would take a year or more for college tuitions to adjust, for all those administrators to be laid off, for all those leisure centers to be scrapped for firewood, etc.

But then we'd be back to market driven, affordable college tuition with a solid ROI.
In my experience a good rule of thumb is "will this need a lot of upload bandwidth?" Wireless devices running off of my AirPort Extreme typically can get 12-16 mbit download without breaking a sweat, the only real issue is upload speed is typically not nearly as fast or stable as download.

So, Apple TV? It's all download, so wifi is fine. XBox One? About half and half, so that gets a wire. Printer? All download and barely any bandwidth needed anyway, wifi. Desktop PC? Wired, of course.

I dunno where you're seeing this hostility to wired networks, the only hostility I've seen to them are from people who have legitimate reasons to not want to do it (or can't) i.e. renters, people who are not particularly handy, or people who don't have those high demand needs. For your average Joe running a phone, maybe a stream box and browsing Facebook on a laptop, a $40 wifi router will handle that just fine.
FWIW I've been doing this for over a decade and the number of times I've actually had to care about sort algorithms, balancing red black trees, or that other nonsense is basically only in interviews and only occasionally.

I say as much when people try to pull that stuff on me now. There's a copy of TAOCP on the shelf for a reason, if I need to know a good algorithm, Mr. Knuth's are certainly better than mine.
Racewar threads are off topic on the grounds of ultimate tediousness.

Maybe I'm wrong but the salary an American gets is the whole package and they have to figure out their income tax, social security, etc. In Europe a good part of what the company pays for an employee is "hidden" but can account to 50%-100% of the gross salary you receive. So if you're getting 50k company is really paying 75k.

No, a minority in the investigation committee dealing with the revelations around NSA and other foreign intelligence services can now (due to a recent court decision) bring forward a motion to summon Snowden for a testimony to Germany. They will bring it forward to the federal government which will deny the request. The minority will then appeal the decision which will then go to the highest court in Germany.
So, nothing will happen for at least several months or even years.
