DevOps here - yes, they do bother. Pinned set of dependencies, but one of them updates? Upgrade all of the dependencies. But don't worry, it's all in a Docker container (I have a completely separate rant about Docker's compatibility ignorant hummingbird).

Ironically enough, I think the current DevOps culture emerged partially because sysadmins got tired of saying no (if only so they could sleep through the night), so now they let developers tie their own nooses so they can be woken up at night.

It's wonderful to give up all of those software pages back to developers. And the developers do seem motivated to fix the bugs which wake them up at 3am, so it turns into a win all around. It's still hard to watch a new team come up to speed though, knowing how little sleep they will be getting over the next month because they made their new docker program stateful...
I'm sure plenty of hipchat users (most?) aren't dev teams either.
I don't mean to say that everyone acts entirely for themselves, with no action motivated by kindness. I mean to say that in a sytem with multiple people trying to do the same thing you are doing (selling for a profit), you'll have to compete with people with various moral standards and ways of getting their profit. This kind of system, I believe, eventually forces out those who are not "aggressive" enough with their methods, and if not eventually, it will happen over time due to the fact that capitalism requires ever higher and higher returns.

While admirable in itself to act kindly in a capitalist system, it is ultimately detrimental to the success (and thus survival) of the company. There are of course examples of ethical practices (free range eggs for example), but they only continue once they become sufficiently practical.
..and that the framework was proven correct.

To be clear, I surmised this from what I described, I didn't actually get down and poke at how the codec works on these different types of music. But I'm pretty sure that's what's going on.

These lossless codecs work by attempting to predict the next sample from all the previous ones, and then encoding the difference between the prediction and reality. So a more regular waveform will compress better than a crazy-looking one. It's somewhat counterintuitive since rock music tends to be less complicated from a high-level human perspective.
I feel the same, but I also think that the products and ecosystems are so different that there's hope they might keep them separated.
My sentiment is a relative of yours: I care more about the performance of the two methods when there is no error, as that is the common path. Hopefully. In my own brief micro benchmarks, exceptions do have a performance penalty when there is no error. With that said, I still use them, but I sometimes have to think carefully about when.
It's MSVC only. They're going to fix it. And it doesn't affect the semantics, only performance. I mean sure, it's a bug, but it's not FQA territory.
Fog Creek's model tends to involve spinning off their runaway hits into separate companies. They've done this with StackOverflow and Trello. Trello has been an independent company since 2014. (Although I'm not sure what kind of ownership position Fog Creek had).
For some reason the enterprise version doesn't support mercurial, it's only git.
Sure. Well, It's an app to help you be a better person of your own design. CBT is one of the libraries to choose from, but there are others for leadership, relationships, health and so forth.

Hrm, I would not identify it as an appification of CBT - You can use it to help implement CBT or other behavioral/cognitive changes, but the actual understanding would need to be done previously, to get the most benefit. Although I suppose even without any previous knowledge or awareness, some value could be derived.
So Fog Creek - makers of Fogbugz, which lost out bigtime to JIRA - have now sold Trello to Atlassian? Is there nothing left of Fogbugz?
I expect that either Apple or Samsung will soon bring the trend of naming things without a number, and having the year be an implicit addition. Other companies have done it (Amazon and Motorola) but neither has anywhere near the market share, and definitely not the contingent of customers who buy each year's model, of those two.
I'm optimistic in that there may finally be a self-hosted version of Trello.
This is great! But it's fairly lacking in some features. Any word on release of API docs so devs can integrate their workflow into it?
> Why does virtualenv exist? A similar reason.

The reason why virtualenv exists is because different apps may have conflicting requirements, and you have apps that need to be deployed in different environments with different versions of different libraries. I know that even if I were developing against versions of libraries in system packages, I'd still end up having to use virtualenv in development (EDIT: I wrote 'production' here by accident) because my stuff gets deployed on different versions of Debian and RHEL, necessitating virtual environments if only so that I can make my development environment as close to production as possible.

> In the year 2015, pip went from version 1.5.6 to 8.1.1 (!) through 24 version bumps, introducing thirteen (documented) backwards incompatibilities.

Much of that has been down to efforts in recent years to finally fix the major issues with Python packaging. It has settled down quite a bit. Also, the 1.* to 8.* change is because the initial '1' was dropped: 8.* is essentially 1.8.* in the old versioning scheme.

I'm not saying that this couldn't have been handled better, but it's not just a 'hummingbirds off of their ritalin' situation: Python spent many years with packaging stagnated, and what you're seeing is rapid development to fix the mess that years of PJE-related neglect caused.
CES 2017: A Developer's Perspective
Same here. I love Trello for its simplicity, and lack of simplicity is exactly why I avoid Atlassian services...
For anecdotes: I've had a HDHP before ACA, started at about $45/mo now up to about $60/mo with an outrageously high $12.5k or so deductible.

I've had two different DPC, one about $45/mo, now with one about $30/mo.

Both combined are still less than I would pay in any marketplace.

It's nice to be able to just see your doctor without worrying what it might cost. A large list of simple procedures are covered, and tests cost next to nothing. It's a health subscription to an actual doctor who can be just as cost-conscious as you are while still incredibly knowledgable and invested in your health.
So as a counterpoint. I used BitBucket a lot before Atlassian bought them. They were great, but toward the end suffered significantly from load issues.

After Atlassian bought them:

* The service I paid £5 a month for became free

* The stability issues started to improve in a dramatic fashion

Today Stash is a great product (IMO), and BitBucket has really improved from having great Jira integration.

I was actually sad because I couldn't justify paying for the premium features (multi-person private repos) in the same way, because it was nothing I needed. It was the best £5 subscription I ever had :)
MSVC is such a bad compiler. Yes, they are working on it, it's getting better, but this is apparently a fairly new regression.
https://zenkit.com for example. Really like it so far (not trying to run from Trello, as I don't use it much anyway)
1 000 000 / 20 000 is 50

I chuckled at this being the top comment. I did the same and will be joining you soon in Melbourne!

I think the Australian system is the best model for the US to copy, not Denmark or France or what not. But it's never even mentioned here since apparently it's unpatriotic to admit other countries have figured out things we can learn from. It's got the essential public option with the private system running in parallel for those that want it or can afford it (higher incomes are tax incentivized to obtain it). The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is desperately needed in America but the pharma lobby would burn the country down before they allowed that to happen.
Sending SMS from the laptop can be nice for the same reasons I sometimes use the web versions of WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram (days of long conversations), but making calls... Do they hand over to the phone if you want to walk to another room without bringing the laptop with you? I start only business calls on my laptop with Skype or Hangout, because I know I'll be at the keyboard working while speaking. Calls with friends, those start on the phone almost always.

App integration between phone and laptop looks nice but in fact for most people all it matters is email and files, mostly pictures and musing. Those are covered by Google and possibly by Dropbox, plus some streaming service.

Anyway, yes, even a slight edge over the competitors is better than no edge.
How am I giving you only partial info?

"High deductible" plans, on their own, are very unaffordable relative to only a few years ago.

Your link illustrates this even more. HSA funds can't be used for DPC monthly fees - those are out of pocket costs. You can pay service fees (for services over and above what's provided by regular DPC services) with HSA. However, you can't get money IN TO an HSA without also having a high-deductible insurance plan.

You can say the HD plan is for catastrophic situations, with DPC being day to day, but for most folks I know, especially with families, the HD plan on its own has extremely high costs, and saying "let's also subscribe to a DPC service to keep our costs down!" makes 0 sense for almost all of them.

DPC alone won't deal with "crap, I just got cancer and need $180k of treatment". "regular" insurance can deal with that, but it's still extremely expensive.

Maybe I'm missing something in what you're trying to say.

Bitbucket server is written in Java while Bitbucket.com in Python. Those are two different products. That's why the Enterprise version supports only GIT.

Check our RhodeCode for Enterprise SCM tool that supports Mercurial too.
I understand what would happen for routine check-ups and serious accidents.

How would such a model handle predictable-but-expensive medical needs, like hip replacements for the elderly and monthly prescriptions for HIV and cancer patients?
That would be nice. JIRA Agile definitely could use a push to get a better UI. It also doesn't support real world bug tracking well.
Oki-doki, time to move.

Does anyone know or, better yet, use any good self-hosted Trello alternatives?
As an aside, did you know that the word "Amen" actually is a acronym in the Jewish language that means "El melekh neʾeman" (or AMN) which translates to "God, trustworthy King". (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen)

I figured the etymology of that word was rather interesting. But yeah, I get the whole SysAd/Dev dual job. They're tough to balance and do effectively. SysAds are firefighters. When the nag(ios) alarm rings, we come a-callin.
There's certainly plenty of abuse posted in response to comments here.

Medicare reimburses some smaller facilities at a higher rate than other facilities.

> if I were to develop a machine that manufactures widgets in my spare time at home, that machine would have to be seized since communism is the public ownership of the means of product

No. That's personal (not private) property. The MoP are manned by labour supplied by the proletariat. If you are having people working with that widget maker (aside from yourself), and you are paying them wages (or slavery), then it qualifies as MoP and the workers would seize it.

In the same way, a programmer's computer, provided the owner is not using it as MoP for wage-labour, belongs to the programmer.

>When asked how any decision would be made by the collective, since it is a system run by "society" not by any individuals, the answer often hear is through democratic means

Our experiences differ; usually the response is that people can organise themselves freely into collectives or communes. There is no police force to force you to join a commune or obey their rules.

As a Sys Admin turned Automation/Tools Engineer, I think you're missing part of the point. You've got the beginning of it right in saying that Sys Admins used to be involved in pinning down versions, and even in why that was necessary, but I believe you're incorrect in saying that the containerization technologies are bad for removing that.

Those technologies don't exist so Developers can get around Sys Admins and ignore your helpful advice. They exist to solve that problem that makes the Sys Admins role there necessary. It removes the underlying need for a Sys Admin to worry about the versions. Admins should see this as a good thing, but in my experience many dislike it because it takes them out of their Gatekeeper role. We shouldn't WANT to stop the Developers from from having the newest version of things. They aren't kids playing with toys that we need to nanny over, they're doing work that creates values and the fewer things we do to get in the way of that, the better.

If something breaks due to version changes, their testing should catch it. If things are breaking in production, we ought to get involved because there's some other problem, but before that we, as a profession, need to learn to get out of the way and let people work by letting technology handle the problems. The "Gatekeeper" mentality needs to die as quickly as it possibly can.
Really neat! Is there a list of the full instruction set somewhere?

Why would Fog Creek give away any ownership?
The problem with your reasoning is that these cars were designed to not meet the emissions requirements from the factory. From day one, they were only designed to meet the emissions standards during the testing, not on the road. They were purposefully designed to cheat on the test.

Your statement would be true if test performance varied from real-world performance due to environmental factors, but that's not the case. Test performance varies from real-world performance by design. And then they lied about it. That's why they're being punished.

I do agree that the test should be changed to take that inevitability out of the equation, but for this situation the reason they're being punished is because they designed their cars specifically to cheat on the existing test.
It is hyperbole though, and while no sane company would say its not the second best they wouldn't wear thin saying its the best every time either. It loses meaning each time the change is barely impressive.
...because we like monero, consider the technology more appropriate and mature for the task, and wish to use it. Currency abhors liquidity barriers, slippage, etc. Since Monero is the most liquid crypto that provides acceptable privacy and hence fungibility, it is a win-win situation if it is universally adopted.

Also the corrupt terms of the zcash social contract make it abhorrent to many of us, who believe in open source, peer-review, and decentralization of authority, as well as casting deep suspicion on the motivations of the beneficiaries of zcash's corporate structure, and the acts which self-interest will therefore dictate.

“Very rarely did I see him become completely unglued. It happened. But mostly he just looked at you and very directly said in a very loud and stern voice, ‘You are fucking up my company,’ or, ‘If we fail, it will be because of you.'”

If I had read this quote 2-3 years ago, before trying to found a startup, I would've thought that Jobs was a crazy asshole. While the latter point is still up for debate, I can now completely sympathize with how he felt in this moment.
It makes sense mainly because Trello is a competitor to Atlassian and its best to kill it now before it takes too much market share.

edit: Yes right now there might not be an exact competitor but in a few years it could easily match everything Jira does.
Is your magical widget machine shitting bricks out of thin air?

If it needs input, energy, resources, suppliers, other people for developing ideas around it, then its not "your own making", it is already a community project, you can keep it at your home, its produce will have to be spread to other people like they are spreading energy and resources to you, a community of sharing and caring, and not this braindead capitalist ayn-rand bullshit "my own shit is shinier than yours".

Whilst not as well produced as Trello, https://kanboard.net/ is self hostable.
The problem with a distribution-agnostic approach is tossing distribution policy into /dev/null means instead of maintainers and admins and users and devs having to learn the one, probably fairly complicated, policy, or more likely numerous policies for various distros, instead msdos era anarchy is unleashed on the world.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/

Sections 6 thru 12 are what it means to be "a Debian" rather than say freebsd packaged into .deb files.

For some very end user applications that don't interact in any way with anything else, games perhaps, that works pretty well, until something is run into that does need to interact with other components also operating under the same anarchy.

The problem with not having a closed system or standard or method of operating a system aka an operating system, is you end up with the deployed machines having an Apocalypse Now quote conversation "Are my methods unsound?" "I don't see any method at all, sir." If you're a system Administrator what does it mean to Administrate mere anarchy?
I think it's more accurate to say that good developers need to have some level of systems expertise which probably means OS & networking fundamentals + practical Linux experience. This is because you need to have some understanding of how your program will execute on (or across) machine(s), and some know-how to get your program up and running on a real machine available to users on a real network. Whether you need to be an expert in the latest best practices for managing a fleet of servers compliant with whatever regulations, that's more for the sys admin (though it never hurts to learn more, there's just so many things we developers could spend our time learning).
it would probably be more impressive if humans led to their own extinction, than if cosmic forces ended us.

Never heard of it, but this actually looks as if it could replace Trello and Airtable, two products I really like, and then some. Thanks for the suggestion.
Something about when Professors feel the need to curse to look cool throws me off the wrong way, dunno, call me old fashioned.

I am making myself familiar with Mr. James Livingston -- it's an argument that has been made many times before -- that there aren't enough jobs to go around, that the private sector doesn't really create all the jobs, and ends with some form of UBI. I have heard it a thousand times. I still remain unconvinced.
I think it's the exact inverse of what you describe. The article describes something like a subscription model for the oil changes that also satisfies the legal requirement for health insurance under 26 U.S.C. § 5000A. The enormous liability and collision part of auto insurance in this analogy is not covered by the plan described in the article.

On one hand, it seems like a great idea for those whose employers don't provide subsidized insurance coverage. If it's truly affordable, it should allow more people to get routine care. Especially for women, who generally need more routine doctor visits than men. OTOH the things that bankrupt people are hospitalizations and real insurance plans are generally there to help mitigate that.
> it has had about 7 major iterations (not counting 'S' models etc.)

I would argue that some of the S models are more significant iterations than the main numbered ones. Siri shipped with the 4s, the Appstore shipped with the 3G (IMO it's fair to call the 3G and 3GS "S models" of the original).
Thank you for your service to the Debian community. I have only run Debian based distributions on all of my installs of Linux.

But if people can freely organize themselves into collectives or communes, then some of those collectives will be more successful than others, and without mandatory redistribution, you'll have inequality again. Also, if people can leave collectives, then inevitably there are going to be collectives with few or only one single member left, and you're back to individual ownership.

Isn't "neutral ground" for "median" a British usage?
What you are saying is true and crucial to understand. The same observation applies to a lot of named concepts in academia (in voting/game theory and economics especially).

However, I also think that results in these fields can be useful in political discussions, as long as they're used as thinking devices rather than arguments in and of themselves.

The map is not the territory, but "price of anarchy" is a suggestive name. The name suggests, purposefully or not, that this set of mathematical results about an abstract game theoretic model might be useful to hold in mind while thinking about political systems. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad suggestion.

This is not particularly novel. There are already integrated HMOs, like Kaiser Permanente and Group Health Cooperative, that function in a similar way. Kaiser is a little more complicated (there is a "Kaiser Foundation Health Plan" that acts as insurer, while physicians work for the "Permanente Medical Group") but they have integrated systems so physicians are not spending time dealing with claims--and besides, the physicians do all their work for this one health plan, so there's no web of insurance companies.
