The answer is better managers.

They need to understand the history of the software, the current state of the software and the problem domain of the software. They need to understand the business priorities of the software, so they can evaluate the trade-offs proposed to them by their developers.

I don't think this is a job that a non-technical person can do well.

>Now of course buying two big servers with a heap of RAM and storage and putting Postgres on them with replication is pretty easy.

Is it really ? I really have no idea since I haven't played with PG in a couple of years but setting up clustering used to be a PITA with it so if it got better that sounds great. One of the impressive things I saw from RethinkDB is that you can set up sharing and replication with a few steps.
Lots of downvotes here – any explanation? The GP uses the phrase "the phenomenon itself" referring to the Kantian term "Ding an sich", which (as applied to phenomena) is just a logical error...

OpenHAB arrives as a Snap
This is my issue - I don't know. I assume any time is worth wasting if your developer builds even a small business since the value of anything over 5 employees is likely more than a million. Time management is not my concern at all. If I could legally start a business I would begin working on it tomorrow

My current strategy is to open source everything because there's no reasonable way my company can take ownership of something that's free. I can't develop anything for money even though I've been asked to consult many times for many people.

I'm probably biased because I'm from Europe but to me it seems that the decreasing cost effectiveness for health care and schooling in the USA is due to the capitalist philosophy that is so strong in USA politics.

For instance in health care, in the USA pharmaceutic companies have much more opportunity to sell or advertise their products directly to consumers. This is because as a consumer in the USA you have more influence in the choice of medicine or medical care you receive; as long as you are willing to pay for it, you can get almost anything. In many European countries it is not like that, it is many times the doctor who decides what is the most appropriate cure for you and even he can not always decide which medicine to use, many times this is regulated by the state or by health insurance companies.

In schooling there is a big competition in the USA between universities to have the best ratings; this competition drives up salaries of top professors to a level that does not reflect the extra benefits that they bring to their students. All of this can happen because universities are pretty much free to ask whatever fee they desire to students. Again in many European countries it is not like that, universities have only limited freedom to determine their tuition fees by themselves.

so if there isn't even enough time to learn practical but sub-optimal solutions, a dev should instead absorb books about IT, mathematics and programming theory?

great advice...unless any part of your equation includes receiving a paycheck.
It's also likely that the early construction projects were the low hanging fruit - things that had the greatest impact for the lowest cost. As you run out of those things and start to implement the more complex ideas costs are bound to increase. I'm not sure that would be enough to account for a 20* increase though.
Can the FTC save the IoT?
Thanks... I came here to say this, and I actually said something similar yesterday and my comment got downvoted (which I couldn't care less), but to me the conclusion is, check your requirements and use the proper tool.
If you can't accurately assess the productivity of the developers by monitoring their output, you will default to metrics you can understand - usually that means monitoring the time spent in their seat.

From what I've seen coding managers seem much more open to remote work than non-coding managers.
You really think Google is this naive?

They are fully aware there's a stupid dance around negotiations and they don't really care which routine you choose to take.
How is this different than evaluating any other white collar job, other than perhaps sales? Accounting, marketing, lawyering, HR, etc, all suffer from the same issues: no great quantifiable metrics, activities that are hard to tie to actual revenue, gameable metrics.

Maybe it is just me, but I haven't read any "how do you know if your marketer is a good one" posts, but I see many on how to evaluate developers.
Do you mean 2% or 2 percent points?
An engineer can get things done quickly but that doesn't mean it's done correctly and won't break (and someone else will have to fix it).

If something doesn't work then it's not done.

To complicate things more, a feature might seem to work perfectly, until a certain point when you realize that it's all wrong at an architectural level and you have to rewrite everything.

If the requirements have changed then a new piece of work is needed. That doesn't invalidate the previous work; it just means things have changed.

>> Rebol and Red are both like Lisp in being homoiconic

With regards to this I do like Hostilefork's companion blog post regarding macros - http://blog.hostilefork.com/rebol-vs-lisp-macros/ (HN comments - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11587952)
According to this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915

a "trusted device" is only an Apple device, phone calls are for backup when you lose them. Even after that it's significant inconvenience in comparison to any other vendor using a standardized OTP approach working with any application that implements the standard. It's one of the little ways how Apple makes not owning an iOS device inconvenient for mac users.
That whole sentence seems mistaken since no iCloud data is available to law enforcement. iCloud is AES encrypted with keys that are held by the user-only (not Apple).

As people have pointed out, yes, Apple is a trusted part of the system and could release a new iOS/macOS update that captures these keys but short of that, neither Apple nor law enforcement have any access to your iCloud data.
Sadly, that isn't as powerful as what our comment-ancestors do with Karabiner. Such an accessible and prominent key as Caps Lock is, IMHO, wasted if only used for ESC; using it both for Control when in combinations and ESC when alone makes the most sense.

I use Caps Lock for Cmd or Ctrl, depending on which keyboard I'm using, and <Leader><Leader> for Escape on Vim.

I don't know where I got this idea from, but I also use <Leader>w to exit to normal mode and save. It's so ingrained in me, that when I use other editors very often I have "Unexpected token" errors because of a ",w" in the middle of the code.
Really? So what's the gravity term in the Standard Model Lagrangian? [1]

> Page one of any book of the Standard Model discusses the 4 fundamental forces. Guess what one of them is: GRAVITY.

Well, let's just test this assertion of yours.

Right at hand I have Halzen & Martin [2] and "gravity" appears in the index (on p. 389) pointing to pp 27 and 348. Section 1.8 (pp 27-28) explains why gravity is not addressed in the book, and at p. 348 there is a brief discussion following the Weinberg-Salam unification scale at eq 15.58 about whether, given it is large, the gravitational interaction can still be neglected. The treatment there is unsurprisingly fully classical.

Maybe you don't like this particular textbook.

How about Cottingham & Greenwood [3]? This is an excellent book aimed at grad students, and has the advantage of having its introductory chapter online:

Quoting:

https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Cottingham/Cott1_1.html

"The Standard Model excludes from consideration the gravitational field."

Well, at least that's on page one.

Who next? How about Griffiths [4]? In the middle of page 50 we find:

"This is all adding up to an embarrassingly large number of supposedly 'elementary' particles: 12 leptons, 36 quarks, 12 mediators (I won't count the graviton, since gravity is not included in the Standard Model)."

Above are three standard textbooks introducing the Standard Model, and they all support my assertion and not yours.

Let's see, here's another item for your consideration:
https://home.cern/about/physics/standard-model

"The Standard Model includes the electromagnetic, strong and weak forces and all their carrier particles, and explains well how these forces act on all of the matter particles. However, the most familiar force in our everyday lives, gravity, is not part of the Standard Model, as fitting gravity comfortably into this framework has proved to be a difficult challenge"

I would be very keen on any evidence that supports your claim that the Standard Model is not mute on gravity.

I'd also be keen on what else you believe I was "hillariously wrong" about. I'd be happy to expand upon, back, or source most of the statements as I do here, if you particularize your complaints and are reasonable and polite about it.

And finally, what really are you trying to accomplish here?

[1] here's Cottingham & Greenwood's[3] write-down of the SM Lagrangian:

http://einstein-schrodinger.com/Standard_Model.pdf

which provides the straightforward answer that there is no gravity term.

Thanks!! I was hoping someone might drop a tip like that, so I kept the notification around. Indeed.. After a long press, it reveals that it's owned by the Evernote[1] app. Apparently it comes preinstalled. The gear button results in a crash, but I was able to block notifications under the info icon. Probably best to take the time and purge all the bundled apps, before another one pops up.

everything you see changed in Microsoft was done by the people, all people, those that work there and the community as well, they pushed things, the culture and all; those people working there are just people like the rest of the world; outside it was known the company official position through their executive voices but the people working there and the community in general helped tremendously steering the direction -- and of course the company desire to survive, to stay alive. it was slow, it is still slow, it is a tug war but it is happening :)
I hate to be a negative nancy but ... this makes no sense is this article about security in the sense that no packets are lost or in whether they can be read or not? There's nothing about UDP that states whether the payload is encrypted or not?
Programming is a skill that takes time to be developed. I do not get why there people are against the idea of a 'rockstar' or 'ninja' programmer?

In most professions excellence is recognized. Like in basketball there is Michael Jordan, or in investing there is Warrent Buffet. You would not say that basketball and investing do not require talent or passion. Unfortunately some programmers think so badly of themselves they could reach the conclusion that they do not have skills.
I rather just get paid to buy those things at home and work from there on OSS projects. Everyone has a different taste, but why not just sponsor projects with money so the author(s) can buy food/stay/healthcare themselves? Or at least fund towards that?
To be fair, the premise of the story is that "Programming Doesn’t Require Talent or Even Passion", and I can confirm that I've met plenty of untalented and unpassionate programmers.

Obviously the talented ones will outperform the untalented ones (pretty much by definition), but not everyone has to be great. There is a strange pressure in this industry, almost that if you aren't great, then you are failing. It's taken me 10 years to get comfortable with the fact that I'm never going to be a 'name' (ironically, despite my name).

There's plenty of room for mediocre people in this industry (not that I want to work with them, but there is plenty of work elsewhere for them to do).
Not a lawyer, but certainly sounds overbearing and probably not enforceable.
In the US, with a US-originated iPhone 6s (Verizon), I also encountered this battery issue (randomly shutting down between 17-45% without warning) and Apple replaced it under their recall program (serial number eligible). Apparently, during the layering/rolling of lithium electrolyte, electrodes and cladding included in early examples of iPhone 6s'es, there was too much air (impurities) introduced into the resulting battery, shortening its life and making it behave unpredictably (even more nonlinearly) at lower voltages (low charge). Instead, I assume from the root-cause analysis provided, Li-ion batteries need to be assembled in a vacuum (ideally), under a noble gas (Argon) or inert gas (nitrogen only).

Maybe someone with more information than the article about how the issue was originally uncovered and how regulators factor into it and Apple's response. For example, does Apple not offer the recall uniformly or were they forced/suggested to make additional remedies (beyond those mentioned in the article)?

How promote app in competition with dating apps like Tinder?
I made a simple web app which allows users communicate in close geo area, you send a message and it will visible for all users around you in 5km. But when I started thinking about promotion realise that i have to use the same targeting as datings apps and cost per click is quit high. From my rough estimation i should spend 100-200$ every day on ads to make my app live and it only for one city. How it could be solved in other way?

Sadly you are right. In person, an unskilled manager can tell if it looks like you are working hard, even if they don't understand what you are doing. Remotely, they can't even tell that, and are effectively blind.

That's the conundrum! It's not easy. And because you don't want to burn bridges and want to have a clear conscience, work on a vertical to your employer's. This means you'll likely need to spend time learning about a new vertical. But that's OK you're determined and hungry. I've done it. People have done it.

So don't overcomplicate. Build a daily habit for the next few years. And don't bog yourself down with little details and ifs and buts. I started with a $80/mo allocation. Some were able to do it with $0/month.
Agreed. I'm actually really impressed at how fast and responsive the UI is. As a user, it's probably one of the most responsive and functional UX's I've used in years.
You should probably disclose that you work for Docker.

Looking at your profile/comments you seem to be openly hostile towards Kubernetes. On that note: this is quite representative of the mentality I encountered while working there. Open Source is hard and bashing other projects is not something I consider to be fair game (regardless of whether the other side is adopting that stance or not).

Meanwhile, I admire Hashicorp's attitude of focusing primarily on improving their product without taking part in this silly "orchestration war".

That's a MacOS thing, not just a Safari thing. Windows stay open until you close them, even across restarts. MacOS, like iOS, has mostly retired the concept of "quitting an app kills state".

this is something i struggle to understand. especially with SSR/isomorphic rendering.

the vast majority of websites that need indexing should not need JS to create the html.

the vast majority of web apps that benefit from being SPAs are behind some form of login/auth and so do not need indexing.

yet there's this obsession with writing SPAs that can be pre-rendered for better indexing. i only assume this is a solution to the desire of using nodejs and javascript as a server-side language regardless of merit.
I just realized I can make another ~700 polite off-topic questions, before my karma runs out. That's actually very acceptable :-D. First time I see it as currency.

I believe Apple prefers that people use a trusted device as from their point of view this is more secure as they can verify the entire communications loop so they view this as a fallback option, but you certainly can use non-Apple devices to authenticate. They also don't appear to throw up any roadblocks to doing so.

I think Nordstrom stock went up after a negative tweet because it was seen as good publicity for the company. Trump didn't actually "threaten" to retaliate or anything, whereas for companies like Ford or GM he actually said he would impose a heavy "border tax" if they opened factories elsewhere.
I think the NoSQL popularity and appeal was largely due to the fit with the startup/rapid-iteration mentality. The lack of rigid schema promised faster product iteration with less friction compared to traditional RDBMS with strict schemas and typing.
