Learn C - Just the basics, if you don't already. I think it's valuable to understand why everyone complains about it.

When you say just the basics, what are you referring to? Syntax? Pointers? Dealing with garbage? I've got a vague idea about it, but never had to really do anything with it so I feel now is a good time to mess around with it.

Great read though, always a pleasure seeing James mentioned (someone that definitely inspires me).

I'm skeptical that it really causes trouble for phone networks. In my experience flying small airplanes, getting a signal is easy below about 4,000ft, starts getting spotty up to 6,000ft, and is basically impossible above that. Which makes sense: antennas at the cell will be aimed sideways, not up, so the only cells you might be able to talk to would be really far away.

And this is in a fiberglass airplane that's basically radio transparent. Now try it in an aluminum airplane at 30,000+ft. I doubt the cells can even hear your phone in the first place.
Service Discovery for a microservice with multiple ports
Is exposing multiple ports per service an anti-pattern?

Does it violate the single responsibility of a microservice?

How do you handle service registration and discovery for services with multiple ports?

Is IP per container with smart clients & SRV records the best way to tackle this problem?
How the Hotel Industry Benefits from Mobile App Development?
When I was an employee of BizRate/Shopzilla in 2005 I would take my laptop downstairs to my car parked in the company parking garage, and code on my personal project for exactly 1 hour from 12-1 my lunch break. But the laptop was charged with electrons from shopzilla's office plug and the parking garage turns out is still technically on the company's property.
We are speaking past each other.

I'm not talking about "paying your dues".

It takes time to get up to speed and to build trust when you are performing high impact work on a medium-large project especially if you don't have prior domain knowledge.

> Most of the important work done at my previous company was largely completed by one very productive intern

> liberal in granting freedoms but also willing to fire someone if they turn out not to be able to deliver.

I suspect we simply deal with different sized systems.

The idea that an intern could do most of the important work implies you work for small companies.

In comparison my current project has ~90 devs.

Likewise you have this idea that you can quickly determine a good choice from a bad one. I'm still cursing design decisions I made 3 years ago that everyone thought were great at the time. If I had left after 6 months I would still be patting myself on the back.

Again that seems to apply better to small companies.
How can they justify the extra $130 for a cellular chip and antenna?
Nice. mc keybindings
Yep, I agree. I see it more as a list of priorities, not necessarily sequential steps.

1) Make it work
2) Make it maintainable
3) Make it fast

All three should be on your mind when developing something, but if you have to choose between 2 and 1, go with 1.
Also if you don't want to install serverless-offline there is "serverless invoke local" built-in.

I have to admit, I rather admire their putting a brave face on things, with their mildly-too-insistent claim that the LHC is vital for finding new physics despite the increasing likelihood it's not going to find any.

In that sense the LHC is a political failure, because it has failed at its primary political job, which is to make the argument for an even bigger collider.
The Red edition doesn't offer 32 GB version which is why the price seems higher. It's actually the same as the 128 GB "standard" model.

I had problems with this until I disabled "Tap to click". It's disabled by default so maybe that's why it hasn't been widely noticed yet.
Or, in my case, a YouTube player comfortable enough to use in bed. I had such plans - a laptop replacement, a smart drawing and writing tablet, a conveniently portable development tool...none of which came to fruition, because the technology wasn't yet there.

I'm a little tempted, now, by the iPad Pro and the Pencil. It sure would be more comfortable and convenient to retouch photos that way than with a mouse or a trackpad in Photoshop. But I can hardly justify dropping most of a grand just for that, and the other use cases I no longer have - especially with a 13" rMBP in my satchel, there's really not enough point.

That Pencil sure is nice, though.

I've not had this luck, personally. They are always willing to forgo the job offer just to ensure that everyone has the same contracts. I'm guessing that it's going to be a size of business issue.

And the IP assignment clauses are, for the most part, getting worse and worse; my current one extends the assignment to a year after termination, voluntary or not.

Why this is not just a municipal plan is totally beyond me.

Within months your privately held broadband provider is going to be selling your private info to the highest bidder.

Why we have privately owned public communications lines is utterly beyond me. I do not see why a substantial portion of every dollar I spend on internet has to go to marketing and executive compensation. Completely infuriating.
Could someone explain why, you would choose to use something like this on your site? Every time I have experienced a site messing scroll presentation it has left me very frustrated.
Not really alpha ready in my opinion. Needs quite a bit of work to be able to do anything.
There is a legendary story about how Steve Jobs, upon his return to Apple, drastically cut-down the number of models that they offer. How on earth have they forgotten that lesson? Trying to figure out the differences between the 9.7" iPad and iPad pro is not easy, and regardless, it makes it harder to buy.
I'm not sure he "openly stated that he intended to cause a seizure".

The image itself says something like "You deserve a seizure" but that image has been around for years - this person did not create that image.
So the 128Gb iPad Mini 4 has a smaller screen and a slower chip than the new 128Gb, but it's only £10 cheaper?
That's not the reason why people don't call JavaScript "computerless" or "codeless" though.

I think serverless is a bit sensationalistic and ultimately unhelpful of a name. I don't blame new projects for adopting the term since it's already in the public awareness, but I can't say I'm a fan.
On Linux you can use virtually any file manager without anyone/anything "preventing" you from it.
This looks interesting but if you like it I encourage you to check out https://serverless.com/

It has a very active community, is extremely powerful (because for AWS it is built on AWS CloudFormation), and very robust. I wrote by own framework and eventually moved to Serverless.

Not to mention in supports other languages (although the Python documentation is lacking... Java has good documentation though) and other providers (Azure & Google).

Edit:

For a quick comparison:

Dawson - 4 contributors on Github, and almost 650 commits

Serverless - Over 200, and almost 6000 commits

I don't want to be the type of person that discourages innovation. Sometimes you need to innovate because the current state of affairs is broken. But in this case Serverless Framework is not broken... it is very very good.

Footnote: I'm not a contributor but I am a long time user. I don't have any personal stake in the Serverless project.
Apple announces Clips
>"it should have been really hard to find something that we don't really know how looks like in such large amount of noise."

But if there are thousands of different such "surprising-to find-particles" to possibly detect, is it actually surprising to observe one of them?

Edit:

Also, from the top answer at your link: "The first generation of elementary particles are by observation not composite and therefore not seen to decay...The Standard Model of elementary particles, with the three generations of matter, gauge bosons in the fourth column and the Higgs boson in the fifth."

From wikipedia: "In the Standard Model, the Higgs particle is a boson with no spin, electric charge, or colour charge. It is also very unstable, decaying into other particles almost immediately."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

So do elementary particles decay or not?
Fox News pulls Judge Napolitano over his Trump wiretap claims
I do see how easy it can be to conflate 'art' with 'artful' but I intentionally have used the phrase 'Sublime Art' to mean 'artful' or '(Capital A) Art' in an attempt to avoid this confusion.

The topic of discussion is the idea that NO video game can EVER BE 'artful'.
I would put that first number at 35+ or so. I'm 36 and the threat of nuclear war was a vivid part of my childhood.

It's really hard to understand how we went from tolerating MAD to freaking out about a handful of people with box cutters in only a decade. I guess people have really short memories.
It really is sad. The worst part is, employees are treated poorly at many companies. I feel like it's even worse during and after a recession because employers know people are desperate.

I have been working on mplyees.com, a site where employees can share what needs to change publicly and anonymously. Hopefully we can bridge this divide since employee happiness is key to a successful business.
I respected Uber when they started for pushing against bs regulations like, "you're drivers need to belong to a taxi union," or "stay away from airports."

But why screw with taxes? They won't win that fight. Why not just pay California a little bit of money to legally run their self driving cars? It'll cost them more in salaries to have a meeting about the issue than to pay it. And why not just deal with sexual harassment in the workplace? It's the right thing to do

Our mission is to connect the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our first step is to build a weblog which not only collates posts from multiple social networks and blogging platforms but also enhance individual posts by the deep connectivity of hyperlinks, embeds, author's information, location information, image caching, image recognition, cross-posting, SEO, translation, and much more. Unlike traditional blogging platforms which are manually edited and maintained.

Rime is an AI-based personal website building platform, helps you to collect posts from multiple social networking services, such as Instagram, Tumblr, Flickr, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Youtube, facebook etc into one simple, intelligent and beautiful page. It's an online diary for your internet life, The Weblog.
Well, what about me? I _am_ volunteering, and a couple of others CC @fossjobs.net on Twitter whenever they come across a job offer.

Yes, you are right, this site depends on volunteers. So what? Wikipedia does as well. Why would anyone contribute their knowledge to something that does not help them? Well, maybe it will one day.

We don't have to start a debate about why anyone would volunteer anything, but I find your reasoning pretty self-centered. Also, you're arguing as if this was a mere proposal for a job site that lists FOSS jobs. No, it's not. Is is an actual site that lists FOSS jobs, and it works.

And don't forget about FOSS companies/NGOs who are looking for talent. Some of them actually like to post their job listings at our site, and do so with a very self-centered desire: To fill a position, potentially with less noise than using one of the other platforms. Why would FOSS developers want to look at all the depressing proprietary jobs on other platforms? :)

Cell phones are excluded from the ban, according to this article. That makes it highly unlikely that prevention of ability to text is the goal. I know very few people who text on their tablet, laptop, or camera.
$100 is the standard "extra" you have to pay across the line from most vendors for having built in 3G/4G.

Apple only charging $130 extra seems almost too cheap.
It requires hardware built into the display. I'm guessing that it's not very expensive though and the reason they don't incorporate it across the whole line-up is to retain their high margins on the Pro.
Introducing and Open Sourcing Flashback, an Internet Mocking Tool
While TLA+ itself is great, I suspect for many here that PlusCal (a "veneer" on top of TLA+) is more immediately useful. I didn't fully grasp either language until I understood PlusCal for what it is: a simple procedural language with two nondeterministic constructs, which can be used for describing concurrent state machines. Nothing more, nothing less.

(To understand PlusCal, you need first understand the basics of TLA+, but you don't need to understand the action system 100% in-depth.)

The idea behind PlusCal is to write your algorithm in it, leaving out the "unimportant" bits, and using the nondeterministic operators in place of any value that is not in your algorithm's control. The model checker, TLC, can then run all possible traces of your algorithm to search for conditions under which it may deadlock or violate some assertion you have made.

Changing public history is bad, because it makes collaboration and two devs working on one branch harder.

But I do not see a problem with rewriting history on a branch, if (and only if) you kind of know that no one else is pulling the changes. Or, when merging a PR, a rewrite is okay too, if the next feature will be branched off of the trunk, too.

Also, mercurial's tooling seems to help https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ChangesetEvolution with rewritten history by making it easier to track history rewrites. Basically I think this is a path in version control systems worth exploring.

I would say almost my entire family bought numerous iPad Minis just for the Facetime ability. We have non English speaking 90 year olds who loved how easy it is to Facetime great grandkids and it really is worth it (used to be only $300). It really did make it super easy to keep in touch over 4 different continents around the world.

Thomas Jefferson was adamantly opposed to said judiciary, because it made the constitution a "thing of wax"

The whole reason behind federalism was that states would have different ideas of what is good and should implement that. that way you could get away from states with bad laws. Today the Supreme Court and other judges completely ignores the constitution.

To play devil's advocate, I think what was suggested is that for the artists who do this kind of work, the eschewing of using a computer IS what makes this, if not superior, at least their preferred method of working. For at least some artists doing this work, the whole point is that everything you see is drawn by hand because they want to do that work, not for lack of a better tweening algorithm, machine learned or otherwise.

Why does this only apply to IP? Why isn't the company considered to own the employee's labour 24/7 in all regards? Your employer should be compensated for the labour you spend doing your washing. Or if you happen to spend an hour in the evening driving an Uber or subletting on AirBnB, your employer should own that as well?

Trying to use a Surface keyboard on my lap on a train sounds awkward, the trains I use don't have tables. I even find laptops ungainly and sometimes I don't get a seat, but I can still do pretty much anything on an iPad.

I think my error rate is a bit higher than when using a real keyboard, but the alternative would be not being productive during that time at all. I'm an old duffer though, I remember using CPM machines, 5.25" floppy drives, line editors and dot matrix printers. An iPad is fresh air and clear blue skies compared to stuff I've had to work with back in the day.
I worked on a FOSS project. Part of the Kuali consortia, making software for higher education.

I took the job to learn how these kinds of projects work. Specifically, the governance model. Well, it didn't.

I wish I understood why.

Writing about open sourcing Solaris, I think it was btilly who said that others had the right to fork, but not the power.

That describes Kuali perfectly. We consortia members couldn't do anything to help ourselves improve things, like simple bug fixes, without it being a major production. Very disempowering, pretty much the opposite of why I wanted to work on FOSS.

We need academic style comparative analysis of FOSS governance models, funding models, project methodologies, etc. Learn from our mistakes, help people in the future.
No problem, just a thought experiment.

Agreed. There is precedence for reclaiming abused terminology, like how 'isomorphic' javascript has become 'universal' javascript (though I'm not a big fan of that name either).

Either way, it's a confusing term for the uninitiated and sort of presumes that only the web-dev world exists (because as you say, serverless already has a meaningful definition in the computing world)
