I have been working in IT companies for 5 years and facing with different challenges. One of them it was IT support and security while we gave it for outsource.
First of all, it was more cost effective than hiring an in-house System Administrators. We chose a service with 100% responsible for the client's IT infrastructure support such as server maintence and user support.Duties include matching the client with the right telephony and Internet providers, helping to maintain peripherals and performing regular equipment checks along with troubleshooting. An outsourced employee can solve up to 90% of total tasks remotely.

As disadvantage I saw when the outstaffed System Administrator has to visit the office of the client company to fix an issue, the service delivery time depends on the office location.

If you need a recomendation of a service, let me know :)

I really wish people would look beyond Snowden. It isn't as if there was zero knowledge of these types of programs or whistleblowers before him. William Binney, Thomas Drake, J. Kirk Wiebe, and Edward Loomis, just to name a few, deserve a lot more credit in this instance.

Most job offers require more than one language - often a front end language and a back end language so its not surprising that JavaScript is higher as its the only real option on the front end. I use both in my job but I spend far more time in Python (and as far as preference goes Python wins hands down over JS).
> None of those are C vulnerabilities, they were mistakes made on the part of the developers, not the language.

Would you ever declare a bug to be the language's fault, other than compiler bugs?
Perhaps its because they often release unique/collectable coins for sale, and so a simple cache wouldn't work. It seems odd to apply it to a static page as well as the shop though.
> Hetzner currently charges EUR 1.40 / TB of additional traffic, so marginal distribution costs are in the range of EUR 10^-3 / Movie.

you can't just use the traffic cost. also if they would on hetzner, their network would be so bad that nobody could've watch netflix. (not that the hetzner network is bad, but it wouldn't withstand the amount of traffic from netflix (especially inter-region traffic is not as cheap as it could be, and also they need to talk with amazon/google about their traffic ("public pricing" is 0,01 USD per GB)))

also there are other things that needs to be paid, servers, developers and other staff and stuff.

it's not just that you write 20 lines of code and put it on hetzner and can scale globally.

Unlike all the other restrictions on material allowed in-flight recently, this ban only applies to specific airports/countries. One must ask why shoebomber or liquid explosive plots resulted in universal bans while this one is country-specific. Imho this is business and politics. This everyday safety mesure is being applied selectively in order to disadvantage some and advantage others. If ipads are a threat, ban them. Dont ban them only on routes dominated by non-US airlines.

Yes, I think you're right, it's probably better to be known for your 1 or 2 high quality hits and take a few losses overall, than to be known for low quality shows.

That on top of the fact they can use data to minimise the risk must mean it's a realistic option.
Blog Posts have almost no quality. A lot of those early blog guys cashed in, like ZenHabits, Ramit Sethi, etc. They are charlatons, who offer nothing of substance and charge 1000x for products becuase people like a certain post, and then binge all their other shit. It's just marketing bullshit. I have yet to find quality posts that aren't from intelligent people like Paul Graham, or Norvig.

> Where do these anti-React (anti-spa?) people come from

Are you implying that react-way is the only way of doing SPA-s?

> Do you think the web Peaked with Perl-based CGI-scripts

I think your comment is just rude. There are plenty of other options in the JS world - react is just one of them.
There is something I do not understand. Why does `<div>` not create a syntax error in the Javascript examples? Is there a pre-processor?
You know that nobody forces you to read it, right?

Yes, JSX considers that valid syntax.
One explanation I haven't heard, is that this is about the idea that somebody could hack a plane from the passenger compartment. There doesn't even have to be evidence of a concrete plan - it would be enough for someone who knows about these kind of attacks to get the ear of somebody influential in the government, who then proactively enacts this ban. (The hacking story might be a good pretext to convince people internally, while the real motivation might be economic.)
A lot of stories seem to be written taking into account that kind of passage of time... Game of Thrones and Harry Potter is literally and figuratively the story of the characters growing up. Love on the other hand, is set immediately after season 1.

Also, shows that run on a long or continuous schedule don't allow for the kind of care and polish - if you're churning out an episode a week, you can only do sitcom type stuff. No visual effects, no story arcs (too many actors come and go), no locations (can't spend all year outdoors). Doing seasons allows the team to get together, shoot for a few months and wrap, like a 10 hour movie.

I think actors prefer few months of intense work per project a year, so they can do other stuff as well. If it's 3 to 5 days a week all year you're locked in too much.

The UK already has a bimetallic £2 coin. I don't see anything radically new here.
First, OT, I'm unable to edit my comment so sorry for the typos, my spell-checker was apparently on holiday. Now, to address your reply, people _are_ opinion-forming beings, its our human nature. We do have opinions even if we try to convince our-selves we don't. Writing a blog without exposing your opinion just so you won't offend anyone is an intellectual humanity-denying crime. Its a form of self-castration in my eyes. If you insist on writing dry, soul-less pieces of wikipedia-like information, maybe blogging is not the right format for you. Opinions are the "sauce" of an article. We are all humans, no-one remembers that colleague who never had an argument about anything, but you do remember that one ahole who always meant trouble, his opinions and world views. You may even miss that ahole once in a while ("yeah, I'm sure would have said something to that manager")

How about your stop shitting on immigrants and blaming them for everything?

It only fosters irrational hate and causes unnecessary violence.

It's not like those immigrants are occupying good paying low skill jobs that could otherwise be done by Americans. They do fruit picking in California for below minimum wage.

Immigration is used as a scapegoat.

Look at Germany. They have the same policies. They have immigration. They have open borders and they have free trade policies and they fully embrace globalism.

Yet Germany retained its high paying relatively low skill jobs and the US didn't. The reason is simply that the various CEOs in the respective countries decided on different business strategies. In the US it seems they decided to go with low cost manufacturing in China/Mexico.

Why prevent others from reading the file? I guess mainly to avoid them reading mid-update in an inconsistent state.

But preventing the read completely until you are done writing the file is arguably also not "consistent", the reader wants a file and gets an error instead.

So now the reader has to either error out or implement some error handling, like waiting a bit which is rather impractical. But wouldn't it be nicer if he just got the "old" version of the file until you are finished with the update and "commit" the new file?
>Yes but autotune is a style choice for artists. It's a not something every musician uses. It hasn't taken over music, and it's not like anyone can become a musician because autotune exists.

You'd be surprised on both fronts :-)

On the first because autotune is prevalent regardless of genre and style choices (even in rock, country, etc). It's just the Cher/T-pain effect that has been toned done, but autotune is very much in use in the industry for vocal correction.

On the second, because almost any crap singer pop idol with nice looks can pretend to be in tune and pass out bearable results because of autotune.

We recently used Next.js to build out an MVP. It was a pleasure to work with.

For those wondering what this is, it's basically a slightly more opinionated Create React App [1].

Here are some of the benefits:

- No need to setup complicated tooling

- Server and client (SPA-style) rendering out of the box

- Filesystem for routing using the `pages` directory

- `getInitialProps` component lifecycle to encapsulate data requirements per component

- Automatic code splitting for each route

- If it works with React, it works with Next.js

Here are some of the issues we encountered:

- Importing non-JS files from `node_modules` (like normalize.css) was not as simple as it could be (#1245 [2])

- Animation transition between pages is still being worked on (#88 [3])

- There are still some inconsistencies between server and client that could improve, like running Webpack on the server (#1245 [2])

- Doing proper scroll restoration when routing (#1309 [4])

We will continue to use it as long as it keeps letting us move fast without having to worry about spending hours setting up React tooling.

This project is a short film that has already been shot/edited/scored and is nearly finished, but could use some additional funding to get the visual effects completed. It's a passion project that I think Christopher Lee and Lewis Carroll fans will enjoy seeing finished. I'm not really trying to "sell" the movie in the traditional sense, because I don't think it will ever recoup its costs. I'm just trying to get the movie across the finish line and out into the world, so it's sort of a different situation than most film/tv projects that are aggressively trying to make money.

I have a rough outline of the web's history kind of mapped out from a couple of years of loose research. I usually pick a general topic and just dive in. Pretty quickly, a topic reveals itself and I just follow a thread until I have a story. Don't know if I'll be able to keep this up forever, but for now, there's plenty of connections to make.
I can name at least a few shows that are at least on par with the ones named:
House of Cards
Orange Is the New Black
Narcos
Stranger Things

You're also naming one of a kind series most of whom are HBO produced. Sounds like you just like HBO, but even HBO doesn't put out shows like that every year.

That said, they have real numbers so there will be more of a bent for casual less involved shows that probably reach a wider audience. That said, I don't seem to have a problem finding high caliber shows, but I'm also a sucker for the Marvel shows, etc they've been producing and happy to watch those A&E shows on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Yes but a player who was an absolute shite programmer could just throw their bank account at the problem.

While my O(n) solution maybe eloquent, they can afford O(n^n) so provided our _players_ make the same outcome the algorithmic complexity is irrelevant if you can afford it.

The game uses a soft turn based _ticks_ timer. So provided your O(n^n) solution can execute in 1 tick. Their is no difference.

It isn't really a cost/problem to "ask the whole population to replace their coins". Coins are constantly being circulated, with worn ones replaced by new ones anyway.

The cost of changing comes primarily from businesses having to update vending machines, coin counting machines, etc (as well as increased production costs due to the new security features.)

But this switch has been planned for many years, so businesses have had a long time to prepare.

The landscape of video entertainment is being reshaped. Over the last two or three decades, content production has gotten much cheaper, easier and faster. In the last decade or so, content distribution has gotten cheaper, easier and faster.

As a result, what we've called "television" is now a place where long-form dramatic stories can unfold. Since it's more affordable to produce, content which can appeal to smaller audiences can be created and marketed to those smaller audiences.

Cinema is where the short-story of the video world now exists. While content distribution is easier, cinema is constrained by a finite number of theaters. Financing a motion picture is extremely conservative: if you don't have an established audience, you will have trouble getting funded. So now we see mostly adaptations, sequels, nostalgia-fests. I wouldn't say that a story has to have "stories that could be true" in order to be compelling and moving art. But the most compelling stories certainly tend to be set in the present with non-supernatural characters.

> handful of providers of content. Hollywood, HBO, Netflix, Amazon. That's not nearly enough.

It seems like we're seeing a significant direct investment from content distributors directly into content production. I agree that it could be a bit of an oligopoly, but the fact that it's "easy" to make a content distribution enterprise (relative to how it was in 1910-2000) means that we have more entertainment choices now than ever before.
I've noticed video blogging becoming more popular. Unfortunately, I find it more difficult to deal with as it requires wearing headphones and is also very slow.
