> It's a small time allotment where everyone gets just a couple of minutes to sum up where they were yesterday, where they're going today and what's holding them up.

Don't you have a kanban board or equivalent where you can see what everyone's been up to and what their upcoming tasks are? Do you need to know what's holding them up if it's not you?

For those of us complaining, it's not that we don't see the value, we just see other, arguably better ways to get the same value.

More simplistically we have to care about things beyond our most immediate surroundings. The extent of that concern has always been something that people argue about, just look at how the left and right view "community" differently. But it is essentially a moral question more than a practical or scientific one. Making people aware of the ethical dimension of their actions is worthwile. It is just difficult to do that without being annoying and preachy!
The code, as given, removes only adjacent repeated values. If the data you feed it is sorted then yes, all repeats will be removed, but that's not part of the code he's writing and analysing, that's just how he generates his sample data.

And I can see why the sample data would be generated like that. If you simply generate random values then it's unlikely there will be many adjacent repeats. Sorting it ensures that there will, and by adjusting the size of array/vector and the range from which the random numbers are chosen you can control the expected number of repeats.

I also observe that his opening example - 1,1,2,3,3,3,4,0,0 - is not sorted, so the sorting really is just to give examples that are worth analysing.

So to repeat, the code only removes adjacent duplicate values.

What would be the consumer for that kind of flow? It makes sense on switches, but for a single device, it would be hard to find a reason. We can do 4kUHD way under 1Gbps. We don't get over 1Gbps internet at home. We can't write that fast to any permanent medium. Even RAM will slowly start being a problem if the DDR4 bandwidth is only 6 time higher than 10GbE.
> Never give up mentioning problems

I've tried this strategy, but it just comes off as whining. People's reactions tend to be "we all know that's a problem, but what's the fix? None of us have any power to apply any fixes."

The essential strategy to make a company more agile is to a) spend some time at the bottom, to understand how daily processes aren't agile and are broken up by the organization's silos, b) explain how the organization isn't agile to executives, until finally c) you and the executives talk to middle management together and start to take on the middle-management fiefdoms.

The very good reason why Agile requires C-level support is because it often involves reorganization or firings at the middle-management level. You're never going to get anywhere complaining to people on lower levels, or to middle management, which is typically against changes to organizational structure. If the executives aren't on board ("we can never change that in this company"), leave and find another company.

Solar power is catching on but it does not work on all roofs in all locations and I am curious if companies pushing home roof top installations are upfront with their numbers.

I know our local energy co-op lets you "invest" into a facility they have constructed where they are adding panels as demand increases. The logic here is, not outlay of funds by the home owners, maintenance needs are consolidated to one location, and it can be ideally situated.

Until panel installs become near maintenance free and service technicians are common where inspections are fast and cheap its not going to solve our problems.

I am hoping TESLA's previous announcement related to solar shingles and such plays out well. It needs to become cheap enough that even if your system is not ideally situated its cheap enough to be economical.

You're right, it would help. Unfortunately, probably the most effective method [0] of achieving population control (short of actively killing people) is accelerating economic and social development in poorer countries. At the moment, economic development seems to be correlated with increased co2 emissions intensity.

The insane optimist in me tends to think that as we develop cost-effective methods of generating electricity without the co2 we will also have greater capacity to aid economic development in third-world countries. So on the upside, there seems to be a 'virtuous cycle' in here somewhere.

I can recommend 'Who is Fourier?' By the Transnational College of Lex. It assumes very little prior knowledge and introduces the reader to, among others, the concepts of trigonometry, calculus, imaginary numbers, logarithms and Fourier analysis.

The assertion is that, as cool as iPhones and flying are, this lifestyle may or may not be sustainable, e.g. regarding the CO2 levels.

Leaving aside your silly anger about "hippie bullshit" (really?) and regardless of our history of "competing, losing, getting ahead", what would you propose? Are we just going to brace for pain, and then compete over diminishing ressources?

Consider: all of environment protection legislation that we take for granted now was once "hippie bullshit".
Yes. The funny thing is that at a company I worked for in the 90ies, we were very agile, before that became a thing, and it was GREAT. Empowering, fun, engineering-driven, effective, efficient. The things we did with our tiny team were amazing.

When I read about XP, what I read very much resonated with what we were doing, without ever having a name for it other than "what we do and like that works well".

However, whenever I've seen Agile applied at other companies, it was horrible. And yet they refer to the same words. Someone recently told me "Agile/XP/etc. sound like slaves trying to figure out better ways to please their masters". And when I take that frame of reference, yep, that is exactly what it sounds like.

So something weird is going on with those words.
That's why the videogame industry is the way it is: people love to create and play games. It's pretty well-known that this love of games is exploited by employers.
Exactly, I have vast wealth of contextual knowledge because of browsing Internet regarding multiple stuff from philosophy, computer science, history etc.

This has resulted me to find and appreciate connections between various stuff, things I never would have in a analog fashion of only reading books(which I do as that deepens the knowledge).

The internet expands and augments our perspective with that of so many others in a searchable fashion with element of serendipity & discovery to it.

Social media may contain lots of irrelevant noise, but that doesn't define the internet, like reality shows don't define existence.Te web in general has been a extremely positive gift to me, and to spurn it is not a option for me at least.
I'm no ios dev but my thinking was that it was done this way for flexibility. So one internal framework could be developed entirely separate from the other app code. And maybe one framework gets updated with a new dependency before the others.

Either way, this "analysis" seems pretty superficial. I can run a "du" of almost anything and it won't tell me much. And this author misleads intentionally by giving no explanation, but the implication is very clear from the post that Facebook is lazy and sloppy with disk usage.

For websites, at least, this can be partially worked around if you stop doing stupid shit. Just don't put 1MB of JS and a 10MB hero image over an article if all you want is to deliver text communicating a message.

Maybe at 29 I'm an old curmudgeon now, but right now I'm building a new website + blog for myself, with a simple, typographic layout, 100% static HTML, and as little CSS and JS as I can get away with. Right now a full article (no images) is about 28KB transferred, including a 11KB CSS framework I'll probably cut in half before even minifying it. The assumption now is that >50KB for a page (excluding images) means I've failed.
Have you carefully examined how the dairy industry works?

I'm not convinced that a vegetarian diet that includes factory farmed dairy involves much less cruelty than an omnivorous diet. Maybe more, if the omnivore were to avoid factory farmed meat and dairy.

That said, I'm not a vegetarian myself, because I don't believe it's in my rational self-interest.

Based on my personal experience, most projects are doomed from the start due to these 2 MAJOR problems:

1. Not prioritizing the task of gathering, decomposing and documenting use-cases at the project kick-off.

2. Chronically under-estimating effort required.

I think the question everyone is failing to ask is: what's the interview process like? Do they put you through 4 rounds of whiteboard coding bullshit followed by a coding assessment followed by a pair programming session? If anything, I'd argue the interview process for such a nice role should be the most rigorous because you can't rely on auto-complete-by-stackoverflow.

It sidesteps the difficulty by making the math itself (at least for the time being) much more difficult, and that is the reason it was rejected by most mathematicians in the Hilbert/Brouwer debates. Because here's the question: suppose you can't philosophically justify the "existence" of the real numbers, yet they coincide perfectly with observation and result in math that is much simpler than constructive math. Should you reject them? Brouwer -- who was the first to recognize just how much ordinary math relies on non-constructive principles -- said yes, because non-constructive math is philosophically wrong, period. Hilbert -- who was a finitist -- instead suggested that the propositions of math come in two flavors: real propositions, those that are finitary and can be taken to say something about physical reality, and ideal propositions, that are not. He said that as long as the ideal propositions are consistent with the ideal ones, they should not be rejected on a priori philosophical grounds even if no finitary meaning can be assigned to them. I.e. they are philosophically justified after the fact by virtue of their consistency with the real propositions. This philosophical classification of mathematics into "real" and "ideal" is called formalism, because it does not require that the ideal propositions be assigned a finitary meaning beyond their formal statement (as a finite string of characters).

Of course, most mathematicians are not finitist, so they require neither intuitionism nor formalism -- both essentially finitist philosophies -- and are Platonists, believing that even ideal objects that are beyond physical reality and computation have a "real existence" in some Platonic sense.

BTW, I think that after Turing (who used Brouwer's choice sequences in his construction of computable numbers) it is no longer necessary to rely on "free choice" (or lawless) sequences because of the halting theorem, and both lawlike and lawless sequences can be unified, and Brouwer's "creating subject" identified with a Turing machine. But I'm not sure about that. Turing -- who was a mathematical philosopher himself -- rejected any dogmatic a priory philosophy of mathematics, except for common sense, as the one true foundation, and suggested that the value of a formal system be derived not from its a priori philolosphy but from its ad hoc utility.
My post:

> Except lots of eggs get broken today as a matter of course. If a technology saves lives, losing them to get it quicker might be a matter of balance.

The premise is that losing lives can be offset against saving them. "going out of their way to imperil people" suggests needless harm.

> You're literally, plain as day saying that ethics is merely self interest

No I don't, I give a specific example where I think this is the case; I don't apply this to all situations, or ethics in general.

I also don't "represent doing the right thing as avoiding being linked personally" - I do represent this as the only difference between two examples of doing good, (and hence don't think they are any different), but I don't question the value of doing good, but the relative values of one over another; I see value in saving lives, I don't see value in saving fewer lives because there might be personal liability.

> Saving the girl who was run over does not imperil anyone

This was a real example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Wang_Yue

> forcing me to go back and re-state the basic premise

You are wrong about the premise, so accusing me of playing tactics is moot.

> prove that you actually made the claim about ethics being self-interested

I said something about self-interest, in a specific case. You generalized this to "all good behavior.. I don't appreciate that.
There must be a lot of people out there with 16GB iPhones that are constantly out of space. I don't think Apple publishes stats, but I guess >50% buy the cheapest model. The Facebook app also likes to use 500 MB for cache with no way to clear it other than deleting the app.
Businesses in general seem to have a really hard time dealing with training and institutional knowledge transfer these days.

As an example from another industry, my father was working as a mechanic/greaser in a power plant for the past 17 years, alongside a millwright who had been there for 30, since they opened the doors. In the last six months, they both retired - after telling management what their timetables were about five years ago. The company never brought in anyone to train under them and learn all the minutia of how the plant works that is locked away in their heads. They haven't even hired anyone full-time to replace them. Needless to say, equipment all over the plant is starting to break down, because simple things like greasing bearings regularly isn't being done properly, and when things break down, they aren't being put back together properly, because no one knows the idiosyncrasies of the equipment. Every hour this plant is down costs tens of thousands of dollars.

The millwright is starting to get called in as a consultant for three times his previous hourly wage.

Not sure how you arrived at the conclusion but I disagree.

Ocean acidification from CO2 absorption, plastic pollution (including microplastics), overfishing, the destruction of the species that influence the oceanic carbon cycle and the overall increasing frequency of harmful algal blooms...

Not a good forecast for the continued survival of fish.
Pigs are actually a lot better than cows because they are monogastric. So we can cut CO2 emissions by eating more pork and less beef.

3 Main Issues of Kindle Fire HD and How to Resolve Them?
What a great simple concept!
It is comparable, and thinking about agriculture as a closed system is not even close to correct. We're mowing down natural carbon sinks to an insane degree to grow crops to feed animals, one of the major reasons of deforestation and land use change in South America, for instance.

And not only that, we grow slow-acting carbon and turn it into fast-acting methane.

I strongly doubt Musk would have such a simplistic view of agricultural emissions, they're a big concern for a reason.
I want someone to take the whole left by company like NeXT or Sun. the workstation but not PC space.
It goes beyond bracing for pain. We'd better be bracing for extinction. And our iPhones and supermarkets won't save us, only our ingenuity will and we now have an administration not much interested in that. This does not bode well for us.
Not to take anything away from the impressive technological advancement we have made, but that is certainly not the reason that we can now talk about spirituality. Spirituality and related philosophy has been existing long before any of this existed. Ironically, lot of people once they have spiritual realization, move to lifestyle which you would consider "poor living standards".
I wouldn't call it that, but if I had to for some reason I'd go with percentiles. Within the group of people who make 100-999k, 200k puts you at about the 80th percentile. I think 80th percentile is good enough to call "high".
Use CoreOS, use kubeadm. Knowledge of go-lang is necessary (I hope this will change, as go's readability is ... very lacking).

You have to understand that there are still a lot of unfinished features (for example, almost no real documentation), still a lot of operational aspects left uncovered (persistent volume backed by local disk - for example running software that needs low-latency I/O, eg. DB servers).

The general installation flow is to beat it into submission. Drag the thing kicking and screaming into a cluster until it forms a quorum. (etcd, apiserver + controller-manager + cloud-stuff, scheduler, kubelets), and don't forget about the overlay network. And that's it, if it works and ugly, it works. As you say there are too many bugs in docker/rkt (OCR, libcontainer, the container filesystem problems - overlayfs, aufs, btrfs, devicemapper, AppArmor, SELinux labels and so on issues, and other Linux kernel related issues), and in Kubernetes itself too, and then there's the whole networking layer/aspect, still very much in flux.

But it's usable, because it's "antifragile", so if it can reach a working state, you can be pretty confident that it'll be able to reach it again if you add more nodes, nodes crash, load fluctuates, updates happen, deployments happen, etc.
