It's not code though. In this case a resourceBundle would solve the duplicate image problem in java.

Hashing resources is like an intern problem, technically at least. Facebook must have some crazy politics to incur the image dedupe problem.

As far as objective c binaries go, all I can think of are static variables for coroutines, but I'm probably forgetting something. Java doesn't dedupe, but it's not that hard. C has to worry about flag state, so I kind of understand why they don't dedupe binaries.

I'm sure someone would get fired if one subsystem showed the wrong image, but I'd agree it's likely no one person has that in their job description.

Otoh, it's only a couple hundred wasted terabytes, and FB doesn't pay for them, so who cares?
We have to expand nuclear power. Many don't like it but at this point we have no other choice. Let solar drive the phasing out of nuclear reactors instead of coal power plants! Sadly in my country (Sweden) nuclear is not only taboo but it's illegal to perform research of the subject.. Laws passed by a severely misinformed "green" movement...

The author suggests that if you assume that not having an internet connection at home is highly impractical, you should take a moment to really think about whether you're assuming too much.

I agree. As for me, I'm a remote worker but I rent a desk in a coworking space, which means I can use their high speed internet for hours every day. That's a lot of time to acquire information and do chores.

So the consequence of not having internet at home would be, basically, that I'm offline between 7 PM and 9 AM, or whatever. When I've lived without internet before, I've spent a couple of hours on weekend days in cafes checking my websites.

It's not necessarily a horrible austerity. For me, I've always experienced an offline home as very relaxing, nice, and peaceful. (Of course there are many factors which can make it impractical, e.g. family.)

It would be quite ironic if irreversible climate change will come about because of ignorance of "green" anti-nuclear activists.
This definitely will not work for Software Engineers, especially developers. We constantly go online looking for solutions to problems we face in everyday work.
So may the best one of us win. My most profitable investments have been based on other people's myopia, and it is a far sweeter victory than scoring points in an online discussion forum.
Politics always affects research, even private research. This is simply a fact of life - there is no taking it away from politics entirely.

What this does is removes the second portion of research/policy connection - when policy changes based on the results of the science. It can disallow for proper public discussion. For example, I fully expect the justice department to not convict someone over a flawed forensic science, once we find out it is flawed. Only, with the internal review, we might not find out it is flawed at all. The 'official' report might just say this is stellar when it isn't.

That would be interesting, though I fear that system would suffer the same problems. It could be corrupted by a desire to receive ongoing funding (either the individual researchers, or the organization).

Physics research is an example of something which is hard to corrupt politically. However, because government is at least somewhat in charge of so many things today, fields like medicine, mental health, anthropology, even geology can become political.

Then there are the obvious things like matters relating to guns, where the government has a clear interest in "proving" that the public shouldn't have guns, which is one of the CDC was barred from doing research related to this. If I recall correctly, one of the researchers employed by the CDC was recorded insinuating that his team would manipulate the observations to reach a foregone conclusion.

The other obvious one is the relationship between government research, lobbying (official and unofficial), and regulatory bodies.

I do get why it is attractive to fund research with government money, however. It can often seem like there just isn't enough money in research, and indeed there isn't much; but if your research dollar is spent on corrupt research then it may be worse than nothing.

By relying on private money, the special interests can be diversified automatically, which seems more healthy to my mind.
The same reason why you otherwise deprecate stuff. Because it's still used. As for React, they have such a variable to allow interop with the react dev tools.
I think it's called Intermittent fasting with an 8hour food window. You can find lots of links, but the idea is to restrict the calories a bit within the 8h window if you want to lose weight. If you eat much more than your calory intake, you will gain weight. Intermittent fasting is believed to burn the fat within the 16hour fasting window, as the body would enter a ketosis stage. There are various forms of this intermittent fasting, but this daily one seems the most popular.
I am surprised anyone finds this surprising.

In every industry, everywhere, employees are an expense.

I have been thinking about this a lot, ever since I first read this article, some years ago.

Most of my freelance projects and technical coaching gigs in the last few years where at companies that were in or after their "Agile transition". And most got "Agile" horribly wrong.

I think cargo cult is an issue, but the problem goes deeper. I wrote a conference talk titled "Your Company Will Never Be Agile" around that topic. The gist is:

Many C-level executives want "true business agility" for their company: They want to be able to react quickly when circumstances change. Many "workers in the trenches" (developers, testers, ...) want to be able to do good work and provide value to the customer.

But in established companies, the organizational structure, processes and policies, annual budgets, KPI and bonus systems and middle management prevent the company from becoming truly agile.

So, young, small companies are more agile, because (among other things) they did not become a bureaucracy yet, they are mostly run by engineers with not much middle management, and because of survivor bias (they do not have a war chest yet, so those that were not able to react quickly do not exist anymore).

Unfortunately, there is no English recording (but the slides are here: https://speakerdeck.com/dtanzer/your-company-will-never-be-a... ).
My code is certainly flawed, the question is if it behaves more or less as advertised.

I would be more open to such criticism from users of the software. In my opinion that type of comment is worse than backseat driving, at least in that case the passenger is a stakeholder.
After a lot of consideration, I went with Corral over NAS4Free because the former offered the (FreeBSD native) Bhyve hypervisor for VM's whereas NAS4Free has an integrated Virtualbox instance.

After yet another issue with basic functionality in the Corral release - and reading about even worse experiences on the forums, I decided I couldn't trust this product with the most crucial role in my environment and installed NAS4Free instead.

Will it really hurt them financially though? Significantly that is?

Of course very few people will defend the airline's actions here, but while saying you won't ever fly United again is easy, is competition really strong enough among (in this case) US domestic airlines to enforce that boycott?

I am guessing most people will simply opt for United if their flights are the most convenient for them, and leave the boycotting to someone else.

I suspect not just because talk is cheap, but also because we have come to accept the current state of affairs surround air travel. From the moment you step into an airport until you depart at your destination, you submit. You'll docilely submit to standing in a queue being treated as a potential terrorist to the point of being shouted at if you don't comply fast enough or simply don't understand what is required of you, and (for most of us who can't afford first or business class) you'll submit to being treated as a third rate citizen. Flying means keeping your head down and submitting until you regain your sovereignty at your point of destination.

Flying sucks, and we grudgingly accept it in lieu of alternatives, or because we actually believe that this treatment is necessary for our safety. Next week people will have mostly forgotten about this incident and will fly United without a second thought if the need arises.
I agree. A 3.5" version of that is exactly what I need.
> Emails, again I simply deal with the way we used to before smartphones. As and when.

Which is exactly the opposite of my way of handling e-mail versus SMS. It it's really really urgent, be courteous enough to give your time and call me. For anything else send an e-mail.

E-mail is my primary communication channel and any device that can't handle it is useless. Whereas SMS is discourteous to me as it demands that I read and respond on one particular device, rather than that which is most convenient or appropriate. Quite often I'll read an e-mail on my phone and sit-down at the laptop to compose a reply.

"I suspect the point is that if the only group which is in any way meaningfully enriched are the lawyers, there is a problem we should be examining in the underlying system.
"

Yes, and probably stop enriching anyone.

But again, i could argue literally the same thing about startups or anything else HN cares about, and it makes about as much sense (since you haven't said "why" this makes sense)

IE i could say:
"if the only group of people meaningfully enriched are early startup employees, there is a problem we should be examining in the underlying system".

You act as if the problem is the lawyers here. Much like crappy startups, the lawyers are just doing what clients are quite literally paying them to do. The underlying problem is the people who think this is their ticket to money.
Until you solve that cultural problem, you won't get anywhere. Without people trying to sue over everything and believing they are entitled to mondo bucks because their coffee maker failed one morning or whatever, you would have no problem whatsoever.

But right now we've built a system of private enforcement. That's ... what the lawyers do. and they take the cases likely to actually be good for business.
If you want a different system, you'd also have to change the enforcement mechanism.

"...A system lobbied for, and legislated by said lawyers."

What?
You realize there are lawyers lobbying on both sides of this, right?

They both spend and lobby about equal amounts, too. You see the same thing in criminal law as well.

Are you sure about that, if they inform you that they're revoking your ticket and telling you to leave? Passengers are required to obey the flight crew at all times.

"Rule 21: Refusal of Transport: UA shall have the right to refuse to transport or shall have the right to remove from the aircraft at any point, any Passenger for the following reasons:"

"H. Safety – Whenever refusal or removal of a Passenger may be necessary for the safety of such Passenger or other Passengers or members of the crew including, but not limited to: "

"2. Passengers who fail to comply with or interfere with the duties of the members of the flight crew, federal regulations, or security directives;"

Or, if not trespassing, would you like "breach of contract" or something? I'm sure they could find something; I'm neither very creative or experienced when it comes to making up criminal charges in order to punish people for interfering with my profit.

Reading through it, the entire law enforcement power structure seems to have formed an opinion that this was criminally negligent parenting and that they were going to find a way to throw the book at the guy no matter what.

They noticed that he saved his own neck, rather than sacrifice everything, and did not risk his own life for his 3 children (infants/toddler). Thus, they fed him to the lions. It wasn't enough for him to have suffered burns. Their opinion clearly was that if those children were dead, then he can get it too.

After that, the rest was the machine operating as usual.

They didn't convict him of a crime as per what happened. They convicted him of the crime on the books that had the punishment that fit the situation and their collective opinion of it.

They wanted him dead, not because of heavy metal, or any other reason on display at the dog and pony show, theater trial. They wanted him dead because they felt that it was unreasonable that 3 children (who probably weren't old enough to walk and talk too well) could not be rescued in time, by the only person taking care of them at the moment. Part of the expectation there, is that he should have been steps away, and within arms reach of them.

They threw due process in the trash because they just didn't like what happened.
Totally agree. But is this an issue in Sweden? I thought most of your electricity was from renewable energy already.
You just lost the entire vote that put Trump into office and about three quarters of the country. Keep in mind those subsidies generally flow to investors in real estate, too, so you're losing more voters than you think. They had a real reason, once; the real problem is inertia and campaigning, which is what makes them stick. Hard to go to Iowa and tell them that billions of dollars are "being taken from family farms," which is exactly how it would be portrayed and oh by the way your Whopper is going to double in price too, and somehow still achieve office.

Solve that problem. Then we get somewhere.
A government with the power to population control probably would control us in other ways too. If you're going to tell people how many kids they can have, you might as well tell them what jobs they can work, what religion they can have, and just about anything that achieves your agenda.

Suggesting environment variables or stdin is avoiding the issue to me.

For it to get into the environment or stdin it has to be stored somewhere.

Where is that somewhere and how do you access it?

Ideally the secrets, and the keys to access them would never be accessible directly by the person who initiated the deployment; they'd be fetched directly from where they're stored to where they're deployed.

git-crypt can be a part of this.

More likely you'd something purpose built like many of the solutions mentioned in this discussion.

> In case you mean the .fw file used in that driver, that's a misnomer. There is no CPU inside the EPDC. That .fw file is a plain voltage waveform file that defines voltage vs time waveforms to get pixels to appropriate graylevels. "Liberating" that would be akin to "liberating" the content of a .wav file. ie: just use hexdump -C.

I meant the waveform data at offset 0x700000 on the internal storage of the Kobo devices (which is similar but not the same as the .fw files in firmware/imx/). It's not clear whether distribution is allowed.

One the one hand, I find it amusing to have programming analogies to complex social and economic issues.

On the other hand, this analogy (and others) are pretty useful. Makes me think sociological discourse would benefit from using logical systems as a frame of reference.
It's most impressive trait is that it is a holistic approach to UI and design. There aren't many "systems" out there for that.

However I agree, there isn't much new and impressive in it and the evangelistic design chatter it created, much like the Flat Design trend, gets very stale and can stifle good conversation on the topic.

All managers not only engage in waterfall, but covet all of the privileges of waterfall. The ability to tell lessers what to program down to the line of code is the ultimate expression of power for people who will never, ever be C-level. And to top it off, they use their powers to force you to compel you to agree that their practices are agile.

Agile has never, and will never exist when micromanagement is a good enough drug for those who will never reach actual influence.

On the other hand, China seems to think nuclear power is unavoidable.

India too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%27s_three-stage_nuclear_...

Stage 2 is fast breeder reactors and stage 3 is thorium-fuelled reactors. Nuclear is their only realistic option if they want to at least slow the pace at which they're adding more coal-fired generating capacity.

I think there's a problem with how electricity generation issues get reported in the press. When we're talking about electrical power, there are three figures that sometimes get used (incorrectly) interchangeably: installed generation capacity (i.e. nameplate), actual electricity generated, actual electricity generated and consumed.

I'm not going to even bother with the third type, which is the most problematic for solar and wind (as you cannot control when and how much % of capacity you generate), because data is not readily available.

But even for the first vs. second type (installed capacity vs. actual generation), you have as percentages of total installed capacity / total actual generation:

2014-15:

- Renewable 'nameplate' installed capacity == 13.17%

- Renewable actual % total electricity generated == 2.97%

- Nuclear 'nameplate' installed capacity == 2.13%

- Nuclear actual % total electricity generated == 3.27%

2015-16:

- Renewable 'nameplate' installed capacity == 14.18%

- Renewable actual % total electricity generated == 3.09%

- Nuclear 'nameplate' installed capacity == 1.91%

- Nuclear actual % total electricity generated == 3.20%

In other words, renewable installed capacity went from 6.2 times that of nuclear in 14-15 to 7.4 times in 15-16. Yet, over the same period, renewable increased its share of actual electricity generated by a paltry 0.12% (as in, a twelfth of one percent). Nuclear installed capacity was unchanged and contributed 0.06% less to total actual electricity generated (i.e. generated relatively less as other sources added capacity in that year).

I sure hope the relationship between renewable installed capacity and generation are not linear, otherwise we're going to be working on this for a while...

To me, a lot of Agile breaks the first rule. A Certified SCRUM Master comes in and overhauls your processes. That is, in effect, processes and tools straight up, from the minute that scrum master goes on a course.

It wouldn't be much of a course if it didn't teach some process for implementing SCRUM.

It wouldn't be much of a consultation if the consultant tells you to go speak to your customers and find out what is really bothering them and how you can deliver working software quickly to alleviate that.

So you have daily standup a, weekly retrospectives, a designated master, product owner, a process for estimation, a n-week sprint. Those are must haves. That's all process.
