Andrew Hacker, 2012.

His main argument seems to be:

* Math is hard;

* It makes students fail;

* I've never used it;

* Therefore we shouldn't teach it.

So why bother teaching anything? If the point is to make it easier to pass school, why not just hand out certificates to say they've passed and then let employers select who they choose and provide training.

the idea that makerspaces will replace retail seems bizarre. People go to these places to experiment, build and have fun - not to produce day-to-day objects for use. 3D printing is still far too expensive to be used for generating commodities too.

but at the same time, subreddits are generally pretty insular. Reddit isn't a flat bazaar like twitter, it's a series of cathedrals. There are a few subreddits (generally the defaults) that are more bazaar-like but they are the exception rather than the rule, and are still constrained by a subject and strict rules.
Thanks for your reply! I don't agree that concurrency is a mess with Core Data, it has good support for this. Of course you need to be careful to get things right, but this goes for whichever technology you are using. As for upgrading the app, if you are doing anything else than a lightweight migration you need to know what you are doing, but that problem doesn't at all go away if you roll your own database layer. I believe Core Data is actually of great help in solving those pretty complex problems.

It would be a terrible idea to give Portland any more power to swing things in the state of Maine than it already has. Already, there's some pretty big tensions because Portland and its suburbs can effectively dictate to the rest of the state - and the situations in Portland and Scarborough are quite a bit different than the realities of Fort Kent, or Rumford, or Calais.

It would be nice if we could give different areas greater levels of autonomy, but with the way that government funding structures work, that is unlikely.

I find this take on Jobs fascinating because even though all your criticisms of Jobs are perhaps exaggerated in some respects they're all based in fact, but the conclusions you draw from them are outrageously false.

While all of those things were harmful and some even despicable I think evil is going way too far. A lot of people on the internet get frothing mad about this stuff, while the interviews I've read or seen with many of the actual people involved such as Woz, his daughter, ex-employees, etc put these issues in a much more forgiving and nuanced context. None of the people who actually worked with him or new him that I've seen had said he was evil, so excuse me if I don't take the word of random internet person on that.

>He was the dark side of capitalism

What the heck has any of that got to do with capitalism? Seriously. Would a Chinese or Russian Communist Steve Jobs have been a shining beacon of charity and humility? What does that even mean? Without capitalism he'd still have been a bit of an arse, but then we wouldn't have had GUI interfaces and modern smartphones until years later, and probably not as good ones either. We'd have had committee designed, party-approved People's Phones scheduled into a 5 year plan or something. But I don't really see how thats got to do with anything.

At our facility, we have an OpenStack-based private cloud that we worked with Sardina Systems to put in place. It is production and we have not had any problems with it.

We have also undergone upgrade from Mitaka to Newton with zero-downtime and completed within a day (I understand that zero-downtime upgrade is a capability specific to Sardina FishOS). We will be upgrading to Ocata in the coming months.

We have found that in cloud, it is critical to separate the Operator role vs Consumer role. OpenStack is primarily Operator-facing, who are in turn providing the capabilities to serve certain Consumers. OpenStack enables the Operator to flexibly provide virtualized compute environment requested by the Consumer, while the Consumer does not care how the compute environment is provided by the Operator. With this view, lots of things become clear. Granted, not everyone in the OpenStack world have this view, but we are sure glad that we do from the early on!

Our deployment is not the largest, but we aren't small either (several hundred hypervisors). We are an organization of several 10's of thousand people, though the user base at the moment is still in the hundreds.

A number of comments here mentioned that they had live migration problems. We have not had these problems. It worked from the very beginning for us.

Our view was that we would work with a vendor on OpenStack, rather than trying to string together the parts, in the same way that we don't string together the parts that make up a Linux distribution. FishOS makes it simple for us -- and that's before looking at operational tools in the product.

I have not been involved in the commercial terms, but my understanding is that commercially we have TCO that would be hard to match otherwise.

Notes Taking App with infinite boards(Beta testers needed)
This is a really interesting question - the main problem with identifying a single book is that while Java core syntax is relatively terse (you can for example check out Precisely Java for an example: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20110810052030/http://www.d...) the language delivers only through massive usage of the standard libraries.
And this really makes it a completely different beast from C - a gap that kept growing at each subsequent version of Java (you may notice that Java Precisely hasn't been updated after Java 5, btw).

Personally if I had to get back into Java today I would start by exploring Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Robert Sedgewick & Kevin Wayne.

>Reddit isn't a flat bazaar like twitter, it's a series of cathedrals.

You're mixing metaphors. This discussion is using plaza/warren as defined by GGP's linked block post:

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/10/27/warrens-plazas-and-the...

"A warren is a social environment where no participant can see beyond their little corner of a larger maze... A plaza is an environment where you can easily get to a global/big picture view of the whole thing. "

You cannot see any content you would like on facebook; hence it is a warren. You can look at almost any subreddit on Reddit, hence it is a plaza. By the blog post's definition.

Cathedral/bazaar is ESR's metaphor for [F]OSS software development happening either behind closed doors or in the open.

I posted a link to the story about how Office of Management and Budget under Trump is trying to clean up government but it didn't gain any traction. The link summarizes a link to the PDF from the OMB about how they are challenging every level of government.

Considering how much tax money the government takes in it is astounding to me they run such a deficit. Plus you must also account for all the taxes and spending at State, City, and Local, levels. All this money and how much is slipping through the cracks from helping people and keeping the infrastructure going

Basically it comes down to determining if their activities are non essential, if they flunk a cost benefit test, do they violate federalism, and more.

I'm well aware of that - I was referencing the open/closed concept behind the cathedral/bazaar dichotomy to point to the closed nature of most subreddits - the "warren/plaza" metaphor is pretty crap. Sure, they may be publicly visible, but they're closed in the sense of being a social in-group with norms that require acclimatisation. They're like old-school programmer forums - if you just jump in as a non-member and try to engage you may well be told to GTFO or lurk more.
This is what I'm currently working on, a much more sophisticated version of termbox.io, which I built last year to test the idea. Turns out that Docker has many pitfalls for this kind of thing, so I'm using LXD instead. Clustering is built on Consul and some custom code because the aim is to run on dedicated servers. I want it to be cheaper than DO/Linode, so EC2 is simply not an option.

When it's finished, it will let you launch machines in 5 seconds, with a choice of images for different purposes (like development, pentesting, offloading heavy computation etc).

My plan is to also open source most of it post-launch (it will require some additional efforts to extract specialized functionality). If anyone is interested in joining me, shoot me an email and we can talk.

None of the "scandals" so far matter. Those are just due to Silicon Valley political correctness nonsense.

That doesn't seem like there's a need to change the program. It seems like gov should just enforce the existing rules, or make position descriptions more precise. McD position != Chef. Real estate agents shouldn't be on the list if there's no shortage.

It is interesting to note two commonly repeated facts about academia, one of which you mention:

1. It is very difficult to get rid of aging professors with a low output.

2. It is fairly easy to get postdoc positions (but hard to get a permanent position).

In a way, you can argue that point 2 is a solution for point 1 -- with two postdoc positions (two years each, which is common at least in computer science) and a 4-5 year long PhD, you get 8-9 years of work from a candidate who is in his prime at the start and around say 30-32 years old at the end. After that, if you hired the candidate, you would only risk point 1, so why do that?

(I agree that it's incredibly mean to take 9 best years of a scientist while they work for a small wage, and then throw them away unless they are a genius. I think it's also important to keep in mind that while postdoc researchers face an extremely difficult challenge of getting a permanent position, they likely enjoy their academic work quite a bit. Postdoc/PhD are not exactly a "drain" in the same way a factory job might be.)

My problem with twitter is exactly the opposite. Each tweet might be brief, but there are _so many_ tweets to scroll through, multiple sources as they can repeat themselves or retweet. Then you add in _personal stuff_ that gets thrown in from these key players adding more noise.

I just don't have time nor willing to put in the "effort" to make twitter work. It is just not worth it to me to be on the cusp of breaking news vs being slightly behind with a curated reddit. Even better is making use of multiple focused multireddits like:

To me, that is true brevity in my goal of getting a glance at current events in my fields of interest.
