I have been playing around with minikube for a couple of weeks, but the added ceremony of using Kubernetes isn't quite worth it yet for my pet projects, so it's mostly to keep up to date.
I don't think we have the resolution from the ages of 4000ppm to determine if the rate of CO2 change was comparable to now.

If you have any links to sources that show otherwise, that would be appreciated.

He that gaineth knowledge, gaineth grief, for in much knowledge, there is much un-happiness.

That is the curse of knowledge, the more you know, the less happy you are.

Today they say "You Can't Handle the Truth", now many schools are saying the 'truth' is just a tribal crutch.

It used to be simple pure Epistemology was factual truth such as "2+2=4", now somebody will tell you otherwise.

"An educated man is somebody that you can explain your philosophy too, and he will not punch you in the face".

I tried to teach my girlfriend programming once. She understood stuff that took me years in a few days.

When teaching, I remembered how hard concepts of variables and functions really are. It's really hard to explain it to someone.
Nice... reminds me of Mirah (formerly known as Duby). It's basically a compiled Ruby, but abandoned since some time. 5 years ago it used to be the fast alternative to JRuby on Google's App Engine. Together with the web framework Dubious :D

The only solution I can think of is to enact a set of laws that require and enforce science and evidence based legislation. However, this is such an affront to all the lobbying groups that even the suggestion of such laws will be aggressively attacked from every direction possible.
Great idea, just tested with two cities I'm familiar with (Montreal to Toronto) and it showed very interesting results. Well done!
As I commented on another thread, the whole stuff is taken (without any need) to extreme points, that is ideology, what the farmers want is much less than freedom to tinker with their machines, they simply want to:

1) have their machine run (to do some actual work)

2) be able to repair quickly their machines when they break(and at a reasonable price)

That's bullshit. Only if you've made a derivative work (e.g. by linking AGPL software into your software) you have to offer the derivative work under AGPL. You can perfectly well run an AGPL webserver and not be forced to put your operating system under AGPL.
You are definitely in the majority among .NET engineers. Like everything it seems like people get pigeonholed into certain families of tech after being in the field for a while. Microsoft is one of those families, and so is Java.

.NET community ain't terrible, but it's nothing compared to Python and Java. I have tried to convince my co-workers of this fruitlessly over the years but basically all of them are .NET for life. There's no point in arguing that another product is better if the person you're arguing with has never seen it.

I used to share the same opinion as you until a few years ago when I got bored of making the same old .NET CRUD "line of business" apps at work. I decided to do some cool open source stuff that I always enjoyed reading about.

At first I wanted to use .NET but I quickly abandoned it after playing with Linux on AWS and learning about Cassandra, React, rabbitmq, elastic search, and Postgres. I had never even touched all of these great things. At an MS shop it's "SQL Server, SQL Server, SQL Server" for anything with even the slightest resemblance to data storage. Web development is "Angular" or "MVC" with little variation.

I started writing some cool open source stuff and realized I would be alienating myself from most of my users if I made it in C#. So, I picked up Java and never went back, at least at home.

I'm the only developer at our company out of ~35 that prefers Java over C# and the only one that contributes to free software. I don't think that correlation is a coincidence.
I erased my comment because was not positive but here are my 2 cents...

The author comes out as a arrogant. Looks like he expects his team to be skilled but it's crystal-clear that he wouldn't follow a leader that is less skilled than he is.

My take is that if the author cannot explain what BigO is in 5 to 10 minutes and how to use it effectively, providing simple examples and leaving room for questions, he is absolutely NOT fit for the job - I don't think he understand what a team leader actually is.

I had 4 team leaders/CTOs so far, the first was extremely technical (probably the best, I've never came across another DevOps that was so well-rounded technically). The second was less so, but he was extremely well rounded in managing people. I came to appreciate his ability to express a concern or point mistakes I've made without insulting me in any way.

Being a leader is about taking technical decisions but first and foremost it is about teaching and managing ppl.
"Yeah, you got my question rightly and i have already gone through google support recommendation."

Do you mean you've already implemented all of the guidelines listed on that page (listed under 'News technical guidelines' and 'Additional News inclusion guidelines') as well as the linked 'webmaster quality guidelines'? And after implementing those, you applied for inclusion in the Publisher Center?

"I have seen some site which don't have sufficient no. of post as some blog suggest and they are in Google news."

The guidelines on the support page don't mention any minimum quantity of articles.

"Hardly 20 post been done, one month old site and they are in google news."

The guidelines on that page don't mention any minimum site age.

It's not clear from your post. Is your objective to get your own site listed, or to get these other small/new sites delisted?

Over the next few decades, over 4 billion people will certainly die, regardless of global warming. Whatever kills them, death isn't usually pleasant.

I don't see why death from climate change is worse than death by any other means.

Maybe you mean that we should minimise the number of deaths, which implies our ideal global population isn't much less than the current level. That's debatable.
Nutrition makes a lot of sense, when you consider just how much time the average person spends around food - you're generally reminded of nutrition three times a day.

It's a large aspect of health, money, and comfort (see: going to the toilet), and frankly there isn't very thorough consensus (it's been suggested that the food pyramid is biased by commercial interests of the time), and what's more, most people aren't cooking or paying for their own meals when they learn about it in school, so they don't remember it that well anyway.
I used to work in edtech and spying on students was seen as "normal". Schools are the main source of feature requests that allow them to see everything a student is doing or has done. Worse is most SIS are very insecure and full of sql injection issues. Not to mention that they use FTP and not SFTP to transfer data.

On top of the chromebook Google has the classroom project which also pulls all roster data from a school and stores it on their servers...

This isn't whilst a project is being built. It's after it's been built, in perpetuity, to constantly remind people that the thing in question was "paid for by the EU". The logos of the actual entities that paid for it, the countries, are not shown of course.

Just a heads up - on the learn bash the hard way section 1.6.2 you tell the user to enter csh but you never tell them to exit, so a beginner following your instructions would be doing the whole tutorial in csh, not bash.

> I strongly expect that the fishing communities (is fishermen actually an OK word to use these days?) actually know their own situation much better than either you or I do, and they're very clear on how the EU affects them.

Why? The things the GP wrote are not matters of opinion, they are facts. If people ignore them and vote against their own interests they are not "better informed".

The idea that most people are intelligent, well informed and vote in their own interest is nice. It's also incredibly naive and not supported by reality.
It may be also be used to refer to a ruse whereby a person is led to believe a plainly unbelievable fact for the purpose of ridicule of the subject, e.g. "Are you being serious?" "No, I'm just taking the piss."
Yes, we all know that democracy cannot possibly be wrong.
Give people more power.
It will be impossible for example to elect Adolf Hitler when the people have the ultimate power... or maybe he was legitimately elected by the majority of German people at the time?
It's kind of scary that people keep repeating their errors and have a blind faith in democracy or whatever form of government is popular.
I think they're similar in goal but quite different in implementation. AMP gives publishers a lot more control and apparently that shows up in ad revenue figures.
That is a bad analogy. You can start a family diner tomorrow and compete with McDonalds. There is nothing preventing that 80% to eat at your place.

However, you cannot start a social network tomorrow and expect to make a reasonable income. People will not join your network, because their friends are not there. Facebook holds a significant part of the world population hostage, because they cannot 'dine' somewhere else. Contrast this with a situation where social networks are federated. You could opt to go to a competing network because their service is better, without losing contacts to your friends.

I would not know if that qualifies as a monopoly legally, but there is clearly a huge difference between McDonalds and Facebook.

God's truth - the honest, God's truth, is that between a standing start with 0 experience and a senior programmer there is very little actual INFORMATION.

Everything else is teachers and documentation and compiler errors being stupid.

For example when starting with C++ who starts out with the importance of semicolons, how you have to not leave them off, find the missing semicolon, and have a teacher watch over you pointing out your missing semicolons? Nobody. You get a stupid abstract sentence : "statements are terminated by semicolons" after some bullshit definition of a statement. You can spend 90 minutes looking at definitions of the latter without acquiring a skill that the former could show in - not an exaggeration - 17 seconds.

17 seconds : 90 minutes is 1:317, so 3 years becomes 3 days of someone actually showing you.

You know it's true. You've seen it!

I've been using Vagrant successfully for several years, since shortly after it launched. It's dramatically improved the dev workflow for myself and my company.

The worst time I had with Vagrant was due to an authentication bug in v1.8.5. That was compounded by the previous release (1.8.4) being incompatible with the latest VirtualBox (5.1). Hashicorp was slow to release the fix, and we had to tell users to downgrade both tools. That sucked. This was late summer 2016.

It's been smooth since then, and I haven't had to think much about the VM aspect of our tooling in 6 months.

Those people dont want your billions. They want dignity, they want to work and feel like they accomplished something. They want the exact same life you got. They dont want handouts, they want to reverse what has happened, they want to undo what has been accomplished. And that is the dileman, that leads to a nice little dystopia- where the democracy is abandoned from above, because those below who got trampled, could undo the foam castles floating ontop. Lets vote on it, till exaustion, shall we?

Another alternative is to have realistic staging environment and proxy normal local process into it. Gives you local development and all the (runtime) dependencies you need.

Right there on the page:

"Goal

I want to build a language that focuses on developing microservices. Which should be performant and easy to write. This is why Rooby has Ruby's user friendly syntax and is written in Go."
The rise of the internet was a great chance at making the world speak a common language, whatever language that might be. Instead we decided to localize it to avoid making people feel uncomfortable.

Localization is such a pain in the ass. When you are abroad you always get the the wrong language and many business sites try to force you into using a specific domain that does not even support english. Try reading dell.com in Europe.

I see so many people using mac OS and windows localized to their own small language with a few million speakers, making it effectively impossible for them to get support online when googling instructions is impossible because menu items you have to click do not have the same descriptions in different languages.

What is even worse is that sites like youtube have started automatically translating video titles into whatever language it thinks I want. Even if the translations were correct, which they never are, why in the world would I want them to be translated?

Localization needs to die and it cannot go fast enough.
In the US the trailers the parent refers to are not used as "mobile homes" (for vacations etc, what the British would call "caravans" IIRC) but as permanent all-year-round homes, usually for poorer people.
Well, yes, I think we all got that point. It's just that Google's search bot may not. I'd be absolutely fine with something mechanically derived from "Jessie" (etc).
The crisis is that many people can't afford the housing that exists.

Much of the profit from the economy gets ploughed into land values, so land prices increase due to growth of the wider economy. So, much like owning company stock, you do nothing yet still profit from other people's effort, except with land, there's much less risk.

100% land tax was proposed by Henry George, and I'm surprised the article doesn't mention him. The idea is simply that land, natural resources etc, belong to all of us.

Consider a newborn child in a world where all the land is owned by other people.
They are essentially born a slave, having to work a substantial amount simply to pay rent to someone who does nothing but own land.
This proposal effectively acknowledges that we are all entitled to a share of the earth.

Of course any proposal that advocates "tax" or "government" is going to touch certain sensibilities, but rather than imagining an evil government sucking wealth from plucky individuals, consider it instead a big shared pool of cash, and every individual has a say in how (and how much) is collected and spent - which is what government ideally is.
This guy is both non-technical--which I correctly assumed, given that his essay was published in the HBR--as well as a former executive. His life experience is of little relevance to the average 40-something (or is it 30-something, now?) software engineer stifled by ageism.

One of the greatest (in the sarcastic meaning of the word) work of localisation is Excel translating function names. So =SUM() is =SUMME() in German. Luckily opening the file works in different languages.
I had expected more issues getting the official Nvidia drivers to work but all it took was a package install and a reboot.

>The AGPL only requires that you offer the source code to the "Corresponding Source"[1] of the AGPL licensed program

The entire definition of "corresponding source" in the AGPLv3 is identical to the language from the equivalent section of the GPLv3 (and it also includes the same "based on" language and section on aggregates) which is intended to apply to dynamically linked libraries, and it has been widely interpreted that way. If the software would be a single work as defined by the GPLv3 when distributed on a physical CD then it would be covered by the AGPLv3 when accessed over a network.

> the AGPL is not an "EULA" and doesn't apply to simply using software.

All GPL family licences are effectively EULAs because it's the GPL licence that grants the user permission to run the software, without that permission the user would be violating copyright by copying the program into RAM to execute it

>The only way Google's search software could be affected is if AGPL licensed code was added, which is why they have (with good reason) a policy to not do that.

The Google policy prohibits use or even installation. From the link:

>Do not attempt to check AGPL-licensed code into google3 or use it in a Google product in any way.

>Do not install AGPL-licensed programs on your workstation, Google-issued laptop, or Google-issued phone

As far as I know Google uses a single repository for nearly everything, which is why they are so keen to avoid AGPL code coming anywhere near it. Using AGPL code at Google necessitates "adding" it to the single huge google repo.
That link doesn't actually argue either way. It just presents some ideas with lots of "could be" and "under certain circumstances" and "proponents often counter" and so on. No sources.

It does provide one example. But the example has nothing to do with referendums, it's about people being asked to vote on the same sort of question repeatedly in a short period of time.

I would argue that the nature of a referendum is completely different to that of an election, so the behaviour may be completely different.

In the U.S. at least a free and independent press is paramount to our system of government. It's why it's in the Constitution. So, no, it is up to all of us to support journalism and ensure it survives, not only the actual people writing.
Why though? I understood the GP as 'use location for sane defaults' with an implied 'if there is nothing else to use'.

A website shouldn't ignore Accept-Language. But if I set up something for the first time AND it already knows something about my region/location: Sure, go ahead and use that to suggest sane defaults.

Note that the GP seems to agree that you should be able to change the settings yourself.

So, while I'm seriously pissed by the original language redirection/detection issue (German, everything is set to en, travelling quite a bit and spent a year in Israel: Thanks, Google, for a site in Hebrew), your 'NOT EVER' seems off. Whether I travel or sit at home, if I open - using the GP's example - GMaps for the first time on a brand new phone: Why shouldn't it default to the local units? I'd consider it a bug if it wouldn't do that.
Maybe there is a balance to be found. I think at the moment there is overwhelming interest in proper policy on environment and resources.

There are tons of restrictions like zoning, and nearly any environmental, industrial, safety, labour regulation that sit outside the economic context.

I guess his effect doesn't rely as much on the price difference but on the artificial market differentiation (whether the price is the same or not) for what is essentially a very similar product.
I don't know why either, but it seems almost impossible to do it by mistake? Which leaves doing it on purpose the more likely, but why he would do it on purpose is a mystery. As you say, it's bizarre.
