This of a beautiful garden when many spots: open sun or shady, in a glasshouse or in an airconned glass covered veranda. And "office workers" just find themselves a spot!

Besides that I also thing standing desks are a must. This is the least you can do to mitigate early death by desk-job. On top of that I think that under desk treadmills are another huge step forward. And a spot where you can do a few stretching exercises (with a pull-bar) is also not a luxury in my opinion.
Yeah, lots of this article didn't make any sense. Especially with regards to Kubernetes.

Most of this seems like reluctance of new Google or "Beta" technology.

I tried my hand at Docker Compose, then Docker Swarm as "native" Docker solutions for quickly deploying scalable WordPress LEMP stacks. I would completely agree that neither of those are mature for this type of implementation, especially when it comes to persistent storage.

Kubernetes, on the other hand, is another story. As long as you stick to using Docker strictly for building your container images, then Kube literally takes care of everything else. And this is all coming from a strictly ops perspective.

EDIT: I would also note that Kubernetes docs are probably the best I've seen. They may be complicated, yes, so up your reading/comprehension skills and quit wining :)

Thank you for this insight!

I mean competitive in a broader sense. I.e. do your tech skills make your business more competitive?

Electron is an interesting example. If you are smart, you can use it to deploy your application to desktop, as well as the web. Meaning you don't have to have 4 separate teams for Windows, Mac, Linux, Web. Being productive with Electron is therefore a competitive skill in my opinion.

I often have to argue with older engineers. There are a lot of prejudice against current technologies, like for example Node: "JavaScript is a dumb language", "it's not real programming", etc. I am exagerating, of course, but the attitudes are still there. So I am trying to build a compelling case for learning and developing.

For me the problem that this article describes, people using the OWASP Top 10 as a checklist, isn't that checklists are innately a bad idea, but that the OWASP Top 10 isn't meant to be a checklist.

The Top 10 is a document designed to raise awareness of various web application security issues. Unfortunately it's a victim of its own success. People saw a defined list and jumped to the incorrect conclusion that this was a definitive list of the things you should look at to have a "secure" web application.

Unfortunately it's now become embedded in various places such that any attempt to change it causes lots of problems as people who are using it in ways it wasn't intended to be used get annoyed that if changed, it will no longer work for them.

On the more general point of checklists and security, I actually like them as a means of providing a common baseline of security in various arenas. The important part is realising that a checklist is generally a starting point and not the "be all and end all" of any effort.

Here in Netherlands, before Facebook, we had a social network called Hyves. One of the reasons it failed is because of the disassociated graph, like you mentioned. You start out with all of your friends from high school, but once you start to grow.. the distance between you and them growths. That is why people started moving to Facebook, because all their cool friends where there.

I guess the only reason why Facebook is still surviving is because everyone is on there, you do not want to lose certain friends. They have conquered the market.

This isn't the first time we've heard first-hand accounts of massive companies treating workers like slaves. Amazon is already notorious for the ways it treats its warehouse workers. Once again, upward concentration of wealth in our country has created pressure on the people at the bottom to produce more, more, more. If you don't see the parallels to the time period leading up to the massive workers' rights reforms of the Progressive era - you aren't looking very hard. We seem to have have already forgotten the lessons we learned just a century or so ago.
An open plan office, starting with 50 desks, can grow to 75 or even 100, by gradually increasing desk density.

You cannot evict ppl from floors you own on the spot. Growth is hard to predict.

Hence the dream office will stay a dream unless you are working for a no-growth company doing the same things all the time.

Maybe tax cuts to corporations would help. If a company that was previously keeping 65% of profits started keeping 85% due to lower taxes perhaps they would invest some of that in employee pay / benefits / more employees. Of course, they also have the choice to just keep the extra money for themselves.

CA grant is such a weird premise as you essentially need to be in a position where you've done the R&D (i.e. spent all the cash) but don't have enough sales yet.

Having applied for $150k for another STEM related grant in NSW with a very strong application in hindsight I would rather have spent the time and effort focusing on the core business.

If you consider grants and applications as an expected value calculation (grant size * % chance of award * implications of being awarded) a business is often doing themselves a disservice by applying.
I feel that it's because of the initial hype. You get more eyes on the problem, which generally creates more interest as people publish their results.
As much of the results (that get reported) are in computer vision that generates more interest from the less technical, and you get that critical mass where projects like Twitter and Facebook start growing simply because it's being talked about so much.

it's actually very much in the same ball-park. The sheer fact that many liberals believe that a sizeable portion of Trump's supporters are fascists, or that he himself is a fascist, is proof of this.

Quite related, but if you want to use Redis as a SQL database I wrote an extension to do just that: https://github.com/RedBeardLab/rediSQL

It is a relative thin layer of rust code between the Redis module interface and SQLite.

At the moment you can simply execute statements but any suggestion and feature request is very welcome.

Yes, it is possible to do join, to use the LIKE operator and pretty much everything that SQLite gives you.

It is a multi-thread module, which means that it does NOT block the main redis thread and perform quite well.
On my machine I achieved 50.000 inserts per seconds for the in memory database.

If you have any question feel free to ask here or to open issues and pull request in the main repo.

Surely the amount of disagreement on this makes it clear that it's not a 'near certainty'? Furthermore, an issue such as 'the election of a US President' strikes me as so inherently complex that we can say very little with near certainty.

Sorry to interject - but that's not completely true. Go comes with a separate patent disclaimer.

https://golang.org/PATENTS

And IMHO nodejs is not a standard BSD license and comes with patent grant. That discussion went on for a year in the TSC . https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/LICENSE

In general, this stuff is not always evident. But the BSD license by itself is not as good as Apache.

While in doubt, use Apache !

DHL is doing the same with their workers in Germany (so it's not because Germany has more loose regulations on their workers, I think they are even more strict in maximum hours work time in comparison even to USA). The problem is that this big logistic companies like DHL and Amazon trying to max. their profit and min. their losses without any ethics and with pressure from competitors on the shoulders of their most important employees. Logistic is going mad and it should be better regulated world wide. A lot of people in logistics and postal service are frustrated because of this online trade trend nowadays.

> Write Fast Apps Using Async Python

When working with Python and Ruby I find 80ms responses acceptable. In very optimized situations (no framework) this can do down to 20ms.

Now I've used some Haskell, OCaml and Go and I have learned that they can typically respond in <5ms. And that having a framework in place barely increases the response times.

In both cases this includes querying the db several times (db queries usually take less then a millisecond, Redis shall be quite similar to the extend that it does not change outcome).

<5ms makes it possible to not worry about caching (and thus cache invalidation) for a much longer time.

I've come to the conclusion that --considering other languages-- speed is not to be found in Python and Ruby.

Apart from the speed story there's also resource consumption, and in that game it is only compiled languages that truly compete.

Last point: give the point I make above and that nowadays "the web is the UI", I believe that languages for hi-perf application development should: compile to native and compile to JS. Candidates: OCaml/Reason (BuckleScript), Haskell (GHCJS), PureScript (ps-native), [please add if I forgot any]

> one reason they liked old things in the Renaissance was because there was a point of view that the prior ~1,000 years, since the fall of Rome, was a waste intellectually, and that the way forward was to revive the Roman and Greek knowledge

Just to be clear, they were fond of old things not just merely because those were "old" and then back in fashion (like, oh those old things are hip, yay!), but because those old folks tried to reason about Nature (in the largest sense, including cosmos, mankind, metaphysics and politics) from first principles instead of sacred tomes brought upon us from heaven (and proceeding with silencing anyone who didn't agree with said tomes).
Company Propaganda writers unionize. Do no longer produce lengthy treaties about how unions destroy companys and are bad for workers, in a infinite race to the bottom against your fellow sellouts.

Raise your flag, and together future flags may not be raised, for cheap!

All clear, yes except for 'uidaut' and 'łud' -- is the latter "would"?
Sure it can. The problem is to validate that e.g. the net really knows geometry, and not that it is just working for problems similar to the ones in the training. Unless the training can be validated, i.e. formally proven that after some specific training the net "knows" covering all the cases, you'll have to complement neural nets with classic computer vision, no matter how good you think your model is.

I think the higher level goals are pretty much aligned with those of kubernetes. That it uses 'containers' to achieve this, is just a side effect.

And it's surprising flexible! You don't need any overlay networking, you can just define a IP range and it will 'just work' as long as your nodes are in the same ethernet segment. If you grow to more than, let say, 500-1000 pods, you need some routing but still can do without overlay networks.

I'm currently working on a project where I use the kubelet standalone. I can give it a pod manifest and it will make sure the specified containers are running. This doesn't need any cluster components or data stores and is already useful for tiny use cases. Also using this now for my tests instead of docker-compose.

Your perspective can't be dismissed.

From my perspective, to put my anecdotal experience beside yours, I know many very stable, very loving, very intelligent people who use LSD occasionally. These people generally don't talk about it, or haphazardly recommend it to others. But they do enjoy the experience of altered consciousness, and the experience of experimenting with new thoughts and perspective.

If it is a damaging drug, as you claim, then these people emerge from their trips strengthened from the harm. If it has irrevocably altered their personalities, then it has done so to their benefit.

LSD, like other drugs, is a way to play. There are those who take it too seriously - this crowd are as ridiculous to outsiders as the whisky, coffee, or marijuana enthusiast. But for most, it is simply a safe and reasonable way to spend a day in leisure.

Particularly ironic inversion since DHL was formed as a US company to fly bills of lading between San Francisco and Honolulu. Initially they used spare capacity in air passengers' baggage so that the bills would arrive ahead of the actual cargo on ships.

Eventually moved upstream into moving the cargo itself.

>pilot unions work only for very senior pilots

Then bargain for different terms and conditions for junior pilots? There is no "one" way that unions work.
During back-to-back flights of 23 hours, are the pilots able to sleep for any significant amount of time?

How often are they asked to take the marathon flights?

More details would be helpful...it's not clear if this is a new norm from the article.

What's the Rust IDE story looking like these days? For a language like Rust (or almost any language really) the best way I've generally found to learn them is to get a good auto-completing IDE which solves for "what's the standard library and what can I do?" and let's me focus on getting the syntax and design methodology right.

Till now Rust hasn't had that. Is there a decent stack?
