Their demo video is cringe-worthy. I understand that you're also marketing to non-technical folks, but it's like a film from grade school.
A increasing amount of Mono is .NET Core. The wonders of open source is that you can do the effort once and share it. Eventually there will be no Mono, only .NET Core.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? Since the beginning (pre-1.0) it's been possible to stand up a cluster on bare metal/VMs using a single command. This used to be done with the `kube-up.sh`[1] tool, which has been replaced with kubeadm in 1.6 [1].

If anything, I thought the fair complaint would be that there are too many ways to set up a cluster, and it's confusing to figure out which is the right one [2].

Of course, but can you do the same with Arabic in the same time span? I think not.

With Hangul, you can start writing your own name, lot of English words in Korean which is understood in Korea. Even Konglish (Phonetically typed Korean in English) is understood to a certain degree.

Anything beyond that, you will need to learn the Korean words, but it gets you a lot farther than most languages.

No I don't have scientific evidence to support this but from anecdotal experiences. Somebody wants to write a paper on it let me know, I'll give you 0.1 bitcoin.
Analog to Digital Data Conversion by an Indian State
This is nice. It'll be interesting to see how these official reports match up and/or differ in design or results with Steve Ballmer's new government spending tracking project[0] as they continue. For example, Ballmer's org reports that spending in 2014 was significantly larger then the number for 2016 reported on this site (5.2 trillion v. 3.85 trillion). It's also interesting to see the difference in how spending is labeled by constituional "mission" in the USAFacts site or function on the USASpending site. In any event we're better off having both of them.

I think he understood what people wanted and knew how to communicate that to his team and the market.
"And that’s why Microsoft software is so insecure, and why everything that prevails in the marketplace starts off by being insecure. People race to get that market position, and in the process they made it really easy for people to write software for their platform. They didn’t let boring things like access controls or proper cryptography get in the way."

If no one is using the internet or computers, then there's no point being sophisticated about its security and privacy. This unfortunately makes certain technologies like e-mail impossible to make truly private...and it's hard to get a few billion people to change their email protocol now, though not impossible. For example, https protocol was added and widely adopted for the internet.
There was an engineering director at one of my previous workplaces that was a little hard to reach. People though he was attending high level meetings including his reports. One of them called him once during work and he answered by the name of another company unintentionally. They spoke with HR and through some investigations found out the guy was coming to work and during the middle of the day going to his other job at a startup where he was the CTO. They fired him of course.
Most of "we should go for 100% coverage" is simply cargo-culting (pushed by "gurus" like Uncle Bob - the negative aspects of the word guru implied)

Not to mention 100% coverage is not guarantee the system works, in practice quite the opposite

Not to mention this BDD crap which only makes my blood boil, it's syntactic yuck disguised as syntactic sugar
Thank you for being a force for sanity in the universe. "Transpiler" is a distinction without a difference to add yet more jargon to our already cryptic profession.
Making music (also EDM) is really, really hard. Most people that try will fail, and Ableton knows that. They are just trying to sell their product here which is fair enough. But 'getting started making music' is like you only need their product, trigger some samples and you can be an artist too.

Try sit behind a drum kit for the first time, you think you can start making music? Most aspiring drummers need to practice for years before you can play a reasonable beat. Same with EDM, it takes many years of practice and improving all kinds of skills. This tutorial is just showing how you can trigger samples in a grid and how you can put this together in a DAW. For me that is not making music, sorry.

Btw, the resulting loops in the tutorial were not made by beginners, and listen to the result, is that music to you? Would you buy that? Another title that would be appropriate but not sell, could be: Get started making rubbish.
Did you miss the part about SS and Medicare are paid for on an ongoing basis? You really should keep those separate as they pay for themselves plus a (decreasing) surplus. The remaining items are paid for with other taxes, mostly individuals. With including income expenses are pointless. I have paid and am paying into SS and Medicare my whole life, call it an old dole is pretty inconsiderate.
Not this tweet specifically, look at the tweets he did in the past where he did point out the names such as LastPass and 1Password. It caused some folks to contact these vendors for more information where they don't have any yet at the time of the tweets.

Yeah, LINQPad is great! I use it for so many weird cases, everything from rather complex scraping with phantomjs to trying out things like regexs. I've saved small scripts that make it easier to get into new projects, such as making lists of files that have been changed the most and people who have the most commits etc.. Really recommend it for .NET devs.
Yesterday there was a discussion here about antidepressants. I was tempted to jump in and comment that: sometimes depression isn't clinical, it can also be situational, that I had tried SSRIs and gotten nowhere, and the only thing that cured my depression was dropping out of college and finally getting a real life started.

School is a nightmare. Mix in bullying, antipathetic adults who behave like prison guards, teenage hormones. I don't know what the solution is, but American high school is a failed experiment.

Bravo to this principle for bothering to eat the dogfood.

(I was in cozy suburban schooling, incidentally; it felt like a prison. Now I live around your kind of schools, and I don't understand how anyone survives them.)
How to keep passion from hugging your systems to death
There's a bit more subtlety there in that a lot of the SS growth is SS disability, which is in practice turning into a welfare system for the non elderly. But generally correct, yes.
I use e-mail client (Outlook) at work. Two reasons:

- it's very convenient for accounts you check only in one place

- it's infinitely more convenient than any browser-based interface besides GMail that I've seen so far

I'd be using a client for my personal mail too, if configuring Emacs to work with GMail wasn't such a pain.

Also, don't tell me that on your phone you check your e-mail through a browser!
Neat. Coupled with sources of revenue, this could be even better.

It'd better show that metro areas are carrying everyone else.
What advantage does this have over a session token/table? If you have to hit the db every time the JWT is referred to for an operation in order to prevent post-revocation activity, what advantage does the JWT provide?
I wrote this blog post because all the examples I found on the web seemed to be pretty much rehashes of the Amazon docs and didn't really go into configuring the environment in a secure way that you could use in production.
At the moment there is configuration option to only accept requests from a specific host.
This should help avoiding fake clicks.

They don't allocate objects on the stack, though; they merely store bindings (and, in Java's case, primitives).
Yes, you get it! That's exactly what this is. You sound exactly like me lol. I love higher order things and I've been chasing this "mirage" since I was like 12 but I never had the chops and time to really devote to this. Do you think that we could chat sometime? My email is my username at gmail.
It makes it look like CA receives more than its fair share of federal money, which then is used as justification for moving that to other states.
Why would that be hard? I thought law takes precedence over contracts.

Even having the equivalent of car MSRPs would be a huge improvement. As it stands today, you often cannot get any price for a procedure beforehand, not even a "forget about insurance, I'm just going to pull out a wad of benjamins and start counting until you tell me it's enough" price.

Plus, car prices don't vary that much from MSRP. I can look up a car's MSRP and know that this is approximately what I'll pay. If I get a really good deal I might get away with paying 10-20% less. If the car is in extremely high demand, I might have to pay 10-20% more. But I can get a pretty decent idea. Medical pricing often varies by a factor of ten depending on whether you have insurance, and which provider it is.
Insurance companies have a statute limit on profit margins and are required to refund excessive premiums. And prescription drugs constitute only 10% of medical bills http://www.chcf.org/~/media/MEDIA%20LIBRARY%20Files/PDF/PDF%...

In other words, even if all Rx drugs were made free, current total healthcare cost growth rates would eradicate those savings in less than 2 years.
I remember class being boring, but I didn't have these two hour long block classes that seem in vogue now. Well, I did in college and grad school, but you could skip class. Or during grad school it was common to just surf the web when you got truly bored.

After reading this I remembered sitting in some really boring high school classes boiling with almost rage at how boring it was. Sitting and looking at the clock. I wouldn't have remembered that without the help of the article.

I can easily see how a teacher would lose this prospective.
It does have a documented API. Maybe someone can hackup the data with more informative visualizations. hmm

Most of my salaried positions have been "at will" with no employment contract in place, so the only thing that corporate policy tells me in the employee manual is that I may be fired if they find out. But as an "at will", I could also be fired for any reason, or no reason at all.

As an "at will" employee, the one and only consequence I have to fear is being fired. There is no contract to breach. And in that situation, I would feel a lot more comfortable about going from two jobs to one than from one to zero. The incentive is overwhelmingly in favor of doing it and hiding the evidence, rather than not doing it at all.

If you do everything that is expected at both jobs, neither has any reason to investigate.

They used to. We have open or defacto standards for texts, chat, voip, and video calls. We had/have free and paid clients available. They withered on the vine, without support from the big players.
according to USAfacts.org-

social security: 15.8% of tax spending

That's half of all Gov spending right there
If you want to address concentrated wealth address the tax system and real crony capitalism (not the fake kind that is used to slur Buffett). Eliminate patents, tariffs, tax businesses that receive government subsidies, etc.

Competition is the best bar to too much competition.
This stuff seems to me to be inherent to institutionalized education. When you have an instituion with lots of kids to teach, what option is there but to have them all sit down all day and be passive. Also dealing with lots of kids and their misbehavior and having to get through a lesson plan at the same time would make adults feel like they have to be strict and direct "shh" towards the kids. When this organization is being run by the same organization that runs the DMV it's only natural to expect more extreme negative behaviors like sarcasm and snark and probably even more negative things that happen when there isn't a shadow teacher following.

In my mind home school seems like the the only real solution to these ills.
Yeah, it would be better with coloring. Or better yet hyperlinking to the relevant Wikipedia pages / papers / memes.

Edit: pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotency_of_entailment, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonicity_of_entailment, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_rule, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_guy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_logic, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_logic, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_logic (not sure why "Proper Support" is capitalized, that seems to have no referent)

Hyperlinks allow you to directly look up a term by clicking on it, i.e. are actually useful, whereas trademark symbols are just visual noise. Although of course it is possible to over-link as well, see e.g. the wiktionary FAQ on "wikifying": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Help:FAQ#Wikifying, in practice this doesn't seem to happen; it's more the reverse problem of not putting in enough links.

Faster Rails: Is Your Database Properly Indexed?
It depends on the situation but I agree with the better name for this, coordinated disclosure.

If the vendor refuses to do anything, then yes, the 90 days should be waived.

I'm not saying we shouldn't disclose at all, I'm saying the vendors have the right to have the info first and react before the said announcements start.
State politics are often little more than a reaction to national politics crossed with support for moneyed interests like car dealerships and some grandstanding/boot-licking race-to the bottom job policies. National politics really sets the tone, context, and priorities people are aware of, especially so in an era when most reporting and commentary is national in scope and local information is often via word of mouth and social media.

I do think it's true that in many rural-dominant states you can't blame a state-level urban elite, and that's not really what I intended to suggest in my comment (though I do think in "blue" states there very much is such a dynamic, witness Jefferson, rural sheriffs flatly stating they won't enforce various state laws, etc.). Frankly, I don't think blaming an urban elite at a national level makes sense either, as I don't believe what I referred to is at all intentional.

That said, I think the examples you list of things subsidized may also be examples of things that are likewise slightly misplaced priorities in terms of the larger picture. For example, I'd imagine (though I don't specifically know that) agriculture subsidies mostly go to large enterprise farming operations and have little trickle-down effect to many every-day rural people. Likewise, subsidizing rural infrastructure seems like it may be necessary regardless of any significant benefit, though it's once again highly speculative on my part (for example, I'd guess fire-fighting services require significant external subsidies in some areas, but also don't have tremendous effect on the day-to-day life experiences of average "locals").

My previous statement is also why I think the election of Trump may be an important milestone in solving some of their problems: namely I think (hope) he may be a gateway to the realization in certain quarters that what were presumed to be their problems and solutions actually aren't, leading to a significantly reformulated and broadly unified national consensus. (Yeah, probably a pipe dream...)

Create a vision, get the team to buy into it. Convince senior managers to buy in. Present and execute a plan to fulfill the vision. Be the change you want to see.

Edit: I can see that I need to explain in more depth. Too many technically-oriented folks take the cultural and political landscape of a company as a given. It is not. You can change it. Even as a relatively junior employee, your attitude, communications and actions can have a meaningful impact on your team and the larger group. Your choices are not simply to A) accept what is or B) jump ship. There is a third option -- try to change things. I'm not saying it's easy, it's not. It is in fact, often very challenging. But, if you're not in a management position, it's also great practice to acquire and hone your leadership skills.

The exact tactics will vary highly depending on the situation, personalities and culture. Sadly, IMO, there is no recipe for success. Moreover, it's quite likely that your contributions will not be recognized. But even if you move the needle a little, you will have gained valuable soft skills and made everyone's life a little better.
A DAW, or Digital Audio Workstation, is to building music what Final Cut Pro is to building video, or what Eclipse is to developing software. Most DAWs consist of multiple tracks which hold multiple audio clips, each of which are scheduled to play at a certain time. You build a song out of these clips, which you have loaded into the DAW. You can also add various effects to the clips and manipulate them. You can store abstract music event data ("play note A here at this time, then play note B Flat at this time") in additional tracks. This data has no sound associated with it, but like a piano player roll, you can set it up to play notes in some instrument, either an internal software instrument provided by the DAW or a third party, or emitted via MIDI to a remote hardware music synthesizer.

DAWs are used to produce the huge majority of music you hear in the media, from commercials to hip hop songs. Even seemingly real orchestral pieces for movies are often composed entirely using artificial instruments. For example, here is Junkie XL showing how he composed themes for Mad Max Fury Road.

Why not sell a display that will work with it wirelessly? It would basically be the iPad with WiFi but no touch screen, no camera, maybe even no battery (always plugged-in), and a stripped down iOS with limited CPU/RAM/storage. You talk to the AppleTV box, the display lights up and shows you what you asked for. Add a microphone to the display so it can hear where you are and display you the results in your kitchen display, bedroom display or wherever.

And add a feature to listen to commands like "Show me X on my phone" or "Send this to my phone" and it will display whatever you just asked for on your iPhone. Or even "Send this to [contact name]".
> There is no such thing as will power.

There is, but most people don't understand how it works. According to recent neurological studies, it's a lot like a muscle. In the long term, you exercise it and it gets stronger. In the short term - and this is the important part - it can become depleted. If your work requires a lot of will power (including focus, discipline, initiative) then you'll have little left for other parts of your life.

This is really what I think a lot of people mean when they say they come home tired. They're not physically tired, they're not low on energy, but they are low on will. Therefore they tend to settle for the easy or familiar, such as watching Netflix instead of exercising or eating junk instead of cooking real food. I can often feel the pull myself, but the fact that I understand and recognize what's happening helps me resist/manage it.
.NET Core 2.0 should run most libraries from every verson of the .NET Framework 1.0 to 4.6.1 (and potentially higher), with very few exceptions (albeit in some cases literally exceptions). (That's all the work that has gone into defining the .NET Standard 2.0 API.)
Writing additional "session" information without explicitly asking for user consent often leads to threatening user's privacy.

Doesn't work well. I personally like GMail-style conversations, but I couldn't use that plugin.
Yes, it is a shame. But: I will add it, along with Windows support.

Indeed, I'll go further. I'm really starting to believe that the only way not to get royally screwed as an app developer is by abandoning the "major" platforms -- which all want to turn you into a serf -- and target OSS platforms like Linux. I'm honestly tiring of dealing with the artificial roadblocks Apple (and Microsoft is no better) throw at me to further their own ends. I actually analysed SteamOS with this intent, but sadly it looks like SteamOS is geared towards the "living room" experience.

Anyway, long story short: there will be Linux support in 2018.

Friendly challenge (because I agree with you, but constantly run into limitations):

I loop over strings a lot. Can I fit them into a nice recursive structure without runtime overhead?

Bonus round: My loops over strings often aren't straight-forward one-byte-at-a-time iterations. Sometimes my loops look at 8 or even 16 bytes in a single iteration. How does that fit in with more sophisticated types like you're describing?
