You might want to make that more clear in your documentation. Your current README doesn't mention Slate at all, I'd be much more inclined to go 'oh, this makes a lot of sense' if you were pitching 'Slate.js with the batteries included' instead of 'we built another WYSIWYG editor!'
Last time I checked, Qt was GPL/LGPL/Commercial. You can use the LGPL license just fine as long as you statically link the so/dll files.

I do understand not wanting to have to verify/check your obligations, of course. Still, Qt is a fantastic piece of software and a number of companies that I know of use the LGPL version just fine.

Readdle Adds Cross-App Drag and Drop Functionality to Own Apps on iPad
I built a digital bank for refugees that would allow them to set up a bank account, move their funds for safe keeping and also store documents securely. Authentication happened entirely through a 6 digit code and facial and voice recognition through use of video. The idea was that refugees or other displaced persons would be able to access their documents and funds through any device, so that they could easily establish their identity and life in a new country.

The other aspect was location verification. Working with NGOs, you could use this authentication method to let displaced persons login at certified locations. This solves two big issues:

1. Family member tracking. Red Cross and other organisations spend millions of dollars each year tracing where family members ended up. It is quite common for families to be split - reuniting them is a multi-year, labour intensive job. Solving that would do the world a whole lot of good.

2. Journey verification. When assessing refugee visa status, governments spend a lot of time trying to verify what journey a particular person took to get there to prove that they are legitimately a refugee. If a refugee could irrefutably prove their journey, then it would dramatically cut down on visa processing times.

We won that hackathon - I just wish I had time to develop it more. Tried to find who to talk to but the idea of using technology to solve the refugee crisis seems a little outlandish to traditional NGOs who (rightly so) place a lot of emphasis on food and shelter over apps.
It's very sad how most new programmers aren't even versed in any functional languages, or even know what they are. Everyone learns imperative because they're so much easier and intuitive initially. Well, that and... almost everyone in software development now uses some kind of imperative language, or some .js framework.

Granted, there still are big projects in Common Lisp today, Emacs still going strong, lots of travel websites are also in Lisp. But yeah, not much motivation for new programmers to learn that type of language.

Every person I've known to have their FB account deleted also happened to be people who posted inflammatory, toxic content on a daily basis. most of them also acted that way in PMs with people, but on an even more terrible level. Harassment level conversations, and probably a much larger scope than I was directly aware of.

I am not at all convinced that Facebook just deletes accounts for no reason. Sure, high-profile people get maliciously flagged sometimes, but I seriously doubt these randoms who get deleted are telling the entire story.

I think this looks great for CMS websites: where a user wishes to build an entire page in a web GUI.

For composing text in blocks on existing pages, like comments or posts, you would need a lighter-weight solution.

SlateJS (https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate) fits that purpose for me exceedingly well, more than DraftJS, Quill and others, since it doesn't treat XML/HTML as a second-class citizen.

The levels of complexity with text representation are:

Document -> Post -> Text

which corresponds roughly to the data sources:

JSON/Data Structure -> XML/HTML -> Plaintext / Markdown

Markdown can "upscale" to documents, but JSON data structures, by virtue of their complexity, do not "downscale" well at all to Markdown.

HTML is the simple middle for me: it shouldn't be used for documents, but it is totally intuitive for posts where a users simply wants to adjust the color of one's text. The blocks wrapping this text should own the data structure, e.g. a flag for "NSFW Content" shouldn't be in the text editor but an option on the post itself.
I think you hit the nail in the head. But it is going to be really hard to convince people otherwise.

> let's not forget that you "create" money when you use your credit card and "destroy" it when you pay your bill

Can you elaborate on that? My understanding is: when you swipe your credit card, Visa loans you money and pays it to the merchant. When you pay your bill, Visa gets money from your bank. How is that creation or destruction of money? Seems like value is conserved to me.

In my country you have to be an imminent danger to yourself or others. Even then the police might release you after questioning, because they might not recognize you are delusional or psychotic. In the case you do end up in psych ward, you are free to walk out unless the psychiatrist gets a court order. Also, every time they put someone in restraints, it has to be documented. The worst thing is meds like haldol, that make you a walking zombie, and are hard to recover from and can cause nasty side effects.
Decentralization at scale can result in a linear chain, too.
I wonder if there is a way to setup the system so that a corrupt doctor that has lost their way is still mainly incentivized to work for the interests of the patient.

Even in medical situations where patients do not face involuntary confinement, they are mostly left wondering if the doctors are working for them or working to bill them (I guess the outcome based payment schemes address this).
You're pushing yourself past any physical limits to achieve an incredible task. It's the same concept of why we're wowed by NFL players on Sunday and why we viewed lance armstrong as a "god" because of his biking ability.

This article and the referenced "study" are breathtaking in its idiocy and ignorance. As long as people continue to believe such disturbingly counterproductive narratives, the poor areas of Africa will remain poor.

That said, some of the fastest growing economies of the world are in Africa. And they didn't get that way by listening to people like this. There is a hope that more areas will follow their lead.

"Dr. Bruce Aylward, who directed WHO’s outbreak response, racked up nearly $400,000 in travel expenses during the Ebola crisis, sometimes flying by helicopter to visit clinics instead of traveling by jeep over muddy roads, according to internal trip reports he filed."

If he needs to visit more than one site per day, the jeep is provably not workable. The next article we're likely to see is one saying the WHO had dropped off equipment and then left the locals with no instructions or coordination for weeks.

True. Coincidentally, HR has some of the lowest-paid professional roles on the org chart. You get what you pay for.
The non-sherpa Summit percentage is about 50% since about 2000.

To your other point, you're of course correct. You can't exactly wake up one day and whip out your credit card. Controversy about the degree of assistance provided by some guided trips notwithstanding, it's still a very challenging endeavor. I'd be very surprised if just about anyone summited Everest without other significant climbs (even if not other 8,000 meter peaks) under their belt.
I've been a sysadmin, I've been a software engineer, and now they call what I do devops. My experience is that the title is useless in terms of identifying what people actually do or how companies actually use them.

Some places just rebrand administration as devops. Shiny new title for you, stakeholders can be told we're not missing the trendy new hotness, carry on.

Some places will pull in a "devops person" and drop them on the IT team. This seems to usually result in something between "Jenkins? The devops guy sites over there" and incremental improvements.

Better than that is the model where the "devops person" is something of a liaison as well as an individual contributor - they sit in engineering standups, collaborate on how things are going to be built with an eye towards deployment and manageability, and generally play both sides of the fence. This, however, requires a "devops person" who is also a bit of a politician, and that's not usually contemplated when hiring. It also requires engineering to let the person meaningfully take part, which can become even more political some places.

Best, in theory, is more of less of a merger, but that does ignore that IT is a very different beast than engineering, and that the workplace has been dealing with the distinction for a very long time. Changing that is not a technical issue, it is a (big) management and perception issue. If you get it wrong, the power balance gets wonky and causes the usual problems when you have managers who are IT-clueless managing IT people[1].

All that said, and putting aside org-chart and political issues, I like to think two things are true:

- That someone who has done both engineering and administration is more likely to spot friction, second-order effects, and various traps and dead ends than someone who hasn't.

- That treating the various "devopsy" things - deployment, integration, monitoring, etc. as first-class requirements alongside product features leads to better results along multiple dimensions.

So it reduces to people-problems. There just aren't many folks who have lived on both sides of the fence who also want to do this sort of role[2]. And if you adopt "devops" as a cost-savings measure, you're doomed up-front.

[1] You never see IT managers promoted over engineering, for obvious reasons. The reasons why the reverse happens are obvious to me in descriptive terms, but not in normative terms.

[2] Of course, keep in mind that I'm in this category. I don't write this as ego fluffing - I believe these things to be true - but here's my disclaimer.

Yes. Just like that, except in the format that QNAP, Synology, and other NAS machines use.

Isn't Sandstorm basically dead at this point? I seem to recall them announcing that the commercial side of the project had failed and they were going 100% Open Source.
Here's a thought: skilled devops engineers are indistinguishable from skilled software engineers, and vice versa.

Who can be specialized anymore? Isn't devops just the compression of skill sets that we've been witnessing for the last two decades?

As a developer, you now must be able to deploy, to write and maintain unit tests, and possess the knowledge to debug code deep on the system and network layer, and write code that follows up-to-date security practices.

Specialization is dying.
Thanks for the details? Is it a common procedure? Are they doing that to everyone coming to US?

Well how about the article in question? It doesn't say a month but the gist of the article is that profit is motivating at least one chain to make patients stay too long. Which is the essence of the point you are responding to.

My wife is an inpatient psychiatrist. She gets a monthly productivity report. Her pay is based on the productivity. In her system she gets more money on the day of admission than for subsequent days. This gives her an economic incentive to get patients out the door. She hasn't yet succumbed to the pressure to release them early but it's foolhardy to think that economic forces don't or can't play a role. There are lots of examples of doctors doing very bad things for profit.
Chess AI does not use brute force search. It evaluates board positions with heuristics (eg. pieces captured, blocked pawns, possibility of castling, etc.), and uses the estimated chance of winning to prune the search tree with techniques such as alpha-beta pruning[0].

Both board evaluation and tree pruning are more difficult in Go. In Chess, capturing material is very important, but capturing stones in Go is often useless because the stones are in a bad position ("dead"). You can't decide who's winning just by counting captures. It's very difficult to hand code a board evaluation function, but AlphaGo's neural network solved the problem.

However, the neural network alone, with no tree search, was only enough to reach strong amateur level. Unlike Chess, where moves usually have consequences in the near future, a move in Go can be important tens or even hundreds of moves later. Alpha-beta pruning doesn't handle very distant consequences well, but Monte Carlo tree search does much better. Combined with the neural network it was enough to beat humans.

it is definitely possible to have fairly deep level of knowledge at all layers it just takes effort.

That said, the larger the project, the more the need for specialization and the less possible it is for someone to keep up with all changes and be a domain expert.
Devops is less about knowing the syntax of something like Terraform and more about understanding, communicating, and implementing 'devops' best practices across an organization. The early phone screen should be an easy place to weed out people.

I do agree that devops is the hot new title so people are jumping on it to try and make more money.
> I'm not sure the answer here.

Has anyone started making lots (like tens of thousands) high-resolution, 3D, video (i.e., not still snapshots, but over time and ideally during episodic moments) MRI and CAT scans of diagnosed psychiatric patients, pointed a deep learning system at the scans, and see if patterns can be detected? If the deep learning systems can pick up patterns we didn't notice before, then that could be a valuable empirical tool to add.
The subset of doctors who expend probably significant time/effort getting on the governing board (or whatever it may be called) of the AMA, maybe have different opinions than doctors in general? (I've found this sometimes to be true of professional organizations/unions)
I built a chrome extension to help me with this addiction. It replaces the distracting parts of social networking sites (like Facebook's News Feed) with a todo app to keep me on task whenever I look to these sites to procrastinate.

The app unlocks the site for a configurable amount of time after I've completed my tasks.

Also supports Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, and Product Hunt.

It has helped me a lot with a. Recovering lost productivity and b. Feeling less addicted to these sites.

The article is confusing, the Atea-1 was for 2009 launch:

From my understanding, and what I can read from what they said:
They're suggesting Bitcoin is not practical for what the current average rate of transactions on other payment networks would require of it, should it even take on a lesser portion of those transactions (eg. X-thousand transactions per second).

It is useful however for a value store. Eg. You can't rightly trade units of gold 50,000 times per second, but it's a good bet that if you buy some and stow it that it will at least hold or even appreciate in value.

My experience is that even customers who are very enthusiastic about these new processes and methodologies quickly turn back to the old-school way of doing things once someone in upper management raises these bullets. And they weren't considered before because the customer Ops people were not invited to any discussions.

So in order to truly get the whole organization on board you do need to include your solutions to the above points in your evangelism.. and start really early.

I think the article is pointing out that a lot of money leaves Africa via, directly and indirectly, corruption and transfer pricing. Openly stating these facts isn't putting Africa down, it's highlighting a problem that needs to be fixed. OECD nations also suffer from these as well; corruption less so, but they also suffer from transfer pricing, this is why there is the push to reform taxation laws.

I once met a mural artist who told me a very memorable story of his peculiar time at the cuckoo's nest, how he got there and how he left. It was the 1960s-70s and all had been reasonably normal in his life, until his attendance at a certain party. Though he was untroubled in the company of recreational drug fiends, he didn't participate, at least not deliberately. However, someone had surreptitiously spiked the punchbowl with LSD. Being a gentle and kind sort of creature, he unwittingly embarked on a profound psychedelic odyssey. Still under the effects of the punch and yet unable to rationalize the situation, he called his sister for help, who persuaded him against his better judgment to check in to a psychiatric hospital. Shortly after, his state of mind returned to normal where he was able to assess the cause, but the talons of the ward took hold and would not let him go. They'd already begun to medicate him heavily with tranquilizers which clouded his mind and dulled his resolve. His pleas for understanding were ignored and he soon realized that he'd become a prisoner. In this situation his only assets were his art and good character. In a sanctioned stupor he devised a plan; he would begin "cheeking" his medicine in the presence of the nurses and spitting it out in their absence. He was permitted art supplies, the results of which quickly earned him respect among the staff. He'd use this to eventually obtain permission to paint outside in the courtyard, where he'd scan every possible vector for a way out. His fear had began to impel him after seeing inmates which were previously articulate and sociable become zombies after what he presumed were lobotomies. He suspected he was on the list for the same. Once he gained the trust of the staff, he finally sprang for freedom. He got it and never returned. He carried on with his art, remaining perfectly sane, innocuous and successful in his trade.
