As with any trendy technology or architecture approach, you should first be asking "What problem are we trying to solve?"

That's where the discussion should start. Better yet if that is a business problem, then dive into technical solutions. Many times technologists take a new (but not really) silver bullet and try to fit it in somewhere without understanding if it solves a problem or not.

It also seems like we like to reskin solutions with new names and the industry picks up on this, starts their marketing engines and the guys in suits come around trying to sell the new silver bullet.
So the measles vaccine (like MMR) is a live virus vaccine. Does this mean that MMR wipes the memory of previous vaccinations? Does giving MMR in a child's second year erase, say, the accellular pertussis immunity attained via DTaP in the first year?
I've been toying with project-management features in various contexts for years, and I'm actually working on something that would solve this problem, as it also manages application state within a context.

I have a functional prototype I'm planning to share as soon as I've polished up the UI.
My question however is whether said people would be technically capable of getting it running. I mean, it's simple for those with experience in running a server or unmanaged VPS, who know how to run Python scripts and setup Docker or what not. But the average person in many of these small organisations (even the tech team) is probably confused by a simple WordPress install or even the process of uploading files to a web hosting account.

I feel these solutions seem like they should be aimed at the people and groups you mention, but end up seeming like they're designed for tech geeks and programmers. They need to be made to work on cheaper hosting accounts and installable by someone whose experience with 'tech' is clicking buttons in a user interface.
I'm good at writing code, developing libraries, architecture, etc. I'm not very good at operations - mostly because I don't enjoy it and haven't spent much time applying it.

Not everyone is the pitcher, the catcher, the first baseman, etc. We specialize because that's how humans work best together. Everyone should not need to know how to do everything.

Developers must work with operations - of course. The way and the what developers build must be able to be deployed in an agile manner. But, that does not mean that developers must become operations engineers as well. Leave that to the specialists in that role.
...salary back to the college after graduation. The college website will have a page about the student, including a handwritten commitment and short video of the student explaining why he/she is grateful to college and supports its mission. After graduation the student will feel the need to live up to this public commitment.

3. Liking and wanting to be liked - Each graduate will be asked to act as a mentor to two freshman students. This will take the form of a two-hour Skype call each week to help with coursework, answer questions and offer encouragement. This develops a personal bond between the graduate and the freshman students. If the graduate stops financially supporting the college then the two students he/she has been mentoring may not be able to continue at the college.

4. Expectations of friends and family - Imagine that a graduate's mother has a friend whose daughter is 12 years old. If the graduate continues to pay money to the college then the girl will have an increased chance of being admitted to the college when she reaches 18 years of age. If the graduate stops supporting the college then the girl will lose that advantage: the graduate's mother and her friend will be disappointed.

5. Social proof - If a graduate's former classmates all pay 20% of their salary to the college, the graduate will see this as natural and follow their example. The graduate will also not want to be seen by former classmates as 'leting the team down'.

6. Liking and wanting to be liked - A small percentage of the money paid by the graduate to the college will go to the pension fund of the graduate's former teachers. The graduate will like and want to be liked by the teachers - this will act as incentive to continue financially supporting the college.

7. Labelling and identity - From time to time the college will send little gifts like pens, sweaters, t-shirts, calendars, phone covers, etc. to the graduate. Using and wearing these items will strengthen the graduate's pride and support for the college.

On their own, each of these psychological factors may not be enough to overcome the student’s self-interest. But together, I think they will provide a powerful incentive for the student to financially support the college for the full 15 years after graduation.

What are your thoughts on this idea? Will it work?
You're making the strange assumption that the federal government will always be be more in line with your own political views than your state government. After all, at the end of the day a hard-right state is less bad for liberals than a hard-right country, because only in the first case can they try to find a job in California.
It was a comment for Americans who might not know the signs; not really an argument.

But really, if you're driving then you should have done a driving exam and test in your home country. Then you're ready to drive from Romania to Ireland (with the help of some tunnels and ferries) and be able to manage reading the road signs the whole way. This is possible because of a (mostly) shared iconography. Of course, on a bike you don't need to pass a test but you should do a little bit of studying to make sure you don't get a fine.

The US doesn't need this because it uses English.

This is also completely distinct from keyboards which aren't even QWERTY across Europe. There are also AZERTY (France) and QWERTZ (Germany) and some countries like Belgium have all three in the same office as people have different preferences. And pair programming is as painful as you can imagine.
I also love i3wm but there are a few tiling window managers available on macOS [0] [1]. Not as easy to use as i3 last time I tried them however that was a while ago and they definitely deserve another shot.

> In 2017, there's literally _no_ difference between the outcomes expected from a "Systems Engineer" and a "DevOps Engineer"

I don't find the title 'Systems Engineer' to be in widespread usage at tech startups in SV, so I'm not sure what to expect from one. To be honest, I would expect Systems Engineers to be working on hardware.

The infrastructure automation work done at modern tech startups is best described by the title 'DevOps Engineering'. If you're posting a job where the requirements include using automation code to set up and configure CI/CD, monitoring, alerting, Databases, Analytics, AWS, GCE, Heroku or other 3rd-party SAAS tools, the job title in widespread usage that encompasses that is DevOps. The Webmaster, Ops, DBA, SRE, IT, Systems Engineer, and SysAdmin titles describe different skillsets and are therefore less useful for describing a role with these kinds of requirements.

Here's an AWS-specific, but otherwise useful reference of a modern 'DevOps' skillset: https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-devops-engine...
A most excellent article.

I was based in the Kathmandu AP office for over two years. Every week during climbing season I heard of the fatalities on the mountain. I understand why people attempt it, the varying reasons are immense from personal lifetime goals to fundraising to pure ego.

Many attempt it on the cheap with poor training and physical fitness. Remember that altitude sickness and frostbite is a great leveler of people regardless of your race, financial status or intelligence. It can strike anyone at anytime.

Say goodbye to your loved ones and ensure your estate is in order before you do this trek, there is a huge chance that you might never see your family ever again.

By the way, I'm heading to base camp in two years and have an apartment that I rent out in Patan if anyone is coming for a short trip over. Though the startup scene is small in Kathmandu, we exist...

We all believe it's important to save lives.

If it costs $300k to save one life, but in other disciplines or other areas of medicine you can save a life for $5k, then you have a problem that is not solved by simply ignoring money.

There is a middle way here. Currently-active fields in philosophy sometimes (usually?) lack bounded questions and precise answers, yet are not silly (ethics, for example.)

I don't think philosophy is about finding answers, the discussion itself is its purpose. Consequently, there is always the risk of generating closed, self-referential discussions in which the subject of the discourse is the discourse itself (post-structuralism vs. structuralism?) It also seems to be an accepted practice to hang an elaborate argument on nothing more than a personal opinion, as if doing so turned that opinion into an objective fact (I am thinking specifically of some of the arguments over consciousness.) For these reasons, I think you have to pick and choose from the offerings of philosophy if your goal is to teach general thinking skills.
This is classic Minsky ponzi finance. I wait to see revelations of fraud and corruption that have been hidden too.
What about revolutionary Catalonia? Besides that, I think it's disingenuous to claim that it is a problem with the Communist idea; Marxism is a method of analysis, and that analysis can be applied to itself to find out what the problems were, and what is necessary to move past them.

It's also worth noting that almost all the states you are referring to as monarchies or oligarchies are founded on the principle of Marxism-Leninism. Perhaps this isn't the best way. Left-Communists agree with that idea. Or perhaps anarcho-Communism is a better idea.

There are many schools of thought within Communism. It's unwise to dismiss it, in my opinion.
A Somalilander here, Somaliland has a fully established government which is elected by popular vote. In fact, it has one of the most sophisticated and modern voter registration system which uses bio-metric data to detect double voters. Something a number of other African or even first world (i.e. US/EU) can't guarantee.

Somaliland is extremely safe, you can go about your daily life without a hint of any problem. You can walk down the street in the middle of the night without worrying for your safety.

Keeping peace is everyone's business, citizens take ownership of it.

Aside from that, it is a very poor country, but everyone is happy with what little they have.
More than 5 minutes a day thought on clothing and what others wear show that one has idle time to spare- and can not use that for something really productive.

My email address is `first.l@gmail.com`, with my first name (common) and last initial. I receive a lot of erroneous signup emails. There's nothing wrong with sending a single email, so my usual course of action is to delete them. However, I expect sites to send no more than a single email to unverified addresses. If I receive subsequent messages from the same site, I mark them as spam. Gmail usually takes care of unsubscribing for me.
You misunderstood: the phrase would be more accurately stated as "don't use code to solve internal process problems that are driven by corporate politics".

For example: when a bank's retail locations are using different lending criteria than the corporate call center, there's no amount of code that will solve the turf war between corporate and retail.
Just off the top of my head, reversing a synthesis reaction seems expensive without knowing any reaction intermediates. Not to mention that the lawsuit you would get handed would be a slam dunk case for any lawyer.

That being said, other companies in countries that don't honor patents definitely do this very thing for chemotherapies and the like.

and, if you are going to bring in a person or persons to be that 'Devops specialist' and help your devops transformation, don't bother if you aren't going to empower them to facilitate real changes, or if you are going to put them in their own little silo and leave them to get on with just automating some manual stuff - that way you will have some automation that may or may not do what you want, but you won't achieve real transformation and reap the benefits thereof.
When I used KDevelop last, QtCreator's code model was much better. It even handles `auto` pretty well these days. And QtCreator can now use Clang for the code model so it should be very good.

Admittedly I last used KDevelop a long time ago, but has it really improved much faster than QtCreator? Can it autocomplete `auto` variables?

Unfortunately, "Cultural Engineer" as a title has some pretty scary implications. So the DevOps Engineer is becoming a cultural engineer of the company with a better name.

I just don't buy that. Despite being less popular in academia there is absolutely an abundance of politically motivated libertarian/austrian/chicago school blogs, videos and books out there. Many intelligent young people fall down this rabbit hole early and never try to get out. Econ 101 books are only going to solidify their belief that they know economics. Something that challenges the simplified view of economics, that asks when the assumptions of some of these models ever actually apply, about what happens when you start dropping assumptions, about frictions and so on is what's needed. I looked around a bit to find the best article I could from my perspective, maybe you could read it and tell me what you think?

I am happy for you, hope this grows!

However, may I suggest you add to description on GitHub page some more info? Performance is only a part of equation and description only talks about that. Did you give any thought to reliability and robustness? How about security? It is written in C++ - was it fuzzed? Does it support TLS? Authentication?

These are much more important questions (to me) at this time (disclosure: using Mosquitto and happy with it, didn't hit bottlenecks yet). I have no doubt you will address them sooner or later, but it might be good to start working on some of them as soon as possible - or, if you already have this covered, to write about it.

Of course, I might not be your target customer, at least at this stage, in which case please disregard this advice. :)

Creating universal healthcare with Thomas Bukowski
Yes, that's why I said it's a tooling problem. But not everyone has log aggregators set up (or set up in a sane/totally adequate way), and even with log aggregators, it takes a little more care to make sure you're exposing the right information and exposing it in a way where it's easy to trace the important stuff that's happening chronologically.

I'm not saying that it's an unsolvable, or even unusually difficult problem, I'm just saying that it's very possible to do wrong. If an organization can fill a monolith with tech debt, they can probably find a way to do the same with microservices.

Not gonna stop now, they just have the money to buy market share. If people had jumped ship after the Insta acquire then it could have been a blow to them wasting all that money on a dead space but nah people still kept using it and fell for it because they didn't change things right away and now Instagram is a mess of ads and stolen features and the creepy data sharing from FB is oozing in through friend "suggestions".
Pettis's recent articles show he's more optimistic than Moody's in the short term, and more pessimistic than the new optimism driven by a Morgan Stanley bluepaper, "Why We Are Bullish on China."

Web-To- Print Solution – Brush Your Ideas
VERY COOL!

Questions/comments:

"Make Firefox get along with Google Maps (check this if you experience lag while dragging Google Map or OSM)" - what does this do?

Running this, Google maps seems reasonably comparable to the others, yet when I just load Google maps on its own to look something up, it can easily take 5+ seconds to load.....any idea what might cause this discrepancy?

Overlaying a more prominent brand label on each would be an improvement.

Well done, I really like it!
I classify horror movies and post-apocalyptic shows like The Walking Dead as "bad things happen to good people for no reason other than plotline." I can only watch so much of that before it wears me out because there are no surprises and nothing beyond temporary respite for the characters. As you say, it requires viewers be really invested to watch everyone die, but if anyone can do it George R.R. Martin can.

The old joke is if people bother him enough about the next Game of Thrones book it'll just be 1,000 pages of snow blowing across graves. When he's done with the series I'm not sure how many characters, readers or viewers will be left. Even so he's the only author I can point to who can create compelling enough content that people may stay to the end. I'll never watch another Walking Dead or Leftovers because I just don't care enough about the characters, but George will probably manage to drag me to the end of GoT. Damn you, George.
And how these affect operator's workflow? That is, the ways an operator
interacts with the tools?

The facts that Java is garbage collected or that it runs on virtual machine
don't fundamentally change how programmers write code in it compared to e.g.
C++. It's the same type of tool ("paradigm"). Erlang, however, is
substantially different.
Glad to see one of the best C++ IDE's getting even better. The best part of it: even after all this years of active development and improvements it still feels very lightweight, it's more like sublime in terms of speed, when other comparable (by features) IDE's are feeling very heavy and bulky (like Visual Studio for example).

The only thing I would love to dream of is to Qt Creator have a better stand-alone support, now it's completely and fully integrated with Qt ecosystem, and that's really nice if you use Qt, but when I'm trying to convince my co-workers to give it a try, the getting on-board curve is a bit too much. Though this being said: it become much better in last years.
I have several private FB accounts. I created them when text message verification wasn't required. But if I had to do it now, I'd have bought a couple of cheap SIM cards and still set it up the same way.
I feel it's important to split your account into several ones instead of using groups of friends as recommended by FB. It's harder to profile and track you, you have more freedom and privacy in expressing yourself, you mitigate several risks etc. Only one of these accounts has my real name - I log in every couple of weeks and just accept invitations (if I care to). The other ones use common names to protect my privacy.
For example, I have a separate account for reviews. Reviews are important tool for consumers to influence the quality of service/product. While I don't want to hide behind a fake name when writing a review, and if asked I can reveal my identity to the organisation in charge of the product/service, I definitely don't want everyone to see what products/services I'm using. That's just one example - if you have to use social media, do it in such a way you have at least some control in this unequal battle.

Economics is far more complicated than most other fields, and you very often don't know the real "quality of the argument" until years later. So yes, in this case prior track record does very much matter.

laboratoria.la is doing one of the things you've mentioned. Their students give back a certain percentage of their salary for 3 years after graduating.

> Global warming doesn't cause acidic oceans.

CO2 causes warming, CO2+water is a weak acid. The ocean is acting as a large carbon sink, which is increasing its acidity.

So while global warming is not a cause of ocean acidification, they're caused in large part by the same thing.
