Yes, http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Keen_1_Levels says the "teddy bear maze" is the secret level and that the yellow door never existed.

Not sure if a mistake or red herring; probably the former but in a more tortuous level layout it would be kind of funny/cruel to make people work to get the green key to get the yellow key to get nowhere extra at all...

Begin with fallacies and you shall conclude nonsense.

As a species, once we reached apex predator status, we were already born with the entire Earth's resources as our inheritance, not nothing. Somehow those got divided up and almost never was it via the mechanisms of an open market economy -- only in exceptional circumstances did those mechanisms provide a modicum of mobility, especially during technological transitions. The rest of the uplift was through outright redistribution, either through the occasional enlightened king's edict, the politburo's fist, or the exercise of raw political power in the legislatures of the world.

An unfettered open market economy that gets farther and farther from initial conditions ends in a revolution.

Bingo. While there are issues with the developers and their decision making process the real issue is with the large mining conglomerates that control huge portions of the network. They have enormous influence on what changes are actually rolled out and have generally been unwilling to implement changes that will affect their profits.

I have worked at enough places where "appearing busy" is rewarded far more than being efficient and truly productive. This seems to be where we're headed as a middle management society and it sucks. Ethical behavior would mean doing whatever you can to reduce such perverse incentives (venturing a guess that means keep your mouth shut in this case).
There's actually a ton of problems with haptic latency in the current Kiiroo/Feelme setup. I did a teardown of the launch hardware and web services on my sex toy hacking youtube channel:

> Bitcoin's total potential transaction volume is about 3 orders of magnitude less than the Visa network.

Why are you comparing it to visa? I have no intention of getting rid of my cc. My bank account on the other hand...

> There is absolutely no inherent value

Clearly the people who have assigned value by acquiring it would disagree with this, yes?

> and no transaction is denominated in bitcoins

That's just false. Almost all other cryptos are priced in bitcoin, which i think is the subject matter of this thread.

> nobody operating a real business wants a number of bitcoins for a good or service

Oh dear. No. If you think that service providers that are paid in bitcoin aren't keeping their bitcoin holdings you're kidding yourself. That may have been the case a few years ago, but today? There are services today that do exactly the opposite : take a wage and immediately convert into bitcoin and place it in your wallet.
"court somewhere rules in the favor of a person found innocent who is suing to keep as many details of a particular murder off the Internet on the grounds that his or her constitutional rights being violated"

"Murder is the killing of another person without justification or valid excuse, and it is especially the unlawful killing of another person with malice aforethought."

So if they are found innocent, it wasn't Murder thus the scenario your suggesting is not valid. The principle of Innocent until Provent Guilty still applies and is a fundamental tenant of American law.

That's a textbook case of constructive dismissal.
My point was that each garbage collector is more valuable to the person paying for them than Oprah Winfrey is, but Oprah makes hundreds of millions of dollars and the garbage collector makes a typical wage. I understand the reasoning that Oprah provides a little value that is distributed to a lot of people and that the garbage industry in its totality is more valuable than Oprah. With all that, I still think it's a bit of a partial way to summarize whatever is happening here - and something about it just seems misleading. Then again, maybe I just think societies values and priorities are bizarre.
WHY NOT BOTH? (OP here. I figured the prominent company branding was sufficient disclaimer that yes, we do have a product to sell; but we built the product because we see a better way of doing things, rather than vice versa.)

TL;DR: use probabilistic logging (x% chance of logging, with x chosen by dev for each log statement) instead of importance levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO, etc) to keep common events from flooding log files. Is that it?

Basically. But if your volume is high enough to have this problem, you're probably past the point where humans reading logs is a reasonable use of time, so you need machines to help humans consume the logs (e.g. to produce summary statistics and graphs).

So as well as probabilistic logging, annotate the logs you do emit with the probability of emission. That way the machines consuming the logs can continue to account for the logs that were dropped.

Chinese and Saudi courts can do that to the extent the local law allows them to independent of whether Canadian courts do; Chinese and Saudi courts are neither bound nor empowered by Canadian precedent (I doubt either would even treat it as persuasive precedent, much less binding.)

Ethical behavior generally requires honesty and forthrightness. If you are only concerned about your own ethical behavior, you should tell them. Keeping it a secret is effectively lying.

Why? Virtually all companies keep secrets both from their employees as well as their clients. In fact, these are even protected by force of law. Why is it dishonest for the employee to act towards the company in the same way? Isn't that a double standard?

Fair point; it's likely some combination of the two. Unsurprisingly we tend to measure by things that are easy to measure.

There are examples of roles where outcomes are easier to measure, and those roles generally tend to be more directly connected to compensation.

As PG put it in http://paulgraham.com/wealth.html:

> To get rich you need to get yourself in a situation with two things, measurement and leverage. You need to be in a position where your performance can be measured, or there is no way to get paid more by doing more. And you have to have leverage, in the sense that the decisions you make have a big effect.

> Measurement alone is not enough. An example of a job with measurement but not leverage is doing piecework in a sweatshop. Your performance is measured and you get paid accordingly, but you have no scope for decisions. The only decision you get to make is how fast you work, and that can probably only increase your earnings by a factor of two or three.
> Market economies do not function on work, but on value.

That's the whole point of the article.

"Those rules are not some natural feature of the universe. People made them. People can change them."
No one is advocating for removal of property rights, sheesh. The author is pointing out the realities of life today, and I'm just surprised how you tend to bring in these complexities to divert such a simple point.

The many ideas that people had a couple centuries ago don't hold up so well anymore. The population of the world when the book you refer to was published (17 century) was 8% of what it is currently. Resource utilization was a fraction of what it is today.

Today natural resources are dwindling and powerful people are quicker than ever at capturing anything of value. There is an imbalance in what one can do with their best efforts today, and that's not fair.

Acknowledging the faults in our current society is a better path to take rather than advocating for the arguments put forward by someone who probably couldn't fathom today's world.
I would go with Symfony, has a great community, it's very robuts and lot of developers behind it.

> And, frankly, even if they had cared, I don't think any amount of dev outrage would actually counter such an influential industry consortium (but maybe I'm just cynical).

I don't think the industry consortium is really even that relevant here; it was proposed to the W3C in Feb 2012 jointly by Google, Microsoft, and Netflix, and already had a fairly well fleshed out proposal. It was shipped in Chrome, with Netflix supporting it, little over a year later. I'm fairly certain those three companies would've gone ahead with it regardless of what the outcome of the W3C proposal was.
It's almost as though we can take that particular example in context, rather than mindlessly calculating which side has more money and then crafting arguments against their case.
Disclaimer: I don't live in Silicon Valley, and I've never worked at a startup, but this seems really shady/dishonest. First of all, 15% equity sounds like very little for a co-founder unless you're only putting 15% of the work in. Second of all, this idea of wanting the "loan" back should have come up during the equity split discussions. Otherwise, he's essentially lied to you about the nature of the "investment".

Have a conversation about this with the co-founder right away.
I don't think it's uncommon but it's a bad smell you have not, together, agreed to this scenario beforehand when they put in the money. Like, in your operating agreement. You have one of those right..? Usually, there is something in there about how founders can loan money to the business but that's worked out ahead of time or when the loan is made.

Founder disagreement is real high on the list of why companies fail and this is a good test to see if Y'all can hash it out. I also think you all way overvalued the cash contribution.
> The second means you all talked about this stuff since the beginning without actually doing it or not many on team cared as much.

This is extremely not true. We have actively cared about this for a long time, and we've been doing work towards it basically forever, with some progress. This is the latest effort. There is no silver bullet.
Han Solo is just force sensitive, that's all.
Fun fact: the "can't yell fire in a crowded theater" argument came from a Supreme Court justice explaining why it was okay to imprison people for publishing pamphlets arguing against the WW1 draft. It's not really a great choice of allusion when you're trying to convince others that you're big on free speech.
Did you read the rest? I appreciate a reply from the core team but you must understand your potential audience of Rust users is a highly gender/racial biased cohort. If Rust becomes popular it will become near impossible to deviate from the mean unless you engage in affirmative action by selectively removing community members in the majority.

Edit: I'm not against these kinds of initiatives at all, I just don't think it's realistic to apply such goals to a free-form group of programming language users.
It's actually a great example of how freedom of speech is not a binary. It's possible to curtail some forms of expression, such as hate-speech, without turning the country into an autocratic regime that punishes thought crimes. Lots of Americans like to think that as soon as you moderately curtail freedom of expression, you've crossed some threshold and you're now North Korea. Turns out that with a strong judiciary (that isn't corrupted by money and politics) it's possible to have reasonable constraints on expression!
Nope, it's literally 25,000 degrees C. The higher the temperature and density, the less mass you need to reach supercritical so to get to the point where 20kg is fissile, you need to really turn it up. Increasing the density of a ball of uranium plasma is far harder than just heating it up some more.
Well, sure it did. It was the best we had, after all, and folks were trained to do it. But compared to today's transactions, it is really a step backwards.
Not bad to think about this, but I think much smaller changes would have huge effects.

Thinks like approval or rank voting, for example.

I don't understand why these minor changes don't get implemented.
I have been tracking it quite strongly. My big problem currently isn't using it; my big problem is that others can't read it.

So, a work problem to use it needs to be 1) resource constrained and 2) limited programming scope so only I have to deal with it. 1) is easy. 2), not so much.
Because for a software developer/designer to criticize a strategy they must have some skills that most of the time they don't, so their critics are most probably wrong (at least most of the times, for obvious 101 statistics), but their own ignorance don't let them see it and then they jeopardize their chief strategy :)

And the same happens in politics and economy: everybody also thinks that been a citizen makes then elected to say how the economy and the politics should be lead. But their efforts stops there, in talking. No hands on works, neither in politics, neither in the company they are complaining. Mostly because as they don't know the core business that much, they can't get the big picture and start thinking in a binary way.
What you learned, is if you develop the automation, do NOT tell others that you did. And in your case, you should have implemented a time-delay from page-generation to page-creation, to make it look like you did it.

Ive automated a portion of my job. It does require me having to type my OTP token, but I can build more and more with my private stack. It also means I can do less and still do more.
Transactions are an answer for atomicity, not consistency. It's possible to have transactions and not be consistent. Hopefully this is just the mistake of a non-technical product manager and not the engineering team that works on Cloud Spanner.

Ever try to use a dbus service from the shell? From any language that _doesn't_ rely on a binding to the C library? Therein lies your answer.

It's like ioctl. The ioctl interface is an abomination precisely because it breaks the open/read/write/close interface. Ever try to use an ad hoc ioctl interface from any language other than C or C++?

If all the world used the same programming language with the same control flow constructs then a strongly typed RPC interface would make a ton of sense. But it doesn't.

The everything-is-a-file contract works well for the same reason that IP works well: because it pushes the complexity to the edges, and when the technology changes you don't need to upgrade every piece of middleware.

Almost every modern language supports open, read, write, and close from day 1, giving you the necessary primitives to communicate with anything supporting that model. Of course, maybe batteries aren't included and you have to do some grunt work. But that's often the interface designers fault. Opening a TCP connection on Plan 9 is as easy as a single open call, vs multiple complex system calls using a more typed interface like the BSD Sockets API.

Even dbus can be exported through the file model. Theoretically you could expose dbus through the filesystem namespace using something like FUSE. And, actually, here's an attempt at that: https://github.com/sidorares/dbusfs Which goes to show how flexible the open/read/write/close model truly is.

Ask HN: What are the basics of Startup DevOps?
I'm the technical co-founder of a small startup. We have ~10 businesses using our product. Given the nature of our market and our current pipeline, there are deals that could add 100+ businesses to our system in a few days.

We're using Rails as the main framework. We have a web, worker, and cable hobby dyno. We have a Standard 0 Postgres database.

My question is what configuration and features of Heroku can I leverage to handle large jumps in load? How soon should I invest in New Relic or another APM? What other aspects of DevOps 101 am I missing?

My background is in software development more so than operations. Thank you for your help!

>The reality is calculating "value created" is extraordinarily difficult, so we use "hours-of-butt-in-seat" because it's the closest proxy.

Some would disagree on this, the Marxian school posits that the employer really is paying for "hours-of-butt-in-seat", technically, labour-time (note, this is not the same as labour, or the value created by the labour). As such, value of the products doesn't come into it at all, but rather only the minimum value required to keep the worker. What is this value equal to? The amount required to sustain the worker - i.e to cater to his survival, to ensure the continued flow of labour (viz. supporting the worker's family), to keep the employee coming to his job, and most importantly the reproduction of his labour-time commodity.

Keeping people stupid has value to those who would benefit from stupidity (governments, institutions, corporations and entrenched wealth) -- thus platitudes and "foundations" with very very slow if any progressive impact are the true status quo...

The trick is to keep people holding themselves down by providing them the baggage to keep their minds off the unlimited and focused on the limitations.
