I see your point, though it does seem like these are both extensions of the same underlying instinctual desires present in males, mainly the need for dominance (expressed in only a small percentage of the population for evolutionary reasons) and the need for sexual gratification / production of offspring. Being the biggest metaphorical genitalia around will lead to fulfillment of both of those things.
Nope. If you're a senior developer, you're a senior developer. You've developed the thinking skills you need for that level. Places that need very deep experience in a very specific technology are quite rare.

One of the skills you have as a senior dev is that you can come quickly up to speed on a new stack in whatever your field is. You understand the underlying problems, learning the new incantation to make things work is comparatively trivial.

Note: If you entirely switch fields this does not necessarily apply.

This is the strategy that I prefer. I aim to deliver version 1 of my side projects within 3-4 weeks. After working on it for too long without delivering, I lose interest. I fix the time and budget of the version, not the scope. Unfinished features are cut out of the version 1. I focus on the core features. There will always be time to add extra features in the future.

Most people are afraid of launching because they don't want to be judged. That's why they delay the launch. I prefer giving my software to a handful of real users as soon as possible. So that they can test and give me feedback. There will always be bugs in software. Show me a popular software product and I will give you a list of over 10,000 bugs which were reported in its lifetime. What matters is the speed in which you fix them. If you created version 1 of the product, you wouldn't waste more than a day fixing all bugs reported on first day.

It won't make your city any less dead, but if you get online and help people with what you know, and learn from others, you'll certainly make friends.
Well the point of the story is building off the narrative that Google is using its power to suppress negative stories/think tank reports about Google.

The article doesn't really give context on what information the story that got pulled had, and just that headline of "penalising" sites that didn't add the feature is hard to judge properly without knowing exactly what was said. I can certainly imagine Google trying to sell how big Google+ was going to be, and how adding the +1 button would drive users to Forbes for engagement and conversations. In such a theoretical argument, missing out on this engagement would set Forbes lower on the search results, effectively penalizing them. To me, this would be very different than an explicit punishing of sites that did not adopt the feature, which is obviously an abuse of power.
For the uninitiated, he's a member of the QI panel, a British comedy quiz show. There are quite a few episodes where they talk about Pliny the Elder on that show, its quite funny.
You are a senior developer, so you have worked with other people. Make a list of them, see what they're up to. At least half of them will be at companies that are hiring. This is your shortest path to the job you want.
You can make a mess out of any development system, and a knee-jerk reaction to throw out RDBMS guarantees is as sensible as ignoring Javascript because legacy jQuery made the UI really hard to understand and debug.

I've worked on some large apps and almost always had separation of concerns - the database is ultimately responsible for data integrity. It will validate foreign keys, data ranges and types, but does not implement write business logic. This takes advantage of the amazing work put in to query planners but avoids most of the magic that triggers cause.
This is interesting. I'm interested to know how this all occurred.

This statement is from here http://radd.it/farewell.html:

"Why? Some of the reasons are personal but many have to do with reddit. A few months after I finished working on this site, I had what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. I now see how reddit is just a part of a far-larger deception designed to keep us blind and afraid. I no longer want to play any part in it. If you'd like to know more, I made a vid explaining things further."
That sucks. I wonder for how many weeks a year the angle of the sun is such that the shadow hits that house.
Pivoting is the new failure. It casts you in a bad light, like putting a reason for leaving as being fired. Additionally, pivoting means you're trying something new, and this is less valuable than having experience in the job. It means you'll have to spend a lot of the employer's time (money) messing around, making mistakes, breaking things, etc - as is necessitated by learning.
To add to this, I think attention needs to shift from "booting" unikernels to sorta... "instantiating" them. Booting involves enumeration, initialization, and teardown of devices. If unikernels could be resumed from a compact memory image without having to enumerate or initialize any (virtual) devices then I figure things would get a lot easier.

For what it's worth, though, there's a lot of value in long-running unikernels. There are good reasons not to pay even the cost of a memcpy of the unikernel image, especially when it comes to making good use of system resources. I'm mostly interested in unikernels on bare metal (or something close, like device-specific PCIe passthrough). There's a lot of potential in an application having full and exclusive access to a hardware platform; it means that your application can make creative use of isolation primitives, be aware of its true resource limits, and choose scheduling and work sharing primitives which make sense for the application.

In many ways, good unikernel environments are similar to DOS, I'm amused to see the resurgence.
Until recently (~5 years I guess, possibly longer now) MySQL beat PostgreSQL in raw read performance and scalability - though you'd have to scale MySQL sooner. PostgreSQL has been better than MySQL for high-write workloads (thanks to MVCC, if you tune autovacuum properly) and for more complex queries as the query planner understands the storage layer.

Modern PostgreSQL has a much better story around horizontal scaling thanks to streaming replication and a lot of work from the Citus Data team. Query performance is greatly improved as well.
Forget about the NDA situation. What's evil is penalizing traffic that doesn't promote Google with buttons. That's far worse.

When we talk about the big-O for a given problem, the default interpretation is for a deterministic computer. All of our existing deterministic algorithms for NP-complete problems are exponential, and solving an NP-complete problem like SAT on a non-deterministic computer is trivial (and not especially useful since we don't know how to build those).

Brexit is a good example of this. There was a lot of grassroots discontent, but it took educated elites to organise and focus it into something they wanted.

The people at the bottom just simply don't have much experience in organising politically.

Check out Solo5. There's nothing much more in there than a virtual network driver and a virtual disk driver.

Solo5 acts as the host for MirageOS and maybe other Unikernels, or even just for raw C++ code.

An old, old Oracle joke:

Q: On what hardware does Oracle run best?

In my opinion, the engineers that work on Chrome are the saddest about Alphabet products that are Chrome-only, because it makes it harder to cooperate with Firefox, Edge, and Safari engineers on open web standards.

I disagree with the idea that it is unprofitable to not support competing browsers. Just look at United States v. Microsoft Corp.

But, as you say, Google is first and foremost a business. As a business, it has a process where, if you don't have impact, you get fired. There are lots of people who, if forced to choose between "deferring work on Firefox bugs" and "getting fired", would choose the former. I would rather that they didn't have to make that choice in the first place.
I really need to do an update of that article, with C++ std::thread, libDispatch, and some of the other stuff that's come along in the intervening 11 years. I still spend a lot of time tracking down other people's threading bugs (in an entirely-different codebase, these days) though.
The negative impact of a bad teacher is overwhelming. It really reflects our species' dependence on a (recently often-recorded) oral history, even in the sciences.
> At the end of the day, Sun/Oracle has to be able to make revenue from Solaris for them to keep paying those peoples' salaries.

This is a crop out that you're giving on behalf of Oracle.

Oracle does this all the time. It's their modus operandi.

They buy companies/technologies out, milk them for license fees and let it trudge along until it stops making money anymore and either close shop or abandon it to Apache Foundation.

There are anecdotes out there ranging from technologies they've bought to sale representatives having their bonus taken away from selling licenses.

Your statement also just ignore their cowardly act of re proprietrating solaris. They did the same with Java not giving out TCK for Apache open source Java. There are many other instances of hostile actions toward the open source communities.
For my work (and the 160-thread POWER8 box I got given to run it on by IBM) AIX didn't even enter the discussion, which was sort of a shame. I had no need for it, but it would've been fun; but Linux on POWER with Docker and everything else is surprisingly nice.

I'm talking about someone like Apple, revolutionizing the local/personal power harvesting technology, by applying to this problem a similar ethos to that of the iDevices.

Like, I'd love to have a portable harvester that has a similar degree of comfort and performance as I'm used to with my laptop and phone. I'm sure they're out there - but I'd prefer an Apple-style level of quality ..
congratulations on believing a thing without rigorous evidence?
Imagine you run an aluminium plant (where you can't have the plant lose power or the metal solidifies and costs you millions).

Would you rather be powered by coal or wind?

I should also point out that power prices vary wildly depending on where and when the energy is delivered, the time of day is hugely important.

Electricity isn't stored - it must be consumed as soon as it is created. If you are delivering it at times when nobody uses it, then the only people who can pay you will give you much lower prices. Do you see how little relevance these lower prices are? It doesn't mean that coal is much more expensive, it just means coal commands a higher price because it sells when it has no competition.

All of them? PostgreSQL has kinda left everyone else in the dust in regards to JSON support.
A user process running on an OS running on a hypervisor has certain overhead, so you can either remove the hypervisor (native containers) or you can remove the OS (unikernels). Arguably the hypervisor has a smaller attack surface than an OS.

Also, there's a small set of programs that don't get along with the abstractions provided by OSes and run better on a virtual hardware abstraction instead.
"BTC has never-before seen volatility, biggest bubble of all time."

You are very wrong. First, volatility used to be much worse: https://mobile.twitter.com/lsukernik/status/8649208737189519... Secondly, the importance of a bubble is measured relatively not absolutely: BTC may be near the all-time high but it has seen only a ~2x increase in the last 30 days, while the Nov 2013, Feb 2013, and Jun 2012 bubbles all saw 10x...

I would definitely recommend their services as well. I previously worked as a contractor (mostly on internal backend systems) for XHTMLized and their sister company X-Team, and have used XHTMLized (before the rebrand) for a client project of my own.

Edit: just read the last part of the OP. You will absolutely get what you pay for in this industry. If you pay nothing or almost nothing, you will get shit back.
I think this is an interesting topic too. Some ideas I've had on this:

You prevent people from posting terribly toxic comments in the first place, whether that's automatic moderation or warning them that their comment is toxic and to reconsider what they're about to post. I'm gonna plug http://www.getspectrum.io here b/c it's relevant.

Require answering a question related to the topic at hand before allowing comment submissions. I read about this being done by a news site in Europe not too long ago.

Prompt the audience/community with a specific question/prompt that the discussion/comments will be in about. That way every comment is a direct response to the same question. This could help keep things on topic. I think a lot of toxic comments are often from indirect tangents.

What if you could see comments that have been posted only after posting one of your own? That way your primary contribution is an organic thought and not an angered response to what someone else has said.
This is reminiscent of Star Trek TNG "When the Bough Breaks", where a parent of the 23rd century scolds his 8-year old child for not wanting to study calculus.
Hillary is center-right by international standards, and the radical left treats her as such. You won't find many leftists praising Clinton, even if some of them voted for her out of desperation.
As time goes on this is become a less and less controversial opinion. There are still some specific use cases which favour competing RDBMS, but the majority of people who choose competitors at the moment is for reasons tangential to functionality and performance.
That's just not a meaningful distinction. Technically correct, probably -- useful? Nah.
I agree with your comment except the last sentence. Negative or not, I think it's a poor choice of word to use in the context of a CV/career.

When interviewees are asked "So why are you looking to move from your present job?". Saying that you need a new challenge sounds very different than "needing to pivot".
I would agree with this. If only by a personal anecdote: I got through calc 1 & 2 by the end of 8th grade. This was though an online class while at a smaller rural school in Montana. Being 'smarter' than my classmates had little to do with it, instead the immense bureaucracy of public school my parents fought made it happen.

What makes this newsworthy? Is the only launch site in the west? The width of Korea can't be that important for an ICBM and I'd assume the US could strike just about everywhere in North Korea before they had a chance to respond.
Would IoT be the killer app for unikernel? Since most IoT apps are simple single purpose app and require fast boot time.

It's scarily accurate.
Yes Oracle did that to Solaris. You are right.
But it was already pretty dead before Oracle bought Sun. Which was why Sun was for-sale in the first place.

That's not just Oracle's fault. Place blame where blame is due(java) - but blaming everything on Oracle is kinda silly here. Sun mis-stepped pretty hard in the years after the original .com bubble and what we are seeing now the the final result. I'm shocked it took this long.

There is a lot in this story to consider - if you love Australia, the land, then this sort of story is bitter-sweet. It's about as white and imperialistic an "Australia desert story" as you can get, and induces much cringe. (Potatoes? Really?)

For those of you fascinated by this story you should know that camels are not native to Australia, and have been considered a destructive, intrusive species. Sure, they work great in the Australian desert - but they've had a negative impact on that environment, in that they destroy the crops grown by First Nation Australians as part of their tens-of-thousands-year-old land caretaking traditions.

So .. Camels are one way to do it. Walking by yourself, another:

I came back in time to prevent us from ever going back in time. Sounds complicated, and trust me it is. All will become clear soon.

I wish I had some smidgen of life advice, but we're even more fucked up in the future than we are now, I'm afraid.

Jokes aside, what I've been doing is finding fun ways to strengthen my discipline while picking up useful skills. I picked up the Rubik's cube about a year ago, I'm now under a minute and a half and won't stop until I'm under ten seconds. Then I will learn how to balance things on my fingers and other body parts. Then I will learn how to juggle.

No, I'm not training to become a circus clown. Just noticing my weaknesses (visualization, dexterity, coordination, etc) and finding fun ways to mitigate them. The discipline involved in my incremental daily progress will hopefully carry over to other aspects of my life.

I keep a pack of index cards and a pen within arms reach, and make tons of lists and notes and keep them around my monitor so I see them ten hours a day. I try to take care of at least 1-3 things on these lists a day. I condense my daily soul-crushing feelings of loneliness and desperation to between 3-4am.

I have a million and one great ideas and I write them all down, but I only allow myself to focus on 1-2 projects at a time. This creates a small sense of embarrassment, as I love to work through my ideas by discussing them with others even if I don't actually plan on implementing them any time soon, but I worry it comes across to others as me talking about doing all sorts of things that I will never do, simply because I don't bother communicating that I'm just talking through these ideas to find their flaws. But that's ok, eventually I will have things to show for it.

I'm not satisfied with the speed of my progress, but that's ok. If I was, it means I'm not aiming for lofty enough goals. I should never be satisfied with the person I am, because I should never settle for what I have.

Anyway, that's what works for me for now, hope some of it helps.
It's a very very serious downside for me that there are now two MySQL's (three if you count Amazon's Aurora), just like there are multiple Linuxes and two Pythons.
Governmental control of the monetary system (AKA "oversight") is one of the biggest reasons Bitcoin was invented in the first place. The last thing this world needs is more oversight and control by disconnected bureaucrats with no skin in the game.

Long-term, however, such attempts at regulating cryptocurrency simply make it even MORE decentralized / antifragile as people stop using traditional exchanges (which can be easily regulated) and start using decentralized options such as LocalBitcoins.com (which is all but impossible to regulate).

The question is mostly nonsensical. Create-React-App is an abstraction over a prebuilt Webpack+Babel config, with a bunch of niceties for developer experience like an in-page error overlay, linting for common mistakes, and so on. The template it uses for a new app adds React and ReactDOM to your dependencies, and imports React into the couple starting files, but it's entirely up to you what you do with the project's contents after that. If you want to delete any references to React and use Preact instead, you can. In fact, you could probably go start using Mithril or Vue or something else if you really wanted to.
Most likely a variation of their favourite "must provide Terms & Conditions and Uninstallation instructions immediately next the Download button" b/s. There are a lot of stories going around about this being used to drag undesirable AdWords customers through the pleasure halls of Indian-accented Google support hell.

It's not the requirements per se (though they are complete bullshit and their own Chrome does not in fact follow them), it's how they are "communicated" by the support. This certainly looks like a passive-aggressive way to drive people off AdWords.
