Very thorough and well balanced article. Congratulations.

I'm still in the multi-repo camp for the following reasons:

-It's true that in both case special tooling will eventually need to be created, but I think that special tooling that sits on top of VCS is easier than tooling that requires actually improving the VCS themselves.

-The article mentions that in a mono repo allows you to more easily fix things yourself, but in practice you should not fix things yourself because you'll be slower and/or make more mistakes than the people that are experts in this area of the code. Making hard for any person to fix any random piece of the code is a feature of multi-repos.

-"when reality dictates that things the used to be coupled should be decoupled or things that used to be decoupled need to be joined closer together"
Again, making it hard to couple code together is a feature.

-Re-usability of mono-repos is 0.
I played with this at the Samsung Developer Conference and it was the highlight of the show for me. It wasn't enough for me to buy in to the Samsung ecosystem, but it was enough for me to pay attention to what they're doing.
haha thanks!

I understand I'm saying some controversial things :)

Glad to get some support - reddit disagrees with me so far lol
I have a Samsung Dex, I only use it now to charge my phone. It's useful but not useful enough. It's the sort of experience that works in a pinch but a laptop or desktop delivers a much better desktop experience, and there is no proper RDP app. The MS RDP app doesn't go full screen.

For this to catch on, in my mind, it needs to provided an experience that can replace a desktop, otherwise having to have a dock, monitor, keyboard & mouse, might as well just add an Intel compute stick and have a 10 times better experience.

Neat. Why does have a USB 2 port though? Why not USB 3? (It has a USB-C port, but I don't understand why it has a slow USB 2 port when it could have a backwards-compatible USB 3 port of the same type.)
You seem to interpret swolchoks comment as a negative, in the sense that his wife doesn't like that kind of question.

That's what I am unable to do based on what he wrote. I am unable to infer anything from it.

Where I'm from, that type of question is never a negative, and everyone is subjected to it in the starting phases of all social interactions.

That's probably why I'm having problems inferring anything from the comment, because it's supposed to convey a negative about something I view as exclusively positive.
I really like the idea of only having a phone and being able to have a desktop experience without a separate machine. I am pretty invested product and physiologically wise in the Apple ecosystem and would love to see them go in this direction. They already have development workflows that make it relatively easy to modify the layout and functionality of apps for phones up to large iPad Pros and this could be seen as just another form factor which needs to be accounted for.
Eli Goldratt is an unsung hero of modern management practice. Though the Goal is his most famous work, his other books are pretty useful.

And like this throughput accounting thing, his ideas can be quite heretic in some circles.
The parent misinterprets the discussion and makes incorrect factual assumptions.

First, the question the GP addresses is about the U.S. in general, not NY subways:

> I don’t understand why American governments are so bad at providing public services.

Second, the GP discussed problems in the voting public and in both parties, while putting a preponderance of the responsibility on one party - a conclusion that seems hard to escape. The Democrats aren't radically cutting revenue and spending everywhere they are in office.

Finally, the NYC subway is operated by the state, not he city, and I believe it is funded in large part by state. Much infrastructure funding also comes from the federal government.
IMO, issue in the past has always been performance - using those phones was just a frustrating experience. With something disgustingly overspecced like the Note8 I imagine you could probably get pretty smooth performance in most apps, even multitasking.

As for use cases, I think there'd be a few;

1. As you've said, C-levels

2. Home users that don't want a computer, but work from a desk (I actually think this would be a huge market)

3. Weirdo's like me who'd set up a new desk in my home just for this, and maybe use it once. I suspect there'd be a few of us...

4. Mobile 'knowledge' workers, another potentially large market here.

For just about all of those, they're going to be among the least patient users you could ask for so again performance is going to be HUGE. If a Word doc takes more than a couple of seconds to open, then that's a problem.
Couldn't agree more. I suffered through a years worth of embedded C rewrites in simulink as well, certainly no silver bullet to be found there, to the chagrin of management

How do i develop an eye for detail?
I am a fairly new developer with couple years of experience. One of the things I struggle is that i am not very detail oriented. I see senior developer pointing out to small intricate mistakes/opinion which I have missed. On the other hand, I see some senior developers who are great programmers but they lack the eye for detail. How can I develop a sharp eye for details? These are the things related to the domain knowledge as well as other non-domain related things.

>I think Chicago would be a great fit for Amazon HQ2 but I'm confident that Amazon doesn't view it as liberal enough

It will be interesting to see how this plays out and I expect that financial incentives will play no small role.

That said, it will be interesting to see if Amazon picks someplace that seems a logical fit for "tech" in a West Coast-style vein or does more of a if-you-build-it-they-will-come sort of thing. Even if it's perceived as somewhere typical SV techies wouldn't want to live today.

Was there something special about OS/2 that suggested it would be the winner of this war or did WP and Lotus just make the same bad bet at the same time?
I actually think this is part of a pretty clever / sensible strategy.

The GearVR transforms the phone into a pretty decent VR headset. Now this accessory will transform the phone into a workable desktop computer.

Maybe it's been done before, and maybe the market for the device is limited; but it does position Samsung as a supplier of versatile and ubiquitous devices.

> or if they allowed complete disabling via motherboard jumper

That wouldn't really work; the ME is essentially "the CPU" of the Platform Controller Hub. Disabling it would be disabling your computer (e.g. your IOMMU, your DRAM refresh, your ACPI command routing, etc.)

All the stuff that used to be done "manually" by the CPU itself back in the 8086 days—using configured IRQs and PITs and whatever else—is done autonomously by the PCH these days, with the CPU just asking the PCH to "get it done." And the logic that runs in the PCH to interpret those requests and decides when and how to apply them, is executed by the ME.

The ME only managed to not exist previously, because mainboards were previously both "simpler" (every bus spoke exactly one protocol and the controller chip for that bus did the protocol signalling) and more complex (tons of single-purpose controller chips.) The PCH boils all that down to one chip, and it needs a CPU to do it, and that CPU is the ME. Getting rid of it would mean going back ~15 years in computer capabilities.

(Another way to think of the PCH is that it's basically an SoC chip, with the "heavy lifting" of application execution moved out to a separate, upgradable CPU socket. But, like any SoC, it still does need some sort of internal CPU. The ME is that CPU.)
A Windows mobile device? I think that's why most people would buy anything else.
Real friends aren't real friends if you only like them for their guns and training. I meant real friends.
I think this is a good idea. The reason being this looks like a "path of least resistance", since people already own phones, and it will get a lot of traction very quickly.

So far what I've seen is that when you keep a phone connected to power, the battery eventually degrades faster. I hope they solved that problem for this product.
i don't see what you see, so i can only attribute your interpretation to your biases/assumptions/worldview.

aside from wondering at motives, perhaps you should also wonder why your interpretations are what they are.
MS also feels like they've given up, seeing as they've ditched their phones.

> looking at it simply as a party problem hurts things, because there can be a lot of difference within the party, but people tend to overlook these things

The GP comment didn't describe it simply as a party problem; it put some accountability on both parties, and blamed the voters and everyone else participating in public discourse.

But sure, one party has made it a policy to cut spending, including on infrastructure. While the parent might be right that there are a lot of differences within the GOP, those differences aren't meaningful because they result in no differences in votes, laws, or public debate. They vote in lockstep and almost always speak in lockstep.
I have a 20-something yr-old rice cooker that was left to us by a departing Japanese postdoc. You turn it on, it cooks the rice, then turns itself off. Once in a while I get the urge to replace it with one of these high tech units, but then I sit down for a minute, and the urge passes.
Not that I know anything about the local art scene in tourist hotspots like Paris, but has it ever been different?

I strongly suspect this kind of hustle (like most tourist hustles) has been going on for a long time, it's just that now the paintings have been imported from China instead of being mass-painted on the cheap more locally.

According to wikipedia [1], the scam has been going on in some form since the early 2000's. No mention of France or Paris in the wikipedia article though.

You need to install an addon and a webserver to have your own html file in the new tab. And even these two things won't give you location bar experience of about:newtab. Location bar won't be focused and the url won't be selected. So you can't just start typing.
Mouse gestures don't work on about:newtab, nor on any chrome url (nor do they work on mozilla.com). Mouse gesture are just an example. No addon works on a chrome-url.
At least some addons don't work in private-mode, which makes private mode useless.
I'm really curious how all this pain does improve security (which was not an issue the last ten or so years).
I think any prognosis here is dire. There’s no going back from where we are.

You are confusing Minoans with Mycenaeans.

Yes, the Greeks are the descendants of the Mycenaeans, but Minoans were a totally different civilization. Different language, different people.

For what we can read, and archeologic findings, the Minoans civilization collapsed and disappeared
Yeah, I agree with your assessments of Go. I didn't mean for it to sound like Go is a good example of expressive static typing--quite the opposite: I was able to build something elegant with Go in spite of its limited, static type system.
You wondered why accusations would come out now, The Onion headline very accurately articulates a reason for that:

webhook.io is now defunct. They either shut it already down or will soon shut it down.

I think webtask.io is somewhat similar.

Also, iron.io lets you schedule functions using docker, has full API.

AWS Lambda also lets you schedule Lambda and has full API.
> There are plenty of other sites through out the Bay Area where we appropriate transit orient development can and should occur.

I think you have to name names when making claims like this. I'm open to the suggestion that we should "build somewhere else", but it's pretty disingenuous to say that without specifics. It seems to me everywhere in the bay is pretty closed to new housing development, and every city is pointing fingers at every city saying "why don't you build there instead"? Where exactly can we put all these new buildings? Personally I think the answer is "everywhere". Every single neighborhood should accept some level of increased density.

It’s possible but sounds pretty optimistic. More likely that the big 5 tech companies (who can pay for cloud services to function indefinitely) will consolidate the smaller IoT plays, and offer users a limited feature set for free, with premium tiers as well.

Also remember that if you’re maintaining the hub yourself it won’t get security updates.
They need a way better deployment method. Pip dependencies are usually just enumerated in a file (much like the json for NPM), but I think there's fundamental differences between how the Python Foundation and NPM Inc. handle their repositories. And if something isn't a nicely bundled wheel, I can still go out and install it (and any dependencies) the old fashioned way. With some of the dependency chains for various js modules, you're really forced to use a package manager of some sort for anything beyond your basics with minimal dependencies; or you'll be pulling your hair out and looking for that virgin goat to sacrifice.

FWIW, and I know it's not much, I really don't use Node unless I have to (or javascript outside the basics, JQuery & LoDash for that matter); I was turned off from it when I was told to download and install Node via a copy-paste from their website of some short command-line wget script. That's shoddy at best; so the current state of affairs can be linked back to early practices. It's nice that Node has been cleaning up their act, but it's still kinda a crap fest; and now that is the standard that they've provided for their community.

To wrap up this meandering train of thought. The paper actually addresses this nicely, because when 70% of the fluff and cruft in JS repos is node_modules, you end up with hidden dependencies, which is how things like left-pad happen. With pip I know exactly what all of my dependencies are (explicit dependencies); with Node, you're required to dig into the node_modules for every known dependency of that initial dependency (implicit dependencies).
Great points.

If you stop consuming cable television and take a step back, you can see that pundit news shows and professional sports have so much in common. It's "right" vs "wrong", "red" vs "blue", "stupid" vs "smart", "weak" vs "strong", etc. There's a winner. There's a loser. You aren't a loser, are you? Don't forget to buy Doritos.

Since media isn't going way, we really need to create alternative systems that stimulate our empathy instead of our anger.

Whenever my HTPC gets borked (it's a Hackintosh, it gets borked a lot), I regret not buying a "Q" motherboard. As it is, to fix the box, I have to temporarily switch the HDMI cable to the internal graphics, plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, and then sit down in front of it on the floor, craning my head to look at my TV beside it. With AMT access, I just could remote into the BIOS from my laptop on my couch.

MS RDP app doesn't go full screen

Wow, this a deal breaker.
I see two likely cases:

1. It's about financial incentives mostly, they have a few cities in mind and they are going to pick the best one of those options.

2. They already picked their city and they are hoping the competition gets them a better tax deal via competitive incentives.

I live in Boston right now and there is a lot of talk right now about #2. I sure as hell hope they don't come here and am sad to see that while our major originally said they wouldn't play the incentives game, they made a very snazzy proposal for them. Boston housing is getting near NYC and SF - this would destroy minority communities and flood the city.

One of the reasons I am hoping for Chicago is that it is a city that could use the revitalization and there is space to make the effect it would have on minority communities minimal, though frankly this will likely have big negatives no matter where it goes. But I suspect that it never had a chance.

I've listened to a number of fiction audiobooks at 3x. I find it takes a couple of minutes to adapt to a new narrator/speaker at 3x, but it's not really a big thing.

I'm not sure I'd retain much from a technical conversation at 3x -- for me the drop seems to be somewhere between 2x and 3x.
I'm of the impression that SELinux is much more operationally complex than AppArmor--so much so that it lends itself to security holes by way of accidental misconfiguration. This is all hearsay, but I'd like to hear some good discussion about this.
Basically the painting and home/hotel decor industry is no different than any other industry. Everything that requires hand labor is mass-produced in China, from Christmas decorations to assembly of iPhones.

It's just that with things like paintings, some people consider it special as art, but this just goes to show that nothing escapes the mass-production of China.

To be fair, you don't need $1000 to start developing UWP apps for Continuum. You just need a Windows license (~50$) since you can install it on Macs, and you can use Visual Studio Community, which is free (as in beer). Of course, plus the Continuum-enabled device, like a Lumia 950, but that's technically optional since you can debug your app on your local machine.

Any suggestions for those of us trying to enter the security market from devops?
Not to sound old school - because I am - but I believe that the medium effects the ability to comprehend the message (which happens before the wonky / faux message is received). That is, there is a difference between reading (e.g., newspaper or magazine) and watching.

Reading is proactive (so to speak). It engages the brain because the brain must be engaged in order to complete the activity. Furthermore, pausing to digest, or "rewind" to reread is completely natural. So much so, for a given read you probably do it more than you realize. (I know I do.)

On the other hand, watching is passive. The brain can step back / dial-down and still complete the activity. From that position, you're less likely (on average) to question what's presented you. Stoners don't pick up War & Peace, they turn on the TV, right :)

Note: Yes, these are generalization. Yes, there are always exceptions.

In addition - and there is some science that supports this - there is a difference between reading via paper and via a screen. My hunch is the brain gets conditioned to the medium. If your screen is mostly for junkfood (as it seems to be for so many of us) the brain is more likely to enter that relationship (so to speak) making certain presumptions. I suppose this could be similar to any learning. For example, they say that if you want maximum results for taking an exam you should study in the room where you'll take the example. Context effects learning / understanding.
