HA seems like a poor choice as a default. I don't want to pay ~$150/month for dev and staging clusters, and I certainly don't need them to be HA.

IIUC, Google/GKE and Microsoft/AKS are single-zone by default... free for masters, but not free for HA.
There is no serious acquisition that involves you telling the buyer what to do, outside of very rare occurrences and even then under very narrow parameters.
For me it doesn’t seem a daily grind. When I am actually writing software, I completely love it, even after 14 years of doing it professionally full time (and several years part time during uni).
The only parts that I never liked were the bureaucratic bullshit, production support even at insane hours of the day, and the politics with your colleagues.
Usually those were a relatively small part (20-40%) of the total and I still could enjoy writing good software the rest of the time.
Now finally contracting I’m in a position were my coding skills are really appreciated and I enjoy my time coding and helping my colleagues without all the bullshit.
Maybe I don’t score high in the interesting jobs lottery, but I’m perfectly happy of the pretty good amount of money that I get doing something that I love in old, boring, huge companies.

Don't forget Thalidomide, etc.

People seem to forget that there was a time where the FDA and trials didn't exist. And that the reason the FDA has to exist is because otherwise you get very expensive "drugs" that frequent, at best, do nothing, and oftentimes do harm.
What is logged is not necessarily what happened and it appears no one but Tesla has this data. What events register changes to the pedal setting? is it purely a measure of the pedal movement or what the system decides the setting to be, meaning can other systems in the car affect the value?

without unfettered access to the full data that Tesla has we will never know. Unlike Toyota Tesla does not seem willing to cooperate.

I am all for logging and accessibility to it but logging is only as valuable when you know the how and why of each event.
Been waiting for this for... 7 months now since its announcement at ReInvent?

My initial impressions are very negative. What even is the point of this? The clusters themselves do nothing, they're just a control plane you pay $144/month for. You need to add nodes from CloudFormation? Is there any integration at all with CodeBuild/CodeDeploy/CodePipeline? No mention anywhere of Ingress... I sure hope that's built in, but from what I'm reading it isn't? What was Amazon thinking by releasing this so unfinished?
I don't get the obsession americans have with reducing huge demographics into single buckets. (I think part of it is historical, but another part of it might just be because the country is so big that you have to develop some way of reducing all that complexity.) I don't want to be overly negative in response to your largely optimistic post, but the behaviour of millenials lie in a hugely diverse spectrum which needn't be reduced to a single canonical element. Maybe a first good step is to dehabit yourself from always saying "demographic X always seems to behave in Y manner".
A decentralized social network, built on peer-to-peer connections, allowing people to connect with one another without being intermediated and monetized by some central party? Sounds idyllic!

Is it possible that perhaps this has been considered before, and perhaps even implemented?

You don't sound thankful. You sound entitled.

Have you considered that even though you may consider FB or Google a better place to work, for status/pay... that you're already starting out INSANELY better with even Amazon, than the rest of the world gets?

You can make this experience as good or as poor as you like. It's completely up to you. I say to make the best of it.
Caltech glassblower's retirement has scientists sighing (2016)
I was referring to people who were actually using the product. I've had a number of jobs in my life, including being in the services division of a product company and also in an internal consulting team of an extremely large non-tech company. I would typically interact directly with the people who are using what we were building. So I could see exactly what they needed and did not need (despite what they said they wanted) and manage that so they were happy with the end product.

I've also worked in situations you've described. My only interaction with the end user is through layers of middle management. I found that environment to be extremely demotivating and certainly no direct sense of satisfaction. One of the small benefits of being a Data Scientist right now is that a lot of managers don't really understand what it is I do so I get some interaction with the end-user from a requirements and solution validation standpoint. But I suspect in a few years Data Scientists will become invisible cogs (like everybody else) in the Enterprise IT machine.
That's pretty much the age old debate about wealth. But the actual definition of millionaire is "someone whose assets are worth more than $1 million".

A VC investment is literally the exchanging shares for money. No it doesn't make someone liquid. Yes it does set something sorta like a market value, though it's usually really high. In more meaningful terms, that company now has $8 million in cash. There's almost no scenario where it's worth less than $8 million now, because companies at that stage usually have very little debt.
>Mr. Koum, a San Jose State University dropout, grew up in Soviet-era Ukraine, where the government could track communication, and talked frequently about his commitment to privacy.

Someone said that the people who love America the most are the immigrants who has to endure the crap back in their home country. I can totally relate to this. I have lived in a country where my privacy and personal judgment didn't mean anything. The government could do whatever with your life, and people can ruin your life and kill your whole family by accusing you of a story they hear from the vines [1, 2]. Maybe [3] - not from the same country, but it is the same story.

I make a point to not have Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp (now) - basically anything that Zuckerberg and co. laid their hands on. I fucking hate the whole idea of any entity blatantly time and again disrespecting my privacy and judgments to advance their agenda and make money. The truth is I really have no control over what it collects from me, what it shows me, what it tells me, what it advertises to me, what it hides from me. I know if I go with it, the decision of foregoing my privacy will go back and bite me when I need it the most. It doesn't matter what they say they stand for; it doesn't matter how many of my peers are using; it doesn't matter what I miss out; it doesn't matter how weird people think I am; it doesn't matter what opportunities I will lose. I have made a decision two years ago to never consider using Facebook, and I will do my damnest to stay away from Facebook and their products and I will try my damnest to convince people to do the same.

That's how much distaste I have for Facebook and their platform as a person who had a taste of injustice. Zuck might be on top of the laws and the world and has a lot of allies, but it's not like I have not seen that and I have to fear that. And that's probably the most beautiful thing about America.

Cool! Can airdev handle spreadsheets that use VB or XLLs?
I think it reflects different life phases. I did the "risk it all" approach when I was 19, when "risking it all" meant potentially being back to living at my parents and going back to university.

These days I wouldn't do that, because I have a kid and a mortgage, but I don't regret doing it at 19 - it taught me a hell of a lot of things that I'm not sure I would have if I'd only tried the cautious approach, and it still I think affects how I do things (e.g. it taught me that as much as testing and validating is important, sometimes it's better to just dive in, try, and fail fast - which is right depends how much you're risking and for what; you just need to actually assess your risks first).
One thing I'd add to this: the algorithm actually selects for stuff you agree with or hate. So sometimes instead of an echo chamber you get a war chamber, which I'm not sure is better.

We think that people should choose what they read. Stepping back and thinking about what you want to subscribe to -- instead of doing one more scroll -- helps.
Indeed. If I could only figure out how to have it automatically run `from math import *` (and then present me with the interactive shell, I could use it as a calculator too.
I don't think it's that bad, but I don't like it either. My main gripe is the sidebar. I don't like the fact it hovers over content. I don't know what the icons mean, so I always have to expand it to use it. I'd rather have it fully expanded always and displayed alongside the content.

Another problem is that the project explorer is very bare bones. I can't filter by language, for example.
That mountain often seems to bring the worst in people. It becomes an obssession. I worked at Intrade for a few months and its obsession eventually killed John Delaney, the CEO of Intrade.
You don't think wealth can be gained and lost? It's weird to quibble over the definition of millionaire when what you really think is absurd is highly volatile assets.

That would create problems in legal terms about what "distribution" means.

By definition in GPL, internal use is not distribution.

How to define internal is up to lawyers.

My mistake, I see that your initial post was asking this speculative question. The first response to you shifted the topic to "What does Tesla have to hide?", which seems reasonable given the topic of the submitted article, but that wasn't in your original question.

Why, oh why, are you starting out so defeated?!

I'm not sure the origin of the quote... "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right."

You're shooting yourself in the foot before you even start!!! STOP it!

Just go in and apply what you know, learn where you don't, and work hard. It's going to be hard, but it'll be worth it.
no, No, NO.

We're programmers. If you can think of it, we can do it. But it takes
someone who has the motivation and the time. Motivation is easy
to find but time is not. Because Time is Money (as I'm sure you've
heard). So the real issue is open source funding.

I've spent the last 18 years trying to get Axiom funded.

I tried the NSF. They will not fund Axiom because there is a
"competing commercial product" (aka Mathematica).

I tried the Air Force (AFOSR). They cannot give grants to open
source work because it requires financial tracking. Somebody has
to managed the funds and the receipts. When I was at City College
I did get a grant but they have a Provost (who took 55% for "support").

In order to handle accounting open source needs an "accounting
office" with professional, certified accountants. I approached several
companies (e.g. IBM, TI, etc.) with the idea of "donating a certified
accountant or two" to an organization that would "manage open
source grants" with services like funds management, receipt
clearance, taxes, etc. That way an open source project could accept
grant money. So far, nobody wants to donate people. I think such an
office could completely change the whole open source funding issue.

I've tried setting up donations for Axiom. The idea was not to pay
people to work on Axiom, just to support things like setting up a
conference or paying to attend a conference. I was the only donor.

Open source is not free. I estimate that I spent about $3000 per year
on things like travel to attend a conference and paying for hosting
services. I now have the Axiom server under my desk on a $1200
dollar computer. In order to ensure Axiom runs everywhere I have
to buy computers like the Apple (used to be a non-Intel processor),
the PowerPC, a Windows machine, a Linux machine, etc. It all adds
up to a lot of money.... not to mention the cost of books to keep up.
Oh, yeah, and my time is written off as "free".
> When Mr. Acton departed Facebook, he forfeited about $900 million in potential stock awards, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. Koum is expected to officially depart in mid-August, in which case he would leave behind more than two million unvested shares worth about $400 million at Facebook’s current stock price. Both men would have received all their remaining shares had they stayed until this November, when their contracts end.

4 billion dollars of the 22 billion was cash. The remaining 18 billion was in Facebook stock[1]. Most likely, they still have stock in Facebook.

I'm saying if ditching targeted advertising results in less tracking as well as less content, then I'm all for it because the content the current advertising model enables is so bad we're not willing to pay for it. And it's so meaningless no-one wants to create it as a hobby, either.

I don't see any need for any quality control.

This is one of the holes closed by Affero version of the GPL. Where internal GPL code is used as a server and uses a documented non-GPL protocol and is not distributed.
Interesting, I can't find their price on the website. Do you mind telling me more or less their price point?
Yes, it's what we ended up doing but with conversions.
That's why taking vc money is not alway the best option. In many cases it forces you into decisions that may not be best in the long or short term.

I do not ask for any more feature than they currently have in the free-libre version. I would not care if they were to be bought by X or Y. I am happy with them selling a non-free-libre version. Providing a basic free-libre, free-beer version that works and eventually wins other Github (free-beer version) would be very powerful marketing-wise.

The "plan to invade Canada" was a hypothetical concept about what to do should the British Empire have declared war on America in the early 20th century. They would likely have used Canada as a staging point for invasion.

Operation Northwoods by contrast was an active mission that was formulated, planned, and we were looking to imminently carry out as it made it's way all the way through the chain of command. It was literally one signature from being executed. If we had a different president than JFK the US intelligence agencies would have engaged in terrorist killings of US civilians and we'd likely have never heard about this, instead perhaps having a somber national holiday to remember the great losses the day that 'Cuban forces' attacked America.

Wells Fargo Leaving retail banking in 3 midwestern states
If it was too expensive to dial out or accept collect, life went on for people rich and poor. I think we’ve entered a world where opting out of constant communication (like not answering your phone) is completely alien and in some cases unacceptable, which in turn makes the prospect of constant communication valuable. But I’m not sure how many use cases are out there for how constant digital connection improves outcomes for acute life events or quality of life in general, but the assumption is that it does (despite growing research to the contrary).
I've 2 Macs, I might just try on the one I am not really using to try out. It should be reversible anyway.

It seems to me like this is just a debate over what words mean.

Essentially when you say the phrase “treat notebooks like first-class citizens” you’re baking in all kinds of statements about the design-level thinking that should be used for good craftsmanship when coding in the notebook.

This still won’t address the intrinsic mixing of concerns (especially units of display), but overall it roughly means that “treating notebooks as first class citizens” translates to “treat the notebook like a thin execution environment / IDE, but develop code in exactly the way you would in more standard settings.”

To me this falls flat because that’s not why people want to use a notebook. Generally they want to use it because it’s superficially easier to jumble all concerns into a single context and not think about coupling or separation, and just disregard testing and other best practices.

The notebook is optimized for this way of working, and I’m trying to call into question the underlying claim that it’s ever worthwhile to write code that way if there’s even slightest need for re-use or reproducibility.

Separately, a huge bunch of this sort of notebook usage specifically is for expressly presenting the notebook, almost like interactive slides, to other people (in which case the goals are completely antithetical to good software practices, implying implementation units should be factored out if the priority is presentation).

Basically I’m saying you’re sweeping a bunch of stuff under the rug by lumping testing, linting, tooling, and software craftsmanship all under the term “first-class citizen.”

The other reality is that notebooks aren’t first-class units, at least in Python. You can’t import a notebook like a module, unless you do a lossy export to a .py file (in which case, why weren’t you just writing the .py file to begin with and only putting units of display in the notebook that imports the .py file?) — not to mention that you’d need custom tooling instead of mature tooling to apply linting, testing, packaging, etc., like we discussed above.

Cool, except right to try is not blinded -- you're paying to have access to drugs, so you have to get them. Any data from a person who buys a drug without knowing if it works or not (or kills them faster) is useless for everyone else (it actively reduces the trial population) due to placebo effect and trial controls.

This is ignoring 50% being (i would say optimistic) for stage 3 trials, but right to try kicks in before stage 3 trials so suddenly you're dealing with stage 2 trials: and iirc only like 10% of candidates make it from stage 2 to stage 3, so now you've got maybe a 5% chance of it helping, and a much greater chance of it making your situation worse. And you're still not providing useful data that might help other people.

It also ignores that there are typically multiple drugs with the same or similar targets running trials at the same time: which do you take given currently there's no evidence of which (or any) is effective, no data on how dangerous any (or all) of them are.
>OSX posix support has never let me down.

OS X is literally missing half of semaphore.h. Actually it's worse than that because the functions aren't technically missing and your code compiles the whole time as you write it but when you run it you find out that nothing works because all the functions do is print "function not implemented".
Etsy is 20 cents per listing plus the CC transaction fee. I've seen a lot of shop owners get around this by offering incredibly customizable products. They have a text box for "Customer Comments" where you describe what you want.

I actually bought the exact thing OP is trying to sell on Etsy using the method I just described. The seller had uploaded a lot of examples of different types of work they could create so I had an idea of what they could do before I purchased.
