I have read some similar article(s), I think.

Pricing models don’t necessarily rely on the underlying technology, IMO. (Consider the ol’ paid-for vs vendor-bundled browsers.)

I’m not sure whether reliability makes for different categories either: different OSes have different focus on reliability, but are all OSes, after all. Definitely makes for different use-cases, though!

I also wonder whether the integrated coding environment and staging aspect primarily reflects general developments in coding workflow. That is, whether they are an incidental or intrinsic difference. It would probably have been much easier to make up my mind on that if I had any mainframe experience.

Categorization depends on how you draw the lines, and I definitely have a bias towards assuming hyped-up stuff is probably less interesting or new than the hype makes it out to be. Though, I haven’t made up my mind whether to consider mainframes and ‘the cloud’ different instances of the same thing.

Thanks for the reply, interesting stuff!
Not searchable by name. There's a description like "video game developer says he won't take down had reviews but does" but you'd presumably have to watch the linked-to video to find out who.

I guess this is for legal reasons. "Hey, we didn't mention anyone". Means that the page needs to be monitored for dead links when the videos/articles get taken down.
But, my real contextual ask was Why RedHat is blamed for Systemd in Linux Ecosystem...

Sure, a RedHat employee built something that Redhat wanted for their major Linux distribution. Why does the community direct hate at RedHat for it being everywhere? If it is deemed as not good by the community, the distributions are free to develop alternatives...

> And who was it that changed their algorithm for handling TorBrowser traffic so that there's no need to show those CAPTCHAs? Oh. Cloudflare.

If you're checking for a custom user agent, you're doing it wrong. Not all people using Tor to try and browse the web limit their browser choice like that.

I still have the terrible experience of having to train Google's ANNs every 5 minutes when using regular Firefox and Chromium over a Tor SOCKS proxy and I blame CloudFlare for single-handedly destroying web browsing over Tor.

You've heard of Open Core, I imagine? That's what everyone does. Even the GitLab everyone's talking about in this context is Open Core.

And regarding your claim, you can do all of that, even with Vim if you want. You just have to build some scaffolding.

After all, they can't be expected to implementing everything for everyone. More than that, they were actually nice and created LSP (https://langserver.org/) and now they're thinking about a Debug Adapter Protocol (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-debugadapter-node/issues...) that would do the same thing for debugging.

>>Good engineers are moved to headquarter in the US.

Not all though. Crazy politics for such things. You tend to get shafted instantly if you don't have leverage with your manager. And in India deep linguistic and state affiliations play into all these things.

I was lucky that I was offered during a situation where a whole center was being shutdown and they had to relocate a bunch of folks to maintain continuity. When the center was actually running, you had to be in the good books of the inner management cartel. Many equations decided who would get what, and job performance was the least of it.

Also you tend to suffer on the longer run if you are not in dev work, even in the US. One hears whole QA units or SRE units shutdown during lay offs, and that's understandable. After a while devs tend to do all work instead of having to deal with other teams to do only one extra step after their work.

But that part of relocation to US. I have many friends(Most people are in this category) who got shafted in office politics and never made it. Even if you do go, you go in L1B, where you can't change jobs and will likely be in EB-2(May be never see GC). These days they don't extend L1B(Thanks to Trump). So its again more or less the service company deal, you return in 3 - 4 years and now you are with non-dev skills.
Thank you for fighting against the FUD.
It's not racism, it's simple market forces. Supply and demand and the local cost of living. Someone living in Ukraine will do just fine on 10% of what a Bay Area dev gets paid.
I can personally attest to this, having hired a small team of Vietnamese engineers to do some freelance hardware and firmware/OS-level work for me.

My somewhat reductive conclusion about remote work is that it boils down to the ability to be an effective writer.

If you're not good at written communication, or you work with people who are not good at it, remote work will be miserable.

People who are not highly fluent in the company's written language or those with some level of dyslexia will struggle. Also some people get frustrated with the more analytic approach required by text, relying instead on spoken rhetoric.

I think even if you're colocated, there are huge benefits to following the remote work practices and improving your written communication. Documenting your work in an issue manager and using chat primarily for communication means no one will miss out, even if someone is sick, a new starter, or on a different team. All these things can make a dev organisation much more effective and break down silos.
Some nice derailleurs here ! The Campagnolo copy is pretty spot on, even on the brand engraving.

I feel we're focusing way too much on this good vs evil debate. Life doesn't work like that, there's always shades of grey. Everyone has their interests.

So, based on this underlying assumption, what does Microsoft by gaining by using this kill switch? Heck, what does it even gain by appearing to threaten people with this kill switch? It's worse that no benefit, it's actively harmful for them.

So, why are we discussing about them this way? They're not irrational.
Interesting detail: look at where they authors are working. This is military research. And I'm not surprised. The problem of having to keep soldiers alert during long phases of sleep deprivation has been around since the early days of modern warfare.
I really love Datomic and it solves so many problems that I usually have when doing application development special in bank and financial context.

We are already using Clojure and I would love to introduce Datomic as well but being a commercial database makes it pretty difficult.

This new setup is sounds cool but I would love something like that on a Kubernetes stack. In the real world Amazon is a no-go in so many situation.

I must say I often found the setup needlessly complicated. There is not much application for making setup and development easy when outside of AWS. No official way to set up of the whole stack with Docker or Kubernetes for example.
The Scale Is Just Unfathomable
I know, right? I've lost track of all the money I've lost from clients going with the lowest bidder over the years. I must be literally hundreds of dollars by now.

A bit of advice: Those cheap guys are not your competition, and those bargain hunter clients are not the ones you're trying to land. Let them all race to the bottom all they want. Maybe one of them will find a dev who doesn't know his value yet, but the rest will get their money's worth. It doesn't concern you.

There is only one of you, and your rate is the same whether you're onsite in the Bay Area or working remote from anywhere else you choose to be.

That mindset has served me well over the years. I'd recommend taking it on board.
What an insult to one of the most impressive communities in open source. Shameful.
The Secret to Fast Subsurface Scattering
With the Greens that might be an issue, but I'd argue that most people who consider themselves represented by the Conservatives will be just as uncomfortable being represented by most unions - the very concept of a union is firmly left wing, and many of the large unions in the UK are politically left wing enough that they're a key support base for Corbyn. They're not supporting Labour for fun - they're supporting it because Labour is he closest to the unions goals. If members don't like the goals of the union then they should find another union that represents them better.

I’m wondering why Project Detroit, and the background given in the Jim Laskey preso about it, isn’t mentioned in the JEP.
I’m sure it would help quell the outrage.
That project will basically be Nashorn compatible, with better performance and ES6 and Node support.
I wonder how it relates to Graal and TruffleJS though. Seems a bit left hand/right hand from Oracle to have competing projects like this.

Honestly, I have no idea about Firebase or AppEngine in China. It might entirely be FUD. But, if what you imply is true, then Kubernetes is probably a good solution for your goals.

Run your application on GKE and grow your company. When it comes time to move into China, add a cluster on a cloud provider there.
That's a valid argument against GitHub, since they open source a ton of code, but you can't run GitHub yourself.

That's not a valid argument against GitLab, which offers you the option to host it yourself, and then builds features on top of the free version.

While GitLab EE isn't released using an open source license, its source is publicly available and you're allowed to make modifications to it, satisfying 2/4 essential freedoms of free software, as defined by FSF[0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/

For security I make Apparmor profiles for each script. I think the module system and NPM is what made Node.JS popular. And personally I like function passing style aka. callbacks, Promises and async/await looks more terse but is actually more complicated and prone to errors. I also don't like that TypeScript extend the JavaScript language and ads a compilation step to it, it's much better to add doctype like comments and you would get the best of both worlds, although I don't think type-checking is needed if you already do testing. For me static typing is mainly for performance, like in Dart, you can't simple make JavaScript more performant without it. With TypeScript you have "performance optimization" but without the performance benefit. If your code needs type annotations for others to understand what it does you need to use better names. The type annotations are for the compiler. Auto-complete and parameter hinting can be done via inference. And public parameters and methods should have documentation.

I am indeed. I think they got some press coverage three or four years ago. I personally discovered them by watching a documentary on YouTube that featured their technology and discussed its future.

I know that they recently raised some capital to invest in increasing sales. However I think a large proportion of their target market are grid scale and remote outposts for telecommunications/industrial applications.

That could be because their residential solution still cant beat something like the Tesla powerwall on price. However, I believe when investing in something that you expect to have longevity in the 20-30 years range it's better to go with something a little more pricey that is proven to last that long without degrading of performance, so on that point the flow battery wins.

It's like with solar panels, you can pay a premium upfront and get panels that will be producing the same output in ten years time like my parents did, or skimp on price and end up with a 30-40% reduction over the same time period like their neighbour.

I took some of that once for an overnight deployment at work. It's good stuff. No headaches like I would have got if I'd been drinking coffee all night.
Yeah.

We should be careful with generalizations; and it is easy to go overboard in a short general sentence (like I did).

However there is such a thing as differences in work culture. And it is very reasonable to talk about differences amongst countries. And on the mentioned scales (bureaucracies and hierarchies) Denmark and India sit on each their extremes.

That India's IT-industry has been driven by external demand is just a fact as far as I know.
This looks like a Godsend :)

The only qualm I have is it being only on AWS.

Other than that this enables just what I could use right about now!
Still it's a lot harder to convince a, lets say, Chinese court to order that kind of surveillance on a local company over an allegation of a crime that happened half a world away. Add a couple more vpn layers over multiple international jurisdictions and it's a huge effort that can easily take years.

Just as there are powerful interest in solar and wind.

Edit: To the downvoters. What are you disagreeing with? Are you claiming that the wind and solar industry doesn't have special interest and that they aren't powerful especially when you look at the support it has politically?
It's not actually teaching what happens in the Thymus and bone marrow, to be honest. When a T-cell is generated, certain sections of its DNA are mutated so that it can respond to foreign proteins.

However, the process of mutation is inherently random. What the 'teaching' in the thymus and bone marrow do is that if these cells do not respond to foreign antigens, or if they respond to the body's own antigens, the T-Cell is killed.

EDIT: Damn. Sarnath'ed.

Anytime someone criticize India, people always come to defend it. As an Indian I disagree with you completely. It gives me anxiety when I think about dealing with employee of another office.

For the average consumer who wants a VPN, it's risky to only use a hardware device (transparent VPN) since there is no protection against IP leaks caused by the OS or something else messing with the routing tables. Maybe as a network-based last layer of defense, but not primary. I'm sure you've encountered Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections deprioritizing and causing routes to flip without the user's knowledge. How do you deal with this?

For businesses who want to a secure PnP solution to connect multiple sites together with a transport protected by hardware keys, sounds like a great solution. No need to shell out for bulky hardware VPN gear.
There's no way to know that, either. One of the first VPN services, Anonymizer, morphed into a CIA operation. And Tor, after all, is still heavily funded by the US government. However, as cynical as I've become, I believe that the US freedom vibe is more than PR.

But anyway, there's no way to know. So your best bet is nested VPN chains. Including providers from jurisdictions where cooperation is less likely. Insorg is Russian, for example. Also, AirVPN, IVPN and Riseup have said that they'll shut down before they'll log.
This is the part where someone points out why I'm completely wrong:

> solar roofs should come with batteries

The way I understand it, batteries tend to be bad for the environment if/when they need to be replaced, because often they are improperly recycled and/or there are no adequate facilities for that.

If this is correct, do we really want to have more of them around? Wouldn't an environmentally-friendly(ish) central plant be better in the long run?
This is about Datomic, not really Clojure. So if you don't have experience with Datomic Clojure understanding would not really help you.

Seems to me this is a combination of Datomic and Amazon Lambda to deploy programs that can use Datomic without all surrounding deployment problems.

An an employer who allows people to work remotely. My experience has been that some employees cannot handle the responsibility and their output drops a lot if they're not behind their desk. Others are fine / better. (Because I found it hard to tell some people they're not allowed to work remotely, while others can, I ended up replacing the ones who performed poorly when working remote.)

My point is that you cannot really argue for or against remote work without taking into account that your employees might not all be suitable for that work style. (But if you're building a new organisation then you can pick the right people from the start)
Club mate is the drink of choice in the start up community in Berlin. I've made the mistake of drinking that in the evening a couple of times and regretted that at 4am by being wide awake and unproductive the next day. If you are not familiar, mate tea which this is based on contains a form of caffeine that is particularly potent. It's like drinking multiple espresso shots. Don't drink this if you have blood pressure issues.

In general, I've learned to moderate my caffeine intake and restrict myself to mornings only. The more you consume, the more you need of it to work at all, and the more likely you are to have side effects like feeling tired, having poor sleep rythm, headaches, etc.

When used in moderation it's a great tool for getting yourself productive after a lazy weekend on a monday morning. However, if you feel tired all the time, stop drinking coffee and get a few nights of good sleep in.
We need more open source datalog implementations with disk based storage.

I have my hopes now on Mozilla's Mentat [1], but it seems to still have quite some way to go, and also I wouldn't mind something similar implemented in Go too ... At least something simple, allowing to start working with the datalog paradigm for expressing logic and views.

Decentralized is not really the problem here: it's more about the links between each installation and the surplus.

If you know Clojure and AWS I really don’t think it is poorly communicated. There’s a limit to that idiom of simplicity and understanding being correlated.

This was a walk through of the mechanics. The TL;DR is if you are comfortable enough in AWS and Clojure implementing your system in a scalable and simple and wholistic way just got a bunch more accessibile.

We are investing heavily in the Clojure-ecosystem (but not yet Datomic). It seems Cognitect is strongly headed into a direction which involves some kind of holistic vision about a new stack, but they don't seem to explicitly communicate this vision anywhere.
