My current platform is Java/CockroachDB based. The entire solution is bundled into zip/tar file and booted off a single jar (including the DB). Yeah ease of deployment/operation has been a strong focus on my project so far. Packaging that into a DEB/RPM, AWS AMI or Docker Container is straightforward at the moment.

One of the things I've been wondering is, SaaS vs not. I've been focusing on a solution that can be deployed by a customer how ever they need (inside secure environments, bring your own infra), but that may be a bad assumption on my part.
You don't even need to do it secretly, just say it's the next step. See: Uber

This hit a little too close to home. Interestingly enough, those professors at my alma mater who were abysmal at teaching and lecturing but pulling millions in grants listened to the course feedback cards. They took it to heart that we had been uninterested* in the way the course was presented, couldn't grasp the material from the lessons, etc. We could see how their teaching methods evolved as we had them for upper level courses and electives.

According to interns, those are some of the best professors that are currently on staff.

Irrelevant note: I originally used disinterested, but those words do not have the same meaning:

> An uninterested person is bored, unconcerned, or indifferent; a disinterested person is impartial, unbiased, or has no stake in the outcome.*[0]

"Case in point: the prevalence of using containers to run software without having to deal with conflicts created by trying to intermingle everyone's dependencies,"

That's a problem on GNU/Linux; it's not a problem on illumos or BSD based operating systems. Don't use GNU/Linux or package 3rd party and unbundled software in /opt, configuration in /etc/opt and configure the software to use /var/opt (as per the FHS specification) and the problem goes away.

It's the clueless developer problem, not an OS packaging problem.

I am a 19 year old dropout looking to work with Blockchain. Read My Story!
Hi,

So, here we go.

My name is Ankit and I am a way too ambitious 19 year old individual who just dropped out of college to work and learn stuff from the best people in business. Coming to what I have done, I started working with companies in my first semester itself in whatever position I could find and then just hustled my way up there.

My first job as an Intern at a start up called Frankly.me in the first semester of college when I was 17 years old and after that I worked as a Content Associate for three months at a startup called The Creative Key where I learned Blogging. After this, in the my 2nd Year of college, bored, I started working as an intern at a startup called Darwin Labs where I was promoted to the position of Entrepreneur In Residence after working two months. In my tenure as an EIR, I was given the responsibility of running pilot projects for our business ideas. One of my major accomplishment when I singlehandedly curated a community of more than a thousand influencers and managed it. Along with this, I ended up doing B2B Sales as well, where I closed two clients as well. After this, I left for a company named Make Awesome Ads to handle growth. After this, the blockchain bug bit me and since then, I have been interacting with people across the industry and was working at a Darwin Labs where I was writing content from PR articles to Whitepapers and helping them navigate operationally in few aspects.

All in all, what I wish to say here I am open to a flexible working environment where I will be able to work across a variety of departments.

Meanwhile, here are a few articles which I have written and published on Hacker Noon, The Next Web and Entrepreneur.

"Containers have much greater flexibility than OS packaging: use different libc library easily,"

If you have to use a different libc, that's a kernel engineering problem. On a real UNIX, libc is an integral part of the entire system, is not required to come from another party and is carefully engineered as part of a whole. A good libc requires no alternatives. Case in point: BSD or illumos based operating systems.

"Containers are much easier to use than OS packaging:"

They might be, but that does not make them better, nor does it make them a correct solution, especially if one is running on an illumos based operating system which actually has true containers in form of Solaris zones. Docker is a solution to a non-existent problem, a problem which wouldn't be there if one of illumos-based operating systems is used as a substrate (refer to vmadm(1M) and imgadm(1M) manual pages for a detailed explanation on why that is so[1][2]).

"there are tons of Stack Overflow answers,"

That is symptomatic of poor or lacking manual pages in the system, which in turn is symptomatic of poor or non-existent system engineering practices. Either way, it's an indicator of insufficiently documented as well as insufficiently integrated software: any time one mentions "Stack Overflow", one has lost, because "Stack Oveflow" is full of answers which work, but aren't correct on a system engineering or architectural level, and most who use it to solve their problems don't have the wherewithal to judge that, or they wouldn't be there in the first place. It's a very vicious cycle and a serious, systemic problem with long term consequences detrimental to the IT industry.

Great to see the Guardian referencing back to Spinvox here, whose speech-to-text service turned out to be largely run be sweatshop workers in the Phillipines; and a warning from history: This shtick works as long as you can transition to AI. If not, then the service will become increasingly flaky until the business collapses.
A few ideas:

1) Regulations by default should be capped at organization size or industry. Minimum wage is a great example of this, great for 25% of companies/industries, terrible for the rest - its hard to measure jobs that are never created as a result.

2) A powerful, well financed agency whose mandate is to audit all regulations, monitor and capture data regarding it's function, and review their ultimate utility to society as a whole. The vast majority of harmful regulations were designed in a different era and for a different evolved market. Markets also adapt to regulations as well naturally reducing utility.

This agency would have the power to temporarily end regulations until congress reviews it and either updates it or ends it officially.

3) Time limits on regulations forcing them to be renewed every x years, requiring data to show it's helping, not harming society

"It's easy to dismiss it as "Less than 10% of your tax burden - what's the big deal?""

My heuristic is that a percentage of a percentage is quite small, in general. It's fundamentally different from $500, which could be a lot of money or not depending on context. Percentages scale.
Because 1. It's great idea? and 2. May be a lifesaver in many other use cases? and 3. Is a good example of tech used to help, not just take? and 4. Beats watching TV?

If you couldn't have a single platform with useful range, you could just make many platforms each carrying 100s of missiles instead. Each missile could itself have a clustered warhead. These platforms would still have superior maneuverability to jet fighters, and you could put unshielded nuclear engines on them as Russia is doing right now with their new cruise missiles https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/best-bad-idea-ever-w...

This is something that's simply not possible to do if you have a human pilot who requires massive shielding and can only handle small Gs.
I like the term “artificial artificial intelligence” to describe this model
What do you even mean by "Von Neumann machines, no matter how complex, will never achieve intelligence."? If you mean machines that self-replicate, then there're plenty counterexamples around already (https://www.xkcd.com/387/). If you mean computers using the von Neumann architecture, then that's weirdly specific, since modern computers are at best vaguely inspired by that model, and GPUs in particular work very differently.

The election integrity gold standard is paper ballots cast at poll sites tabulated on site when the polls close. Aka the Australian Ballot (private voting, public counting).

Any deviation from that lessens election integrity. Which may be okay, because maybe the trade off makes it worthwhile. For instance, absentee ballots and early voting enfranchises people. But the there is no free lunch with voting systems and these decisions must be measured.

The human ear.

From what I can hear, most of what's being done is selective filtering. Leaving behind some artifacts and much less fidelity. Similar feats by human engineers have been around for decades. Analog filters/Fourier can be used to put frequency segments into channels (e.g. vocoding), then keeping the useful channels.
For the majority of the consumer, which is 80% of the market, 10% of market are nerds and professional each. Of which many of those are price sensitive, and the $999 MBA is the entry level machine which Apple offers. And as of right now, it is ridiculously over priced even by Apple standards.
There's actually not an up-to-date ZFS FUSE port on any platform, at this point - all the OpenZFS ports are native to their respective kernels, and while people have kicked around updating/making a new FUSE port for a while, it's not been a priority for anyone.
People replying to you are missing the point. What's missing from OpenID is adoption.
I totally agree, but I thought it was funny that you invoked the concept of local minima - I have only ever heard that concept in terms of local maxima, ie locally-but-perhaps-not-globally maximal productivity, comfort zone, etc. I assume you are referring to a locally/globally minimal resistance, time taken, or some such?

Anyway I just thought it interesting that you might make valid reference to a very useful concept I've heard and used many times, and yet in your expression the "polarity", as such, is totally inverted! And yet I understood you anyway. A computer would be totally confused.
The USA also has the separate hurdle of registering to vote. Administered by the States. YMMV.

No one would object to voter ID requirements if it wasn't weaponized to disenfranchise voters.

The fix is automatic, universal voter registration. Just like every other mature democracy.
I was referring to that crippled subsystem with the fullscreen Start Menu/Screen and the touchscreen-compatible apps that launched from it, separate from the "full" "desktop" experience, where you had two versions of IE, Outlook, Skype etc. It was also all you could access on the now-abandoned Windows RT.

Is that dichotomy still present in Windows 10?

See, it's a confusing exercise to even figure out what their sub-platforms are supposed to be called. Apparently they are now "Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps (formerly Windows Store apps and Metro-style apps)" [0]

The yield curve has been flattening for a while now, especially for longer term (10Y, 20Y, 30Y T-Bills) securities [0, 1, 2].

As confidence in the government (i.e through a trade war) dips, as interest rate hikes become more of a reality, and as increasing amount of companies come forth with weirdly worded statements about their 'strong financials' and 'consistent growth', everyone is running for the hills.

No one needs to toot their horn when they're on a bull run, everyone can see it, and everyone is on their own run. It's only when no one can see you're having (or you will have) 'strong financials' that you need to announce it.

And it seems like you need someone to announce their strong position to keep the heard mentality of a bull run going on.

I very well might be wrong.

They are not the same features, delegates and lambdas are very different even if they look similar, and go far beyond just event handling. Also what language is perfect at version 1? It's good that the language keeps evolving and gets better and beginners can learn just fine.

Are you stuck on .NET Framework? If you arent then .NET Core already solves all of the maintenance problems by being deployed completely self-contained. It's a similar problem with many other language toolchains as well and .NET Framework at least saves work by being a single install that can be automated away with group policies. Enterprises postponing software updates is a problem with the enterprise, not the framework.

I think the original question is pretty good one. Wish more time had been spent answering it directly instead of having to wade through all the replies to prove who's is bigger (brains) and who is more right.

The message is clear to invest the time upfront to learn it. What resources do people recommend and does it make sense to focus on specific framework?
That's cherry picking at best. Have you been to Anaheim, Stanton, Santa Ana, the entire agricultural belt of California?
The problems are before and after the TLS tunnel.

I've seen a BigCorp load balancer / web firewall log the first 1KB of each HTTP POST body into a permanent archive. A typical login submission is much smaller than that. Also in some networks the TLS connection is terminated by a frontend server and backend communication is plaintext HTTP.

While these examples are obviously bad practice, having your requests signed and not leak user passwords would easily nullify their impact.
Then it would no longer be oauth2? Standards exist to prevent deviations. How do you manage signing keys and distribute them? What signature scheme,encoding,etc... Should be used?
A few years ago I did the rounds of a bunch of schools in the Bay Area giving talks to CS departments. By far the most passionate students and the smartest questions came from a community college I spoke at in the East Bay. They had so many questions that the planned 1 hour talk ended up taking 2 hours, and nobody left even though it was the end of the day. They had also set up their own after hours meet-ups to teach themselves parallel programming. It helped that their teacher was highly inspiring and passionate too.

In contrast, the university students just felt a lot less interested, and in one case they had to be promised credits just to get them to show up.

Google did that to a big chunk of the cutting-edge robotics industry. In 2013, they acquired a bunch of robotics companies. Most of them were never heard from again. Ones that had customers, such as Bot and Dolly, were shut down. For several years, many people thought Google had some big secret project in the works. No. They were going nowhere. Now they've sold many of the companies off to Softbank in Japan.

Keep it functional and beautiful. If you had to choose one, choose functionality over design. I believe that’s what this article is essentially saying. Bad design hurts functionality, in that case it’s better to have little to no design at all. If you can keep it functional while applying beautiful design do it by all means.
