Currently you do not have the option to do it yourself. For now what Station does is it run an algorithm that detects the apps you use the most often and only keep 8 tabs open at any given time. We believe it's best if we can do it intelligently rather than manually. But we also see that some power users would like to be given control over that. Ultimately if we do a good job at doing it intelligently, there shouldn't be any need to do it manually. It's still a work in progress.
Half truths. Who cares if http was invented at cern so many years ago?

NOW it's pretty dominant. Mobile? How are those Nordic countries doing? Seems to me it's Google and Apple.
Yes good point, we will update it!
A personal project might be something that is useful in your day to day life (e.g., a notes app, todo list, or calendar), or something that you want to be able to show to fiends/family when you see them in person (e.g. a photo album, or something related to a mutual hobby).
I read Rework and Remote (previous Jason/DHH books) an although full of common-sense ideas that I applauded, they were quite similar in terms of content.

This new book seems to be kind of a mix of those previous books.

> he is the focus for a cult of personality that has made Tesla what it is

I disagree. What made Tesla what it is was the ability to design and bring to the market an electric car that people wanted to buy and actually prefered over equivalent ICE offerings, and pulling this off while competing against one of the most competitive and entrenched global industries.

They promised and they delivered. That's what made Tesla what it is.

Everything else is just self-promotion and actually erodes Tesla's accomplishments and goodwill.
No. Incorrect. Wildly inaccurate.

We have made certain observations that are assumed to be the result of matter falling into a "Black Hole". We do not have any observations that show us this as a fact. Read the observational material very carefully.

Go back over the last few decades and see how many times it is declared "we have seen x for the first time", where x is the is the same entity each time, in this particlualr case "Black Holes".

Men (women, children) want to believe that they have a certain handle on the truth and reality. What is very unpleasant to most is not having that certainty. This applies to all people across the board and even more so to those whose expertise is dependent on their being right. Many scientists are in this category.

It is often difficult to sit in the place of recognising that we just don't know. We have some ideas which, on the evidence, give a handle to investigate further, but we should understand that our understanding can be turned on its head.

The evidence for the existence of something is there, yes. But, is it a "Black Hole" of the theory presented, hmmm, that is unknown and for the time being, unknowable. As we cannot get out there and actually do the appropriate experiments to test this. We can only do remote observations and these can be easily misinterpreted.

>>Nobody except cranks or extreme contrarians seriously disputes the theory these days.

The problem here with this view is that it has been "cranks" and "extreme contrarians" who have brought about the biggest changes in science. There are Nobel Prize winners amongst them. All views about the nature of our universe should have those who dispute it. This should spur on our investigations into the nature of the universe. If we are unable to handle someone disputing our models and theories of the universe, then what are we doing? We are not serious about expanding our knowledge, we are serious about our reputations and being right.

The biggest problem for science today is that people don't trust it because it keeps getting things wrong, yet all the while saying that it is the only source of truth.

Science is one of a group of tools we can and should use to investigate the universe around. It has its limitations as does all the other tools we have and we need to recognise that though this tool is helpful in understanding, it is not the tool that gives us the truth.
If your budget allows for it, I'd recommend getting a Unifi Security Gateway (USG) along with a Unifi AP AC Pro or AP AC Lite depending on your Wifi needs.

My experience with these Ubiquiti Networks devices has been great so far. The APs are extremely stable and it's easy and reliable to extend Wifi networks by adding new devices later if needed. Also, I personally prefer one device doing one thing, i.e. having the AP not do the routing. The USG will act as a DHCP and firewall in this setup.

With regard to the admin experience: With the Ubiquiti devices, you don't have an admin interface on the device. You use a controller which runs on a client or server that you already have. The controller software is sophisticated. You could run it on a docker host on your NAS or on your local laptop or desktop. This way you can manage the whole network without having to rely on one device.

Several billions of such chips are shipped per year. Many established segments are still moving from 8 bit to 32 bit micros, and new segments are still growing rapidly. So shipments of Cortex-Mx devices is likely to grow quite a bit still.

One thing I find fascinating about the article is that it's assumed the cleverness was the code written to automate. This is incorrect; the cleverness is in noticing when a task can be automated. Typically, the code itself is trivial.

I have told my work more than once that if they wanted to get the most out of me they should put me on the "front line" for a month or two, and let me decide what needs to be automated. It has always been laughed off as me being cute.
> That's the Tesla situation. Product is OK. Customers are enthusiastic. Production is in trouble. Cost and labor hours per car are way too high. The financial situation isn't good. That's usually when the board and stockholders put in an operations-oriented CEO.

Except that part of Tesla's funding is the preorder cash.

If Musk goes and 50% of the preorders cancel and demand their money back, Tesla pretty much shuts down, no?
This could be something built into the hypothetical framework I mentioned. As in, the default quoting template for your industry has x% upfront payment terms, and you deselect that option after a strong warning. All my quotes asked for 20% up front but then I almost never bothered invoicing it until I was finished, so I would need something that auto-invoiced the 20% when the client clicked "Accept Quote"... ;`(

Then the time-tracking component would strongly warn against commencing work until the invoice was paid, etc.

So, basically, a very opinionated business framework web app.

Women Empowerment – Where they stand and What can they do
Status of women in India, the unsatisfactory truth.

The multiple schemes put forth by the government of India has increased literacy and education in women. Unfortunately, the more educated the women are, the less likely they are to enter the workforce. So when educated women marry educated men, the husband’s income is sufficient to cover household expenses and there is no immediate need for the wives to earn. The current economic situation is also to be considered as many men and women believe that men deserve to have the first choice from the few job opportunities available.

A large amount of the job opportunities available in rural areas are in the labour sector for which many of these educated women are overqualified for. There is also the issue of permission faced by married women. As societal beliefs dictate, a married woman is unable to go out to work unless she has permission from her husband and in-laws, which is very unlikely to happen as the social status of a family in India depends on the husband being able to provide for her. She is expected to stay at home and look after the children and ensure the smooth functioning of the household.

Whereas women in urban areas are frustrated with the double standards they face in the corporate sector. They would rather not work than having to face the sexual harassment and inequality. A lot of them are also worried for their safety as violence against women in India is 6 times higher than the global best scores. This makes it difficult for them to work night-shifts or work overtime, which puts them at a disadvantage. A lot of these offices are not women-friendly. There is also the issue of ‘sex-based segregation’ in workplaces. Women miss out on many opportunities as they are seen unsuitable for the position on account of just being a woman.

The question is “How can we help them work?”.
There are lots of successful domain specific graphical "programming languages". FME, Dynamo, UE Blueprint, Pure Data, LabView, various shader constructing tools etc.

The problem is that general purpose programming is too abstract to fit nicely into a visual metaphor, but as long as you can narrow your scope enough there is plenty of room graphical programming.
Let's look forward for .NET Core 3.0 and CoreRT: This would make it very competitive to Go not only being both native and self-contained but also going ahead in desktop-based, GUI programming.
A graphical linking of function blocks is commonly used to configure process control systems, historically DCS style systems but now with IEC 61131 one of the five languages used by PLC's is function block diagram.

Some of these systems can be reasonably complicated, we are talking oil refineries, LNG processing plants, large mineral processing facilities, chemical plants etc.

The reasons they are programmed this way are many and varied, many historical/legacy, but essentially much of it boils down to limiting variability of the language and creating a "bridge" language that the specialist engineers focusing on the chemistry of the process can more easily discuss and work with.

This probably isn't changing in a hurry as the industry is also very slow to adapt. The sort of facilities are plant worth tens of billions of dollars and multi-millions of dollars lost per trip or hour of downtime. Owners are understandably risk adverse to experimenting with a new paradigm that may work a little better, but may also create problems.

Additionally, plant owners factor in availability and decades of experience in the existing pool of labor that has the specialist skills related to optimisation and real time control of the process as the primary value add.

I'm going to revisit the article later, because the first few paragraphs threw up many red flags, coming across as someones with a chip on their shoulder that sought out to "prove" themselves correct. Hopefully this is a misunderstanding on my part, but I recommend others attempting persuasion to avoid such signaling.
If you design your app properly you won't ever need to run SQL queries by hand. This is a bad practice and it is good that k8s discourages such behaviour.
I agree with your other points though.

It’s funny because I would say that Chef has yet to fully re-learn what the CFEngine community knew.

> One of the conclusions was that, while the world of things was heretofore designed with humans in mind, in "the near future" (i.e. about where we are now), "stuff" would be designed for "machine-first" use, rather than "human-first" use.

This.

Just to provide an example, humanity already has self-driving cars for decades, and they are deployed and are extensively used in public transoortation. The trick to solve this problem was to not force human-designed solutions to an automation problem.

Thus, instead of trying to automate vehicles to run on roads, we have vehicles running on railway tracks.

Problem solved.
You have no idea what you're talking about to make a blanket statement like that.
Cortex-M is still highly relevant in embedded development. While some double-digit Cortex-M cores theoretically exist (Cortex-M23, -M33, and -M35P), there are virtually no parts in production which use them; the current state of the art is Cortex-M7.
The message may be heard, but putting it into practice is the more difficult task in my opinion. Changing a whole company's (either big or small) policy regarding meetings/working hours/etc... is quite a challenge

Still, the new book's cover may attract an audience that is not familiar with DHH/Jason/Basecamp's opinions on work/life balance.

This. Time and again. The number of people who adopt complicated stuff like Kubernetes for what is essentially a couple of web servers and a database is too high. They're Google wannabies that thinks in Google's scale but forget that it is utterly unnecessary in their case.

I know a bio scientist who spent two months working on containers and Docker and what not, for what are essentially independent shell scripts that are best run as batch jobs. I spoke with him in length, and he realized at the end of the day that what he really needed was better understanding of standard *nix processes and not containers...

Yes at first glance from a UI perspective it's essentially what it is. A friend of mine often jokes about it and tells me "ok so you just took the tabs and put them on the left" :) We started from that bias in the interface but we are building features that really differentiate us from traditional web browsers: a Quick-Switch that allows you to switch across all your apps (kind of like Alfred), a notification center that unifies all of your applications, a performance algorithm that kills tabs you don't use to preserve memory & CPU usage, a unified app store for teams, etc.
> In order to ensure that changes to systems can be attributed to responsible individuals, there is usually some kind of system that tracks and audits changes. One person will raise a ‘change record’, which will usually involve filling out an enormous form, and then this change must be ‘signed off’ by one or more other person to ensure that changes don’t happen without due oversight.

And in any other planet, we call that a 'Pull Request.' My first real tech job was a community college that really bought into the whole ITIL framework. Important changes typically had to go through a Change Management Board, which met weekly. Meanwhile, key authentication systems involved passing passwords from PHP to perl to bash to vbscript in cleartext, in such a way that dollar signs and other string interpolation sigils would be processed, and therefore were banned. The person who wrote this kludge is now in charge of IT security for the college. And there was no version control to speak of anywhere, definitely no puppet or chef or ansible. It worked, but there were pretty much monthly fuckups along the lines of 'and then the utility truck backed into our power distribution cabinet' or 'the SAN vendor's technician mentioned this is the third time this week he's been on site with a client to deploy this emergency stability patch,' or 'the new guy upgraded the antivirus running on our databases, and we can't roll back because nobody has the old installer anymore' or my personal favorite: 'this position requires oncall duties 24/7/365.'
And there's nothing wrong with that. Eternal growth (or worse, dominating a market) shouldn't be the goal, sustainability should.

Well, for an interesting definition of "solves". As far as I can tell, it effectively introduce a new (implementation-)language, the Truffle language and then adds implementations of language front-ends that compile to this Truffle language.

Which can be functionally adequate for some, maybe many use-cases, but is not the same as actual interoperability.
Good question, our own dev team would love to have that too and it's definitely something we are considering :)
I went through a bunch of diagraming options. draw.io is 2D diagraming only. There's also Lucidchart and few others. One other option seems to provide more than flat diagramming, but it's fixed to isometric projection (so, it is flat in the end).

I was also inspired by these diagrams from Amazon [1]. In Stackdraft, you press V key and toggle between 2D and 3D. You have full control over the point of view :). You can also create an animated presentation, like this one [2] - that one was just to show off a few AWS 3D models, so it's quite simplistic, but you get the idea :).

> First, it was a mistake to use XML.

I don't see that mistake as a serious problem. A protocol is actually a specification of a data model and valid transitions between states. How that protocol is encoded doesn't change anything other than the ability to use currently existing infrastructure. Specifying JSON schemas for XMPP is a trivial task.
>Being a CEO doesn't mean you're the boss. It means you serve everyone, from employees to customers to shareholders, and are responsible for every single thing that happens.

Golden parachutes ensure that this responsibility means almost nothing. CEOs have driven whole companies to the ground, losing the jobs of thousands, and got their fat check in the end. Heck, even white collar crime goes largely unpunished.
Steve Jobs stole $5k from his best friend Steve Wozniak https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/steve-wozniak-cried-jobs-kept-atar...

He denied, for many years, that he was a father of his daughter and, while a millionaire, didn't support his daughter or her mother financially.

He was investigated by SEC for, wait for it, securities fraud (stock options backdating including his 7.5 million stock options). He wasn't charged. His CFO and General Counsel weren't so lucky. https://www.cnet.com/news/how-jobs-dodged-the-stock-option-b...

He certainly was an actual frequent drug user, not a one time marijuana puffer.

And many more https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-jerk-2011-10#ever...

This is not to say that one jerk justifies another but to point the power of narrative.

Musk has already achieved more than Jobs (I put creating 5 companies and dominating fricking space industry, from nothing, in less than 2 decades a bit higher than overseeing development of iPod and iPhone).

But make a few mis-steps on twitter, report it nationally by click hungry press and suddenly he's irresponsible, reckless, drug addicted man child who has to be reigned in by adults.
I think Basecamp reflects what happens when smart, sensible people without a chip on their shoulder, simply live their life.

They're not stepping on heads to get ahead. They're not in the business of 'motivating' unhappy people who don't like what they do, into fulfilling quotas.

It's great. It reminds me of this coffee-shop that charges 10$ for a slice of pie. It's not busy, polite service, tasty pie. All the while I am well aware that such places will always remain niche.

I can't help but feel a little sad, and yet, everything seems to point to people being fine with McDonalds, Kardashians, and the opposite of what Basecamp preaches.
