I think its worth noting that BBC Radio 4 is deemed sufficiently important that checking for its broadcast is one of the tests that the UK nuclear deterrent submarines use to determine if civilisation as we know it has ended.

Yes, I do complain about the BBC occasionally (e.g. I was genuinely shocked as to how partisan they were during the Scottish Independence Referendum) but overall I love their service and am quite happy to pay my license fee.

> It appears that bash `printf` wraps coreutils printf "with ARGUMENTs converted to proper type first," according to the manual. I guess that's how the "%509s" specifier is able to work without any args.

Actually, coreutils printf follows POSIX/SUS which states that "Any extra b, c, or s conversion specifiers shall be evaluated as if a null string argument were supplied".[1] So that trick will work for many printf(1) implementations (including both bash and coreutils).

Bash printf(1) doesn't have any hooks or wrappers, but it does parse the format string to determine how to convert arguments before calling libc vsnprintf(3). If you are interested in the details, check out how %d/%i is handled in bash[2] and coreutils[3].

Is this true? I only know western history, but between Rome and every successor state, inflation is a short term fix and usually leads to the end of a government and currency(over centuries)
This isn't really true for OCaml. I daily compile large OCaml programs which are linked to C programs, we run valgrind on them, they are fully integrated with GCC and autotools and so on, ship in tarballs to end users who can run ‘./configure && make’ etc. In case that all sounds very Unix-specific, I have also in the past cross-compiled OCaml programs on Linux and Windows and Mac OS X at the same time.

Decades are not very long for debt. People usually hold bonds for decades.

The issue will come in when the cost to pay interest exceeds revenue. We would need debt to pay back debt, it will be THEN that we have hyper inflation.

This is terrible testing practice. Instead of testing behavior by creating and interacting with associated objects, it's testing syntax and method definitions. You should never test implementation, you should test behavior. These tests can be made to pass by creating methods with these names that don't actually behave properly at all.
Please forgive me if this has been covered. AFAIK it has not.

Has anyone worked out how this will play nicely in corporate environments? i.e. avoiding leaking even more internal names, resolving internal systems first, etc?

I ask, because I know that most companies barely manage this on one browser, much less all of them. I am not in IT, but I am occasionally required to assist them and sometimes that requires capturing DNS requests for entire networks.
To me, this is a strange document.

> In particular, I really wouldn't want web clients communicating directly with our (multiple) ERP systems

I don't see where I stated they needed to directly communicate with the ERP systems directly. There's still complex state that's being communicated to the client. If you're handling the visual aspect of this purely on the server, that pretty needless and costly. Costly to render, costly to maintain.
1 Million responses per second on a 8 core 2 Ghz mahine means you have 16,000 clock cycles to formulate a response to each query.

Considering that [1] claims 1.43 cycles per byte for Chacha20, and assuming requests & responses are typically 200 bytes (they will compress well with HTTP header compression), the actual encryption part of https only consumes 1.43 * 200 = 286 cycles.

The remaining 15,716 clock cycles should be plenty to read the actual responses from the cache and parse the HTTP/2 request bytes.

Obviously all of the above assumes you design your infrastructure purely for performance. Writing everything in Python and NodeJS might suddenly burn up all those 15,716 clock cycles!

This sounds like a large part of the reason is you deliver the code to others, but don't want to deliver the tool you used to make the code. This makes sense to me.

For the other cases you gave, that sounds like what Interfaces were made for. :) Granted, I think we are in a world where tooling not necessarily requiring language constructs is a better place.

Regardless, if you are seeing such success, I would be greatly interested in seeing you open up that tool.

But even better, there are people other than device manufacturers supporting them--which means better drivers, because they aren't motivated by bare profit to ship a minimally functional driver ASAP and reassign all the programmers to model+1. This is why upstreaming is a good thing.

Then of course things like bonuses. I've never had a bonus at any job I've worked at in 17 years of W2 employment. Not once. In fact, I've never even had an annual cost of living increase just a 'merit based increase' at some jobs which is almost always less than inflation.
Okay. What about hardware that works better on Linux? Why do you assume that this issue strictly favors Windows?
I like this as a great starter list. When I joined my first startup 8 years ago, I didn’t know to ask basically any of these questions. I just assumed I’d work hard and get a Lamborghini some day (only half joking).

On the fundraising side, I’d add, “What is your fundraising steategy” when talking to the founders. This massively changes potential value calculations in terms of equity. I know some founders who are focused on not raising funds and pure profitability, others who are focused on growth by any means. Part of the calculus here is that by not shooting for more fundraising rounds, the founders may be signaling that they won’t be selling anytime soon. In that case, you should look to understand what your exercise rights are for your options. Do you have to exercise within 90 days, or is there a grace period?
I've been thinking about low-friction options for getting a sense of the engineering quality. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that technical debt and bad software development practices are a top concern.

Being quite senior now, I'd feel comfortable asking:

1 - To see their CI dashboard

2 - To see a sample of their production systems stdout & stderr

3 - Asking to review a recent non-trivial commit (with the person/people who wrote it)

4 - If you're interviewing remotely for an on-site position, finding out if they have an open office

5 - Finding out how they do deploys / devops
HTTP adds latency for the first request to a server, since you will have to do the 1-RTT certificate and key exchange before sending your HTTP request.

For many use-cases, that penalty will be paid on every request rather than just the first request, because many DNS resolution libraries aren't designed to have persistent state, so every time the library is used, it will have to set up a new connection to the server from scratch.
In the medical world, treatable is very different from curable.

> to just get entirely new radiator valves, rather than trying to remove the manual knob on their existing radiator valves and replace it with an electronically actuated "knob"

Replacing the knob is a safe operation that cannot leak water. I could do that on all radiators in a flat without ever running the risk of causing a leak. Replacing the valve would require opening the water circuit, thus you'd first need to turn of pressure, which may or may not be possible (think: apartment building). Replacing the valve may also not be allowed for people that rent a flat.

Law enforcement's inaction on discovery of Neo-Nazi cell via Atomwaffen insider
Cars are very expensive ($30k on average), and their production is a huge use of crude oil and water and electricity. What you seem to be advocating (and maybe I'm reading this wrong) is that people buy multiple cars, one small fuel efficient everyday driver, and one bigger more powerful vehicle for the 5% of the time they need something bigger than a Fiat. Humans are heavy, cargo is heavy, trailers are heavy, and furniture is big. A 1.8L engine in a subcompact can't always support those use cases.

I don't know too many people who could afford a $20k car to drive to work and then a $40k truck just to park in their garage 95% of the time. And if they can, they're buying a BMW instead.
I disagree with two things in the article.

1. I disagree with the underlying premise of the article - the deck is unimportant.

2. I disagree with the reasoning given as to why it works.

Firstly the deck is unimportant because - as the ex-employee quoted at the end said: the prospect is already sold thanks to the marketing and branding campaigns run by Zuora. The deck is superfluous.

Secondly, the reasoning that Raskin often gives as to why this works is based on the fact it follows the "storytelling" formula that Hollywood uses. He liberally uses examples of Star Wars and other films in his articles.

But we aren't characters in a movie.

Rather than looking to what motivates characters in a movie to act as a model for persuasive messaging, we are better looking at what persuades people to act in real life.

Arguably religion and politics are the most persuasive forces on the planet.

And the real reason Zuora's message works is that it follows the same formula (and has the same elements) as religious and political ideologies.

1. There's a heaven and hell (for Zuora, heaven is thriving and getting more customers and hell is losing one's business)

2. There's a devil which is stopping us getting to heaven and sending us to hell (for Zuora this is the traditional business model of single non-recurring purchases)

3. There's a doctrine that needs to be followed to get to heaven & avoid hell (for Zuora that's the subscription business model)

4. There's a leader that provides the tools and solutions necessary to implement the doctrine and get to heaven (for Zuora this is their solution)

Viewing Zuora's success through this model, through this lense, makes more sense than Raskin's model.

There are plenty of other examples. Hubspot is a great example - they used (unconsciously) this model to sell the concept of inbound marketing. Check out this article on the subject - https://bit.ly/2Ov3NCT

Not when they err on the side of making them too low.

Then you get the problem of (hypothetically) “Yeah, BMW compromised everyone’s information ... but we took into account how much our country/state depends on them and gave a slap on the wrist.”

Like the VW case.

Edit: or does the EU allow third parties to sue over too-low fines? That would be a surprise.
