That's not how I see it. We don't see a winner-takes-all in things like project/productivity/development/collaboration tools, etc. The fact that the barriers of entry are low make it so! There's no reason to believe that small independent tech businesses can't earn their owners a sustainable FAANG-like salary in tech businesses with low capital needs. It's when there's high capital requirements that we actually get a winner-takes-all, such as with building data centers, or doing highly regulated stuff, etc.

So this is particularly untrue for the game of Go. The game is in fact uniquely difficult as there are more board combinations than there are atoms in the universe. It is effectively impossible to brute force it as we did with chess, so a new approach had to be created. Until Deep Mind completes the task, even AI experts were genuinely unsure if we would ever solve it.

It really is a new advancement to be able to solve Go. It is not just a logical extension of work we had already done or something that would be automatically solved by faster computers. We had to invent a new approach.

That's sad to hear. I agree that colleges can be too textbook-centric. I'd read a chapter and get nowhere. Did your college have a lab or projects? Mine had us built a rudimentary FTP server, telnet server, a toy instant messenger client, etc. I don't think I could have learned networking simply on the textbook alone. Also playing around network sniffers, network explorers, etc can help.
Show HN: Golang implementation of the new Rust `dbg` macro
I spend a few hours recently in Pipelines and the whole UI is confusing. One of the offender being the edit button being literally at the other side of the screen. Outlook.com UI was also recently destroyed so it is hard to trust Microsoft services, even if good, will stay usable in the future.
In the linked video around 1:07, you can see that they already have vision on the tanks when the first one rotates to fire. This could be the result of a cheat, but SC2 does include NPC watchtower buildings that can be captured to grant vision over a large area of the map (you could also send flyers to scout). From there it is (or at least can) 'just' ridiculously fast and precise angle-tracking and micro, so this is a situational tactic at worst.
I am pretty old school with my approaches to writing for the browsers so I don’t really see these differences in either my JS or CSS. I love template strings, and if weren’t for my heavy use of those my code would work just fine in IE9 and possibly IE8.

Not entirely true. Oldstable and stable get security updates from the Debian Security Team. Unstable gets security updates as a part of package bumps, and maintainers will usually be fairly quick to bump or patch a package in unstable for security reasons. (IOW, Security Team doesn't touch unstable.)

Security-related updates from unstable usually get promoted to testing fairly quickly (within a few days), depending on the severity of the vulnerability and drift between the version of the package in testing and unstable. Regardless, you can usually easily install security updates from unstable as soon as they get uploaded.

When your life depends on something, nerves will kick in and prevent you from doing well. Ok? I can't find the article on google now, but the experiment was done in India where a worker will be given the equivalent of one year of salary if they can perform a simple tasks. Before being told the stakes were so highly, many could complete, but after being told about the potential reward, almost none can do it.
That would be called a "hidden variable", and it's already proved that no theory involving hidden variables can be correct.
I would like to know if you've been penalized for negotiating as well as rewarded at the same or similar rates of your peers of various gender identities. Do you know that?

I would presume no negotiation tactic has a perfect 0% or 100% success rate for any given gender expression, but I am curious about the relative rates for them and how this can best benefit all related parties.
To avoid the risk of failure and rendering yourself a disfigured invalid, you should acquire helium or nitrogen from a welding shop to do the deed by inert gas asphyxiation. You would also need a cheap regulator to control the flow (available from most hardware stores), a tube to direct the flow, and a plastic bag to contain the gas while you breathe it. Inert gas asphyxiation is painless -- it's just like falling asleep. Helium and Nitrogen are not only chemically inert but also physiologically inert. They have no taste or odor and do not trigger the hypercapnic response as happens with suffocation or CO/CO2 poisoning. Another advantage is this leaves your body intact and presentable for your survivors.
I was in a similar position. It’s not really enforceable because if you threaten to take legal action you get fired, and if you stop getting paid you can’t afford lawyer fees, and if you stop working you’re in violation and have to leave the country, and even if you win it’s unclear what you will gain. If you have a family or partner you’re especially in a bind.

It's weird people are defending Buzzfeed here. As a long time lurker, it seemed like the community here is for fact reporting and truth seeking. Buzzfeed has had at least two major blow ups in the past year. Perhaps two of the biggest blunders in years. On top of that, they have constantly reported things without all the facts causing major damage to innocent people.

There are some awards and tests in life demonstrate objective truth, journalism has neither.
We migrated from TeamCity and OctopusDeploy a couple of months ago and we are already regretting it. The reliability of this system is just horrendous. The documentation is pretty much outdated, and quite a few plugins do not work. I have to write a bunch of powershell script to get it to work the way I want. And today, all hell broke loose.

Since this morning, we are stuck with an error message "TF400893: Unable to contact the server. This is most likely caused by a network error. Please check your connection and try again.". This has cause a couple of release pipelines to be get stuck, with cancel option not working either. The paid "parallel jobs" are being consume in this stuck pipeline and no other project from my organisation can be built or deployed because of it.

Pretty much regretting having spent so much time configuring the pipelines. We might switch it doesn't get resolved soon or if it happens even one more time.

At my company we use a mixture of Azure DevOps, Jenkins, CircleCI, Github, Jira, Artifactory, and a host of AWS and Azure, and my view is that Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS, formerly VSO, formerly TFService, formerly TFS, formerly VSS---i kid i kid) is a semi-strong product that just can't get out of its own way.

The New UI is a clear step backward...and the Github integration leaves a lot to be desired. If you have Github Enterprise...why use Azure Repos...why are MSFT teams moving from Azure Repos to Github...and others moving from Github to Azure Repos. The SCM platform and strategy obviously hasn't settled yet...so Gitlab is just as viable an offering that's growing more compelling by the day.

The Azure DevOps hosted build system hasn't been viable in my opinion since it launched, so on-prem agents are a much better option. Take a look at CloudBees offerings, they set the poll position.

The key thing that continues to be a pain point is the reporting and project organization data structure limitations with Azure DevOps: is it 1 TPC per business unit, 1 TPC for the whole company, 1 team project for the whole company. What happens when you have 2...how do you consolidate...what's the path forward if you have to move things around. The answer for the last 8 years has been silence.

The request for a clean solution has been asked for since 2011. Yes 2011, look at the link below. 8 long years...and basically silence...and "it's a hard problem"...and multiple updates saying "We will provide an update once we start planning for the second half of 20XX."

https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-azure-devop...

Eventually, the promises just ring hollow, the proof is in shipped code, and in the meantime other platforms and competitors stacks keep building out better enterprise stories for migrating from Azure DevOps (here's to look at Github, Gitlab, Atlassian's platforms, Jenkins/CircleCI, TeamCity, Artifactory, Xebia Labs etc).

Honestly, the world is a MUCH more competitive place with lots of best in class point solutions that aren't that hard to stitch together and get better performance/features.

Hope springs eternal...that with the new vertical offerings the DevOps team can deliver rapid value...but 8 years is a long time to only hear crickets.

If you're starting out and you need a one-size fits all solution and you're a SMB company with two doze devs...go hog wild with Azure DevOps...that's not to say it doesn't work for large companies like Shell and Microsoft itself...but talk with teams about the limitations they run into and make your own decision on your DevOps transformation adventure...oh and never create more than 1 team project in Azure Devops...seriously...if you do, game over.

Generally the whole area gets a continuous stream of small and big features. You can click through the release notes [1] and see the changes they've made. Over the past twelve or so months they've jettisoned XAML-based builds and added YAML builds.

As someone who's used it through VSO/VSTS/ADO days it's got foibles but yes, it's improving continuously.

I'd say BMW's Formula E motor is better than Tesla's motors today:

https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T028842...

It's not a completely valid comparison because it's a racing motor, but it will be the basis of the motor used in BMW's future production cars. We'll have to wait to see how good the production version is. And by the time it comes out Tesla may also have improved their motor.

Same here, though I usually switch to testing a little earlier, around 6 months after a new major stable release.

I, too, have found testing to be somewhat unstable over the past 6 months or so. Nothing terrible or unusable, but annoying nonetheless.

I generally keep my servers (and Raspberry Pis) on stable, but I'll likely be moving them to testing soon, since it's in a stabilization freeze.

That's your answer - same merits for the front end.
Cool. The trick is, I don't want to "build out a pipeline", I just wanna write a handful of lines in a single config file and be up and going, which is what travis has given me.

But Azure is def on my list to check out!
I can't personally agree with that viewpoint. If I know you're going to introduce a problem, it's my responsibility to say so then and there. If they're professional they need to respect that. Especially if it's CR from a junior.
So, how does iOS development work for you on the X1?
The whole pipeline debacle is confusing. I recently did a demo at a Microsoft DevDays showing Microsoft hosted Ubuntu 16.04 agents in my build and then a self-hosted vsts-agent container (provided by Microsoft which still has the old name, why?) and part of the point was to show how slow not having caching is, even for a simple Python build pipeline. On top of that Microsoft has some odd pricing in that they limit your self hosted pipeline concurrency to 1 unless you pay them. That seems like a bad decision because most people would probably go through the effort of spinning some VMs natively in Azure which would increase overall OpEx. But instead, like the OP of the article, people will self-host on prem or in another/cheaper cloud. Microsoft gives no incentives to use native build agents (they are unreliable and slow) and almost force users to go self hosted but also charge for concurrency.

I've also had very odd issues where agent pools will have an idle worker but the pipeline will sit saying there are no agents, waiting. Eventually it goes, but... It's just a bad impression when you're showing it and it's not consistent.

Also, the UI. Tis horrible. Take a nod from AWS guys and get rid of the widgety attempt at entertaining some exec who doesn't use Azure. AWS interfaces load consistently for the most part and do a much better job in being not annoying, comparatively.

Another bad user experience is if you write a pipeline, by hand, without the GUI and try to run your pipeline - well, good luck. Authorization for certain components of your pipeline will fail, even if they follow the pipeline documentation to the T. Why? Because the pipeline web GUI workflow does linking of authorization between components on first run and if you only kick your build off using, say a code check-in, the pipeline will just fail. And it will give you a non-descript authorization error until you pull all your hair out and randomly do a commit from the Repository GUI of which it will pop up a message asking you to authorize the thing that had been failing for the last hour. Either document this better or give users a descript error of the actual problem. This, again, is oft where I find Azure lacking.
0.0.0.0 is the address programs will listen on to be able to respond to any IP address assigned to the system.

When you are setting up a socket to listen for connections on a particular port you would specify 0.0.0.0 so then things can connect from anywhere like localhost or on any of the many possible IP addresses assigned to the machine, or you can specify a particular IP address and only be able to get traffic from that. For example if you wanted a program only reachable from the same machine you could listen on localhost (127.0.0.1) and then nothing external could directly connect to that particular service.
We use Azure DevOps extensively at my work and, after having used GitHub, Gitlab, self hosted solutions, Jenkins, TeamCity... DevOps ranks dead last.

It's the entire experience. The UI is terribly clunky everywhere. The worst for me are pull requests. Incredibly tough to work with people on a pull request. I can't even point you to "a" particular problem - for us it's broken everywhere. From the weird file comparison with overlays to the missing support for (us) important file formats like ipython notebooks. The way notifications bubble up in a facebook like format on a pull request. The emails that have 20000 lines and never the exact information I need. The amount of clicks to go from comparing two files to open the current version. Other people mentioned the lacking caching support for builds, so I am not going to go into more detail here. Another missing piece for me: Where are my statistics. I'd love to see commit, PR, response, comment etc statistics per team member / teams / groups.

Using Azure DevOps board is a nightmare of its own...

btw: most of these issues are part of the whole "azure" experience. The Azure portal suffers from the exact same interface issues of horizontally stacking fields. One wrong click and your last edits have disappeared into the ether

Uh, there's also a suggestion that setting NODE_NAME will fix the solution. Unfortunately the issue remains open because Distillery has been abandoned in a non-working (which, by definition, is broken) state.

I would compare Elixr to Go, Java (OpenJDK), Javascript (node) and Rust here. All have passive support for the BSDs, and yet all three have actively maintained native packages (rustup and/or ports tree). That neither the Distllery author nor the BSD users have managed to come up with a solution is quite telling — deployments on Elixir are nightmarishly complex. I'm most familiar with Rust, so in contrast if you look at the the BSD specific issues you'll find a very engaged userbase.

Deploying unmaintained software in production is sometimes a necessity with legacy stuff but is almost always a bad idea for new deployments. Elixir has plenty of passionate advocates but no good deployment or support stories. That's just a long-winded way of saying Elixir/Phoenix, unfortunately, aren't things I would be comfortable deploying in production (Linux or not) no matter how many compelling ideas they dangle in front of you. And, as has been pointed out, Elixr doesn't offer significant (if any performance benefits) over modern Ruby (and by extension Java, Go, or Rust).

I'm surprised this has been downvoted. I just can't understand how can be relevant the opinion of a physicist about something they've not worked on just because they have a blog. Sabine is on some kind of crusade nowadays, that's not science, it's something else. You can't dismiss the whole field of particle physics just because, get into the details you're supposed to be aware of and then you'll be adding something more than noise. And I'm sorry she thinks there's nothing worthwhile to be found with upcoming feasible experiments, that's incredibly disappointing, to say the least. The SM is an effective theory, the details of any underlying physics are coded into observables that we aren't done measuring yet, how's that not important?
For now we take writes in the 1.x line protocol so it’s still measurement, tags, and field. However, Flux doesn’t really make that a requirement. So in the future we plan on having a way to write series in without requiring a field or even a measurement.

Once the planner gets the data to the Flux processing engine it views everything thing as a table of data with columns and records. So it’s much more flexible in how we can represent data.

The rating is only required if you want your content on cable TV or want to advertise with the official age requirement brandings to my knowledge.

Platforms like Vimeo couldn't exists if it were an actual requirement for all video content.

And no, it's not a limiting factor. You're losing 100% of your customers if you don't stream at all in other nations. Even 10% is more than 0%. There are of course political movies that can, theoretically get the content banned in some countries. These are beyond rare in first world countries however, making this a non-issue for almost everything as well.

Finally: piracy is not theft. It never was and never will be. It is at best lost revenue and more likely not even that, as most people wouldn't have bought the content anyway.
