> For a few hours, builds ran smoothly. As expected, eventually the agent died during a build. Builds sat queued, my frustration grew, and AWS notified my instance needed a doctor. After an hour I gave up hope for the unresponsive server and commanded it to reboot.

Sounds a lot like some process on the build server is leaking memory. We have a couple of older services that have this problem, and if we don't catch it early enough the server will become unresponsive and unable to even handle ssh connections.
> news division is Pulitzer nominated

that's a load of bull crap. Being "Pulitzer nominated" does not make you good. As someone pointed out in the same thread, Dar Speigel journalist faked everything and got a ton of awards for his reporting. Do you think he works for next, would mention that he is fake news and not the awards - i bet it would be the opposite.

One of Buzzfeed biggest blunders about the Muller Investigation made every news source that cited it look like "fake news" this month. All done for sensationalizing and made the article more clickbaity.
Reading his description of the enormity of the research, I found myself doing a search to see what the Library looked like.

My first impression was that the building itself looks like a giant archive box.

Amazing dedication to his craft.
Investors ploughed a combined $400 million into them across 2015 and 2016.

1,600 employees in that segment probably cost ~$120m per year in salary and benefits, give or take $20m. (their employee count was higher than 1,600 for a time though)

They likely have burned through a lot of that $400m in the last 40 months. TechCrunch reports they had just over 300 employees in mid to late 2013. So they increased headcount more than 5x in 3-4 years (another article reports they were up over 1,700 employees sometime in 2017).
I know they mean well. I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do.
> I happen to think that immigration and customs enforcement is a net positive.

But is it a net positive at the margin? Protests by the tech community won't get rid of ICE. They might make it less efficient, forcing it to spend some of its budget on, say, migrating to new tech platforms. Seizing drugs is (hopefully) a higher priority for ICE than locking up children, so a reduction in available budget should lead to a reduction in the latter, not the former.
This honestly scares me so much. I have a 14 year old brother. I've tried very hard to make him workout, join a soccer team and try to draw in his free time. But there are no kids running around outside, they don't ask each other to hang out. They don't do anything.
Depends what you work on. My suggestions were based on what has served me well professionally. Another way of looking at it is that if you don't have this, you're not going to get to work on things that require them.

What you describe hardly speaks for the majority of journalists. There are always exceptions to every rule, but they are just that: exceptions. Most of them are passionate, thorough journalists and writers, and it's very hard to get paid decently for that. And to the journalists that _do_ write inflammatory pieces, I'd argue that you could just as easily point to software engineers that have compromised their own ethics in exchange for large salaries from tech companies.

social problem of neighborhood culture

Yes it is, but you aren't going to solve it without rolling back women's rights. Neighbourhoods are not communities anymore because there aren't enough adults around during the day. With both parents working 9-5, there aren't any moms around to keep an eye on the kids playing during summer break.

It was bad when we as a society told women they're not allowed to work. Now women have to work just to be able to afford a house on two incomes which previously cost only one.

Buzzfeed != Buzzfeed news

Here are some examples from buzzfeed news:

I think Buzzfeed news should rebrand itself so people stop getting the two confused
You should try actually reading BuzzFeed before making blanket statements like that. BuzzFeed certainly does do a lot of listicles, but that's only a portion of the content they put out. If you want to talk original content, just take a look at the large list of shows they have, such as Tasty, Try Guys, Unsolved, Worth It, etc. And that's not even considering BuzzFeed News, which seems to be putting out some of the best journalism of all the domestic outfits recently.

Even the "content repackaging" is still work. What you're deriding here is a form of curation. Personally, I quite enjoy their roundups of the latest funny stuff from Twitter and Tumblr. And some of these listicles are in fact original content rather than merely "repackaged" content.

If you don't like the fluff "repackaged content", that's perfectly fine. Don't read it. But don't mistake the existence of this for a lack of original content. BuzzFeed puts out that "repackaged content" because it's popular and drives eyeballs for advertising. If that's what they have to do to fund BuzzFeed News, I say more power to them.

News should contain truth. None of it should be false. If they’re printing things that are not verified to be true, then it’s not news, it’s rumors. The whole story doesn’t need to be false, presenting rumors as fact is enough to be considered poor journalism. They shouldn’t be discounted, but it reflects poorly, and this lay-off could suggest there has been pressure that compromised their integrity.
Thanks for the tips. We will definitely consult professionals for their advice.

Software engineers are not in a profession that is explicitly designed around seeking the truth.
Right, those are brief disruptions that cause no significant variation in total transit times.

Much like the idea that slower drivers cause more accidents, this is based on other drivers experiencing discomfort and having to be more careful to avoid the slower car. It feels like it is more dangerous, but the data we have shows that it does not result in more accidents.

Traffic jams that cause meaningful changes to total transit time are almost always based upon significant disruption events(accidents) or uneven capacity(merging traffic at a higher rate than the freeway can absorb).

We know from psychology that a person will perceive something that requires more attention and effort as taking longer and perceive something that requires less attention and effort as taking less time, even if the times are equal.

- Most debt is from medical bills, credit cards, and payday loans
- 20% of our users are from NY and CA

Why on earth would you use a different deployment stack in CI than you would in production? This seems to miss (at least) half the point of integration testing.

If "tiring completeness" is supposed to read "Turing completeness", then including a conditional jump instruction of any sort completes the hardware requirement.

No, but like journalists, they (we) have a job that gives them influence over those who use their products. We facilitate the discourse and the dispersal of news that most journalism agencies must now use. Not even 20 years ago, news agencies held this same role.
I'm coming around to the opinion that anything the Government does (particularly if they think it's a clever policy) triggers the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Except for some situations where they correct or curtail market excesses, most programs seem to end up causing more damage than they try to solve and worse outcomes long term.

One of the few exceptions was Rudd simply handing out cash to the general population in the middle of the GFC to keep the economy turning over. Generally most incentives don't have the desired effect.
Australia, but not quite exactly as stated. We provide a monetary stipend but have heavily subsidized government built housing. We also have free medical care and in some places free public transport (outside of peak hour times).

Of course we never eliminated homelessness entirely and due to lack of investment in government housing in recent decades along with skyrocketing real estate prices we have a growing homeless problem. But overall it works out well, I'd rather by poor here than in the US.

If the bar is netflix's $12, then 3 bucks better get me 1 week, call it 40 hours of content. I'd be much more eager to watch a bunch of different shows and spend a lot more money than if I had to pay $2.99 or whatever to rent a movie on itunes/amazon.

There always some really prolific guys make the citation search taking too much time to break to flow.

Depends on what you're doing. My father did a huge amount of mathematical analysis over the years (roofs, bridges, trusses, ship hulls), but, again, he had the mathematical ability to do it. One of my best friends gets called into big institutional HVAC systems when they're misbehaving, and pretty much makes his living from qualitative understanding of dynamical systems that requires this kind of foundation.
He's currently president of the United States. Do people think this is somehow easy to accomplish now?

Regardless of how you feel about him, attaining this office does mean a certain amount of competence.

Also worth looking at the Lenovo X1. Similarly light and powerful.

Edit: My only complaint with the XPS13 is the ports ... it's definitely one short (power, monitor, USB peripherals) which forces you to get the expensive dock. Not cool.

I was actually thinking more about Microsoft than Walmart with that statement.

But you're treating this as if I'm saying 'any big corporation which sells foodstuffs and other basic goods is a blight upon society', as if it's an aesthetic argument because I don't like the looks of Walmart.

Walmart is a tax-payer-subsidized megacorporation which pours vast resources into the hands of the Walton family. If we're going to have such a thing, we might as well cut out the middle-man and just have a government-run chain of groceries. It's somewhat ridiculous that my money (via taxes) effectively ends up in the pockets of billionaires even if I never shop at their establishments. (Same goes for Microsoft.)

So my statements have nothing to do with classist policies, that Walmart offends my aesthetic sensibilities and so therefore should be removed. I'm saying it drains resources off in the wrong ways. And it's not just about people buying things at Walmart, it's also about people working at Walmart.

So you're going off on a tangent about something I'm not at all talking about.

> If you are contending that Walmart having never existed would be a net benefit for humanity I think you would have a very hard time proving that.

I don't really think I have to. It seems like a self-illustrating proof. Walmart drives small businesses out of business by artificially lowering prices for short amounts of time until they've driven competitors out of business. They play dirty tricks employing people at weekly hours that don't require benefits, and so tax-payers end up subsidizing Walmart by being on the hook for the health benefits of many of Walmart's employees. It's welfare for billionaires.
The original claim was about a "range" of $350K to $500K, implying that $350K was the low end, not average or median. Which sounds highly doubtful, even at top tech companies, and totally unheard of at most average tech companies.

Yup, early in my career I worked in the group, at the JHU/APL, that did the satellite location calculations for the Navy's version of GPS.

One of the research projects to help with this, actually in effect to have carefully controlled orbits, was a "drag free" satellite. Basically just put the satellite in a ball. Then the ball still has drag, but the satellite does not. Sure, soon as the satellite without drag moves with respect to the ball that does, have to tweak the orbit of the ball to keep the drag free satellite at the center of the ball.

I think that’s his point. The branding is causing the average person to be misinformed. I think most will agree that “Buzzfeed” is trash but “Buzzfeed News” is not. The confusion is understandable. Adding a word to a branding doesn’t usually suggest a complete opposite approach.

Let’s try a few examples to see how understandable it is: “Cracked News”, “Walmart Luxury”, “College Humor University”.
I bought a Dell XPS 13" back in 2008 and had nothing but problems with it. The graphics card was known to overheat and melt on the board. Dell instead of implementing a recall ended up figuring it was cheaper to send a repair man to replace the entire motherboard each time. It happened to me three times.

On top of that, the screen failed, the trackpad failed and the keyboard failed. The charger burned a hole in my carpet and the motherboard running only Linux and an IDE burned my table.

I haven't bought a Dell laptop since. Has things improved with the XPS 13 developer editions?
One thing to note is that the Net Neutrality was repealed July 11, 2018 (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-internet/us-net-neutr...). For the Q4 2018 (Oct 1 - Dec 31)

"Cable Communications’ capital expenditures increased 7.6% to $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, reflecting higher spending on scalable infrastructure, customer premise equipment and line extensions, partially offset by decreased investment in support capital. " (https://www.cmcsa.com/news-releases/news-release-details/com...)

So while the overall capital investment for the year was down, for the first full quarter after net neutrality, capital investment was up.
