Can you blame them? EU traffic probably accounts for a tiny fraction of their overall traffic. Rather than pay their (probably minuscule) engineering team to fix it, bakersfield.com probably ran the numbers are realized it would cost much less to just not serve traffic to the EU.

I'm sure this is hugely annoying and unexpected for EU visitors, but you gotta understand that you are not obligated to use their website, and the website is not obligated to serve its content to you.
Yes, often. It is more convenient and safer than using credit card directly. When combined with Paypal credit card, you get cashback too, so you are not really losing anything.
Was just down in that area last week for vacation, and some areas just south of University Village (B) were amazingly packed with RVs. My daughter (who works near there) said that it's a mix of people sometimes - from the conscientious good (temporary) neighbors to the ones that leave a lot of trash and crap.
Is that true? What about Europe? I thought that Europeans have similar behavior to Americans as far as the Internet goes.

For example, about 10 years ago, Google higher market share in Europe than in America. It was something like 95% in Europe and 90% in the US. I wouldn't be surprised if that's still the case.

Of course Google's not a social network, but my very limited understanding says that Internet products generally translate well from America to Europe. I'd be interested to know where that's not true!

Considering letting the pilot take control of the controls far more likely increases the casualty count to everyone on board + far more people on the ground, so I believe landing is still the better option and is something that pilots can learn.

He was just a quiet man who had tried to do the right thing in the face of an inferno. And maybe that is enough.

Speaking as a former firefighter, I would say "Yes. Yes, that is enough."

As far as I'm concerned, anybody who runs towards a fire in an attempt to help others, when everyone else is running away, is a hero. Doesn't matter if you're "officially" a firefighter, or anything else. If you display the behavior, the willingness to sacrifice, the bravery, of a firefighter, then you are one of the brotherhood. And if you pay the ultimate sacrifice in the process, you are a hero to be cherished, whether you saved 10 people, or none.

And before anybody says it... yes, I know the old saw about "not becoming another casualty, and one more person to be rescued" as well as anyone. I used to teach that stuff. But at the end of the day, while we might not want civilians or untrained/unequipped people running into fires, you still have to respect and honor the courage of the people who are willing to do that.
>When I've deployed on ECS (or other "simple" orchestrators), I've found that I ultimately wound up re-inventing lots of Kubernetes features.

Could you elaborate a little on this part? Our team is looking at ECS/Fargate as a possible container solution and I am curious what you felt was missing from it.

How does it compare to Maxima?
I've been running SmartOS containers for 6+ years and it's the best of all worlds. Easy service management, works with regular binaries or Dockerized deploys, SDN always built-in, service discovery built-in (CNS), even Windows VMs available. Best kept secret in the cloud even though the entire stack is open-source.

On the orchestration side I use Puppet Pipelines (formally Distelli) which works with standard VMs, SmartOS containers, Docker, Linux images, from packaging through testing and deployment. And they just lowered pricing (!??!)

There's no reason to be locked into Kubernetes unless you're sure you need it. SmartOS scales in seconds. As CTO I'm always checking out the next platform, but all the newer solutions look much more complicated.

EDIT: Heroku has weird errors when you push CPU or RAM, also the CPUs aren't so fast, Linode can't be trusted, Digital Ocean is OK but is still very manual roll-your-own, AWS is a behemoth and medium fast, Google is fine but specialized and hard to migrate away from, OpenStack isn't for small orgs... I've run production services on them all. It's easy to try a new service with a Pipelines-style orchestration because it doesn't care which service its talking to. And makes it obvious when platform-specific instructions or concessions are required.
Oh noooo! Can't believe you had to stay that late at work. Poor planning leading up to the migration, or just unexpected issues?
It's also different to a box you put dirty money in, that spits out clean money immediately, and is also a secure place to store money.

It's just solving both the fundamental problems of handling blood money at the same time, ergo Lambos and HODL genius.
For my side projects I just wrote a simple service that listens for Github events and just checks out the repo, builds it, and ssh's to the target server and runs a "stop and run" script.
This way I can even put all of the configuration for the different databases in version control too.

It's super dirty, but I can deploy dozens of services without issue. Monitoring is another problem, but I don't need Prometheus for this stuff.

(I couldn't use Heroku cost effectively because running graph dbs and some custom stuff, but Heroku is AWESOME)
As a programmer, I'm no fan of Oracle. I think customers feel badly about a lot of things the company does, too. Obviously employees are going to think badly of Oracle as well.

But they are sharp in business dealings. If I had to pick one company to own for just pure business efficiency, Oracle would be high on the list.
400k emails?! Oh my god. Did you ever hear back from the user?
But when everyone starts taking this view on it, the result is that changes get made tactically based on what makes your task work. With no understanding of the overall vision. The result undermines the integrity of the system, and makes debuggers ever more necessary going forward.

I guess the pie in the sky vision is that tactically making your task work somehow becomes harmonized with the overall vision. Extreme Programming was supposed to do this through the high information exchange of pair programming, the constant refactoring, and the practice of there only being 7 or so large scale patterns for the whole of the application.

The way this works in most of the real world, is that it's supposed to work like this, but there's no pair programming, and you never get enough time to refactor.

The world is not divided by efforts like this. There’s an extremely complicated economic/political/cultural circumstance that is dividing the world. To reduce current cultural divides to reactionary simple binaries is beyond silly.

No one is opposed to white men succeeding, it’s just not interesting because that’s the status quo. While the interests of all working class people need to be addressed (including white men), getting angry over some random millionaire rolling out cash to 40 girls who are also most likely going to be of a socioeconomic status that is at least smart, articulate and aware enough of our bubble is absurd.

The real issue is we have to fight over the crumbs of some out of touch millionaire rolling out private grants like we’re children so that we can ultimately provide cheaper labor for people like her to make herself more wealthy and continue the cycle.
Your “if lucky” was, iirc, the much more frequent outcome. Now in the US if you come to the attention of a prosecutor, you get threatened with decades of prison in order to be plea-bargained down to something less horrendous. Formally these codes are very different, but the substance in both is people kept in line by dire threats that are mostly just held in reserve.
The author mentions coupling with kubernetes due to config maps and such. That is certainly a risk, but if you use environment variables for config (which IMHO you should) then k8s makes it trivial to just map your ConfigMap to Environment Variables.

I've got a few apps running in k8s and none of them know anything about k8s. If avoiding coupling with k8s is what you want (and I agree it's the way to go) then it really isn't that bad. The hard part is not knowing what you don't know.
Number 6 on the Forbes list of software companies, with a market cap of 176 billion. Their main product is very heavily used by a heck of a lot of companies. It's just a bit messy and configuration-intensive, so it doesn't get a lot of respect among the techerati.

A software engineer looking for work could do a lot worse.
The new cloud infrastructure group is kind of hidden gem. Its very different than the rest of Oracle. It started in Seattle about 4 years ago and is like 40% ex Amazon and 40% ex Microsoft.

They also pay very well, because Oracle doesn't have a great reputation.

The work is good, with a TON of room for growth and leadership.

The goal is ambitious (take on the big players) and well funded.

The people are good. Worklife is good.

They are also still hiring.
Terms (including "functional programming") are defined by their use, not by their etymology or the original intention behind them.

The benefits of private transactions without notifying the processor (and circumventing financial regulation, or at least delaying it), is immediately obvious. It's a distributed payment system. The control you mention, is subjective.
> What compelling reason does oracle even have to attract talent?

It used to be benefits. Back in 2005 (when I worked for them for a year) they had what I understood to be the 2nd best benefits plan in tech (just after Microsoft).
No. The pilots know that they'll be dead if they open the door. I take it you're too young to remember 9/11?
Isn't Heroku really expensive though? I looked at it a few weeks ago and the cheapest plan was $25/month (there's also a $7 "Hobby" plan though, but that seems just for, well, hobby stuff?)

I instead got a Linode VPS at $5/month, which gives me more than the $25 Heroku plan? Setting up a VPS is not very hard either – although this may depend a bit on your environment, my app compiles to a static binary – and a lot more flexible.

My devops stack thus far consists of scp and tmux.
Yes, in particular the 737 is a cables and levers and pullys design. It can fly totally manually. If the pilots had realized they had a trim problem, and switched off the electric trim, and trimmed manually (literally turning a crank in the cockpit) they would not have crashed.
Yes, but I'd be shocked if a majority of people using Google Images are on Pinterest.
Anecdote: I have a MIDI keyboard that I hook up to my iPad Pro through USB (A to C). I actually own a few small keyboards and none of them use Lightning. What are these Lightning accessories you're referring to?

The logo is also usually changed once or twice in the first few years of the company's existence, as traction builds and the product-market fit is tested. It makes sense to not get too attached to the initial logo. However if you are Coca Cola or Nike you probably want to have a memorable logo that will stand the test of time.
question? couldnt apple make an accessory that connects/syncs the pencil 2 to the ipad mini 5 without having to use the pencil 1?
This looks interesting, I have a few questions. How do you deal with Linux dependencies etc.? All your applications must be BSD compatible?

Any advice for getting started with it on DigitalOcean? Or is nested out of the story?
I actually did and I love the idea!

In my opinion, that's gonna be the next wave of container management solutions. If you think about it, you shouldn't care about container orchestration at all; you should care about services.

Habitat ships the orchestrator together with every service. That sounds strange and redundant at first, but if you think about it, it has some nice advantages:

* Services are fully self-contained and can run anywhere (in dev, stage, prod) without any changes.
* By tagging services, one can create a service-mesh quite easily without having to think about network-topologies. Services find each other automatically (I think via a Raft/Gossip protocol).

I haven't looked at it too closely yet, but it's on my list.
Fair disclaimer: I know the folks behind it from the Rust community.
Is there any significant difference between e.g. `kubeadm` and `gcloud container clusters`?

I believe when the cluster malfunctions, you're still on your own figuring that out. I had a stuck node on GKE just recently, which broke our CI. The GCE machine was there, but the node wasn't visible with kubeadm and quick SSH onto the VM hadn't discovered any immediately visible obvious issues. Auto-repair was enabled but hadn't worked - and TBH I have no idea how should I've diagnosed why it didn't (if there's even a way).

Thankfully, this was issue with the node, not master, and the CI nodes are all epheremal, so I've quickly dismissed the idea of debugging what went wrong and had just reinitialized the pool. Could've done the same with bare metal.

One yield curve inversion and everyone rushes to press submit on their draft S-1
Totally agree. The question should be about restriction not equality. If I am restricted from being a female coder, that is a problem. Otherwise, nothing wrong with the sexes sorting themselves out according to their own pursuit of happiness.
I wanted to send him into my company's Teams chat today and was disappointed I wasn't able to find him.

I'm willing to bet that Teams' sticker feature saw a few % of increase in interaction. It was my first time opening it.
Hmm for some reason I thought this was already the case actually.

I was looking at Ally CD rates a few weeks ago, and I saw an inversion there and I just chalked that up to the CD rates being dependent on the yield curve.

Does it?
I guess I meant from the manufacturer's perspective. I doubt it costs Boeing 80k to implement, though that was apparently the list price for the feature. This comment also really belongs within the context of the safety expectations of your industry. For planes, there is a high safety expectation. For a hardware feature that costs Boeing maybe $1k (wild ass guess here) to implement, I would expect them NOT to view that as an opportunity to squeeze someone for more profit. They would obviously have to increase the selling price somewhat.

From a purely business case I can see why Boeing did what they did but I'm just philosophically opposed to profit being the only goal. Even if it was the only goal, this case pretty clearly shows that it wasn't 'worth it' for Boeing to skimp on safety features with what, 20B wiped off their valuation.

Can you recommend any up to date best practices or guides for the ecosystem? I'm looking at the Hashicorp ecosystem for our new infrastructure.
The thing that all the "you don't need kubernetes" articles seem to ignore or skim over, is the huge network effect of a popular setup like k8s.

Not only is it much easier to find services (like helm) and articles for k8s, but there are so many ready to go configurations. For most major services, there is already a ready to go helm chart or at least some well vetted yml config on GitHub to start from.

And most any issue I have come across, I have been able to search and find solutions.
Look into Dokku, it is a free Heroku clone that you can run on a cheap VPS. I set it up last week and now all I have to do to deploy is type "git push dokku master".
Charlemagne reportedly ruled his empire despite being illiterate [0]. Christians were able to worship before they could read or even have access to printed Bibles. Literacy allows for creation and understanding beyond what can be attained via delegating the ability to read and write. It’s the same with coding, and I think you aren’t seeing how coding — or rather, being able to think the way code requires — is an ability that goes beyond building a web app. Here’s a good write up from author Clive Thompson about how he learned to code, and how it helped him, when he was writing a book:

Since it doesn't actually have the ability to do anything, it's pretty darned secure.

Yes, all the time. PayPal (and their subsidiary, Venmo) provide the most convenient ways to pay someone online who doesn't have a merchant account. That includes a lot of smaller vendors that I deal with on a regular basis.
I'm working in tech as a man, and spend more than half of my work time in talking to people. Actually, the higher you go up in your career, the more you will spend time interacting with people, and the less with things. So should we aim to keep male coders, and foster female tech managers, because that fits the biological tendencies?

I definitely would like to see more male kindergarten teachers, because the fact that there are no role models for boys in kindergarten and primary school also has detrimental effects on boys and girls.

Finally, let's first agree that society still has a big impact. Then, we can discuss if it's worthwhile to do something about it or not.
8” tablets with broadly similar features exist (e.g., Galaxy Tab S2 8”), though details vary a lot, and since I don't think any near the top of the field have a refresh in a couple years (8” isn't a hot spot in the Android tablet market), they're probably mostly less expensive but not quite at feature parity, ignoring OS/ecosystem preference issues.

smart, taking money off the market when there's still money on the market. that's the fourth notable S-1 in a month or so. if smart money cashing out doesn't signal that there's real volatility ahead, I don't know what else would.
Adding another caution light is a bad solution. In some incidents, pilots had 100+ error messages to decipher (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_32).

The real solution would be to inhibit trim if the AoA vanes disagreed. This is typically the policy for stick shakers and stick pushers.

My guess is they justified this policy because:

-the trim wheel is obviously moving, so a pilot will recognize this as a runaway trim (and perform correct memory items to disable trim)

-the system will only activate when flaps are retracted. So when the plane starts doing something wrong (nose down), the pilot will undo the last thing they changed (flaps), which prevents further nose down trim
The U.S. Desperately Needs a “Fiber for All” Plan
I'm not concerned about this, personally.

On my home server, there are only two ports open to the internet -- one for my SSH server, and one for my VPN server. Both of those are running on nonstandard ports.

In order to DDOS me, an attacker has to find those ports, which would require a comprehensive scan (increasing the chances that they'll get blocked by my ISP or detected by my antiscan monitor) or a huge amount of luck. And even then, they'll just be able to DDOS my SSH server and VPN. That wouldn't be awesome, but wouldn't exactly be disastrous.
I'm actually hoping the fed refuses to lower rates. Let things dip a little rather than try to regulate the economy so much. Them jerking around rates was part of the trigger for 2008. Long term I think rates need to be higher anyway. So here's to hoping the speculators are wrong!
> 3. Fragmentation

It's essentially the idea of having a few subreddits about the same topic, like r/btc and r/bitcoin. (Or something like that, I'm ignoring both.) Both are about the same topic and the difference is how they filter the post and interact with the community.

The alternative is to have both groups in a single big supersubreddit, and some users can choose to filters the users baned by the r/btc moderator, some users can chose to filter the users banned by the r/bitcoin moderators, some users can choose to filter both, and some users can choose to filter neither. (And there are a few more alternatives, the mods can add whitelist too and you can combine them.) I don't know if it may work, but the brigade wars would be amazing.

Key Polish Political Party Comes Out Against Article 13
Wikipedia luckily provides some context, as the linked page is bit spartan:

> In 2007, Axiom was forked twice, originating two different open-source projects: OpenAxiom[3] and FriCAS,[4] following "serious disagreement about project goals".[5] The Axiom project continued to be developed

So FriCas is one of the three main branches of Axiom. But what is Axiom?

> Axiom is a free, general-purpose computer algebra system. [..] which defines a strongly typed, mathematically (mostly) correct type hierarchy [..] and a sophisticated (dependent) type system

> The primary philosophy is that Axiom needs to develop several fundamental features in order to be useful to the next generation of computational mathematicians

This helps make sense of the description of FriCAS

> FriCAS is a general purpose computer algebra system with a strong focus on mathematical research and development of new algorithms

So in summary sounds something that is more aimed to actual mathematicians rather than engineers or other scientists who would be more interested in practical applied methods.

Of the forks, FriCAS on a surface level seems the most alive. Original Axiom had its last release in 2014, but appears to still have some ongoing development. OpenAxiom had last release in 2013 and last commit in 2015, so it feels pretty dead to me. FriCAS meanwhile has had 9 releases since 2014 and at least some activity in GitHub.
