I think it's naive to assume that the Soviets learned of nuclear bombs once they were dropped in Japan. It's well documented that they knew and were doing research way before that. If you're developing it, somebody you don't want is always going to know.

> Remember guys, the nucler detente in Europe was not something given until eighties

Eh? France had their independently developed nukes in the 60s.

This comment also boldly assumes that the Soviets had a stronger urge to march with tanks into Europe than the U.S. has to march into Russia, which is not a given.

But putting all that aside, assuming the U.S. were able to keep it secret, what makes you think that that's necessarily a good thing? Do you really naively assume that all the U.S. cares about are 'liberal values'? The U.S. does not enjoy the universal 'good guys' reputation in many places around the world, for solid reasons.

So to me, it seems far better that MAD exists, it keeps everyone from becoming too drunk with power.

Ms Silver now wants the Australian War Memorial (AWM), which already includes the story of the massacre, to tailor its tours to include this account of the alleged sexual assaults.

Because 99% of math is basic calculations.

0.9% are 100-200 level math problems.

0.1% are beyond that, but at that point, hopefully your 200 level skills have taught you enough to learn about solving that.

In my lifetime, I only had 1, beyond 200 level problem that required research on math to understand. And technically, it was optional, but I volunteered.

Everything else was algebra.
I suspect it's bad on purpose to force people to install the app.
I like TBD -- a lot. However there are a couple of problems with it. If your team is not collocated in a time zone then you'll one one guy (me, for instance) who will push 8 hours of development into trunk without anyone else getting a chance to look at it.

The same thing happens if you have someone who just "disappears" for a day or two and effectively has a feature branch. You need to have discipline on your team to push often (I like to push at least every 20 minutes).

I also tend to think that continuous deployment with TBD is risky. It depends on how good your automated acceptance tests are, but I tend to like to do a manual sanity check before deployment. It's a lot easier when you are not working on a moving target.

Finally, sometimes you just have to break something in order to change its direction. This forces you into a feature branch if you are doing continuous deployment.

We've occasionally experimented with having an "integration branch" that acts like trunk but isn't deployed. You can then time your trunk deployments, potentially cherry picking from the integration branch. It seems like a good solution, but I've found it to be more trouble than its worth most of the time.

Having said all that, my preference would be to abandon continuous deployment and instead have regular deployment (say once a week or once every 2 weeks) with a mechanism for hot patches. Then force everyone to work mostly core hours and have continuous integration (with commits coming in every 5 minutes or so). In my experience this has produced dramatically better results than feature branches.

However... On my team it is impossible (not least because I'm 9 time zones away from the majority of my team mates). So feature branches are an acceptable second best.
When I switched from macOS to linux, the things I missed the most were AirDrop and being able to text from my computer. I'll admit I still haven't found substitutes for either that are nearly as nice.

> I pick ZFS every time because of its … reliability, and being able to easily understand what goes on

https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues?utf8=&q=is%3Aissue+...

Panics and other issues are pretty rare for regular users that don't push ZFS to its limits with over-utilized RAM or obscure kernel and/or ZFS features, but when you do encounter problems, you better know some kernel internals kung-fu if you want to keep using recent kernel and ZFS versions rather sooner.

(This argument is mainly about ZoL though; I can't speak for Illumos or FreeBSD that have somewhat tighter integration between ZFS and the rest of the kernel.)

That sounds extreme to me. What kind of development do you do that makes this possible? I rarely finish something within 20 minutes. Often, I'm thinking about the right way to do something for a day or longer before I decide to push some results. (UPDATE, before I even start to write some code!)

What do you mean? Doesn't matter if it's on premise or in the cloud(someone elses computer) - someone still has to manage it from the company's point. If you leave it to the devs it'll be a disaster.

With that said, this industry is moving fast and if you wanna keep up you need to learn bash/python or powershell on windows, eventually... this is true. Or you can move to smaller companies with fewer assets to manage.

If you say you can throw a bash script together than that's a good start. When doing that, try to understand what the author has done - check how the script was made, look up each function and try to remember what they do.

Once you remember functions you can always use that knowledge and look up syntax and arguments in the docs and start writing your own code. Bash is not a good place to start though, because it has a lot of weird syntax but python is rather clean.

Also take your time, don't think it's something you can learn within a week or month, give it 6months - year, don't push it. If you can't figure it out today, it's ok, try another day.

What specifically would you like them to conserve? I find conservatism confusing because the specific base state that apparently needs to be conserved differs from person to person. Do you want to go back to feudalism? Do you want to go back to the bronze age? Or do you just want to go back to when the literacy rate was below 50%? Conservatism needs to be specific in its goals otherwise it only represents a desire for a purely unchanging society.
> One thing to be aware of is that registering a company in the US (or anywhere else) does NOT mean that it's not taxable where the founders or management are resident.

It will be noticed - by angry users. Which is why untested continuous deployment is madness.

When you do checkpoint regular releases done often, you get a chance to smoketest and block a release. Automated smoke tests only go so far in fixing this - if you could cheaply, reliably and completely fully automate testing, everyone would already do that.

About the only way to do continuous deployment is to not deploy into production but use lagged deployment practice...

I guess the actual number wasn’t the point. Disclosing any number would send a signal of transparency, while stopping the practice would suggest the opposite. It could be consciously used as a deterrent by signaling that you are adopting a different, more aggressive strategy. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything (substantial) has to change in the background.

You cannot avoid this, only can parcel the cost and accept more breakage on the way.

With a big merge, others have time to inspect and know of breaking changes. with million tiny merges (or working on trunk, same) you either freeze change due to risk of breakage or end up with broken master regularly.
A deeper look at Bosque, Microsoft Research's new programming language
It was not mainstream back then.

I agree that most popular dynamic are quite terrible. But, honestly, I think the real problem is not the particular implementations, but the whole idea of dynamic typing. At first it did make sense, but now that compiler writers have figured out "cheap" and general type inference, I don't see the point anymore.

However, I use Python on a daily basis because I have no decent alternative for the libraries I use.
I hate PPAs, and the entire repo model, because it's just so much overly complicated bullshit for a simple task. And they don't cover everything.

Example: recently I had need of the of the DOSBox debugger, which you need to enable at compilation. On Windows this was as simple as finding some zip file from someone who'd done it and extracting the executable. On my Lubuntu system though, it wasn't in the repo for my version, nor was there a PPA. It was, however, in the very newest repo for Ubuntu and required up to date dependencies and I didn't want to upgrade my perfectly working base system.

Ultimately I had to manually download the package and its dependencies, extract their contents, and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the like to get it to run out of a self-contained directory.

That's what's fascinating to me. All the technology is there to distribute portable self-contained applications on Linux, but basically no one does it, or they pull a flatpak and still tie it into the horrifically silly repo model (and still aren't portable!). Only AppImage makes any sense, but hardly anyone embraces it.

Intermediate results are fine as long as the tests are passing. If you push, then your teammates will see what you are doing and one of them can give you advice if they think you are going in a disadvantageous direction.

If you hold the code out for a whole day, there is no way for anyone else to know what you are doing (unless you interrupt them to tell them, or they somehow know to ask you). On a well functioning TBD team with true CI, everybody knows what everybody else is doing because they are constantly looking at diffs when they pull trunk.

But yes, it is extreme ;-) It's one of the 12 XP practices (continuous integration). Interestingly, the original idea behind CI servers was that when you push to trunk, you were never sure if there would be an integration problem. So if someone pulled trunk, they might get garbage. So the CI server was there so that you could get a visual indication of whether or not it was safe to pull trunk. And if it went red the whole team would instantly take a look to see what happened. It's a team based approach rather than an individual approach.

“
I believe the relative ease—not to mention the lack of tangible cost—of software updates has created a cultural laziness within the software engineering community. Moreover, because more and more of the hardware that we create is monitored and controlled by software, that cultural laziness is now creeping into hardware engineering—like building airliners. Less thought is now given to getting a design correct and simple up front because it’s so easy to fix what you didn’t get right later.”

This is why I feel the software industry has too many problems with security, performance, etc.

I’d like to think that engineers care how good and efficient their code is. But too often, it’s up to managers or customers how quickly software needs to be completed.

This introduces bugs, incomplete features, and (in the case of Very Important Thigs to keep you Alive) potentially cause dangerous breaks.

It sounds like Big Corp was trying to push that laziness and lack of foresight into other engineering disciplines. If so, how many of our cars, planes, and other items that potentially directly affect our lives are affected by mechanical design flaws and software errors?

Hopefully the industry gets its shit together as a whole. As it stands, if I ever work on anything that affects a life, I’m damn well blowing a whistle if I feel like something is off.
