I understand why people think Docker is overkill, but Docker is a simplified approach to the most "correct" way to build and deploy applications we've come up with so far.

Even though simple projects don't necessarily need Docker to work, they are 100 times better off using Docker than doing things by hand, because that alternative means they are only deploying once and never again (updates, new environment, dev/staging/prod) and that's just not true.

Engagement metrics can be misleading
They have static discharge wicks to let the lightning pass through. Newer carbon aircraft integrate copper mesh to conduct the current through the hull. The aircraft must be flyable following a strike, the ones I worked on were basically only able to protect the crew and land safely in that event. After that, it was expected the aircraft would be fully torn down, inspected, and rebuilt.
The comments so far don't seem to be very generous to your position, but honestly I can agree with at least some of your points. I basically refuse to ride buses these days due to the experiences I've had on them, as well as their overcrowded nature since the world has decided to really stick with this 8-5 schedule, and I dislike the idea of being jostled around while the junkie next to me tries to cook his spoon.

I do however, love a good light rail system, although even the best of them seem to suffer the same 8-5 cattle car problem. The light rail system in Portland had its fair share of weirdo's and whatnot, but it was easy to plan, easy to use, and even when crowded pretty friendly. Plus the rest of the city is "fairly" walkable, so if I didn't feel like getting stuck on a train I could just take a longer stroll.
you must have a better way of saying it

Exactly.
I love this, and that a major value in it is feeling refreshed. I think I'm going to try this a bit, time-permitted, and ask for forgiveness later if there's ever an issue. I'm constantly finding gaps in my knowledge that my smarter team members would certainly benefit from me being more on the same page on if I spent more time developing my skills.

The interaction between the salesman and manager is often just a performance to make you think you're getting a good deal. After all, if the manager is thumping his fist on the table (which you can see through the glass), the salesman must be giving you too good a deal, right?

On the flip of this, if it were GPL it likely wouldn't have seen the adoption by commercial companies that it has had. Barring whatever signing key they are talking about, nothing is in principle barring people from forking this and continuing it as open source.

No code has "gone missing" or has become "locked up." You simply don't have access to the new code he's written, and why should you? Frankly, if this were GPL the result would have likely been that he simply stopped working on it. You still wouldn't have gotten any code you think you deserve, and you also wouldn't have the current commercial option.

This example just highlights to me why I prefer licenses like the BSD license.
Yeah, wanted to respond this way. Buybacks are basically a one off dividend. Companies want to return money to shareholders, but don't want to commit to returning a certain amount regularly, so they do buybacks.

Whether the stock is over or undervalued is a bit besides the point, actually. It's a direct flow of cash to investors, that any investor can take advantage if they think the current price is too high (or not, if the price is too low)
Understood! I thought perhaps the more there is available out there the better. I also come from an angle where my experience is from building products for start-ups/entrepreneurs rather than the usual purely academic stance. I thought it would also give an insight on how these products are actually built and what's required. But I appreciate where you’re coming from!
Air France 447: Pilots not properly trained (2009)
The question is, is that really a problem?
No. The share of wealth of the top 0.00025% has tripled.

The pool of people people in that quantile is dynamic.

In 1980, that was about 600 people. In 1980 the richest person in the United States was J. Paul Getty. I imagine most of those people are no longer alive.

In 1980, Jeff Bezos was 15, Bill Gates was 24, Larry and Sergey were 6, and Sergey had been living in the United States for 1 year. It's likely that the effect you're seeing is an artifact of the role technology plays in the economy rather than exploitation or rent seeking.

R&D is an investment. So are buybacks. The powers that be have made the call that at this moment in time buybacks happen to be more lucrative than R&D.
There is significant investment in R&D going on - happening in the form of investments in startups which will be targets of acquisition later on.

Tangential thought:
Startups are experiments that validate theories on product - market fit by generating positive cash flow. As a corollary, if you are a startup, your developers should be focused on validating that theory (iterating on MVP) and not fondly reminiscing and recreating Ginfrastructure(TM). Post acquisition, there will be a rewrite.

As there is a drop in internal R&D, there will be a corresponding rise in acquisitions now or in the next few years. So it is a good time to be working in a startup - preferably one that is making money!

It is useful, or in some cases required when inbound ports/nats can not be opened up. That's why hamachi was so popular with gamers for a while. You basically bridge your LAN with the other players.

In my experience, all Clippy does is find style issues. Perhaps it's more effective in other projects, but in the code I wrote all by myself it didn't find a single error (as in bug). That's not to say Clippy isn't useful. I value style consistency (in this case consistency among the general pool of all Rust programmers and not inside a single project). Of course, YMMV.

> For off by 1 errors, in Rust it’s often better to turn to iterators where appropriate than to say using indexes (it’s also more efficient in most cases).

The off-by-one errors I made weren't related to indexing collections. I don't remember anymore what it was exactly, it got caught by the very first tests I wrote before even trying to use anything. I do use iterators whenever they make sense and I write new iterators whenever it makes sense. Still, good note from you.
Markets can be gamed just like anything else.

In this case, companies are exploiting a short term feedback loop around taxation and share price, to funnel money into the executives and primary share owners.

In the long term -- the next crash will be a doozy.

That's crazy, think about what you're saying.

Yes, this is negligent behavior, yes, Boeing and the FAA should have their come-to-Jesus moment. But the odds of a crash on a MAX for you are one in five hundred thousand. Put another way you have a 0.0002% chance of being involved in a crash.

You have an 0.01% chance of dying each year being involved in a car accident in the United States. That's 50X higher risk. [1] On a per-trip basis it's pretty much the same.

Normally, of course, driving is much more dangerous than flying. On a MAX8 it's ball-park (based on an incredibly limited sample size).

> I'm not sure it's always so great that everything anyone does online will be permanently archived.

But you see, even if the Internet Archive didn't exist, someone would probably still be saving a copy of the things you do. It'd just be a megacorp or surveillance agency instead of a more egalitarian organization.

So the choice isn't "things on the internet are ephemeral" or "things on the internet are available forever to everyone", it's that or "things on the internet are available forever to some subset of the rich and powerful".
I look forward to using this
Some cities simply can't do this, such as Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta. It's not in their DNA. Things are simply too far apart and the infrastructure couldn't hold it. Other cities are moving toward "no cars" by simply allowing gridlock to make driving a car worthless. I visit NYC very often, and we used to take cabs all the time. Now, we never do, unless we have so much luggage we can't manage - it's a nightmare getting a cab through Manhattan. They might as well close most of Broadway, it's just a quagmire.
Well, not always. Personally and professionally I don't optimize for expense alone (often the wrong KPI) but the ratio of value / expense, subject to constraints around expense, cash flow and specifications.

If you optimize for expense alone, you can get things for cheap but you trade off other things like quality and time. Also, ensuring business continuity for good suppliers is an important KPI -- and if you don't take care, in the end you'll end up with only bad suppliers where it's a race to the bottom and everyone loses.

And "ANSI" is also a misnomer.

It's typically used to refer to certain Microsoft 8-bit code pages, like Windows-1252, that extend 7-bit ASCII to 8 bits. My understanding is that these code pages were proposed as an ANSI standard, but never adopted. ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) is similar but not identical to Windows-1252 (Latin-1 has control characters in some positions where Windows-1252 has printable characters -- and Unicode inherits those control characters from Latin-1.)
By the way if you are searching for some cross-platform FUSE-like alternative for a project I encourage you to try WebDAV if something else is your bottleneck.

It saved me some headaches from bundling an installer for macFUSE or Dokan's blue screens in the past. There are server implementations and also FUSE wrappers on GitHub. It's not perfect but worth a try. And it's supported directly by many OS.

The Z80 I enjoy because of nostalgia, largely. I started with a Z80-based system:

https://blog.steve.fi/how_i_started_programming.html

The instruction set is simple, and clean. The fact that you don't need much supporting circuitry to drive it is a nice bonus, but mostly I remember coding the thing when I was 12 or so, and now I know what I'm doing for real :)
In 2008 I found a parcel of bare EPROMs at a flea market container 27 games. 1 of those games was Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park, and it was spread across 12 chips, each one showing a progressive state of development across 9 months.

To my mind, this was the only known find of a vintage Atari 2600 game and its iterative development process. So, 30 years later, the only reason we had this snapshot is because someone found these chips and sold them at the flea.

The current state of digital preservation is abhorrent. Those roms would have taken up less than 1/4 of a 5.25" floppy, but the company behind them never thought to preserve that information or data.

Take2 Interactive republished BioShock in 2012. They couldn't find their source code. They didn't save it. They had to go machine to machine looking for it. The reissued game is not the same as the original.

As a society, we don't place any value on this stuff, but the potential value of it cannot be understood until the future has occurred. Letting it vanish is a disservice to the future. In the past, if a book was published, it wasn't going to vanish if the publisher went out of business, there would simply be no new copies.

In our digital online age, things vanish in seconds, days and hours. This is also a very different state of affairs. In the past we could not save everything, but everything didn't have a clock counting down from the end of the quarter over its head, counting the seconds until it is deleted.

The Library of Congress tries to save everything. Yes, libraries weed the stacks and choose items to host. This is due to space concerns: they can't host everything ever. Digitally, they can, and many host reams of microfilm and old newspapers because they can.

Libraries can, thanks to tech, now host every book ever, digitally, for very low costs. Copyright prevents that.

This is an unabated good. Leaving things behind and forgetting them is how you get Tulsa Oaklahoma, or the Armenian Genocide denials. We don't get to choose what the future finds interesting, and for the first time in history, we do not have to. Why in the every loving fuck would you worry about that?

Most likely, only for personal reasons. This is a humanity level problem. Your personal worries are irrelevant in 100 years when everyone who ever knew you is dead anyway. Geocities would be more interesting at that time, as a subject of study.

I have been thinking for some time about an easy-to-generate metric that seems to be rarely-considered in real-world practice.

UN-PLANNED vs PLANNED WORK

The idea is simply to track the percentage of time that a dev or a team is compelled to work on things that were NOT planned for the current sprint.

This allows you to easily calculate how much of the total time was actually available for planned work.

More often than not I wind up working on teams and projects that pull DEVs into a lot of Production Support work, typically UNPLANNED.

Then folks will go off and try to calculate VELOCITY or something similar, and completely ignore the UNPLANNED work factor -- and even try to increase 'VELOCITY' without any consideration of UNPLANNED.

I would assume each paid invoice was a new transaction ID. The real problem seems like there are two invoices being paid. Not that there are two transactions (which seems like just a symptom). It's possible that each invoice even has it's own ID.

> Paying for shipping is a two-for-one pain deal: Not only are you confronted with the actual cost of your convenience, but you’re being asked to pay “extra” for a store to fork over items you’re already laying out for.

There's also one other effect here that the author of the article overlooked. For a very long time, 'shipping' was often termed 'shipping & handling', and one would order some item that cost, say $30, and be confronted with a $17.99 shipping & handling cost. The trouble was, if one knew roughly the cost of actual shipment of the $30 item, one would find that the shipping part was, say, $5.99, and the handling was $12, meaning the retailer was simply hiding a $12 surcharge on every order in their 'handling' side of the S&H cost figure.

Enough of that, and one begins to irrationally hate all 'shipping charges' no matter what, and want to avoid them everywhere.
>All I really know is I was headed down the wrong path and I've been lying to myself for far too long.

Good for you in a manner speaking. Most people keep 'lying' to themselves their whole lives, not just about their sorry corporate jobs but life in general ( things like marriage, children etc.)

I really hope you succeed in the long run. I'm cheering for you.

> This is criminal behaviour, and people need to go to jail.

Yes.

> The MAX should never be allowed to fly again.

No. Even at 20x the failure rate, flying in a Max -- even with an unmodified MCAS -- is still vastly safer than driving on a per-distance-travelled basis. Part of the problem is that commercial aviation has gotten so ridiculously safe that we've lost all perspective on risk assessment. The Max is actually fundamentally a safe plane. What made it unsafe was the totally fucked up attempt to make its flight characteristic the same as the old 737 so it and its pilots would not have to be re-certified. The right answer is to re-certify. That's expensive, but a lot cheaper than scrapping an entire fleet of brand new planes. Grounding the entire fleet forever is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
