i was advised to engage with the guy/manager i really hated. as in talk to him every day, ask and see what he likes. you know, make him feel like he's important to me. once he's in his comfort zone, things may change. it doesn't really mean you'll like him, but it'll get him off your back.

I was also given two other valuable pieces of advice.

1. try asking the 5 whys [1]. for those that don't know it's basically a simple technique to find out why people do the things they do. it doesn't have to be a good reason, but most of the times it's not a malicious reason why people do things. sometimes though it's malicious. you should be wary of those people.

2. don't marry your job. there's no point getting emotional about things you don't own. in the end you own the things you do in your free time and what you get paid for is your job. so if someone does an incredibly stupid decision, it's their problem.

in practice though, i have problems not getting emotional when people are trying to do incredibly stupid decisions.

Satoshi's response wasn't vague though. It was detailed.

* I'm not working on this
* Anymore (i.e., I was before)
* It's been turned over to other people (i.e. there were other parties involved in this work)
* They are in charge of it now (i.e. there was a project to be in charge of, and Satoshi had been the one in charge)
* I no longer have any connection (i.e. he did used to have a connection).

That's not a vague set of facts about something which this libertarian, privacy-minded genius just happened to be mistaken with. It's a detailed accounting, one which is "the exception that proves the rule". By listing what is not true he is definitely implying what is true.

Author here.

I've put together a write-up of the various stages of IT monitoring maturity most organizations go through. Feedback is always welcome.

WHAT: It includes the various types of monitoring, main coverage points, and typical implementation approaches and protocols involved. I also mention a few of the most commonly overlooked items in each stage.

WHY: I find it useful to understand the various key stages so that I can recognize where an organization is in its level of maturity, as well to introduce some tangible milestones around where the stakeholders want to go.

Perhaps a few of you will find it useful.

Feel free to share/re-post/distribute within your organization. Feel free to comment here, on the post, or drop me a note privately if that's more your thing.

>It's entirely possible that people will trade and do business in USDcoin...This is a reality that regulators will have to get used to.

I'm not sure about this one. Regulators have a tendency to "motivate" others to "get used to" things, not the other way around.

With E-gold years ago, the proprietors were criminally indicted for activity that took place on their network.

With your architecture, if the Feds deemed that their was laundering taking place or the exchange was otherwise being used to facilitate illicit activity, then I can easily envision them expanding the "responsible parties" definition beyond gateway operators to any node in the exchange. This, of course, would mean that anyone participating would be liable for activity that routed through them, thereby having a chilling effect on participating peers. So, if their goal is to shut down the exchange, they can effectively do so via this implicit threat of criminal prosecution.

If any of this sounds far-fetched, you really have to review the E-gold case [0] to see just how much the regulatory regime will contort itself to keep financial transactions under its constant watch.

I don't see formal proofs replacing acceptance tests. I see them helping you build leak-proof abstractions upon which you assemble the domain where your functionality is implemented. The line between those two positions is blurry and, despite the sound of it, your need to be comprehensive with a formal proof also varies due to possibility and value.

All of these things are just tools after all—you use them to produce value. I think you've described one potential future with this technology, but it, I feel, is very narrow.

One thing that does seem to be playing out is that for many interesting programs the establishment of the theorem is sufficiently challenging that the proof need not be relegated to "junior programmers" but instead automated entirely. Of course, that said, typically a primary tool in the search for a well-specific theorem is a long series of failed attempts to prove its poorly-specified predecessors.
Not exactly the same case, but it sure is nice to be independent of calling System.getCurrentTimeMillis() in the code under test. One example of how to do it (in a simple case): "TDD, Unit Tests and the Passage of Time" http://henrikwarne.com/2013/12/08/tdd-unit-tests-and-the-pas...

Yes, but if you are leaning on your test suite to verify a huge refactor, you are unlikely to make the kind of sweeping design changes that are sometimes needed.

For example, say your ORM is causing major trouble and you need to replace everything from the controller back to the database. Heck, maybe you decouple the whole backend out into an API. The only tests that help you are the end to end tests. The rest of your test suite for your backend needs to be thrown away as much as your backend itself does.
By reading the unit tests and code comments, and comparing them against bits of the actual codebase, you can gain a better understanding of what the previous programmer was thinking and what he was trying to accomplish.
Wikipedia is a good start: "By his senior year of high school, Parker was earning more than $80,000 a year through various projects, enough to convince his parents to allow him to skip college and pursue a career as an entrepreneur" seems like the mark of someone who might go on to something interesting.

If this was a genuine question and you were expecting some informed answers, consider writing it in a different way. It hasn't attracted very high quality responses.
If it was "detailed", you wouldn't need to (put everything that you think in parentheses).

Let me re-paranthesize your quote:

* I'm not working on this * Anymore (he never worked on it) * It's been turned over to other people (this is a public project with dozens of people involved, publicly) * They are in charge of it now (yes, they (as in the publicly acknowledged open source project) are in charge of it now) * I no longer have any connection (i.e. he never had a connection).

> he is definitely implying what is true

What evidence do you have that any of his "implications" are worthy of truthfulness? (or that he's a "genius")?

What other "genius" level work has he produced? Or something even close to what would normally be considered "genius".

I used to worry about this too, but finally concluded that me not understanding it was in and of itself grounds for rejecting that review. 90% of the time well structured code (and tests, and good comments, etc etc) should be enough on their own to make it easy for me to understand. In the rare cases when the nature of the change means that's not enough then people ideally provide any additional explanation in a note accompanying the review (or in a crucible comment). (In practice I reckon most of the time these explanatory notes probably belong in code comments anyway.)

We have a very strong culture of constructive code review though - I guess you might have some work to do to get those more experience coders to get into the mindset that would accept this sort of feedback in a positive way

How about a refund for my taxes that supported an asphalt wasteland while I spent years living in a suburban hellhole? Parking tickets are issued because you don't have a right to unlimited free automobile storage. Hell, why can't I park a hot tub in front of my house in the same spot? Would be a lot more fun.
I like the system we have in Philadelphia. To contest a minor traffic ticket, you don't have to show up in court or anything like that. There's a website where you can type in your ticket number, write why the ticket was incorrect, and upload evidence to support the claim. It's quite straightforward.
That's a good inference, but it was actually mentioned by the journalist who wrote this article.

> If they were for safety or actual enforcement, the punishments wouldn't be so heavily weighted towards fines.

I don't disagree with your conclusion, but I disagree with your argument.

Any punishment other than a fine for parking or speeding violations would be draconian, except for repeat offenders.

It's not OK to throw someone in jail or suspend their license (potentially removing their ability to get to work) for a minor speeding violation.
The anger is coming from the bitcoin community, mostly because they're afraid for Satoshi's life. Someone could kidnap/torture him to try to get his bitcoins.

It doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is that for some of my FB friends, every 3rd post is a planned parenthood story because that's what they've decided to hyper-focus on. Since I know that everything they post will be a PP press release or new story, their feed is now entirely information free and I can unfollow it without missing anything. Got it, Planned Parenthood did or stood for something that's important to them.

I also have people who non-stop, 20-30 times a day, post patriotic pro-gun items or a few that pretty much only post pictures of Obama Photoshoped to look like the Devil or Stalin or whatever that I've had to unfollow as well.

My own mother is on the unfollow list because all she posts are heart warming pictures of lakes and natural settings with religious quotes and ghostly pictures of Jesus or whatever on them.

It's endless. I honestly don't know how they never just get bored or tired of it.

In an effort to find more signal in the noise of my feed I just simply turn those people off and if I need to I tell them to just message me if they need me to know something. (Of course now I get religious quotes emailed to me a few times a week...)

Let me look at one of my unfollowed: last 10 posts

1. Picture of soldiers firing guns with a patriotic slogan

2. Picture of a Navy Anchor

3. Some kind of rambling statement about God and country and service.

4. A picture of a congressional hearing with the following text "Facebook wants to delete all pro-gun rights pages: Share this if you think that's a bad idea"

5. Picture of his new indoor gun range

6. Picture of some war memorial statues

7. Picture of guys in Colonial costume reenacting the revolutionary war.

8. Picture of a handgun with the following text "GUNS My right to own one is what protects your right to tell me I can't: like and share"

9. Picture of a handgun, a combat knife and some money

10. Picture of an outdoor shooting range next to a Lincoln style lodge

And I'm not even back into Feb yet.

Here's another one...this goes back to Jan.

1. Picture of a black woman with an inspirational quote

2. image of text supporting gay rights

3. image of a guy holding out his hand, text reads "Just let the lesbian and gay people get married and calm the fuck down"

4. Image of the MLK diner sit ins with inspirational quote

5. Picture of a football player coming out as gay with inspirational quote

6. Statement being upset about some legal issue surrounding gay people.

7. Picture of the pope with link to Dailykos about Rush Limbaugh being a bad person

8. Link to thinkprogress about how Racism caused the shutdown

9. dailykos link about a right-wing truckers beltway blockade

10. link to thenewcivilrightsmovement.com concerning a gay rights issue

"Being labeled Satoshi regardless of truth is pretty much going to get you robbed, kidnapped or killed."

People say that a lot as it pertains to Satoshi, but I don't see any realistic basis for it except watching too many bad movies. Even if you had $400M in stolen bitcoin, how are you going to unload that quickly enough for the payoff to be worth murder/kidnap or whatever else? The Winklevii seem to have fulltime jobs getting PR on the fact that they hold $40M in bitcoin, what's the tipping point at which they will certainly be killed?

If a "feature" of bitcoin is that if you happen to get wealthy in it you're bound to be killed, well that's a pretty shitty feature of a currency. Luckily, the idea that this will happen is just hogwash.

The whole beauty of bitcoin is that because nobody is sure how to regulate it, you can steal/embezzle huge amounts of it and likely never get in trouble. Why fuck that up with the dirty business of murder and kidnapping, which are very clearly illegal?

> It's not OK to throw someone in jail or suspend their license (potentially removing their ability to get to work) for a minor speeding violation.

Agreed. At the same time, this would entail correcting law enforcement of speed limits to be more realistic, with other traffic citations directing you to remedial training/driving school that is affordable and not profit driven.

Self-driving cars make all this moot though. The sooner they get here, the better.

The idea that splitting up functions makes code more complex is ridiculous. The author claims splitting up functions is "destroying your system architecture". He's trying to claim the exact opposite of what usually happens.

If the code needs to be split up to support testing then its likely that the code should be split up to support other development. Splitting up large functions generally makes software better. Whether that splitting is done as part of normal refactoring or is motivated by a test suite seems irrelevant. Saying that small methods lead to complex code is insane.
