I have searched the definition of existence out of this issue but have never found this article, if I had just seen this article before the 3 year mark. But I have already solved the issue by installing Linux and not installing the Nvidia driver. I will buy a new laptop soon anyways, but I will still run Linux tough. I will try OP's method when I get a new laptop.

I think you really need to chill. What I meant to say is that the environment on Linux systems doesn't do video editing that well at the moment. This doesn't mean that the Linux kernel cannot do video editing at all.

Compared to other platforms like Windows and OSX, video editing on Linux platforms at the moment is not on par with them, and this project is awesome because it's trying to solve this issue.

I've been a Linux user for years, I've tried most video (and audio) editing tools on GNU/Linux systems and I can say that the video side is much more lacking compared to the audio side and I would love for it to become more competent and on par with the rest.

If you want to nitpick without even reading the post you're replying to, maybe you should just do it someplace else. Thank you.

Docker has been usable on non-Ubuntu Linux for a while now (eg [1]). Non-Ubuntu platforms do seem to get exercised less than Ubuntu though.

Well, in my 30ish years of using computers, the PC has run the following operating systems (not a complete list):

CP/M

DOS versions 1 through 7ish

Windows 16bit on top of DOS

Windows 32bit on top of DOS

OS/2

SCO UNIX

Linux

Minix

Mac OS

QNX

Windows NT

Windows 2000

Mac OSX

Windows XP

Windows Vista

Windows 7

Windows 8

All of the above run on a PC, so... Please take off your marketing hat and put on your hat that allows rational thought and answer without the smarm.

The OS IO scheduler is known to be shitty. That's not an exegeration. You can start swapping because the scheduler does not free unused caches fast enough.
This one has a dissertation[1] behind it. Though unread (yet), I think it's well specified.

I agree that my version is horribly ugly :).

However, if you are not going to Follow a Plan, and while you're at it, you are attempting to Eliminate Waste as per the lean thinking movement, one may quickly follow with the conclusion that plans that are not followed are wasteful, and therefore unnecessary.

My experience has shown me that this is the interpretation people very often make. YMMV as always, though.
I can't help but feel like there's a fairly simple heap invariant hiding in the solution here...
Good comment, neverminder!

I always understood agile development as a way to organize your team and yourself in a way that works best for everyone. So don't follow a scheme, even if it's called agile, but think yourself.

Probably this is, how I WANT to understand it, because I don't like to follow rules that make me unproductive, even if others may become more productive by following the same rules.

Who does?
People very often use Linux as shorthand for Linux distribution... which has more to it than the Linux kernel.
If you can drop a bunch of tablets in a village and kids can get themselves up to speed with no supervision, I sure that these problems are insurmountable :-)

The more I read about learning, the more I think structure, testing and to a lesser extent supervision are detrimental to younger kids. My little girl brings home weekly spelling tests at the age of 5, I'd much rather give her things like this, a minimal amount of instruction and let her loose!

This is impressive, comes with a lot of samples, and has the UI components every game studio needs for their tools (timeline editor, state machine editor, proper tree view, etc).

> What I'm talking about is the level of toolchain familiarity where e.g. you can look at a given piece of code and know exactly which opcodes it'll get compiled to, what algorithms those opcodes will employ, and by extension how everything else in the system works.

Indeed, and I can say for sure the author of the post has such a low level knowledge of Perl.
totally agree.

Take ExtJs core, it's a good exemple of over abstracting everything.
But JS is also guilty,guilty of providing "weak" and loose structures.If JS had classes(like ES6),nobody would create all these complicated frameworks to build them.
Except, we aren't. The only reason we do buy at exorbitant rates is because of geo-blocking, and we are fast learning how to bypass geoblocking.
There's virtualization, of course. Client HyperV apparently comes with Windows 8 now[1].

Obviously it's a lot heavier than a container-like system though.

You can't blindly follow a plan, process, or ideal

You can. The question that you might ask is whether the plan is good or not.

You can't follow dogma

As above. Dogma actually has its uses. The trick is knowing how, where and when to use it, or someone who is dogmatic. Machiavellian, but its a tool nonetheless.

Saying we don't need a plan is to thumb our nose at thousands of years of wisdom. Sun Tzu was not stupid when he suggested choosing a path only once the objective and environment are understood. Stephen Covey puts the same concept into modern terms when he suggests beginning with the end in mind.

And that brings us to the disconnect we live in. Developing something using agile practices does not require a plan. A plan is however required at a level above the developer to steer development. As you go, you'll find yourself becoming interested in that plan more and more. It's a natural shift because the plan reflects the strategy, development is purely tactical. Understanding the strategy is motivational - it answers the why. Development is all about the how.

Real value as a developer only comes from experience. An experienced developer is successful in spite of any methodology, approach or framework, not because of it. Something else we're really good at blinding ourselves to.

Experience has no price. It amuses me to no end that we as an industry place higher value on the 20-something hacker than we do on the 50-something veteran. We're unintentionally letting culture hobble our chances of success.
Exactly. That's why I don't call it a "real name policy", but a "no unusual name policy". They ban real people for having unusual names, but a believable pseudonym is perfectly okay.

How to raise over $1million dollars in crowdfunding
Disagree.

Language is not an immutable thing and is always evolving in its use to reflect the concepts of the people using it. I think capitalizing Agile as a noun makes it a "thing" that we can refer to collectively and ultimately helps us communicate about the concepts that it entails. The unfortunate down-side is when a popular term is misused due to ignorance and misunderstanding by a large group of people - which will happen more prevalently as a word becomes popular.

As someone who has had the pleasure of receiving Scrum coaching from Jeff Sutherland, I can say that there is a HUGE difference in understanding between people who spend time to learn it (from a book or coach) and those who muddle their way through - never taking the time to learn about it more deeply and put it to practical use (the only way to truly learn is through doing).

I work at a small company and teach an internal course on the principles of Scrum to our project managers, so I have first-hand exposure here. It's amazing how really smart people who have heard the terms used for several years and even claim to have been involved in Scrum teams at past jobs still have many misconceptions about the core principles and how to practically apply them when the situation arises. There is definitely a shallow understanding amongst a good majority of developers and it's exacerbated by companies that claim to use "Agile" practices yet have only really scratched the surface. It's immediately clear that many have used "Scrum-but" and really only do standup meetings as if that will be all that is needed. Actually many people think Scrum is "that process where you hold standup meetings".

I like Scrum because it brings together not only a way to manage a project, but more importantly a way to lead a team of people! I think being a servant leader to the team and providing them the necessary resources to be at their peak effectiveness is a trait of a good leader. It's actually kind of amazing all the different ways even very smart people can get "stuck" - distracted by a less important task that is shiny and interesting, slog through hours of debugging to resolve an issue that someone else on the team could have helped them with, not communicating with other team members that they can't get their part done unless another has provided them something first. From experience, just helping people identify these blockers and get the team unstuck has been a big win.

I think tools absolutely are a big help too. I've used sticky notes on whiteboards and it's good for small teams that are co-located. It breaks down for distributed teams. We just started using JIRA and it is surprisingly good at helping us managing all of our work which would grow unwieldy using more primitive methods.

I'm not sure how I feel about the agile manifesto. I guess it has its historic place as a reaction against the poor waterfall practices of the past and paved the way for new methods to emerge. Besides that, it seems a bit dated and hasn't served a useful practical purpose for me.
Sir, your comment is intriguing and I want to hear more about it.

What is this philosophically opposite that you mention? Haskell is good at creating domain-specific languages, so I think the differences must be around the superior meta-programming facilities in lisp languages. So, what would you do with Clojure that you couldn't do in Haskell easily?

I'd say this sounds like a case of "Idea whose time has come". Sometimes, the flow of culture and technology creates a situation in which certain ideas keep bubbling up. Might be that decentralized accounting is one of those ideas in this day and age.

I mean, there are a bunch of ideas that half of us have had at one point or another, independently. Decentralized refrigeration boxes for grocery-to-the-home delivery is also one of those ideas, autonomically interacting vehicle computers is another.

Given the massive ramp up in popularity in cider in the UK over the past 10 years I wouldn't be at all surprised at that being a good bet in the USA. In the UK we went from the cider section in the local supermarket having a handful of generic brands to being the same size as the "non generic beer" section.
It is simple to understand and play, and yet very hard to to solve the puzzle, hence making it addictive.
its not even a fair comparison, because it's not comparing .NET with Qt, it's comparing ATF (the name of this toolset) with Qt.

so it's like saying "using our 3d game engine is easier to build games than pure opengl", which makes sense because it was made for it. now when they compare ATF with another toolset like it build in Qt then it will be a fair comparison.

It's dangerous to extrapolate from there to "nobody makes that much". It's only a short leap to "I'll never make that much" and eventually, "$70k/year isn't so bad".

There are in fact lots of developers doing nothing but development making well north of $200k. That's less than a $100/hour bill rate, which is not at all uncommon as a contractor. If that's something you want, know that it absolutely is attainable.

I think you'll find that, in all walks of life, people who make lots of money tend not to post on internet message boards (or salary surveys) about how they make lots of money. Definitely don't take the lack of people spouting off here about their 1%'er incomes as a sign that those people don't exist (or aren't, in fact, here reading this thread).

What a dick, I would not expect "average Joe plumber" to understand SEO, so he hires someone else.

Since there is no governing body or public standards set out by Google and other search engine companies, what chance does he have?

Granted, this person could just have been caught out, but I have heard too many stories of people who are uninformed, and in the end it isn't all their fault. Google is so tight lipped about how it all works. If their spam engine is getting so much better, how about some guidelines so people actually know what they should expect?

I may not know much about plumbing, but I know my plumber should be doing his work in the bathroom. Where is my SEO-wizz meant to be working?

to my ear the audio out of the pi's hdmi port is perfectly fine.
i think the DAC used in the RCA jack is probably not very good. I would pay for a HDMI audio to DAC adapter rather than $33 for another soundcard that just works with the pi.

I know someone with a brewery - it's a pretty small operation with a small bar. It's not a trendy location or operation but he has been going for years.

The biggest problem is governments. Either the local government, which decided to arbitarily start charging commercial premises 90% of the metered incoming water as wastewater, on the assumption that 90% of what comes out the tap goes down the drain. Breweries use a lot of water, so that added costs.

Then the federal government decided that young people were drinking too many strong pre-mixed drinks (alcopops), so they added a massive alcopops tax (a 70% increase) to try and stop young people drinking (yeah, as if that was going to work [1]). While the young people switched to spirits, wine and cider, his business got smashed because one of his big product lines was ginger beer, and for whatever reason some politician or bureaucrat decided that ginger beer counted as an alcopop.

Most of us in the software industry don't realise how much freedom we have. We can start pretty much any type of software company we like, where we like, when we like. Most of us don't even have to tell a single layer of government what we are doing, save for reporting the income to the taxman. The horror stories of random regulation changes on small businesses like breweries and restaurants is the stuff of nightmares. I mean, imagine if a government somewhere decided to arbitrarily add a 70% tax to mobile-app sales. Lots of small developers would go under. But governments routinely do this sort of thing all the time to lots of other small businesses.

TS does have a slightly different focus than YC - first month they tell you to not build a whole lot of stuff but to talk to 90+ mentors (that they curate), then second and third months are balls-to-the-wall build, talk to customers, etc... with the third month having a focus on pitch practice for the CEO.

Likewise, if they have your payment information but no logs tying past activity to specific accounts, that's not much of a problem. VPNs aren't illegal. Really, it all comes down to whether you trust your VPN provider to not keep logs.

Location tracking doesn't drain your GPS. I have at least 4 apps running using location tracking on my iPhone (albeit with the help of the M7) and can go 6+ hours only losing 20% of battery life (implying 30 hours of use.)

The point of that article is that you need to be self reflective and open to change.

I'll post it here again, without any of the other distracting things he said about verbs and so on. Just take a moment to think about what these steps actually mean:

- Find out where you are
- Take a small step towards your goal
- Adjust your understanding based on what you learned
- Repeat

If you want to work as effectively as you can, you should actively change your process constantly based on reflecting on past performance against your goals.

...if you don't care, or can't be bothered, well, that's fine too (self reflection isn't easy); just realize that your own set of pedantic dogmatic rules is no better than any other Agile process set.

Oh yes, that annoying problem (especially fro MongoDB) that data should eventually be committed to a disk.)

Informix (and PostgreSQL) allows DBA to choice "checkpoint/vacuum intervals".

The rule of thumb, unless you are a Mongo fan, is that checkpoints should be performed often enough to not take too long, which depends only on the actual insert/update data flow.

But any real DBA could tell the same - sync quickly, sync often, so server will run smoothly, but not "at web scale" and the pain of recovery will be less severe.)
