My experience is very similar to keithwarren's. I lift almost every work day, and generally just stand to work out some of the stress in my muscles. I prefer sitting. Some days my shoulders will bug me or something so it's nice to be up and shake around a little bit.

The Embody is just the best :-) People can't believe that a chair could make such a huge difference, but it really does.

I'm not sure surprised is the word I'd use to describe their sentiment. I'd guess rather that they originally planned to back down at the first sign of legal threats. Popcorn Time has been circulated as an experiment, not a business, and in that sense it was a success. Also, the code isn't going anywhere, so it's not as if all this work was for nothing.
Time to pay the fiddler, Code.
I heartily believe there's a market for both. Compare a Macbook Pro with a custom built Linux desktop. The MBP is very user friendly, plug n play, and has very little customization capacity. The custom Linux desktop is an absolute tinkerer's paradise, with everything from hardware to software being open for customization.

The car equivalent of these used to exist for daily drivers, but are now relegated mainly to closed course competition vehicles (much to my delight). The Radical SR is probably my favorite one, consisting of a modular vehicle that can be built from a kit shipped in boxes of parts [1].

There is extreme pleasure to be had from driving both a Tesla, and a Radical SR. But both have very different uses, and very different performance and maintenance criteria.

This is an understandable decision from Firefox's perspective. Windows 8/8.1 are
okay on tablets, but if the interface and implementation requires a lot of
polish, they need the user base to get it there.

I think one problem with Metro adoption has actually been the way one browser
vendor in particular treated its users. I'm talking, of course, of Google
Chrome. For a long period of time, reinstalling Chrome meant getting dropped
into a hideous, single-window "Metro" implementation that offered none of the
benefits of the environment, and every downside. I would prefer to use IE
in full screen mode over "Chrome in Windows 8 Mode" and that's saying something.

Now Google's "Windows 8 Mode" is essentially a ChromeOS implementation in
Windows, which I sort of think is cool, and mostly think is just perplexing for
users.

I wonder why no one - Mozilla, Google, Opera - has implemented exactly what IE
does. A very simple interface with not a lot of bells and whistles, an address
bar, a tab picker, and a full screen browser. Maybe it's because Google Chrome
doesn't seem to work well with multitouch - support seems to be based on the
whims of the version number - and Mozilla's engine similarly seems to have
interactivity issues.

As a result, I get the feeling when using these browsers on a Surface Pro that
no one at Google or Mozilla is too. For over a year, pinch to zoom and other
multi-touch gestures didn't work on Chrome. Or they would on Canary or Dev, but
only for a few weeks, before suddenly not working again. Pinch to zoom is
abhorrent on Firefox - a clunky experience that makes me regret doing it every
time. And scrolling requires two fingers on Firefox - or at least it does in
Nightly now - and so for the longest time I thought it didn't work at all. I
don't know why they've decided their browser is the only one that needs two
fingers to scroll. Chrome works terribly on a mid to high DPI display. I can't
for the life of me close a tab.

The result is clunky. Users don't want clunky things. Chrome defaulting to Metro
mode for Windows 8 users during a period when the browser barely or
intermittently supported touch leaves me with only foul things to say to a Chrome dev
or their program manager if I ever meet one. Likewise, I can't understand why
Firefox is making Firefox in Metro a major project - give me a full screen
interface to Gecko with a big address bar at the top or bottom and let me use
that.

EDIT: WHOA! Firefox Nightly's (30.x) Windows 8 mode is actually decent. Pinching to zoom doesn't inflict masochistic terrors on me, and one finger is all that's necessary to scroll. When did this happen and why doesn't someone tell people about it?
So, you are bringing up a document used to justify the coup as a credible source of accusations that were never proven in the years following its original publication, despite the interest of a government that used violence routinely to prove them and justify its own brutality as a lesser of two evils.

Excuse me if I find it difficult to believe in it. I don't think you should take it as a representation of the truth either.
I think it boils down to the psychology of "something to gain" vs. "something to lose". New creatives who are kickstarting and bootstrapping lean towards the former, and are fine with relinquishing control if it means they get sales at all. Old guard suits are banking on a statistically predictable return rate, and focus on reducing risks to that return, even at the cost of additional short-term profits or long-term goodwill.

Of course, the fact that Veronica Mars was kickstarted puts a hole in my theory. :) I'm guessing that its stakeholders are still partially in the old guard mindset, and/or they're trusting Hollywood's "best practices" for digital distribution. (They may also be under pre-existing contract restrictions for the Veronica Mars IP.)
Why do you really need it to be portable outside of Linux? I don't imagine many services will evolve to run on other platforms in their lifetime without significant configuration changes anyway.

I can't really argue the point about complexity though.

Coauthor here. Well, this is a surprise! This project was mainly borne out of our frustrations with Chef and then Ansible for configuring our servers.

A few thoughts:
1) This project is incomplete and is more of a concept than anything. We wrote it literally in an afternoon, and were giggling like schoolgirls the whole time.

2) There is value in what Ansible provides. It does a lot of things for you. FSS did not replace ansible where we work.

All that being said however, I feel like this (or a project like this) does have merit, if executed properly. I feel that once you get used to how FSS works, it might be a good solution for you. We intentionally tried to keep it as simple as possible.
It would be nice if there was a way to use this without having to deal with obscenities. Not everyone finds this funny. Useful idea though :) At least for early stage projects, I can imagine it getting complicated quickly.
I have an old car, which has a little bit of non-upgradeable firmware in its ECU, and a motorcycle, which has no electronics more complicated than the turn-signal flasher relay. Even an electric car doesn't have to be built with some crazy upgradeable touch-screen computer; it could just be a car.

Anyone who's used the app can back me up when I say this:

It is one of the most beautifully designed apps I've ever seen. Every interaction adds to the functionality. The balance of beautiful and functional is amazing. Sure, many of the interactions may have been done before in other apps, but it's the whole package that blows me away.

The whole "LOL THEY AINT GON MAKE THE $$$$" is a tired argument. The more interesting conversation to be had centers around the design.

It's not a franchise in between. The terminology makes it more confusing than it should be. The dealers buy franchise rights (right to sell that product) from the manufacturers, becoming "franchisees" - franchise owners. So my local Chevy dealership has a franchise from GM. Typically they also have rights to perform service and are certified for repairs on various brands.
regardless of absolute terms of high pay within the industry, if they are concerned about a shortage then it can't possibly be high enough.

> Is there any assurance that someone can't just break into whatever facility you're housing these machines in, and walk off with all my data? Do I even know that you're going to be in business in 5 years? What happens if someone DDOSes your infrastructure?

You receive no such assurances from Rackspace, OVH, Hetzner, Softlayer, etc. They could all go out of business, anybody could walk out with your data, and if you're getting DDOSed, well, as always you're getting your checkbook out to mitigate it unless you have a very large team (in which case, why are you going with a hosting company anyway?).

OP is going for the Digital Ocean of physical machines. Treat it as such. If someone wanted assurances, they're going to pay out the nose and go with an established provider.

Not necessarily low, but not enough to compensate for being disrespected within company culture.
I think I worked for Cathy Bessant at BAC.

Here is why they can't retain talent:

* No career path for engineers. There are no criteria for promotion, there are no positions for technical people above "vice president". (A fancy-sounding title, but it's basically equivalent to "senior software engineer". Google has 5 more promotions after "senior".) I never saw anyone worthy get promoted, but I did see promotions used to play games.

* Performance reviews are useless. It's 100% manager driven, and your manager's not a programmer. Despite solving problems for teams in Singapore, Chicago, and New York, with recognition from the CTO of the company, I never got a performance review higher than "meets expectations". Are you fucking kidding me?

* Uncompetitive compensation. Google pays me twice as much as BAC. The peer bonuses I've received at Google sum to more than I ever got in real bonuses or raises at BAC.

* No perks whatsoever. People got notes from building management for having too many figures on their desks. Want coffee? Leave and buy it. Want food at 6pm? Leave and buy it, except you're in the financial district, so just give up and go home.

(They were so intent on cost cutting that they actually installed waterless urinals. The whole building smells like urine as a result!)

But yeah, just hire a bunch of college kids that don't know any better. LGTM.

(Some other posts mention things like "lack of autonomy" as being their problem. That's not their problem. You can do whatever you want and you mostly have the freedom to solve problems the way you want to. You just aren't going to be rewarded for doing a good job, because nobody can tell the good from the bad.)

Two things:

1) I didn't even bother to install Firefox on my Windows 8 tablet because I didn't know about this feature; had I known, I would have.

2) http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-launch-firefox-... seems a far cry from a "giant button" - not only do I rarely if ever use that menu (because keyboard shortcuts) but I doubt I'd have picked up on that option unless I were looking for it.
I really like the idea of those Logitech mice, but having briefly used one, I find that the flywheel mechanism really compromises the middle click. The Magic Mouse also has the advantage of being able to scroll in any direction, which is far more useful than you might think. Finally, it's just nice to have a device that has a minimum of mechanical parts; I feel a lot more confident dropping my Magic Mouse on the floor, since there's not a lot in there that can break.
The team that built it isn't acting surprised. I'm a little bit surprised that something more severe didn't happen, such as some of the developers being targeted specifically. All for a product that gets data which is already out there and feeds it to you.
That's actually kind of disappointing. It was nice to use it on my underpowered laptop, and it tended to work fine.

I can't imagine the intersection of "people who use Aurora" and "people who use Windows 8.1" and "people who will set their default browser to Metro mode and then use something else in desktop mode" was ever that great to begin with, though (myself and... maybe 2 others?) so I can't really say I'm surprised.
Forgive me if I missed something but it sure sounds like banks are going to get their teeth knocked out if that's what they think constitutes 'hand-to-hand combat' for recruiting tech talent. It's good to focus more on engineering schools but that is only putting you at the start line against everyone else trying to recruit IT grads.

I don't know the financial industry well, but it sounds like they have some of the myopia problems that other old, big industries have when it comes to recruiting IT people. They look around and wonder why people don't want to work with them, and think if only they recruit harder they'll fix the problem.

IMO part of their problem is that their organizational cultures don't put a high priority on IT, nor do they necessarily give IT the autonomy they need to deliver value. So if you do succeed in hiring great people they'll get frustrated and eventually leave. The work is naturally not going to be as sexy as startup land or dedicated tech companies, but the bureaucracy is a killer.

The other side of that is that IT people aren't valued as much as managers and regular line of business employees, so naturally they're loath to pay at market rates for IT people.

I wouldn't drop Metro completely, but I'd offer a start menu as an option.
A dealer IS a franchisee. They've been given a franchise by the manufacturer to sell (and service and offer financing for) cars in exchange for meeting a variety of conditions. A similar model is followed for many types of chains, such as restaurants. So the dealer is a middleman that performs various tasks that the manufacturer would otherwise have to do themselves. US auto manufacturers originally went with this approach to avoid many of the costs associated with selling direct (and generally setting up their own manufacturer-owned dealerships).

I agree. It seems like there's something missing to the story. It makes sense that this is not a battle some people want to fight, but they clearly did want to when they created the app.
> Piracy is not a people problem. It’s a service problem.

I'd say its a pricing problem.

Right now 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is available from Amazon Instant Video at $20. On your popular torrent site virtually the same product is available for $0 + (riskOfGettingCaught * $1,000,000 fine) = $0.000001 ?

You can either try to increase the riskOfGettingCaught or decrease the legal price.

I think the industry should do what Hulu has done over the past 5 years. Give the product away virtually for free, collect an enormous user base while you starve/kill the demand for the equivalent torrents, slowly increase the price of the service until you find equilibrium, then profit.

But hey, maybe piracy isn't really a problem? The greatest assumption people make is that because someone downloaded a movie illegally they were willing to buy it for $20. Which is false. I'd have to imagine that selling 'The Wolf of Wall Street' for $20 on Amazon is more profitable than selling it for say $19 and capturing a few pirate consumers.

But I wonder if theres a number between $0 and $19 that captures enough of the piraters to be more profitable than $20?
Same thing from a different angle, but still interesting.

We're using Chef right now, and evaluating other options. They seem to either be between way too over-engineered, or not flexible enough, but nowhere in between. I'd love to see a tool like yours be brought to full maturity, then I think I'd love to use it.
Not criticizing them, but if you're buying that many treasuries, it might be a good time to start paying dividends instead.
I gotta know...

Do the scripts reproduce with all that fscking going on?
Is using git submodules also frowned upon? (I'm aware that gitmodules UI is horrible but let's pretend it wasn't)

It seems natural to me to handle "lock in precise deps" on the version control level. Of course there is value in tools like npm & bower intelligently resolving deps with "soft lock in" like "~1.2.3" but it makes sense to me that I'd have to commit the resulting precise versions as a new submodules state.

- I now discovered "npm submodule" command but once checked out "npm will stubbornly refuse to update" them. Why?
- I tried to google for bower submodules and nobody seems to even voice the idea, although bower is more git-centric.
What am I missing?

P.S. I should admit that I'm biased by not wanting to give up the convenience of Github Pages for pure html/js (without any build/minify steps) — Pages supports submodules (one level deep) so I can just push. I should graduate to Heroku which can do arbitrary build on push I guess...

Still, there will always be reasons why some people DO check in deps and advise others to do so. Why not natively support submodules as the less harmful way to do that?
I'm pretty sure that's not true, and many people do very much buy a device for one killer app. Look at games consoles, if the tablet market alone isn't convincing.

However, I very much doubt anyone is going to buy a tablet-style device (of any brand) for this kind of application, because it's a silly kind of application to run on a tablet-style device.
From my experience it's been the same in Aurora 28/29--at least for the scrolling, I can't recall ever having pinch to zoom issues.
