They do - frequently and often. If you see a deep and non-personality based conflict it means there is a political disjoint within the company - the incentives for either side are misaligned - either because one or both sides have lost contact with customers and that having to clearly and logically spell out the disjoint is raising up a political problem the hierarchy is unwilling to deal with.

In short, if we don't address the difference in strategy represented by the Sales Director and the Operations Director then when the two different strategies and priorities are given to a programmer to implement - we can blame their kvetching on "IT guys"'instead of the two directors.

As for a solution: I would abandon Agile in such cases (!) and ask the board of directors onto a two day coached off site where we will address the issue. And suggest everyone polish their CVs in case.

The founders usually put money in and don't get a salary. The early employees put nothing in, but get (a lower than market) salary. I am not saying the percentages are okay, but that's usually how it's rationalised.
Of course this doesn't apply to Silicon Valley bubble companies, where you might raise $1MM+ on day one, put zero money of your own in and pay yourself a salary as founder from Day one. Hard to argue then that you deserve a 30x equity differential from your first employees.

> The correction is veeeeery small.

Indeed it is. The only place I can think where such a small correction matters is in the GPS system. The accuracy of the GPS system depends on tracking down and eliminating every possible source of error, and to maximize position accuracy, two relativistic effects are accounted for:

1. The time dilation caused by the satellites' velocity, from Special Relativity.

2. The rate of time passage at orbital altitude compared to that at the surface, which reflects the gravitational well effect of General Relativity.

The two effects move in opposite directions, but they don't cancel out. The applied correction (to the orbiting clocks) is very small indeed, but enough to avoid a gradual but serious decline in positional accuracy over time.
>Truth: you’ll have more freedom to choose the projects you work on and how you do them

This is contrary to my experience. In startups, any time you're not spending developing the core product in the quickest way possible (i.e. the currently established way, don't go exploring whether a new way might be quicker) is seen as time ticking away on the death clock.

In a large corporate environment, I've been much freer, because we can afford to play the long game. I've been able to choose projects, define completely novel ones, choose different technologies to use, rather than the established stack (and indeed, change what the "established stack" is).
> I can't let my mind wander though

I force myself to. I just simulate what happens when I really start falling asleep. I create random thoughts and I chain them as fast as possible.

Example:

If I break the ice with my hammer the calendar will fall on monday, but I have to escape from a huge mountain today, etc... Works super well for me. If I really need to sleep I'll use that technique, if I'm not sleepy I can do that for like 20 minutes, I have to focus not to think about something and just think about those random and nonsense stuff and I will fall asleep eventually.
that entirely depends on the magnitude of the experiment.

If we were approaching any "universal energy" limitations, it'd stand to reason that our technology would be very much different than our technology now -- perhaps universe sized experiments would be feasible by that point, at which time we may hit a limit imposed on us not by anything other than the length of time since the last universe formation event, and our poor luck in meeting that point in technology at a time where the energy no longer exists to fuel it.

Unlikely, and I think your idea of life being threatened before science is probably much more rational, but it's fun to think about. Plus, if we were using that much energy for a single experiment, one would wonder about that experiments' safety.

I'm not sure how much value there is in putting it out there

There's a huge amount of value in sharing 'failed' experimental data and analysis (so long as the experimental methodology was sound). People can learn new things from meta-analysis of failures and correlating disproved theories against proven ones. In fact, there are journals dedicated to it; http://www.jnrbm.com/ and http://www.arjournals.com/ojs/ are examples.

I say this to help you, feel free to ignore it.

When you get a downvote, ignore it. It's probably accidental or meaningless and these tend to self correct over a day.

When people downvote a bunch of your posts in a thread IGNORE THE DOWNVOTES. Vindictive downvote sprees are usually corrected over the course of the day. Mentioning the downvotes will usually prevent those corrective upvotes. Me tioning the downvotes in the unpleasant way that you do will attract downvotes.

You may wish to consider how you're presenting the information. If the first table of numbers gets downvotes posting the same table again without more information is going to get the same downvotes.

You could argue that it should not be this way, but it is.
As Tim said, Safari is actually both (2000+ on-demand video courses plus all the books and a bunch of conference videos). And in our usage data, we see most people do both things -- short "ad hoc" learning, especially during the work day, with longer sessions of activity, both in video and books, in the evenings. The trend is especially pronounced with mobile devices, as mobile usage peaks on the weekend and includes a much longer average session length than we see on the desktop.
Thanks for the tip, for some reason it never occurred to me to do this for large interfaces.
This looks much better, although not as simple as mocking in Java with an advanced mocking tool like JMockit. It could be hard to avoid accidental integration tests with this approach.

> Your FooDB implementation could be using any number of underlying technologies MongoDB, LevelDB, SQL, etc and it can change as your app changes and this change is transparent to the rest of your app (since the rest of your app uses FooDS).

While this is a noble goal, when someone is building a new API or project, it's often impractical to commit to building an entire, full featured data layer in the process.

Also in practice, database connectivity ends up being a fairly leaky abstraction, even if you write a database abstraction layer. Behaviors around CAP tradeoffs will bleed into your higher layers and require refactoring if you switch from one DB to another (unless you're going from one RDBMS to another).
Sometimes IT staff don't get on with people from "the business" and sometimes people from one department of "the business" don't get along with someone from another part of "the business". Usually stems from a lack of empathy. Often people get so wrapped up in their own department's work that they don't stop to consider how things are working in other departments and what pressures the other person may be facing.

Totally frustrating for all concerned. It so often feels like everyone has forgotten why they are there (to define, build, test and ship something) and just spend their whole time butting heads against each other because the other person is not doing things exactly the same way as they do.

No, either the GUI toolkit that ST3 uses, or ST3 itself, renders the sidebar. What desktop environment you're using has nothing to do with it - you can run Qt apps on GNOME without them somehow magically turning into GTK apps.
Wave-particle duality
Deliveries are still a pain right now because you have to be present at the destination to receive the package. Or you have to fetch the package yourself at a designed location. I believe that a lot of Internet sales are lost to local businesses because of that.

In the future it will be common for homes to have a drop point that accepts larger parcels than mail. It will be a feature that people are going to look for when renting/buying homes. With that in place and a good standard drone delivery will also become more practical for the last mile.

Ideally someone would step up and develop a standard similar to what happened to shipping containers. That would help the adoption tremendously.

Funnily enough, a lot of Java code does what the Go code did: it mocks by defining interfaces and then attaching either production or mock code as required. See SpringMVC for an example.

Why? Because Java mocking libraries aren't perfect either. If you're using an injection framework, it tends to be trickier to arrange the injection of the right object in the right place and when you don't, the breakages tend to be mysterious.

Then you get into the exciting world of bytecode manipulation, which is necessary for some mocking libraries.

And, most annoyingly, it's basically impossible to mock static methods.

I've worked in projects that used extensive Java mocking and on a project that used Go with hand-rolled mocks. I experienced far less pain with Go, because everything was plain and simple. All we needed was to verify behaviour and we did that with relative ease.

I'd note that the only 3rd-party libraries we used were Ginkgo/Gomega, to support a more spec-style of testing.

Your last part sounds like one of Bruce Schneier's Movie Plot Terrorist Threats. Mainly in the sense that weaponized biologics (threat-du-jour: Ebola; Anthrax) could already be dispersed by consumer crap coming from anywhere in the world, eg. a sticky tape containing Anthrax spores sneaked into the CPU cooling-fan assembly plant and stuck inside the vent so that every time your CPU fan runs it spews out spores. For Ebola, you just mix a few drops of the bodily fluids of a patient who died of Ebola into one of those fancy tetra-pack coconut juice boxes using a few syringes and have instant Armageddon. All of these are purely fictional scenarios, of course, but hey the three letter government agencies need to scare the shit out of the public to get increases in their funding now don't they!?!
Typesafe's case study about Datazenit
The first time I ever cold called anyone I was terrified. I don't know why, but I think there's a natural fear of rejection. Fortunately, my co-founder taught me how to do it and now it comes as natural as programming. This article doesn't mention it explicitly, but having a professional teach you how is what you need to get past that initial fear of rejection.
In my experience, the gap was more between "people that do things/makers" (designers, hackers, texters, testers, linguists, statistics people) and "people that talk" (aka business type people, usually economy students). It occured that the talking-only people where at some point so out of touch from the work that actually happens, but yet in charge, and interfering with everybody.

I’m surprised they didn’t include the word “Launch” in there somewhere, among the other buzzwords.
There definitely is a schism, and I think it's largely down to different mind sets. Business people, have to be people people. They have to be able to manipulate emotions and be persuasive.

Whereas programmers tend to be more absolute, more black and white. We haven't evolved our skill sets to include persuasiveness or the businessman like people abilities, simply because we haven't had to.

Both types have adapted to their own environments, and they're entirely different environments.

I think a big part of the problem with programmers and business types is both parties not understanding each other psychologically. Programmers are strange creatures, often stubborn, highly intelligent, don't like being told what to do.

Project managers however are highly motivated, hard-working and like to push things forward. But you have to know how to speak to programmers, we're good at figuring out the 'how's' but we also need to know the clear 'why's'. They need to make the case to us instead of just telling us what to do, we like to feel in control. But they often give orders and we get defensive.

In summary, programmers need to understand that project managers and business people are just trying to push things forward, it's their job to try to get things done (let's face it, a lot of us would be sat on here all day without them). But business people need to understand what they need and be able to explain it properly to us without giving us direct orders.

I'll just say this : your data is not private. Take a divorce proceeding (which is a CIVIL proceeding) from the last 5 years. Press CTRL-F, "facebook", and recoil in horror.

Basically all your cloud data will be used against you in any civil dispute in the US. So remember when you use web apps : anything you type in there is accessible to anybody who enters into a serious court case with you.

Another example : any office 365 document (esp. spreadsheets) WILL be read by the IRS if they ever decide to sue you (and you'll pay the wage of the person doing it, to make matters worse, whether or not they find any wrongdoing). Again, the evidence is plain to see in court transcripts.

And, lastly, sometimes your accounts will be compromised in petty legal disputes.

Therefore my policy is :

1) As microsoft has publicly demonstrated, they will use your hotmail stored information and use it to take action against you. If you work for a company that has a cloud platform, or a company that has a significant relationship to one of the cloud platform companies, you're taking unacceptable risks.

2) any dollar sign in any mail to me will immediately result in dead silence. I'll call you up and warn you to never do that again. If it's important enough I'll call. And if it's really important I'll drop by. Both kinds of interactions have vastly superior legal protection.

3) I will NEVER negotiate or store any contract over email, not even my freaking cell phone bill. I have them on my (encrypted) hard drive, of course, even indexed. But contracts on online services is just stupid.

Note that this behaviour is NOT illegal : the purpose here is to safeguard my personal information, which is a normal thing to do that is in fact encouraged by the relevant departments. I am trying to hide personal information from everybody and everything, which is my right.

I would say even getting constant liquid nitrogen resupplies is not trivial. Think of the unthinkable: a war around the compound for years, cutting of the supply. There's many other scenaries which makes the problem hard.
It is difficult to imagine how those examples could be accomplished using a drone alone (with limited range and capacity). I think that delivery automation is a good idea but it must be very difficult to link up disperate types of service without relying on massive monolithic courier companies.
I hope you're being tongue in cheek, because if not you've missed the point that while you think that, business people will think exactly the same about you from the other side.
Ask HN: Requirements for voting software
My housing community plans to buy an electronic voting system as a service from our administrator company. I consider this a very dangerous arrangement since we would pass all control over the basis of our self-government to a contractor.

All of this is exacerbated by the terms of use that make the voting secret, waive all warranties of the system and forbids us from disclosing any information about the system (i.e. consulting external experts) - in this way the people will have no way to check if the voting system is working correctly.

Is that even possible to have an honest secret voting in such an arrangement? In the current way it not only limits our means of control of the voting process honesty - but it is secret only to the members of the community and not to the administrator. I guess this might be possible with some cryptographic systems - but it would probably not be practical when most of the users are not computer experts.

What would be the other requirements for such a system that you'd recommend?

From Wikipedia:

However, as with many North American aboriginals, the Sadlermiut were often susceptible to Western diseases. By 1896, there were only 70 of them remaining. Then, in the fall of 1902, the British trading/whaling vessel named the Active had made a stop at Cape Low, Southampton Island. It is said that some of the Sadlermiut caught a disease, possibly an influenza, typhoid or typhus, from a sick sailor aboard the Active, which then spread to the entire community. By winter 1902-03, the entire Sadlermiut population had died as a result.

It's quite possible that due to their isolation and subsequent contact with Europeans and Thule, the main population of Dorsets died out in the same way.
