My experience and knowledge are fairly limited here, as I've only been working in Germany for a year and only in Cologne. However, my impression is that software developer salaries are generally somewhat lower in Germany than in the US. This is particularly true if you're using Silicon Valley or NYC salaries for comparison.

Of course, like anywhere, your salary depends on your experience level, your education level, the responsibilities of your role, and the industry you're working in. As a rough estimate, I would guess that the majority of German software developers fall in the €40k-€65k salary range. My impression is that developers making €75k+ are outliers.

You also have to remember that it's hard to directly compare a German salary to an American salary. Not only is the cost of living potentially different, but the exchange rate has been moving a lot lately. Last March, €65k was $90k. Today it is only $75k.
What on earth? Google imposes non disclosure on ex-employees to mention by name in-house monitoring systems? (Presumably Borg-monitor?)

That strikes me as a bit paranoid, not letting the name of a monitoring system be revealed. Am I missing something?

From my look at Riemann, it seems more aimed as an event monitoring system than a time-series monitoring system. You can (and many do) use Riemann as time-series monitoring system, my understanding is that Prometheus is a bit better for multi-dimensional labels.

I could see Riemann being used as an alert manager on top of Prometheus, handling all the logic around de-duping of alerts and notification. Prometheus's own alert manager is considered experimental.
AFAIK Einstein didn't write it actually as E=mc^2 but used square root instead.
Yes, ignoring that most people need a loop now and then, even pure NumPy-using code has a lot of potential.

Consider "a + b + c + d". For large arrays, the problem is that it creates many temporary results of same size as original arrays that must be streamed over the memory bus. And since FLOPs are free and your computation is limited by memory bandwidth, you pay a large penalty for using NumPy (that gets worse as expression gets more complex).

Or "a + a.T"... here you can get lots of speedup using basic tiling techniques, to fully use cache lines rather than read a cache line only to get one number and discard it.

And so on. For numeric computation, there are large gains (like 2-10x) from properly using the memory bus, that NumPy can't take advantage of. So you have projects like numexpr and Theano that mainly focus on speeding up non-loop NumPy-using code.
The X chromosome codes quite a few crucial proteins [0], such as certain clotting factors (that's why women rarely get haemophilia), or retinal proteins (that's why women see more colors, and rarely get daltonism). It is pretty impossible for a fetus to develop with a YY genotype.

If you were right, Amazon would be trading at a fraction of what Target, Walmart, Costco, etc. are. Their sales to valuation ratio would be far worse than those companies.

The exact opposite is the case. Shareholders are being extraordinarily patient with Amazon, and Amazon is being rewarded for their long-term thinking with an immense valuation.

There is a text posted on many Russian gun forums (e.g. http://forum.guns.ru/forum/44/122597.html ) that alleges Russian Ministry of Justice statistics of handgun usage against bears for self-defense. I cannot say if it is trustworthy but here are some numbers:
26 cases with Mararov pistol using 9x18 ammo. 19 at distance over 2m. Out of these: 10 people unharmed, 5 wounded, 4 dead. 10 bears killed. 7 at distance less than 2m. 3 unharmed, 2 wounded, 2 dead. 3 bears killed.

17 cases with 9x19 Parabelum ammo (that was before Russia adopted its own 9x19 so it's all imported guns), 10 at over 2m, out of these: 7 unharmed, 2 wounded, 1 dead, 7 bears killed. 7 cases at less than 2m: 3 unharmed, 2 wounded, 2 dead, 4 bears killed.

With these odds I'd rather shoot than let a bear maul me.
That analogy doesn't fit what I'm saying because an anesthesiologist is a highly skilled occupation and it takes years of specialised training to a gain the qualifications and skills necessary to work in that field.

Flipping it around and you get something closer, e.g. imagine instead a janitor made $360k a year and an anesthesiologist $25k. You'd find society would have a huge shortage of anesthesiologists because why would anyone go through all that training to get a job that pays a fraction of what you could earn cleaning toilets.

You'd also find people dropping out of college to become janitors.

Now ask yourself what happens in developing countries when unskilled factory workers get paid double what you could earn as a university graduate. What happens is that many people decide they would rather work in a factory than go to university.

I think it has a bit of an opening given the outrageous fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem. There are what... three different inits?

And in BSD the fragmentation is not only in inits, but the whole kernel and base system. We have FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFly BSD. Then there are sort-of-forks like Darwin and JunOS.

If we divide the number of active developers by the number of variants, I am pretty sure that Linux is doing much better.

There are good reasons for using BSD, but the lack of fragmentation is not one of them.

> The smart get smarter, the fast get faster, the strong get stronger, and the inferior disappear from the gene pool.

That stopped some time ago for humans, at least in industralized countries. Modern medicine, long periods of peace and (eventually) welfare provisions have taken care of that. This is a further step in that direction.

Evolution works over huge numbers, both in life and death; by effectively reducing the death-count around the globe, we're progressively abolishing it for humans.

> If anything, genetic modification will allow the less gifted to pool funds and improve their own gene pool in a way that was simply not possible before.

I fear that "pooling funds" could signal a mischaracterization of poor people as "less gifted", which is absolutely not the case. "The poor" are the ones who have historically improved our genepool, by constantly churning huge numbers of children who would then proceed to fight to death (often literally) for survival and success. "The rich" have always opted for in-breeding, low numbers and social welfare among their peers, resulting in weak genes and lots of hereditary diseases surviving the centuries. In this sense, "the poor" have absolutely nothing to gain from genetic manipulation: children are their only resource and they will continue to produce as many as they can, resulting in a stronger and more variegated gene pool without having to add anything to the process.

The GATTACA scenario is real in the sense that a certain mindset is common around modern elites, a view that the rich must be somehow superior to the poor (smarter, healthier, harder-working, etc) otherwise they wouldn't be where they are. Policies like Tony Blair's suggestion that "fat people should pay more for healthcare" are appallingly neo-darwinistic, but they've also been mostly rejected out of a sense of human decency. I expect this will continue to be the case; as a lot of modern history reminds us, it takes very little to send entire populations back to the Middle Ages, and genetic discrimination would light a very powerful fuse.
It's not, really, it's the other way around. The "mother's" nucleus is transplanted into the donor's nucleus-less egg (which has all the mitochondria). The appropriate analogy would be transplanting one person's brain into another person's body.

We've been looking for something like this, unfortunately the "pull" model won't work for us. We really need a push model so that our statistics server doesn't need access to every single producer. I see the pushgateway, but it seems deliberately not a centralized storage.

I wonder what InfluxDB means by "distributed", that is, if I could use it to implement a push (where distributed agents push to a centralized metric server) model.
Touting these unemployment numbers as a "big lie" is equally misleading. Especially when comparing this number to a past situation of which we don't know the disappointing details.

Just saying "only 44% of adults have a good job" doesn't sound like a good number either. This doesn't seem to count mothers, "house wifes" (if they choose that occupation voluntarily and gladly), college students and probably not even grad students.
"I mean, that's what evolution is. The smart get smarter, the fast get faster, the strong get stronger, and the inferior disappear from the gene pool."

I was quite delighted to hear that this new model will apparently improve their ability to provide up-to-date package builds and ports.

The main reason I switched over from Linux to BSD was being tired of dealing with deciding between a bleeding-edge roll-your-own distro that breaks all the time, or a decrepit one loaded down with packages that've been out of date for 4 or 5 years.
>Microsoft have already announced that Visual Studio community edition is free, which also means less revenue from VS.NET licenses as well.

Is it though? I would believe that the people using the community edition are the same people that were previously using the express edition, i.e. hobbyists and students who were not going to pay for it anyhow. And as you already described in your last paragraphs: if their plan works out, I would imagine visual studio license revenues to go up in the long term as more people are attracted to the eco-system.

GATTACA Argument
Darwinism

We have to keep in mind that, e.g. in Japan the fertility rate is 1.4/woman.

The rich people make less children than poor.

Beside, in rich countries fertility rate is dropping, especially in big cities.

Therefore, one way of seen this could be just as palliative.
Economic and environmental collapse is the frequent Tragedy of the Commons consequence of unregulated human activity (markets)... Cannery Row, Easter Island, Silphium, Raphus cucullatus, extinction of N. American megafauna.

We are probably missing out on a lot of progress because of the way information propagates. The solutions to many problems are probably out there, split up, hidden across dozens of papers in different topics.

An AI capable of aggregating lots of information, making sense of and drawing conclusions of them could probably iterate on things way faster than the human collective could, because many of the factors that cost us time, outside of just raw processing power, are nonexistent.
(One of the Prometheus authors here)

My understanding is that InfluxDB will work for your use case, as it's all push.

> I see the pushgateway, but it seems deliberately not a centralized storage.

Yeah, the primary use case for the pushgateway is service-level metrics for batch jobs.

May I ask why accessing your producers is a problem? I know for Storm I was considering writing a plugin that'd hook into it's metrics system, that'd push to the pushgateway and Prometheus would then scrape. Not my preferred way of doing things, but some distributed processing systems need that approach when work assigment is dynamic and opaque across slaves.

That's some interesting points you are making. Just one question:

> The basic structure of the page should be simple div based layout enhanced with CSS. Any data that must be rendered in JS ( such as dynamic tables ) can be done by outputting the data in JSON format into the page, and then calling the JS to construct the table. This is faster than adding a calling to a JSON resource to get the data for the table. It allows data and page structure to be sent to the frontend all at once.

In html/css are you able to position an element on the page exactly where you want? I am doing at the moment some web development for maths exercises, and I couldn't manage to get the positioning right with pure html/css, so I had to resort to:

$("#my_element").offset({"left":x,"top":y});

The positioning I want is something non trivial because the elements are positioned with respect to each other.

I am just nitpicking here, on overall I think your comment is very informative.

I have to admit, haven't read all comments... but:

FBP, is nothing new ... In the enterprise world ( the world that I`m working in ) it is used quite frequently, and there are some products that live of this for example ( windows workflow foundation, workflowgen ) for the c# world.

FBP is a way of doing things, let's say it is a pattern, like MVC ( less than more, but bare with me ) they each serve a specific task. To be a tad more clear, let's say that MVC is more of a generic on size fits all approach while the FBP is more of a custom tailored way of doing things for (highly) specific things. So, MVC would be great for a wiki and FBP would be great for the whole wiki item management from treating the adding, verifing, drafts, plublish etc etc. ( I`m sure there are a lot of better examples out there ...)

The benefit of NoFlo is that they actually made something that is usually regarded as "enterprise-ish crap" and made it appealing. And again they did a great job with the visual editor, but from my own experience with visual flow design ... sooner that later you will be back to the code ( we you need to stray a bit from the Happy Path ).

Also, I think that frameworks like NoFlow are a very good step for Node in general showing that a lot more interesting things could be done apart for the tasteless and colorless REST apis.

It has a fuzzy file finder present, that makes it easier to look for files inside the working directory. Also, "goto" worked for me, and hence i use that. i have a wide variety of .deb packages installed and they were contradicting the "g" tag. If you like something else, just modify your .bashrc alias or open install.sh and modify the alias value being written there. That is a minute difference.

Also, another difference between bashmark and this is that it uses all functionalities as an extension to goto. ie. to save you write" goto -s <shortcut> " instead of "s <shortcut>" this is again done to simplify the .bashrc and remove g/s/l/p functions from being created. Gives me greater control.
