Actually the just as interesting questions to ask is what % of senior and C level positions at large companies are filled by blacks? What % of senior government ministers and elected officials are black? What % of senior lecturers and researchers and universities and black? What % of the wealthiest top n% are black?

No matter how bad these numbers may seem in an absolute sense in the US, I strongly suspect they'll stomp all over equivalent numbers in Europe.

Someone's time in the sun has expired and now he's trying to milk his fame some more. I imagine his long term plan is to rebrand himself Mitnick-style into a "hacker for the people." What's Mitnick doing nowadays? Oh right, selling exploits to the highest bidder.
This seems to get back to the other debate that crops up with "simplest." Just because I posit that it is one of the simplest languages, does not mean I imply it is by definition simple.
"The problem is not time or price, it's quality."

When you make that assessment, you have to remember that you probably live in a bubble. You're probably in tech, and you probably make over 100k a year, or are pretty close. To you, a few extra dollars doesn't matter, so you want better quality. Since you're probably salaried, a few extra minutes doesn't matter either. Every time I go to a Chipotle on lunch, its easily 80-90 office workers.

I think the problem is the economy is splitting really aggressively. The middle ground doesn't exist any more. Either you're relatively well off, or you're sharing shitty hours with a group of other minimum wage workers, and the idea of spending a few more dollars for lunch isn't an easy option.

So to me the problem is, the only way to grow is to target the more wealthy individuals. Except they never have, so they don't have the mindset to do it, and their established brand is also working against them.
It's fascinating how much this engineers experience shares with mine. We both appear to have similar approaches to working with technical systems, that has led to skillsets that are more broad than deep. We've both had interview problems because of this, and we've both ended up in DevOps.

I've also had more or less the exact same experience with DevOps, though with (hopefully) a happier ending. I was on a team working for a client that desperately needed "DevOps-type" things. So I built them, and their infrastructure team ignored them.

Eventually we stopped working with that client, and I was moved to a different organization, where each development team was doing it's own thing, operations-wise, and had no interest in adopting a uniform approach, so my (short) efforts there were also for naught.

But then I had the opportunity to come back to the first client, as their DevOps Manager. Before I took the job, I talked to their current development organization about what their pain points were, and what actions they would be willing to take to alleviate them, and I built a strategy around that. A key part of this strategy was gradually eliminating the need for a DevOps team, as I firmly believe the best application of "DevOps" is as a joint project between Development and Operations to optimize shared processes. Once the friction is minimal, you don't need a team there anymore. So we have a developer embedded in our meetings, and have more or less full control of any infrastructure.

As a "DevOps Engineer" (use to be called Sys Admin) I feel a lot of posters here are using the term wrong.

A lot of us old sys admins are now calling ourselves devops because times are changing. To me devops isn't about taking a developer who likes ops to save some money. Its about taking ops out of their walled garden and into the development process. As someone in ops, I'd much rather be part of the development process as I'm the one supporting the code in production.

If its a choice of message queues.. I'd rather have a vote to the one I know about supporting.

It isn't really about cost savings as some companies I've been in I'm one of the highest paid engineers on the team. Its more about bringing ops into the process.

> If people hadn't formed an emotional attachment maybe they would have been more willing to buy a new one every couple of years and maintain its viability.

That actually made me think of a different point of view on the topic. When you're building a "pet" that you know people will get attached emotionally to, you are playing god. And when you make it so that it just breaks after few years, then you basically suck at being god. You are responsible for the feelings of loss and suffering people will experience because the design wasn't good enough (and if you go the planned obsolescence way, you're an evil god).

You are correct. However, it is stated that 'KAYAK' appears only once and it seems to me that CTRL+Fing should be the first thing to do when searching for a string in a relatively small text. The next step, had the CTRL+F failed, would have been to search for "KAYAK" vertically/diagonally programmatically.

One example that just occurred to me: The base 2 log of the number of legal positions of a 9x9 go game is about 126.3, which means if I use a good hash of board positions yielding twice that number of bits, I have a better than 50/50 chance of having no collisions. That is very good to know if you've got anything like a transposition table in a Go playing program.

I think it's a bit like why Gucci handbags are still so expensive. Because they are high end; there are people who are willing to spend that much, even if what I would call an engineer's assessment "do I get a reasonable bang for buck ratio" clearly answers NO. People by an experience, they buy a feeling. And it may be money well spent for them.

I think there is a fundamental disconnect between what DevOps is and the classical business organization structure.

DevOps is not a department and it will not work if it is a department DevOps is a way of doing things to achieve maximum efficiency and everyone on development and operations must embrace it for it to work.

If either development or operations resist the change then either the resisting members should be eliminated or the switch over to the DevOps way aborted.

DevOps doesn't work without cooperation and effort from all team members.

Microsoft: Girls Do Science
While I learned about the modulus operator at a young age, I grew up programming in environments where "nobody" used floats because the CPU's in question didn't have FPUs, and floating point operations resulted in costly library calls.

While only "older" (I'm 39) developers will be likely to have been in that situation, it took another decade after I moved onto hardware with FPU's before I worked on anything where we actually used floating point math.

Instead we'd be working with fixed point stored in integer. E.g. for financial systems, floating point is a nightmare. Working with fixed point to whatever number of decimal points our accounting department wanted (5-6 typically) for tax calculations and the like was preferred.

So there are large number of areas where people can have worked successfully for many years without ever using floating point.

So many misconceptions here as to what DevOps is. I think mugsie comes closest with his use of the term "empathy". This is very very close, but I would add one more term "cooperation".

DevOps, when implemented correctly can have enormous, order of magnitude increases in both productivity and quality, but it is not voodoo, despite this almost unbelievable claim. It involves empathy and cooperation and it requires this because in order to implement DevOps in a meaningful way, an organization has to vastly increase communication between "silos". It has to formalize, document and automate as many processes as possible.

DevOps is NOT easy to implement and involves a cultural shift and absolute management buy-in. It is best implemented in small projects, where clear wins can be demonstrated. Use this success to bootstrap the process to bigger projects.

I do agree with the OP that if you have a DevOps team, you are probably not doing DevOps. The whole point of DevOps is to get rid of silo mentality. No more us and them, but all us.

Implemented correctly, everyone is DevOps.

Having been around since the inception of this space, when things were much more tools focused, to now, when it's a lot more about "culture" (all good), I feel 95% of DevOps talks are people discussing what DevOps is. As such, it's now a metasyntactical label for a lot of things that can by good in various scenarios. I agree it is time to retire the label and instead talk about those specific things -- automation, culture, continuous improvement, etc, in nearly all instances.

Don't know if the concept of DevOps is bs but I know that it's unfortunate if a developer never did system administration: there are many of this "git push heroku" kind of devs who pee in their pants if they have to deal with bare metal and the production servers. It's not that they wouldn't be able too handle them, it's that they are afraid because they never did and besides, good system administration knowledge leads always to better application and system design.
True, thanks for the feedback. I need to tweak the search.
why not simply use flexbox?
Unfortunately the term DevOps has been diluted in the job market. Now most DevOps job postings are actually just plain ol' sys op roles, where "development" means writing tools for the actual developers. If you want to spend at least 50% of your time writing code then avoid any job postings that mention "ops".
In addition to that, I always thought DevOps meant operations people using development practices and tools to automate and simplify their lives? Does it have to be more complex than that?

General sorting is exactly the type of thing I never use recursion for. Merge sort is O(n log n), sorting 100M records with a recursive implementation of it can blow the call stack in no time, depending on how you used recursion.
Mitnick's sentence was ~5 years. Under the sentencing guidelines, Ulbricht will almost undoubtedly spend most if not all of the rest of his life in federal prison. He isn't trying to "milk his fame some more" - he is simply fighting for his life.

> If you want high-performance web services with much more powerful backing technologies (EJB, JPA, JMS...) without locking into a particular haphazard collection of libraries, just write and deploy a JAX-RS module into your free, lightweight app server of choice (Wildfly, Glassfish, etc).

The cost of having a choice is having to make a choice. Look at the number of concepts someone coming to the ecosystem totally fresh has to learn here. Not only that, look at the number of choices they have to make without understanding the trade-offs they might be making, or even whether they'll ever have to care. All these things you mention are added cognitive load which, for a large number of applications, will end up being totally irrelevant.

Dropwizard looks to me like a solid 80/20 solution. Think of all the apps out there which get deployed to tomcat, are the only thing which will ever be deployed to that tomcat instance, and just never have to grow past a single machine, or even a single developer. What value is tomcat (or glassfish, or whatever) actually adding in that situation? I'd argue that it's pure overhead. An in-process HTTP server running under a classic UNIX process supervisor like runit or daemontools would do just as well. Maybe there are babies being thrown out with the bathwater here, but the way forward isn't to highlight all the extra work a developer has to do to find them.
