So this is the thing. There are three things that really go against a true "devop" system:

1) cost.

Ops are cheaper than devops, sometimes twice as much. Yes yes, flexibility. But thats a misnomer. If your dev teams are doing donkey sysadmin work, because they don't have the experience, or are up all hours fixing things, you're going to endup with a high staff turn over.

2) division of labour

As a company grows, they can employ more and more specialist staff. This gives them a competative edge as they are able to make nuanced decisions based on skill, or experience. A decent storage admin will be able to build a storage system that will scale relaibly, cheaply and with less downtime than someone who is not a specialist.

3) burn out.

A human is not designed to multitask 14 hours a day. Coding, testing, supporting, infrastructure procuring, for anything other than the smallest company is too much for a single role.

There are great things that come from a devop "culture"; greater personal autonomy. However like all things, its not one size fits all. There is a great deal of arrogance where people assume that a sysadmin never automate anything. or that they can't program.

They can and do, you know why? because they want to carry on searching ebay, scamming $someone boasting about network speed, or just plain getting shitfaced.
Tesla needs time to establish its reputation. With only one car, one that is expensive regardless of taxation, that is not going to be an easy task. This may be doubly so in China.

Outside of China...

They really need lower priced cars if they are in it for the long haul. At their current price point they are merely skimming the low hanging fruit of the wealthy, people who can afford a second car that has limitations.

They are simply not moving fast enough into the price point of where the majority of cars sell and as such are ceding that market to the established players who once they focus their attention will pretty much lock it up because of better brand awareness. Both Ford and Chevy will have cars in the lower range with sufficient range by the 2017 model year.
They should act limping so the owner knows they need to replace a leg, a tail, an ear... so after a few years the whole body is renewed and the viability of the species maintained.
It seems that the main problem here was not DevOps but rather the culture in which he was asked to do his work. Creating a devops team whether "by fiat or by force" doesn't sound like a recipe for a good experience.

My experience is different: DevOps saves me many headaches by letting me easily deploy things for small clients. A larger company I work with uses Chef to manage their 40+ servers; the IT department doesn't touch these servers. Rather, 3 or 4 developers share in the work of writing cookbooks, adding instrumentation, deploying code and maintaining the servers. It would be handy to have a full-time guy as well (OP mentioned the amount of work needed to keep up with just your basic security patches) but we -- as developers -- love the access we have to our entire stack.

Worry about -Xms rather than -Xmx for startup times.

I suspect there are ways to make it faster (e.g. there's a nashorn runner that starts up appreciably faster than "proper" java), but the main use case for java is server-side programs that run for days or weeks between restarts, so it's optimized for that use case.

I think people want to identify with the media they consume and games are different from more passive forms because of player agency. However, if the avatar in the game is supposed to be "you", but it doesn't even begin to look like you, then you don't identify as much.

I, for one, relish a game that doesn't make me play as Johnny Brownhair-Whiteguy, but I have the benefit of being a white male with brown hair. I have the benefit of being catered to by most video games. If I could less often play as someone that looked like me, I think I'd start to feel excluded.

It seems like a mere attempt to adapt labor-division best practices from assembly plant industry. More managers, bigger budgets, easy staff rotation - that kind of crap. Also a fresh new meme to ride on. Nothing special.
Page and Brin produced publicly available research with NSF money. They started a company based on that public research. That company created untold billions of dollars of value out of thin air. Taxes are paid out of those new dollars, some of which go to fund the NSF.

You left out the part where Stanford patented the results of the research, thereby monopolizing it.

Likewise, Google did not create untold billions "out of thin air." Google created untold billions by leveraging NSF-funded research, and the patent which Stanford licensed to them, in the midst of an explosion of new opportunities which was created when the NSF lifted commercial restrictions on the use of the Internet (which had also been built with public funding).

I know Americans like to imagine that even acknowledging the public sector exists is the same thing as surrendering to the USSR, but the USSR doesn't even exist any more, and there's actually a lot of merit in being aware of history and being honest about how economies work.

Just like putting a man on the moon, the Internet was a massive public research project which succeeded wildly. As OP says, America likes to tell a "hands off the market" story about how its government relates to its industries, but that story doesn't match the reality.

Personally I find my iPad, which lasts about a week, is the divide that is most often dead when needed. However, I think the issue there is that it's not constantly in my field of vision, being in my bag. My iPhone and, I assume, an iWatch, would be constantly reminding me of its battery level.

We've done some analysis as well, it will be interesting to compare notes - let's connect. Best bots have real-sounding names, a photo, a bio - and they randomly inject human comments. Found huge networks built almost entirely on IFTTT, they don't Retweet master accounts (that would only facilitate detection), they fetch the text and re-post it as their own original message.

One area we looked into recently, was Russia's propaganda machine (after discovering strange patterns following the recent murder of Nemtsov). A typical spam account looks like the link below. Unlike the accounts in your screenshots, these accounts sometimes post thousands of messages a day. The one below has posted 190,000 times so far, in Russian:

(The only thing I would note is that this article blankets all HFCS as 55/45 fructose/glucose, when there's actually three main HFCS formulas in use - HFCS55, which is what is used in soft drinks, HFCS42, which is 42% fructose 53% glucose, used commonly in food products, HFCS90, which is 90% fructose 10% glucose, and used only in specialty applications or blended with HFCS42 to make HFCS55 - HFCS42 is potentially better for you than 'regular' sugar due to the lower fructose amount)
How will you create the prototype during the YC period that proves you are ready for the next step? You don't need to answer here or answer to get in YC -- you need to answer that to actually make progress, though.

Let's say the answer is you get a tech co-founder.

Great -- now, what part do you do that's so important? Again, this isn't for you to answer here -- this is what a good tech co-founder will want to know. The answer is NOT: "I have the ideas". It's more like getting the first 10 customers and knowing how to get the next 100 or 1000 after that.

If it's really true that you can get the first 1000 customers, why are you wasting time learning to code? A little is fine, but if the idea depends on software, you're going to be too slow, and revenue will solve a lot of coding problems.

Thanks. I try. I think a lot of women are afraid of being taken as 'emotional' or 'overreacting' in the workplace so we start practicing young.
This is kind of cool! At one point a while ago, I really wanted to move out of the US to Europe or anywhere for a year or two. It seemed like an exciting idea.

Can anyone verify if Pixie has concurrent multithreading or is it limited to greenthreads as described in the article? Based on the fact that atoms are implemented and they would not be necessary in a single threaded environment, I would guess that support for concurrent multithreading would be at least in the works, if not already possible.

This is the problem. GP mentioned London: I live in London. I see a lot of art in London. (I lived in Hackney Wick for a while, which at the time was basically a pile of art studios plonked into rotting industrial estates. There were some, er, very interesting people around.) None of it is particularly path-breaking.

But that's not an issue. Because any fule kno that all cultural production is highly derivative, and innovative only at the margins. GP gripes elsewhere about people ignoring the last 100 years of western art music, but seems to miss the fact that there is no Schoenberg without Brahms, Wagner and Mahler, no Reich without the Early Music revival; and, equally, the fact that not all productions of a given opera are alike. Innovation is possible, and happens, within the standard repertoire; that's one of the happy side effects of playing the same things over and over again.

I have no idea how forward-thinking the opera house(s) of Ohio are, admittedly.

I'm working on finding something better than the arrow navigation. I thought it was a good idea at first, but then realized it's annoying when using the textarea boxes to type paragraphs because you're unable to switch between letters. I'll definitely be disabling it now until I find something better!

As for the URL in the finished product, that's there by default since I'm relying on Chrome's "Print Page" function, and I have no control over those settings. I need to find a way to tell the user that they can click "More Settings" then uncheck "Show Headers & footers" to remove that. It's just hard to display since I can't show anything over that dialog.

Again, Thanks for the feedback though!
Is there any reason to believe that any of this matters to McDonald's?

Like, how do their head to head locations compare on revenue and profitability? If In and Out isn't consistently beating McDonald's on measures like that, all you've done is explain that you find In and Out more appealing.
Thanks! I like the minimalistic style. I will definitely use this for a small test project soon.

What I like less however, but it is a vice that bootstrap shares is that the grid system is a html driven one. As in: I have to define the classes on my html elements. I like http://neat.bourbon.io/ for example in that it uses extends in sass to apply grid styles to elements from within the css. So my html isn't riddled with layouting.

How well do your grid classes lend themselves to applying through css?

> DevOps is about dev and ops teams communicating and having empathy for the requirements of the other team.

Most posters here don't seem to get it. Most replies appear to be the idea that DevOps means you fire your Ops people and the Developers do Ops previous job and their own Development job as well.
I rarely read this. At which point do we shift the focus to the medium and not the message ? And even worse, when we optimize production toward the medium (3D 60fps movies).

The reality is, the confluence of factors such as availability of VC capital, proximity of Stanford and weather make Bay Area the best place to be if you are a founder or a very early employee of a startup and you hold a significant stake. If the weather is a big factor for you, then Chicago will never beat Bay Area. But if you are not one of the above, and you don't care about the weather, Chicago beats Bay Area hands down on quality of life, in my opinion
Epic Systems (digital healthcare records) employs 5,000 people just outside Madison, WI. Soon to be 10,000 according to their roadmap. I wouldn't be surprised if other corporations looking to hire gobs of college grads start popping up (or already have popped up) near other small midwest cities.
With difficulty.
For example - you can still have an Ops team, and they have the required access.
The developers access to production is done on a case by case basis, with some sort of tracking of who logged in. and why.
Also, doing full pre - merge code review helps, as it is yet another set of eyes on the code that will be pushed to production...

In short - its not a "one solution fits all", and it is something that needs to be discussed with you SOX auditors, to find a working solution for your company
Yeah I don't generally talk about this because it brings conversations to a screaming halt, and you have to spend all your time comforting whoever you just told.

You're still basically using many of the libraries you're mentioning - but personally I shun (most of the) JEE in preference of lighter weight approaches. If you need more of the heavy weight libraries / environments, it's (usually) not a big deal to migrate.

I don't agree with some of the choices of DropWizard, and it's not something I'd use on my own projects - but as an opinionated "here's a way to get started efficiently" approach, I think it's not bad. For some developers, getting a decent base to start on is quite a daunting experience.

Then again, if someone starts saying "must have X years experience with DropWizard" I think I'll probably snap.
Well, as they currently exist, they can only create things entirely made from plastic, so I don't think they'd be too helpful.
Yup - it does. I just seem to prefer the empathy quote for some reason :)

Best quote in the piece:

Because innovation today builds on innovation tomorrow... Policy makers must think very hard how to make value creation activities (done by all the collective actors in the innovation game) rewarded above value extraction activities (in this sense capital gains taxes are way too low).

Peter Thiel's book talks about this, and on the one hand it is of course very good strategy, yet it's also quite sad and pathetic, because the principle he advocates is that you should focus on capturing a market, rather than creating value.

OP is saying, if this is a logical choice for entrepreneurs to make, then policy makers have done a very bad job at structuring incentives. It would make more sense if policy set up incentives which encouraged creating value over capturing it.

As a (Southern) Californian who moved to Chicago many years ago, I feel the same away about missing the mountains. (For trail running, not biking, though). If I ever move back to CA, it'll be to Marin County so I can be near all those amazing running trails. The high cost of living there keeps me away, though.
Great choice of license. Good luck with your project. Looks nice!
To me DevOps is a cost cutting measure whereby an organization can save a few hundred thousand dollars by having one individual not only do the development but also handle the deployment and the testing.

In theory that will eliminate the need for an additional tester and a second individual to do the change control.

But those short term gains expose the organization to the massive risks that the one and only one individual will make a mistake, with no second individual available to do a double check.

The reality is people make mistakes and by eliminating people from that double checking process may well save money in the short term, but in the long run it greatly adds to the of risk failure.

While there are short term gains, the risks to the organization can be massive:

I can't imagine this being a positive attribute (and yes, I've been in the hiring position before). It paints the applicant in quite a negative light.
I ended up trying Paw when I ran in to some issues with Chrome mucking with my headers (forget the details now, but my whole team was running in to this issue a year or so ago), and haven't looked back. Paw's developer has been incredibly great at responding to emails when I had questions or needed support, and is adding great features like a plugin system. My absolute favorite feature, other than saving requests, is the ability to generate code in multiple languages, but most relevant at the time for me was AFNetworking-specific calls. It's not perfect, but saved me a lot of time when modeling new services.
It's gone :/
Interesting stuff, nice work!

The complex pattern is a result of the network doing the equivalent of fitting 3 gaussians (1 for each of RGB color channel) on the intensity of the pixel in that channel. I was curious, so I recorded a tiny demo of doing the equivalent piecewise in photoshop:
http://cl.ly/183Z3w1V1B0F

Posterization in photoshop is a k-means technique, and each k-mean is a center of a gaussian, hence my motivation for the analogue video.

The triangles in the thresholded image make me think that the network is doing the equivalent of predicting a probability that a certain pixel is white/black per channel, and then these channels collude for the final decision, and thus we see triangles when the intersections of the 3 triangly spaced gaussians yield a value above some threshold.

Pic of the different channels:

This is a really good article and I am glad it was submitted here for our discussion. The author makes a good point that professors and institutions of higher education that receive public subsidies (which is essentially all of them, in the United States and most other countries) need to be able to make a case that they are providing general public benefits through their activities to keep the subsidies flowing in a democratic political system. The author is helpful to emphasize mentoring and developing the next generation as part of a professor's core job.

I like the side-note.

> As a side note, expressing configurations in Clojure S-expressions makes a ton of sense. Clojure S-expressions provide a superset of JSON and Clojure's eval allows you to define a function to compute certain values. It's an escape hatch so that you're configuration files don't need to become accidentally Turing complete. The Turing complete nature of your configuration files is well defined as Clojure.

I had posted a while back wondering why more formats do not just derive from sexp or SXML (yes, say that out loud in the office). As I think some Lispers (I am even below beginner) cannot help but notice that if sexpr are coincidentally (I am sure it can be done without, but still, I am not sure if McCarthy and company just started with sexp or choose it specifically and held their ground beyond it was their choice) core to the lisp's homoiconic power-features, why more people do not just want sexp as the core data definiton, keep the data and program as close as possible, and just macro the data back, tossing back and forth between code and data as the division is limited.

Anyway, I like that far more intelligent people than me not only like this idea, but are encouraging it and pushing it forward.

(Yes, flame away. I know some people love Lisp and hate, I just thought it is an interesting premise; I am ready for you to throw shoes at me, HN.)

And forcing OSGi induced brain damage on someone is just cruel. After years working with that, there's absolutely NO way I'm ever doing that again.

The number of projects that don't work (mainly classloader issues) and/or had to be customized to work on it is enough of a barrier for me to never use it again. And the benefits it conferred were so minimal that the cost/benefit ratio was astronomical and completely unjustifiable. (Maybe things are different on massive teams though)
