I do not eat fruit when I am on a diet to lose weight. Just clean diet (meats, eggs, nuts, lots of vegetables, few types of oils and butters, mostly no dairy, no fruits (maybe a little of berries), no junks...) and exercise. Fructose is metabolised different than glucose and is bad to eat when trying to lose weight, you would not die of course or something like that, it would just slow the process. But otherwise when losing weight is not a primary goal I eat fruits, but max 1 fruit per day or equivalent of berries or other smaller fruits.
I really have problems with articles written 70+ years later about WWII making assumptions and conclusions about what one nation "had to" or "didn't have to do" to protect it's people and win the war.

Viewed through our modern lenses of morality, with almost a century of data to inform on these opinions, it seems unfair to claim "racism" when likely the real story is more muddied, and more influenced by other factors.

I think salary is a very important factor on choosing the employer. They need to be more open about it. In near future we may see that salary is a public information (not as much right now)
That's a good question. We are currently considering salary only but in near future we will add job position too. For example, a candidate can say: "Contact me only if some company is willing to consider me for VP of Eng.".
One way I think males can better relate is to consider bullying. There'd be no bullying in school if every single time it happened a child went to the authorities, was taken seriously, the perpetrator was punished and there was no backlash on the victim. Yet we know that many kids put up with a fair degree of bullying because going to the Principal completely changes the game. They fear overt or subtle retribution and social ostracizing. They become defined by everybody at school as the dude who was a victim _and_ went to the authorities and got other people in trouble. So it's no wonder that many incidents of bullying (and sexual harassment) are not reported. Only when the stigma goes away will it happen.
You may be thinking of logical insanity, which I also recommend.

I had several reasons for leaving my last company, but this was one of them. We had no QA, no IT, no ops. We just had devs doing everything. It might not even have been that bad if we were fairly compensated, but we were all making 3/4 market value in terms of pure salary, no insurance, and no equity to make up for it.

We were understaffed, underfunded, and underpaid.
Dropwizard is basically Jersey (JAX-RS) running on top of Jetty (Servlets), with an integrated monitoring library (Metrics), which is not standardized (but neither is any other). So Dropwizard is very much in line with the standards-based approach.
Developers only? Or are you just starting out with this role and plan to expand to others later?

Do employers sign up as "recruiters"? I would think not since the word "recruiter" has a very specific meaning.

This service helps employers save significant time on promising candidates that have wage expectations beyond an employer's budget. Worst case, employers can adjust both initial salary bands and corresponding expectations accordingly through the use of this service.
It also might make sense that the NSA is a corrupt juggernaut and expecting them to do your heavy lifting isn't appropriate, especially when its clear that Clapper runs a security theater-like organization.

The CIA and other agencies having its own smaller team probably means better outcomes. This kind of thing probably works best with smaller and more nimble teams than big data gathering focused organizations like the NSA.

From a budget perspective, this is good cause to cut from the NSA and give to the CIA.
hidden service connections are end-to-end encrypted. Also, there is no exit node in a hidden service circuit. I think it makes more sense that they're in fact referring to a guard node, like another comment has pointed out.

> You say it as if it was easy. Like they had it handed to them. Clearly a lot of tumblers fell into place, but that doesn't mean the NSF is due a share of the profits. Would you claim Harvard is due a share of Microsoft if it gave Bill Gates a scholarship?

A private educational institute giving a student a scholarship is very much not the same thing as a public institution granting monies for research. That isn't to say the NSF ought to receive a share of profits, necessarily, but your comparison isn't reasonable.

Moreover, it underlines the point: that the risk of research was socialized (NSF Grant), but the profits were privatized (Google). I think the debate is whether or not that's a good thing. Personally I think it depends on the context but generally I don't think that public grants should result in private profits (at least not exclusively), and it should be especially closely scrutinized if any of the resulting research work is not 100% made available as public knowledge.

He's mocking the "rah rah free market! American Capitalism is awesome!" mentality that he perceives "Americans" (clearly a generalization; I doubt he thinks all, and hopefully not even most, Americans actually subscribe to that view) to have.

I can't say I disagree with his point. It's especially prevalent in the software industry, where all the programmers are Jon Galt (apologies to Garrison Keillor). It's an especially amusing thing to see given just how much the software industry is and has been, since its inception, reliant on government for its existence.

That Sony CD player may have been quiet, but that was its only grace. When I first heard it I wondered why they had selected such a harsh system for the demo.

My buddy with the Neo Geo is starting to get me hooked on retro gaming a little more seriously. He's got a couple hundred NES games, and he's even been picking up the more obscure/less popular systems like a Turbografix 16 and an Atari Jaguar. It was actually pretty cool to hold the Turbografix controller in my hand because I've only ever seen pictures of it in Gamepro or EGM back in the day. He's even got a modded top-loading NES with an RGB connection, and he plays it on a 27" CRT. He's pretty serious.

Meanwhile, I'm here thinking about getting a Raspberry Pi for on-the-go emulation.
I'm devops and in my opinion the title infers this; my job is to keep the communication between developers and the operations teams in sync and copacetic. Usually, Ops doesn't know dev and dev doesn't know ops so if there's nobody to translate and explain things in each others technical language things can't be done quickly and reliably. The wrong environments will be configured, things won't have backups, it will be like the wild west and things will be stressful for both sides.

My job, just like it was when I was a sysadmin, is to keep things running smoothly. To optimize both sides of the coin and to take things off their plate that I myself can deal with that might be a blocker to them finishing tasks and to us getting features out or server migrations done.

Some devs know ops and some ops know dev, those guys, more often than not I just check in with and see that things are running smoothly. For the other folk I try to create systems and workflows that get blockers out of their way.

I try to be a useful and reliable tool to both sides as much as I can be.

Hopefully the way I've been doing this for the last two years since I moved into a more Devops related role has been helpful to everyone.
My experience has been people rarely want to pay appropriately when they're demanding you do several roles.

An interesting "kill two birds with one stone" idea is to merge medical records and care with the educational system.

So asking for someone's diplomas or GPA as a hiring criteria would be as socially unacceptable as asking a gay application for HIV status, a female applicant for her "measurements", or demanding genetic test results from anyone when hiring. A completely portfolio and experience oriented hiring procedure would look similar to how contractors get "hired"/contracted. "Sorry by HIPPA regulations I can't tell you my diploma or even what school I attended, but I wrote this really nice fizzbuzz just for you..."

The two birds with one stone idea is much as you wouldn't ban kids from grade school for the crime of not being born to wealthy parents, if the medical and industrial complexes merged, then presumably there would exist free health care for everyone, which would be a net societal good.
From one of the comments:

> It’s easier to train a developer to do sane operating procedures than to teach a sysadmin the developer mindset (testing, revision control, breaking down to logical units and similar).

Having done both jobs, I don't really think that's true, unless by 'sysadmin' one means the type of low-skill position which resets passwords. A system administrator is responsible for administering a system of hosts and software; his should be a more complex job than a developers. He should be responsible for test systems as well as for production systems; his scripts should live in source control. I'll grant that functional decomposition may not be as vitally important to his work as it is to a normal developers—but then, his scripts will inevitably grow to be pretty complex, so maybe it will be after all.

That doesn't mean that developers are stupid either. Sure, at BigEnterpriseCorp a developer is just a seat-warmer who implements directives like 'add a method to the Foo class which takes two arguments, adds them and returns the result,' but a real developer is a student (whether formally taught or informally self-taught) of computer science; he understands and can choose & implement both algorithms & data structures in order to solve a problem.

A good DevOps hire is going to have some skill in both areas, not as a weak sysadmin and a weak dev, but as a strong sysadmin and a strong dev. A good DevOps team is going to be more skilled (and expensive) than the equivalent dev and ops teams, but it will also be more productive and less error-prone.

If you're trying to build a devops team from Initech, Initron and Initrol low-skill employees, you're probably going to fail. If you're building a devops team to reduce costs, you're probably going to fail. But if you're building a devops team to increase profitability and competitiveness, you may succeed.

I'm sorry, but that is at best an incredibly simplistic view. Russia got a lot of military supplies from the west, and Germany spent a huge portion of its air capacity on britan. If the allies hadn't taken north Africa and the mideast back, Germany would not have run out of oil either.

What I've been able to gather over the years (and in this thread) and pretty much what I've incorporated into my diet is the following:

- Avoid processed foods
- Avoid added sugars
- Limit fruit intake (especially those high in fructose) and especially avoid fruit juices
- Avoid simple carbs (e.g., bread, tortillas, flour) and look to lower carb intake in general (~300g daily limit seems excessive)
- Eat more meals composed of higher fat/protein and a vegetable (e.g., protein and a vegetable)
- Fats aren't as bad as people believe

When it's all said and done, I think you're right though. The fact of the matter is we all love carbs and sugar way too much. We need to eat more plants.
I think the assumption that intelligence is tied to consciousness, at least for tasks expected of robots, is pretty questionable.

Is your smartphone a small sweatshop?
Well, no. DevOps is (or should be) as the OP describes it. Just because you disagree with the concept doesn't make the definition wrong.
A senior systems administrator can and does write programs for automation, monitoring, configuration management, and all the little things that are not customer-facing applications.

I used to be able to use "senior systems administrator" as a short-hand for those skill sets, but about 2010 that stopped working.

Now I need to use "DevOps" as an imperfect substitute in the title; otherwise only junior people apply, even though the rest of the ad goes into the same depth about skills and abilities.
Indeed, definitely ugly, but I could imagine the Star Trek universe having an ugly duckling communicator like this somewhere between the original series and "The Next Generation". :P
Noted. Thanks for the suggestion.
Wouldn't that be "compensation"?
I was recently looking for a new job, and from the job specs and interviews I have realised that 'DevOps' means very different things to many people. I am a system administrator who likes to automate things and write code, and also spent decades supporting developers and good Agile environments, etc. and production ops environments. Some companies think DevOps is a developer who knows how to deploy services on Ubuntu, and their interview tests the implementation of algorithms covered in recent CS courses. I removed any mention of DevOps from my CV, that made things less confusing for everyone.
I was really into this about a year ago, so I placed one in a brick wall near my apartment. The device probably made it three days before being completely covered in rust.
Thank you for saying this. I am continually surprised by some of these articles attempting to use their 20/20 hindsight to pretend they know what was the right thing to do at the time.
Yep. I haven't been there in 25 years, but the clues in the article told me exactly where it was. Checking Google Earth versus the photos confirmed it.
There's this rule of thumb that a lot of future sci-fi tends to fall into the lifespan of the writer. So its usually 40-50 years out. I guess there's something morbid about writing about a time where you're dead or maybe many writers don't feel confident to extrapolate that far out.

Another way to extend the analogy is its a standard management technique when provided with something you don't want to do, set up an isolated team with no deliverables, no authority, and no direct reports. Ta Da we got us "quality" or "diversity" or "Dev Ops" and we didn't have to change anything.
FYI, you're responding to the OP.

And whatever your thoughts on her article, perhaps you should just keep them to yourself on the off chance that, you know, you might be wrong. She mentioned she can produce evidence for the DEFCON story elsewhere in this thread so you might want to get that $500 ready.
This piece is so confounding about what Devops is and isn't, so much that I'm ready to just flip the bozo bit on anyone who uses the term credulously. This is silly.

I'm interested in that last statement regarding aspartame. It seems you find extremely polarized opinions on artificial sweeteners. I've often read that, regardless of the health impact (or lack thereof), artificial sweeteners are more-or-less "tricking" your body into thinking it has calories incoming, when in fact, it doesn't. Your body, feeling jipped, tries to compensate by craving more calories. But, again, this is hearsay.

I've had this happen. When I got the offer from the CEO (small company) it was what I was currently making but with less job security. I stopped dealing with that recruiter immediately and ignore all correspondence from them (or anyone at their company).

I think what they hear is "I need my compensation to be X" instead of "I need my salary to be X". Big difference.
Great quote. This idea is still not too popular, unfortunately. There are a lot of folks out there that get real mad when configuration is code. Notably, sysadmins that feel forced to learn Clojure or <insert-language-here> to configure an application. "Why not XML or JSON?", they say.
The reason why React probably has not been added is, it is a relatively new technology. And there are only few companies out there who are using it right now.
I suggest going with either "there is no point in continuing" or "I will repeat again my possibly mistaken notion about why I think you're wrong." Because doing both makes you look like somebody who cares more about "winning" than having an actual discussion where people learn things. That's certainly the feeling I'm leaving with.

Again, this is personal, but people in the South and Midwest seem to generally have and occasionally let fly... sentiment... against those who don't appear fully white on first glance.

It's a mistake to judge the actions of the past by the perceptions of the present.

Should we bomb civilians? No. Was the bombing of civilians a commonplace and accepted strategy in WWII? Yes.

So who is right--our present judgment of how civilians fit into warfare or the then-judgment of how civilians fit into warfare?

That is, I think, a reasonable and important question. The article's error is to assume that it knows the answer, perhaps even not to realize that the question is there to be asked or that it haunts the whole discussion. This oversight causes the author to write with pain, confusion, and a sense of indignation and to try to convey this pain, confusion, and indignation to us. Those of us who easily agree with the author's ethical perspective will comfortably join in the drum-beating and cry-rallying. But those who recognize that different times and cultures and situations raise real and serious questions about our perception of ethics will be slower to judge the past.

I'm thankful that we live in a time when we can tread carefully in how we wage war and can work hard to avoid civilian casualties. I agree that wherever possible, civilians--even enemy civilians--should be protected from violence. Killing innocents--even enemy innocents--is wrong. But I don't assume that every time is like ours. If you want to convince me that the bombing of Tokyo (or Dresden or anywhere else) is wrong, convince me that it was wrong by the lights of the people who did it, not be the lights of people who can sit comfortably in their air conditioned offices seventy years later, tapping our opinions into softly glowing screens.

This looks like a pretty good article on that subject: http://rawfoodsos.com/2011/05/31/wild-and-ancient-fruit/

A quick browsing indicates that while our modern fruits are all domesticated, there are plenty of wild, sweet, and large African fruits. Apparently some modern wild berries also have similar sweetness profiles as their domesticated counterparts.

The article points out that one prominent difference that does seem to exist is that wild fruits are harder to eat, due to big seeds, thick and tough exteriors, and lower water content. So you might have to do a lot more work to get the good stuff with wild fruits.

I've eaten wild Muscadine grapes in Georgia that someone found in the woods (I'm not sure if this counts as a wild fruit or not due to potential Native American cultivation, but close enough imo), and they were fairly sweet. They had thick skins and giant seeds in them, so they weren't great actually, but they were sweet.
