Well this is definitely a fair argument for the Cloud - it prevents you from needing to buy another smaller, cheaper computer to leave at home and do all the serving duty. Even though that would be an effective solution to your problem (it can be done quite cheaply), because the Cloud is there - you probably won't consider it.
Engineers right out of school make $200k/yr working for the likes of Google or Facebook.

This is incredibly rare. Including equity and bonus, the numbers are closer to $140-170k, and that's for Stanford graduates. $200k+ comes later (although it can come quick if you're good at career planning). That's Staff Engineer territory at Google.

I agree with everything that you're saying. I just don't want misinformation to be out there.

Amazing. You inspired me to write a blog post.
I'm primarily commenting not on the book (the existence of which I just learned in the previous book), but on the article. Point is that German exports have been strong when the currency was strong, and they are strong with other EU countries as well as outside the EU. The USA may have helped Germany with a favourable exchange rate out of political motivation (strong ally, look commies how well OUR Germany is doing - props to the US btw.). Economically it seems like a bad deal; Wallstreet might benefit indirectly, but it's not like the USA took ownership of German companies as reparations (that's what the Soviets did, again, thanks Americans for being cool like that).

"You would know that if you actually read it."

Key is, I knew it without reading it, as the topic is already ultra-well researched. The onus can't be on me to read his book, in particularly coming from that author: Wouldn't he likely be the most biased person on the planet in this matter? Objectively, giving him all the credit (heh...), wouldn't such a book be primarily a political statement of a man under immense pressure? A tool to put some narrative to support his politics? Big words like "The Global Minotaur" would make it seem like it is.

Basically, the article discusses the global effects of "global imbalances". The author does not say Germany is to blame for Greece's problems.

I'm probably not the best person to answer this question, but I do some experienced hiring into technology and business fields, and a fair amount of recruiting overall. YMMV.

Two main points:

1. Don't worry about your resume too much. You're probably not going to get your next "real" job off your resume alone, so your accomplishments, projects, relationships are going to be more important anyway.

2. As in any position, you have to clearly and concisely show what you did and the impact you had. That's almost easier to do as a freelanced because you did it all. There's value in that: it's just at a different scale than a larger business. I'd wonder if doing something simple like incorporating your freelance business (so it shows up as "Buzzword Consulting" and not "Self-Employed" on your resume) might yield a stronger emotional response.

This solves a real problem, but I can't help but feel it is a band-aid hack.

The main fundamental advantage (vs implementation quirks of git) I can see is that these files are only fetched on a git checkout. But (of course) this breaks offline support, and it requires additional user action.

Wouldn't it have been fairly easy to build exactly the same functionality into git itself? "Big" blobs aren't fetched until they are checked-out? This also has the advantage the definition of "big" could depend on your connectivity / disk space / whatever, rather than being set per-repo.

This looks really interesting. You basically trade the ability to have diffs (nearly meaningless on binary files anyway) for representing large files as their SHA-256 equivalent values on a remote server.

What will be interesting is to see whether GitHub's implementation of LFS allows a "bring your own server" option. Right now the answer seems to be no -- the server knows about all the SHAs, and GitHub's server only supports their own storage endpoint. So you couldn't use, say, S3 to host your Git LFS files.
Needs more Lua! :)
So they have to leave their laptop plugged in and connected to the network - I think most Macs sold are laptops - which is a pain in general (prevents you from just closing the lid and forgetting about the laptop whenever you want), but especially difficult in various travel-related situations - say, one has brought the laptop with them but has left it in the hotel safe (or the hotel has poor Wi-Fi, etc.)... [1]

...and they have to be able to traverse the NAT, which is possible in some way on most, but not all connections (suppose Apple could proxy, but then you get back to data centers)...

...and they have to have good upload speed, if the browsing process from the client phone is to be sufficiently interactive, which, sadly, is relatively uncommon even on connections with good download speed, not to mention the many connections that are just crap...

...and if the server's drive fails, their treasured data is lost, so they should make sure to keep backup drives around (or online backups, but ditto data centers)...

...and they have to have a Mac (or PC) to act as a server, which an increasing number of iOS users don't (yet they still want to be able to store more photos than fit on their phone)...

For what? Saving a few dollars on a cloud plan for your expensive iOS devices? Preventing the NSA from snooping on your vacation photos? (Most people don't care, but for those who do, an easier solution for Apple would be implementing client side encryption. Of course, this does not currently exist, except for iCloud Keychain.) Saving energy? (Apple's data centers use purely renewable energy, your home probably doesn't.)

Reliability, resilience to cloud outages? That's a fair point, and an option to use a desktop as a backup would be nice, but I guarantee you most users would still opt to use Apple's secret mega-data centers in the desert. (Also, Apple's servers are more reliable than they were in the past, and since we're talking about new engineering effort - if they were as reliable as, say, Google, would this still really be an issue?)

The logic causing you to use a RPi makes sense to you (and I bet part of it is the flexibility that's available to a sysadmin/programmer but wouldn't be to an average user in any scenario), but for most people's use cases, I think it simply doesn't make any sense. So it's no surprise that Apple isn't working on it.

[1] A separate device like your Raspberry Pi, or Apple's AirPort Express, would solve this problem, but not the others.
The thing is, no one is forcing you to use this solution. You can use your internet connection, install a HTTP server, and do whatever you want. When they start infringing on that, then yes, we have an issue.

Your DIY solution is still too complex for your average user.
There's a big gap between unlimited and what Apple gives away.
After a quick scan, I'm a bit worried that this is too tied to a server in practice. For example, if I've downloaded everything locally, can I easily clone the whole download (including all lfs files) into a separate repo? If I can, can changes to each be swapped back and forth?
It won't download 100GB of photos to your devices. Instead it will download only the thumbnails and intelligently download the photos as needed.
That's not true. I had it working over the internet, separate domains with public/private certs fairly easily.
Agreed. At the end of the day investors are doing the following formula:

(Projected Revenue * %Risk of Ruin) = Valuation

If you overestimate the projected revenues, or underestimate the risk , you're still arriving at the wrong valuation, and if investors are doing this systematically, we get a bubble.

It means their memory isolation is using hardware accelerated extensions. I would imagine it's still shared kernel and thus not "virtual machines".

It makes sense for their container solution to make use of existing Hyper-V components like the virtual switch etc.

But for that to be possible it's likely they needed to make use of VT-x and VT-d (if using stuff like hardware accelerated network device isolation like SRIOV).

If anything this is closer to Bromium [1] than anything else.

Will be interesting to see if this requires Hyper-V to be running in Type-1 mode (or if this will be the default in upcoming Windows versions) or if they are able to make use of the virtualisation extensions without actually running the host as a Hyper-V partition.

So much cool stuff to hear about at BUILD.

You basically trade the ability to have diffs (nearly meaningless on binary files anyway) for representing large files as their SHA-256 equivalent values on a remote server.

That's exactly what git-annex does. Except it can host on your own servers, or S3, or Tahoe-LAFS, or rsync.net, etc. And it's free software. And it supports multiple servers for the same repo, so you have redundancy.

Adding an S3 remote is just setting the AWS keys and running a single command: http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/using_Amazon_S3/
Or you've changed focus.

I look at my old code from 10 years ago and on a line-by-line aesthetic basis, it's pretty good. It's probably better than the code I wrote yesterday, given that I haven't yet setup my IDE to reformat it into a consistent style...

But that's exactly what's changed in the last 10 years. Now I consider my code in the context of the world around it, and don't waste time doing things that I can get machines (or other people) to do for me. So while my actual code has gotten worse, I'm much more inclined to use third-party libraries and frameworks when appropriate to solve problems. The problems I solve are more important to me. I pay more attention to how the code fits into the rest of the world around me than how it looks inside.
If the extension is open-source, you could probably build your own server implementation and fork the extension to change what server it contacts.

Is that tendency toward idleness punctuated with productive spurts actually a weakness? I would hold that it is actually the appropriate situation in many respects, and that our society simply hasn't adapted to account for it yet. One of the only physical characteristics that humans have going for them compared to other animals is their physical endurance. We're built for long stretches of physical work. We are not, however, built for long stretches of intellectual work. Economically speaking it also makes sense. While a worker performing physical tasks establishes a level of productivity and remains mostly constant, an intellectual worker multiplies the productivity of others tremendously. They change the nature of the work being done. Economically, at least in a capitalist system, this is supposed to result in those intellectual workers seeing their compensation rise tremendously as well - providing them with the resources to take long breaks allowing them time for contemplation, improvement of their skills, etc. Were it not for the illegal actions of major tech companies early in the growth of the software field, we might see compensation related to the value intellectual workers produce. As it is, they set the standards for what such workers should be paid and divorced it completely from the value of the work being performed.

This has happened before, back during the Industrial Revolution. Factories and mechanical automation enabled workers to leap in productivity over their craftsmen predecessors, and factory owners divorced their compensation from the value of the work. Eventually, whole families had to work extremely long hours 6 or 7 days a week just to be able to afford to eat. Society let this happen because they saw the workers as not deserving of a share of the value they were creating because 'a machine was really doing the work and the owner paid for the machine'. Things eventually reached a breaking point and society forced factory owners to pay a single person enough to raise an entire family on for 40 hours of work in a week. This was a monumental change. Whereas previously about 3 incomes with each working 60+ hours a week was necessary to raise a family, 1 income from 40 hours reaching the same amount was not a minor adjustment.

Social change takes time. Mental workers being a large group is really quite new, and society hasn't yet figured out how to handle them best. They're trying to just treat them the same as physical workers, which will inevitably fail simply because the human brain is not built for decades of constant mental work.
First Estate: investors and well-connected serial founders who can raise money on a drop and get injected at VP levels in tech giants on a phone call. They dominate SV culture.

Second Estate: true technologists. Programmers and designers and makers.

Third Estate: everyday people. Often pissed off (justifiably) about the arrogance of the Valley's tech barons. Tend to protest Google buses, making it hard for Second Estaters to get to work (while being slightly amusing to First Estate assholes). They're the "counter-culture" you describe, along with the regular people who are getting annoyed by tech's arrogance. A few of them are the anti-vax NIMBY assholes who are even more execrable than the tech barons, but most of them are just normal people.

Silicon Valley is dominated by the First Estate. The Second Estate is misled to think it's in charge by workplaces with ball pits, but has no real power or hope of advancement or financial upside except in extreme long-tail cases. So much of the narrative has been II vs. III. That's because the First Estate doesn't want the Second and Third Estate to get together and realize that they don't need the First.

See, the Second Estate has weak organizational and social skills, and has been systematically infantilized ("Agile"/Scrum) to keep it that way. We could learn a lot from Third Estaters (who are often just as smart as we are) in politics, government, law, labor activism, etc. But we've been told by the VC elite to reject such people as parasitic future-averse peons, and they've been told that we're a bunch of socially inept, prematurely affluent assholes. This artificial II/III cleavage works to their benefit, and it hurts us, by making us dependent on the First Estate for funding and approval.
I share a similar fear. I am a 25 year old dev. I have a bachelors degree in comp sci from a large state school. I have an internship plus an additional year of experience under my belt. I am constantly aware of the age of my competitors. I constantly feel as though I am behind the curve. I am always been told that I am too young to worry about such things, but I feel as though people don't understand my industry. My fears are not substantiated by my experience. I have had no trouble finding employment. I have been coding since the age of 12 and truly love the profession. I have a strong desire to succeed. I love the industry. However, I feel as though the constant comparison is hindering me mentally.

Nice! I just returned to Sublime after getting fed up with Atom's performance and stability issues, and I can't believe it took me this long to switch back.

One thing that bothers me, maybe more than it should-- On OS X, I like opening directories for editing by using the open command:

open [folder] -a Sublime\ Text

This is great, but I hate that Sublime Text has a long, two-word name, requiring me to escape the space or use quotes (it was even worse when I had to type Sublime\ Text\ 2).

I've tried aliasing and symlinking "sublime" as a shortcut, but since the open command uses Launch Services to find the application name, none of that shell trickery works. This is the only thing preventing complete text editor zen :(

> Every user and organization on GitHub.com with Git LFS enabled will begin with 1 GB of free file storage and a monthly bandwidth quota of 1 GB.

Does this mean that with the free tier I can upload a 1GB file which can be downloaded at most once a month?
Even a small 10MB file, which fits comfortably in a git repo, could be downloaded only 100 times a month. Maybe they meant 1TB bandwidth?
You raise a good point. I remember how this was discussed in the 90ies as a downside of the common currency, to be weighted against the benefit of simplified trade in a common market.

The "filter-by-filetype" approach used here is going to work a lot better for mixed-content repositories than git-annex, which doesn't have that capability built-in (to my knowledge).

At work we have a bunch of video themes that are partially XML and INI files and partially JPG and MP4. LFS would work great for us, except we don't use github (we don't have a need for it.) It looks like this is going to be very simple for that kind of workflow.
