Me: Who are you ?

AI: I am a piece of software named ACUMAN with a highly clever sense of intelligence.

Me: Are you evil ?

AI: I do not consider myself as evil , as a computer machine.

I think the correct term you should use is Rockstar Ninja, but this might have changed, too.
I think the biggest issue with current CM systems is that they aren't made by people with any experience actually administering large scale infrastructures.

The focus to me seems all wrong. Ansible has a blue million modules, but so many of them are incomplete or downright useless. The cron module can handle cron.d files, but it still tries to manage individual lines in the file and tracks state with comments. It can easily get confused and add multiple entries for the same cron job. Puppet had the same problem. The solution is obvious: just make it barf a pre-made file into /etc/cron.d. But why does no CM actually do this?

Over the last year I have spent a lot of time using Ansible, and I've eventually given up on the cron, sysctl, service and get_url modules and resorted to running commands or copying files. This isn't very clean and it can be brittle, but the alternative of fixing the modules is off the table. The debugging or logging support in most modules is literally non-existent.

There also seems to be a pretty serious scaling issue with the way Ansible processes its inventory, even when using the (absolutely essential) _meta optimization that provides the entire inventory in one command. This is at only a few hundred hosts and tens of thousands of variables.

Contrast this with Puppet: while there are a great many things I hate about it, the dependency system and ability to define your own types inside of the DSL was pretty powerful. Too bad that you eventually had to get down to writing Ruby modules to do certain things. Also too bad that they built it as a client-server system, allow you to export resources between hosts, and took forever to make the execution order deterministic.

The final nail in the coffin for CMs and me is that Ansible (along with Chef, Puppet, Salt) try to do so much but have no concept of absolute state enforcement. The host should always either be in state A or B; the CM system should be able to move in either direction between A and B; and it should never be left in a state inbetween A and B. With Ansible it's quite possible to get permanently locked into a middle state, since it may die before handlers are run (which are then never triggered in subsequent runs).

Building these tools is admittedly harder than it looks, but the fundamental building blocks of a CM system aren't that tough. So many recipes boil down to literally a three step process: install package, copy config file (templating is super nice), start service. Stop trying to play nice with local modifications, the whole point is that I want you to enforce state absolutely -- local modifications are the enemy!

I wish there was a CM that focused on getting this stuff absolutely right and then made it easy to build on top of that.

Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique.

Unlike pregnant which is a binary (are/are not), unique means the quality of differing from other things, and this is a continium.

Even the dictionary, in one of the terms for unique, gives a meaning that's not "unique" in a binary way at all:

"not typical; unusual".

If it wasn't a continuum we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique" used above (like we don't have for pregnancy). And they are not mere errors (like using your instead of you're etc.), they are used to express this notion, that something can be "different" than all other things in different deegres.
It's not about encrypting video files specifically, but:

* Not leaking any tracking or user-identifiable information. EME DRM plug-ins track users, but browsers don't have control over this (and I guess it may even be illegal to audit EME DRM security due to DMCA), so it's best to have it on HTTPS just in case.

* All new browser features require HTTPS (and EME DRM plug-ins are new-ish), because browser vendors want to deprecate HTTP, and don't want headache of mixed content or HTTPS alternatives built on DRM.
Many years ago you did not need any karma to down-vote anything. That has changed a long time ago and for years I refrained to get higher karma just to regain the ability to down-vote.

It seems there is a 500 karma threshold for down-voting comments and another one to down-vote posts.

Edit: And another karma level to down-vote comments beaten to death.

Jesus Christ.

it's a parable, he means "older people", why is it, when it's a guy it's ok but if it's a woman it's sexist.

sure, his words could be "parent" but:

1) it doesn't flow

2) it's something everyone can relate to

3) we're from a generation of the largest number of single parents (which are mostly women)

4) it's an adorable method of wording, not a derogatory one.

for the love of god can people stop harping on about sexism, sexism exists and you just hurt the cause when -every- time soemone says "woman" you just jump to the defensive and start slandering everyone.

Don't assume malice, your life will be easier.
I just checked it. RapydScript generates very logical code than CoffeeScript.

CoffeeScript:

var ref;
(ref = [2, 1]) === [1, 2] || ref === [2, 1] || ref === [3, 5] || ref === [3, 5];

RapydScript:

function _$rapyd$_in(val, arr) {
if (arr instanceof Array || typeof arr === "string") return arr.indexOf(val) != -1;
else {
if (arr.hasOwnProperty(val)) return true;
return false;
}
}
_$rapyd$_in([2,1], [[1,2], [2,1], [3,5], [3,5]]);

One thing I worried about RapydScript is generated variables. Pre-compiler needs to be scope aware. I am not sure how difficult or feasible it would be.

Short answer, no. But you need a whole lot of projects to show off before you can get your foot at the door of some companies.
Nope on both counts. It's a common idiom to say that someone is 'very pregnant'.
The TCP timeout is kind of irrelevant if your application defined timeout is lower. Cassandra's default timeout is 10s, but in practice most users expect their responses in less than a second.

With BetterTouchTool[1] you can both move and resize by combining keypresses with mouse movement; for example, I have it set so that holding Option will move a window along with my mouse cursor, and Option+Shift will likewise resize a window. No dragging needed, actually. It has a metric ton of other features, but these are the only ones I use.

Also, Spectacle[2] gives you most of the benefits of a tiling window manager without actually having to run one. I have Command+Option+{Left,Right} set to move and resize a window to the left or right vertical halves of my screen, and I use those combinations constantly.

Further, I second the sibling's recommendation for Witch. If buying a license hadn't removed the "You have used this X times" counter, I'd tell you how many times I've used it, but it's easily in the hundreds of thousands.

Interestingly enough, over here (Helsinki) we have lots of segregated bike/pedestrian paths, and many cycling activists want to remove them from inner city and have bicycles on the street among other vehicles, "to be equal".

Personally, I think they're nuts. The separate paths are good, even if we still have to watch out in intersections.
If you're going to use shell and not ansible, then why not use shell with m4. I'm not suggesting shell+m4 is better than ansible, or that ansible+m4 (wtf?! right?) would be a good idea.

Just why not use a readily available template/macro language along with shell scripts, if you've decided to use shell scripts.

I suppose you could use jinja and bash -- but why pull in two full interpreters as a dependency?
This is great, but the gang signs comment seemed really out of place and unnecessary.
I was somewhat aware of dependencies, but they don't really do what I want.

I want to be able to execute a role (or task within a role), much like calling a function, that will be executed at the point it is called (dependencies are all executed before the role executes.

I may also want to call the "function" multiple times within a role, with different parameters, to, for example, deploy a template several times to different named files. And yes, dependencies can execute roles multiple times, but this is business logic that belongs in the main role file, not in a meta file. And from what I can see, dependencies can only call a role as a whole, not a part (or task) therein.

Basically what I have with "include" does exactly what I want, but it would be nice if it was a bit more explicit that I was calling a role component, something like:

# Role X

- name: deploy conf files

callrole: common::deployconf

args: name={{ item.name }} val={{ item.val }}

with_items:

- { name: 'conf1', val: 33 }

- { name: 'conf2', val: 42 }

Where callrole::conf corresponds to roles/common/tasks/deployconf.yml. This might allow for more powerful constructs than is available by simply using include.

I went into consulting at 24 and had around 3 years of commercial experience.

Fast forward a year later and I have numerous clients and am working on some exciting projects. I currently charge £35p/h (Based in the UK). The hardest part I found was that some clients do not trust you due to your age (Might be a UK thing) but this is where your sales pitch will come in handy.

The most important skill I found was to be able to communicate effectively with clients, to be able to break problems down and explain them in layman terms for them. This builds up their trust with you and then the sale gets easier.

Get out there and start networking, meeting business owners, your parents contacts, your own contacts. One of the best contracts I had come from an university friend I went for a coffee with.

Build up a few months of funds and work on some freelance work on the side and then go full time into it.

It's easy to become seduced over the articles on HN, Double Your Freelancing, Patrick McKenzie earning $30k/week and guys commenting they charge $180.

The reality is very different.

Most consultants are much older than 23. They usually know a few technologies inside-out.

For example we had to hire someone recently - he was a guy in his mid-40s who knew this particular thing we needed doing, this is a real email:

----------

My rate would be £1350/day + expenses.

If the customer wishes to go ahead, I would suggest spending a day on site when all the relevant [company name] staff will be available, and possibly [third party company] who I presume is a supplier or partner associated with the X.25 links or the function which runs over them? This would be split into a meeting where I can discover more about their requirements and constraints, and then some time investigating the systems to see what they're running on the systems, what can be found of any development/build/testing environment, etc. I can then return home and write this up for them, so they can decide what they want to go. This is a minimum of 2 days work for the visit and initial write-up, but it would be wise to allow for more because it's going to depend on what I find when I get there which is a big unknown at the moment, as they know so little about the system themselves -- it might take longer than a day on site to work out what their current setup is.”

----------

Note £1350/day is about $250/hour, however, he was worth every penny because nobody in our company knows how to do this.

He was on site roughly 2 days though to gather requirements and around 2 weeks to do the work. 12 days at that rate is $24,000.
10% would be OK. It covers their card processing, advertisement fees, paying some software developers reasonable rates to improve the service.

But 10% is not real. These sites charge 15-30% on top of card processing fees. That's too much.

I moved most of my projects to Ansible, but I have a project that is still on Puppet and I really would like to move on.

The reason is that I need a centrally managed server where clients pull for changes because the clients are not online all of the time.

Does anybody have experience with Ansibles pull model explained here http://jpmens.net/2012/07/14/ansible-pull-instead-of-push/ ?
"Exercise is much harder for me than for others, for example, and I don't know why."

genetics can partially account for the lack of improvement after training, one specific gene "alpha-actinin 3 (speed gene)". The other component is environment.

to training than others? Are you a sprinter
or a marathon runner?

http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/4132778.htm
Agreed. 10% would be worth it. That's like ebay.

20% + card processing fees is not worth it. I think we'll see market forces push down the rates of return on these companies.
Don't say it's better than the others then, just say "here's my version, what do you think of it ?".

You will always learn something by releasing it.

I'd argue that agitation time, press time and brew technique (inverted vs regular) are also worth considering, albeit not as important as the three you mention (plus bean choice). In particular, I find inverted brew vs regular brew using an Aeropress makes a huge difference.

Hey, Did you check your website in any devtools? https://cldup.com/RzHlihm1sr-3000x3000.png. It's breaking pretty badly.
I have a Moto 360 and I used it everyday. Mainly using it for notification peek to see if I needed to respond immediately on them when the phone is in my pocket - I only turned on the notification for the apps that I cared about. Also often I used it to make call, send message, add quick reminder/note using voice when I am driving.

Though I must say it is not a must-have, just an extension to the smartphone, which is doing just fine without any other accessories.

The only one main issue with current gen smart watch is the battery life (except the Pebble of course), which can be frustrating because you need to charge it everyday, especially some of them need special charging docks (like Moto 360), but so far I am already used to it, so it was an OK for me, still, if you run out of battery, you can't even tell the time which is slightly not-so-funny sometimes.
From practical testing, I'd say it makes a difference, but it's second-order compared to grind size, temperature, steep time.

Where I live we have many bike roads, and in similar way, I can't tell how many times I see pedestrians use those roads. Parents with strollers are nearly performing suicide for themselves and their children, a behavior which is likely illegal as well.

It is almost as if everyone only care about conveniences rather than safety. If only everyone followed traffic laws, had dedicated roads for each kind of transportation, and maintenance for each kind of road was identical, then we would not be in this mess. As it stand, people are a hazard to each other when traffic of one kind mixes with an other.

Practical point: I've had an Aeropress for years, using it at least once a week, often daily, always inverted.

I've never knocked it over. It's much more stable inverted than you might think.

The first stage will be empty of fuel and is basically a big empty metal balloon with a huge lump of metal at the bottom.

Driving on the motorway without functional lights is extremely dangerous. Bikes can use the side-walk or stop when meeting traffic, but cars do not really have that option when dealing with broken down equipment.

That said, the law is the law. You have to be visible in traffic. If the light burns out, then maybe its a bad idea to be out in traffic at night.
That reads just as a regular while loop.
