I think it'll be quite interesting to see how the smaller players organize themselves around the multitude of cluster resource management tools emerging as a natural reaction to Kubernetes growing out of the work Google's done on Borg.

I am curious to see how long of a shake-out period will exist before there's either a de facto stack of "compute resource" tooling, or if there's always going to be a highly fragmented and diverse way to accomplish your goals. Just off the top of my head (and there's way more) I'm thinking about Tectonic[1], Mesosphere[2], Rocket [3], Kismatic [4] as a few examples.

As a technologist and a planner, it's been challenging to see far enough into the future to decide on what tools to devote myself to learning at this point. I do think we're certainly in a "post-public cloud" timeline where we're getting good enough (or will be in 6-12 months) at abstracting virtualization right up to a millimeter or two below the application layer of our stacks. How we choose to do so seems to be currently up in the air.

In my mind, this opens up the possibility of compute as a resource much wider than had previously been possible. We'll be less reliant upon Azure, AWS, and GCP's mixture os Paas and Iaas and much more interested in compute as a resource, likely from bare metal or private cloud providers.

I'm looking forward to the increased efficiency (both through compute power and cost) and security available in moving from a application-level virtualization to operating system-level virtualization.

Indeed. It will be interesting to see how the government responds to non compliance with the terms.

The government appointment monitor at HSBC has apparently been highly critical of the firm in his first annual report:

The critical, 1,000-page report, which summarizes HSBC’s first year under a court-appointed monitor, raises doubts about how effective the government’s use of deferred- and non-prosecution agreements is in reining in wrongdoing and changing culture at the world’s largest banks.

The report cites a litany of problems with the bank’s reforms and compliance procedures, finding that the pace of change is inadequate, said the people, who asked not to be named because the report isn’t public. In at least one instance, a bank manager shouted at an internal auditor who was critical of his work. In another example, the monitor discovered that documents justifying a decision to resolve a client alert were created after the fact although they were presented as being contemporaneous.

Very true, and certainly still a big undertaking, depending a little on how well the type systems at either end line up.
This bit:

> Flask > Django for APIs. For example, a nested api resource in Flask is

> @app.route('/users/<string:user_id>/teams/<string:team_id>', methods=['GET', 'POST'])

> while with Django REST framework this is impossible.

> (drf-nested-routers helps but breaks unless you use only the most basic Django REST framework features.

Is this really true? For a start I've managed to build a complex app without needing nested routers (although they are cool). Second - I've used DRF extensions nested routers without finding any problems.

For me needing an API is a point in favour of using Django for a lot of use cases - you get an elegant declarative syntax and lots of batteries included.

Up until ~2009MY cars, if you didn't pay for OnStar, they never activated your vehicle and they would never have access.

I think it was mostly a liability / strategy decision rather than a cost one, but you can imagine people calling up and begging OnStar to start a subscription when they need it and then cancelling immediately after. Or trying to subscribe if their car was stolen to track it down..
Waze and Los Angeles Partnering to Smooth Out Commutes
Chrome on iPhone is forced to use Apple's rendering engine, not Google's. In particular, it can't implement any HTML/CSS/JS features that Safari on iPhone doesn't implement.

Apple benefits partially in terms of disallowing possibly-unsafe code (JS interpreters, for example) that they themselves did not author. But also from locking out competing browsers so their hardware is harder to commoditize...

In terms of stifling competition, it means there isn't meaningful competition on iOS in terms of features browsers expose to web pages. Browsers on iOS can have different user interfaces, but they all look more or less identical as far as web pages are concerned. (I say more or less because browsers can implement a custom network stack; just not a custom CSS parser or JS engine.)

So for example, if you want a browser on iOS that supports the "transform" CSS property without the "-webkit" prefix, you're out of luck. Apple's policies don't allow such a browser. This is not "break-through technology", of course. But a browser engine in a memory-safe language, with the resulting smaller attack surface, is. And it's disallowed by Apple.
Having a monopoly might put you under the microscope, but you certainly can't get away with anticompetitive practices like price fixing or wage fixing even if you don't have a monopoly.
I don't know if many scientists and researchers understand how much harder it becomes to do science when you are surrounded by information chaos.

If you have someone tossing the right words at you here and there, and I literally mean like 10 words over 5 years - if those are the right 10 words, then that can mean all the difference between making sense and going crazy. Having a smart teacher point you in some direction that they have a developed intuition for is billions of times more valuable than having what essentially seems like static noise.

Which gets to a more important point about slow progress in research. If you go too fast, it's complete chaos. Languages and data doesn't translate well across large populations quickly, information gets entangled with multiple incorrect definitions and multiple ways of interpreting, entire populations can be wiped of their confidence of the integrity of information and data, left with shrugs and feelings of confusion that has zero inertia behind it.

For those of you who read about the genocide and want to understand more of the background, I highly recommend "The Art of Political Murder." It starts in 1998, when a Catholic Bishop was found bludgeoned to death in his own garage two days after publishing the report that detailed the Guatemalan army's role in the genocide. It covers a lot of the political and racial history, the efforts of the army to cover up the genocide, and the ensuing trial.

> Maybe it's unclear for you. I told you what Lisp is: a group of languages who, evolve over time, share literature, community and code.

Okay, so ignoring the fact that this definition is so vague it could apply to C, C++, and Objective-C, can we agree that this is entirely your opinion and is obviously not shared by Scheme users? Can we agree that the meaning of words is determined by usage and not everyone uses the word your way?

> Time moves mostly in one direction.

Thank you obviousman.

Look, the core of what I'm saying is that words can mean more than one thing. The fact is, the word "Lisp" is overloaded. Maybe it isn't overloaded in your little insular community, but that doesn't mean other people's usage of the term is wrong, and there's it's both pointless and rude to try to force other people to use your jargon.
> This is the whole reason the site itself doesn't direct you to https or advertise it is available.

They are advertising it. They have a web-server running on 443 open to the public, they aren't required to, but they choose to. They're also erroneously returning status code 200 (instead of 404 or 301).

> So, if you use an extension that randomly directs you to connect using a method the site operator never told you to use, expect problems.

Nothing "random" about it.

The site advertises that it has HTTP running on 80 and HTTPS on 443. So I have an extension which opts for 443 when status code 200 is returned as a first priority and then 80 as a backup. Google and Bing's search results do exactly the same thing.

If they don't want people to use HTTPS/443 then simply shut it down, problem solved. If you have to have 443 running for another site then return status code 404 (or 301).

Chroms of iOS is a re-skinned Safari WebView[1]. They just put a front-end on it with their added on features. Apple entirely controls the browser and what's allowed, disallowed, supported, etc. For example, Google's SPDY protocol wasn't supported until Safari 8[2], and probably then because much of what SPDY entailed was adopted as HTTP/2.

It's not true at all. I've done nested routers in DRF plenty of times.

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('users/(?P<user_id>\d+)/teams', UserTeamViewSet)

You can then access user_id via self.kwargs['user_id'] from within the viewset. And the team ID is implicitly added by the router to support list (and update), and retrieve (delete, put, patch) methods. user_id is also passed as a kwarg to the dispatched method (create, retrieve, etc...)
They keep telling me that all the time!!!
This is only legitimate if you consider designing a system that requires this to be legitimate.

A simpler solution:

1) Use a "real" deployment mechanism, not an authenticated git pull from Github.

2) Write software to be easy to deploy. If you require a ton of external fiddly work to get the code running, that's what necessitates the use of a shared development server.
Using a Simple Business Intelligence Platform to Answer Interesting Questions
One of my more favorite reasons to use Django would be - http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ - whose discoverable API browser is awesome and saves so much time in building out a great REST API with pagination, related resources, and so many other things (plus you can post from the API browser). A bit less so the built-in admin features, which are also nice at times. Possibly also the migrations system. I don't use Django templates, but the rest of it are pretty much great.

I almost started a very major project with Flask, but am glad I did not for how much work DJRF and South had saved.
Which doesn't matter, as there are far more smartphone platforms than just iOS.
I took classes in literary criticism during college, and I think they have given me mental habits and tools that have served me very well.

Essentially, it helps me see the hidden layer under what people say and (especially) write--the influences, desires, assumptions, etc. that create differences in how each person thinks and communicates.

This has been helpful as I have moved into a management role. Office politics often are the end result of unspoken agendas and wishes of coworkers. Critical theory helps infer those from the seemingly straightforward text of emails and what people say in conversation.

What people want and what they say are often two different things. Engineers and programmers, used to working with systems whose behaviors are explicitly and objectively defined, can find this frustrating. My opinion, it is reality, so might as well deal with it. I've found critical theory helpful in that.
I'm happy to be donating to Watsi, but I think this post? press release? is a bit frustrating. Showing us lots of happy Guatemalans is really a distraction from the basic message.

But maybe I'm unusually resistant to aspirational marketing...
The Must-Attend Digital Conferences of 2015
I think that at least for the 2nd and 3rd quartiles of the market, realtors don't add much value and will eventually no longer be part of most transactions.

Very high-end homes will probably always command a "concierge" style assisted sales approach. Both the buyers and sellers will want this, and be willing to pay for it. There is a lot more margin in these homes to cover the commissions.

Very low-end or badly damaged homes may require some specialized sales assistance as well, though most of those will end up as sheriffs' auctions anyway.

Before the internet, realtors were the gatekeepers of the MLS. You had to deal with them to find out what homes were available and what features they had. Now that is all a mouse-click away. So what value does the realtor add? Not much. They set up the MLS entry, and then wait for it to sell. The transaction itself is highly standardized. The lender and title company will take care of all all the paperwork, legally required forms, etc. What assistance an agent does provide (filling in a boilerplate "offer to purchase" contract, etc.) could easly be handled online in a LegalZoom fashion.

Realtors may help with peace-of-mind for the first-time buyer or seller. I used a realtor the first time I bought a home, and when I later sold that home. Reflecting, it was pretty quickly clear that they had done very little work for the thousands of dollars they took out of my pocket. I have bought and sold FSBOs since, and never regretted it.

From my work with the transgender community, I know several people who escaped into both of those lifestyles because they didn't know how to deal with who they are or were afraid to do so and, later in life, still found themselves profoundly unhappy.

They end up, in their 40s or 50s, trying to do what they wish they could've done when they were younger, only now they have an albatross around their necks that makes it even more difficult to pursue their happiness.

I guess I'm lucky in that I've never been either career-oriented or family-oriented. I have my friends and my hobbies, and I dearly love both, but I never had any desire whatsoever to either start a family or climb the corporate latter, and that's worked out well for me. I have lots of free time, and I have so little attachments that I was able to reinvent my life last year with minimal fuss.

>Correct me if I'm wrong, my impression is that they don't have the anti-American nationalism and not invented here syndrome mentalities that countries in Europe seem to have. Big advantage.

Israeli philo-Americanism is its own can of worms. But in general: Israel is a very young country, often only a couple of steps up from the developing world, and is thus lacking in an "establishment" to "disrupt". This makes it a very good place to experiment, simply because, what the hell, nobody's going to try to stop you, and the masses and government feel more bolstered by your experimentation than threatened.

But this comes with a distinct downside for the country: that big, serious stuff is assumed to either be "kmo ba'hul" (like [it is] abroad), or to eventually necessitate a move abroad. Successful Israeli entrepreneurs and engineers hope to move to Silicon Valley or New York, with the unfortunate result that Israel stays a very young country with comparatively less-developed infrastructure.
