We've been using Serilog/Seq and we're extremely happy with it. I'm a little surprised that you didn't mention the buzzword "Structured Logging", which is the special sauce that makes Serilog stand out. Instead of concatenating strings with values, you assign keywords to values which you can later search on. For example,

Log.Info("Customer# {customerNumber} completed transaction {transactionId}", customerNumber, transactionId);

Then using the Seq log viewer you can simply click on "transactionId" in the log line and filter by "transactionId = 456" or whatever. It's one of the most exciting advancements I've seen in the .Net logging world.

EDIT: I realized I didn't really answer OPs question regarding space. If you used Serilog, you can set up different sinks to export to, with different options. For example, you could send all your logs to mongodb, and just recent 1 week rolling logs to the Seq server.
Awk can be used as a unix pipeline tool, or it can be used more as a stand-alone that you make scripts/programs in to do larger tasks.

Similarly, Perl falls under the same category, being an awk/sed replacement. But considering Perl just a unix pipeline tool is also severely underselling it.
I'm finishing my degree online now solely so I can stop explaining why I don't have a degree and, relatedly, for (possible, no definite plans) immigration purposes. Even people who will hire you without a degree always ask, and it's never a good part of the conversation–at best it's not awful.
"The control console connects to the robot over a standard network, which the attacking computer is also linked to. This set up allows the attacking computer to intercept and manipulate the signals sent in both directions between the control console and the robot.

The team tries out three type of attacks. The first changes the commands sent by the operator to the robot by deleting, delaying or re-ordering them. This causes the robot’s movement to become jerky and difficult to control.

The second type of attack modifies the intention of signals from the operator to the robot by changing, say, the distance an arm should move or the degree it should rotate and so on. “Most of these attacks had a noticeable impact on the Raven immediately upon launch,” say Bonaci and co.

The final category of attack is a hijacking that completely takes over the robot. This turns out to be relatively easy since the Interoperable Telesurgery Protocol is publicly available. “We effectively took control over the teleoperated procedure,” they say."

Eh, I think it's just a common mistake, and I corrected them because it's a pet peeve of mine, not because I think it is a big deal. Your line of thinking is not new to me though, and if "could care less" is sarcastic then I would argue it is particularly ineffective sarcasm (see: http://incompetech.com/gallimaufry/care_less.html).
I don't entirely agree. With traditional shells, you can still use objects, you just have to serialize them to text. jq is perfect for this, you can use it to store a serialized object in a variable and then pull things out of it for use with other commands. Example:

example="{}"
example=$(echo $example | jq .foobar=10)

Later on you can pass example.foobar into another program like so:

grep $(echo $example | jq .foobar) ...

You can write simple helper functions that make this more concise. The beauty of it is that this works with any data format - plaintext, json, csv, etc - you just need a tool to serialize and deserialize it.
Nobody Hires Steve Jobs – Radical UX
He's confusing the simple past verb form and the participle. In the English weak verbs, they look identical, but they are used in different tense/aspect/voice structures.

Simple Past: He developed. He drank water.
Participle: He has developed. He has drunk water.

Claiming that it's ungrammatical in standard English to form a present/past perfect tense/aspect with a helper verb plus the participle...! It's nonsense of the highest order.

This is epic-level peevery.

No, that's not the author's argument. Look, I'll save you a click. Here's the line: "Cards Against Humanity is funny, but it’s not that funny."

No that's not what the video demonstrates because the people in the video are professionals.

Ironically the whole monkey-see-man-do-therefore-monkey-can-do-too argument that you're espousing with the 'professional status notwithstanding' line is itself demonstrating one of the actual points of the article, namely the 'I saw someone do this on jackass once so I should be ok to hurl myself out of this window while on fire and with my junk in a snapping-turtle' idea.

The problem is that de Raadt and crew have a much bigger priority: that OpenBSD's code proliferate and prevent any duplication of effort in creating secure programs. They've explicitly stated in the past that they consider proprietary use of their code to be a good thing (albeit it would be better if they'd push some money back to the OpenBSD crowd) because it prevents those companies from having to create yet another in-house-developed (and probably half-assed) security implementation.
Researchers who are forced to teach, and are bad teachers because of this, SHOULD be fired from teaching. If the university doesn't value their research alone enough to justify their employment they probably should also be fired altogether.

Among the companies listed are Facebook and Microsoft.

This list may not be long or exhaustive but it does show a number of companies who are publicly willing to say they use Haskell. It was started in January.

I can personally attest to several companies I have worked with not mentioned in the list which also use Haskell internally. Haskell is not always the bread and butter of the business software. However, it often has an extremely strong presence for developing internal tools, compilers for DSL's, and (micro)services for various tasks.

> It's more common in America only because university costs have skyrocketed in the United States to astronomical proportions.

True in general, but not in the specific. The "big name" universities, mainly private, and the UC system have become so expensive that they are out of reach for the typical working stiff with a high school diploma. That does not mean that every university, or even every university worth attending, is priced that way. Most people in the United States have access to a public university system that will offer them a bachelor's degree that can be paid for solely by working for ordinary wages over the course of 3-6 years. Many of those with good academic records would also qualify for scholarships, and from one's second year onward there are often assistantship positions (teaching, research, administrative) available that may be more convenient or lucrative than other work. Despite the doom-and-gloom you read here and pretty much everywhere else, a 17-year-old American does have choices other than an uneducated lifetime of grinding poverty or entering the workforce half a million dollars in debt.
Imagination to release open MIPS design to academia
My understanding is Google also blocks hardware vendors from working with alternative android based OSes. They accomplish this by threatening the hardware vendors with not licensing Google's android version with Google's apps if they release another android phone with say Kindle OS.

That seems to fall under anti-trust behavior to me. (I'm not a legal expert). Using your strength in one market (search, email, youtube...) gain and protect market share in another (Mobile OS).
Directly related, if you've been keeping up: RC4 is considered weak crypto and, now that CVE-2013-2566 has a base score of 4.3 (i.e. more than 4.0) and RFC 7465 has been published forbidding its use, offering or accepting RC4 should be considered an automatic fail by any PCI compliance scan.

Most of the tiny percentage of sites which only offer RC4 that I've found have been financial. They may not all necessarily fall under PCI themselves, but this is probably about all we can do.

The next round is on the browsers: IE, Chrome and Firefox turning it off completely (it's already only offered on fallbacks for IE, and recent Firefox; Fx nightlies only offered it on a whitelist of sites which still needed it but I don't think that change made it to release because it broke sites, although obviously breaking sites which will only use weak ciphers is unavoidable).

Now this is out of the way, all we really need to do is set a flag day and throw the switch.

If you're still using or offering RC4 for some reason, for heaven's sake stop, because you're going to regret it if you don't. XP has been out of extended extended support for more than a year now, and even unsupported early Android versions have alternatives.
Auth0 Europe Launches
Tree planting is a pretty popular and lucrative summer-time gig for Canadian college students (and other young people). It's paid by the tree, with the price depending on the terrain and the planting rules (spacing, light and soil conditions, depth). There is a lot of quality control done by supervisors, and it takes a lot of skill to plant both well and quickly.

It would be interesting to hear some planters weigh in on the technology described in the OP. Agree the "# of trees planted" is not the best metric--the real question is how many of those will grow into mature trees.

Some background on the job:

Ease of use in this case is not subjective.

If you're going to present a graph, the point of that graph is to be understood so it needs to be read easily and promptly.

Animating the graph every time you move up or down the page gets in the way of that analysis. It erases the data you were about to look and forces you to wait needlessly for it to appear again.

Try to look at one graph and quickly go back to a previous one to check it out in comparison or anything. It's absolutely uncomfortable.

I think the guy should stop talking out his ass about Chess.

Of course there is a lot of confusion. It's new. Try showing Polocrosse on ESPN and you'll get a bunch of confused reactions too - even though it's a legitimate and "physical" sport! It's not something ESPN regularly shows or what the viewers might expect to see.

eSports isn't something that ESPN regularly shows or that viewers expect to see. It needs time to become "expected" and non-surprising. If it brings in ad revenue from the hundreds of thousands of people watching, I'm sure it will stick around.

I would love if ESPN would show Polocrosse just to prove my point though.

Note that the first court decision in the US (in Massachussetts) which led to legalized same-sex marriage was in 2003 with marriage becoming legal in 2004 (national public support at about 42%). Note that this was a state court decision, and public support in Massachussetts may have led what it was in national polls. Most of the final (not lower court decisions that were stayed pending appeal to a higher court which issued the final decision) court decisions -- and the acts by state legislatures not mandated by court decisions -- on the issue have happened in the last few years, with national public support at 50% or above.
I hated liberal arts classes while in college. "They're useless!" I used to decry. I optimized my classes for my degree and took the bare minimum requirements. Only now do I see how useful they would have been if I had taken more. The only thing that sucks is how much they cost.
The "education" provided in college that extends beyond being good in a particular field is not the right place to get that type of education. It amounts to brainwashing and is extremely dangerous. Also, that side of the education is not the primary reason most people go to college and it is not what is typically advertised or thought of as its purpose. I really wish college was more focused on just accomplishing its purpose. As it is now, they are forcing everyone to learn their ideas of wisdom. This is the equivalent of promoting and teaching a specific religion along with your career training.
At the end, those are three features we want from a voting system: that it's anonymous, verifiable, and that one can not prove what he voted for. Well, they are conflicting features, and we just can't have all three.

Paper ballots guarantee none, but people accept it because hacking it is thought to be expensive. That cypto-currency vote, if I got the idea correctly, is verifiable, but fails on anonymity and lack of proof. It may be possible to fix anonymity by some coin-mixing algorithm, but I'm not sure the lack of proof is even possible in practice (for any algorithm).

But anyway, remember that paper ballots guarantee none...

I'm watching my daughter struggle with this. Her first year of college was a complete failure - she couldn't adapt to the environment. After some poking at community college, she realized that she needs to pursue her true passion, which is creating food that is both delicious and ethical. The college world says "Well, spend forty grand a year on culinary school so you can make $12/hour when you get out". She doesn't think that's either financially sensible, or the best way to find a career in food (there are other things to do besides being a chef).

That changed for her this weekend. Through a lucky bit of accidental networking, I got her an interview at a place owned by a world famous chef, who happens to be her favorite chef whose food she has actually eaten. She'll spend her days working as a prep cook, learning the methods and concepts of a genius. And getting paid for it. And if she does well, she can get a reference for her next job from an internationally-known chef.

That's better than college, for her.
If you don't pass the money to the kids outside of as an education expense, the taxes are irrelevant. The money can be given to other beneficiaries. Two siblings, one's finished school with $10k leftover? Give it to kid 2. Money left from that? Either parent wanting to go back to study something? Do they have cousins? Is one of the kids now married to a spouse that wants a degree?

If you ignore that it may be a bit unequal in the distribution of the money (seeming favoritism), all the money can still be spent with tax free earnings on education by passing it around to other potential beneficiaries.

As a former F/A-18 pilot, I’m actually a huge fan of drones, but I’m also suspect of betting everything on them. It strikes me as having the same problem as the JSF: ‘all your eggs in one basket’. If one key flaw can be found with the JSF, a sneaky way to target it, the results would be catastrophic. The same applies to drones, if an adversary can figure out how to deny the comm links or compromise the system, the results would also be catastrophic.

Fighter aircraft are essentially missile trucks with targeting systems. The battle is being won or lost in the electromagnetic spectrum. In this battle, I’m of the mindset that we should have a mix of manned and un-manned missile truck drivers. There are advantages and disadvantages to both systems.
It also helped kill off cross-platform app solutions, like Java Micro Edition and Qualcomm BREW. (BTW, this is one of the big bones of contention between Oracle and Google -- Google used Java to help build Android, but did so in such a way as to make their apps incompatible with J2ME apps.)

I suspect that's the reason then. In the US college used to be similarly affordable, but costs have gone up this past 10-15 years in most states. And in some states long before that. I had friends at Georgia Tech that came from Pennsylvania because out-of-state tuition at GT was cheaper than in-state in PA.
I think the counterpoint is that since Google controls Android, their slow move to a model where the other parties in the Google ecosystem are compelled to adopt Google services vs. whatever services they want to provide.

The Apple model is different. They live or die on the full platform. If Apple fails to execute, people leave the platform. They don't compel the behavior of other parties in the market.
I'm excited to see what comes out of this. I'm a huge fan of Redis, mainly because it gives you a bunch of really tiny, easy-to-understand primitives that you can combine to make something very powerful.

I don't know if this will follow the same philosophy, but I'll be keeping a close eye on this as it evolves.
It's also free on-the-job training for your in-house developers, and it probably also helps your company when you're recruiting developers--you can look for potential employees among the other contributors to the same OSS project your company uses.
> And how many of these are necessary? If you live in a metro area with a University

You seem to assume everyone lives in a major metro area, or that all universities are near one. That's not the case for majority of people and majority of universities. A lot of students go away to school, often in different cities or even different states from their home.

> The worrying part is that costs are rising in large part because college funds exist and credit for education is easy to acquire.

That's an absurd claim. Costs are raising because the government (Fed and State) have been dramatically reducing their share of subsidizing that used to be provided to universities. It costs a lot to put a single student through a single semester, and now families are having to pick up a larger share of that cost burden than ever before. College hasn't gotten more expensive, it's the individuals share that has.
