The security won't get blown out of proportion for trains like air, because while trains can do significant damage to themselves and surrounding buildings - you cant take one and crash it anywhere you like. 9/11 never would have happened with a train. A hijacked plane is a missile.

That I can agree with. I don't often ride long distance rail because even on the Northeast line which is I think the line with the highest ridership you often have to stop for freight trains and other trains.
Interestingly, the TGV record was broken by an unmodified Velaro-D train recently. Standard rolling stock, used the week before for normal transport, used a week after for normal transport.
In addition to what mpesce said, In general I rarely would do anything "free" for a large corporation, unless I saw how it could lead to work. e.g. if I needed a foot in the door or they could lend credibility to me. That doesn't mean I don't want to give back (I strongly believe in it and do it), it just means that large corporations have a history of taking advantage of smaller teams, individuals etc, yet they are the ones in the best position to pay fairly for quality. If you would feel better about doing it if paid then you can also try and offer to schedule it when it might be more conducive for you to donate your time, in which case they may then offer to pay expenses etc.

Just an alternative view too. This solely depends on your goals and whether you need this but you may consider doing the talk if this company can help raise your profile or their credibility might help you with your startup. In that sense you can view it as marketing or research that directly helps your startup. In fact, if the people you would be speaking to would be potential customers for your startup, I'd really think strongly about how you could do it and meet their talk but also do a little promotion at the same time.
I handwound a stator and I would have been very happy with such a present... That's a ton of work if you want to do it nicely.

Best practices on app retention analysis
I didn't look from mobile, so not what you asked, but here are some first impression comments.

1. Rendered in desktop Firefox I was pleasantly surprised. There was no horizontal scroll bar, everything rendered withing the size of browser that I was using, not one that a designer assumed. So many "busy" sites (lots of UI features and activity) seem to assume full screen browsers. So, nice.

2. Rendered in desktop lynx (a text-only browser) looked like full content and activity was available and sane. I haven't done much on the front end, but when I do I check it in lynx, assuming that if it doesn't suck there then it's probably usable on mobile and in accessible readers.

3. Related to 2, it appears that the order of content displayed in lynx is essentially the same as desktop firefox. You can see counter examples if you look at any advertising-heavy commercial site in lynx; you'll see pages of content that were never meant to be displayed, followed way at the bottom by the actual content. The actual content may or may not be in the same order as the desktop experience.

I think of content ordering as meta-content. You present it in a particular order for a reason. So again, nice job here.

4. I am not a UI or UX professional and I don't know what I'm talking about. This is based purely on what has annoyed me in the past. Your site has very little annoyance for me.

Thankfully, train do not have checked luggage and no practical technological way to introduce it (i.e. something that does not require to rebuild all the stations, most of them deep in the cities) - so there is a huge commercial imperative to tone down the security theater .

I hope at least, I don't want to be proven wrong on that one. Boarding the Eurostar for example, is definitively not a 5 min job, more like 1 hour the bad days, but at least you can still carry most of your stuff and considering you do not have 1 hour transit to the airport, it still beats the plane by a good 2 hours.
Reading the article gives the reverse impression: each claims the land belongs to the other; neither wants it.
One line of code, six months of process. But it was code in the module that computed stress on the space shuttle's interconnects between the orbiter and its tanks during launch.

The six months of process was the minimum and all I wanted to change was a goto, eliminating a dead code branch. I can't even imagine if I had tried to make deeper changes.

Having said that, there have been times when I wished Google had a process that would keep some of their odder mistakes from happening. Most recently the android calendar client changes. No month view, really?

The amount of review you mentioned could be excessive or just the minimum because the entire product was sensitive or high risk. With no context it's hard for us to judge.
I voted for bookmarking, but I use it for a bit of both, confusingly.

I feel like what I'm missing is some sort of mechanism for privately bookmarking repositories, perhaps with optional tagging or personal notes. I usually star a repo with a particular purpose in mind, e.g. "oh this could be an interesting way to solve problem X at work" or "ah finally, an MIT-licensed alternative to Project Y". As it stands, there's not really any good way to store that kind of info.

(On a related note, I don't really like the fact that your starred repos can't be made private.)
Containerization. Similar to Project Atomic, CoreOS or RancherOS.

The unfortunate side is that it's a 992MB iso in comparison to a 224MB Debian installation or even a 20MB RancherOS install.

It's bloated.
Not entirely sure that would be useful. Without handpicked curation you will lack context in many instances.

What's your noob to ninja learning to code story?
Unless it got significantly better/redesigned in the last couple of years, Magento is a piece of junk.

Arguably it's been years since I worked with it, but installation was weird, developing is slow a cumbersome, documentation was lacking, search was pretty much broken and it was slow. I can't image running it on a shared host, performance must be terrible.

On the positive side Magento does have an impressive amount of features.

On Validating Software Ideas
Kafka also isn't very popular at all, compared to the general population's choice of reading material.

Old software programs can be useful. For example, consider the diehard following of older programs like Deluxe Paint, Impulse Tracker, etc.

I also don't think it's fair to compare utility the kind of utility programs that you are talking about to the works of Kafka. A novel is something designed to provide entertainment, insight, or some other benefit beyond the basic utility of a tool. I think the game is the best type of computer program to compare to a novel, in that they have the same aims.

A better comparison for the type of program you are talking about would be something like a lost pet flyer, or a personal ad, a "Caution: Wet Paint" sign, the terms and conditions for a website or even a technical manual. These are also works of writing, but probably are not going to provide much value out of their specific situation and context, save for historical interest.

So I guess the take-away is that if you want to create something that will be remembered for a long time, you have to more than just provide utility for your own specific time and situation. I think software programs are more than capable of doing that, the programmer just has to have the right focus in developing (so maybe a game, or a software art program, or a demo like the demoscene), or give the program some personality.

On the other hand utility programs and utility writing are still useful and necessary in the short term, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But there's a distinction between date of invention and impact in everyday life. City populations used to be a very small minority of people, until recently.

The public transit is generally really phenomenal as you said but this year they went crazy with the renovation works.

I mean closing down the most important train line (north-south) for more than 4 months? And now also splitting the east-west metro line in two (again for a few months).

Aside from planned stuff tomorrow and Thursday the trains are off due to strikes. It happens multiple time a year as well.

This usually leaves you with highly unreliable buses and trams.
I'll just go ahead and take the downvotes for suggesting that people who want to use Linux-technology, like Docker, within their OS should just use Linux as their OS.

Yeah. Call me crazy, but I honestly think that makes a whole lot of sense.

That still exists outside the US. Last year I took a flight from germany to a conference in poland and strolled through the airport after checking in. I left the security zone by accident - simply walking through a pair of sliding doors which only open from one side - 10 minutes before departure.

But it wasn't a big problem, I simply went through the metal detector/xrays for hand luggage and arrived at the gate with time to spare.
Someone before me in the line even asked if they had to take their shoes off, the security guy said "haha, no, this isn't america".
You're using Docker Compose on Mac? I tried when it was still called Fig, and while it was wonderful for simplicity, the filesystem performance for VirtualBox/boot2docker made it brutal to use. My Rails apps in development mode (therefore serving up many individual assets) would take almost a minute to load each page.

Has it gotten better, is there a trick you're using, or am I hitting an edge case you don't have?

Many reasons. There's simply not a bike-friendly culture here, there are no special lanes, I'd have to drive in the road. Now I have to carry my lunch, gym clothes, etc. in a bag on my back, if it rains later in the day it's going to be inconvenient. Some days I need to go somewhere during lunch, or after work I want to buy groceries, then I'm constrained by how much I can fit on my bicycle.

Driving is just infinitely more convenient if the roads you're using are not congested.

I tried Kitematic briefly and it seemed fairly buggy. I also was getting some kind of conflict between it and the command line tools with boot2docker. I just stopped using it and moved straight to boot2docker.

Your other options on Mac are Vagrant's docker provider -- which is nice, but I agree in general with the sentiment that it is even nicer to just use Linux natively.
Because they're the ones who the language is valuable to. You have plenty of other options; they don't.
Instead of enforcing them and making it a top-down decision, make it a discussion where everyone has input. If the CSS/HTML is really a mess, then everyone probably knows it and has to work with it every day.

See if you can come up with an estimate for how much of a time suck the bad practices actually create, and how much extra time it would take for people to actually do it correctly the first time.
If you put it to them as "You can spend 10 minutes now, or an hour later when you come back later and have no idea what's going on", they'll probably be a bit more receptive.

Come in with a set of standards - then ask for objections / suggestions and make it a collaborative effort. Be prepared to defend your choices, and allow others to defend theirs as well.

Is there anything like checkstyle for HTML? (I work in Java, and our team uses it to enforce style guidelines) The easier it is for people to follow the rules, the more likely they are to actually do so.
What If Lawyers Blogged as Often as Venture Capitalists?
I will play devil's advocate to your comment and say that it's my impression that the benefits of Docker are such that I can use whatever I want, including OS X, and let the containers be whatever OS suits them. So if I want to do my primary development on a Mac but my prod environment is CentOS, it doesn't really matter since my container is Ubuntu anyway. And I get to use my nice, native toolchain for development, like BBEdit, or whatever I really want.
What really bugs me is that I switched this off in the past and now find that it is back on again!
The problem with that is that once you get disassembled into particles, you're dead. The guy that shows up on the other side can look, feel, think and have the same memories as you, but won't be you.
Both, really. I like this enough to look at it again when I have time.

I rarely "watch" a project however.
And unfortunately it often is used that way, by people who don't understand that animal testing would have caught the birth defects had it been tested on pregnant animals (advocating, if anything, for more thorough animal testing, not for animal testing's ineffectiveness). Of course people aren't interested in this, they're just after the conclusion that supports their preconceived ideas.

If you bet on the right platform, code can live for a while.

For example: this classic paper on compression http://web.stanford.edu/class/ee398a/handouts/papers/WittenA...

was published with a C, Unix-based implementation (I put it here http://brenocon.com/WittenNealCleary-ArithmeticEncodin-cacm-...)

The team has been working on a rewrite "Magento 2" that should alleviate most of the complaints of the original Magento and adopts PHP development best practices (composer, etc).

I also asked them to clarify the versioning scheme[1] specifically related to patches, etc. It sounds like it should be better, but it's hard to tell at this early stage.

They've also taken a radically different approach to documentation with Magento 2. [2]

I would assume they get some govt subsidies in one form or another for building infrastructure.
Well, I think an OSS piece of software can be profitable if you can run it as a service. For example, WordPress (wordpress.com sells subscriptions), or Sentry (getsentry.com). Sure you can run your own, but why not pay someone to take care of that headache?

However, I am looking specifically at nginx. The open version of it is too good and too complete, and by its nature it's not something you are going to run externally to your application. It's what Alan Cox (I think) described as "legacy software", meaning it's a fundamental part of your infrastructure that you expect to just sit there and work.
The only problem with that is you have to fork off that for your own Magento site and it basically doesn't help anyone that doesn't already know what they're doing and patch right away already. :\
Magento code in general is of very dubious quality. I once ran a quick static analysis on it and found some ridiculous results: https://twitter.com/jlas_/status/391615992473722880
> It simply does not make sense to me anymore to try and build high speed rail on the ground, on fixed "rails" in order to not even get close to even slow airplane speeds.

Planes have higher max speeds, but they're subject to weather delays and other issues that bring their average speeds down well into maglev territory.

> With the roll-out of more sophisticated air traffic control systems that will allow denser traffic, higher frequency landing / take-offs, I don't see the sense in fixed systems like rail.

Significant limits remain - planes simply can't takeoff/land too close together due to things like wake turbulence, unloading a plane through a couple doors and jetways takes much longer than a train, etc. The weather issue is a big factor here, as well - a thunderstorm in Chicago can disrupt the entire nation due to connecting flights.

> Do we think that high speed rail will enjoy the freedom that current AMTRAK does where you just drive up, hop on the train and off you go?

It does in Europe and Japan.

I personally am about to embark on a scientific project that ultimately leads to animal experimentation. It's the development of a chemotherapeutic. Perhaps it's a self-serving thing to say, but I think that's one of the few places where animal experimentation makes sense; even the next-generation anticancer drugs, which recruit the immune system, don't make sense to be tested in mice, because in order to transplant the cancer cells, you have to start with immune-system-less mice (otherwise the cancer gets depleted by the mouse's own immune system).
