As mentioned by the guy above you, 30% was to valve, and bethesda determined the rest. A 30% cut is similar to what you'd get from the app store and in my opinion is reasonable for the costs of hosting and perhaps supporting the mods.

This all seems like an attempt to app-storify mods. I really didn't think it was a bad thing.

That's a good way to describe it, I was having trouble explaining that succinctly on my own! And I will update the project on GitHub to give due credit to libraries utilized.
Indeed, decomposition is easier than extracting modules. This is often an argument in favor of modularity! :) As others have mentioned, the second issue can be addressed with tooling.

But, is excessive modularity really the culprit? Are you saying you read the code and found that to be the case, or it's just a hunch? Reading through the comments here, it seems that whatever one's personal hobby-horse happens to be is what will get the blame.

I'm part of a team within IBM that's been using Agile (Scrum) for the last 6 years.

Originally it was just quite close to Waterfall dressed up as Agile but "they" (senior management) are finally getting their heads around it.
> This kind of reminds me of the 'Better off Ted' episode, where the company's new motion detection system does not detect any of the African Americans in the office.

Which is itself a reference to real-life results involving motion detection/computer vision/image processing (this was a particularly bad problem in the earlier days of the field, but still persists today to some extent).

I didn't say the process is useless. That remains to be seen. My point was that the events described in the article have stretched the meaning of Agile so far that it can now be used to describe any software development process at all, regardless of whether it actually conforms to the principles that originally inspired Agile.

Agile can now mean anything. Therefore it means nothing.

The new IBM process won't be entirely useless. It will likely be very expensive for IBM consulting customers and slightly damaging to the souls of the software professionals required to use it. It will be the IBM development process, with a new set of names and jargon terms.

Imagine, for example, that the new development process is called Celeriflex. All the SV startups jump on Celeriflex like fleamen on a Belmont. They crank out awesome software and make huge exits. Some of those startup veterans use their payout to create consultancies to teach Celeriflex to other software businesses. They make money hand over fist. Then businesses whose primary product is not software notice. Their management hears good things about Celeriflex and orders the CTO/CIO to implement it. Eventually, the largest companies for whom software is a significant source of revenue keep doing what they have been doing for decades and use words culled from Celeriflex consultant documentation to describe it. At that point, Celeriflex is dead. The SV startups are using Speedcode now...

Okay, let's not use a theft-based analogy then. Climbing into empty houses through open windows and sleeping in people's beds isn't stealing, it's infringing.

Since that is so easy and convenient, why would anybody use the products of the old-fashioned 'hotel' industry? And with new players like AirBnB enabling bed providers to monetize their beds so much more easily, really there's no excuse for bed providers to restrict access to their beds. The market has spoken - beds are freely available for anybody, and anybody who is hanging on to the old-fashioned model of bed-rights management needs to get with the times.

I know it is true, and I know you probably know people who work(ed) there, and they'll confirm it. This isn't because there aren't good security people who want to do the right thing, it's because management and PR doesn't support it.

You'll notice that the recent TLS bulletins were the only ones to credit an internal finder. There's a reason for that, and it's not because MS people aren't finding vulns in their own software.
I started working as a sysadmin about two years ago, and one of the first things I did was set up Nagios to monitor our company network and devices. I was only dimly aware of the Nagios/Icinga split, and since Nagios never gave me any trouble, I have not given it much thought since.

But now I wonder - is there any technical reason to choose one over the other?

I worked at IBM for 5 years, and some of the teams I was on used "agile" development methods. In that they used the names, but our "scrums" were an hour long, in a meeting room, with everyone bringing their laptop. Management more than 1 level up expected waterfall-like development, so it all just meshed badly.

I really don't hold out much hope that this is going to work out that well without a whole bunch of training and people actually wanting it.

Lastly, this is just my opinion, but I don't want my web server to have a Markdown interpreter in it. That's not a job for the web server. It's very easy to put a very simple index file in front of Markdown to provide that functionality.

It could be extended to support other kinds of Markdown. Feel free to open an issue and suggest it!

Caddy does have basic reverse proxy functionality. Something like what you're suggesting could be `proxy / localhost:8005` - but this middleware will need more attention.
This was the case in my few months there. We had "sprints" and "stories" but 75% of all the stories in every sprint would just get pushed to the next sprint with no thought behind it. Part of that was because our stories themselves were so broad and were worked in a long term waterfall manner. Our standups were just everyone falling asleep while each person took their turn saying what they did the previous day. If someone did actually have impediments or useful information to convey, most did not pay attention enough to notice. And finally, we didn't have retrospectives, which are a great time to be able to reflect on how to improve as a team and prevent issues in the future.

A lot of this came down to the people, but it didn't help that there was no leadership to help steer it in a good direction or notice the underlying issues. Story points were fabricated to help give good spreadsheets and charts to upper management, which led to us working insane overtime before our release due to how behind we were.

This is just one anecdote though, and I know there were other departments much better off than mine was. It was enough for me to want to get out though after I realized how difficult it was to get any change in place.
The main reason is to fund the office as it's one of the few agencies that is 100% funded by fees (versus appropriations). So much so that Congress often skims money from the fees they collect. The fact that the office is sort of set up like a traditional corp. (i.e., earning revenue, paying salaries, getting "taxed" by Congress) colors a lot of discussion on how the office operates, in my opinion. Also, the percentage of patents that are actually asserted in court is extremely small compared to the number of issued patents.

I work for small business owners, to say their "advertising" is primarily to "manipulate people into buying particular things" would be a very skewed characterization.

Characterizations like that show a bias, and while they may "feel right" when talking about large brands, when you realize your local market, or restaurant wants to "advertise" or promote a special - suddenly advertising doesn't seem all that evil.

Inside their comment, I think there is a point that's pretty interesting: New buzzwords will be formed because there are a lot of shops that simply won't do something the way that IBM or (Microsoft for that matter) does. In other words, there are a lot of shops where if the conversation contains "...the way Microsoft organizes" or "...the way IBM plans their projects" it will immediately be a no-go, but if you call the same process "underscore projecting" and say a lot of startups use it, it will be considered.
It's a less restrictive version of the idea on Android Wear as well. Most apps do currently require your phone to be present, but the watch itself is generally running a bit more autonomously than the Apple Watch is. The phone can actually just send data to the watch, and the watch deals with it. It's not just blitting a computed image onto the screen (which is an exaggeration of the Apple model, but it's closer to that with Apple than Android currently). You have access to the sensors on Wear. You can create custom layouts.

Hello there!
First of all, I really appreciated your article. I'm not really into this world (yet), but I think you have been able to underline differences between the two accelerators, and letting the reader "choose" which one would fit better, based on their own situation. Again, well done.

Question time: how "ready" should I be to consider to apply to an accelerator?
To be more clear: is it possible to apply with a general idea and the founders? Or is advisable to apply with a well-made business plan?
There is difference in this matter when applying to one or another?
Consider this being asked from an "outsider" of the startup world willing to get aboard.

Many thanks in advance!

I have enormous respect for Brunello, his process, and their product. I purchased a used pair of Brunello loafers for $200USD (Retail for ~ $999) and many years later they continue to perform at the highest quality even after daily use -- and on top of that have stayed fashionable.

Cucinelli seems focus on the entire dynamic of what a product is; considering everything from how it was made, what it is made of, how it is sold, and how long it lasts long after it is purchased. This type of care for the ecosystem of commerce is so incredibly rare I can't help but applaud the man and what he and his workers have accomplished. But what he has truly done is make a product that is an icon -- something to be purchased for all those dynamics and maintains its value even for the 2nd and 3rd owner.

"There are some companies that give a lot of their money to charity. I’m not interested in that. Because first of all I want to see how they make their profit in the process. It is meaningless that they make a huge profit and then do charity."

It's definitely that in part, I would have to agree with you. This generation of gamer grew up with the relatively easy ability to pirate games instead of pay for them and steam sales on PC. So there is some resistance to paying for it even if it's not outspoken. My own personal reasoning (now that paying for a game isn't saving weeks of allowance) relies more on resistance to change on the way things have always been, with a bit of skepticism on the way they are monetizing the mods with the split amount.

After playing multiple games by Bethesda that have been relatively unpolished compared to what the modding community has done, I see the move as a cash grab by Bethesda in releasing a game and cashing in on people who just want the game to be more playable by selling the mods to other players as free generated DLC content. I understand that the modders have a lot of a headstart on the work as well, given to them by Bethesda, which is why I wouldn't support modders selling mods on their own. I think the free + donate model has worked very successfully in the past in both motivating and (I assume, but can't be sure in generalizations) compensation.

My last note on the issue is that at the very least this move should not be implemented on a fully developed modding ecosystem where the mods have already intertwined to a degree that this causes a single person decisions to need to be made by multiple mod developers. With mods using other mods, it would be acceptable to have to buy the used mod if that was a design decision by the original modder, but that information was not present as the ecosystem developed and I think it introduces a great deal of harm. As a source I cite all of the trauma that Nexus experienced in the wake of this system being released.

I guess I'm just slow, but I don't understand how this isn't just moving the toothpaste around the tube, so to speak. You start out with an impure `println` and replace it with an impure `Pure.println`.

edit: I was somewhat inaccurate here - as the name implies, `Pure.println` is pure, but it returns a thunk which is not. That's what I'm talking about, I have trouble understanding how this isn't just a little dance you do to pretend your code isn't impure.

At reading, one may be indeed hit at first by the most significant digit ('8' in your last example) that is somewhat useful, but the reader can't easily figure out digit's order of magnitude without reading the entire number. There's actually more. The reader can't spell the number right away, as it has to be read entirely and compiled in mind first. This compilation involves counting all digits in the given number to determine the number's size, then starting again by interpreting and spelling accordingly in its order each digit and its designation. This double-pass doesn't appear that efficient to me. On the other hand, if the number from your last example would be written backwards (452'392'8), its reading and interpretation would come efficiently in one pass ("four fifty and two hundred, three ninety and two hundred thousand, and eight million"). Even when all we're interested in would be the most significant digit and its order of magnitude, that would still be faster to determine (i.e. again, in one pass).
Nagios is great, but Icinga fixed some serious issues with it that were long-standing. At least in the beginning, the reason for the fork was extremely clear, and there was no doubt the fork made sense. As of right now, I'm not so sure there's any huge advantage of Icinga 1.x over Nagios 3.x, other than a better UI.

However, Icinga2 and icingaweb2 are both coming along very nicely. In a position I just recently left, I was using Icinga2 in production, and I really loved it for its performance and clustering capabilities. It really blows Nagios out of the water in those aspects. When you configure the active/passive "master" nodes in a datacenter, the checks get split between the two nodes with only one updating the DB (per the docs), and in practice, this seemed to keep the load very low for us, even with over 20,000 checks polling at least once per minute.

I realize the story is more about history than a direct comparison between Icinga 1.x and Nagios, but I just wanted to share our experience with anyone who may be considering the two options - don't forget to consider Icinga2!

It should also be noted that I still really love Nagios, and the later versions have resolved at least some of the issues we've had with it in the past.
> But dbus isn't very UNIX-y.

This is what I call the "but muh unix" argument, beloved of neckbeards and often invoked against systemd as wellas kdbus.

Sorry to say, but "does this feature make application developers happy" trumps "muh unix" when considering whether to add something to the kernel. Any inversion of this priority is a recipe for Microsoft to eat your lunch, as they did in the early 90s when Windows NT overtook commercial Unix in the enterprise space. (Monopoly schmonopoly: Windows was the better platform. It was easy to develop for and relatively uniform across desktop and server deployments.)

The Unix philosophy has proven inadequate to meet the needs of real-world software integration: what's needed is the COM philosophy, wherein services register themselves under globally named endpoints and present typed structured discoverable APIs. D-bus provides that for Linux and no one so far has presented a better solution.

As for Plan 9... yes, that's what you get when you apply the Unix philosophy in the extreme. Note that the UX for Plan 9 sucks, and if you look at the Plan 9 developer community it's a) very small and b) packed with the pathologically neckbearded.
Randomizing should be easy, right?
By the way, this "natural" way of writing numbers comes unchanged from right-to-left writing system of Arabic. They naturally read 1234 starting from the lowest significant digit (here, '4').

I'd love to hear how you rationalize a tax requiring "impossible knowledge to implement". Taxes are a pretty universal way to disincentive economic behavior, the only question seems to be what tax rate to add. But, that seems easily solved.

For example, a carbon tax obviates the need for market pricing, simply set your target, e.g. 20% reduction in carbon use in 10 years, and fix carbon tax increases/decreases tied to that target, so that if you fall behind reaching that target a tax rate increase automatically kicks in for the next year.

Downvotes are one thing, but I don't think of that as astroturfing. On reddit, I much more frequently question the content of actual comments. Especially when it comes to posts regarding high budget entertainment, like for movie trailers and games and the like. There's just too many blandly positive short comments... I don't get the impression that happens on HN nearly as much.
I've already started to do this for annoying environments to replicate, such as cross compiling applications. We simply have a master Dockerfile that creates an image that everyone on the team can share.

The cross compile environment can then either be started via a Makefile, or you can run it interactively if you want to use gdbserver or something. Also makes it easy to have a build server compile the binaries on a code push.

Nowadays, honestly I think unless your founding team consists of superstars, getting in with just a general idea would be almost impossible.
I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling that these watches aren't all that smart. It sounds like the portable pocket computer we already bought does all the heavy lifting, while the smartwatch itself functions as a secondary display?

I never gave them much thought until just now, but learning that really saps some of the novelty away from the whole thing for me.

I can't imagine a good reason to own a watch in 2015 and learning they're only functional when paired with a phone reinforces that belief.
