I actually noticed it, I was at the erasmus university and the wifi there just ground to a halt. Then I switched to 4G but that wasn't much better. I thought it was very strange but this explains it.
Of course :) Let's not stop striving for improvement though.
The big problem is that as you scale down the relative importance of different forces change. Surface tension and viscosity become overwhelming strong compared to any sort of mechanical force. Anything like a gear or propeller is useless, rather you have to rely on self-generated chemical gradients. No one has yet developed these forms of motion and power using entirely nanoscale physical principles.
I share your skepticism about FreePop, and shall hang onto my GiffGaff sim with the £5 a month 'goodybag'. I'm your typical very low average monthly revenue customer.

On the NHS, I think we will need to disagree. Most people pay a prescription charge[1], to the extent that my own GP gives me a private prescription for the very low cost BP painkillers I use when my lower vertebrae are playing up as it is cheaper than paying the prescription charge.

The NHS is free at the point of need - I think most people in the UK know that it is paid for from general taxation, and very few people actively want to change that.

If I understand this correctly, it's a great idea. Can anyone comment if this is a new idea or are similar things available?

Someone has likened this to Loot Crate (a 'consumerism-as-a-service'/we send you things every month deal), but my impression is different: it's about RENTING the non-disposable items your child needs. Bottles, clothes, toys, car seats, age-appropriate toys, etc.

As I see it, you have you currently have two options:

1. Purchase nice new things for baby and then dispose of them when you don't need them. Expensive.
2. Trawl charity shops, eBay, etc. for second-hand bargains. Time consuming.

This provides a third option that will ideally be between the two price-wise, and add extra convenience and assurance (promises to quality-check and sterilise everything before sending it back out) over DIY second-hand. Is this about right?

Additional opportunities could include:
* Up-selling consumables - they could deliver nappies/formula
* Product testing - partner with manufacturers to get stock for free/cheap in return for evaluating their products. (Not sure how valuable or practical this is in practice.)
How do you see software engineers and computer scientists differentiated in the job market? It seems like there's a ton of bleed.

Nothing should be in the curriculum as a 'weed out'. Every class should justify itself in technical content. CS needs calculus absolutely, but for the ideas, not as a hurdle.

I agree that those features would make the analogy more accurate wrt taxation, but if that was the only important thing about an analogy, we wouldn't use analogies at all. (And it's quite possible that I shouldn't have used an analogy in this case.)

Urgh Jira. Jira symbolizes the entire problem. Issue and task tracking where the actual issue and tasks are 3 layers deep from the main interface, and graphs and burn down charts are front and centre. It's all carefully architected to appeal and sell to the managers who buy it, rather then the dev's who use it.

Contrast to something like GitHub, where code is front and center, and issues are a flat list and which has no other BS cluttering it up. Why? Because GitHub isn't selling a product to managers first - it's selling to to dev's first (via getting them in on open source).
Satisfying arbitrary constraints is often exponential (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem).

Agreed. The only reason I have ever downloaded and used a mobile app for ordering anything was for the mobile-only offer.
Just in case any entrepreneurs are reading this, I could live with that.

Such a package would also help my students a lot as well. We can probably find refurbished laptops from local recyclers the issue has always been the cost and faff factor of an Internet connection. A 3G mobile Internet pay as you go dongle is affordable now and again (£2 per 24 hour period, £4 for 3 days &c with low download caps for streaming content) but not all the time.

UK: I currently use a stunningly unreliable broadband connection which is around 6km from the local exchange, itself getting on in years but not scheduled for replacement. I have to pay a line rental and then a monthly fee for a broadband package on-top of that. About 2 miles from here they have fibre-to-cabinet and download speeds that max out the wifi card in my old Thinkpad (around 3Mbytes/sec).

A reliable half megabit even would be fine for remote desktop and email and wasting time on forums. I do big downloads from local cafe anyway because of the frustration factor.

While Linux certainly reinvents the wheel in some cases and NIHism exists everywhere, the syscall interface of an operating system is not the place where one can just lift BSD code and drop it in and expect it to work. This work needs to be done carefully in a Linux-specific way. The "NIH" approach is sort of a requirement.

> then nobody, like almost nobody would major in computer science.

OK. For the sake of argument, let's say that's true. What's the harm? Computer scientists aren't required to deliver babies or anything. Even if they were, do we have a shortage of them?

I feel that most of the interesting computer science should happen at the graduate level anyway. Take mathematics or software engineering as an undergrad, go back to do computer science once you know what you're getting into.

"then nobody, like almost nobody would major in computer science."

That's actually fine. If Computer Science goes more theory and math that would be a good thing. Its really time we start rethinking the vocational part and separating it out. Computer Science isn't a job training program.
If GROWS became popular, it would also be 'sloganized', branded and ruined. People would go to one-day intensive GROWS courses, get certified and then just do waterfall anyway - exactly what's happened to Scrum and everything else.

I find it slightly ironic that they (correctly) say they are no silver bullets, then suggest a silver bullet.
We basically can already work on the nano scale (see the nano-guitar for one famous example). The problem is that below a certain threshold you can't just "build X but with tinier parts" you need to completely re-think how it interacts with stuff there's not really much room for anything but gross chemical signal processing and no conventional mechanical parts at that size. The future at that scale is basically designer viruses being pumped out by designer cells --which we are working on-- but it's not easy.

What great 2D animation is left? Ghibli stopped producing features (or put it on hold) and Disney, and everybody else in the US moved to 3D

I was thoroughly impressed Knights of Sidionia on Netflix, and though it can match some feature animation, it is still far from Ghibli/Disney. And it isn't even 2D!

It started good and I thought it would get even better by creating a imaginary new method (even with the "TM" sign) to make fun of the craziness it was complaining about. At the end I didn't know if it was a joke or not but, sadly, it looks it's no joke (to the authors, at least).
Yeah, it looks like we have a "want a technical degree with a university seal on the diploma" situation.

> Even if they were not beneath him, an ideal man in patriarchy simply wouldn't be bothered with such menial tasks. This can only naturally produce such a trope (Emphasis mine)

I made an observation given keying words and phrases you used. I've no doubt your description came from an honestly held belief. Describing the ideal male in a patriarchal society to find raising a family or keeping a household to be menial and beneath him, indicates a viewpoint based on disrespecting women and considering them less, rather than an illogical division of family and social duties based on physical gender differences.

Your umbrage is misplaced.
There is absolutely no mathematical difference between 6% and 100% assessment rate, with a corresponding tax rate , it just a change in units.

The only relevant distinction would be if tax or assessment were curved as a function of actual value.

It appears this is less about agile and more about some new... thing... called GROWS:

http://growsmethod.com/

I can't figure out what it is, though. Then again, I never figured out what agile is either.
I'm noticing an increasing number of employers wanting to do reference checks very early in the process, some even before any interview. As I don't wish to impose on my references more than I absolutely have to, I tend to exclude these employers from my consideration.
Seems to be a demonstration of bubble.is, which looks like an app/web framework that requires no coding.
The idea of lowering the learning curve for website development has fascinated me for the past 10-ish years during my employment in the content management system industry. Every once in a while the idea that a tool can replace a developer surfaces, energizes a few people, and then falls flat for one reason or another. Yet it always resurfaces, likely due to the revolutionary nature of a successful solution.

The most common reason for failure I've seen seems to stem from the idea that a website requires a developer due to a website requiring massive amounts of meticulously written text in an esoteric language; by replacing this text with a graphical interface, a website no longer requires a developer who understands how to write this text. Experience leads me to believe a developer serves a much different purpose in building websites.

Consider applying this logic to another problem, such as writing. If one builds a tool allowing non-writers to drag correctly spelled words and punctuation onto a page, then a non-writer now has the ability to write gripping novels, impactful research papers, and influential editorials -- and they can do this without knowing how to spell. This doesn't make sense, of course, since writing a book requires a certain understanding of how to communicate effectively, an achievement demanding a much more clever tool.

Much like writing a book, writing software also demands a much more clever tool than a graphical, drag-and-drop interface. Developers understand more than how to write text in odd languages; they understand how to solve problems. Creating a graphical interface for building websites doesn't remove the necessity of a developer. On the contrary, it creates more jobs for more developers who specialize in building applications using a drag-and-drop interface.

Their hope was for you to advertise for them, they certainly couldn't have counted on it and they know that up front so it's perfectly ethical to cross it out and even they wouldn't disagree.
I also did Uberman, a few times, for a few weeks at a time. The first week was always rough but once you get beyond that I felt like I was Superman.

It didn't last forever though. For me I was young and trying to fit work in with going out at night and perfecting my social skills. But once I had a partner, I found myself missing us sleeping together at night, and the long night hours being productive a little lonely compared to cuddling in bed. So I gave it up.

Of course pilots are in a different world. I don't think that would be a great idea.
The main reason is that Play is really, really important to making us better humans, so humans really, really like to engage in the form of Play no matter what the content. One of the cultural challenges that humanity faces is making Play align with bigger goals -- for example, if you love carpentry, you might volunteer with a shelter building program for all the "wrong" reasons, but yet... houses get built and (probably most important) carpentry skill gets developed in humans.

I would agree that Eve might be a complete waste of time, along with soccer and chess and (my favorite) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, but I think the instinct to Play is very real and very productive, it should just be channeled intelligently.

I have to think that the whole GROWS thing is intended to be ironic.
The word is easy to misunderstand. I usually just avoid it entirely and discuss the symptoms instead. Most people agree that what patriarchy is is something that needs changing, so it's silly to stick with a word that so reliably muddies what should be an uncontroversial conversation.
I think they're trying to

1) Advertise the bubble.is framework

2) Say that developers/engineers/coders are now terribly obsolete and everything you ever wanted to build can be done with this framework, so pack your bags and go home, time to start digging ditches! /s

Is it April 1? Andy poo-talks Agile and then drops GROWS (TM) on us? You have got to be kidding me.

It's been mentioned on here a lot that if you have a skilled set of programmers on your team you probably don't need Agile. They are self-managed and tend to do the Right Thing (TM) on their own.

I have seen Agile work and when it does it's pretty fun. Things move along, issues are dealt with, and nobody panics when things get behind a little. Just move it to the next release.

I think the problem is that The Consultants sold Agile to enterprise dev shops and they really ate it up. I don't feel Agile works from the top-down but rather organically from the bottom-up. In fact I believe that is true for most programming methodologies like this.

And Scrum. Don't get me started on Scrum.

Okay, thank you very much, I'm staying home then.
My wife and I just had two kids, about 14 months apart.

The essentials we missed out on must have been unknown unknowns for us. We bought almost all of our clothes second hand (there are thriving brick and mortar stores that sell second hand infant/toddler clothes). Outside of hospital costs the expensive part of having a baby isn't all that expensive, actually.

If I had a service that picked up the things I already paid for, I'd have to repurchase things when we had baby #2. That's not a selling point. (When clothes don't fit, or are incorrect gender, they can be used for credit at used clothes stores.)
Does it also support ad placement? The "10x faster" is otherwise meaningless, since much of the weight of content on those partner sites undoubtedly comes from loading ads.

Software is hard, people are hard, so the idea should be to have as little process as possible. Most of it exists as arse-covering material anyway.

People are soft and squishy. Too much rigid process pevents taking advantage of that squishiness. A complete lack of process will result in those squishy humans just producing a gooey puddle.

For every piece of process:

* what problem does it solve?
* what side-effects does it have?
* are the side-effects good or bad, and how much so?
* are there alternative solutions with better side-effects?
But doesn't that framework need to be built by programmers? So in reality you still need developers or programmers to give the ability to non coders the ability to build something like this...unless I am missing something.
From the page:

> "It is to show the future of software development"

> "Because in 2020 most programmers won't be engineers"

> "They will be doctors, teachers, farmers, executives"

So this is a sophisticated version of Microsoft Access? Combined with Apple's Filemaker? For the web?
The best example of this happening successfully that I can think of, albeit in a much narrower scope, is the recent shift in game development. Game engines used to be super expensive to license and tricky to develop for, but just in the past year several of the biggest game engines have become open for anyone to use, and have also made their development tools work really well for people who don't write code. We're not quite at the point where you can make elaborate games just by dragging and dropping, but a lot of serious effort is being put into it. And as advances are being made, we're quickly growing the potential number of developers out there.

This change doesn't necessarily mean there will be much more higher quality content on a global scale, but it will definitely increase the amount of content and shift consumption into narrower scopes by providing many specialized solution rather than one monolith solution for the problems out there.
I think that I left software development just as these schemes where becoming en vogue.

Being on the outside of the industry and reading about all of these acronyms of "how to succeed with great apes" ... it reminds me of being in middle school band. It smells like how first chair worked to get all of us clarinets to practice more and to try to out do each other performance-wise.

It works.

But eventually it changes from first chair to "first chair". And then it became, iirc, a lighting-rod for interpersonal problems amongst the single-reeds that became disruptive.

I suppose that I think of these schemes as MBA-encoded first chair politics. They work while the meta-game is immature. But as soon as players get to see the carrot for what it is ... it is all about a competition for who gets to hold the stick.
The computer scientist is theoretical. The software engineer is practical - like the difference between a mechanical engineer, and a mechanic?
You do not have to be a large company to get on the Xen pre-disclosure list.

http://www.xenproject.org/security-policy.html

----------

Public hosting providers;

Large-scale organisational users of Xen;

Vendors of Xen-based systems;

Distributors of operating systems with Xen support.

Here "provider", "vendor", and "distributor" is meant to include anyone who is making a genuine service, available to the public, whether for a fee or gratis. For projects providing a service for a fee, the rule of thumb of "genuine" is that you are offering services which people are purchasing. For gratis projects, the rule of thumb for "genuine" is measured in terms of the amount of time committed to providing the service. For instance, a software project which has 2-3 active developers, each of whom spend 3-4 hours per week doing development, is very likely to be accepted; whereas a project with a single developer who spends a few hours a month will most likey be rejected.

----------

Basically, if you provide a service to the public which uses Xen (Not restricted on size), or use Xen at large scale internally, you can get on the list. There are several small hosting providers that utilize Xen on that list.

Presumably if you use Xen at small scale internally you're less worried about security vulnerabilities as it is only your employees with root access to the machines - if external users have root access, you probably fall under one of the other definitions.
