You can try, but every study I've seen has found that men are favored in contested custody proceedings.

Its true that women are more likely to end up with custody, but that appears to because they are vastly more likely to seek custody.
I think we should repeal the civil forfeiture laws, but the article plays a little fast and loose with the law.

In a civil forfeiture, the government has the burden to show probable cause for the forfeiture, and in a contested proceeding has the burden to show that the assets are subject to forfeiture by a preponderance of the evidence.

The burden of proof does rest on the property owner for invoking the "innocent owner" defense, but that is narrower than it sounds. That defense is involved when, e.g. someone buys property with money that was given to them by someone who obtained it through illegal activity. The government still has to establish the money came from illegal activity, but the owner can assert that they did not know about and did not consent to the illegal activity.

The article starts with the current note - agile as it was preached was never actually achieved, and most companies and practioners are doing it "wrong" (for varying degrees of wrong).

But then it goes downhill with proposing yet another model that will people will try to adopt verbatim, and again, experience failure to implement.

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.

What really killed agile fwiw, where the consultants, going from development team to team, peddling false hope, snake oil, and tedious time zapping process that people learnt to game rather than actually deliver.

Of course, someone will pop up saying agile is awesome, they love the daily scrums, the project is fab, the sky is blue, etc. Question is: can it be better?
An even simpler description of the root cause: a circular buffer used as a FIFO was not treated as being circular - the modulus operation for indices was omitted, allowing them to run off the end and not wrap back to the beginning as they should.

Maybe this could be a good thing in the future for simple prototyping (to show off to investors, not a general public kind of thing) but the bubble.is pricing advertises "Grow" "Scale" and "Flourish" plans for $460, $1700, and $4200 respectively.[1] I would definitely wait until the architecture here becomes more advanced before trusting them with your entire app.

I noticed their architecture was built on JS. JS is a pain in the butt when it comes to sandboxing. Either you run multiple contexts in a V8 engine that can crash each other if one OOMs, or you start up a new process for every instance. Single-threadedness is also not fun to deal with, in terms of efficiency.

(Yes, I've explored building a service like this on Node.js. I summarily discovered that it's probably not the best plan.)

my question is, what happen is eventually some tools can be useful for overcoming the complexity introduced by microservices (e.g. CoreOS, docker, kubernetes, Netflix OS technology, etc), what could be the argument for not using them instead big monoliths?
I went to bubble.is and every link I clicked asked if I was sure I wanted to leave the page without saving my changes.
I've done both an encoded data name scheme (what this is) and the cattle method (srv0001, srv0002, etc etc). SRV can even encode a bit of information like datacenter location. Avoid rack/row because stuff gets moved around. Airport codes are popular to distinguish datacenters.

As far as encoded name schemes go, and even with the cattle method, I like the physical/virtual distinction. It lets me know whether I can iLO/IPMI/drac or need to open vSphere/equivalent for when SSH doesn't fix everything.

Where I don't like encoded schemes is because your departments and users inevitably want to change the environment or service. Experimental/test servers tend to feature creep into production because "it works, let's just promote and build a new test box". Also you end up with weird combo servers with multiple services because "it's only this one thing and we can't wait for a new box just for it". So now the web server isn't just a web server or an app server.

My opinion is to keep naming however you're naming. I'd consider dropping the environment and most likely department. Encode that into the CNAME, or keep another database of ownership.

This article is pretty good on naming schemes: https://mnx.io/blog/a-proper-server-naming-scheme/
> Would using the plugin be less acceptable if the paywall were harder to get around?

I don't see the plugin as getting around their paywall. I see it as getting around moronic web development.

For example, if a site has unbelievably intrusive advertising and I install an ad blocker. Or a site pops up a register for our newsletter modal and it's blocking the content and there's no way to close it ... so I open up the console and remove the dom node entirely so I can see the article.

In other words, stupid shit that 99.9% of people don't know how to get around, but a web developer can get around in a few seconds.

That's not hacking or bypassing anything, that's just moronic web development.

If you want to put up a paywall, that's fine. A wall is a wall. If you make a hole in the wall on purpose and people walk through that hole, don't blame the people ... blame the wall.

I think you just landed on the "Free" version of future electronic devices. Imagine a terrible reality, not unlike today's videogame market, where every device, charger, lamp, TV, and box fan comes in "Free" and "Pay" versions - most manufacturers will have a mail back program, so you can return a broken "Free" item for a brand-new "Free" item. The "Free" items will mine Bitcoins and return all profit to the manufacturer.

Meanwhile "Pay" items will still be widely available from numerous online vendors. These devices will require you to enter your personal Bitcoin address, so they can credit you with their mining.

And thus the world will continue to be dominated by Whales, so named for the size of their bank accounts. The rich will be able to keep the entirety of their revenue, while the poor must subsist not only on the charity of the State, but also the charity of the Corporation.

The Ron Swanson character is humorous specifically because it pokes fun at the traditional male role by exaggerating it to an extreme.

All of the editing tools are tuned for desktop processors, and there's not amazing parallelism to be had with most compilations (and incremental compilations won't see them at all).

I regularly run 'make -j32' on a machine, compilation of well-structured projects is embarrassingly parallel. Incremental compilation is a fair point, but may not always work in template-heavy codebases that are restricted to C++03 (no extern template).
I got a good laugh out of this- definitely very creative and a good idea. I'd just be careful about the whole "please don't sue us" line. Companies like Twitter take these things very seriously.

What if somebody makes a joke on the Internet and then I'm detained at the airport and interrogated whether I have fought in the Ukraine?

The best alternative to a board is bootstrapping your company.

You likely do know better and can seek advice anytime you like, but giving up votes and your destiny is another story.

I'm sure some can be fantastic, of course, if you get the right mentor situation and they are well connected and sharp (and correct, believing in you, caring about you, not motivated by investment, etc...).
Get a backpack, a tent, some supplies and go hiking. It costs next to nothing, can be done almost anywhere, gives mind clearing exercise, and gives you concrete and solvable problems to focus on.

Both asset forfeiture and taxation are taking, but they are not "theft" because that is taking in violation of law. Lawful takings cannot be theft by definition. "Theft" is also not a concept that exists in the world outside our legal books and dictionaries. In the state of nature, everything is mine that I can take for myself.
> IMO it shows how unprofessional they are.

This a million times. For lack of a better term, I find a lot of managers refuse to work with anyone but a "Uncle Tom" geek who will just say yes to everything and smile politely and never, ever correct bad ideas or wrongful assumptions. This leads to bad implementations, impossible requirements, unrealistic deadlines, bullshitting, and other issues people have to deal with.

If you can't work with the guy who occasionally says, "Whoa this is a bad practice for reasons x, y, and z," then that says a lot about how broken that culture is and not a lot about that person.
"Software is hard, people are hard"

^ this. Agile is only a set of principles set out to help write flexible software. It in no way made the actual writing of software, the gathering of requirements, the effort of design, easier; it simply gave us a process to follow that could potentially help avoid tedious re-writes. At the end of the day it's up to the people to put in the effort to make good software
I kinda have an issue with the openning statement on the site. It's almost a threat, saying that most programmers will lose their jobs and have to do other things.

It's an interesting concept, but the slowness and buginess of the site only show why that will never happen.

It's good at creating prototypes/static interfaces, but bubble.is most likely will not be the future of programming for the web.

Most sites rely on a complete infrastructure of networks, and unless you can provide a really solid PaaS creator for this, and charge money for the actual infrastructure, most users wont take it seriously. Personally I probably wont use it, but it might be nice for some people on Shark Tank :)
> It was not feminism that painted the picture of the man as incompetent parent.

No, but it is the reason that this is the modern trope men are reduced to in modern media. Matt Groening has gone on the record saying that the reason he created Homer and Bart as incompetent / lovable / stupid / trouble makers, and Lisa / Marge as competent, intelligent role models, is because at the time the series was coming out he felt that was a good way to avoid getting negative publicity for his new series from various feminist groups around the country. No one was going to protest a stupid male role model, or a trouble making male kid, but making the women the same way might, and making them the positive characters would win his show support from feminist groups. Most modern sitcoms follow this same format for the same reason.

After looking through their data a little, I'm curious: who is paying all these bribes[1]?

7% of people who interacted with the police report paying a bribe to them? 11% for education I could believe, but 15% to the judiciary, 17% to "land services"?

Maybe I just need to step my bribe game up, but that seems significantly higher than I would have expected.

"Private"?
Why does Bubble.is make me confirm every single time I try to navigate to another one of its pages? Extremely annoying, and makes me think the product doesn't actually work.
Two problems for me:
[1] What bothers me is that people writing the manifesto admit that they are wrong, and they start the whole thing in the same way all over again. All over again!

[2] I have also seen practitioners and consultants that never did a single-frickin-project in their short lifetime, but preaching success. That's how you get wrong - theory and practice are often 2 very different things. And when the shit hits the fan, people say "you are doing the agile wrong". Alright.. teach me master, and admit how wrong you were 14 years ago.
p.s. Apologies for the rant.
You expect someone else to fight your battles? Of course nobody cares. You have to make them care. It takes a lot of effort to get a message heard by people, to make any kind of change. A lot of work, and a lot of humiliation. If you don't want to do it, fine, but, as the (I think) Chinese saying says, the one who does not think it can be done should not be interrupting those doing it. (Well, not much is being done in this particular case, but I like the saying...)
And the "threat of prison" is some of the dumbest hyperbole out of the antitax crowd--for nearly all cases, they'll simply garnish your wages, or something equally non-freedom-constraining.

Oh they regularly send people to prison for failing to pay taxes. Does the name Wesley Snipes ring a bell? They sent him to prison for three years on three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns, even after he brought a check to court for the outstanding balance.

On a basic level, that's what all laws are. They are a series of escalating punishments and threats that end soon after "then, we'll send guys with guns to take you to prison".
I'm talking relative, you're showing absolute. Oh, I see I edited that out of my previous comment.

Previously, I said to try an experiment using multiple accounts where you post comments with a swear word and slightly censored swearing, versus just posting uncensored swearing and nothing else different. You'll quickly see the relative difference in the community's reaction.
I'll wait until the site is responding faster/not erroring to be sure but if it's really as it appears, this is amazing. Attractive customizable design is one thing, but real logins, real graph relationships, real feeds, real filtering for mentions, user photo uploads, potentially real messaging, all without any coding would be (is?) really amazing and covers 99% of all the site creations any laymen could want.

It doesn't need to scale especially well for the vast majority of customers. If your first reaction is "this doesn't scale" or "this doesn't eliminate programmers" you have to be a professional point-misser. I'd want to see how intuitive the interface for making this is but it's cool stuff, and as it matures I'm sure will only get more interesting.

Theft has a very specific definition:

noun 1. the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another.

So to claim X is theft, you are claiming that it is wrongful; i.e. evil.

It is very hard to have a full-time permanent contractor not be considered an employee under the IRS. You have to be very strict about your dealings with the contractor and your interaction with them on a day to day basis. Most people get away with 1099ing their contractors.

In my opinion, if you want to learn how to be a software engineer you should take a degree in Software Engineering (which is a natural descendent of Electrical Engineering). If you want to be a computer scientist then do a degree in Computer Science (a natural descendent of mathematics). The problem is that the courses in many universities are misleadingly named.
You may be right about that, but there are plenty of societies worldwide that have not had the demonization of all things male, which show a similar pattern in suicides.

The only exceptions seem to be Bangladesh and China.
This indicates that, whilst it would be nice to have a simple one-size fits all reason for male suicides pretty much globally being higher than female, the picture is somewhat more complex than "We have been demonizing all things male".

Oh now wait a sec there. I'm not sure you and I are on the same wavelength here.

Just to contextualize this. I just got done watching the pilot episodes of bee and puppycat [1], I was feeling very very mellow at the time of writing. It's hard to believe that people perceived any aggressive posturing or tone there.

I'm always interested in improving my communication skills, and it seems my writing style has included a posture that I did not mean to convey! Can you tell me what contributed to the tone you detected? I simply am not able to detect it, and that may simply be because it's hard to critique you're own writing.

Most of the agile problems I've seen have been organizations cargo-culting things they've read, rather than trying to actually be dexterous. Big-A agile versus, well, "agile".

Scrum has been the largest offender - squashing discussion in standups, allowing scrum to erode QA process, rote meetings that take 50% of the week, story points and refusing to discuss timetables in hours when absolutely needed, reporting status multiple times, having others estimate tasks who are not doing those tasks, etc.

These organizations that have done so have been some of the least agile, and waterfall-esque organizations can even be better. (They planned up front well, they changed a few minor things in the middle maybe, but cut out the overhead).
