"Believe in free trade.." Fry and Laurie made me laugh about that line back in the day. YMMV.

If you believe in free trade you know that there are massive gains to be had from abolishing rubbish like corn subsidies period. Just do it, it's a win for any domestic economy. If you don't "believe in free trade" then you need this secret nonsense to pretend to abolish it then not actually do it. Again.

"Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made you.

But when thou make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just." -- Jesus Christ

Reading your comment made me think of Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft makes an operating system that runs on a distributed hardware ecosystem and they have the unenviable task of making the user with crappy (but cheap) hardware actually work. Apple is completely vertically integrated, so they can make sure everything works smoothly in their vision, but you only get Apple's vision.

Then you have Linux, which is a distributed software ecosystem on top of a distributed hardware ecosystem. UX is terrible, but flexibility is through the roof. You can pretty much have exactly what you want, although you might have to do parts of it yourself.

Because you're the one setting them up. Basically you run Amazon provided agent on an EC2 instance and ECS will see it as a host for ECS.

Also Amazon bills you for that EC2 instance as any other instance.

Personally I have hard time understanding the benefits of running docker in public cloud, you still run a VM you still pay for that VM. It just one extra abstraction layer which increases complexity of your infrastructure and also reduces performance.

I do understand the benefits of using containers in own data center, when you run it on bare hosts. There's simplicity and and lower costs (because you don't have VM) you have more resources which lets you run more containers than VMs on that host.
I'm not sure about non-Engineering roles, but this somewhat reminds me of my experience interviewing with Facebook for a Network Engineer position. Traditionally, Network Engineers are experienced with Vendor provided solutions (Juniper, Cisco, etc) and most interviews would cover experience implementing/supporting different types of architecture using these Vendor provided solutions. Facebook Engineering exemplified a refreshing new approach where Network Engineers are also Software Developers, and the focus/goal is to proactively correct and automate Network Engineer tasks. This means there is less time fighting fires, and more time building solutions. I found this to be an interesting new approach (for me anyway). So conceptually, I could see this working; an HR person that can write the company HR tools, marketing and sales people that write their own tools, etc.

Regular expressions are dangerously complex for validation code, it's too easy to overlook something or miss some context (like multiline mode, see also riffraff's comment).

The sad thing about all of these agreements is that they will most likely all be ratified by participating countries. Democracy has been watered down to; we can choose where we live, where we work and if we are lucky where we get buried when we die. That's it. People no longer get to influence the laws that govern them, society has been reduced down to: we pass these laws to protect you, we have your best interests at heart, because terrorism, because ISIS or some threat to our supposed freedom.

We all frown upon countries like China who restrict what their people can do online and offline, what they can say and do, but the ironic thing is these countries don't try to hide their actions and intents like the US and its corporate lobbyists do. We are told the TPP and all of those other agreements will be great for our countries, but will they?

The TPP specifically is a horrible piece of work. I understand free trade agreements are beneficial to keeping the economy going, but Australia (where I reside) ironically already has trade agreements with 8 of the 11 participating countries in the TPP anyway. Do we really need to sign a new agreement just to trade with 3 extra partners? We have a free healthcare system (free as in paid for using tax) where we get access to subsidised generic medicines and doctor visits that don't cost anything (like Canada) and under the TPP these freedoms thanks to corporate interests could be removed entirely.

The very fact that Australia has had to request exemption from our environment and healthcare system from being affected by the TPP and possible ISDS provisions is worrying in itself. If we even get these exemptions will be another matter entirely. Extending the duration under which pharmaceutical companies can block out generic medicines is a lose-lose situation for the poor.

I'm scared for what the future holds. I want my children to grow up having the same freedoms and benefits that I did, not having to pay exorbitant amounts of money to access medicines that would currently cost $10 or so under the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

For me it was GL-Quake. I was a huge fan of Quake and it ran (barely) on my 486. My cousin had a pentium 166 with an expensive graphics card (S3 - I think). Quake rendered using Open GL was a thing of beauty. That was my "I must upgrade my computer now" moment. I rarely play first person perspective games nowadays but back in the 90's Quake was my benchmark. I never really got into Half Life I loved Unreal but Quake was the real classic.

Define dead. Oracle and IBM continue to make a lot of money with their appservers in Fortune 500 companies. It fits their large bureaucracies well.

In the open source world things have been looking better. When Oracle dropped commercial support for GlassFish so did interest in GlassFish drop. Some of them migrated to WildFly / JBoss AS/EAP. TomEE has been the only new entry in recent years and from the outside it seems they are struggling to deliver a Java EE 7 (which is two years old) compliant server. Geronimo will be closed down soon. Resin is in its on niche.

The other question is how you define Java EE. If you're using JPA in Tomcat, is that Java EE? If you're using Bean Validation in Spring Boot, is that Java EE?

But then again, has there ever been a time when Java EE had a good rep even with Java developers or was it always something they had imposed on them by "enterprise architects"?

What are the things that—on your deathbed—you expect to regret?

Always found these philosophical shortcut tropes (eg. if you had just one day left...) amusing, but not particularly illuminating because they over-simplify life long achievements to mere regret-avoidance. If you are asking yourself that, then 1. You are privileged to be at that level on the Maslow hierarchy and 2. you already know the answer.

Embedded in your statements though are a lot of, in my opinion unfounded presuppositions. One, that through force of will, the relationships that you describe can be made positive - something forcefully unfounded in my experience. Two, that someone's startup, social or otherwise, is a trivial farce and there is no real added value - again see my previous statement about common misguided arguments.

My main distinction is that personal happiness is not a goal of mine, but rather a side benefit from accomplishing something that has lasting tangible value for more than just myself and the people I am immediately exposed to.

I believe it to be distasteful to use the death of someone whom this community has some connection to push a separate agenda. You can call out our priorities as being too short-sighted if you want, but this is a poor way to do it.

Does celebrating one particular life, and death, diminish the many others?

I really don't know. You could build the argument that building empathy for one tragic death exercises the muscle for empathizing with the countless statistics of death. Decentering the experience of human life from riches and visible success to intimately personal experience seems like it would emphasize, hey, maybe poor people's lives have value too.

I don't know if I buy that argument. I do know, though, that empathizing with Sheryl Sandberg doesn't make me feel guilty. I still find the intolerable death rate of children, and women, and men in many developing countries horrific. My heart ends up breaking for everyone who loses loved ones.
I definitely hear what you're saying. I often get annoyed and frustrated when the news media spend days obsessing about a handful of deaths in a train crash, for example, while ignoring the millions of people dying and suffering every year due to (relatively easily) preventable causes.

However, you have to remember what is considered news. Those millions of people who are suffering have been suffering for a long time. There's nothing new to report about it. We all know about it. We're willfully ignoring it. It's not news. It would be news if people in extremely poor countries weren't suffering.

And my reply:

I agree that there are complexities (as you state, “certain realities”) inherent in distributed systems. If there is one thing I believe we could both agree upon is that distributed systems increase the surface area of complexity exponentially when compared to the relatively simpler stack of clients communicating with one system.

Failures in a distributed environment must be expected. Embraced even, since treating them as “an exception” is tantamount to the proverbial ostrich poking its head into the sand.

However, failure in a distributed system does not necessitate “Frontend and UX folks” having to address failures which are not directly a result of client communication with the next tier. For example, should the UX be prepared to handle when the primary provider of a service is down and fail over to a secondary system? If the service is the one which the client is directly interacting with, then likely that makes sense.

But what of the case when the primary system has issues interacting with its collaborators? Such as its persistent store. Or a strategic partner providing required functionality for the workflow. Is it your position that this type of failure be handled by the UX?

Why wouldn’t a server maintain separation of concerns and only communicate to a client when its options have been exhausted? IOW, why assume what “the other side of the connection” is going to do in order to satisfy a request placed on it?

In summary, my position is that when the collaborators in a distributed system have a well defined software contracts (protocol, expectations, etc.) and all parties adhere to them (without assumptions in implementation), then this allows the system(s) involved to provide resilience in depth. However, the fashionable trend of replicating a PowerBuilder environment does not lend itself to these separation of concerns.

Foisting complexity to either end of the spectrum is where truly nasty problems are bred.

I always wonder why there wasn t more american student here in switzerland.

Both ETH and EPFL rank in the top 15 best technology university wordwide [1] and both are 500 USD / year for international students.

Swiss visa is also easier to get and is more flexible than other shengen country ones, you will not have to loose a day in police station for renewing every 6 months (as it is the case in france / germany). And if you ever want to staybhere you get a 5 year resident permit automaticly if you found a job and a salary comparable to american one for engineering job. [2]

Any plans for other languages and locales? I immediately noticed the temperature in F in the example about the weather in Lima.

I wonder how to take advantage of all of that if I don't know what people are going to ask. They're going to ask silly questions just for fun even if I have a vertical app (example: a mortgage calculator), because this is not a web form with constrained input fields but a free form input. The numbers I get into the answer could be unrelated to mortgages. Do you have examples of best practices? Maybe just write and speak the answer? Thanks.

That's only because you've drawn such tight boundaries around your definition of "distributed system" that "User Experience" is actually "API design".

The same principle applies: The system can't do everything magically, so it exposes some of that through the API. I mean, I doubt the GFS API is simply a read() and write() method that are always guaranteed to work instantly.

Instead you start posing the same kind of "Hey, I need you to make a decision here" tradeoffs that the author is talking about:

"Sometimes X will happen, if so you need to check Y and try to recover with Z, unless you didn't really care about W. If you don't want to recover and would rather discard, make sure you call Q, otherwise we'll eventually destroy it after T minutes."
Project-wise? - Most definitely! Globally? - Not common practice, but also preferred to avoid collisions.
I have only looked at the movie, because I avoid tools that work with only one provider, however this app doesn't seem to use that many OS X controls, and quite a lot of custom drawing (branches, editor, etc).

I think this could be done in Qt with QML, the most difficult problems would probably be the list that popped up on the right at one point and getting the scrollbars right. When it comes to graphics, animation and custom drawing Qt is very powerful, the issues that do pop up are with native controls.
Pretty common in Switzerland as well.

You should be a little careful. The odd thing about creative professionals, which includes most software developers, is that if you take Maslow's hierarchy of needs as the truth for the general population, for creative professionals this pyramid of needs is inverted.

You see, most creative professionals are profoundly unhappy people. This is because the equation for happiness is usually easy - your expectations have to be lower than your achievements. As a side note, this is why the renowned mid-life crisis happens, because that's the point in your life when you realize that many of your dreams are impossible.

But going back to creative professionals - our expectations are off the chart. It's because we've been taught that we can achieve anything, with our imagination being the limit and hard work being the currency. It's because many of us come from families of high achievers. Yes, we are profoundly unhappy because our expectations are usually much bigger than our achievements. This is the reason for why many of us are idealists, for why we want to change the world. Many of us are also atheists, but all of us want to achieve some form of immortality, therefore that's the reason for why many of us want to build things that are long lasting.

I used to say the same things as you did. You may not feel the above right now, I'm going to make the assumption that you're in your twenties, which means you've got the energy to be hopeful about the future. But take it from a 32 year old that is going through a mid-life crisis 10 years earlier (or maybe it's just a burnout episode, I don't know), but this youthful energy is going to dissipate and you're then going to feel the emptiness in your life. And I'm lucky, because I have a wife and a 4-year old whom I love very much and which represent my reason for getting up in the morning.
