My main problem with twitter and the stalled new user base.

1. The onboarding social experience is just hard. Finding relevant information of what I want is difficult I wish there was a pane of tweets regarding interests ie gaming, politics etc. Everything in one thread is mind numbing once you follow too many people.

2. Context - finding anything is difficult. I don't know what a trending hashtag is and the ones presented to me usually are gossip in nature for some reason?

3. Some people get so many @'s that they simply drop off the earth.

4. Whats the point of favoriting a tweet? I still don't get it.

5. Why is it so difficult to use the API since those changes in what 2012?

6. 140 characters is just so dang hard for me. I can understand a limit but just 140? I want just a little more space :(

Phillipe the Original in downtown Los Angeles has used these as long as I can remember. Phillipe is an old school sandwich place (they claim to have invented the "French dip"), not a Japanese establishment. I wonder now why they're using them: I had mistakenly assumed it was some pre-WWII Western custom that they kept alive for that authentic vintage feel.

SDN isn't required for k8s, what is required is that each Pod (group of containers) get it's own IP address, and that the IP address is routeable in the cluster. In many cases, the easiest way to achieve this is via an SDN, but it is also achievable by programming traditional routers.

The reason for wanting an IP address per pod is that it eliminates the need for port mangling, which dramatically simplifies wiring applications together.
I love that this keeps coming up now. I posted a potential solution in another story[0] which sounds like it won't work, but during the course of the thread I found out about the Single Subject Amendment PAC[1]. Their mission is to convene a Constitutional convention in order to limit bills in Congress to a single subject (eliminating riders, which is IMO more important than bill names) and, at least judging by the example they cite from Florida's state constitution[2] ensure that deceptive or meaningless rah-rah names cannot be used for bills.

As of January 2015, Florida was the first and only state so far to call for this amendment. Given that 41 state constitutions already have similar provisions in place and it takes only 37 to force a convention, it seems like the biggest stumbling block for national support may simply be a lack of public awareness that the solution's already got some momentum. Hence, this reply.

I don't think of IT as an outlier here because every IT department I've dealt with for a long while either contains programmers (usually in small/medium sized companies) or works closely with groups of programmers to keep their apps running. That's what I call devops, maybe I have the wrong definition though.

The argument about Ajax coming from Microsoft is a bit shallow. (Sorry that's all the effort I felt like putting into it at the moment.) Here are a couple other thoughts along the same vein:

1. Microsoft has done extensive research into many areas of tech that are just now blooming, such as mobile and tablet computing. They had a general purpose mobile OS with multiple third party app-stores before any of the modern industry players. They had tablets. I think the industry caught up to Microsoft while they were busy making money elsewhere.

2. Look how quickly Microsoft can pivot into doing the kinds of things that Amazon AWS, Google and Apple are doing. I think it's a testament to how "there" their platform is already.

> ...closed has a very large downside...

It can be a huge upside too. Developers have been making lots of money off of tightly controlled, closed software platforms like iOS and Windows for a long time.

The web is the only completely free open source "platform" that I can think of that is a huge hit with programmers and that people generally use. However, in my opinion - programming it sucks compared to the closed, native systems.

I saw it more as mentoring by brick. Op has already tried to talk to the guy, but he keeps making the same mistakes. Teaching by example may help him to remember that certain constructs lead to certain issues because he has seen the bug reports, and how to handle them.

Op is a contractor, not a life coach. I doubt his contract includes a large number of hours for mentoring. Maybe he could request them?
That doesn't seem to contradict anything I said. He was mad at the Army, so leaked a bunch of classified documents. To any extent which his leaks treat Iraqi police and/or U.S. forces detaining political prisoners, it is incidental -- the document dump was not discriminatory. Manning is not a whistleblower over events of illegal detention.

We already know that this wasn't Manning's motive for leaking docs anyway; he was mad that the Army did not respect his desires to live as a transsexual and that it disciplined him for tardiness and other job failures.

Red Hat does OK because they can sell support for an OS to enterprises. Selling support for a Git GUI to individual developers (even end user apps in general) is a bit harder.

Having just (involuntarily) switched to a Mac at work, I can also attest to the fact that Mac users tend towards impulse buying software... The fact that I have to buy software to get proper window management and a good window switcher makes me furious. App-only switching makes no sense to me. I just want to pull up the last window I was looking at, I don't want to have to think about whether it was in the current app group or not. Also, not allowing that to be customized makes no sense. The OS has all of the info needed, and the market for 3rd party apps shows there is a desire... but I guess I'm just 'holding it wrong'.

Most people in the office have spent $100 on software that just customizes the OS, not even considering the other dev tools that they purchase.

As much as I detest OS X, IF I were releasing desktop software for-pay, I would focus on OS X ($ per user) and Windows (kids & college students).
The parent comment, however, was actually relevant to the point being discussed (whether or not the ability to fork a free-as-in-speech but not free-as-in-beer program is a significant risk to one's business model).

P2P downloads would help cover some of the costs, but popular projects probably need a direct download link with load balancing as well.

If the project doesn't want to manage their own infrastructure, they're probably going to want a CDN or object storage provider. The most cost-friendly I've seen is OVH's RunAbove object storage, but I'd be interested to know if there is anything else comparable.
Scientists discover what’s killing the bees
I think it's non-obvious because it quickly gets into queuing theory. To simplify (and expose a flaw in the case[1]), assume a bank is open 9am to 5pm (8 hours). They'd expect to see 46(.4, but let's round) people in a day.

So there's two factors: flow rate and service time.

FLOW RATE:

Those people aren't coming in the door every 10.3 minutes: they're all coming in at 9:00 before work, 12:00 on their lunch breaks, or 4:45 right before closing. So you'd see 15-20 people all working through the doors within 10-20 minutes of each other. Ouch! This is modeled in queue theory as a Poisson distribution of arrival times.

SERVICE TIME:

Again, we're dealing with averages and distributions, but this time it's exponential. For every person who comes in with a check to deposit (let's say that takes 3m), there's another extreme case (let's say someone who wants to deposit $2,500 in Canadian pennies). As someone in the back of the line, you have to wait for all customers before you to be served before it's your turn.

All of a sudden you're in a 29-person line and waiting 5 hours. THAT math makes sense: 29 people × 10 minutes per person = 4.8 hours.

THE FLAW [1]

Of course, this queue model is continuous: the bank doesn't open or close (as most banks do). Moreover, arrival times are deterministic: you can model based on a distribution, but you could quickly measure expected arrival times.

Process efficiency and queue theory are interesting topics. My favorite case is Toyota's six sigma production line engineers helping a NYC food kitchen cut wait times from 90 minutes to 18 minutes with simple adjustments:

Yes. Does that change something? Red Hat finally acquiesced after 10 years.

If anything it's only further evidence for my argument.

The thing that always bugged me about differential equations when I encountered them in the MIT analog circuits course was that the professor said that the way to figure them out was to use "guesswork".

Users of the Google Cloud run Docker in VMs, since VMs are what the Google Cloud Platform sells.

(as does every public cloud provider [e.g. AWS])

For now, VMs are required to ensure a security barrier between different user's containers on the same physical machine. See some of Dan Walsh's posts on the subject (e.g. https://opensource.com/business/14/9/security-for-docker)
for more context.
IMO, the main difference is that Apples gives you more choice in the matter. I can still choose to not enable iCloud, and only sync my iPhone / iPad to my computer.

Only on their public cloud. For internal workloads, they run everything in containers. Mostly cgroups containers.
Experience Report:
We just went through the decision to build as a monolith or via microservices. The original decision was to go with microservices as the rest of our systems are designed that way.

As the time pressure mounted the microservices that communicated naturally combined. The driving force was just the cycle time. Testing and deploying microservices took longer. Mind you, not minutes vs hours. Just a few extra minutes makes a difference if you do it often enough.

One decision that give us confidence we will be able to split the system back out again was to use the stuartsierra/component library. By using DI we can be fairly confident we don't build dependencies we aren't aware of. We simply substitute a client that talks over the network in for the one that does the calculation locally.

We are still in the stabilization zone but have already started to split out services. Code velocity is the driving force for the splitting. Certain components are well understood and fairly robust other still young and poorly understood. We want to limit our ability to accidentally screw up something we have already gotten right. So the components that haven't changed in a while get spun out.

Red Hat has never made money because of its GPL software. People want to buy their support and consulting services, which Red Hat incidentally only offers for RHEL, necessitating users buy a license if they are to get the product they actually want. People who try to sell GPL software as a standalone product do not fare well.
> Bad programmers worry about code, good programmers worry about data structures?

Bingo. At this scale, all that matters are the bounds a service can guarantee. So long as it can comply to the bounds, the underlying algorithm (let along language, patterns, etc) doesn't matter.

Facebook's development of the HHVM is a perfect example of this—they took a nearly universally despised language (from an engineering perspective) and tooled it to fit into the necessary constraints. While crucial for explaining their stack, it's not in any way necessary for any of the individual nodes.

$100 million is not a "buying it for the team" kind of price. This is a pretty small shop and you can hire a lot of top-notch developers for $100 million.

They've gotta be expecting some kind of value out of this. The theory that Microsoft is trying to buy their way into being relevant in the mobile market seems pretty sound, especially based on other announcements, investments and acquisitions they've made recently.

But, yeah, you're probably right about options being a big part of the price, but Microsoft options are still pretty valuable. Almost as good as real money.
I still don't know what it means because the term is massively overloaded. Does it mean:

* a game with a huge development and production budget

* a good game

* a challenging game

* a game intended to be played competitively online

* a game that features adult themes like sex and violence

My guess is that it actually means the first, but game industry marketroids speak as if all these criteria were coterminous with one another.
GPL Encourages it doesn't discourage the charging of software. Please give me one source where they discourage charging fees for software.
