> No offense to foster parents, there is a great need to take kids in after REAL disasters

None taken, but you seem to think foster parents are somehow involved in the removal process. Here's how it really works:

-Phone rings
-Hello Mr. Foster, I have 3 siblings that I need to place. [Description of what they know]. Do you think this would be a good fit for your family?
-Yes
-Thank you. Can you pick them up at [location]?

I have no chance to say, "sorry, I believe you shouldn't have removed them. Please send them home." I mean, I can say that. But it wouldnt do any good. only the judge can make that call (in my state). I will, however, have an opportunity to expressy opinion based on how I feel after talking with the kid(s) over a period of time.

Obviously what is described in this article is a horrible situation. All I'm saying is that the way they describe the foster parent feeding the kids only cereal is most likely not hypocritical or even a problem. It's more likely them focusing on getting the kid to eat anything.

Except its in Michigan.
Here's the challenge faced by strong students. At a recent science fair, a strong 8th grader presented a simulation where you could fly a rocket around a plant, with the ability to change gravity, thrust, etc. I asked if he had explored the math (since this was a soluble problem.) The answer "The math is too difficult - I do it numerically, much easier that way."

There is great advantage in re-using the work of others, but in order to advance the frontiers of knowledge people truly need to understand the underlying assumptions and mathematics.
Ok yes, but ipv4 and NAT :( and firewalls.

drawterm for example requires three ports.

Still it would be nice to tear down the wall between local machines, and make a multi machine computer. There is a fancy name for this that I have forgotten.

Is there a place where 9p namespace enthusiasts can unite and change the world? It is silly that modern computers (using the term loosely) are so isolated from each other even though they are networked.
The whole git submodule thing is solely a manifest of all the git refs for compliant microservices. Lets just pretend that it is a text file, and call it the service manifest (why the submodule hate!) :)

The microservices are indeed "deployed" independently, based on the version (ref) as indicated in the service manifest.

> I would have separate repos and deploy scripts and then set the version number of each service to the build number which guarantees traceability and makes it easier for change management.

They have seperate repos, they have seperate "versions" (we use the git ref, which is constant).

As for why I use submodules, this is (in pseudo-bash) what a service deployment looks like:

git pull
git submodule update SERVICE_NAME
cd SERVICE_NAME
./start.sh

Of course, mathematics education in public schools is notoriously awful, though quality obviously varies across jurisdictions.

I can't see programming education faring better, especially considering that the emphasis is on "code". This is a horrible thing to put at the forefront, because it limits your view to the particular set of language constructs you use as opposed to broader properties of computer systems and computation. It is best to start by a rundown of high-level computer architecture (von Neumann and Harvard) so as to understand basic machine instructions and types, progressing into OS fundamentals (something like The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, though condensed), then briefly into compiler construction and language VMs, onto practical usage of a CLI shell, the various ways of representing resources and IPC, data structures and how to use them in forming basic services (like a message/event broker bus or publish-subscribe with named pipes and the file system under a standard interface/toolkit), build systems and so forth. Ideas and concepts with code on the side.

Obviously these are rushed examples, but the point is that code-centric computing education in public schools will probably backfire by creating people with just enough knowledge to have extremely warped views of software. Unless your goal is to turn kids into ALGOL monkeys who can't see beyond the mnemonics, I suppose.

You might say this would be too complex for public schools to implement. I agree, which is why it should stay out. Do it right or don't at all. Bashing out Java code alone is nowhere near as relevant as some people seem to think it is.
Same in Hackerspace Kraków. We stockpile crates of this stuff whenever our food budget allows. About half of the space hates it, but the other half can go through two crates in a single week.
>It's actually interesting why this idea is so totally wrong.

No it is not. You accept their claims of "mistakes" I see no evidence of that - how, exactly, do you leak a full table by accident? and this is too big a security hole to leave to hackers. Leak a bunch of table, shut down an entire country.
I would pay for this if I could use it for my team, preferably daily.
Agreed. Its an old story - warriors say we all need to think like warriors; merchants say we all should think like merchants; engineers are getting on that bandwagon.
Yes, I'd love to send a version of this to my team and ask them to fill it out on periodic basis. The choice to be anonymous would be good. I'm interested in the overall health of the team and to know if there are any negative outliers.

I've had a few conversations with other advocacy nonprofits who are not using https, even when they know they are being targeted for surveillance. It seems the biggest reason they don't switch is because their IT staff would bitch about the work and they don't want to sour the relationship between management and IT. Typical underfunded IT bureaucracy and politics.

What I've started to do is offer to play bad cop, and come in as a consultant and take the heat from IT when I propose the work to switch to https. That way, IT bitches about the consultant and not management.

This is a really good way to think about it.

On one hand, companies that espouse the idea that users = value, with no monetization, are probably in line for a correction.

But on the other hand, companies that actually change the way the world will look in 10-50 years (medical technology, energy technology, better AI) are probably going to be worth a lot more once they all get out of their relative beta periods.
I'm at month 3 of the EF process. Happy to answer any questions :-)
It's not for the sake of having something new. New technologies do often provide obvious benefits. It's the cost of a new version (both in software development and reorganization of processes) that may be too high to justify these benefits.
How about a check box to opt-out of being anonymous? Some team members might want to let their manager know their individual stats.

You should do that though: it would allow us to know the complete cost of the accident so we can allocate the correct number of resources to preventing it.
I too like the idea, and am of two minds of this.

In the hands of individuals it's a good tracking tool: I wasn't really aware that I was... maybe not as happy at work as I would have liked until I took this week's survey. I'm interested in the historic data too, after I put a couple of data points in there.

In the hands of Management, let's just say I'm very wary. Management can use this data to improve a bad situation, ("You're unhappy because we schedule meetings every day at 3 and you can't get work done? Ok, let's stop doing that"). OR more likely, especially as companies grow bigger, can just make the situation worse: ("Let's have an awkward conversation about feelings and why you're not hyper happy this week / I'll blow smoke up your rear so you'll feel better, but those meetings at 3? Yeah, not ever going to change")

Ask me about my week on Friday - my answer depends entirely on what I'm doing that night. Out with the guys - it was a great week! Going home to do laundry - the week sucked. Way too many confounding variables in an emotional survey like this?

Its been shown in study after study, that people's response to surveys is extremely prone to suggestibility and situation. I remember a racial stereotyping survey with a movie afterward, where people who were told the movie was cancelled recorded as far less tolerant.

I don't think you can teach useful levels of Critical Thinking without a solid understanding of Math, Science, and Human behavior. But, programming can also help people think more deeply about problems.

There is this huge realization that computers and by extension reality does not care about what's in your head only what is. You can argue that Math has similar levels of precision, but once people start getting partial credit some of that harshness is lost.

That said, I don't think school should overly focus on directly useful skills or even what people studied in the past. How many lifetimes of highschool sudents where wasted learning how to identify and name Regular Polyhedra?

Even if was a mistake, that doesn't suddenly make it OK. People make mistakes, yeah. But this isn't a simple mistake, in fact this incident consists of multiple mistakes.

1) Someone wrote an incorrect config

2) They did not test it

3) They pushed it to production systems without testing it

4) They did not monitor their systems after pushing new configs

5) They took ages to fix the problem after it was detected.

That definitely isn't a single mistake.

I wouldn't expect Marathon to do service discovery for you, as I believe that is better left to something like Mesos-dns/Consul which marathon can supervise for you, and docker integration has been fairly simple.

In any case I found my marathon was not without issues, like failover causing every application to restart (I think this was fixed in 0.8.2), or the fact that marathon tends to use 2x as much RAM as Zookeeper or Mesos-Master (I run the 3 on the same node).

Have you seen the aurora apache project? It solves the same problems as marathon, and its creators claim it was built to handle stability. I originally chose marathon as JSON configuration over REST was easier to wrap my head around, but was this something you tried and how did it work for you?

Go for instance to http://www.gnu.org/ in the footer you'll see that copyright symbol. "Copyright © 1996...2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc"

The symbol it's about being explicit about who owns the copyright. The owner of the copyright can then decide which license to use. Or not use any. But choosing not to license doesn't make you lose the copyright nor makes the creation free(libre).
According to the Curry-Howard correspondence, all mathematical proofs are actually programs. This is normal. A proof is a series of steps, and if you unambiguously describe these steps, a computer will obviously be able to execute them. Furthermore, since Alonso Church successfully proposed a Turing-complete axiomatization based on just functions (even numbers are just functions), a computer program is clearly a mathematical object. An alternative axiomatization, Zermelo-Fraenkel, is based on sets. There is probably no better playground for sets than using a relational database. SQL is pretty much Zermelo-Fraenkel on steroids. In other words, large areas in math go into supporting the discipline of computer programming already. I do not believe that everybody would have to spend more time with areas in math for which no useful applications exist and that we are therefore unlikely to use in programs.
> Yup. This trend surprised me--the recent exponential growth of some of the toxic hate subreddits.

Another way to view it: Hateful reddits are a pressure release valve caused by political correctness.

The media's political correctness and current pushes for "diversity" in tech pretty much gut normal speech in favor of giving control to outsiders. I could elaborate.
What the next generation really needs is an economy where everyone can make a decent living with a modest effort, without having to desperately "outcompete" other job seekers. The US had that kind of economy at some point. Since we haven't lost any arcane secrets since then, it must be still achievable today.
It's not easy to go against the social grain.

Of course, the "startup castle" organizers might have gone against the grain in silly ways (tattoos?), but the mechanics is the same for any kind of going against the tastes of the public: media storm, your business or career ruined.

I wish our society was more tolerant.
Partial credit on a math problem is pretty analogous to still getting paid even though your code has bugs.
Of course your voice/fingerprint/face can be taken from you - with a camera, or fingerprint kit, or tape recorder. Then you're stuck - you can't change them. THAT's when you're screwed for life. The plastic ID can be changed at will, which is why its infinitely more appropriate for secure application. A good security key (password) should be changed often, which is of course impossible with biometrics.
I agree to an extent but it's also very scary that some knowledge can become so rare it's more diluted than homeopathic medicine.

In a world where very few know how some ubiquitous technology works, it's easy and cheap for some corp or govt to get a monopoly on that knowledge (just hire everyone). And with a monopoly on it, you can modify it to your liking and suddenly we're in a dystopian novel and nobody knows about it.

Yes, yes, tinfoil and all that. It's theoretical, but is it really that far off?
This seems good, but too limited. Why not make it so that wikipedia can only be served over HTTPS?

I remember when the UK censored wikipedia because one page had an image they considered child porn and they transparently redirected the domain to point to a proxy. If they only serve it over HTTP this should hopefully break such a scheme - which isn't the perfect solution (that would be the very painful death of those involved with the censorship), but at least it makes it clear what is happening.
I like it. The sliders are great, especially showing emotions in the spaces between states: "I'm not quite angry mad, but my :-| face is reasonably red".

I would like a free form text field, a more like, "What's bothering you this week?". Some things can't be expected / measured by sliders, but may be important to a person to note historically.
The record for obsolete computing probably goes to Sparkler Filters, which still uses an IBM 402 tabulator from 1948 for their accounting. This machine reads information from punch cards, adds it up, and prints reports. That wouldn't be too bad, except this tabulator is before the vacuum tube generation. It is electromechanical, using mechanical counter wheels for addition.

It is programmed by plugging dozens of wires into a control panel; each wire indicates something like this card column goes to this adder and that printer column. To change the program, you pull out the panel and replace it with a different panel. The "software library" consists of shelves of panels wired up for each task.

This system actually surprisingly sophisticated considering the lack of technology. For instance, there's a mechanical mechanism to suppress leading zeros in numbers. It can print text as well as numbers and supports three levels of subtotals as well as conditionals. It It's also fairly fast, processing 150 cards per minute.

I still am using express. Express 4 really solved some of the headaches of prior versions, and we have custom middleware we wrote and have good patterns for separation of routes/controllers and views. So it works well for us, and the community is the largest so support and help is easy to find.

hapi is good but to me requires more forethought on the application and usage etc. Not a bad thing at all, but sometimes during rapid iteration this just isn't possible so then you wind up redoing larger chunks then you would with say express. For a team that has more time or is more mature in process it would be good. Although in all fairness I have not researched the updates to hapi in quite a while so this may be a bit stale.

koa I never considered seriously when we were starting our projects so I can't comment.

One other you should look at depending on your needs is restify. I haven't used it yet for a production application, but do have it wired up in a experiment right now.
