You manager won't tell you directly, but they're asking you for crappier code, faster. Give them what they want but also cover yourself by sprinkling the codebase with TODOs. And in your updates on tasks when you're done mention areas for future work not yet done.

Most developers who churn out code tend to churn out bad code.

Also I hate to say it but politics and image is a large part of any job. My honest advice would just be to find a new job where you're appreciated.
Any comment on the comparison with Flask-AppBuilder https://github.com/dpgaspar/Flask-AppBuilder ? I've already made projects with the last one and I think is very nice. Are there any deep diferences, advantages or something I should take into account? e.g. github contributors ;)
> It has absolutely nothing to do with pragmatism or any such thing.

Yeah, well, for those of us who actually write programs, pragmatism matters a lot. If you're going to tell us how we should do it, but without anything like pragmatism, you're not going to get much of a hearing from the people you think you're trying to talk to.

Flask-AppBuilder is opinionated fork of the Flask-Admin. It follows similar conventions and uses some of the Flask-Admin code, but comes up with non-default skin and a little more batteries (like user management interface out of the box). If compared directly, existing Flask-Admin components are much more featureful that their counterparts in the Flask-AppBuilder.

Flask-AppBuilder API is not compatible with vanilla Flask-Admin APIs, so you won't be able to exchange components between them. And sure, you can build something similar to Flask-AppBuilder on top of Flask-Admin without changing its core. Or maybe someone already built it (like Flask app skeleton with built-in administrative interface).

I explained reasoning behind default Bootstrap skin and lack of built-in user management in the blog post.

I have nothing against forks, it is good to have multiple options to choose from.

They are using Adobe ColdFusion which prior to version 10 was using JRUN as the JVM. Adobe doesn't even support nor let you download version 9 and below anymore.

Granted there are a couple hiccups moving from 9 to 10 but mostly (and understandably) it involved if you were calling Java directly. For the most part its pretty painless to upgrade.
It's true. I shouldn't have used that word.

Perhaps what I should say is that orchestration seems like a plausible scenario to me. It seems to fit the facts and the outcome benefits both parties.

And Swift just happen to complain and withdraw her songs from Spotify, the main company Apple Music is competing against.

Regarding negativity risk. What risk? If you assume they planned this all along then how possibly this could be negative. The only risk they had if they would end up ignoring her.

This was a great PR stunt to make Apple look much better than a competitor and I'm afraid Swift was nothing more than a puppet there.

Do you really think that recording companies would allow Apple to just stream their music without any contracts in place? Or not including something so important as a part of it?
The Uber robotics talent raid of CMU took piratization to a logical extreme, http://www.theverge.com/transportation/2015/5/19/8622831/ube...

"They took all the guys that were working on vehicle autonomy — basically whole groups, whole teams of developers, commercialization specialists, all the guys that find grants and who were bringing the intellectual property," recalls a person who was there during the departures" ... Uber snatched up about 50 people from Carnegie Mellon, including many from its highest ranks.

... the deal includes a "transition period" that keeps some of the departed staffers around ... "The work of these employees is very incestuous and loose," says the same NREC insider. "They are given free rein of the facilities as part-time CMU employees, but there are absolutely no checks on the work that they are doing or what [intellectual property] they are taking. Is it for CMU? Is it for Uber? None of us here know."

Edit: could CMU have gotten better IP licensing terms and ROI for the University, if they had spun out the entire team (with private financing) and had an open auction of RoboticsResearchCo to the many companies investing in this field?
Ketosis takes at minimum two weeks to adapt to. For some, up to two months. It specifically takes this long because your brain has to switch to using the BOHB for its main fuel source (up to 66% of energy, perhaps higher). The remaining 33% is still glucose (other bodily functions still need glucose to perform, such as the creation of tears), and can usually be supplied by gluconeogenesis from the liver.

I understand the urge is great to talk about science exploration, but if your only source is reddit, you can easily accidentally propagate misinformation. Likely someone walked away from your post thinking that the brain will fail on ketosis because it doesn't have glucose (which is actually a common myth heard from physicians). They will never read this reply. I would highly encourage you to read a complete book before even attempting ketosis, otherwise you won't have the motivation and understanding of the changes in your body to make it worth your time.

If you want something light, read Keto Clarity. If you want a dense but approachable medical perspective, read The Art And Science of Low Carbohydrate Living. I've been in nutritional ketosis approaching a year, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't done their research on it.

I keep hearing we're crazy hostile and I don't see it. I have a crazy wonky linux setup and when games don't work, I don't flame the devs on messageboards. I even have a crazy wonky setup on windows - having a display with 240ppi, and I've seen plenty of games render badly, mess up my windows, etc. If it runs on Windows 8.1/latest Ubuntu on a beige Dell box, it's good enough for me, I'll always be able to work-around any problems.

Oh, In that case, its that PR stunt thing :)

Ok. I have read the letter. But my original point still stands. The only reason Apple bothered to do anything was because Taylor Swift said it.

To come to your point. I don't completely buy the whole "Think about the indie artists!" angle either. She herself says that pretty much everyone she spoke to in the industry (she used the word "social circle") was displeased with Apple's system. I am pretty sure there is self-interest involved. I am also positive her record label is happy with the new arrangement as well.
how foolish to expect change from someone whose campaign slogan was 'change'
To give you a concrete example of how this has changed, my mother was born in the mid-30s to a Cajun (French in Louisiana, by way of "Arcadia" in Canada) family, and prior to attending the public school system spoke no English. And English was all that was spoken at school, and not learning it was not an option.

Compare to bilingual education.
I'm a native speaker and it sounds pretty bad to me. Besides, I think that most people in Spanish speaking countries don't even know what "What's up?" means.

Is Apple's royalty structure set up so that if I pay $10/month and I listen to just Justin Bieber, then Justin Bieber gets the royalties from that $10, or is my 1,000 Justin Bieber plays added onto the plays of everyone else and royalties averaged out evenly? If it's the latter, this change doesn't impact Apple economically, it just adjusts the payouts percentages.

Your JVM does. jruby.jar is megabytes of reimplementation and mapping of the Ruby stdlib onto the JVM. Plus in this example, loading a Ruby parser and interpreter.

I especially like, that I can use Flask-Admin with Peewee ORM - https://peewee.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ - instead of SQLAlchemy, because I feel so much more comfortable with Peewee when doing small CRUD projects. SQLAlchemy is a lot more powerful, but the learning curve (at least for me) is steeper than with Peewee. Flask-Admin is a beautiful piece of software to get Flask backends set up quickly.
I got the same bait & switch; hired as a contractor "consultant" for 60/hr and then got a job offer for 70k but the manager said it's possible to go up to 90k. I assumed I'd be starting at 80k because I don't see any opportunity for advancement here. How do you get to 90k if there's no chance of moving up?

Worse still is the fact that the salary/performance review comes up in a few weeks and I started in January. Getting the job offer at all apparently counts as the performance review so to get a salary increase or title upgrade I effectively have to wait 1.5 years.

Depends on the company. I think it's done much less now than it was in the past. I know when I was hired into my first job in 2007 I barely knew their default programming language and definitely didn't know their in-house framework, so I spent the first two months in organized training and the next six or so in "on-the-job" training on a low priority production system.

Were all these people 100% on the project? My experience is that these roles usually are overhead for lot's of projects.
Planned is probably too strong a word, but I think it's likely that Apple anticipated that there might be pushback on the trial period, so they ready to make a quick change.

Remember when the iPhone debuted at $600 and no subsidy? People said it would never sell at that price. But of course a few did, and then Apple quickly cut the price to $400. Eventually it became $200+subsidy, just like any other smartphone.

Apple seems to start out with their preferred offer and see if it works. If not, they go to the next fallback position. That happens so quickly that it seems clear that they must anticipate it somewhat.

It's too contrived though; not having a single working keyboard anywhere isn't a real business situation. A slow bottlenecked server, sure.

If the "w" key weren't working I'd copy-paste "w" characters from elsewhere in the document, or bring up the on-screen keyboard. Writing bastardized code -- for (;;), really?! -- would be a huge negative against a candidate. And, of course, if a company really didn't have a working keyboard to provide me with, I'd never work there in the first place, because if they can't even provide working peripherals there's no limit to what else they might skimp on.

I actually have three keyboards at my desk right now -- one with Cherry MX blues, one with Cherry MX browns, and a Model M. No way in hell would I ever write code without "w"s.
I guess it depends your usage of scope. One is used in defining the problem, the other, the solution. I'm thinking of it's usage when describing the solution.

Also, C-- has updated from its spec as the author noted and... as far as I'm aware there aren't actually any updated specs or documentation. Perhaps a few papers? C-- was originally marketed as a new, designed intermediary language for compiling functional programs but it never quite took off as far as I understand. My understanding is that GHC is also moving toward using LLVM instead.

Announcing Docker 1.7: Multi-host networking, plugins and orchestration updates
Eh, 1.5% extra for a 3 month trial with no royalties was utterly contemptual and only appealing to those who couldn't do math: 100/1.5 = 66.67 x 3 months = 200 months to recoup the lost royalties.

For a music streaming service, looking to recoup your lost royalties after almost 17 YEARS (and only getting 1.5% extra at that) is laughable.

I'm having trouble seeing what this is good for, given those terms. Most software companies, especially those that sell software provide some kind of support, which is expressly prohibited by these terms.

While they don't go into detail here, if you buy a software product I created and I give you support via email, is that considered a "support service"? How about if you give me money, and I add some generic feature you really need? Is that considered support? What if you pay me to add custom integration for you? Redhat is infamous for really dumb/horrible policies but that hasn't stopped them from becoming a billion dollar company in the process of being "open".

Probably the worst one was, at least at some point, if you didn't renew your support contact, you were actually obligated to uninstall all their software.
If you're going to say it's not a coincidence, you should have evidence.

Spain's unemployment is largely due to overinvestment in construction-related industries. It was a stupid, greedy move (that the USA made as well), but it's one they can recover from. That's completely different from the problems facing Greece.

Greece just cannot sustain itself based on its current GDP, tax, and retirement arrangement. Unless that changes, they're a lost cause.

I'm sure there were some mistakes made by the euro policy makers in drafting austerity measure agreements for Greece, but I wouldn't let that distract from the main issue, which is that Greece just does not have a sustainable economy without continual devaluation of the currency they use.
You can't, but sovereignty isn't holy.

Today war is waged for oil, might as well be fought for actual freedom. I'd say that providing safe exit from ISIS might be infinitely more effective than bombing them.

An exit from extreme poverty and abuse would render vast criminal organizations without victims or workers.

The consensus to provide "right of exit" or "passage" should overpower any single country's decision, though in this world only what the US wants is military relevant for the moment. Replacing one of the military planes might be enough financial relief for thousands of refugees.
