People follow the jobs, jobs don't follow people. A more likely scenario is that those jobs are just gone, not that they moved downtown to catch the special snowflakes. Or downtown addresses have replaced campuses whenever executives get together to dick wave.
Huh, the other thread [1] with a similar title was flag-killed.

The study is here: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

If this one sticks around I hope for better non-inflammatory discussion.

EDIT: Note while this is a much better article about the study it's still a bit click-baity and includes some interesting word choice that could be considered sexist (e.g. insinuating men are Neanderthalish, that sex-imbalance isn't a problem when a community is primarily women like Pinterest, etc.)

Just speculating, but this might be a fail safe since bool's default to false in .NET.

Philanthropy is a lot harder without capitalism. "I should be the one who decides where the money I worked so hard to make gets donated." Besides, it's good advertising.

Thank you very much! Scheduling could be an interesting feature. Why do you schedule your containers? Have you tried another approach?
This is what happens with media coverage of pharmaceutical development, and often science in general. Journalists want stories that people can relate to, that don't have the uncertainty that is inherent in science, and that will grab the public's attention. The ridiculous tone is often something that horrifies the people being reported on, but seems very difficult to escape.

It doesn't help that here, I think, we're seeing a community and media largely centered around software development trying to deal with a field that is far, far riskier, and has far less certainty at every step. Good ideas in software might not catch on, but good ideas in science more often than not turn out to be entirely wrong. Do a closed beta of your software, too, and while your users might not end up liking the software much, it's very unlikely that it's just going to fundamentally fail to work at all. Clinical trials can often end up that way.
Dust-Up in the Agile World
Things flying into the engines of operating aircraft, especially during take-off and landing, is an extreme hazard that has been documented in many, many cases. Anything airborne poses a serious hazard to aircraft, even tiny particles of ash.

This is nothing at all like the threat posed by liquids. That's a response to binary explosives and is misguided at best. Powder mixtures can do just as much damage and they don't screen for those at all.

Interesting proposal. The 90% number comes from an estimated $100 billion price tag for another moon shot - in short, the study estimates we could land humans on the moon for just $10 billion. It's unclear if that's $10 billion in addition to NASA's current budget.

> Enabled by public-private partnerships, NASA’s current human spaceflight budget is sufficient to return humans to the surface of the Moon and develop a permanent lunar base.

Does this mean repurposing NASA's entire budget? Doesn't the current budget include maintenance/monitoring for many long-term projects including Hubble, NuSTAR, New Horizons, STEREO, etc? So we'd have to choose to abandon all current research to fit another moon trip into the budget?

> Mining fuel from lunar poles and transporting it to lunar orbit for use by other spacecraft reduces the cost of sending humans to Mars and other locations beyond low Earth orbit. These commercial fuel depots in lunar orbit have the potential to cut the cost of sending humans to Mars by more than $10 billion per year.

This second bullet point is a somewhat longer reach. Once we have fuel depots constructed in lunar orbit, we can more cheaply mine spaceship fuel from the moon's poles, and refuel ships in orbit instead of landing them on a gravity well.

First, this assumes the lunar poles will have the specific material we're using for fuel, something which is unknown to myself. Secondly, this assumes we have already constructed the orbiting fuel depots. This will definitely be the way to go once we have these constructed, but for now they don't reduce the price for lunar or Mars trips.
Your site looks interesting but I'm mostly curious about your web-crawling framework - looks like it worked pretty well. Is it open-source?

Police caught the guy. Probably. He admited to fly his drone in that region at the time, but had no idea he was so close to the airport.

The uav has gps and logs position and time, so they will know for sure eventually. It's illegal to operate drones there, the guy can go to prison for up to 8 years.

There are limits on what turbine blades can handle. Stronger blades are thicker. Thicker blades are heavier and harder to spin up. As it is, the insides of those turbofans are the bleeding edge of material science!
It's not just C#. I did the JavaScript port from scratch in about 8 hours. There's no reason other languages couldn't be added if there is enough interest.
Agreed, it's a trade off.

Here, yes. I prefer those things over the list of things that I mentioned previously.

I have arranged my work schedule to miss the worst of both inbound and outbound rush hour.

When I'm outside of my regular work hours, on evenings and weekends, there is much more freedom in driving one's self as opposed to waiting for public transportation.

For those of us who are so inclined, public transportation is still an option.
Yes, I know. I'm explaining why I think people might believe they're similar, not trying to actually say that they are similar.

I agree with you. Being first (or even early) to market is obviously an advantage, but it's neither necessary nor sufficient for success, as countless examples show. "The second mouse gets the cheese."

In a market with rapid growth and technological change, sometimes it can even damage your prospects. For example, MySpace found themselves dominating the market while it was still small, and for whatever reason, wasted the opportunity. Facebook learned from their mistakes and took control of the market MySpace had helped to create.
Mesosphere is a company, not a piece of software. I think you're referring to Mesosphere's dcos[1].

DCOS is some really nice packaging for marathon, chronos, etc, with a nice cli tool for downloading and installing new frameworks onto mesos. Personally, I find using Aurora a lot nicer.

That being said, I do think the kubernetes-mesos gives you far and above the best of both worlds. You get the developer story of kubernetes, with the ops story of mesos.

From an ops perspective, k8s is a bit clunky. I was actually shocked when I found out after bringing a new kubelet (worker node) online, you have to also update a service on the master. This was in a power training class on Kubernetes at this year's Redhat Summit in Boston. Really underwhelmed with the complexity of k8s compared to mesos, but they aren't an apples to apples comparison.

Researchers opt for more damning (though less controlled) experiments to further prove their point, and now they're suddenly the bad guys here.

Much of the commentary here focuses on the recklessness of the highway test and doesn't weigh in too heavily on who the bad guys are.

I think people mostly find the idea of remotely exploitable and controllable cars so terrible that there isn't anything to discuss about that aspect of it, it's nearly universally considered unacceptable (hence the epic thread about the side issue).

Maybe try reading the comments without imputing a side that the writer is taking.
No one is claiming having an open source application will cure cancer.

FSF promotes "free software" as a means of ensuring the user's freedom.

When in fact, if you have a piece of free software that's old and unmaintained and the code is complicated and no one understands it, your software is by all definitions "free", but it doesn't really give you the freedom you are seeking, unless you are a developer yourself.

Most of the time, you will get more freedom if the developers had documented their data formats and provided tools to liberate your data.
There are firms that build them specifically for industrial inspection purposes, eg Blue Bear Research Systems in the UK. Unless the witness was qualified (eg a pilot or surveyor or similar) I would take size/height estimates with a giant pinch of salt, most people are awful at estimating those things.

But while it could be done, most offices don't have the insides separated out (wiring,plumbing) installed and non-opening windows. And zoning.

It can be done, but it might not end up being cheap.
There are also very few regulations on drones, and there are no licenses/permits required to learn the rules in order to fly them.

Apple Reports Record Third Quarter Results
Given that a big part of a jet engine is that there's a large series of rotors to perform the compression of the air intake as it streams in[1], and then constricts the space to get even higher compression before the combustion chamber there's a good chance of things getting stuck once the primary rotor has been damaged by something going into it. That's the primary way that birds and other debris disable a single engine. They don't usually cause a fire because they're not likely to combust/explode on being punctured or torn[2].

When Kubernetes runs on Mesos, that's correct.

Kubernetes can also run directly on VMs or physical machines.
First time I hear about that tool, thanks! I'll start testing it.
That's super interesting, I believe society can benefit if people could do only what they like. Nonetheless I would expect some strange transition in my home country, Italy.. Lol:)
Don't worry. I'm sure there's a free-market solution out there somewhere.

#ifdef GAPING_SECURITY_HOLE
> I've just phoned 'Troop C' of the Highway Patrol at their main number, +1-636-300-2800 and they seemed pretty keen to follow up. The fact that the vehicle was disabled where there was no shoulder, was impeding traffic, and the demo not cleared with them in advance has them concerned. I'm all for testing exploits and security research, but this isn't the right way to do it. And to film it and post it to a high traffic site is nuts.

WTF is wrong with you?
My suburban neighborhood growing up did not have sidewalks; not sure if that was unusual. Overall it's my impression that urban areas are much more walkable/bikeable than suburban ones. At the very least, it's difficult to leave or enter individual subdivisions in the suburbs on foot (by design).
Interesting! How does Toyota's code compare to other car manufacturers?
This is not usually possible because of the cost to run plumbing. You have to gut the entire facility in order to put kitchens and bathrooms in every apartment and it just isn't (usually) cost effective.
I myself share your views on the Basilisk and the AI chat, and I don't think they are as "extreme outliers" as you think.
Single File Development
Underrated comment right here.

It should come as no surprise that it takes two solid incomes in the Bay Area to buy housing close to work, because that's what the market supports. Families didn't become "better off" when two incomes became the norm -- everything just got more expensive.

I think this is one of the nasty secrets why remote work and public transit hasn't taken off like it should; who would support the crazy real estate prices if people could (more easily) choose where they live?
Same. Not only to ensure I wrote queries or scopes correctly, but also because I like to add extra validation constraints to be sure my application code can't sneak junk into the database.

How can I really ensure my CHECK constraints / DOMAINs, unique indexes, RAISE EXCEPTION in insert/update triggers, etc. are correctly implemented if I'm not testing against a real Postgres database?
I hadn't heard of Esio Trot, but sounds like a definite fit.

Given the speeds I'm not even sure it'd take that. The debris being sucked in I think would be enough to break/bend a blade or two which would unbalance it just as easily. Making even more debris for the rest of the engine.
While bringing down test runtime 1000x is certainly a nice feat, I don't think this is setting a right precedent. I, for one, would be very afraid. Tests are not supposed to be written with speed in mind. Metrics seem to dominate the world of tests, where the spirit is supposed to be catching real world bugs.

For example, the following can be done without destroying the spirit of testing:

* Stub the sign in (big savings)

* Keep a tab on fixtures (big savings)

* Parallellize (big savings)

* Buy a better machine (big savings)

* Truncate with transactions/container-snapshots/etc (medium savings)

* Tune database for speed than safety (medium savings)

* Tune GC (medium savings), with enough RAM (16GB) disable it entirely (big savings)

* Disable logging and instrumentation, yes including timing measurements, unless intentionally needed (small to medium savings)

* Mount entire codebase, database and resources in tmpfs (small savings)

The below, while they might improve performance, go against the spirit:

* Tautological tests (http://fabiopereira.me/blog/2010/05/27/ttdd-tautological-tes...)

* Too many mocks/metaprogramming

* Using a different database driver

I'm planning to write a tool, which given a Class, will pump out lines and lines of tautological tests, line for line (a.a should == a.a), method for method (a.should receive save, a.save), branch for branch (with some metaprogramming). Coverage will report a cool 100%, tests will be blazing fast, and that should calm the lead devs down.

When will people understand the problem with genomics isn't complexity, it is a lack of raw data.

Jobs had to persuade him to leave HP, and do all the selling and marketing, those are also important parts of building a business. In my view it was a partnership and you're ignoring a huge part of what made Apple Apple. That leaves you with Google, which also had two very early significant players.

I'm not arguing against single founders, it's perfectly possible, but most companies are not started by a single founder, they are collaborations and are all the better for it.

And this echos the Torvalds stance of not breaking userspace.

That has had the side effect of major changes taking years to get hashed out to make sure the APIs are rock solid. Because once they are in the main tree, they will not be broken.

Heck, such attitudes may well be why Windows conquered the corporate desktop while OSX gets nowhere near it (outside of special cases).

When MS makes a release, they state how long they will support it for.

With OSX there is no such commitment.

Or one can see the difference in Linux distros in how RH is commited to maintaining a certain major release for years, while on the other hand you have rolling distros that come with a caveat emptor style warning.

And what we see is that developers flock to the rolling ones, while corporations etc embrace the LTS ones.

Nobody is forced to release their source code.

They just can't release binaries without the source, as they would be preventing other people from doing anything they want with it.

Arguing against that on the basis of freedom is hypocritical.
More than syntax wrapper, but absolutely correct. There is a lot of movement in the community to refer to things in a BEAM-centric way.
I think the problem is humans just aren't smart enough to do the work.

Every other programmer and scientist in the entire fucking world should be working on AI.

Or we can work on techniques to improve our ability. Our collective IQ improved a lot when we dropped roman numerals in favor of arabic/hindi numerals.

In programming we have know of better techniques for a long time[1]. Sadly, as a community we just haven't put understanding as a priority. We follow "Move fast and break things." instead of "Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.".
I remember reading a report that found that the use of buzzwords was a benefit when done among management. But telling developers to leverage their synergies is probably not going to help you at all unless you are joking.
This is a pretty good write up, although from the editor's point of view (which ultimately is the one that counts if PR is going to get results), it could be tightened up a bit.

I was the editor of Dr. Dobb's and am currently the editor of Java Magazine (from Oracle). I get hundreds of pitches a month. The triage greatly favors outreach about products in my site/magazine's wheelhouse and initiated by someone I know. The latter bit is key. If my contact is at a PR agency that I've worked with before, I know they know my coverage area and my interests. But mostly important, I know their client will be prepared.

This means that if I ask for a demo, the guy doing it knows how to do a demo. I also know the tech guy and the marketing guy on the call have a modicum of understanding about how the conversation goes. (For example, not saying "we were hoping to get some coverage because we just signed an ad contract with you guys.") And finally, I know the agency will not contact me unless the company truly has something to say.

Because of these factors, I know that there's a high likelihood that engaging with the start-up will result in useful content for my readers.

In contrast, dealing with an unknown company and unknown PR person, it's a crapshoot. I can spend a bunch of time and have nothing to show for it.

So, when I'm under the gun (which is most of the time), I will always favor the interactions that are most likely to result in content I can use.
Most of them will probably go away, but I wouldn't scratch them off. Things have an uncanny way of coming back when people stop trying to make something of them, when they become abandoned and creative folks are allowed to do as they wish to the structure.

No one wants to work in these builds right now because (as you pointed out), e.g. horrible lighting and ambiance. But if you came back to it, and knocked some holes in the roof (easy to do, because, again, they're cheap crap), then suddenly, it could actually turn into the sort of dorm that we'd actually wanted to be in.
I believe I'm paid a similar rate to other people in my city but I also believe I'm still underpaid. The market for my specific skills is starting to open up though and there is much more demand than there is supply of workers right now. I don't like when companies think they can get away with 1/2 salary for an expert just because it's a remote position.

They will say that there is no argument against redefining marriage to include multiple spouses that didn't apply to redefining marriage to include two same-sex spouses.

They will ask, "once the decision has been made that marriage is all about love and companionship without any regard to society's interest in defining it, why shouldn't two brothers or two sisters be able to marry?"

Sidewalks have been a feature of every city center neighborhood I've lived in (and I've lived in many). Cities can be safer in that I rarely drive and there are visible and predictable pedestrian street crossing everywhere. While pedestrians do get run over, it's at a far less frequent rate than car-on-car accidents happen.
