Cue the "Prost" engine popping up on GH in a week.

Ah, I read that as "Iran didn't have an isolated system", in that they for some reason had a lapse of judgement.

Like a "See, the government even makes massive, obvious mistakes" type of comment.

Stuxnet happened via thumbdrive. The air gap was already there. (and failed)

The third and most important reason:

They have someone to blame when shit goes tits up. Response time may still be abysmal, but "dammit we payed a million dollars for this!"

Can you point me to an institution that's managed to consistently pull that one off?

Sure, hoards of shops founded and run by developers with PM's who have actually done the grunt (coding) work in the past.

I've noticed that this problem usually pops up when the PMP certified suits end up managing technical staff.

I don't think they're quite competing with directly with Walmart, but only due to the targeted demographic.

Walmart targets everyone, which usually results in more of a sway towards the lowest common denominator. Target's marketing (Target's target marketing?) is seemingly always geared towards upper middle class, or whatever makes up that income level now. It even shows in their branding. Take a look at how Target specific brands are expressed (Archer Farms, Market Pantry, etc) and compare them to their counterparts over at wally world.

Here's an excellent example of this: Starbucks embedded cafes in Target stores under the Starbucks brand. They did the exact same thing in Walmart, but ran under the Seattle's Best marquee in order to provide the lower priced option.

Best practices are to not use pull unless you certainly know you should.

Things should be fetched then merged with two separate commands.

Impractical for single repository of libraries

Submodules?

I actually think an entire repo of libraries is the wrong way to go. With the git model, we have however many repos acting as the source for these libraries. This repository that contains all of these submodules can then be the arbiter of which version should be included in the release.

Yes, some will say - but this is good - centralization is bad... Well, it depends. If you can spend time to figure out who is who, then it will work for you.

And this problem doesn't exist with SVN? Sure, maybe if you are the sole publisher of all these libraries it might be ok, but with most real world examples, there exists multiple contributors. Now they need to go through you when there needs to be a specific update to that library. With git, the maintainer of the repo of libraries(submodules) just updates the specific submodule to whatever release works for their tastes.

Most of these complaints sound like an SVN user having some pain when trying to think in git.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Location: Northeast Ohio.

PHP Full Stack developer. I really don't want to write a full resume out here. I'll do/ learn anything. Currently working (salary, full benefits) for a large state university where I develop their Drupal CMS, manage the codebase, interface with clients, etc. I also do work for a private company that does affiliate marketing.

I need a job that will better my career, as I fear stagnation in my current environment.

I'm familiar with API's, third party service integration, cloud setup, data migration. Is there a general catch all term for "I do web stuff"? I haven't encountered anything in my wheel house that takes more than 3-4 days to figure out. Most recent was working on an HMAC API in Symfony2 for an Angular frontend.

Buzzwords: PHP, HTML5, CSS, SASS, LESS, JS, Drupal 7, Angular, Yii, Symfony2, Yii2, Postgres, MySQL, Apache, Git, SVN

Lesser Buzzwords: Grails, Objective C (iOS), Java (Android), PhantomJS

It's the steam model.

"Why not buy this game if it's only $5?"

20 minutes, 10 purchases, and $50 later with another set of titles to stale in the library.

You might like some of the Heroes of Might and Magic games.

The last one I played was III, so it's been over 10 years, but they were always fun.

I think my PM's have this printed out on a cheat sheet they bring to each meeting.

It embarrasses me when we have techs from other companies doing training or demos and management starts spouting this bullshit.

My last 2 months have been on 4 hours of sleep per night.

Yeah it works, but God does it suck. This has occurred out of a need to get work done, so I wonder how many others found themselves conditioned in the same way.

I even know people who deliberately did "out and back" jumps to leap-frog over others at the same original company.

This is commonly known as a valid strategy at the place I work. It's very difficult to come in giving a shit about my code when the future of my position is a dead end.

That's why he used the word "needs" and not "status quo".

Doesn't this method of including dynamic data in the index.html page prevent it being served from a CDN?

if your cdn is serving static html pages then yeah probably. If it's just serving assets like images/js/css/fonts, it shouldn't be an issue since those would all be extra reqs anyway, and not "compiled" into the html.

I serve up all my angular view templates as static files (ui-router), use ng-include for dumb stuff like footer text that never changes, and rely on the API (hmac) for populating content.

Perhaps this is over opinionated, but angular seems to me to be designed so that you don't have to do ANY view templating bullshit on the server. I don't have a single angular app that hits the app server for an html template compiled by code. In fact the only thing I do serverside templating in now is drupal.

Depends on how you're using angular to inject views.

Vanilla angular views are requested, parsed, bindings added, and then presented. It's one request for the html, all the rest happens in browser.

angular ui views may be different, but according to my network panel on chrome its still one request for the template and whatever assets it brings with it.

I'm going to guess the guys meant they will preload the first view based on page state, which does indeed save a single round trip, but means nothing for any state changes that would occur after the fact. I would argue that an app which needs to micro optimize like this might not be built correctly from the get go, as you're really only saving 1 request and whatever small byte size of the content.

Please don't mess with my ability to scroll through content. Additionally, having content in between the nav breaks is infuriating, and my scroll bar is gone.

Yep that happened to me as well after spinning on the page for 30+seconds.

A lot.

We'll pretty much take care of whatever a company needs as long as it isn't .net. We're predominately a PHP shop that deals with Magento and Drupal dev, but we also do full app development from scratch on Symfony2 or Yii, whatever fits the task the best.

We get requests for doing maint on clients old sites, migrations to new setups, and sometimes just build off little glue apps that makes peoples' lives easier around their respective offices. It's small but getting there.

I work a full 8-5 salaried job, have a side job from 6-whenever I sleep, and am starting a consulting gig with a friend of mine.

All bootstrapped, all while still having security. Things are still in their infancy, but we have 5 clients between two people, so things may pick up a bit soon.

I wouldn't do this any other way though. It may take a little bit longer to set everything up, but I have security. If everything fails tomorrow, my worst case scenario is I get back up and go back to work in the morning.

Here's the LKML listing, because that little asp classic site seems to be having some slowness, and they didn't really include much more than a small summary, which is about as big as the whole lkml article anyway.

...paying money to a third party for mojang's work

Is this really the case though? Aren't these people paying for a specific economy type created in game? they could go play any number of free servers or run their own, but they choose to play a P2W server. The server ops are really charging money for the service of the in game economy being micromanaged.

Agree, it's like life is a constant game of "maintain the status quo", and we measure innovation by how pissed people get that had already invested in said status quo.

I just called Time Warner yesterday to complain until they gave me better pricing and ended up arguing with the retention guy about how it would cost them less if they just killed their analog output (which still runs in my area) and gave internet users the BW. TWC is finally doing so in the area, but not after milking every last drop out of the aging analog cable crowd.

You complain to the taxi company and they could care less

...twitch...

couldn't care less

I make clear ice cubes two ways.

1. Boil water twice beforehand

2. Strap a vibrating "toy" to the tray and put it on a solid flat surface in the freezer.

Neither of these solutions ended up costing me more than $20 to make as many ice cubes as I can fit. The hardest part is finding ice cube trays that don't suck.

Oh come now, that's a bit ridiculous. Interiors are upgraded, accessories are upgraded, often the suspension is upped as well. Outside of that, many of the Lexus models have completely redone power trains (F line). The IS line is on a completely separate platform from whatever the equivalent vanilla toyota would be.

I would have gone with something like Ford and Lincoln, where they really are almost completely rebadged.

reinvented the higher-end headphone market.

Rebranded mid-range electronics with pop star endorsements and hype.

Do people really consider Beats to be high end?

Is it just the ability to discover new music that has people in love with BS?

I find that Google Play does a fantastic job on my phone, and for any sort of real use I fall back to my Sansa MP3 player. I personally dislike others making my playlists, so perhaps I'm far outside the demographic.

Is there something I'm missing here, some sort of killer feature perhaps, that validates the huge valuation of this acquisition?

Isn't OpenShift technically still AWS?

I'm going to assume Terry either found some moments of calm or changed up his meds.

Either way, nice so see him in the public eye without all the vitriol.
