How do you actually asses that the cause of death is coal vs cigarette smoke vs car exaust? Is only cancer of respiratory system taken into account? Is a percentage of stroke victims also? How is that percentage chosen?

I've been using lately https://booky.io/ . I'm not affiliated in anyway with them. It's currently missing a global bookmark search though.

"STOP STOP, It's already dead"

What field of programming have you implemented that? I'm curios, is it in kernel development, some DB design. Not trolling, just curios where that usecase where this would come in handy and why ask it if it's not a direct relation to what you are doing.

Not to mention how hard is to have a standardization. Doesn't do any good if the data is not guaranteed to have been measured in somewhat similar conditions. Thinking about my cholesterol. I've seen so much fluctuation on my own blood results between labs. They blame it on the "bad chemical reactives". And that is even a somewhat standardized numerical values, but what about subjective symptom: "I have a sand in eye sensation". For ML this must be translated to a numerical value. Does it feel like a 1 or a 1,5 sensation out of 10, how can we make sure we have the same understanding?

I agree with what you are saying, however tape over the camera means you don't trust the OS or the hardware manufacturer with a console command like modprobe to actually do it's thing and disable the web camera.

A static type system makes code self documenting, easier to refactor and more maintainable

Does he have some custom build network router that he trust? Putting tape over your camera means you know enough to not trust the laptop hardware neither the OS or browsers like you said.

But he says: "We use .. Sonos system with Spotify for music, a Samsung TV, a Nest cam for Max". So all of his appliances do get outside. I did a double-take on Nest cam. So he's streaming videos from his house on the internet with a closed source hw and software.

Rather what the hell happened to the guy that had tape on his laptop camera and microphone. Suddenly he's got an always on listening device. How does one go from one to the other?

I lost it when the guy said don't use an IDE. What's the point of having a static type system when I can't use an IDE to see where a specific method is called.

Guess you don't care for the high probability that the user has already the CSS in local cache .

I've found https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder pretty sufficient for this as it helps generate json logs with extra custom fields based on SFL4J log statements. You can use it's layout to send the json formatted logs to other endpoints not just logback. It's actually being used like that to send to kafka in https://github.com/danielwegener/logback-kafka-appender

Funny thing is that I use Scaleway also, and did not have any problems registering a credit card with them. Since online.net and scaleway seem to be the same or related somehow, maybe they should copy-paste the CC validation code from them or allow login with the same user.

Same for me. I wanted to use them two weeks ago but could not get passed it. I just gave up on 3rd card attempt. And btw why can't they support pay-pall? It always makes me uneasy to pass in the credit card details directly on a site.

Yes.

Joke aside, at least in hiring people it should.

It's hard to decide to give them something with this list of options - really what can you choose here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/contribute/?version=1... the alternatives are:

1. Ubuntu for personal and mobile computing - I want convergence now! - really? I'm just afraid it will push the desktop version to suck more like Unity.

2. Ubuntu for cloud computing - I want Ubuntu running my cloud and as a guest in my cloud of choice. - well I'd rather have Ubuntu be my desktop choice and have them more focused on that.

3.Ubuntu for things - I want a secure, upgradeable Internet of Things, powered by Ubuntu. - Well, Raspbian lite has got that covered, will ubuntu further strip down a debian or where do they think they want to improve for IoT?

4.Community projects I support LoCo teams, UbuCons and other events, upstream projects and all the good work the community does. - well I'm afraid the money will mostly go into t-shirts and beer conferences. If you guarantee the money goes to upstream projects I'm down for that option at least.

5.Tip to Canonical - Hats off for making Ubuntu possible. Keep it up. - Well yeah, but what does that mean considering from the other options(convergence, cloud, iot) does a tip mean I endorse this new path instead of desktop focus?

At least before they had some option about addressing driver incompatibilities.. Someone please help me/us choose.. I want to spend money for an open source OS for my desktop as to to not make me feel naked in front of Microsoft employees when I browse the internet.

"Is there any way to use it without making/(being allowed to make) separate HTML templates and CSS files? If not, this is a serious disadvantage" Translation: "Can I sh*t where I eat? If not, this is a serious disadvantage"

Well I definitely support the example of using Kafka for analytics with a streaming solution like Flink or Spark, etc. However I asked the "why not directly to ES" question because the example of using Kafka just as a layer in front of ES I felt it kinda painted Kafka layer as something "we could do because we can, not because we need to".

DO has 5$ + VAT price for 512MB instance. I have no problem accommodating mysql + web on that.

Well ES is pretty fast by itself - lots of people use it to store log entries(ELK stack) and every log line triggers an indexing event in ES. Introducing Kafka into the mix just seems like an unnecessary complication.

Well Logstash can output data into Kafka or ElasticSearch. So you could for example transform logs to json or do simple text processing in Logstash and put it to ElasticSearch for logsearching but you can also put it in Kafka and then have a stream parsing with all sorts of tools like Flink, Spark, etc. You could then have the possibility do so some realtime analysis on what the user do all over your stack. Too many "Login Failed" events and maybe you have an attacker trying to bruteforce a passsword and maybe you need to present him with a captcha screen.

Hm but why would you not send it directly to ElasticSearch?

Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try this summer with xpra. Did not know about it.

I wonder how hard it's to program running a remote desktop connection to a desktop computer at home. I run Intellij Idea for java dev, so no way I can run on the tablet considering the battery drain.

It would be nice to program in the park by just bringing the tablet and a keyboard. On the other hand the latency alone might distract me enough to just give up.

Yeah, code that anyone can read is so overrated. PS: Sarcasm.

I'm going more pragmatic and I think most of the bugs were/ are NullPointerException the kind that today's IDE(due to their maturity of working for years and years with the language) can now even warn you about, compared to obscure ones that force you to do resets. On the other hand I don't see why the concepts of immutable values cannot be adopted in OOP languages. There is http://javaslang.com/ and immutable collections were long time present in Guava library. Sure immutability might not be enforceable in the language itself but you can do it. Java8 has streams for a functional approach to collections. Hell you can even use Akka if you cannot do without an actor framework in java.

But suggesting we need to start from scratch with new untested 3rd party libraries(that other people take for granted) and rewriting some of them. Even the simpler stuff like suffering the quirks of the extra tooling(build tools, IDEs) for a new language and all because of the death and doom we are supposedly seeing today(which I dont and I've yet to see people doing nightly restarts of web servers for some years). Unless you do consultancy for that language(or are seeking employment in a niche market) I think it's a little mad.

For me to declare the defeat of OOP and win of a FP language I first need to hear the voice of people having to do maintenance work on legacy code in that language as I'm too old to only believe there is such a thing as panaceea or there are only upsides to an alternative.

Well I don't think functional languages are something new and by reading the latest death and doom I'd wonder how we ever got this far and why suddenly it's so much harder to do concurrency. I confess that I don't write low level software for lunar modules but just the regular enterprise stuff and having worked with high level concurrent constructs like ConcurrentHashMap, LinkedBlockingQueue, RingBuffers on the jvm I've yet to experience the concurrency issues everyone is lamenting. I know it must be hard for the people developing the jvm to make those high level concurrency constructs available for me, but that is why I'm grateful for their work and "happy" that I can rely on them. I don't know maybe I've just been very lucky until now.

I'm amazed by the number of people that declare the shared mutable state of the current languages as their bottleneck. You'd think everybody is suddenly working with realtime stream analysis on huge datasets and are battling millions of concurrent users these days.

My thinking is that if you are so popular you can afford maybe to start 20 more 5$ instances. And really I find it hard to think of problems that cannot be solved with 20 x 5$ DO VMs at least in Java.

Yeah they will still probably be labeled as dead man walking for the next 20 years long after your FP langue de jour will have outlasted it's pristine days and got damned to hell by the devs having to maintain the programs written in it. Don't get me wrong if you are currently doing consultancy business for a niche FP language far for me to blow the wistle to companies that instead of paying your fees and hefty salary for that rare programer(who might be me) who would have dabbled in your obscure language they would be better of paying 10$ a month and get 2 more DigitalOcean instances to support the rise in traffic your non sharable state code is solving.

And to go even lighter I use pippo(https://github.com/decebals/pippo). I like the modular way that allows me to tailor my apps to be <1MB final size. Really helps with lightning fast deployments on my many DigitalOcean smallest 512MB instances.It also works great on raspberry pies - I was using nodejs webapps until pippo because they were lighter on resources(I rather hate js and nodejs and hence the praise for pippo) . I also pair it with jooq for db access when needed.
