Larry Ellison is a selfish hypocritical right wing fuck who was willing to wreck the entire software industry for his own personal gain.
Dude, chill. I think you're going overboard with this.
Oracle has to defend its business and it would be stupid for them not to go after the ginormous megacorp Google if they didn't see a chance of making a PR splash with the public and the shareholders. Everyone knows this was not about some silly and absurd 9 billion in damages Oracle was asking of Google.
Now Ellison can point to the lost Google case when business goes south for Oracle and Google wins out - even though this all had nothing to to with the case. The lawsuit is little more than a machiavellian smoke & mirror stunt to give Oracle some extra arguments vis-a-vis their inverstors. The case does have a lot of SCO smell to it and it was Sun who FOSSed Java, for the better or the worse - I doubt the Oracle experts or their legal dept. saw much of a chance of winning.
The robots are coming - that's a cold hard fact and there is no two ways about that.
But there is another hard fact: Humans need human interaction and they want interaction with humans that heightens their self-worth. One of the reasons I visit my favorite cafe and leave up to 150â a month there is because there are nice young ladies behind the counter, both cute snd polite, willing to take care of my cafe latte needs. I've got machines at home that could do the same thing but somehow those are not quite as good at smiling and holding a little conversation.
It's for that reason that a core of gastonomy jobs will remain, even if robots do most of the gruntwork.
"...pretty, working, and half-way reliable products that make us money..." Now that's a honest business person!
LOL! Nice one.:-)
Truth be told, as I wrote in my original long post, I work in an agency of 30 with colleagues who know squat about IT and won't learn the difference between a client and a server.
But they do like nice and shiny things to click on and as marketing/communication consultants are *very* good at selling them for obscene amounts of money. Also, appart from most agencies I've encountered, the entire company is 100% asshole-free which is a rare thing. 50% women contributes to that.... Bottom line: I enjoy working here and I doubt I'd be building avantgarde web stacks any sooner and with more professionality in some smelly devshop full of socially inept jerks - which I have worked with in the past too - rather than in our brand new and shiny 90% hippster-compliant agency office with cute and sociable ladies on the crew and all around.
If the people I do the "dev guy" for rake in bucketloads of cash by selling "change management intranets" to corporations which, on the online end, are basically pimped out stock-themed WP installations accompanied by insane amounts of marketing bullshit-bingo and "involvement workshops" I'll be the last to complain.
I work part time, call *all* the web-technology and development decisions around here and get to fiddle with all the nice and shiny stuff I'm interested in all day.
Why do you think I'm asking about the feasibility of a move from LAMP to Node? Because it's actually in my power to make such a strategic call, and like most, I've rarely had such an occasion. That's why I'm educating myself on this topic. I want to do this responsibly and my experience has me being very meticulous about this pondering and the decision process.
I've been saying this ever since Google Apps and watching a Google IO a few years back and seriously thinking of doing a career change once again, because if it weren't for 20 year old historically grown LAMP stack technology that needs hands on fiddling to this very day I'd long be out of a job.
Among all Megacorps it's Google whos strategy is the most future safe.
There's a good reason Apple started offering subscription plans for iPhones a few months back. Google and its serious focus on the web is an ongoing effort that is gradually pushing everybody else aside. MS only still exists because of its serious mind share and peoples unwillingness to change habits. Once that generation of users has died of, MS will be history. Same with Apple. There's an abundance of Hardware floating about and in the long run Apples walled garden will actually make things less attractive once services and convergence devices are a dime-a-dozen.
Google isn't really about search, never has been. It's about building an AI, a Brave New World Utopia Intelligence Machine, and as far as I can tell they are right on schedule with that, if not even perhaps a bit ahead. If Google plays its cards right, it will be the only Megacorp of today that will still be standing in a generation from now, that's pretty much a given.
If I'd be asked to bet these days, all my money would be on Google. And it's because they are *not* about selling hard- or software. It's that simple.
I'm not a Drupal Fan - WordPress and sometimes Joomla are my goto PHP CMSes - but this isn't really that big a newspiece, considering the install base Drupal has.
It's like saying WordPress is the Bane of the Web because 8000 Websites were hacked. 8000 out of 105 000 000 (105 Million) Installations isn't really that much. I doubt any other platforms can claim measureably better security.
David has shortened my Ask Slashdot significantly (no hurt feelings here what-so-ever), but the effort he put into his edited post is heart-warming and his preservation of the gist of my Node.js issue is spot on.
I've noticed that the quality of the editing work done on Slashdot ever since the newest crew took over is off the charts compared to everything before and I'd like to take the occasion to give a huge warm applause to the new crew and the work these guys are doing. You folks freakin' rock and I've never felt such pride in being a long-time slashdotter as I feel right now. I wish you a nice stream of revenue and happy times as the new herald of slashdot, you guys are off to a spectacular start in my book. BRAVO!
I'm actually going to point out to my geek buddies who've since abandoned slashdot (Whimps!:-) ) that now if ever is the time to return. Simply seeing slashdot soar to new heights is a pleasure in itself.
As for the discussion on my question - great input, folks. And, btw., needs to be said after 17 years of slashdotting: You guys rock too. Of course. Naturally.
But I have ideas for roughly 200 Projects and programs in store. Definitely enough to keep 10 teams of 5 to 10 people going for a few years. I've got ~30 Projects started and only one or two are the real biggies.
Here are some ideas, if you're struggling with that phase:
- Successor to Email. The world needs it. (Hard Crypto and discussions built in of course)
- zero-fuss x-plattform namecoin dns GUI
- zero-fuss x-plattform namecoin Server
- Web gl FOSS distributed Eve Online ripp, cheat-proof cryptocurrency integrated
- total WordPress redo with clean architecture, webbased ide and CASE Tool/object Modeler built in
- FOSS Tribes 2 ripp
- FOSS MechWarrior ripp
- FOSS x-plattform Git GUI that doesn't suck
- Rebranded Gimp with single window mode and others sane default configs
- non-shitty FOSS distributed Facebook replacement Server + non-shitty Web gui (hard crypto auth and anonymity built)... Please do NOT build this with some bizar scripting PL or LAMP contraption - this is NO place for LAMP!
- While we're at it: All webappserverstacks are shite. We need a LAMP Killer. Some neat x-plattform appserver in C++14 with an all-out Web Admin UI built in, Modeler included.... Build the WP replacement from above with that.
- zero-fuss x-plattform Crypto Chat Messenger. Like Xabber but in finished. And for Desktops too.
I could go on and on but you get the idea. Not knowing what to program is a Problem I don't understand... Seriously.
I consider news like this trés cool. Albeit percentages being usually low the Green Party has a solid standing in Germany and especially with my generation, and for good reasons too. However, that it came about for a majority holding conservative politician and party such as Merkel and the great coalition of CDU & SPD to make the call on moving out of nuclear fission was the missing piece in the puzzle. Sentiment towards fission was getting less enthusiastic throughout the decades and Fukushima Daiichi + Merkel was all it needed to finally do the u-turn in Germany.
I'm glad for once Germany is leading the pack without to much of an internal debate. The speed at which the u-turn was put in to practice is astonishing by German standards.
Nuclear Fission is on the way out, and I consider that a good thing. Nobody can take on resposibility for their garbage for a 200 000 year time period - that's a simple fact. Add to that the costs and multiple-century long consequences of disasters such as Chernobyl and Fukushima, and you got yourself a big fat no-go for this type of energy source.
You should see to it that your country decomissions nuclear fission aswell, wherever you live. It's too dangerous.
Give me a perfect FOSS GUI Tool for Bitkeeper that runs everywhere plus maybe a FOSS web-based BK GUI/Frontend and I'll move from Git to Bitkeeper faster than you can say "kinda-so-so Git tooling". However, if that doesn't happen and handling bitkeeper is just as much a hassle as Git was 7 years ago, I'll pass, thank you.
SourceTree isn't FOSS, although it's free-as-in-beer and GitKraken doesn't really seem to support my workflows, but I'm doing fine and it's still better than SVN, although SVN has near perfect tools available. Distributed is what makes the difference. If BK one-ups Git in the tooling dept., then it stands a chance. If not, it will remain a nice historic curiosity.
Wrong. Quote from the accident report: "Der Wagen überschlug sich und kam schwer beschädigt wieder auf den Rädern zum Stehen." Literal translation (German grammar, you'll figure what it means): "The car rolled and came heavily damaged on it's wheels to a standing."
So it did roll, at least once. According to the report exactly once.
1) The center of weight is notably lower (huge battery pack along the floor, no huge motor up front), making the Tesla Model S safer in handling than other limosines.
2) It has no motor and thus a *way* better crumpling zone in the forward trunk.
3) Right now tt has the best driving-assistance on the streets and in end-users hands.
Whenever my belt only buckles one notch further out, I consciously skip meals or just eat one small bowl of food per meal. Until I comfortly fit into my Jeans again. Usually takes 10 days to 3 weeks. If you have to ditch more than 4 kilos, that's be a tad longer for you. 2-3 kilos per fourtnight is easy if you consciously change your eating habits. If your 50 kilos overweight, that'll be a year of eating normal. 21 days to build a habit - search the internet on how it's done. If you absolutely need to spend money, get this guys book.
But the trick is simpler: Get smaller dishes. I mean, really small. That bowl I linked is a small japanese soup-bowl. Just enough for 4 spoons of delicious pasta, with italian herbs, parmesan, pepper and veggiebroth. Tastes delicious as if laced with crack and has way enough calories for a full meal. Perpare your own meals, eat slowly and enjoy.... Does the trick for me.
It bugs the hell out of me that apparently, at least the most outspoken US comic fans, just seem to think of superhero comics whenever they talk abour comics.
A little enlightenment: Superherocomics are a smaller subgenre of comics in general, and, if I may say so, a rather shallow one at that. Comics encompass a huge superset of superhero comics, the bulk made up of so-called franco-belgian comics, covering a huge variety of genres and target audience demographics. Resulting in the fact that comics are considered a notable cornerstone of culture in France and Belgium. Count in japanese Manga (academically debateable, I know) and US Superhero comics are nothing but a fraction of all comics.
A free comic day handing out only superhero comic is nothing I'd be interested in.
I'm a notable multi-decade comic afficiando, know my way around pretty well and touched a superhero comic in years.
I don't know anyone who's used Unity longer than I have and I've just switched to Xubuntu/XFCE and Lubuntu/LXDE because I couldn't bear compiz slowing my system Quad-Core 2,5 Ghz + 18GB RAM + 256GB SSD System + NVidia Quadro GFX to a grinding halt.
Fix compiz and Unity rendering and all will be fine. Until then, my patience with default Ubuntu Desktop finally is up.
Clean design, bold new concept, convergence planed in - all fine and dandy - but Unity is broken and simply still not ready for primetime / real-world everyday usage. That's a simple fact. (I've been using Ubuntu since v.9 btw.)
So a rocket breack up into 4+ parts and 4 of those stay in 30 meter proximity to each other, floating in space? With the right angle for the go pro to film?... It looks cool but I though at times it looks to good to be true.... To sceptical I am?
The shit Ellen Pao has done in the past has done so much harm to the image of women in tech leadership roles than this bullshit campaign can ever fix.
Just because you find her unsympathetic and her case was lost, doesn't mean she's wrong or did bad things (you call it "shit"). Or do you have proof? Citations/links please.
You'd never think there'd be such a thing as an orwellian 1984 nightmare nation - but North Korea pretty much is it. What an utterly bizar spectacle. I hope this fatso dies painfully of an heart-attack whilst shitting on the toilet and that the people of North Korea can finally have a peaceful and halfway decent republic of their own. After burning all the images and idols of him and his kin.
The last war and/or global economy crisis that truely leveled the playing field is roughly 70 years - two full generations - ago. The market is completely staked out and capital sucktion is rampant. For millenials the game has been rigged from the beginning.
The efficiency of capitalism as we now it continues to decline. Any millenial feels this instictively. To be honest, I have grown more sceptical myself throughout the decades.

You're not alone buddy. Allthough I sometimes think I am.

Never in a month of sundays did that car roll.

Literal translation (German grammar, you'll figure what it means): "The car rolled and came heavily damaged on it's wheels to a standing."
So it did roll, at least once. According to the report exactly once.
The car is as safe as any other modern car.
Nope. It actually *is* safer.
Here's why (from the top of my head):
1) The center of weight is notably lower (huge battery pack along the floor, no huge motor up front), making the Tesla Model S safer in handling than other limosines.
2) It has no motor and thus a *way* better crumpling zone in the forward trunk.
