Yep, and at this point, I don't believe I allow any to run in background mode. There's nothing so significant that I need to track other than via the iOS supported notifications.
Maturation is where you realize that others will depend upon what you do - it's not just play time 24 hours a day. Now, does that mean you need to hate your job? I'd disagree. If you hate your job, you need to revisit what's really important to you and make appropriate adjustments.
Devops is just waiting for the next revolution to hit them: Sysadmins.
Devops works great until your devs get tired of being called every weekend to fix x or y that was nothing more than a machine going down or a configuration problem. All of a sudden, a dedicated admin (or group!) sounds like a really bright idea. FYI - devops is fine for the initial development cycle, devops into production is a prescription for disaster. I know this for a fact as I was pushed into a devops team a decade ago to stabilize their system as they had frequent outages, and every minute of those outages could cost more than the entire dev team's monthly salary. We stabilized it by bringing in... yep, a full fledged development process with admins running the production and QA systems, and taking over the duties of upgrades. The devs were happier, the admins were happier, and our unexpected outages dropped by 99%.
> If you remove religion, then shouldn't all life be preserved?
How do you figure? From a purely biological perspective, all life exists at the expense of some other life. Even plants poison and crowd out their competitors. Now, if you argue that morality and/or ethics can exist independently of religion, then I agree with you. All three are human constructions. It does not follow, however, that the life of a murderer is just as sacred as the life of an unborn child (or fetus).
This line only leads into the standard pro/anti choice rhetoric.
Likewise, lots of people - given the choice and ability, to end their own lives because of terminal, painful illnesses. I mean, do you really want to tell someone suffering from glioblastoma that all life is sacred, their life is sacred, and despite the intense and agonizing pain before their soon to be certain death, they should keep on keeping on?
I agree with this: life at all costs is not necessarily life worth living nor wanted.
Or perhaps Scala (and Rust) both have several orders fewer developers associated with them and consequently many order fewer new developers looking to enter their ranks?
But, in the context of this conversation, the point is that people are pro-life because "Sanctity of unborn life, where that life is presumed innocent of sin." That's what kicked off this particular thread. If you remove religion, then shouldn't all life be preserved? This is obviously not the case, but limited to humans only. Why? Religion. You just can't get around the fundamental issue of religion driving the pro-life movement of today. (pun intended)
Emby sucked, last time I looked, and Kodi isn't that great either. I may have to institute some new firewall rules soon. I was going to anyways, this just increases the need.
There are cats that are hypoallergenic, something in their genetic make-up is different enough from other cats that the allergic reaction is reduced or even in some cases non-existent. There are certain breeds of dogs that exhibit similar traits. At least 3 breeds I know of have been isolated from other strains of dogs for many centuries, 2 of those having been breed exclusively on islands and one by royalty.
Unborn life is presumed innocent since it hasn't done anything yet. No harm to anyone else - and this is divorced from any religious beliefs, as I have none except snuff means snuff and we die forever. If you believe in judging people by the sum total of their actions, it makes sense to exempt the unborn from that.
"Unborn" life can absolutely harm and even kill, and has, many many many times throughout history. Too many to count, actually, and it still goes on even today. You might want to familiarize yourself with maternal mortality for starters.
That aside, what is this notion of "innocent" in this conversation if it's not based on a religious ideology? Is a 1 day old child innocent? How about 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? 1 decade? When does this magical innocence suddenly go away, and why?
Sure you can. It's not even that much of a logical leap...you are leaving out a word. Sanctity of unborn life, where that life is presumed innocent of sin
You're applying religious logic there. Why is "unborn" life presumed innocent of sin, especially since so much of it causes death and injury worldwide?
I wouldn't - team identification comes along with demonizing the other team and viewing them as evil.
Why? Ever play sports? Team identification comes from everyone being in the same group and associating with each other. Evil never comes into play. That Republicans made it an us or them, and "them" are evil baby killing communists, and you aren't one of those, are you? splits back in the 80s is something else.
.... That's only possible because the American left has convinced itself that the American right is evil*.
* - Gross generalization doesn't apply to everyone or even a majority, but does apply to many thought leaders and people driving the respective movements.
I'd say it applies to so few as to be negligible. I'm not even sure I'd categorize those holding those views as really being American left. Either that, or I don't know a single person on the left. I do know lots of people that think the far right (alt-right, nazis, neo-nazis, KKK, etc) are pretty evil. You'd have to front an argument for why that view is incorrect. That the GOP have flirted with going there is only the responsibility of the GOP. It's one reason moderates are a shrinking percentage of the party.
I used to think the cat allergy thing was overblown, until I met someone with a real cat allergy. They can handle being around a cat for an hour or two, but after that, the effects become noticeable to others. The extra vacuuming helps some, but not as much as you'd expect.
As for the peanut allergy, I'd say it's up to the people themselves to deal with it. Same with shellfish. You don't see everyone running around like nuts restricting shellfish everywhere. Have a nut allergy, don't eat nuts. It's a first world problem because severe (nut) allergies result in child mortality in the third world.
The vast majority of people aren't rational in their political beliefs. They belong to a team, and whatever the team believes is what they believe.
That sums up the situation very well. I wish I still had mod points.
You can't believe different things from me because you have different experiences and values, it's because you are evil.
I'd disagree with this statement. It's become more "my team believes the exact opposite of your team, and its part of my fundamental belief system" Note that both parties have planks strongly tied to religion, although one has gone much further than the other. For instance, Republicans: anti-abortion, Democrats: anti-death penalty. Rationally, you cannot be anti-abortion (sanctity of life) and pro capital punishment but the Republicans manage it, because it's against one of the Democratic planks. And they've used it liberally in campaigns when it suits them.
I'm building across 3 current codebases, and 2 different environments, and 1 change takes about 20 minutes to propagate. Releases, OTOH, are a different story, and may take 3 days, but that's not done for every single change.
That may or may not be part of it - guaranteed obsolescence, but then again, that's pretty much guaranteed within 5 years anyways, if the damaged screens, cases or internals from dropping or soaking don't kill them first. It also allows more freedom in design, where it doesn't have to fit a cube of x dimensions with connectors on the wrong side. Just squeeze it into place, a little elasticity won't kill it, and done. Now if they would allow you to swap it out....
The first thing the media should stop doing is calling them "alt-right". Call them Nazis and stop being PC. Now see if those neighbors are still sympathetic.
That will almost certainly make them more sympathetic, because it will reinforce everything they already believe about the MSM. Progressives are called "communists" by Fox News. Does that make you less sympathetic toward progressives? Or does it make you feel Fox News is not credible?
Given the facts, Fox will report a story (read that very literally) Fox is to news what what a Shakespearean damsel in distress was to the queen of England.
Clue: They weren't going to vote democrat before this weekend either.
I think you are dead wrong. There are many Trump voters that are sympathetic to progressive issues like economic justice, access to healthcare, and less inequality in education. But they also feel the Democrats are insulting their heritage and culture.
Trump voters? Maybe. The group of rednecks referenced up there? Not a chance, until Fox news and the like are taken off the air and the poisonous swill they peddle has had time to be diluted to a point that rational thought can once again take hold.
The dems and everyone with moderate right through the left leanings aren't insulting their culture nor heritage, but sources like Fox have convinced them of that. Propaganda, and Fox is really nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece similar to USSR state media of the past, is super powerful in convincing the herd to think certain things, even if individuals may have differing opinions, the herd mentality overrides common sense. And in a dose of moral superiority reinforced by the dominant religion and pitch it as a fight for your core beliefs, we can see the outcome of the results today. Don't forget the one institution untouched by Nazis was the Roman Catholic Church. This was not accidental.
I know that the far right feels that the rest of the media is nothing more than propaganda for the left, and there's some truth to that. I don't like those aspects either. The greatest damage done to this country was the removal of the Fairness Doctrine under Reagan (finalized under Obama) I doubt we'd be as polarized if that was still in place.
...and the way the alt-right is being treated by tech companies, and portrayed by the media, is generating sympathy from them.
The first thing the media should stop doing is calling them "alt-right". Call them Nazis and stop being PC. Now see if those neighbors are still sympathetic.
they sure as heck aren't going to vote for a Democrat in 2020.
Clue: They weren't going to vote democrat before this weekend either.
The Democrats need to start focusing on real issues like healthcare and jobs,
I don't know where you've been, but the Dems have been focusing on healthcare. You may not like ACA (clue: the dems don't either) but it's a far sight better than the 8 years in the making set of Republican healthcare plans we just witnessed.
As for jobs, you don't think those just jumped out of nothing since Jan 21, right? Trump's effects haven't even really started in the jobs market. The current jobs surplus, if you're going to give a president credit for them, would be Obama. Trump hasn't even gotten any legislation passed yet, other than the Russia sanction legislation that he wanted to veto.
And at this point, I'm not sure Trump could win a vote for parade clean up crew. It will be interesting to see if his disapproval ratings top 70% this coming week.
I agree that XML is usually insanely overkill for most purposes. Still, there are worse choices than insanely overkill,
CORBA comes to mind, or EDI, both of which suck hugely for different reasons. If I never have to see either one again it will be too soon.
The real point for a heterogeneous environment is that you need to look at the basic units you have in common across all players, and then design with those limitations in mind. One of the first and major stumbling blocks for most is that the data representation may vary across the components, and some may have a concept radically different that even the minimum required by the system as a whole.
I think you misread my condescending sarcasm as it relates to this particular company being valued by some moron at over $1B with no discernible assets or revenue flow to back such a valuation. A unicorn has no value as it has no substance, nothing more than wishful thinking.
As for a.bomb that will decimate the industry, well, there's no denying a crash is imminent merely because valuations are too high with no corrections, and history shows us that the sooner such correction happens, the better off everyone will be. However, the question now is whether the valuations are really too high, or has the drop in the dollar "corrected" those valuations already? It's certainly going to soften the fall.
"unicorn" is an appropriate adjective to describe an "imaginary mythical beautiful" thing like a company with no product or assets with any valuation at all.
Wrong.
Fucking Bullshit is the appropriate adjective, since "unicorn" has done nothing to prevent idiots from investing millions of dollars into shitware, welcoming the next.bomb nightmare.
Fucking pathetic that history teaches no one.
Angry much? Have you petted your unicorn lately or collected any unobtainium?
a unicorn is a company that's valued at over $1 billion dollars, which is no small feat in today's market
Apparently, it now is...
