I am dealing with similarly sized project for last 13 years. Our workflow is different though. We have continuous updates (no batch updates) when it comes to bug fixing. We use our in-house Project Management system.
- Client sends a request/bug report, our team creates new Task in our PM and - assigns it to department/programmer - programmer fixes it, tests it on Devel version puts the task to QC status - QC team tests described problem and greenlights deployment - programmer deploys/merges the fix into the live version and puts the task to Completed - QC team re-tests live version and notifies client of completed task
Although there are few levels of fixes
- trivial - we skip the QC status/QC test in the middle, programmer fixes it, tests it and deploys it with setting it to Completed which trigers QC team test and client's notification (really super trivial fixes, text typos etc.)
- complex - when developing complex new features we freeze the deployment (blocking task) of other patches while the complex task is in QC status to avoid any conflicts during subsequent deployment - QC status ensures that the problem is tested by QC team in exact state it will be deployed and there will not be competing patches deployed before this one. But it blocks other patches. This one has high priority in our PM and gets fast-tracked before every other patch.
There are many draw backs of every scenario but we try to keep healthy balance between speed/flexibility and super-stability. This yields good results. But the PM (project management) with good prioritization and tracking features is essential. It solves the problems with deployment/testing...
Now you never fully own things. They are always co-owned by sellers/IP owners... You need to share your former rights with them. You must agree how will you share the thing you bought - if you want to use it, you can, if you want to fix it, only they can, if you don't need it then you must destroy it or return (you cannot resell many things like games and such)
You don't really own things anymore. Marx is half-happy because we are half-way there!
> Google had the address on file because I had included it in my personal Google Maps settings. It did not ask my permission to share that.
Well I like those folks who enter all personal information into... and they whine "nobody asked my permission"...
Don't you know that if you feed that Internet Beast with your information it will chew it up, swallow it and transform it in a poop that you may not like? And it won't ask if it can poop your precious personal info?
By nature AI censoring (moderating or also so called recommendation systems) work on premise that only information "you/author likes" are permissible. And there is the danger because the ultimate goal is to leave only comments (ads/recommendations) that are totally in line with given topic/desire/need/view...
Now imagine the site of the fundamental extremist - in that context AI will ban all moderate comments as they will be deemed "toxic" by extremists leaving only comments supporting the fundamentalists point of view and thus driving fundamental extremists even further to maybe suicidal fatalists...
On vegan sites the AI will ban all meat-eaters. On meat-eaters sites it will ban all vegans. On communists sites it will ban all capitalists and on totalitarian sites all democrats... and as the result this type of AI (which also Facebook uses to show you posts on YOUR wall) will harden your believes and it will turn you into fundamentalist vegan, meat-eater, communist, capitalist, totalitarian, democrat... With mass deployment of this technology it will strip you off of so much needed confrontation with "the other side" that is so much important in shaping your world-view and understanding the depth. Now they are trying to make you happy by giving you only views and points you want and turning you into unchallenged extremist in your own believes.
That is the biggest threat to society so I believe it should be truly regulated because "toxic" can be easily mistaken by AI just for "the other point of view".
I bet that China LOVES this idea! No censors... just AI that will do the job in a way that it will censor unwanted content "nobody would have flagged at all". That is totalitarian dream! Great ways to put AI to use for the benefit of mankind. Mark, congratulations for your achievement.
I am sure we will hear about this technology soon but we may not like the news.
I suggest having standardized JAVA-Doc-like syntax where users can rate functions and add virtual likes/dislikes to whatever code they want.
Because what is better code then a code that does the job (nobody has to fight with it), is readable, understandable, manage-able... simply code that users (other programmers) like to use?

That way one can even identify problem parts in a code that are difficult to work - that slow down other programmers so it can be refactored...:-) I would love it. I would give my @rating thumbs up and down like crazy...
"The territorial principle (also territoriality principle) is a principle of public international law under which a sovereign state can prosecute criminal offences that are committed within its borders." [wikipedia]
I would say that those women committed the picture-crime on US-based servers - no against US law. But the policemen viewing the pictures from Iran committed the immoral thing of viewing uncovered "US-based" pictures in Iran - against Iran law. I say let's sue those indecent Iranian policeman!
By the nature of the demo it is clear what they aim at.
4 demoed transactions in 2 minutes: 1. show weather, 2. spend money on tulips, 3. spend money on hotel, 4. spend money on cab. VIV obviously stands for Valuable Information Value.

Mozilla should reinvent the browser again. Browser is what makes Mozilla. If they don't clean it up it wont be successful anywhere else. If they make it work it will span into other areas like IoT, mobile phones, cars... naturally by people willing to use it for their projects.
Trying to push broken/sluggish/buggy software beast into those areas using heavy investments of resources that Mozilla needs elsewhere is management's misstep.
I am the user of this browser since Phoenix 0.5 (not to mention Netscape before). But it is lately that I started slow migration to Chrome. It all started with inability to use debug tools properly (not working, misleading debugger, extremely slow responses) then terrible video performance on Youtube and crashes and UI freezes... The only reason I use FF on Android is because it supports extensions.
It is sad to hear something like this from myself - me, die-hard Firefox fan.
This article reads that we must procreate to preserve economic viability and competitiveness.

Infinite phenomena does not have beginning nor end. Thus it cannot be complete, it cannot be whole as it is ever growing, ever expanding,... So what is more infinite or wholeness? Does something that is whole beats/overshadows/quiets/... something that is infinite?

I would definitely add "simple". Everybody can write complex code but it takes experience and great knowledge to be able to choose the best fit for the implementation. More experience and knowledge you have more options to choose from. Beginner will usually go with the first hunch that will get complex sooner or later as he will meet challenges he didn't expect...
So yeah, simple, readable, documented, functional, consistent...
Nope. Every kid already got that. Those scientists obviously missed their childhood... otherwise they would know that the thing they discovered is known to every 6 years old child who ever tried to release air-filled balloons and watch it progressively accelerate...:-D
I hope they will get a massive grant for this discovery... to compensate for the childhood they probably never had.
Anything that claims to boost your privacy and security should not have something like pagekite included. I have just visited their home page and this is what greeted me as 2 step "linux flight plan":
Am I stupid or what? Open my root account to some website page? Flight Plan to hell. Looking forward to somebody who will hack that site to create one file there saying "rm -rf/" LOL
Sure. I understand portals and hyperlinks as Yellow Pages irl. Nobody is going to sue Yellow Pages or other newspapers because they published an address of some fraudulent business or shop with "original" goods.
And you thought that Encrypted Media Extensions coming to HTML is evil!
If NSA followed future open (read "closed") standards to protect state secrets you would not have a problem like this.
Snowden would need to deal with serious messages like "Click here to purchase one copy of 'Guide to PRISM, part 2.' from NSA for only $4.99 incl. VAT"... And of course he would be limited to share such documents only with maximum of one additional reading device. That would definitely put the uncontrolled spread of information (for the people, by the people) to the end.
Plus if "wget" was not freaking-OSS he could read something like "wget is not licensed to be run on computer NSA-1AD1-489, please purchase full version"...
If you pirate movies then you shall do it properly! No cam, webrip, telesync or other crap! All releases that does not match BRRip quality will be punishable by law!

We ask them not to spy on us and they turn it around and ask us how to spy on us so we don't consider it as spying? Are they stupid or what?
