A lot of people are using immigration issues to argue for brexit. Personally I hate this. I'm generally for immigration. There is a positive vision for brexit, which about being open to the world, embracing free trade, free movement of

I think Brexit also has a potential to make the UK better for trade. simplifying regulations and instead of thinking European, thinking global.

Is fire able to follow an algorithm? I mean some creative person could probably make a computer out of using fire.

by UK-AL 10y ago
Being able to follow an algorithm, a set of steps(parallel or in series) to reach a result. The brain has input, goes through various connections, and you end up with a result.

A computer is something that computes. Doesn't really matter how it does it.

"But if you just started a new project and you are still in a constant state of change then a large test suite will slow you down because you have to adapt all your tests all the time. In the worst case you might even stop to improve y

Just because it doesn't store it the way traditional pc's do, doesn't mean its not a computer.

"Provocatively naive - does anyone nowadays really think the brain Works like a computer? " It's the most widely accepted theory. It's just not computer in the way you think a computer works.

He has a very limited definition of a "computer". His description is how modern computers work. But that's not strictly what a computer could be. When people compare a computer to a brain. They are not saying it's like a

They still believe that they are tools. The goal is working software, they're just overusing design patterns.

by UK-AL 10y ago
I agree. It should be obvious. I don't know anyone who believes design patterns are the goals.

How hell does code review encourage those behaviours? The best commits for code review are small ones. Nobody can be bothered with the big ones.

The easiest is just fix it, even though its annoying. Slightly clearer comments isn't a bad thing? Why not fix it in the two seconds it takes to. No one's going to repremanded or promoted on code reviews. Im a senior dev(ops) and

It can still be an issue. It would still be a disaster if in the first year, the database got corrupt or hacked? Lone developers might tempted just to setup database without setting up a backup solution and HA. Amazon has that at click of a

I didn't mean issue with it in a bad way. Just that a lot operational people noticed it was trend occurring and adapted to it. They didn't avoid it. As a DevOps can you develop code to automate things, like deployment, builds, ci,

I would want a developer who knows the best practice keeping the ciphersuite up to date and understands stuff like client side certificates if they going to work on any security conscious application.

What a myth here, whats garbage? If you look at the early history of devops, a lot of it was developers who had previous infrastructure experience and roles writing software for automating deployment, and sever creation. It sounds to be me

I never said replace, just augment. You may need fewer, but you still need people to monitor, deploy and orchestrate these different services. At the end of the day the extra cost is going toward hiring engineers at the hosters side for man

Running your own stuff becomes more expensive when you want monitoring, Load Balancers, HA, VPN's into your corporate network and constant database backups. And then making it really robust. Hiring all the staff for that can be expensi

But web developers should know how SSL works anyway. Otherwise your probably not a great developer. I defiantly learned about SSL, and pki infrastructure through developer knowledge.

I didn't realise I was offensive, sorry. If operations is moving towards being automated by software it's only natural to want to move more towards programming side. I'm not saying this a bad thing, only natural. If infrastru

Originally yes, it was about being more cross functional instead of separate silo's. However operations people had an issue with that(not in a bad way, just observing where stuff is going), and decided to obtain devops skills. So you e

Minimum wage has got to have impact on jobs at a certain point. If you set minimum wage at 50 USD an hour, there will be job losses. The question is, what is the point where you start encountering job losses?
