   The spec you linked to is dated Apr 2013. Jolt's first release was in Feb 2013.

   The readme is more up-to-date than GitHub pages. It answers some of the questions in the comments. https://github.com/bazaarvoice/jolt

   This, absolutely. I'm actually surprised the government showed their hand so soon. There must be a lot of money in Bitcoin already. The government WANTS people to go 100% digital with their capital. It is infinitely easier to track dig

   This seems like a security nightmare. I sincerely hope there's a way to just turn off "offline experience" in Chrome before service workers become widespread. The browser is a dangerous place to execute software. I suppose na

   I'm not sure I understood your comment. I agree there's a shortage of quality developers, but sometimes that's a result of an influx of newcomers. Maybe you can elaborate on this connection (or lack thereof) between CS and JS

   This article is interesting, but in case you're like me and read comments before articles to get a tl;dr, this article is about web design. I was personally hopeful it was about managing teams or projects, which does have analogous l

   This is awesome! Has this become your full time gig, or is it still not enough to replace a salary?

    Thanks. I didn't expect this particular tool would work. I am diagnosing a performance issue on hosts using HVM virtualization (where instead of being better than paravirtualization, it is actually markedly worse); if there was a tool

    Good point, I glossed over that. I'm not sure I understand your interpretation properly, though. My interpretation was they took all of the transaction times, divided them by the total number of transactions, and then divided that numb

    Meanwhile, Walmart can increase profits by simply hiring fewer workers (or laying off more). Allegedly, in 2012, Walmart was spending $12MM per second of transaction time in cashier wages alone[1]. [1] http://www.reuters.com&

    I find this to be just a little bit oversimplified. Indeed, I find that learning on a daily basis keeps me employed, whether I am physically in the office or not, or what time of day it is. So, learning may be about your current salary -- k

    This was a good read. As a DevOps Engineer at a company that does not have a distinct Ops department, who's also a Tech Lead, I have some thoughts I'd like to share. First, while the ultimate goal of any engineer (even not among t

    Over much time, I have learned that my personal feelings about productivity and my actual contribution are wildly different. This is because my sentiment toward work I want to do and my actual work can be different. This really is tangentia

    Some great points here. I'm on mobile but will try to respond to them all. If your open floor plan does not have plenty of huddle rooms or jump in rooms for private conversations, as well as plenty of single-person focus rooms, then yo

    Thanks for your comment and advice! It gives me the idea that I should perform a self-study. I can take two weeks "off" and work in complete isolation (during actual engineering time) and compare my productivity to the norm. I exp

    If you are at CTO rank and were previously an engineer, then you've already accomplished your goal and know interruptions on a constant basis are part of the job. That was my argument. Your rebuttal is a straw man: I make no claims as

    Thanks for asking! Actually, although my official role is DevOps engineer, I spend 90% of my time writing application code. I am part of an engineering team and simply consult the team on operations. This is how we do DevOps at my place of

    I really don't understand the sentiment against open floor plans. A little over 4 years ago, I switched from private offices and cubicles to an open floor plan. It's... Just so much better. I'm an introvert. I don't real

    I found this statement intriguing as well. I work at a company where compensation is deliberately above market, if slightly, as a matter of business. It's also an incredible place to work. I don't think it is unilaterally factual

    This reminds me of Burger King's subservientchicken.com, except theirs was prerecorded video. This is way cooler.

    I agree with this except for two cases, which I would LOVE counter arguments for. Case 1: checked exceptions. This is what Java used heavily in the early days, a bit less today, which basically requires you to deal with known exception scen

    Static code analysis and a good IDE make this point considerably less important. For example, duplicating code is not nearly as expensive in my Spring (Java) application as it is in that shiny Nodejs webapp. It's still important, but s

    Are there any good resources for managing feature flags like this? I am currently using Netflix Archaius and it's working great, but I find it's easy to forget what values are set or what flags exist. Over time, it's easy to

    At my company, we call the department "People and Talent," but it's colloquially known as "PeepOps" here. Company is about 800 people and publicly traded.
