I think it's more than that. You wouldn't commit code that doesn't compile. Your entire organization, however, will troubleshoot the code that fails on runtime in production.
I entirely disagree with this view. If you look at the period of employment, the need for protection takes up a minute moment.
It is more likely that the owners wanted to recruit great talent, have someone whos mission is to create a nice everyday environment, help spot and train leadership or any other number of things that the HR professionals, I've had the pleasure of meeting in my career, are great at and care about.
Between large evil corporations and tiny lean teams, there are variety of companies where a HR professional can help you make it or break it.
It's definitely possible. JRebel for Android [1] has been available for quite some time now with none of the limitations on what kind of changes are supported. Will they get it stable? Time will tell.
Have you taken a look at Chocolatey and OneGet? I've been an avid Windows user as I grew tired of resolving Linux issues daily, and haven't really missed anything. Chocolately + ConEmu + Git for Windows (comes with ssh and most of the unix tools) + PowerShell for more complex scripts.
We're trying out Apache Spark with Apache Zeppelin and it's been a pleasure so far. We faced the same problems that everyone else mentioned here -- data is not accessible to people who need it and every datasource requires different tools.
What we like about Apache Spark is that it can take any source and provide the same very fast and programmatic (code reuse!) interface for analysis. Think JSON data dumps from MixPanel, SQL databases, some Excel spreadsheet someone threw together etc.
Apache Zeppelin is a little bit limited in the visualization that comes out of the box, but the benefits of having a shared data language across the company is just such a huge plus. Also, super easy to add data visualization options and hopefully companies will start to contribute these back to the project.
Honestly, I've looked at the interface and hate it. This mantra of "developers know best" in OSS is killing software. Consult a junior UX designer and you'll end up with something much much better.
If you look at it from the perspective of the entire species instead of an individual, it makes sense. Reproduce with the strongest genes possible. So if the body sees that this particular individual doesn't handle certain substances well, it terminates the line and avoids spreading that particular weakness in the species.
Wow, gitignore is an OSS project?! Didn't know this. Are you looking for collaborators? Love your project and have been looking for something to tinker with on free time. Kudos for great work!
If we consider that this new form (humans) has annihilated countless of species and might kill the entire planet soon, imagine what the next logical step in the evolution might be capable of.
I love the approach Weekdone has taken. It's more of a two-way communication thing than Impraise, which is more top to bottom. Any thoughts on comparison?
Essentially, you can't really force these skills on kids. These things happen on individual pace for every kid out there. Some are better at art, some are better at speech, some are better at math and some learn to read earlier than others. That's why the school starts when it starts. By that time development seems to even out across the board.
It's not so much about in which scenarios it works or not, it's worked pretty well for people for a few years now. It's about how much magic you want in a production environment. Cluster dance gets the same net gain and is universally used everywhere. LiveRebel just takes care of orchestrating that out of the box and in synch with rest of the release aspects.
What you are missing is not the storage considerations, but tying the application to I/O. Too often I set out to find the bottlenecks in a high load application and find out that the logging is the bottleneck yet again.
