I saw one in real life for the first time this summer, at the Museum of Flight near Seattle. It looked beautiful of course, but the cabin was incredibly confined. Not like airlines are known for their cabin space, but I don't know if I'd take a faster trip in such a confined space over a cramped seat on a longer flight.
I currently use IPVanish. I'm pleased with the uptime and service. Every now and then I get disconnected and everything reverts to using my normal connection, which isn't very secure.
Awesome resource. Kubernetes sure is the hot thing right now, I just wish I had any excuse to use it.
Can anyone recommend a more general resource? Possibly something that covers a wider range of topics like intranets, VPNs, self-hosted servers, etc? I know someone who thinks he's all that but seriously needs to read more of this stuff.
He values private networks over SSL (as in public websites don't even have SSL), salts salts and decrypts stuff by looping through timestamps within a range close to the transmission, and more.
As a remote senior lead who's hiring developers right now, I'm making a point of telling people whether we'll consider remote or not. Unfortunately my company really wants on-site but given their location and the talent we're after... not happening.
I would say, "since the ISS". The ISS isn't as exciting as sending humans to another celestial body, but we'll never get to Mars without the lessons learned and it's an amazing feat.
I hadn't considered the benefits for dev/local instances...
I've known about Kubernetes for some time, but my current job never deploys anything that Kubernetes could improve, so I put it aside and hoped to someday get a chance to toy with it.
I've setup vagrant images pre-loaded with our app for several non-developers to use locally but it sounds like Kubernetes would be a far better way to manage those as well as staging servers.
Unfortunately my current company is 100% against third-party hosting/involvement so I couldn't even use it for staging - our stagings servers are Windows-based, ancient, and internal...

Emprise is an established nautical software and hardware company based in Ledyard, CT.
We're looking for several front-end developers with solid javascript/es6+ experience. Our application uses AngularJS (v1), lodash, html5, and scss. You'll also do a small amount of Java for server API endpoints/controllers.
I've been using Stash to invest in some EFTs. I've only put in $50 to date and will put in more since the market is doing well but I did it more as a learning experience.
What would be the best way to learn, for someone looking to invest $500+, who's never done much investing before?
Outside of ~10 shares of Starbucks stock given to me when I worked there in 2001, this has been my only experience.
P.S. Those Starbucks shared have been long-lost - somehow they moved them from Schwab to another company and no one told me where/how). I forgot about them until today.
EDIT: Looking at my docs, I bought 7 shares at $18.275 in April 2001. The stock price is $60.55 today. I need to figure out who holds these and see what I can do to reclaim them.
EDIT2: I found them. I found where the original account was, called them and got the details. Sadly, the account was marked as dormant and I learned about "Escheatment". The stocks were cashed and the amount is now held by my state and I have go through several hoops to reclaim.
I want to see an understanding of git - they have repos with appropriate commits, good commit messages, awareness of licensing, decent READMEs or info for collaborators
I want to feel like they understand how open source works - they've filed or participated in issues/discussions, they've starred/forked repos, they've opened PRs, they've managed issues/PRs on their own repos.
I want to see how they manage their projects/repos. Do they use a package manager? Do they have linting or build tools? Do they use CI? Have they kept the repo clean and ready for others? Do they use automated testing?
I don't expect to see all of this - but if someone has none of it, it's clear they have a lot to learn and aren't ready for the job.
I think Apollo 13 did a lot to show what talented engineering teams can do. They also didn't shy away from real terminology and rarely stopped to explain it. No other movie has done that in my experience.
Voyager is probably the most badass awesome thing ever.
Every single aspect of space travel is an engineering/mathematic/scientific marvel. Not only did we plan, build, launch these, (before I was born) but we're still communicating (until we can't).
I'm reading links people have posted here, trying to understand how we communicate with these probes. It's fascinating.
Several years ago we chose AngularJS/v1 for an enterprise-level app. Once Angular/v2 was announced it was still more of an experiment, but things have changed far faster than we anticipated.
Projects like ui-grid are dying and ui-bootstrap is dead and they're moving to Angular support only. We're suddenly using tech that's being abandoned a lot sooner than we foresaw.
I have my issues with Angular v2+, though overall it's way better than v1, but I truly hope the same doesn't happen to those making an investment in this new platform.
