And also Ackoff's talks on Systems Thinking:
From their faq: https://serenata.ai/en/faq/
1 - We were inspired by the Toblerone Affair, a case in which a Swedish politician was pushed to resign after being caught paying simple Toblerone chocolate bar with public money. That’s what we want to do: empower social control of public expenditures including values as low as a chocolate bar.
When I average the year, I have been having more productive years more or less consistent. Like the global warming, the year that wasn't really productive was still higher than the least productive year before the last peak.
Well, with all that said, some patterns seemed clear to me:
1 - Societal overload: that place and country you live directly affect your productivity. I lived for many years in the biggest city of a 3rd World country, where the government works daily to make your life miserable and hard. The moment I moved to Europe, I had a surge of productivity because those "little" things that rob you of your energy were gone: the violence, the crappy infrastructure, and a technology market generations behind than the 1st World.
2 - Peers Level: being the ugliest among the pretty is better than being the prettiest among the ugly. When you are the least good among very competent engineers you have a lot of opportunities to learn from people that know more and better than you. You become a sponge of methods that can help you to work better and faster.
3 - Reused experience: The best world scenario is to be a generalist and be able to work on whatever is thrown at your hands because you are clever and skilled. However, it doesn't mean that you can't get really skilled and experienced in some aspect of your craft. For instance, through the years I become an expert on bootstrapping greenfield projects and prepare to hand them over to a team that will look after them. This has been invaluable and my longest days streak happened in this situation.
4 - Keep reassessing your toolset all the time: we tend to feel comfortable and confident with the tools we know how to use. That's fine. But keep an eye open to new technologies. There might be one new technology that solves (or attempts to solve) some fundamental problem that you daily face - that if it didn't exist, you would be even more productive.
5 - Manage your attention: nowadays we live in a world perfected to steal your attention. Learn how to manage it effectively. You can't be productive if you are distracted or constantly interrupted.
I hope it helped you. (PS: HN is a huge attention stealer.)
The on-prem part is really neat.
Disclaimer: I work at StrongDM.
Edit: fixed typo
It does work also with Java lambda apps, you can import them straight from AWS Lambda API using the CLI app.
I have the feeling it is pointless keeping such map from the perspective of Brexit. Soon Scotland will be off of Eu, and all these businesses will be facing very different realities in short time. I would refrain make business with companies with whom I'd face more taxes or red tape just because their countries would left the EU.
So what are we trying to do here? Explore more the Scottish market? The soon-to-be limited UK market?
I am lost. Could someone explain it to me?
---- Hey Nanch,
The engine itself is no longer my copyright.
The plugin though is mine. I, hereby, transfer to you the copyright of the sublime-phpfmt and its derivatives.
Therefore, sublime-phpfmt and its derivatives copyright are yours, David Nanch.

I mentioned the engine also. fmt.phar is not part of this transfer. So you still have problems, only not with me.
Hey all,
We're looking for Operations engineers to work on large scale distributed systems at Iron.io HQ in San Francisco. We're the makers of IronMQ (our cloud message queue) and IronWorker (our asynchronous task execution service).
Here are some fancy numbers to describe us:
* IronWorker has scheduled and launched over 1,100,000,000 Docker containers to date since we started using Docker (see http://blog.iron.io/2014/10/docker-in-production-what-weve-l... for more))
* All of those containers run 3rd party code on behalf of our customers
* We execute over 500k process hours worth of user code per month
* We serve over 5 billion API requests/month
* We run services in many regions across multiple cloud providers
Here's our StackOverflow company page with more details about us. (check https://careers.stackoverflow.com/company/iron-io)
If you're interested in the job, send email to jim+opshn@iron.io with:
* Your Github handle
* Your resume or description of your experience and projects
* A short description of your favorite operations related project and why it's interesting
