These are things like lucid dreaming, artificial intelligence, utopian movements, and Esperanto. I'm mostly fine with boring the normals and living in the Vibrant True World of Beauty with its other full-on dork denizens. One of the things that holds my kinsmen together, though, is an unfortunate thing: they are all asses. They decimate the chances of their ideas' success by offending everyone they meet, making it look like being happy and having friends are suspicious, counterrevolutionary behaviors. I would propose that sacrificing some smaller truths in your day-to-day interactions is the only way for the greater truth to prevail</li>

As an engineer, you may be more interested in getting on with your job than compensation. However, if you&rsquo;re working at a fast growing startup, with a little luck and the right planning you can walk away from a liquidity event with a significant amount of money. This guide is an attempt to correct some of the imbalance in information between companies and employees, and explain in plain English the whole stock option process.</li>

<li>] <a href="http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2014/05/01/modern-java/" target="_blank">An Opinionated Guide to Modern Java Development, Part 1</a>&nbsp;by Ron, 2014-05-01 -&nbsp;Java is a blue-collar language &ndash; the working person&rsquo;s trusty tool &ndash; adopting only tried and true idioms, and adding features only if they solve major pain points. Whether or not Java has stayed true to its mission or not is an open question, but it certainly tries not to let current fashions sway it too far off course. Java has been used to write code for anything from smart-cards, through embedded devices, and all the way to mainframes. It is even being used to write mission- and safety-critical hard realtime software.</li>

<li>]&nbsp;<a href="http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2014/05/15/modern-java-pt3/" target="_blank">An Opinionated&nbsp;Guide&nbsp;to Modern Java, Part 3</a>&nbsp;- by Ron - 2014-05-08 &nbsp;After playing with modern Java code in part 1, and exploring deployment, management, monitoring and benchmarking of JVM applications in part 2, it is time to delve into modern Java web development.I take &ldquo;modern&rdquo; to mean &ldquo;in accordance with current general software development trends&rdquo;. These trends aren&rsquo;t completely arbitrary, and they are consistent with one another. The birth of a very large number of small, young, fast-moving startups, has given rise to a preference of lean development approaches. Those require easier onboarding, fewer installation, deployment and configuration steps, and a convergence of the roles of development and operations.</li>

Centering what's inside a div is easy enough by giving the text-align property a value of center, but then things tend to get a bit sticky. When you get to centering a div vertically, you can end up in a world of CSS hurt.The aim of this article is to show how, with a few CSS tricks, any div can be centered; horizontally, vertically or both. And within the page or a div.</li>

What's the relationship between, say, the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) that you hear about that "just works" and the seemingly unrelated DevOps concept of Service Discovery? When does it make sense to use a non-AWS solution (e.g. using nginx instead of an ELB)? My goal in this guide is both to answer these questions, and, more importantly, provide an overall framework you can use to think about how to answer these questions.&nbsp; Points(529) <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8926316" target="_blank">Comments</a>(129)</li>

By that measure, I&rsquo;d argue that it&rsquo;s also the most misunderstood version control system in the world. This statement probably doesn&rsquo;t ring true straight away because on the surface, Git is pretty simple. It&rsquo;s really easy to pick up if you&rsquo;ve come from another VCS like Subversion or Mercurial. It&rsquo;s even relatively easy to pick up if you&rsquo;ve never used a VCS before. Everybody understands adding, committing, pushing and pulling; but this is about as far as Git&rsquo;s simplicity goes.
