Rule of Thumb, which might apply or not (;-D): People who think they are good usually aren't!

There are many reasons why people would come to you to ask for help or why you are more successful then colleagues. E.g. in my company we have a guy who thinks of himself as a web developer but thinks that CGI is the protocol the browser talks to the web server. It is not hard to be the best in such an environment. Don't compare yourself inside your company! Compare yourself to the rest of the world! Look on GitHub, read blogs, talk with people on software development mailing lists. If you still feel stronger than most people around you, you probably are.
They already have a small army of salespeople pushing their ad network to SMB. Extending their salespeople's product line to include 'offers' wouldn't be a huge stretch.
Nothing truly interesting & new works perfectly the first time. That's what makes it an experiment.
A co-worker's son had the offer of a summer 2015 internship with a big US insurer. The system he would have worked on had a VB (maybe VB.NET) front end to a MUMPS system. He did not take the job, for something that seemed more useful came up.

After reading through a lot of blah: http://aurelia.io/docs.html
Aw yay, I took that photo on the new homepage! It was during an editing party at the Prelinger Library in San Francisco (https://localwiki.org/sf/Prelinger_Library).

I've been a Wikipedia editor for many years, and last year I started splitting my editing work between Wikipedia and LocalWiki. There is so much I love in the places I've lived that can't fit into Wikipedia's notability/verifiability rules but is still important to me and other people who live in these places, and it's nice to have a collaborative thing to work on that is very relaxed.

So I wrote some articles about curious bits of my neighborhood in SF (https://localwiki.org/sf/Old_Mission_Police_Station for example) and then realized I should start a LocalWiki for a place I spent tons of time photographing and researching when I lived there, Isla Vista (next to UC Santa Barbara): https://localwiki.org/islavista/

Isla Vista is very interesting but doesn't have a lot of documentation of its history available online, and a lot of residents don't know much about it. It's been fun to use LocalWiki to start organizing and sharing what I've learned about it, and to get other people working with me to build a collective document that goes beyond my own perspective & interests. Also on Metafilter a couple days ago: http://www.metafilter.com/146431/An-Unincorporated-Historic-...
While I'm sure your knowledge is aggregated over many sources, are there any particularly excellent sources (books, documentaries, etc) on the history of military tactics?
You might really enjoy Leonard Susskind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3Msi1YeXQ

Is this an example of someone adding an irrelevant citation to try to add an air of authority where they have none?

Technology blogs used to be fairly significant ventures. Now there are shockingly few that are still maintained, and even those (such as Coding Horror) detail dramatic declines in readership.

Every reality goes against your garbage post. Yet still you did it. Weird. HN gets stupider by the day.

> The appeal of App Mesh for us was initially around using it to facilitate canary deployments. AWS Code Deploy does a nice job with Blue / Green deployments and that may suffice for us, but it doesn't support canary for Fargate. Is that enough reason to add the additional complexity in our stack? Not sure, looking for input.

Maybe you should write a script for this? It sounds like you're about to take on a lot of complexity for just the ability to do canary deployments when you could probably hack up a script in a day or two.

> We want to implement OIDC on the edge for some services, but App Mesh doesn't support that yet as other meshes like Ambassador, Gloo, and Istio seem to. Since App Mesh doesn't really act as a front-proxy on AWS, we'll still be using ALB to handle auth which is fine, I think. I get mixed messages about the need for JWT validation, but if so, that would need to be implemented in the app level with ALB fronting it.

JWTs are only required for client-side identity tokens (you can use opaque ids and other kinds of stuff for backends) -- it seems like you're also at the same time looking for something to take authentication off your hands? App Mesh doesn't do that AFAIK, it's only the service<->service communication that it's trying to solve.

I think it might be a good idea to make a concise need of what you're trying to accomplish here, it seems kind of over the place. From what I can tell it's:

- Ability to do Canary deployments

- The ability to shape traffic to services (?)

- Observability, with access logging

- AuthN via OIDC at the edge

A lot of meshes do the above list of things, but the question of whether it's worth adopting one just to get the pieces you don't have already (which is only #2 really, assuming you scripted up #1), is a harder question.
3M ergonomic mouse, Microsoft natural keyboard, monitor sits on a separate, lower desk behind my main work desk. I can sit up straight with my neck long and stretched and look down on the screen.

In 2008 I had very severe carpal tunnel syndrome for over a year. Then I found a clinic that had specialized in pain patients. They found out that the muscles my neck where shortened and weak. Neck is connected to shoulder is connected to arm is connect to wrists leading to my symptoms. Got a lot of exercises to lengthen and strengthen my neck. That fixed the wrist pains. Whenever they rise again I start do these exercises and it goes away.

My current construction site are the muscles that connect the legs to your hips/lower abdomen. They shorten too, due to the constant sitting position plus going by bike to work. This leads to back pains/slipped disks. Need to lengthen them as well.
Hmm, is the assumption that, because you're deploying an instance of the mesh as close to the application as possible, you don't need robust logic between the application and the service mesh? I can buy that I suppose.
It is very political because those rules are interpreted and applied to humans. We all use our best judgment to determine how to apply and govern forums we mod or admin.

But what you're doing is conflating 'political' with 'current social issues'. Those are two entirely separate things and while current social issues are political, not everything political relates to current social issues. Forums fit the use of the word political to a tee no matter the definition you use.

Which is really the greater issue I see here on HN and across the various tech communities. As I've mentioned it is impossible for your group to be apolitical because at best that just means you agree with the status quo which is a political stance in itself.
I'm not surprised. Rural areas are almost worse than you'd infer from the photographs in that article. 10 years ago, few people would have outside lighting on more than a few hours a night. Now, you can't even drive through most places without seeing high intensity lighting mounted to telephone poles near residential zones.

I live about 10-15 miles from the nearest decent-sized town, and I've seen this change. Tons of people moving into these areas, and the first thing they do is install (or pay the electric coop to install) outdoor lighting. As per one of the other posters, it's almost always that obnoxious 6000K+ color lighting that's blue-white enough to hurt your eyes. And I used to whine about the sodium lamps...

My state has light pollution laws under the Dark Skies Act. Good luck getting it enforced since most of the astronomers who lived here have either moved or died.
> Thus far, the company has not given a reason for the closure of the MIPS Open Initiative - nor explained why it has opted to do so with immediate effect, rather than giving those who had begun building around the architecture fair warning of its plans

It is disappointing when a company won't publicly explain the reasons behind its decisions. It doesn't impress.
Aside from the fact that ancient Egyptians were not Arabs, mainstream history and archaeology no longer consider the Exodus described in the Bible to be a real historical event.

Here's one article about this, from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz:

https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium.MAGAZINE-for-yo...

> [The Exodus] never happened. For decades now, most researchers have agreed that there is no evidence to suggest that the Exodus narrative reflects a specific historical event. Rather, it is an origin myth for the Jewish people that has been constructed, redacted, written and rewritten over centuries to include multiple layers of traditions, experiences and memories from a host of different sources and periods.

How hard is it to write 10 books and not be successful?

Not very, depending on your definition of "10 books." It's a commonplace that writers need to write about a million words of bad fiction before they start writing fiction others might want to read. I think the curve is about as steep in nonfiction. You can read more about my own adventures in this field via this post: http://jseliger.com/2010/12/09/why-unpublished-novelists-kee... .
Wall Street is large, and there are many types of firms there. Technology is a lot more important in a lot of Wall Street firms now than they used to, and, at the hedge fund I used to work at, programmers were the first class citizens and made many of the large decisions. The startup type is the perfect fit for these places - they want people who, with little management, can make innovative tools from scratch that will earn the place millions of dollars. And they pay a lot of money for this kind of person.
Good on you for actually trying. :-)
You, sir, are a master of nuanced satire. Kudos.

It would be in GameStop's best interests to do so.

After all, he's still on the hook for all but $10 of the purchase price. If I were GameStop I'd get a camera crew together and make this some good press for a $10 "loss".

Marketing like this doesn't get cheaper than $10.
that would be awesome, thanks.
And at $700/month it would take her nearly 12 years to pay the loan off. I'm guessing math isn't one of her strong suits either.

Some other thoughts:

1) Preventative maintenance on large units is planned 5-6 years out and in Texas typically takes place in the fall/winter as that is the lowest demand.

2) These units cannot be brought up (quickly at least).

3) Severe winters like these in Texas are extremely rare. Homes have been built for the conditions that have existed up to now. For example, I grew up in Houston and then moved to the PNW later in life. I experienced snow a total of two times while living in Houston and they were really more like glorified ice storms. I can remember Dallas and north Texas getting bigger, colder storms but even then they weren't awful.
Web server programming is inherently multithreaded. I'm not sure if that's a convincing answer, but web performance is definitely a common rationale to use .NET or Java over Python or JS.
I love the developer experience of Dokku!

That said, I would be very nervous to advocate using Dokku for any critical production systems. Are my fears ill founded? Or if not, is there any roadmap to making Dokku production-stable? How can people help?
I'm old and clueless. Is proof of stake related to anonymity in any way? I read something about dealers in contraband switching from btc to monero among others for that reason.
Yes! But only after there is a living community.
Beautiful site, John. Well done.
This article got it almost right. Copyright notices aren't required but are generally recommended because they prevent an "innocent infringer" defense. Basically, courts will be unwilling to reduce damages if infringer argues that he/she didn't know the work was copyrighted.

Also, in the U.S. under federal law, copyright isn't granted upon creation of a work but rather upon its fixation. So thinking up a poem and speaking it isn't enough; you actually need to write it down or record it.
Like other social sciences, software engineering is an under-specifiable domain for double-blind studies. TopCoder might be a good example of how far you can take it. It provides a wealth of interesting comparisons that extend to the group of engineers that want to go do TopCoder, across the platforms that TopCoder supports. But it's a little artificial environment and doesn't tell you much about collaboration.

The other problem is that there's more variety and less consensus in judging the work of creative human thought than there is in something like focus group response to commercial messages, or even response to sociolinguistic cues. So all the results of your studies on software have high entropy.
FWIW, I think XMPP solves problems in a completely horrible way. It's ridiculously over engineered, verbose, needlessly complex, overly extensible to the point of absurdity.

It totally makes sense to create a concise, specific protocol to solve a specific problem when appropriate. Learn from the hundreds of mistakes that were made in the 90s and early 2000s when all this X* came out.
Well it shows that bash has the ability to customise the tab completion. I think this is a new feature of bash. Before that file-completion was hardcoded in.
I'm ignorant to what XMPP is (aside from it being an XML-based messaging protocol). Could you enlighten me as to why this is a terrible idea?

To someone like me of minimal intelligence and experience,
it seems to be a reasonable (and kind of clever) choice.

Thanks in advance.

Imagine you are a legislator in the US. You are one of 535 people who pass the laws that effect every industry and group of the country. How arrogant would it be to assume that you can make good decisions about a certain industry or group, without actually talking to representatives from that group?

Now imagine you're a key figure in an industry, such as, say, the internet industry, and you have opinions about things, such as, say, net neutrality. How foolish would it be for you not to attempt to influence the decision makers by providing them with your view of the issue?

This is what lobbying is. It has nothing to do with free speech, and everything to do with information flow. You certainly would never outlaw it.

Well, no. In 2008 the endowment payout would be much lower. The foundation would have to choose to grant a significant amount of the principle to the operating fund.
As part of my PhD, I developed a Maple package for deriving FEM element matrices from first principles. My supervisor, despite years of work related to FEM and having done a lot of Maple programming didn't understand a lot of my code as I used some Maple techniques he had never seen. Even after co-authoring a conference paper on it he still doesn't understand the details.

Sometimes, it can be the tools we use that end up forcing one into poor practices. Maple supports doing multiple substitutions if you pass it a list, but I found that if you had enough, it would just ignore part of the list. So, I had to code a workaround that looped through the substitutions one at a time.

My supervisor was very meticulous about verifying results. So, I verified my code against various known analytical solutions and showed good convergence.

So often I saw the same thing as you that the code is written for a single project and never run again (I've written code like that), so the attitude becomes why spend too much time on it?

Of course, Maple, Matlab, and Mathematica's interactive environments don't help matters as you're often working through the problem and then turning that session into a function or a script.
In case you haven't heard of Serial (http://serialpodcast.org), it is a podcast that dives deep into the minutiae of the fifteen year old homicide case.

she was coerced to withdraw

"Ms. Groves was removed from the university’s cheer team. She then withdrew from the school under pressure from admissions officials, who told her they had received hundreds of emails and phone calls from outraged alumni, students and the public."
This is way off topic, but I’m very curious to the outcome of the Rittenhouse trial. There is no doubt he killed those people. There are multiple videos of it. Whether or not the court finds it falls under ‘reasonable’ self defense according to Wisconsin law will be interesting.

They will have to decide that he A) He used only the force necessary to prevent or terminate interference with his person. And B) He reasonably believed that such force was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself.

I've done something similar at work, primarily to generate random data that'll pass our validation checks (real cities, valid SSN, etc).

It seems strange to me that the email address and usernames in the samples are based on a person's name, but they're different from the user's actual name.

I chose to just take the name, and transform it for the email address. I think some consistency will make it easier to test that the right user data shows up in the right places while testing.
This reads like @ProfJeffJarvis wrote it
Eh? how is this even possible considering that India did not sign the NPT also considering that technically in that weird hate-love 4 way between Russia, India, China and Pakistan the US is historically been supporting Pakistan while India had closer relations with Russia.

The NPT thing alone is like the US openly providing nuclear technology to Israel, or building nuclear reactors in Iran.

Not to mention that even tho this is purely "civilian"(like that thing actually exists) nuclear technology it sure will make Pakistan nervous, and when either India or Pakistan gets nervous Russia and China get on alert.

If the US actually opens trading in nuclear technology with a non NPT signatory what will prevent Russia from doing the same with N. Korea or what will prevent Iran from boasting see the Americans selling nuclear tech to a "rogue state" why can't we buy it as a NPT signatory?

This is either a very misquoted or misguided story, or a one big FU from the US to one of the most important treaties of the 20th century.
Even if it was a democracy, the problems with it wouldn't automatically be fixed.

People talk about democracy as if it was some magic pixie dust that makes everything better. But democracies have their own problems, and in order for them to work at their best they have to have the participation of an educated, well-informed, engaged elecotrate, among a host of other things. Needless to say, Wikipedia does not have that. And even if it did, its problems still wouldn't automatically be solved because even working democracies can make mistakes.

I'm not saying I have the answer or know of a perfect system of government (for Wikipedia or anything else), but democracy isn't automatically the answer.

ad 1. I'm not sure if this is the case for gmail but when you use a spam filter that is fed by many people there is a chance that you're classification of that mail as spam affects other people. If you use some sort of self-adapting, learning spam filter, you will be affected too because you mark mail as spam that looks like normal mail.

To put it simple: the spam button is for spam = unwanted mass mails, mostly ads. For unwanted mail from specific users, you should create a filter.

My personal take on this though is: People who found out how to subscribe to a mailing list, should also be able to unsubscribe.
Given that English in its earliest intelligible form is a merger between Old English and Norman French, I'm not really sure what English with loan words removed would sound like. Probably like Beowulf, and I'm sure I couldn't understand it.

English is a great language (though a very hard one to learn) precisely because it's cobbled together from bits of other languages. If another language has a word for a concept we're missing then we just acquire the word.

So if your friend gets drunk on tequila and vodka and eats too much foie gras and winds up with a tattoo of a voodoo shaman holding a katana in a sauna dancing the hula with a walrus then by all means you can feel schadenfreude about it.
What I do is to ignore the gas gauge completely. I keep track of the miles driven. My driving is fairly consistent, and I know the rated capacity of my fuel tank, so I can fairly easily determine when I should fill up based on how many miles I have driven.
