I'm to good to work at company X

That's not what I was implying. Any article titled "How to land a job at X" should probably go into a bit of detail about why X is a desirable place to work, learn, and grow as a developer. The article doesn't explain at all why Microsoft would be such a such a place, instead jumping straight to the conclusion about how to get a job there.
The windows and office company still has the worlds greatest minds? There's no working web office, they threw their mobile efforts away. They disbanded their browser team. What makes you think they're smart?
The article reads like Microsoft paid them to write it.
Probably because if I'm adobe, I make money off people buying new versions of my software and I don't want to rely on some packaging system I don't have full control over to push people to upgrade. I want to be able to upsell the hell out of my users right from within my app.
So is 1 mort a guaranteed death or a [edit:] 1 - 1/e chance of death?
It’s fair, as I mention in the blogpost there are some failures that are a bit obvious for sure. Mostly I think I tried to fit too many things into one “hotdog” category including chili dogs, chicago dogs, bunless hotdogs, cut up hotdogs, even octopus-cut hotdogs, etc. I think it caused the network to over-generalize on shapes & colors. Definitely would do things differently next time! And great work on the puns :)
Thank you, that matches the way I think about it.

The example of racism cuts to the heart of it. What do people mean by "racism is bad"? When you say "Arthur regularly says negative things about black people" or "Cindy only hires other white people", you've said something much more meaningful than "Arthur and Cindy are racist".

You can't always include such details, and sometimes you want to say your point vaguely so that you can move on to the more important part. But awareness makes you look out for places where you do it inadvertently, or because you haven't clarified your own thoughts well.
No, because that was their risk to take in starting a business and if it fails the worst position they are in is the exact position their employees were always in. Businesses should have no guarantees, individual people on the other hand probably should, if not for moral or ethical reasons, just for the fact that it improves our economy, our culture, and out entire society.

Artificially supporting failing businesses has negative consequences upon society, supporting a struggling individual has positive benefits to society.
Throwaways are important for being able to discuss opinions you might not want to on your main. Treating them as unacceptable worsens the quality of discussion here.

I somewhat agree with the point they made and this is not a throwaway if that helps.
> [...] and then my computer connects to a fallback reasonably trusted by my distribution or otherwise won’t function, then I’d rather have it function.

I'd rather have it not function, because that way I know something is wrong.

If something breaks somewhere on my network, but my experience stays 'the same', I may miss the fact that something broke because of this 'magic' that occurs behind my back.

If I'm surfing the web, and my browsers hangs with "Looking up news.ycombinator.com..." or returns and error with "Cannot resolve/find server with name example.com.", then I know to start digging into things.
What's the relevance of journalism? It's not a lucrative industry and neither are individual journalists well-paid.
Difference of opinion, I think 200 miles is plenty of range even for most 1 car families.

That is basically 1 stop from LA to vegas, and 1-2 stops from LA to San Francisco.

I'd like to see focus on lowering the base cost of Teslas, and the lower the range target the easier to get there.
If this is the case, how come the entry level job market for CS graduates stink so much?
I've been wrestling with this quality in a technical sense for quite some time.

Take for instance IP. IP was designed to be decentralized. And "End to End Arguments in System Design" piled on and led to UDP, further disintermediating sysadmins and their kernels. And we all felt that energy when we discovered the Internet, that magic hope of building new systems that served ourselves with voluntary peer to peer interactions.

But all of this was a bit fallacious, in that there is nothing forcing parties to follow a protocol's guidelines, rather than taking things "as they are" and acting in their own self interest. "I"SPs have deployed DPI gear and transparent proxying, GeoIP providers have forced some implicit notion of location onto every IP address, piracy surveillance firms legally harass people running small routers, etc. Ultimately there was nothing built into the protocol that would prevent these things happening and so they did, despite that boundless world we felt when it was fresh.

Think of how difficult these attacks would have been if most packet fields had been protected with encryption and addresses were based on source routing (onion, of course). Obviously that would have necessitated different technique requirements, and perhaps failed in different ways, but you can see what I'm getting at. There are modern overlay networks that do these things, but since their users are a minority of all users, it is easy to block them outright.

FWIW I see the same thing with Bitcoin and its lack of the untraceability property. How long until the financial control industry ("money laundering") invents a parallel source of truth, and progressively gets it enforced at the exchanges?
> I wonder if there's something similar for the ssh_host_key ...

There is, since version 6.8 (~6 years ago) [0].

Make sure you have "UpdateHostkeys" set to "yes" (or "ask") on the client side. It was off by default when it was first added but I think I remember reading at some point that it changed to enabled by default.

Why does Reddit really need 99% availability? Is a customer unduly harmed or is the world even worse off if Reddit is down for a couple cumulative days per year? Is it worth the cost? Would you put up with more ads and/or pay for Reddit in order to make sure that it's available 24/7/365?
What gets me about many of these articles is how broad a brush they often use when describing "the education bubble." And so I appreciate that this article at least gestures at different types of grad school, and how student/consumer demand may be decreasing.

But I'd to read more about specific bad "educational investment" decisions, and what makes these decisions bad, as a way of prescribing better pathways for students sizing up their college or grad school options. Specifically, what are the bigger competing opportunities that should entice these "kids" away from educational debt and opportunity cost? Thiel's program can only be a very small part of the re-balancing act, I think.

Point me in the right direction if you've already read it...
I'd like to point out that the initial comment said something along the lines of hi I'm part of the computer science community and I make unconventional sounds you might like. I only changed it after it was ostracized to reflect the reality of our disconnection.
The service was designed to isolate trust to only secondary login verification via a user-enrolled device. If any part of the system (including the user's phone) were to be compromised or disabled, an attacker would still need to have stolen your primary credentials to log in.

The choice of being locked out or not on Duo failure is a configuration option ("failmode"), with a fail-safe default.

In any usable system, security is never absolute, but a calculated abatement of risk (you still use HTTPS anyway, right? ;-). Two-factor auth protects against the most common path to account takeover today (credential theft), and Duo's approach intends to make it actually usable and deployable.
Yet another pundit giving an use to the North Carolina data center.

>You cannot say "The Linus rant about C++ is just wrong". You need to first blather on about why Linus is a great guy but has his limited perspective and from that perspective he is correct.

You may think that you have to appease people.

If you posted "The Linus rant about C++ is just wrong" then I would down vote you. Why is it wrong, why is it a rant, what's wrong about it - that's what gets my vote.

I thought we were building a Brave New World here away from political double-speaking and ass-licking and endless regurgitation of memes. Please don't give in.
The product isn't really the hardware, it's the classes. Or at least it's the classes + hardware.

Being able to put hardware together that "does the same thing" is only a fraction of a competitor.

What you describe might work well for a different market.
Exactly - the productivity boost employees gain from not being burned out, combined with a slightly lower wage bill. I see it as a win / win for both parties tbh.
Yeah afaik it was a thing during ancient Greek democracy, also the Viennese used a version of it....

But to add to these thoughts, coming from a society that people often consider as one of the better democracies (Switzerland) I find it very annoying the system of a majority winning... I mean in this day an age of potential cyber voting, if a suggestion was to get 50% or less of positive votes (such a a vote for free public transport in Geneva which got 27%) it should at least be tried out....

Also the inflation of bureaucracy needs to be addressed.. my suggestion would be that those voting get to share part time (if they want to) in the physical running of government as part of it's bureaucracy and receive payment ( it's often a sinecure... especially in these insecure times....
Talks at conferences tend to be as much about entertainment as education. Let's be honest, there's only so far you can go with a subject within the confines of a one hour speech. So if you're looking to "soak up as much CS knowledge/experience" as you can, try reading some of the classics of CS literature.

Jeff Atwood's list of recommended reading is a good place to start: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/02/recommended-reading...

Real time lets you spot problems and opportunities as they happen.

Developers using my platform have been able to identify problems they introduced very quickly when they were fixing bugs because data hits their reports in seconds and counters stopped going up just after their last build did.

In the context of websites real time analytics helps you efficiently produce or monetize content that has far too short a lifespan to wait for older systems to refresh their reports.

It's also very reassuring for users - before I made Playtomic real time devs often asked when the stats would update because they were testing their games, the reports weren't updating, and one of the options in that situation is they did something wrong.
Yeah an object of the class. Sorry about that.
I don't see how the vanity of a some analysts affects Google's underlying business. This is exactly the bipolar behavior of the market which has netted people like Buffett a fortune.

I don't see how that was hijacking the conversation..Anyways, until the market opens on Monday (and even more so in the coming weeks), it's impossible to tell who really lost that 8%.
depending on which route you take, https is not forced. will be fixed on the next release. thanks for the feedback.
> Exactly. So you have to go back yet another step and look at who has power to change the electoral system.

For most elections (including most changes to election rules for federal offices), the correct answer is "the legislature (and sometimes the people directly, by initiative, to the extent that they have reserved legislative power) of the state in which the election occurs." This includes, incidentally, most of the procedures surrounding elections for the state's slate of Presidential electors in Presidential elections, as well as most of the rules for elections for most other offices.

There are some mandated aspects of the setup of elections for federal office (e.g., single member districts for Congress) that are set through federal law and require Congressional action to permit changes.

There are a few non-mandated-guidelines aspects of the setup of some elections for federal office (e.g., the safe harbor rules for the conduct of Presidential elections) that likewise involve Congressional action, but, as these are not mandates, states can change them without federal action, but there might be greater risk of Congress disqualifying the electoral votes of those states (but since the safe harbor rules are rules governing purely discretionary Congressional acts, its not clear that Congress would actually be barred from discounting electoral votes based on elections which complied with the safe harbor rules, and in any case its not clear that they actually would bar votes based on elections which didn't.)

There are very few aspects of federal elections that are governed by the Federal Constitution (e.g., that elections to the Presidency are by way of the electoral college and how electors are apportioned among the states, etc.)

> You might think the only answer is a constitutional amendment, which requires a supermajority of Congress

You might, if you have absolutely no idea about election law in the US, and have compounded that ignorance by only paying attention to one of the two methods of amending the Constitution specified in Article V, and, on top of all that, only considered Presidential elections.

> but in fact there's a backdoor

Or, rather, a whole lot of obvious, clearly marked, wide-open front, back, and side doors, windows, cat-and-dog doors, etc., as described above.

While an entertaining, if not terrifying, read it offers up no supporting evidence to confirm that this memo exists and is authentic. Not saying I can't image this actually happening, I easily can and often do, yet some tangible evidence would be nice.

Wake me when an electric ambulance demonstrates a proven track record of traveling long distances in cold weather in rural America. Never mind electric helicopters and airplanes.

Thanks, that bug has been fixed

I for one welcome our new satanic overlords.

In all jest, it is probably someone trying to scare people out of a gentrifying neighborhood. That's as malicious as I can imagine it being.
Can anyone who's in the "HTTPS without certificate verification is bad, m'kay?" camp (I'm not directing this to the author of the post I'm replying to) compare and contrast that approach to the approach of SSH, where there is (usually) no such validation, and the breaking of which could have much larger consequences on global security then just HTTPS?

Why not adopt the SSH model of accepting the server's cert at the first connection and then complaining loudly if the fingerprint changes? Or even go a step further and have browsers manage private keys (client certs) which identify the user? Some Linuxes already do this with SSH: if you have a private SSH key, an SSH agent will remember its decrypted form on first use, and use it for SSH auth.

The client certs can be exchanged in a standard format throughout browsers and devices, and mobile phone-based two-factor-authentication can be used to increase security.

So - bam, good enough MITM protection (sure, let the banks retain the PKI system), no passwords, and a completely ready implementation requiring no new standards. There is no requirement for the client certs to be "blessed" with strong identification with the person, so anonymity is achievable by having an arbitrary number of different client certs.
I am not sure that the frat system is really in a position at the moment to demand respectable nomenclature from others.
The headers in the "after" picture aren't useless. They communicate:

* Aikido

* Beginner

* Regular schedule

* Come visit

That seems like a very sane set of goals for a poster about an aikido class.

In the "before" version, the copy about the "mind, body, spirit" connection of Aikido is set in a larger font than the text saying people should come visit!
I imagine they'd do consider some combination of the following (sorted by most likely)

1. Sharding data
2. Pulling tables out to other servers from the main DB
3. Pruning excessive data
4. Compressing data
> I assumed that the average user will make 10 put/copy/list requests and 10 get requests daily

Did those assumptions seem ridiculously low to anyone else too? My Dropbox is constantly syncing. Every time I save a file, move a file, delete a file, on any of my connected devices, I am making a request. I would estimate that I make nearly 500-1000 requests a day.

That also suggests that the total bytes transferred is a lot more than the author estimates.

I am pretty certain that Dropbox pays more for the requests/transfers than it does for space nominally.

Another thing: Did the author neglect the "30 day versioning" (or forever-backup) feature that Dropbox has? I think each user probably consumes a lot more than the suggested few hundred megs (average), in part because of all the changes.
When SmugMug got large, didn't they move from in-house storage to S3? Granted, one of the reasons was cash flow, which isn't as much of a concern for a VC-backed startup.
Did others sign up for AWS thinking that? Sounds incredibly foolish to me if they did. But this sounds suspiciously like a straw man to me...

There's no straw-man, because nothing is being debated. That said, I do have a hunch that some non-trivial number of Amazon AWS customers do sign-up, build significant parts of their business on AWS, and not fully consider the implications of this configuration in terms of reliability, uptime, etc.

Building in the kind of redundancy and failover mechanisms to handle outages like this isn't easy, but it is important; and awareness of the kinds of things pointed out by the "Eight Fallacies" is part of that.
awesome news! keep up the good work.

on a side note, perhaps this is a benefit of attending college that a lot of the anti-education crowd here on HN might not realize --- connections with alumni from your alma mater. of course, you still need to take massive initiative like OP did, but at least that option is available to you.
>((in the glibc discussion)) Linus stood for users in the short term (works here and now). Not for good development practices (read manuals, fix bugs, use modern hardware facilities -- here HAS_FAST_COPY_BACKWARD CPU feature).

If you're creating an API(i.e. glibc) that everyone and their brother uses, it's a bad idea to break binary comparability in an update. You might be able to get away with it for a full version number change, but for point updates, it's a bad idea. If you're going to change it, add a new function.

You don't break binary compatibility in a major component without an extremely good reason(i.e. it doesn't work anymore). Forcing everyone to recode or even recompile to work with an OS-level component is just idiotic.
We'd prefer someone locally, but we realize we can't always have everything we want.
For IE10 MS pushed out a CTP and said this is a good build to test with. Is there a build in the Chrome dev branches that are more vetted then others. I just wouldn't want someone wasting their time posting results and someone else saying, "Duh, it's obvious that Chrome 12.0.0.12.a had Javascript loop optimization turned off, didn't you read the commit logs? Those results are no good. You should go back to Chrome 12.0.0.5.c to get one that is usable for JS testing".

Wrong. You haven't done any research, defi apps on Ethereum have grown a lot in usage in 2020: https://defipulse.com/
What browser are you using that hasn't blocked autoplay audio? Firefox, Chrome, and WebKit all didn't on my computer.
Yes, developers should be responsive to feedback, and especially so when it comes to accessibility, but I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with the idea of relying entirely or primarily on unpaid work for an entire area of testing.

Of course, it always depends on the overall funding situation of the app, but if funding exists, then I think AX testing should be paid like the highly qualified work it is.
what does navigable mean? I expect the IDE/tools to allow you to navigate the code fast and easily. If your IDE doesn't let you click-thru to definition, usages, and references, it's a poor setup imho.
One of the things giving rise to the distrust is that poll watchers were disallowed. It's safe to say that nobody who cares about integrity would be OK with that action.
I’d love to know why this is being downvoted. As other people have observed, there exist right now multiple, highly effective vaccines. To advocate for letting it run through the population, knowing it will likely kill at least 1% of the population, cause long term health care problems for countless more, and likely devastate the economy... the best option here is that you are ignorant of these facts.
So sad I have to scroll down this far to see this be acknowledged. Not surprising though

Nah, pedantry is fine, good sir. I need to reread those books, it’s been like a decade for me.
Dang, I want to take time to thank you for working hard and keeping this place civil but also working to encourage discourse between opposing views.

Over the course of the past months I have seen several political threads and while they get heated, there is also good conversation. I am not sure how often that people are actually swayed but the fact that conversation can take place where other sites have turned into echo chambers or massive flame wars is a testament to your hard work.
well according to 4chan it was all coordinated by the Jews.. or ANTIFA.. or the Vatican.. Illuminati.. that one guy that stole their lunch money that one time..

(per 4chan/qanon) it's all false flags. that lady wasn't shot. she threw herself back on to her padded backpack... because "they" knew that if someone "died" then they could quell the uprising. (which is actually pretty insulting to the "revolution" isn't it?)

i spent the day poking around a lot of conspiracy theories and videos and man.. that's one big rabbit hole of mental illness.
