You want to manage complexity, but mention Design Patterns?

I'm not a fan of this book. I've been in too many shops where it's become gospel and the code becomes an unnavigable swamp of singletons and factory classes and who-knows-what.

I was flying back from Christmas and I sat next to this nice lady and we talked for three hours - she used to be the main lobbyist for the Sugar industry in DC - She now produces a big money podcast in NYC -- She worked for Domino Foods/Florida Crystals - the largest sugar producer.

Incredible story - they were super wealthy in Cuba - then played poor to come to the US to Miami - they are like one of the largest land owners in florida - their story is NUTS

These guys are largely responsible for a lot of the sugar consumption we have
> Purple should never be used outside of officially endorsed Heroku products or without explicit permission.

then why opensource it at first place? Bootstrap became popular even though it used some Twitter design styles. How is it a bad thing?

When you write this in the lib description,you're making sure nobody's going to use that.
Sorry, where's the citation / link for [0]? Very interesting.

Until the Advanced functionality is rolled out publicly, does anyone have suggestions for logging all requests to something like S3? I was going to write my own this afternoon since I couldn't find anything.

I see the market currently providing two options, neither of which encompass my use case.

1) Exception Logging via existing Heroku addons like Exceptional

2) Tracking via javascript, e.g. Google Analytics

The problem I'm experiencing is that I have successful ajax calls to a Sinatra app that I'd like to log. Running 'heroku logs' will give me the last couple hundred but I'm generating many thousands. The new new Heroku logging functionality will expand that tail to showing me a few thousand queries across my dynos but as I understand it, it won't write out to S3 (nor a file since Heroku is write-only).

I planned on writing a custom logger that will output to S3. If anyone has suggestions in lieu of rolling my own, please advise. Otherwise I can post the code I create on github for others in my situation.
Is it Rails-only or does it support any Rack framework?
No biggie. It wasn't actually spam so no harm no foul. You did good.
Okay, would you have any recommendations on how?
What have you done to change in-design products, with no benefit to yourself? Remember that we're talking about non-techies, who aren't excited by the latest, shiniest thing around.
Any system where support or funding for production does not depend on restricting copying: those should be inspirations for alternatives. Open-source/free software, Wikipedia, the BBC, science/academic research . . .

The internet is a communication device, and we should be using to its max. All questions about distinguishing different kinds of copying, and whether one is moral or not, do not reach the real heart of the matter. All copying (assuming good stuff) is good, ultimately, and we ought to fit our commercial system to that, not the other way around.
Ann Arbor is an interesting town. This is where I first did consulting while working for Sycor, at that time second largest employer in AA. One of my clients was local, Domino's pizza. Another was telecommute in Boston, and for a short time, one of the Big Three.

Ann Arbor is a bit unique in that it is at once in the ecosphere of the Auto industry (the EPA measurement facility was at the time there--may still be) and that of the University of Michigan. There were lots of very odd small consulting firms, some very specialized.

Since then, Sycor was absorbed by BNR, Domino's Pizza has grown up (I suggested to the owner that he get himself a computer department). And most relevant personally is that one of my clients, based in Chicago, became a FTJ.
I know this might soUnd Kafkaesque but here it goes: Internet censorship is extralegal in China and the official stance is to deny its existence. They are known to be somewhat proud of the fact that "we respect internet freedom and never took down any websites hosted overseas". There is going to be no deal because that would be an admission of responsibility.
Only the two most recent overclockable models (Devils Canyon variant of Haswell) have VT-d, and artificially excluding all the budget product lines is not a responsible way to handle what should be seen as a security feature first and foremost.
YES. I was thinking the same thing. The last building I was in was converted from an old industrial space. There were noise cancelling devices in the ceiling. You couldn't hear the person sitting across the table from you.
Ps is implemented by parsing /proc, so the results you get are the same.

Having said that, /proc/xxx/status does contain a flag that tells you whether a process is a zombie or not. So on Linux, Phusion Passenger parses that file as an extra check. But not all software does this.
and I want to add, I am so looking forward to having this exact conversation 5, 10 and 20 years from now...
There is no relative point of view here. This is simply an egregious educational failure where application developers have failed to understand the underpinnings of how their platform handles processes at a high level.

Then again, this is how the industry works, I suppose. You rediscover an old paradigm or basic property of your system that has been abstracted out, present it as new, deliver it in a shiny package and reap the fame.

Sorry, I was mostly ticked at how you presented this issue in such an alarmist and "problem-reaction-solution" tone. It's just humorous.
Obligatory XKCD about communicating with aliens: http://xkcd.com/1377/
I very often work on vacations (2 to 8 weeks at at time). I work whenever I feel like it or don't have anything better to do. It's easy to find a few free hours most days without sacrificing your vacation time. That way, I can travel longer, and it keeps me busy. However, I normally don't stay more than a few days at the same place, and don't work full days so co-working wouldn't really make sense for me.

However, it sounds like a good idea if you want to be at a specific place for some time and don't want to be alone at the hotel or in a coffee shop. That way, you could socialize with similarly-minded people or work in a more engaging environment.
Well, this is not exactly A/B testing (maybe a pilot program would be a better term), but as for the rest of your comment - I recall Musk saying something about Mars lacking Internet and him wanting to put it there.
Supervisord is not an init and must not be run as pid1, that's explicitly mentioned in its documentation[0]:

> It shares some of the same goals of programs like launchd, daemontools, and runit. Unlike some of these programs, it is not meant to be run as a substitute for init as “process id 1”.

There are micro-inits you could use instead though, s6 should be runnable as pid1 for instance.

Yeah this is fair! I don't want to give the impression that this is all it takes to get Google to stop stalking you. But I do think it at least helps. I found a lot of the chatter in the de-googling community to a bit purist and defeatist at times, but maybe I went too far the other way, here. I want to encourage people to do the same without thinking it's all hopeless or doesn't make any impact because Google's gonna get you one way or another, but I also don't want to paint an unrealistic picture, as if this is all it takes to wash our hands of Google's reach.

I updated the post to reflect this.

Why can't the App Store and Google Play add country-of-origin labeling for applications?

I'm against the US banning apps, but having a clear warning message detailing the risks around downloading apps Made in China (eg, history of widespread Chinese government-sanctioned economic espionage) seems reasonable and appropriate.
As has been mentioned many times, the problem (if you want to call it that) with DDG is that it does not personally tailor results. Google is great at deciphering what I mean because it has data on me. DDG doesn't have this data, so how I search needed to be tweaked. I rarely have need for the g! anymore.

With Norway's ultra-clean gird four people commuting in a 40kWh EV have, after 130k km, a smaller carbon footprint than four cyclists doing the same.

EV pollute the planet, but so does everything else - including making the food that's turned into energy spent on cycling. It's not all that clear cut.

I sent miniclip a mail in 2012 asking for how to start programming and developing games and they replied! i still have that email in my inbox. At that time i was in highschool too but didn't start programming or anything related until university lol.
For the interest of HN reader demographics:

The salary of experienced assembly line worker in South China has passed that of USA's central states few years ago, just before the CoVID.

For places like Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Pakistan, working in a factory is quite a dream job, and a ticket to the middle class living. People who poo on "sweatshops" in Asia hardly realise that these sweatshops are better than 90% of all jobs there.

I worked for companies who did manufacturing setup for Yadea in Vietnam, FairElectronics, and Walton in Bangladesh. Their HRs have a meter thick pile of resumes they work with every month.
The writer of that blog is Charles Stross, a very well known sci-fi writer and former writer of a Linux column. I’d say not only is he a nerd, he’s truly a “nerd’s nerd”. I’d argue his writings have similar influence on people in this community to Neil Stephenson’s work.
I’m talking specifically about stuff like the discovery of gravity or electricity, not the very important and significant inventions that aren’t really a step change. The number of people who make these discoveries may even be hundreds or thousands but that is vanishingly small on a planet of billions of people.
Seems like the writer hasn't actually seen that many episodes. Plenty of excellent sci fi episodes in addition to the less serious "monster of the week" ones. "Measure of a man" or "the offspring" come to mind.
Bingo. It's also why so many scientists and scientific academies came out to complain about those verdicts (which will still bring litigated).
Sounds like a good way to create even more cults of personality and egotistical assholes who can't work in a team.

Breakthroughs aren't made by lone geniuses anymore. We just have that superhero fetish eg. picture of black hole where credit was practically given to that one woman in the picture.
I think hold music, and especially the type that is constantly interrupted with a voice to fake you out, is also designed to be as grating as possible and make you hang up. I'm happy google added that "Hold for me" functionality to Android phones.
Growing Virally (where virality coefficient and cycle are really important[1]) is different than growing with Paying Users (where Lifetime Value (LTV) and Cost to aqcuire customers (CAC) is really important[2]) that its different than growing through very high retention rates[3]. You can achieve P/M fit with any of them.

You can argue that you don't need growth. Which investors won't particularly like (in particular, VCs have LPs to give a return on investment[4]). But ultimately, if your company is not growing in any way, is any of your work actually making a difference? Are the people working on the company getting a return on investment on their time investment?

Growth also doesn't need to be about money (or eventual money, as it can be the case if you are growing virally). Think of Khan Academy (which is a Non Profit[5]): they can grow on more people using them, and on people using them more. They can also grow on impact they have on the students.

Not sure why the downvotes - at least ASGs can be expanded later unlike the one-offs. Plus, you should never have SPOFs anyway. There was a comment below about not all projects being of Netflix' scale - well, there's Digital Ocean for the smaller one - EC2 is not the most cost-effective solution for small projects anyway.

I mostly disagree with this article. Reading only what you like is not a challenge at all. The real challenge is reading works that you disagree with, with ideas that make you think and change your perception. In the age of predictive searchand targeted advertisements, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people to stay within their own bubble.
If there are going to be thousands of Tesla cars in each city, maybe it would make more sense for them to create a mesh network and connect to the internet via Wi-Fi when parked (at Superchargers, at home, etc.). This could drastically reduce the cellular bandwidth required for less than the hundreds of millions of dollars required for a satellite solution.

There's JS on the page to replicate the bookmarklet maker, of course, but swapping the stylesheet URL in an existing Readability bookmarklet amounts to the same thing.

That's interesting. I'd actually like to tweak the stylesheet too. Seems easy enough now you say it, but a post about doing that might fly well. (I'd quite like to hack Safari Reader to get rid of that full justification too, but I need to Google on how to crack into that..)

I guess I concur that it is annoying in most contexts, but hadn't noticed it here. Maybe it's a difference between browsing/skimming behavior and prolonged reading?

It doesn't seem to be so detested on devices like the iPad and iPhone. Page turning is a form of horizontal scrolling, after all. I haven't yet tried your system on the iPad but I think it might cut it for me.

I suspect the aversion to horizontal scrolling on the desktop is based on history and, then, habit. As you may remember, scrollwheels used to only go up/down so horizontal scrolling was cumbersome. You could also scroll by vertical page by pressing space or PgDn in most apps. Similar shortcuts for horizontal scrolling are/were rare and inconsistent. Vertical scrolling was so easy that, by comparison, horizontal scrolling was annoying and difficult.
That article is a good demonstration of scientific entertainment.

Thank you. This post is the first place I've announced the site, so it makes sense that there aren't a lot of people on. I think I'll try to get some more now.
Ideas like this could, eventually, actually obsolete CSS as we know it. All it would take is for subsequent revisions of the CSS standard to include support for some of these features, and for browsers to support more complicated CSS.

With Less, SASS and similar tools becoming more popular recently, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chrome or Firefox experimentally include their own implementations.
Good feedback. I was worried about that. Thanks.
It's boring because you are "coding" and not "programming". Coding is just pasting together libraries and pieces of code that have been written by someone else; there is little fun in that. Even the passionate and brilliant programmers out there will tell you that.

So, what parts of a project when coding are boring and monotonous? Program it, don't code it; IOW, create a utility or tool to automate that aspect of it.

Instead of copy pasting your controller from project A to project B to get started, write a script that will generate the skeleton of that controller for you. Find the little nooks and crannies of your project that could be cleaner, clearer, or abstracted enough to reduce duplicity of effort.

Programming is thinking and coding combined (you always have to "type" something), coding has the thinking aspect removed, which is why it gets so boring.

As has been stated, you simply may not be wired for it - in which case you should sub-contract the programming work to someone who is good at it and enjoys it. That's how I made the majority of my living the past year, I was sub-contracted by a designer who managed his own clientele.
No there's rhyming all over the place in this one, just not always on the end of the line. But first and second stanzas, in the 4th just take for example:

"Pasan huyendo los pájaros. El viento. El viento"

huyendo rhymes with viento, pasan alliterates with pajaros, and the "l" en los and "o" in pajaros fits very nicely with the "l" and "o" in the repition of "el viento".

In english you see the translator trying to get it somewhat with birds and by :

"The birds go by, fleeing. The wind. The wind."

Its a bit of a pain, but you can definitely switch to CoreDNS on GKE if you need to. Also as someone who has used GKE, EKS, MicroK8s, and Minikube, I would say that the easiest to use implementation of Kubenetes as a Service is GKE. Not saying its easy or the worlds most thought out product, but I gotta give google just a tiny bit of credit for at least being easier to use then the competition.
i wouldn't be so fast with blaming systemd for this.

first things first: why isn't your network (via dhcp or local configuration) providing/setting a dns server?

second things: it's fedora that messed up. fallback dns servers are supposed to be there as fallback when nothing else is provided.

It's not systemd's fault, it's fedora's.

if your dhcp server isn't providing a dns server and you're not setting it explicitly then having something else other than systemd would have meant facing the same problem.

It's sad that different chronotypes aren't taken into account for work schedules. There are many an individual contributor, and manager, who naturally outperform outside of the usual 9-5 framework.

I think where it went wrong here is that when it asked you for your "passphrase" (which is called a recovery key) it's very likely it wanted your login password instead. (Because that is indeed needed to reset the recovery key).

The recovery key (whitespace doesn't matter btw, it's just a 48 char string) is only needed when you logout of all devices and subsequently want to restore your encrypted messages.

As soon as you start digging in any type of hobby you'll find people going crazy about things you will not understand at all. From audiophiles, to barbecue enthusiasts, knife collectors, wood workers, if you go deep enough in the rabbit hole you'll feel like an alien

I think some personalities are just drawn to these kind of things. They want "the best" and enter an interminable quest or discussing, comparing, building, fighting with other people about "what's the best", &c. I know because I'm part of it in some aspects of my life

"No, because portraiture has been out of fashion for many decades, so the best artists by and large don't work in this medium."

Unfortunately there are not good alternatives. I have a fairly nice bike at home and a standing desk that I can fit it under comfortably. I told my partner we don't need a Peloton because I could find spin class videos online. Nope. There really isnt any quality content out there. I guess I could just sign up for the Peloton platform with my own bike but I was surprised there wasnt at least a handful of Youtube videos of spin class instructors.

It seems similar to Yoga where you can find incredible quality online but its really not.
Yes, in Marxist terms you need to produce the surplus value to sustain development. So whoever wants to exclusively work on that coal problem presumably has to convince others to help him, either by providing supplies or by helping directly.
