Considering how Apple and Google tried to fix the salaries of software engineers to stay low, maybe even that isn't an option in big companies.
I started seeing obsolete emails early this month for a bug I've been tracking:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8839

It's extremely frustrating to have an issue thread full of agreeing constructive comments from users marked obsolete with no comment from the developers, when the issue is still annoying many users. It definitely gives the impression that Google gave up or does not care about users.
We always have this debate at work. Do we build the system ourselves or do we purchase a product? On prem Prometheus or push everything to DataDog? I'm always a fan of building things myself because I like building things, but my company compares engineering time vs product cost.
Please explain how they are ignoring the spirit of these opensource licenses in respect of this code.
Do you have a list of the more compelling allegations? I'm genuinely curious to see them.
No process works great until something goes wrong, then you need process to fix it/prioritize it.
Pretty much the same....I had facebook in the early to late 2000's but deleted it over a decade ago now...never once missed it. I had WhatsApp on my company computer because it was an outside parties preferred way of communicating with us, but I don't count that as it was a business only thing, never used it for personal use and the company now communicates with us via slack (thank goodness).
This is disheartening, but not terribly surprising, news.

I was with Simple back in 2014. I left in 2015 then came back and left for good in 2016.

On one hand, no other bank has tried so hard to make financial responsibility a first-class citizen
in their mobile and web apps. They made setting aside money and budgeting expenses very, very
seamless to do. I wish other consumer banks learned from what Simple was trying to accomplish.
Simple also had the most pleasing and tech-forward mobile and web apps of any consumer bank; it was
a step above everything else. Lastly, Simple's customer service was unrivaled. Being able to use a
chat platform that didn't suck _and_ get connected with a human within five minutes was not possible
elsewhere back then.

On the other hand, some of Simple's business decisions were...frustrating.

It took me _over five days_ for them to replace a lost card. Most banks can replace overnight for an
additional fee; Simple didn't even give you that option. This was pretty frustrating given that they
encourage you to use their card for everything.

I couldn't pay a bill larger than $3,000 one time (which was ironic given that I was paying off a
credit card). I don't remember why, but I remember thinking "this is dumb; any bank would process
this payment no questions asked." Trying to pay this bill through Simple was a massive exercise in
frustration.

I actually encountered _multiple_ bill pay failures with Simple. Paid bills would never get funds
disbursed. Payments would show up multiple times in my ledger. The worst of the failures I
experienced happened when I paid one of my student loans but found out _days_ later that the payment
actually never went out due to a "technical error." This caused me to miss a payment and eat a late
fee. I actually landed up speaking to their CEO at the time about it over the phone; he gave me $50
as an apology consolation, which I thought was cool.

They also didn't support eChecks, which meant that every payment I made would take _at least_ three
days to clear through ACH. I remember being very relieved when I switched to Chase and could process
payments in 24 hours.

I'm _still_ salty about a failed database migration they performed which took out their backend ATM
services while I was on vacation. Couldn't get money out or move money in for a day or two. This
would _never_ happen with a bigger bank, and even if it did, they have brick-and-mortars as a
fallback.

After BBVA pseudo-acquired them and their legendarily-prompt service went south, I switched over to
Chase and never looked back. After Simple removed their Bill Pay feature, I wondered why they just
didn't get fully-acquihired or something.

It's less than half the price now. That's a pretty big detail to get wrong. You may be thinking of the Kickr bike, which is much more full-featured, and $3500 (so, still not $4k), but doesn't have a screen at all from what I can tell.

It doesn't require any Clojure knowledge to use. You simply have to install a build tool to run it. The site generation is configured entirely through config variables and templates are plain HTML.
Regardless of legalities, this sort of show lacks taste or any shred of class, and merely tarnishes the hospital's name in pursuit of PR branding. And it's a travesty what was done to that family.

This is one time I hope their lawyers turn the screws on these corporations and extract as much capital as possible.
I don't think that the OpenBSD crowd's response to the OpenSSH vulnerabilities are an example of some motto of "shut up and hack" at all. In fact, I find their response to demonstrate the difference in reactions that got my attention.

Heartbleed provoked substantial discussion as well as the LibreSSL project.
Well as soon as you start fiddling with performance one of the first things you figure out that to eliminate the worst bottlenecks you need to simplify the workflow around them.
First, this is strawman bullshit. Don't bring up app prices in a culture war.

What you're witnessing is culture expressing itself, rooted in history, the law, the zeitgeist of the people. And right now the culture is drawing a line in the sand and saying, "don't do that (bigotry, racism, ignorance)". You are free to be on this side of the line or you can start a revolution. So far the good guys are winning. Not Dems or Republicans, but sane people.
I read this for the first time probably 15 years ago, and to this day I can't think about IPv6 without thinking about this passage from the guide:

What does this suggest to you?

That we need a lot more addresses. That we need not just twice as many addresses,
not a billion times as many, not a thousand trillion times as many, but 79 MILLION
BILLION TRILLION times as many possible addresses! That’ll show ’em!

You’re saying, “Beej, is that true? I have every reason to disbelieve large numbers.”
Well, the difference between 32 bits and 128 bits might not sound like a lot; it’s
only 96 more bits, right? But remember, we’re talking powers here: 32 bits represents
some 4 billion numbers (232), while 128 bits represents about 340 trillion trillion
trillion numbers (for real, 2128). That’s like a million IPv4 Internets for every
single star in the Universe.

Your view on currency exposes your extremely elitist bias.

Are you aware that a large portion of the population is unable to purchase assets? What do you say to these people? What do you say as the dollars they earn pay less of their rent? Less of their healthcare? Soon...less of their groceries?
The UK was also the sick man of Europe before they joined the EU predecessors.

The modern successful UK is almost certainly a consequence of closer collaboration with the EU.

Almost none of the reasons the UK was successful before are true anymore.

> helping their wealthy be greedier.

I fail to understand what is wrong with this. What is wrong in people keeping more of their wealth to themselves ? Heck I am not even very rich but would love to live in a country that does not tax and on top will be extremely proud to be the citizen.

If there is something wrong in lower taxes are you implying thay countries with 100% taxes (where you turn up everything you have to your government) would be somehow morally superior or something to be proud of ?
I'd request the same for whatever mathematical concepts Quants use for stock market trading. Or at least a list of concepts useful for such an endeavor.
> They are almost never intentional.

Somebody had to specifically code the application to concatenate into the string:

> I'm not sure about this, but does every person using an exchange get their own address?

Definitely not. Exchanges that aren't stupid keep the vast majority of their funds in cold storage, which is held in a small number of addresses.

Most people store their bitcoin on exchanges, even though that's a pretty bad idea. Not your keys not your coins.

The article is massively misleading. It should say "95% of bitcoin is controlled by a small number of entities, most of which are exchanges". That's still not good, but at least it's not deceptive.
Where do you live that a car gets stolen from your street every week?

Presumably they've given Ofcom a call and they'll go look whenever they get around to it, but some noise on ISM is probably not treated as an emergency.
Postgres is our goto, but in particular we have been pretty satisfied lately with AWS so-called “serverless” Aurora Postgres, which allows utilization to scale down during quiet periods, which is very helpful in a lots-of-microservices context, which can otherwise have a pretty high cost floor from having many Postgres DBs that have to be sized to accommodate their peak load.

DynamoDB, which I was slow to come around on, is attractive for the same reason, although it only works if the use case fits, obviously.
How about the very post I replied to?

So there you have it. But don't worry, no one uses this "Linux" thing, certainly not in embedded systems.

Personally I enjoyed the interviews with Brad Fitzpatrick and Donald Knuth the most, although Norvig was also pretty good.
A mixture of different languages and ideas that was beaten together into something that might be identified as a language. Its adherents are growing fast, and although most people look at them suspiciously, they are mostly well-meaning people with no intention of harming anyone.

You might be right about Ruby being simple, unrestrictive and joyful (qualities I also found in Python when I was learning it), but I don't see how you could say that the above is true about Python.

Anyway, in a follow up post, the author does claim that he is no python fanboy.
good programmers should know the fundamentals. This doesn't just go for the systems/infrastructure developers, but product developers as well: you may still be able to get a job without knowing these basics, but you'll be "locked out" of the most lucrative jobs in a given industry (or even out of whole industries).

I agree with this statement, but I sing in the choir. I suspect that everybody else on HN signs in the choir as well.

Jeff Atwood once pointed out that he wasn't trying to write for his readers, he was trying to write for the millions of programmers worldwide who don't read any blogs at all. Most of them don't work in "The Valley."

>> My understanding of the timeline and Guido's writings on the subject make it seem very unlikely that C++ or Perl had any significant impact on the decision to create Python or the design of Python.

Look at slide 4 of http://www.aleax.it/Python/ep03_meta.pdf:

>>> "Putting Metaclasses to Work", by Ira
Forman and Scott Danforth (AddisonWesley
1998)
/ strong influence on Python 2.2 & later
/„ based on IBM SOMobjects & C++

That's only one thing coming to mind :)
(immediately followed by the quote: "In the past, the subject of metaclasses in Python has caused hairs to raise and even brains to explode (see, for example Metaclasses in Python 1.5). Fortunately, in Python 2.2, metaclasses are more accessible and less dangerous." by Guido at https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2/descrintro/ -- referencing same C++ book(s), actually)
I moved our entire company from SVN to Git with no support issues to speak of. None of our developers had an issue with it at all, and no one lost any work just because they fundamentally misunderstood how Git worked.

In the end, it sounds like Stallman needed to read any basic 'how to git' document on any blog anywhere and it would have explained to him what he needed to know to not lose his data, and maybe 'why to git' to figure out the benefits of 'commit' vs. 'atomic commit and push'.

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I'm not going to get into the debate of open floor plans vs individual offices since most people already have their opinions and I see pros & cons to both. That debate aside, I think that roof top green space is absolutely awesome. I would love to see more of those being built into new buildings.
I hope they were going though two vpn's running in a virual machine.
Growth!=Technological progress.

I'm not sure what else there is to say. Do you realise you made this logical jump? Does it not need expanding upon or justifying? Do you not think it might be the source of the difference other people have?
as I posted on reddit:

A simpler and better solution for this problem is: do not let apps run in background (double-fork/detach) in containers. Most applications that background by default can override this with a command-line flag.
And certainly don't run programs that execute other programs that background. Keep it simple, and try to limit yourself to 1 process per container. Sure there might be situations where this cannot be avoided, but in 99% of the situations - this is not a problem.
Yes you have to be aware of this potential problem, but I am currently running tons of containers, of which only a few run supervisord (which handles reaping too) to run multiple processes within one container because it was the sane thing to do. Stale zombie processes on my docker hosts? None. These precautions in my opinion are only required for badly behaving software. And yes - there is software like that.
Companies like most photo studios aren't really companies at all, they are just jobs for the founders. they can't grow beyond the work capacity of the individual. They have no real value beyond their assets.

why do they all define pi when it's just 22/7?

Professional photography is a lot like consulting. The differences are that you can't hid bad photography like you can hide bad code, and once you're established, you can charge higher rates than you can as a software consultant.

(I'm already able to charge a higher rate for photography than I am for software development, and I have 17 years in the industry, most of wasted because of the fact that most code is crap, and most management aren't intelligent enough to realize that hero developers are incompetent.)
The site itself doesn't have content, it has a content aggregation service. That makes it hard to spread in a viral fashion, especially when it's an untargeted service spread amongst many verticals. It's useful, but the "wow check this out" factor is missing.

One improvement would be to add a comment system and rely on UGC to keep people around. But then you have to devise a way to populate stories and make the site look livelier than it is, which may require some kind of comment bot.

Another thing you could do is start drilling down to smaller and smaller niches and try to become a top search result in those, and then work your way back to the huge verticals you currently have. As it is, you are basically competing head-to-head with Google News.

The way I think of it is a firewall shouldn't be needed, but the cost of adding and running one is pretty small. Besides, saying "just don't make mistakes and you won't need one" is useless- everyone makes mistakes, and that's why we use firewalls.
Because it sounds like the relationship she is describing is between two work colleagues (or perhaps two co-founders) - "Mostly, we talk about work" - not a romantic relationship between adults; almost every point she makes is an attempt to justify the compromises she must make on a daily basis because of her partner's obsession with work.

There is more to life than work, and (to quote John Ruskin) there is no wealth but life.
The author is in a relationship with a person who clearly has priority issues and loves his work more than anything else to the point that it permeates every aspect of the relationship. Instead of recognizing just how unhealthy this is, the author appears to be sacrificing her needs and accepting as normal behavior that is not.
> I disagree with this interpretation.

The problem with what you're trying to put forward here is that you think this is an interpretation. It's not. A 0-day has a very strict definition.

You can't just choose random words or expressions you don't understand without looking them up and decide they mean something else because you thought they did. Otherwise, the annals of medicine would look very different.

The illusion of the Cartesian theater is seemingly sequential. Your brain is not.
There are big files, and then there are Big files. Some files are just too big. At some point, it's easier to deal with smaller files.
The idea that this experiment would disprove free will seems to rely on thinking that the 'conscious' mind is somehow separate from your physical brain, and free will is the act of your non-physical consciousness telling your body to move.

This seems like nonsense to me. Your brain waves are the not caused by thoughts, they ARE your thoughts. Of course they are present before you are conscious of your decision to move, because they ARE your consciousness.

Free will does not mean it has to be separate from your physics brain.

I really like all their offerings! Hashicorp writes incredibly easy to run & operate software. They have a wonderful software-design sense, identifying core problems & driving a well-defined approach forward. Rarely are companies so technically savvy in their offerings. It's clear from having run into all manners of Hashicorp people at conferences (back when that was a thing) that they have really great engineers too, talented & knowledgeable & engaged!

My Nomad familiarity is definitely a bit on the low side, & that's something I wouldn't mind changing. Consul & Vault I used to be able to operate & understood ok, but my knowledge has faded some.
WordPress is a large and soft target, security-wise, and the malware targeting it has become fairly sophisticated. Note both "large" and "soft" are important, which is why I said both.

If you are implying that you're going to try to claim that WordPress is not a large and soft target, all I can do is really strongly recommend against dashing yourself against those rocks voluntarily.

I’m not sure I understand this counter argument. Surely we can rationalize in a deterministic universe without having free will to make independent decisions based on objective rationalizations.

What about understanding the clock structure? Does that limit my ability to reason about time? Or about digital clocks? Or to be upset at someone for not showing up when I was expecting them to.
