The intention with EU regulations like these is usually to prevent a 'race to the bottom' as they call it. They're turning the EU into a common market without internal trade barriers, but when you do that, what happens when one country has a VAT of 15% and another of 25%? Businesses that can move, will move (administratively) to the 15% country, forcing all countries to lower their VAT to the lowest level. You can argue that this measure isn't working, or that the cost outweighs the benefits, but I don't think it is regulatory capture. Brussels is really trying to minimize the impact of the common market on member states' domestic policies.

That someone posts something negative about a given country, doesn't mean posting something negative about the US therefore refutes or otherwise alters it.
> * Public, non-sensitive content that you need to distribute or broadcast using CDNs (such as Amazon's), who may charge you hundreds or thousands of dollars to install a custom server certificate if you want to use your own domain

CDNs (well, CloudFront and CloudFlare but I assume this is the same for others) only charge you for using custom SSL certs if you can't get by with SNI, since it means they have to provision IPs at every endpoint.

With HTTP2, SNI isn't an issue.
Do you check your private GitHub keys into VCS? Your wide definition of "scripts used to control compliation" would seem to include them! My preferred form of making modifications to my software includes uploading them to my GitHub account for code reviews among other things.

I use my GitHub private keys way more often than final code signing keys - be those keys used for as "nefarious" a use as tivoization lock-in, or as benign a use as proving authorship so Windows can tell my executables apart from some asshole's malware better.

During standard development I'm either using temporary, machine-local certificates, or using unsigned code. If that means I need a devkit, or an emulator, or a dongle, or whatever else might be required to iterate that doesn't require the final "publishing" steps, in a well designed system it shouldn't require final publishing certs. Because for security's sake, you'd consider going to such lengths as keeping those code signing certs on a tightly controlled, air gapped machine, to reduce the chance of getting pwned and dealing with cert invalidation. Or worse.

Which makes it a very far cry from being part of your compilation phase in any capacity, nevermind a script used to control it.

HTTP 2.0 is surely nice for initial page load but for subsequent data loads I prefer websocket (in the context of SPAs).

Check out the case Garner v. United States - the Supreme Court essentially ruled that your obligation to disclose your sources of income when paying taxes cannot trump your 5th amendment right to not be compelled to self-incriminate. If disclosing the source of income would incriminate you in a crime, you can declare the income and decline to note the source on your taxes.
"the entitled complaints really got to me."

Having done some voluntary work long time ago - I would say providing value to a community in any context seldom pays in direct gratitude.

In direct communication, complaints are always more likely than compliments. The value must come from somewhere else than direct feedback from beneficiaries, like observing the thing you just pulled off being enjoyed by a lot of people and being pleased of it. The corollary to this is that it's much more enjoyable to work for free in a friendly group than alone because then the company and support of peers can be an equivalent source of joy.

I suppose a lone free software project lacks these both, unless one can visualize the value by looking at the number of downloads...

>Or is the majority of the usage pattern that of a commodity, where people are mostly buying and selling it for fiat currency, and trying to do so at a profit?

This sentence would make sense if you had said "that of a security"!

I think you forget that the defining aspect of wheat is that eventually it ends up in people's mouths! (i.e. has some actual usage.) Futures contracts are an afterthought on top of what the definition of a commodity is, in my opinion.

Chrome has already disabled SSLv3 (as have other browsers). We have also announced the planned removal of RC4 early next year: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/securit.... (As have Mozilla and Microsoft.)
They cannot destroy it but they can hinder it in major ways and drive it underground. For example if major governments announced that they're banning bitcoin it would drive off a lot of users and we would have to find ways around their legislation. Major exchanges will have to go underground, it would be a lot harder to buy bitcoin, maybe the value would drop.

Can't see where this answers "Can android gain from KDBus?" or any hint at why we'd even try when "things we havn't looked at: security and performance" would probably be the biggest motivators. Is there something I'm missing or is this just another case of hopping on the bandwagon?
It's a pre-condition nearly across the board.

Name the long list of countries with low freedom and high economic prosperity - the list is in fact extraordinarily short.

Singapore isn't a low freedom country, it's a mid freedom country. It has a level of freedom comparable to Mexico or Turkey. Low freedom nations: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan etc.

Off the top of my head for relatively free + prosperous: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, UK, US, Japan, South Korea, France, Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Belgium.

Now match that list with relatively unfree nations that are prosperous. Outside of a select few petro States, you're almost entirely out of luck. That list of prosperous + free states is so far beyond the low freedom list across the board on quality of life and economic metrics, there is no meaningful comparison to be had.
The copy protection for Civilization was similarly ineffective. The mechanism there was that many turns into the game, a screen would pop up showing you the picture associated with a technology, and asking you to identify (from a list of 5 or so options) which technologies were the prerequisites to the pictured one. If you were familiar with the game, this wasn't difficult. Even if you weren't, though, all of the required information was present in the in-game Civilopedia, and accessible before the protection screen occurred.
It doesn't say anything about products. It doesn't say that major components can't be optional components. It does say that a compiler is a major component of the operating system.

You're trying to draw a box around "Windows" and define operating system as everything in that box. But minesweeper is not an operating system component, it's just something that comes with Windows. A hypervisor is an operating system component, even though not all versions of Windows have one.

So is a compiler.

I imagine there exist developer-oriented PC OEMs that offer PCs with Windows and Visual Studio already installed. So then it is included with the OS by the OEM. The fact that that would change the outcome in your interpretation implies that there is something wrong with it.
Another title: Coding Sucks: Why a Job in Programming Is Absolute Hell
I have to say that Docker used to be very annoying to work with on Mac OS X but with the latest release of Docker Toolbox it has a much better "works out of the box" experience.

The article is pretty ranty but I can agree with the author that many things nowadays are way more complex than they have to be. As a plug, I'm going to say that this is one of the reasons why we started the CloudMonkey.io project. It lets you deploy a docker container with no fuss to production. It's up to you, however, to ensure that you don't over complicate your system unnecessarily.

I've done the mistake in the past where very early on in the project I started using a web server, Redis, ElasticSearch, MySQL, memcached, RabbitMQ, etc.

In most cases, more than three moving pieces only bring you headaches. Now I always try very hard to keep things simple to at most a web server and a database, plus maybe a memcached caching layer. If you need to have a queue or full text search functionality, I'd try to bring it in as an outside service.
The tone of this article is very upsetting. It begins with "I like to think I’m pretty alright at computers", but frankly I don't really agree that this is the case. Good at programming, maybe, but clearly not very good at ops.

Rather than accept that there are skills and experience they don't have, the author instead chooses to blame the entire world for their ignorance. The frustration on display is understandable and real and I totally get it, but the attitude is less forgivable.

Faced with a problem, instead stopping for a hot second to read some documentation, the author instead concludes that Docker is garbage, does some insane shit and then claims that the software industry has failed them. What incredible arrogance.

This article says way more about the character of this person than it does about the state of web app deployment.
National Forests are another story altogether. There are many, many parcels of private land inside them. Some NFs are more private than they are public.

Here's a longtime favorite spot of mine, in the middle of a National Monument. I was driving offroad through this area and stumbled upon this massive, 200+ acre field that had been cleared of cedar. There was a for-sale sign and they wanted around $2,500,000 for this plot. My dream homesite if I had the cash: https://goo.gl/maps/5iKAg
Wow. This is ridiculous.

"I've got a weird set up OS for a reason, but this software should work even though no one else would ever run this."

"Whatever- this database should work, even though I'm using a 4 year old version of the free software(that the docs specifically say needs to be a newer version)."

"Also, I'm extremely inexperienced installing Rails and Rails apps, and despite the fact that it's a language and server that we literally teach the newest of the new, it's just impossible to do anything with."

This isn't a story about the state of web app deployment, this is about the state of the server from hell. This sounds like the kind of thing you hear out of megacorps with 20 year old Mainframes.

Should open source be supporting such convoluted, needlessly minor cases of awful environments?

1. This is mostly MySQL's fault for default silently truncating values longer than the requested length. Postgres and SQL Server don't do this, but that's all I tested

2. Lack of email validation by Bugzilla. Emails are max length 254, though this might not have been official when the code was written. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/386294/what-is-the-maxim...

3. Consider using an HMAC'd URL for registration email links instead of putting a token in the database, as per https://neosmart.net/blog/2015/using-hmac-signatures-to-avoi...
One more thing. 30 days is not the right point as payments are usually due 28 days after the statement is issued and most people (people who carry a balance) pay closer to the end -- all this while things are getting compounded. So your 0.53/mth will be more like 0.9/mth in practice.

As you could this gets into a lot of nuances on how people use credit cards today. We attempted to keep things simple and it lead to a totally different issue, which you raised. We will try to revise it to make it more like a what a user will do over the life of their debt and compare. Again, financial delta for each user is not the issue but rather the 'fairness' of this whole thing -- how does compounding really benefit the consumer?

The particular source here is not the Chinese government but the magazine the Economist and the consulting firm McKinsey. Both are very reputable.

You can go to China or some of the surrounding countries (SE Asia, Japan, Australia) and see for yourself. Or look at the sales reports from Apple. The massively growing Chinese middle class is quite a real thing.

After reading some of the surge-related threads on UberPeople.net, it sounds like drivers say "don't chase the surge" because surge pricing immediately results in drivers saturating the surge area, causing the surge pricing to disappear.

I would be interested to learn more about the profit-maximizing strategies Uber drivers employ, such as whether or not to "chase surge." Any idea where to look?

> Will the DB raise an exception? Will it crash? No – It automatically truncates the data so it fits the column size.

If you write software, never be "helpful" and try to fix problems with input data you can't handle. You have no idea whether the fix you have in mind is going to be appropriate in all situations and there is no guarantee that your users are going to acknowledge the warning you might (or might not) issue in that case (case in point: MySQL does fire warnings, but many libraries don't even expose them to the user, so even if they wanted to check for warnings after every statement, they couldn't)

"Fixing" broken input data is nothing but actually corrupting data because after the fact there is no way to know what the original was, nor is there a way to know whether the "fixed" data was actually fixed or whether it has been that way to begin with.

If you are in a position where you can't do something based on the input data, then blow up. That way you help users to avoid ever having to deal with corrupted data (or all their private bugs exposed to the public like what happened here)

GitHub is not just a place to host Git repos. It has an issue tracking system, wikis, pull requests, integrations with 3rd party tools, and reviews done through a pretty web interface.

If you rely on those parts of GitHub and it gets DOS'd, your workflow suffers.
Not everyone owns a luxury resort. Most of the landowners probably aren't that rich. They just happened to own some rural land when the surrounding area was declared a national park, and most rural land isn't particularly valuable.

As for the government, why waste time and money on a politically unpopular move (eminent domain) when they have no immediate use for that land? Since most rural land is cheap, buying might be cheaper than the cost of a potential lawsuit.

Sooner or later, landowners will die and their descendents will want to move somewhere else. The government, on the other hand, can afford to wait for years, decades, even centuries.

I'm actually curious about the effect faith and upbringing might have on an entrepreneurial mindset.

Does someone who is brought up being taught David vs Goliath and "an eye for an eye" for instance end up having greater capacity for confidence or competition than a Christian who is (in addition) taught to turn the other cheek? What about Islam or Buddhism, what unique effects could they have on a person's psychology?

It's a touchy subject, but religion certainly could be a meaningful factor.

Indeed, not to make this a distro vs distro comment, but with a modern Arch install a few AUR scripts would eliminate (and automate) 50% of the problems here. The other 50% could easily be solved by investing time in becoming familiar with the technology he is working with, or not choosing newish unstable tech when his apparent preference is more suited towards established stable software that has been built (or evolved via usage) to run cleanly on a broad spectrum of systems.
I heartily agree with a successor to Docker being the way forward - Docker is large and embroiled in lots of "ooh cool look at this shiny thing".

I would argue that in the original, "base" was referring to a singular object and was not reduced down from "bases" (plural) to "base" (singular). Therefore, I do not think it is necessary to reduce "bugs" to "bug".

I know you are joking but if we are being pedantic here, "all your swarm are belong to us", would be more apt.

EDIT: Instead of swarm, a name for a group of bugs (errors) would be appropriate.
Er, I'm far, far from a JS expert let alone V8, but I thought V8 does the compilation to machine code and Node serves as the process containing the thread the program is running on, making Node the runtime, and V8 the engine.

"Why the strong anti-China sentiment on HN? I don't get it.

That's quite odd, I notice the opposite. I notice many pro China pieces here on hackernews. Whether it's talking about their green energy, growing economy, financial markets or what have you.

Perhaps you've fallen victim to what's known as hostile media effect? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_media_effect)

It says that you tend to notice more negative media & chatter about something you care about or have an interest in, regardless of reality.

And I think this might actually be the case here because the original commentor above wasn't "anti-China" at all. He was stating a contrary viewpoint. Being realistic doesn't mean something is automatically "anti". If there was an article about the U.S middle class growing this year, and someone posted a comment which disputed that, it wouldn't be an "Anti-American" comment.

Speaking of, I see more "what's with the anti-China comments?" more than I notice actual anti-China comments. In fact, I almost never see truly anti-China comments.
Where did you learn how to build .deb files? Every time I try it ends up being horribly complex and I either go back to a shell script or something like OpenSuse Build Service. Docker is great - when it works, but there's something very wrong with deploying a whole new OS just because we can't work out packaging and deployment properly.
Ok I'll bite. This is a good reason to use PHP. In fact, I first learned PHP because I had a specific web application I wanted to write that needed to be dead simple for relatively tech phobic users to deploy, and PHP won.

For small things it works well and I've never had a single installation as painful as any of the stuff described in this article. For big things, well there's Facebook. It may be ugly, but it's definitely doable.

It's not the new shiny, it's full of warts, and it's unfashionable. (If you tell a fellow programmer you code in PHP you immediately need to rebuild credibility somehow.) I personally prefer working with JavaScript and nodejs but I don't think the deployment situation for nodejs is much better/different from what's described here.
I agree. I'm curious, however, to know what the D&B replacement will be for these types of operations in the future.

regularly broke after every update.

Having used Arch for years and experienced the same thing years ago I've found that stability has greatly improved in the last year or two. I believe they were going through some major transitions back then and now have found a good stable foundation which they are now building on.

I haven't had it break in a very long time and having brought this up before on HN I've had many other people share a similar experience with Arch.

Although this is possibly due to the fact I've become significantly more experienced with Linux as a result of my professional work. Dedicating yourself to a single distro and becoming deeply familiar with it can be rewarding in that sense.

The only mainstream browser that doesn't support TLSv1 by default is IE6, and it's been dead for quite some time.

(At one of my API endpoints, I'm seeing IE6 market share in the range of 0.013%. And this is in South Korea where IE market share is abnormally high to begin with, so I'm sure the numbers are even lower in most other parts of the world.)

So this change has more to do with API clients than browsers. Unfortunately, a lot of API clients are still written for, and run on, grossly outdated platforms. For example, Java 1.4 is as old as IE6, but one still sees it in the wild from time to time.
