It's disrespectful in a way that I can't ever fully fathom, but why are they doing it? You need to have a dialogue with them to understand why they're doing the stupid shit they're doing. You need a dialogue to guide them towards becoming more considerate people, otherwise you're just hiding an element of society that will eventually come back to bite you.

Think of them like children - do you talk to them about something they've done, like take a socially taboo substance, or do you make it clear to them that they can't use it in your presence, opening the door to them seeking a place that they can take it without consequence or discussion?
Thanks for giving voice to my pain. Phone number input boxes like to torture me - the ones conveniently divided into three boxes for the three parts of the number. I like to use the keyboard. I tab into the first box, enter my area code, hit tab to go to the next box. But some helpful javascript has already put my cursor into the "next" box, which means I'm now in the third box, and need to back up. Something designed (I guess) to save time has made it take three times as long to fill out the form.

The next time, I remember and decide to be clever. After entering the area code, I wait. But this website doesn't have the evil javascript. The time-saving javascript on the first site has made filling out the form on the innocent website take three times as long.

If you think building micro service architecture can be done without consideration I'm lost for words.

The question–as I've been rightly reminded–was 'CRUD Web App in JVM'; furthermore, we now know that the domain part of the application is already done, so my comment is moot.

That just leaves CRUD, Web, and JVM.
Or move everything to a microservices architecture and use the best suited language for each subsystem. It would force both camps to engineer for composability and open service apis. My tupence.

Looking at Uber's APIs they're built to be sharded.

But sharding comes at the cost of complexity.

I work on an uber-like service and we use crude sharding between countries.

The problem is:

* sometimes your sharding is too coarse - eg. two cities which have no cross traffic

* sometimes your sharding is too fine - eg. cross border traffic

But the real complexity is;

* managing configuration and logic differences between countries and cities

* hosting so many different sharded clusters, routing between them, and keeping them all updated.

And that's where all the work goes.

Homebrew installing outside system directories hasn't protected it in the past and the directory/root lockdown isn't the only change, remember the tun/tap CF that got dropped in their lap? The 10.9 to 10.10 transition broke a lot of things and more than a few were caused by the security changes. Do not trust homebrew to work properly on 10.11 until they can find & stomp on all the bugs Apple has graciously handed them, it's not a safe bet at all and more than a few network apps (for example) do need root at some points.
An HTML5 page with no stylesheet or javascript is hugely functional, legible, and responsive, adapting itself to any device. If there is a problem with a website it's because a "web designer" or front-end developer broke it.

If you can have one server per city then I agree. Especially if those cities are small and you never travel between them. But places like LA totally blow that theory as you're going to have to have multiple servers or shards to cover everywhere.

For what it's worth, the CIA is the only federal agency that keeps their own employee records. Everyone else goes through OPM. They (rightfully) assumed that OPM couldn't keep secrets and that's where we find ourselves today. It's probable that these records are printed, locked in a vault.

James Clapper, the DNI, heads 16 intelligence agencies under him, one of which (CIA) didn't have their records stolen. Though the budget breakdowns are not disclosed, arguably, they are the largest of the bunch and only ones that have deployed field operatives.

It is possible to reduce employees in one area while hiring in another (after all, your company's focus may have changed). These two events are not mutually exclusive. After all, they're not reducing their workforce by...10%, maybe more?...because they're losing money hand-over-fist.
What benefit would they get from using cloud? A lot more money for much worse performance. It's like buying a monthly bus pass when you could buy a Honda Civic for less.

Despite what Cloud providers want you to think, scaling (for most of us) is largely an architecture, design and software issue and it tends to be rather specific to your system (until you get to the point where you have to build your own). "Auto-scaling" doesn't help you make sure you aren't opening too many forking connections to your database, it doesn't eliminate coarse locks, un-optimized system calls, making sure you take advantage of cache locality, sharding, denormalization or really anything that requires effort.

The game changes a bit with the SaaS stuff that PaaS vendors are selling (dynamodb, for example), but then you pay a lock-in price.
I agree with both of your arguments. From my experience ethically cracking accounts, rate limiting, non-default usernames, and non-default passwords should be the #1 priority for Michelle Obama or the next first man/lady. It is a very serious problem.

I had a similar experience (which I tried to "solve" in high school via World of Warcraft), and honestly I see this more in my case as a manifestation of depression, not pure boredom. Often the issue was that nothing SEEMED interesting/worth doing, and once I got started I'd be ok, but the initial push to get started was too much effort, or I'd stop too soon and wouldn't be able to get fully engaged with the activity.

I was just thinking about it last night: I went for a run, which is a little unusual for me, and I was similarly "time free" as most nights but a lot less bored. I felt my ideas/internal state was more interesting/entertaining, perhaps due to changes in my neurotransmitters caused by exercise.

After all, an important point was stressed in the CEO's letter - that their paying subscriber count has increased by 40% YOY.

Being bad at defense doesn't necessarily imply being bad at offense. Security is hard because you have to win 100% of the time. Being good at cyberespionage means getting a win now and then. I'm not saying the US is good at it, just that neither the OMB breach nor the Snowden incident bear on that. And a lot of the info released by Snowden indicate they were pretty good at it (at least targeting their own citizens) or those disclosures wouldn't be such a big deal.
There is no question about it. Same with the District of Columbia and various other places that should arguably already be states. They'd be likely to provide Democratic Senators, so there is a gigantic roadblock to keep this from happening.

Can we nip the climate change religion in the bud?

I hope you find these examples horrible regardless of your opinions on CO2-governed climate change.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFO0ayOz9FY (Warning: This is a horrific video that shows climate change activists graphically executing children and others who disagree with the climate change orthodoxy. It was produced by the climate change activist group 1010uk to promote reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.)

Or maybe we should only strangle doubters and "their kind" in their sleep (Joe Romm). Or just have trials with unspecified consequences (James Hansen).

Persecution and execution are more strongly correlated with tribalism and ambition than religion. See French Revolution, Nazi-ism, high school, and internet comment forums.

Religion is an excuse for persecution, not usually a cause.

>First, "it is impossible to build a cycle helmet that will offer significant impact protection" [1].

At this point I am not sure. The problem seems to be that current designs are based on ancient studies of how much acceleration it takes to cause skull fracture. It turns out that it is extremely unlikely that you will get a skull fracture while riding a bike. The energy justisn't there. Hence, current bike helmets are pretty much useless for preventing brain injury. The energy absorbing foam is too stiff to crush in actual accidents so no energy is absorbed.

Concussion on the other hand does happen a lot in bike accidents and is now known to be a fairly dangerous injury. That has caused a current idea that it might be worthwhile to design a helmet that works against the lower acceleration that causes concussion and doesn't work against skull fracture. Unfortunately such a helmet would not meet current safety standards and as a result could not be a commercial success.

programming in a dependently typed language,
the only question is when.

For the reasons I give in another posting in this thread (inability to extend dependent types beyond pure functions, and forcing the full cost of verification on early states of software productions when specifications are unstable), I predict the opposite: dependently typed verification will give way to program logic, the only question is when.
Rate limiting on everything should be a default.
Why LA, # of drivers, size of the city or # of users? Quick googling says LA is 500 miles squared, with Beijing being 6500.

The only case where I see 1 server failing is # of requests. All their drivers in the world probably fit in a few GB of memory (if that). 99% of a car's movement requires no locking (they stay in the same block), so there's very little write locking...I dunno...give it a 24 core server (or more)...

Maybe the problem is node and python. I don't know python runtime well enough, but this kind of setup is a nightmare for node. Sharing data across processes just isn't what it was meant to do (it rather fork and have a copy, but then your memory doubles per fork, and you have to keep it in sync). That's true for a lot of dynamic languages.

There wasn't much to complain about when going from flathead to OHV, OHC and adding basic EFI and maybe forced induction because those things were relatively small and self-confined changes that created large benefits. Now they're using technology to tie subsystems together and fine tune the vehicle system as a whole. The problem with that is that it creates inter-dependency within the system. How are you supposed to adjust your power mirrors|seats if the wiring for the courtesy lights keeps blowing the shared fuse.

Unless a major breakthrough in drive-train technology comes along that can be taken advantage of we're in the long slow march of the optimizing process where you spend 90% of your resources to get that last 10% of performance.
