Have you asked them? They have some pretty crazy stores about reaching back to repair old gear.
I think this is more a flaw of the authoritarian nature of larger web frameworks. They can't cater to every use case and have to be opinionated in certain areas.

In Django's case I would say their Authentication model was an opinionated choice that has since become a major staple of Django. Many frameworks will not include default ORM-models and will instead defer to the user to implement their own authentication scheme.

Personally I disagree with this choice, I think database schemas have to be flexible and an in-framework authentication setup will only encourage users to lean more on the framework even when it is working against them. I've burned plenty of hours in Django trying to work / extend the authentication model. While I have no doubt much of this was due to my inexperience with Django, there is a certain responsibility with having a framework used by many beginners who will struggle and perhaps pick up bad habits (like expecting your web framework to automagically solve everything) if you do not design it for them.

Overall I think Django is awesome. But it's not for every use-case, or every developer. About a year ago I moved over to NodeJS professionaly, some day I will perhaps go back but have yet to have any significant reason to do so.

This seems wrong to me. This was the state of the art ~3 years ago. Now, I feel like all of the machines should be provisioned already with an OS, and a basic image, and a orchestration system like CoreOS / Mesos / Docker should specialize them.

IMHO, requiring hardware, or the entire machine should be exception, not the rule.
Ugh. Interesting stuff there, but the whole piece is written in an appalling Gaia-worshipping style.

Thanks for posting, if I can answer any questions, happy to :)
The thing I really want to see is how a good authentication and authorization system works, for both the user-facing services and interservice calls. I've looked around a bit and never found a resource that addresses that important problem.
I think there's a reason, why the people who attain the means to sway others stop being idealists.
Perhaps I missed something. I don't see anything about the user accessing Google's protected debug servers that require authorization. I see 'mail.google.com' then 'about:blank' in the url bar, which indicates that he's accessing a public server and then probably accessing data already on his machine. Data that they chose to send to him and present to him within his browser with controls that were displayed to him to allow him to access it because they decided he was authorized to see it.

I don't know much about weev's case except that it sounds like it was information that AT&T had decided that the public was authorized to access without any authentication or protection. They screwed up. I agree that a lot of legal people are tech-illiterate, and they screw up, too. Which may be why they eventually bailed on a venue technicality rather than address the actual case.

But your point was: "Whoever intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains information from any protected computer" (which doesn't really sound that dumb on its own)

My point is that you're authorized to access your own computer and it isn't protected from you, so that would not apply (unless the legals involved couldn't figure it out). Is clicking the 'About' button in the help menu of an application and accessing the version number a crime? Seeing the Gmail debug info in chrome is just that with more detail. Try putting "chrome://about" in your Chrome url bar. Ooh, there's data. Lots of debug data. Are you a criminal now? No, it's your system and you're authorized to use it. And the makers of Chrome chose to give you access to that data. Just for fun, try chrome://quit/
You're right, there's a really good point here that I didn't acknowledge. The way I think of it is that the browser's security model, while not particularly secure from an academic or theoretical standpoint, is extremely widely deployed, widely studied, and well-understood, and in that very pragmatic sense is very well-trusted. Hence, every little thing that affects the security surface area must be exquisitely scrutinized, necessarily resulting in slow advancement in any such features.
Generally in a competitive market, you have one company selling product / service X and a competitor selling service Y which does something similar.

This is fine.

However online communication is different. Imagine if the telephone company would bleep out any time your friend mentions a competitor's company. You'd never know a competitor exists. Especially if that competitor is up-and-coming and doesn't have the pockets to send flyers to every damn house in the state.
I was going to mention anaconda but you already said that.

Here's why that's a bad analogy.

1. This is a news site, not a TV channel.

2. The title doesn't say that it's satire. I know that labeling it satire would ruin the joke, but not everyone is interested in satirizing BaseCamp. I'm one of those people, and I was irritated at having wasted a click. With Seinfeld, I could just avoid the show.

3. I am not HN. Many people may love this, for all we know.
Wait, why? Are you advocating for the use of an abstraction layer where there isn't always a business case for using one?
I upvoted, and not thanks to the Enters :)

I see DF mostly as a work of genius, like TempleOS. DF has a more practical way of touching me (like your sentiment: "it could be the best game ever") than TempleOS, but both are great feats of engineering made by people who are clearly outside of the regular order.

We can only be amazed by what they build, but it's hard to expect them to follow 'mainstream' advice.

A sad story about get_temporary_buffer
It makes the subthread go lower in comment ranking and adds it to a corpus of offtopicness.
It's almost certainly not economically efficient for a software engineer to be darning their own socks. Economic efficiency doesn't align perfectly with resource or energy efficiency in an environmental sense but in this example it is still likely true.

There are economic and environmental costs to everyone having the tools, skills and supplies to repair a reasonable range of products. At the least it likely makes more sense to have a specialist perform any but the most basic repairs rather than doing it yourself.

In some cases repairs make sense from an efficiency perspective, in some they don't. All I'm really saying is that it's better to evaluate the more efficient choice dispassionately rather than painting repair as somehow morally superior to buying new.
In the same spirit, small pods allow far more flexibility than a bus. With small enough pods, i stop at my destination only, rather than every destination that anyone needs. I'd guess 4 or 6 is a useful size, about the same as cars.
You wouldn't want authorization for internal interservice calls, way too much overhead and a firewall is more secure.

Booking.com - https://booking.com - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, a lot of interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a huge tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.

The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned.They take care of you from the moment you get an offer to the point you have set up your house in Amsterdam.

Several people have reached out to me from these threads and have been flown to Amsterdam for interviews. Till now 2 have been given offers and more are in the middle of the interview process.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

... because "estate tax" is a tax on wealth.

... because controlling women is what Republicans want to do. You have to go into very modern religious nonsense to come up with an idea that a fetus is a person, and you've decided that politicians should have more say over a woman's health than her doctor.

... because you hate the idea that a political party could seem "democratic."

Sorry, but peddle that hilarious dishonesty elsewhere. It might fly in Texas, but it makes no actual sense.
Perceived ability vs. actual ability in explaining the STEM gender gap
Someone should do an analysis of past companies on these metrics. It would be interesting to know how Microsoft and Google's business comes out of the equation. On the flip side, we should also look at companies that have folded as well. We might find a minimum threshold of viability in terms of business models.

I have read this and several other articles about productivity, focus etc. to find ways out of my own procrastination. I have tried several things to some success and most often failures. I don't know if I will ever win battle against procrastination. I would like to know stories of people who never had this problem. Who can get work done whenever they like. How great would their life be?

PS. Never commented on HN before, so ignore my comment if it breaks rules/guidelines of the site.
The saddest part about this is that using WebViews really doesn't have to mean that it's clunky and slow. Slack's interface is pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript and it works just fine.
Also probably a lot better than to make MemTest86 do all sorts of network stuff.
The political implications tied to self-driving cars are all scary.

The political implications tied to self-driving trains are not.

The difference being the rails that bind and inhibit true autonomy.

An internet of two-ton things hurtling at 60+ MPH should not be an idea tossed about dismissively. It should at least be locked into track systems, or loops as training wheels, for baby's first sentient AI.
Yeah, that's why that proportion is important. There are a lot of examples for that. XML, C++, PHP. The list goes ever on and on :-).
I'd say Hyperloop is like normal high-speed rail; you have a few main stations, and then supplement links to those with metro and light rail services.

Well, if downloading this doesn't get us all on a government watchlist then I don't know what will.
I do the same but the other way round (maker = morning, manager = afternoon).

I find that sometimes at night I wake up and think about problems and it's best to put them into practice in the morning, before absorbing all the noise during the day.

When I'm really lucky, I just schedule 2h manager time after lunch (because there my stomach is full and my productivity low) and then return to maker schedule.

Just because you use Containers/VMs for most of your apps doesn't mean that the lower levels don't need attention: installing OSes in the first place, hardware testing (both initially and to identify defects later), ...

And for important fileservers and databases you're going to run on specific hardware for a long time.
So are we supposed to ignore that unicorns aren't real and that donkeys are useful pack animals?

I mean, say I show up on a farm looking for work and you tell me there is a cart of manure to haul somewhere, and then conditionally tell me that either A) I'll have a donkey to do the job, or B) I'll have a unicorn. Option B sounds more like I'm doing the job by my lonesome.

The algorithms themselves determine speediness

This is so important I wish people would focus more on it. I recently rewrote some Javascript code in (pure) python and got a good 2 orders of magnitude speed up on large inputs just by picking the right data structures and replacing an O(n^3) nested loop with an O(n log n) approach.
I wish more software developers understood these things.

A lot of games IMO have been marred by this, usually you can see it via really bad banding in dark areas.

My recommendation? A working temporal dither implementation while baking it to sRGB yourself in the final stage of your pipeline.

My other recommendation? 10 and 12 bit output becoming the norm, which Rec 2020 is mandating and future HDMI and Displayport specs will be forced to support for proper 4k support (currently, no 4k TV or monitor being sold meets 4k compatibility requirements due to not supporting Rec 2020's colorspace nor colordepth) (HDMI 2.0 already supports Rec 2020, but does not mandate support for).
I've got absolutely no objection to the information necessary to make such decisions being available to consumers but relying on individual consumers to explicitly evaluate the environmental impact of every purchase is not a scalable solution to environmental problems.

Using the price mechanism, if necessary using well designed taxes or subsidies to price in currently unpriced externalities, is both scalable and done right avoids unhelpful moralizing.
you realize the cloud runs on hardware right. machines don't magically come with everything installed and configured.

Relevant bit from Playboy's interview with Steve Jobs:

> Playboy: What does the money actually mean to you?

> Jobs: I still don’t understand it. It’s a large responsibility to have more than you can spend in your lifetime—and I feel I have to spend it. If you die, you certainly don’t want to leave a large amount to your children. It will just ruin their lives. And if you die without kids, it will all go to the Government. Almost everyone would think that he could invest the money back into humanity in a much more astute way than the Government could. The challenges are to figure out how to live with it and to reinvest it back into the world, which means either giving it away or using it to express your concerns or values.

> Playboy: So what do you do?

> Jobs: That’s a part of my life that I like to keep private. When I have some time, I’m going to start a public foundation. I do some things privately now.

> Playboy: You could spend all of your time disbursing your money.

> Jobs: Oh, you have to. I’m convinced that to give away a dollar effectively is harder than to make a dollar.

I don't think OP is clouded, missing the ugly reality, or ignoring the landmine of public choice. That's why most of it was phrased as a question, and even mentioned:

Or would we just get more corporate welfare, bombers and aircraft carriers?

OP is wondering, not unreasonably, if that reality might be less ugly than what we have today.

You can pay someone to repair your stuff and make the local economy grow instead of dumping and buying a shiny new toy from a big corporation.

Buying new is often not optimal since the stuff you buy istantly is worth something like 20% less from the moment you buy it.

You pay to avoid the risk of buying an used object, for example, but I'm not sure that buying new is the more efficient choice every time.
> Then things like the NSA leaks happen

So I don't think that's the cause here, because:

https://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/what.html

"Press reports that suggest that Google is providing open-ended access to our users’ data are false, period."

"Any suggestion that Google is disclosing information about our users’ Internet activity on such a scale is completely false."

And you have chosen not to believe a statement made in the strongest possible terms. If you won't believe this, then I do not think there are any words that you would believe, so there's no point in trying to get more published.

> What can you offer me other than root access to your servers?

Indeed, and we can't do that because it would invalidate the very security that you want.

> If up until today, Google was a good company and wasn't abusing anything in any way, and suddenly tomorrow they turned evil, why would they erase my data first? They still have it, and I have no control over whether or not Tomorrow-Google will keep it.

The easy solution here is to not keep any of that data in de-anonymised form for longer than is necessary, but then people don't want to believe the privacy policies which say this is happening...
