> In an ideal world, maybe. In practice, it triggered a huge amount of retries on failed requests from poorly coded scripts, effectively creating a DDoS

I had this happen in production with a client once. Their backend uses a service of ours, and makes roughly ~20mil requests/month. We had an outage of about 15 minutes, and their systems ramped up to make over 40mil requests in this time.

At the end of the month, they tried emailing me that the service had 66% downtime, because their logs showed 20mil 200-Ok and 40mil 500-Errors responses.
Too long. The ideal domain would be “u.rl”.
Vulkan in Open-Source
Well, it was close to 15 years ago now, so read "I'm doubly mad" as "when something makes me remember it, I feel sense of loss, both for what I could have learned if the situation was different, and how I've felt about it and myself over the years regarding it."

I'm mad about it, but in the weird way multiple years can change that into into something that's not quite the same as the word usually implies.
> Look for Southwest Airlines in the widget...they won't pay Google.

Southwest is notable as an airline that won't submit their pricing and inventory to third-party aggregators. This has nothing to do with Google, and is also the reason why Kayak doesn't show Southwest prices.
Sounds like they made it on time: "On February 11, 1989, work ceased at the site, and the pumps were turned off. The hole filled with water overnight. After the pumps were turned off, the site was filled back in so that it would not be a hazard to humans."
NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

Your seasonal affective disorder is in full swing. That lamp they said would help just isn't cutting it. Maybe it's not the weather? Maybe you get the sense that your current role and company aren't the perfect fit, or you're on the wrong career track altogether? Consider NCC Group!

NCC Group is constantly hiring security consultants from ALL backgrounds to join our team. If you’re a tinkerer, you enjoy breaking more than building, or someone who wonders “why” and ends up down the rabbit hole 36 hours later with a disassembled air conditioning unit surrounding them... we’d love to hear from you! Our process welcomes those with years of experience, as well as those with little to no direct experience in what we do.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer.

All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

NCC Group Recruiting Team
Im not even working as a programmer, but everyone says so and pay me well for that title, I get to do perhaps 5-10 minutes per 40h week of "work", actual programming.

The rest is listening to bullshit from coworkers and reading hackernews, reddit etc.

Ive changed workplaces, this is my 3rd in 5 years, and its the same in my experience from those 3 very different "enterprises", "way of working", "agile" and other scrum bullshit methods, manager talk, backstabbing, backtalking and bad coffe.

At work I am quite miserable. Working with technologies I loved and grew up with, Linux, python, distributed systems, yet I look forward to just quitting one day. Maybe start working as a window-cleaner or similar.
I'm 30 years old, I started programming BASIC on my Apple IIc when I was 7, so this is the only life I've ever known. It's difficult to see the forest from the trees enough to known if I like it, it just "is." What greatly troubles me is that to continue to push the envelope in the fields I work in as I always have and always looked forward to, I am essentially compelled to violate my personal code of professional ethics and build super creepy technology that violates the privacy of other people. I know that if I don't do it someone else will, but that doesn't help me. It leaves me very conflicted.
I don't like being used to make people money. That part of it sucks. Programming is great, the fact that you are making things is incredibly challenging and fulfilling. Being viewed as a boy genius instead of a human being is the trade-off. I feel like this industry has forced me to become more anti-social. Always on the lookout for the next snake trying to steal your work or use you for their next big promotion.
I mean in terms of foreign policy (keep USA an unchallenged number 1 militarily and economically) and willingness to use surveillance as a mechanism of control. I get your point that socially or whatever she's not a neocon, but we're not talking about views on abortion, etc. in this thread. Do you have a better word than neocon?

> Janet Napolitano [was] the Secretary of Homeland Security under Barack Obama.

That qualifies her w.r.t. surveillance and exercise of power. Sounds a lot like her approach to the UC system! Barack Obama, while a Democrat, commands a fleet of extrajudicial killing machines that have been used to murder American citizens without trial. It was during Napolitano's time at DHS that drones for surveillance and control (read: killing) became cemented as governmental policy.

Elsewhere here commenters mentioned John Yoo and Condi Rice for their roles in enabling W's torture policy. How is Napolitano's support for drones (and many other things - http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/07/17/janet-napolitanos-...) different?
This seems like a good Uber-style model for Sprint to play with. Hiring up thousands of full timers for this purpose might be simply too expensive for a company that hemorrhages money regularly.

But what if Sprint had an app where its customers could apply to become Network Advocates and after passing some requirements, could get forwarded requests to demonstrate network and modern device.

In return, they'd receive like $10 or a credit on their bill. It could be a way for a savvy young consumer to basically get free Sprint service in exchange for the powerful new advertising.
>This is never a bug. You can't be that amateurish.

As someone who has been a sysadmin for a decade in environments that are at least 50% MS, I can tell you that, yes, they can be that amateurish and usually are. In other words, Hanlon's razor.

Microsoft, even at its best, is definitely a 'wait for SP1 before putting in production' company. Now with Nadella, they're even worse, and Win10 was clearly rushed to stop the poor publicity of Win8. Win10 won't be fully cooked until 2017-2018 at this rate.

Also, history of this happening in Chrome and Firefox:

http://www.ghacks.net/2016/01/11/chrome-incognito-mode-leak/

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709326

Lastly, you have to be a fool to think private modes save you from any kind of snooping. At best, they just make purging history easier. At worst, they give people a false sense of security. Your stuff is sniffable all down the line unless you're using a VPN or Tor.
They never said programmers SHOULD make as much as doctors (or lawyers or finance).
Honestly, I really love it. Yea, there can be insane deadlines and it can be frustrating work, but it's so satisfying overall. In my job, I get a lot of freedom to do my own things here and there, and we're getting into a major rewrite of internal systems to use Azure. Currently it's a huge amount of fun.

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. Around 10 people 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).

To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog: http://blog.booking.com/

I always enjoy the irony of a comment like yours which criticizes my comment but itself adds no value to the conversation and instead is "meta-whining". Unlike my original comment, yours has added literally nothing to this thread, and now that I've replied to you, you've catalyzed more off-topic meta-nonsense. Thanks!

That's a category error. Racket is a single language/system/implementation. Common Lisp is a family of very different implementations.

Various Common Lisp implementations do inter-operability very well, too. Some even quite a bit better than Racket.

Microsoft Puts Name on Line with Iowa Caucuses Tabulation
Especially as I went from "on my own" to working with a team of f*cking brilliant people, I had some serious self-doubts. We instituted a review system that includes anonymous peer reviews, and it was insightful to see what others felt I was both good at and upon what I needed to improve. Seeing what others value in me helps me realize that, while I have so much to learn, I am providing value not only to my employer but also my team.
I'm a jack-of-all-trades with experience in dev ops, testing, and requirements development. I design systems that are extensible, reliable, and modular and help teams improve their processes to work with their natural working style.

I have been toying with one fantastic idea lately. I know why it would seem like a pure fantasy, and I'm not pretending that it's anything more at the moment, but give it some benefit of a doubt.

It's quite simple. Imagine, just for a second, that current trillion evaluations for all the unicorns will turn out to be true in some point in the future. How can it be? What will be going on in this fantastic world? There's only one possible explanation: internet ate everything.

The dotcom boom hanged on a very simple, explicit assumption: that internet commerce is viable. That people actually will spend money on the internet. Of course, it lead to a bubble, and that bubble burst, but the assumption itself turned out to be correct. More than that: the valuation that NASDAQ have given to the whole internet industry in the late 90s is a reality know. Of course, individual 90s startups weren't worth that money, but internet industry as a whole certainly is. Even if you judge it just by turnover, without even looking at prospects of growth.

So, the first step of internet revolution that was promised by dotcoms already happened. But what about the next step? No one is really talking about it, because it's too fantastic to believe in and nobody wants to be laughed at. But we know what it can theoretically be: the current wave of SV unicorns will _eat_ their respective industries.

Imagine it. 90% of taxi industry is Ubers, Lyfts, Getts. 90% of book industry is Amazon. (Wait, that almost already happened). 90% of TV is Netflix and stuff. 90% of payments are Square and Paypal. 90% of hotel industry is AirBnB, Booking.com and something else. Walmart have gone after Blockbuster, everybody orders groceries with online drone delivery. Giant malls stand abandoned, everybody's ordering from AliBaba. And so on.

Of course it sounds a little stupid; I drastically simplify it, so we can talk about it without spending time arguing about inconsequential details. And don't forget, all this is more like a fantasy right now.

But the point is, in this fantastic world such initiatives by Google, just as free basics by Facebook have nothing to do with charity. Remember, how in the 90s, the only companies that really made money of internet were telecom companies, because the only sure way to monetize an internet user was to charge him for access? (Oh, and porn of course). In contrast, in this fantasy world, the cost of internet access will become insignificant compared to all the money you can get from a person with internet access. And in this fantasy world internet corporations will gladly provide you the access for free. May be they will still charge you a couple of cents for 100Mbps to 1Gbps upgrade, but the 0 (zero) bps to 1Mbps upgrade will make so much money to them that you have no chances of paying for it.

Compose (IBM) | REMOTE (US, UK, CA)

Developing software appeals to those who love to solve puzzles and apply their brain power -- and also to those, in our experience, who like working from home in their pyjamas. If you're looking to join a forward-thinking industry with a stable outlook (databases-as-a-service), we have a tremendous challenge for you and a terrific team willing and able to support you through it.

Here are a few things that's great about our team:

* Work from anywhere! As long as you're legally able to work in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.

* Self-managing, open culture. Choose your projects. We're deadline averse and quality focused.

* Ruby/Go.

* Fantastic salary and benefits - MacBook Pro.

* Join a thriving, respectful and family-like international team.

* Fair and objective hiring. Participate in 'blind-hiring'.

Our hiring process is nifty. We request a work-sample upfront that closely resembles the work you'd be doing within your role. Once you submit, your answers are anonymized then graded by 3 different people following pre-defined criteria.

We want to know, objectively, who is going to both enjoy and crush the work. We have three positions open for candidates:

* Platform Engineer (More back-end)

* Application Developer (More front-end)

* Technical Content Creator ('Developer Advocacy' type of role)

For the full postings checkout https://compose.io/jobs or email jobs+hn@compose.io with a quick tale about a database you loved, or didn't love and which role intrigues you.

If you have any questions, we'll gladly answer whatever you'd like. Everyone gets a personal response and a fair, respectful 'go' at the process.
> I am a particularly privileged individual because I have a choice of what labor I can do, and even how much to an extent. Most people don't have the choice of just switching careers because they feel like it, and even fewer have the option of even realizing that there is some sort of activity that would be more fulfilling than what they do to survive.

This is poisonous thinking. Programming is one of the most accessible industries on the planet that doesn't involve physical labor. If somebody has the desire, they can learn how to program and land a job for FREE.

People seem to be squarely divided into two groups in this world: those who believe life happens to them, and those who believe that they make life happen.
No. It points to ftdi not providing specs or tests for detecting fakes. They just randomly break shit. If there was a way to reliably check for fakes, people would use it.
