The usual clickbait title will get you to a page by asking a question or leaving something out. "Do butterflies have the dna from two different creatures?!?" (btw The answer to those is always "No") Once you're there, you find its a waste of time. Just to get some impressions or whatever.

I've stopped clicking anything that doesn't answer the question in the title. But that means I can hardly click on anything, especially facebook posts. Because even my friends don't bother to label them! Its so easy to say "This article explains X" but they just leave the clickbait title. So I guess I'll become a hermit.

"This man became a hermit for the Weirdest reason!"
Right. If you get a lot of money it doesn't mean you have to go buy a bunch of crap you don't really want. Rather it can give you influence. You can invest in charities or companies you believe in to shape the future. For example http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/26/us/tangelo-park-orlando-fl...
The simplicity, plus Grunt has an entire ecosystem of already made tasks that none of them really work the same, so you have to learn the quirks of other people's code.

Its basically the NPM problem all over again, but as a build system, while also using NPM which doesn't make not not the NPM problem.
"Photos are less markers of memories than they are Web-browser bookmarks for our lives." How so? Certainly not for myself. Albeit anecdotal, but I spend much more time these days joyfully poring over high-def Iphone photos snapped on trips away or of portraits of loved ones.

Thank you. I take several gigs of photos and videos of my two children every month, which I religiously back up to multiple places. As my boys get older, they love it when I open up a folder of media and get to watch themselves from times before they had developed the mental faculties to form memories of these events. I love it too. A year ago in a child's life seems like an eternity, and I cherish my photos and videos of what seems like such a long time ago.

That's why the first piece of advice I give new parents is, "You have a camera on your phone, use it every single day." Our memories are so fallible and life can be so wonderful, I don't understand how people can object to bottling up as much of it as possible to savor over and over again.
But please do start with 1492, also very excellent.

Devops for me would be things like puppet, networking(subnets, load balancing, firewalls etc) deployments, Cloud Formation templates, ARM Templates rather than directly setting up hardware.

Where a dedicated networking would know specifics of certain vender. You can make career out of just knowing how to set up CISCO hardware and CISCO's embedded os. Devop's people tend to be broader than that.
I agree, but the gp specifically said he wanted to do that!
As input you can basically use any Flink DataStream<T>. There are multiple ways to ingest this data into your Flink program. The most common way is to use a Flink connector for Kafka or RabbitMQ. Or you can also write your own Flink source function. This repository https://github.com/tillrohrmann/cep-monitoring contains a complete working example for the monitorig use case. Instead of reading from an external source, we've defined a custom source to generate the input data. The output data is written to stdout for demonstration purposes.
Marketing is a sprawling category.

Can you be more specific so that I can make a helpful recommendation?

E.g. Are you interested in learning about marketing at a high-level (positioning, messaging, value prop) or about more tactical online marketing (email, paid display & search, SEO, social)?
The decision from the supreme court is available online: http://www.hogstadomstolen.se/Domstolar/hogstadomstolen/Avgo...

As I understand it, actually the sentence that you quote, §24(3), is not relevant in this case. §24 provides three exceptions to the general system of copyright, and this case turns on §24(1), which says "artwork can be depicted if they are permanently placed in a public place outdoors".

So, it would naively seem that photos of public art are not copyright protected. However, the court reasoned that the word "depict" does not cover the act of publicizing the pictures in an open database. They reason based on what kind of use they think the legislators had in mind when passing the law: they think it is intended to allow taking photos of streets, and selling postcards of sculptures, but that a database has more commercial value than a postcard, and therefore the legislators did not intend that to be included in the term...

It looks like they're not rehosting the files, just linking to them on their original host (Libsyn). Does that count as republishing?
They probably do, but why would they want to do so, when doing it would make their results appear less conclusive?
It's not a discrimination anybody cares about because it happens to everyone, minus the unfortunate few.

There is also something to be said about the difference between young and old developers. I personally think the right ratio is about a 3:1 split, respectively. Young developers are usually faster, care more, and actively engaged in the frontier technologies. Old developers are usually tired, jaded, but often more methodical and good to have on board security reasons and structure.
The primary tunnel under Manhattan is completed (this is the one used in one of the Die Hard movies). This seems to be about access shafts for splinter tunnels in Brooklyn & Queens.

There's a lot of spin going on in the local press (ie, Mayoral flacks claim there were no cuts, while other reports claim that the money was shifted elsewhere).

Water meters are installed in all new buildings and buildings which have been renovated. Allegedly the entire city should have had water meters by now but I think a lot of smaller residential buildings still get billed by hypothetical use, not metered.
Agreed in a lot of circumstances. How many bad managers think that yelling to get things done is actually accomplishing something on their part? Good managers have the ability to shepherd their people and resources in a way that gives them a better chance of success and minimizes the potential stumbling blocks. It still requires good people, clear goals, and lots of other things that may or may not be 100% under your control, but even with those caveats, you can generally assume that you'll have a bit more control in management, though parts are more indirect (you're not involved in writing the actual code as much if at all depending on the company, etc.).

But it's really easy to over-estimate that control and your ability to wield it. If the Peter principle is accurate, and people are promoted to their level of incompetence, then it also indicates that people assume their level of competence is higher than it actually is. And then you get project failures, screaming managers, and lots of lost money.
> Therefore, money is seen primarily as a means to self-determination.

And even deeper down, it's a means of survival. The safety net here has pretty much disintegrated since it began to be dismantled in the '80s. A lot of people in the US haven't saved enough for retirement considering this new reality... they haven't even saved enough to get them through a few months of unemployment. There's a loss of hope in rural America now in places where it can be very tough to find decent paying work. It's starting so show up in a decrease in lifespan and in many ways it's very similar to what happened in Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed. The drug of choice there was/is alcohol. Here it seems to be prescription opiates (in addition to alcohol).
Bill Hicks is all the resource you need ;)
On the other hand, look at how (politically) "those people" behave in aggregate. It might only be a majority of 51%, but clearly there is a sizable portion of people in the (traditionally somewhat sparsely populated) south / center of the country that have quite different values than the the people living along the crowded coasts.

Not saying one group is smarter/dumber, just that the difference in values makes it hard to come to an agreement, which can make the "other" side seem stupid / "full of shit" / nuts.

If your benchmark for analyzing the modern left is a collection of theorists from a hundred years ago, you're going to misunderstand a lot more than just this.
Are there places that charge $30K for non Dom Perignon/Armand de Brignac champagne? I think at Marquee (NYC) you can get something larger than a jeroboam of Veuve for $30K. (Probably a methuselah or salmanzar since I think they keep one of them on hand for all their venues)

What top grossing nightclubs in NYC aren't corporate affairs? All the top ones I can think of are; Tao, 1Oak, Lavo, PHD, VIP Room, etc. I'm sure there are smaller ones that are purely independent affairs but they aren't doing 10M+/year in revenue.
Digital Profile goes live
My big problem with what the writer says is that he assumes power comes from position. Most power, and the most useful power, is soft power. In those cases he cites, such as the startup store, where he thinks he could have made a difference as a leader - sorry, but he could have made a difference as a peon if he built credibility and stuck to his guns. Clearly he didn't have that kind of personality, or has too narrow a view of his job.
> In Gartenlaub’s case, the government made sealed filings, so neither the defense nor the public was able to see them. Based on the secret filings, the judge held that the government had shown probable cause that the house to be searched belonged to “an agent of a foreign power."

That's typically what you read about foreign police states.
I was looking for something like this recently to try to do some server-side validation of discount codes to automatically add things to a customer's cart if they have the right code on an ecommerce site. Typically ecommerce stores validate discount codes and payment info behind a secure layer on a different domain, so it's difficult to create any interactivity around your vouchers without pinging a secured server, unless you risk exposing your vouchers by embedding in the client side code. This would be really useful if it could be used to at least create codes on platforms like Shopify, so that you don't have to create them once on your site and once on Shopify.

Also... I hope you have a rate limiter.

It's barely creative. You have a small amount of room to work within someone's requirements.

You can be the guy creating the requirements, but then you're better off specializing in that and letting someone else do the grunt work.

Helpful info for me:

VersionPress is a free and open source version control plugin for WordPress built on Git.

We increase major version numbers quite rapidly, e.g., VersionPress is at 3.0 at the time of writing this, but that does not mean it is production-ready.
On average, Lyft Drivers and passengers seem to be more talkative, more interactive and more fun to ride with. Typically I select Lyft over uber, except when...

I don't feel like talking to anyone.

I get the impression that other people do the same. Basically I pick Lyft when I want to be social and Uber when I don't.

Having both choices makes my life better, and probably better for drivers as well.
> Not to mention what about the harm that comes to the citizens who would have held those jobs

This is a strange argument to make. By even deciding to open the facility in NC in the first place, PayPal decided against 49 other states - do those people have a claim to these hypothetical jobs? Are they forever committed once the location of these future jobs is announced?

MS in information assurance. I've been working as an R&D engineer for the last 8 years. 11 patents, a couple papers (going to Montreal next week to present one), long track record of learning new tech on the fly and building interesting things with it. Hands on experience doing system admin as well (I was doing something like devops before there was such a thing). Years of experience leading distributed teams. Looking for a senior role where I can write some code and help the team do their best work.

I don't know what I'm more sad about in this article, the fact that so much economic activity is dedicated to boast oneself's social status by paying to gain proximity to celebrities, or that these parties are insidious to a celebrity's mental and physical health.

I like the premise of this a lot, but it seems to me that the setting that the author chose (some UI element of a website) is one of the worst possible settings for this: what matters a whole lot more than if your button is red or green or blue is some modicum of consistency.

If you're constantly changing the button color, size, location, whatever... that is an awful experience in and of itself, is it not? If the Amazon "buy now" button changed size / shape / position / color every time I went to buy something, I would get frustrated with it pretty quickly.
Ask HN: Documentation
Hi HN,

I’m working in an early stage startup which grows rapidly. Right now we are just 4 engineers, next month 2 more.
By now we reached a pretty good code quality level, good processes, but we lack in documentation.

Our documentation is very rudimentary, and as we have more and more integrations (CRM, CMS, BI, etc.), decisions are getting harder and harder.

Currently I’m planing on creating the following docs:

- System Landscape (where are our servers, which services are integrated, etc.)
- All Business Objects with their relations
- Detailed ER Models
- Naming Patterns
- Documentation Guidelines

Is this sufficient?
What am I missing?
Which tools do you use to create those diagrams?
Would you put all this information in a wiki or in plain old .doc on a shared folder?
Relatively the same cost per month

For us, AWS is not even remotely close in cost to a rack, hardware, and staff. The estimated spend for us to duplicate our dedicated rack setup in AWS is 3 times our monthly operational costs. And this does not include using any additional services. And to be clear, this includes operational staff, spare hardware, disaster recovery, etc.
Are you really referring to a tenant of Marxism to explain why some people have enough money to blow on trivial things in a night club and correlate it to some sort of future revolution?

This isn't something new - 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous' from the 1980s was based on this exact kind of excess.
So I guess the message is that because Mondo own the stack, they can integrate with 3rd parties eg TFL for missed checkout alerts. IMHO the real innovation will come when they can automate cash management. For instance, if I have a cash surplus, Mondo should search the market for the best short term deposit rate, and execute the transaction on my behalf. And the converse for an overdraft!
It is.

From Amazon S3, who charge you for it.

Then to Linode who don't charge if you're below an allowance.

Then onto CloudFlare who do not charge you for it at all.

I was a CloudFlare customer long before being a CloudFlare employee.

There seems to be more than a few of us for whom phone functionality is the least useful or used feature of our pocket computer. Meat-space happens in real-time, phone interactions are mostly asynchronous in my case (SMS, chats, etc). Mapping, notes, calendars/reminders, search and of course photos are used a lot more. But yes, in the occasion of actually needing a phone call it sure is annoying when your device can barely handle it.
Right, but open("a/b/c/d/e/f/0/1/2/3") isn't slower than open("ab/cd/ef/01/23"). Flatter only matters if you are traversing the hierarchy, which wouldn't be a normal use case for this.

>>You don't know how long you will live

Going by the trends you will likely live long.

>>and what is your old days worth if you broken in your youth trying to be safe when you are 50?

Far more worth than being 50, out of cash or very little of it, competing with a impossibly competitive new generation. Living in perennial fear of layoffs, making ends meet and having a roof above your head. All the while watching your peers who made sound investments already retire and having a gala time now.

>>I'd rather work, as some do, 3-4 hours every single day for the rest of my life, than 12 hour days for 10 years and then compensate my lost youth, health and relationships with yachts or whatever money could buy.

Retirement has rarely meant turning into a vegetable these days. Retirement only means financial freedom to do what you want. Imagine how valuable your relationships will be when you spend quality time with your friends and family, instead of running into old age expecting help from everyone starting from family, friends to government.

>>That is what socialism->communism was about in my country. We have to suffer just a little more and then we'll get there. Guess what. We never got there.

As a Indian who lived through socialism I can tell scores of people 'got there'.
> The CIO at the same place never believed anything his employees told him but believed everything vendors told him. Of course we knew he was taking kickbacks as we kept buying things we had no use for and he kept writing articles for them relating how wonderful their products were for us. Yet we used almost none of it. Some time after I left he was fired and perp-walked out of the company yet immediately got another similar CIO position.

That is galling, but it seems to happen with some frequency. I can't quite figure it out to be honest.
To answer the author's question, TextExpander is asking 5$ a month because you're lazy and can afford it, or convenience as they call it.
Thanks for your kind words. ERPNext looks cool. We try to use open source where we can although we also try to use boring solutions. In this case we already completed the NetSuite implementation so we're not in the market at the moment. BTW I'm not sure ERPNext is ideal for our use case, we would need multi-company consolidation.
If you think "left" is precise enough category to talk about meaningfully, you're going to misunderstand lot more than just this.
Yup, like how the word "retard" became derogatory, which can be sensitive to people with mental illnesses, and "gay" changed meaning several times, etc etc.

All of the items you listed fall under my definition of "DevOps" as well. I loosely define it in two ways:

1) "DevOps is a philosophy, not a title" (this is mostly because of managers thinking otherwise)

2) "DevOps is about focusing on automation of systems infrastructure to improve reliability, flexibility, and security."

Regarding #2, though, since my past experience includes building public clouds, my perspective does not limit "DevOps" to only utilizing public clouds. You can automate the build-out of physical hardware too. It's not really possible to automate rack n stack, but you can abstract that away through external logistics vendors that pre-rack/cable gear for you at a certain scalability point.

Things like OpenStack Ironic, Dell Crowbar, Cobbler, Foreman, etc. are definitely DevOps tools, yet they are specifically focused on handling automation of physical hardware deployments.

As a further example, many networking vendors now provide APIs, but even when they didn't they had SSH interfaces. It was very possible to automate the deployment of large quantities of networking gear using remote-execution tools like Ansible or even just Ruby or BASH scripts. There's no need necessarily to have a dedicated networking person.

Of course, as you scale up to a certain point in physical gear, it pays to have specialization. But that's true even in the cloud, where you may need to hire a specialist to deal with your databases, a specialist to deal with complexities of geographical scale/distributed systems, a specialist to deal with complex cloud networking (VPC et al). Just because something is abstracted away into a virtual space doesn't necessarily reduce its complexity or the base skillsets required to operate that infrastructure.

Keep elections for president but draft people for Congress; keep pay and benefits the same as they are.

You could certainly corrupt some people randomly sampled from the American population, but you would also get the cops called on you, your face punched, sent to the ER with a cap in their ass, etc.

In the current system, you have to be the kind of person who can see the "clothes that belong to the Emperor" that are also "clothes that are invisible". If you pick out random people you will get some who call a spade a spade.

Again, this is demonstrably false. What's commonly meant by "dedicated hosting" is essentially the same service level you get from EC2 - they they care of the network and hardware, you take care of the software (1).

The cost here is 2x-4x lower. In another comment, I quoted E5-2620 v3 w/64GB for $400 which is exactly this type of setup. This is offered by a company that's been in business for longer than AWS has existed and who, in web hosting circles, is well respected. You could definitely go cheaper. You could definitely go to IBM and rackspace and pay as much as EC2, sure...but there are literally thousands of providers in the US, which have been in business for over a decade that'll beat EC2/Rackspace/Softlayer by a wide margin.

Some that I've personally used: WebNX (LA), NetDepot (Atlanta), ReliableSite (NY), HiVelocity (Florida). I've also done it on the cheap with OVH (both Quebec and France) and Hetzner (Germany), as well as on the expensive side with Softlayer (you can negotiate softlayer down considerably even on a small order).

(1) That's disservice to dedicated hosting, because the quality of the network is often better, and you won't get termination emails from your hosting provider or noisy neighbours the way like you do on EC2.
