> Why do I have a "permissions":["admin"] in my profile? :)

Congratulations! :) You're admin of your company. You can add another admin who can deploy nodes or can add analyst guys who can only view data on attacks and vulnerabilities you have.

Does it seem weird that you have Admin status?
When n (for n >= 2) interns are all told separately no, then gang up and demand more time and attention be devoted to their problem, a problem for which a reasonable decision has already been taken and made clear, it is aggravating.

You might have a much higher tolerance to your time being wasted than I do, and that probably does make you the better person. I can take a fair amount of rudeness, lateness and incompetence. Wasting what little time I have on matters that I have already made clear were not up for discussion though, that'll get to me.

> I know that many disagree with me, but for most "web apps" progressive enhancement is dead … Javascript is part of the platform

It shouldn't be, it really shouldn't be. The web should be about GETing, PUTting, POSTting & DELET(E)ing resources (i.e., documents); it shouldn't about GETting executables.

There's definitely a place in the world for a well-thought out universal executable platform, but HTTP + HTML + CSS + JavaScript ain't it.

Progressive enhancement is a good thing: a document which used JavaScript to become a better, live version of itself would be better than an ASCII list of neat things doable with the Google interface; it'd be better than a static HTML document. And it'd be better than a single-page app.

> It's part of the platform, and it's here to stay.

- Seems too black-box-y to me. I'd like to see something more to the point. Then again I'm an engineer but typically for products like this I've found you need at least some engineer buy-in to sell it to a company.

Avoid writing code to begin with by leveraging existing tools, or build better tools so you don't have to write better code (and share with the rest of the world :).
That is a great response and true. What these researchers are proposing does not match the usual meaning of click fraud.

Though the harms it causes are similar:

* advertiser is paying for clicks/impressions from a bot rather than a user

* publisher/network sending lower quality traffic to advertiser faces reputation and financial risk

Likewise, depending on the situation fake social media profiles also can harm the quality of said network.

In terms of damages caused by the researchers' action... clicks would be the most harmful. Especially against insurance, loans, and mortgages which they seem to be interested in. Those have some of the highest CPCs around. (e.g. http://www.wordstream.com/articles/most-expensive-keywords)

Pattern Matching, Destructing, and ADTs are amazing. Inference is much better and not just for local variables.

Higher Kinded Types combined with implicit parameters are the two aces in the hole that make it an asbolute definitive win when heads up against C#. When I had to switch back to C# in my last job (some projects were scala, some C#) this was what I missed the omst. Combining the two gives you the 'type class pattern', which is pretty much the first time i've actually seen composition and code sharing just work without the cruft of an 'OO' like framework.

Interesting take: technical obscurantism as a kind of "captcha."

I'm jumping through the hoops of "Debianizing" something now, and I have to say the Debian project uses similar techniques to limit participation to the committed. The Debian packaging guidelines are very arcane and the docs are kind of scattered and the whole "experience" seems (probably unintentionally) built to keep casual "spam" out of the repo. Not necessarily a bad thing.
> It’s not just deployment, but provides facilities for sharing code and extracting telemetry from your running apps. We believe that operations should be coupled with development, that developer tools should also be operational tools. For this reason, we’re keen to ensure that telemetry — metrics, logging, analytics, distributed tracing — is built-in from the beginning.

I think this is the most important problem IOPipe is trying to solve. Portability between platforms is a good goal but achievable with some discipline about avoiding the proprietary bits of the platform. Making "serverless" software operable to the same (or better) degree than traditional software deployment is the key.

> There's nothing to stop you contradicting yourself by indicating a different direction of travel. Which makes you wonder why you had to indicate the direction in the first place.

You had to indicate the direction in the first place because the system can give you a cab that's already going in that direction. Even if nobody is in the cab it may be going to another floor that someone has pressed the call button before you. If you press a button for the opposite direction it will still go in it's original direction.

Eventually it will change direction and go your way but that just ensures you'll spend the maximum time in the elevator. During your ride in the wrong direction another cab may have freed up or there could have been one already free but a few floors further than the one going in the other direction.

That's also why elevators have the up and down lit arrows at the top of the door to indicate which way it's going. This keeps you from getting on one going the wrong way if it come to your floor first to either drop off or if both call buttons were pressed.

The general idea of taxes to support solutions to housing and infrastructure problems seems reasonable.

Why a tech-specific tax, though? Seems like a general one would avoid the problem of line drawing, avoid the problem of causing resentment in specific industries, and spread the burden out more generally.

It can work anywhere. If your work isn't doing peer code review, they should be - I read somewhere that code reviews are the single biggest driver of high quality software. It is also easy to start up a code review session at hackathons.
Stick around on a codebase that's used by real people.

Most of the lessons about programming I learned by designing and coding sets of features, shipping them, and then being the one handling all the bug reports and feature requests. Performance tuning, defensive coding, debugging technique, ui design, codebase architecture, developer team coordination, ... the list of things to be learned by sticking around for the long haul is endless and hard to replace with book smarts.
What are some great replacements? I know of Google Keep and One Note. I won't use Keep for anything except ephemeral notes because Google will likely kill it at some random point in the future and One Note looks good, but the UI doesn't click with me.

Wikis are nice, except the friction to add and retrieve is too high.

So I'm kind of stuck. I don't use Evernote very often (10-15 times per year), but when I do it does what I need it to do.

This is deceptive because it's an opinion piece on Youtube.

The BLS study that controlled for occupation, industry, part-time vs. full-time, education levels, and other factors found that there is still a gender pay wage gap of 94 cents to the dollar [1].

It's not-fact-based to keep touting the 77% number, but it's just as much not-fact-based to claim there isn't a gender wage gap because women feel "squeezed".

Naming Test Classes and Methods
Preventing compromise and ensuring determinism using checksums and SECCOMP is more reliable and easier to implement than reimplementing in rust an already de-facto secure library used millions of times every day.

I'm sorry but the Rust rationale just isn't there. Porting to Rust is a strictly less efficient way of accomplishing the same exact goal.

Now, writing a new library in rust, that's a different story and actually is reasonable.
Slave labour? I assume you're talking about internship in the US, how does that work?

In France, I personally pay my interns (no great credit to me though, it's a legal obligation), give them a bonus (usually one month's wages) at the end of the internship unless their performance / attitude has been abysmal, and make sure I devote some of my time to training them (although to be faire it probably averages under 1h a day). It's probably not the best deal in the world, but I certainly wouldn't call slave labour...
To put it another way, the British Empire had a "merchantalist" foundation - maintain a positive balance of trade and surplus material assets by forcing its colonies to engage in trade on preferential terms - while the U.S. has been "free trade" oriented in its imperial years, with balance of trade being less important than retaining GDP.

Both have imperial dynamics, but for the U.S. the important part is being the "world's policeman" as it comes with the authority to destabilize regions and install puppets where their sovereign governments may act against U.S. interests. With this more limited administrative footprint, they're free to focus on use of violence and propaganda, while taking up domestic market policies that benefit net importer businesses and thus justify maintaining the empire.

Where people say that the Pax Americana is ending it is in part because the dynamic has grown more multipolar since the end of the Cold War, with a diverse group of nations asserting their interests without being overthrown.

Would be useful to add an "MacOS" label (or Linux/Win) to the HN links when the tools are for a specific OS only, so that users of other OSes don't have to spend their clicks. At least for this project it is straightforward, sometimes it takes a few minutes on a website to find that, well, you can't uset it unless you buy a new computer.
Puppet wars, not Total War. There's a difference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war

We haven't experienced Total War in our lifetime (thankfully), but when referencing the imperial dynasties in history as being more noticeable, it's usually because the wars they held were total.

I'm not seeing the end is nigh unemployment rate. But it will definitely get worse...

With the dropping off potential buyers you reduce the possibility for increased profit.

Sure you can just increase the margin ( and I think that is what we will see more ave more I future) but that growth is also limited.

New markets will emerge and make profits. But economics as a whole will shrink.
SF's position is that they were just fine before the tech companies moved in and want to return to that state. I'm not sure this is inaccurate.

RAM is meant to be consumed. If your browser is using 50MB of RAM and has to swap every background tab to disk then you're not utilizing the resources of your computer, and getting a crappy user experience as a bonus.

It's all kinds of things. I recently read a suggestion that you should be able to remove everything from a function's source except the declaration and the comments, and still know exactly what it does. I'm thinking about adopting that stylistic choice, and after a few weeks/months come back to reevaluate if it's worthwhile or overwrought. Or it will just be so obviously great that it becomes a permanent part of my stylekit.
Speaking naturally results in the thing doing something completely different from what I wanted. Once that happens a few times, I give up and stop wasting my time.

For people like me, without documentation it's just another pile of garbage on the side of the road.

Something on HN I'm actually an expert in... go figure.

I want to say that librarians really do use this document as a guide for the de-acquisition process (though not only this guide). It's a good way to create reports (i.e. show me everything beyond a certain copyright date or that hasn't checked out in more than "x" years) so it saves having to judge thousands of items individually, and it provides excellent guidelines for what to look for when you undertake a weeding project (side note: ideally, weeding would be an ongoing project, but...).

But each responsible librarian (generally of a subject matter) really does (or should) look at the titles they are getting ready to weed and decide if it indeed needs to go, needs to get updated, or still has value and needs to be promoted in some way. And they do (or should) regularly examine their area for items that are in poor condition or "MUSTIE" (one thing I always say to selectors is "If in doubt, toss it and replace it. If it's worth keeping, it's worth buying new.").

CREW also provides an excellent explanation to lay people like community members and library boards for why the process is necessary. People have a strange hagiography of the book, but this report makes it very clear why libraries get rid of items and that they endeavor to replace them if necessary. It's very helpful to have a few copies around to hand out.

EDIT: edited for clarity. Just trying to offer some real world experience on how we use CREW.
I thought you'd end up "dead" (hellbanned) if you get consistently voted down to negative scores. I don't know a lot about actual mechanisms of how karma and voting work on this site, though, so if I'm wrong about that I apologize and retract the "hellbanned" part of my earlier comment.
Yes, RAM is meant to be consumed, but I still find it incredibly hard to believe that my browser NEEDS multiple gigabytes of memory. Regardless of how much I have to spare.
I agree completely. Taking buttons off of the GUI and using different hotkeys doesn't make a better web browser. You just end up with a browser for hipsters.
How exactly do the first five points put Ruby out of the picture? Sure, it isn't statically typed and allows mutable data, but I don't see how any of the remaining points couldn't apply.
