Thinking that turning buttons red is the major problem of programming is mistaking the interface for the substance. It's as if you wanted to teach people how to develop new automobile technology by selecting the shape of the steering wheel, the fabric in the interior, and the color of the paint job.

The problem with programming is that computers can't understand your intention. What amateur programmers need is side-effect free functions, efficient abstracting away of cores and memory-management, and static analysis that makes functional bugs as obvious as a leak in a plastic bag. Computers will never understand your intention; programmers barely understand your intention and they have a lot more in common with you.
Shame you didn't read any further, it was a good article. Though not necessarily a criteria for success, some businesses have requirements that make many services make sense. We may not need that many services, but its always interesting to learn how folks solve their engineering problems.
Or recall all the other times a silver bullet has been hyped - first I recall was "the Last One" in the late 70's early 80's
Again you've suggested the introduction of problems without mentioning a single one. I'm not saying you're wrong (because I don't know what you're saying yet), but I don't think you're adding much to the discussion here.
It's quite disingenuous how commentaries like yours bundle 4chan and reddit as a "virtual cesspit" of some sorts. The variegated setup of these communities makes such a comparison sound willfully stupid.

There are lots of communities within reddit and 4chan that are equally moderated and tended with curated posts and contributions and I'll be surprised you're not aware of this. HN on the other hand is a one size fit all!

Instead of pointing the finger in the other direction why don't you focus on the question OP asked?

But lichen... You know, now that we have a functional understanding of their biology, I'm quite excited to see what this new knowledge will yield when applied. Pharmacology, materials, food production/processing — "We don't know what we don't know," but having more data helps us to learn what questions we can ask.

That said, someone could probably code a locally hosted react app that wrapped the CLI, and also indicated/logged what commands were run, output, errors, etc.

I love CLI, I live in vim and tmux as much as I can, but I think point and click interfaces are better for discovery, whereas a command line interface is better for reproducibility and therefore instructional learning.
Programming is done in code for the same reason mathematics is done in notation, for specificity.

Doing programming in plain English would be just as cumbersome as doing math in plain English.

I don't think anyone can quite fully imagine the nightmare of trying to program in a recursively enumerable language[1].

Well that's just a scam. A honeypot, at least in common parlance on this site, refers to getting a specific group of people to run/interact with something in the interests of compromising their identity and/or blackmailing them. What you're describing is pretty much just the MO of shady torrent sites.
I have mixed feelings about this. I still use Yahoo once or twice a week to read their news feed, and I am a long time Verizon customer (although my wife and I are considering saving a lot of money each month and switch to Google Fi when we need new phones).

I would hope that a media company like Yahoo could have existed independently from a parent company.
There is no point in burning out quickly. Burn sustainably.
Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Briefly I would say that we care about availability more than performance, though both are important. We're running somewhere on the order of 2000 VMs w/ ESX with some bare metal systems running database clusters. We have a separate team that manages the hardware infrastructure and they have their own monitoring and alerting system. I'm mostly concerned about preventing downtime for the application cluster, alerting the right people via the right means (chat, email, pagerduty) when something does go down, and getting some high resolution graphs for analysis.
I was focusing on 50 years into the development of the technology as a rough analogy. By 1966 it was much more mature, but look at how much things have changed. A mechanic from 1966 would find today's cars completely unrecognizable. They might appear somewhat similar from the outside, but on the inside they're basically just giant computers. We now have cars with varying levels of self-driving capabilities, drones replacing pilots, traditional pilots being essentially babysitters for autopilot systems, hyperloop designs. I'd say those are much bigger changes than 1936-1986.
read your comment right after I posted mine suggesting something like this wrapping the CLI.
Yes, for all the problems of racism, militarization of police, etc. the nature of the job is that police officers have to make split second decisions that can have awful consequences.

It is hard enough when the people involved are trained professional gunfighters, but even worse when it is just some average person who decides to pack a piece. There you are dealing just with competence at actual gun fighting, but even people who are so bad at just operating a gun that they shoot themselves on the way home from a gun safety class.

(Oddly, the first thing I learned about gun safety is go to the range, load the gun there, shoot all the bullets, don't carry or leave a loaded gun around)
Life is a circle you feel lost then you find your way, only to find its not your way, then you feel lost again, and it goes on till you die. Know this that you will never find any deep meaning to life, its all there it is to life. Its simple give happiness to others, be honest and just enjoy your time here doing things you want to do and then leave in peace. Be happy or not its immaterial, you can't be in one state for long anyway. We are all but a pale blue dot in the vastness of the sky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot
Could you explain a bit more why things get harder if service X is using service Y? I'm sort of the opposite of you in that I haven't used much of the Mesos stack yet but am familiar with Kubernetes. Services depending on each other is pretty trivial in Kubernetes so I'm wondering what makes it so hard in mesos.

Why do you assume that this design document would be simpler to create than the traditional computer program? Because otherwise, this is exactly what happens now.
I don't think it has to be a fully-qualified Strange Loop to be influenced by Hofstadter's thinking.

In order to grok strange loops, one must learn to accept rather than reject paradox. "Logic" doesn't like paradox, and tries to get rid of them when they are encountered. But once you've read GEB, you're sensitized to accept paradox.

I agree that all strange loops are paradoxical, but not all paradoxes are strange loops. Where I don't agree is that just because an idea isn't a strange loop doesn't mean it wasn't inspired by an awareness of strange loops. Without Hofstadter's idea, Chang would never have had this breakthrough on his own.

Honestly, this isn't surprising. Niantic isn't historically vocal about behind-the-scenes stuff.

Er... it is $100. Lots of things are going to be compromised to hit that price point. I'm reminded of the various $200 laptops out there, like the HP Stream 11: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/review-hp-improves-it.... They have many drawbacks. But their price is incredible.

I've put a lot of $200 laptops in Department of Education programs not because they don't have drawbacks but because they're functional and still allow incredible bang for buck.

Employment contracts aside... Let's just ask ourselves, is having a job optional?

Of course it is optional, because no one is holding a gun to your head, right?

But "everybody knows" that 1. if you don't work, you'll sooner or later (perhaps sooner!) be homeless and 2. homelessness can lead to sudden, violent death.

Just because the trigger and the barrel are far apart doesn't mean it isn't a gun.
Yes, I understand that. I'm going further and saying that anyone working here should expect to lose their spot for any reason or no reason on a monthly --- meaning, effectively, instantaneous --- basis.

I have a lot of negative things to say about WeWork as a business, and some netting-out-positive things to say about the particular West Loop WeWork space I'm working out of right now. But most of all: I'm here with my eyes open. There's also the concern of "is WeWork even going to exist in 6 months"?

Ask HN: Has “The Bug Nobody Is Allowed to Understand” ever happened to you?
Description of the bug: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bug-nobody-allowed-to-understand.en.html
Yes; traffic. Anywhere within an hour to two hour commute to SF or SJ or the peninsula carries a huge premium, and it's not like we can just hop on a train to the city. The yellow line reaches the furthest into the east bay, and all the places along it range from "pretty expensive" to "rich people area". The blue line to Pleasanton...well, it's called "Pleasanton", what do you think it is? Lots of rich people live there and the "downtown" is one street. They complained a lot about BART even running out there ("we don't want that inner city crime coming out this way!"), and BART doesn't run to SJ (not even close; even though that was in the original plans: http://io9.gizmodo.com/5866928/a-map-of-san-franciscos-subwa... ).

IMO if we had proper mass transit, it'd alleviate many of the real-estate problems we see now. All the low density and NIMBYism makes that a pipe dream, for now and the foreseeable future.
"there isn't much to do once you've caught them all"

This an extremely short-sighted comment. The developers created a digital world they can modify at will. They can add any number of items to collect, add mini games within the game, create new quests, etc. The possibilities are literally endless.
Those are the excuses. I think the actual reasons are much more sad, visceral and disgusting.
Give opsee a try https://opsee.com/
Many people come to HN because its user base often has interesting and insightful opinions about and experiences related our commonly shared interests. Hardware, software, tech jobs, startups, etc.

When it comes to topics outside of those areas, the discussion can largely be boiled down to what your morals are about a particular topic. Discussing morals is boring and you will rarely change anyone's mind. Because of this, I don't really see the point of discussing it unless you care specifically about the person you're discussing it with.

I think a lot of HN users agree, and so these topics get flagged and hidden.
Yea its sad to see such educated people become spewers of childish non-constructive rhetoric. Although it is very helpful in determining some people you would never want to work or associate with.

It depends on what you want to achieve, but Nagios works well and Graphite for trending is also quite useful.
> I'm talking about human-guided programming without using traditional programming language, creating a design document to lay out what it does and how data flows and allowing the computer to sort out the details based on a stored data set.

Creating clear and accurate design documents is so much harder and more specialized a skill than programming that many places that do programming either avoid it entirely or make a pro-forma gesture (often after-the-fact) in its direction.

(I am only about half-kidding on the reasoning, and not at all about the effect.)
Because sometimes you want to work on your bed and other times you want to work on the couch. At the office, sometimes it's useful to be able to work at the cafeteria or bring a laptop to a conference room to use as part of a presentation.
And designing cars hasn't become easier, it's become exponentially harder as we demand more from them.
Agreed.

The majority of interesting projects to me have been fairly radical with political, social or economic propositions behind them even if that wasn't how they were advertised.

All the interesting things seem to happen on the peripheral. Whether the opinion is right or wrong for all time doesn't matter so much as it being divergent from regular thinking.

It is not that conventional thinking is bad. It works 99% of the time or it wouldn't exist. The problem with it is the same as with any habit. The population gets into a rut and begins to think there exists One True Way.

That's a big part of why I enjoy Less Wrong's Sequences and Slate Star Codex. It's so easy to fall into lazy thinking habits and sometimes the right turn of phrase or analogy can snap you out of it.

Examples (perhaps poor, you be the judge):

House prices go up. Why? Shouldn't they depreciate like cars? What's the difference between the English and Japanese housing market? It is culture or central bank policy?

Democracy will exist in the future. Why? They never lasted more than 2 centuries before, has that really changed?

This is not to say democracy shouldn't exist or house prices should rise, only that we ought to question our priors.
The past couple of years (maybe since Haswell, or 3 years) have been slower progress, but on the other hand I'd say the low hanging fruit on mobile chips have been picked too by now and the progress there is also winding down.

People have been chatting and surfing and whatnot just fine with their 200MHz Pentiums at the time, so its not that surprising that it might be bit difficult for many people to truly appreciate just the amount of power available these days. Of course Wirth's and Parkinson's laws do not help here either.

Just for fun, here is a small comparison with 9 year old CPU and 3 year old CPU: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/55?vs=837
"It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore"

Niantic has experience in longevity for this type of game https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(video_game) ... Nintendo does too.

I believe that they have been paying a premium for ad managers, by the data point of a friend who got a nearly 50% bump when hired at their Boston office in the past year.
I take it the commenter is talking more about business roles than engineering. To be sure, there are unique engineering problems that massive scale companies face.

For business leadership roles though, you often see people trying to coast on successes that they had little role in creating.

To be fair though, there are great leaders at all kinds of companies. And the success, money, and potential impact one can have at companies like Intel and Google attracts a lot of talented people. I think it's just a matter of not automatically assuming people are great just because of what's on their resume.
No, flappy bird was a slow burn
you realize that's exactly the info you're supposed to have on hand for a standup in scrum or any other Scrum-like agile methodology. What you accomplished yesterday, what you're going to be working on today, and what obstacles you need help with.
Supporting your opinion the BLS puts the job outlook of a programmer at -8% between 2014 and 2024.

I hold the same opinion as you. I think that new languages and tooling will empower people to do more with less while being easier to learn. Combine this with globalization plus stagnating economies and the outlook of programming as a career seems less lucrative.
Sometimes people volunteer this information very early in the course of meeting. Maybe this is why...?
You don't have to unless you want things like nightlife, good food, cultural events, etc. It's true that you can survive in the peninsula without those things, and every bar around is not dead, but it's not the city and not even close.
I'm sorry, but you need to spell out clearly what you're saying for some of us.
Orange chicken at Panda contains wheat, soy, egg, and dairy products. [0] These are all things that are commonly used in fast food to thicken up the taste. Wheat, soy and dairy also have a small element of physical addiction from opioids - it's not just that people like the taste of these things.

> You directly manage the ingest rate at the server side

Why in the world would you want to manage (which I'm reading as throttle) the ingest rate of a monitoring service? That strikes me as a recipe for missing important events.

Monitoring should be a fairly stable load rate. If you're setting up monitoring, and your machine can't handle the load of all the data points coming in, you need to shard out, not drop data points.

> Active polling scales _better_ than the alternative

Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence. Personally, I have never heard of anything that is actively pinging outside services performing better than receiving and processing data passively.

Prometheus will scale better than Nagios running active checks since it won't be using subprocesses, but it is still going to require more overhead than a service receiving passive reports.
I think of it more in terms of different techniques applied at different stages. One example is deglazing. Fry a piece of meat, and little sticky bits of meat and caramelized fat stick to the pan. Remove the meat, wash the pan with wine or some other liquid, scrape the meat remnants into it, and you get a sauce for the meat.

Another variant of the concept is red-eye gravy. Cook sausage, deglaze the pan with coffee. Then the gravy becomes a connector between the sausage you're eating and the coffee you're drinking.
We've been using riemann and it's wonderful. There's a little bit of learning curve as the configurations are just clojure code, but since it's all code you can build whatever you want on top of it if you know some Clojure. The DSL is well thought of and we ended up writing a REST API on top of riemann to make our monitoring stack self-serviced for all the internal users.
How can such conditions be 'substandard' if they are the norm, and thus, presumably, 'standard'?
Not online AFAIK, but "Taste What You're Missing" by Barb Stuckey is a pretty readable book. It's more about how the tasting works on the human side than the actual cooking part, but it goes into some detail about how different tastes work together, as well as why different people taste differently. It was helpful to me to sort of emphasize the high variation in tastes between people.

Modernist Cuisine is probably the most well known reference for actual cooking theory, but it's crazy expensive, and some people have problems with supporting Myhrvold.
Well you didn't finish his comment, it wasn't "because your side lost," he had a very specific reason:

You're being just as prejudiced as you claim he is if you don't even bother to acknowledge what he said and merely assume its do to his prejudice.

My uncle used to say to me nothing ruins a business faster than changing it. He gave an example of a diner that did well for decades then decided to expand and very soon after went out of business; bankrupt.

To me reddit has done well because it has stayed the same for years digg is the diner that expanded.
It's pretty easy to see just walking around the neighborhood that there's already been a drop in interest.
Well, it's dramatic in the little things, but not so much in the big things.

Cars now go 100,000 miles between tune-ups. They used to go, what? 10,000 miles?

Cars are much safer in collisions than they used to be.

Most cars now have air conditioners. I've driven in a car without AC in Arizona in July; believe me, AC can be a really big deal.

Most cars now have automatic transmissions, power steering, and power brakes.

And cars get much better fuel economy.

Driving from NYC to LA takes less time due to interstates and higher road speeds (and cars that can comfortably handle those speeds). Not half the time, but still a significant improvement.

And yet, most cars are not dramatically different as far as the experience of driving them is concerned. Nothing in the last 50 years looks revolutionary. It's been an accumulation of improvements, but there has been no game changer.

I suspect that the next 50 years in computing will be similar.
I don't disagree with your desire for better quality, but as of this moment; I'm not aware of any competing products that allow your phone to transform into a laptop. The only one I was aware of is a Motorola product from 2-3 years back. If there is one, feel free to link to it.

Your complaint sounds a lot like the complaints that people made when the iPhone first came out: nitpicking the specs and disregarding the paradigm shift that it brings to the table.
They better add those things really, really soon, before the userbase gets bored. Because right now, there isn't much to do once you've caught them all.
You chose an interesting nickname, within the context of your comment. Tell me, are you anyone else, too? :)
>So.. I guess start identifying yourself strongly with something. What that something is not very relevant, cast a dice and see what sticks.

Nope, that's not what Krishnamurti's pointing to. He's pointing to the problem with identifying with anything -- objects, ideas, personalities, character. That this identifying strengthens the sense of self, which leads to a fear (of death, death of the sense of self).

Just offering my words on the subject. Read him and make your own interpretation. Better yet, inquire upon your own experience and form your own understanding.
