This would have been fun if I was able to catch more than MountainView California stamps. I was going to share this with the kids, but as it is, there's very little return on investment. Also, using the view my planes showed me nothing. :( Nice concept, with some rough edges.

Every place is different and while there are obviously bad police officers, there are also some very good ones.

I once had a friend here in Japan who unfortunately was starting to suffer from mental illness. She let her visa lapse and when her employer asked her about it, she decided to do a runner. I caught up with her at the bus station and it seems that her employer had called the police because they showed up too. First thing she did was punch one of the two officers.

In Japan, this is a pretty big deal. I'm sure many people have heard stories about the Japanese police. I tend to be quite careful of them because they have pretty broad powers. Anyway, calm as anything these guys restrained her and just held her until she calmed down. Then they explained how her visa worked and told her where to go to fill in the paper work to get it all sorted. They explained that her employer still wanted to employ her and to help her get things worked out. And then after everything was all straightened out, they left.

Without arresting her.

This was a godsend to my friend who was able to sort things out and as her disease progressed was able to go back home for treatment. I'm still grateful to those police officers. I don't think all Japanese police are like that, but there really are people who are good at their jobs.
I'm not sure the word 'hope' means what you think it means.

Or, for that matter, that "need some help to cover our expenses" does.

But I guess I shouldn't be surprised that "we're not really making money, we just need some help to cover our expenses" is good marketing, and I guess it's not a new technique. I'll have to remember to be more skeptical.
I don't think that it's fair to blame the frameworks. You should see it the other way 'round: They save you 80% of your time. The 80/20 rule is real (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle), 20% of the whole work needs 80% of your time.

If you have problems explaining why features need their time, it's not about your frameworks, it's about explaining the clients in all honesty what happens. Or, if you want to get paid enough, you simply factor in some risks into your budget planning and up your budget. They don't have to know that you only needed 2h to get nearly everything up and running and 6h for that one sneaky feature. Use asymmetric information (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%E2%80%93agent_proble...) to your advantage. It's not about the toolset, it's about your mindset.
You need to come up with a short story and put it on kindle. I'd pay a buck to read it.

University of Chicago | Chicago (IL, USA) ONSITE | Cloud Computing Software Developer

About us: The Nimbus team is a pioneer in infrastructure cloud computing having developed what is now recognized as the first open source Infrastructure-as-a-Service implementation.

About the job:

The job involves participation in two Nimbus projects. First, it will involve contributing to building and operating the Chameleon experimental infrastructure for cloud computing (www.chameleoncloud.org). Specific tasks might involve: working with OpenStack to provide additional features or troubleshoot problems, help operate the testbed working closely with our system administrators, and respond to user requests.

The second project involves participating in development of infrastructure that combines cloud computing and HPC capabilities for resource management and container optimization. Specific tasks will involve enhancing or developing infrastructure-as-a-service system (e.g., Openstack), exploring or orchestrating their interaction with HPC tools (such as e.g., batch schedulers), and performance evaluation.

> hard to fear it more than any other thing that can kill me - a stroke, a car accident, etc.

Hm. I wonder your age. Young folk seem to think death impossibly foreign, and fear it / ignore it all equally. Older folk, that have had more first-hand experience with the decline of the flesh in themselves and those they grew up with, have more an appreciation for the difference between an abrupt death in a car accident, and a slow dissolution like cancer. Quite a lot of people fear dying more than they do death.

*yet

I am 100% confident that within the next two hundred years (baring some massive war, dark age, etc.) We will be able to use gene therapy to reduce cancer risk to negligible levels. We will probably even master the ability to program cells to do what we want... At which point all diseases where the body breaks down will likely be gone. That's not to say, we won't have issues regarding illness - just our bodies won't break down as quickly if at all.
It's like an unintended microcosm demonstrating how these types of neat mobile apps get little traction outside the Silicon Valley echo chamber.
According to these people your parents are at fault :-). They should have either
1) worked in the German factories in Romania and get +200$ more
2) immigrate to Germany to work in the German factories and earn +2000$ more
3) immigrate to Germany and raise you as a German

My point is. Romania should not feel responsible and should not do as Germany dictates.

Romania is trying hard to overcome its corrupt post-communist past but they have a lot of problems to deal with in the first place.
My problem is that it didn't distinguish between cat and dog lives, whereas that was a major part of my decision-making. /s
There's still quite a lot of people doing Angular 1.x though, so at least the train isn't that fast.

I sorta agree with you. I personally like JS and really like Node. Node can actually be pretty simple and fun to mess around with and experiment. I know HN likes to hate on it, but I have fun with it.

Frontend apps always end up seeming like a mess to me especially when suing the latest "best practices" for "maintainability" (ironic as most web apps are abandoned after a couple of years). Unfortunately JS being the only language I'm productive in sorta means I'll be doing some sort of frontend for a while.
Occasionally designers seem to seek credit merely for possessing a new technology, rather than using it to make better designs. Computers and their affiliated apparatus can do powerful things graphically, in part by turning out the hundreds of plots necessary for good data analysis. But at least a few computer graphics only evoke the response "Isn’t it remarkable that the computer can be programmed to draw like that?" instead of "My, what interesting data".

Well, in some ways yes. But experience has a value

Today people use an Arduino to flash a led, "in my time" it could be done with 2 transistors (you can do it with one + one "funny" component I guess - like a transformer)
Very accurate. The web is still highly immature and the rate of change is proof of that. Very much looking forward to WebAssembly (and its full adoption by web browsers) so then we can end this madness once and for all.

I think the genetic component of cancer depends very much on the kind of cancer one has. Lots of other conditions have a strong genetic component - poor cardiovascular health, depression, schizophrenia, alzheimer's, strong disposition towards substance abuse, etc. I would not call it "worse" than for example the genetic likelihood of 80% of developing alzheimers at an early age (which luckily I don't personally have).

Perhaps this is a very personal view - but as I've lost relatives to all sorts of maladies including cancer I find it really hard to see cancer as the absolutely worst bogeyman in the room. That's not to say it's not bad.

And the best is, if you have a fundamental understanding of plain, vanilla javascript all these new frameworks are pretty easy to pick up. I went from jQuery -> Angular 1.x -> Ember 1.6 -> Ember 2.0 -> React and Redux in basically no time. It really wasn't that hard.

Yeah I've done the Cloudflare + GitHub pattern as well for a couple things. But not everything is suited to that, nor needs that. Cloudflare also isn't going to cache large static content for very long or at all. Or just having any cache in between at all might be the wrong solution entirely. Anyway... :) S3 supports this and AzStorage doesn't - this needs fixing!

I think it might go a bit the other way around. The Government of India/IIT Madras is building their SHAKTI family RISC-V SoCs. One or two of these SoCs will be server-type hardware, and I suspect they'll want to run RHEL or similar on them once they're taped out. Of course it'll be a while before they're actually deploying them en masse.

Given that it takes a while for things to get from Fedora to RHEL, starting now seems wise.
I know a white guy whom just got a felony for two pills in his car, a majorly stupid thing you can't do these days. It was all over Fox national news like he was some sort of gang/drug lord. In reality he was just working a full time 9/5 at amazon box and hustling a little on the side to pay the bills. Now he lost his job and is sitting around on welfare because no one will hire a felon.
I know it's super fashionable to hate on javascript, but I'd be very interested to see a similar rant on another area of software. I'm pretty convinced this is just how the industry works.
I think Valve are very aware that their PR relies on them being seen as game devs. Their customer service is genuinely appalling. One of the major things keeping Steam in power is the refusal of players to consider using other platforms.

If they were to sell the HL franchise they risk losing a lot of customer support overnight. They would no longer be game devs, whose blunders can be excused because of their amazing games, they are money grabbers willing to whore out their franchises for short term cash grabs. The risk to the Steam platform just doesn't seem worth it.

If they were to sell it MS would be one of the worst destinations for it. If I were in their shoes I would likely explore having a smaller studio build it. A sale to MS could only be viewed as financially motivated and the quality of the game produced is almost certain to suffer.

However if I were them I would keep it as an ace up the sleeve to bring the masses to a new H/W platform Valve bring out. Such a release could seal the platform that wins its generation of consoles.

I am not great with words, please accept my apologies.

When I say "big deal", I meant it more like talking about homosexuality is now less of a "big deal" then it was back in the day. I am not saying that the loss itself is not a big deal, just talking about it shouldn't be.

Maybe, if we live in a society where it's easy to talk about death then maybe the grieving process would become easier too. Right now, people tend to act weird around people who has just lost someone (I have experienced that first hand), the people who are suffering the loss feel like they have to "stay strong" and not show their emotions to others because they don't want to be a burden. It's a vicious cycle which we can break by just talking about it.
Imagine all the good we developers and artists could do, if there weren't so many goddamn lawyers in the way.
I've always considered moving populations was a crime against humanity because it stems so many problems. The UN and the UCJ (The Haye) doesn't assume this, but I wonder whether they've ever considered it. Whether it's Syrians, various places in Africa, Palestinians, it's often at the root of many wars.

Also, French people think it's our duty to "export peace" to Syria. It's costing us €10-15bn (source: Our defense cost is €32bn per year), on top of €6bn new policemen recruited after the attacks. It's €900 per year per person in age of working when our average yearly revenue is only €22k. We're just choked. I mean either the UN coordinates the attack and the cost against Syria, either we shouldn't be there.

It seems like the whole world is involved anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_involvement_in_the_Syr...

Think this commenter needs to get their facts right first.

First inttra doesn't allow shipper to make the booking it is purely a tool for forwarders. What Kontainers are doing is allow the shipper to do that them selves, and because of this behaviour is actually a pretty big deal. So inttra is not a competitor. Kontainer is removing this step, your making a comment on something you obviously know nothing about.

You should read the article properly before making comments. A schedule doesn't suddenly depart. What the article is saying is that the the data doesn't get into the distribution system fast enough but you can still ring up to get that schedule.
> I think yours is a dangerous attitude, I've seen a lot of mess produced by people who come in to angular knowing other frameworks and their output is terrible.

Outside of a hire-an-expert consulting gig, I really would say the problem here lies almost exclusively on the engineering management, or lack thereof, and broader staffing decisions. I don't think it's necessary to have a project fail for someone to understand a tool[1] but the ability for someone to get up to speed is a function of the time invested in things like mentoring and code-review.

Yes, many companies make the short-sighted decision to skimp on that investment but that needs to be recognized and fought as a management problem – any project is going to suffer in those conditions even if your entire team is staffed with experts because understanding the actual business problems is as hard as the tech stack and if you can't carve out time to think about a few controllers, there's no way that the rest of the problem doesn't have problems which are at least as bad.

1. If true, that would be a huge sign that the tool has major design failures and is not suitable for production use rather than an argument against hiring people who aren't already experts.
bad neighborhoods?
Pardon my ignorance, as it's never been relevant to his work, but where does Pieter live? In the US there's a chance posting that would get the police to your door, sadly.
So I went to the site and you can't make a booking there. So you have to email in for a quote. Where is the digitalization there?
You're dodging the issue. Assuming the officer is guilty outright, seem dangerous honestly.

I have no trouble at all "keeping up" with the "insanity" that is front-end development. If you're confused learning new things, it means you're learning.

At my company, we have moved a lot of our front-end code to eslint-checked ES6 with some plugins, writing react/redux powered interfaces. New hires generally learn the codebase fast, you're well protected from shooting yourself in the foot thanks to type checking and linting and the absence of globals. Our team is many times more productive with this stack than with the es5 + knockoutjs code we built with before.

If you're building a hobby project, just start with a <html> tag with inline ES5 and css, and refactor and iterate from there. Use server-side templates. "keep it simple". But when building client-side interfaces at a higher complexity level, React is king.
I second the part about ego. I once wanted to write a BaaS because I was not happy with parse-server. After considering the time efforts and comparing it with the efforts to improve parse-server I decided to just improve that software and don't care about my own project, because I try to value my time higher than my ego. It isn't easy to be rational if your ego is involved.

But it's also difficult to decide if it's worth it, especially if you've found a real deficiency. The creator of http://propelorm.org said to me that his framework gets him €120k+ offers and that he recommends building open source projects that are in demand.

So I don't think it's possible to give a definite answer what developers should really do. Maybe bit of both?
Library here: https://github.com/passhelp/passhelp (accessible via footer as well)

Basically, I got tired of googling for "password generator" and getting garbage results. "Garbage" meaning the password generator had billions of options, generated things server-side, was super opaque, etc.

I feel like this is as simple as it gets, from a usability standpoint and from a code standpoint. The source is small and auditable (e.g., here's the RNG which is backed by WebCrypto/'crypto' in node: https://github.com/passhelp/passhelp/blob/master/src/random/...)
