Other attempts at changing products "without any affect to the taste" have very much ruined their taste for me. If they do that to KitKat, I might have to take a day/week off work for mourning. I'm hoping since this is just a different sugar structure, I'll be ok.

Maybe around October next year I'll buy a spare freezer and start stocking up.

From my understanding, this is already present in modern architectures and systems, and will keep increasing . Instead of building only general-purpose circuits (e.g. something like a CPU), you can build lots of special-purpose circuits (multipliers, CRC, FFT, AES, hashing, h.264,...).

Cotton candy. Highly patentable.
I know there's no obligation to invest in services that don't make money, so please don't take this as some kind of expectation of that. A dedicated team doesn't always mean there's an equal distribution of quality and innovation. You can have a dedicated team that's so small they only have time to do bug fixes or a team with less talent/experience because everyone wants to move to teams working on the projects with the most organizational momentum.

I think you may be going too far the other direction, WRT "[you'll] also [find] disclaimer comments on how tough it would be to actually exploit" - there have been several findings that were quite bad even without being properly weaponized. [1][2]

The remark about wholly getting rid of AV is also at least partially disingenuous, since I think most (all?) of those advocating it were suggesting that the built-in protections of Windows Defender/MSE were sufficient for most use cases.

I've been pretty happy with the devices, when they work. But they don't seem built to last. Of the 6 Fitbits I've had in the last 5 years (the original, 2 Fitbit Ultras, 3 Fitbit Zips), only one of them didn't fall apart or otherwise stop working .. and that one I lost. The Zip in particular seems to have an issue with the battery cover, where it wears out and becomes too loose and the device won't stay powered on.
Why do you add "long monologue" to your counter example? I don't think adding that modifier is a fair equivalence.

And I'll add a counter-point: rm -rf stories, things like piping /dev/random to speakers or the first time I accidentally did the equivalent of whiel(1) fork(); were an integral part of my early appreciation and enjoyment of computers. I'd argue they are fairly analogous to things blowing up in chemistry.
Rather than insight, the post you're replying to shows a lack of imagination.

Just off the top of my head, I ask myself how much revenue TechCrunch pulls in, and what it originally started as - and I can see a path for PH to become a 'real' (as in meaningful, sustainable revenue) company. Just because it isn't full of whizbang tech doesn't mean it can't make plenty of money and be valuable to other properties.

And that's just with 20 seconds of thought put into it. I'm sure there are many other angles as well.

> what I found more impressive about Google Cloud is that it requires a far fewer number of people to get things done compared to AWS.

Yes. This is exactly why I keep pushing for Google Cloud.

I've found a way to talk about costs with understandable graphs, I didn't find a way yet to talk about the huge gains because it's easier to manage.
Any idea how they compare?
So how much did AWS have to pay to buy the entire front page of HN today?
Ask HN: What steps should we take before open sourcing our business?
Hi HN! I'm one of the founders of Instant 2FA (instant2fa.com), an easy way for developers to add 2FA support to any website or app in 30 minutes.

We're in private beta right now, but since it's such a security-critical product, from the beginning we've planned on open sourcing the entire business. With a little more than a month until we plan to launch and do that, we're starting to get all of our ducks in a line and are hoping the HN community can help us avoid making common mistakes!

My question for the HN community is this: if you run an open source business, what issues have you run into that we might? Are there any we should definitely do before we open source everything?

Reposted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12854996) from last month's thread, as it's still relevant:

The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is currently laying off over 100+ (union, management and contractor) IT folks from the Enterprise Technology Solutions (IT operations) and Testing teams. All of the affected positions are being transferred to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS - India based offshoring service company), with those who are affected being mandated to knowledge transfer with TCS up to the January 31, 2017 termination date.

While there have been internal assurances that no other teams are going to be outsourced in the near future, I wouldn't recommend applying for any IT based roles at OTPP.

Full disclosure - I currently work for, and am affected by this outsourcing.

The gas gets them in the door. People are a lot less likely to stop if they don't have to. Since electric cars take a lot longer to charge, they don't mesh well with the convenience store model. More like restaurants.

I think convenience stores will go through quite a huge change in the next 20 years. Small mom and pop gas stations without much of a "store" to speak of will probably disappear entirely.

"Vibrant and alive" matches my experience with the SmartOS community. I have watched daily discussions with Joyent folks and the community, and it has been a delight.

Another factor feels critical for me as well. Troubleshooting has felt much faster on SmartOS and Triton due to the quality of logging and monitoring methods. Troubleshooting feels like O(1) because one often knows where to look and the tools are there to gather the data.

Triton and SmartOS are killer technologies, but the quality of interactions with the community are no less so.
That's what makes them true open source, IMHO.
Yep, I agree with that. The 2nd is the fallback for if/when the 1st and 4th (and the rest of the Bill of Rights) fail.

> How would you know that?

To be fair, I can't. I'm basing it on how I see your suggestions in my head. But the way I interpret the changes are how I've seen other sites do it, and it just sounds worse to me. I don't like extra styling, as it ends up cluttering the display. I personally find color-schemes annoying. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd have to see how OP implements your suggestions before actually deciding.

> Really, this is a Show HN. Let's at least try to give OP proper feedback without resorting to head-in-the-sand subjectivity like that. "I'd prefer to have it look like my site I created for geocities with Frontpage" is not what will help OP presenting this to a potential employer, or making it a viable source of income.

I think you really need to take a breath here. I am giving OP proper feedback, which just happens to disagree with yours. Neither style is "right". They are both subjective preferences. I'm saying that I like the style he chose, and disagree with the "improvements" that you are suggesting. I fail to see how I'm sticking my head in the sand.

I would argue that keeping it simple is helping him. It makes the site more usable, less cluttered, faster to load, less maintenance and more easily navigable.

I highly recommend the Coursera compilers class: you don't have to work though it in synch with a class; just sign up and work at your own pace. If you have to watch the same video two or three times, you can. None of this stuff actually turns out to be that complicated: it just takes a little while to get the lingo and concepts.

I implemented the entire parser, typechecker, and compiler in Go here: https://github.com/zellyn/gocool

I then went back and hand-wrote a recursive descent parser, just for fun: Cool is such a simple language that it really wasn't difficult.
It was in Available, I clicked Install with insufficient storage and it ate it. The store shows as though I can purchase it again and it's not in SOFTWARE VERSIONS.
OpenZFS is the only meaningful fork now. Unless Oracle open sources the changes to ZFS from 2010 when OpenSolaris was axed, those changes are lost. And even if open sourced, I expect those changes would be (selectively) merged into OpenZFS.
Hi tevlon,

You say "bioinformatics" and you already look incredible to me. That's it, for real !

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by life, and it's important (as you do with this post) to step back or aside, and ask for help.
All we can do is point to you how your life isn't as horrible as you see it, and is better than many.
The path to walk is yours.

20 jobs, and 4 rejections, for a french developer without a "engineer degree" this is a daily routine, no kidding.
I already know that saying it won't make you feel better about what rejection means for you.
Quite annoying, yes.. , quite frustrating.... yes!
But not that harsh to consider, after all. Why? Because most people will judge.. before anything, and trust me, you don't want to work for this kind of persons.
Some will talk to you, and choose not to keep you.
And with those guys it'll be fine to ask why they didn't want you.
And as you'll ask them, you'll realize that you were in competition with other guys, feeling as overwhelmed as you do, and among them was one guy who was a better fit than the others for the job.

Keep pushing !
Not being the best fit for one context doesn't mean being a waste.
But that kind of thoughts is for everyone to deal with, each one of us keeps pushing.
And you already pushed quite hard with THIS post.

In martial arts we say :
"Being afraid is good, driven by fear is bad.
Fight fear, but do not kill it... for it'll save your life more than once."

There is a little comic strip that will help summarize everything : http://www.viruscomix.com/page528.html

What is feels like...
What it is..
The correct word for your situation is "perspective".
And any advice asking you to seek for help is a good one.

As for perspective means "changing the point of view"

ICANN new gTLD program: permanent protection?
German here. My Problem with the German Car Industry is that they still see the car as a product, not as a platform. A car is a major investment and one that sticks to me for a while. I must rely on the car manufactures to continuously push updates and improve the lane-keeping assistant etc. (Maybe even the style of the UI?). I don't see this happening, at all. The lane keeping assistants get shipped and then forgotten, everybody is working on a new integration that is maybe coming out in years (crazy to think about if your only used to software-cycles). I don't want to be in the situation that i can't pair my smartphone with my car next year because mercedes doesn't bother updating it's software. Tesla does OTA updates and sees it's car as a platform, at least in my perspective. Software is all i know and they don't understand software yet. Softwares lives, unsupported software is dead.

I don't think that they are completely missing the electric car trend. They are being cautious, but everybody is at least getting it's feet wet. I hope they can then "just" scale their production. I don't think this is enough, but i hope they can turn around quickly enough when this gets serious.

But overall the future doesn't look too good.

Besides, i don't have the money right now to buy a car (also i don't want to).
