If you're interested in distributed system tracing there's a lot going on.

As a starting point, I would recommend reading Google's paper on their project "Dapper." [1] It's essentially the core of most distributed tracing systems. At least those I've encountered.

There's a lot of tooling out there that take their cues from Dapper. I've recently been looking into integrating OpenZipkin[2] with our systems. I see at as a more viable alternative (no tie in!) to Yet Another Propriety Thing in AWS (YAPTA). There's other as well, like AppDash.

Recently there has been a push towards an open-standard for the collection side called OpenTracing[3]. I came across it when investigating LightStep[4]. Ideally that means no vendor lock-in, which of course has lots of knock-on effects.

If you know of any, I'd love to be pointed in the direction of _different_ and not just divergent techniques.

Just found a nutritional chart that says a 41g piece of Nestlé milk chocolate (probably worst case scenario) contains 27g of carbs.

Now, a volume of liquids and solids when mixed together do not necessarily add up to the same volume of the originals. For instance mixing a fluid ounce of alcohol and water won't result in 2 ounces of combined fluid.

So while they're talking about taking ~13g of sugar out of each serving (32% of the weight), that does not mean they need exactly 32% filler to make up the difference. Could be a lot less than that.
Cave Cohnson puts it nicely, but to add some more detail, I think a lot of that research was motivated by rocket science (the actual one).

Suppose you want to increase the vertical speed of your rocket. If you just put in bigger engines and a larger fuel tank, you wouldn't have won anything: Sure the engines will provide more force, but you also increased the mass that the force has to move.

What you actually want is a more efficient fuel that gives you more power for the (approximately) same mass - you quite literally want more bang for your buck.

Because the required forces and mass constraints are so extreme, the number of possible fuels that are efficient enough for your purposes are quite limited - they are commonly known as "explosives".

As rockets with more cargo space are needed, so grows the need for even more efficient fuels - driving the development of compounds that are even more hellishly explosive than their predecessors.
Interesting bit about the law, there... the thing is, they can essentially use universities as a proxy while maintaining plausible deniability, right?

I don't think it even needs to be quite that insidious, it can have that effect even if the employers aren't consciously aware that this is what they're doing.
What would we do with multiple job offerings? It gets pretty unreadable quickly if we have more than one or two jobs on offer, if we follow that spec.
What if we added a regex test against the post body?
From my perspective, if this rumor is true, it's a relief. Solaris died the moment that they made the source proprietary -- a decision so incredibly stupid that it still makes my head hurt six years later.

Fortunately, Solaris was open long enough that we in the open source world were able to fork it with illumos[1]. And because illumos became the home for many of us that brought Solaris its most famous innovations (e.g., ZFS, DTrace and zones), it should come as no surprise that we've continued to innovate over the last six years. (Speaking only for Joyent, we added revolutionary debugging support for node.js[2], ported KVM to it[3], completed and productized Linux-branded zones[4], added software-defined networking[5] and developed first-class Docker integration[6] -- among many, many other innovations.)

So illumos (and derivatives like SmartOS, OmniOS and DelphixOS) is vibrant and alive -- but one of our biggest challenges has been its association with the name "Solaris": I don't think of our system as Solaris any more than I think of it as "SVR4" or "SunOS" or "7th Edition" or any of its other names -- and the very presence of Solaris has served to confuse. And indeed, it is my good fortune to be working with a new generation of engineers on the operating system -- engineers for whom the term "Solaris" is entirely distant and its presence as an actual (if proprietary) system befuddling.

So if the rumor is true (and I suspect that it is), it will allow everyone to know what we have known for six years: Solaris is dead, but its innovative spirit thrives in illumos. That said, I do hope that Oracle does the right thing and (re)opens Solaris -- allowing the East Berliners of proprietary Solaris to finally rejoin us their brethren in the free west of illumos!

ActiveSphere | Bangalore | ONSITE | Full Time | Full Stack

We are a consulting company. But thats not the end of it. One of us has written Emacs mode (https://github.com/ananthakumaran/tide) which is now linked directly from official TypeScript website. Another one of us, has written tunnelling solution, and used it to create a remote debugging (debug another browser session over the internet), as POC. We have done high pace React re-writes for clients. Picked up tech, when needed (React, Angular 2, Go, Erlang, Laravel/PHP, GStreamer). Switched to Erlang for messaging system. Helped clients with cleaning up a over-engineered micro-service mess. We have written a little more here: http://www.activesphere.com/careers.html

We are quite lazy at updating our own site, but some of our hacks can be seen at: http://www.activesphere.com/hacks.html

Thanks for your work!

Gonna jump on this meta thread to say I just finished upvoting every submission with a salary range, and encourage everyone to do the same.

SCO was very much alive (though perhaps suffering a severe case of senility) when it started going after Linux.
Just to add my 2c.

About a year ago, someone submitted us to PH after I had submitted our site to Show HN. We ended up as the second highest product of the day. I didn't even know we'd been submitted until my co-founder mentioned it (him thinking I had actually been the one behind it). Ultimately we got around 3k to 4k visitors from PH over a space of 3 or 4 days.

So while there may be examples of it being fixed that doesn't mean there isn't significant numbers of startups - with no inside connections - getting a bit limelight from it.

Announcing OSS-Fuzz: Continuous fuzzing for open source software
This is a absolutely dishonest headline.

Andrew Torba and his team created Gab as a response to Twitter when Jack and his team started harassing and outright censoring people who didn't agree with far left ideology (and no, not just those who identify themselves as "right"). The most important design principle of Gab is "freedom of speech", and it is completely neutral of who are making use of this principle; Andrew has stated several times that EVERYBODY IS WELCOME no matter where you are in the political spectrum.

Yes, a large part of the population on Gab can be described politically as either "alt right" or "conservative" because these people are outright scared that their online voices will be shut simply because of disagreement. But that doesn't mean that the Gab population is 100% right wing, it also consists out of classical liberals and moderates who are sick and tired of the behavior and bullshit narrative of the far left, and do not agree with the way Twitter is handling freedom of expression, which by the way is a universal human right, on its platform.

Most people know us for our social sharing widget which powers sharing for over 3MM sites and apps across the web - and generates a billion social events per day ( > 1.5TB of data). But what makes ShareThis a fun and challenging place to work is how we use that data to power a suite of real-time data and media products for our partners and advertisers.
If you want to know more or apply to any position, email me directly at rana@sharethis.com with Hacker News in the subject name.
I'm trying to find if they offer or plan to offer these features:

1. Caching. CircleCI and Travis cache intermediate build artifacts (e.g., virtualenv in python) to reduce build time.

2. Github pull request integration (red cross on pull requests if the build fails).

3. Chat integration. Sending a message to slack or hipchat when the build fails.

4. SSH into build container. Very handy for rare but difficult to locally reproduce build bugs.

Interesting offer though. We found that we would pay less than 5$ a month for our build needs and they would run concurrently.

Decades ago my can't-say-no-mother had this Amway guy at the house. He sold us matches that could strike even under water.

It was very valuable to know about Amway at such an early age.

Years later the salesman was out of Amway. He apologized to our family. He said he would have sold Amway to president Nixon.
He might know what AV technology is like today on a theoretical basis but he seems utterly clueless on a granular technical level.

His comment that AV is necessary today seems completely out of touch. There's two things more important than anything else these days: Keeping patched as you mention, but also never, ever giving clueless users administrator access on the machine.

I'm not sure any AV package will protect a sufficiently stupid user from a targeted spear-phishing attack, and that's the real threat to worry about.
Modern JS does allow you to send large buffers from one worker to another with just a pointer copy (because it stops being accessible from the sender).
Yup, it was an average of 20 years older to wealthy VCs who look like my dad. I don't get the appeal, feels like jumping right to the end of life. They did get good jobs out of it so there is that.

I'm saddened that for an "end-to-end encrypted" and "privacy" email service, that Protonmail is not anonymous. I tried to sign up with Tor and it asked me to validate my mobile number. Also if you read the Transparency Report, Protonmail does data retention for the government on certain accounts.
It's interesting that the article implies that the German manufactures are so intent on keeping the 'value add' from the internal combustion motors. For the electric vehicles, value add is shifting, and if you look at Elon Musks strategies with Tesla, he's made a bet that it's shifting a significant portion to the power generation, and batteries.
Lol nope.

Basically. Take the pure cocoa mass and just press it into bars.
A lot of these just seem to be arbitrary preferences. The author doesn't like capitalization in variable names and thinks twoWord is "objectively wrong" preferring that languages accept two-word. Personally, I would prefer twoWord even in languages that accept two-word -- it is just too tempting to think it is subtracting "word" from "two" whether or not the language actually interprets it like that. There is no danger of ambiguity with twoWord.

True. But the HN comments have char limits as well. The post can't be too long and eventually you will have to split it anyway.

The other option is just to add something that some people here do already "Multiple positions" / "Many positions".
Great insight into Uber Eats. Do you have suggestions for reports or other public analyses of this category or adjacent categories like on-demand delivery (e.g., Google Shopping Express, Instacart, Amazon Fresh)?
Incredible. My book talks about writing tests to help build reliable systems but having a dynamic run time tool like this is an astounding addition to a developer's toolset.
> owning a car is a visible blackhole of money

All shared vehicles do is distribute that same cost though. The owners of the shared fleets aren't going to no recoup those costs. If anything it simply makes the lost money less visible, but still equally present. (Feel free to argue that the actual costs are less with more sharing)
Second the "ok let's get through this login page" instinct haha. I'd be curious to see how many people were trying basic sql injections thinking they were playing the game already.
Well Materials doesn't seems that different from what we currently use for electronics, so I don't think has big impact in price.
As far as I'm concerned most large-scale commercial chocolates like KitKat could do with 40% less sugar, period. Making it just as sweet with less sugar still makes it just as sweet.
You can have any opinion you want if your response to challenging thought is to just say "well I don't care what the facts are, damn it"

Edit: I have neither the skills nor desire to be successful in MLM, but to imply that all MLM is a pyramid scheme is idiotic. I don't see nearly the vitriol for Pampered Chef that I do for Amway, maybe because Pampered Chef isn't a $9.5 billion global enterprise? Because the majority of people have either done Amway, know someone who used to, or have been asked to, and they resent hearing about it over and over? I talked to probably ~300 people in the short time I was involved in it and I only remember 2 who had never heard of Amway before.
