Ask HN: Rackspace Experiences
Over the past few months our quality of service with Rackspace Cloud Servers has plummeted. Servers will randomly die and while we receive a notification from Rackspace that they've detected and actioned this, the server remains dead. A reboot sometimes fixes it, sometimes the server is useless until Rackspace support slowly resolve the issue without commenting on the root cause.

At least once their support have tried to upsell me (loadbalancer, updated server) in order to try and resolve an issue.

Is this generally indicative of the Rackspace experience? We have Windows servers with them and few reliable hosts seem to offer the out-of-the-box Windows onboarding experience that RS have.

Clojure is crazy about immutability, so it makes live modifying any variable painful.

>Many C-suite people plainly knew and encouraged or stood silent and should go to jail.

I'm not actually sure about that. Why would they want to encourage this sort of behaviour when it never made the bank any money? Presumably, C-suite people are compensated based on the financial performance of the bank so they would be motivated to encourage subordinates to commit frauds that drove that performance.

The fake account frauds didn't. The whole reason they were able to get away with it for so long despite the number of accounts is that most of these were no-fee accounts. The people whose identity was stolen to open them never saw a bill or a statement related to the account which is why they never noticed. However that also means that WF didn't actually benefit from the fraud.

The retail level employees and their immediate supervisors were incentivised based on number of opened accounts, regardless of any revenue produced from them, which is why they did this in the first place.

I find it quite annoying that for a language that is meant to be "parasitic" there is no simple way to port it to any target. There are a few Clojures around that target e.g. C, but they are more "lookalikes" than the real thing. And ClJS is a separate codebase.

It would be cool if Clojure was one and the same thing and then had a backend to support generic platforms - this way you would have ClojureJVM, ClojureNET, ClojureGO, whatever, with different levels of support and speed, but at least you could share the code. For example, maybe the Go version could have only :aot and write Golang sources.

> Almost a whole decade ago we had pretty simple and straight forward build patterns for frontend.

a decode ago, we didn't really build web apps like today though. The browser landscape was different. The technology was different.. but the most important: the expectation was different. Man, 10 years ago we still had flash.

> [...] help with productivity for some people but it just seems insanely overly complex to me

It is. To be honest, if I'd start today, I'd be super lost too.. but it is a one-time cost/investment to start to gain that productivity.

I think the biggest upside of this whole thing is working at scale in terms of human. Good modularization allows you to achieve this.. in the old school day, that was either a big javascript bundle, or a bunch of them inserted in the pages as global.

My opinion is: if you think you don't need it, don't bother with it. I didn't understand webpack until I needed it. I didn't understand React until I needed it. I didn't understand docker and kubernetes until I needed it. Trying to force yourself to use thing when you don't see the usefulness is counter productive.
I agree that there is some protection for drops. However, the expected drop in an Amazon warehouse, or a UPS shipping center is not a 20 foot one. I'd doubt it's even a 10 foot one. I've seen the insides of both of those buildings (my local ones). Things get shaken, stacked, and dropped. A 20 meter drop is ridiculous, and the logistics of getting a drone 10 feet off the ground in a city is still and issue imo.

Can beef that up with some arguments? The creators of Go are not ignorant, they just decided consciously to create a language easy enough for recent graduates to be productive quickly.

From a science point of view, the only valid reason why clojure cannot compile to Go is that nobody cared to implement that.[1] Well, either that, or the people who considered doing that realized that compiling a programming language to a Chinese board game is equivalent to using an abacus and abandoned the idea .... ;)

On http://security.stackexchange.com/a/83059/6870 you can find a basic idea how you can create keys that you cannot have access to. There is of course some work to be done to fit it to the "camera scenario".
Phone number being a requirement for signup is bad. There are providers who mandate a valid phone, which they verify through SMS or call, even for paid accounts and services (not just for the payment processing step). Whenever possible, I avoid signing up for such services.

Terry Pratchett wrote in the forward to his books that he became an author because it was indoor work with no heavy lifting.

Similarly, I got into tech because I was a smart kid who was good with computers and so it's a well paying field that I find easy and enjoyable. I'm also someone who's always been very much "within the system" and therefore try to be aware of my privileges. Don't underestimate the value of "house with kids and work within the system". Plenty of refugees dying on beaches for the possibility of a chance of maybe having that. Even within the comfortable West, it looks a lot more attractive when you're closer to 40 than 30.

Mind you, the reason I didn't go into CS research when I might have had the opportunity was because it was very obviously so much of a dead end; at least with startups there's a chance of people using your product.

The performance of multilayer perceptrons and linear models is significant. The paper additionally allows the MLP and linear models to "cheat" by giving them heavily hand-engineered features incorporating extensive prior knowledge.

You don't have to have the leather and chrome, it's usually an option.
Well it depends, some people think of software developers as self taught people who make websites and phone applications. In that way, this is kind of true.

On the other hand, most of people working in the software industry hold a degree in computer science or software engineering from a university and do much more stuff than just coding webapps, at least in my country.
I have not looked into the details of the grammar, but proving that a grammar is unambiguous is typically done by proving that it is in, say, LL(1) or LR(1) (or some related family). This approach towards unambiguity has the additional advantage that it is easy to derive a parsing algporithm directly from the grammar that has nice theoretical properties (e.g. linear parsing time in the input length; where the hidden constant depends on the grammar).
I agree that it's irritating. However, I do feel the difference when I use flux or when I don't at 03:00 in the night (student life :D). It's mainly during very late hours that I'm noticing a difference and am willing to put up with the yellow screen, probably from 23:00 and onwards.
> For many of us, plastic does just fine.

Probably not that many of you actually. When given the choices between more "noble" materials versus plastic at close prices, the market always sides so heavily against plastic that the competing product dies unless it sells for a LOT cheaper than the one with noble materials.

For eg: iPhone 5c vs classic iPhone 5. You can't sell a plastic phone for the price of an iPhone. Plastic is synonymous with cheap and if it's not cheap then no one is buying it.

For the same reason Tesla cars make a lot of people cringe at the price tags asked.
But it needs an addendum that that might be a real customer and you should ideally have some way to purchase with additional verification, not just cutting them off and thinking no more of it because who cares about scammers.

> If Yahoo goes down, I won't have email; or at best I'll maybe keep a Zoho.

Zoho needs a phone number verification for signup. Unless you're confident that Zoho will never get hacked like Yahoo has been (multiple times), your phone number could be one more piece of information that's exposed yet again whenever it gets hacked (this also depends on how you use email and if you include your phone number in emails).
Me too, back in 2005 we were already doing all this. Also there is an easy hack that solves the overflow part.

I can't really say too much other than they looked to be more "here's a box", like linode, rather than aws who are far more in the full vertical integration business. Only used them to host a few sites years back, and never pushed anything hard enough to break it.

My general advice is for personal and non-critical/demanding stuff go for bang for buck, but for critical stuff (I.e. Ecommerce) you can't understate the value of a robust and effective support infrastructure.

But, for example, the documentation for GOPATH makes no suggestion it is even possible [1]:

> So, do you find things programmers are using in their daily work good?

i find programmers using full spectrum from horrible to amazing. the reasons some people stay on lower end of that spectrum range from psychological to business constraints. i think more interesting question is why is it that while considering yourself being somewhere in the upper end of the spectrum you decide to shit on lisp, which arguably is the starting point of everything you deem good.

That's just a bug. Truncation invalidates the 'stored properly' part of the statement.
This is a tough question to answer because the answer is likely to be larger and far more expensive machines. We use SMT lines that are over 50 feet long with pick and place at one end and AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) and x-ray inspection at the other end.

That said, back when I was still bootstrapping my business in the garage I reflowed SMT boards with everything from toaster ovens to hot plates. I have to say that my favorite budget reflow tool back then was a hot plate with a really thick top. There are some that have a metal cover box that will make a little oven-like environment. None of these are 100% reliable, of course, and a lot depends on the nature of the board, size, type and mass of components, etc. What you do get is precise temperature set points.

I'll see if I can ask our manufacturing engineers tomorrow and see if there is such a thing as a cheap lab-class reflow oven that does a decent job. It isn't going to be $200, I can tell you that much.

Good call ! I think the value of lightsail is more of what you get along with it (S3, other products and a path to scale up) than the vps itself (which can be had by less than both aws and DO are charging on alternative providers). DO is hard to beat on iops but it has been years they are asked to release a loadbalancer or basic stuff you can horizontally scale your apps. Linode has that but their VMs seems to "age" faster than DO (in terms of losing performance after some time due to neighbours).
No, it's no longer necessary to resort to scraping the webmail pages. You can easily setup a client like Mozilla Thunderbird for IMAP with Yahoo and get all your mails and folders on to it for free.
