I had to build something back in February (hadn't done any real webdev in >10 years), and picked up BS4 in a half hour and started using it in production. No issues doing so; the "alpha" moniker seems to be the developers erring on the side of caution and reserving themselves the right to make user-visible changes.

Yes, they should, as should silent movies, black and white movies, old game consoles with exotic output formats like vector graphics, and the like.

It is a worthy endeavor to create and maintain video playback software that lets people consume beloved content that was made to the technology of its day, including home videos, sports games, TV shows with special effects edited in 60i, and video games.
Less ideally, a Moon base could be an uneconomic way of doing all of these things, eating all of NASA's human spaceflight budget. So after getting ourselves stuck with the cost of the Shuttle and the cost of ISS, now we'll get ourselves stuck in the cost of a Moon base that's less reliable and more expensive than reusable launchers.

The reusable launch thing will be proven out in 5-10 years, long before we could set up production on the moon.
I've done this a few times - intercepting traffic to applications running within docker, not intercepting docker's internal communications.

I usually use a container specifically for MITMProxy rather than install it alongside whatever I'm troubleshooting.

It was pretty straightforward. I don't recall having to do anything tricky to make it work.

This is a great plan. I'm always astounded at the cost of individual components when you are looking for something specific, and the general lack of availability of things at places like Fry's or Radio Shack which were always well stocked with cheap options when I was young.

Heh. I just finished writing up a design doc to address problems I had with this, and I referenced "Falsehoods programmers believe about time". Then I opened Hacker News and saw this article. So this is very timely for me.

Thank you Sealord, You post means alot,

I would love to stick to mobile apps but majority of companies are looking for "Senior iOS developer" and the funny thing is they list frameworks that literally just surfaced in the tech community, yet these HR reps are asking for seniority and expert levels, on top of that you have things like Superiority in problem solving, x amount of years in agile dev/dev ops principles..etc

This is the overwhelming area, even if I want to do mobile development they ask for things that are senior level!

Your suggestion about establishing a relationship with space owners, and approaching startups is a good idea, I haven't thought about that to be honest.
Aren't they just throwing a lot of different things at the wall, to see what (which ones) stick? While, yes, I do have a problem with Uber's attitude, and also I'm generally more charmed by doing one thing and doing it right, I can totally see how this as a general approach might make sense (to them). I worked for XPO, then Con-way, and they have/had a business unit (Menlo) doing pretty much this: matching up carriers and shippers, using unused space, or throwing business at vehicles that would otherwise be skipping a turn. From first-hand experience, I can say that that general business could certainly use a shake-up, and that Uber stands to benefit from doing so. (Still, not liking them...)
Thanks Dan, I am currently trying my final attempt and last hope that maybe if I show them a portfolio or link them to my github account, they are willing to hire.

I do not live in the US. So would love some help understanding what could possibly happen here:

-Do people own trucks or is it corporations/shipping-companies.

- What happens to all the various forms of taxes (are there any?) which come into picture during long distance transporation

- Is there a concept of toll tax on the roads. Who would be providing those?

- How do you ensure legality of contents and prevent illegal transportation of goods here?

- The USP of Uber is the being able to get the required service in a couple of minutes.Will this be applicable here?

- Uber has always been in grey areas when it comes to personal vehicles being used commercially to drive single passengers. Transporting goods would cause the same issues on a larger scale right?

This is the sort of thing people build academic careers on.

I'm extremely skeptical that a blog post will live up to this claim; I'd expect anything that even approaches to unify the techniques to be on the order of a Ph.D thesis or an extensive postgraduate research report.

I've got friends who're HR professionals, and I'll say it anyway - they're idiots. I'm yet to see an HR person who genuinely understands how dev ecosystems change, and what they should really look out for as opposed to what their books in business school said.

On an ideal note, try not to go for companies that have HR doing recruitments. It's bound not to work in your favor. Your best bet is to interact directly with product owners because they know what they're looking for, and it's easier to have a direct conversation with them about the best tool/framework for the job. And a lot of startups are liberal - they have "preferred" tools/frameworks, but they're happy with someone coming in with a different option.

Please do try checking out coworking spaces. If there's startup events in your area, try them out too. A lot happens when there's a casual chat over a coffee/beer. I should know, I met my cofounders over a joint.

I don't think Uber will try to solve those problems right away. What Uber is good at is routing and handling payments, both of which are kind of annoying as a driver and dispatcher. It will be a boon to businesses who do a lot of ad-hoc local shipping rather than scheduled or specialized deliveries.
You use physical manuals?
Driving on highways is far easier than driving in cities because it's a more controlled environment. There aren't supposed to be pedestrians, bikers, traffic lights, and it's generally a more constrained problem. Logistically, you can just have truckers drive in cities, get out at certain waypoints, and then have truckers take over again at waypoints (mostly located just outside cities).

I'm not saying it's an easy problem, but it's a much easier problem. You also don't have to be as concerned with public perception, as you aren't asking a consumer to get inside of it.

Yeah, people are saying, "No, learn CSS!" but isn't CSS exceedingly simple?

Firefox used to do the infrequent large change thing, then moved to frequent small breakage.

Specific to add-ons: every release has broken some and the XUL depreciation is to some extent to deal with that problem better.

Note that users hate both options proposed in the article passionately, it just seems that break early break often results in fewer users voting with their feet.
True this. But

* Learning CSS is not the first priority of a bootstrapped business. The cost associated with a 100kb of css is much lesser compared to creating a layout and all other styles.

* Learning CSS to create a whole layout from scratch can be a daunting task for the uninitiated.

* The best approach would be to start the project with Bootstrap, create a winning product, and iterate to find the best layout you need. Then in a subsequent release, you can redo the same using css. CSS Flex is very easy once you get the hang of it and you do not need any other css layout framework.

How Enterprise Mobility Is Changing the Business Landscape
They've dropped support for 15-16 year old file formats with a workaround in place....

The old versions of Word is Word 2 for Windows, and Word 4 for Mac, and Excel 4....

The work around isn't complicated it's long because they gave you 3 methods of how to get the functionality back (the simplest way is to download 1 to 3 self installing hotfixes depending on what files you still need to access, I'm pretty sure they just didn't want to pay royalties anymore for supporting some of the non-MSFT formats nor did they really want to support nearly 20 year old binary formats) and that document has been revised as late as 2011, MSFT dropped support for Office 2003 in 2014, 11 years after release.

Yes MSFT does break backward compatibility once in awhile, but it's usually quite warranted, they offer supported workarounds or exemptions and they tend to break it once in 1-2 decades rather than once every 2 years.

Sorry but giving an example of MSFT dropping support for Word 2 or Excel 4 file formats that were designed probably in the late 80's in 2008 isn't exactly a good example of a company breaking backwards compatibility.

If your organization circa 2008 was still dependant on 2 decades old formats don't blame the vendor, you should have migrated that data, It's like complaining that verbatim stopped making floppy disks, oh noes what would you do?!

It's doubtfully about need. Why did they use it? Probably because they have a solid workflow already based on a React tool chain - so why not? In that case you could similarly ask, why go out of their way to create a static page if they use React for everything else and it's how their programmers are used to thinking? You can use whatever you want as long as it gets the job done. It's about comfort zones and preference.

Well, I meant how do we actually make git better? It has become and absolute standard and is not going away anytime soon. Everyone knows it, and there's a huge ecosystem around it (last but not least Github). I actually think there's a lot of benefit to that kind of standardization. Personally, I actually like git, but that doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be improved. I don't see switching to some relatively obscure alternative (or even to mercurial) as a satisfying solution. Of course, anybody who wants to do it should feel free, but that limits your possibilities for collaboration with the community at large.
> Is WWVB the norm for consumer clocks that synchronize to an outside source? If I see a clock with that feature, should I assume it uses WWVB? Is it one of several options?

Yes. WWVB is the NIST Atomic clock radio station. In fact, any cheap clock that auto-synchronizes is going to be WWVB. Its the cheapest option for mass electronics that I'm aware of.

WWVB however has one major fault: and its the speed of light. The speed of light can make the signal off by a few dozen miliseconds as it travels across the country. So extreme accuracy is not really possible. But for anything that can take a few miliseconds of delay (ie: most consumer clocks), this isn't a problem.

> Why not use GPS? Because of poor signal indoors?

GPS is far more expensive. A WWVB receiver is only $5 for an antenna, $3 for amplifying components, and $1 for a very low-end microcontroller. The 60-bits to determine a timestamp are sent at 1Hz (yes, one-bit per second). And indeed, the 1Hz signal is sent exactly on the second, on every second. As the signal is so low-baud, it is trivial to find a microcontroller that is fast enough to process it.

As a very very low frequency, the WWVB signal penetrates through most walls. It also reflects off the ionosphere, giving a very long-distance range... far longer than the horizon.

The WWVB signal is also the atomic time standard of the USA. The radio station is owned by NIST and the signal is basically the current American definition of time.

> How far does this signal from Colorado propagate?

At night, when there's the least amount of interference from the sun, the signal propagates all the way to the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, covering the entirety of the continental USA, and a good chunk of Canada as well.

As a non-american I still think that climate change is the wrong problem for the US to focus on, and space exploration and colonization goals are better targets.

The US has a huge concentration of wealth and brainpower. Neither of those are what's need to solve climate change. You'd need an army of Mahatma Gandhis and the new breed of "social entrepreneurs", not of Einsteins and Oppenheimers.

And you know, that concentration of wealth and brainpower is actually one of the problems that would have to be solved to solve climate change: India and China and soon Africa and all the other poorer countries will keep not giving a fuck about climate change and polution if it helps them pull up their living standards. Those CO2 and methane taxes: they'd rather fight a nuclear/chem/bio war than pay them! Only thing that would incite a more global cooperation towards reducing climate change would be a massive global redistribution of wealth.

And that would mean the end of US as an economic superpower among many other things.

So imho, US should shoot for the stars while you still can and raise the standard of the international space race at all cost! ...cause after the next either world war or "global redistribution of wealth" there might not be enough concentration of brainpower and wealth left to do these things, and the human race needs some kind of plan B!

I was using Slackware around the time that distros were switching from xfree86 to x.org. Not knowing any better, I was trying to run it as a bleeding edge system. I think I took a week or two manually upgrading each library one at a time to make the jump to the new X server.
