Yes. Here's Space-X's launch manifest.[1] They used to put dates on future launches, but that got to be too embarrassing. Then they just listed them in order of projected launch. Now they're alphabetical.

About half of those could be launched now if Space-X was ready. Some, like ISS resupply missions, are supposed to happen periodically. Most of the satellite launches are waiting on Space-X, not the payload. Space-X already lost Inmarsat, which will use ArianeSpace instead.

As an American who lived in Scandinavia for a few years and spent a fair amount of time in Sweden, I will say that Jantelagen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

takes some getting used to and has an affect on the business environment. At this point, I do believe that someone can be just as effective in business in Scandinavia as other places like the U.S., but my first two years were difficult until I understood how to navigate these social norms. Mostly, this is to say that, even beyond immigration and paperwork, I don't think it's exactly simple for someone outside to move to Sweden to take advantage of these opportunities. I think opportunity is there, but it takes some adapting to things like Jante's Law.

From a load perspective, if the request pattern is even, 225 million req/month are only about 85 req/s (assuming ~730hrs/mo). Any $5/mo VPS running even a very heavy and suboptimal web framework can handle that.

It's likely more spikey than that (i.e., peak/off-peak times), but certain server-to-server loads have a very consistent load pattern. (For example, at Userify[1] - SSH key management -- servers check for updates every 90 seconds or so or 10 seconds for premium plans or self hosted, so the load pattern is literally a flat line.. extremely predictable. We'll probably switch over clients that can handle it to websockets and maybe hashed etags and cut that load pattern into oblivion, but for now it works and is simple/auditable code/extremely reliable, which is a very important factor in our case.)

To GP's point, spiraling costs are definitely a factor with most of Amazon's services such as DynamoDB and especially Lambda... they are sometimes an effective use of devtime, especially in the beginning of a project (and when dealing with a mature platform like DynamoDB and maybe not so much Lambda), but you have to carefully consider the cost factor as you scale. For example, Lambda is often literally several orders of magnitude[2] more expensive than an equivalent ELB. (i.e., it can be more than 100x more expensive.. for small scale or maintenance tasks, that may not matter.. for a heavy/core service, it definitely matters!) So, as they taught us in AWS SA, design for cost: use the more advanced services when it makes sense, but optimize across all axes, not just devtime.

TL;DR: most cheap cloud instances can do 85req/s.

I'm posting this from chropera as we speak, and I used presto for a decade before that.

While your points are spot on, there's one thing about Presto - performance, or more specifically resource usage. Modern layouting engines are simply not careful, because apparently all their devs have 32GB RAM and 8 cores, so users have to as well.

The problem is the argument "people generally don't have 50 tabs open, so why bother". Well, it bothers people who could comfortably do so in presto, it's not just nostalgia goggles.

As for vivaldi, I really tried to like it, putting up with its numerous subtle bugs.

One of the useful things that I learned as I began to use SQL is to learn how to use and analyze query plans.

This will go a long way to building the right indexes and SQL tuning in general.

I would suggest learning how to generate the query plans for your SQL engine of choice.

BBC Documentary – HyperNormalisation - By Adam Curtis - Must Watch!
«Of the Grimm Brothers, the same responsible for Grimm's Fairy Tales. Jacob was a philologist in addition to a mythologist.»

It's fun because the myth collection was almost a side effect of the linguistics work: it shouldn't be a surprise that when the Brothers Grimm walked into a small village and asked for the oldest documents the village could find they got a lot of interesting myths and fairy tales in return. There's a bit of dramatic irony that Grimm's Fairy Tales has had such a homogenizing force on the myths since its publication when a lot of the reason for collecting them in the first place for the Grimms was seeking all the little nuances and differences and distinctions between them (including and especially linguistically).
> JavaScript is NOT the first language to provide cross-platform GUI.

Of course it's not.

> There is no reason to use JavaScript just so you can get a "cross platform GUI".

The main reason (imho) is that "JavaScript" (as you call it, but you should say "the web platform") is more future proof than "old toolkits".

Qt would be the best candidate for a "cross platform GUI", but you are relying on the [Qt company/nokia/whatever] for its continuation.

When you choose html/js you choose a standard used by virtually every single person with a computer nowadays. There is far less chance that html/js will be killed someday, like Microsoft killed WPF or like IBM made SWT an abandonware, because nobody is in that position and this whole World Wide Web thing rely on it.
I think you need to prove that a (custom) UI is easier to build with HTML/CSS compared to QML. Or even plain old QWidget.

It can't be that web developers have been bitterly complaining about how poor HTML and CSS are at building UIs for years and years and suddenly it's become easy and enjoyable.

I don't think that JavaScript did that. I think web development in general did that, and continues to do that. JavaScript is only contributing insofar as JavaScript-based backends are inexplicably now becoming more employable than some much better alternatives (which not too long ago I would've also been deriding, but they look beautiful compared to node).

Until recently, and I know the "front-end devs" are going to have my head for this, but until recently, there was hardly any serious JavaScript coding going on even on the client-side. That means it wasn't something that a new developer would really stumble across and just start using to build full-fledged programs.

JavaScript's main use was extending web widgets to do things slightly more conveniently. All the heavy lifting would be behind the scenes and JavaScript would watch you type so it could autotab for you. So I don't think the explanation that there was a vast knowledgebase eager to break into the backend is plausible.

JavaScript was so disliked from horrifyingly frustrating exposure throughout the IE6 days that no one would go near the thing unless they were wrapped in the jQuery condom. John Resig was a hero of legendary bravery for biting the bullet and making JavaScript semi-usable.

Someone had to write a book called "JavaScript: The Good Parts" that openly acknowledged JavaScript's inherent inferiority but tried to cheer us up by saying "Hey, I know we're stuck with this because browser vendors will never be able to agree on something else, but there are some hidden cool things about it! Don't cry!"

Somehow in the last 5 years or so, JavaScript has gone from something that required a prophylactic device before anyone would approach it to something that real companies are writing production _DESKTOP_ applications in. What the heck happened?

(I think The Good Parts is probably the real turning point here, where it became OK to treat JavaScript as a non-joke, and that V8 accelerated it. But people took Crockford's feel-good apologia and ran way past the finish line with it.)
> start acting like a scientist.

I started late (38, 41 this year) and I couldn't imagine jumping from Ruby to Rust to whatever new hotness arrives when it's clear that there are handful of technologies that go deep (enough) and that are being used to solve problems that require someone to be more than a coder or even a dev.

I'm in the connected-car space and the only question I'm asking myself right now is: will my current skill set (mostly iOS in Swift/Obj-C/C) allow me to build for the future of augemented reality in vehicles or will going down the path of C++ -only- allow me to grow as a "software scientist" (perhaps a third way...)? Honestly I don't know, but I do know that I won't/can't find out if I jump into every HN rabbit holes that opens.
If you're going to let your clients decide when you fire someone you're having some enormous issues. Take the person off their account, sure, but how in hell does a client make your HR decisions?

Case 1: It's fine to fire individuals for ongoing performance issues. (though you must make clear to those who remain that the number and types issues the individual already had, and the steps that had been taken to help the individual rectify their performance issue.)

Case 2: no competent manager would fire an employee who made a mistake to satisfy clients. They may move the employee to a role away from that client, but it would be insanity to allow the most unreasonable clients to dictate who gets fired. Any manager who does what you suggest should expect to have lost all credibility in the eyes of their team.

Case 3a: A leak to the press is a purposeful action. Firing for cause is perfectly reasonable. Making a mistake is not a purposeful action.

Case 3b: If you want to convey that a particular type of mistake is serious, don't do so by firing people. Do so with investments in education, process, and other tools that reduce the risk of the mistake occurring, and the harm when the mistake occurs. Firing somebody will backfire badly, as many of your best employees will self-select away from your most important projects, and away from your company, as they won't want to be in a situation where years of excellent performance can be erased with a single error.

I guess my problem is with your use of terms like "the Swedish mindset", or "we [Swedes] believe". You are generalizing a lot.

Folkhemmet has German roots (Volksgemeinschaft) and can be traced back to the ideas of Bismarck[1]. It was a social reform. One can compare it to FDRs "New Deal". It is in this context it makes sense. It does not make sense to explain what "we [Swedes] believe" or "the Swedish mindset". You're basically equating social democratic policy from 1930-1970(ish) with being Swedish. There are a lot of people living in Sweden who do not subscribe to these ideas (myself included).

I was CTO of a company that had a two-week outage due to technical debt. I didn't sleep much for any of it. We fixed it, and we'd lost about 30% of our subscriber base in that period. The company took on new funding to survive, invested that in a new set of products, and shuttered the old stuff just to stay afloat.

I am currently working in a business where there is a nearly 8-year old Rails app (600+ models, 250+ controllers, 400+ libraries, LOC around 60k), that sits at the heart of everything we do.

The company is struggling to grow and believes the cause is that engineering is slow. We have asked to refactor this code base multiple times, and point to the technical debt as the cause features that should take a day to implement taking between 3-4 weeks, typically.

It is only recently that the penny has finally dropped and they've realised if they don't invest in replacing this thing (there is too much technical debt to fix, we're calling bankruptcy and moving to a brand new architecture piecemeal), the business is likely to fail within 1-2 years.

That means my current employer is likely to go bust because of technical debt within 2 years max unless we become really good at fixing this.

We are optimistic.

We have to be, right?

This is why I disagree with the author's solution and find the Google employee's response fairly compelling:

> The data: URL part here is not that important as you could have a phishing on any http[s] page just as well.”

Calling out the use of data URIs doesn't solve the issue at all. I could just as easily register abc.xyz, pick up an SSL certificate, and send users to `https://abc.xyz//accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=ma... or `https://abc.xyz/https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?ser...

They get a green lock, and that certainly doesn't seem to require the user to overlook any more than the URI in question: `data:text/html,https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail`

Anyone who treats the URI as an opaque string and simply scans for keywords (which is someone falling for the data: trick) is going to be vulnerable to a large variety of attacks, almost none of which the proposed solution solves.
As a general rule in democratic societies, if your cause has so little public support you have to actually pay people in online communities to get them to defend it, you tend to lose to the other side whose people are prepared to state their reason, argue or just troll for free (whether they've been encouraged to do it by a slick political campaign or aggressive media personality or not)

How can JS be more future-proof than old UI toolkits when JS libraries and frameworks are constantly changing? Sure, nobody will kill HTML and JS, but that's not the point. Nobody knows how UIs will be built with web technologies in two years!

Edit: based on your reply below, it looks like I have to spell it out. GUIs are built with UI frameworks, not just with programming languages and markup languages. JS frameworks are so short-lived that one can't be sure if their code will still work in one year.

That is the opposite of future-proof.

When you're Intel, you make the IC's and you can put whatever you want in there. If they were in bed with TLA's, I'd expect the pilfered keys would be stored in a sliver of NVM gates deep inside the die (in which chip, I can't say, perhaps in the CPU itself) (and probably encrypted with their own secret key). That's why I suggest that it would be easy to overwrite them just by constantly running aes with fresh random keys.
I'll defer to the wealth of online information on this topic.

That said even my pro EU friends don't make the claim that the EU is democratic. Usually pointing out that the U.K. and the US are not that democratic either. The U.K. being a monarch with a hereditary House of Lords and the US being a federation (see previous election).

I also hold the view that democracy does not scale well beyond city states and that a federation is preferable so long as the federation has constitutionally limited powers. This way demicracy still dominates the affairs of the citizenry. Unfortunately federations have a habit of extending their powers which is where the political system becomes less democratic. I would argue that the EU has increased their powers over time and the system has become less democratic. I would argue the same rule applies to the US.
