Jesus Christ. So, now you are putting a ridiculously great many words in my mouth, alleging I've made claims I did not, apparently for the sake of providing yourself a reason to talk ... a lot. You seem to just want to hear yourself speak throughout your comments here. I didn't ask anything of you at all, yet you somehow imagine I did. You make sweeping statements of what everyone agrees on—yet everyone most certainly does not agree on these things.

We have different opinions on some things related to expectation of behaviors in certain conditions.

Because your enthusiasm is your most valuable asset.

Wow, no, that's not even remotely true. My years of experience and track record of delivering completed products is my most valuable asset.

Enthusiasm doesn't get the job done. Enthusiasm and passion are fleeting.

Honestly, I cannot express how horrified I am by your reply.

I've spent a fair amount of time evaluating different solutions through my startup[0] and have found Kubernetes, by far, to come with the least pain. It's not hard to get started with, but also works well as you grow and mature. It makes most of the decisions right from the start and kubectl gives you most of the functionality you need to manage deployments easily.

Also, while I have a vested interest in saying this, you don't always want to solve this yourself. Look at hosted solutions like GCP and CircleCI to make things even more painless.

I recently(past 6 months) joined a new startup as the operations person, and we standardized on kubernetes for deployment. In the past I've worked with puppet/chef/ansible/heroku/aws/appengine/vmware you name it, and Kubernetes is the nicest and most flexible platform to build on top.

There's a learning curve, and new features are being added, but at this point I would not hesitate to recommend Kubernetes to just about anyone.

CI: We standardize on CircleCI and it gets the job done, but has some serious shortcomings. I've also come close to building my own on top of the k8s cluster and it's not the correct time investment for me right now, but I'd consider building my own in the future. I've yet to find a CI framework I really like.
The NHS is not a single entity, it is a huge, loose collection of different bodies in a very complex arrangement. The bodies that Google is involved with are likely entirely separate from the ones providing the affected IT service.
Curious Media | Boise, ID | Full Stack Software Engineer | Full-time, onsite

Curious Media is a interactive agency devoted to creating ridiculously fun experiences for children and adults alike. We create everything from kids movie websites to games, apps and connected toys. Our regular clients include Disney, Hasbro, Warner Bros., PBS Kids, Scholastic, Dreamworks and a host of other kid focused companies. http://www.curiousmedia.com

We’ve been around since 2004 and have a team of 35. We are extremely stable and have many employees who have been with the company for 6-12 years now. We are very mindful and focused on being a family friendly workplace, both in the type of jobs we take and our expectations of employees time. We rarely work more than 40 hours a week and when we do, we give PTO at a 1:1 ratio (any hours over 45 in a week).

We are more specifically located in Nampa, about 14 miles west of Boise. Many employees commute from Boise/Meridian and its rarely more than a 25 minute commute as all the traffic is going towards Boise (and the opposite on the way home). This area is amazingly affordable and provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities. The closest respectable ski mountain is only about 30 minutes from downtown Boise and there are some world class resorts within 2-3 hours (Sun Valley, Tamarack, Brundage). If you are from one of the larger cities and looking for a change of pace, you should check Boise out!

What is the situation with available Adsense ads? Do I still have to except lower inventories of HTTPS enabled ads and thereby less income if I switch to HTTPS? I understand that this depends on the target audience. Did anybody experienced a drop at the beginning and later recovering?
How would you have framed the questions? The seem reasonable to me.
In this case, this behavior choice affects me personally.

Back when I played in bands, one of the aspects I hated about it was playing in the bars that allowed smoking. That very habit you are talking about caused my clothes and hair etc. to stink of tobacco smoke after the gig. Instruments would likewise smell like an ashtray and have to be aired out. I'm sure that wasn't good for my lungs, either.

I no longer play out, which means thankfully I can avoid any establishment that still allows smoking. I value my health and happiness too; second hand smoke isn't very healthy, and stuff that stinks of tobacco doesn't make me very happy.
What happens if you don't obtain permission?

Do you get fired, or do they claim ownership?

I do put my lunch at work on paper 2 plates, then take the lower one and cover the plate hence covering the food, put it into fridge and go to gym. lunch after gym.

When I come from gym, there is not much food left anymore in our cold buffet, by far the healthiest food I can get there).

after reading this, not so sure I want to touch those paper plates anymore, although there is no alternative at work...
> It raises the "I'm going to be a handful" alarm.

That's how you select people who either don't bother reading contracts or too afraid to question a company policy in fear of not getting a job.

Both behaviors are not what you would expect from a good and self-respecting developer.
I discovered my Dev server DB backups weren't working after reading this. I used to consider my dev server just a place where I tossed test code to mimic production, but forgot that my DB server running on it was the only copy of potentially months of work! I have it dump nightly to my desktop now which also gets backed up locally and to the cloud.
Here is a nice history of ASCII: https://github.com/ericfischer/ascii
As it says in the article, Apple has not updated their system Python in a long time, so soon you will not be able to Pip install packages using system python.
For sentimental reasons I still carry around my Teletype ASCII reference card which is laid out this way. For extra retro goodness it shows the bits as holes on a paper tape with the feed holes and everything.

When you have to design a device that does ASCII entirely mechanically then this is a efficient way to structure it. I would not be surprised to hear that mechanical considerations had a influence on the question of what bits went where.

Added: OK, I have managed to not entirely surprise myself:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Internal_organization

This seems to say that the influence was partially mechanical typewriters but the Teletype Model 33 entirely followed ASCII.
<i> is the correct element, so <i lang="la"> if you wish. A taxonomic designation is the first example given in the specification:

"The i element represents a span of text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset from the normal prose in a manner indicating a different quality of text, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, transliteration, a thought, or a ship name in Western texts."

I think if you've got any sense then you'd leave your LinkedIn profile unchanged until the exclusion period in your contract runs out. The "non-compete" clauses in mine have always been around 2-6 months, they were never enforced. I binned LinkedIn so it's not a problem for previous employers to spy on me, and my social media content never mentions anything about work things.

For other social media then just keep your nose clean and stick to posting content and discussing stuff that doesn't mention work.

But that said unless you stole your previous employer's crown jewels (customer lists, source code, IP etc) then these clauses would get thrown out if you were taken to court. Imagine a Volkswagen car dealership trying to limit, contractually, the employment opportunities of their mechanics or sales people from moving down the road to the Ford dealership for better hours/pay/commission. They'd be laughed out of the court room I think.
I used to use Marathon on Mesos for deploying Docker containers, and orchestrated it via a hacked together Jenkins cluster, which worked well but took a lot of configuration and was somewhat brittle.

I moved to Kubernetes about 6 months ago and have been really enjoying it. My first production cluster was hand rolled on AWS, where I found the cloud-provider load balancer integrations extremely helpful (https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/load-balancer/).

I'm now using Google Container Engine which is effectively just a hosted Kubernetes cluster on GCP, which has really been 0 effort setup, and have been deploying to it with Wercker (http://www.wercker.com) [Disclaimer: I currently work at Wercker as of the last few months, but was a fan/user for many years before joining]

One thing I noticed across Openshift, Mesos, and Kubernetes: none of them handle the Docker daemon on a node hanging particularly well, which in my experience happens fairly often.
That is the wrong question. The real question is what did they do to ensure that this mistake cannot be made again by anybody. In the form this variation is in, the real question is what changes were made to the design so that the system cannot be over pressurized in that way by mistake.
Or perhaps there is active malware within the NHS network? Why is the immediate assumption that the amount of traffic is not actually an indicator something is wrong?

When I've managed office networks and we've seen the captchas, every time it was traced to actual infections of a few machines. Re-imaging them (and educating users) fixed the problem.
I'm currently on an all-docker pipeline but I resent it. It's slow, tedious and everybody's trying to use docker against its design (everybody tries to make images with as few layers as possible, I think docker should just do away with the layers altogether). It also makes it harder than it should be to make an image that works both for local development and deployment at the same time. Also, docker-compose is riddled with fairly old but important bugs (for instance, Dockerignore files are ignored by docker-compose's build).

I'd much prefer doing simple bare-metal deployments again.
Those websites should still work perfectly well on modern browsers (unless they use ActiveX components of course).
Seems like quite the overblown headline, but it reminded me of the recent self-inflicted email DoS at the NHS: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/nov/14/186m-needles...

Amazon New Product Demand Forecasting | Seattle | Full-Time | On-Site ($130-$250+ depending on experience)

Amazon's New Product Demand Forecasting team is responsible for one of the most challenging problems in supply chain optimization: predicting sales for products that have no sales history. This is a uniquely creative space in Forecasting requiring our machine learning models to capture both the nuances of the global consumer marketplace as well as customer behavior on Amazon.

Our team works closely with research scientists to invent new ways to make use of novel data, solve hard engineering problems around scaling and performance in predicting for tens of millions of products, and iterate quickly in order to stay on the cutting edge. I'm looking for an experienced software developer that is comfortable with big data and machine learning and can:

* Design systems that provide a stable base for innovation in a rapidly changing business

* Improve Forecasting algorithms through data-driven analysis and experimentation in our Scala/Spark environment

* Optimize for scalability and performance of both distributed computations and near-metal C++ code

* Learn quickly and keep up with a rapidly changing machine learning and big data landscape

* Communicate their ideas clearly with all members of a diverse team

If this sounds interesting, as the hiring manager I'd love to chat or buy you coffee. Email me (Stefan) at smai@ (amazon.com) with your resume and a brief introduction. (Interview process is 1 phone screen and onsite interview with whiteboard coding and behavioral questions about your experience.)
Well done, looks very promising and useable! I'd move the example screenshot on the landing page right to the top.
Interesting results. But were twins needed for this discovery? I would imagine the the telomere length change could have been discovered by pre-mission, in-mission, and post-mission sampling. I'm guessing this was discovered in this study because of the in-depth DNA sampling, not due to having a twin to compare to.

Elixir/Erlang is really slow. The strengths of Erlang/Elixir is easy multithreading, easy distributed computing (just as easy as local multithreading), easy fault tolerance and easy low latency. If you have to do something single threaded and performance critical then you do the same thing in Erlang/Elixir as you do in Python: FFI to native code.

Content Injection Vulnerability in WordPress
"we need to regulate companies like Apple to force them to provide open platforms and to have some reasonable set of responsibilities when it comes to sunsetting older hardware"

This sort of regulation is terrible, and in my opinion should be resisted. It institutionalizes the worst tendencies of open source - free riding and slowing progress due to community restrictions.

At best, a community will be a thriving organic set of users and contributors. At worst, they are abusive parasites to the core maintainers.

The former has its own future guaranteed - customers care about a thing and are investing in it. The latter however is far more common - everyone wants something for nothing.

The world is built on organizations that need revenue to continue their mission and fulfill customer needs. Forcing companies to allocate resources to the past, the obsolete, that which customers do not want to pay for, hurts society far more than letting products die of obsolescence.

A compromise might exist where a portion of copyright law and/or taxes are allocated to preserve certain works, which would capture a balance between the economic need to create the future and the social need to preserve tradition and past practices, but that's tricky a level of nuance for policy.

Indeed, communication is fraught with all manner of difficulties today. We have a lot of things that we may feel, and some, while we may believe are justified, are not constructive to express in certain contexts. Implications like this on HN are one such case.

That doesn't mean there's no recourse. The mods actively respond to concerns like this. As I suggested above, you can contact them and they'll look into it.
It's not so much rich-people worship as it is about observing another individual who happened to become one of the richest people in the world. We can learn a lot from each other - being ignorant of the person next to you is a dangerous habit.

>, if I sell my small business, is a non-compete really something that's practical?

Yes, it's practical. If the non-compete is explicit and part of the conditions for the sale, the owner-seller is supposed to factor that into her selling price. E.g. if the owner has a mental price of $2 million to sell the furniture business but is unhappy about not being able to open another store, she needs to raise her price to $3 million to be content with not competing. In other words, the buyer of the business is partially paying the previous owner to not compete -- for a limited time such as 5 years.

Maybe you're thinking of employees and their unenforceable non-compete clauses trying to prevent them working for competitors in California. That doesn't apply to the owners selling their businesses.
