Since most of the solutions mentioned here are container based, I will provide something different.

Started using Juju[1]. Basically, Juju handles bootstrapping/creating instances you need in the public clouds and you can use Juju Charms to specify how to deploy your services. So our deployment looks like this:

- juju bootstrap google # Get instance in GCE
- juju deploy my-app # My app is deployed to GCE

You can actually try this with already publicly available apps. Example, You can deploy Wikimedia[2] by just doing:

juju deploy wiki-simple

This will install Wikimedia, MySQL and creates the relationship needed between the Wikimedia and the database.

In our case, we have a production and development environments. Both are actually running in clouds in different regions

- juju bootstrap google/us-east1-a production
- juju deploy my-app

- juju bootstrap google/europe-west1-c development
- juju deploy my-app

In addition to running in different regions, development looks at any changes to development branch in our GitHub repo.

We don't use any containers. Juju allows us to deploy our services in any clouds (aws, gce, azure, maas ...) including local using lxd.

CB Insights – NYC – ONSITE – Engineering, Research, Sales, Marketing, and Data
We're growing the size of our team this year by over 50% and are looking for teammates to join us. We tend to like people who are great at what they do and who can be described with the 4 H's - happy, helpful, humble and hungry.

All of our current openings are listed here: https://www.cbinsights.com/jobs#jobs-list

ABOUT CB INSIGHTS:
CB Insights has built a tech market intelligence platform that analyzes millions of data points on venture capital, startups, patents, partnerships and news media to predict technology trends.
We believe that technology and probability are better than talking heads and punditry when it comes to helping our clients predict their next market, their next acquisition, their next investment, their next customer or their competitor's next move.
We were initially backed by the National Science Foundation and bootstrapped to millions in revenue before taking venture capital financing in late 2015.

As someone who has worked in Dallas, Austin and now Silicon Valley I can answer this question with some perdonal anecdotes.

Silicon valley is miles ahead and will remain miles ahead of these other upcoming "silicon whatevers". The environment is just different here; people are willing to put their lives into building something (it's arguable if that's healthy disposition), people are smarter (and also smart asses) and there is general "itch" to do something entrepreneurial. To scratch this "itch" there are people willing to put money and everything on the line which I haven't seen in Texas. There is a reason why most major technological developments come out from Silicon Valley and not elsewhere. Hell, if I were a hiring manager, I wouldn't hire myself for a position here if I were working in Texas :P (I'm exaggerating here, the point is that I never had the drive and neither do most of the people there)

P.S: Please don't inundate with negatives of silicon valley, we all know about it. What's unarguable is the technological output of Silicon Valley.
I think secret orbit just means the orbit might not be publicly published.

New GameStop Program Leads Employees to Lie to Customers
I don't think anyone has ever typed End If in visual studio. The VB IDE always had very proactive statement completion, that the C# IDE only recently matched. All you end up typing is "for i=1 to 10", press enter, not worrying about the casing and the IDE does the rest. To me the quality of the IDE makes 50% of the quality of a language and the VB.net IDE was superb.
Seattle, WA, ONSITE ONLY

We're building a communication hub for manufacturers and retailers, so that they can exchange all kinds of information related to the goods being traded. This hub will gradually take over all other communication methods such as Excel/FTP/Email/Dropbox towards Cloud/Mobile. As well, it will allow to repurpose a customer's data for a number of additional products for them. We're aiming for scale of tens of thousands of manufacturers, this is not a consultancy gig.

We're looking someone who can empathize with how the users are running their business, and who can employ technical skills and wits to build a better workflow for those users. This is a Principal-level position, you would need to own the outcome in it's entirety. Your scope of responsibility will start with optimizing individual workflows for our customers, a combination of features to remove a given thorn in customer's side, and it will progress to entire products. All the way from interviewing representative customers to mass-deployment.

There is no shortage of work:

- E-Commerce integration
- EDI integration
- Mobile development
- Interaction design
- Generating print material
- Payment processing
- User analytics (for our customers to track *their* customers)
- Email campaign orchestration and tracking (ditto)
- Data visualization (ditto)
- Logging
- C# business logic
- Modern web front-end, likely React or Vue.js

About us:

- Opportunities: A huge area of responsibility. Pick two if you dare.
- Family-friendly: Sane hours, generous vacations.
- Benefits: Health.
- Financial security: Enough pay so you don't have to worry about it.
- A stake in success: Meaningful stock option grant. Really.
- Profitable

Well, your arguments seem equally non-sequiter to me. I spend a lot of time in the world of correlations, in biology. They're not so useful. It's much better to get a causation: a knob that when you turn it you get a response, rather than no response. If you can't see the utility of the two, then perhaps there's not much to discuss?

For example, being obsessively careful would help you survive when drunk, as then you'd only be moderately careful.... whereas a normal person goes from moderately careful to careless when drunk. That's what I mean by "being drunk all the time having an evolutionary impact" - I wonder if this could explain being obsessive or overcautious. That is, mild forms of OCD existing as an adaptation to an alcohol-rich environment.
Take a look at the TechEmpower benchmarks:

https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

DropWizard is modern, but it isn't fast. Go and even Node.js are significantly faster. If you want performance, you cut layers out of the stack - check out the numbers for raw servlets or even just straight Jersey annotations in that benchmark. If I were doing JSON-over-HTTP microservices in Java, I'd likely use straight Jersey + Jackson, or if performance was really a problem, Boon over straight servlets.

What framework did your Go rewrite use? The standard libs?
I think tech firms were thrown into politics more so than other industries. Tech has had to fight for privacy: PRISM/SOPA/PIPA; Apple vs FBI; Google in China; even Blackberry vs middle eastern countries (if i recall correctly).

I bet they don't want to be involved, but have been thrown into it. It's almost expected of them to say something to protect their brand.

If they made coffee like Starbucks, sure... no politics, no problem.

Given a certain background of assumptions about meaningfulness, the article offers up some sufficiently plausible tactics. The assumptions though lean heavily on values unique to this particular civilisation. With its value-free description of merely individual pet 'projects', I suspect (but can't of course know) that it would be incomprehensible to the vast majority of humans that have ever lived.

Given how rapidly our planet's ecosystems are collapsing under that same civilisation's depredations, this might be an unwise hostage to fortune.
Disagree, see my reply above. Every movement has both.

Every movement has an ebb and flow. They become stronger and weaker. But keep in mind that when empowering the rational activists, you are by necessity also empowering the shrill mob. I want people to be mindful of this. Have convictions, but breathe, meditate, do whatever you need. If you feel angry, let yourself be, but then let the anger and everything else go, and rely only on your principles. No emotions.

This. Once you socialise the costs of something it becomes increasing easy to justify laws banning it. Welcome to creeping authoritarianism.

The solution: stop socialism. Or if you must, tax at a level sufficient to cover the costs, but no more.

Buffett's a poor example of the meta-money problem. A lot of the finance industry probably adds negative value and is a problem. Buffett does add some value. If you think sound finance has no value take a look at Venezuela, Argentina, the dot com bubble, the housing bubble and so on.
It's not just about clock speed. While Intel Core CPUs don't scale down to power budgets as low as ARM cores, they are impressively efficient on a perf/watt basis. Smart phones achieve high battery life mostly by being very aggressive about reducing CPU load in software (see iOS killing apps the moment they go into the background). General purpose operating systems don't work like that so there's more reliance on the hardware to keep power draw down.

There are two types of web application providers. Those who have already had database mishaps causing data loss, and those that WILL. No matter how good, or our how large and 'professional' the company is, mistakes can happen.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted because you are correct: London salaries are pitiful even before you factor in the enormous cost of living there (I lived and worked in London for 4 years but did contracting as the salaries even 10+ years ago were and are a joke comparatively).

It's one reason I and many others work in the US instead.

My complaint against openoffice/libreoffice is about their programming/scripting interface: it is a total mess to deal with.

A couple of weeks ago I had the task to dynamically update the value of two cells in a calc spreadsheet. I did it, but ended up using a library that build on a library that builds on ... that build on UNO or whatever it's called.

The api is a mix of C++ and Java, documentation is pretty much non-existing and code examples are incomplete and ridiculous.

If I had been using excel I could have been using the win32 com api and get it done in a couple of hours at most.

But don't get me wrong: when doing non-programming stuff it works great!

> How is it far more complex than C#?

Basically you answered your own question. VB.NET has all the same features as C#, evolved over the same time, but VB.NET has a bunch of additional "crap" held over from a language and environment that it isn't compatible with anymore. That's how it's more complex.

You didn't even consider in your example that you declare variables with the keyword "Dim". Do you even know why? It's meaning has almost been lost to history and makes little sense for what it's used for now.
The site used to be mostly craigslist-type ads with set prices so you could see what kinds of cars you could buy for $X. I was disappointed (and stopped going there) when they started having auctions for that reason. There are plenty of sites where I can see interesting cars. If I'm not actually in the market for buying a car it's not as interesting. But it's still a cool site regardless.

On the other hand, they're commoditizing Intel further and differentiating from the competition.

HP and Dell have gotten smarter and are making better devices. Apple has powerful resources in the ARM space that their competition cannot match -- they are 100% dependent on Intel, who are having issues shipping product.
My guess is that the CPU "leap" will be in power efficiency rather than raw performance. My guess is that the returns for each jump in CPU power these days isn't helping the vast majority of users, but they certainly care about battery life.

JV-what? I just installed nuget on ubuntu and what is this?
Yep. I think the right approach is to expose the browser's primitives and just have people write their own markup/layout/style languages if they want to. Keep HTML/CSS as a fall-back and because a lot of work has gone into optimizing their performance, but start the long-needed move to opening up mainstream browsers on a lower level. Also, of course, leave JS as a fall-back but introduce a lower-level language. Re-implement HTML/CSS/JS on top of the new exposed primitives in order to expedite moving to the new standards. So you'll be able to use either original, optimized HTML/CSS/JS, or the new HTML/CSS/JS that has been re-implemented on top of the new exposed primitives, or just new stuff built on those primitives.
When describing a job, on the "satisfaction" page, I'm not sure how to interpret the "impact of work" rating. Is it talking about the job's impact on my life, or does it refer to a sense that doing the work accomplished something meaningful? Are larger numbers better (as with the satisfaction and recommendation sliders) or are smaller numbers better (as with the weekly hours and travel % sliders)?
H1B visas are really a lottery now. You can give it a shot, but be prepared to try for a few years.
Here's the canonical example:

A is correlated to C. B is correlated to C. A is NOT correlated to B.

How is that possible?

The argument is that, if causation is unidirectional and acyclical, then the only causal structure that leads to the above is that A and B both cause C.

There's no other way to do it. And you can derive causation from observational data!

Of course in real life there are a bunch of problems with this, particularly measurement error and hidden unmeasured or unmeasurable variables. But more or less those exist with experimental data as well. You can only conclude things about observed variables and a very large number of unmeasured variables could throw off your inference.

Anyway, I more or less held your belief on this until I read Pearl's (and colleagues') material. There's much more expansion to it than the canonical example above.
