Are you speaking about mobile or internet to the home? Also, which neighbors and do you have a specific comparison?

As @zmix states, my experience with internet to the home is pretty good and reasonable (to me anyway). It's even a little faster in FFM (120 down from Unity and you actually get that whens speed testing too) for the same price. I've lived in Austria and Switzerland and I don't find that they are "crush"ing Germany. Switzerland offers a tantalizing 1gb down service, but when you actually plug in an address it's hard to find buildings that are wired for that (and they seem to know it because the plans that step down from that are only nominally less even though the speed is massively different).

Speaking specifically of mobile, I don't find access to be that expensive (unless you go with Telekom), but I will second (or third) the lack of coverage. I have O2 and find that it basically doesn't work outside of cities. The train ride between FFM and Mannheim is a signal desert for me which is crazy because this is a very busy corridor. If this is what you meant by access, then I would probably agree since mobile data coverage outside of cities seems to at least exist in other places.
> I am angry about how the EU has been portrayed by your media and politicians during the last 30 years

Frankly, so am I. Blaming the UK in general is about as productive as blaming all Americans for Trump.

The UK has a big lead in fake news, to the point that the Daily Mail has now been prohibited by wikipedia from being considered a "source". Nobody really has a good idea what to do about this, and the Opposition have become uniquely useless.
This is so true. Point in case - Instagram also runs on Django!
the Suave extension for ASP.NET Core (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Suave.AspNetCore/) is fast and you can use lots of suave specific features, with same performant kestrel as base, because suave is added as middleware.

Or there is also a new attempt (https://github.com/dustinmoris/AspNetCore.Lambda) to use api similar to suave, more integrated with asp.net core itself (security/auth/etc).
Can you say how this is related? I am trying to get into remote development (after 20 years of software experience).

How are the other two points mentioned earlier related to remote working? I am curious.
> The only reason "NoSQL" exists at all is 20-something hipster programmers being too lazy to learn SQL

For me as a 20-something swe who claims to be somehow proficient in SQL and NoSQL, I find it way more difficult to get the NoSQL datamodel right. With traditional SQL, you can basically do whatever you want with a model that looks however it wants. But if I have a, eg Cassandra model and a new requirement pops up, I cannot just do some joining and satisfy that.
Actually sometimes I prefer reddit because it is also fun in addition to being informative. Too many on HN take themselves too seriously.

Well to be honest they don't say that the browser doesn't store your browsing data temporarily. As a matter of fact it has to do that in order to provide you with caching, cookies and local storage for your private browsing session. Normally this data gets wiped out when you close the window, but when the browser crashes it doesn't have chance to do so, so they restore the windows for you so you can make the decision whether to close them or not.

> Homoiconic programming paradigm that so many interviews ask questions about these days.

What? You're telling me that companies discovered Lisp?
A lot of that is true, but to be sure there are use cases for NoSQL--they are simply too often misunderstood or abused, being used when a traditional RDBMS would have worked fine. Elastic/horizontal scaling for certain types of data that are amenable to it (i.e. event logs, feeds, append only type stuff): its going to be hard to keep up with something like Cassandra there, where you can pretty much add servers on the fly to pick up load. In memory stuff for sure, for a distributed volatile in-memory key store. Simple flexibility you get going schema-less: if you have an embedded DB/on-premise application, you can't just get into your customer's environment and perform a migration; having a flexible schema can make patch updates easier.

The first-run experience of Transferwise blows UKForex out of the water.

If I want to convert 1000 EUR to USD, the number one thing I care about is how many USD I will get for my EUR.

The front page of Transferwise has a giant input right at the top of the page that tells me exactly how many USD I will get, and tells me that rate is guaranteed for 48 hours.

The front page of UKForex has a much smaller input, and it's "market rate" - if I want to find out how many USD I will actually get, I have to register and create an account.

This is just one example, but it speaks to my whole experience of Transferwise vs. other foreign exchange providers. The user experience is best-in-class.
The link at the bottom from one of the bureau members is also good read: https://www.reddit.com/r/badeconomics/comments/2twaoe/is_a_b...
Have you used UKForex before Transferwise? How do they compare?
"NoSQL" has it's use case just like traditional DBs do.
The problem is that most "NoSQL" provider try to sell you their DB for everything when a good old SQL DB might be better.

For example, I worked on a IoT project for an R&D company and Riak was definitely a better choice than a SQL database for our usecase : Easily distributed, handle large very large amount of small write and small amount of large read. It was also a necessity because we could generate several gigabyte per minutes and being able to add Riak node to add more storage space and bandwidth dynamically was very useful.

But yeah, SQL DBs are like a good toolbox : They can be used in most situation and will work fine. But "NoSQL" DBs are usually more of a dedicated tool for a specific use : It's better for this specific case but might not do well for other tasks.
There was some previous discussion about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13302906 . I too had to turn down their offer of $2000 USD per month for a Senior position after the second round. This issue keeps coming up in posts about Gitlab and there doesn't seem to be any progress.

I love the Gitlab product and what they have done to Git hosting. But, their salary structure is really screwed up.
A good carpenter might have no talent and acquires her skills through experience. She uses the skills to build something (a tree-house, a shed) and she is driven by the passion to build something, to look at her finished work and see it is useful. I wouldn't imagine her driven by the passion to use a table saw or wood glue.

Programming is a tool, a means to an end. One writes code to create something, and it helps to be talented if one has little experience. Passion helps to reach your target (e.g. create a new OS kernel, a new programming language). I may enjoy programming, but passion for programming without a target wouldn't drive me far.

>Especially the "lazy" is very uncalled for in my opinion - there's just too much to learn, and too little time.

How is that a valid justification for reinventing the wheel, and poorly at that? In the end they're having to come around and learn SQL anyway, judging by all the Mongo hate and "why we switched to Postgres" posts I see here, so they gained nothing by avoiding it.

>or even know where you're making the wrong choices.

They could try actually listening to older developers for once and trusting established solutions like PostgreSQL instead of chasing after everything new and shinny that catches their eye.
If you own the software, you can grant specific people and institutions a GPL license for your software, and grant other people and institutions a commercial license (and refuse to grant them a GPL license for your software).

However, everyone who has received your software under the GPL can sublicense it to the people who you denied the GPL to. You can't forbid it, but they don't have to, and you can nicely ask them to never sublicense it.
The rest of the world explicitly doesn't ship the latest software, check the kernel version in the latest version of ubuntu vs arch, same for GNOME etc. Ubuntu did not even had python3 installed for a long time by default, you had to apt-get it

This resonates with me to an extent. I get easily bored with the mundane day to day tasks in the language i'm forced to use. There is an occasional spark of passion when i come across something of interest. Other than that i day dream of other programming languages, solving problems that have an impact on my fellow humans.

The passion was driven out of me by the need to pay the bills. I'd like to think that i'm a gun for hire, unfortunately i'm more like the tap. When there's a need it's used, nothing more, nothing less.

I wish i could do something more exciting with my skills.

If there's too much to learn and little time, you learn the stuff that computer science got right. Some abstractions are so good that you should prioritize learning them above any technology of the day:

- Relational algebra

- The network stack model (OSI or IP; it is irrelevant)

- Compiler theory

- Category theory

You'll never regret the time spent on these.
Well, that enterprise has to receive the software under the GPL license first, and you can absolutely refuse to grant them that, in which case they have to find someone else who has received it under the GPL, and ask that party to sublicense it to the enterprise under the GPL.
I think it is false dichotomy. "Best" programmers at least do nothing before they have a plan and HLD (good or bad). Productive programmers simply get things done both ways, good or bad. I've seen many times how we "productively" produced overengineered unreadable spaghetti that works. Yeah, I can write even straighter single-page perl golf too to show selling prototypes, but that's not what we are paid for as a company. That can be outmanaged by detailed design specification, but then you have to have an expertise at the code level (easy) and spend half time on the task yourself (hard).

Both types can do good or bad for you.

Edit: iow, smart and get things done, not or.
> A single Postgres machine holds all data?

Yes. It's currently using 80GB of disk, so regarding disk space I can scale for years. I have tiering system where older data gets stored in Google cloud storage, and grabbed on demand. So regarding space, there isn't an issue scaling up. It's also trivial to increase disk space on live VMs on GCE.

> So you scale the database by switching to a stronger machine?

That's my plan. We're at about 50% overall load as I write this, and here's the usage on the database server: "load average: 0.09, 0.16, 0.17". We're collecting historical Prometheus and other monitoring about load and queries, etc. By the time we need 32 cpus (the GCE limit), either the GCE limit will be raised, the company will be dead (no way in hell), or the company will be wildly successful. So in the only case in which I need to scale out, it will be an exciting new problem that I can hire a team to help with, and we'll benefit from understanding exactly what the problem is we need to solve.

I have wasted an enormous amount of time until now due to premature worry about scalability, fueled by my naive assumptions about how quickly SageMathCloud would grow.
The question I'd ask in response to this post is "So where did the money actually go?"

I suspect inequality and wealth transfer explains much more of the observed trends than the author acknowledges at the end. In each of the verticals discussed, there have been strong (albeit sometimes less obvious) trends for consolidation among institutions and organizations. This includes companies, government contractors, and even vendors in ecosystems we tend to think of as decentralized like local schools, where significant consolidation might be occurring over time at the level of food suppliers like Aramark, utility companies, or diesel fuel suppliers for school buses.

These organizations' compensation and capital structures, in turn, likely grew increasingly unequal over time. Stockholders, stakeholders like executives, and intermediaries like insurance companies in those organizations likely extracted more and more capital relative to traditional stakeholders like the college students, physicians, and teachers addressed in the post.

Wealth transfer from traditional stakeholders (college students, physicians, teachers) to organizational stakeholders (execs, stockholders, suppliers in consolidating markets) seems like both a cause and a consequence of the 'cost disease' discussed in the post.
Password‐cracking software 2017
One thing pointed out in the episode is how charging one fixed price really binds the nation together, whether or not you are mailing something to an address around the corner or from NYC to San Francisco (or to more remote regions like the bottom of the Grand Canyon).

This got me thinking: How far can you send an envelope with just one (domestic) stamp? Well it turns out that you can mail a stamp to a military base (say, in Japan) or consulate for the same price as a domestic delivery. But this is routed through the military / consular mail systems and feels a bit like cheating :)

It turns out the tiny island of Palau has a US zip code (96940 - I believe it is now an independent nation? weird). So unless there is a zip code further east than Maine, I guess that's the longest distance you can send a letter entirely through the USPS with one domestic stamp. - about 8,500 miles.

According to http://trump2cash.biz/ ,

"Overall, the algorithm seems to succeed more often than not: The simulated fund has an annualized return of about 59% since inception. There are limits to the simulation and the underlying data, so take it all with a grain of salt."
I thought the exact same thing, but then I scribbled out an imaginary two-good economy and realized that this is exactly accounted for in Baumol's cost disease (I think). If the price of (technology-neutral) school rises, the prices of (technology-neutral) teachers should rise equally. If the price of school is rising faster than wages, then it's a sign there's something more going on than measurement of dollars. I rather liked Scaevolus's alternative framing above to sidestep the issue of measuring dollars.

That's not virtue signalling it's countersignalling. They're so obviously great that no one is going to doubt that no matter what they say. If someone who's mediocre says they're not talented it's easy to believe. If they actually suck even more so. When you get to DHH levels whether they have natural talent or are "just" extremely hard working with an average amount of talent becomes academic.

That's a remarkable criticism for someone who:

She earned about $165,300 from September 2010 through August 2011 as a special adviser to President Obama, setting up the consumer protection agency she helped establish.

Before that, she collected a total of $192,722 for leading the congressional panel that oversaw the US bank bailout. That government salary covered a period that began before her latest disclosure report, spanning from November 2008 through September 2010.

Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard Law School professor and consumer advocate challenging Republican Senator Scott Brown, took home more than $700,000 in compensation from teaching and consulting fees over a two-year period from 2010 to 2011, according to her most recent financial disclosure form.

I don't understand how you can in good conscience make criticisms like that while collecting millions of dollars serving the American people and working in academia.

as mperham said (i use sidekiq btw), once you know how you want to charge people (license, support, book, conference, whatever) the mechanics of going about it on the business side are pretty straightforward. you need to set up a legal entity (corporation or LLC), get a bank account, and set up a (e-commerce) store front somewhere.

the nice thing is that octave is established enough that you won't need to do a lot of marketing to develop awareness of the product, which is usually the hard part. you also have some validation for your product (a large and successful competitor and a bunch of support contracts for octave). it sounds like, instead, the hard part for you is figuring out what you want to sell and getting going. people seem willing to help, so take them up on the offer! i'm also happy to lend an ear or a hand if need be. good luck!

Considering the burnout rate of my fellow non-freelancing developer friends, I would actually suggest the opposite.

Staying in a company for 1.5 years and perfecting a niche technology, while helping the company and get paid for that is one of the best sides of being a developer.

Of course you can go to a company that attracts with business/life opportunity, rather than tech. stack, but nevertheless development cycle there is usually more slow and corporate.

As a significance of "gluing" front end together, I would say that this is becoming an area of extreme expertise and yes, you can safely build your career around that.

It doesn't really compute anything though - other than producing more code which is in one of the core paradigms. I wouldn't argue that this is a paradigm in the same category. It's a very handy set of (often very complex) shortcuts. C++ templates at one level just save you a lot of typing. At another level they let you do type-level computation, but that's just shifting execution into the compile phase instead of the runtime phase.

AOP, as far as my experience goes, is a structural thing. Again, it doesn't change anything fundamental about how programs are evaluated but rather how the pieces of a program are assembled.

PostgreSQL has supported XML for years (long before it supported JSON). And online schema changes are not only possible, but even transaction safe, which is especially nice for migrations.
