In 2017, indeed everyone has added python2, but I assure you it wasn't that way when Arch originally did the python3 -> python rename.

While this is a small issue, this original thread used it as an example of how Arch is good and pragmatic. To me it seemed like the opposite -- it broke lots of code and packages for no good reason. Why should users of older distros have to add a symlink, when before Arch everyone could be sure that '/usr/bin/python' if present would be python2, and '/usr/bin/python3', if present, would be python3?

Now I agree that using virtualenv or similar is a good idea, but this actually caused the most problems for little 20 line python scripts, because often the users of those didn't even realise they were using python.
The 4-letter-word word that makes my blood boil
It's certainly a possibility, though I wonder how Booz Allen management could have recognized a potential problem. It's entirely possible that Martin was simply embedded with the NSA and Booz Allen management only saw him every couple of weeks as a "pulse check". If the client (NSA) had no complaints, then Martin could have been considered a "model" employee. And even if his fellow employees knew he was a hoarder...would that have really been cause for suspicion?

Additionally, in fairness to Booz Allen, in the article it states: "Martin was employed as a private contractor by at least seven different companies, working for several government agencies beginning in 1993 after serving in the U.S. Navy for four years, according to the indictment."

So if we're going to hang Booz Allen management out to dry, there might be a few other companies deserving of it as well.

Sure, it was "premeditated" but that's because I always did extremely well in school and it seemed like the obvious choice. It's not like my parents groomed me to succeed or something. They were busy enough with their own work.

If you want to argue that ambition and hard work are also essential to getting into a top school, I won't dispute that. I'd also say those are both essential qualities for successful founders.
Man, I'm sorry but I have to disagree. I may understand how to handle template metaprogramming in C++, but personally I find the complexities of business and society to be complete and total roadblocks for setting up my own business. Moreover I have no idea how to find partners who could take care of that part for me. It may seem trivial to you, but that just shows how little you understand certain programmer's (and people's) mindsets who are not knowledgeable in this area.

Using your analogy: to some (and I include myself), telling them "just start a business", is like telling your grandmother to post a question on stackoverflow when she can't figure out which little picture to click to open the word processor.

You have to understand that some things that from your point of view are easy, are hard for other people. Starting a business is NOT "brushing your teeth." There's basic "taking care of yourself," and then there's how to create a self-sufficient semi-profitable business to work on projects you enjoy. I don't see how you can make this false equivalence.
There is some variance in how people interpret "cloud". Does colocating your own machine at a remote ISP constitute being in the "cloud"? What about leasing a server? What about a virtual server, but a traditional one where it's essentially no different than a single leased server? What if your multiple real and/or virtual leased servers are in the same private network at the remote location? What if there's an API available to you (even if it deploys hardware servers)? What if extra services, such as storage, can be attached?

Different people will likely consider "cloud computing" to apply at different thresholds with different features. I also consider "in the cloud" (handled remotely in the internet) to be different than "cloud computing" (handled by a cloud service), and "cloud services" to me could mean either one depending on context. I find most your statements apply truthfully to what I consider "in the cloud", that is, remote hosting. I don't think they necessarily apply when used with "cloud services" platforms. All of a sudden, all the money you save not having to deal with hardware and paying someone to configure and maintain it is either back (you need someone to deal with the craziness of each cloud services platform, and they might cost more), or offset by higher costs, if you don't have a business case that requires you be able to scale later, or add network storage, etc. Better yet, if all you need is a website, there's plenty of services that do away with all that to just provide hosting of various sizing and shapes. Is that a "cloud service"? Is that a cloud service? Probably, but in a conversation about GCE and AWS, maybe it's not actually what's being talked about.
Ah, but the facts contradict ye. Look at private school tuitions. Look at the cost of daycare. They're not publicly subsidized, and they've risen just as fast as private college tuition.

You're also overlooking the rising value, and rising recognized value, of a college degree. Since 1979, only college-educated workers have seen median wages rise. A high school diploma earned a -27% real return over the same period. Is it any surprise young people are encouraged and willing to pay anything, anything for a shot at economic opportunity? (Further information at epi.org.)

The rise in public university tuition is largely explained by reduced subsidies. Year after year, states "hold the line" on higher education spending, leaving ever more of the cost to students (and students' families, of course). To the point that California famously once spent more on college than prisons, and now spends more on prisons than college.

The numbers tend to disagree with you. Unless you think that only hacker news users are on git... Given VIM is bundled with OSes, i would never expect neovim to take it place in usage numbers (unless OSes start adopting neovim as well)... but when it comes to actual interest, in just about every measurable aspect, neovim is coming out on top of developers who actually know about it.

Most devs I work with use it (if they use vim at all), I've seen it more than VIM lately at conferences as well. You give up nothing using it an gain a bit (and will gain much more as its further developed)

The "bother" is that Cortana is there at all. It shouldn't be. I don't want it, I didn't opt in to it, and I don't want MS changing settings on my PC without my consent.

In fact, consent is the very heart of that particular issue. I do not consent to any of this cloud-flavored bullshit, yet I am forced to deal with it to stay modern in the platform I am most comfortable on.

Also, how do those arguments "not make a lot of sense"? Your insults could use a bit more subtlety.

- Exposing secrets as in-memory files has a lot of advantages over ENV variables (harder to leak).

- We already started updating a few images (MySQL, for example), so they can use Docker secrets.

- Definitely not DDC only, but note that RBAC over secrets is a feature of the commercial product.
Linux runs all of Android which is the most common OS today. But it also runs the biggest clouds in terms of infrastructure. Google and Amazon are completely built on Linux. Linux also runs 95% of the super computers in the world.

As containers eat the world you will see more and more Linux, IMO.

Used both since .96 Linux and for network BSD was far superior but you could feel which was going to win very early so switched once Linux was usable.

> It costs a lot of money to pay people to figure what hardware to buy, install servers, networking gear, maintain it, pay for bandwidth, backup etc.

> Then of course there are the financing aspects: you don't pay for expensive servers up front, you 'lease' them effectively - which has serious working capital benefits.

There are solutions other than cloud and going to the extreme of owning servers, switches, maintenance, bandwidth and space in a datacenter.

OVH (an example due to my familiarity) will sell you a dedicated server with 2 x E5 2650v3, 256GB of RAM, 4TB of disk and 500Mbit guaranteed bandwidth (1Gbps burst) for $269/mo. This includes most of the annoying stuff, like replacing failed components, dealing with network issues and such. The bandwidth, conveniently, is also not limited aside from the speed you're given. You can use 500Mbit/s for every second of a month if you want. That's 164TB.

The cost of a n1-highmem-32, which is the closest alternative I could find on GCE is $1030/mo, plus disk ($348/mo for 2TB), plus bandwidth (164TB is $13k from Google).

Also, the cost of owning and running your own hardware isn't necessarily expensive, particularly if you're small. When you're running a fleet of thousands, yes, you definitely want dedicated people for that. When you can fit all your infrastructure in a single rack, it's not much trouble to call up Dell and ask for a quote, install it in a local DC then forget about it. Most DCs give you "remote" or "smart" hands that can do basic maintenance like swapping a failed HDD for low or no cost.

Dedicated/colocation aren't for everyone but they're certainly not as scary as some people around here seem to think. And in terms of cost, I daresay that if you're doing anything bandwidth heavy, the cloud is near-certainly costing you insane amounts of money. You can get decent gigabit transit (~300TB/mo) these days for $400/mo while Google, Amazon etc. charge in the thousands for that kind of traffic.
I'm not sure I should have to, you're advocating unnecessary suffering.
More Than Half of the U.S. Navy's Fighter Jets Can't Fly: Report
I disagree. From an evolutionary standpoint right now, the best thing an animal could do would be to be liked by humans. If we disband our love for cats and dogs and stop using them as pets, then after a while the only remaining ones would be seen as pests and would be suppressed or eradicated.

With that said, I agree that our breeding of purebred pets should be stopped. It hurts the pets with no benefit to us other than bragging rights.

How the hell does this story have so many upvotes?

HN really needs to do something about Microsoft's vote manipulation - it's becoming quite blatant at this point.
Well, we invented dogs. So while it is a good morale argument that breeding co-dependency into a species and infantilizing an otherwise very self-sufficient predator is a bad thing, its probably not going to happen. At least not in our lifetime.

Which brings us back to improving the standards for breeding that we have today. Some dogs, such as Dalmatians and Bulldogs, are genetic atrocities and should not be bred in the way that they are right now. Not only is it irresponsible, it results in a very poor quality of life for the resulting litter.

Standing firmly against these practices as an industry - as pet lovers, as professionals - is a difficult, but remarkably achievable goal.
I see you didn't bother to read the article.

> The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, in its decision last week, held that the North Carolina state legislature acted to entrench itself and “it did so by targeting voters who, based on race, were unlikely to vote for the majority party. Even if done for partisan ends, that constituted racial discrimination.”

> The court called this strategy what it is: racist. The panel wrote that “using race as a proxy for party may be an effective way to win an election. But intentionally targeting a particular race’s access to the franchise because its members vote for a particular party, in a predictable manner, constitutes discriminatory purpose. This is so even absent any evidence of race-based hatred and despite the obvious political dynamics.”

> In North Carolina, the legislature requested racial data on the use of electoral mechanisms, then restricted all those disproportionately used by blacks, such as early voting, same-day registration and out-of-precinct voting. Absentee ballots, disproportionately used by white voters, were exempted from the voter ID requirement. The legislative record actually justified the elimination of one of the two days of Sunday voting because “counties with Sunday voting in 2014 were disproportionately black” and “disproportionately Democratic.”

Thank you. You be well too.
That will mean that most small teams will fail, as they will be composed from average developers. While a few teams will succeed as they have the "extraordinary", whatever that means, developers.

But the reality is that big teams have problems independently of the capacity of the companies to attract talent. So I don't think that "average ability" is the source of the problem.

As someone else posted, The Mythical Man Month is a good read on this area. And communication overhead is an unsolvable problem as the people involved intro a project grows.
Yeah, you are correct that you can't add a non-commercial clause to the GPL and have it remain the GPL (or compatible with the GPL in either direction).

You could choose to only grant GPL licenses directly to non-profits. They would be free to pass along the same rights to commercial entities, if they chose. It's possible that in a practical sense this would present enough of a hurdle for larger companies to prefer to pay (but plenty possible that it would not).

It is also possible to grant other licenses for situations where the GPL prevents some particular for-profit activity - that kind of approach is presently making some people some money, although the incentives can be weird.
> If we're living in an era where everyone thinks the details of their gender and sexuality are important, that's not because of hipsters in Brooklyn, it's because of fundamentalists in Kansas.

I'm pretty sure no Kansas fundamentalists care (or even know) about subtle distinctions between sexualities. It's not like you can tell a socially conservative person, "I'm not actually gay, I consider myself queer and I'm attracted to personalities, not genders." and have them say, "My mistake."
Exactly. The new version of compose supports defining docker secrets inside of the compose file.
This is interesting, as I interned at Mozilla, and they have a large number of remote employees. There was only one person (other than me) on my team in my location. Mozilla also records a lot of things, but the intent is more to publish that stuff publicly, in the spirit of openness towards the community. For example, all my team meetings had public notes. I wouldn't be surprised if this tendency to record everything for the sake of the community also has positive benefits inside Mozilla.
> That's an interesting way of looking at it. Docker also came with a way to do things. Jails you were still responsible for having it set up correctly (though you could tar them which was nice).

Separate kernel and OS is ideal for containers, IMO. What was thought to be a plus with BSD I believe turned out to be a weakness.
We won't mention that our elected bureaucrats have an 18% approval rating.
I thought you might say that. If you have an app that does a lot of deletes that bloat becomes noticeable quickly. I think they might actually have document level finally. Rocks is interesting as it deals with the write amplification problem and its tuneable. TokuMX was another interesting storage and had good compression. I would curious if you ever evaluated that.

Hey. Hey.
"actual active development that isn's a single contributor is going to create a better project"

Depends on what your definition of "better" is. If you just want stable software that's bug free, multiple contributors might actually make the software worse. A lot of people use vim in a way such that Neovim will be no improvement.

Neovim could become like the next zsh. I use zsh every day and have for years. I think it's "better". But for most people bash is good enough so they use it. The things that are better in zsh are not things they care about, so they will not bother switching.
That is the same trust boundary as in Kubernetes currently:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/secrets/

It is the most important step that you can package containers without having to know the production secrets and to have a "standard" was to retrieve them.

No one, without production access, has a way to obtain them.
Maybe i didn't convey the original message correctly, but I don't feel sorry for myself. I feel pressed for time, and that I'm aging out of opportunities even when I'm young. It's more of a psychological illusion than a reality, and it looks like many people share the same stress over it.

Sometimes I think to be able to write with style, have style, and be an engaging speaker you need to have experience and have led an interesting life.

What's a genetic algorithm going to get you that a traditional numeric solution won't?
There's no 'silver bullet' - but surely a 'large product' does not need to start off as a 'large product'.

A 'small team' making an MVP, and then moving on incrementally from there, adding more people to do peripheral features as the project progress might seem like a good way to overcome some inherent 'monolithic' risks - as well as keep costs down at the start.

It takes an open mind from management to grasp that building complex software is not like building a really big building. You just can't predict outcomes, so, you have to build a good team that can forge a path, and have some 'kill-it-don't-kill-it' guidelines, and expect that many will fail.

I wish them all the best. Numpy is free software. As long as people stop using Matlab and non-free software to get do scientific computing, I don't care if they use Octave or Numpy or R or Julia. We're all on team free software. Julia and R are also GPLed, and they seem to be doing well.

As long as people need to run Matlab scripts without Matlab, there will be a need for Octave.
- We're working on external store support. First implementation will probably be w/ Vault, but we would love for this to come from the community.

- If you have access to the managers, you have access to all the secrets (and access to administer the whole cluster), but normal swarm nodes only have access to the secrets required to run services that will be scheduled on them. Also this are erased as soon as the service is deleted or rescheduled on some other node.
I'd agree with that.

I actually can't think of a tool I use day to day that I wouldn't recognise from 20 years ago even the really good stuff would be obvious in it's intent (intellij etc).

I'm not really sure where I'd be able to improve significantly on day to day tool usage, maybe a shell that doesn't use bash as the language would be nice (I know there are other shells but bash/dash are the defaults on pretty much everything I touch I can get to a command line on).

> Honestly, all Atlassian products have terrible UI. JIRA is just as bad.

The individual UIs are not that bad. The problem is that people tend to use not only e.g. JIRA, but also Confluence, or more. And then the (massive) differences between their products in UX appear.

As a sysadmin, there's one thing that really annoys me: all that Atlassian stuff is written in Java (which means: on every problem one has to dig through pages after pages of Java stacktraces), and it eats resources like nothing else. GitLab got better in the recent versions, but it also had its fair share of interesting problems with memory leaks.

Oh, and both don't support MySQL (Atlassian does, but very limited) - which is bad if nearly everything else is MySQL and you already have a MySQL DBA.
