I think just a shift in mentality and a bit of legislation. This would actually be a shift back in the United States really. There was a time when milk and soft drinks came in glass bottles as a matter of course. Its actually good for companies bottom lines as well. This from a Coca Cola earning's call:

"Returnable bottles all the rage
You may remember a time when you went to the grocery store and bought returnable glass bottles of Coca-Cola, Sprite, or the mostly forgotten Tab brand. After you finished with the bottles you returned them to the store for a deposit refund. In the United States, the last of the 6.5 ounce returnable bottles were finished during October 2012 at a bottling facility in Minnesota. In Latin America the returnable bottles continue and contribute greatly to Coca-Cola FEMSA's top line growth in every geographic region. In Mexico, returnable packages grew 5%. Affordability and the desire to reduce environmental impact increased consumer appeal. Latin Americans, specifically Mexicans, faced with a shrinking pocketbook remain keen on ways to save money. Coca-Cola FEMSA wants to invest more in returnables to appease consumers' increasingly frugal nature."

I'm of the opinion that beverages actually taste better from bottles, thats part of the magic of the "Mexican Coke"(along with using real sugar as opposed to corn syrup.)

It's difficult to describe the hydrological situation of Yuba City and Marysville to people who have never been there. The rivers run through the towns way up above the street level, owing to mining debris washed down from the mountains in the Gold Rush era, and later reinforced by Corps of Engineers works. So if the rivers overflow their banks in Yuba City, the city will be ruinously flooded.

It's really freaky to stand in downtown Marysville and look up at the river bank 15 feet above you.

A more likely scenario is that they have no power or voice to do anything about it.

I ran the test about ten times and it only completed once.

The TTFB score it gives is the average score from around the world. Do I need to care that somebody in Brazil has to wait a whopping 219ms to see my English language entirely UK-centric content? I don't feel this average TTFB is therefore very useful when my target audience will get my full HTML in less than 14ms as measured by this tool (this is actually the score from Germany as for some reason the site tests from London but doesn't display it in the results table).

I also disagree that "slow and expensive legacy dynamic" PHP sites are necessarily slow. My personal site built in Slim 3 executes in less than 10ms, thank you. The only optimisation I did was turning on opcache. You'd be surprised how fast PHP 7 actually is. If I wanted I could turn on nginx's caching and serve up thousands of requests per second.

We're saying the same thing. The nature of the environment is slanted to async, thus, commonly available runtimes don't have much functionality that is synchronous.

You can find some of it, but it's the exception, not the rule.

Yes, you can build something specific, just as you can leverage async libraries in languages where it's not the common pattern.

I'm struggling to imagine a context that excuses the attitude of "that developer should be forced to retire so we can take over their project".
Sorry for the accusation, but the two sure seemed very similar in terms of naming. One thing I did notice is that your execution of the website was leagues away from the rest of the guys but I just assumed they uped their game. I'll play along with the project since if it is legit is, it is interesting to me and would provide value.

Good luck with the project. Also if you need extra input feel free to ask.

That makes sense, I commented on similar earlier. Are you also getting the use case of an outsourced "on call" or companies in the "just launched a month ago" category? I would think these would also be good fits in addition to the smaller but established companies like you mentioned design shops etc.

"I've been a programmer for 18 years now, and I am convinced that simple proven solutions are the way to go."

I would rephrase this slightly to "simple proven solutions that solve the immediate problem at hand, and nothing else."

Bringing in lots of extraneous dependencies, or DSLs offering functionality way beyond whats actually needed for the immediate problem at hand, can quickly lead to code that is very hard to understand, maintain, and debug.
While I disagree with some of the details with your approach, I think this is a great Idea. It really has gotten my mind racing with different solutions for the problems such a system presents. I signed up and will definitely keep an eye on it.

I think I might have misunderstood your critique of my earlier points: are you on a public cloud or a private-distributed set of datacenters that your team has built up over the last 15-years? if the latter, how does that differ from a public cloud other than on price? And wouldn't a new firm (not yours with 15-years of investment) be better off on AWS or Azure or GCE and get all the benefit (albeit at higher cost) of your investment? A new firm doesn't have 15-years to spend on infrastructure.

Secondly, none of my points were specifically about AWS but they were about cloud in general.
Sure, they'll already exist, but you need to know the performance characteristics of each, so you know when to use one algorithm/data structure vs the alternatives.
The reference implementation serves 3 purposes:

1) It implements the whole thing, so it can be used as-is.

2) It serves as a reference for any questions that are unanswered by the spec. Yes, specs should ideally answer all questions themselves, but there has not been a spec written yet that does not have at least one unanswered question somewhere.

3) It serves as a way to test new implementations, because you can see if your new implementation is compatible with the reference implementation. If not, then you probably screwed something up somewhere.
I've been building things for the web since 1995. I feel you-I started rolling my eyes about 5-6 years ago with all the JS fatique (I love js but the community has become tiresome when you've been in it long enough) I left frontend (as much as I could) and moved into the back. At first still basically building crud apps. I've moved into and out of GIS a couple times and found it an actually interesting problem area. You might consider taking your dev skill set into GIS. My only warning is that GIS is an enterprise ecosystem so it definitely feels like sand in my crotch given my personal preference for simple/oss.
I think you might be missing the aim here. We already have a release of TruffleRuby that starts cold but has great peak performance. This is done by way of the GraalVM. What's new is we're now able to target a new virtual machine that can provide fast start-up as well.

By far, one of the most common complaints we hear is the start-up time is too slow. The split development model you've describted works for some, but becomes problematic when you want to use extensions specific to one runtime or another. Additionally, a lot of people don't want to run completely different language implementations in development and production.

So, the idea here is to give you a choice. You get to keep the same language runtime but get to choose the VM you want to run it on based on what your current context demands.
The danger alarm of Yemeni hits the security of Israel
I am also bullish on Ethereum. A few points to notice:

- the price is pretty stable relative to early Bitcoin.

- Vitalik and the other devs are still building out economic/game theory models. And Ethereum has successfully made a hard fork. That suggests the organization has some leeway to skate where the puck is going, so to speak.

- it's very early days in terms of building out the "standard library". Lots of people working on this, collectively and privately. It's a little like the railroad tracks have been laid but they are still building the trains, not to mention stations.

- Ethereum has the benefit of being overshadowed by Bitcoin, which insulates it a bit from speculators and scammers. This is only a temporary effect, but I think obscurity helps Ethereum grow smart and slow right now.

- the forums are all about things being built with Ethereum. Bitcoin has a chicken and egg problem, where retailers need to get on board for consumers to care. But nerds can sit down and make something useful on Ethereum today.

I would put one check on this endorsement, though. Ethereum is uniquely useful in situations where you can't trust anyone. It shines in that environment.

Mostly though, we do trust the people around us. I think once the Ethereum community starts releasing big trustless e-institutions, it will be clear that most of them could run just fine with Venmo, WebRTC, and a little JavaScript.

So I think Ethereum will always have a more back-office feel, and I don't quite see it being on The Today Show any time soon.

But Vitalik Buterin is very smart and I wouldn't bet against him.
We know how to conduct experiments properly now, so there is no excuse for simply believing something when you could try and see if and how well it works.

As the speed test is going down its list of tests while you wait, you do see an "https" check - so I don't know if that 301 has any impact. I do notice that reloading the test yields varying results. I got as high as 11/100.

The dumb thing with the "Share your results" link is that that it appears to rerun the test instead of showing you a snapshot of the result from that test (so I guess it's not really sharing results, is it?).

As a side note, I'd like to add a point that I highlighted in my O'Reilly Security Conference talk but previously forgot to mention here...

One of the coolest after-effects of this whole thing was that, after the fork, when NTP classic began feeling the pressure of competition, their speed in addressing security vulnerabilities increased incredibly. While I was sorry that it didn't happen on its own, I was pleased and impressed to discover what Mr. Stenn was capable of once his competitive hackles were raised.

Many people experience hurt feelings during a fork, and a fork represents a frustrating duplication of effort that I'd usually rather avoid. However, forking is a central tenet of the open source ethos for a reason. Competition can do incredible things. <3
For me it was Turbo Pascal 5.5. It was amazing!
I was surprised as well, but as COBRA allows you to remain under the company's health plan, that option goes away if the health plan goes away, and the plan goes away when the company stops contributing. When my last employer shut down, we had less then a week to find a replacement -- we were paid up to the end of the month, but that was it.
Neuronal networks come to mind also.
First of all the DAO was a decentralized organisation, it didn't belong to Buterin, it isn't "Buterin's company"...

The hard fork had a lot more to do with the fact the overall community didn't thought the system would survive the eventual switch to proof of stake if 15% of all ether was in the hands of malicious actor. There was also the moral matter that something could indeed be done to actually return the stolen money to their original owners, there was consensus to do the fork and so the fork happened.
I agree 100%. I'm not sure what AMD is thinking, but without support from major ML tools there is no chance of competing against NVidia in this space - and this space will grow larger and larger.
If you've started on the MVP then you definitely know enough to Pre-Launch and start building momentum behind your business. The problem is doing all the research and execution for a successful Pre-Launch can be a big time-suck(dozens of hours) that takes away time that can be better spent from working on your critical code.

SecureDrop uses Tor Browser, as do many other public interest security solutions. However, a respected security expert here on HN recently said of Tor Browser:

the Tor Browser might be the least safe browser to use of all available browsers that can be installed on modern computers. It is a perfect storm of "inferior security design" and "maximized adversarial value per exploit dollar spent". / Don't use Tor Browser.

He recommends Chrome (presumably over the Tor network). I tend to believe the expert, because IME real security expertise (as opposed to technically sophisticated people reading about security and trying to DIY) is rarely utilized and applied even by prominent organizations and projects. But I wish someone would reconcile all of this.

>What should I learn so that I can become competent for jobs other than web development?

Your question is meaningless without specifying what sort of job you'd prefer or what your interests are. There is no single set of things (other than "everything") you could study that would qualify you for all non-webdev jobs.
I have just created an account to say this: CHANGING THE ID OF THE PLAN IS INSANE AND CLEARLY A BAD-DEVELOPER CHOICE.

I bet there is a piece of code in Linode codebase that has the plan resources mapped in a table, with a list of ID attached to the various sizes. The genius developer decided that it makes sense to have the "growing number ID" match the "growth in resources" assigned to the plan. In other words, the bigger ID should always mean MORE resources.

This leads them to alter IDs if they have to introduce plan-sizes that are small.

Imagine if AWS did this: you would see riots in the streets!
How did hard forking after the DAO hack increase trust? Wasn't the whole point that "no one" could modify the block chain or the results of a contract?

Now it's established that there's a chance a contract can be "too big to fail".

I think it would have built more trust if they had let the money go. To paraphrase a saying, they would have spent 15% of ETH on training everyone to build safe contracts, and to vet contracts properly before "investing" in one.

I completely agree with point 2, and see it validated in what CTO/CIO types are paying attention to. I will further that by saying that there are tangible benefits in commercial cases that are better than the ones in the consumer space. Consumers have TVs, consoles, and computers. Businesses are looking now for transformative tech to replace systems that are much older and more outdated.

For the enterprise case, AR capabilities on the phone are a great and cheap place to start in order to get a HUD view around them. Kludgy solutions like reading QR codes also work fine for their expected use cases - i.e. reading machine states, maintenance records, etc. These solutions solve a mobile interface problem that helps align information retrieval with the context of being out the field looking at a physical object.

My personal favorite AR application would be drone operation, though. AR goggle can do two things. They can assist the Remote pilot in command in maintaining a computer aided visual line of sight to the drone. (circling it in red, in your field of view, for example). It also can provide a HUD of the drone's status (battery, altitude, attitude, settings, perceived wind speed, etc.), and finally it can allow you to view an overlay of FPV from the drone to aid in your both maintaining direct LOS to meet Part 107 requirements, and also to ensure that the pilot can be inspecting, aiming, orienting and piloting the drone successfully by relying of FPV input.

Those capabilities don't quite exist yet, but I wouldn't doubt that it will be my first AR use case.
