My though exactly. It's already the case with faster DB. E.G: most projects my customers make me work on will never need scaling on multiple instances. They run really fast on a single postgres instance.

One had some perf issues.

First he just moved the DB to avoid having it on the same machine as the web server. Saved him a year.

Then as the user base grew, he just bought a bigger server for the db.

Right now it works really fast for 400k u/d, and there are still 2 offers of servers more powerful that the current one he has. By the time he needs to buy them, 2 new more incredible offers will probably exist. Which is a joke because more traffic means he has more money anyway.

Having a cluster of nodes to scale is a lot of work. So unless you have 100 millions users doing crazy things, what's the point ?

Ask HN: Efficiency vs. efficacy of tech stacks
Tech stacks are endlessly fascinating for HN readers. I think its because we suspect that part of the reason a startup is so successful is because it uses the right tools.

Many of the tech stacks one finds are massive for 1000 enterprise companies:

http://techstacks.io/

I consider these to be effective. They cost a lost, but they keep the thing running.

On the other end of the spectrum there are probably tech stacks that are used by a single founder to get their side app up and running.

These are likely to be: rails, django, etc.

Is there any study, clue, anecdotes about efficient stacks?

I am looking for stacks where:

1. A single founder or two

2. Build out a massive product

3. And carry it on for as long as possible before having to scale up.

My suspicion is that we may find these founders all use similar stacks.
I'm a little confused about how read speed is 2x slower than write speed. With respect to 'correctness', you're drifting into pyrrhic victory or 'not even wrong' territory at that point.

When there are basic expectations of behavior that aren't being met, many of us would reject the idea that this code is 'correct'.

I also got started on GW-BASIC (on DOS 3.3).

Twenty years later, I'm still writing way too much Basic code (VB6 legacy apps and some VB.NET). I do appreciate a lot of things about the syntax and wish C# had picked them (no semicolons and no case sensitivity).
If CDB just wants to be a niche, live in a corner in the shadow of Cloud Spanner or other similar big players, the name is not critical.

Otherwise, its a realistic issue has to be addressed.
Let me rephrase: for some types of problems it is easier to use an imperative language, because it is easier to express the fastest way of doing it imperatively.

What happens if you try to mail or ship a smartphone across the border, as opposed to carry it with you when you are crossing the border? I'm wondering if you could ship your regular phone ahead, and use a burner while you are traveling.

If that works, that could be an interesting business opportunity. Set up a series of phone exchange stations near major airports, where outgoing travelers can swap their smartphone for a burner. You ship the smartphone to your station near their destination, and when they arrive they can turn in the burner and retrieve their smartphone.

You could also add in a temporary backup/restore service for laptops. A traveller could bring their laptop to your station when they are preparing to leave, and you do a backup of all user data and then delete it from the laptop.

While they are in transit, you send the data to your exchange station nearest their destination. When the traveller brings their laptop in, the user data gets restored.
I'll just note that you framed it very narrowly as "wired broadband" so the argument works; someone who takes the opposing view might consider dialup, 4g, satellite, or other services to be competition you could switch to. They likely have more market share than DuckDuckGo compared to Google/Bing.

I stayed at the company I was at (Klick Health) for a few more years, but moved to a different department doing more interesting things. Truthfully, I left because even after two very large raises, the salary was still not competitive w/ similar recruiter-advertised positions.

After that, I went to work remotely for a company in Boulder, CO, called Human Design.

Money-wise, the better opportunities I heard about in TO were mostly from a recruiting agency called JobSprings (usually in the 120k range, usually in the queen west area). It's exceedingly rare to find anything above 150k. Tech wise, yes, it's predominantly Angular 1 jobs.
Ive got a trick. As a lawyer i keep a note on my laptop deacribing how it is encrypted (linux, home dirctories + trucrypt archives for important stuff) and that content is subject to attorney-client privacy rules. Ive been asked to unlock several times. I say "sure thing, but ill need some sort of court order so i dont get sued." Faced with a reasonable person willing to unlock, they have never pushed the matter. For my phone, phones cannot be trusted. Dont do anything you want to keep private on a phone. Buy a netbook.

I would suggest saying something like "sure thing, but i use this device to talk to my lawyer and i should ask him first if it is ok." They wont want the hassle of dealing with this perfectly reasonable request. (Don't fib. Have a lawyer first. All you need to do is email one a couple times for that statement to he true.)
Wow, thanks for your honesty and sharing your team's numbers. They match up with my "gut feeling" about what happens with tech industry compensation: Steep ramp up from zero to ~5 years, much less so for the next 10, then pretty much plateau. I wonder if the way we [don't] reward experience in the software industry contributes to the "shortage of engineers" perception that keeps coming up in related discussions.
>WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO US?

We were attacked on 9/11, and our government succeeded in convincing many of us that the rights we were taking for granted were in fact making us vulnerable to an existential enemy within, and needed to be incrementally deconstructed in light of the "new normal."
Well, for one thing, the "right to privacy" came from a Supreme Court opinion handed down over the scope of the 4th Amendment. I think it was Renquist, but the court basically created a right out of whole cloth. Privacy has always been a kind of non-starter in the US and there is only a hodge-podge of laws that support it. If you value your privacy you will stay the hell off the Internet and never carry a cell phone.
That will be difficult to do for those of us without Facebook profiles!

Until quite late, with Edison and co, they didn't. And that's like 2 centuries after independence. All major inventions (and their first major uses in production) came from Europe until then, from the steam engine (UK) and the radio (Italy), to the car engine (Germany), the refrigerator (Germany, UK), the battery (Italy), telephone (Scotland), etc.

>Only duplicated others' work identically or with uglier, shoddier construction at lower prices?

Also, "uglier, shoddier construction at lower prices"? You seem to be under the impression that the Chinese just build cheap knockoffs.

Actually they also build also the high quality, high precision stuff you buy, from iPhones to BMWs (as of now 1 million BMWs have been assembled in Chinese plants).
I remember seeing a C++ (Borland) book that was entirely about building a flight simulator. Google is betraying my attempts to find it though, and i'm not sure who the actual publisher was.

(Cockroach Labs CTO here)

Jepsen is essentially a worst-case stress test for a consistent database: all the transactions conflict with each other. CockroachDB's optimistic concurrency control performs worse with this kind of workload than the pessimistic (lock-based) concurrency control seen in most non-distributed databases. But this high-contention scenario is not the norm for most databases. Most transactions don't conflict with each other and can proceed without waiting. Without contention, CockroachDB can serve thousands of reads or writes per second per node (and depending on access patterns, can scale linearly with the number of nodes).

And of course, we're continually working on performance (it's our main focus as we work towards 1.0), and things will get better on both the high- and low-contention scenarios. Just today we're about to land a major improvement for many high-contention tests, although it didn't speed up the jepsen tests as much as we had hoped.
You can now subscribe to Sling($20 to $50 a month), Direct TV Now($40 to $80 a month) and Playstation Vue to watch live TV over the web or whatever device. Soon Hulu will offer the same too for $40.

Apple hasn't offered the same, but all these other services do. Overall none of exciting to me, as I just want and need Internet and watch things thru my TV connected to my Mac Mini (free & oodles of stuff to watch).
Clojure's first stable release was in 2009 so it's either very young or very old, depending on how far you zoom out.

Rust is exciting for use-cases that are very different from Clojure's, and the only thing I can say for Swift in this context is that I prefer it to Javascript, which I in turn prefer to other C-style languages.

I'm currently working on a single-person (but expected to grow) project in Clojure and really appreciate the concurrency and state primitives, the functional standard library, the ecosystem and community of high-quality standard tools and packages, and (while I seldom write them myself) macros, which enable you to you write amazingly readable code. The community has a strong preference to functions over macros, but used judiciously you can get things like Clojure's core.async. So you get the benefits of a Lisp without a lot of the drawbacks commonly pointed out regarding other Lisps. I enjoy it a lot.

OpenSSL 1.0.1f is completely unsupported by the OpenSSL project, as that advisory points out:

Support for version 1.0.1 ended on 31st December 2016. Support for versions
0.9.8 and 1.0.0 ended on 31st December 2015. Those versions are no longer
receiving security updates.

Since 1.0.2 is not vulnerable, it seems unlikely that the bug would be in 1.0.1.

Apple hired Amazon's Fire TV chief to run its TV operations. He brings hardware and content experience and this may signal renewed focus on Apple TV.

5th gen ATV is currently being tested that may release as soon as this year, codename: J105. Supports 4k streaming and HDR sources say.

The ATV improvements are needed to stay competitive as 4K TVs become mainstream, but these alone probably will not make it a groundbreaking, iPhone-caliber product.

Apple engineers have repeatedly been forced to compromise on their vision of revolutionizing the living room sources say.

Apple's difficulties in this space are a combination of difficulties negotiating iTunes style efficient/cheap deals and innovative, fast competitors

Is there a meaningful response to this? This is a serious question - how can I tell the difference between an ICO scam, and one that isn't? Are there any examples of sustainable businesses arising from ICOs, or are all of them pump-and-dump schemes?

If I get defrauded by a company putting out an ICO, will anyone go to jail?

It doesn't matter what you have in your password manager. If you're not a US citizen, they can demand your facebook access. If you don't have it, can't unencrypt it, or just feel like telling them to fuck off doesn't matter. You have no legal right to enter the country except with their permission, and they may well tell the person who didn't put their facebook passwords in the password manager to get back on a plane and go home.

US citizens have it better in at least that one regard. They can't keep me from entering the country. They can confiscate my laptop, but if I don't want to give them facebook access, there's not much they can do to stop me. They can of course add me to some list that makes my life miserable every time I fly, but there's no constitutional provision that allows preventing a citizen from entering the country.

I am more trying to ask the question "what is the minimal modification to your current, depressing workflow that would have made your life easier: what is the magic artifact weapon you wish you had in your arsenal to cut through your pain points (or even just, what is your single largest obstacle in the middle of the battle, when boiled down to a single moment where a deux ex machina would have been useful)", as opposed to "would you be willing to opt into a totally different lifestyle of peace and love, it only requires that you disavow all of your current earthly possessions and relationships".
It's pretty simple. If you have a technical understanding of the topic and have no vested interest then you'll almost certainly be against overturning privacy rules regardless of politics. If you don't have a technical understanding then you'll just take your cue from your political tribe.

It doesn't necessarily matter that an arbitrary member of the republican party has sponsored this resolution, at this time, republican values among the masses are totally subject to Trump's opinions (which are not always in-line with republican orthodoxy), so Trump's position on this will ultimately dictate whether or not republicans constituents are ok with this.

I think that you are right that Rust, Swift, etc. have the hype now.

In my mind, this is a product of containerization. Java solved a lot of problems that we faced with deployment. Containers have made deployment even simpler, and suddenly the Java runtime is no longer as valuable as it once was. Furthermore, in a service-oriented architecture we don't really need too much interop with existing code.

I think that Clojure is a fantastic language, and I use it for my side projects as much as I can. But the promises made by Clojure dont sound as sexy as they did several years ago, hence the lack of hype.

Have there been any incidences of people who signed up for CBP's Global Entry program having trouble?

Many of the complaints here are a (justified) fear that privacy invasion occurs as a side-effect of a clumsy and poorly thought-out attempt to prevent something illegal[1]. So if I go ahead and sign up for the background check + interiew to let them see I don't have ill intentions, would this reduce the likelyhood of collateral privacy invasion when actually crossing the border?

I've been considering this for convenience reasons but am curious if it might help in this instance.

Note:

> - docker itself constantly ships with a lot of bugs. To this day (we are on docker 1.12.6), we constantly have problems with the docker daemon hanging or becoming unresponsive. I'm not sure if k8s can do much about this, but I feel like it should since we don't directly control docker.

To be fair, sometimes these problems are due to the kernel. Specifically, the infamous unregister_netdevice ref count issue (https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/5618) has been around for years. One of the comments from a kubernetes dev says they're bypassing the cause and don't see it in GKE production.

I have been in similar situations.

First of all, this is their job: they are there to try and get a good deal.
And so are you: in this respect, you speak the same language.

So this is a debate, or a haggle - not an intelligent chat, but an attempt to come out 'on top'.

And as such, your first question should be what the benefit is to you.
If all this recruiter can get you is what you make:
* you can say you make anything you want, because checking is at best legally dubious (but IANAL).
* there is little point in agreeing to someone representing you (exclusively or not) if all they can do is what you did.

In terms of exclusive representation, the answer can only be no: how can I look for a job otherwise?

Take charge: they gain from your demands, they are just trying to make their other customer (the real recruiter) happy.
They cannot go back to this entity and say "no, sounds like a good guy, I didn't negotiate", any more than you can afford to do that to yourself.

If they make you an offer you would accept, then consider taking it - as long as you would be satisfied, and think the move a good one, this is to your benefit (but don't undersell yourself).

We all get annoyed with the charade that goes around this - it is silly, and for the most part sort of degrading.
Third party recruiters aren't really the ones to blaim: many managers will at least consider this, and it is pretty much HR's job.

Learn that what you want is as right as what they do - the difference is you are accountable to you, and they have their own reasons.

Or, in other words: if they are an idiot, you have better things to do with your time than lamenting that fact.
