Various reasons, most common was that I would be recruited for one role, and within a short amount of time after starting the role would radically shift to become a role I was either unsuited for, or excruciatingly overqualified for. Don't recruit senior staff to run through change lists. Don't hire someone for one role and then radically change the role after they start working for you. One time I was hired to build a group fulfilling a function, simultaneously the budget for the department was zeroed out and all headcount dispersed to other departments.
That won't do. This is just a list of evidence-free assertions. I'm generally unimpressed with Wikipediocracy: they engage in exactly the kind of sensationalism that I'm so tired of.
Nope: you forget that immigrants (legal or otherwise) increase demand for goods in their local economy which creates demand for jobs to fulfill these goods. Research shows that this demand creates more jobs than the immigrants "consume".

Anybody has experience comparing Swarm, Kubernetes and Nomad?

I link to this only partially in jest - you really will need way more components than the plan says you'll need. Even microcontrollers; misaligning a header by one pin can result in things like putting the output of a 3C Li-Poly over a signal header...

> I think there's a reason you are getting downvoted.

Well, so are you, your comments are even so grey I can barely read them anymore (and I can’t downvote you).

Regarding the rest: Containers are far less niche than Consul is. For service discovery, the market isn’t nearly as monopolized as containers are. And containers are far more used than consul is – most places I’ve seen build their own service discovery systems, or hardcode a main node and then have services in containers register with that, etc.

While for containers, at the moment, there’s almost only docker, due to the ecosystem.
Sadly it's true. Some companies game the HN ranking algo, and employ shills to divert the discussion of their product. At least two companies (that are infamous for such shady tactics anyway) do it actively regularly on HN.

The first thing to prevent it, would be to change the HN ranking algo so that stories with more comments than votes are not automatically punished and forced many pages backwards from the frontpage. Add a report button to report users. Implement an admin interface to monitor certain users and ban them.
Ah! Good catch you're probably right ... it should probably be more clear on their site which ones they own a majority stake in and which ones they are a minority stakeholder in

I think comparing Go and Haskell are like comparing two incomparable different species -- a fish vs. a cat.

Why? Because Haskell is an interpreted language while Go is a compiled one. Interpreted language doesn't care much about performance as it isn't designed for that purpose, while in the other hand, compiled language does. As a result, interpreted language tends to be more 'elegant' and has lots of convenient features at the cost of performance. A concrete example is when you talk about preventing unacceptable data type in Haskell. They could make it so in Go, but the performance cost would be undesirable.

IIRC, I read that they designed Go to be practical instead of 'elegant', the reason is so that people can learn it easily, making it a good alternative for other compiled languages like C++ whose learning curve is hugeeee and ugly!

Comparing them because both can play youtube is every journalist's mistake and uneducated journalists created that mistake.

Hololens can not be used outside in a bright day light.

Hololens can be used any where. WiFI is not needed all time for Hololens. WiFi is needed only for the APPs which needs them as in some APPs in phones. You can connect the Hololens to wifi(hotspot) in any smartphone.

Factories and employers used to put factories in rural areas because of the cheap labor. Globalism has exploited the fact that many other countries don't have the labor laws or quality of life America does, and made it so rural America isn't an economically viable location to put jobs. I'd agree that a Bernie-style form of redistribution would be ideal, but in my opinion, it's important to be politically expedient. America's political system is rigged to the point where even if a redistribution program was passed, it would be removed within a decade. Given the fact that wealth and GDP has never been higher and that corporations are having no problem finding profits, we need to find a way to make rural America an economically feasible location to put jobs again, which means ending or slowing globalization.
Joshua Foer never explains how to forget and reuse. I've never understood it. I can still remember the shopping list I memorized while reading his book six years ago.
Looks like they are missing jemalloc in the benchmarks, which would be good to see.

I think the simplicity of a 1300 line allocator is very alluring. At that level it should avoid bloating small programs and is hopefully easy enough to understand if digging in to it.

Also it looks like it is split up into 3 files. consolidating it to a single header file C library would be very nice.

One oddity is the 16 bytes alignment. 64 bytes is the false sharing boundary in x64 so I'm surprised to see this in a concurrent allocator, but maybe I've misunderstood exactly what that means here.
That is not the definition that I perceived from the article. Maybe you are thinking of "Intellectually honest"? What I read was basically that Intellectually humble people are non-dogmatic; they will change their opinions and evaluation if and when new facts show their opinion as being incorrect; but they aren't restricted from forming an opinion in the absence of concrete facts, as you seem to be assuming.
I don't get it. Cannabis has always worsened my pain, not relieved it. I have chronic often severe back pain and cannabis has always emphasized it. I spent 4 hours thinking constantly about the pain until the drug wears off. I may be a minority, but it hardly inspires confidence in cannabis as a silver bullet.

Opiates however... they really work. They really make the pain go away. Which is why I stay the hell away from them. :-(
"For one, all shaders would need to be converted from HLSL to GLSL, which could become quite a big task depending on the amount of shaders, and testing of all changes."

For me it worked much better than opioids, but where I live it is illegal and not all variety works the same. It is a real shame and makes me feel sad, because it could be real life changer for me. I tried things like CBD oil that is legal, but it is not the same and doesn't really work.

I work in the IT and being high is out of question, sadly it is difficult in the black market to obtain variety that would work for pain without such side effects. It was helpful in the evening to go through the night without waking up from pain. Other medication like for example Amitriptyline, would make you feel tired the next day which is not the case with cannabis.

But I don't want to be a criminal.
Definitely. And while ZooKeeper is common, (and apparently Consul is now the hot new thing, I guess?), many places also build their own systems.

I wouldn’t call Consul "industry-dominating technology", as you’d do with ElasticSearch, Hadoop, Spark, etc.
I am in a similar place but - very gratefully - at an earlier point in my life. For a young person looking to funnel "tech profits" into real estate, what educational resources do you recommend (if any) for mastering this field?

Block chains are at best only secured as much as the hash power to generate them. If your spending 1M / year generateing a block chain it takes about that much hash power to break it.

>Intel claims the raw 3D XPoint technology is 1,000 times faster than the NAND flash commonly used in storage drives

I like haw they claim the "raw technology" is 1,000 times faster. Why? Because the shipping product isn't anything NEAR 1,000 times faster. They started off with that marketing claim months, and months, and months ago. The finished product appears to be not even double the performance (depending on workload).

ahh, should've kept reading:

>Although Intel touts 3D XPoint as orders of magnitude faster than NAND, it said the new storage drives it is shipping are five-to-eight times faster than NAND-based solid-state drives, because they are constrained by the conventional interface used to connect storage to computers.

So the PCIe interface is the constraint? please* you guys just over promised and under delivered. NVMe can certainly push more than 5x what you can get out of current NAND based drives.
Probably not. As someone who finds Go cringeworthy, I still find it extremely useful for certain types of programs.
I write far simpler Microservices in Go, and I don't feel stupid. It's pretty rough and boring tool, and using it is a chore, but if the tool fits the job well enough, you can get good craftsmanship done even with a hammer.

I think it's in the same position Java found itself in the early 2000s, another boring and unimaginative language that ended up being a workhorse.
It can be a meaningful statistical effect without being an absolute.

Maybe a portion of Americans are more inclined to move and the economy benefits from that.
Well, sometime you see a personality or a topic getting traction out of the blue. Any critic get quickly downvoted. No debate seems to take place.

I noticed that with Bill Gates. Before 2015, nothing different. In 2017, business as usual. But in 2016, Reddit, HN, Imgur suddenly had a surge of Gate support : success stories, interviews, praising using comments...

It's just a supposition of course, I have nothing to back it up.

But it makes sense to me that the PR experts have learned now that it can be very efficient to target online communities instead of spamming mass media. If they can influence them, then the PR will develop itself in an organic way, feel more honest and natural, and the community will spread the message outside of itself, giving the impression it's genuine.

The best communication is the one that doesn't look like it.

Controlling the big medias has been the challenge of the last century, but the intellectuals grew defiant of them. They rely more and more on cross referencing various sources and debating with communities made of their peers or people experts in one niche.

This is the logical next move. Although it seems harder to pull out, in the long run the cost/benefit ration seems better because it relies on a intimate feeling of trust we develop with the communities.

I know I do: I always read the comments before the articles on HN, because I trust the community to give me a better insight on the matter than the article itself. It's often the case. People are brilliant here, having a lot of accumulated knowledge, offering pieces of analysis, missing information, stories and counter points or even just summary that are the real added value of the site.

So if the community now hosts subtle communication experts, they will (and probably already have) influence my point of view.
As someone currently selling their internet company for several million... I could definitely appreciate a BH type buyer.
>That's a ridiculous blanket statement to make. Changing languages can incur a very high cost.

Yes, but you can always not even get started with Go (or whatever language you don't like) to begin with, so no change cost there.

Also, you can always change organizations, especially in today's "buyer's market" IT landscape. Better than working with something that you feel makes you miserable and non-productive.

And it's best to apply the principle of charity to what one responds to. Things are not always meant at their strictest interpretation. Compared to the "things you cannot change" stoicism was concerned with (like death, your past, some genetic misfortune, etc.), a programming language is nothing especially unchangeable -- which was my point.

That said, I absolutely love your libs and programs and use them all the time :-)
I'm not mrspeaker, but I have a similar stance regarding apps/logins/etc.

For me, it is the burden of having to create accounts for stuff I'll probably only use once, plus the mental burden of knowing that the website has my personal information and might leak it.

That, and the fact that having an account/app these days is synonymous with "oh, sure, send me all the spam you have!", via e-mail or mobile notifications.

If anything, password managers help me see which accounts I should be deleting.

>While professionals in other industries use professional tools, programmers use commodity hardware and software (the kind a homemaker would use to google a guacamole recipe). :(

i have to disagree with you here. most of the tools we use as programmers are so precise, adaptable and refined for the job that would make your average industry professional cry.

having those tools run on a guacamole-recipe machine is only a testimony to their power.

it's not just the software either; through services like AWS we have access to some of the most sophisticated and optimized computation and storage hardware on the planet.

I played a demo at the Game Developers Conference and it was fun. The thing I played was like Wing Commander with nicer graphics. I'm sure they are building lots of other things as well.

Whenever you make games you wish you had more resources. But at some level if you have too much, you become unbound by the practical trade-offs that are necessary to the art. The more you have to work with the more you need to promise, the less it makes sense to compromise.

I'm sure they will ship some games and I look forward to playing them. If they don't succeed they will move the art forward and train a lot of people who will do great things in their wake. More power to them.
Two reasons. First, functions may need to cross system boundaries while producing identical results. Second, it simplifies the implementation and reduces the potential defect surface in the function design.
Well, I'd say you can generalize that even further: Spreadsheets are just one symptom. A very inconvenient truth is that wherever you look, you always seem to find far too much critical infrastructures/workflows depending on hacks.

Sometimes, something gets publicized. Usually, it will get shrugged off and nothing much will happen about it. This makes one wonder when the whole house of cards will finally collapse...
Hmm, I really like your method of forming mental models. I think there are a lot of non-rational reasons why people like to hold on to certain mental models, even if they may not be accurate. This seems like a very rational way of testing mental models.

One of the important realizations as an adult for me was that there was nothing inherent about these mental models. They are, after all, paradigms and they can most certainly be changed. Well, now that I use that word, I think that realization came from reading Covey's 7 habits book.
The folks at the hospital were not sure at first. I'm neither young, nor old and overweight so there were different opinions before some specific blood test was done.

I think this one is really a horses-for-courses situation. For me, my current setup of two 2560x1440 monitors plus a 15" laptop is absolutely optimal - I can spread a load of stuff out everywhere, flip between a few spaces, and just generally be super-productive. I can still be productive working from just the laptop in a coffee shop, but I feel very constrained and find myself shuffling windows around to get stuff done (even just writing an email whilst referring to something else), and I generally don't like it and pine for my multiple monitors, especially if I'm doing any sort of development work.

Other people seem to be able to be just as productive from a single monitor or laptop, and tabbing between things is very much just part of their workflow - I remember at one gig we bought a couple of displays for one dev and he never even bothered plugging them in.

(I don't think anyone really "needs" five monitors, though.)

If Vulkan was "much lower-level" than DX12, then DX12 performance wouldn't even be in the same ballpark as Vulkan performance. Both Vulkan and DX12 were made more "lower-level" to gain that extra CPU and multi-core efficiency. I think Vulkan still beats DX12 in performance, if all else is equal, but I don't think the difference is huge.

DX12 is not DX11+1. It's a clone of AMD's Mantle, which was eventually given to Khronos, so they make it into Vulkan. The main advantage of Vulkan is that it runs almost everywhere. DirectX 12 doesn't.
