I've interviewed with many tech companies and the impact of personalized referrals has been completely anecdotal to me. I got my current job from a cold application.

With some companies it can take months before being noticed once you've applied online, but there's been a few cases where I could apply in just one click and get contacted by a recruiter the same day!

Admittedly, I assume my experience might have been different if I applied for jobs at early stage startups.

Ask HN: How is the staging/dev environment setup at your workplace?
Some background about me. I’ve been working on web APIs for the last 5 years. Initially it started with a monolith codebase, plugging in all sorts of APIs and packaging it all together. It was fairly easy to setup a staging cluster due to the simplicity involved in hosting the code and configurations.

Over the years I’ve realised the importance of services and have adopted that strategy over time. With multiple micro services comes the problem of discovery, config management and tooling around it so we created ansible playbooks with configurations for 3 main environments. However we were still hosting these services the old school way of running it directly on VMs. A few major problems arise due to this.

- There are 3 pre-defined environments. prod, stage and test. To create an environment, lets say for individual developers, a lot of manual work is involved.
- Infrastructure cost increases linearly with every new environment we spawn.
- Service discovery, config management becomes a mess.

A few months ago after reading about Kubernetes and how it solves most of these problems, I’ve created pods for most of our services (mostly using brute-force), this is just a start and I’ve made notes of all technical debts which have been accumulated during this process. The immediate consumers of this platform is the QA team. Long term plans also involve replaying production traffic on this cluster and to bench it out.

My questions:

- How is the staging cluster setup in your organisation?
- What are some of the learnings and the problems faced while building it?
- Is the thought process of having a working cluster for every developer make sense?
We haven't just lost status. We've lost leverage and loyalty too. Globalization has made the demand for lower class labor in the US drop to the point where the uneducated cannot do well anymore. In a balanced economy, there's a demand for everyone, yet in our outsourced service economy, only the highly educated do well. The opioid epidemic isn't here because of a loss of status.

Incorporating AWS Security Best Practices into Terraform Design
There's a number of indications that people are being cautious [1] [2] [3], but most people don't have the disposable income to allow substantial reductions in spending, given the low levels of salary increases ever since 2008. Basically ver since then low interest credit has been used as a substitute, and driven UK consumer debt levels to crazy heights.

I for one thinks that recession or not, a lot of people are setting themselves up for major pain once interest rates start moving up again and would be best served by doing what they can to cut down on spending.

At the moments large parts of the handling of the UK economy appears to be based on trying to push problems ahead of us in the hope that things will start looking rosier some day. Instead it's looking scarier and scarier.

Sorry but had to stop reading when the author assumed without question that the idea of a man taking a picture of himself on a private jet with women he presumedly bought and thinking objectifying and showing them off as auxiliary objects along with the other items he obtained through some form of wealth was "incongruous" with a quiet life of desperation. I know men like this and they are some of the most insecure and miserable men I know.

Alot of it has to do with the fact that when you view women as objects you can buy and auxiliary items to throw into a picture for decoration on top, it can be very difficult for men like this to actually engage with an intelligent woman or have a meaningful intimate relationship. If that doesn't sound like a life of quiet desperation, I really don't know what does.

I use an ORM with a popular web framework (Eloquent/Laravel) in the PHP space.

What I've always done is use the Eloquent AR approach for simple stuff where it fits well but actual complex querying is done with 'raw' PDO/SQL since frankly writing complex compound queries using the ORM is more wordy and less understandable.
I don't think it's that.

It may also be because I don't have one exact subject, but regardless, too early to tell just yet.

Actually, not only do I agree with your main point, but I think I know why it's a problem. (BTW, it's a problem for me too.) Most people today have the attention span of gnats. They crave talk in small, light, humor-based doses, like TV sitcom dialogue.

(And yes, I don't understand what most people want to hear either. Mostly I think they want others to compliment them, ask them to expound on themselves, and laugh at inane jokes.)

Your long-ish post implies that you prefer discourse (the antithesis of small talk). I suspect you'd like to pose an idea and then exchange ideas on it. While that was popular before the age of TV (much less internet), conversation on topics that resonate and last for 5+ minutes is unusual today, especially verbally, and it's likely that few strangers respond well to it. People like to tell / hear stories about other people, not discuss ideas.

Like you (I suspect) I suffer small talk badly, though in recent years I've learned to cut back on delivering 'large talk'... hopefully before peoples' eyes glaze over.

Why not make the new £1 coin Euro compatible? Despite Brexit and all, it would make so much sense to share the same dimensions for the pound and the Euro.

Old pound: diameter 22.5 mm, thickness 3.15 mm.

New pound: diameter 22.63 - 23.43mm [1], thickness 2.8 mm.

Euro: diameter 23.25 mm, thickness 2.33 mm.

So close and yet so different! Why??!?

Edit: Okay, I'm not sure why I saw "so much sense" in having the pound and the Euro the same size. I go to the UK often and hate having different coin sizes in my pockets, but obviously the pound and the Euro aren't the same value, so there's no real reason they should be of the same size...

[1] Since the new pound isn't round but dodecagonal, the diameter isn't constant; the smallest value is the diameter of the incircle and the other value, the diameter of the circumcircle.

Concepts and names are kind. To give and example, in a recent post of jeremykun.com blog about math and computing the author explains a concrete case of conjugate prior without jargon. But in fact, if you know what that post is about, that is the magic word aka math jargon conjugate prior, you will find that en.wikipedia gives you many insights and links about that concept. Wikipedia is getting better and better and now there are an enormous quantity of good resources to learn form. Also informative comments, like those here in HN, are making blogging more and more difficult because your post is going to be only a drop in an ocean of knowledge where parts are interrelated. No post should reject math jargon, since those words, like conjugate priors, are the key to looking for rich and complete information about it. To give another example, if someone try to explain monads he/she should not try to avoid the term monad since monad importance relies on is capacity to model many rich and differences sceneries ranging from security to multiprocessing.

Openai or distill aim is to explain or visualize ml ideas, but I think that more than displaying animations or pretty graphics, we need clear concepts and definitions, and to inform the reader that there is no royal road to understanding, you must pay the prize to understand the main concepts, that the only real road to understanding.

To not be categorical, perhaps there should be some posts about explaining in very shallow terms what's the meaning of something, but in the end many times you end up without a real meaning of the concept and you can look hundred of same
level posts and waste your time, because the concept required to be framed on its appropriate level.

It happens a lot around here (in New York, a few hours from the Canadian border) with Canadian coins.

Obviously it's a bit different here, as the values are roughly the same, but I can see how that would happen as an honest mistake.
I briefly worked in an arcade a few years back, so was changing a lot of £1 coins. 1 in 30 sounds about right, it was amazing how many fakes we'd see.

Like others have said, the lettering around the edge is always the biggest clue, but also the head and tails stampings will sometimes be off centre, and misaligned to each other.

The fake ones also make the 'wrong' noise when you drop them on a hard surface. It's hard to describe, but really noticeable if you compare it to a real coin.
Sorry, lapsed into gaming vernacular there. One credit complete, finishing the game on a single coin, i.e. because you don't lose you don't have to pay for any continues. So, for the game in question, one coin would get me all the way through to the World Cup final.

(Modern games got wise to people getting too good and some only offer a single play per coin, win or lose.)
Why? some basic licensing scheme might be required for some liability insurance and distribution channel deals.

Look at it this way, all software gets hacked within hours, if you delay the hacker by 30min is that worth investing your resources in?

If anything going the way of "begware" might be better since it takes little to no effort and provides just as much real world protection as virtually any other protection scheme.

If your customers are primarily businesses it doesn't matter, the liability of using counterfeit software is too large, if it's individuals then it's all about pricing and support.

It seems that you are aiming your product at a niche market which is good, but heck Siemens physical simulation software that doesn't have a large install base worldwide gets cracked, primarily because there are individuals and institutions in emerging markets that want to use it but cannot afford the 6 figures or so price tag.

But in all honesty a niche software aimed at a locked (racquet sports) western market with probably sufficiently high income isn't too much at risk of being pirated that much as long as the pricing isn't prohibitive.

Your efforts are better spent on pricing it right, marketing it well and having easy distribution channels to get the software distributed.
You can sell digital software on Amazon these days (they email you the license key), you have the Windows App store, worry less about pirates and more about getting an easy way for people to get your software.

In all honesty a larger threat to your sales will be open source projects (if they exist) and existing software (again if it exists) and inaccessibility.

While I don't like to generalize too much I'm not sure how much overlap there is between racquet sports coaches, pros and semi-pros and TorrentLeech's user base.

Rule of thumb if the first thing someone googles after hearing about your software is "yoursoftware + crack" its going to be because you do not offer a proper evaluation version, or getting a legitimate copy is too difficult or price prohibitive for your targeted market.

Erm, I don't think vending machine owners would like that. What would be the advantage anyway? £1 isn't €1.
