This is simply untrue unless you're lying as a freelancer or working with a big enough wordpress installation that 'hacking on wordpress' would hardly be the correct description.

(read: most hosting companies effectively 'hack on wordpress' for you for free from most companies as a 'support option')

Also fyi, you can generally charge "that much"(as much as the US) elsewhere assuming you're proficient in english.
Oh shit yeah - I'd never have thought that a startup would need stuff like growth marketing and 'relentless focus on execution' to succeed.

TL;DR: Startups need marketing to work.
I'm seeing a "500 This website is unavailable at the moment" error page served by HostGator. Is this an article that happens to be erroring, or a headline editorializing about the dangers of errors?
Yes, actually, if that's who you are selling your product to it is exactly your job to be doing that.

The resident in question was a woman.

Yeah, meant to correct that but got distracted.

But the developer is also aware of the problem and has a vested interest in ensuring that the condos they sell don't fall into the ground; I'm pretty sure that they won't sell condos that will fall into the ground.

Like the developer of that tower downtown that's been slowly sinking since the day it was built, you mean?

And seriously -- are you really saying we should take the recommendation of the condo developer of that of the USGS on matters like these?

BTW "fall into the ground" is hyperbole of course. I think you're aware of the fact that all kinds of nasty things can happen to you if you're in caught in a large building during a liquefaction event, even if the whole building doesn't outright "fall into the ground." Either way, there just wasn't anything out of line with the observation that resident brought up.
I recognize that Docker and k8s are distinct, and I think rkt looks much smarter than Docker. Now that k8s has released a stable version capable of running non-Docker containers (as of last week), it's fair to separate them.

However, I'm still struggling to see the real value proposition offered by either.

The story on Docker or Docker-style containers without orchestration is that they're supposed to be easy to ensure you get an identical environment everywhere and more fully utilize your hardware resources. While that does seem to happen if you incorporate docker-compose or some other metadata about what ports to map and volumes to mount, the pains associated with using Docker have far, far outweighed the one-time cost of configuring a new application or getting a new build to work for me. And we already had pretty good tooling for this pre-container, with things like Ansible. It wasn't exact, but it was much more comfortable.
70% of SF's homeless had homes in SF before they were on the street, and there's good evidence that high housing prices correlate with high homelessness. Decreasing home prices will probably help with homelessness.
Saastr: What I've learned about content marketing
I'm not sure what "concurrency tools" are. Profiling tools that work on C++ should work on Rust just as well; "perf" and "sysprof" do, at least. "static analyzers" are far less important in Rust since the compiler prevents most of the bugs that C++ static and dynamic checkers look for. Having said that, ASAN and TSAN do work with Rust!

As for "complicated to learn" ... Rust does have a significant learning curve. However, so does C++, and the C++ learning curve never ends:

I've been programming in C++ for over 20 years, plus I have a PhD in programming language tech, yet there are many dark corners of the language I don't understand, and more keep getting added all the time. "Complexity budget" is not a phrase you hear in the C++ community.

I suspect many C++ fans aren't bothered about this because their knowledge has grown with the language. I pity someone trying to "learn C++" in its full glory.
They really are terrifying. It's hard to say exactly why this is so, but I think it has something to do with how they can occur (some protein randomly misfolding) and that they aren't really "alive", in the same sense that viruses and bacteria are.

You can kinda forgive viruses and bacteria: they're just looking to survive and multiply, just like us. In some cases they monopolise so much of their hosts' resources, or some really critical resource, that the host dies. But Prions, uhhhhh.... They're just kinda these unnatural things that go wrong and then kill you in pretty awful ways. Though not because they necessarily need to out-compete you for resources. Indeed, they don't seem to have any innate preference for existing or not existing, or thriving or not thriving. But they kill you anyway....

Also, just to scare you a little more, one of the more popular (perhaps dominant) theories about Alzheimer-family diseases is that they are initially caused by Prions, that migrate into your brain and start forming amaloid plaques, and then it's all down-hill from there.

On the upside, I vaguely remember reading some research on a 'almost ready' drug, initially developed to lessen the negative side-effects of chemo-therapy, that might be effective at stopping the progression of these plaques as they spread throughout the brain. If it actually works, we might have a treatment of AD-family diseases on the market in a year or so (the chemo folks have already gone through the lengthy human safety testing part of the exercise).

Not a cure, but at least it might halt or significantly slow progression of symptoms.
Whether a development would be profitable has little to do with whether it would be politically viable in San Francisco. In particular areas near transit aren't necessarily zoned for high density. Follow Kim-mai Cutler or go to a SF Yimby newbie meeting to learn more.
The worry is probably that most of their userbase would also disappear overnight...
Pensions are inherently intergenerational agreements.

I'm not sure why Boomers would expect their children, who are saddled with unprecedented amounts of educational debt and who are priced out of the housing market, to be able to meet that obligation, let alone feel any duty to do so.
Not a physicist but I thought the Planck length specifically denies infinitesimality? And one of the proposed solutions to the black hole information problem is that due to local relativistic effects, they never actually reach singularity in finite time.

This article claims that Levashov was charged with operating a botnet and related offenses, not with election-related hacking:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14084134

"On Monday, US officials also unsealed a criminal complaint against Levashov that charged him with wire fraud and unauthorized interception of electronic communications. Levashov allegedly operated Kelihos since 2010. According to authorities, he used the botnet to further a spamming operation that distributed hundreds of millions of e-mails per year pushing counterfeit drugs, work-at-home, and pump-and-dump stock scams. Prosecutors also alleged the defendant used Kelihos to install malware on end-user computers and to harvest passwords to online and financial accounts belonging to thousands of Americans."
Working from home. Last month I tracked 270h on my Mac workstation: 190 hours (70%) were productive, 24h (9%) neutral tools, and 56h (21%) distracting (mostly chats with friends).

I also spend 1-2 hours a day on my "leisure laptop" (for example reading HN from there but also some useful RSS feeds). So it feels like 65% would be a correct productivity score.

Tracked with https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/ of course, most of the productive time was spent on its development and marketing. :]
The distinction between crimes and torts really has no impact on the analogy...
Oddly enough, I had gotten these drives originally a couple years ago to go in a 1U Supermicro "twin" machine, with 8 drive bays split across two physical machines in a 1U chassis. Then the cheap hosting for that fell through and they just sat in a box. Came across them while cleaning the garage and put them into service.

I think these are the Toshiba drives. Seems like 2TB is still as big as you can go on laptop form factor spinning drives.
A few concepts such as having redundant CPUs introduced a lot of technical challenges without clear pay outs. The previous inspiration was the comparably high cost of computing equipment. Redundancy techniques such as those inspired by the block chain, seem to be much hipper now days.
AFAIK, OS X doesn't have any chipset drivers for non-intel CPUs.

I got sick of feeling like I am wasting my life away at work not working, so I submitted my resignation. Time to get on doing my own things so I don't feel I'm wasting my little yet precious time alive. After a few meetings, I am not quitting yet. I have been re-classed from salary to hourly and I will be able to have fewer and more flexible "hours" so that I can get out and do my own thing and side projects (which require business hour meetings/calls/etc).

I'm curious what your experience in Australia has been for you to think that. In my experience that's not what I'd call a lot in Australia, most commonly your average basic IT contactor will charge $80-120/hr, let alone any sort of speciality.
For some value of "easily", these [0] [1] would suffice, in my opinion.

Explaining something easily must also assume that both the instructor and the student have a level of mastery over a common means of communication and relevant background in the prerequisite subject matter, however.

Platinum, along with other metals like iridium, are valuable for industrial purposes. Their price would fall if supply increased, but it wouldn't collapse. Demand would also increase as the price falls and it would probably still be valuable when it levels out.
Technically perhaps but they never do anything if it's done by the police.
If anything a building sinking into the ground is more signal that developers need to take this seriously. It's unfortunate, but people in the building have already filed a lawsuit and it's not clear that they are not going to get a good resolution from this.

The resident was using that argument to say "we shouldn't build," I think it should be at best a warning to the developer to build carefully. If the developer builds and people want to buy there it's not clear where the market failure is.

It also ignores that the city wants to get a deal done and either housing or offices will get built. As far as liquefaction matters it needs to be an argument for offices or for housing. The land isn't going to sit empty.
Great Conference. I'm looking forward to using ng larkin :)

By "dict" I meant the data we are compressing: these are basically dictionaries for "English to X" translation.

We have 50,000 lines of RPG code we need to replace over the next decade. Since the last RPG dev at our company is over 65 years old and can retire at any moment.

It's going to be funny when we replace it with Java and our business guys ask why it runs much slower.

Well, h.265 encoding alone in software is painfully slow, but better results than using nvenc... I use nvenc, because it goes 5-6x as fast. Video editing is bound to be worse considering the number of layers of audio/video, framing, transitions... with 4K being at least 4x the overhead of 1080p, and needing two screens to do it effectively (full-screen preview on one display), that's a LOT of overhead for a system.

4K is what's pushing GPUs to their limit today, let alone video editing's demands.

A lot of COBOL stuff is cut and paste crap, or just updating basic fields. There are people paying as little as $35/hr for these types of people, although most of the people at that rate are barely qualified to turn the computer on.
Indeed - and although COBOL is the topic here, the issues are pretty similar with J2EE. There are a lot of legacy J2EE applications in banking and finance. Let alone the skills and inside knowledge you need to know the various containers and modern(ish) glue (WebSphere is the prime example).

Underlying this is that banks used to see IT/Technology as competitive advantage. A lot of tech came directly out of the banks. IT became a cost-center in the 90s and it was never the same.

The irony is that this tech stack was pretty good and fit-for-purpose for a lot of banking workloads. Plus it kept working... so that just lessened the investment required.
One of the main beautiful things about Golang is that the community prefers libraries to frameworks. There may well be a MVC framework developed in/for Golang, but it probably won't be used that much by Golang devs.

A framework gets you going real quick, but at some point, probably 3-6 months in, you'll need to do something that the framework doesn't like. At that point the framework suddenly becomes a hindrance rather than a help. You spend more and more time fighting the framework and writing more and more code that lives outside the framework. After a few years you've wasted way more time than you ever gained from using the framework.

Libraries are built to provide capabilities to your code. Until you've experienced a good standard library (like Golang's) then this makes no sense. It's common for newbies to Golang (like I did) to try and create supersets of the libraries and create their own framework. But every new project comes back to the simplicity and ease of using the standard library.

I like the OP's approach of having repos full of useful middleware and handlers. This makes much, much more sense for Golang development than a Django clone.

Try it, you'll like it.

What is the average net worth of Stanford entrepreneurs?
I wish Apple would just switch to an itx/matx form factor for "Mac" and "Mac Pro" models... then include a $300 "core" charge for replacement boards... that would allow someone to get a "replacement" mb, and run their own diy system with genuine MB, and cover Apple's dev costs for the OS/updates. Just hammer down on people selling diy macs...

Apple can still sell their own, with beautiful cases, and make even more.. but keep the core very close to stock intel x86 beyond apple's custom firmware. That would keep pro users and diy happy... those willing to pay for apple-care get a current option, and Apple gets "pros" and developers creating content for iThings...
Using LOC DNS records for mailing address

For those interested in constructive and intuitionistic approaches here Dummett's [0] Elements of Intuitionism is an extremely good read.

Intuitionism is a form of a constructive foundation for mathematics which (a) notes that any attempt to deny the uncountability of reals leads to difficulties and (b) any attempt to internally define them violates constructivity.

The resolution proposed is to posit the existence of "free choice sequences". These are essentially "unpredictable" sequences of potentially infinite binary choices. As there is no a priori reason to believe that they can be predicted they are able to be much larger than what is computable and thus can be used to give a characterization of the reals. Atop this you build a constructive understanding of free choice reals which behaves very nicely (at least foundationally... it points out all kinds of weirdnesses about what we assume classically to be the structure of reals).

What's very nice about this solution is that it sidesteps the difficulty. Free choice is a weaker thing to ask for than finite/constructive reals, but finite/constructive reals could be transparently encoded into free choice sequences and all the math would just work.
