Ask HN: How to make extra income as a Sr. DevOps Engineer
I work full time but need extra money to support my family and have many
hours open during the nights and weekend to do it. I have 20 years experience as a Systems Engineer/Admin/Devops.
How can I make extra money?
I tried searching for jobs during 2/3rd shift but they are very hard to find.
Any creative ideas? I have experience with DC/OS, Kubernetes, AWS, Jenkins, Chef-Ansible-Puppet-Salt, ELK stack, Python, basically all the tools in the devops toolchain.
I have a few domain names and landing pages ready to start freelancing if thats an option, but no experience with marketing myself.
Strange code running at startup [SE]
But that bug doesn't have to be in Windows. If you can get privilege escalation in a Windows app that the user trusts (hello, Office), then you're in. ReactOS is based on Windows circa XP and doesn't implement UAC, so that vulnerability is wide open.
What if you hide very small images of bad things inside high res photos, say, in the reflections in eyes. What about in frames of movies? What if you use Steganography to hide bad things in friendly, popular images, then publish the key? What if you just spam an evil image to everyone's email? Hide it in frames of a gif?

By this logic, we must all stop all communications, for communicating can be evil. Good bye first amendment.

There is nothing bad in being a large or the largest exporter. Germany exported a lot and imported a lot.
But recently this had led to the absurd situation, that Germany exports both, goods AND capital:

Is there a reason to think this would be better than just computing the pagerank of every scientific paper based on the citation networks? (Optionally, use signals to predict future pagerank of recently published papers.)

I would expect that using the citation data from published papers would be more valuable, in the same way that revealed preferences are more valuable than polls due to the cost.

While Google Scholar implicitly uses pagerank to rank academic papers, I've put together a tool that explicitly shows you pagerank for each paper, available at [1]. Currently, this contains only pubmed, which means that it does leave out a significant set of physics/computer science papers, and also doesn't yet capture preprint archives.

> So we're asking Oklahoma teachers to have the same standard of living as Italy teachers.

There's the problem. Why would an Oklahoma teacher accept the same standard of living as an Italian teacher when there are plenty of other Oklahoma jobs available?

Adjusting for PPP parity the gross median household income in Italy is about 46% of US median income [1]. Oklahoma median household income is about 85% of US median income [2].

Colloquial use of theory usually means concept or hypothesis.
May have something to do with taxes and maybe more effective use of public funds? Germans are taxed at higher rates (and more importantly, lower thresholds for higher rates) compared to the US or UK, so the distribution seems more even, allowing a larger middle class.
The comment you are replying to contains a link that explains, in great detail, the Digg fiasco.
"how do you invest in that capability?"

It's not clear to me that you can. How would you have invested in air travel in the time of the Wright brothers? None of the companies that eventually came to dominate existed then.
I can see how your observations about these people are different manifestations of the problem I saw in my employee. My impression was that he was drunk on the whole "cool startup" attitude that's so rife these days. Things like a bean bag in the office were so important to him and he wasn't willing to deliver any work.
To discuss how a paper is wrong you have to first cite the paper. The need to discuss bad papers can arise for a number of reasons. So some papers cite rank != quality.
Most people already have no clue what they have on their machines. And no clue how to find stuff. I mean, consider how images can be embedded in other images through steganography.

Muscle memory is not using some brain power as the GP says. Once you are used to it (2-3 weeks), it feels very natural, I think "Oh I need to change the end of this sentence" and my fingers will take me there. It really is an extension of touch typing.
Haha - thanks, that's kind, but whilst it might sound bad ass what it actually means is I spend as much time performance optimising game loading so people don't click off the page before they've had a chance to play, or doing SEO [1], as I do writing the games (which is by far the most fun bit).

No disclaimer needed either: I really enjoyed the Bear Essentials post, so thanks for sharing. I found the comment about pixel perfect movement particularly resonated with me. I find most web games, and particularly Flash games (I used HTML/JS/CSS), fail quite badly in this sense, with characters/sprites often feeling quite detached from the backgrounds they're running or flying over.

[1] If I didn't do these rather soul sucking tasks nobody would ever play the games, so whilst they're kind of a drag, this does keep my motivation to do them reasonably high.
There is also a surprising lack of mention about trade unions, work councils and worker voting rights in companies.
The Death of Object-Oriented Programming [pdf]
The owner could have gifted a small interest in the company
to each daughter, grand-daughter, and perhaps their spouses
in each year of those decades, letting subsequent value growth
and inflation accrue to the surviving family members.

And also, perhaps transformed the company ownership structure
into a limited partnership as well, claiming a lower market value
for the shares owned by limited partners.

tl;dr: First rule of US estate planning: Die broke.
I spend a lot of time thinking about myself, maybe two thirds of my time, and I'll spend more than two thirds of my review of John Lahr's review like he spent his review, talking about myself instead of Bruce Springsteen.

It's unclear from the readme which browser features are supported. Can I use this to run integration tests that depend on the web audio API? On fetch? On web crypto?
There were a lot of challenges, I had things I wanted to do in the city at particular times and could not get to them. Ended up doing everything at Microsoft, kind of like a continuation of living on campus in college. Not a toxic culture, just not for me.

Regarding the ninety minute commute it was frequently Thursdays to where I lived in Belltown that would consistently be 70-90 minutes. I ended up staying late at work to avoid it, which didn't help my enjoyment much.
Steal. It's your only way out for convicts in this system. You too don't need to be compassionate and can freely ignore anyone's desire for safety, as you have been labeled as not deserving of either.
I had that issue with the boot process hanging 3/4 through on 0.4.3, but it (so far) seems to be fixed for me on 0.4.5. I'm using Parallels Desktop, with a 32-bit VM set to act as Windows 2000.
Not kidding at all, I have a very similar level of freedom, and I also live in a borderless world. I can fly wherever I want and live wherever I want, and I don't need a personal jet to do that. I also don't really care about going through customs. One time I flew business class and went through a priority queue, which was pretty nice, but ultimately it was not a life-changing experience.

I'm not convinced that I need a private chef. I probably wouldn't hire one, even if I could afford it. My wife and I both enjoy cooking, and we enjoy eating at restaurants (I guess you would call them "public chefs".) I haven't noticed a void in my life that would be filled by a private chef.

> They could effectively pay to enact laws directly benefiting them

I think you're mainly talking about the power they have to change the world. I would handle this responsibility if it were given to me, but I'm not seeking it out. It would feel more like you have the whole world on your shoulders, which would come with a ton of stress. I'd do the same if I were in their shoes, but it's a very difficult job. Very similar to being the President, in terms of influence and power.

I would also like to be there one day. I only need around $4 million for that. If you invest $4 million in index funds, you can safely withdraw $120k per year, forever. That's enough for me, but I wouldn't live in San Francisco.
They seem to be targeting NT 5.2, which is indeed Windows XP, so it makes sense to also target that graphical experience in a sense.

I used react for one year, for the web, but not react native. I'll be honest: once I got fluent in react, I still didn't enjoy it.

Too much scrolling around, looking up the doc for every simple things, hard to integrate with legacy Python/Ruby/PHP frameworks, etc.

I went from jQuery then Angular 1, and was much less productive in React.

Also, introducing react to a new member in the team has always been dreadful.

All in all, I never benefited from the concurrency part. The performance yes, and the structure for the SPA. But the whole immutable constraint didn't pay off for me in the end, so I felt my stack was overkill.
Although I'd agree that the Volkswagen Group as a whole may not be the same as it is today if it were under different management...

...it remains that passing up a robust, reliable, and simple car design -- and the factories/tooling to produce it -- for an acquisition cost of zero is still a blunder.
Sure, but I appreciate the facade.
Okay, there is no formal concept or hypothesis of trickle down economics. (However, most PhD economists use the phrase "economic theory," but you may have some insight into this that they have not yet been exposed to.)
My comment was not directed at you specifically.

BTW, that piece was written by George Will. I'm personally not a big fan, but he is a Pulitzer Prize winner. If you think that one of his articles is "of such low quality" that it deserves to be flagged you might want to consider the possibility that the problem is with your reading rather than his writing.
I haven't, although I watched the video about it just the other day.

The original Outrun port for the Amiga has to be one of the most disappointing conversions for the platform: truly dreadful, especially when you compare it to games like Lotus and Lotus II, which really show how good arcade-style racers on the Amiga could be.

Cannonball, on the other hand, looks absolutely fantastic. It's this sort of thing that makes me want to pick up some hardware and start tinkering with it again - I got rid of my A500 back in 2002 and have regretted doing so many times since.
5.2 is windows 2003 / xp-64-bit. XP is 5.1. 64-bit XP was based off of Windows 2003 code base. All are out of support at this point. Doesnt seem like MP or 64-bit is supported per https://reactos.org/wiki/AMD64.
Well, there are people in jail whose Freenet nodes handled child porn. I suspect that some of them are innocent. But they couldn't afford to hire expert witnesses, to counter bogus testimony about attribution in Freenet. So they settled. So much for plausible deniability.
Basically still correct it's just taken longer to get scaling solutions like SegWit/Lightning into production. One the Lightning Network is up you just pay one BTC transaction to establish a channel with the network, then all subsequent LN transactions are cheap and instantaneous.
The part about what iOS does isn't quite correct—apps pass a high-level layer tree to the render server with properties like corner radius and shadow offset, not a list of low-level drawing commands involving textures and shaders. That lets you animate these high-level properties without sending over new commands. I think the basic history is right, though!
The "Fully Fluent API" seems to be a style adopted as a workaround for the clumsiness of the Java language, as far as I can tell. In Kotlin it's not necessary and just looks a bit weird.

This example in Java:

Javalin app = Javalin.create()
.port(7000)

app.start()
.awaitInitialization()
.stop()
.awaitTermination();

could be written more naturally in Kotlin:

val app = Javalin.create().apply {
port = 7000
}

with(app) {
start()
awaitInitialization()
stop()
awaitTermination()
}

...except that Javalin doesn't seem to implement the normal convention for getters and setters, so the apply block wouldn't work.
Maybe you were thinking of the E36? :D

Many say the 1984-1994 Mercedes E-klasse was the last car that was built to last. Afterwards, they switched to cheaper parts, less overengineering, to keep up with competitors and profit more from planned obsolescence.

Personally, I've seen many of them break down, and they rust quite badly if not maintained :)
I am going to assume that this was a question you asked out of true curiosity and not a rhetorical one.

Technology has commoditized a lot of things historically. Just because you don't see something happening, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.

Also did you read the comment you just replied to? Because that's exactly the answer to your question. Currently the language translation has not been commoditized because we still have the last mile problem. There is always certain threshold technology needs to cross before it becomes widely spread. Currently using those dictionaries and google translate are still too slow and you can't interact in realtime that way. Once you can directly hook circuits into your brain (or something with a similar effect), this this will change.
This piece is definitely awful and lazy. I know who he is, that's why I wrote that the most interesting thing about this was that he'd put his name on it.

> Where Cellnet missed it, Orange got much closer to the actual capability: the future is wire-free. Why is your phone tied to the wall of a particular room with a piece of wire? Cellnet was guessing about applications while Orange talked about the breakthrough.

This part caused problems for me. For one, Cellnet survived. So we have evidence that whatever they did wasn't the wrong choice. Second, a sales pitch or value proposition is not a technology prediction, it's an attempt to get money in trade for a product. It's not just right to talk about specific applications, but fairly important to demonstrate the practical utility to a buyer. This has been studied widely and is falsifiable. Plus, anecdotally, I've never bought something because a sales guy said "but it's a breakthrough!", I pay for things when I see clear value to me.
A 100ms delay is extremely noticeable, especially for faster paced games. That's 6 frames at 60FPS, or 3 at 30. While you may get away with that on 4X games, no FPS will ever get to more than 50ms input lag, because it seriously becomes unpleasant to play.

Here's the basic problem with such a scheme:

If you do that, you kill 99%+ of the value of those companies. Those profits pay first and foremost for the pension of mostly ordinary Americans. Worse: those people who's pensions your proposal would take away worked for those pensions for decades. Because of excessive government debt issuance, these pensions are already somewhere between in trouble and bankrupt, with a massive pension bankruptcy wave coming in 2018 unless radical changes are implemented. This action would make them fail tomorrow.

So what will you do about that ? Answer: nobody will risk touching that, and they're right.

The issue is that money represents economic incentive. What it boils down to, massively simplified, is this. In order to have a minimal basic income (say $200 per month), you need to create 60 billion in economic value, and that means first and foremost more work by ordinary people. Given average hours pay ($23/hour) that comes to 13 million extra days that need to be worked, by normal people, or about 20% more than we're currently working.

So something so trivial as $200/month, extremely inaccurately calculated, would mean no more saturdays. Getting out of bed at 9am and working till 5pm like mondays to fridays. That's, simplified, what a trivial and completely insufficient basic income would take.

Oh and before you say "let's eliminate other programs", please keep in mind that that, of course, represents a massive wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

I might be misunderstanding what you're saying here, but from what you've said it sounds like the game would run at ~30fps, whereas many games are designed ideally to run at 60fps, which would allow only ~16ms to take input and simulate?
It doesn't have to be a lot of money or customers. Even a small portion shows they can think about the bigger picture and ship something user/customers want to use.

You are right, a programmer who can make $80k+ building their own stuff is most likely not even looking for a job.
My main point is that a $700 smartphone is literally the best smartphone that money can buy, and there has never been a better smartphone in all of human history. I like knowing that the device in my pocket is the absolute pinnacle of mobile devices, and that no-one in the entire world has (or has ever had) a better smartphone.

Another point is about the utility of money. Once you reach a certain level of financial independence, your life is only marginally improved by private jets and private chefs. For instance, if you had $4 million in index funds, you could quit your job and live on an annual salary of $120k. You could hire cleaners, drive a very nice car, eat very good food, have great health and dental insurance, and go on vacation... permanently.

I think more software engineers should be thinking about financial independence, because it's so achievable in this industry.

Sometimes space and military programs will produce technology that later becomes commercially very useful, eg, Raytheon and the microwave oven (First introduced Radarange 1946 - and Amana made a more generally consumable model in 1967). The whole "dig holes and fill them up again" was wonderfully covered in Orwell,1984.. The noble version of this would be Space Exploration, search for unlimited energy (eg, fusion), or cancer cures. The military industrial complex speech given by a sitting US president, Eisenhower, here - http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/eisenhower001.asp - more or less predicted that the 1984-style approach to perpetual state of war will be taken unless big changes were made.

"War, it will be seen, accomplishes the necessary destruction, but accomplishes it in a psychologically acceptable way. In principle it would be quite simple to waste the surplus labour of the world by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even by producing vast quantities of goods and then setting fire to them. But this would provide only the economic and not the emotional basis for a hierarchical society. What is concerned here is not the morale of masses, whose attitude is unimportant so long as they are kept steadily at work, but the morale of the Party itself. Even the humblest Party member is expected to be competent, industrious, and even intelligent within narrow limits, but it is also necessary that he should be a credulous and ignorant fanatic whose prevailing moods are fear, hatred, adulation, and orgiastic triumph. In other words it is necessary that he should have the mentality appropriate to a state of war. It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going well or badly. All that is needed is that a state of war should exist. The splitting of the intelligence which the Party requires of its members, and which is more easily achieved in an atmosphere of war, is now almost universal, but the higher up the ranks one goes, the more marked it becomes. It is precisely in the Inner Party that war hysteria and hatred of the enemy are strongest. In his capacity as an administrator, it is often necessary for a member of the Inner Party to know that this or that item of war news is untruthful, and he may often be aware that the entire war is spurious and is either not happening or is being waged for purposes quite other than the declared ones: but such knowledge is easily neutralized by the technique of doublethink. Meanwhile no Inner Party member wavers for an instant in his mystical belief that the war is real, and that it is bound to end victoriously, with Oceania the undisputed master of the entire world. "
I'm not saying the US shouldn't invest at all in maintaining its superior military status. I'm mainly saying that a lot of the money is being wasted (like say for buying more tanks, or just to keep certain military jobs, in the same way it's trying to keep coal jobs), and it could've been invested elsewhere with at least as many results (for the economy).

I would also say that a lot of the military budget is being wasted on unnecessary wars, so that money doesn't really go into "strengthening US military" either. It's being thrown away in the Middle East.
