Ask HN: Application configuration storage tools?
Developers seem to commonly store configuration variables (API keys for third party, URLs to internal services, secrets, etc.) in source code or a .env file.

This leads to the following issues:

1. The same config gets duplicated across the codebase.
2. Config values cannot be quickly changed as needed.
3. If pushed to GitHub, improper user permissions could lead to unintentional access to the config.

Hashicorp Vault seems promising but looks to be pretty heavyweight. Is there a lighter weight alternative, either hosted or on-prem?
This bill, if it becomes law, moves the gerrymandering from one commission to another. It doesn't stop gerrymandering. How does the new commission get formed? How long do people serve on it? Who appoints them? Do they get elected?

I'm not saying the system doesn't need to be reformed. It does. However, trusting people who say things that sound good, without evidence, is just following more politicians.

>They're getting their devices updated.

I was looking for a technical answer instead of the same old rhetoric. Adding this additional functionality to Google Play Services and to the Support Library would make it available to all devices using GMS.

>Only a small portion of Android phones are "flagship"

This is a ridiculous statement. Do you have any numbers to back up your claim that only a small portion of Android phones are flagships? Any phone with an SnapDragon 8 series SoC, Exynos 8 series SoC, Kirin 9 series SoC would easily be able to handle this.
Apple ARKit doesn't do SLAM, but Visual Inertial Odometry, which is one of the (important) components of a SLAM system, whereas Tango does the full SLAM pipeline with loop closure and relocalisation

This is actually not as cut and dry as it sounds. Generally speaking the difference between VO and SLAM is how it handles accumulated errors to do LC/relocalization. Almost by default a robust VO system using some kind of sensor fusion does a form of relocalization but rarely loop closure.

I say this because I feel like it undercuts Apple's effort by stating it's a purely VO approach and I don't want people to get the impression that you can't do round trip SLAM without active depth (IR etc...).

Storm is very much alive. Many of its users are simply running it reliably in production now. At my company, we are well past our trillionth production tuple running through Storm.

Also note that unlike Spark, Storm is a pure open source project that does not have a major commercial entity marketing its use cases. Hortonworks has put a little marketing effort behind it, but otherwise, it's just a mature & active Apache infrastructure project. Storm 2.0 is coming out soon and features a slew of performance- and reliability-improving enhancements.

But as for marketing buzz, Google has commercial reasons for you to use Beam and Dataflow, for example. And likewise Databricks for Spark.

It's probably a good idea to pick production large-scale data infrastructure on a metric other than recency of marketing buzz.

> A large number of economists [...] all across the ideological spectrum [...] did see it happening.

In a strange way, that's almost step down: A strong correlation between what economists say and what happens -- even a negative correlation -- suggests that theory is somehow catching up to reality.

In contrast, a weaker correlation -- even if positive -- implies that there's still a lot more problems to shake out.
"Conservative" is a somewhat meaningless term in this context. On one hand, it's conservative to continue with business as usual and ignore potential problems until they become unavoidable. However, it would also be conservative to keep CO2 levels in the atmosphere at their current levels, instead of running a radical climate experiment in which they are pumped up to ever higher levels.

Thanks for engaging honestly with that forward comment.

Yes, I have. No, I have not sold to engineers.

To add some perspective: Airbrake/Sentry error monitoring; NewRelic monitoring; Pingdom uptime monitoring; Log management Ala Papertrail; Github/Assembla version control; are things that I reach for in the initial set up.

I think engineers are/(should be) unwilling to give up on control when it comes to their core business areas. This is why I prefer open source (or at the very least known stable and long lasting) solutions for the data layer and core infrastructure pieces. Or at least compatible managed services; no introducing new layers of abstractions. Also they’re unwilling to pay for things like editors, from ideology and from the market today.

I’ve seen the build it ourselves approach, primarily put forward by engineers who do not appreciate the costs of building and maintaining things, and from stakeholders with a vested interest in selling particular services. I would call both a circle jerk kind of situation.

To reiterate, in my mind, great engineers would quickly outsource all non core competencies so that they can focus on the more important things. It costs me more to build something, both in terms of time and opportunity, than to have an expert do it for me. Herein lies understanding the problem that you’re trying to solve.

To me, intelligent engineering is, cliched as it is, about understanding the tradeoffs, and building the bare minimum that delivers. Keeping in mind that the tradeoff could be about investing in future directions. One example that comes to mind was a data pipeline built using ifttt, dropbox, s3, and spreadsheets for data analysis: brutally simple, probably fragile, but brilliantly done for what was needed in that situation.

Engineering is not writing code, engineering is solving problems.

From a different angle, from a limited vantage point, I’ve seen companies that sell to engineers struggle because they fail to clearly articulate the value that they bring, and because they introduce too much risk to the rest of the system (What if the vendor disappears, or if I want to migrate to another? Why is there yet another API to learn that also strongly couples with my system?)

I am curious about where you are coming from on this. Would you care to get into some specifics?
Nice comment. I just wanted to clarify that Canadian right-wing is much, much different than what's considered right in the US.

The posts on 4chan surfaced several hours after the initial devaluation began (which not only affected, and still affects, ethereum, but virtually every other cryptocurrency too [0][1]) and was consequently not the root cause - though the subsequent reports might have influenced some traders. It is however easy to argue that ethereum, still very much in its infancy, rely almost entirely on Vitalik's continued well-being and leadership.

How about something sensible -- take a census of which party each person supports and then you get proportionate representatives from each party above .15% of the population. Elections then just determine who gets the seats allocated to each party. That's roughly how it works in Germany. Poof -- suddenly there is no such thing as gerrymandering.
among other things make sure you know how to use ! and ^ -- they will save you tons of time compared to searching or editing

I think you're completely wrong there: You're saying that we should have left medical decisions in the hands of the local purveyors?

I think most of the gains we've gotten from the advent of evidence based medicine is building the taxonomy of medicine so we could reason about it effectively. That only works in a larger sense, small groups toiling with different nomenclatures end up wasting effort.

Much the same way economics is building the taxonomy of economies so we can compare and discuss.

Economics is going to become an entirely different animal in the future as we begin to automatically collect fine grained metrics from our automated economies.

Soon we'll be in the era of evidence based economism, and we'll see a huge increase in the effectiveness of it's utilization.

Usually after a mathematical simplification like this, you can find a direct explanation for it. In this case you can reason:

If two appointments conflict, that means that there is a time when they are both active. Thus each of their end times are after both of their start times. Of course, each appointment ends after it started, so that just leaves that each appointment ends after the other started. So if the appointments are a to b and c to d, then they conflict iff b > c and d > a.

(I've corrected bumbledraven's mistake of a > d vs. d > a.)

Fair enough. As far as I know, Android handsets should be able to do this as well. I’m mostly a layperson, so I don’t know what technical specifics separate the chipsets on each device.

My interpretation of “flagship” is the Pixel or (formerly) the Nexus lines. What Google considers the flagships. I could also be interpreting that incorrectly. I’m just used to Samsung, LG, and Moto having some level of control and obstruction on when their phones get OS-level updates. Not sure if the Play store apps have enough system-level permissions to implement whatever core services would be needed to support an SDK for other apps to use.

“Same old rhetoric” seems a bit unfair. It’s been my observation for a while now that you can’t rely on any given Android phone to have the latest OS installed. They usually don’t. (EDIT: And that usually means features can’t be relied upon for app developers, which is why it’s relevant here.)

Nope. Good fun but not good security. Better to just refuse the connection.
My own 2 cents for interviewing, for engineers and most other vaguely technical positions but perhaps broadly applicable:

- Don't ask them to whiteboard, especially don't ask them to whiteboard some absurdity

- Don't put a panel of 5-10 people against a single candidate, but if you must absolutely (why?) do not do it on the first interview

- Don't ask time-wasting stupid questions about manhole covers, boiling bagels on mars, overlapping clock hands, or how many eggs fit into a phone booth

- Don't put someone into a socially awkward situation

- If you ask a knowledge question and the response is something like "I don't know, but I would google it" that should be acceptable if they are demonstrably capable of using what they find

- Do ask them to walk through their own projects, their code, their past work/contributions, etc

- Do try to effectively convey the corporate culture so the candidate can know if they are a good fit or not ahead of time

- Do try to accurately convey what their actual job duties and day-to-day work will be
Shift-Option-Volume up/down (or Brightness up/down): Adjust the volume or brightness in finer-grained increments

The option-resize window trick is crucial when you come across a monitor/video card bug that doesn't let you touch the edge of the window that you need to drag in order to bring the window on-screen. Just option-drag the opposite edge as a workaround.

As I understand it, the initial m is silent, so no 'implicit vowel' is required, the 'mn' is pronounced like 'n', e.g. 'new-mon-ik'. The other word you mention (actually spelled 'chthonic') is pronounced with the initiall 'k' or 'ch' sound, like 'k-thonic'. If you search Google for the words, or look on Wiktionary, there should be a handy audio link with examples.

It's hard to draw such conclusion without data. My income more than doubled after moving from Toronto to NY. Adjusting for cost of living, the gap is paradoxally, even larger. I'm not extraordinary, bit the opportunities in the States are just better (for me).
Incomes there are extremely high. Not a lot of room for growth at the moment.
> Is this a bad idea?

It is a bad idea if you reject federalism (which grandparent might?). If instead of a union we are a mostly homogeneous country with a single identity, a single logical state -- then perhaps it doesn't make sense for the States to exist as independently as they do today.

When I was at the Institute (80s) the IT services were a barrier to computation. They had their big 390/VM system used for accounting and some course 15 stuff. One intern digitized the Mens et Manus logo and IT excited trumpeted that they had done so -- jeez it had been in a font on the Xerox XGP at the AI lab for what, 15 years at that point?

All of course 6 ignored them, and I don't believe they had any impact with Athena. Certainly they would have been upset by faculty writing the root password on all the whiteboards.

In fact they had nothing to do with IP allocation (I doubt they knew what TCP was). I wonder what bureaucratic maneuvering gave them control of that!

Almost all examples I've seen of passive solar design assume that a new building is being built, and often use unconventional techniques and materials. I've seen a smattering of retrofit examples, but get the impression that they're pretty expensive relative to the results.

No, we don't. Large-scale geoengineering proposals have already been made and they are like <$1B each. Many have been calculated to reduce global average temperature by multiple degrees for hundreds of years. It's completely ridiculous that everyone is still complaining about climate change. $1B is significantly less than the total cost spent worrying about these things so far, not to mention the cost of actual damage already incurred and predicted to occur.
