There's a fairly logical (and consistent) place to abandon the Unix philosophy: a complexity hub.

That is, some nexus at which a large number of elements come together and are either controlled under direct user input, or a large number of frequently divergent-protocol systems come together. Shells, databases, email, remote filesystems, IDEs, udev, and firewall rules would be among the examples I've previously compiled. Test environments certainly fit that bill.

GUIs are another case.

ESR, in his babbling dotage, still occasionally makes a cogent point, and has noted that elements which don't simply pipeline elements, but have to create a complex structure or connection (which is to say: they don't fit the Unix pipeline model) are another general exception class.

With an industry that moves so ridiculously fast, how do you know what'll be in use in the few years it'll take to become good at something?

I feel like if I'd learned web development five years ago I wouldn't know anything about it today.
Any idea how I could get a copy of Stellarium 0.16.0 compiled for Raspberry Pi?

If you're 10 or 15 years out of college, you're way less likely to be able to answer the standard "Implement a red-black tree on a whiteboard" type question. Recent grads have a tremendous advantage here.
What's wrong with leaving it unchanged? The blog post title seems fine.
By "just okay" I meant that GitLab is a good example of the "worse is better" Unix philosophy.
Same with PHP.
If Elsevier and others want to keep their monopolies they need to justify the following:

How it is possible that they take:
- free labor (reviews done by scientists)
- free content (articles created by government money mostly)

Then they magically become owners of that content and are permitted by society to charge obscene amount of money.

Also fuck you and your ignorance, that is why we cannot have nice things.
Because then the project can create it for nothing and sell it.
TBH, everything was covered by warranty other than the coil whine and wifi - by sticking to one particular driver version you can avoid many of the wifi issues. Not everyone has had the USB-C problems and it's gotten a little better with the most recent updates.

Your response surprises me because you're old enough to have tried to find information before major search engines for WWW existed. The process involved mostly word-of-mouth, finding obscure sources, books, consultants, academic journals, associations, and so on. As Internet grew, we got that over dial-up lines with shitty search engines. Eventually, with early Web, I had to painfully grab all this content you talk about with a handful of search engines whose strengths and weaknesses varied. Most lay people thought they sucked with many using the older methods as often as search.

Then, there was Google. Initially, it was just another tool in my meta-search toolbox. It grew to index massive number of content sites, its engine filtered bullshit a bit better, its presentation was efficient/clean, and its front-page results were better than the competition. Got to the point that lay people adopted it massively with most of them talking about how it improved their productivity, learning, and entertainment. They supplanted that on video side with YouTube. I continued to use Google to find info I needed before and during build of Wikipedia. It found the Wikipedia articles along with others that may or may not be better. Many people told me they also do what I do: just Google the topic if you're interested in a Wikipedia article since it will be on or near the top anyway.

The productivity and discovery benefits of Google were huge. They just went up with its massive market share and investments. So many people benefit from it for finding content now that they literally tell people to "Google" something instead of search for it. Wikipedia could disappear and I could find all that information through Google. Actually, Google plus Wayback Machine if I'm being totally honest. Content pages can disappear but the archive can keep them. So, Google plus Wayback Machine were most amazing things to me with one giving me everything I need to know plus other preserving everything I need or might want to know.

You think that's terrible but I say it's awesome. The problems you mention come from the market's and voters' preference rather than Google's excellence at search. Market chose to go to surveillance model. They punish most who try to free us from it. The voters chose to put corrupt people in office who would pass or strengthen IP laws benefiting the bribing few over the many. They chose temporary safety over liberty later. Different choices could've led to a very different Google (or replacement). I blame the demand side since they seem to always pull that shit.
It's critical to realise that the main role journals play among active, tenure-track academics is in restricting upward professional growth.

If you must publish in high-impact journals, and those journals are closed-access, then you must publish in closed-access journals.

Unless and until a significant portion of the tenure committees of major academic institutions changes their selection criteria, this will not change. The rentiership is actually on the professional advancement track.

Corollary: it is only necessary for journals to retain the tenure committees on their side in order to keep their money-printing operation running.

A union won't make a company hire you. Whatever power union has, it comes after signing on the dotted line, so that particular problem would not be solved by a union.

Unlike police or muni drivers or Detroit auto works, programmers are among the most frequent job changers.

Other than Hollywood unions (where main benefit, as far as I can tell, is ensuring that you don't get taken advantage of too much at the low end thanks to minimum wages etc.) is there any example of a union for a profession where you change your employer every 2-3 years?

Let me see if I can explain this better.

500 years ago was 1517. This is just a bit into the Age of Discovery. We hadn't even managed to sail all the way around the world yet (that wouldn't come until 1522). The Enlightenment was still a couple centuries away. Feudalism was still a thing, plagues still routinely struck. Absolute monarchs reigned over lands. Most people still lived on subsistence agriculture and would starve is there was a bad harvest. People routinely died of things that we don't even think about because of modern medicine.

Now, compare that to the world we live in now, where satellites and cables beam information around the world in milliseconds and childhood deaths from diseases are much rarer now. I could be in China in less than a day if I wanted to. And I'm not likely to starve this winter and I never had smallpox as a child.

Blockchains MAY someday be important. But it is the height of tech arrogance, not to mention a gross lack of awareness of history, to put a yet largely unproven technology that most of the human population has not even heard of on the same level as vaccinations. A LOT has happened in 500 years, and it is WAY too early to be making those kinds of pronouncements.

(As a side note, two of the most underrated inventions of, let's say the last 100 years or so: the pallet and the ISO container. Both of these are so crucial to the modern economy that they blend into the background.)
Every time I hear the 'basic physics' or 'first law of thermodynamics' argument in favor of CICO I can't help but remember the joke about 'spherical cows':

"Milk production at a dairy farm was low, so a farmer wrote to the local university to ask for help. A multidisciplinary team of professors was assembled, headed by a theoretical physicist, and two weeks of intensive on-site investigation took place. The scholars then returned to the university, notebooks crammed with data, where the task of writing the report was left to the team leader. Shortly thereafter the physicist returned to the farm, and advised the farmer, “I have the solution, but it only works in the case of spherical cows in a vacuum.”

Human beings aren't black boxes, we are living, breathing organisms, and as complex organisms we can process food differently depending on what it is. For example, cows eat grass, and can survive on a diet of 100% grass, so they must get some calories out of it. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to sustain the energy expenditure necessary to power a ~2000 pound beast, and would die early. Humans, on the other hand, cannot digest cellulose, so it will land in your stomach as indigestible fiber after which you will promptly poop it out. If you were to give a human an all grass diet, he/she would die within weeks.

In a similar vein, a calorie of carbs is not digested the same way as a calorie of protein, which is also not digested in the same way as a calorie of fat. For the studies that you mention, I'm certain that the macronutrient composition made very little difference when it comes to weight loss in the short term, but I am far more skeptical about whether a high carb diet is actually sustainable after your body has adjusted to a lower metabolic rate. Most studies of this type show a bounce back in weight after the initial weight loss. Furthermore, it's not and shouldn't be all about weight loss; if a calorie is just a calorie why don't you just eat 1500 calories of pure sucrose per day? Assuming you were able to stick to it, you'll quickly get fatty liver disease, diabetes, and a ton of visceral fat. The idea that the macronutrient composition is irrelevant as long as calorie restriction is maintained is too simplistic a view, and a dangerous one to spread.

Cheer up. I am 48 and let me share one secret with you: It will get better as long as you do not give it up!
Don't give up buddy, there's infinite number of corners in this Earth to start fresh, and countless number of people who'd genuinely care about you, just as you are.
The logic here goes like this: Oh no. Here is this person who is confident and seems to be pretty chill and nice. They are expert at what they do and seem truly interested in it enough to have done lots of independent work in their field just because they were interested. They actually have that BS term we all throw around like we knew what it meant called "passion". They make me feel like I don't know what I'm doing at all, and I feel really insecure already. What's worse- they are totally not being a jerk about this and must notice that I'm asking really surfacy questions when I should be asking much better ones since I'm interviewing them. Boy am I really nervous. I wonder if they can tell. (yes, we can tell, but it is fine- we were all young once. We all felt challenged once- it's great that you feel challenged at your job, and I'm happy for you about that---- I just want a job, dig?) Oh my god, if I hire this person I'll be afraid I'm a fake every single day, and I'll be nervous around them. I can't hire them becuase they will see through my bullshit. (yes, we will) they will know all my tricks because they have been here before (yes, we will) yeikes! Oh my god. I have to get them out of my office. I'll just hire that young person with no experience who makes me feel really really smart. Then I won't have to feel like I'm having a heart attack every day. --- I think the reasoning goes a little like that. Which is too bad, because we are thinking: hey- this economy sucks. I just want a job. Really any job. Just a nice job with nice people. I don't need to show you up. In fact, I might be a cool person you become friends with who you like to chat with during lunch you know? I can do this work in my sleep and I think I can help this company, and now that I'm in a great position to do so, no one will hire me? This is totally insane, and it is all because you are afraid someone will notice you are not qualified to do your job? Well, guess what? We notice. We just want to have a job at all. We can't turn back time, be 25 and look awesome in our skinny jeans. We just need to pay rent. But I get it, you need to feel mentally like you are not gonna die of anxiety every day. But this situation hurts everyone.
I was talking about the admin password; I guess that wasn't clear. You still need a WPA password (unless you use WPS, but apparently that's even less secure).
Those had immediate applications which made new capabilities possible. Blockchains are neat tech but nowhere near that level of impact yet.

This is the part that worries me. Up until now, whenever wealth accumulates to an extreme degree, things always collapse, often violently. This is because the rich have always relied on the poor to produce for them and the poor have always been too numerous to resist when it comes to a fight.

Robots change all this. For the first time in history, we are nearing a system where the rich don't need the poor. Whether it's producing food and other goods or even fighting their wars, the rich will soon be able to rely solely on automation to feed, clothe and protect them. Automation could create a system that doesn't have to collapse, no matter how top heavy it becomes.
You continue to misrepresent my past comments. I will read nothing further from you, save for an apology.
Does anyone know anything for somehow providing useful information/action out of Surricata IDS logs? I have stuff routed to my syslog, but just always forgot to check for anything interesting.
Biggest tech holdings:

- TSLA - same reasons mentioned below
- NVDA - GPUs could eventually replace CPUs, machine learning / autonomous vehicles, data storage, great core business (gaming)
- AMD - similar reasons to NVDA, Epyc is making waves and taking market share from INTC
- AMZN - $1 of every $2 on the internet is spent here, AWS alone is probably a $100 BN+ business, they have their hands in every imaginable cookie jar
- GOOGL - diversified play on ML, internet of things and more, search business is cash cow

Surprised at the index fund answers here. If you had invested in FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) stocks last 5 years, would have made a killing, and for people who regularly post on HN, all of these companies are regularly mentioned / cited as examples of superior engineering.
First Cable-Free Elevator Zooms Horizontally and Vertically Using Maglev Tech
I think you might be a little confused. Even in hash tables with chaining, one does not tend to spend much time traversing linked lists, because the typical bucket will have only one member. This depends on the load factor of the table, but most practical implementations will eventually rebucket and rehash if their load factor grows too high. "Getting the key loaded" -- i.e. finding the memory location that contains the key -- is O(1) on average in all practical hash tables. It does not typically require any traversal at all.

You keep on talking about ordered tables like red black trees, as in this comment, which is another sign that makes me wonder if you might be confused.
I might have 'lucked out', I'm 41. I under performed in my 20s (it was the 90s after all and the bubble burst just as I was gaining momentum in the market) and received my college degree at 30. I assume most people who see my resume consider me 8 - 10 years younger than I really am. Doesn't hurt that I hit the gym and haven't gone gray yet. I went the mobile route (iOS) and haven't had a pay cut in 8 years (currently 200k+ living in the mid-west). Not without its ups and downs, I tend to not get hired at start ups, maybe those 20 somethings smell something is up, but fortune 100s are quick to give me an offer letter.

With age comes maturity. It's allowed me to get along better with my co-workers (so many upper 20s, lower 30s tend to be a bit... hot headed) and I'm not afraid to negotiate. The older I've gotten, the more comfortable in my skin and in my skill set I've become.

If there's ageism I've yet to experience it and I've worked with people well in their 50s doing mobile. It comes down to who you're working for, what your skill set is, timing and, in my opinion, health. You've got to stay healthy and look healthy! Also, I tend to prune my resume, no one wants to see your experience 8+ years ago.

Or maybe it's all luck, ask me in five years what I think when Objc/Swift goes the way of PHP, I might be singing a different tune.

"Implement a red-black tree on a whiteboard" is code for "we don't know how to interview, so we ask about stuff that the hiree will never do". I'm not so sure the "advantage" is actually an advantage.
Tenure-track academia is an exercise in restricting upward professional growth, anyway. It's built into the system.

When you've chosen the tenure track, you know you might be spending a decade at a school nobody has ever heard of pumping out research nobody is ever gonna read. There are some stars undoubtedly but there are only so many tenure track jobs. Academics have embraced that system for a long time, the journals are just a side-effect of that acceptance.
Do you have a source on this settlement? As far as I can tell from online searches and the website you linked, the lawsuit is still ongoing.

You don't get into security by taking courses. You do crackmes, you write shellcode, you hack games, you write keygens, crack licensed software/ patch it, write loaders..you packet sniff and figure out unknown binary protocols...you do things..because you want to. You don't get into security because you think its worth the money. You'll just get fleeced. Sorry, just being honest. If you can't even program, security is the last thing you can get into. Stick to legos mindstorm, kid.
It's still very early in the GPU ML and AR/VR story line. You say expensive now... You'll kick yourself for not going whole hog on these. Buy every dip of NVDA.

is there any example of a union for a profession where you change your employer every 2-3 years?

I know a few construction workers who essentially work for the union. A contractor will get a job, and they'll contact the different unions and say they need people to get it done.
The question is: where do you place control of that gate, and what consequences derive from that.

Counterpoint: if closed-access journals are no longer the constraint, how does that change the overall academic landscape? For better or worse?

Information filters will remain, and they will remain imperfect.
1) Get a bunch of Eth.
2) Invest in the right ICO. Not the wrong one, where the value drops to zero.
I am unable to reconcile these facts that life expectancy keeps rising and jobs opportunities keeps falling. Government across the world in low/mid or sometimes even high income countries are already running huge budget deficits. So they are not going cheap/free amenities to jobless masses when even people with jobs are finding things expensive.
I agree. Well put. Reminds me of functional resume approach of describing what one did vs where they worked. I've always preferred it.

Accenture is #493 of the S&P500, at $101k of revenue per employee. (!) They're doing a bit better than McDonalds (#497). The scalability argument holds -- compare to Netflix, which scales quite well (#23, $1.9M/employee).
Datacenter REITs have been a great moneymaker for me: EQIX, DLR, DFT (being acquired by DLR), and a few others like COR, INXN, and CONE.

Buy it, hold it, wait for it to double, sell half, then let the rest ride for free and reinvest the original stake. Great way to never worry about timing when to take gains in high flying stocks.

REITs also throw off a lot of income and dividends which makes them nice to hold long term.
I remember last time you mentioned range query was very slow and you didn't quite understand what was causing it. Any news on that end?
they say that when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. bearing in mind that I definitely have a go-hammer, but depending on the library you're dealing with, turning a go library into a .a or .so via cgo is pretty painless. it usually requires just a very small shim.

anyway, not strictly an answer to the question you asked, but b/c I've spent so much time doing cgo I figured I'd mention it as a possibility.

I see. I am not in the same field so some of what I say may not apply but as a designer I'm always looking to partner with people who can create websites to specs. Maybe other developers can chime in but I can give a few tips that have worked well for me:

-if you don't have any current leads, ask around. Colleagues, family, friends, people you know. Just get the word out so next time a relevant topic comes up in a conversation you're the first on their mind. Also get a profile on freelancing sites.
- Don't compete on price. Offer solutions not services.
- Make a portfolio of your projects, even personal ones and talk about your role in those projects, goals, outcomes etc.
- listen to freelancers podcasts - art of value is a good one.
- get to know people in complementary fields like designers. Your source of leads could be from a business, an agency or a designer.. even copy writers.
- start on a paid gig. Personal projects are alright but developers need paid gigs in their portfolios.
- start now, somewhere, anywhere. Some people never start.

If you are beyond these tips already, great. If not, wish you the best of luck!
Yes, already did. Thanks.
