> Obviously the more you work the you produce.

That's not so obvious in software development, where mistakes from yesterday or 5 years ago can mire you in unproductive work for hours or days.

But then I look at lines of code not as value produced but as a resource spent.
What DDoS mitigation service were you using? This is why you need a provider like Incapsula, that protects at the origin server & C-name. Many providers only protect at the level of the A name, so you can get this kind of hit.

Yeah no problem, that makes sense, to be fair I've personally seen Chinese companies cutting corners as far as safety goes.

There are always corner cases. Most phones definitely have the same chipsets, with the exact same parts.

If you are looking for details directly from the device there are various commands to get info like dmesg, getprop. There are other ways (recommended if you have time and patience), like going into /sys/devices, but I really believe it is very common to have same parts for a single mobile device (I think Apple did it because of production problems)

Sentiment Analysis Using Python in 3 Minutes
There were large, sparse commercial parcels between 101 and the Bay with light rail right there. Heck, the Sunnyvale Lockheed campus along Mathilda and Java used to employ 20,000 by itself. That's one example.

At the time the spaceship site was chosen, there was a LOT of vacant commercial space along the Central/Caltrain corridor, mostly single-story on large parcels (with huge parking areas). Much is still mostly vacant -- ride Caltrain on a weekday and watch the empty lots roll by.

North Santa Clara is even more sparse, with access to two freeways. A new development is being discussed for the former dump site North of Levi's stadium. But it doesn't have a Cupertino address like Jobs apparently wanted.
Samsung are pretty notorious for this. Most of their phones come in many different models for different markets, from a quick google, both the S7 and S7 Edge have 14 different variants each. Some have different CPUs, many have differing internal parts, etc. It's a minefield.

If the main input to the security of your application comes from having a penetration test, you're going to have a bad time.

There's no mystery to what an app. security tester does really, and getting the basics of app. sec right early in the development lifecycle is probably the most important piece of having a good solid app.

Sure get a tester in at the end to poke it and find edge cases and weird security bugs, but for a new app. getting someone in the early phases of development to provide security architecture advice is probably more important.

If DynamoDB guys can come up with a mechanism similar to their CPU credits concept, that'd be a really nice feature to have. Of course it can't be as straightforward as CPU credits.
And we'd still have people saying that monopolies are only granted by the government, and that without the government, or with a small one, the Free Market(TM) would sort it all out.

In this particular book, that angle is more of a minor plot thread. Those politicians who don't buy into using the necklace 'body cam' version of this tiny camera to become transparent (to become 'clear') to their 'constituents' begin to become ostracized or, worse, blackmailed and then jailed (e.g. ostracized). The plot does revolve around people judging the central character's every action in real-time through these tiny cameras.

Show HN: Kli – An unofficial kaggle cli with a config file
Notepad is probably the only program that I wouldn't call crappy in windows. I think it follows the unix philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it right. I'm not a windows user but it's been useful.
Recommended install via pip -- 'pip install kli'
as kli's dependencies are installed along with it as well.

I've been using it for the past few weeks now without any issues, so please let me know if you do find any.

There are no tests as the project is quite small.

Why I made it:

Whilst completing the tasks in the fast.ai course & found the 'kg' cli quite cumbersome to use, and I didn't want everyone to see my password.

It also became possible for me to migrate my user settings ('.ini' file) to another system if I wanted to.
When I started it was even cheaper(~10% of reserved cost), but even now, it's pretty cheap.
I'm not sure I get it. Where is the user io in the second example? I'm not sure I understand how fn2-interactive still works.

I sat there with my jaw on the floor–for those of you who don’t know what Cosmos DB is, it’s the first globally distributed, multi-model database service for building planet scale apps

Started doing the evangelism already I see! This whole blog post is just a PR puff piece! That line is pretty much taken verbatim from the CosmosDB website - "planet scale apps" indeed.

For those that were wondering what Developer Advocates do it's exactly this: write blog posts as if they're just engineers like you, but rave about how amazing their employers are.

FWIW I even like Microsoft, Azure is my cloud of choice, but this kind of marketing activity is pretty condescending in my personal opinion. I like to keep things on a pure engineering level, technical merits only, warts and all.

Ask HN: How can I be better at software architecture?
Hi, I am a developer with 9 years if industrial experience, worked with a wide variety of languages and frameworks. But when it comes to suggesting technical solutions, I feel like I am a fresher. I could not put forward my ideas in a larger team even if sometimes I find the solutions suggested by my seniors are not good. I feel like my knowledge is inadequate when it comes to a debate on working problems. What should I do differently? How can I have a greater knowledge if software architecture?

Those are all accidental limitations from the architecture as it exists, not as it could exist. There is no fundamental reason why the IP address is a combination of network and host address. There is no fundamental reason why a host is presumed to have only one IP address. There is no fundamental reason why alice@alice.com and bob@bob.com can’t be the same daemon listening on different IP addresses, but anybody connecting to the alice.com interface gets a different certificate and no access to the bob.com resources.

I think the systemd socket activation with declarative configuration files, and the Serverless cloud computing fad, are hints of how it is possible to control exactly what program is running, and even have some custom code, without having to duplicate and maintain all the binaries. Too bad they’re doing it on Linux, so they still have all those accidental limitations.
I have zero idea how you can say these things to one of the most civil people on here who isn't expressing truly odious ideas, and still believe in your heart that your moderation is content-neutral.

PDF is like c++

it's used everywhere because you can do everything with it.

This also leads to the problem where you can do anything with it.

so each industry is kind of coming up with their own subset of pdf that applies some restrictions in the hopes of making them verifiable.

the downside is that these subsets slowly start bloating until they allow everything anyway.

i'm looking at you PDFa. grr.
Have you encountered anything else since the paper was published that is worth mentioning?

This is the suggestions given to me by people way smarter than me:

Find something that you are passionate about or at least a domain that you find fun or interesting. The horizontal landscape of CS is incredibly vast. The last thing you want to do is to learn something you are not interested in. Let's say you will make lots of money from quadcopters in the future, but would you still do it if you ended up hating yourself?

One thing that is important is the fundamentals and basics of CS. You usually want to have a good base so that learning other things built with the fundamentals becomes easy. IE: You dont want to learn calculus without learning basic arithmetic first.

Figure out what domain you want to be in, for example real estate. Once you find that out, look for the programming languages, math, and technology they are using. This is one way to get a job right away after graduation.

Go talk to other students in other faculties from STEM to Humanities. You'd be surprised how they use technology, which you might have not realized before.
It seemed to me that he was interjecting with arbitrary comments, just to show off that he speaks Chinese. I didn't think it added to the video at all.

This is cool, but I feel areas overlap significantly. For example, I live on the cusp between a rich and a tourist area in London; in reality, the area used to be social housing, so is more affordable than the surrounding area. Furthermore, pretty much all the tourist areas of London have other use cases, whether residential or office buildings. The suburbs will also have light industry too.

Not to disagree with your point about monopolism, but "Intel Inside" came about in that weird period of PC history where IBM had been dethroned, but nobody had taken charge. PC companies were manufacturing "clones" of increasingly outdated systems, and the pain-points were numerous and obvious. It really was a "unique branding opportunity" for someone to step-up and define the post-IBM PC market.

Which Intel did. They were largely the one who turned primitive PC ATs + 57 different hacks into the modern PC platform. APIC PCI USB etc. (AMD gets credit for 64-bit largely because Intel refused to do so.) "Intel Inside" wasn't just marketing kickbacks, it was a badly-needed standardization program.

It's an interesting idea to have a coin that is backed by something that has real tangible value in the industry (storage space)... I'd like to know whether or not the intrinsic value behind Filecoin (in terms of $ worth of storage space) will be worth the cost of operating the network (in $ terms).

As a buyer of storage space, if you need storage, isn't it always going to be cheaper, faster and more convenient to use your own hard disks or a specialised service like S3?

Will people actually have an incentive to use Filecoin as a storage service instead of S3? If they don't, then the coin has no advantages over Bitcoin.

Cyclops: PRU Programming Framework for Precise Timing Applications [pdf]
Foremost, thank you for your work on this subject and your contributions.

As this is work from 2010, and, to cite from your paper:

> In this work, we will not consider finding multiple records at the same time. The algorithms given in pseudo-code will not directly support range queries. In case there is multiple matching records for the same key, the algorithms will only return one of the matching records. For most of the algorithms given here, it is however simple to extend them for range queries, or returning all of the records matching a key. We also will not consider set queries, where all records matching a set of keys are returned from one search operation. There is some potential for follow-up work in this area ...[snip]... Current commercial database systems already know when to switch from index probing to a full table scan. There might be some potential for performing better than both of those when explicitly considering this case in index structures.

The precise reason for using b-tree(-ish) data structures in databases and search engines like Lucene is precisely those two issues: to enable set and range retrievals. Have you published any follow-up of your work that extends the algorithms presented to cope with these two issues?
Try some hobby electronics. The thought processes and approach to designing electronics overlaps somewhat with software development, and you can actually create tangible outputs (even if its as simple as automating your blinds, or your kettle).

One of the ways I started and continually improve that network is by interviewing for programmer jobs. I am almost constantly interviewing. It keeps my skills up to spec, helps me do well with typical programmer interviews, I always have my ear to the rail for a new opportunity, and best of all, I'm continually meeting new and interesting people working on cool projects. I've been interviewed by people that later I befriended and then helped get positions at companies that I knew were hiring. It is an excellent way to form and maintain this network of like-minded people. I'll warn you though that this is a time-consuming and sometimes very draining hobby. I've never gone into an interview saying to myself that I would not take the job, but there have been times when I regretted going. It sometimes helps you know which companies to avoid. I'd start local and then if this is something you can handle, only then start interviewing in other cities.

You can have original creators do an out of band verification, e.g. by signing their hash. You would then need a community to vote / decide on the right hash.
