The author of Orchestrator also goes into questions like that at http://code.openark.org/blog/mysql/mysql-high-availability-t...

Tangentially, in that blog post I was impressed by the list of companies running orchestrator.

> orchestrator is actively maintained by GitHub. It manages automated failovers at GitHub. It manages automated failovers at Booking.com, one of the largest MySQL setups on this planet. It manages automated failovers as part of Vitess. These are some names I’m free to disclose, and browsing the issues shows a few more users running failovers in production. Otherwise, it is used for topology management and visualization in a large number of companies such as Square, Etsy, Sendgrid, Godaddy and more.
It says the delivery fee is typically $3. Not sure how they make money...
Right, but - how do you measure "what works best"?

CEF is an answer to "what works best" that's (theoretically?) applicable to all systems.
Funny reading this article, all about EQ, after this mornings post about the fakeness of EQ.
Imagine a world where you don't need a router! A world where the browser would look up a http/s service record for the host and connect directly to the unprivileged port.
That is a good solution for kube thanks for the reference.

My situation is a bit different: hosting a bunch of subs on the same servers.

With one wildcard I have one server conf with one cert and use the hostname to rewrite each request to the correct directory.

If I did a cert for each sub the nginx conf would need 1000's of server config blocks each with its own cert. I haven't tested, so maybe nginx would handle this just fine, but it is easier to just go with a single wildcard and not worry about it.

As far as I can tell there is no security advantage to having multiple certs instead of one wildcard since I would have all the certs on the same server anyway but if anyone knows of any I would be happy to hear.

Could anyone run the numbers on whether this model is profitable, or whether it's another "use VC money to acquire users" type deal?

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this basic idea. As a (bad) analogy, think about how computer code can be written to detect whether or not it is running inside a virtual machine or on a "real" device. It's usually almost impossible to tell but by probing at the extremes and forcing the system to do things that never happen under common usage, it's possible. (It's also possible to break out of the system entirely and gain access to the host OS sometimes, but perhaps that's taking things too far :)
Looking forward to using these at Cloudflare for our Universal SSL product. Our plan is let customers choose which CA they would like us to issue from, with sane defaults based on constraints imposed by other settings, e.g., CAA record prohibiting issuance from one of the CA choices.
Honestly you can say any of these things about MongoDB. Their marketing team sure does. Did you know MongoDB is web scale?

I'm not insulting Postgres (actually a big fan), but Postgres added JSON support after. By that metric, document store in Postgres is less tried-and-true than MongoDB. Does that mean it's the wrong choice? No. Age of product is not always a good qualifier.
Right, but I'm also guessing that they have an arrangement with the local waste disposal company to have it emptied more often.

> Is your negative attitude due to a medical condition or you just being an asshole who has an attitude problem?

I'm always unsure. These days, I'm generally a pretty positive guy but I know I've struggled in the past.

On this particular team I was definitely not the biggest asshole. In fact, after this manager left, the biggest asshole was fired pretty much based on the fact that the new managers weren't willing to tolerate his attitude. The bro culture of the team was curtailed (which is why I was so much happier on it afterwards).

It's very hard to be a manager, a people leader. I don't think he was wrong to bring up the fact - he was doing it because he wanted to protect his company - but it certainly danced around a line of legality. After I withdrew my application he made sure to tell friends of mine that he had rejected me because of my depression. Really mature, that guy is.
> Although I don't think Dunning-Kruger applies...

Based on your extensive qualifications in behavioural science I assume? ;)

Sorry, that was a cheap laugh... but you don't get to brush it off without reasoning though, and Dunning-Kruger isn't the only confidence bias on the table. For example; system justification bias, state and national-scale in-group bias, and the ubiguitous availability of white male role models in almost any profession.

Confidence comes from many places. For example many police forces have trouble recruiting minority officers, even in areas where those minorities are majorities. This is usually not for want of trying, and neither is it because of qualifications. A complex web of motivating and demotivating factors affects conversion rates throughout the recruitment process that often results in unintentional systematic bias.

> You would have to show that the individual is not "well informed" about discrimination...

Not at all.

Caveman_Coder took it upon himself to issue advice to an entire demographic. I argued that demographic will be affected by disproportionate confidence bias. Caveman_Coder's advice specifically hinged on a self-assessment of informed-ness, which will be strongly influenced by confidence bias... making this advice likely to persist ignorance in a proportion of those people.

There's no reasonable obligation for me to look at individual cases of informed-ness.

Happy to discuss yours though.

I'm sympathetic to your story about your own experiences growing up, but I'm skeptical about your claims that you suffered equivalent discrimination to a minority in a white neighbourhood.

On a national level all of the following indicators show bias against minorities. To argue that discrimination against whites in your area is equivalent (in an informed way) you ought to be able to show that a good portion of these indicators are reversed in your neighbourhood... with data, or anecdotally if you that's all you have.

- What proportion of white men are shot by the police in your childhood neighbourhood, vs black or latino men? What are the stop-and-search statistics, and for death in police custody? What do the comparative conviction rates, sentencing, or parole rates look like?

- What's the data on employment by race? What do callback rates for black/white/latino résumés look like? Salaries, promotion, etc.

- What's the data on punishments issued to white/black/latino kids in school for comparable offences? Suspection & expulsion rates? Data on amount of help offered when kids struggle?

- To what comparative extent are white/latino/black votes devalued by gerrymandering in the area? What voter registration laws are in force, and what voter de-registration policies are in place?

What data/analysis do you have? Or if you tell me the name of the neighbourhood I'm happy to have a poke around.

There is a risk of leakage of credentials and private data. Delaying disclosure does not reduce that risk in this situation; if anything it increases the risk. People delay disclosure when disclosing early would increase risk. That is not the case here.

> If it's a security issue, then responsible disclosure.

No. Immediate disclosure when it is the right thing to do. Delayed disclosure when it is the right thing to do.

> If it's not a security issue, then it's not 'Security'. Right?

Yes. If an issue is not a security issue, then it is not a security issue.
You seem to think that I'm arguing that collisions might be a problem. I'm not. I'm raising a point of English usage. "Unique" is not the right word to use in this context; "distinct" is correct.

If a set has a single member, that member is unique; e.g., 2 is the unique even prime number.

If a thing is different from all other things, it's distinct.

I did think about replacing CSS with JavaScript for a while, but CSS actually works very well for modules, because it's cascading effects. For example h1.someClass takes precedence over .someClass and .someClass takes precedence over h1 which is not very intuitive. But you can get very effective in CSS once you learn how that works, and never have to use !important again. But it's also very important that the one who writes the CSS understands it, or it will be a total nightmare to edit.

It's also very powerful to be able to change the design by just replacing the css stylesheet.
For modularity you can load CSS just like loading modules using require.

Double slit experiment? It appears that some people, e.g., Feynman, believe that this experiment is profound. I don't have an explanation as good as I would like, but from
what I studied in physics class, reading Feynman, etc. here's my explanation.

So, shoot a photon, or an electron, neutron, proton, alpha particle, etc., at the double slit barrier. Only one particle, please.

Well, now give up on the idea that we shot a particle. F'get about particles because they don't exist and only seem to exist from some interactions. Instead of a particle, what we shoot at the target is a wave or, in quantum mechanics, a wave function.

So, the wave function hits the barrier. Nearly all that wave function hits the barrier and disappears. Why? Because physics can't think of anything else it could do. So, what is left are the two parts of the wave function that pass through the two slits. Now that one wave function is in two pieces, but no energy has been lost bumping into the barrier and squeezing through the double slits (amazing thing a wave function) -- but maybe with some barriers some of the wave function is reflected, but let's leave that to the next semester!

The two pieces of the wave function that went through the slits continue on to our array of detectors. As wave functions tend to do, especially as they pass through a small hole or slit, they spread out. By the time the two parts of the wave function hit the detectors, they overlap. But, they are just two parts of the same wave function. So, they interfere and create a sine wave pattern at the detectors. Well one of the detectors, at random, gets a detection of the particle.

So, lesson: What travels is a wave, not a point like particle. The wave can be split into two parts and come back together, and then it interferes with itself in a way different from having waves from two independent (I hope the physics people do say independent instead of uncorrelated) particles hitting the detectors. When the wave is detected the detection is at a point as if there were a particle. Moreover, there is no more than one detection, as if there were a particle.

Still, there are no particles; it's just that when a wave function interacts, say, at a detector, it interacts at a point, just some one point, as if it were a point particle. Amazing.

Amazing experiment.

Generalize the experiment some and get the Michelson-Morley experiment, even more amazing.

How Google implemented automated testing
>One of the things I find really interesting about CEF is that it doesn't specifically help with understanding or predicting the world around you; it just gives a very effective way to determine what possible actions you should actually do.

Well, it gives one way to prescribe actions, but no way to prescribe actions we actually care about. Maximizing possible futures rightfully ought be a mere subgoal or consequence of the actual prescriptions we care about.

Personally I like free-energy theory best, but it really still needs some work to distinguish which "predictions" change to accommodate prediction-errors and which drive action. The original equations basically claim they both change at the same time to minimize the free-energy, but by then the generative models and recognition densities themselves approach tautology.

In a certain sense, you could view anything which behaves "teleologically", which self-organizes and moves itself preferentially into some states over others, as engaging in active inference on some generative density. The problem is to describe or prescribe what the generative and recognition densities actually are, lest the theory just be mere philosophy.
Thinking the same, this is not really an on-demand consumer focused service.

GL: We establish yearly contracts, charging so much per month for an office space after we do an audit on the business and establish that it generates, say, 50 bags of garbage in a set amount of time. Everything above that then is extra."

> programmers are afraid of databases.

Maybe it's an age thing (or the product of "bootcamps"), but I don't think that's true. I'm 40, and when I was learning, you connected to and wrote SQL against the database. These days I still spend a significant amount of time writing SQL, both for ad hoc queries and for complex queries / performance optimization.

> Add the idea that there is no need for a DBA

With many cloud database offerings this is essentially true. As for things like indexes, etc... developers targeting Mongo need these as well.

> encourage developers to see Mongo as a magic data storage and nothing more

In modern frameworks, this tends to be true no matter what the data store is.
Interesting, I hadn't previously known about this modeling result from the introduction:

> In response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) versions 3 and 5 indicate decreases in precipitation in the subtropics and increases in middle to high latitudes.
That's exactly my point. Postgres JSON support is "relatively new" (quoting OP) compared to Postgres. So clearly MongoDB is better right?

Except it's not and age of the product is a bad qualifier.

The MongoDB hate hype train is even worse than the MongoDB hype train ever was.

That sounds about right. When I left there 1-2 years ago what I heard was, that SC would be profitable if they were running on 1/3 of the engineers they had at the time.

You shouldn't feel guilty at all. They should feel guilty for making you need to take that day off.

Why? What benefit is there in starting plaintext, and as the post shows, allowing clients to transmit credentials?

And is IMAPS deprecated? Not that it matters -- the IETF or IANA deprecating something or unassigning a port is not really much of a justification.
This article feels like piling on to me. VC's by their nature are rapacious, driven individuals... and so are most entrepreneurs, male or female.

I can think of several women I have worked with who have weaponized their sex appeal to gain advantage in the workplace, essentially being outrageously flirtatious with their target and then being outraged when they get the desired results, running to HR and climbing over their patsie on the career ladder. I know somebody who now has a c suite position in a major global company who did their MBA funded by the results of a silicon valley CEO rape accusation settlement.

I've met Dave McLure a couple of times and don't particularly like the guy, he seems very hard nosed and lacking in empathy. When some women swim with sharks they expect them to behave themselves which seems naive to me. This whole 'visit the rich uncle to persuade them to give us a unicorn budget' VC perception seems hopelessly naive, or perhaps I'm just over reacting to the endless articles about this.

That's a good point. It's trivial for almost any company to accommodate a 'mental health' sick day here or there - in fact nobody cares what you take a sick day for. So the situation in the blog post is a bit contrived and the boss pats himself a bit too much on the back for his response.

I would think true mental health accommodation would involve long periods of leave, or limited hours, or limited days (e.g. 3 day work-weeks) or all of the above. Not many businesses are setup for that.

I use a DIR-505L. It's a wallwart and runs OpenWRT. 2.4Ghz only, but isn't too expensive (~$15). Has USB/ethernet if you want more. Really convenient and kind of looks like a phone charger so it doesn't raise eyebrows.

Mine runs OpenVPN in bridge mode to an SSID. I rarely use the ethernet. And I sometimes use the USB port as a charger. Having a usb cable connected to the wallwart makes it look like a charger. :)

Was also looking at the TP-Link TL-WR710N, but I preferred the more wallwart looking and slightly more compact D-Link. It does have an extra ethernet port if that's a requirement. TP-Link's locking down of thirdparty firmware also led me to keep the D-Link and return the TP-Link. I think they got better about that though.
