You can, hence my comment about silos. The interface is rarely well defined enough to be able to abstract it over a network boundary from experience. One of the things I see in a lot of monoliths is leaky abstractions and they are really difficult to reign in.

We tend to go for throwing related web front and and API endpoints into the same ball of mud silo and back end that directly with the storage and cache services. We scale those silos up and partition across tenants too. I think a couple of the silos are around the 1 million LoC size now as well.
Haha :) me and my family speak "Hochdeutsch" even as locals, but I will try to recognize your description.
>The EU's core principle are the "Four Freedoms": those of capital, services, products, and labour.

So basically all the kinds of freedoms for commerce and employers, and none for the people ("freedom of labour" being an euphemism for "lesser job protections").

Frankfurt/Offenbach/Rüsselsheim feels less international like Berlin, because most immigrants there seem to be the working class from east Europe, while Berlin somehow managed to get all the white collar expats.

Berlin feels more modern and liberal, while Frankfurt feels like... I don't know.. the Bronx ;)
Ok, so the breach was via an employee's Github account that wasn't secured with 2FA. I understand that would have given them access to the source code for 8tracks, but HOW did they get access to database credentials?? I would have assumed best practice would dictate that database server IP addresses and access credentials would have been in a configuration file that is NOT checked into version control??

Most companies go to great lengths to extract credentials, keys and other sensitive information into some sort of environment file, don't they?

Unless they had a copy of their database in text/JSON/XML format uploaded to version control as well??

Honestly I thought by now we would be interacting on a much higher and richer level with the machine

Smalltalk took some steps in this direction, and saw a degree of commercial use in the 90s. For the matter, fire up a REPL from your favourite LISP and you'll have a more interactive experience than most mainstream languages offer.

There are still attempts to move in this direction. "Notebook" interfaces which are kind-of popular with data scientists in some fields. Swift playgrounds.

I think what's prevented interactive environments gaining more traction is pretty much the same thing that's driving a lot of the trends in the linked article: what is being optimised is fine-grained collaboration and discipline within teams at the expense of flair and individuality. The modernist developer is getting unit tests to pass, not playing in an interactive interface.

If your manager is the kind that brow-beats when they can't find you, and, they forget things you tell them (in writing), then reminding them of the thing you have told them, in writing, to their bosses boss, will basically get you fired.
Fair enough. In places where I've had to deal with that, I was in the code review seat ahead of time and was generally able to go "no no no, let's not do that"--but I can see how stuff can decay.
Not sure why the contempt with an opinion.

I get that microservices are trite, and most people think they need them long before necessary; however, they have uses beyond scale.

I'm sure that there are ways to mitigate every point I can make within monoliths.

My points are just opinions.
That. Most folks understand services as separate codebases, running as separate deployments. My take is that they are logical entities to a degree where their physical implementation is irrelevant to their clients.
>Changing ones name may be a stupid impulse decision but sticking with it is a real choice.

A stupid choice -- which makes all the difference.

Sticking with something you can't change is one thing (like accepting your body if you had an accident etc).

Sticking with something you've picked yourself, can change at anytime, and was BS to begin with is another -- and not to be lauded.

At least the country version was better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHPuY88Ry4
You could easily make that more broad, i.e. what does country X produce that others do not?

As for the article, speaking as someone from the UK, as far as I'm concerned the UK did a deal with the devil back in the 80s, focusing on the fake prosperity of the financial services industry (gambling on markets is ultimately a waste of effort) in place of growth in the productive economy (manufacturing industries were neglected for decades). If Brexit means the government is forced to diversify and not rely so heavily on financial services it could be a very good thing for the UK. There will certainly be challenges in changing the economy if we leave the European single market (I can't see hard Brexit happening anyway, there's very likely to be some form of compromise), but I'll not be crying over lost banker jobs, they can be someone else's problem now.
Agreed, we need a multi-planetary omlett.
One device specification resource:

Oh puhleese. The EU very much wanted the UK to stay in the union. The UK is the one that decided to leave. No way they should get to have the benefits of membership without the responsibilities. And your characterizing this as just "EU putting up trade barriers to the UK" is laughable.
Well, dog behavior is due to a large part to how they are handled by humans, and what kinds of humans pick which kinds of dogs is to a large part cultural. But yes, there is a genetic element, you're right. The hugely artificial creatures created by dog breeders aren't a very convincing example for broad statements about "the rest of biology", though.
Really cool that it also renders to SVG!
Would a nice thank you note be appropriate?
All those new quarters you mentioned are damn expensive... I also talked to the vendors of those mixed-use-skyscrapers and If you want to invest less than about 800.000 for a 3-bedroom-appartment, they have nothing for you. Prices are flying high...

You'll have to move away about 30 kilometers to really see lower prices.
Turkish GSM networks currently play a message of the President on any phone call
Turkey reached another milestone of propaganda thanks to the total control of the communications.

Right know when you make a phone call using your mobile phone, before ringing starts citizens are forced to listen to 10 seconds voice recording of the president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Here is a demonstration: https://twitter.com/sendika_org/status/886343590208835584

Here is a Twitter search that will provide you with many more videos showcasing the issue: https://twitter.com/search?f=videos&vertical=default&q=erdoğan%20telefon&src=tyah

Here is a report by BBC(Turkish edition): https://twitter.com/bbcturkce/status/886351634888085505

The message is about the anniversary of the unsuccessful coup attempt believed to be orchestrated by Gulenists(previous allies of the president, currently branded as Terrorists ) that took place on 15.06.2016, claiming the lives of more than 200 civilians and led to uncontested power grab by the President.

Right now Turkey is one of the most hostile countries for the journalists. Wikipedia is banned since a while.
> Interesting, thanks for telling me this. But how much better? I mean, a GPU with 1024 CUDA cores surely cannot surpass 1024 CPUs. So all we need to do is bump up 100000 to a slightly higher number to make it GPU-proof if that's the case, no?

The weakness of PBKDF2 is that it requires a small fixed amount of memory to run, making it ideal for brute forcing with a GPU. Algorithms like Scrypt / Argon2 are designed to counter this by requiring lots of memory to run. Best reference I could find or current best GPU brute forcing speed is https://gist.github.com/epixoip/a83d38f412b4737e99bbef804a27... - which seems to say that the test system could do like 100-200k password guesses / sec with PBKDF2-Sha256 @ 100,000 iterations (extrapolating from the numbers given).
Ask HN: Would you want to sell code of complete websites?
Let me clarify: if you've heard of Themeforest, you'll probably know that it is a website where you can submit website designs that any number of people can buy. The problem is essentially this: you can only buy front-end code.

This question is mainly directed towards developers. Would you be interested in creating complete websites (as a template, with both back-end and front-end code) solely for the purpose of selling it on a website similar to Themeforest?
Example: Full code (back-end and front-end) of a generic social media website.

Thank you very much for reading and taking the time to answer this question. Any feedback is appreciated, as long as it's constructive. :)
Okay, allow me to clarify. A structure editor that has an all-around experience superior to plaintext editing, to the extent that such an editor can gain critical mass/mainstream adoption, remains an unsolved problem.
There needs to be community pressure on companies to allocate resources and time for employees to contribute back to whatever projects they use.

It's not unreasonable for someone to have hobbies other than coding outside of work. Many people that contribute to open source end up doing so during their free time, but I'd guess that a fair share of those 44% of developers have different priorities.
I don't think OP suggested otherwise?
it is not asking for the "benefits of membership", the UK Government is asking for a free trade agreement along the lines of that agreed with Canada
aka selling out.
They Said It Couldn't Be Done the Quest for Human-Powered Flight
Adblock, adblock Plus and ghostery all together blocked 13 things. That's after what Pi-Hole blocked.
They had a great free trade agreement - when they were in the European Union.
The problem with huge caches is actually that access latency grows with the physical distance of the cache lines from the pipelines.

This is why typically you see them adding new cache levels, instead of drastically expanding the size of the cache, especially the lower level caches (L1 and L2).
They say, don't feed the troll. But I will answer you.
Likely the EU will have much higher labor protections that the UK.
"freedom of labour" actually means you are free to move and work or open a business as an EU citizen within the EU.
One would think, but I think big brands don’t care. They are after “awareness” and not actual conversions. It’s like TV, how does one measure the ROI on a national Coca Cola ad? (I actually don’t know.)
* http://www.compare50.org/chart/index/chart/218/states/57,96 - A good place to start with lots of data. The graphs indicate state by state rank opposed to raw values.

It's not contempt, it's frustration because you're making assertions that are not backed up by reality.

This is what I do for a living, and I am regularly but-but-microserviced by people who are equally ignorant of competent application design and who think that breaking it into HTTP-intermediated chunks will solve that they are choosing to write bad code. That segmentation doesn't--it does nothing. It isn't YAGNI, but YAHYBDI, and I'll get hot under the T-shirt occasionally 'cause people who read discussions like this will get the wrong idea and stick their hands into the saw, too.

I could get paid more by letting people mangle themselves, but it'd be mean.
At this stage it's a long list of small details rather than any specific feature. Apple place an extremely high value on UI consistency, which is disproportionately important for visually impaired users. Accessibility is an intrinsic part of their design culture, rather than something they retrofit on later. Subtle things like menu items being in a logical order make a really big difference when you rely on a screenreader. Apple also work far harder to promote and support accessibility for third-party developers. Accessibility is always a major focus at WWDC and is deeply woven into the Human Interface Guidelines. UIKit is highly accessible by default.

By way of metaphor: Visually impaired people need to be extremely neat and tidy, because they can't easily navigate a messy environment. If you don't put things back on the shelves in exactly the same place every time, you're in deep trouble. Google have a really poor track record of putting things in the same place every time.

For users with other accessibility needs, the size and consistency of the iOS ecosystem is often crucial. iOS gets all the good apps and peripherals first, because it's a much easier development target.
Do modern Italians share any more heritage with the Romans than any other European? Europe is pretty prominent.
He fictionalized his time as a computer programmer in the book 'Youth'. It's superb.
As far as I'm aware, most work stealing schedulers still aren't cache-aware. One really naiive (but possibly effective) way to do this could be to have a per-core (or per L2, or per NUMA node) work LIFO which would be consulted before looking to other cores for work. When your core/L2/NUMA node schedules a task right before terminating, it is more likely that the next task will be local. This, of course, doesn't work if you're more concerned about jitter or latency under load.

I noticed a paper about a cache-aware work-stealing scheduler which I have not yet read[0].

It's all relative. If everyone had an IQ of 150, the elites would be those with IQs of 180
i think this is a bit of a legacy reputation issue. as some commenters explained above the nature of DBC has changed a lot since Kaplan took over.
Not sidestepped, but they're a TS that may (should, I think?) be folded in C++20 once there's a consensus.

There are a couple nice implementations already, so I'd expect no problem with a modules proposal making the cut for the next standard.
I don't think you're being fair to the person you're replying to. We should want to be led by people more intelligent than most. And not just more intelligent, but more honest, honorable, and courageous than most. That shouldn't be controversial.

I don't agree with the OP's paternalism, but I do think that men need to be led to achieve the greatest that each is individually capable of. And to be a great leader requires one to be extraordinary. There is not a Napolean or Alexander sleeping inside each of us. And that's just fine. We are nonetheless equal before God, or for secular ears: equal in dignity and moral worth.
This can only be good for Mass tech and tech companies in general. One can only hope more politicians wise up to the negative externalities of patent trolls. That and opposition to anti-compete clauses are what politicians should to attract talent to their regional economies.
Its somewhat easier in iOS 11, there's a more dedicated area in settings. Also, in iOS 11, it provides usernames and passwords within apps, which is super convenient.
Rule of thumb: if you have two "service" talking to the same set of data in the same general-purpose datastore (i.e., not pub-sub, not opposite ends of a job queue), they're the same service.

Why? The whole point of a general-purpose database is to allow multiple applications to use the same data. Consider an online ordering system for merchandise. There's an service for checking product availability. There's a service for building a shopping cart. There's checkout and payment, the only one that faces the outside world that needs high security. There's customer order tracking. On the back end, there are various services which deal with fulfillment, shipping, accounting, and reordering. There may also be customer-relationship systems which can read order data for marketing purposes. Each of those functions can be worked on independently.
I don't think this is entirely true. Paris and Amsterdam are fighting for banks as well; in Paris all government-related stuff can be now done in English as well; in Frankfurt for some reason (German pride?) everyone is forced to use German and frankly learning German is highly non-trivial and a time-sink. As for Japanese banks, it makes sense; both because Frankfurt has a significant Japanese minority due to previous business choices and the mentality is similar as well.
I agree with this. I used to be a lot more down on his work, but it wasn't his fault so much as all the wannabes who bought it uncritically. (Much the same as stuff like Kubernetes--you aren't Google, they have Google problems, you don't have Google problems, stop automatically adopting Google solutions to problems that are a-web-server problems.)
what do you mean "change weekly"? if you mean minor semver nudges thats not material enough to be pertinent to the conversation
Au contraire – "freedom of labour" actually ended up being something of a euphemism for freedom of movement, sold in in such economic terms to make it palatable to conservatives (and to fit the theme).
It was an example with simple numbers. My goodness, I forgot how pedantic people are here. If someone does not understand that average is not median, then I'm not going to talk about standard deviation...
Yes, I just can't see how the UK will rise up and "become great again". That's my problem, all I see is an ex-empire clinging to the past. The history is lovely, the Royal Navy was unmatched for a while - nothing lasts forever though.

And with people like May, with their imbecilic policies and ideas, leading it? Please...

Furthermore, I like the idea of a united Europe, and I'd hate if the UK would allocate resources to undermine that (if Russia can, the UK certainly can).
Same reason as SV is relevant for tech.
I'm always late to the party. I'm the cleanup team :)
Did they? Where was the subsidy for shipping across the channel?
I guess it depends what I'm trying to debug, but one thing that seems to be missing from your wrapper is quick logfile inspection. Tailing the last n lines of syslog (or something more specific) is often a good starting point when diagnosing problems.

Perhaps something that performs basic connectivity tests might be useful, too -- pinging the router, an external IP (like 8.8.8.8), and a FQDN (like google.com) would be a good quick test of both internal connectivity, external connectivity, and DNS resolver.
No doubt, there are benefits in being ignorant. As they say, ignorance is bliss! And they are right; especially because truth is almost always confusing, unpleasant, troubling and often downright scary. Knowledge rarely brings happiness...
>Er, in this case the x% is like, 30+%. Lots of people take ski weekends in the winter.

But the reality is that the resorts make their profits off a tiny percentage of the clientele. The middle class family who stays in a budget hotel, buys season passes, and brings their own food, ends up being a net loss for the company.

Practically all the money is made on the full price daily ticket sales, expensive marked up restaurants, and high end real estate sales/rentals. Without the rich people who blow $20k on a week of skiing once a year, the industry as we know it simply would not exist.
That should be fixed.
Observing established patterns is dangerous?
There are also a lot of fintech firms which pay more, and specifically advertise themselves as more 'hip' (e.g. Jane Street et al). Though I would imagine the good jobs are very hard to come by these days.
There is copying and then there is copying well.

Almost every companies copies in some form or fashion - you'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't - but few really do it well. I would argue that Instagram did it very well and you can see it in the success. The product is well designed, extremely polished, is far more stable, is more engaging (for me), and more complete in my opinion.

I don't think your intended criticism has any value in the real world. It's a tired argument and deeply flawed.

I think the reverse argument is a stronger one. That is to say that SnapChat's core innovations that got them this far were closer to a commodity than is ideal for a business like theirs. This is something that SnapChat acknowledges in their own S1.

What I think investors didn't see or expect is:
* The extent to which the SnapChat feature-set was a commodity in a world where several other similar friendship and interest graphs exist.
* The speed and potency with which competitors like Facebook would attempt to compete. I think Facebook's strategy was far more successful than people were prepared for and that's reflected somewhat in the SnapChat stock price swings and analyst sentiment swings.
which aren't junk in your opinion?
>Why don't we just get rid of vaccination to prevent people like me from being born?

If you meant this in earnest, then you should know that there is no link between vaccines and autism. Even if there were, the comparatively low rates of autism we currently experience are a favorable tradeoff for the extremely high child death rates from common diseases we used to endure.

Technically, tests can be devised to extrapolate IQs to the 200+ range . One such test is reading age and talking age. If someone attains a cognitive milestone at such an early age that is only achievable by one in a billion people, the person has a 1/billion rarity IQ or IQ of 200 (assuming a SD of 15).
I wonder at what point the financial pressure to stop designing bad software becomes so high that it overrides the political pressures that created the bad designs and practices? To a community like HN it's just normal every day thinking to design even at least a decent web application, but at some companies that's seen as either visionary and impossible or even immature. But at some point it seems there would be so much money on the line to trim the number of man hours going into maintenance nightmares they would fix it. I sometimes wonder if big companies will wake up to this across the country and there will be big lay offs becuase they adopt modern architecture and they don't need so many people? Does this seem feasible or will conways law hold even as financial pressure to do better starts to really go up? Or will the rewrites take even more people and therefore there won't be layoffs/pressure on job market?
As someone close enough to London to be exposed to the ridiculous salaries on offer in all areas of finance, I couldn't agree more.

I think it's sad that people with a PhDs in physics/mathematics seem more likely to end up spending his/her time optimizing my car insurance premium than solving real problems.

I am curious what makes you think it is a banking city? Banking is pretty much electronic these days, so location shouldn't matter.
