Personally, I would love to see something like Lobsters [0] made general purpose. It's very HN like, but I love the ability to tags posts with multiple tags so that a single topic of conversation can belong to multiple subreddit-like communities. I've always wished that HN would co-opt that tagging. It seems like the best of both worlds (general front page and targeted communities) and naturally aides discoverability of interesting communities.

I always sensed a great tension between the engineers and the business people at Sun, to the detriment of both. The business didn't know how to drive and target sales, and the engineers built brilliant things (ZFS, dtrace, mdb, zones, internal high availability, firewall*) that customers weren't asking for.

I really do not expect such journalism from New York times,

>But a backdoor is not necessary. When a user installs Kaspersky Lab software, the company gets an all-access pass to every corner of a user’s computer network, including all applications, files and emails.

Isn't this true for all antiviruses.

>The Kremlin hacked our presidential election, is waging a cyberwar against our NATO allies and is probing opportunities to use similar tactics against democracies worldwide

Any proof for this?

Just realized that this was written by a Democratic Senator who took a stand against Kaspersky. That explains the lack of balance in the article and the tone.

Also. I would have a problem with any one having my data, be it Symantec and NSA or Kaspersky and KGB.

At some point you have to stop giving the benefit of the doubt. I draw the line where Google is unable to make a search page (that is making them the "x billion dollar" company in the first place) work with Firefox due to "lack of dev resources". Even though the only thing stopping the page from working in FF is a user agent check.

You are making exactly the same argument that Microsoft proponents were making when IE was bundled into Windows trying to push off other browsers. We don't have all the context, it must be too difficult to separate browser and OS code, etc

Unfortunately Hydra does not (and will not) support the resource owner password credentials (ROPC) grant (https://github.com/ory/hydra/pull/297#issuecomment-294282671)

I'm no security expert, but to my understanding the ROPC grant makes sense for highly privileged applications, i.e. 1st party client applications (e.g. main app website, main native iOS client) as explained by http://oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2/grants/passw...

I've been looking around in this space for OAuth and auth out of the box alternatives. I've tried Kong's OAuth2 plugin (https://getkong.org/plugins/oauth2-authentication/) but after trying to integrate it felt like I had to write more code than necessary. Also had to configure a lot of APIs, and felt like it was clunky to manage them that way.

I have also tried to play with http://anvil.io, but the authors are busy with another project (https://solid.mit.edu) so Anvil is taking a back seat. Even the Getting Started currently has known unfixed issues.

I am heavily investigating http://www.keycloak.org/, and so far I am really impressed. However though, to deploy you will need to delve into Wildfly/Java configurations. And of course, minimum 512MB to run any Java app on a node.

Dex is also advertised as a solution but it looks like the documentation could do with more information and improvements. https://github.com/coreos/dex Doesn't seem easy to just take and run.

Yeah, we pay. And no. The benefit is they take care of rendering, our test suite only has to send DOM (html) snapshots with static assets. We, in turn, get a consistent rendering environment that can rapidly render+diff 100s++ screen shots in a minute or two. The key benefit is that it doesn't take our test suite much additional time to do it since our side is lightweight.
And referential integrity, transactions, and SQL types are only dimly important in a Rails app or something in Node using Sequelize.

Plenty of apps--perhaps more apps than not--use a database as a vaguely typed (MySQL out of strict mode barely gives a nod to them) multiplayer notepad.

> Any anarchist would say that a free market is inherently oppressive.

When did anarcho-capitalists stop being anarchists?
> The Kremlin hacked our presidential election,

That's the first line in the article and is stated as fact, what's the evidence for that? How exactly did Kremlin hack our election?

Are they implying had it not been for their hackers we might have had Hillary as a president. I remember her campaigning in California multiple times and but I guess those sneaky Russian hackers changed her itinerary to never visit Wisconsin. They also forced her to setup that stupid server and send classified information over it. Then held the hands of her staffers as they smashed those blackberries with hammers.

Saw someone else here stopped reading at that line, and can't blame them. This is becoming like the WMD and the Iraq War story. At some point it becomes counterproductive to repeat it because it starts to work in the opposite direction. No doubt there it was a very well thought out PR campaign, but it's time to wrap up and move on.
What do you mean? This is _precisely_ what I'd expect. Hating on (neo)liberals like Hillary Clinton is damn near ubiquitous on left forums these days, as is dismissing what they perceive as shallow identity politics and conflating liberals with the right.

Um, will they? I've never heard of this happening.
I think that most anarchists and leftists are opposed to the Democrats as well as the Republicans, seeing them as similarly center-right on most meaningful issues.

It does sometimes result in funny moments like this where the critique of American liberal Democrats could easily come from either side.

The idea of the Russians hacking the election is just a signal of political bias. There isn't even any accusation of miscounting votes or any typical election fraud. US voters still got what they voted for exactly as the system is supposed to work.
Yeah, agreed. I'm sending them my resume.

They should ban all proprietary software instead, that way they will avoid the NSA backdoors as well.

> The left/right dichotomy doesn't work with anarchism

It works the same way with anarchism as it does in general; that is to say, it captures a real and major axis of variation among anarchists but not the only one. It actually works a little better with anarchists then it doesin general, because “anarchism” limits one of the other significant axes of political variation that exist in the wider society.

Interesting!

I grant that NeXT would have been more difficult for develop for when you did require parallelism for running compute intensive tasks on multiprocessor systems, but this was not the NeXT target market. BeOS got the ability to do parallelism by choosing the more fragile concurrency model, and apps paid for it in all cases. NeXT didn't do parallelism in the GUI apps, and was easier to develop for as a result.

Unikernels don't need a killer app, they need millisecond boot and teardown time from the major cloud vendors, along with suitable pricing.

Unikernels are a great technology and very much ready for prime time, but unless cloud vendors provide the millisecond boot/teardown/pricing, Unikernels will remain nothing more than a niche special interest technology.

All the technology is in place for Unikernels to take off once the cloud vendors get behind them.

I wrote Bootrino specifically for the purpose of booting Unikernels (and a whole host of other exotic tiny operating systems) on the major clouds and it works fine -
you can see a demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJhxmVlR46c (Bootrino not released to public as yet).

However, the real draw for Unikernels is short lifetime function as a service type applications.

> And the first thing they told us at the orientation is that they put the users first.

This is the company line, but the truth is that Google no longer knows itself. The orientation was designed in an era where Google was growing rapidly. The fear was that the early company culture of mutual trust and so on was likely to be diluted by the influx of new hires, so let's administer a proactive cultural injection.

But the reality today (err, 2015) is that the Google culture is no longer monolithic. Even basic day-to-day processes are different between Chrome and Android and Google and X and probably other teams I wasn't exposed to. The orientation has now become counter-productive for a large subset of the engineers, because it sets expectations wrong.

Examples: "Every engineer has access to all the source code." Or "no company code may be stored locally on a laptop." Or "every change must be code reviewed." These were company policies that were routinely violated by individual teams, which I only learned after daring to ask "how the heck are you getting your JOB done?"

Does Google "put the users first?" Depends on the org. In my admittedly brief tenure there, the most important consideration was internal politics, followed by "partner" and "ecosystem" concerns. Users registered but only distantly, mainly because we didn't expect many of them.

I think Modern Google can be best summarized with a company-wide goal of "be the most." Google Search as the most-used search, Android as the most-used OS, Chrome as the most-used browser, etc. If your revenue is based on page-views, and page-views are based on click counts...

"Most" is different from "best."

Edit: I feel obligated to clarify how the "we didn't expect many users" comment meshed with the "be the most" principle. I was a software engineer in a hardware org (think Pixel). The point of high-end hardware like Pixel was not to dominate the market, but instead be a prestige product that moves expectations. By building a MBP-level laptop, Google could demonstrate that ChromeOS is not just for throwaway laptops, and thereby make ChromeOS viable on its partners high-end hardware. Being too successful was an anti-goal, because it risks scaring off Samsung and the like.

The hope was not to single-handedly dominate a la Apple, but rather to foster the "ecosystem." As to users, well...they'd be better served indirectly by a robust ecosystem. Or at least that was the hope.

You'll notice that Google does not build low-end hardware, with the notable exception of Chromecast, which is another story.
Which just goes to show that reducing politics to a simple "left-right" axis is part of the problem, and not particularly helpful.
When I hear this kind of comment I wonder about the mention of "junior" and "senior".

If I may suggest that the title 'junior' or 'senior' is artificial and generally unhelpful in the sort of quest you are on. If that sounds harsh I apologize, when I see development resumes I don't see "levels" I see strengths and weaknesses.

A developer that can pick up a frame work quickly and be productive in it is "strong", one who continually re-factors the problem so that they can re-use the framework they already know is "weak." A developer who can discuss the trade-offs between multiple frameworks in terms of solving the needs of performance, manageability, or resource usage is "strong", one who only knows the trade-offs and pitfalls of the framework they are most familiar with is "weak." Developers who are working on improving their understanding and craft are "strong", developers who are don't understand why their particular framework does something the way it does are "weak."

That is a lot of admittedly contrived examples but I hope they illustrate the kind of developer I look for when I'm hiring. If you have 10 years writing code I want to see a wide understanding of a lot of different systems, if you have 2 years writing code I want to see you understand the key design elements of the systems you are using, and have some idea of why those design decisions were made. It is the difference between being able to code, and code fluency.

So to answer your question, if someone wants "years of experience in a stack" then they may be using that as a filtering mechanism to get rid of people who are unsure of their abilities. I remember reading advertisements in 1998 for people with "5 years experience in Java" when Java had really only been released (early alphas in 1995). I wondered if they were just trying to hire folks who were part of the original team (which went back to 1991 :-). Talking to recruiters though, they were really looking for people who were so excited about Java that they had done an in depth dive on their own. Perhaps you are seeing something similar.

My advice to you is to lead with your strengths. If you have examples that demonstrate those strengths or projects which demonstrated them put them in too. Be honest with yourself about your weaknesses and think about ways to you can eliminate them. Be the strongest developer you can be and always work one ways to develop additional strengths. The rest has, in my experience, taken care of itself.
If you do and you happen to be in the bay area, I may need to borrow them. :-)

I thought about that machine and I wondered which would be more interesting... Trying to get a recent OS on there or maintaining a more typical 90s setup? Somehow I think the latter is more fun.
> for biological organisms, it's all about reproductive success

Another way of putting it - the source of meaning is life, or death (prolonging life, avoiding death as much as possible). Reproduction is just the start of life. From this game of life and death come reward signals that teach us how to act in the world (our values).
Fast Radio Bursts: Repeated Signals Detected from Distant Galaxy
The issue with this, that you have to focus on the largest group of users so you can "improve the lives of millions of people" is that it doesn't make sense: Google has hundreds of billions of dollars in cash they literally can't decide how to spend.

Clearly, they have enough money to "improve the lives" of more people, so that answer doesn't satisfy. However, the idea that Google is first and foremost a business which makes money at any expense, and it isn't profitable to support a competitor's browser, does.
I enjoy challenging myself in little code golfing here and there and writing things as short as possible and sometimes trying to do as few lines as possible seems better. In reality f the line count and write more clear short horizontal lines so when someone brings up your code in a tiny terminal window they can still read your thoughts like a book.
