been there. figuring out what you want to do and what you're all about is a process. totally healthy and normal.

i can't say i support all the advice on this board to find religion. but to each his/her own.

when i was in your shoes, i took some time off, traveled a bit. going to the gym and showering every day is a good plan. Get StayFocusd or similar browser extension, and set a 10-minute total-per-day limit on all news + social media between the hours of 7am and 10pm.

try a musical instrument. it's social, fun, challenging, there's no end to how good you can get if you stick with it, lots of lessons on youtube, and it's relatively cheap (eg - used stratocaster guitar and 20W practice amp, and some cables and a tuner and spare strings and an effects pedal or two and you're set for a long time for <$1K)

If you can afford to be idle, maybe try auditing some classes at your local university this semester. just browse the catalog and pick a few that sound good, nobody's going to notice you in a lecture with more than 50 people in it. computer science, economics, liberal arts, philosophy classes, whatever amuses you. you're learning something and college campuses are full of ideas and energy, and maybe it will inspire you.
An accident will happen yes. There are about 3,287 road deaths per day globally[1] already however so hopefully people will view this in context.

Can't say what you are supposed to do, but I have few ideas.

Go back to your roots. Since you are a Full stack dev, you probably know a thing or two about Computer Science. However, it is most likely true that you don't know a lot. Even when you are not interested, it's always good to learn something new about Computer science.
I can't stand the silicone cases. They are grippy (good) but are very difficult to get in/out of my pants pocket (bad). My wife likes hers, but it goes in a purse so she doesn't experience the drawback frequently.

I've been using the Apple leather cases for my last two phones (including the X). They aren't as grippy as the silicone cases, and they cost more, but I find they feel better in the hand and don't have the "stuck to my pocket" problem.

I used to be a "no case" person as well. I dropped my 3GS a half dozen times and it just got dinged up corners. Same with a Lumia after that. I dropped my Nexus 6 about 5 inches and the screen shattered. Started using cases after that.
Suggesting, as that article does, that dating outside your marriage "in the age of #MeToo and the spotlight on sexual harassment in the workplace, might be problematic for Alphabet" is a heck of a leap. Leading a possibly non-monogamous lifestyle is sexual harrassment/assault? Wow.
My previous employer in SEAsia is using Adyen, with majority customer in Europe and Aus/NZ. Hundred thousands of customer. I've never heard of Adyen before joining this company, but my experience with them has been positive. Not Stripe good, but at least on par with other modern payment processor.

Major upside for Adyen is they price match(at least for my company, we process USD ~350mil/annum). This may sounds crazy but my company constantly negotiate the pricing with them. Almost on monthly basis.

I knew this because my team have to work with lots of local and China-based payment processor to create PoC. Just so that corporate team can show this to Adyen and renegotiate the fee.
If you buy, you have expenses but any principal payments you make are wealth that you keep. So you can retire to Romania later if you feel like it. Getting paid Bay Area salaries and owning a home is a great way to build wealth even if you ignore the massive price appreciation.
I also like to ask myself, "Do I want to become an expert at working with external software X, or do I want to become the kind of person who can build software like X?"
Political stances are mutable. I won't argue your point about whether she should be despised for the rate of her mutability. I'm pointing out the flaw in your analogy. Someone taking a stance that contradicts a past stance is not in the same category as someone saying something that contradicts an observable/measurable quantity, unless you are in a possession of a mind-reading device and can observe Clinton's current belief regarding gay marriage.

Your analogy would work if you said liberals give Clinton a pass for flip-flopping while hating Trump for flip-flopping on abortion. AFAIK, liberals hate Trump for his current stance and actions on abortion rights, not for being a flip-flop (i.e. they'd be fine if the flip-flop happened in the other direction)
- Riding without a bicycle helmet: $319

- Riding furiously, recklessly or negligently (whatever that means): $425

- Cycling on footpath and over 12 years of age: $106

And people wonder why Australians break laws, these are fines in NSW (which includes Sydney).

Trundling down the footpath to the shops on a Sunday morning: $425 fine! No wonder Sydney is so car centric.
You can look at Super Smash Bros Melee for a game that has a competitive scene that has lasted a long time. It's more popular than ever at the moment with no updates or patches.

Portland is terrible. The homelessness is depressingly tangible, the streets are either full of crap or protestors, everybody is too white, and the weather is unpleasantly unremarkable.

I used to work for a big multinational with a Portland office and a Seattle office; the Seattle office is far nicer.
I don't find the glass back on the X to be very slippery at all in hand. My fingers stick to it quite well. It does slide on furniture, but in hand it feels pretty secure, especially relative to older iPhones. The 4 was easier to hold because it was just so small.
Also, its against the rules for recruitment agencies to post in this thread. Flagging.
You still have to define the state to solidify, whether that state is represented by a Docker image or not. That means you still have to script the system before you can crystallize it.

Any mistakes you make are still there, so the fact that your scripts are mistake-prone doesn't change anything either way. k8s doesn't help you there, it just adds a nice thick new layer of stuff to break.

Snapshotting state in opaque binary "images" via Docker layers/images is a different thing than constructing that state. You can't take a picture of something that doesn't exist. You can, and possibly should, use Docker and appropriate configuration management mechanisms together, but you definitely shouldn't pretend that they address the same issues.

Your systems scripted with configuration management will deploy the same way on any VM, local or cloud, and Docker. They all start from a base image, whether it's VDI, AMI, a Docker image, or whatever. It is true that Docker makes it faster to load different states than the other systems, but this has nothing to do with configuration management's role, and it also doesn't come for free; there are tradeoffs to consider here, as in anything else.

There are several on this forum who feel that their paychecks depend on the widespread adoption of k8s and/or Docker, and at least some have the ears of the moderators. I'd say at this point, you've revealed enough of your mindset, experience, and intention to make it clear that there is no point going further into this, so let's leave it here and move on. Especially since I'm not going to be allowed to reply, because YC specifically and intentionally doesn't allow k8s skeptics to post very much. Why is that an issue that HN has to create an artificial consensus around? Hmm...
> Time spent not doing our own designs (and instead spent memorizing how to use magical frameworks) is time not spent advancing our technical understanding.

I can't upvote this enough. I used to do mathematics, and there was the story of a professor would would hold up a book and say, "You should know everything in this book. But don't read it!" Which is to say, you have to go through the process of discovering mathematics to really understand it (maybe with a bit of guidance when you get really stuck). The skill of building complex software systems is no different.

The 8 Neural Network Architectures Machine Learning Researchers Need to Learn
I have seen sites where the "Download this foobar" link only works when the referrer is the "Details of this foobar" page, where the download link is placed. If you sent a referrer of some other page on the site, e.g. the "list of all foobars" page, downloads would fail.

Call-by-name is just syntactic sugar for anonymous functions. It has all the same problems.

But more importantly, the whole premise is wrong. "Cache invalidation" for data that has an average lifespan of 30 lines of code in a single function is not a hard problem. Real cache invalidation is hard for reasons that don't translate to the case of ephemeral constants with properly limited scope.
I too loved "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach", and read it all the way through before the semester even started.

Each chapter had a pithy quote at the start, and my favorite was the excerpt from the EDSAC instruction set:

Re-Architecture of Communications Systems in Cars as Sensor Data Explodes
The article reads as if this is health insurance, however it uses both terms health care and health insurance. Those are entirely different from each other.

One believes that preventative care will increase health, limiting the need for procedures and pills. The other believes that one can pay a lower premium (possibly through the state), betting on getting sick. These are opposite of each other.

I'm not saying this is bad - just that people have to know what is being discussed, or inevitably people will be disappointed.
I think people have a limit of the number of "things" they can learn too. One big thing is one thing, 10 tiny things are 10 things. 10 things you have to learn, and then figure out the optimal (or tolerable) way for them to all work together.

The original unix utilities had the benefit of (compared to now) being in a relatively simple environment, and a (much more) relatively small developer community, and a clear shared architecture understanding between and among utility and systems designers. They almost end up being more different commands or subsystems of one 'thing' then a 'thing' of their own. This is very hard to do. Unix succeeded because it was succesful at it.

Once, for instance, you say "oh yeah, we want just like this, except not just text streams", as you suggest -- it gets even harder. Especially in today's environment which is not that of the unix origin.
Portland is amazing. The food is great, the beer is world-class (and all sorts of weird little breweries can be found everywhere), the coffee is top notch and the selection of coffee shops is amazing, Oregonians are among the nicest people I've encountered in the United States, awesome Springs and Summers, lots of amazing nature nearby, no sales taxes, lots of art, lots of music, lots of cool weird music venues, people are incredibly environmentally conscious. All in all a great little city in my estimation.

What If GPS Stood for “Galactic Positioning System”?
It's turned out to become a standard for mobile developers due to the concurrent and async nature of the platform. As a side note, I've been working through ~10 different code bases during the last 4 years - every single one has included an Rx library. Scala, Java, Swift, Kotlin, C++.

My bet it's here to stay.

That's true for many issues like taxes, entitlements, gun control, immigration, healthcare, abortion, environment, etc.

However, it probably fair to say both parties have most candidates skewed to the middle on many of those issues. Lining up strongly with the party on all of those things doesn't win elections usually. And it's also fair to say both parties have members that will betray those base positions for wealth or power.

I can see why someone would call them similar based on frustration with a two party system that rewards moderates.
Nobody is willing to pay for any of that stuff directly so advertising is the only way to make money these days.
Do you mean that I can’t show that my ads produce positive return? Or that I can’t show that my clients are able to advertise in a way that wasn’t possibly before? Of course my experience is anecdotal, but I assure you that both of the above are true (for myself and for my clients, and for many others in my business)

Facebook is going all in on conversion optimization — "increasing ad efficiency" as you put it. They've gotten really good at it, and I think there's a whole lot of room for it to get much better. This is especially true for direct response ads, and you can bet most of the revenue will come from growth in DR.
Hi, it's called V2V in the automotive space. The US Dept. of Transportation has a thing called RITA (https://www.itscosts.its.dot.gov/ITS/benecost.nsf/SummID/SC2...).

As an aside, Federal Transportation guys don't bother invoking terrorism, they just go with "yeah these are two ton things moving around and we are the rule makers."

> If a major service blocks Firefox users it could lead to a massive boycott.

... of Firefox.

Most people don't care as much about their browser choice as about the ability to access those major services. I would continue using Firefox, but only because I don't care about most of the popular sites. The majority would switch browsers in a heartbeat.
For anyone considering any of these jobs I wouldn't recommend spending too much time on the application process as they do not respond in the positive or negative and leave you in limbo.
Work for a fairly large company and we've been working on GDPR since like last October. There is a lot of ambiguity on unstructured data that we don't parse/process (things like customer uploaded images, pdfs, etc) that seem to be confusing for product management and/or legal.

If a customer uploads an image or PDF and it's got a second customer's protection information in it, how am I supposed to know? It's just sitting in an s3 bucket without any introspection...

> The notch helps in securing the case.

"The notch" usually refers to the screen cutout for sensors at the top of the iPhone X screen, which has no relevance to the case. Do you mean the camera bump?

The iPhone cases from Apple would grip the same without the camera bump and corresponding case cutout. The sides of the apple cases wrap around all four edges of the phone, with only a partial cutout for speakers, microphone, and lightning port at the bottom. The edges of the case hold it very securely. It's hard to get the phone out because the edges grip so tightly.

> The changing shape of the notch also means that cases don't transfer between iPhone models.

The rest of the dimensions also change. If the iPhone 7 and 8 had the camera in the exact same spot, the cases still wouldn't be interchangeable. Not with a good fit on each phone at least.

> I guarantee Jony uses a case.

I bet he doesn't. People use cases to protect their phones. Ive could break a hundred phones and not feel any pain from replacing them.

Don't mind having a go at answering the appropriateness of this vector-based style, from a design/psychological perspective;

It might be inherent to the mathemetical precision of this drawing style. The clean-cut shapes and geometrical shapes imply a strict adherence to rules, purposeful determination and look clean, clear and predicatable.

In short: they make your product look well thought out.

As opposed to a sketchy drawing style. (Sketchy. What's in a name?)
... except that in the specific case of marriage equality, she was approximately always for civil unions that were fully legally equivalent to marriage, opposed in 2004 a proposed Constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman (even though the amendment would have permitted civil unions), and "changed her mind" (publicly endorsed same-sex marriages) in 2013, well before the campaign.

In particular, she's a United Methodist (as am I; I go to an ELCA congregation these days but the two denominations are in full communion), and the United Methodist Church still teaches that homosexuality is contrary to Christianity and does not officiate same-sex marriages. (Yes, the ELCA does do same-sex marriages, and no, I cannot explain how this interacts with full communion.) Going from "my religion teaches that it's wrong" to "... but that's just my religion, and the government should give same-sex couples the same rights, but the word 'marriage' is about religion and tradition" to "I support it" is a journey that lots of non-right-wing religious folks in the US, myself included, have gone through in approximately the same time frame as when Hillary did. I think Occam's razor should push us in the direction of believing that she's genuine, or we would otherwise need a reason why she's fake but lots of people of extremely similar religious and political positions have not been fake about the exact same thing.

Going a bit more broadly, I would argue that it is common for people to change their minds on political issues in lockstep with the median of people of similar political and cultural leanings, sort of by definition.

> The problem is that it could be a slippery slope with no transparency, oversight, or recourse.

There's actually a very simple recourse: don't pay them any more money or play the game. In this case, Blizzard is definitely more afraid of making their customers unhappy and turning off their funding, then the other way around.

Which is part of the reason why they have been very slow to act on some of this abusive behavior to begin with: players blame other players for abusive behavior, but they blame the company when they get banned.
And where are contemporary teachers supposed to live? The San Francisco school district is building what amount to dorms for teachers because the housing market is so distorted.
That's a really important review that is not showing up in the rest of this lengthy discussion.

The only way frequent upgrades are possibly sane is if you take backwards compat very very very seriously, and succeed at doing so. If users of k8 think it's doing that, that's important info.

(I think many of us are lately getting burned by a lot of open source software that _doesn't_ succeed very well at backwards compat (whether they're trying or not, sometimes it's not clear), _and_ expects you to upgrade all the time).
Interviewed here a few years ago and wouldn't recommend it. The interviewer I spoke with only wanted one solution (which they had conceived) to a problem they had and became very defensive when I explained potential engineering issues with their proposed solution and provided alternatives. Not very open to new ideas unless it's coming from the top level.
