Yes I think i understand now. But doesnt this line of reasoning lead to an absurdity? As in “this article is poor because if neglects the edge case if someone living in his van and saving 80% of his NYC salary.”

Traefik can simply request certificates using the DNS verification method, as opposed to the certbot HTTP verification. (HTTP would not work with a distributed setup like this.) Alternatively, Traefik can also synchronize certificate requests using one of the many key-value stores supported (untested as of yet).

The drawback of the DNS method without synchronization between the nodes is that you run into the LetsEncrypt rate limit quite easily. My expansion to ap-southeast-1 and sa-east-1 is waiting for the LE cooldown.

Nice idea, I would take part in something like that too.

OpenType is technically Turing Complete, however the usual way is to just cycle through letter form variations.
I find this observation really interesting! I've found that 10 years ago I was a more 'mature' full stack developer - I did front end, backend and ops type stuff. As complexity has grown I've absolutely shied away from keeping up with anything on the frontend and I avoid ops things as much as possible. It's probably not very wise on my part. These days I would absolutely not be able to call myself a full stack dev.
I got my Gmail account in late 2004 and there was a lower limit on username length then.
Could be both. Could be too many badly trained people and too many people who are "good enough." I know plenty of bootcamp developers who have successfully gotten a job.
This seems like a pretty common misunderstanding of the point of recruiting events.

The recruiters aren’t there to let you know they’ve got jobs. They’re there to talk in person to young people, and figure out which ones have passion for the company/project/etc., and put the passionate people’s resumes at the top of the queue.

If you just pick up a business card, it’s indistinguishable from being a cold call/spray and pray resume sender; companies and recruiters get so many of these there’s a good chance no human ever even looked at your resume.
What’s the counterargument to all this doom and gloom?
> Your reading comprehension suffers under your fragile ego. Nobody said 'senior developers shouldn't be coding'.

That is exactly what the post I was responding to said, and I've quoted it several times. Here it is a gain, since you keep glossing over it:

> You don't hire senior devs to code - good junior devs can code not only "just as fast", but probably faster too!

> "Mentoring" is basically the job you hire a senior dev to do

So, yes, the person I responded to said "senior developers shouldn't be coding'".

> You being a certified 100x rockstar developer is totally fine but irrelevant, because you don't scale.

How so? I'm a mentor as well as a developer. In addition to doing my part to train the next wave of devs, I also code my ass off. What part of that doesn't scale?

> You missed the point completely.

No. That's what you did though. And are increasingly insulting about it as well.

> You're part of the problem the article addresses, don't you realize?

Who's talking about the article? I was talking about the bogus "point" in the post I responded to.

Reading this is surreal, like Opposite World. You are selling me on quiet, wifi & power, at the price of your fancy coffee (and preferably even real food), so I can work/read/study in nice atmosphere. Why else would I tolerate paying nearly $6 for a latte and $5 for a muffin? If all I want is to get coffee itself and immediately hit the road, I can go to coffee stand or vending machine.

"Your $3 coffee doesn't entitle you to sit for an hour." First, perhaps I'm typically more than the average user, $3 coffee sounds either horrid or a miracle. Second: Why not? Isn't that the whole point? You're luring me to come in & buy your wares so that I get the benefit of sitting for a while and do my thing, whether it's read a book or work on my laptop.

To the people who see silence & laptops as bad in and of themselves: who are you to prioritize talkers over non-talkers? In my mind and those of many near-university dwellers, cafes are precisely for sitting, reading, working, not for having (sometimes loud) conversations that disturb those around you.

Finally, I'm not aware of "taking up space", as there are typically multiple empty tables at the (independent, non-Starbucks) coffee shops I go to. Maybe this article applies to high-volume areas & times, but I'm not interested in such places anyway.

TL/DR: If you ban people working and studying on laptops, that will just be even less revenue for your establishment, because that is the only reason many of us showed up. Ration out the wifi with time limits and access codes on receipts if you like, I'm fine with that, otherwise just be happy I'm there rather than having yet another empty table.
> Wouldn't that favor the existing financial authorities since they already have so much computing power and resources to begin with?

Oh, yes - absolutely. You can't escape existing systems of power by moving into the cloud. It's just a form of digital escapism.
I imagine it is thinking along this lines...

https://totalqualitymanagement.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/cost...

Definition of cost of Quality It's a term that's widely used – and widely misunderstood. The “cost of quality” isn't the price of creating a quality product or service. It's the cost of NOT creating a quality product or service. Every time work is redone, the cost of quality increases. Obvious examples include: The ...
plain ol'. Currently I dont even have this running on a VPS yet. I am just using a Mac Pro in my house, lol. But I am not "live" yet.
In regards to 4 more than twice as many people take buses trains and the tube than drive cars for commuting. This includes everyone who commutes into the city from outside it too so capacity wouldn't need to be doubled.
https://londondatastore-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/Zho%3Dttw-fl...
Also not every increase of capacity costs £20bn. The northern line has increased capacity by 10% by upgrading signalling. New trains will increase it by 10% again.
I’ve heard that infrastructure projects take a long time to get started. So the ideal time to launch an infrastructure bill might actually be during a strong economy.
Whatever you do, start off with a story that will grab their attention. Maybe a hack you saw first hand, maybe a story of a seemingly innocuous social media post leading to unforeseen consequences, maybe youtube or twitch stars getting SWATted, anything to grab their attention and make them think right off the bat.
I'm not sure how Germany organizes their rail systems, but I'm guessing the rail companies profit from increased property values like in much of the world. This makes free public transport potentially workable (and even profitable) at least in the subway aspect. The US does not exercise a system like this in the vast majority of cases.

Of course, there's also the fact that if you have a well-designed system, free transport should encourage a lot more economic activity that'll pay back into the funding of the system. That's another thing many cities in the US lack.
> In London if you switched everyone who was driving to public transit you'd need to double the capacity to do so

I sincerely doubt that. With trains every 2-3 minutes and 500-1000 people per train, each tube line transports probably at least 2-3 people per second in each direction. The road traffic above the surface is a fraction of that. Removing all cars from the road (most of which aren't private cars anyway) during peak time would maybe increase demand by some 5-10%.

That's different for trains, obviously. To replace the M1 North of London you'd need to increase train service significantly.

Yes. Google, as literally the main portal to all online information for nearly everyone who isn't in China, has a moral obligation to do a good, impartial job. If it wants to fail at that in order to serve its financial interests, then it ought to be quickly broken up into a million pieces.

And while I don't think she should lose her job because of five year old tweets that aren't the greatest, I understand where NYTimes would be at: Their first and foremost responsibility is to their brand and reputation.
Ya I agree (as a ham). No point in using internet linked repeaters as a reason to get into ham radio. If you have a ham radio, sure, play around with it, but it is kinda pointless. It doesn't exactly teach you how to communicate when the internet doesn't work. -K0COW
In Seattle the “Ride Free Zone” caused the busses to be used as makeshift homeless shelters.

This lead to a common sentiment that busses were smelly, unsafe places, and it was eventually scraped.

(Germany seems to have less of a homeless population than West Coast cities, so perhaps this won’t be an issue for them.)
On the Joys of Coworking
Also, PoPs in some regions are often nearly useless even if they exist on paper.

For example, Cloudflare has a PoP in Seoul, but it has such limited bandwidth that most sites using Cloudflare are routed to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and even Los Angeles. Several of my clients in Korea signed up for Cloudflare a few years ago when the local PoP was still usable, but now all but two of them have canceled their subscriptions. Instead, I've been building a lot of caching proxies for them lately.

If anyone is here for the Winter Olympics right now and some of your favorite sites don't seem to be living up to Korea's reputation for ultra-fast internet, Cloudflare might be one reason. (Meanwhile, Amazon's PoP in Seoul is perfectly fine, albeit expensive.)

In today's environment devotion to a company is most likely a losers game unless you have lots of equity. When they offered pensions and more job security this may have made sense.
"A key development is the Multi-Voltage Power Supply (MVPS), which interfaces with multiple electric outlet connection types on ISS and provides a multitude of power output capabilities for our current and future ARISS operations and amateur radio experimentation. It will also allow our Ham Video system to have a dedicated power outlet, eliminating the outlet sharing we have now, which shuts down Ham Video at times."

Looks like quite a feat to qualify a spacecraft power supply!

Question for hams: since USB Power Delivery can supply 20V at 5A, might USB serve as a standardized power source for radio amplifiers? How "clean" is the power?
One suggestion to avoid the PDT rule (and in general be more efficient with your capital) is to look at futures. For instance rather than trading SPY trade ES. ~8k per contract minimum to control ~140k (50*Index Points) of the SP500 and no PDT.

> accountants leave school fully capable of employment

Well, fully capable of entry-level employment. Anyone who graduates from a reputable school with a Comp. Sci. or InfoSys type of major is also fully capable of entry-level employment.

Accountants aren't really capable of anything but grunt work until they pass the CPA which normally is after several years of grunt work and additional learning and study.

Programmers aren't much good in a business until after several years of actually programming business systems.

It doesn't seem to hard to understand to me, in fact they seem quite similar.
I don't think it was out of left field, and I've had similar discussions about Terry here in the past. I can definitely understand why you emphasize with Terry, and why you leapt to his defense. It's good to see that he's got allies and people willing to speak for him - too many people aren't really willing to try to understand what he's going through, and just paint him as a villain. Other people, though, take the opposite approach and paint him as a saint, willing to paint over the negatives.

“App Developer” bamboozles Redditors as a millionaire using verified profiles
Yes, it depends on other factors too. But for instance in Poland during the time of the hyperinflation of the Zloty plenty of people paid off their mortgage that way.

Banks got hip to that pretty quickly and later mortgages were in Euros while the salaries are still in Zloty, which should be illegal imo.
As always, some variation of “it’s different this time.”
> There were never any junior dev jobs

Going to co-op and internship fairs at local colleges, and then hiring those co-ops and interns is a great way to get junior devs. My company even classifies applicants for positions as junior / intermediate / senior as a part of deciding to interview. I realize you are being hyperbolic, but there certainly are paths for junior developers, even though they may be lacking. At least at many places in my city.

> Then companies will learn that they can't skimp on middle management for software developers. Some companies will need to give software a legit seat at the table and hire upper management.

You mean, like CTO? This is what the CTO is supposed to be, right? And you see in startups, usually it's two major players, the "business / sales guy" and the programmer: i.e. the CEO and the CTO. Maybe in finance or other industries I'm not as familiar with, it's totally different. But most tech places that employ programmers I know of have at least a CTO that is a prior programmer, if not a VP of software engineering.

> If you are a software developer nearing the middle or end of your career, you're pulling the ladder up behind you if you don't seriously consider moving into management. It's too important a job to ignore to go chase your dreams.

AFAIK, Google Now, which is well baked into Android uses RSS feeds. It might not be that people subscribe to them manually, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who do consume content from RSS feeds through things like Google Now. I personally find it nifty to receive updates on blogs according to my search history.
I'm not "triggered", no (not a fan of whiteboard interviews), but that's exactly the kind of language that will catch you downvotes.

And I explicitly said "insulting to people good at whiteboard interviews", not objects (your comment could be read as dismissing them all as book-thinkers without actual skills). Given the amount of people on HN from companies that do this kind of thing, it only takes a tiny percentage to feel that way to downvote you a few times.
Arango isn’t the clear winner in all of these. Unconfigured PG did pretty good. PG with JSON and no indexes did well too. It also held its own using less memory. Finally, PG has transactions where as Arango doesn’t really if you have an index constraint on a document attribute. This shows Arango is better than Neo4j and Mongo for graph resulted service and document store. It skipped PG’s recursive capability that probably allows for basic graph traversal to a known depth.

What are you going to do, switch to another water utility?

They could just wait to clean up their act once they see competition on the horizon (or just go through the motions), which would more than likely scare that competition off. Building a water utility isn't cheap and I doubt there would be enough profit in a competitive environment to justify the cost.

Not really. It's not about starting a lot of public transport companies, more about expanding the existing ones. Public transport is heavily regulated in Germany, you won't find more than one provider in most cities (mostly because it's loss making).
Yes, because they learned. Arango has honest people that are open to criticism.
It's a classic example of loss aversion[0]. In my mind the real loss risk of this venture is the opportunity cost spent developing the algorithm. Many people that fail to build trading algorithms would have been very successful if they invested their time/expertise doing something else. The person stands to lose not only his cash investment, but all of the cash he could have received if they focused their efforts on a less risky venture[1].

I think I can understand part of the reason why - it's kind of a gatekeeping device. You're guaranteed to meet someone who at least has one interest similar to yours, and someone who's gone through the trouble of getting a license and a radio. It's not like going to ChatRoulette and clicking around until you get tired of seeing genitals.
This is the problem with the big tent. My primary concern in the 2016 election was media propaganda. I voted for Trump in California, where it would never, ever, matter, as a protest vote. That makes me a deplorable racist? :)

I don't know about setting up VPS, but the standard way to use IB is to run their main client (either the GUI-based "TWS" or the GUI-less "IB Gateway"), then connect to the main client. Your binary is totally separate from the main client, which you do not modify.

You will see as economy gets stronger deficit will shrink which is what you see in the late 90s and toward the end of W the era. When Financial crisis hit the deficit grew as government pumped in money to stabilize the system and as the economy grew better under Obama the deficit shrunk. The economy is pretty strong by most measures so you would think the deficit would shrink. However with tax cuts and spending increases that is not going to be the case.
I had somehow missed this; this is excellent news! The Oracle port of DTrace to Linux is (far and away) the most complete port; Kris van Hees and team did a very thorough job[1], and I'm elated (and honestly, surprised) that they somehow prevailed on Oracle to do the right thing here!

I don't think that this is such a good idea, as mentioned above by others, during peak hours the trains are almost over capacity (At least in Munich where I currently live). Making them free would lead to a degraded experience for everyone.

One of the major reasons that I am not in favor is because in Pakistan ( where I am originally from) they launched a Metro Bus service a few years ago, the fare was a nominal flat rate ( ~ 15 euro-cents) for traveling as much as you can in one direction. Now although it is a great service for the people but the buses are always over crowded, and because they are incurring a loss and the government has to spend millions of dollars per year in subsidies just to keep it afloat; They have not upgraded capacity and it is really inconvenient to travel on those buses ( I remember getting sick 4-5 times a year when I regularly traveled on those buses).

A better solution would to be start banning the diesel engine, ramp up the taxes for fossil fuel based cars. And to force factories to reduce their carbon emissions.
Sounds like an opportunity for an ICO called SETIcoin.

They can both raise funds and if they figure out how to run their algorithms via smart contracts also get access to much more hardware ala BOINC.
