Given developer x and developer y, each with adequate technical skills but poor teamwork abilities, there's some business value in being able to employ both given that the cost of dealing with their poor teamwork doesn't exceed the business value they can each deliver.

In the past we might have to decide to forego employing one or both. Now we kind of have the option of giving each dev their own "playground" via containers, and not actually expect either to improve their teamwork skills. Again, as long as the cost of supporting the container infrastructure is lower that the business value each dev can deliver, it's a net win.

In practice I'm not sure if containers can really deliver on this promise, but it's a very seductive idea.

This is a great plan! One change I'd make is to reduce VBTLX to below 5% when you're under 40 and gradually increase the bond holdings by 2/3% a year after that. More stock exposure means more returns.

Another thing to do if you want to get fancy is to shift some bond holdings to riskier or junk bond funds when you're younger, such as Vanguard's VWEHX, that will generate FAR higher returns than a typical basket of bond holdings.

This is all assuming the target retirement age is 65 or later.
Yes, but also some luxuries are way more expensive in Denmark compared to the US. Big houses and luxury cars for example.
> It’s not uncommon to freeze 3rd party libs

Sure. 3rd party libs your code uses directly.

Haven't seen it too much with 3rd party service providers code that are somewhat outside your code boundaries. Taking 2 different popular 3rd party SaaS that are included as JS in sites as an example.

Agreed, getting code into production faster is great and all, but if you don’t have a way to get bad code out of production quickly you might just end up with bad code in production more often.

I had never heard of sundown towns before this article and plan to read the book they link to in the article [1]. One silver lining of the last year or so for me, personally, has been a sort of awakening to the real issues that have persisted in the shadows of the US for marginalized populations. There has always been some level of awareness, but the very concrete and contemporary stories that seem to be pouring out currently have forced me to reconcile that much of the US population doesn't live within my progressive, city living bubble, and just how much worse things are in some places. I don't think I'm alone here.

Some other things I've heard that have reinforced this:

It is not illegal to trade on material, non-public information if it is not acquired from an insider with a confidentiality agreement and you don’t have such an agreement either.

I used to find, collect and analyze supply chain data to sell exceptionally accurate earnings forecasts to a variety of funds. In every case I can recall, the analysts at these funds were extremely careful to make sure the data was legally sourced. In one particular case, a competing firm became a bit overeager and used data that broke the terms of service of a company’s website - in doing so, they threw each fund they sold the forecast to into a compliance-mandated trading lockdown on corresponding equities and derivative securities once they disclosed to the funds that they overstepped.

People have a lot of misconceived ideas about what constitutes insider trading. Information asymmetry does not constitute insider trading. In fact, it would be virtually impossible to yield a positive return in trading were it not for information asymmetry. This is fundamentally why research departments exist.

I would recommend following the Docker Cloud approach: https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/builds/automated-testin...

It basically boils down to creating a docker-compose file for testing, and then running tests in it. How you run those tests is pretty much dependent on the type of service you run.

You may also want to institute health checks, either within Docker / Kubernetes, or full service monitoring from the outside.

> Lol, by that measure 80%+ of the US is poor.

Yep. Not really a laughing matter.

> Only 39% of Americans have enough savings to cover a $1,000 emergency

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/18/few-americans-have-enough-sa...

Relying on unemployment, disability, or having enough money (or, in most cases, credit) to "expense a hiccup or two" is not middle class. And people under 40 should have an easier time developing an emergency fund, because their expenses should be lower. People over 40 should have an easier time maintaining the emergency fund because it should be an investment account that they started before they were 30.

Your reply is a pretty good example of the amazing impact that political marketing has had on popular views towards wealth and poverty in this country. People have become entirely convinced that they aren't poor so long as they "can survive", that poverty is something that happens to the other people they hear about on the television.

$5500 a year, plus one vacation, plus building or maintaining an emergency fund, should amount to saving about $10,000 a year. The second-to-bottom, 15% tax bracket tops out at $37,950 for single people, and IRA contributions are 100% tax deductible, so you can safely gross up to $43,450 in that bracket. (edit: math.)

If it sounds difficult to squirrel away 25% gross annually in that bracket, that's because that's not the middle class bracket. It's the "poor" bracket.
This article talks mainly about the flaws in passwords. But I see no such flaws in an approach such as the following:

* Remember two passwords, both a series of words, preferrably esoteric ones not necessarily found in the dictionary, but this is not actually necessary!

* One is to log into the computer

* The other is to unlock the password db in an opensource password manager of your choice (such as pass or keepass)
The GDPR doesn’t ban backups. You must inform the subject of how long you keep those backups though.

And if you use a deduplicating backup system -- and you may have few viable alternatives at small scale -- the answer to that latter part will be "indefinitely". So yes, the GDPR does effectively ban backups, at least in this sort of scenario.

Reading the GDPR “at its bluntest” is not the correct way to do things

And yet there is nothing else you can reasonably do in the absence of more specific, enduring and legally binding guidance from your national regulator, and even that guidance is at risk of being overturned in court at European level.

It also means that if you know what personal data you have, what you do with it, disclose to the subject those things including who specifically you share it with, and protect that personal data like your business depends on it, then you’ll be fine because the point of the GDPR is that this is what you should be doing.

Nope, because the right to erasure is not negated because of those sorts of common sense, only specific criteria listed explicitly in the GDPR. And as things stand right now, that right to erasure immediately runs into all the issues of uncertainty raised by many in this discussion and other forums.

Re. My Library Is Not Loading!, a pretty useful trick to find what files are missing is to extend your path env var with an empty directory and then grep strace output for its occurrences, e.g.

mkdir /tmp/empty
LD_LIBRARY_PATH+=:/tmp/empty # or PATH, or PERL5LIB, etc.
strace -f program |& grep /tmp/empty

I had a need to track what files are used by what processes spawned by a program (to infer dependencies between the processes), and it seemed (and probably was) simpler to use ptrace directly rather than to parse strace output, so I wrote https://github.com/orivej/fptrace/ . Soon it turned out useful to dump its data into shell scripts that reflect the tree of spawned processes and let you rerun an arbitrary subtree. I mostly use it to debug build systems, for example to trace configure and examine what env var affected a certain check in a strange way, or to trace make and rerun the C compiler with -dD -E to inspect an unexpected interference between includes.
>>Lol, by that measure 80%+ of the US is poor.

No. It's not that most people can't save enough for retirement. It's just that they won't, due to a combination of bad habits and financial decisions.
Which to me points to an insidious problem that we should not be so blasee about--why is speech suppression going on in the first place? Why is it now illegal to speak out against certain ethnic groups or religious adherents fomenting violence in our cities and towns? Why is calling out the truth such a revolutionary and dangerous act that it is more serious than the actual physical violence taking place?

I look at what's going on at US campuses with great displeasure. It was the long game that he leftists played to take over our institutions and use their programming to convince people of social facts that are outright lies and misdirections. I see the children on those campuses who have very little understanding of history having been led, wanting to do good, but who are ending up doing such great harm to themselves and others. The worst thing about it is that those people are all so expendable--I won't use the common term, but it rings true here. Who did the Bolsheviks murder first as soon as they took control? The very same people that fomented the revolution in the first place! The street thugs and the organizers. I'm not saying it will happen in the US, but there are some pretty astounding parallels. I really think that free speech in the US is going to beat back the attacks on it, but I could be wrong.

The only reason to silence someone is if your ideas are so bad that they can't withstand the rays of sunlight. Marx's ideas are like that. Eugenics was like that. The reason these groups have gained so much power is because their opponents simply want to be left alone and not be forced to engage in defense against these idiotic attacks. It turns out liberty requires an active campaign of its own.

I don't personally buy into any of the ultra-liberal SJW programming. I was well subjected to it during my time in higher education and has only gotten about 10X worse since the late 1990s. I reject it out of hand--utterly. If a fight is what they are after, a fight they shall have. I won't live under their thumb, there's not a single reason in the universe to adhere to such stupidity.

If your portfolio allocation is incorrect, sure. But by the time people get close to retirement, most of their investments should be in bonds, which are quite insulated from the ups and downs of the stock market.
If you are a programmer with a good understanding of statistics, you can get access to legal data not reflected in market prices and profit on smaller capacities than hedge funds. In fact, you can achieve a Sharpe ratio comparable with the best modern trading strategies (albeit without specialized knowledge, infrastructure and a full team you won’t be doing it on billions in AUM).

I gave a basic guide for doing this with equity prices just yesterday in a comment here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16349011

The short version is that you need to find actionable data that reliably maps to the revenue of companies without many revenue streams, collect the data (basic programming skills), build a timeseries and forecasting model from that data (statistics and basic financial knowledge), then take a contrarian position when expected earnings are very far off from what your data predicts. This outline is structurally similar for non-equity securities.

Obvious caveat: I still basically recommend people invest in diversified index funds. But speaking as someone who has done what I just outlined, I see no reason not to give a clear-eyed explanation if you’re already set on active trading.

If the professionals all knew so much I'm not sure why those 18 people would have failed to turn a profit.

The only fact available here is that the internet went down at the Olympic grounds for a period of time. Nothing in the article about any sort of data leaks. If there was a "cyber-attack", it was a simple denial of service, not any sort of security breach, no scary videos being displayed on the televisions, etc.

Now, what seems more reasonable to you:

* The people responsible for handling internet services at the Olympic games were not prepared for the amount of traffic around the opening ceremonies, thus service returned after the opening ceremony.

* This was actually a DDoS, a deliberate attack by some nation-state seeking petty retribution, but they only wanted to do it during the opening ceremony.

Anyone who is not skeptical-by-default of anti-Russian stories in Western media has completely jumped the shark. If I was running the Olympics, the sole purpose of which is to display my country in a positive light, I'd certainly be looking for any excuse to cover up my incompetence. Much easier to say you're being "cyber-attacked" than it is to own up to the fact that you did a bad job ensuring that the Olympic grounds would have stable internet.

Yep, private entities should have every right to do (or not do) business with whoever they choose. One could even argue this was the intended meaning of "freedom of association" (if they wanted to get modded down in an practical display of this theory in practice if they were so inclined I suppose).

The main argument I usually see from the "pro-free speech" folks is once you give the government the power to ban "bad" speech then there's nothing stopping them from using this power against your "good" speech.
