Motivation for writing this tool will hopefully be made clear by the following abstract:

--------

Service discovery has been made too complex by combining it with orchestration. There are too many beasts-of-a-tool out there that do too much, and yet can't do versioned microservice deployments.
This talk will walk you through 100 lines of Node.js code with no dependencies other than redis, and implement a discovery service with the following features:

1. Semantic versioning of services:

Services depend on specific versions of other services, so v1.2.3 & v1.3.0 can both be live, and you kill off old services that have no users.

2. Live health checks with inversion of responsibility:

Don't ping a service under high load with status & health checks, instead let it ping back when it can. If it can't ping back because it's near-capacity, then don't route any more traffic to it!

3. Mocking services during testing & development:
Should not have to bring up the entire microservices stack to develop one of them.

4. Randomized scheduling:
So you don't starve any one service, instead pick one at random from the ones available & healthy.

5. No highly-available service discovery service:
Solving the chicken & egg requirement of a highly available service discovery service, in order to enable other highly available services. Only the service discovery database (redis) needs to be distributed.

A surprising number of tools out there simply fail to provide these set of features together, and yet pack in too many other things they want to do. This talk does the above in easy-to-understand 100 lines of Node.js code that you can use & modify with confidence!
Twenty years from now plug a new USB-C cable into something manufactured twenty years ago and it may work too. You know what might not work too great now over Ethernet even if the connector works? An IPX/SPX device, since there's nothing to connect to on the other end. Your Ethernet network will be functioning perfectly, but you'll find yourself having trouble getting internet access because your router/firewall/etc are all running IP.
Just limit the number of environments and keys that can be managed on each tier. 3 environments and 5 keys at the low end, 20 and 50 at the high end with a "call us" option for super heavy use.

Even if you can't rate limit in your current release it's in the license and when you can you move people up to a higher tier. This solves the issue of charging larger customers more without them getting more value.

Unlimited number of users, files, etc should never be part of a public pricing tier. Fine for a negotiated agreement with an enterprise that has a definite period - it's a great thing to concede to close an enterprise deal and should be essentially costless. When it is in a public price list it makes larger sales much, much harder.
All of those things that you listed are things that you should have done a long time ago, before you started collecting and storing the data.
i got so deep here, i went and looked at US Census Building Permit data for MSAs: https://standupcalifornia.com/peers

This is all primary research. The most shocking piece was that cities like Sacramento are permitting half as much housing per capita as peer cities like Seattle. Land is not the issue—this is a policy failure.

But, we can fix it :)

> it costs too much to live here because of zoning

I am somewhat skeptical of a large complex problem having an easy, magical, fix-all solution.

LA construction (downtown area specifically, which is close to transit and zoned for pretty much anything) is booming https://la.curbed.com/2017/1/23/14364926/cranes-los-angeles-... but the dream of the dirt-cheap units remains a pie in the sky http://www.ladowntownnews.com/news/when-it-comes-to-affordab...

And it's not because developers dislike money.

1) Construction labor is expensive in California, a good number of occupations (electricians, etc.) are unionized, which leaves little alternative.

2) Code compliance is expensive, and not just in some bureaucratic-red-tape way. Coastal California is on a fault line, so there are earthquake safety regulations, fire code requirements, etc. Folks from Millennium Tower in SF probably wish there were more regulations as far as ground inspections and surveys.

3) Parking spaces are expensive to build and are still required by the building codes. As millennials mature, public transit use is declining and car ownership is on the rise https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/01/31/80354/transit-ridership...

4) Land near transit hubs is not cheap.

5) Modern construction materials are not getting cheaper.

6) Unless you're a giant construction firm, there are waiting times associated with heavy equipment, such as building cranes, bulldozers, excavators, etc. as it's typically leased and it might be contracted out to another job.

Unless you are able to procure a major cost advantage on building materials, labor costs or skirt a few regulations in the building code and get away with it, you're unlikely to end up with very cheap housing in a major city.

One difference is that with a industry/geography isolated crash, we are unlikely to get the kind of federal stimulus support that we saw in response to the Great Recession.
From a near-miss in my own life: A bubble that bursts may look a lot like The Great Recession. A bubble that bursts just after you move to a new city, where you don't have any professional track record? That's worse. A bubble that bursts harder in the new city than in the one you came from? I'd think hard before I signed up for that...

Indie titles shipped using OpenGL ES on PS3 and indies got Sony to eventually release an OpenGL wrapper for PS4 as well. If you want decent portability and all your game does is draw alpha blended sprites with simple shaders it could be a win. Questionable how much better that is than either making your game with a portable engine like most indies are doing, or using gnm directly.

Indeed.

We store data encrypted because it

A) leaves no room for misunderstanding with different regulators or their respective auditors, and

B) provides a computationally infeasible barrier against accidental personal information disclosure even if the storage system was improperly decommissioned

Point B in particular can be explained to auditors without problems. They understand both the intent and the technical measures put in place. But how we store data is only tangentially relevant to how we handle data. Let alone what we need to collect in the first place.

Yeah the people who think this is a bad thing are pretty confused. The real story here is that everybody in California is becoming very highly educated [1]. California is experiencing a remarkable brain gain as the best and the brighest in the world relocate to the state. This may drive out lesser educated Americans but the idea that this is a disaster or a bad thing is mistaken. California's future is very bright (even if too much value gets captured by real estate speculators.)

Errr, Eistein fully accepted (as did most others fairly quickly) that quantum mechanics was real -- in fact the duality of wave + particle for photons was something he developed (as part of his developing the theory that explained the photoelectric effect).

The "does not play dice" was mostly with regard to Heisenberg, in which he was determined to find a way to avoid the predicted lack of predictability of the future.
Yes, I should say: I live in Washington, DC, where not having a car is super doable. I know there are studies here that show this effect, and in NYC where car ownership was already rare it's even more pronounced. Overall I suspect that it's much stronger in these places, or in Boston (the subject of the article) than in SV; these are cities with robust transit systems designed before the advent of the personal car.
Well, we didn't run GUI desktops on them, they were headless firewalls, so I can't really comment as to how well graphics works, much less 3D acceleration. We weren't running Geodes either, as IIRC that was the super low power and low performance variation and didn't match our needs.

> Unfortunate reality of CA is that or every resident that's moving out there are two people going to take their place.

Actually, for every 6 moving out, 5 are going to take their place, per the article. But I suspect that a lot of the out migration isn't from the urban economic powerhouses and most of the in migration goes to them, so that for urban California, your statement may be closer to true, though exaggerated.
It must be vague to deal with unforeseen challenges of the future, just like the Hippocratic oath. A lot of the difficulties we encounter today had no analog 30 years ago for most programmers, and who knows what quandaries will arise in the next 30?
Of course when the bad ideas bear their dark fruit, they will be hard to change too.

But more seriously can you expand more on this "almost everything is written into the constitution"? Is this a back-door way of getting Swiss-style direct democracy. Skimming wikipedia it seems that amedments are passed by a referendum approving a legislative proposal (and this processes has happened hundreds of times).

if this is the only practical way of creating legislation, then you basically have the people as a third house of the legislature.

Like brexit and the over 70 crowd, how many Californians are voting for laws that they will not be around to see the results of?
It's pretty clear what they meant, but humorously even your rewording isn't accurate.

A named generation is static, based on the birth dates. The "20-35 age range" is dynamic, anchored to the present time.

Also, named generations (like "Millennials", "Gen Y", "Gen X", "Baby Boomers", etc) don't have rigid definitions. Some media groups define it as starting as early as 1976 and others as late as 1984, which is 50% of your "20-35" range.

In the end, the boundaries of named generations are more or less arbitrary unless there is an extremely specific event which defines it (Baby Boomers started with an explosion of birth rates immediately after the end of WW2).

No, they didn't get "snake oil." The particular foster care facility (or government) required a dog visiting their children to be licensed by ${company} before it was allowed into the facility. The GP had their dog go through the requirements ${company} specified and ${company} gave the dog their seal of approval.

It's exactly like if a company requires you to get a professional certification from, say, Oracle.

It's also pretty reasonable. if they are going to let dogs around their residents that they'd want a third party making sure the dog has a temperament suitable for that and certain amount of training - the facility doesn't know how to tell if a dog would be fit for that purpose.

It's like saying getting your video game rated by the ESRB is "snake oil" because "there's no legal requirements or standards for rating video games." Yet if you want to sell your video game at Walmart or Toys R Us you're going to have to get it rated by the ESRB.

You're also confused about where the "reasonable accommodations" comes in.
It's been almost 20 years since Pete Wilson was governor. In the meantime, the GOP has moved quite a bit to the right, and CA as a whole has moved left on most issues. If anything, it looks like the remaining red districts in places like Central Valley could be at risk as first generation Latinos hit voting age and start to outnumber the conservatives.

Much of the potential 2018 shift in Congress may come from CA, for example:
http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/369254-perfect-storm...

Eg for the Central Valley districts:
"Walters’s district has grown by 33,000 residents, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures. Of those new residents, 30,000 are nonwhite. The white population actually declined in Royce’s district while the overall population grew by 10,000 residents. In Denham’s district, 17,000 of the 21,000 new residents are nonwhite."

(Not to mention the new tax plan was hugely unpopular in CA in general.)
No, there isn't. I am on TC39.
It's also noteworthy that a lot of people from Illinois are moving to California even though California income taxes are higher. It seems to me that the California outmigration is mostly from economically depressed parts of California, not from LA or Bay Area.
It's all about who your TAM is. A good TAM will have your back from the jump. A bad one...not so much.
I realize this can be a little bit (sometimes more than a little bit) of a development overhead to manage, but isn't the right way to do this is to only require the minimum oauth scopes upon signing up, then add additional scopes and re-auth at the time it's needed (i.e. when someone wants to perform an import)?
I'm not sure of the context of that, but it seems like you probably could have used a closure to do that in a much less hacky way.
That's the cliché but it seems a bit unfair, because in my mind, "rural" evokes small towns of 21 people and vast expanses of farm/ranch land. My hometown has a population of about ~70,000 spread out over 55 square miles (~1,300 people per square mile); is that "rural" or "urban?"

What I'm getting at is, it's more precise to say "most of the US--rural and urban--is red, while the densest population centers are overwhelmingly blue."
I'm mystified as to why big Californian cities still put parking on building codes. NYC and Chicago have accepted that parking isn't a right, and parking regulations here make it feel like more of the same NIMBY-ism that retards growth in the state.
Monkey patching is something that you should know how to do. And then learn not to do.

Monkey patching is how you get into situations where the order in which libraries get loaded causes software to unpredictably work or break. Or, worse yet, to work reliably on the developer's machine and break in the wild. (Because the external library on someone else's server loads slower for the developer than their local library, and faster for some users.)
Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't do that.

Once you have speed & navigation on the windshield you don't look elsewhere for that information. It's easier and safer, so it feels like a new standard. When I drive other cars it's something that I really miss.
"As anywhere, you'll have a diverse set of friends/acquaintances in your hometown, but if you come to SF for tech reasons, chances are, you'll only meet tech people."

It's not even remotely the same "as anywhere". If you come to SF and live a middle-class life, you'll be surrounded by tech people. It breaks down on economic lines -- well-off people are in tech (and perhaps law and medicine), and everyone else is struggling.

Can you make friends outside of your industry? Sure, I had plenty. But it was increasingly difficult to meet those people without making a conscious effort to do so, and that's the difference.
DigitalOcean is not comparable to EC2 unless you are literally-literally only using compute. The second you want a network that is private to you or any sort of hosted solutions for stuff like SQL databases, DigitalOcean folds.

I use AWS despite the (moderate, and with reserved instances largely nonexistent) premium on compute because of everything else that's right there.

i too am skeptical of magical fix-all solutions, but I actually believe this could be a silver bullet. many of the issues you describe are circular—construction costs are high because labor is expensive because housing is expensive... the root cause is that california has stifled supply.

> What about those who have pet allergies?
> Or people with life experience that makes them afraid of dogs

These are quite rare, but they happen, and the solution has always been easy and amicable: move some people around, with the dog owner making the most compromise.

> Do we need to have pet friendly/no pet flight options?

This would be great. Right now even with ESA's there is a limit on the number of pets that can be on a flight, so you would have to find a different flight if the one you wanted already had some. By no means am I suggesting there should be a free-for-all. Only to have some limited arrangement where everyone can be happy.

> Could the airline talk to individual passengers about this snake being near them on their flight beforehand?

This kind of messaging is relatively easy nowadays, ranging from a little doggy icon on the website marking a specific flight as being pet-friendly, all the way to personalized sms/emails (which are already in place).

Humans live densely, there are very few actions you can take that affect no-one in no way. We are dealing with this overly brutely in my opinion, there exists a configuration that increases net world happiness that we are not taking advantage of.
Keeping a log of visitors to your own computing resources is an ethical grey area since when? IP Addresses themselves are most useful for deanonymization/violating privacy when shared across organizations, or converted to accounts from ISPs. Why does GDPR target the storage of them and not the sharing or conversion of this type of data?

One other interesting thing to keep in mind is that GDPR does not exempt public, government organisations. It will be interesting to see what happens with that, if anything.
Why don't you buy it?
They're anonymized for things like logs. When the computers aren't talking to each other, the reasons to know the exact IP address are rather minimized. If you feel you have a real need to do so, then you just need to inform your users what you're doing.
