The wise course would be for every working-age adult and operating business to avoid domiciling within the state of Illinois. It is already bankrupt, and it may take some time before everyone involved is willing to admit to it. I'm certainly not going to volunteer as tribute.

The big problem here is that we are expecting people to be bound to promises made by their predecessors, without ever being a party to those original negotiations. When one generation promises itself lavish benefits, to be paid for by future generations, they shouldn't be surprised when those future generations tell them to go pound sand. One of the big problems with the US model of government is that it never erected any enforceable barriers to kicking a can down the road long enough for it to become someone else's problem. It's just so easy to outvote the opposition, when they haven't been born yet.

So now we have this generational warfare, where the grandparents' generation took out loans, had a big party of borrowed prosperity, and then structured the payoffs to happen after they were all dead. Then the parents' generation decided they could only afford to have 2 kids instead of 3, and immigrants were no longer welcome, because jobs. Then that dead, skeletal hand finally reaches across the years to give young people a giant, bony middle finger, and then pick their nearly-empty pockets.

If those kids think school shootings are a threat to their lives, just wait until they graduate, and 80% of everything they earn is actually going toward helping the grandmas and grandpas pay for their little blue pills while breeding antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea in their luxury retirement communities. They'll want those guns back, when they're out nationalizing the assets of retirees, and herding them into assisted-living ghettos, chewing through property portfolios in order from eldest to youngest. That's what springs to mind whenever I think about Illinois's pension problem: "Screw you, you entitled assholes; you're going to get what's coming to you, and it isn't money."
I don't think so. It was a previous program that I guess they discontinued. The real story is that WebEx chat client was auto-upgraded to something called "WebEx Jabber" and there was definitely a server storage aspect of chats. But no plan for what to do with locally stored chats. Sucks to lose your chat history, lots of gems in there.
As someone not birthed in the unix land, I find this a lot there. "vim/emacs is easy, 'just' learn forty pages of shortcuts and magical incantations and also completely rethink the metaphors you use to interact with text"

"Commandline is way better, 'just' memorize every important command needed to do basic things and all the switches you may ever want"

I think people in general just forget the learning cliff inherent in many things. It's like we don't want to remember or acknowledge that we once struggled with something.

I'm usually not for people pushing books on HN like this, but this is entirely too relevant to my interests not to thank you for posting this. Visualizing my processes has by far been the hardest part of getting my CS degree, and I have a professor this semester as well as next that is obsessed with machine learning.
> Go has value types and doesn't suffer from this issue, which is a reason why having a generational GC is not that important for Go.

Go is in the same camp as C#/.NET here, where the generational hypothesis certainly holds and therefore .NET uses a generational garbage collector. I am certain that the generational hypothesis holds for Go as well.

Not having a generational GC is a design mistake in Go. Google should fix that.
I've built brick walls, i've laid brick tiles. There's a lot of work that goes into it both before you actually start laying bricks and during. I also run machines that work with stone. Machines and robots fuck up. You can't fully automate these things. There needs to be some kind of human intervention because when machines fuck up...they fuck up hard.
Impressive reply. I find this topic fascinating, and you've given me a lot to think about.

Yes, TV is terrible, but also keep in mind that social media's role in the world has changed dramatically too--often it straight-up drives TV coverage when used effectively, as Trump does (like it or not). In the 2016 election, it seemed like CNN and Fox were often rushing to cover (and spin) Trump's latest tweet (as they still do), so-and-so's latest Facebook note, etc. reactively instead of proactively crafting their own coverage.

> On the internet you have a lot of people sharing their opinion, and it's two-way.

Yeah but the echo chamber effect on the internet might be even stronger because it's 2-way. It's been shown that being exposed to opposing political opinions on Twitter actually strengthens peoples' original political opinions (recent academic study...can't find link now, but it's on my other machine, and will update this post this evening).

From [2]:

> Remember, it was seniors — only 6 percent of whom use Twitter — who pushed Trump to the White House.

Women, minorities, and others supported Trump way more than expected (in historical terms compared with recent elections, and certainly way more than mass media had us believe), so I'm not sure where the author is coming from here. Also the data cited in the article only goes to 2012, and a LOT has changed since then, so I'd be careful to relate these conclusions to events after 2016.

What I don't understand is this, Facebook makes $7 per customer through selling their data to advertisers and other groups.

I know most people don't want to PAY for Facebook, but maybe the people who really care about their privacy would.

Could I opt out of advertising, or sharing my data with 3rd party apps of my friends if I paid Facebook $20 per year? For me $20 per year would be a good price for an ad free experience on Facebook.

That way some people pay with real dollars, some people pay by being receptacles for advertising. Just like how there is Free TV, and there is HBO.
Yep, can run for president too as was determined when John McCain ran even though he was born in the Canal Zone.

That's right, we're talking about someone dying. Is it better to have the problem fixed, or better to get revenge? In aviation, for example, some mechanics in Chicago were putting jet engines on using the wrong procedure. This resulted in a crack in the engine mount, the engine fell off during takeoff, resulting in a fiery crash where everyone died.

Everyone cooperated with the investigation. The mechanics were not criminally charged. The procedures were changed so it wouldn't happen again.

Under your proposal, the shop would have had every incentive to alter records, deny, obfuscate, and in general impede finding the truth as much as possible. Do you think that would have been better?

I know of no cases where mechanics, engineers, air traffic controllers, regulators or pilots were criminally charged in a fatal accident. The result is we have incredibly safe air travel. I don't know about you, but I'm happy about that result.

Static site generators are an infinitely better choice for making actual blogs. Wordpress has evolved into a CMS similar to Drupal or Joomla with all the available plugins. You can make it into a store or a wiki or basically anything, but you probably shouldn’t. Wordpress was really cool back in the PHP5 days, but Moveable Type and other “old school” static CMS generators always scaled better. Today with node and the dozens of good SSGs, there’s really no excuse to use WP for a blog. The content doesn’t change between page loads, so why would you server-side generate the page dynamically on each page load? The way that it works is fundamentally wrong, and while it’s not very hard to fix with Varnish or WPSuperCache...why not start with the right tool for the job?
What you and many others are asking for is impossible. There’s no way to prove that something does not exist.

From the article.

> How can I avoid burning my team out?

If a team can't meet a deadline, it's a management problem, and not the team's problem. This means that, somewhere along the way, the project didn't go as planned and a course wasn't corrected. So, Rule Number 1 to avoid burnout is "Manage the project and expectations well" (See: Help! We are behind schedule!).

Rule number 2: Never ask more of your team than you would ask of yourself (and you mustn't ask yourself to work nights and weekends). Other organizations might ask their teams to pull longer hours when the going gets rough. This is a laser-focused bullet train to attrition and long-term inefficiencies. Webflow cares deeply about its team, not only professionally, but personally, so we must do our best to manage our time well.
Which can be effectively mitigated by having a generational garbage collector!
I'm not an environmentalist, but even I would prefer we don't graduate to epoxy or resin for home construction. These things are all petroleum based and I have to imagine they outgas for a long period of time after construction. If they do burn, they will also doubtless emit lots of toxic gasses.

I would prefer 3d printing type automation, but applied to compacted dirt or clay. I love adobe and wish it was more popular. Big thick walls that keep out the heat and the cold seem like a no-brainer, if you can reinforce them to not crush you during earthquakes.
I've been mumbling under my breath about this since the 90s. The basic issue as I see it is that nobody wants to do the up front work of separating out static, client side dynamic, and server side dynamic. If that work were done then nominal load would be much less to begin with, and scaling up would be much more straightforward.
> Workers who switch from teaching jobs to non-teaching jobs see their salaries typically go down.

That's hardly shocking. My salary would go down if I switched from programming (which I've been doing for decades) to something else, too.
There is concerted effort on the AOM list to finish and close all bugs or features that require normative bitstream changes, so I would expect it isn't too much longer. The number of remaining issues is small-ish, but not zero.

The involvement of hardware people has been a boon, though tough for software people at times :).
A lot of people would see it as persuasion by their side, and manipulation by the other. Same with "information" and "propaganda".

As an aside, I kind of appreciate how in the past, mostly before WW2, governments would have agencies such as "Ministry of Propaganda", or "Department of War". Now we use doublespeak terms ("Public Affairs", "Defense") to calm the masses, even though they mean the same thing.

kops 1.9 is very close to ready now, but this is a longer lag than normal. We've historically released kops 1.x when we consider that k8s 1.x is stable, including all the networking providers and ecosystem components. That's typically about a month after release.

User feedback has been that that we want to keep that, but that we should also offer an alpha/beta of 1.10 much sooner, so that users that want to try out 1.10 today can do so (and so we get feedback earlier). So watch for kops 1.10 alpha very soon, and 1.11 alpha much earlier in the 1.11 cycle.

We're running Kubernetes for minor amounts of traffic in production, but we're still not in a great place due to a few limitations in running Kubernetes on your own gear.

I know that people like to talk about cost savings and stuff like that, but I'd like to see if it actually lowered your app latency and increased sales/conversions/whatnot. Things that matter a lot to a growth business.

I ask because the various overlay/iptables/NAT/complicated networking setups in Kubernetes lend themselves to adding more overhead and being much slower than running on "bare metal" and talking directly to a "native" IP. I really, really wish that Kubernetes had full, built-in IPv6 support. It would remove a lot of this crud.

Our solution works around this by assigning IP's with Romana and advertising those into a full layer 3 network with bird. The pods register services into CoreDNS, and an "old fashioned" load balancer resolves service names into A records. Requests are then round robin'd across the various IP's directly. There's no overlay network. There's no central ingress controllers to deal with. There's no NAT. It's direct from LB to pod.

The nginx ingress controller is not a long term solution. It's a stop-gap measure. Someone really needs to build a proper, lightweight, programmable, and cheap, software-based load balancer that I can anycast to across several servers. That or Facebook just needs to open-source theirs.

> What the 14th Amendment may give them in terms of US citizenship, the 14th Amendment takes away with regard to these exclusionary laws.

Except it doesn't. Even if the term “United States” in the first clause might be argued to include the whole territory of the nation called the “United States” and not just specifically the constituent states (which is the crux of the citizenship argument), that doesn't imply that the word “State” in the remainder of the Amendment means something other than the individual states of the Union. And all the restrictions are of the form “No State shall...”
I think people are upset with the NNNx stuff people use. My instant reaction to seeing this headline was one of mild disgust - I cant bring myself to read the article.

I dont have data, but I think the whole 10x circle-jerk is harmful to our profession - non-technical people (e.g. managers, HR etc) think it is "a thing", which means we end up working with "10x" jerks and/or are getting pressured into working overtime/weekends etc so that we can live up to this unrealistic "10x" benchmark/expectations.

I can say that they aren't trying to get 10x the work on 1x the budget, but how to effectively manage a team so that your employees feel motivated to work hard for you when they are at work, but aren't stressed by external factors.

The basic premise is how do you as a manager give your team 10x time to actually work, focus on work, and enjoy life.

Oh come on, commuting comes with a substantial risk of injury. People doing work aren't victims, they are moral agents making informed decisions to pursue larger goals.
The people that have both are outliers, but massively successful: Bezos, Jobs, etc. But that just shows the importance of having both types of leadership in a company, because the type of drive that grows an innovative company isn't the same as what keeps them in the top spot. This isn't a simple binary variable, just about every company has had or will have to find their balance on this.

It may not be glamorous, but no matter how innovative or successful, someone (many people really) have to have an eye on day to day operations. A CEO should have vision, yes, but their job isn't just to have vision, it's to share that vision with the people under them, the day to day people that have to be in place, and will make the best day-to-day decisions only if they understand and share that vision.

Having been on a project with a 100x tech lead who rarely wrote code (but every time it was amazing) due to their leadership position, followed (and preceded now that I think about it) by a project where the tech lead was a 10x engineer who wrote tons of solid, bug-free code ,but was not really a great tech lead, this is 100% true. The difference between the projects were night and day.

The defining feature of the 100x tech lead for me was their ability to do code reviews-- with a tilt of the head, they would point out something that no one else thought of and helped make the code better. I really wish I had the ability to review code that way that 100xer did.
> Well, firstly the language has value semantics, so in many cases you can read the source code knowing nothing about escape analysis and make inferences about where data lives.

Are you referring to heap vs. stack? That is not as simple as it seems, because of escape analysis. The only thing that Go lets you do that Java doesn't is put structs inside other structs, which is nice, but it's not a game-changer.

> Further, Go's escape analysis seems simpler; I've been programming in Java on and off for a decade and I depend on profiling to hunt down allocations (except in very simple cases). This isn't the case in Go despite working with it for only a few years recreationally.

I don't see how the HotSpot JVM escape analysis can be "simpler" than that of Go. They work the same way.
