I think the gRPC team/community has been fast at work on a Golang/Node/Java/Haskell + Docker RPC tool; maybe you'll find some insights at their 'grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway' or 'grpc/grpc-web' GitHub repo home pages -- for your API format. It might tie back nice and conveniently to Minikube and K8S -- if gRPC is compatible with Clojure (essentially Java?).

> "Some folk, without any material to justify it, started configuring 1.1.1.1. Now, I can start using your IP address, I suppose, but we're both going to have a problem," Huston told ZDNet, laughing.

Ha, I was using 1.1.1.0/24 as my local intranet as an expirement with dnsmasq a few years back. I got scolded for it, rightly so, but I figured as no-one was using 1.1.1.0/24 at the time it was OK.

I see I am not the only one who did so.
Having built some very cool things that in the end nobody bought, I strongly disagree that one should just build the thing and then try to sell it. I also disagree that these two approaches lead to evolution vs revolution.

Even if you have a revolutionary idea, and even if you can build it, it's still a waste of time if nobody will buy it. No matter how revolutionary your idea, you can try marketing it. If you are eventually going to sell it via a website, just build that website. If you're eventually going to sell it in person, just sell it in person. If you need a video demo, just make the demo. Then see what people do.

There are two reasons for this. The obvious reason is that you can save years of your life building something that nobody will pay for. But the subtle reason is that finding out what people actually want will usefully inform what you build. You can spend those years building the revolutionary product that people will buy, rather than the not-on-target product that they won't.

The techniques for this are not hard, and the Lean Startup literature has plenty to get people started. E.g., the Alvarez book on Lean Customer Development: https://www.amazon.com/Lean-Customer-Development-Building-Cu...

(And this is not to say that people shouldn't obsessively build things that interest them. I like doing that. It's a great way to learn and explore. But they shouldn't pretend that's a good way to start a business, any more than amateur musical noodling in one's basement is likely to produce the next #1 pop hit.)
Okay. I guess if you say so then I was just being paranoid and overreacting.
An Inordinate Fondness for Wasps
Full paper can be found here [1], and the MIT press release with a much more reasonable title here [2].

I've been wondering for some time how one would make a practical DIY electromyography (EMG) device, for example to measure hand muscle activation around the wrist, but I haven't been able to find a source that presents research in an accessible manner. Does anyone know of such a source?

That's why this article will act as a starting point for an entire series on different AWS services where I will go into greater detail.
IMO early stage entrepreneurship consists of finding a problem bad enough that non-trivial amount of people say "sure, let's talk" to that pitch and then working with those early users to build something useful.

This is hard for a certain class of problems, though- ones where people have to be convinced that the (1) there is a problem and (2) they should care about doing something about it. The first (modern) electric cars and the first home computers come to mind.

But that's really just a nitpick. I believe your point overall is correct- you're selling a solution or a dream.

I found this to be a great collection of insights!

My criticisms:

Organizing your files and digital “stuff” has very little to do with the “rich structure of human knowledge,” to me, any more than organizing your kitchen or garage is an exercise in philosophy. The goal should be as usable a system as possible, full stop. Now, the actual content of the article is extremely practically oriented, so I have no beef with that. I just think people get carried away with the idea that storing a file is “representing knowledge,” and it takes them in weird directions like trying to create elaborate universal ontologies. The question is, is it easier or harder to find your files, and save your files?

Whenever a phrase like “representing knowledge” or “augmenting intelligence” comes up, it’s like everyone gets a boner, and then moves on to something unrelated, like (hopefully) usability.

Mutability: Everything changes. The only way to have immutable facts is to have timestamps. Image hosting sites, message boards, etc are misleading examples of file storage because they are really means of publishing. When you publish something, and people link to it, there’s a case for thinking of immutability as the default, though even then, most things that can be published can be retracted or edited. This comment can be edited after I publish it. I think true immutability as a default, for files as opposed to time-stamped facts, only makes sense in a very narrow domain.
I wrote a long reply to this but then realised maybe you meant that it's the first and only _animated_ movie that brought you to tears?
I've been on the other side of that argument. In my case, a client had spent $50,000 on a pretty plain static brochure website. They're not tech-savvy, so they wanted to move to a CMS they could manage on their own.

When I told them it'd be $2,500 to put their existing site into a new WordPress site, they thought I was joking. That was the day that I realized value pricing is a real thing.

In your situation (with money already in hand), I probably would've just told them "Then pay them 0.25 my hourly rate to cover their 10 minutes of work with a 50% bonus. Why are you wasting your time calling me?"
SO is definitely a force, but I feel its usefulness has faded from inattention to the user experience and use cases. For example:

#1. There's a huge "homework problem" (narrow, specific questions that aren't broadly useful). Consider flagging homework as homework (and excluding it from searches), trying to divert questioners to other resources before their question is posted ("this looks like homework..."), and more thinking about ways to codify the use case. I'd gladly help with homework if there were tools focused on that (e.g. ability to comment on specific lines of code -- Gooogle Docs for posted source code, etc.)

#2. There are oddly subjective editorial decisions, such as closing my question about an API for generating USPS priority mail labels as "off topic": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5690713/how-to-programma...

(My view: "is there any API for doing X" is no different than "is there any method/function for doing X", it's a question of existence, not opinion. But even then, opinions are often very useful!)

#3. The best answer is often buried under the "accepted" answer. Over time, highly upvoted answers should drift to the top.

#4. There should be explicit UI support for flagging stale/out-of-date information. SO has a long tail of information now, and much of it is dated. It should be super easy to note and see that.
Unfriendly/ rude moderation is what happens when the tools in place to try to keep the site’s content in alignment with the person’s vision fail.

Not enough votes. Not enough time. Poor filters. Too low a barrier to post a new question.

People then turn to social tools. Rudeness ensues.

An open question is what is the vision of the site... and there are probably many of them.
We are starting to see a bit of a pushback although it's hard to discern amongst all the hype. There's some recognition that deep learning is just one technique that happened to pop (to use Rodney Brooks' term) for a variety of reasons but that we haven't made huge progress in cognitive science and other fields.

Deep learning is the current shiny toy but I suspect we'll find it isn't actually sufficient for a lot of things we want to do and we'll run into a wall a lot of people aren't expecting.

On some of the high traffic tags (Java, C++, Python) there are a few high rep users that will swoop in on any basic-level question within seconds and close as duplicate/off-topic/too-broad, etc. So on the one hand it is not very newbie or tutorial friendly, but on the other hand, it clears away those kinds of questions to make room for more difficult questions that may not have a good answer on SO yet.

Even still, most newbie questions do get some degree of help from empathetic users in the comments.

I tried hugo and jekyll, but pages produced were still too heavy, so I built my own simple, stupid page generator which uses pandoc(1) [0]. With the little bit of trafic I get, and the tons of means to get in touch, I didn't subscribe to disqus or the like. And deployment is scp(1)-ing to my server, and a cron(1) job that copies said scp-ed directory to /usr/local/www .

This implies a clearer distinction between answer and opinion than exists in actual reality. There's a second assumption here, which is that there exists one ideal answer for each possible question, which is also wrong.
The question was pretty broad but I think discussing it would have been very valuable for quite a few people. What bothered me were the snide responses. At minimum they should have stayed quiet or explained that SO doesn't deal with this kind of question.
The time it takes to return to focused/productive state is roughly proportional to interruption time.

Even if they're not collecting your personal data, they can still present you with adverts. Your local TV company of Newspaper don't have information about you - they still sell advertising.

Facebook's model is still viable with no data collection at all. They platform would still make money, it just wouldn't have a market cap of $400Bn, it'd be in the region of $x0Bn like a huge newspaper.

He should've said what he did differently - seamless integration (aka virtual drive in Windows) was a selling point, but again, other services also had this.
I am taking over a codebase that was written by an outsourced team in Pakistan. The code is in a total chaotic copy-pasta state. I swear the main thing you'll find in outsourced code is the inability to refactor or re-use code for similar features.

One recent thing I just found is a view that has about 8 source HTML files, all of which is quite complicated angular1 code. Then when the team was asked to have a slightly different button for an ADMIN logging in, they duplicated all the files and changed the button. Since then management had them add new features to the view (that would apply to admins and other users) and they basically coded up the changes requested in different ways in the admin/non-admin views.

Same stuff in the REST code - I don't really get it either - when you talk to the tech leads they are often very intelligent and totally get the criticisms. I think the problem is these outsourcing companies are hiring junior developers and teaching them just enough to write code to just barely get by the requirements. Literally every feature I go through in this code base its like I'm turning over a lovely cake to find worms inside.
The most successful people change with the times. In this case some kind of fish farming is your best bet for long term sustainability. Just like foresters plant trees, or hunters are involved in wildlife conservation efforts.

Obviously they don't always do that, but to assume you can simply run things the same exact way as your ancestors is foolish.

I was an intern when this happened, but yeah.

We were working on a program to manage a piece of industrial hardware, and the hardware was a handheld device. The contractor hired to build out the firmware put something like 16 people working 60 hour weeks on this. For about 12 weeks, they toiled away, and then we decided that they should join our demos and demo what they had.

Well, it was incredibly bad. They had basically just created some Qt templates. They had very little, if any, code written under the covers. The logic just wasn't there, but the interface was at least nice. It was pretty clear these guys had no idea what they were doing. Our director of development were all over these guys every day for weeks after that.

Eventually my internship ended, but I heard that they ultimately decided to drop the contractor and hire in house for it, and it eventually got released about 4 or 5 years after I left there.

IIRC they changed their approach several times and I think for a while you wouldn't have access to the answer at all until they changed it to what you describe (answer buried at the bottom of the page). I assume they settled on that format for the reason you mention, Google would have ended up removing them from their results if they kept cheating.

One question I have wanted to ask for a long time - why is the source code for old games often released under a free license, but artwork and other assets are not?

Ask HN: Has Spotify been breached?
So according to haveibeenpwned my email is not listed as being on any Spotify breach, but I just got 2 emails that my email and password were on a paste for my Spotify Premium account.

Makes sense now, as a couple of hours ago listening at work, it stopped playing and said it was playing on a LG Phone ... so logged all out and changed password.

I can't seem to find anything other than 2016, and https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/12/27/spotify-massive-data-breach/ from last year.
Maybe men and women are not driven to accomplish the same goals. For example, take a look at the StackOverflow developer survey. There is certainly a difference in what men consider valuable for a job and what women consider valuable given that specific data point. I don't wish to make broad assumptions about every man or every woman. I also don't think to point out these things has much to do with discrimination. Men and women have been evolving for a lot longer than men and women have been working in desks next to each other... it's no simple feat to coexist when the rules of the game are not clear. I think it only gets hairy if you don't fundamentally think there is a difference between a man and a woman, really the rest follows axiomatically.
The problem is you can't simulate the video that happens after your new decision.

So this steering update would take you 0.3 degrees to the right. So what? Well those 0.3 degrees might change the angle of the line which influences the car to steer another 0.3 degrees, etc. But without that followup video (which you can't simulate from a 2D recording) you don't know how it would react to the change in environment.

The only way to regression test these things is in a simulated 3D environment (or miles and miles of real test track)
Scaling Uber’s Hadoop Distributed File System for Growth
> Paper should serve the people, not the other way around.

I definitely agree with you on that, and I agree that the government can be over burdensome and take too long. However, NOAA is the one charged with enforcing the law on it, they did not write the law. If you disagree with the law, I encourage you to write your congressman and see what it takes to change the law.

I think there is a fundamental disagreement on the intent on what NOAA is doing. I personally don't see it as hostile, nor do I think they are flexing their muscle.

If it was true that SpaceX only came to them 3 days before the launch, I think that is unfair to NOAA to ask for a license so quick. If they did follow the 120 day policy and NOAA didn't give them a license, then the fault is on NOAA.

What I find odd is NOAA's own statement says: "SpaceX applied and received a license from NOAA that included conditions on their capability to live-stream from space."

So is SpaceX violating their license? I think there is much more at play when just what the article says. Personally, I have a feeling another government agency saw what SpaceX was doing, saw they didn't have a license, and NOAA got in trouble because they weren't enforcing that law, and now NOAA is caught in the cross fire.
I'm not saying that, just giving our point of view. BTW I still meet a lot of people that think GitHub is open source instead of them hosting open source.
Quantum Fields: The Real Building Blocks of the Universe [video]
I mean, this advice is pretty firmly held for hitting things like animals. Albeit for other reasons -- it helps prevent them from going over the hood and towards the windshield.

Generally the pitch won't matter that much in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions. Only when the pitch would angle the front bumper completely under the other vehicle, which I admit isn't much of a concern. And not really a concern at all in vehicle-to-barrier collisions.

However, if we're talking about idealized automated driving systems, I hold by my original assertion. I would expect such a system to be able to correctly analyze when releasing the brake right before collision to reduce pitch would be beneficial.
The basic endpoint of Facebook and Google whatever their stated objectives is to build detailed long term profiles of every individual, like the stasi or any totalitarian state.

This appetite for user data is so great simply tracking location and content across devices is not enough. Here is Facebook trying to do deals with hospitals to access all their patient data [1]

It's easy to see where this goes and how encompassing it becomes. People in the ad ecosystem will hand wave, diminish and deny but that's just self interest. For wider society the effect is sinister.

GPS is not accurate enough to reliably pinpoint your location to a particular lane. Even WAAS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Area_Augmentation_System) can have up to 25 feet of error. Basic GPS is less accurate than that.

In fact, it's possible that GPS error was a contributing factor here but there's no way to know that from the video.
I think right now it's only good for stop and go traffic conditions and that's about it. That's still really useful for a lot of people.

I've been wondering exactly the same thing over the last week once all this came to light. Seems it would be the worst of both worlds. Would personally feel safer to me knowing either I'm supposed to drive or not. This half way system means actually means the better the auto pilot is the more reliant I would naturally become and then not be ready to react or be in the frame of mind where I can. How airline pilots stop themselves becoming overly reliant on their autopilots is also a concern. It's that classic situation where two people each think the other will take care of it, then no one does. "I thought you were going to do it."
Opel Astra. It also has a 'bug', where at a certain location the lines on the road trigger the emergency braking feature, every single time.
Only one argument is needed: everything comes to an end eventually. (Maybe not the universe itself, but certainly all earthly things.)

But the headline is asking if we're at the peak of English's dominance. That question requires a lot more than "everything comes to an end" or "global languages never lasted forever before" to answer it in the affirmative.

English isn't necessarily a great language, and it's not all that accessible (Spanish is more accessible, certainly). But it is the only contender that is sufficiently accessible to ensure continued dominance.
Ask HN: Managing a startup's social media without spamming
Ok briefly, I am not the biggest fan of social media but realised I need a twitter, LinkedIn for www.readory.com.

Since creating the accounts most of the advice for growing the social media following I got include hooking it up to our rss feed and spamming out content with hashtags every hour or so and following/unfollowing bots. Is this really the way to go about things? How can an entrepreneur manage this while pushing out features etcetera.
