What you're describing is necessary when going the opposite direction and trying to translate windows console buffers into VT data streams, but that's not really necessary for something like this since the native console interaction isn't used. Just grab plink's stdin and stdout and you'll get precisely what comes through SSH, escape codes and all. Well, almost, I think plink does some EoL conversion.

It's worth remembering how painful SOAP was, and what a disaster the early implementations were, and how little agreement there was on anything, for many years. Pete Lacey has written a hilarious satire of the whole thing:

Maybe SOAP wasn't the entirety of SOA, but back then it was a big part of it.

I agree the term "microservices" has been ruined by those who came in with a very specific agenda. When I was at Timeout.com, in 2013, I used the phrase "an architecture of small apps":

http://www.smashcompany.com/technology/an-architecture-of-sm...

It was a few months later, when Martin Fowler wrote his essay about it, that I first heard the term "microservices". When I read his essay, I assumed he was talking about the same thing that I was talking about. But I later found that the people promoting microservices defined it entirely in terms of HTTP, so I've gone back to talking about "an architecture of small apps" when I am talking about small apps that talk to each other with something other than HTTP, such as this kind of architecture:

Firstly, no it isn't. The fact that they need an Internet connection is just one of Chrome OS's many problems.

Secondly, I never claimed Chromebooks don't work offline. I claimed they are nearly useless offline, which they are. They default to storing things in the cloud and using web apps. Getting them to be useful offline requires effort from the user and special effort from the developers of any offline web apps. The fact that users have to keep track of where all their data and programs live is needless complexity which is quite opposed to Chrome OS's supposed focus on ease of use.

Fielding's thesis doesn't really specify anything in particular about human discoverability, except that REST systems are typically user agent driven compared to typical distributed systems.

As for the nightmare of REST, the real question is whether this difficult is intrinsic, or merely a product of immature tooling and poor understanding. No web framework I've seen, apart from the Waterken server, actually helps you achieve REST. They're largely all HTTP-based RPC frameworks.

Why do people care about high schoolers getting addicted to this?

Is it the money they'll waste, that they might shorten their lifespan by a couple of years, or just because they'll be addicted?

You could say the same things about Coffee, Video Games, or TV. There's so much to be addicted to and so little time. At the same time it helps adults that are already addicted to cigarettes extend their life span, save money, and maybe become less addicted.

I fail to see an issue.
We're in Arkansas now, having moved from Virginia at the end of last year.

Arkansas basically requires nothing at all.

Android P is locking various things down, such as network monitoring and mic/camera recording for background apps.

https://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes#input...

"Android P strengthens privacy by limiting the ability of background apps to access user input and sensor data. If your app is running in the background on a device running Android P, the system applies the following restrictions to your app:

- Your app cannot access the microphone or camera.

- Sensors that use the continuous reporting mode, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, don't receive events.

- Sensors that use the on-change or one-shot reporting modes don't receive events.

If your app needs to detect sensor events on devices running Android P, use a foreground service."

Funny to see that despite all the negative voices against bitcoin, these people still advance theirs pawns and play the game. I seriously think that there's a perverse move behind the walls to instill fear to the commoners towards the cryptocurrencies though the media; until all the pie is eaten. Then in a matter of days they will flip all these negative opinions and show bitcoin as the new messiah on earth.

So if we let a bank manage bitcoin, perhaps the bank could issue paper receipts that are backed by said bitcoin, and those pieces of paper could circulate instead of using the blockchain.

What I don't understand is if fiat currencies are so bad, why do people express the value of bitcoin in a fiat currency (like USD)? They are just like the goldbugs, hoping and praying that the world will collapse back into the dark ages
I have taken econ 101, this wasn't covered.

Deflation via credit default has shown to be harmful to wider economy 2x times in US history (monetary shocks). I am not aware of any conclusive study that a deflationary currency is bad for investment and progress. The easy counterpoint is Gold, which is often deflationary (when economic growth outpaces gold mining). We have had 10k years of investment that have shown your basic statement is false (deflationary currency causes investment to grind to a halt).

Inflationary fiat or credit based currency is a relatively new invention (1972 in the US). I have not seen any serious analysis showing that real investment has radically improved since going off the gold standard. Real investment has been growing for decades as real wealth increases, inflationary currency hasn't changed that very much AFAIK.
Yes, essential spending would happen. But why upgrade your car, or go out to eat, or go on a vacation, or all the other non-essential spending that powers our economy? Even a very small change in these behaviors has huge effects because one person's spending is another person's income.
It is a store of value. I would not call it an investment - because it does not really produce anything. It is like gold - but digital: https://medium.com/@zby/proof-of-work-8d8265def194

I don't think it is a very good store of value - we mostly need store of value in the special cases of wars, extreme crises, and similar stuff - for normal times we can invest our money into businesses that really produce something. But bitcoin does not seem to be very usable in these circumstances. It is not well tested. It is also in danger of being replaced by some other cryptocurrency. And I don't thing there is space for more than two or three of them - just like money gravitated into gold and silver.
I'd pay money for a service that monitors who all the services are in the credit reporting space and freezes my credit at them for me.
I completely agree with you that the concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny portion of the population is a huge problem today, but don't deflationary cryptocurrencies make it objectively worse?

At least if the current "1%" hoard dollars or euros in their mattress they slowly lose their wealth thanks to inflation. After a generation or two they'll have lost a significant share of their treasure. Therefore they have an incentive to actually invest the money to fight the effects of inflation. In doing so they contribute to the economy.

With a deflationary currency like bitcoin it goes like this:

1/ Buy bitcoins

2/ Bury your keys in a bunker in Antartica

3/ There is no step 3, just watch as you become wealthier while doing absolutely nothing. You want a loan to start your business or buy a house? Well tough luck, you should have mined BTC in 2013.

The deflationary nature of Bitcoin is why it managed to be successful in the first place, it gives a strong incentive to be an early adopter. However in the long term I don't see how it's sustainable, it makes it borderline useless as a currency. On the other hand I don't see how an inflationary cryptocurrency could gain traction if it's not backed by a huge entity such as a government or multinational company because who would bother buying SimiasCoin if you know it's going to lose value at a steady pace in the future? And why would a government or multinational corporation bother creating a cryptocurrency they can't easily control instead of printing bills like they do today?
You should have exactly the number of services required.

This may be hard to plan out from the beginning, but if all is basically sound, you may be able to reduce that number later. (E.g. when a module is called only by one other module, and there's no requirement for them to scale independently, maybe they should be one module.)
Maybe some startups would even go to the trouble of getting late aborted featus classified as "new-born" and spin it as an "ethics enhanced feature".

In my experience, it's more important to educate non-technical colleagues about your product and software development processes. Understanding pull requests or redis don't matter as much, and can be picked up along the way.

I've gifted The Mythical Man Month (Brooks) and Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love (Cagan) to colleagues and have received great feedback.

Personally, I had never used the term attribution model until I worked at an ecommerce company and didn't have a good reason to understand the details of churn until working with a SAAS business. Any reasonably smart person can pick up these domain specific understandings as they go.

They're a corporation, their sole ethic is "to make money," full stop, that is the only reason Apple exists. To ignore China as a market would cost them millions if not billions of dollars.

Tons of businesses with very ethical practices operate in and with China. China's current anti-privacy stances are unfortunate, but if we refuse to do business with them, all we're doing is giving a leg-up to Chinese corporations who don't even pretend to care about user privacy in the form of an insulated market.

Deflation is not a viable strategy for a currency. It's bad because it makes hoarding a valuable strategy and hoarding reduce the amount of currency in circulation leading to even more deflation. Who wants to use a mean of exchange actually discouraging exchange ?

The alternative really is between low inflation and price stability. Government tends to prefer low inflation because it encourages people to invest their assets in a productive way and because it's actually pretty difficult to avoid any inflation via monetary policy.

Tech’s Two Philosophies
He gets the "magical crypto guarantees" for 99% of his money, and only waives them for a small part that is "in-flight."

This isn't at all different from the way many people separate their investments and savings accounts from their checking accounts, except that in this case, the investment/savings accounts get "magical crypto guarantees."

This isn't rocket science.

> why upgrade your car, or go out to eat, or go on a vacation, or all the other non-essential spending that powers our economy?

I find 0 of those good. Upgrading your car when you dont need to is wreckless spending. Maybe the Economy changes to become more conservative and less environmentally damaging.

Going out to eat + vacations are unnecessary expenses. And btw, I completely doubt people are going to stop doing those 3.
Bitcoin is inflationary at least nominally, until 2140.
People will always hoard. It is just that currency is a bad hoard. People already hoard gold which is hard to store and secure.
I'm pretty sure that's illegal under GDPR.
I read the whole topic looking for enlightenment and insights to understand micro-services. I've been only in small companies (less that 10 years old with a dozen of engineers each) and AFAICT services grew organically without much architecture supervision or even if there was architecture supervision, it was a way to escape the technical debt of previous services. Don't even add to that the technical difficulty to manage multiple services in development or production or in between.

On all the code bases I saw, I never told myself (micro) services are helpful, I will redo that. And if I had to rewrite any of them, I would use a single 'service' that can do everything. IMHO it's more sane to optimize for the developer instead of whatever micro-services try to optimize.
Is this not like every movie's "bearer bonds" plot requirement?
I'm reminded of a thing I read about generating "yellow letters" for real estate leads. The letters look like someone handwrote them on a steno pad. If you used a handwriting font they would look fake. But you can't handwrite each one, that'd take to long for thousands of letters. What they do is get a handwriting font made of their handwriting, and sure it looks fake. But they write most of the letter template out by hand and use the handwriting font for just the parts that change. I wonder if something similar is going on here, where they have taught the speech synthesis a bunch of phrases and they color in the bits with synthetic speech where it's needed. The inflection is also easier to specify in those cases.

Of course it is a location dependent core belief. And, as I have pointed out above, it is perfectly ok to have a location dependent core belief as long as we stop pretending it is not.

Apple wants Chinese market and it wants Chinese labor. If to do that it needs to sacrifice its principals, it is willing to do so.

IBM did that before with Nazi Germany. Other companies did it before with South Africa.

P.S. It is very amusing to watch the blind apple fanboi-sm on HN.
>why do people express the value of bitcoin in a fiat currency (like USD)?

Mostly because businesses do accounting and pay taxes in usd, so bitcoin is just used as a pass through gimmick to make sales. There is no path to the price stabilization of bitcoin, it's purely deflationary, no one is going to set prices in something that has no monetary policy.
Linux can do whatever it damn well pleases. You can take Linux and turn it into the most feature-poor "easy-to-use" toy on the planet, as Google has demonstrated. The UI has little to do with the underlying technology.

The problems with the Linux desktop that I can see are poor driver support and a limited software selection. OEM support solves the driver support problem and Chrome OS demonstrates that people are willing to use a system with no software at all. What else makes it unsuitable for most users?

There is a very important difference between fiat currencies backed by nothing and fiduciary media that is backed by a commodity like gold. You can't walk into the Federal Reserve with a thousand dollars and demand them to be converted into physical gold - that right was abolished in the 1930s.
I have been using this on my pixelbook and, unless I am wildly mistaken, it's generating an LXC container. Android apps for instance all run inside a single container for them as well

It doesn't work because we need life to be alive. We don't really need bitcoin for anything though. But you're right that in the very long term remaining alive on earth, or even in the universe at large is going to be a huge issue. Wasting energy mining cryptocurrencies isn't going to help. I wonder who's going to be the first person building a dyson sphere to power a BTC miner.

Why C++ and not Python?
By that reasoning, investing in gold is also speculation. Because it only has minimal industrial uses and most of its value comes from the fact that people say it has value.

And a piece of art is not a productive asset either. Yet, it can and will have value. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with that.

I'm happy to invest in things that I believe are likely to go up in value, whether those are companies, mineral rights, art, watches, Bitcoin, or water deposits.
I'm glad you are starting to acknowledge that Apple will sell its users for money. It is just for now it seems to have other venues to get that money. Except in China where it needs to sell its users to the government in order to be able to extract money from that market right now.
