Phew, this has been a good exercise. Let me clarify the thesis.

The thesis is NOT that a crew of superhumans can supersede all DBAs, security engineers, and infra people in the world.

It is rather that you can be a great software-side engineer, and that you can skew/focus on a few primary concerns, and develop and maintain a working knowledge in the others, sufficient to service your core project's needs.

Specialists can be called in as spot checkers, auditors, or short-term implementers, but they shouldn't be needed for the day-to-day of building, maintaining, and deploying your software.

In software, everything goes down to the same place: the system hardware. And these days at least, this is pretty much homogeneous between software segments. If you know how this functions, the differences are in the modes of expression and the conventions, not really the principles. We can learn the varying conventions well enough to be serviceable in all the elements that we send down to hardware -- not necessarily expert, but good enough for day-to-day work.

I'm not saying that everyone on the team should be better than the best DBA guy you've ever met. I'm saying that everyone on your team should be reasonably confident with SQL. Specialists have a place in your friendly local <security/database/whatever> consultancy.

I'm curious about your opinion. I own a 2012 MacBook Pro and I've swapped out the ram, hard drive and battery with non-official components. I'm technically running macOS on non Apple hardware. Do you disagree with this, morally?
"Never had a problem" is not very convincing. I'm sure the vast majority of domain.com customers never had a problem either.
There are public trusted images, like the so-called official repositories on Docker Hub [1]. As long as you build your images based on official repo images, you're probably fine. Just don't depend on untrusted images; instead get their dockerfile/config files, and build the images yourself.

To me, a Docker image seems like an ideal way to distribute some proprietary device management web software like Ubiquity UNMS, rather than requiring some obscure version of some database or whatever other dependency actually be installed and maintained by their clients. You can spin that image up on a server or group of servers, or on Amazon ECS or a bunch of other providers in a matter of minutes. With enough motivation, you could even export the image and manage the environment manually.

Hey I think we're all with you. You have to admit though, it is interesting watching the side-effects.
> To borrow your words:"why don't YOU actually [provide information on REST] with references to specific, useful sources".

Because I'm not the one saying the OP needs to go read unspecified proper sources rather than discussing the issue on HN.
If you wanted that to be a real argument then you should have done the maths yourself. Without those maths you are doing nothing but gratuitious handwaving. I've done them for you and they prove me right (and you wrong at least where you say "hardly more than for bivalent logic").

Oh, and if you want to know why people don't want to find more "useful" operators than what they're used to from good old two-valued logic then I have a hint for you too : it's because they all immediately sense that their brains are not up to it as soon as they actually try (and my actually doing the maths has very clearly shown me why - so as you suggested to me "perhaps give it a try").
You only need to connect to the local exchanges, by and large the deeper routing nodes are not run by commercial ISPs.
I know our SREs once screwed the config for sshd, and considered themselves very lucky that they had puppet on the machines and could push a fixed configuration (if they had used exclusively ansible, that'd be the end of it - no way to connect or to deploy new configuration)

[edit] To clarify - ansible is great, and we use it. Just saying that, as everything, it still has (sometimes subtle) downsides in various scenarios. If it works well for you - great, but maybe others really were bitten by it.
Live and have tastes below your means, or improve your abilities.

Your tastes are a key thing to think about. If you like expensive things, then the amount of money you need will be much higher than if you are content with something minimal. Remember, as your savings grow you can eventually afford much more expensive things than someone who gets the max they can now - but this is only if you survive. (alternatively you can retire early and enjoy your current tastes younger)

Improving your abilities doesn't have to mean college. Depending on your potential college might even be a bad idea - if you flunk out in after several years of loans you will really be in trouble. You can improve a lot just from books in the local library. Your boss may have suggestions of what will help you most.

These steps are mostly from Dave Ramsey (though others have their own, and I've put my own twist on it), and they are mostly in order, though sometimes a little step should be done early. These are also from a US perspective, other countries have different costs of living. Get $100 in an emergency fund. Get the match in your retirement plans. Pay off all debts. Max out your retirement fund. Save elsewhere.
when i viewed that link there was an ibm advertisement on the top and an interstitial one as well. couldn't help but chuckle.
The article focuses exclusively on mood disorders, which frankly isn’t what most people think of or mean by “mad” in any case. Nikola Tesla for example was mad as a hatter, but it appears to have been a delusional disorder. While depression for example can be psychotic, it tends not to be, and I think psychosis or at least delusional beliefs are the hallmark of what is commonly meant when the public talks about “madness.”
I hear you! Basically same here. I had not come across this one...

I've always wondered if a lot of "eccentric" people aren't just behaving the way everybody would naturally behave if they could get away with it. I say and do a lot of things because I have to if I want to have food to eat and a place to sleep, but I'll never know how different my behavior _might_ have been if I were rich enough or brilliant enough that people would just put up with whatever I happened to feel like doing at any given moment.

The entire English dictionary has evolved into its current state, and there's several words that used to have the opposite meaning just from stubborn ironic use by the masses. As much as I like to be correct about my use of words, I think AI has established itself as a term that will stick around for now.

Besides, I really don't think all the stigma comes from the term "artificial intelligence". You don't have to ever mention the term to a child interacting with Alexa, they will nevertheless greatly overestimate "her" ability. I think because of the anthropomorphic nature of their interactions, and the black box implementation that prevents you from knowing the boundaries of what is possible.

This something that video game characters have played on since their conception, to make humans imagine much more complex intents and thoughts behind their "stupid" hard coded behaviors. I'm okay with calling it AI even if it's not even close to on par with human intelligence. :)

I like ansible with vagrant as well - it makes for a nice clean way of deploying to development environments while also been nicely 'self' documenting and not limiting (you can drop back to shell), it's a lovely tool for the most part.

Edit: The thing I really like about Ansible is how unsexy it is, it's just a nice sane way of doing largely what you could do yourself with ssh and bash but in a language that doesn't make you want to cry.

I've been around linux since the 90's and Ansible feels comfortable, predictable and stable - what you would want in a piece of software that can be mission critical in the most fundamental sense.
> It also gives the sellers certainty of sale so when they go to buy another house, they don't have to deal with contingency offers.

A sale isn’t certain until it’s closed, so unless you are suggesting a sale and lease-back arrangement, it doesn’t really change the sellers situation.
You're spot on.

These people have the power to sue beyond their jurisdiction in many cases because they have guns. This PR scheme is a tell that they are doing the bidding of the big bankers extensive war against crypto.

I'm on a team whose primary project is a browser-based IDE.

We are considering this for exactly the reason you said.

Probably won't implement it because the whole "choose your own FS, also it doesn't work on github" thing, but we might plug it into our node server and writeup an API for our client to use.
I just had a glass of a too chilled red wine... It's warm outside...

There are wines that are bordering to each other and some are all over the place, but I'd say I could most likely nail a chilled red wine just on the tannins, unless there where some really funny ones in the mix.

I've done blind tests of varieties and districts, and even amateurs can sort out a typical pinot noir, shiraz, and cabarnet sauvignon just on the description. But there are always atypical wines that can trick you.

A GPDR-like law would open up entirely new ways of doing business partly because these companies could no longer do business the way they are. “Free” services could no longer make their money by selling your data.

You're completely disregarding the fact that it takes significant resources to comply with a law like GDPR. Insurance to defray the costs of potential litigation and fines, development time, ongoing compliance (audits etc.), legal expenses, and on and on. Most startups simply can't afford this.

So you may wind up with more "honest" services, but there will be far fewer of them and they'll have more power and leverage than they ever have before because of the lack of competitors and artificial, enormous regulatory barriers to entry. GDPR is a startup killer.
There's so much leverage in that code, though. It's clear how the culture evolved.

> even though meaningful use case is yet to be shown, but there is chance it will be found

I don't get the Rust-port-hate, but I think you nailed the JS case with this comment. A few years ago my immediate reaction to JavaScript ports (or equivalents) used to be something roughly akin to, "what the eff is the point of that?!?"

Still, enough times now I've found myself needing one of these things later on - the most recent example being something that can play Amiga mod files in a browser - that I've become a bit more broad-minded. Plus, of course these things can be fun learning exercises and, after all, why not?

Really, one of the most canonical examples, for me, has to be Google Docs, which is basically a cut-down Microsoft Office in a browser. Back in the day I thought this was a terrible idea but, you know what? I've used Google Docs quite a lot over the past few years. It's still hasn't replaced MS Office, and probably never will because (as far as I can see) Excel simply can't be beat.

Our main current Google Docs use case is running retros. We have a few remote team members, plus a fairly strong WFH culture, so a shared GDocs drawing makes a great canvas/virtual whiteboard. Granted it's not as good as a dedicated virtual whiteboard app, but it's a very cost effective way of giving everyone write access to a shared drawing/post-it surface on an occasional/periodic basis. The problem with virtual whiteboards is they tend to charge per user, which makes sense if everyone uses them all the time, but becomes cost prohibitive when most people only need the app once every couple of weeks.

There are also plenty of examples for me that still don't seem to make much sense (online IDEs) but, whatever, some people clearly do, and that's cool.
I think you're right, but I think psychology comes into play as well, which complicates things.

That is, if I see something with 800 points and read/enjoy the article, I'm less likely to upvote than if it has only 200 points. I have similar feelings about photos on FB, which I'm more likely to "like" if it has only a few reactions than if it has over 100 already.

I don't know if others have similar feelings about when to upvote things, but if my thought process is not uncommon then it could dampen the impact of a growing user base. It's sort of like the bystander effect, but for internet platforms.
Teams and S4B can sort of communicate but its more broken than it works. If a user is signed out of teams, but signed into S4B, the message might go to teams instead. Sometimes teams continually fragments S4B messages into new convos.
I tried to include all my rant points into this example. E.g. what if fetch() doesn't go async? Then we don't have to mark it like that and don't have to await. Where ui and commit lives? There should be a unique environment for this specific api call or a whole subsystem. objs is something both enumerable and proxied, etc. It can be done in JS, but IRL it will be:

./file.js:
function foo(ctx) { // @export
for (let x of ctx.objs.iterate()) {
x.a = await fetch(ctx, x.b);
}
ctx.ui.btnok.enabled = true;
ctx.commit();
}
autoexport(module, x => eval(x));

And more boilerplate, ceremony and fud down the way, if you go vanilla.

Taking a Spin with Ford GoBike and MapD
You're excited about working as a ski instructor. You should absolutely do it.

Now is the time. You have your health and personal freedom. You may have less of these things in the future.

You don't need to sacrifice your 20s to an unpleasant corporate job be happy. You don't need to retire in your 30s to be happy.

Many people take several years for themselves before settling down into a corporate job.

It'll be scary to take the first few steps. That's normal. You'll be amazed at the opportunities that will present themselves to you if you self-actualize, plan for the future ($), and invest in friendships.

I left my job at 25 to through hike the Continental Divide Trail and couldn't be happier with the decision. Many of my friends are ski instructors, outdoor educators, climbing guides, etc and they couldn't be happier with their decisions. Many of us have found enjoyable, meaningful, and well-paying jobs in the outdoor rec industry as we've established ourselves.

PS Seriously, invest in your friendships.
This solution is a bit over-engineered, don't you think?
It can reshape itself, and it most definitely understand network protocols

It really, really can't! That quote about the Internet interpreting censorship as damage and routing around it? Or the one about information "wanting" to be free? Taken wildly out of context.
this got downvoted but its true. you cannot order a 55in surface hub at the moment, from anyone.
Another common approach is thin clients that connect to VM's running on servers in protected rooms. My company does that. From there, most critical apps are web apps they monitor. Specific things that need Windows or Linux run in the VM's. There's even some solutions that support connecting USB devices to thin clients for use on remote VM's with some security on that process. I have no idea if that security is good but there's potential for secure devices designed for these use cases.

It's going to depend on the circumstances and, perhaps, we really will decide over time that moving USB keys among untrusted laptops is simply a bridge too far. But, literally just this afternoon, used a USB stick to transfer a presentation to a (supposedly clean) speaker laptop that hadn't been preloaded like it was supposed to be. The circumstances (~100 person event, no rehearsals or heavyweight IT support) made that seem reasonable.

Cybersecurity is indeed important. But it's about managing risk, not minimizing it no matter the cost. And what I'd do at an event like this one is quite different from Defcon where I'd take the most stringent precautions possible.

Go be a ski instructor/bum for a few years and see how you like it. You can try to pick up a few small coding gigs on the side. Or maybe the ski resort will have some programming projects or whatever you want. You can always use your Masters later. No need to get on the treadmill now if you don't want to. A friend of mine worked on yachts for rich people and is now running investments for them. The point is, the sky is the limit man. Or in your case, chase the endless winter!

This eruption has been going on for 35 years, and there hasn't been a mass evacuation yet. I wouldn't worry about it.
I can kind of relate to this. Actually I have a tendency of being depressed since I can think straight but I managed pretty well. But as well I know since I'm aware of the concept of 9-5 - I guess with the age of 12 or so - I am pretty sure I cannot stand this monotony.

Fast forward 8 years: I'm happy to be out of school. Studying is very tough but Physics in University is actually more interesting than anything in school. 5 years later I'm finished with my studies, there was some tragedy in the family and I'm heavily depressed and little confused.

Actually I wished I had taken a year off, taking some random job that barely pays me and enjoy myself the rest of the time.

Stupid as I was I still continued to work part-time and the other half of my time I co-found a startup. Afterwards I take on a 9-5 job in another city where I know nobody, all my colleagues being significantly older than me and slowly but surely life got more and more dull.

Another 8 years later and I find myself in a fundamental tone of being depressed, although I have truly enjoyable times at least once a week. Luckily I also work part time since a year, that definitely helped.

Let me repeat myself: if you feel 9-5 isn't for you and you feel overwhelmed, take some time off and enjoy yourself. You'll never gonna be that young again. (Also it is indeed possible to work part-time as an Enginner but expect job search being at least 10 times tougher and longer.)

This is why I went from just reading/commenting on the front page stories, to actually starting on the New tab and then working to the front page.

I also see a ton of upvoted stories on the front page with no comments. I always thought the focus of HN was the thoughtful conversations that took place around topics, not the accrual of fake internet points.

I'm pretty sure the article implies this is for user-facing applications where the user would manually extract it once to a place of their choosing then run it from there. I think you're missing the point of the whole article.
So malware writers will switch to different techniques to obtain ransom. For example, there was an online illicit marketplace akin to silkroad that ran years before cryptocurrencies were even invented. It used Western union money transfers, if I'm remembering correctly, and ran for years before law enforcement was able to shut it down.

I think you're disregarding that these are huge companies whose business models and moats would be significantly disrupted by a GDPR-like law. To quote GoT, chaos is a ladder. This could help new innovative companies compete, at least in the short term, against these established behemoths.
