Nationalism breeds patriotism which breeds selfishness. I still prefer Rabindranath Tagore’s human to human connection over nationalism.

Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live - Rabindranath Tagore

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high.
Where knowledge is free.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments.
By narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth.
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way.
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee.
Into ever-widening thought and action.
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
The Darwin award implies people "eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner". I don't think that doing what you were doing for years without any danger is now considered idiocy.

It's like in 40 years a toaster or an oven keeps running if you don't disable it through your "home controlling mental device" and burn your house to the ground while you are sleeping. Oh, and you cannot opt-out of the "mental device", you have to use it like it or not.

Old people have the mental muscle to think "I have the car keys with me, therefore the engine is off" built after decades. It's a serious design flaw to not offer at least an opt-out for these people (like key not IN the car, engine shuts off).
> my specific firm, non-negotiable suggestion about the infrastructural changes that PGP admins need to institute.

The good news is I don't think anyone is going to make the mistake of trying to negotiate your suggestion.

It'll be interesting to see the flaw that many pgp clients all seemed to implement in the same/similar ways.
The markets that cryptocurrencies are potentially going to replace include NASDAQ, NYSE, LSE, TSE and all the other national centralized stock exchanges.

Cryptocurrencies are a superior way to represent stocks, especially software company stocks where the service can be tightly coupled to the currency itself.

There are multiple reasons why cryptocurrencies are better at representing company ownership shares:

- There is no need to trust a middleman or government to maintain your holdings. There is no room for bad actors.

- Transparency regarding who owns what (assuming that the ledger is public).

- It can never go bankrupt unless all users of the network abandon it - But they all have a strong financial incentive to keep it running.

- It doesn't need government regulation to function properly; in fact, it transcends government boundaries. Loose government regulation makes it extremely liquid. Imagine if you could buy your lunch using company stocks directly instead of cash.
> Ive contemplated suicide but i dont know if thats a wise choice.

I don't think it's wise but you can't take it from a rando. So I'd seek objectivity from sources you trust. Many get this from friends. Sometimes friends can't provide everything you need.

If you've never tried therapy or are skeptical about it, I've found that the healthy way to think about it is as an objectivity machine. It's a black box for you to pay money (a.k.a use your nice tech healthcare plan) and get a person who isn't incentivized to lie to you or hurt you / is sworn to your best interest. The value they provide is objective feedback about how you're thinking about the world. Your mind's way of viewing things has blind spots; you're limited by what input data you got as you moved through the world. When you're making decisions / synthesizing your experiences it's incredibly useful to get validation data so that you can measure the performance of your brain-model.

^ Also since every black box isn't equal, if you find that a therapist isn't providing the kind of throughput or trustworthiness that you need, you can shop around.

If you think life isn't worth living, please seek some objectivity because it's a rather drastic decision you have to make that can't be made again.
I'm 60% sure it's people who read articles from Adtech Corporations about GDPR and not from people in the EU having to deal with it.

The only bad thing that I've noticed about GDPR is that some niche sites that rely on ad revenue are getting fucked over by Google (if you turn off personalized tracking for your visitors you still need the consent to track, there is no difference) so their income might break down.

That's quite sad but on the other hand they're exploring alternative methods of income and I'm certain adtech will adapt.
Haha I do not, sorry for the random stat. I think my point still remains though. For most companies, more value is created by software developers than by dev ops engineers. You disagree?
The paper isn't self-evidently fradulent to me. Since it wasn't part of the discussion in the dedicated hn thread it seems like you just have some special insight to be able to make such a strong statement?
> Heaven forbid someone is making more money than they know what to do with than you are.

I see what you're saying; however, all things being equal, I would want compensation comparable to my peers if we were doing the same job. Why do the same job at two-thirds pay?
I don't see any such quote in the article. :/
I would think a driven engineer would be driven because either 1. wants to work on complex problems 2. wants more compensation. I guess there's complex problems at Amazon but not more than any of the other big ones, and probably less than some startups so in conclusion I don't see a driven engineer self-selecting for Amazon.

The author mentioned bash scripts and make as an alternative to Docker in production environments. Does anybody have experience with these techniques, (or can perhaps link us to articles / tutorials on how to implement them) Thanks in advance.
Until a fix is released and they've installed it, one would assume.

The paper is being released tomorrow morning at 7am GMT so we should learn more then.
I've always handled PGP via cut-and-paste of the ascii armored block, through a text file on a ramdisk (or between systems), then using command-line pgp or gpg to decrypt, and the reverse. Not always on a VM or machine without external network access, but for signing keys for software and stuff, yes. It just seemed too easy to mess up auto-decrypt/auto-encrypt and accidentally send out cleartext -- the cut and paste or textfile intermediate step makes it verifiable.

Unless there's a protocol bug where the message itself can include "dump the secret key to a public keyserver on decrypt", I'm not too worried.

(I also don't use PGP for routine communications, because it's so inconvenient to use it, and due to lack of a good mobile solution. Signal, or for routine email, tls to a mail server I control is fine too.)
Under the GDPR that's PII. IP Addresses too. Personal Data is any data relating to a natural person, if you can uniquely identify them that falls under the monitoring/profiling definition of the regulation.
React has an amazingly small surface area and really is quite easy to learn, compared to pre-existing libraries with similar goals.

What makes React seem so daunting is the rest of the ecosystem: Webpack, Babel, Redux/MobX/MST/Apollo/Relay, React Router, etc.

The most common misconception is that you have to understand all of those technologies to get started. Luckily tools like Create React App have started to change that.
One aspect which really struck me was his diametrical opposition to Amazon's famous "disagree and commit" core value. Very interesting to hear the counter argument.

I see what you mean as well. But, I don't think this kind of thing should impact your well being. The guy said in other posts that he can't get into those better companies and is considering suicide. It sounds so odd to me that I don't know if he's serious.
Event sourcing made simple. It sure is simple when you don't care about who can do what.

> This post has been created by A who is a temp. So it must be approved by an editor first. How do I check those things before validating my command? Let's forget about that, but a link (maybe) to the saga pattern and consider it done.

Some things come for free but a lot of easy things become a lot more complex. But this will be hidden to sell the new silver bullet. What's funny is they often use git as an example: remember you rarely use git alone when you want to do things like code review and handling permissions.
Because you probably aren't doing the same job.

Speaking as an employee of one of the big cos, the engineers who get paid $100k base vs $140 base have lower expectations of performance attached to their work.
It's mostly the compensation. I make twice as much at AWS as I did working as an engineer at non-tech companies.

Other comments on this post indicate that Google and FB pay more than Amazon, but I'd probably have to take a sizable pay cut to work elsewhere.
I'm lucky to be able to say that I haven't experienced it directly to be able to answer in more detail but the article I linked suggests that it is a bit of both.

Some senior police officers interpret the rules in a way that suits them, some people say the law as written is ambiguous.

I mostly interpret "Unable" in this context to mean it would require too many man-hours to clean up the database because it has been allowed to grow too large and disorganised. I can't back that up with evidence, it's just something I recall hearing. There are no doubt other reasons and this applies to the overall picture rather than individual requests for removal.

In the case of an individual request I could still imagine that the system is so badly designed that it isn't actually possible to locate all parts of a sample, all references to an individual in the (various) database(s). I've seen environments like that in the corporate world, I assume the government is capable of creating them as well.
Like I said, I don't have access to the switches.

You're also assuming that someone in the DC doesn't mix up the cables. I've seen that happen multiple times.

Agreed, plugging one in at a time isn't the best, but it works and only happens once per machine. Short of writing a lot of code, it is not the end of the world.
What Tolkien was really inspired by was Norse, Gaelic and Germanic mythos. Not to forget Middle and Old English Poems.

Norse:

- The Poetic Edda

- Prose Edda

- Beowulf

- Volsung Saga

Middle English:

- Pearle, (The concept of The Ring being "My Precious")

Welsh:

- Culhwch and Olwen, inspired Beren and Luthien (Silmarillion)

- Red Book of Herghest (Welsh Vellum) directly inspired Red Book of Westmarch

Finnish:

- Kalevala (Story of Kullervo) inspired Children of Hurin (Silmarillion)

German:

- Nibelungen and later work Der Ring Des Nibelung, inspired The One Ring and the myth of Broken Sword reforged.

Norse:

- The names of Gandalf and the 12 dwarves are directly taken from Prose and Poetic Edda

- High Elves / Gray Elves are inspired by Norse Calaquendi / Moriquendi

- Balrog and the Bridge of Khazad-Dum are direct allegory to norse fire giant Surtur and the Birfrost (recently depicted in Thor: Ragnarok)

Celtic:

- The Elves of Middle Earth (exiles) are based on Celtic fae gods, the Tuatha-de-Danan

Sounds like you should quit (unless it's rather comfy like that...).

Man I wished someone would write documentation here, but indirectly nobody is allowed to take time for it. Devs are too busy and it shows if they suddenly start writing any other than the most essential, technical docs, for me it could be a core duty, but I have too much even more important things to do...
To answer your question, I hope it has changed. I was uneasy there with how managers would chat up the young women employees in their offices (with the sliding roller doors) for hours. In a few instances I felt uneasy with the way some people were obviously drooling in close proximity to women, staring, etc. That's what you get when there is tons of alcohol in the office. If the place has not changed I would recommend a no outside alcohol policy and training to prevent sexual assault.
So what happens in winter when I go turn my car on thirty minutes before I leave to make sure it's nice and warm?
Pure strength is not the only metric that is important on most physical jobs. Endurance is another metric and afaik women tend to rate fairly well on that. This is also a mentally tough job, working in confined spaces in the dark with low visibility requires a whole range of attributes other than mere physical strength.

The first place that springs to mind is https://english.stackexchange.com/

I've seen other forums with good quality contributions on topics like this, I think one of them was for people speaking English as a second language looking for advice from native speakers. The name eludes me at the moment but if I come across it again I'll respond here with it.
Me and my engineering team has been working with a combination of Zerotier + Caddy for a while now. We have a development domain and then every engineer has a subdomain, which is just `username.example.com` and `*.username.example.com` that points to their Zerotier address. Since it's all on a Zerotier network, we use DNS-01 validation, which works well.

Each engineer then has caddy running on his development machine with domains such as `server.username.example.com` and `web.username.example.com`.

The useful thing about this is that we're spread out remotely, but can at any point, while pairing or something like that, connect to the services running on each others machines. I've also grown used to simply using my own domain, rather than localhost, when developing, especially since it's served behind HTTPS.
It's Google. you must ask yourself, what aren't they collecting?

Rationality only works if you’re true motivation is financial. I suspect that anyone with the means to achieve a 51% majority is playing a different game than you or I. At that level power becomes the motivation and the power to crash it all on a whims notice is infinitely more valuable than any profit obtained. That scenario is heaps more frightening to me as bitcoin (and other blockchain coins who make it through the inevitable great cryptocurrency filter) become more popular, we may see a power struggle between nations and individual high level players. Who knows though, it’s all fascinating to watch either way. There are smarter people than me studying this every day and it really does feel like we are on the dawn of some societal breakthroughs.

Docker is what gave me courage to expand my skill set with devops!

Previously I was terrified of touching any server for fear of messing something up and then having to twiddle with tens of config files and apt-get. Now I just rebuild the image and deploy. Its 100 times easier.

I missed the ansible train, but my understanding is that ansible is fundamentally just doing the same stuff, just automated and better documented. If you make a mistake, you can mess up many servers and it will be a pain to fix.
What they could've done is do another demo with a live call, not to a real restaurant but to their employee on stage instead. The employee would respond according to a script, but if Duplex reacted accordingly that would be a hell of a demo.
>However, I think the author trivializes the amount of work required to make different types of Python/PHP/NodeJS/whatever apps all work in a consistent way through configuration management, saying "I can just write a bash script or makefile." or "just download roles from Ansible Galaxy". This is so painfully ignorant and irresponsible that I fail to take the article seriously as a whole.

Well, we did it that way for 2 decades without Docker, and the world hasn't collapsed, so?
Culture constantly changes, it's unavoidable even when you love your current culture. If you aren't viewing it as the objectively superior culture it isn't fanaticism.
In EU they're still tracking you, for now. Every time I get near a McDonalds it asks me to take a photo of it.
I see a lot of frontend devs these days who remind me of the interview horror stories about enterprise C++ guys getting a question like "how would you pull 10,000 phone numbers in NNN-NNN-NNNN format from a gigantic HTML page?" and responding by laying out an architectural plan for a hulking >1kLoC monstrosity, because they'd never heard of (nor could they imagine) grep.

On the other hand, obscene overengineering is probably a good way to build a portfolio. Nobody will get hired for demonstrating that they can build an HTML form on a static page.
Geee i guess because you stated under oath your device doesnt drain 1gb of data then we can all quietly go to sleep now.

If i were still at Google, and given this project, it would be obvious to tap into mobile brands feed and only use mobile data plans of those who wouldnt notice that 79% of their data disappear. Google knows precisely what plan you have and what data use and still have for the month period through reading your IMEI and many other tricks.
There are SO many other tech companies out there.
Gandalf falling, fighting demons in the underworld for three days, dies, then resurrected and sent back as Gandalf the White - at first not recognized even by his friends. Will you seriously argue this is not an intentional parallel to the resurrection of Jesus?

Note I’m not criticizing Tolkien for this, I believe his power very much stem from the deliberate fusing of pre-Christian myths with a Christian worldview which leads it to a more straightforward engaging “good vs evil” narrative. I just find it hilarious when Tolkien fans uncritically buy the “there are no allegories” quip.

In other words, you should avoid using a model aimed at simplifying a domain model if you don't have one? Sounds fair...

The canonical description of the domain model pattern (from Fowler, also) calls for it be _considered_ in a case where there are "complex and ever-changing business rules". He goes on say that "if all you have is some sums and null checks, a different transaction processing pattern is more appropriate".

I have seen a lot of event sourced systems, and the vast majority which fail fall into the "not null checks and trivial sums" case rather than the former.
Developed by the same Oracle employees....
"Key not in the car" should be condition enough. I'm having a hard time thinking of a scenario where you NEED to have the key away from the car while the engine is running.

I'd say they are much much worse, but they are scalable and cheaper so that kind of makes up for it.

But the only one who cares is the middleman. They are the only ones that benefit from the scale.

I think I understand your problem. When applying an event, how do you know whether it’s an event that just happened now, or something you’re playing back from months ago?

One solution I implemented was to log all of the ‘reactions’. Then when reacting, I checked whether the reaction had already happened to prevent side effects. For example:

if !reactionLog.happened(reaction)
sendEmail()
reactionLog.log(reaction)

Admittedly, this was a system used by only 200 people and performance wasn’t too much of a concern. Also, if ‘sendEmail()’ has side effects, they won’t happen.
