Plus one for the scathing and unapologetic criticism of Docker. I'm admitedly pretty inexperienced with Docker, but I feel like everything I've read on it seems to have virtually nothing bad to say about it, so it's nice to hear an opposing opinion.

That being said, this also feels like a "Get off my lawn" type of rant from an experienced devoloper who is stuck in their ways, and/or has a little bit too big of an ego regarding their own skillset/knowledge. It's like the author is mad at a successfull project just because they knew how to do all these things before said project came along and combined them all in an easy to use package.

I'm a junior level developer (just finished 1st year of professional work), so I look at these things in a totally different way. Maybe Docker is just reinventing the wheel, but if it makes it easier for inexperienced developers like myself to do things that require a long, complex tool chain, & concepts that aren't obvious to someone who hasn't been coding since the old days, then I'm all for it.

The point is to get work done & get it done quickly. For sure it's important to learn all the underpinnings, but I think junior developers tend to grind out passable work first, and fill in the gaps of knowledge slowly but surely as they go (at least that's my experience). But this is also why I up voted this & one of the main reasons I frequent HN, because articles like this are illuminating, & point me in directions I didn't know I should be looking :)

What problem did email solve?

1. I can send a letter to anyone, because anyone has an address. Not everyone has an email address. Plus I can add small physical things, and it's more personal with handwriting and a little perfume ;).

2. If I need quick communication, I just call them.

A lot of arguments that are anti-blockchain and anti-cryptocurrency (based on other tech besides blockchain) can be used in the same way with email.

I can give you pretty convincing arguments why email will fail because we already have traditional snail mail (which can do a lot more), and phone (which is faster and more direct).

Fact is that cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and other blockchain applications live 100% on the internet, which means it's faster, cheaper, simpler, global (= not tied to countries and specific companies)

It may be impossible to completely design-out abuse potential, but it's still possible to reduce it. Security devices could remain active for a while after someone tries to disable them. Children can't disable devices you put out of their reach.

I also doubt that abusers wouldn't buy devices they can't use for abuse. In most cases I'd expect them to buy whatever is available on the market and only later realize their abuse potential. The fraction of abusers who know how to build such devices themselves is also likely vanishingly small. So if the default is for IoT devices to have a local killswitch, most installed devices will have a local killswitch.

There is no technological solution to all bad people, but there are technological solutions that deprive the vast majority of the opportunity to abuse them.

I wrote this library because I've been wanting to learn Golang for a while. The easiest way for me to learn a new language is to try and port something from another language, especially something that is well-tested. I've always enjoyed using Moment.js in JavaScript, so it seemed like a fun candidate project.

This is my first Go project, so I'd love any feedback on improvements I could make. Thanks for checking the project out!
Sorry, guess I wasn’t clear. There’s folks who think intelligent life on earth could’ve been caused by alien life splicing genes with pre-existing species on the planet. Still rather loony, just in a different way than the abducted folks.

Bold claims. Either this company will be bogged down in patent lawsuits for decades or they'll be acquired if there is even a hint of them being genuine. Doubly so if they have the in house patents to defend themselves. Reading between the lines suggests acquisition is the goal. Ramping up production is going to take lots of investor cash, which they may not actually have. I hear Intel is getting mildly panicky about their loss of relevance ...
"Soviet genocide"? There are numerous problems with that concept, besides the obvious fact that USSR ceased to exist decades ago. Where is the genocide occurring? Is it Libya? Iraq? Yemen? Somalia? Niger?
At the large company I worked at, it was solved by frequent code audits to any team given subdomain of the company's company.com domain. We were explicitly told to ensure that anything not related to interoperability between company properties was to be set on the ourdomain.company.com subdomain. The team in charge of it had heuristics they used to monitor for unapproved infringements on that policy.

If I decided I wanted to visit one of our offshore dev teams, I could book a first-class ticket anytime I wanted to with no approval necessary. If I wanted $2m for some dev effort, I could have the necessary approvals in a day or so. But if I wanted to write 50 bytes to a .company.com cookie, that was weeks of meetings where I needed to justify my team's existence, the value of the feature we were building and prove there was no other way to implement it.

Emails are cheap, quick and asynchronous (contrary to phone), there's a log of the conversation which can be forwarded if need be, and you can attach data to it (document, video etc.).

You can sort your mailbox according to your needs, which gains time and save space compared to, say, hanging folders.
Not sure why I am getting lots of downvote, would have been nice if people actually have some feedback or response.

I am not a front end developer, but I do understand what you are going through.

You, basically, want to invest in something that is future proof and there are just too many options to evaluate. The pros and cons are fuzzy. You are stuck in analysis paralysis. It is sad to say, this is the case in all branches of software development. Just too many options, but none exactly what you want. For backend, it was first Rails, then Django, Node.js, microservices in Go, now Serverless. Somewhere in the middle, there is also Phoenix, Play, and a dozen other stuff that I have not yet found out.

So, how do you really decide?

First, don't believe anyone who says X is dead. May be X's growth acceleration has slowed down a bit. The existing users are all still there and the community is still thriving as it were.

To arrive at a decision, there are only 3 usecases:

1. You are developing a product that you want to release. Then there is no question. No new tech unless absolutely necessary. Learning a new tech and ability to delivery just don't mix. This is especially true if you are doing this in your spare time as you need to reduce your cognitive overload as much as possible. Usually, the older tech have all their corner cases ironed out and are solid and dependable if nothing else. They also tend to have better documentation and community to help out when stuck.

2. You are looking to develop a new skill that will help you land a better job. Take a job portal that you respect. eg. https://whoishiring.io/ . See which tech has the best offers in your locality and how many companies actually use that tech. That is what you should explore first. Of course, trying as many new tech as possible expands your horizons and makes you as much a valuable hire.

3. Just to have fun. Choose the one you like the most. Build what you like. Throw it away when you get bored. Build again.

All said and done, Flutter from google seems to be growing in popularity, though I do not know how mature it is or even if it truly cross platform yet.
>>Either side will see their preference as...doing their job

And in your example they’d both be wrong. Such folks shouldn’t spend as much time worrying about their job description as about what will make the company successful?.

Companies don’t become great by everyone waiting around for only managers to decide when new roles or practices should come online. Employees at any level are allowed to consider the big picture. Why do they sometimes feel they’re not allowed to or would be discouraged from doing so?

If you carefully and thoughtfully put some time into slowly baking your opinions in a way you best guess helps your company end to end to achieve its most strategic goals with dev/ops as one part of that, your opinion will be more respected and influential.

It’s also a management test. Walk into your VP’s office, dispassionately and without self emphasis, make your case about how you should be doing xyz because it makes sense within the big picture.

Most times you can’t lose, even if the plan isn’t rolled out you’ll gain credibility. If you get your hand slapped, it’s a clear signal to switch departments or companies because leaders like that have low success rates, as well as usually not being much fun to work for.
Yea, in America, most restaurants, hell even Mcdonalds, are full service. You still walk in a line through McD's, but you sit down and they bring your order and drink to you, etc.
This is common in the USA at fast food (McDonalds..etc) and fast casual (Chipotle...etc) restaurants.

It is rare for a place that sells their cheapest 250ml glass of wine for $13USD to operate this way.

But likely this was just chosen as a restaurant to fit the discussion of certain types of labour being priced out of SF.
Hear, hear. The stream of encrypted packets that makes up someone's web browsing traffic is a very telling one and transactions of various web apps have telling signatures, which can be then correlated with eg social media updates or other signals that ripple to the target's contacts.

Having tried (and succeed) many times in making Debian packages, I can attest to the value of these "hassles" and ones like them.

Much of the value is just in making sure one thinks about that whole breadth of issues and how they'll affect your environment. You may decide that a particular hassle actually is too much effort for not enough benefit, but at least the decision is conscious and, if it "bites" you later, you know where/how to go back and change things.

Additional value can come from all the taken-for-granted work that's been done over those past 20 years. Need multiple versions of something installed at the same time? Maybe the distro people already have a standard way to do that.

Of course, all of this value can only be obtained after a remarkably huge up-front investment of learning, and, from what I recall, already knowing RPM didn't substantially lessen that load when learning debianization. It's tough to fault the attitude of "fuck it, use Docker for packaging" (for any value of "Docker", including "tarball", "pip", "npm", etc) for anyone whose career isn't Ops.
The monad complaint pipeline
I'm from New Zealand and can also confirm that there are plenty of small cafes and restaurants where you have to order at the counter. It's not a new thing here either.
Yes, confirmed that this is very standard here. You take a number or a buzzer and so on. You've usually paid up front. Very standard in pubs. Sometimes they will run your food out to you but quite you get a buzzer goes off and you're the runner as well.

That means that aside from taking orders, only the lowest skill, lowest interaction front-of-the-house job remains (bussing tables), and if they foot-drag a bit on that, the customers wind up doing it for them...

Switzerland has a lot of high end cafeterias, I’m sure 13USD wine would be considered cheap.
That's like saying a real estate agent should make $8k regardless of what property they sell.

You could argue that, but only by ignoring practical matters of effort/level of service/value that attends a different price.
Sure, there are plenty of places where you get your food and take it to your table yourself.

I also know of a place near me where you order at the counter, and someone brings you your food when it's ready, but they don't "wait on you" beyond that.

Panera (sandwich & soup chain) used to have you order at a counter and collect your food when it was done, but they have been trying to get people to use touchscreens for ordering, and take a radio homing device* to your table so you can be brought food by the people who used to take your order.

*where the low tech solution that would work just as well is to simply ask your name when ordering.
Great article.
So many CSS "tutorials" are really just giving you declarations to reach an end goal. They almost never explain the why and how.
Nice to get a better understanding of the fundamentals.
Excellent article. Well done!
Looking at hash rate shares historically, it is incomprehensible that market share would remain so stable through several generations of mining tech. So the existing system is precisely a cooperative benevolent monopoly, albeit an informal one. My guess as to why the miners don't just turn off their equipment and threaten to overturn any non-monopoly block mining is that they just don't know how much of the speculative bubble is based on their behavior, and acting that way might pop it.
In Santa Cruz we have a bar with no bartenders. It's fantastic. Scan your bracelet (linked to your CC), pour yourself whatever beer on tap you want and pay only for the once you pour. Want one once of 16 different beers? No problem. Can't get that experience at a traditional bar.

The seating is more like a restaurant, so no one is sitting by themselves staring at a wall full of hard alcohol, everyone is facing the room and mingling.

And the notion of the wise bartender with an ear to lend from the movies I never saw transpire in real life.
To each their own, but if I am having a conversation with my wife, I would much rather disturb it for a few seconds than for a couple minutes.
They're usually argued against the actual item being seized, not the owner of the item. Since a pile of money can't really hire an attorney, there's no argument to the contrary, and the state wins.
Or just… executables? My shell is "dynamically linked" to every executable on the system. Git is "dynamically linked" to my $PAGER. My IDE is "dynamically linked" to my compiler toolchain (which is itself composed of several pluggable components which are "dynamically linked" to each other).

The low overhead, easily composable, encapsulated and abstracted nature of processes is one of the things that made Unix an unusually functional operating system in the first place. Shared libraries are great, but I think a lot of the time people end up producing and linking a .so when defining an old-fashioned shell-compatible interface would be perfectly good and far less trouble.

You are literally providing a counterargument yourself. You wanted out, but with some help and effort are now doing fine.

If everyone who wanted to kill themselves were left to their own devices, they would do so, frequently without taking these steps.

We need to "stigmatise" suicide as a society, not because there aren't cases that can be helped, but because if we didn't we'd allow for a hell of a lot such false positives.

It would be "convenient" if AT&T's CEO were to appear in my boudoir tomorrow morning to give me a pedicure, comb my beard, spritz me with Axe Body Spray, and tie my bow tie. But before they decide to do that, I'd like a say in the matter.
Hopefully GP meant a dollar per drink. That seems to be the norm.

We think we can make a huge difference even by listing a few dozen or a few hundred of the highest-traffic email domains.
I wouldn't. There is no service that's being provided, but you will still see plenty of tip jars and a line item for tips if you pay by card. As a business you'd be foolish to not have that, as you see by other commenters they happily part with their money.
Yes. Same problem for fiber fusion splicers. Worked for an ISP that hired a color blind person as a field tech, he didn't last long.
Delivery used to be free from most pizza places and the occasional other restaurant that delivered. Now, almost everyone charges a delivery fee. The idea of tipping on top of that just irks me to no end, although I do it so they won't spit on my food next time. I don't tip my Fedex or UPS deliveryman, why should I tip for food delivery when I've already been charged extra for that exact service?
It's not really comparable as France has universal healthcare, massive social safety net, free education, cheap public transport. A waiter in the US has to buy insurance, own a car, and support themselves when a re establishment shuts down.
Yeah, you nailed it.

I think of managing as keeping a bunch of freight trains from smashing into one another. The manager can't claim to be making things move twice as fast, and it's hard to recognize the absence of disaster as a contribution. But if the managing were going poorly, everyone would be far worse off.
There are people who tip the fedex or ups courier? I didn’t even consider this was a possibility.
Right, but that's an argument for after the crime has been proven. It's not an argument for seizing property just on the thought that one might be involved in crime.

I'll grant that "survivorship bias" may be in the argument. As I have said elsewhere, the thing I am highlighting in the attitude towards previous societies as being "primitive." This is, itself, a highly detrimental bias to the argument being presented in the original document.

We can say that they were different technologically, but based on the frailty of our technological systems now, we really can't say that we are superior to those so-called "primitive" societies.

Yeah, it seems they need to take this issue seriously. Could be a way for hackers as well.
See, at surface value I agree. But at a deeper level I don't. The problem is too many broken protocols exist via RFC only (dns, smtp, etc). Rather than violate that, or force it into something it's not, we should be writing newer, better protocols. The friction against this is huge, mainly by those who capped out at the previous RFCs, though. Email(well, smtp) itself is so outdated and broken, I can't believe it's still so widely used.
Although this seems like a reasonable idea at first, in fact, rule of law and effective courts preceded representative democracy in Europe by several hundred years.

One reason for this is that the big thief at the top -- the king -- benefitted by limiting the take of all the intermediary little thieves. The other reason is that the king had more to tax when the commercial sector was bustling and efficient -- but this meant contracts needed to be honored and private property respected.

Would Bezos benefit from justice at the level of rank and file management? Even if all that resulted was higher retention, then yes. Justice and rule of law doesn't have to extend to every level of an organization to make a difference.
