Can you expand on what you are saying? It doesn't really make much sense to me.

Are you saying that if the code doesn't solve the problem the wrong thing to do is add more to it? What about when you have multiple options, you can't just avoid adding more instructions necessarily?

Can you give a real example about what you are talking about?

Part of me is thinking that you are saying new grads are not readily able to come up with a clever solution and instead brute force. But you are not saying it in so little words, or in any intelligible way to me.
They have shoved out the most overtly committed hate and crime subreddits, but they have been promoting only slightly-less savory subreddits to replace them.

The default front page was changed (a few years ago by now) to allow any subreddit to upvote-brigade to the frontpage, leading to flooding by trash subreddits like /r/CringeAnarchy (anti-transgender bullying) and /r/ImGoingToHellForThis (racist jokes) and many flavors of redundant mindless anti-Trump fake-news/clickbait-title subreddits (including /r/esist, /r/politicalhumor, and the ironically named /r/AgainstTrumpSpam which is actually "Against-Trump Spam". )

From my experience, running etcd in cluster mode simply creates too many problems. It can scale vertically very well and if you run etcd (and other Kubernetes control plane components) on top of Kubernetes you can get away with running only a single instance.
It's really not that complex when you understand the reason for these tools, and you don't need to know all or even most of them. You learn them as you encounter the problems they were built to solve (or once the problem becomes too burdensome to manage with a simpler solution). Until then, you don't need to learn anything.

OP's roadmap should include some information about why each tool is useful. Without that, it's like someone telling you how to become a mechanic by giving you a list of tools to buy.
That's a nice practice

As a first text, I really like Introduction to Probability by Blitzstein and Hwang. It's not quite as mathematically sophisticated as some of the other treatments (e.g. you're not going to see the sigma-algebra treatment of events over a sample space), but it has a very heavy focus on building good statistical and probabilistic intuition which I think is invaluable for studying statistics in and of itself rather than statistics as a subset of measure theory. The book imparts a good knack for being able to quickly glance at a statistical problem and see "oh it's one of those kinds of problems," or "hmmm looks like there's a good symmetry argument [or other general approach] I can use here," which continues to reap rewards in more advanced and specialized statistical studies.

Those quirky blogs are still out there. I have several myself.

They are harder to find, I think, and they are easier to ignore when there are slicker, more commercial things competing. I think maybe the real thing that changed is that all of the "hobbyists" with homepages at that time were unusually well educated and specifically knowledgeable about the internet and that's not true anymore. So, instead of the web being written almost exclusively by people with substantial college (or simply very well read and self-educated) and very similar nerdy interests, parts of it are now written by people with other backgrounds and interests.

Ask HN: If you had 100 talented people for 100 days, what would you work on?
Imagine Jeff Bezos offered you 100 of his top people (engineers, designers, product ...) for 100 days and told you that you could work on whatever you wanted.
The only condition is that at the end of the 100 days you need to start paying salaries in order to retain these people.

What would you work on?
Since you're using a throwaway, could you provide some real details to back your statement? E.g. experience level, skill sets, region, jobs you aren't interested in applying for, what kind of things that you think could make the situation better for you, willingness to relocate, willingness to accept a shit job with a good company to work your way to a better job, etc?

I ask because my mom is a 68 year old woman with a high school education in a rural community and she's had probably 6 jobs in the last two years. They aren't awesome paying jobs but at least half of them were full time and enough to squeak by. She just tries them on for size and quits them if they don't fit. Definitely a job hopper, but I don't understand how she can get so many jobs in a depressed area in the midwest and folks like yourself remain unemployed.
Interviewer here -- "If you want to form a multi-node cluster, you pass it a little bit of configuration and off you go." .. "Raft [etcd] gets you past this old single-node database mantra, which isn’t really particularly old or even a wrong way to go. Raft gives you a new generation of systems where, if you have any type of hardware problem, any type of software instability problem, memory leaks, crashes, etc., another node is ready to take over that workload because you are reliably replicating your entire state to multiple servers."

As to how many will fail is anyone's guess. Retail has already started to have a reaping (with help from Amazon). If a trade war kicks off price increases for goods from China, that probably won't help a lot of them.

Are they not citizens? Surely a person has a duty above personal wealth. Past generations certainly thought that way.
While we're discussing hiring trends, what's the state of the "full stack" meme? Is it really realistic to expect a developer to be an expert in frontend, backend, and database design? They'd need to be an expert in JS + whatever the framework of the week is, CSS, some backend language, and SQL. Increasingly, companies are adding significant DevOps skills to this list, too.
This was apparantly the book that the Arab Spring relied on heavily as a "how-to" for non-violent protest:

One of the people behind overthrowing Slobodan Milosevic also wrote a book, reviewed here:

It says he's trained people in the past in non-violent protest so he might even help you.
Alarm goes off at 8:15. Snooze it until 9:30. Get stuck on reddit until 10, quickly rush to get showered and out the door. Drive 30 minutes to work, happy my job doesn't really care when I get there as long as my work is done.

Leave work around 6:30, have a quick dinner with my wife before she goes to work. Play games, watch YouTube, read reddit until 2 AM. Go to bed.

> Ignoring broader social issues and focusing purely on the government, citizen monitoring can be (and often is) utilized by governments to curtail free speech. People joke about the NSA monitoring them, but that absolutely has an impact on free speech

It has an impact on speech. It does not have an impact on freedom to speak. The fact that a social architecture changes behavior does not mean that it restricts it. This difference is important.

This does not mean that the right to anonymity is not important. It may well be. It just isn't the same thing as the right to free speech, and they shouldn't be conflated. I understand the desire to conflate them - anchoring the right to anonymity to the more recognized right of free speech gives it greater moral force. That's why people make arguments like that. But in so doing it lassoes the even more important right of actual free speech to the probably less important right of anonymous speech. It tethers them in a way that exposes the weaknesses of the lesser right to the greater one.

Free speech is the right to say whatever you want without government interference. The right to anonymity may be important to, but let it stand on its own.

> If the government can monitor which events you show up at or what you read, does that make you more likely to be put on a no-fly list? Does that make it more likely for the government to pursue a separate legal action that it otherwise might ignore?

Lots of things make you more or less likely to do various things. That is not the same as curtailing your right to do them. Changing organ donation from opt-in to opt-out increases the right at which people choose it. That is not the same thing as forcible organ harvesting.
Better that users be spied on by no one (like with Briar or Signal), but digital protectionism like what Russia and China do isn't infeasible.
Multi-platform solutions don't always seem to be the most optimal/efficient solution on each specific platform.

Isn't it baked into most programmer's best-practices? Don't repeat yourself? Writing two programs that do the same thing doesn't sound very DRY.

> Every design decision you make represents roughly equal work because, heck, you’ve gotta do it by hand either way.

This seems extremely fallacious to me. Surely different decisions would have vastly different workloads? I would imagine the impact to be even greater for hand-crafted stuff, because you aren't automating any of the workload. I know that is just one sentence in the whole post, but it also seems like one the core arguments.
Serious question, once the things that still work have been repaired, resold, or dismantled for parts to repair other things. Is there ANY way that with north American labor costs and insurance, OSHA standards, pollution regulations, energy costs etc, that it's economical to start melting down printed circuit boards for metal recovery?

Because either I am guessing this article is delusional, or they're completely ignoring the part where the dirty messy work gets done by people in a poor country for $1/hour wages.
> The Democrats don’t want to pass anything without passing DACA because they get no political points

Which Democrats feel this way? What evidence is there?
I feel like it can be realistic if that person has about 5-10+ years of experience and a lot of time on their hands to keep up on frameworks. But a junior level full stack person, probably not.

Backend devs I find usually also do a fair bit of database work, at least at a basic level, and are usually where the devops work comes in (migrations, upgrades, keeping the system running). As experience grows, I think most people at least get a sprinkling of these different fields, even if they didn't intend to.
True! You're absolutely right on all counts.

With that said, prop 13 has wreaked havoc on budgets all across California. School funding is a state-wide problem. And I would go so far as to say that the whole of the Bay Area experiences a housing shortage for what is mostly the same set of reasons.

So while you're right, there may be some commonalities to be found.

Honestly I would be fine with no minimum wage. I also tend a little more libertarian than most. I am fine with the minimum wage setting a floor to how much people are paid because it cuts down on explotive practices.

That said, putting the minimum wage to an amount that is surviable at 40 hours a week removes people on the margins that would benefit from a job that paid these than a living wage. Note I am taking as a given that a business will only employe someone if they on average produce more benefit than they cost.

Two examples of people on the margin that would otherwise be priced out.

Frank is retired and draws social security he is old and doesn't move as fast any more. He gets a job with the park service cleaning/resetting campgrounds. He enjoys being outside, interacting with campers, and the extra money is nice. Since the service pays per spot cleaned, Frank will never make a living wage. I think Frank should be able to take this job.

James just got done serving 5 years for felony distribution of crack. Seeing his son only once a month has made James decide to go on the straight and narrow from now on. As an ex-con it is hard for him to find a job. In fact because ex-con tend to be bad employees most business don't bother. If there was no minimum wage a business could hire James at a rate of the average ex-con and he could prove himself a good worker and move to a better paying job. I think such a job should exist for James.

I think these are two examples of productive economic activity that would otherwise be impossible if the minimum wage was set to a living wage.

IIRC there are native rust bindings for syscalls. The syscalls themselves are implemented in C++. I have no idea about the user space, but my impression is that rust is a first level language for things like the ui.

EDIT: it looks like they have interface generators for their APIs, which includes rust support as a first class citizen.

Ask HN: Chrome autplay policy has YouTube whitelisted?
For work I have to use a site that has an embedded YouTube video as a "cover image". It always plays automatically and bugs me a lot.

I double checked chrome://flags and autoplay policy is set to "Document user activation is required." Reloading the site with the focus in DevTools the video still plays.

Went to Chrome Canary, doublechecked chrome://flags and it also autplays there with no interaction.

I'm very disappointed if Google/Chrome is whitelisting YT videos embedded on third party sites while every other service needs to work without autoplay.

And yes I know I can use plugins, other browsers and FAX - this is about the apparent whitelisting of YT from the policy.
