Any CI/CD overhead should not be unique to microservices though. I've worked on monoliths with fully automated CI/CD pipelines, tests, etc. I haven't noticed any difference in the amount of overhead/ALM work required between monoliths and microservices other than the number of tests, scale/time of deployment, etc.
Those are both problems that have nothing to do with currency or the economic concept of 'currency devaluation.'

Inflation has barely been present in the US for the last 10 years compared to historical levels.

The reason your healthcare bill and your rent have increased much faster than inflation (I'm guessing you're in the bay area) is because of US federal government failings in the case of healthcare; and in terms of rent the geographic limitations, rapid growth, and local government failings of the area you've chosen to live in.
With Constellation Deal, Canopy Has the Chance to Be Google of Pot
Agreed. Considering how important this problem is, you'd think there would be a generally accepted solution that was both effective at finding the right candidate and efficient with resources (both the candidate's and the company's). As far as I know, there isn't one.
Think about it like this....

A surgeon might go to school for up to 12 years to acquire all there advanced knowledge.

It seems like after all that time, there jobs should be so complicated that it would be beyond the understanding of a layperson. But when I go to the doctor I expect that person to be able to explain what is wrong with me, and what they are going to do to fix it. So even with 12 years of education, there isn't REALLY a significant barrier of understanding between the average adult an the doctor.

Now take a I.T. worker who has a 6 month degree from a technical college. He may be able to set up an intranet for the office. But could he explain the difference between a local network, and the wider internet, how the data is processed, and what a webpage is made of, in a way that a layperson could really understand without prior knowledge?

Programming quickly takes people into the realm where intuitive knowledge is of little help. Its very easy to get lost, and even to a programmer who does PHP, certain things with JavaScript can feel like magic.

What I'm saying is that it is a rough environment, and feeling Impostor Syndrome is probably really common, and should be expected in this field. I think in many ways it gets worse the more advanced you become in a specific domain.
Landmark Seventh Circuit Decision Says 4th Amendment Applies to Smart Meter Data
Deliberate and structured hiring and mentoring of under-represented groups.
You have no problem ignoring all the hard work that goes into becoming successful and your comment comes across as... one should just sit around waiting to be lucky. You say that during the golden age of internet based business opportunities and funding. I suppose that you think Tiger Woods was lucky enough to win 79 tournaments and 14 majors because he got lucky?

Opportunity = hard work + luck

We as individuals should strive to learn how to be successful by looking at those who are successful, and many of those qualities are right in front of our faces. Hell just search for "discipline" or "confidence building" on youtube and one can find how to apply the correct qualities within a few hours. Try David Goggins if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Regardless of which you blame, if you intend to change ideologies (not saying Venezuela will), then you take out the head of the current system.
Would it be sane to use this to run Python modules in node.js?
Usually, yes. However you can substitute lower quality ingredients, or you can implement a "shrinkflation" strategy:

https://steemit.com/money/@dedicatedguy/shrinkflation-sellin...

You can also manipulate prices at scale where you raise the price of some goods in the CPI basket while lowering others keeping "inflation" or CPI "low." If the marginal profit on the goods you're lowering was already relatively high and the marginal profit on the goods you are raising was low, you could find a point of arbitrage where you come out ahead on profit without moving the needle on inflation.
It's OK that was only 13 months because it turns out that the least ethical federal prosecutors are also the dumbest.

> No young person has ever been hired as a structural engineer, mechanical engineer, water resources, etc, etc without at least a bachelors.

But that's not a degree requirement (aside from legal requirements), that's excess in the labour pool. Once an employer has so many people to choose from, then they have to figure out some methodology to reject people. No degree is one of the only legally acceptable forms of doing so, so it is the most common.

It's a subtle difference, but an important one if you are the one joining the labour pool. Even with a degree, you're going to be competing against a whole lot of other people for the same work. Not an ideal situation.

In constrast, you see a lot of tech companies on this list because tech companies don't have much choice in hiring right now. They're lucky to get one person to apply. They don't need an arbitrary filter, nor can they expect to have one.
It's hard to argue there is not a lemming effect in the market. If the "spook level" reaches a certain threshold, then a mass of investors all bail out at once, and it snowballs. Professional investors are trying to time their sell point so that they bail early in the crash instead of late. (Warren Buffett has mostly ignored this strategy: he just waits for good deals to appear, such as low PE ratios, regardless of the general market trend.)
TLDR: if he'd called his company something other than his name, he would be in a better position.
Inflation is measured in local markets is it not?

In Canada it is, yet shelter inflation numbers are almost exactly inline with overall inflation in all regions, regardless of whether prices are up over 100% or not. Reality has no effect on the printed number.

Oh sure, this is explained somewhere, but the point is looking at the numbers as a reflection of reality is a poor idea
no it's not. Cost of living is a different calculation than CPI.

It's funny, what you hated about Eve is what I liked. Success was about brains, persistence and relationships, not grinding or mouse & keyboard skill (although those certainly helped). Not totally unlike real life.

It's been five or six years since I played though, no idea what kind of hot garbage it's turned into since then.
International law is complex. Having a full-time employee located in another country can lead to a lot of legal unknowns. At the very least this requires a company to spend the money to understand if they are exposing themselves to any international laws that are unknown to them. I am not a lawyer but have run businesses in the past and legally that would scare the hell out of me. Also, benefits were brought up by the other commenter but it wasn't addressed in the legal context. How do ADA and FMLA and other benefits work when the employee is living in another country? These are all questions that are a burden on a company. Why should they legally have to shoulder the burden?

Having fully remote employees within the US is a large burden in and of itself. It is very very hard unless a company has resources that can address that. Each employee in a different state or location is basically treated like a separate office. You are basically asking a company to open an office in Mexico.
Does this account for state and local workers who have pension plans that are heavily invested in equity markets? I have a family member retired from law enforcement who doesn't own any stock but receives a six figure annual pension from CalPERS, and so has equity exposure indirectly through that portfolio.

I don't buy your argument in the slightest. Slippery slopes exist, but the whole point legally is to NOT allow us to go down such slopes. The law defines the (fuzzy) lines. Once it seems to be slipping down a slope, there will be a point where the law (judges) will stop slipping.

If there's an organic restaurant or grocer in a neighborhood, it makes sense to market to those who prefer organic food. There's nothing stopping anyone of any race or background from preferring organic food other than price or education/awareness etc.

Short of laws that ban targeted advertising in general, there will never be a law saying that you can't target people with some consumer preference.

If you tried to avoid black folks by not showing an ad to people who like stereotypical black consumer products, you'd be more likely to get away with it. There would be some burden of proof that you were doing this as a proxy for the protected class.

The core point is that our laws are more likely to have effective loopholes that undermine the actual intention than to have slippery slopes that take the intention and go way too far with it.
So you can either spend money on useless junk that is advertised to you, or you can buy stocks in the companies that are producing the junk and the ads. What a choice!
Financial education in schools, or some sort of scheme where the benefits of long-term investing are made viable for poor people.

A start up could do some mental trickery / game theory that benefits poor people. Say a start up takes 10% of every pay check, but buys all your groceries. They invest the difference into your 401k. The person gets groceries and a retirement fund, without having to know about investing.

Obviously this doesn't really make sense, but the idea is that poor people don't have financial knowledge, don't know where/how to save money, don't have the time to cut costs, etc.
That was the first thing I tried :)
Bill gates, bezos and zuckerbeg aren’t really good examples of “wealthy” because they are so beyond wealthy that it’s not even really worthwhile trying to emulate them for practical purposes. The very definition of the ultra rich is that there are only a few of them. (Realistically no one is going to become a billionaire, and it’s not even worth trying really. 100 million is already unlimited money for all intents and purposes) So it’s much more practical to think about people that are able to provide for their families comfortably. When you start thinking about wealth in terms of billions, it completely skews perception of what actions you shod be taking, and is ultimately a pretty unrealistic and unnecessary goal. I see so much “entrepreneurship” garbage peddling where kids now think being an entrepreneur is about becoming a billionaire and redefining entire industries. When it’s really much more practical and useful to think about how you can run a small business. If you get good at that then you can run a medium business and make make a few million which is plenty enough to be happy and live a good life.
What underlying ideology? Socialism? There's nothing that says socialism or some form of it can't work.
Most wealthy people did not start off with zero money and connections. Most wealthy people are born into privilege. They can afford to fail and try again. They have family and friends that can help them access resources and connections that the rest of us don't even know exist much less know how to get ahold of.

Despite the notion of the "American Dream", in our country, if you are born poor you will most likely stay poor.
Yes but those 10% rich people didn't necessarily get there by avoiding unnecessary crap like coffee or cell phone bills. They most likely got there from legacy or pre-existing accumulated wealth.
Indeed, I believe that the three keys to success are wealth, education, and work, in that order. If you don't have wealth, then education is next. Perhaps education is like a kind of wealth.

Rich people are likely to tell you that work is the most important, because they tend to have a heroic self image.

The editor in a concrete form is one thing. Like what can the editor actually accomplish in terms of features. I'm not sure which of Emacs, Vim or Neovim would win this one.

It also depends if you assume out of the box feature set, or potential feature set. Like with added plugins and customization. I feel Emacs has the potential for many more features, and does have more in my experience, but not out of the box. Vim has a slight edge out of the box.

The other thing is the editing UX. The modal editing Vs key-chord editing. That's where I feel there is no all around winner. I find modal is great for small edits as I said. And single mode with key-chord I find better for long writing sessions, where you actually type a lot.

Are you saying you find modal to be best at both of these use cases?
Ask HN: What will be your career advice for a soon-to-be data scientist?
Some context: After working for about 4 years as a Software Engineer (mostly backend and platform), I have decided to pursue a masters in Data Science and will be switching my career to this field. My intention and interest is to work in a role where application of data science can directly affect the business and I am particularly inclined to work for a FinTech, an investment bank or a Hedge Fund.

Any advice in this regard would be really appreciated.
Thats not really inflation.
Statement on Police Activity on the Road to Black Rock City
> They are also complex

I would say the complexity is largely in deployment. Otherwise, I find microservices much simpler to reason about.

As an example, keeping a bunch of small, isolated microservices behind queues means that I can reason about them very locally. I know what data they own, I know their interfaces, and I don't really need to think 'outside' fo them - they just send other asynchronous messages out. I don't need to think about dependencies very much - if a downstream or upstream server fails it is irrelevant to the microservices, so long as the queueing system is up.

It's a bit more annoying to get infrastructure and whatnot set up, but not a ton.

> expensive

Maybe? Shouldn't finger grained scaling be cheaper in some cases?

> require much higher expertise

I don't really agree. Again, by keeping things small and by maintaining the ability to reason about components locally, I think that it's easier to work with microservices than monoliths.

> Due to the monolithic software architecture, it was difficult to add new features without affecting the entire system and it was quite complex to release new changes, since we had to rebuild and redeploy the entire product, even though we changed only a few lines of code. That resulted in high risk deployments which happened less frequently - new features got released slowly.

From the article. For a startup the ability to add features quickly is pretty important - especially early on.

I'm not advocating microservices first for every situation, but I've built systems microservice-first and it's been fine.
Nitpick – a distributed web issue tracker keeps issues with the code in same VCS

For the same reason that the success or failure of other companies doing open source should be of concern. Company funding and structure get a lot of open source made. Industry involvement supercharged the open source community. But if it won't make money, industry won't do it. Industry will decide whether to do it based on past performances.

VC-funded startups produce a substantial amount of open source. If what we see at the tail end of this funding boom is a bunch of startups doing open source fail structurally, rather than merely by falling short of numbers, VCs will notice. There will be less funding for startups on any kind of open source model. And therefore less open source.

When we look at projects and define success only in terms of project continuity, and not individual outcomes, we dodge the question of why folks should get involved in the first place. Some baseline motivation will always be there from the bottom, from hobbyists, activists, and the obsessed, and the top, where enterprises use open source for cost reduction and cost sharing. Whether anyone shows up in the middle has a huge effect on what open source achieves, as a movement. And to what extent open source represents a viable opportunity to proprietary products and services.
Fusion: A Collaborative Robotic Telepresence Parasite That Lives on Your Back
Me too. I worked on some good projects there a few years ago and now this. Is there somewhere a “for dummies” analysis / explanation of the chain of events and decisions that led to the current situation in Venezuela? I can’t fathom how it is possible even in the most corrupt place in the world to reach such a sorry state.
Startups solicit seed and angel money at their beginning, meaning from the start someone outside their company, who does not work at the company, has an interest in expropriating surplus labor time (perhaps in the future) from those doing the work.

You this have an enterprise from the beginning set up like this. The startup is the beginning of the organization which perpetuates "inequality", it is its main purpose to do so. Thus it will not have a role in its destruction, other than in a dialectical sense.
looks like it
Ha, you've no idea how good they are at this.

It's a high-tech surveillance state presiding over 1.5 billion people with a history of crushing (quite literally, sadly) or 'disappearing' any signs of dissent.

Simply naming someone is not 'a plug'. It's just naming someone.
It'd be nice if there was an actual global version of the American Global Entry/Nexus/Sentri system. I know coordinating between many countries would be a pain, and a lot of people don't like the idea of being added to a government registry and having biometric scans and a background check run, so such a system is probably not feasible for everyone.

However, I have zero regrets signing up for Nexus due to frequent travel to Canada. Nexus includes Global Entry and TSA Precheck for less than the price of Precheck alone. Flying between the US and Canada usually just requires a couple of taps on a screen and you're done with customs, and often times driving over the border I don't get any questions at all.

I do understand that we shouldn't have to pay for this expedited service and it should be available to everyone, but I'm constantly surprised by how many frequent US/Canadian travelers don't even know it's an option.
I would be replying to the original poster if I were replying to the original poster, wouldn't I?

Thanks for clarifying. So, if you are writing from the perspective of the dehumanizing system that sees the precariat as mere "bodies", then it is "bodies that…" not "bodies who…"
I don't know why, but for some reason the juxtaposition of traditional, brick-and-mortar brand images with tech blogs about building modern application technologies is amusing to me.

Yep, now I see this vague explanation on https://commonsclause.com :

> Why not AGPL?

> The AGPL was drafted in a different era where Cloud ecosystem was not nearly as well-developed. After deep legal analysis, many of the AGPL’s features were determined to be insufficient towards some of the requirements modern projects face.

> For example, much of the value for cloud-based software comes outside of the actual code (i.e. hosting) thereby nullifying many of the incentives to enforce source-availability. In addition, many of the AGPL's features can be more restrictive towards an end user that wishes to incorporate software into a new work, which makes a source-available license with additional grants more permissive.
Source?

From what i gather, most millionaires (not super wealthy) had relatively common jobs or business and became wealthy through savings.

Those that inherited their massive wealth aren’t that common.
Can anyone recommend a similar article for Rust?
Absolutely not. The code of conduct was created to help produce a welcoming and supportive community, and if Tony being kicked out for being neither welcoming nor supportive counts as 'weaponizing', then that's a very strange view. I've met many of the people who were involved in this and they are amongst the nicest, friendliest, accepting people you could meet, and about as far from 'sociopath' as you can imagine.

This idea of a hostile takeover and such is a figment of Tony's imagination and a deliberate distraction equivalent to Trump's referring to the Mueller investigation as a witch hunt.
I personally couldn’t care less if the people I’m hiring went to college. When I interview someone, I’m interested to see if they know enough about the thing I’m hiring them to do to solve a specific problem, if they seem like a hard worker and if they are able to learn new skills. I’m sure college degrees are good for some companies hiring practices, but I don’t even ask to see a resume. All I want is work samples and or a good interview.
Looking at Maduro and the clowns he surrounds himself with makes it clear that it's really just a bunch of idiots running things. Chavez was a died in the wool marxist, but the failure of that ideology (as it always does fail) has lead to a massive brain drain. Now the tenth-tier morons are in charge, nominally supporting socialism but really it's just a narco/klepto state.
You will always be better off with a job because there has to be an incentive to work.

But those with a job could subsidize those without so they can stay in school or live life in decency. Like, mid-range Android, not iPhone 10. But still decent.

> If you understand PCA as "take the SVD of the data", then the operations seem arbitrary. But if you understand it as, "construct a low-rank approximation in the L2 sense to the data, or its covariance", then it's not.
