Ask HN:Continuous Delivery for an On-Prem Installable Product
How can we have a continuous delivery for an On-Prem installable Product when we need to support multiple versions? More importantly, in such products, the codebase is not in a single repo. The repos can grow/shrink across versions.

To elaborate more on the Problem statement. [ ON-PREM Installable ] Let's say you roll out first version( v1) of your product and you deploy it to 2 customer environments. Once you deploy you need to support like providing hotfixes, minor version upgrades. In the meantime, you continue to innovate and add new features / remove a few features in the next major version(v2). But since you already have customers on version v1 and it will be the choice of the customer to accept/reject the newer versions. You would get new customers for version v2. So now you have 2 major versions out there with customers using 2 different versions of your product. So the problem now becomes 2-fold. You need to have your team continuously support both the versions. Now the easier thing would be to discontinue the older version as soon as you have new version rolled out. But the downside is you cannot term your customers on older versions as active customers, neither they will be able to back you on the new innovations that you added to the newer versions.

Hope I have been able to elaborate on the problem. Any suggestions?
Amazon keeps saying there's discounts on the b2b site but when I joined I don't see any difference.
While more specific titles are better for descriptive purposes, the title as it is is not wrong. The name "Aadhaar" does not unequivocally mean "The Aadhaar service backend".
At least, that's what the paid online "run your own dropship business" courses would have us believe...
There are just as many garbage native applications. There's no good reason a good app can't be built on web technologies. At least with the web, the app is going to work cross-platform and be sandboxed.
Or another way: the data in a frame buffer is not the same as the data in a png file.
is messing with sqlite database safe while its opened in the browser? is it even possible? I know for example Chrome locks History database while running.

I was thinking of different approach, an extension implementing firewall shim on top of cookie/localStorage/sessionStorage. Selectively prevent the storage in the first place.
"Fun" fact - afaik you cant disable/limit localStorage in Chrome/Blink, you can only bulk disable all forms of data storage including cookies.
That's a lazy and ineffective way of making an argument. It's akin to telling your children to go spank themselves.

If OP wants to make a convincing point, the proper way is to propose a convincing argument, not "Think about how you're wrong."
Do they? By how much? Immigrants have usually low wages. Anyways, in Western Europe, the increased demand (which is probably smaller than in the US), those things are easily canceled by the added costs to public healthcare + social benefits.
I am highly skeptical of Aphantasia, as it's impossible to evaluate what someone else believes they see. I think it's much more likely that Aphantasia is people (like me) who make sharp distinctions between what they can imagine (rotating colors on shapes etc etc) and what they see when looking at something for real - e.g - the detail of a loved one's face.

I challenge anyone who believes they have a highly developed mind's eye to draw such a face purely from memory.
They do on LinkedIn and on their CVs.
Karl Marx:

As soon as land becomes private property, the landlord demands a share of almost all the produce which the labourer can either raise, or collect from it. His rent makes the first deduction from the produce of the labour which is employed upon land.

...

The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen. We have no acts of parliament against combining to lower the price of work; but many against combining to raise it. In all such disputes the masters can hold out much longer.

...

Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate. To violate this combination is everywhere a most unpopular action, and a sort of reproach to a master among his neighbours and equals. We seldom, indeed, hear of this combination, because it is the usual, and one may say, the natural state of things, which nobody ever hears of. Masters, too, sometimes enter into particular combinations to sink the wages of labour even below this rate.

...

A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.

...

No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe, and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged.

...

Wealth, as Mr Hobbes says, is power.

...

POLITICAL œconomy, considered as a branch of the science of aThe first object of political economy is to provide subsistence for the people statesman or legislator, proposes two distinct objects: first, to provide a plentiful revenue or subsistence for the people, or more properly to enable them to provide such a revenue or subsistence for themselves; and secondly, to supply the state or commonwealth with a revenue sufficient for the public services. It proposes to enrich both the people and the sovereign.

Oh, silly me, that's Adam Smith. So hard to tell them apart.

I have still not found a decent automatic transmission for mountain driving, off-road or on. The manual override makes it do-able but it's a jerky ride because you can't use the clutch to ease downshifting. All these years and most transmissions still want to race when you let off the brake. My Wrangler is better about it, but it's just not something the automatic transmission is really designed for.

The People do not have stake at company A. Company A does not share the true values of the People. Company A is now banned. Repeat until all companies comply.
This is the second denied passport story I’ve seen recently. The first one was here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/the_americas/us...
I have a feeling that driving a manual will eventually be akin to learning to ride a horse - people who love the sport will still do it and pay for it, but the general public will regard it as something far from their lives, whereas it once was a common skill.

Driving a manual, especially on a track teaches you a lot about the physics behind the machine you are operating. For example, few people consider how weight transfer when cornering can either help you or send you into a spin - electronics handle most of this for you and when decelerating, computers won’t let you shift.

I do have to wonder if texting and driving would be a lesser concern if both hands were occupied... Probably not, but one can dream!
I gather "1+ C" is "power capability" as explained at https://learn.adafruit.com/all-about-batteries/power-capacit... ?

With current batteries, there are just many tiny 18650 cells connected in parallel / series to get the desired power and voltage, right? Are you saying there are some unstated engineering limitations that would hinder getting to the desired "C" by connecting more battery cells in parallel?
Somewhat off-topic, it depresses me that passport requirements are so ingrained. Wikipedia:

> ...up to World War I, passports were not required, on the whole, for travel
> within Europe, and crossing a border was a relatively straightforward

> During World War I, European governments introduced border passport
> requirements for security reasons, and to control the emigration of people
> with useful skills. These controls remained in place after the war, becoming
> a standard, though controversial, procedure. British tourists of the 1920s
> complained, especially about attached photographs and physical descriptions,
> which they considered led to a "nasty dehumanization"
Where “city” means “not rural.” The vast majority of those are in seas of sparsely packed single family homes separated from the nearest businesses by miles of busy roads, not walkable/urban/transit connected cores.

Consider the Bay Area, population 7 million, with closer to 1 million of those in SF and Oakland. Then consider that the Sunset and Richmond, also basically suburbs, make up a huge chunk of SF’s land.
are we talking about a middle class 20 year old dropout, or the three kids the woman in this story is raising?

not that it should matter, though if you want to help more people, help women with kids. people's lives are complicated in so many ways. it doesn't help to blame the victims (though i prefer to see the folks living tough lives -- especially when that involves also caring for others!! -- as fucking badasses).

(a) let women own their own bodies and lives, and stop blaming them for how fucked up our culture and laws are when it comes to sex and pregnancy

(b) value kids and mothers. stop underfunding childcare, education, and overprotecting domestic abusers and the patriarchy.

Mention it anyways, that is don't ever hesitate to post your opinion. Those who can't tolerate the topic aren't worth your argument/time but a lot of people wouldn't mind. Including me, an immigrant myself (not to the US though).
Have you written your story somewhere? Would really like to read it.

Particularly, I think going from a $200k job to starving must be quite the whirlwind journey.
Sure, but I was just saying that to me moderate traffic didn't bother me when I had a stick, as was OPs complaint.

Yes and no.

My spouse can easily access anything family related - pictures, documents, passwords (keepass) from their computer. The NAS and the Colo Server both present as shared drives on the network and they use it almost every day.

The USB drive is plug and play and has copies of anything important.

However, all my git repos, websites, tech projects etc will probably not survive my passing. I don't really care about that.

They will still be backed up and accessible on the NAS, so if someone in my family (I have a few technically adept people in the family) wanted to check it out, my spouse would be able to give them access. Honestly, I don't think anyone would care, but who knows.

All passwords and access details are in KeePass and my spouse uses that everyday so knows how to use it,

My colo server is paid a year in advance every year, so it would chug along for a few months before the provider shut it down and shipped it back to my house (again, my spouse knows how to get it shipped back).

All in all, I think my family would be able to access anything truly valuable without too much trouble, and who cares about the other stuff anyway.
I think that article misses out on a couple of points:

1) Central banks do have the ability to control monetary supply. This is exactly what quantitative easing is -- the fed purchasing securities with funny money to drive the price of things up and spur artificial inflation and call the resultant increase in market prices 'growth.' That article was written before we started going far off the deep end with monetary policy.

2) Modern monetary policy is based around faith. If people have faith in a currency, it has value. When that faith wavers, the currency is worth less than the paper its printed on. As an amusing (but not necessarily relevant) aside that's already the case in the US coinage, where we've had to pass laws prohibiting the melting of coins as the metal is now in many cases worth more than the amount of money they're supposed to represent! The entire purpose of pretending the money has intrinsic value is not some holdover from the gold era, but to try to convince everybody the money has intrinsic value.

---

The real reason the USD has remained so powerful is because it guarantees access to oil and oil remains the most valued resource in existence. And so holding onto USD ensures you have are indirectly holding onto access to oil, which has value everywhere. Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Syria -- these nations all have one thing in common. They expressed intent to no longer peg their oil prices on the dollar and to start trading primarily in different currencies. Haven't you ever wondered how arbitrary our Mideast relations must seem until you consider this? Or why we 'waste' trillions of dollars to no apparent end in these nations?

Because what we're doing in the Mideast is very much intentional. We're best buds with Saudi Arabia - one of the most oppressive regimes in existence and a huge sponsor, and source, of terror. For instance 15 of the 19 hijackers in 9/11 were Saudi. But all that matters is that Saudi Arabia plays its role of an obedient lapdog when it comes to the petrodollar - so we're best friends forever. If they ever indicated genuine plans to move away from the USD, expect for us to suddenly realize they're not a great country and urgently decide we need to 'bring democracy' to them.
I started my career as a developer, working at Promon on the Tropico R and RA exchanges, and then shifted completely to Linux and open source development, which is when I founded my first companies. I don't really do a lot of real coding any longer, though.

I see the symptoms you describe, of our startups being less globally impactful [1], as a natural consequence of a smaller, more internally focused [2], and less mature ecosystem, but I don't see all the dysfunction you allude to. I have worked with poor leaders and good ones in Brazil and abroad, and I can't say Brazil tends to any of the extremes of the spectrum. Yeah, there's an oligarchy that has a strong effect on the ability for an entrepreneur (or employee) to "make it", but name a country where there isn't one?

I write this mostly for the benefit of this thread, as I don't think you're really approaching this discussion with useful data or an open mind.

[1] although you have Movile, 99Taxis, iFood to serve as counterpoints to that generalization

[2] your comment on global reach being an important metric reminded me of Nubank, and this article from earlier in the year: https://epocanegocios.globo.com/Empreendedorismo/noticia/201...

This experience has really improved over time. Twenty years ago, in some locations, the average Walmart customer would have had more luck operating the space shuttle than they seemed to have with the self checkout. Long lines of people who apparently had never seen a TV, let alone a touchscreen interface, chased me over to Target. I was that theoretical consumer who was happy to pay more... Something has changed since then, because I can't remember the last time I was in a Target.
I have both once failed fizzbuzz in an interview and gotten offers from FAANG companies (different interviews, obviously). At the time I failed the fizzbuzz, I even knew it was a fizzbuzz question i.e. I'd read Jeff Atwood or Joel Spolsky's blogpost introducing the concept. I just got very very nervous. I work at Google now.

There's not much to say really. I think people for like me who get very nervous at live coding interviews, the variation between best and worst performance can be massive.
As you've mentioned the real cost of food and farming in the US is effectively heavily subsidized by the fact that many of said farms employ illegal immigrants for labor, both because they refuse to pay minimum wage and because Americans as a whole seem to refuse to do said jobs.

Legal immigration has a comparatively small effect due to the fact that they're part of the skilled labor force and generally fill gaps in our society. The number of people actually holding H1Bs is so small that I find it hard to believe they have any major pull on the various sectors outside of the few firms that are known to be abusing the system.

Fixing the system in a humane way that also doesn't blow up the lower classes is a herculean task.
JS is full of fun facts, like that ++ is different than +=1, or that ToInteger may return negative zero.

Better naming can't justify these head-scratchers. As an implementor all you can do is write a loud! comment! referencing the spec, and add a test or two or a million.

Anything that implements a spec needs copious comments to justify the implementation. clang for example is chock-full of references to the C99 standard.
> For low power wireless systems, still, though, the bulk of the energy is spent in TX and RX.

That is very highly dependent upon the system.

Some systems are all about leakage--these spend most of their lifetime on a shelf and a couple of days actually active.

Some systems are all about sensors or actuators and the communication is in the noise.

Some systems are all about calling home, and those require good TX consumption.
Has anyone ever calculated the maximum possible wage for a job? Take strawberry picking for an example. If run by a non-profit, what is the highest possible wage? Would be interesting to see this relative to the actual wage.

I bought my first automatic in 2011. Prior to that I drove all manual transmission cars from before I was able to legally drive in 1986 until 2011. In 2011, my truck configuration was only offered with automatic transmission. I really hate how automatic transmissions shift, usually not where I want them to and sometimes inexplicably (possibly for emissions reasons) when you are not in the power. While 6 speed automatics are better I still find the gear spacings and shift points to be really irritating (even on luxury cars).

Also, I vastly prefer the control a manual gives you in low traction situations over automatic transmissions with electronic traction control.
Same way as oil and gas has been contained for hundreds of millions of years: there is an impermeable caprock that contains the reservoir/aquifer.

In many cases, aquifers are so huge that injecting even a few million tonnes of CO2 makes only a small difference in pressure. And if the pressure did increase too much, we would drill a well deep at the aquifer bottom and take out some of the water.

Human greed lol or they're poor and nobody wants to help them because they're too busy covering their own asses. Basically there's enough resources in the world for nobody to live in poverty. It doesn't work because nobody's willing to make it work, which is just human nature of selfishness.
I enjoy driving a manual because of how it feels to change gears. I don't think a racing Sim will ever be able to capture that feeling because you are only moving a joystick, not forcing a complex machine to change gears.

An anecdotal observation. In the majority black city where I live 50% of black men are unemployed but if you look at the numerous construction sites workers are largely Hispanic.

I worked at a hotel for several years in the early 2000's the housekeeping staff was overwhelmingly black women and men but shifted dramatically to Hispanic women and men after new penny pinching ownership took over and started using some dubious temp agency.

I don't begrudge the immigrants, I'm second gen on one side and wanting a better life is completely reasonable. I do however think it's completely disgraceful that we turn a blind eye to employers that break the law because they don't want to pay a living wage, or want compliant semi-disposable workers.
The leaked email claims that 29% of Latino voters supported Trump. That's the highest figure I've seen quoted for that demographic. (Until now, I'd seen estimates only go as high as 27%).

You can get into a slide easily by disengaging the clutch temporarily. Few dual clutch cars can do this e.g. Porsche GT3. You also can do heel-toe downshift without unbalancing the car's weight distribution, if you do it right. Newer cars blip the throttle for you so you don't miss it, but that's kind of missing the point.

As someone who was born in the US at home and had a delayed birth certificate, stuff like this worries me. I live overseas at the moment, and if the US one day decides to not grant me a passport renewal, what happens? Am I not allowed to return home?

I understand not allowing things like baptism certificates or non-government recognized birth certificates, but a certificate issued by the state should never be able to be revoked.
Drive a Porsche newer than 2012, like a 981 or 991.1 or newer. The PDK transmission is very good, almost telepathic. Slight push on the throttle and it downshifts into the meat of the torque band. I currently drive an E92 M3 DCT which suffers from the "lag", which is why I'm on manual mode most of the time.
