I went to the Cup Noodles museum in Japan a few months ago. I thought it was extremely interesting. They had all the things I would expect to see at a Cup Noodles museum; e.g. history, products, biographies, company troubles followed by towering success. On top of all that, they let you make your own personalized Cup Noodles and also have a restaurant that sells Cup Noodles from the Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean markets (it seems India was in there too, but I don't remember for sure). The best part was the Cup Noodles ice cream. It was curry flavored ice cream, served in a styrofoam cup, and contained all the freeze-dried Cup Noodles meats and vegetables as crunchy toppings. It wasn't the best thing in the world, but it wasn't half bad either.
How can one determine if LoJack is present on their laptop (Linux user here)...
That's very natural, and we see this kind of clustering in many contexts on HN. You're right that a few posts in quick succession starts to feel like "all the time". Users come to HN to find unpredictable things, so the feeling of "haven't I just seen something about this" makes them cranky.

> The main issue with using ActivityPub for decentralized git forges boils down to email simply being a better choice. The advantages of email are numerous. It’s already standardized and has countless open source implementations, many in the standard libraries of almost every programming language. It’s decentralized and federated, and it’s already integrated with git. Has been since day one! I don’t think that we should replace web forges with our email clients, not at all. Instead, web forges should embrace email to communicate with each other.

This is true. But the problem they’re solving is that email as a protocol is great, but the UX of most standard mail clients is trash. Especially for mobile. Consuming the protocol and providing a better UX will incentivize people to switch.
The former, I think. I can often "zoom out" but often just in one or two dimensions, for example I struggle "zooming forward" in time.
My opinion is that in commercial space there is a dramatic cost savings to be able to control power, HAVC, and other OPEX which is easy to understand.

However for the consumer I also feel we haven't seen a killer IoT device yet, and who knows when we will..

I do think the power of IoT is the ability to improve your quality of life or remove repetitive tasks. Right now it's in it's infancy...someday soon that iwatch or alexa will be very human like and instead of # of steps etc...it will soon see your blood pressure and heart rate not that healthy...and it will begin to suggest things to do that correct the issue..maybe never telling you it's exercise...more simple...why do I have to set the sprinkler schedule, the sensors know the weather..

I think there are amazing opportunities in answering your question...making ioT more humanistic...making it almost disappear..do you think much about the LTE version used in your mobile anymore?

Great Question..

They do if they end up divorced. If you are earning enough money to support your spouse, guess what? If you get divorced, you get to continue doing that!

You will support your spouse directly via alimony, usually for a period half the length of your marriage, but if you were married 10 years or longer, this does not apply and there may be no set end to alimony. Mine was $1800 per month for 4 years.

I have 40% shared custody of my kids (they actually spend more non-school hours with me, but I digress) and still have to pay $1700 per month in child support, because (at least in CA) you are required to maintain the same standard of living as the children had during the marriage.

It may not be about income and finances during the marriage, but if it goes wrong, and you are the one that has been providing the support, prepare to swallow some very bitter pills.
fastmail.com - I used gmail since the good old days when I bought an invite on ebay. Yesterday, I switched to fastmail with my own domain. I'm not looking back.
A bit off topic, but if you wanted to get better savings (aside from coupons), try adding your products to a cart and leaving it alone for 2-3 days. Often, online places will offer you a significant discount by having items in the cart and not checking out. It's their way of getting you back in even if it means selling at break even prices.
Thank you. You make great points for me to take back and reflect on.
Because a rational person knows that there are trade-offs in programming languages.

Is it rational to love the fastest languages? Do you rank your programming language love by an arbitrary speed index?
It’s not, really. Getting there from a long listed of pinned deps can be hard, but staying there is easy

If you update regularly and have decent tests, it’s easy to find and isolate the problem. And if it’s more than you can fix that day, pin it for now and try again later.
Every day on Facebook should be forced logoff day. Or, at least, incognito mode day.
Huh? FastMail has had a fully-featured calendar for years.
The gods are sandboxed, so unless they've discovered an escalation vulnerability in the multiverse substrate, they can execute any permutation of possible behavior but never affect the lower layer. If that happens, it's back to "turtles all the way down" as we then try to figure out what's running the multiverse VM.
I already live by the dogma that my local machine is the lone input into master on the remote server of my Gitlab instance. And that remote master never inputs into my local copy of the repo.

What better UX is awaiting me and my new developers by taking an email-based approach?

Edit: clarification
Favoring those who are price sensitive isn't necessarily benefitting those who are less wealthy (this wasn't explicitly stated, but it's often implied in praises of price discrimination, please let me know of this isn't what you meant with this comment). Wealthier people often have time to find better prices, or have others find better prices for them. Also, people with better information skills are often better at identifying the best price (and people with such skills tend to be better off in general). A poor person balancing several jobs may not have much time to research prices.

On priniciple I'm usually okay with rewarding diligence and thoughtfulness, but penalising those who lack the ability to perform this diligence and thoughtfulness may not be the best thing in this case.

Code formatting makes your comment unreadable on mobile. Any chance one could simply use “>” like everyone else does?
I think PRs are logically the same as Perforce changelists. The fact that you can pick apart a PR into multiple commits does pollute the history when you merge, though, unless your tools treat the PR as a single atomic commit (for bisection, etc.)

I have never treated the individual commits inside a PR as anything other than "I'd like to backup my workstation to the cloud now", but if people are treating them as something meaningful, I think that's a mistake.
This is all the more remarkable as Churchill, whatever his other qualities, demonstrated terrible military judgment in WWI (and, some argue, in WW II as well).

I was surprised to learn that instant noodles were created by an immigrant to Japan. I always thought Japan doesn't have many immigrants, and makes it hard for them to achieve anything within Japanese culture.
> [..] bigger positive impact on the world than any other YC startup by actively increasing the GDP of the internet

How is selling more stuff on the internet better for the planet? If anything online sales with all the additional packaging and logistics is worse than traditional retail (at least when looking at ecological factors).
There's a difference between:

"This is not the revolutionary act of genius people portray it as"

and

"This is so trivially easy anyone could do it"

Tesla and SpaceX are trying to do things that have potential utility. Things which will advance the state of their respective arts even if they fail. There is no shame in "merely" doing that! There's also no need to inflate it into something it isn't.
a protocol is merely an agreement, no?
> we do more asymmetric cryptographic operations now

Could you use session keys to take some of the load off, exchanged using asymmetric crypto, or are you already doing that?

Also, cool thing about Rust is that you can start writing parts of a C or C++ code base in Rust, and slowly switch over. This is exactly what Firefox is doing with their browser. Could you convince your company to let you try to rewrite a small part in Rust?
Abolish the Death Penalty
Once your test suite is big enough that it won't run within a minute or two, it's kind of hard to keep a "green on each commit" workflow, though. Especially with UI and visual diff tests in the mix, I certainly don't want to tie up my local computer for a full test run when I'm just fixing a small bug; pushing the commits in a branch and letting the full suite run against that while I move on to another task is a much better use of resources, and that's where the PR model seems most useful to me.

Are there workflows that avoid this problem but still enforce every commit being green?
Why only 2.0, not 6.22?

How would this happen? Insects are very different genetically, and can't even come close to cross breeding, which is how the gene drive is spread.
You can consume all the quiet in specific area at a specific time. If that's not a limited resource then nothing is.
put up barriers. but ultimately it has to come from deep inside. i had a bad habit for 22 yrs - nail biting. i took a job after freelancing for 8 yrs and stopped cold turkey because I wanted to be presentable. I had tried to stop countless times before.
> pretty sure associated Press is the same.

You’re joking, right?
Would you agree that SpaceX and Tesla are not inventing any fundamentally new technology? That they are engaged in evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, work?

One can say "this is not a revolutionary thing" without simultaneously saying "this is utterly worthless". Avoiding the hero worship and the personality cult does not require throwing out any idea of useful things coming from SpaceX or Tesla.

Have I regretted for majoring Computer Science?

1 million percent yes!

Have I regretted becoming a programmer?

I have no idea, as I was never given the opportunity to become one!

I'm 36, a genuine generalist, the standard "jack of all trades, master of none", and obviously I'm doomed in this miserable field.

Am I looking for something else to do?

Yep, but I have no prior experience to anything else.

If I had the opportunity to travel back in time and kick my butt for choosing computers and technology, I would gladly do so.

I miss my childhood so much...no cell phones, no internet, no FaceBook or Instagram.

I feel like a 90 year old grumpy grandpa -_-

When I say 'single payer' (or payor as an en_UK spelling might prescribe) I mean a system with the following features:

* Everyone is covered by one pool
* The pool is funded externally
* absolutely no incentive to defer detection
* absolutely no incentive to defer treatment
* absolutely no incentive to defer care
* because everyone will be covered by the same system in the future.
* Competition can still occur as far as offering services /to/ the pool.

Compensation for services will probably be some form of rate per area determined by an auction/bid system in advance.

That's nice. Why bother questioning Google about an unreleased product when they can question any of the other big tech companies that _already_ do this?
Not speaking from any authority, but I'd imagine because 6.22 can still be useful in certain applications and Microsoft would still want to exploit that.

Then again, there's FreeDOS which happens to be used in a ton of places that MS-DOS otherwise would be (BIOS update disks, car radios, etc)

AWS announces cloud backend support for Vue.js apps
People are always unhappy with new UIs (just look at what happens when Apple tries to change anything) and hacker news seems to be pretty negative towards all of the big tech companies (often deserved but sometimes not) so it's not always the best barometer for these changes.

> NSA controls the DNSSEC roots.

Is this any more true than saying "NSA controls the web CA roots" i.e. the NSA could infiltrate one of the hundreds of certificate authorities that browsers trust and issue a malicious certificate?

If so, and if NSA is part of your threat model, then I would say that STS doesn't help very much either.

What's more interesting is the issue of transparency. Are STS clients going to be requiring that the certificates for the HTTPS resources they access are present in a certificate transparency log? CAs are allowed to issue certificates that aren't logged, for privacy reasons I suppose, but there would be no such excuse for a "DNS transparency" log of DNSSEC keys for top level domains. Logging all of these keys would be orders of magnitude simpler than logging all CA issued certificates on the web.
"Both sides are the same" false equivalencies are the argument of the intellectually lazy.
I'd hardly say email works perfectly. It's very lossy due to spam prevention. Running your own email server that's trusted by others isn't easy. Whether data is encrypted or not is hit and miss.

It's less terrible than some other alternatives, that's all.
It has pretty much nothing to do with your experience level, your familiarity with the project or the language or tooling. When those things matter, they amplify this phenomenon, but the baseline effect is already high.

It’s a function of requirements being ambiguous by design. Non-engineering stakeholders have a severe need for requirements and specs to be fungible and ambiguous, such that whether or not the state of the project satisfies requirements is fundamentally not codified in any objective document and no test can reflect useful objective measures of it. Tests can only loosely approximate it and the ways to do so are always shifting and changing and up to a subjective interpretation of some non-technical people.

Perhaps the only objective measure that non-tech people will agree to be specific about is financial cost, and even then usually only after it becomes a problem.

That’s every project in a product-oriented tech company period, and anyone claiming otherwise is full of it.

There can be isolated, tiny pockets of maintenance work or last stages dev work once you pass a point of no return when business people can no longer sustainable lobby for requirements to continue to be ambiguous and fungible, and finally you can start proving things with accurately scoped tests, but it’s so late in the game that the idea you could do something like TDD at that point is comical.

Instead, becoming a good product-oriented developer means in part learning how to write well factored tests on the fly at the same time you are writing the code to be tested, and keeping testing code clean and set up with fixtures and set up to run in highly automated ways, so that when you’re inevitably ripping stuff out of the implementation for the 18th time due to yet another priority pivot from sales, you can nimbly also update the tests as you go.
Not sure what you mean. A basic HTTP webserver can be implemented in a couple dozen lines of code using only sockets in most languages. Something more complex requires more code, which is often packed into a "framework", it doesn't belong baked into the language.

Ask HN: How to impove in CI/CD
CI/CD concepts are crucial parts of each not-so-small software project. Proper automation and consideration of probable issues support team through the whole journey.

I've seen companies ignoring it or doing it wrong in their concrete case.

I want to improve in this domain because DevOps quality is correlated with a company's success (defines processes in so many ways).

What is the best way to acquire practical knowledge in CI, CD and DevOps? The historical perspective could also be super interesting!

Thanks
Desired is what you want to happen, expected is what you expect to happen, and observed is what happened with the current run.
You have a push-only workflow, and 100% of commits are made on your local? Frankly, I’m not sure what you’re even using Gitlab for in this setup; it seems like you might as well just rsync your working directory to your remote server instead, since you don’t have to approve, merge, or reconcile commits from other sources. There’s nothing distributed about your version control needs.
That is a good point that whichever approach displays the most bugs in a given team is likely to just be whatever is the most common approach for that team, by simple base rates.

I’m not sure how we could objectively decide if either of these two approaches is definitively better, but in the specific, restricted case of a framework like Scalding, I’d strongly wager that avoiding in-lining ends up better in the long run. Those cases also have little connection to the weak module design issue you brought up, since it’s usually a module with de facto map reduce boiler plate and then just a few isolated places with any actual implementation, and when those parts are expressed as huge in-lined anonymous functions inside Scalding data type wrappers, I know right away it’s a bad code smell.
I've thought about the gaming aspect. I'll put this idea out there, for any enterprising HN visitor who wants to take up the mantle: I think there's a general need for quiz technology that is difficult to game. I think this is a technology that could be applied in many different domains.

The disenfranchisement angle is important and is something that I haven't thought about. Thank you for pointing out.

I've made data entry software for the past 20 years. I've had plenty of tasks where users just wanted autocomplete off, many of them for privacy and security concerns. From a UX perspective, it's usually distracting and not useful on large forms, especially on fields that have small comments that tend to vary only slightly but at a part in the value that's cut off by the stupid drop down that doesn't expand beyond the width of the field for some reason. You get a huge list of things that all look the same. And sometimes that stupid long list is blocking a part of the form that has data you need to see to know what you need to enter into the field you're on.

There's a 100 other great reasons on there already. I really hope they don't do this. Most of my user base uses Chrome and I will start getting old tickets re-opened that I won't be able to fix without horrible hacks.
Can't make this assertion without seeing a distribution.
