for sure all of them have pros/cons.

i have been using AWS for many years across multiple companies now. Over the years i got the feeling that the quality has degraded. New services are half-baked (ES, EKS), some newer API's are overly complicated (VPC peering is overloaded for cross-account AND internal instead of 2 abstractions on top of it - why do i need to get confused about all these extra API args which are not needed for internal VPC peering and have to spend hours to finally understand it). Overall AWS feels that they got more sales focused.

i just started to get nightmares with Azure recently, luckily i was able to get rid of almost everything of it (only keyvault remains, since azure does for now have the best offering for HSM). The UI is absolute terrible from front-end caching bugs to strange permissions. MS seems to have to invent their own vocabulary for everything instead of using terminology that most of the rest of the internet uses (which makes finding things very hard), same goes for their API's, its almost impossible to use their API's without these super huge and often buggy libs (try to use REST API auth without a lib...). I am personally also having a hard time to read their documentation.

I did not had the chance to try GC yet but i want to. I know that google services sometimes can be a bit complex to start with, but there is good documentation and reference docs - its usually very easy to just use REST api if you dont wanna use some heavy libs. We recently moved to k8s (i am loving it - continues deploying apps with autoscaling and 0 downtime was never that easy), so as we move more into k8s i hopefully get the chance to try out GC
In the old Data protection Act, it was any data when combined with public records.

In the new GDPR, as far as I'm aware, its the _act_ of trying to combine/process (not sure of the exact wording) to de-anonymise

7 Trends Defining Future of Web Development in 2019
To be honest I don't have much insight anymore, I left the .NET space around 2015 for these exact reasons.
So this has no ethernet, 1 usb port, 512mb ram and the processor is a 1.4ghz quad core.
Those seem to be the main differences compared to the model B+.

I'm struggling to see where this fits in between the Zero and the B. Its $25, so only $10 less than the B but loses most of the non wireless connectivity. But then theres the Zero W. Which does the same, and for even less.
Is this the Arduino to the Zero's bare ATmega chip? Basically the same but all set up in an easy to use package?
There is no shortage of workers, but a shortage of workers who want to do heavy physical labor for almost free and storage of training for free.

We’re funding mass transit at a fraction of the rate necessary, and I don’t see that changing - along as governments are considered incompetent and taxes are considered evil.

Usually this is because customers have gotten used to paying less than reasonable prices. Paying people more is often hand in hand with customers paying more. But people like the first idea more than the second!

Companies will try to only pay staff more when they can justify that to the shareholders as being a way to make more money for the shareholders. A public company exists solely for the benefit of the shareholders and all actions stem from that.
This is nonsense. Sprint athletes are selected on the basis of being physically optimised for sprinting. Basketball athletes are optimised for height. Aspiring ballerinas are excluded from ballet school if they don't have the right physique.

Other skills - spatial awareness, verbal acuity, musical sensitivity, basic cognitive speed - are all on a bell curve, with an upper limit that is genetic.

Hard work is needed to develop talent, but isn't a substitute for it.

Being born with a genome that makes your body short and dumpy means your chances of a career in professional basketball are not high. Likewise, if you have no feel for rhythm you're going to be a terrible drummer. No amount of practice is going to improve that. At best with years of world-class tuition you can aspire to competent mediocrity.

If you have some native ability, hard work can help you outperform someone who has plenty but hasn't developed it. But their ceiling of potential is still going to be higher level than yours.

Business has more of a problem with talent, because the ability to succeed in business is spread across many more variables.

I used to know someone who had unbelievable social and emotional intelligence. He had an astounding ability to read people for character and motivation and predict the moods and future actions of individuals and groups. That's not usually considered a key business skill, but it was absolutely essential to his promotion to board level.

The problem in business is that "excellence" is as often a combination of class privilege and bluster, perhaps with some sociopathy, as it is any genuine indication of competence. Or talent.
OP is here.

We have been working on lots of Vue.js projects recently and decided to extract our knowledge into a starter kit to help other developers save their time developing Vue applications.

I think there would be a big problem with sentimental value also. For example, the old local store that is family owned or the house that you built with a family member who is now deceased.

It's neither an analogy nor simplification. When he speaks about "compiler state" he means "preprocessor symbol table state". When preprocessor processes a file its state is mutated -- symbols get defined, redefined or undefined.

What you propose as a replacement (an in-memory file) does not provide any insight into why the same file preprocessed twice may end up looking different or why order of included files matter.

That's exactly my point. A lot of the big companies today have at some point in their past exploited workers. Basically every manufacturing company started before WW2 or so.
Brick and mortar – is it really dead?
You have an easier answer that is correct?

Looking at the "solution" in the OP, there was a HUGE assumption NOT stated, implied, etc. in the statement of the question: The assumption was that the sides of the rectangles were parallel to the orthogonal X-Y axes. So, the question was badly stated.

For how the question was STATED, my solution may be about the easiest.

> The overlap of two rectangles is an easy question with an easy answer

You have an "easy" answer to how the question was stated? Until I hear or think of a much easier answer, I have to conclude that your statement of an "easy question" is false.

The OP certainly did NOT have a solution to the question as stated.

> If I was an interviewer I wouldn't like this response for most jobs, although it would be fine for a small subset of jobs.

The interview questions were to be for "most jobs". Then "most jobs" should prefer a correct answer, that is, correct for the question as stated.

Or, the question could be important for many jobs working with graphics, rectangles, triangles, etc., and there commonly we won't have specific orientations, say, rectangle sides parallel to the X-Y axes.

> social queues about what is expected

The interview questions are supposed to be challenging and to let the candidate show their capabilities. In that context, "what is expected" should not limit the power of an answer.

If the company wants only people who know not much more and not much less than the people already there, then the company, should not be looking for new people, is on the way downhill, also because of that should not be hiring, and no good candidate should want to work there.

The OP questions were to be about "data structures and algorithms". Well, I used the simplex algorithm, seriously ranked as one of the best pieces of engineering in the 20th century. A special case of that algorithm is min cost capacitated flows on networks, and there is a really cute algorithm there and a cute use of a spanning tree on a network. So, my answer was good for "algorithms and data structures".
Western lifestyle may cause blood pressure to rise with age
Great article! This explains the reason why Google started receiving so much shit since last year. Typically you would see them appearing gradually but for anyone who live on the internet, I'm sure they noticed the sudden sharp increase in Google attacks starting from the end of last year.

It is incredible that the NYTimes were able to obtain some very private information that was presented in this article. It must have been leaked through someone at a very high ranking within Facebook executive team.
Productivity is not profit at all, it's the value produced so indeed ~revenue.

Wages are therefore constrained so that a profit is left after the worker has been paid. Ignoring other costs, profit is equal value produced minus wage paid.
I don't disagree, but fixing edge cases in social securit, while important, wasn't really what was being discussed.

Sure, you could probably eke out some increased efficiency from basic income if it fixes the problems you describe without being too expensive. As far as the wider economic issues though, isn't it just kicking the can down the road a bit?

The big picture is that our society is predicated on continuous economic growth, and that's just not tenable in the long run. Basic Income may be a part of the answer, but we're going to need far bigger changes than that. What changes, I sure don't know.
For me, the key quote in the article is this:

Beef is actually very healthy for you - when the cattle it comes from are raised properly. Grass fed beef not only tastes great, but has many important nutrients that feed lot raised beef does not. Instead of taxing "red meat" and lumping in the feed lot raised meat with the meat that is healthy, why not tax the practices that result in less healthy meat?
Nope. I pay one (the guardian) and I graze the rest because they're very expensive by comparison for at best no better and often worse content for me.

I try to read papers I feel distinctly oppositional to, mainly Rupert Murdoch press ones. Factual content is good but sparse and a lot of opinion masquerades as fact. I don't want to live in a bubble but I can see my on bias is quite strong in this: maybe I just recognize editorial markup more clearly in what I pay for.

I'd rather pay another European or Asian source than the exemplar rates in this article.
I guess I'm not very clever because I don't understand how encouraging inward immigration in search of cheap labour isn't akin to a ponzi scheme. Another thing I never see discussed is: what is the top limit to the population a country can carry without things becoming miserable? Surely at some point inward migration will have to stop unless we aim to have every single citizen of the world living in a single country, and what then?

Also, how is it morally or economically justifiable to let existing citizens languish on unemployment benefit whilst solving the problem of their lack of participation in the labour market by opening doors to cheap migrants?

It seems to me like if we care about our fellow citizens we should all get used to paying higher prices in support of them, which might enable them to obtain the necessities of life in a more fulfilling manner.

> They just choose not to

That's exactly my point. It's not just about aptitude, it's about being interested. In my experience this is the key factor that separates good engineers from great ones: The ability to just sit down and "do it".

> the vast majority of new college grads today started programming in college.

This has always been the case.

Computer Literacy is not the same as being a good programmer, the same way as being able to read is not the same as being a good writer.

It's what most "plumbing" style companies do, by making a separate page for each permutation. It's easy to generate with some stock data for each option and is very good at matching the queries that users actually type.

It only works if the company supports it obviously, but it's a nice win for them and completely legitimate in terms of both search engines and users finding what they need.
I prefer to avoid calling things dumb, but I tend to agree this does sound like it fits the bill. Any clarification would be appreciated. Companies are taxed on net. This sort of itemization makes no sense. So for instance imagine a company that grosses $250 in sales with total before tax costs of $100 in labor and $50 in other costs. With a 30% tax rate, their after-tax net is $70. With a 20% tax rate, it's $80. Suggesting that a company might, for any reason, prefer the 30% scenario does seem quite absurd unless I'm missing something critical here.
On a slightly related note, I used to use a hi-fi stereo equipped VHS (used for recording NICAM digital stereo transmissions) to listen to music, e.g. transferring my vinyl albums to VHS tape. Advantages (beyond protecting the original vinyl) included:

- Quality - the audio format used for recording NICAM audio was vastly superior to that of audio cassettes.

- Capacity - you could easily fit a double concept album on one tape so no interruptions flipping the record over, or even in many cases have an artist's entire back-catalogue on a single tape.

- Indexing - on my video recorder you could even record index points on the tape, so when you had several albums on one tape you could forward/rewind to the start of the album relatively easily.
As a non c++ programmer, what I don't understand is why do people need to write header files by hand. Surely it should be auto-generated from the source code?
Do they have any docs covering what's supported on mobile?

Edit: reading through their issue tracker, looks like they're going to make a good go at it, but it is hard: https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/2062#issuecom...
That might have saved Google+. Of course it's questionable whether Google would have handled it any better.

I'm really hoping we're headed towards decentralised federated social networks. With more control in the hands of the users. Like email + usenet on steroids. Not that those were perfect, but in that kind of environment, everybody can curate their own little corner, rather than putting all that in the hands of a single company.
> I agree, though in this context we tend to term that "competition".

And I'm really happy when there is competition between Apple and one of their suppliers.

What is really sick about what you're talking about, is that it's competition between trillion-dollar Amazon and regular ordinary tax payers.

When Amazon get the upper hand, they get more money, while the tax payers get crappier schools and government programs.

You are literally talking about a corporation taking ('negotiating') bread from hungry people like it's a good thing.
Sorry, do you mean your comment could be a candidate for the `/s` tag?
> - and it will be hard not too look at the older methods as legacy.

You're right, it will be legacy. And the job is to support the business, and that means maintaining, fixing, extending the existing code. The legacy code. It's going to be a long time until the bulk of it is up to date with all of this.
The timber frame itself and the exterior cladding for a traditional garage is extremely easy to build. Two relatively untrained guys with a stack of planks, a mitre saw and a nail gun can build that even quicker than this robot.

Okay, that makes a bit more sense.

People will discuss philosophy forever. That doesn't stop society, rightly or wrongly, from forming consensus that some positions are dumb.

So with my original comment, I am curious (a) if I understand the article correctly, and (b) why some HN readers support a position that, in my neck of the woods, people consider dumb.

There's a large number of companies that have a "Microsoft Strategy", meaning that if Microsoft have a solution that sort of fits the problem, that's what they pick.

Google simply can't sell to these customers, because... They aren't Microsoft.

The weird part is that a large number of these companies will outsource their operations, their own staff will never use Azure services directly. It would make zero difference if their applications run on Amazons, Googles or Microsofts cloud offering, but they have a "Microsoft Strategy", so it has to run on Azure.
Do you prefer it BIG or small?

I should be clear that I wasn't trying to argue that the laws around student loan debt are just, or fair. I'm just saying that one of the alleged justifications for the current state of affairs is that the difficulty of discharging student debt leads to lower interest rates.

Because the news never calls this out. Here's an article in The Guardian from just yesterday:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/nov/13/workers-eas...

> Britain’s employers have warned that severe skills shortages are holding back the economy after the latest official figures showed the biggest fall in the number of workers from eastern Europe since modern records began.
>
> The British Chambers of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses urged the government to deliver a post-Brexit migration system to meet their needs amid signs that the fall in unemployment in recent years was putting upward pressure on wages.

Notice how an upward pressure on wages is bad (because this is from business groups). Even the Guardian doesn't point out how stupid this logic is.
