I don't understand the love that PWAs get around here. All things being equal, as a user I'll chose a native app every time.

As a developer, I'd much rather be working in a native toolkit as well. There's less to learn to get going and the foundations are more stable than the browser and billion lines of javascript from 40 different parties.

I also think it's a lot harder to reason about security with a web app. I might be able to satisfy myself that the app I load today isn't doing anything nefarious, but you could sell your business and tomorrow I might be running a significantly different app.
Thanks, that makes sense and I agree. I guess I misinterpreted a little.

In terms of minimum rates, expect 50% of freelance income to go to overhead including taxes and expenses and (if you’re in the US and this is your main gig) health care.

And that your billable hours will be no more than 30/wk even if you’re doing this full time (once you factor in dry spells, vacation and sick days, and time spent on administrative and account management tasks.)
Most developers I know don't understand containers well... Or they understand containers but not the underlying implications. "What does yum/apt upgrade have to do with node? Why should I run that?".. hell developers typically need a hard-* server guy to remind them to run package updates/upgrades on their languages package manager.. I'm not much of a developer but I end up doing a lot of the Npm and pip updates.
I did some freelancing cloud work recently and was shocked at what I saw out there. From small one person operations to startups to large multinational Fortune 500 corporations I saw the same pattern repeated over and over. People using the cloud to spin up infrastructure that have no experience building out infrastructure and making really bad and dangerous mistakes.

Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others make it simple to get going but the devil is in the details when it comes to building it right, safe and ready for production. Just a few examples:

• Putting RDS SQL Servers on a public IP with no protection

• No templating of servers so if it disappears you have no record of how to get a new one running again

• Servers with SSH password authentication turned on with passwords of “Password”, because SSH key auth was “too hard for our devs”

• No backups because “it’s in the cloud, isn’t the cloud backing it up for me, like iCloud?”

I have an AWS Solution Architect Professional certification and agree you could get a cert and still not be qualified to run or design much on AWS but it does put you ahead of much of what I’ve seen out there.

What do you mean by learnability? It's Linux anyway. What you learn for the Raspberry Pi can be reapplied to any other board out there. The only aspect where compatibility depends on the board is the GPIO part.

Cheapness? Most ARM boards are in the range 50 to 60 USD and I don't know in what world that is not "cheap". Plus, at such prices you can get stuff you just can't buy with a Raspberry Pi anyway (specs wise), so it's not like they are a little more expensive for no reason.

Sorry, if it came across as me implying you pulled that from thin air.

One of the most interesting things we had was the core dumps. Randomnly (depending on memory state) we'd crash rather than dump out memory in the HTTP response. We had all that data going back over the entire period. That gave us a lot of confidence this hadn't been exploited because we could see the rate of crashes plus we could see the actual core dumps to see the memory state when the crash happened.

Having got paid about 100k recently on a business insurance policy that cost under $250/month, I don't share your sentiment.

Besides, even if insurance is negative expected dollars, it's positive EV given loss aversion in most cases.
Google's current vision is to try and shape/control the tech landscape to a point where you have to pay them to be found, distributed on or otherwise operate over the internet. They would like to have all search, social interaction and business services to be transacted or facilitated by them, so they can make money from it. That's at direct odds with all the missions you just stated, and is inevitble because of where the dollars ultimately come from.
people understand that forums are there to get support, and that five-year owners with no issues don't post. but taking down posts that expose a design flaw is terrible customer service, and borderline unethical.

It's doing a fine job keeping at least a minimum of diversity in our political system. Everyone knows we'd move to a monoculture if we eliminated the electoral college. That people are complaining about it means it's working as intended.

This has been going on with Apple for as far as I can remember. Apple puts out a new product, a significant number of people are affected by what seems to be a manufacturing defect, Apple suppresses mentions of it as much as they can, and a year or two later, they offer some kind of a remedy (usually free repairs) to whoever didn't rage sell or return their defective product. And because their machines are barely repairable, users can rarely fix the issue themselves.

This seems to work well for them, people keep clamouring for more overpriced apple hardware and are happy to run on Apple 's treadmill to buy the new iteration every year or two, while running the risk of getting a lemon yet again. So I'm guessing that's a valid strategic decision for Apple and that's why it continues unabated.
There is almost too much ridiculousness in these two sentences to unpack. From the notion that American hegemony suddenly began post-9/11, rather than 70 years ago. To the assertion that Google is deliberately biased toward violence over sex.

The "America == bad, anything I don't like about my country == also America" mindset is a disingenuous rejection of agency. There are a lot of things going on the world today. If gender dynamics and sexual mores have shifted over the past decade where you live, it MIGHT be more closely related to that, rather than Tumblr fizzling out.
Ahh. That's more comforting. So, any wide scale deliberate exploitation would have resulted in an obvious spike of crash dumps.

That leaves whatever the scale of passively trolling, say, Google's cache might have been. Unknown, but probably not huge.

I clearly remember in the late 90s, when all the computer literacy exams were phrased explicitly to use Exel, Word, Explorer. The official European computer competency test (ECDL) until 2013 was explicit about Microsoft products as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Computer_Driving_Lice...

It is hard to convince people like me, who grew up in such level of corruption, that the people who were working for Microsoft as a high-level executive that time, they are not relying on public money any more.

I begrudgingly get insurance for certain things because I hear enough times how insurance will find a way to avoid paying for even those supposed protections. I hear that plenty times from homeowners where insurance refuses to cover anything they should have paid for due to improper evidence and it’d have been cheaper to save and invest the money spent instead of going through the adjusters while, say, waiting for a new roof. Then there’s the costs once you do eventually file and receive a legitimate claim for your liability (the primary upside of group insurance as a policyholder) and many insurers will refuse to carry you going forward. So it’s almost a one time benefit for many. On the flip side, insurance fraud exists but is definitely prosecutable while I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone winning against an insurance company’s lawyers for being denied a claim unjustfully.
Poor quality food never was illegal in France.
For a time, fast food joints avoided France because they thought there would be no market. There were wrong, and they are everywhere now.

It doesn't mean the value of good food has cheapened. If anything, now that there is a point of comparison, the opposite is true.

Good restaurants, from Michelin 3-star to inexpensive "plat du jour" lunches, are still there. So are long lunch breaks and good home cooking. And I am talking about people of every age.

Humanity's Destiny: A Technological Singularity or Spiritual Transcendence?
I’ve been going down the certification road for a little over a year and should have 7 (now 4) by the end of the year. The company is paying for them and paying me above the local market average (I’m not talking about SV money here) - especially considering that I negotiated not to be made lead.

I started down this road as a dev lead for another company that wanted to “move to the cloud”, but at the time I didn’t know anything about AWS. Studying for the associate cert was mostly to get an overview of AWS so at least I could talk intelligently about from the infrastructure side and know what I didn’t know from the development side. I knew I would have to dig into the SDKs to actually do anything.

They hired a bunch of consultants who were old school net ops guys that didn’t know anything
about AWS besides how to mirror on prem infrastructure. They were “lift and shift” guys. Of course it ended up costing more. I didn’t know then that AWS always costs more unless you are willing to change your processes, let a few of your infrastructure people go and let AWS do the “undifferentiated heavy lifting”.

I saw the situation was hopeless and all the company wanted to do was host a bunch of EC2 instances and the netops guys and consultants were so entrenched that there was no hope of me actually getting any real world experience with AWS.

I changed jobs and found a small software company that was already on AWS but the newly minted CTO wanted to actually take advantage of AWS. The MSP they had chosen before he came aboard were also a bunch of lift and shifters.

I was hired with no real AWS experience to lead the effort. After doing a lot of green field small proof of concept projects and fumbling through, I feel badly for anyone who tries to implement anything on AWS with just the certifications, without the industry background,
and not working for a company with a business support agreement plan with AWS.

The situation outlined in the article isn't the "live and let live" kind. Where you do something for yourself or for someone else and don't expect anything further (donate to your cause). It's the kind where you wish your preferences be imposed on everyone else for your benefit (force everybody to donate to your cause). It's hard to decide what "harmful" is as far as superstitions go, everybody will see it differently.

And human nature makes it so most people only push things they don't see as a direct or major inconvenience and ignore the rest. I don't like to see sex on the internet? Nobody should see it.

How many people claiming they do something to uphold some values actually uphold more than the values they find easy or effortless? Superstitions or people's interpretation of religion are the same. It's always "don't walk through the black door", never "when you see a broken door fix it for free". It's "homosexuality is a sin", never "lying is a sin". Everything is ok as long as it falls perfectly within the framework you operate under, the values you consider worthy of appreciation.
Yes. It can be pretty common. It’s been a while since I was in the oil business but there were plenty of people who had trouble getting a few sentences out without a fuck or a shit.

I do know a few tech people who cuss quite a bit but it’s certainly not super-common abd, increasingly, there’s also a greater sensitivity to language etc. that someone will take offense to even if in your mind it’s perfectly ok.
Are you willing to hire non-US citizens? Reverse engineering is fun and I might be a fit (e.g. having played around with IDA Pro to reverse binaries and Spectre and Meltdown, among other things).
Looks phishy. Too much information, some of those really should be irrelevant, and others at least have a reason given why they need them. (I.e. there's cases where I could see why they want a proof of citizenship early, but they'd need to say that then. I guess many CVs have phone number and address normally, but those also can be queried once needed. etc.).

> There's less to learn to get going

There are thousands of pre-existing web developers for whom this is not true because they've already put the effort in to learn the web platform. For these people, PWAs represent significant new functionality which they can now use without having to learn a whole new toolkit.

You may be dramatically underestimating just how many web developers there are.

> I also think it's a lot harder to reason about security with a web app.

I'm not sure that's true, because the web runtime itself tends to provide quite good security (partly because it doesn't allow access to a lot of device APIs in the first place). Native apps are often granted quite wide permissions, and auto-update by default too.
This wouldn't apply at all, because the majority needs to be indifferent, and there should be no other minority demanding the opposite.
I'm curious why those core dumps, lasting for months at least, were not investigated
It would make a lot of sense to use Node.JS as a backend service for your web app, instead of a Java app. It's much easier for a web developer to use JavaScript then to learn Java, or Objective C. The API would be implemented with Node.JS modules.
I don't know why this is downvoted. Seems legitimate to me.

Well noticed. SJWs and the communist movement as a whole operate in this way. They infiltrate every institution they can touch and infect it with their hysteria giving the impression that the whole population thinks in the way they do. It's the same as in a loony in a family. The whole family of sane people is around and pending of his/her lunacy, hence controlled by it. Well this is the same but at international scale.
Right. Which was one of the reasons we used YARA on all the data we pulled from Google and other caches so we could extract the leaked data and categorize it. Then we called all the affected customers (I did a lot of those calls personally) and offered to give them the leaked information so they could look for exploitation. The idea being that if they had seen some anamoly with something that we knew was in Google's cache then it would be evidence of exploitation that way.
