I went to school in the north bay area, slightly rural. PE taught all of those things, the teachers were great at teaching proper form in weightlifting, the mile "times" required were easy for anyone who didn't walk. I really am not understanding why every comment but yours seems to think PE is possibly the worst experience of their entire education.
I’ve worked in that country multiple times. It has no comparison to the US. Women have equal rights in the US for a start. It is also not commonplace in the US for men to beat their wives and daughters for not concealing themselves behind traditional garb. I have met young women over there who have told me first-hand how they’ve suffered.

From other comments you’ve made, it appears you live in Turkey. I don’t think your experience applies, given Turkey’s recent political dispute with the Saudis over the Khashoggi murder.

Notably, Turkey is also not a member of the Arab League.
I'd include the triggers as part of that analysis, like being able to invoke a function every time something is pushed to an S3 bucket for example. Just being able to run arbitrary functions without caring about the OS is the core product, but the true value is that you can tie that into innumerable other services that are so helpfully provided.

Basically, AWS has so much damn stuff under their belt now, and it all integrates so nicely, every time they add a new feature it lifts up all the other features as a matter of course.
Ask HN: Are sites like Elance and Upwork worthwhile?
It's been quite a while since I first checked them out, and the last I knew it seemed like a bit of a race to the bottom. People competing for $2/hour made it seem like a waste of time.

Is there actually a market for highly skilled developers earning decent wages now, or is it still the same?

Regenerative breaking does activate your brake lights though, at least in the Tesla. I would assume it is the same in all EVs, as it would be a massive safety issue and asking for rear-end collisions otherwise.
From this data point, it appears that it may work.
You typically don't get full marks in calculus for a correct answer with no working shown, and an incorrect answer due to a minor mistake where the working/method is correct generally gets a substantial portion of the marks.

The equivalent would be grading the running technique, pacing etc.
In gym class, I learned how to show up, have a locker in a locker room, register a combination lock, change into a different set of clothes for some reason, sit on benches, amble aimlessly around a basketball court, meander listlessly across a soccer field, get yelled at for anything baseball, and run in circles if we were supposed to be playing two-hand-touch football, trying not to get tackled by the kids with a size advantage who wanted to beat the fuck out of everyone else.

The coaches basically did not give a fuck about gym as a class, and only used it as additional opportunities to fraternize with the picks for the sports teams, if present.

Gym was a study hall, where you got a B if you changed into your gym outfit, and an A if you were on a sports team. Inevitably, the slow kids and the combative kids filled out the rest of the curve, with the kids who cut class supplying the average number of D and F grades.

There were also the large varsity senior predation upon wimpy, nerdy freshman hazing incidents, but by the end of the 1990's it was less common. Wives tales from the 70's and 80's with direct witnesses and evidence, but still, a thing of the past. Kids cared more about getting laid, and going out to lunch in status symbol cars, than making other people miserable.
The comments here are really confusing me. I went to a New England public school. Gym was mostly a fun team sport game that rotated every month or so. I was very athletic. Most of my friends were the opposite. I believe we all had a good time regardless.
Modern P.E. (and many sports) goes back to at least antiquity where the need for militarization in society was greater. Military training has set the standard for exercise and sports because it provided an established system of collective activities and clear outcomes to promote strength, discipline and collaboration. Qualities that any military force needs.
My main problem in getting away from Google is: who will protect my email/phone accounts as well as Google does with GMail and Google Voice? Sadly, those are the main means of authentication for my multiple financial accounts (for most banks phone and emails are the only 2FA methods available).

I am not worried about the privacy issues, I'm mostly worried about Google deciding to terminate my account for some reason. I'm also not worried about getting locked out due to losing my 2FA secrets, since I backup them in multiple places.

The obvious solution would be: buy my own domain and then connect it to another email provider or G Suite, right?

However, now I have a point of failure that is my domain registrar and my DNS provider, and I'm sure that even the ones that offer strong security (e.g. Gandi with U2F) are more prone to getting successfully hacked than @gmail.com, from both a technical point of view (e.g. attackers violating their systems and change the DNS records for my domain) and social engineering point of view (e.g. crafted support requests pretending to be me and begging to reset my 2FA).
In lieu of gym class, my school required us to participate in a club sport or school team every season. We actually got much more exercise having gym every few days, and the fact that we got to choose what sport to play made it something we could get personally invested in, even people who were not naturally athletic.

The interview makes it pretty clear that it isn't being published against his wishes. He wanted it out there, just not while he was alive.

Now perhaps Salinger's son (and his widow) could be lying in the hope of profiting off his work, but if so he's chosen a strange way to go about it, blocking publication of his juvenilia and neglecting his own acting and producing career to spend what will apparently be the best part of twenty years collecting and editing it all.

Personally though, I think Matt Salinger's genuine. In fact, he comes across as extraordinarily respectful of his father's legacy. Would that we all had people willing to expend so much effort and care to honour us after we have passed.
I've had a very similar idea to this as well.

It all stemmed from one particular interview I had years ago. The interviewer presented me with a very simple problem, I solved it. He then stepped up the difficulty a bit. This kept happening and as it got harder he started acting more like a co-worker where we bounced ideas off of each other.

Granted he knew the solution, but the mere fact that he presented himself not as an interviewer judging my performance but as a co-worker helping to solve a shared problem made that one of my favorite interviews.

This example highlights the whole problem with the line of thinking in this article. Absolutely nobody thinks Craigslist needs to be broken up through anti-trust regulation. But several capable startups have failed to adaquately challenge Craigslist. Where do you draw the line between hampering competition and just meeting the consumer needs better than anyone else? The primary arguments against the tech giants hampering competition are literally speculation (with the possible exception of Amazon). You could have made the same arguments against Yahoo’s dominance in their heyday. When the paradigm of advertising supported services changes, Google and Facebook will become immediately vulnerable.
It’s a global market, to some degree.

I say to some degree because many buyers from wealthier markets are shying away from hiring in certain developing markets.

If you consider yourself highly skilled and you live in a relatively developed country, then no, it probably isn’t worth your time trying to compete.

Furthermore, it’s a seller’s market so if you genuinely are highly skilled, you shouldn’t be short of work.
The API I just deployed using this connects to a regular old Aurora MySQL instance using the standard MySQL driver.

It’s a standard CRUD REST API used by our website.

The only thing slow is infamous cold start time when running within a VPC because it has to create an ENI.

It’s hard to imagine something easier and more reproducible for developers than connecting to localhost and having your request routed to the correct endpoint automatically, whether you’re on a disconnected laptop or in production. That’s the power of the ambassador pattern, which Envoy enables.
I liked gym when it was an every day sort of thing, and we only did the mile run once a week (though you were docked points if you walked and didn't sprint for the final section). Then came 9th grade at a different school that was already doing A/B days (to match high school -- for me 7-9 was Jr High) and we did a mile run every class -- except unlike my 7th/8th grade counterparts the coach didn't care if you walked most of it. It was also funny that at this school no one wanted to shower after, I wondered if that's because they weren't basically forced to in 7th/8th grade like I was at the other school and so never learned to get over any embarrassment.

Anyway I rather liked gym class before 9th grade, mindless as it was, after that I took one of your hybrid health education + mild exercise courses (mile run every month? could walk the whole thing if you wanted) in 10th grade that did nothing for either (lol food pyramid -- a subject also repeated during a cooking class and a general health sciences class) and fulfilled my final PE requirement with an online bowling class during my final term that required (with no verification) about 10 games and scores to be submitted with the testing which I did in one or two sessions.
Another reason to rotate questions more frequently and maybe a reason interviewers raise their standards over time is because there are large forums out there dedicated to cheating and sharing solutions for any notable tech company. As more and more questions are shared more and more cheaters will perform optimally, raising the average performance for that question.

I could tell you which questions were asked at MTV this past week and by looking at the last month of these posts for a specific office it's incredibly easy to come up with the most frequently asked questions and memorize their optimal solutions. This means that if you're someone who doesn't partake in these communities that you'll enter these interviews at a significant disadvantage because your performance on that problem will be compared to everyone who was able to (legitimately or illegitimately) arrive at the optimal solution in 45 minutes.
Forget university, most of these this should be the content of K-12 computing/programming classes. It's simpler and has much more real world value than a lot of the crap the tech, like graphical iPad programming or how to use a specific version of word.

Squash or not depends on the nature of the change. Sometimes it can be a feature branch with enough work in it that rolling it all up into a single large commit is doing a disservice to somebody who's going to be doing code archaeology later while debugging.

I would argue that small to medium web services don’t need Kubernetes nor serverless. It doesn’t even need to be split into services. Build a tidy monolith and see how far that takes you first. Have less moving parts.

Yes, serveless ties you in to platform specifics but in their nature the functions you create should be small and easy to reimplement elsewhere.

Kubernetes on the other hand is arguably also a certain lock-in, by virtue of being complicated. No wonder vendors love it, it’s an offering that is hard to do right in-house. And when Kubernetes releases updates only the most seasoned in-house teams will be able to keep up. It creates job security by being a lot to learn and manage. Yes there are good abstractions but when something breaks you’ll need to delve into that complexity below. (Makes me think of ORM abstractions vs SQL.)

Yes, Kubernetes is an awesome vehicle for orchestrating a swarm of containerized services. But when you’re not Netflix or Twitter scale it’s ridiculous to worship this complexity.

Frankly I keep coming back to appreciate Heroku's abstractions and its twelve factor app philosophy https://12factor.net/. Heroku runs on AWS but feels like a different world than AWS to develop on. I can actually get projects flying with a 2-3 person team me included.

Yes, you do. Let me just say the word "Color". Well, except it's not effort, it's connections.
It does not currently (only linux and macOS), but porting it over should be really easy!

The cross platform story for rust isn't as seamless as an interpreted language like lua, but it's still good enough that it's not a huge effort to support another platform or shell.

Shell support should be fairly similarly easy or hard between most autojump implementations.
I don't understand all of these complaints. Is the solution to difficult coursework to do away with lessons? Why are physical challenges treated so differently from mental difficulties? Sure, not everyone is athletic, but the fact that not everyone is studious and intelligent is not a reason to avoid encouraging people to be so by sending them to school.

I think what we really need is a serious, rigid, disciplined curriculum in PE. That probably doesn't involve team sports so much as learning to exercise for fitness and self improvement, totally different from the half-assed gym classes that we have in the US now.

Bullying is a symptom of other problems and is not an argument against good physical education. Perhaps if ours hadn't turned into such a sensitive, coddling culture, we wouldn't have a 40% obesity rate[1].

Doesn't sound like the world's best idea, but I guess it could potentially work on things like ETL or maintenance tasks - not so much for quicker, end user operations at scale.
During gym we did running, sit-ups, volleyball and kickball. Wish we done weights instead. no one on YouTube is making money with jogging and sit-up videos. it's all weight lifting.
If a website makes heavy use of a JS framework like Vue/React/Angular and does client-side rendering as opposed to server-side rendering, as an increasing number of sites do, then you run into issues. This isn't all that uncommon when checking out websites here on HN, both as submissions and within comments. I don't keep a running list of sites I'm not able to visit as that's a rather pointless list to maintain. I do encounter them frequently while browsing HN. So I did a search on HN for "blank when javascript is disabled" and you'll get a number of results. Here's the first few I came across:

- http://isfiberreadyyet.com/ - From: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14145881

You also can't sign into a Google account anymore [0]. Though to be fair if you're someone browsing with Javascript disabled you're probably not using Google and don't have a Google account to sign into.

I frequently browse only four websites. Three if you don't want to count my own. It's the sites I discover/find from these three websites where I encounter issues. HN is a frequent source of "this site has no content when JS disabled" and it's becoming increasingly more common since 2012-2013. Given how few people browse with Javascript disabled, many of these sites (rightfully IMO, even if annoyingly) file it into the "such a small amount of users it doesn't matter" cabinet.

I'd suggest incorporating if you are serious and it's easy to do in your jurisdiction. I haven't used it, but Stripe Atlas is an option that is meant to make this easy.

Another option is to draw up some kind of contract with a price and payment terms (i.e. 30 days after you invoice).

Now, if you can get them to agree to this, you have at least a month, potentially two, before they even try to pay you. Long enough to decide if it is worth your time working out how to collect the payment.

Running the payment via another LLC is probably going to be awkward for them tax wise. Most jurisdictions allow for sole traders and you can probably use your personal account for now if that seems easier.

All of our internal webapps use some sort of logo on their readme.md, generated from sites like these

None of our internal webapps produce revenue or are customer facing, but developers like some kind of identity for their pet projects. These sites are perfect for this sort of thing.
FWIW insurgent asymmetric warfare was how the US primarily fought its own revolution (there were a few set piece battles as well, e.g. Yorktown, hardly insignificant).

In the end I believe quite a bit of cash spread around Whitehall is what made the difference, though not everyone will agree.

In the US civil war there was much less of this for reasons unclear to me.
when you apply to graduate school they don't ask you to solve calculus problems on a whiteboard to get the 'signal', the signal comes from 1) standardized tests 2) prior work 3) recommendations 4) behavioral interviews
You make good points about the drag coefficients, but I don't know if they're comparable in terms of handles — just because they have similar overall coefficients doesn't mean the handles don't affect drag. It may be the case that the Prius body is slightly more efficient, but the handles bring it back down.

Re: range vs MPG — range anxiety isn't an issue for hybrids, because filling up at a gas station is extremely fast. So having better MPG — which is more a cost metric (and to some extent a badge of feeling good about being eco-friendly) — is less important than having longer range on an EV, because when you exceed an EV's range it's quite a bit more painful than when you exceed a hybrid's range. Technically better MPG means better range assuming tank size is equivalent, but range isn't a number many people care about for hybrids; it usually doesn't appear in marketing, whereas MPG does (and typically without tank size, so range isn't even deducible). For EVs range is one of the headline numbers, whereas MPGe typically doesn't appear in marketing.
I really don't think this would be verify difficult to do really. Instead of a tiny machine gun think of a small air gun.
There's the slight difference that calculus does not depend on your current hormonal situation, while sports does.

Growth spurts wreak havoc on coordination ability, and it's entirely beyond the person's control.

(We're not even talking about the fact that you don't get a grade based on how well you answer the question in calculus, either. You get graded on understanding, and steps involved, even if you get the wrong answer. Or at least you get graded that way in sane school systems)
> Congestion pricing works in the same way that hiring someone to throw bricks off

That is a horrible comparison. Horrible in two different ways.

> The first is that it can only really improve one thing -- traffic during peak
> times -- which only really matters to the people who are still driving at those
> times, who then have the benefit offset by the cost of the congestion charge.

It improves general mobility. Less traffic jams, and money to invest in alternatives. People can still drive during peak times but reduce the cost and congestion by carpooling. People can take other forms of transport, and people can drive at a different time. The end result is that everybody still gets to where they need to be, but without getting stuck in traffic for an hour.

I don't disagree with your alternatives, but they have already been tried and haven't solved the problem. Maybe more money is needed to do it better? Congestion pricing can provide that. But it also helps to encourage people a bit more. A lot of people take the car because it's what they're used to, and they simply hope traffic won't be too bad. But with a little push, they'll be a bit more likely to try public transport. And with more people using it, there will also be more demand to improve it.

Living closer to work/working closer to home would of course be best, but again, it's not something that has worked so far. Some people don't have that luxury, and some people simply don't want to for other reasons.
things i remember from gym class in middle school/high school:

* gym class was every single day, 5th grade until 12th grade.

* mile run every Friday (I hated it, but it did help me get to sub-7 mins by high school, for someone who was never athletic)

* heart-rate monitors we wore that strapped across our chests. every day we had to get our monitor and apply this gross conductive gel to the device and strap it around our bare skin at chest level. you got credit for the gym period if you got >15mins of HR above 120.

* Badminton!

* Those scooters with wheels on them.

* Step-aerobics. Holy cow. Exercising with plastic stools.

* A locker room with showers, which showers I have never seen anyone use once.

* line dancing for some reason?
