Sure, I get that, but saying its benefit is the ecosystem and then in the next paragraph saying its ~9x smaller than what its being compared to (hence where its benefits should shine...)

Kube links services together via DNS. I'm not sure what part of it is tightly coupled really. Additionally, I make really great use of consul-k8s _and_ Vault. Not sure what they have to do with Nomad v K8s is all.
I know that defeats the whole point, but big publishers can’t just make a leap blindly.
I can see why most people would think working for the "fucked by the cloud" companies[1] would be a terrible idea.
But as others have said, those companies are huge, and they have pretty cutting edge R&D groups. Some of the business units still put out products with very nice growth and profit margins.

Sales, marketing, support, compliance (relevant for literally any large company), etc. You can safely assume this is the answer in most cases.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in the meeting where they decided whether the feature should be standard equipment or an option.
I think this also reflects that Boeing has moved from being a honorable company where good engineering was the first priority, to a company driven by greedy MBAs and PowerPoint charlatans. Those crazy ways to bypass regulations indicate they were totally pushed by a business plan that did not mind cutting lots of security corners.

It's sad, but I think many corporations, and in general most human organizations, go through this lifecycle.

Obviously, none of this discharges FAA from all the very likely negligences they committed when reviewing the new MAX certification you have explained so well.

I went through the recruitment process for a cloud role in their Bristol, UK office. It was bizarre. I was video interviewed by 3 of their people around Europe, but none seemed to have an idea of what they were trying to do or crucially what they wanted me to do.

The people I spoke to were technically proficient, but not driven in the same way you'd imagine a FAANG employee to be. I eventually gave up after the process dragged out too far. You can imagine Amazon / AWS being able to get away with this, but Oracle?
I recently interviewed somebody who's been working at Yahoo since the dawn of time. Some people just value stability.
StorageTek?
"You can't fire me, I quit!"
There are so many initiatives out there supporting poor people. True, this one does not. But it seems a bit far-fetched to conclude from this one example that the poor are not supported at all.
This whole discussion is missing the forest through the trees.

People are fighting over the scraps being dolled out by some out of touch billionaire, who ultimately wants to increase her network and drive up her labor supply to increase her profits.

This program will effect 40 people (who cares about their gender) out of many 100s of millions of Americans. 40 people who are in a socioeconomic class to know about this program and to have had the education to articulate themselves well enough to be admitted.

If this woman actually wanted to help women she’d be striving and advocating for public policy that actually looks to provide universal programs across socioeconomic backgrounds (which would include white men and women and also poor black people).

But she’s not, she believes she should have unilateral control over who gets to be successful through access to programming training, because she’s fundamentally anti democratic.
I talked to an apple store employee yesterday about this:

He said one of the reasons for USB C in the Pro is that the tablet draws too much power to charge and operate at the same time over lightning. Also, for 'pro-level' jobs like editing 4K, USB C has much, much faster transfer speeds.
Heroku is great, but that's 5x the cost of Linode/Digital Ocean + Dokku.
“Vindictive” means an strong or unreasonable desire for revenge. I didn’t imply that I want that.

You’re creating a false dichotomy between not enforcing laws on one hand, and being vindictive on the other. If those are the only alternatives you can see, that’s on you.
For $300/yr you could get multiple Squarespace websites, and they abstract even more.
Oh, SmartOS containers run Linux seamlessly too. I guess I take that knowledge for granted now. But many many of the popular cloud tools (hashicorp consul and vault, redis, couchdb, arangodb, postgres) run natively on SmartOS and have better resource and user management from the underlying system.

I haven't used Digital Ocean's kube offering. Otherwise it's much like Linode or other services from that era -- install your own distro and binaries, which needs some kind of orchestration automation to scale.

"Mad rush" - heh. I'd hate to see how long something rolled out at a leisurely pace would take!
Rarely are people deliberately discriminating. Instead they have erected systems that, for one reason or another, lead to biases. You cannot stop discriminating while continuing to use these systems.
It's weird that you bring this up in a comment thread about someone literally advocating for lying about their gender for the sake of some perceived competitive advantage.

Do you believe this to be ethical? Because to me I find it rather offensive considering it harms actual transgender candidates.
Really? Oregon vs. Oracle doesn't inspire much trust.

Many studies have found significant bias in favor of women" which studies?

I think you are basing your opinion solely on anecdotes from your company/bubble.

Women are underrepresented in tech - just go any tech conference and see for yourself.

Are women not as smart as men when it comes to tech? Or are there barriers to entry for women?

You need an early flight and a late flight. Bob needs flights in the middle of the day. Jane prefers mid afternoon. Any given individual only needs one flight at one time, but passengers as a whole want options.
Okay, I'm curious; does anyone have any idea why? Is there a way I'm not seeing, that it can fail to be profitable to keep this game running? Or a reason I'm not seeing, why a corporation – in the second Gilded Age, when money is supposed to be the measure of all things – is throwing away profit?
I noticed that if you just right click on the google image search result and select "view image" you'll get the img src right away, in Firefox at least.
I was thinking of something similar, but in reverse -- turn this into part tarpit, part honeypot.

I was thinking I could take the IP address of anyone who hangs out in the tarpit for longer than a minute or so and automatically add it to my firewall's blacklist.
But not everybody is a self starter. We also have a ton of people who were nudged in this direction and men get those nudges far more often. I certainly didn't learn software totally independent of other structures. Both my parents were software engineers. I had toys (marketed at boys) that encouraged creativity with computers. I had teachers who encouraged me to work in software. Etc etc.
What about Europe, especially Western and Northern - plenty of disposable income to go round there?

Hi everyone - this is my first b2b app targeting companies/agencies that are changing office locations.

Why: During the site selection process, one of the pieces of the pie that companies consider, in addition to lease conditions/costs, is the impact of the move on their employee's commute.

My app provides quick and accurate comparison of the properties using their employee locations.
I did that the last time I was in the Netherlands. I spent little time in Amsterdam and a lot of time in the other parts of the country. I had a great time and most of the other people I encountered were locals .

My strategy was to figure out what Dutch people visited in their own country and mimic that. That went quite well.
Thanks! Maybe it would be worth replacing my 100 line nodejs script that does the same thing with this in the future :)

(not sarcasm, if this works the same and adds more value I'd use it)
If you're comparing to Kubernetees, "everything".

But I'm using ECS and Fargate right now (orchestrated with Terraform). https://rivethealth.com

Probably the biggest thing I would like is native secrets management. "Security groups" are limited as it depends on having an AWS interface per container.

ANd I don't know how much longer our time on Fargate will last. It's expensive, but more significantly there are limitations in not having access to the host. Having to install an SSH server in every docker container to be able to debug (simple things, like top) is annoying.
It's also only anecdotically, but I think your art history example doesn't fly: https://art.stanford.edu/people/faculty
Is the work enjoyable? I would assume you have to use only Oracle branded solutions/tools which I am not sure is for everyone.
That's not equivalent. All 737 MAXs have the failed design.

Instead it's like all cars like yours have their stock automated emergency braking system malfunction, didn't illuminate the "check engine" light (that's was the extra 100 bucks), and preventing the brakes from working at all despite you slamming furiously on the pedal. My guess is you'd be a lot angrier about that if you lived.
Your comment reminds me of something else you touched on, make everyone around you look good to great all the time. Never call anyone out and give tactical advice to all levels. If someone is really into Redis, tell them about some new cool extension module. If someone likes Kafka, show them some new commit that does a cool thing. Go out and seek these things in technologies the customer uses. They think ur on the ball, and they are given something that they can pass on and look even better.

What are you, 15 year old, in some imagined turf war?

If, Yogthos, or anybody else, posts about clojure, that doesn't make them a "shill" (sic).

Shill of what? In your world, somebody pays them to promote Clojure? You think Clojure has a "shill" budget?

How about, they are someone who works with and likes the language, and posts whatever they consider an interesting article about it?

Not to mention, where the fuck did you get with this whole reasoning? I've checked Yogthos profile, and he has posted like 3 submissions in the last 2 days, 1 20 days ago, 10-12 more 4-5 months ago, and then no post since 2017 or so. That's "too much" for you? To the point that you have a whole BS theory about it?

Oh, and if you don't like someone's posts, that doesn't make them a "shitposter" (sic).

In HN, what someone posts is irrelevant. Posts are voted to get to the front page. If you see this post here, it's because many people on HN like it.
You send your backups to another AWS account, that has distinct access credentials another responsible party holds (separation of duties), and policies that inhibit the backup source account from deleting or modifying the backups in the target account.

You should practice restores. You should be able to stand your infra back up from anywhere with an Internet connection.
An old macbook air screen died, so to upgrade to a new macbook air I needed a bunch of dongles and cables (expensive). (I believe usb-c to tb2 dongle + tb2 cable)

Upgrading an older machine required multiple nested dongles to get to firewire.
I wasn't comparing Solarized's blue text to the color of television, I was comparing its gray background to television. In my experience, static is white and black (mostly white), not gray, which is why I thought of a blank television screen rather than static.
Some problems might be overstated. But I recently had to explain to my cousin the Macbook lineup and how she connects her devices, so it's not just made up. I agree, they should make more distinct models. The current line up is still cleaner than probably any phone/laptop vendor's but also the worst I've seen from Apple and I don't think the reason is that they offer more products than ever.
I've clicked on Google results several times, but every time it asks me to sign up or login before I've seen much of anything - eh... no.
Well in my company we are using those policies. And besides just because it's happening to women in other industries does not make it any less immoral.
Thanks for your insight.

That makes no sense. Seat width is fuselage width divided by number of seats, minus room for the aisle(s). Wider seats means fewer seats. The airlines make that trade off based on what they think people will tolerate.
Facebook Stored Hundreds of Millions of Passwords in Plaintext for 7 Years
Haven't looked into helm-charts deeply, but the ones that I found often needed a considerable amount of time to configure for production. For example, the Logstash chart uses a YAML config whereas we use Logstash's standard config format with many filters and options. Porting these features over to YAML is not a lot of fun. And in the end we would also have to maintain these configs and keep them in sync with upstream changes.

Speaking of documentation, I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of literature on Kubernetes these days. Many articles are quite outdated already and new ones get written every day. It's hard to know what the best practices are - and the ecosystem is still rapidly evolving.

So I don't think I was skimming over these parts, I just think that inertia can also become a disadvantage.
Heh, I like Paris in November/December. No tourists. Their poor approach to HVAC is a non-issue. And I can deal with the week of overcast because I have clear skies before I leave and after I return to N. America.
>Because I'm the government, and I can print money to repay any debt, these bonds are considered very low risk - sometimes they're even called risk free.

This is absolutely not the reason they're considered low risk. If the USG tried to repay its debts by printing money, debtholders uninsured against inflation would lose tons of money. The expectation that they're _not_ going to print money to repay debt is part of why it's so safe.
I like thumb to unlock myself. Main reason I'm on iphone 8 for ... forever probably.
The NTSB does and has done a fantastic job keeping flight safe, they are the sorts of people we should be looking to for what went wrong and how to fix it. Not politicians, Ralph Nader, or armchair engineers on forums.

Flying is complex and exposing the correct instrumentation, controls, and training to pilots is a hard problem. There will be mistakes and the important thing is to learn from them. The industry and regulators are very good at this.
About Neoliberalism
No, just Sun, briefly, but I worked with a lot of StorageTek people.
The gender equality paradox is like a religion to you people. It's being vastly misapplied here, and the authors of that study (it was one study) would be horrified to see this rhetoric.

Go back and look at the scatter plot. It's a weak, but real correlation. The random deltas between nations are well above the significance of the gender signal. There's good science to be argued about there.

But it's being used here to justify an outrageous outlier. Women aren't just "less interested" in sofware at the scale we see in that study, they're outnumbered by literally a whole order of magnitude. Nothing from that study argues for this kind of effect, nothing at all.
Squarespace is great for solving lots of problems and if it solves your problem you should definitely use it before heroku. But as devs we're usually brought in after someone has figured out their problem can't be solved with Squarespace.
> even more spaghetti code than you'd find in Ruby, Python, Java, etc.

From working on numerous large Java projects, I can say with real-world experience that the logical equivalent to spaghetti code is very common with Java. The difference is where the spaghetti is -- in Java, it tends to be spaghetti inheritance and encapsulation.
Streams are great! I've written a small library for Node which attempts to wrap some of the complexity (particularly for handling multiple connections for UNBLOCK calls, etc).

So far I haven't used it outside of hobby projects for webGL games and such, but it's worked brilliantly, and no Kafka required for hobby async-streaming infrastructure!

Hopefully it's useful to someone out there! https://github.com/erulabs/redis-streams-aggregator
There's distributed and there's distributed. Blockchain might be overkill, but it solves the "JPM's transactional database of financial transactions is down" problem.
Is lobbying the latest euphemism for bribing?
He found no evidence contradicting the story, but none supporting it, either. There's a big risk in equating the effort expended with the quality of the final product, a lesson that applies as much in software as in journalism.

I'm very frustrated with the author for not crediting the New York Times. I don't think it's a coincidence that the story fell apart when he was commissioned to do a piece for an outfit with journalistic standards. It's possible the NYT's name opened some doors for him, too, but he doesn't describe experiencing any frustration or serious misgivings in his original investigation. He just says "in hindsight" and "I suppose a part of me always worried" but that's fifteen years too late. Clearly he approached it more critically this time, but he leaves the reason for that completely unexamined.

EDIT: Also, "He was just a quiet man who had tried to do the right thing in the face of an inferno. And maybe that is enough," clearly thinking about himself, clearly not taking responsibility.
...but then the television would be turned to an actual channel, not to a dead one...?
Yes, it's widely known exchanges wash trade. This does not mean that all their volume is fake. And it's true mex only trades contracts, but I'd note they're traded only with BTC collateral so bitcoin is still exchanged.

For the most part, this report basically ignores Asian exchange volume.
Why don't more people just use the native machine imaging built into cloud providers? (I would actually like to know this)

Building an AMI on Amazon is not difficult and if you use it you don't have to reinvent so much architecture on top of AWS (or cloud provider of your choice)
So, what are his qualifications? He's a political science and greek history/culture major, but somehow went to work at Barclays, as a principle at Thiel capital, and later CFO at Clarium. He doesn't have an MBA, nor financial or CPA experience, and doesn't have any tech experience.

This seems like a classic old boys network in action. Rich guy gets his son into Princeton by the backdoor, and then uses his connections to get him into Barclays, and later he meets Thiel, and Thiel at some point decides to use him to put an agent into the Whitehouse.

Former CTO, Megan Smith, at least had industry tech experience and a masters degree from MIT.
Wow, I would love to know how they can make so much revenue and make a loss.

I only know Pinterest from annoying search results where it immediately asks you to sign up for an account, and I immediately leave - does anyone have any insights into how on earth they are spending almost a billion dollars in a year?
Try caprover.com, minimalistic orchestration similar to Heroku or Dokku (but with a GUI). Can scale too with Docker Swarm. I'm using it and it's a breeze, really happy with it. Previously I was using Rancher, but didn't like the switch from Cattle to Kubernetes.
I second this recommendation for anyone looking for a (non-Apple) tablet these days. The Surface Go is a good tablet and its built-in stand works really well. It's a "real computer" too, with a surprisingly usable snap-on keyboard cover, and can power my 3840x1600 ultrawide + all peripherals through a single USB C cable.
> Surely the reason is obvious

Most human behavior is not obvious on close inspection. And when what seems "obvious" happens to align with traditional expectations of historically oppressed groups we should be very very skeptical of our personal gut feelings.
Nader may be right about some of this, but just claiming that evil "reckless" Boeing executives caused this is pretty silly. Boeing execs are probably the least reckless execs in any field, because even tiny failure rates can have massive consequences.

What's scariest about this is that it highlights the fact that many pilots are just regular schmoes. Average intelligence, adequate training. That's fine 99.9% of the time, when equipment failure isn't catastrophic. But it's crazy how many, when they're actually faced with catastrophic failure, forget how to fly the damn plane.

The runaway trim problem has been happening for 50 years. This isn't new, or unique to the MAX (same thing can happen on the small jets I fly). Anytime something like this (or any other autopilot failure) happens, every pilot is trained to disengage the system and fly the goddamn plane. Apparently the pilots on these flights didn't know how to do that. It's tragic.

For some more reading on the other end of the spectrum, see: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2019/march/20/c... (this is probably equally as bombastic as Nader's article, but offers some good perspective from that side)

edit: Apparently Nader's niece died in one the crashes, which would certainly explain his outrage: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/03/22/ralph-naders-niece-die...
I have a couple questions!

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears 9 of the largest exchanges are regulated under New York laws.

1. Is there a scenario where to US could now immediately stop almost the entire bitcoin exchange process?

2. If that’s the case, isn’t that entirely against the point of a “decentralized” currency - in that it’s not worth much if you can’t effectively trade it.

3. If 95% of volume is being faked, which according to the histograms is likely, what other discoveries about Bitcoin could be waiting to be revealed?
I recently benchmarked Swoole. It's insanely fast compared to regular PHP.

It's currently taking #4 place in the famous framework benchmark:

> This basically is exactly the strategy of China, at least with respect to international trade, and it's working absolutely wonderfully for them.

if that is the case, then the US has no grounds on requesting the Chinese to open their markets for US firms! If the US is itself committed to empower their oligarchic companies, we should not be surprised if the Chinese create their own mega companies and close their market to the American ones.

Essentially what I'm trying to say is that if we go the path of supporting mega companies, then we should just throw away the illusion of free market and understand that other countries will do the same, because they're not stupid.
But it’s not only that Lightning does just fine technically (even though that’s true), it’s that Lightning gives Apple more control over the whole product ecosystem and therefore the experience of using the product.
It would be nice to be able to expect better from Oracle, but I don't.
Some of the shady bitcoin exchanges and Bitcoin derivatives product offerings really do remind me of bucket shops that were popular in the early 20th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_shop_(stock_market))

One difference is that the obvious remedy that was applied to bucket shops at the time (regulation) doesn't seem to be as effective this time around due to the international nature of Bitcoin markets.
