I've been working professionally for 5+ years, and have several more while working as student and researcher in computer science. I consider myself a Full-Stack developer with personal preferences towards backend and devops. I have tons of experience building projects from the ground-up (including team building, software architecture, and testing pipelines).

I have 1 year of corporate team-lead experience, and 2 years of leading my own software development company (which is running by itself at this point).

Looking for jobs ideally with a team-lead focus, or senior software engineering with options to move forward in team management.

By sector I mean map section - you start with one and can buy more with growth to model city annexing. They aren't small. If it is a flat area of land parcelled out for maximium footprint I think it would be for at least four or five separate emergency services buildings to cover it when fully built.

While I get that tolerances vary I think walking marathons is a bit unreasonable for a commute and should probably draw complaints and lower desirability like congestion about things being too far away.

It could be a case of differing norms admittedly. Reminds me of one complaint from an online friend in Southern California about how Civilization used an unrealistically dark color for the ocean - she was used to a lighter blue compared to the more northern ocean color chosen. Both colors are realistic but assumptions differed and varying it visually would be confusing for gameplay reasons.

Anyway I would probably set the game limit to a fraction of a typical service radius (perhaps specifically setting it based on age and health) or make it more consistent with their sidewalk preference behavior. Like say if the walking distance for children was the radius of a small elementry school but for teens it was half the radius of the high school.
That may be the public SLA for people who create an account without private contracts. Large businesses never use the standard SLA terms.
Well, you’ve certainly changed rayiner :)

That would seem like a solid reason to avoid Namecheap.

There are languages that model code like this. Using one for a while will likely teach you why. If you think "spaghetti" is an apt description for text code, wait until you see flow based code that's evolved in place for a while.
The transformation of the US for largest importer to largest exporter in only a few years is stunning.

Unfortunately, this is a geopolitical tactic to crush Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations like Iran so that it defunds terrorism. The tipping point for the US between electric cars and gas is about $6/gallon from what I've read. CA is getting close, I'm paying $4/gallon but most of that is taxes these days. We can't move forward until we get rid of $2/gallon gas throughout the country.
This doesn't surprise me at all - SLA's are widely overrated. No SLA will cover damages incurred by lost business due to an outage. What you likely want is some kind of third-party insurance for downtime caused by outages out of your control - but I'm not even sure this exists.
yes, let's blame the ubiquitous machine for millions of American & UK idiots sharing easily debunked propaganda that lead to both Brexit and The Orange One. it's so much easier to blame the big corporate overlords than have any personal responsibility.
no one forces you to sign in. no one forces you to share pics of your lunch meat. no one is stopping you from creating an alternative, i mean, aside from the fact you can't afford the servers because without ads you have no way to pay for them.

I’ve had both a Kindle and Kobo. The latter seemed like the better device because it felt less-tethered to bloatware I don't care about that the Kobo has (Pocket, gamification, etc.) and has decent GoodReads integration.

Kindle does support mobi, but you have to convert epub files (this can't be done through your Kindle email address' convert ability for some reason).

PSA: There is a disinformation campaign that pushes the narrative that renewables are big users of rare earth minerals. They are not.

The #1 uses of rare earth is chemical catalysts (used for processing fossil fuels) and pollution control (also fossil fuels)

Chemical Catalysts 55%
Metallurgy & Alloys 15%
Ceramics and Glass Making 10%
Glass Polishing 10%

Batteries, solar panels and magnets are in that 'other' category.
Indeed, but I was replying to "All languages are becoming Lisp, except for the added challenge of avoiding parentheses.".

Now if we are speaking about coroutines, there are other languages even older than Modula-2, although it was probably the most mainstream one at its peak.
For whatever reason, software engineers don't have the luxury of doing a diagnostic.

That´s not necessarily true. I´ve worked with very good, serious consultancies, and I´ve seen a quote for thousands of dollars for exploratory work to give an estimate. Of course that was for a million dollar project - smaller projects might not have this opportunity.

Other companies had some interesting approaches where they gave order-of-magnitude estimates and then refined the estimate iteratively.
HN tends to keep non-Tech dissent to a minimum, or at least, if you have a differing opinion, you are held to a higher standard to defend it. I think that is a necessity for semi-anonymous online forums in this age - if you allow throwaway comments that seem anywhere from eccentric to absurd in order to troll the base, you lose the community. (reddit, 4chan, etc.)

I like that there are some standards here.
Er, pretty much by definition, when it does a good job you wouldn't know it had been passed through calibre conversion. So how do you count up those "successes" and measure them against the "failures" to determine whether, on a probabilistic kind of basis, it does a good or bad job?
You're supposed to scrape the overflow back into the hole and tamp everything down. If you do it properly it's not as good as real asphalt but it's a hell of a lot better than gravel, or a hole.

Unfortunately where I live the workers are incredibly lazy or incredibly mismanaged. They just dump it and leave it heaping up above the road surface. That degree of shoddiness is a mark of societal dysfunction...
As the other commenters said, I think you're very wrong.

My anecdotal experience with posting a Clojure job online (especially in the Clojurians slack) has been several decent applicants applying in matter of a few days.
slightly off-topic: Nice and clean, yet detailed enough status page. I like it. :)
Had the same impression, and the website was terribly rendered on Firefox focus which is my main browser on mobile. I have a smoother UX with hn.
Whereas non-tech people would run around like headless chicken if asked to build anything. Forget discoverability.

It's not an ego issue - I doubt any tech worker is happy when dealing with non-discoverable software as a user. But connecting this experience to building your own software, and learning to design things to be discoverable by default (because in a typical job, if you don't do something right the first time, it probably won't ever be done right), is hard.
Right, for an incremental product for sure. Slack is an incremental product but now is worth billions. Point taken but Slack is not SpaceX.
That's burnout? I thought that was just work.
Ohhh, right. Thanks! I'm a vi person myself. :)
One that I find myself using probably more than I should is undo:

# undo the last commit
undo = reset --soft HEAD^
redo = reset 'HEAD@{1}'

Another is a quick update method for repos that I'm not contributing to, but might be dirty:

up = !git fetch && git rebase --autostash FETCH_HEAD

And for those times I forget those aliases I don't use as often:

# list aliases
la = "!git config -l | grep alias | cut -c 7-"
The problem is that those people who chose shiny new technology only see the benefit, while all the others in the company will rot in hell because of the stupid choice of a junior engineer (who jumped ships 3 times meanwhile). I don't see how does that benefit the company? The whole point of the article is that you should make wise technology decisions which benefits the whole organization.

Is there any indication what a 'tipping point' or irreversible positive feedback loop would look like once it had started? Would it resemble a graph such as in TFA? Or would perhaps not be an irreversible first swoop, so to speak, but instead oscillate deeper each time?

Unknowable and unlikely, perhaps, given that it's not happened before. But a part of me wonders what it looks like when we get to the point where the charts and graphs don't go back up again.
I'm genuinely curious: in the mid / long term will this lead to more affordable housing, or just more densification? If duplexes are the new norm, wouldn't standalone single-family houses just become more expensive? Are there any case studies to show how densification relates to housing prices? I've been reading that in places like Vancouver for example, factors such as speculative real-estate investment and money laundering have been found to be driving up housing prices and are having to be addressed with other specifically targeted measures that go beyond simply allowing more units to be built. If densification is one part of the solution, are there others, and what are they?
Yep, we are 100% on CF workers :)

Here is a quick image of the peak downtime on downforeveryoneorjustme.com:

“but most of that is taxes these days. ”

I just looked this up and so far I found in CA is 69 cents per gallon. Am I missing something?
As a counterpoint, I have had a developer who had wrote production ClojureScript tell me it was the worst of all worlds - it doesn't abstract away issues of the DOM and yet you still have to debug what was happening in JS and translate it over to Clojure.

Another thing I noticed is that most developers who had to touch Clojure in my org all pretty much didn't like it at all.
3 in this case ... registry, registry backup and system restore points.

Makes sense to get rid of one of those, especially as restoring a registry backup can lead to unintended issues if you've installed something since, whereas a system restore point takes care of all of that for you.
Fixed, thanks. Like I said about the coffee. :)
This doesn't work anymore.

Hi, I graduated from UC Berkeley in the Dec. and just finished studying ML with Google engineers. Looking for full time work in data science or data engineering, preferably in finance or real estate focused markets, but happy to help solve difficult problems in all industries. Let's talk about how I can help.
I agree on principle, but as an end user, I must selfishly disagree. I find life after Cloudflare to be better than before it.

There's a Cloudflare location right next to me, and that improves latency across many of the websites I use, and makes their public DNS service the fastest.

I just wish they had active competition in the same space. CDNs have network locations nearby but they don't offer an easy UX for relatively unexperienced website owners, and DDoS protection services usually have less network locations than content CDNs.

Living in a big city, its funny/sad how big an impact the weirdos have on my opinion of the city.
Update - Cloudflare has implemented a fix for this issue and is currently monitoring the results.

Description:
Major outage impacted all Cloudflare services globally. We saw a massive spike in CPU that caused primary and secondary systems to fall over. We shut down the process that was causing the CPU spike. Service restored to normal within ~30 minutes. We’re now investigating the root cause of what happened.

It's not so much a tactic as a technologically-enabled event. The US is not about to "crush" Saudi Arabia, it's actively fighting along side them in Yemen.

UK petrol prices have been close to equivalent of $6/USgal for a while - currently about £1.20 per liter, £4.50/USgal = $5.67, and electric cars are still pretty scarce. Hybrid taxis have been popular for a while though.
Oil is such a great industry.

Most of the oil production increase in the last years in the US is due to fracking; such an amazing technology where a bunch of chemicals are injected directly into the ground. Ted-ed has a good video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tudal_4x4F0

Lets screw up the environment by not quitting our society's oil dependency so that a few shareholders of [INSERT_RANDOM_OIL_COMPANY_hERE] can enjoy all the $$$ while future generations (and probably us too given how fast this go) get to pay the price.
I agree - it looks almost identical. I quite dislike the new Reddit design and always have it disabled.
Why do people even use Cloudflare so extensively?

Using a CDN is not essential for every website. Just get yourself some shared webhosting or whatever for your tech blog and you are good to go, no need for fancy CDNs that go down like this.

Or is it just because it's fancy tech?

There already are a lot of projects in this space.

While better performance is always great, most are already plenty fast for the majority of use cases.

The main power comes from the multitude of inputs and outputs. Vector has a lot of catching up to do there. But if they manage to offer a noteworthy performance gain... one more is always a good thing.

PS: the Logstash numbers seem suspiciously low. I'd bet it's some JVM config issue. Logstash can come to a crawl if it does not have enough memory.
Amazon EC2 has an SLA like I mentioned: https://aws.amazon.com/compute/sla/
I posted this in another comment covering the Guardian's coverage, but figured I'd post here too in case it got lost as this seems like a more lively discussion.

Is there any indication what a 'tipping point' or irreversible positive feedback loop would look like once it had started? Would it resemble a graph such as in TFA? Or would perhaps not be an irreversible first swoop, so to speak, but instead oscillate deeper each time?

Faster loading? HN pages are so fast I sometimes wonder if my click missed the "refresh" button. This one has time to display two loading states, and the HN main page loads long before this thing's first loading state's done. This takes at least a full second before content shows up.
I guess you’ve never worked in enterprise. SLAs for critical systems very frequently incur payback in excess of the billing on outages.
Sorry for that. 'danShumway is correct - it's a snippet file called snippets.org, i.e. it's written in org-mode.

When composing my comment, I wrote a couple words about Org mode, then realized it's off-topic and deleted them before submitting the comment. I fully intended to leave just "snippets file", but forgot to remove the ".org" part.

I feel the same way.

My skills are deep in engineering/physics/biotech, but aren't really in Web-Dev. As such, I've only ever had one person reach out to me via the 'Who want to be hired?' thread in the last two years, and they just ghosted me after one email.

Granted, I'm not really the 'type' for HN and the roles posted in the 'Who's hiring?' threads aren't really in my wheelhouse. But the companies are good to look through and then contact for other roles. I've applied to companies through them, but the results have been a mixed bag for me. Things like insane HW assignments that I submit, only to be ghosted.

I love the discussions on algos, programming/comp-sci, and EE, as such things are directly relevant to my work and career. There really isn't anywhere else on the web that has the userbase that HN has, despite me being only tangentally related to the core users here. That said, you find a lot of people here that are really super smart in some tiny niche too (like actual rocket science, oil painting, 12th century Indian hymns, etc) and I love reading that stuff and learning about some tiny little bit of the universe that ends up being facinating.

I'd love to see a HN type site that was more biotech focused.

Just curious, what are you using google maps for?
I understand this too, but being on HN, familiarity with the CLI probably can be taken for granted. For all the other people this will stop them from using shady sites, but even some of them might like to have some more options included in such program... For the current feature-level there is 0 reason to do a bloated electron app - just do your 100 lines of code with tray integration for all the major OS (with a GUI) (Java might even have systray integration)

I’m concerned by climate change and fully aware that it could and likely will be disastrous. But the reflexive attacks on indications and mere implications of silver linings is annoying. It’s easy to look up that climate has destabilized, but our capacity to withstand instability has increased more. Technology and development has made the world safer for us, in spite of climate change, and it’s not clear that we won’t be able to mitigate and withstand changes in the future.

>And now they’re being forced to pay up like tourists too. Many business owners have abandoned the old two-tier pricing system that charged visitors more for food and services, meaning locals now pay the same inflated prices that outsiders do.

That's the problem right there. Such pricing should be enforced by the city plus an entry "visa" style payment...
The problem is that the climate will be fucked beyond repair when ordinary people in rich countries feel the impact on their quality of life. We need to act way before that point.

> Your post makes it sound like making a "mesh based DDoS" system is somehow trivial.

It does not. "There has to be" ends in "!" and is an expression is a wish.

> Who is going to pay for this?

All of us. Everyone. I keep circling back to the idea that we should all join a protection ring, so we'd all share "cost" on this.

> How do you ensure latency is not atrocious?
> Why hasn't someone made this already?

First one is very technical, and the answer is most probably by localisation and by only actually turning it on when needed.

For the second: because it's a very hard technical problem and there is basically no money in it. Business value maybe, but it would need people and companies to collaborate, it would probably need committee level decisions, and so far, nobody wanted to deal with this.

Or at least that's my theory.

EDIT
Maybe dat:// will eventually become a viable option, and with that, due to the distributed nature, this kind of DDOS protection is sort of built in.
