You have to

* Ship the new version

* Wait until you are sure you don't need a rollback to an old version

* flip the switch

If you don't wait, you might need to roll back to an old version that doesn't support the new state, which then blows up.
> We don’t share tech stacks, but we do work together, and as you can imagine that leads to wasted resources. We’re a C# shop our direct neighbour does PHP, because of limited resources, we can’t utilise each others projects. That’s just a silly waste. Good luck convincing anyone to change their overall and often cohesive strategy for tech choices though.

One suggestion, if you don't mind. When I did work for the DoD as a contractor, because of small business rules in government contracting we were pretty much forced to work with at least 10 other companies and all of them had their own preferences for tech stacks, their own expertise, etc. So we tried to go down the road of using things like thirft or avro so regardless of what language / stack you used, as long as you could interface with those on the same network (since we're talking about inter-service communication here) it was still pretty quick.

It's not ideal but sometimes you gotta work with what you have. Sometimes you can find unique ways to bridge gaps across platforms to re-use work. One time a group we worked with tried to use a web app with multiple iframes as the communication bridge between stacks. It _worked_ but it was pretty hacky and slow.

Four Foods to Include on Your Six Pack Abs Diet
If you have not seen results with cutting carbs, starving yourself, or doing breakneck work out routines, then this is a glorious moment for you. You can eat well, make sure you're in good hands and lose weight the right way. If you're one of the millions of people that have failed at dieting, or simply hate the idea, you should realize that there is a greater hope for you. It's time to finally enjoy food in a greater capacity, and feel great doing it. Not only that, if you do not see results in 11 days, you can walk away. Think about it, 11 days, that's no time. Two business weeks or less than two full weeks, you're going to finally meet your goals, bank on it!

And as I always say - STOP THE POP. Soda pop not only raises your blood sugar level and is a cause of diabetes, but is also has been linked to prostrate cancer. The carbonation in pop also eats away the protective lining in your colon and if you drink diet pop the sweetener, Aspartame, is made from wood alcohol which has been linked to migraines.

HTML mails are routinely formatted using tables since that is what most mail clients correctly understand, it's essentially the design standard there.

People manage on HN but on reddit people freely use these formattings fairly regularly and nobody seems to complain about that.

For me, this is almost always a sign, that they don't think that high about their own content.

Trying to stop the reader from leaving, in a browser tab he can close at any time, is kind of ridiculous to me..
The site lists Microsoft being the defacto contributor to the C# language spec as a negative. Honestly I think Microsoft has been an excellent steward of the language, and their opinionated choices over the years have helped keep C# succinct while also capable and modern.

I'm a bit of a fanboy, but when you compare it to the language that has been around longer and is a direct competitor (Java), C# really blows it out of the water for most common programming tasks (async, operator overloading, pair/triple returns in C# 7, var keyword, superior generics, to name a few.)

While I don't like Go very much, but I find this one unjustified:

> Similarly, the len function on strings returns the number of bytes in the string, which is not necessarily the number of characters.

Should len do unicode normalization (NFC)? Than it's extremely complex. Or should it count code points? Then it's simply broken.

Counting bytes is fine, I'll do explicit normalization if I need to.

>can be conveniently concatenated with +, and can be used as map keys.

Does Go do a normalization for a concatenated string as it should?

I don't know where this conspiracy theory came from but it's patently absurd. Hong Kong already shares a river border with Shenzhen on which there are at least 7 ~100m long bridges as well as 1 ~3km long bridge that can put Chinese tanks directly onto HK New Territories.

The HK-Zhuhai-Macau bridge is a 55km long bridge connecting a 8x smaller city in China to Lantau Island which then requires another separate two bridge crossing to reach the New Territories (and then another to reach HK Island).

The military strategic value of this bridge is less than nil. The bridge was built for its stated purpose which was to increase integration and economic growth of the Greater Bay Area. The indirect effect of this is to tie HK's economy more deeply into the Mainland's so that HK becomes assimilated but there this was plainly stated from the beginning of the project.

"but my paper says one franc in 1830 was about £2.2"

My rule of thumb pre Euro was 10 (French) Francs to the £, so one Franc being worth 10p.

Pounds carried over with the same value during decimalisation, I havent found anything about the Franc changing so if true this is quite a devaluation over the years.
It also assumes that you're not going to bring in any more income for the rest of your life too. While the OP could retire and live on a beach somewhere for the rest of his life... By the nature of being someone who posts on HN, I'm betting that that's not the case.
I think something that's missing in this list is to have a really good and consistent QA cycle. You need to have rollbacks, I agree, but even better is, when bugs can't even make it into your production build. Having automated testing set up, (actually correctly done) code reviews and quality gateways in place can save you a lot of time rolling back your code. Catch the bug before it goes into live.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but other people may make a difference in what "is clear" to them.

I started writing Go at age 23, for what its worth. (That was a just a few years ago.) I like Go because its simple. Obviously, that is also its downfall. Overall, I would still hold it as one of the best languages for writing various kinds of software (servers, CLI tools, and some odds and ends.)

It’s true that you can write bad Go by trying to do things that are not a good idea, but I’m not sure what you’d expect. The Go ecosystem is damning evidence of the ease of writing pretty good code in the language.

Disclaimer: I work for Google (but I do not work on Go and I did not work for Google when I first began writing Go.)

Keep in mind tptacek quite literally pastes replies gushing about Signal/Wire in any thread related to PGP or instant messaging. They even paste it in threads which mention PGP but talk about other issues such as file encryption, signing etc, ie the uses not covered by an instant messaging platform. I have come to just skimming over anything they say because of it. Come on, put a bit of effort into your reply.

> Wire uses metadata but only requires an e-mail account.

It also doesn't offer federation. At this point I think Matrix is the best hope if you're okay with minimal metadata. It is also making huge strides of progress if you keep up to date with their development, so that's exciting. https://matrix.org/blog/posts

> There is Cwtch (https://cwtch.im/) that extends Ricochet to support multi-party messaging. I did not dig deep into it, but it may use the same algorithms. Additionally, it uses a language with a GC.

I have high hopes for Cwtch. It seems to be a common thing people don't want to address: metadata. That said you can have a fairly meta-dataless experience with Matrix if you run a server and don't federate.

~500lb is very much an aspiration life time goal for most trained men, even revised army fitness standard full score doesn't ask for more than 340lbs. Minimum is 140lbs. I think NASA / astronauts prescriptions is also a very low sub bodyweight multiplier for reps to prevent atrophy AND MITIGATE INJURY RISK in space which is key. That is probably what the general population should shoot for.

On social media, the gold standard for bragging strong was 500 as little as 5 years ago, hence all the meme that 600 is the new 500 and now 700 is the new 500 everytime world records are pushed by elite athletes no one should be comparing themselves to. But for some reason a lot of lifters tend to do this even though very few people think if they train hard enough they can be faster or comparable to Usain Bolt.

I think it's a unique development with the intersection of social media and lifting culture. The bell curve for strength in the population hasn't changed, but the top 0.01% are increasingly visible and it's causing a crisis in social comparison that's not healthy. I don't know if it's a unique issue only for people involved in niche powerlifitng/bodybuilding subcultures, I think it's one of those situations where memes migrate up to general fitness/resistance training enthusiasts and starts to affect casual viewers who like to compare. There's also a fair amount of people who get into lifting due to self esteem reasons.

A lot of people are unaware of how insanely fast computers are. If you can do a computational task in a year, a computer should be able to do it well within a second.

At a previous employer, we had a test that took about 45 minutes, which most people just accepted as a fact of life. Unfortunately, we had to use this test a lot. After I optimized it (in my own time, because the team lead didn't think it had priority), it took 5 freaking seconds. Probably still far from optimal, but way more manageable.

Go is such a primitive language it feels like systems programming (C) without actually being useful for systems programming and is wildly outclassed for applications programming. The perfect self selector for Google's SRE army.
Animal studies are about models and proof of concept, not direct replication. It’s silly to get hung up on that aspect.

Comparative Medicine is conducted with an awareness of the necessity for additional translational research, and while pharmaceutical outcomes are potentially total dead ends due to deeper biochemical pathway differences (which are strongly rooted all the way down to genetic differences, even across human subpopulations), one can easily get a sense of the value you of animal studies via trauma and gross anatomical studies.

A surgeon won’t make the same cuts and blood vessel clamps in a porcine heart transplant as with a human, but if you can transplant one pig’s heart into another pig, human to human is next. Curveballs like blood transfusion (types and factors) and immuno-suppression/rejection add overhead to making a transplant work in humans, but the answers to the big questions all say it will work.

So too with mice and rats and dogs and primates. To a degree behavioral realities fit too, although humans have a far deeper grasp of abstract concepts, so we’ll make leaps of cognition that render some animal models invalid.

Humans and animals are both prone to compulsive behaviors, addiction, self harm, but how we get there is often a little different since society and the rule of law can lend layers of social padding that give us a second chance to rescue ourselves before we violate norms and resort to pathological patterns. So animal psychology compares along bolder, broader strokes and lines than broken bones and wound care.

So 80% failure is just considering direct replication of practice, like a vet going and doing the same thing to a person. Sometimes the vet can save the day, but other times a human has a very different standard of care.

You'd probably be happier with the full quote:

"Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%." ~Donald Knuth (1974)

I'm not the biggest fan of Go for it's stripped nature or Rust for the complex babysitting the type system needs, but I much prefer both to C. so that is a win for me and hence both achieve that goal.

Similarly, I love how expressive Scala is, that seems like an unspoken design goal of Odersky's. You can't get that without there being a million ways to do something.
Weight training is as much neurological stimulation as it is muscular. In fact, most of the fast gains a new lifter makes are due to learning to recruit motor units, which is to say training the nervous system. As any long time lifter can tell you, putting on muscle mass naturally takes a long time. The question is does stimulating motor neurons have knock on effects for the rest of the CNS? It's plausible that it does, but with some brief searching I'm not finding any compelling research that it does or doesn't.
Sorry, I still don't understand. The post say you need to do

1. Have the code recognize the new value. Get that shipped everywhere.

2. Have the code do something reasonable when the new value appears. Get that shipped everywhere.

3. Start emitting the new value.

My proposal is

1. Have the code recognize the new value. Have the code do something reasonable when the new value appears. Get that shipped everywhere.

2. Start emitting the new value.

If the user has to manually update, and might refuse to do so, the problem exists under both the 3 step and the 2 step process. So nothing is gained by using the 3 step process.

If the client and backend are updated independently, that should still be fine with the 2 step process. The 2 step process says "Get that shipped everywhere", meaning shipped to both the client and the backend.

This is a 20th century view of warfare that is supremely outdated. One thing to keep in mind is that there's been a radical change in the technology of warfare over the last ~15 years or so, and counting battleships and battalions isn't sufficient for gauging what "works" anymore.

There was an interesting study here [1].

They researched the prevalence of cancer in ancient societies using a variety of methods - remains, reporting, etc. The goal was to determine whether the relative lack of cancer in ancient societies was driven by some sort of external factor such as inability to detect cancer in remains, poor reporting, lower life expectancies, etc or rather it was simply because cancer was simply much less common. The evidence available tends to point very much towards the latter which, in turn, suggests that we have created environmental conditions which are driving cancer. The paper references two papers which have pointed to general pollution as a major potential driver there.

Death rates are not a relevant measurement on this topic either since they're heavily confounded by increase in survival rates. You need to look at incident rates, which continue to increase worldwide. Even lung cancer is now on the rise among females.

For some reason, coffee machines with a built-in reservoir for coffee beans annoy me a lot more than the ones with a filter. For one with a filter, I know I have to put some coffee in it and fill the reservoir. I can determine the strength of the brew by this as well. The ones with built-in reservoirs should be able to give you a cup of coffee, but it is incredibly annoying when you have to suddenly refill the reservoir.
