NetApp Kubernetes Service | Senior Golang Developers | REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-time

NKS offers customers a simple click-to-deploy production Kubernetes cluster across clouds and on-premise. My team builds application management features on top of this platform, using tools like Golang, Tekton, KNative, Helm. Example projects: develop secure tunnel for remote access to on-premise clusters, design buildpack workflow for building and deploying services directly into Kubernetes clusters, build GraphQL API for exposing remote cluster logs and metrics.

We're looking for experienced developers to write applications and tools in Golang. Kubernetes experience is nice, but not required.

I think it's quite a common thing for people to say if they're not actually experienced in writing the languages. I've heard it from multiple people.

As I say in the blog post, it's common knowledge for people who are experienced in writing C and/or C++ that this isn't true. But it's a misconception that persists among other programmers.
These large rich tech companies are really responsive to 'compliance' with the letter and spirit of laws that otherwise might cause severe losses. Look at, eg, gpdr, and google suddenly getting religion about you being able to mass-download your data. Yes you can legislate solutions to corporate behaviours.
Unfortunately some plants like rice are worse than livestock. Rice cultivation produces significant amounts of methane, which is a greenhouse gas worse than carbon dioxide itself.

Zero dollars. I rent a furnished place with such a POS fridge it sounds like distorted electric guitar. But I've had the pleasure of using some very nice ones. Will listen more closely next time.
The central government does not pass on this income to Transport for London (TfL). So TfL has to fund the maintenance of the major roads (aka Red Routes) in London from the income from London Underground.
Author here. Even if Slack isn't important to you, you mind find utility in what my partner and I call the "25 Year Rule"

> Assume your company is going to be around for 25 years, and treat the first few years accordingly. In other words, give yourselves room to change and grow, and take the lessons you learn during the next few years to heart. If something isn’t working for you, be honest with yourselves and your clients. If something is working well, keep doubling down on it until it doesn’t. Plan, adjust, plan, adjust, repeat.
The device looks interesting and I think I can find uses for it in other domains, than sys admin. I just skimmed over the article, but I can't find a price and from where to buy.

My wife and I raised three daughters, all of whom are in their 20's now. Their generation went from no home Internet in the mid-90's to smart phones in their pockets today. As parents we struggled like everyone simply because we didn't know what was right. I would describe the phases we went through as something like: uncertainty combined with attempts at control, followed by a loss of any illusion of control as the channels proliferated. I specifically came to feel that we were experiencing a grand and fundamental change in human society and that anything I tried to do to stand as a filter between the girls and the rest of the world that was now pouring in would do more harm than good.

In the end, they all came through it fine. I won't rattle off metrics of their normality, but they are doing fine, along with all the others of their generation that we came to know over the years. Being human they proved impressively adaptable in the face of change, even high-velocity vertigo-inducing change. As for my wife and I, we still don't know how much technology and information is the right amount, at home or in schools. In fact the only thing I think we learned on that score is how much we didn't know, how much we still don't know, and how terribly weak our ability to predict how any of this will work out is. Probably parents felt similarly 30 or 40 years after the invention of printed material, or radio, or phones. Regardless, the genie is well out of the bottle.
Fully agree. Climate change cannot be tackled by individual action, just like hunger or poverty cannot. I have by now the suspicion that anyone suggesting so while arguing that no regulation should be put in place is either naive or in bad faith.
>And yet, google has induced millions of families to spend their limited computing budget on a "non-programmable" OS.

As far as I am aware, chromebooks in education are provided by school districts, families aren't paying for it directly. You can always resort to "they are paying for it with taxes", but that would be the same for any non-chromebooks as well, except it would end up being more expensive (they won't be sold at as high of a loss as google can afford with chromebooks; count all that extra IT administration needed for non-chromebooks, adding a lot of costs as well).

>Was it really beyond google's capabilities to make this a more open, perhaps linux based environment?

It wasn't beyond their capabilities, it just wasn't a good idea for the purposes chromebooks were supposed to serve.
How is that a dark pattern? It's better if you do verify, so you can see your contacts and others can know it's you. If that fails, then we offer to use the app without verification.
I am in shock if that's not exaggeration... But then again this might be one of those things - which do happen a number of times - where an American whom I actually meet in real life tells me not to believe what I read about the US online.

I mean, there are tens of millions of schoolchildren in the US, and they seem to be "fine". Therefore it cannot be THAT bad.

But I do remember from American "highschool movies" (OK not that good of a source) that the students were always on the way to a class, just grabbing things from the lockers, but almost never just chilling, sitting around or similar (except while watching some school sport game).

But how do you even concentrate without taking breaks? That's not even good for standardized test scores. Your brain will just not take up any more info if you don't take breaks.
I understand Google's motivation for nuking ad blockers, as well as their motivations for denying every which way that that is what they want to do under whatever security justifications they can bring up, even true ones.

I don't see Mozilla's motivation to remove that at the moment.

I mean, speaking for myself, I'd drop them both and follow a fork of the browser that lets uMatrix work, and that's not something I've considered very many times in the past 20 years. Control over what my browser actually connects to has become a top-3 feature concern for me. I was going to say "I suppose 'working' is technically more important to me", but then I mentally wargamed out whether I'd be willing to use a slightly nonfunctional browser to have uMatrix and noticed that I actually already put up with a slightly nonfunctional browser to use it, because uMatrix already breaks a number of sites until I do some whitelisting.

Even if there's a security impact to extensions having too much access to the web request cycle, there's a security impact to them not having enough access to the web request, too.
Evolution can be rephrased as: a function for maximizing genetic reproducibility. Everything else, including sleeping, is a consequence of - and in service of - this function.
Restaurants should just produce their own apps. Problem solved.

Whats that? Its too hard? Well someone should make an app that makes it easy for restaurants and customers to have a relationship with each other, without involving a third party.

What's that, its too hard? Well, the OS vendors should just make it easier for a person to contact another person and place safe orders with each other ..
I suspect a human trained exactly like this and with zero previous knowledge would have have the same or worse performance. What is the surprise here? That deep learning is not magic? Do people working in A.I. not know how animals and humans learn?

Chrome turned on site isolation by default in chrome 67: https://security.googleblog.com/2018/07/mitigating-spectre-w...

My point is that the OS has no responsibility to isolate threads from one another, regardless of how many applications may try to do it themselves anyway.
I actually just started to use go on windows just to check it out. First impressions from a newbie:

- Getting started with go and vscode is kinda bad right now. I installed go, set up GOPATH, installed all kinds of extensions in vscode and then, somewhere down the official tutorial I learn about GO111MODULES, go mod init, vendor folders and the language server... I was completely confused and still am. I removed all extensions except the main one from vscode and the language server was crashing like crazy until I unset GOPATH. Works now, mostly. Intellisense and code formatting seems to be still unstable now and then. But geez, that first experience was horrible.

- The syntax is very weird after writing too much C#. Sometimes I have the feeling, that declarations are reversed just for the sake of it.

- Why does go need := with the colon? I know it's a declaration, but I haven't figured out the reason for the colon.. Seems weird..

- I love gofmt and format-on-save. But it was not the default setting. Still don't know if I should use another one.

- I hate configuring vscode. After hearing only good things about it, the configurations and keybindings are horrible and that I need an extension for each and every small thing. Maybe I'm in the minority, but Visual Studio is miles ahead in this regard, I think.

- Fast compilation times are awesome. I love, that I can create a simple exe without a framework dependency.

- I can parse 2GB of simple JSON files in less than 20s. I'm awed.

- I have no idea how to compile some modules like the sqlite one. Seems to need gcc..? Do I have to fully switch to Mingw/WSL?

- I was losing my mind when I saw my program giving different results on each run... Until I found out about that randomized map iteration.. Funny.

- Finding an item in a slice: Yeah, sometimes generics would be nice but let's not start a holy war...

- Need to get used to error handling.. It can get really verbose and those scoping rules are strange.. I miss exceptions, but I can get used to the go way.

- I love that I can use the official docs locally: godoc -http=localhost:6060

- I had to use google and stackoverflow more than I initially thought for a 'simple' language... But well, I guess that's normal?

Sorry for the rambling. I love the simplicity of the language and hope to get into it more. But the initial experience is still, umm, not streamlined, it seems? But I hope that's just temporary.
I'm not convinced that a "direct" quote from a fictional character bears any more weight in reality than a fictional attribution to another fictional character. Shouldn't the quote be attributed to the show writer(s)?

Wrong! We should make the backpacks heavier, cut gym/phys-ed altogether, and funnel the resulting surplus into purchasing more educational software[aaS] to confuse and frustrate our children and add to their already burdensome workload.
I think the concern was that it would be too expensive, but then later they were able to figure out a way to do it.

Been saying this for years. The weird part is that it's a good thing. C++ redefined auto and it has never been the same.However it's clearly a better language than it was in 2010
Now that you mentioned it, i can see how it can be interpreted as a joke. However, looking at all the other replies, a lot of people seem to actually seriously hold that belief.

I agree with you on the rest, however. I, personally, enjoy learning about computing by fixing stuff, hacking, etc. However, this won't hold true for everyone, and they shouldn't be subjected to this weird form of hazing with "we got through it, you gotta do it too, otherwise you won't learn all those computer skills (that you don't care about at all)!"

Reminds me a bit of some people in the US being almost religious about driving a car with a manual transmission. I get it, it is fun sometimes, and a pretty cool skill to have, but I am glad that most people in the US don't have to deal with that unless they want to. I had to learn it (because 99% of motorcycles still come in manual transmission only), but I do not think that manual is some life changing skill that needs to be learned by everyone. Those who need it will learn, those who don't will not, and it is a good thing we have this option. No need to force this on everyone.

Full stack developer with ~3 years of experience in Java (Play) and Javascript (React).

I have been working at one of the India's biggest telecom companies. I've contributed to a Coupons platform, some of the things I did on the project —

* Developed a mobile exclusive React based end user application used for publishing coupons.

* Integrated with a mPOS (Mobile Point of Sale) system to provide functionality such as dynamic coupon allocation based on the cart, discount calculation, and end to end tracking of coupons redemption as well as analytics.

* Helped in redesigning the platform to incorporate multi-tenancy and targeted promotion delivery.

* Contributed major features/bug-fixes to a Play(Java) based backend.

* Wrote Python/bash scripts for deployments, generating data for performance testing.

CTR_DRBG is basically the simplest reasonable CSPRNG, and a formalization/standardization of what other CSPRNGs do. As such, it's a good stationary "target" for research work. It's probably not a great idea to freak out about its presence in a design, since other designs will have similar flaws: if you have untrusted cotenant applications on the same hardware, side-channel attacks against your CSPRNG are going to be an issue.

In particular: these attacks all appear to rely on classic cache-timing attacks against software AES. The "vulnerability" in these systems, then, isn't so much the CSPRNG construction so much as the use of a faulty vulnerable software AES primitive. Even FIPS-mode OpenSSL uses a hardware AES, and so the paper has to target an older version.
This is an issue on country roads as well. I was driving down to Cinci and Google had me cut from one freeway to the next via some county side roads. We got flicked off by some guy at his house, and from the traffic, it seemed like he was frustrated how many cars were now going down his once quiet road.

Is this really worth writing about.
This is all totally fair -- I've never used restrict, so it's hard for me to have a useful opinion on it.

I think it's easy to dismiss things that can help optimisation when you've never seen their effect first-hand. I imagine if I'd had an experience where I'd used it to great advantage I'd be wishing it was in the C++ standard too :)
my favorite anecdote for this was kozmo.com - one person in the office would order a pint of ice cream, it would come 30 minutes later, followed by a cascade of ice cream orders and delivery people showing up to the office.

It might actually be a derisive term, like calling someone an NPC for similar reason; ie - a way of dehumanizing the other.

On the other hand, I know of one "user" on The Hill, that is a known Russian troll farm of some sort (not necessarily based in Russia entirely); I've caught it talking with itself in Russian, I've also seen it posting - simultaneously - both liberal and conservative talking points in different threads at the same moment in time. Tone, spelling, and grammar are also different - especially at different times of the day. It also goes offline every now and again. Others on the forums over there have noticed that same thing.

I've carried on multiple "conversation" threads with it, and it can be both intriguing, knowledgable, and ignorant depending on when you "catch" it (ie - whomever is typing on the other end).

I've made multiple attempts to figure it out - talking with it, at it, etc - and it has never disclaimed that it is a collective or not based in Russia. I am not sure what or who it is - some suspect some arm of the IRA, but it could be anything.

I don't call it a bot, because there are real humans behind it. I am not actually sure they are all Russian, because it's english is quite good at times, though I have seen hints of both British and American spellings, idioms, knowledge, etc. I suspect it's some kind of global operation, probably with paid actors of some sort.

I've only rarely have seen anything online in such forums or elsewhere that looks and acts like an actual "bot".
Has someone done a thorough deep dive into both iOS and Android's privacy stances as of current writing?

I ask the following since most of my friends just don't know which of the two to trust anymore although they clearly dont trust Google more. Not so much that they would consider getting a Librem 5[1] but are very wary of either OS given the spate of privacy violations in general, off late and given the heightened concerns over the surveillance era we currently live in.

So I ask, have they found conclusive evidence for either iOS or Android to be putting money where their mouth is, exclusively in the areas of privacy and customer data protection?

Or is it just mostly glib statements with not much in the way of substantive deployments to safeguard users?

Sundar Pichai recently said something on the lines of "Privacy should not be a luxury good", subtly taking a dig at Apple.

"To make privacy real, we give you clear, meaningful
choices around your data. All while staying true to two
unequivocal policies: that Google will never sell any
personal information to third parties; and that you get
to decide how your information is used.[2]

Is there any meat to any of this, as of this writing?

Simply put if you didn't mind sacrificing a few bells and whistles which of the two OSes would your next phone have?
Android or iOS?

There are lots of solid choices, and as always it depends on what your problem is. If you want to have an easy time hiring, go with something popular like React, TypeScript, Python.

If you're willing to choose some excellent languages that are not going to be easy to hire for, I highly recommend http://elm-lang.org for frontend, and https://www.haskell.org for backend. Both of these scale incredibly well.
