The New Metrics of Object Storage
There is also a completely lackluster vision on staying up to date and having everything deprecate into legacy because _it still works_ (until the law or interpretation of it changes which happens more often than you think). This is also very noticeable within the organization where we are running on so much end-of-life/extended-life-support software/services that it's an insult to the tax payer's money.

My biggest fear is getting stuck and also becoming legacy. I am definitely keeping up with the industry and becoming a better engineer/problem-solver but looking at some of my colleagues they might think the same yet having worked for the same institute for 15+ years they wouldn't be able to function outside of it. I am also concerned I am "wasting" my best years by arguably under-performing for my abilities and drive. My ideal job would be working here but as an outsider, challenged to improve systems throughput, listening to the "client" and making things better (there is no "conversion" to optimize but I can think of several KPIs which are lackluster and am certain I can improve). There is also this kind of stigma in working for govt (your requirements/software cannot possibly be complex!) which I think will spiral most people into staying in govt for ever because they are seen as a "window staring" underperformer.

So yeah, even though it's not that bad and I like my job should I challenge myself more and try to switch to a more commercial organization? Is my experience too limited to make a proper judgement or am I vastly over estimating the difference between commercial and govt software engineers? Perhaps consider a path as consultant? Thank you for your time.

I'd imagine that a lot of this is attributable to Firesheep calling attention to how anyone on a public Wi-Fi network could snoop on your Facebook traffic.

Most of the major websites fast-tracked HTTPS shortly after that.
How exactly would you show such a complex topic in these 10 second music skits?
Yeah, the only one that I'd leave out is "Android Fit". Google doesn't brand much as Android these days.
Vespa is great, but is much harder to use than Elasticsearch. It's also very much geared towards ranking and not filtering.

For example, you can't do exact string matches (!). All string matches are case insensitive. You also cannot index nested fields (e.g. a map or array of maps) for search. In the end, you have to munge your data considerably to make it fit Vespa's data model.

It also feels odd and antiquated in many ways, with XML configurations all over the place.

But it's fast!

I agree and thanks for your support, but based on voting patterns whenever I raise this perspective, it seems to be a rather unpopular idea.
The comparison to a spiral with random points plotted doesn't seem to be enough to show that this is a pattern in the primes. It would be interesting to see, say, a spiral with everything that's not a multiple of 2 or 3 plotted. Maybe the spiral of primes just looks like it has a pattern because it's a subset of that.
Floating, remote operating bases that can move to provide persistent support are still pretty important if you want to hold territory. Long-range missiles can hit an objective, but I'm not sure we really have long-loiter-capable assets to just go around in a circle and provide a similar capability to a carrier. Furthermore, I can't imagine the cost of some future-whatever RAMjet craziness that would get closer to carrier-level strike times, but I'm just an armchair strategist. A cost comparison would certainly be interesting!
True, with newer catapult systems linear motor driven instead of steam driven.
This really has been posted here a lot - Well, for those following along at home, this story actually got a relatively recent update - as of this spring, the 1/10-scale Cray-1A is now residing next to its bigger self in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View!
If an extension can't be installed silently (e.g. by a -rd party app installer once you forget to uncheck a checkbox) that's great (except for enterprise users perhaps as they need to automate such tasks). If I can't just install an extension/app manually from a file on my hard drive - I don't need such a browser/platform.
I write games in C#, but I've worked in embedded systems.

The thing is most methods for avoiding GC are just round about ways of doing manual memory management. And games are soft realtime, so a dropped frame every now and then is generally acceptable.

Also look at the new Unity DOTS stuff. They are building their own high performance subset of C# where memory layout and data locality are first class concerns and adding in mechanisms for manual memory management.
> musical.ly appears to have always had its head office in Shanghai until the acquisition.

That's not true. I have not found a specific date, but the Shanghai office did not exist at the time musical.ly was founded. I have not found any references to the Shanghai office from before late 2015.
I just found "The Barcode Book" in my local library, and it was pretty cool to see dozens of different barcode schemes out there, all with different properties. The world of interesting, useful barcodes is much larger than QR codes.
What makes political flamewars off topic on HN is that they are repetitive and therefore predictable. There's no curiosity in that, and HN is a site for curiosity. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Substantive conversation about the specifics of the OP is different; that's possible, and if people can do it, it's on topic here. But it takes discipline not to devolve into flame-throwing.

When a thread gets to the level of name-calling about concentration camps, there's no substantive discussion left to be had. Internet forums as a medium are quick to become vessels for venting rather than information sharing. That's what we want to avoid here. If your wish is to fight battles and smite enemies, please do so elsewhere. I'm sure there are many good reasons to smite them; we are certainly not saying that these issues are unimportant.

That's OK. Forum discussions are not the highest fidelity communication medium.

What I mean about Rich Hickey's philosophy and Haskell are things like the quotations below. I think they're great insights and they apply really well to Haskell, at least to Haskell written in the way that a significant subset of us like to write it. On the other hand I'm not much convinced by arguments about the "natural way of thinking about the world". Firstly, imperative programming proponents are convinced that the world is imperative and it is natural for humans to think imperatively. Secondly, I became a much better programmer using Haskell that using Python, despite Python naturally "fitting my brain" (a popular, and valid, quote amongst Python programmers) and me having to "fit my brain to" Haskell.

Anyway, that's mostly just my opinion. On the other hand, an objective technical innovation that could bring a huge amount of ergonomic benefit to Haskell is a type system feature called "row types". That would allow us to have anonymous records which we could add fields to and delete fields from at will, just like in an untyped language, whilst also providing the type system guarantees that we're used to. I think that would be hugely beneficial but for some reason that doesn't seem to be on the horizon.

Bingo; well, I'm not talking about one person in particular, but it goes like this:

"Hey [person at platform company], I'm [person whose social network slightly overlaps with yours but who has more reputation], a journalist at [publication that can instantly shape public opinion on any topic]. I'm doing an article on [bad person], who once said [worst interpretation of anything person has ever said] and has been called [threat to public safety and order] by [prestigious NGO] and is also associated with [tenuously connected group that is even worse]. Are you aware your website is [assumption that company endorses bad person's content]? There has been [mention of thousands of angry and unstable people, implication of social and economic damage] on [social media platform where I myself and my friends have considerable influence] about this."

It's also interesting to think about why something becomes a "news event" in the first place, as if it were something that simply falls from the sky.
Actually, I don't think there is. In my experience, a notification, even if it tells you explicitly "I'm not as urgent as others" for instance by sound, is still a distraction. I found that I feel and work better with having only the most urgent notifications on - even my phone is often left in DnD mode. Notifications degrade quality of life a lot.
In all of the hiring that I’ve been a part of, this would be considered an absolutely huge red flag if it couldn’t be well justified, on the very slim chance you were given a chance to justify it.

It suggests you were a poor fit for those positions. If your whole resume suggests this, then you’re most likely a poor fit for the position you’re being considered for, which is most likely related to your experience.

I think that proving you can grow in a position is the best way to get good compensation and projects. Demonstrating that you’ll just check out means you’ll never grow or be given anything long term.

The encryption is still point-to-point, just that the website you are connecting to has chosen to make their "point" AWS or Cloudflare or whatever else. You could as easily host something in your own DC or from a machine under your desk.
> Just because one flies high one day does not mean if you fly low the next day that it is negative at all. Because hey - you are FLYING!

Sure, and maybe that mentality works for you, but I feel like a lot of people are more sensitive to differentials than actual quality-of-life.

For example, if I get a big raise at work, then that's great; I will probably be happy for awhile, and after that, I'll probably equalize to more or less the level of happiness I was before. Imagine that I then lose that raise, going back to the same salary that I started with. I would probably be pretty depressed over that, despite the fact that I wouldn't, in practice, be any worse than how I started.

I'm not saying it's rational, I'm just saying that's how I (and I think a lot of people) would react.
What do you mean by solar energy being infinite? There's a clear limit to how much energy the sun outputs. If we had high efficiency collection it would last us for awhile. But I think a lesson to learn from all this is that no resource is unlimited and it's better to recognize those limitations and prepare a mitigating well ahead of time rather than when we're in crisis. Though lack of sufficient solar energy (because high energy demands) is not likely to be catastrophic.

I've also heard of QR-reader software being exploitable through QR codes that they're supposed to read.

So any time I see a QR code, I hesitate to point a reader app at it because I'm concerned that my phone could get hacked through it.
Plenty of people, myself included, write games in C#. But it's soft realtime so occasional frame drops aren't a huge deal. And we are constantly doing our own manual memory management with things like object pooling to avoid the GC whenever possible.
Except that Uber is not doing that at all. They do make a gross profit on each ride. Its more like asking if you were successful if you were generating a lot of revenue by selling people dollar bills for $1.15/each, but losing money because of very high operations costs. The answer would be "it depends".

I run a firewall at home with OPNSense. It has OpenVPN server built in, easily configured from the web interface.

Then you simply copy the .ovpn file from your server (the firewall) to your clients (phones, laptops), and open the file with an OpenVPN client on each device. It contains all info needed for them to connect to your new server.
you mix in the neonicotinoid with the dirt, and you refill the ditch. Used this way there is absolutely no risk to bees or aquaculture

Does this mean it's not possible that e.g. it starts raining, the neonicotinoid mixes with the water which then eventually makes it into a nearby stream? I.e. just like your thrid paragraph describes?
>> shortcomings stop mattering as much

While that's true, your strengths stop mattering as much to your coworkers and managers as well, so eventually you run out of steam promo-wise. So unless I'm on a tear in the career department, I rarely stay more than 2 years on any given team anymore.
I'd say navigating on long road trips is one of them. While my current car has a built-in GPS, my previous one didn't, and so I was somewhat dependent on having a working phone in order to navigate.

Now, only somewhat. I generally know how to get home from where I am, and I figure if my phone were to fail, I could drive until I could find a gas station with a map. (Or perhaps a convenience store to get a charger cable or new phone.)

And of course, this fear (of being phoneless) is just an update of an old one (of being lost). It's really hard to get lost in the modern world of gps and data.

Things to consider. Javascript has a much stronger separation between language specification, standard library, and runtimes than Python. The Javascript standard library is famously sparse, and there are multiple runtimes with significant usage and development. Python on the other hand has a much larger standard library to maintain, and effectively has only one runtime (yes, I love PyPy too, but realistically 99+% of runtimes are CPython). And they are all implemented by the same group.

The mechanics of quickly releasing language level changes, or standard library changes, or runtime changes in Python I feel do not fully map to that of the Javascript experience.

The language usage models are also very different. In the majority of Javascript use cases, I feel that you either fully control the runtime and code (like in a server, or something like Electron), or you have a fairly intelligent server determining what the runtime environment is and providing backwards compatibility shims for you (polyfills on browsers).

Certainly something like the first case exists for Python, but certainly the tooling for deploying onto arbitrary runtime and capabilities doesn't quite exist. Indeed, the Python packaging story is one of its weaknesses right now.

Python certainly could be made into something where the Javascript like process would work, but I'd certainly agree with anyone in the core Python development team who believed that they thought their energies could be focused better on other priorities.
