Can you explain what you mean with service lifecycle management in regards to micro services please, or do you have a book on it? I'm currently studying SE and it's the first time it has come up. Thank you :)
The fact that we don't have a good metric of intelligence doesn't make iq a useful measure of intelligence.

IQ is only useful in determining pathologies, at the lower end, where any test is usually helpful. For anything else, it's almost entirely snake oil.

If you want to know whether someone is good at something, the best way to test that is to do a test for that particular thing. A test for general inteligence, based on the assumption that general intelligence aptitude is normally distributed in the population, is just not good for anything, and is unlikely to be a reflection of reality, it's pure scientism (instead of science).
Can you back it up? Last time I asked an expert, any kind of personally identifiable data that someone would receive would create a liability.
Climate change is a problem, but only one of many. Climate is just a natural resource, like building land, oil, drinkable water, lithium, and so on. The GDP of countries is now proportional to the availability of these natural resources. So from now on, people will get poorer and poorer, leading to politic instability, civil war, and the like. We have been warned in 1972, with the Club of Rome, and they survey, "The limits to Growth". Now, we have reached those limits.

Yes, I get that.

But many people probably don't realize that portable computers with WiFi can be geolocated just as well as phones. Better than dumb phones, even.
> I'll have to read/work on that code sooner or later

In the microservices organizations I've seen, this isn't true. The other service teams provide an API and, like any other SaaS you use, you do not need to be able to read the implementation. You would only work on that code if you switch service teams.
One thing you probably underestimate is that the relationship between employer and employee is very different in France wrt, say, UK/US/Canada.

France has something called "job loyalty." After the ~6 months trial period, a good employee will typically never quit their job, because this would be breaking a bond that is nearly as strong as that of marriage. The employer is, of course, expected to do treat employees as best as possible. If economic pressure forces the employer to lay off people, this is a reality of life, and France has laws that forces the employer to make it happen in a humane manner (i.e. fairly large severance check, among other things).

Here, managers decided to cut out on their side of the deal by employing "placardisation", i.e. bullying people out of their job, i.e. bringing these people to nervous breakdown. But culturally, these people couldn't quit. They could only hope that their managers would be replaced by better managers.

So when you're saying that "No one forced these people to either work at the company or to commit suicide" – well, yes, they were forced because that's how everybody is raised in France.
You're assuming Autopilot can't currently account for losing traction (this is probably true). But unexpectedly hitting a patch of black ice won't favor one model over the other - in either case you'll use the same methods to slow down. The only difference would be if you also had to avoid an object some distance ahead, and the drift model helped you maneuver around it by applying the throttle.

It's extremely difficult for me to contrive a scenario where this would help avoid an accident over a standard traction control model found in any modern automobile. But technically I guess it's possible it could help.
It’s not bland it’s direct. What you’re doing is conflating personal preference with actual language features. Most developers who aren’t us would say python, being a higher level, dynamic scripting language rather than Golang which is lower level and extremely explicit about the data your program is using. Iteration in go is simply harder as you have to be more explicit rather than sketching something out. Changing that more explicit stuff is harder if you got it wrong while iterating. Why do you think Golang is better at iteration?

Add in extremely poor error messages, lack of generics, having to generate loads of code for various things, the ability to crash whole services if your program does something incorrect, excruciating error handling will all slow you down.
1. Consolidate all spending on a credit card that gives cash back. Autopay all bills that don’t levy fees with it.

Pros: no need to worry about points or blackout dates; maximize cash back; facilitates budget tracking with annual summaries and integration with budgeting sites (otherwise you’ll have to do it manually).

Examples: Double Cash 2% cash back, Apple Card 1-3% depending on payment method

2. Direct deposit your paycheck into one bank account that your credit card from 1 and investment account from 4 are connected to (set it up so only investment account can debit from the bank, not vice versa). Autopay remaining bills from 1.

Pros: only worry about paying one bill (credit card); only the hub bank account is exposed, bulk of savings is isolated in investment account.

3. Max out 401k and IRA every year using automatic deductions from your paycheck/bank account.

Pros: saving/investing on autopilot; lower taxable income

4. Consolidate and invest all savings (and roll over old 401k accounts) into an index fund at Vanguard or Fidelity. Auto-deduct from your paycheck in increasing amounts until you hit the pain threshold.

Pros: automatic diversification; one place to monitor your investments; maximum investing on auto-pilot.
It's true that some scientists have made very dour (and wrong) predictions about, for example, over population.

But no-one argues the fact that the average global temp has increased dramatically, compared to the previous thousands of years, in the last 100 years. That's lightening fast on a geologic scale, but still pretty slow on a human scale.

My point is: don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because some people overstated the case doesn't mean it's all bunk.
Various solutions have been known about for more than 30 years. Back then, we could’ve done it with nuclear reactors — those can still help, but these days we’ve also got solar, wind, and batteries so cheap that they’re largely displacing coal in latitudes north of the entire contiguous USA, and starting to undercut oil and natural gas.

Sorry for the snark, but I recommend narrowing the area of interest.
> you’ve offloaded to your app what your database is designed to deal with.

A lot of NoSQL design patterns lead you into this trap tbh. If you’re trying to make NoSQL work with relational data, you end up in a lot of situations where you have to choose between complex, over-engineered interfaces, or pushing more work into the client. For example, requiring the client to manage intermediate states because you can’t make efficient use of transactions.
Name calling is uncalled for, I agree. But you seem to reside in Germany; not sure what you are worried about anyway (you would get (but will never get because your previous site already complied fine, as do most sites that are not personal data farms) multiple warnings and you can simply respond to those as a person (no lawyer needed or warranted), but yes, ofcourse, you are entitled to your opinion. Anyone is as far as i'm concerned.
Over population is now a reality, you should be blind for not seeing it.
Microservices is changing dev complexity to ops.

That's why most companies are promoting devs to do ops .

So then you have devops
The thing is: By the time the car has traction again it might have rotated around the up-axis. Getting back from that configuration do a less unstable configuration can very well improve if the car knows how to drift, especially how to go into the desired direction even before the drift has ended. Doing so would make the (result from the) initial lose of control on the black ice more limited and more controlled, hence less risky.

tl;dr. nothing you can do on the black ice. but if you have tracking again there might be faster and saver ways then "first stop drifting, second start driving in the correct direction".
30 years of that nonsense.

This time it could be for real!
It is meaningless to talk about "refuting" it. It's a "just so" story. Whoever wants to believe in it will, evidence or no. If you assume souls matter, and evolution doesn't, you have achieved nothing, and cannot predict anything. You are reduced to catalogging observations with no pattern, or just siiting and drooling.

Not a direct answer, but many image manipulation programs allow you to shift the hue, so you can have a red variant, a green one, etc. If one color is not enough, that's your chance to learn digital imaging techniques.
Multivariate (i.e. A/B) testing tools.

They change the page client-side, which introduces a problem they call “flicker”. It just means that for a moment you see the server-side rendered page as-is, then the tool hacks it into something else, depending on which group you’re in. This can obviously be jarring. The “flicker” is overcome by a page-hiding snippet that shows the page after the tool has done its dirty business or after a timeout (typically 3s).

Often, these tools aren’t used for multivariate testing at all. They’re used because the marketing team doesn’t want to go through the web team, so they get an exec to force the web team to install the tool (along with 50 other pieces of marketing crapware) so marketing can hack its changes into the website after it’s loaded. It’s not uncommon for these tools to completely break the website, because the web team makes a change that breaks assumptions relied upon by the marketing team’s hacks.

Often, the marketing team will have these changes made by a developer who they hire directly. They are unqualified to interview developers and this is one of many ways incompetent developers find employment.
I used to think that global warming was an absolute true fact of life but with age, I've become more skeptical.

I've worked with and listened to enough scientists that I've become skeptical of certain branches of science; particularly those that try to make general predictions based on incredibly complex data which encompasses an almost infinite number of variables.

Several things which make me doubt:

- Having worked on extremely complex software projects, I don't believe that any human being is capable of understanding or simulating something as complex as the earth, they will almost certainly exclude the vast majority of variables; many of which may not seem relevant to our primitive human minds but which may in fact be critical once you factor them in combinations with all other variables.

- The earth was hotter at several points in the not-so-distant history. The Earth's climate has been constantly fluctuating.

- Humans only produce 3% of the total CO2 released in the atmosphere each year. I wouldn't be surprised if the annual average fluctuation in CO2 produced by geothermal activity alone is higher than 3%.

- Scientists acknowledge that more CO2 means a greener earth because plants strive on CO2 but they fail to acknowledge the possibility that more plants would take out more CO2 from the atmosphere so even with these primitive models it's looking more like some kind of equilibrium will be reached rather than a 'point of no return' as climate scientists keep advertising.

- Life on earth has always been evolving and can continue to evolve to handle changes in temperatures. The species which don't adapt will die out and this is fine, it has always been like this.

- If the Earth can go from being a burning ball of magma (as it was millions of years ago) to what it is today, then surely it can recover from a few degrees higher than normal. Without hindsight, nobody could have predicted that this burning ball of magma would become the lush planet that we have today and yet scientists are claiming that they can make predictions from an initial state which is much more complex and less predictable than that relatively simple ball of magma.

- Climate scientists need jobs and they wouldn't have any if they didn't continuously create fear to keep public funding coming their way. At some point in the past, for reasons unknown to us, some powerful people decided to give climate scientists a platform and a voice on the world stage and now they make heavy use of it.
It also doesn't mean others will fix their damn products.

And even if they do, it doesn't mean anyone will replace existing hardware already deployed into production.
Thanks for the feedback! We've done just that.
Because in feudalism and before, or more recently in socialism - where I grew up - nobody ever took shortcuts, for selfish reasons or to please someone or to fulfill some goal (set by some boss or by the "central committee", does not matter) and everybody only thought of the greater good?

Many times when there is discussion about issues like the environment there is such a comment blaming capitalism. I can assure you from my own personal live experience and from having seen huge changes after reunification, in capitalism-free East Germany the environment was orders of magnitude worse off than in capitalist West Germany. Don't blame human behaviors on capitalism/socialism/whatever.
Besides the discussion about the GDPR which is offtopic (and in my opinion it's not handy to be openly political if you want uptake of your product as it's not related to your product but it does taint it (as can be seen here); maybe in the 'about' or 'privacy' it would fit, but that is a matter of opinion), great work on Klong and I'll buy your book to read over xmas.

Duh this should be common knowledge by now and it s only getting worse. Yes you should be freaked out about living in a world without privacy, but no, democracy is not in danger, freedom is in danger. In fact, democratic people voted for this shit and they keep voting for more regulation/spying because "think of the children/terrorists". Authoritarian control has gotten hold of both democracies and non-democracies and people are fine with it. So, maybe blame the majority along with the phones.
The actual mental slavery, is the notion of instructions.
You have Operand A, Operand B, and a hidden Operand I, which operates on given Operands, encoded in a endless chain of drudgery.

Now imagine a system, which is deterministic, but purely phyics based, data flows continously at maximum possible speed, by beeing copied from A to *, and operations, are executed purely as a attribute of data- meaning, this river carrying sand, carrys certain certain sand, again purely as a property to a stone in the river, where it is grinded, split, etc..

Then again, the new data, having diffrent "physical" properties, is sped along to other streams.

The art to program such a machine, would be to understand the physics of data, of the system, to place a stone upriver, and to know, where downriver to reach, to collect the gem, liberated and polished.

Such dataphysics also has interesting inherent properties. Interaction can never reach farther then the number of processors in parallel times the maximum length of data. So dataphysics has a lightcone, within which it is fully parallel. One could take data out and insert it into this determinstic simulations, simply by staying out of sight and keeping causality.
But i digress.
Except for the hundreds of thousands of europeans who travel exclusively by bike and train (100% renewables here), are vegan, eat local all year round, own a fairphone, and invest their money into renewables.

But sure project your unwillingness for mild inconvenience in return for a sustainable lifestyle onto others.

Going 100% green doesn't mean 0% fossil fuel btw, it can also mean that said fossil fuel is offset with CO2 capturing projects like reforestation or rewetting bogs.

Besides, the whole point of the article is that it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive to make money and switch 100% to renewable energy sources.

The whole point of government is to pool resources and coordinate policy so that the collective can achieve goals that would not be achievable by individuals.

One can could easily invert you argument to expose its fallacies:

It is true that I missed the shift from CCD to CMOS cell tech, but it doesn't change anything. It might be that the camera chip filters out much of the noise, which would be too bad, but there is plenty left.
After reading this I was wondering if it might be fun to write a HTTP-proxy that a) recorded everything, in an SQLite database, and b) presented a localhost-server which would let you search that content.

I suspect it would get very very very busy, with tracking-pixels, etc, but if you only made it archive text/plain, text/html, and similar content-types it might be a decent alternative to bookmarks, albeit only on a single host/network.

Wouldn't be hard to knock up a proof of concept, perhaps I should do that this evening.

Show HN: SlingshotDB – Golang In-Memory GraphDB (Alpha)
It'll be interesting to see how it works. I would probably fight to not have shared dependencies because the relatively small benefit does not seem to merit the increased coupling between teams - if all teams needs to agree before a library can be upgraded, I can't imagine it will be very easy to keep libraries up-to-date. To a certain extent it depends on how large your engineering org is, which I don't know.

I've been in companies that moved from monolith to microservices and I saw it work well except when teams had such tight cross-service dependencies that they had to get other teams' ok before making changes to internal details of their service. Then developer velocity was slower than before because it took time to make the cross-team discussion happen and political capital to make other team care when they have other priorities.

Having worked at ad and design agencies I am highly confident all of that deck has been back-ported onto the new logo to justify the large fee the client paid.

I can virtually guarantee a designer knocked up a few variants, the creative director said “Oh, this looks nice”, and they made up a long and on-brand pitch deck to send to the client.
I don't know about this specific case, but I can give you examples in other companies. Some of them were things I lived through "thanks" to a former boss of mine who's still lurking on HN so hello, former boss.

1. Move someone's desk to (sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively) a closet: a place where they don't see anyone.

2. Set someone to watch them. Make sure that they can't speak to anyone during the day. Make sure that they are always at their desk. If they're not, for any reason, make sure to blame them.

3. Repeat them three times per day that they are doing a piss-poor job.

4. But also make sure that they have nothing to do. Make-believe job at best, but it must be clear to them that it's make-believe job. Once they have produced their deliverables, ignore these entirely.

5. Set them up to fail. Give them impossible deadlines. Change the goalposts. Give them a title and responsibilities that looks like they have entire teams working for them but never fill the teams.

6. Force you to write daily reports of activities when everybody else is on weekly/monthly/quarterly/... basis.

7. But also repeat to them that they're not working sufficiently. Make it clear to them that it's their fault.

etc.
My initial though. Is there a proxy that also serves? Maybe a squid addon? This would be awesome. I hope to see something like the way back machine but local for all the things I ever surfed.
It depends on use case. If you cannot take that then agree to disagree and discussion is no longer warranted. I've been on both sides and take my experiences with me.

You can assert anti pattern, but knowing how to structure your tables matter. SQL has BLOB, BINARY, VARBINARY choose the proper type depending on trade off. Models that include blobs can be structured in DB to avoid IO issues (indexed data includes id). Go to S3 with the id. How does what you are saying differ? My first post literally says this.

Not only can be structured to avoid IO issues, but are protected via a cache where the unindexed data is exploded.

Of course with high QPS I want to offload CPU cycles away from the DB. Scaling the app is easier than a DB.

Scratching my head here. Are you arguing for just use only SQL? Why would I do that.

I agree (at least as far as function/block local variables are concerned), except that I'd probably just name it w.

That said, dmw is fine if the function needs to deal with more than one type of window.
