I use over years CMake (now supports also C#, but you can use a bare Makefile to copy the required files and execute Wix commands) and Wix to create MSI installers automatically.

Wix is IMHO the best option, if you want to create Windows-native experience. MSI installer format is the best one, especially in enterprise deployment, including AD networks.
Additionally, signing the installers gives you additional value.
I thought that line was amusing. I wouldn’t read it too literally.
I think we should read about blockchains and understand it first. Then only we can actually decide whether it can actually be helpful for a particular problem.

A general rule of thumb is: Don't use blockchain if a database maintained by a single organization (person / company / government ) is sufficient.
If multiple people interact, or multiple organizations interact and together want to maintain some data where they all collaborate and take decisions on how the data is changed then only we need blockchain.

So when I think about it, wiki can definitely be helped by blockchains.
The HS2 company forced my friend to sell his house (well the government did but still), they paid him a massive fee for it, the legal fees were astronomical and when asked about it they said they didn't care because the tax payer was ultimately picking up the bill so the lawyers were just adding stuff to the bill and dragging their heels.

I'm sure this is happening all over the place...

At the risk of sounding like a contrarian, I think HS2 should go ahead now. I was against it years ago, but times have changed since the idea was floated.

The amount of track has gone down as rail travel has gone up. Passenger numbers are even higher than predicted when HS2 was proposed. We are at capacity.

Double decker trains like abroad are too wide for the tracks. Longer trains would also require major works at stations.

I don't think saving 20 minutes off the journey matters either, but I also don't think that is the main benefit of the project.

How much of a plane ticket is the fuel cost? For example, New York to Paris.
Nobody who says we can get 'improved rail' for the cost of HS2 had ever explained how we get that in the vicinity of London without something which looks extremely similar to HS2. We have solid proposals for 'improving rail' from the rail industry, and HS2 is the bedrock of it all. Where's the silver bullet hiding?
I think a factor in this is that NoSql databases have nice API's that programmers can use to setup tables, do simple queries etc, which makes it much easier to get started.
For RDBMS's you have to muck around with connections and SQL, which is more powerful but requires much more ceremony. (Connection pooling, prepared statements etc)

The lack of understanding of the relational model is not the limiting factor in my experience, the developer experience is just much worse.
No. "Multiple entities interact" may be a necessary condition for using a blockchain, but it's certainly far from a sufficient condition.

Which research area? Some are going to be easier than others depending on the resources, theoretical background required, community access you need, competition etc.

I would look up papers in the field that are in the niche you want to write about and consider if it's realistic you could write something of similar quality. Writing well (which might include writing rigorous proofs), knowing about related work and putting your work in the context of past research is essential to getting published.

Also, why do you want to publish papers? Why top conferences? Why not write an article about your work or release it as software? There's other ways to let people know about any new ground you've broken.

The literal brandlessness of Brandless is and always was a complete red herring.

People are making apt comparisons to AmazonBasics, grocery in-house brands -- apt because these are all brands. People choose those goods for a variety of reasons including the reputation of those brands.

With a modestly trained eye, people can spot the difference between a logo-free Old Navy white t-shirt and a Gap one (not to mentiono a Hanes t-shirt.) The lack of a logo doesn't make something without brand.

This dynamic may have been lost on entrepreneurs more concerned with VC decks and tech stacks.
Tangent: I hate this trend of following titles like that.

To my mind SRE != Sysadmin; SRE is a principle of tackling "Sysadmin" as if there were no sysadmins- engaging software solutions and engineering to track recurrent problems with a top-down approach, often with little understanding of high-availability in hardware or OS design.

Sysadmin is historically a role of automation and reliability, but working from the bottom up. I (and others) make sure operating systems are not exhausted and that the hardware can support various reliability metrics.

Personally, I think these roles are complementary because an auto-healing system that has a stable platform is going to be more reliable than something that is very over-engineered to deal with hardware faults as a common occurrence.

I don't think title inflation is necessary.

Don't get me started on "DevOps" engineers. It's either rebranded sysadmins doing the same thing but maybe with some CI/CD. Or Developers who have been thrown to the wolves. Hardly anyone is actually using the "there are no fullstack people, only full-stack teams" mantra.
That can be achievable with designers that actually know their way around HTML and CSS.

Ask HN: Most in demand front-end and back-end (language/framework)?
I just had an interview at Brilliant.org, and while I had good problem-solving experience according to them, I apparently did not have enough front-end experience. I'm tired of hearing things like this. I'm going to start something up on my own.

However, I do want the skills I'm training for to be as transferable as possible. Since there's a big chance whatever I do won't be successful. which is why I'd want relevant experience. I never ever want to hear the dreaded "you're amazing but don't have enough experience" ever again.

So what is the most in demand front-end technologies and back-end technologies?

I thought for front-end it's ReactJS (which I do have some experience in), but I might be wrong. And I have no clue what it might be for backend. Is it RoR, or Django, or Node/Express, or ASP.Net, or Spring Boot?

Does anyone have some ideas?

Agreed. The sufficient condition is you cannot blindly trust all those entities.
You're talking a lot about implementation, when you compare 2 languages. In principle - it's worth inventing a new language when you can express some common patterns clearer/ more naturally. Otherwise - just make a query engine that's very performant for a subset of SQL (SELECT + following foreign-key link), and outright reject all other kinds of SQL.

Having worked in discrete math and theoretical computer science myself, I agree with you especially when it comes to less well known / niche statements. Results that many other people build on tend to be solid though, because building on those results often requires the users to at least partially "reprove" them.
This is because Front-end web developement has been taken over by back-end developers.

Few developers complained about JavaScript until Back-end developers became 'Fullstack' and had to start working with it and tried to apply the same mental model they had used with Java or Python etc.

CSS was always something you had to dedicate time to, to master and learn the quirks of the current and past browsers, until Back-end developers decided it was 'terrible' and a race to the bottom of CSS frameworks was created and nobody remembered proper selection or specicifity as BEM was adopted.

HTML was a tool for layout which developers made good choices for thoughtful semantic code, so that it was easily readable, for both man and machine, yet it was a manual process. Then Back-end developers didn't have the time to learn something new and everything is a div and if you're lucky it will have a role.

Guys you are all going down some block chain tangent. The point is that a relational database is designed for storing data, and that works well. The moral of Jimmy's response was if you need to store and retrieve data a relational database is the tool to do that.
That's still far from sufficient.

Existing businesses have coped with that for hundreds of years.

You can have joint-ventures, where all participants send emissaries to, you can negotiate rights to view the books or other ways to create transparency. You can have contracts, backed by a legal system and state courts.

You can do many things. Blockchains are only one of those possibilities.

A bit offtopic, but I'm constantly annoyed by applications using 'x' and 'z' for related operations like zoom in and out in this case.

The reason is, German keyboards use the QWERTZ layout and as you can tell from the name, the 'z' key is in the upper row, right in the middle.

Maybe use 'w' and 's' instead? That's the default in first-person-type games. Actually, never mind, that doesn't work for the French who have AZERTY...

I think you are describing something close to the Dataset API in Spark. Spark is built on the RDD, a novel data structure that creates transparent concurrency and distribution. Additionally, you can access the same data with 4 APIs, one of which is SQL, and another which is a typed functional API.

I've had 40 years to observe and think about why this is all happening.

What I think happens: new blood enters the industry, ignores the accrued wisdom of the elder old blood, re-invents things, regurgitates, recycle (every time someone makes money with it), and then .. becomes the old blood.

Like, there seriously is some sort of industry-bound amnesia affect at 3 and 4 orders of scale, in my opinion.

There are those who read the docs, and write new ones/edit old ones. There are those who don't read the docs, but write new ones only. There are also those who read the docs, and don't write anything new, too. Then, there are those who don't read the docs and don't write new docs, either.

Alas, all these are tied up in a universal struggle to gain dominance over each other, and its called the technology startup battle.

>>>"While some of my city dwelling friends in their twenties might find it amusing to shop at Costco"

I live out on the rural outskirts of a central European city, into which I regularly commute for work and life.

I'm often very amused at the city-dweller point of view. These are people who live surrounded, in geographically aligned order, by about 1,000 other people, on average, within a block. They're stacked on top of each other, a literal hive. Public transportation is superlative, but the city was made for horses, something that hasn't changed much.

The effort required to walk down the block to a Billa or Aldi is often far, far too great for these denizens. Actually, as a whole, city-slickers require far too much motivation to escape the zone of their immediate comfort level. It gets so cozy.

Out in the sticks, nothing at all is thought of a 20 minute walk to pick up a jar of honey, a bottle of milk or a bale of apples. Alas, city-slickers take so much prodding to get out of their city these days.

But, in the sticks, we do have a Costco equivalent. I can honestly say that I use it quite a bit to keep the house stocked with necessities. I often see business-owners from the city shopping there, though .. ;)
I don't know about that. React was the cool thing 5 years ago, and 5 years later it's still the cool thing judging by how many jobs are out there for React and React Native developers.
Not strong enough. Remember: Microsoft hearts linux.
From what I see in my network, the most frequent combinations are:

- React or Vue on the front (in that order)

- Node, Python, RoR, ASPNET-MVC or Laravel on the back (in that order)
Really interesting article, but it does treat Go and Rust dependency cultures as equivalent. Whereas there is a strong preference in Go culture to use as few dependencies as possible, and preferably only use the standard library. A Go project using "2-300 dependencies" (cited in TFA as normal for a Rust project) is incredibly unusual, and would be a cause for concern.

There are regular posts in r/golang from new Go devs asking what frameworks to use, where to find the list of packages needed to do anything, etc. The answers are always "just use the standard library".

This is often portrayed as a result of Go's historically relatively poor package management. But I'd argue it's the other way around. Go's culture of avoiding dependencies meant that package management wasn't as big a requirement as it is in other languages.

It'll be interesting to see if the average number of dependencies in a Go project increases now that the package management system is more standardised and powerful.
I've been using Ubuntu as my daily driver (development and web browsing) for 2 years on a Dell XPS Laptop. I have not run into any critical issues. It's been pretty stable, and "just works", and has regular updates. And running docker is pretty easy.

I think you have less issues with linux if you pick the right hardware. Dell XPS laptops and thinkpad laptops I think have the best reputation for being stable at running linux.

I dual boot my laptop with windows 10. Last time I booted into Windows, my CPU, RAM, and Network were all maxed out (probably some update, & virus checking crap). I couldn't even use the computer. I don't think I can ever go back to windows for daily use. I use a separate windows laptop for gaming.
Nix can run on WSL though. So it indirectly runs on Windows just like Docker run on Windows...

Rust isn't going to replace Python because it isn't an interactive language that can be used for adhoc analysis, but it will be used to write the libraries that python imports when the existing ones are no longer sufficient for people's needs.

Python isn't criticized as much as it is recognized as the lesser tool for certain categories of development. That's fine because it is a general purpose language with many great uses.

You can say that git reduces to a Merkle tree. And blockchains use Merkle trees.
