Ask HN: What's the baseline for cloud tech knowledge in modern web dev jobs?
In most of my career, I've taught myself many programming concepts and different languages based on what I started out with. I'm comfortable with design patterns, many algorithms, certain monolithic applications, and know enough about databases to get a local app up and running fast. I've used a variety of languages and frameworks including JavaScript, Vue, React, PHP, and Ruby on Rails.

I am not so familiar the modern deploy and automate side of things. I cannot tell you, for instance, how to leverage AWS to optimize a website I made, once it goes online. However, more and more jobs are requiring it, so I must learn to stay on point. But I don't know what is "enough" for a good starting point with talking about it at web dev job interviews.

From 2008-2013 the deployment workflow at my jobs was similar: Setup DNS and databases with your hosting service, upload website files directly via FTP, and migrate database. Following that time, I rarely did any of that and almost all of my work has been in local machine space. If I needed to upload code to a source code repository, I use Git. If I wanted to demo a side project online, I use Heroku.

It's a big ocean to start Googling for tutorials for things like AWS, Azure, data stores and the like. What are some good starting points? Or books to read (I prefer free ones)? In a post-cloud, post-Kubernetes world, what is the minimum standard for entry in web dev jobs?

The company i work for is not big or consumer-facing, so this is not an answer to your question.

But we do have a dynamic that i find interesting. The company is organised into many small business units - some very small, fewer than ten people. Each is accountable for its own profit and loss. They hire their own programmers to build the actual line-of-business software they need. But there are also internal tools and systems, shared across units or used by their developers, that are built by programmers hired directly by the top level of the company - their reporting line goes straight up to the CIO and CEO, rather than to a business unit manager. So, in a way, our company does the exact opposite of deprioritizing internal tools and systems! The programmers who develop the internal tools and systems are the elite!
Firecracker also doesn't have this sort of complex device emulation such as VGA, only minimal virtio devices.
I'd say Trump is objectively in the wrong about many issues, including Covid-19. He is - objectively - lying all the time.

Then he is on the minority side of major political issues, like abortion, health insurance, immigration, corruption and so on. He is also working with the GOP to decrease voter participation, which should be hard to defend for any "non-partisan" who is interested in democracy.

On the basis of these facts, to have your extreme view on "everything is partisan", even reality itself is partisan now. Even calling the president out on his lies, even if there is video footage of him contradicting himself is still partisan. Because the only non-partisan view would be "Trump is as good as Hillary might have been". As if Trump hadn't been proven to commit at least a dozen different crimes between his campaign and his presidential term...
FireWire predates the Game Boy by three years.
Given that they probably would cost $1 to $5, and take almost no space to store, it wouldn't be a terrible thing for people to have a few if they want them. How many people have a $20 multi-tool that stays in a drawer somewhere? Or some bags of rice "just in case" that end up getting thrown in the trash after being forgotten about in the cabinet for 5 years?

It may not be a terrible thing if some percentage of people buy "unnecessary" Personal Protective Equipment. It creates some distributed supply in case something unexpected happens, even if under normal circumstances the equipment is unused.
Great question! We've built our model so that for every full price paying student, we can admit a need-based financial aid student.

If I'm going to need to type anyway, I'd rather do that with the keyboard than the mouse: Ctrl-L End /xyz or Ctrl-L Right /xyz feels much faster to me than "move mouse to end of address bar, click, /xyz".

(I absolutely understand that relearning/retaining muscle memory takes time and feels frustrating, though.)
Sounds like a solution only an econ could think up of, which doesn't take into consideration other external factors that would apply specifically to the person holding the property, such as:
- human psychology (loss aversion, endowment effect, mental anxiety due to risk of being forced to sell your property)
- switching costs (monetary, mental, time spent searching for alternatives, costs to moving to something else)
- replacement costs (transaction costs, etc)

But it's useful! If your search domain is `internal.company.com` and you've got a Jira instance at `jira.internal.company.com` then all you've got to do is navigate to `jira` and it works.

It's also quite possible to turn off walking up the search domain: it's just a checkbox.

None of which makes it a good idea, and the best thing to do is actually to just _not set_ the search domain.
I think it would be a good rule that whenever somebody requests a report about a person that information needs to be available to the person too. Whenever somebody gets a credit report about, you get a copy. Same for background reports, credit reports and stuff like this.
Ah, am sure that app wasn’t built in minutes :-)

Keeping in mind you are 45 strong company setup, is your shop seriously getting onboard with this?

And sell own apps within SAP customer base using these APIs?

Building your stuff is one piece.
Really, to sell it within SAP customer base, is battle in itself. Unless you are Accenture, Capgemini, IBM etc.

So even if Graph makes some improvement on technology front, why would a smaller scale shop be willing to build anything if they can’t tap easily into that customer base.
And this is what people talk about when they mention the dangers of blindly trusting technology. It bakes in inequality, and no one is to blame, because it's such a complicated piece of software/hardware/code/whatever you want to blame.

Hello, as you may or may not be aware, there is a global pandemic occurring. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pa...

One notable problem during the pandemic is the shortage of personal protective equipment -- sometimes called PPE. This equipment is critical for people to prevent getting infected and infecting others. Organizations with large manufacturing capacities, such as Apple, are looking to help by leveraging their supply chains, manufacturing base, and other talents, by manufacturing PPE for medical workers or even for normal people like you!

I just sent 200MiB of zeros over my wireguard connection to my VPS and my transmit counter on my wifi card went up by 238MB. Vs sending 1024MiB over just wifi to my Pi where the transmit counter went up by 1.04GiB.
I've always found this to be a strange argument. You have that layer of indirection from the transpiler (which may mean very difficult integrations with JS tools), and it isn't always trivial to interact with actual Javascript.
But in Southern states the common thinking is that this is something that just happens to someone else.

If one is in a rural environment, this view is understandable. Not seeing one's neighbors (outside of now cancelled gatherings) may well be the norm.

It's just the flu. What's horrific about that is that even if New York, for example, succeeds, it could come back anyway because of these folks.

If there is an unlucky mutation and a 2nd go around, the likelihood of that is driven by population. It's the population centers like New York which would most likely produce this.

They'll know it's denial when reality kills them in the middle of their opinion-touting.

That's often how a free society works. People are free to make decisions, good and bad, and others can then learn from their mistakes. We must be willing to convince, not coerce, when we can.
How does Rust prevent you from choosing the wrong size for an integer? It's easy to imagine a bug in Rust code in which someone is supposed to write "u8" as in this case, but didn't think carefully and just used "usize" (the most typical integer type used for indices).

No need to listen to what the WHO says anymore, say people everywhere after review. Isn't the whole problem that if you're asymptomatic, you don't know if you're healthy? If reducing the credibility of national and international organizations of health is the goal, then our institutions have done an outstanding job. The question is, in the vacuum of trustworthy government institutions, what can we do as communities and individuals to replace them?
I’m not even sure Smith was a capitalist in the modern sense. He held out similar derision for the merchant class, although the exact quote escapes me.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that we're assembling our own copy of China's social credit system, except it's privately-owned (and apparently YC-funded). I don't see that as an improvement in any way.
> The question is, is the complexity of our lives all necessary, or is most of it incidental?

So this is a separate question entirely. And it's not a bad question -- why is there so little true scarcity of necessities but so much scarcity of time? There is actually quite a lot of artificial scarcity keeping everybody running on a treadmill. Like, how many hours are you working just to pay for the increase in housing costs caused by restrictive zoning rules? How many hours are you working just to pay off student loans from artificially inflated college tuition costs?

It's quite important that we address these things but it's kind of a different problem domain than consumer router security.

> And regardless, the point is: existence of this complexity makes the market mechanisms of ranking of products and services quite weak.

I would think it would be the opposite. If people have lots of free time and resources to read specifications and understand the inner workings of what they're buying then you don't need to pay someone to do it for you because you can do it yourself. It's when everybody is busy that someone trustworthy can make money by selling or identifying products of a given minimum quality, because people find their time more scarce than money and are willing to pay somebody so they don't have to do it themselves.

But in that case you would tend to have more dissatisfaction and buyer's remorse, because general purpose recommendations and minimum quality standards don't yield as good a result as you making an informed choice yourself. "One size fits all" is never really as good as choosing the right size for you. But government regulations can't fix that any better than consumer product ratings because they have the same problem -- a minimum standard still doesn't help you choose between a zillion different products that all meet the minimum standard, even though some of them are significantly better in your specific circumstances. The best product for some people may even be one which is below the so-called minimum standards, because they have atypical requirements.

Which I guess brings us back to your original point. Maybe we should do something about everybody being completely swamped for time.
In addition to the other comments, they have an incentive to help get things back to normal so that they can open their stores and start making money again.
No, that's not what lost Clinton the election.

Calling much of the country "a basket of deplorables". Years of scandals (yes, Trump had them, too, but Clinton's were more public). The definite impression that she thought she was entitled to the presidency. The campaign she ran, where she just assumed that she would win certain states. The way she assumed that she would have the blue-collar vote, and therefore didn't have to do anything to earn it. Those things cost her the election.
Or to be even more generic, never mix a cleaning/disinfecting product with anything else.

Message-ID, In-Reply-To, and References are the standard way of doing this for anything using a .eml-like format (this includes both email and Usenet).

Message-IDs are supposed to be unique according to the specification. In practice, you can get non-uniqueness if a message is reinjected into the mail system (say you send a message to a mailing list: both the original message you wrote, and the slightly-rewritten message sent out will use the same Message-ID). It works well enough that the way every mail client actually groups messages into threads... is to use these headers.

So not only is there already an email spec, everybody already supports that spec.
So creepy. It’s bad enough that Facebook has a permanent log of my messages with every girl I’ve been in a relationship with over the past ten years, with no way to delete it. Now they want me to bucket those chats into an even more specific product? Gross, no thanks.

How about they invest that money in production instead of stock buybacks ?

Here's what Matt Stoller has to say about buybacks and bailouts in general:

Fundamentally, mergers, buybacks, and excessive executive compensation are about stripping out resiliency in return for cash, and the lobbying is the political machine to protect the ability to do that. So what to do? The answer is pretty simple. Stop hidden risk pooling.

Financialization and private equity is about loading up corporations with hidden risk. We cannot afford that anymore. So here are the conditions to put on large corporations who need cash from the government:

-No bailouts for shareholders. Shareholders took the risk and upside, they should get the downside too. A bailout means the stock value goes to zero.

-No more buybacks ever, and no more dividends for five years. It’s time to stop asset-stripping, and restore the cushion inside corporations so they can invest in production.

-Strict executive compensation limits. No more get rich quick schemes and golden parachutes. We need long-term leaders focused on building institutional strength.

-No more lobbying, as well as limit public relations spending. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 killed the ability of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to lobby, and that killed their political power. By contrast, Wall Street got bailouts with no strings attached, so they largely wrote the Dodd-Frank bill. (I was there, I saw it). Don’t repeat this.

-No more mergers and acquisitions for five years. If you get bailouts, you have to run your business as a business, not as an acquisition target. I can imagine an exception if the business fails as a stand-alone, but exceptions need to be very narrow.

No. The only part of Googles API we considered was reverse geocoding. The train data was always ours.
These are really the basics of database design. I would argue that you should do these until you know when you shouldn't. That is, you should normalize to this level until you learn when and why to denormalize some things for performance, if that's ever even needed. I think it means "humble" as in not trying to teach anything complex or revolutionary.
That's interesting. Part of why we started supporting IE is because some of our most important users somehow ended up on our website in IE, despite not normally using IE. Wonder if this is the only reason why.
this isn't a mask replacement, this is a shield to protect from larger aspirated drops when giving an infected individual medical care. It's worn over a mask.
This is for the eyes. You still need a mask.
>would you say that banks as a rule are completely worthless?

OP didn't talk about banks, and I'm not sure the comparison is even valid.

As for your second paragraph. This is a possibility. Why don't we do this? That seems like a good business opportunity. Someone to organize the coop, provide startup investment, and receive a fee for x# of years afterward. Like a mortgage, but for coops, requiring coop rules and regulations for everyone involved. That seems interesting.
Can you sterilize a 3D print easily? The major downside to 3D prints is all the voids and pinholes the process creates, aside from material compatibility issues with sterilizers.

This design is entirely die cut, which is incredibly fast. A machine could probably stamp out 10 of these in the time it takes to print one layer in a typical FDM printer.
It would prevent the out-of-bounds read and write, presumably.

It is a bit of a hypothetical scenario. The assumption is that the router is already capable of multicast routing in the first place (e.g. whatever ISPs are using to forward their IPTV) and have some spare capacity for future growth in those multicast routing tables that could be used to enable best-effort forwarding.

On the one hand, they're a real estate company masquerading as a tech company (and getting the funding and valuation unicorns would hope for), and with Coronavirus they have a serious cashflow problem.

From my observations, top posting sometimes gives misguided sense of security, particularly when they are not seeing the whole picture of how E-mail works.

I've seen couple of people in the past with habit of keeping just the most recent message, because they think the "history is all there" and want declutter their inbox.

It's a bad practice, but they just couldn't see the possibility someone changing the history. They had hard time when someone decided to prune the old portions, or reply inline without leaving the whole text intact.
Show HN: Node++ – extreme speed web application backend
Hello everyone,

I'd like to propose a compiled, self-contained web application approach, which presents two advantages over the popular, VM's one:

* speed -- even with database queries it renders response within microseconds;

* energy efficiency -> free or almost free hosting -> planet-friendliness.

As a proof, this is one of my live applications, Budgeter:

https://budgeter.org

The engine -- for now called Silgy -- will be renamed to Node++.

https://github.com/silgy/silgy

As the name suggests, it's C/C++ backend framework. However, I'd like to include some coding rules, as a part of the framework, that would prevent overcomplicating projects by using exotic C++ inventions that scare less experienced programmers. Being as old as I am, I can see that without a cap on language usage, projects' expenses are being blown up by introducing unnecessary complexities. I imagine a situation in which a job ad, instead of containing a stack of 10 different technologies, would simply contain "Node++".

All of my Silgy apps so far would easily be translated to Java or JS, language-wise (I ignore libraries issue here).

Live demo, as well as code generators, is also available on https://silgy.org.

Node++ will be forked from Silgy, however, after gaining some experience from about a dozen of real-life applications, there will be some API breaks to move it to higher standard.

All comments and (hopefully) contributors are welcome.

Kind Regards
Jurek

Eh, he identified something of value early on before anyone else did. This is literally how the stock market works. Let's re-phrase:

"Ugh, I can't believe he made money by acquiring a large pile of Apple stock for $1 each back in the 90's, squatting on it, then slowly selling it at extortionate (read: market) prices a few decades later. He's done this many times before and already retired because of these payouts. I'm not happy to hear he got a single cent."
