As a webdev, that is actually the beauty of the web, you get to solve / create / build in all these ways. Neither are wrong.

Another point I really like is that I can view a webpage from the 90’s and it will look fine (maybe not great)

And there are frameworks, platforms and plugins which allow you to do what you described without little coding. You can go up and down on the stack, switch stacks and still get to the same end result.

What’s funny is that I find this much easier to do in the large than in the small.

"it turned out that it fared a lot better going through the gauntlet of code analysis tools I hit it with than a lot of more modern code. There is something to be said for straightforward C code. Bugs were found and fixed, but generally in paths that weren't enabled or hit."

24 dedicated dual Xeon boxes can easily be comparable to 100 to 200 m5.2xlarge EC2 instances. So it's relatively small but not tiny, you're going to be paying at least 25k / month for that (inc reserved instance discounts)

So if you use a lot of bandwidth on top of it (can be another 25-50k at AWS) this could reach into to levels where it's worth it to hire two devops guys to run your own in combination with some SLA/management agreements with a colo.
Ok, I don't know about any reddit details, but I just opened reddit.com without a adblocker and took a look in the network tab in the dev tools.

I mean, I don't see a plain facebook connection, but I see googleads and amazon connection and don't know what else obscure things. I doubt it would be hard to sneak something in, that just checks whether this is the same browser where you just switched over from the facebook tab (where the onblur event just got captured). But again, I am not an expert in tracking ads, nor reddit, I just know the web and its various data transmitting technices quite good.

Ah, right. Your wording of "Exact opposite maybe" made me think you were suggesting that.

I agree that what engineers _should_ be is different from engineers _actually_ are, and that today you see how software is definitely enabling authoritarian rule. I wish it wasn't so, and I guess that's what OP wanted to communicate.
Hah bam files are the pinnacle of engineering compared to the clusterfuck that is VCF: GT or PL? Ploidy? Enumerating all possible ALTs but some with 0 AF? And then you have mutations in cis, try to merge them. Which assembly - you can guess because it doesn't have to be specified. You also don't have to specify your transcripts and of course you have better defaults than everyone else. How many different formats for annotating mutation effects are there 10? 20?

In general, Heroku has been a great platform. The fact that you can just `git push`, and your dyno rebuilds and restarts and your changes are live is so cool.
A lot of Europeans, too. Usually when I have a lot of guests I'll tell them they can leave the shoes on. I'll just wash the carpets afterwards and clean the house anyway.

If it's only a few friends I usually ask them to take their shoes off.

But I know many people who always wear shoes inside. I think it's also due to the cold. In Northern Europe you don't want to walk around barefoot, so keeping on the shoes is comfortable.

"Life is unfair." Simple, but for me it was an important insight. I used to think I deserved things, and now I know that while that might be true, you still need to be assertive to get them. There is no karma or divine intervention which will put a finger on the balance to make sure everything in life (love, friends, opportunities, adventure) is shared equally. And it goes multiple ways.

First, don't expect life to be fair and give you what you deserve. It won't. Don't expect other people to be fair towards you either. They might, and they might not.

Second, it is not always your fault when you are in a bad situation, because life is in fact unfair. Shit happens.

Third, be assertive to handle the unfairness. You need to stand up for yourself to get your fair share. And stand up for others to get theirs.

> So, I forgive myself but still cringe hard whenever I remember it.

This has actually resonated with me as advice in its own right. I have wasted a lot of time worrying about past mistakes that I have made, wishing I could change the past etc. I'm not so bad for it now, but still struggle sometimes and worry myself with what people think of me now remembering what drunk (and sober) me did at university 10 years ago (and at other times in my life). This line has helped reframe it a bit in my mind: it's ok to still cringe at how I behaved and forgive myself for it - the former does not rule out the latter.
In some industries, cloud is not an option. For example, certain privacy laws like HIPAA preclude uploading data to third parties, in which case, you need things to be on-prem. There are also a lot of places in the world where internet access is limited. Sometimes you need to solve problems beyond the simple "web saas in cloud" use case
They mention as much in the article:

The researchers used superfluid helium, which has several unique properties. For example, it remains in a liquid form at temperatures down to absolute zero, when any other liquid would freeze, and behaves like fluid with zero viscosity, or no resistance.

They use that liquid helium to create a no resistance T-junction circuit.

But that circuit did not obey Ohms law, because while the elections had two zero resistance paths through the T-junction, they only used one of those two paths.

Then when they sent the elections down the stem of the T-junction the electrons behaved as expected, using both the available paths.
I don't want to stop for half an hour every 200 miles.

You might be able to do a gas stop in 5 minutes. I'm willing to bet that you can't do a gas stop and pee in that time. Two hundred miles is probably 3 hours of driving, so I am also willing to bet you want at least a coffee. Add five minutes (or more if you have to move your car). If you add in a snack, your total time will probably be around half an hour. A meal, make it an hour.
“I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.”
Correct. In case it was unclear, I didn't mean to imply that I'm "cured", only that I've never had an outbreak since then.
Their early drum pads were created and assembled by themselves using knitting needles and circuit bending, though.
Along the same lines: Just because someone doesn't know something, doesn't mean they know nothing.

We all come across information in different orders at different times. If you jump to the conclusion that someone is not worth your time because they didn't know something you know, then you might not engage with an otherwise good person.
Integration software – Mulesoft case studies
I am possessed by a sudden urge, indeed a veritable compulsion to wallop the scribe of this pretentious piece of faux journalism upside his mandible.
You're not building everything from scratch on-prem.
There are excellent tools for deploying and managing infrastructure like Terraform, Ansible, Puppet that funny enough are used to deploy to cloud as well.
Add a self-hosted Kubernetes cluster to that and your on-prem is not that different than a cloud.

As for ops people - you might not need an engineer to replace failed hard-drives, but you'll need a DevOps person to manage Cloud Formation templates and such, and they cost more.
Like many said, cost.

But also - legalities. Most cloud providers have very unclear rules and what exactly happen should you be in breach. For this reason, our business prefers to have most of the control.
"I have approximate knowledge of many things" - is my favorite quote ever, because it accurately describes my job role as a systems integration engineer.

So when my role says electrical and I teach people about cooling, hydraulics, human factors and user experience, some people raise questions and I generally debuff with a paraphrase of this line.

S3 is immediately consistent for new objects unless the service received a GET on the object before it was created. It's easy to use this to make an immediately consistent system.
Your last paragraph reminds me of this research on more advertising leading to less contentedness: https://hbr.org/2020/01/advertising-makes-us-unhappy

Showing us what we don't have makes us question and think less of ourselves. It's the same mechanism that can lead to lower mood after seeing everyone's carefully curated lives on social media. Everyone around me is happy all the time, why aren't I?

Once you're concious of that bias, it becomes a bit easier to weather, but also uncomfortable in a different way. Personally, we want to share pics of our baby smiling with our friends, but will that make them feel worse when their baby cries for hours? We've been sharing experiences more openly with new parent friends so they understand it's not all rainbows all the time, and have been grateful for others who have done the same to us and reassured us that everyone's taking the bad with the good.
> How do you "block off to the public" something committed to a public GitHub repository? The OP specifically said this was for public repositories.

Pretty simple actually. If your AWS services are internal only, then you may not be in a rush to change keys to a service that isn't exposed.

Top Journals for Devops to Read in 2020
I guess you're right. That this is the expected workflow. The way the UI by default dumps Prereleases and Releases together (with very small faint font to distinguish them) in the same tab called "Releases" is an issue so I sorta understand why you feel it'd be confusing. The UI is no good, but this is not an insurmountable problem

It's true you can have a latest artifact.. I will try using that - but I can't email a colleague and tell him/her to download an artifact. There is no "latest build action artifact" page and there is so much extraneous information that if they've never used github you'd need to attach an explanation of where to click.

I didn't feel my use-case was particularly unusual, but I guess it's doesn't fit Github's model.

Yes, this should have been solved by the web, but you can't push notifications to it or rely on local storage (thanks to Apple). Also, generally people' don't even want to know what an URL is.
An idea I've had is to put a small generator instead of a shaft and gearbox, and put the AC motor powered fan somewhere else. Could improve aerodynamics, stealth properties etc.
The cloud providers' main advantage when you're unicorn scale is their engineering team acts as an extension of yours. We regularly hop on calls with AWS to scope out features for them to build for us. Our parent org can pretty much snap their fingers and Google will dispatch their engineers to fix/build whatever they wanted.

That and very preferential pricing.
Ask HN: Where to Host Dedicated Servers?
Related to the discussion on sticking with on-premise servers (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23089999) - I want to know HNers' opinions on companies that will provide dedicated servers.

Do people have recommendations for services they've used? Principally interested in reliability, quality of support, etc..

I'm looking for use in our business though experiences with personal projects would probably be useful too.

Layman question:

assuming one day RSA gets actually broken and a quantum computer or a new algorithm can factorize prime numbers fast: would there be any alternatives avaiable for public/private key encryption?

Or would the solution be, to use just a lot bigger prime numbers calculated also with a quantum computer? That sounds not too promising.
I love these kinds of retrospectives as they give insight into the learning process. We tend to focus on the acquisition of specialized knowledge but there is often a body of shared knowledge, the context you might call it, that we pick up indirectly.

You have to read between the lines but what we have in this post is a Data Scientist skilled in the Python programming language struggling to acquire the shared knowledge required to build and deploy Web Apps. One toolchain (Python), one framework (Django), one backend architecture (12-Factor Apps) but the narrative surrounding URLs, HTTP, DNS, TLS, REST APIs, JSON, CORS, and www-forms is missing.

We seem to be missing a simple way to learn the shared knowledge needed to build apps in a world reshaped by Web, Mobile, and Cloud technologies.

Long-form article in NYTimes in July of last year.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/02/magazine/dead-pig-brains-...
As I read the original post, Javascript the language isn’t the major problem. It’s things like configuration, certificates and (lack of) inter-operability of frameworks. I agree that this stuff is difficult in web development and I think it’s largely accidental complexity.

(That is, the web is a distributed system and distributed programming is hard, sure. But the configuration hell you often run into is separate from that.)
Cloud costs way way more compared to on-prem solution for my company.

We need random access to about 50TB of files, and quite a decent number of VMs.

For storage on-perm vs cloud: buy was cheaper to have after 3(!) months.

For VMs(some of them could be containerized though): 1 year

It was cheaper to buy second-hand decent server, slap SSDs and just install a decent hypervisor. Those costs also include: server room, power usage, admins etc.

We do use cloud backups for the most important stuff.

Cloud is cheaper if your business is a something that is user-based - as in you might need to scale it, hard.

If you aren't doing anything like that it is absurdly expensive.

I think a tabular model is probably a good idea
I think this sets a bad example. In many fields the current standard is that code isn't published at all. If bad coding practices will cause you to get bullied into retracting your paper, that's just another argument for why people won't publish their code. Of course if somebody does find a big that invalidates the results of the paper given the stated assumptions, that's another matter, but that doesn't seem to be what's alleged here.

There is an intersting development here in Sweden is that some beekeepers don't use the box-type hives anymore and instead opts for a "log"-hive, basically an elongated coffin on legs ment to simulate a hollow log. These don't use frames, only thin wooden strips on ledges near the lid, nor do they have any type of seperation of nursery combs from honey combs. Honey production is lower and harvesting is much harder so this style of beekeeping tends to be more hands off. Instead the primary function is using bees as polinators. This can be a great way to start beekeeping with very little investment.

Even easier, and maybe more inpactfull, is to bury small clay pots upside down in your garden with the little hole in the bottom (now top, since the pot is upside down) exposed. If you are lucky bumblebees will move in. There are even colony building bumblebees where I live. Bumblebees are superior polinators as they are more resilient to cold and rain. Where I live the (italian) honeybees stay inside the hive if there is even a chance of rain, while the bumblebees will go out in any weather.

> China is working on a permanent orbiting station after being excluded from the International Space Station, largely because of U.S. objections.

This is such bullshit Chinese propaganda. I worked at NASA when China joined the human-spaceflight club. They never asked to join the ISS program. We inquired, unofficially, what sort of participation they might want to have if the ISS treaty were renegotiated. They blew it off.

Webdev tool makers are sadists, and many of the 'thought leaders' in the field have Stockholm syndrome.

Some aspects of web development certainly are hard (security especially).

Frontend development however, does not need to be as hard as it currently is. At the very least, I think there's an opportunity to simplify that layer of the stack, and give the control back to design professionals.

Dreamweaver to my mind, represented a more productive direction than React currently does.
Yes, for me it was also an epiphany that people weren't professional, they _acted_ professional. Suddenly a lot made sense! Careerwise, it can help to ask what a professional would do, as it is a solution that while it might not work, you will be commended for. And guess what, that behaviour is what makes you a professional!
