Fielding had the notion that the HTTP idea of a few verbs, applied to arbitrary resources, was something to think more broadly about. Others agreed. Over time people decided that for their purposes Fielding's requirement of HATEOAS was unnecessary. I wouldn't say Fielding was wrong, but instead that others had different ideas of what was more important to them.

The key plus of REST is its extreme simplicity if it's reasonable to work within those limitations. Sure, REST has limitations. But let's compare it to SOAP, its competitor at the time. I would much rather use a REST interface than a SOAP interface in practically all cases, and many others decided the same thing.

Wirecard is a financial services provider founded in 1999. I would not conflate their troubles with marginal contributions from start-up incubators that are chasing diminishing returns in the tech sector. The latter is just a result of a normal market cycle. Clearly, plenty of multimillion and multibillion dollar companies have been founded from start-ups in the past decade or two. And clearly we're reaching a point where it's more challenging to make a hit. That's ok, that's normal. Same thing happened in the auto industry 100 years ago:

>I would argue that businesses that were founded before bankruptcy law in 1898 were far more risky than modern ventures

For the individuals themselves possibly, not for the business model, because the high risk business model of today did not exist. In your own examples Both Ford and Edison worked on their inventions as a side hustle in addition to their regular jobs. They were not professional entrepreneurs when they worked on original inventions.

In fact this is almost necessarily true for any paradigm changing invention, it happens outside the status quo. As Schumpeter pointed out, as soon as someone is drawn into a formal mode of invention they're just replicating, not jumping ahead of what came before. Every truly important invention is entirely original almost by definition.

The defining feature of entrepreneurship today is that it is like a Keynesian beauty contest. You check a few boxes and we give X dollars for Y shares and we show you "how to do" entrepreneurship.
The Hardest Part of Working at a Growth Startup
Do people use Vim as an IDE? Why? Do you like hurting yourself?
It’s amazing how often “states‘ rights” comes up historically with regard to slavery and black civil rights, but almost never in any other context. It’s almost like it was just a convenient legal tool to protect white supremacy, and once it failed they’d break the law, up to and including murder and treason to protect it.

And after the war they used it again to bring it back and protect white supremacy from then until today.

People who argue for morally contemptible positions often couch them in process arguments, which they will then argue against when turned against them — such as when northern states, for example, didn’t want to return fugitive slaves.

Don’t let people change the subject when they want to argue for the continuation of a grotesque and immoral practice because of some abstract legal principle.

If the principle of “states‘ rights“ permits slavery and segregation and apartheid, then that’s a condemnation of the concept of states’ rights. Either it needs to be formulated in such a way that it doesn’t permit atrocities to continue, or it needs to be jettisoned.
>So we would expect to see much more ‘fair and safe Labour practices’ in socialist countries where the profit motive did not exist

No, and that's not GP's claim either. It's entirely reasonable (and historically accurate) to say that socialists have consistently pushed for improved labour rights in capitalist countries. That doesn't make any comment as to their achievements (or lack of) in "socialist" countries.

> In my current Fortune 500 job, I was hired for my expertise then was moved to a new team where my expertise didn’t even matter. Every issue that came up that I had qualifications for I was passed over for a lesser skilled White man

How many times do you think this happens to white people? It’s incredibly common.

I keep a “to poach” list of developers who aren’t being given the respect, challenge, title, pay etc that they deserve and at this point it’s close to 20% of the developers Ive worked with.
I've got the same exe running in client installs since the late 90's. It's had a tweak or two here and there, but largely unchanged. I last recompiled it about 2yrs ago and had a fresh install of it about 6 months ago.

It's not the prettiest thing and could have certain upgrades in light of new security practices (eg use new encryption algos & go thru an in-depth security audit). But to the clients, it's unbeatable and there's nothing remotely close to migrate to.

Unbelievably, it's a vb6 app that I never bothered porting to dotnet. Even more unbelievably, it's a port of its predecessor, written in turbo pascal. As long as I can continue to find the dev environment installer, it's good to go.

So. I think s large part of the problem is that ppl don't redirect their dev environment enough to keep an install disk, (if one was available in the first place).

A second large problem is that modern development relies heavily on 3rd party library use, which means your software is reliant on more than one company for your binary.

So. Find an environment that you can archive/keep, and ignore the not invented here rule to a large extent
But this is silly. If this isn’t completely trivial to add to your app then something has gone horribly wrong.

* Every machine in your infra already has backups, right? Nothing about your signing boxes are special in this regard.

* All your services are already HA, right? The API servers that now have to run some glorified OpenSSL commands aren’t any different than your normal API endpoints.

* You don’t have to implement ACME. These are your devices talking to your devices.

Lol. The classic "no YOU'RE racist for pointing out race exists!"

Deny that black Americans are terrorized by cops. Pretend that people of color is a non concept all you want. It won't change reality.

I didn't want to be accused of shilling or something. I really like Rust, Kotlin, and Swift right now. But I'd never try to use Swift outside of writing iOS or macOS apps, right now. I'm very excited about Scala 3 as well. I've never used Haskell on a real project, but I'd love to try it out "for real".

I found Clojure and Elixir to both be well designed and ergonomic languages as well, but I'm really not a fan of dynamic typing.

I didn't dislike TypeScript when I used it a couple of years ago, either. Mostly I just found the whole frontend ecosystem very overwhelming, but that wasn't the language's fault.

Also, whatever to your passive aggressive remark that's supposed to imply that I don't get work done. That wasn't very nice.

Sure. But what we're talking about here is how "not seeing color" hurts more than it "helps."
> However, in practice, JSON messages almost always have an implied schema.

Typed json already exists in various attempts eg tjson

Really I think the problem is that JSON is great when your schema is still in flux -- once it's public/stable, it makes sense to want to strictly encode the current schema.

The solution then is that you really want a way to trivially transition from "implied schema" to "strict schema" -- though a typed json won't help you too much because the larger trouble is figuring out what your schema is in practice. I guess you really want either a code analysis tool to determine it, or more likely an automated tool to take eg a list of json responses (probably based on a test suite/code coverage) and produce a typed json schema that you can simply drop into your public API

The column requirements are a holdover from the days of punchcards, where column 1 was reserved for JCL commands and some columns were reserved so cards could be numbered and sorted by mechanical means.

I don't want to work with people who are biased against white people. I support equality and I genuinely want to see people treated fairly but I can't help but take offense to the notion that because I'm white I am less or should feel guilty.
> SSH can do encryption without requiring identity verification. It handles it by asking "Do you want to trust this new server?".

The problem is to figure out whether to trust the server you need to get its fingerprint through another channel. Is there an HTTPS equivalent of that?
I currently work at a FANG.

[Aside on Taylor Series] The section on recurrence relations is the basis of a little-known ODE solving technique sometimes known as the Taylor Series Method (occasionally Differential Transform). It allows an "extension" of Euler's Method to arbitrary order (using arbitrary precision arithmetic), by _calculating_ the higher derivatives rather than approximating them as in RK4 and friends.

Here is an open access link to just one of many papers on the subject: https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.em/1120145574

It includes a link to the actual software they used.

[EDIT] Obviously applying the technique above to dx/dt = x reproduces the Taylor Series in the article!
I disagree. AZs are completely independent data centers kilometres apart. For any businesses which may need low latency but still want full HA (e.g. finance systems), it's a blessing. This requirement cannot be fully covered with separate data center regions, something like an airplane crash would still hit everything.
You're just dealing with a social problem that you haven't as much experience with. As you grow to better understand the interpersonal dynamics between you and other people w.r.t. race it'll be the same as learning how best to communicate with old, or disabled, or femme, or masculine people without offending them.

It's not hard, just new. You're not crazy, just inexperienced. All we should do is keep trying to get better at it.

It's only patronizing if it results in preferential treatment. But I think the experts who work on these programs have found that it is necessary to "over-correct" in order to override unconscious bias.

Obviously, if it is coming across as patronizing, then you are doing it wrong. The point is to try to get to a happy medium. Like shooting for the stars in hopes of getting to the moon.

The IFR for Covid-19 is still not known, but just based on deaths, it is obviously either much more virulent or much more deadly than a seasonal flu. There is no way to look at ~127k deaths in the US for half a year, with no sign of slowing down in summer, and say that it is similar to the flu (which killed ~34k people last year in the US).

The comparison to malaria is also interesting. You're absolutely right that the infection vector is completely different in almost all characteristics. The difference between a disease killing mostly children and a disease killing mostly old people is important, but I don't think "robbing a country of its future" is a meaningful way to look at it. For example, there are no demographic risks from malaria, like your metaphor would seem to imply. The majority of the economic impact is coming either from households having to pay for the care of their sick family, or from lost work due to the sickness. The long-term impairments that malaria may leave children with are also a factor.

Of these, the first and possibly the third apply to COVID-19 as well, except that the costs for COVID-19 care are much higher, and with the important caveat that we don't know the long-term impacts of COVID-19 (though it is very likely not to affect children significantly, fortunately).

And while malaria can be eradicated (with great effort and time), as has been done in the southern US and southern Europe at least, it remains much more likely that COVID-19 will remain an endemic burden that we will just live and die with. I don't think we have any examples of successfully eliminating a human-to-human transmitted respiratory disease, unless we get lucky with a vaccine. It may well end up as a new tuberculosis.

And the assertion that limited restrictions could work as well as lockdowns is an extraordinary claim without any form of evidence. The only countries that successfully stopped the disease used some combination of timely lockdowns, travel restrictions, ubiquitous mask wearing, large scale testing, and excellent universal healthcare. Limited protections for the elderly have not been shown to work anywhere in the world, so why bother discussing them?

Note: in the spirit of nitpicking about my use of "not comparable" when I meant "much worse than", I should also point out that SARS-CoV-2 is a virus, so it is literally not comparable to the Flu, which is a disease. You can compare SARS-CoV-2 with (one of) the Influenza virus(es), or compare COVID-19 with the Flu/Influenza.
I'm frustrated that my comments promoting allyship are being downvoted to oblivion elsewhere in the thread. How can people be reading these experiences and not grasp the truth of this reality? I have people claiming that POC is a non-existent concept. It's madness.
For backend? Kotlin. Hands down. All the benefits of the mature Java ecosystem, but with a language that is vastly superior to Java, itself.

You get coroutines, threads, strong static typing, etc. Not the perfect type system, because it's still limited by the JVM, but much much better than Java, PHP, etc.

Why did you not mention African history?

In this respect, it's certainly not less "racist" than any other continent's history.

If you by racism means tribal or national sentiment to live together with others from the same tribe or nation. Then yes, what you call "racism" shaped it everywhere. I would hesitate to call it racism however, as it seems to be a universal human trait.
It's just mass hysteria and companies who were going spend less anyway showing how socially responsible they are.
> That's a big lie, it's extremely rare for big projects outside of wartime to create downstream tech that is generally usable. The big ones that are often claimed (Velcro for NASA and MRIs for the supercollider) are definitely lies.

This quite mistaken based on what I've read. Historically NASA hovers at around a 10:1 ROI. SpaceX would not exist today without the huge benefit of all the material NASA has published historically.

MRI may not have come from colliders, but modern medical imaging absolutely has benefited from these projects. There's a researcher that commented in a sibling thread with specific benefits to their project.

Then look at it as opportunity.
Sure. So, there are a couple of things I wanted from the design:

1. The top few stories should be wider than the rest, if there’s room to do so.

2. The stories should be sorted more-or-less with the top ones near the beginning of the page.

3. Stories in a column should flow continuously—there shouldn’t be any gaps where multiple columns realign. (Bear in mind that stories can be any height, and there’s no way to precompute it.)

There’s a few ways of doing layouts that meet some of these criteria in pure CSS:

• `column-width`: Meets requirement (3), but you can’t span columns and layout is done column-by-column so the top of the page would have stories 1, 8, and 19 (or so).

• flexbox: Meets (1) and (2), but leaves unsightly alignment lines as stories can’t shift upwards to fill in gaps in the previous row.

• grid: Same problems as flexbox.

• server-side column break computation: requires the server to know how tall each story is, which (a) won’t work with a stylesheet where nearly everything is in relative sizes that depend on browser settings and (b) would probably be tricky with responsive design.

As far as I can tell, there’s no way to do a responsive “masonry” layout with items of arbitrary height in pure CSS. At the very least it was going to be tricky and frustrating to get right, and Masonry.js was already available and (after a little poking to figure out how to tell it what I wanted) did the job without any more fuss.
This kind of thinking is how you end up in a newspaper article where you're in a building in new york babysitting a generator during a hurricane while everyone sane is serving from Atlanta now.

We always have these articles about needing to learn COBOL, - I think we see more of them since there’s more pressure on old systems such as unemployment these days - but it’s important to note to anyone reading this that learning COBOL is not going to lead to riches: I know several COBOL coders and while they make a respectable amount, it’s nowhere near the amount they’d earn at a FANG company.

Learn COBOL if you want - I learned COBOL early in my career and it’s very interesting how different it is - but if you’re attempting to maximize salary you’re better off spending time learning the bleeding edge tech.
