From a pragmatic standpoint you'll likely work until you're around 65, so as long as you have enough time to learn the field and understand it I'd say at 34 you have plenty of time.

Credentialing for software development is much easier than fields like law or medicine, so as long as you can prove you can code well there will be plenty of opportunities open to you. Showing an open source project contribution or getting some certification might be a good start.

Pinochet was brutal, but not the most brutal.

Most of the South American dictators from Operation Condor were more brutal than Pinochet, and many of them stole everything they could and left nothing behind.

And the Cuban and Venezuelan dictorships are far more dehumanizing and brutal and Pinochet's regime. Also, Castro's regime started decades before Pinochet and is still there.

Pinochet stole money but left behind a working economy, that was a substantial improvement over what came before.

Allende was trying to consolidate power and eventually turn Chile into a 1 party communist system, through a communist revolution.

Pinochet had a 44% approval rate towards the end of this dictatorship in 1988. Although many people was unaware of the extent of the regime attrocities at that time.

There were extremists/terrorist groups in Chile, such as MIR and FPMR. Some of the Pinochet victims were inocent, others were not.

Interesting timing. The Ask a Manager blog just yesterday published a guest post by someone who tracked down one of the commonly cited statistics that drives the supposed myth. The research does not debunk the claim itself, though both the author and the blog runner share their own comments about the veracity of the claim.

You have just outlawed Roku. An online account is required to make it work, because that's how it was designed to work. It's a rather useless device without the online account.
The whole piece reads well, but the final paragraph is worth a look, in case you bailed out:

Earlier this month, Tesla opened up 12 new charging columns in the Schöneberg neighborhood of Berlin. The fact that it wasn't just any old fueling station was made clear by the guest list, with Economics Minister Altmaier showing up for the festivities. He held a speech full of praise for the company from California, saying German industry could only benefit. "Germany is pleased that Tesla is becoming a German brand," he said.

Looks like Google's BeyondCorp: https://cloud.google.com/beyondcorp. If you are on GCP, you can already use it https://cloud.google.com/iap to protect your HTTP and TCP backend.

This is not something new. The earliest open source project that I can recall is https://github.com/bitly/oauth2_proxy (albeit it might be missing the part where proxy passing identity to the backend).

Pomerium is another open source project that's actively maintained. I've been using it as a reverse proxy to all my homelab websites (grafana, miniflux etc). I can now safely access all of these internal resources from outside of my home WiFi with automated SSL certificate configuration and renewal.

You can theoretically protect your SSH connection via these IAP proxies, using the Chrome SSH extension and open source SSH relay implementation like https://github.com/zyclonite/nassh-relay (but I personally haven't tried that).

Disclaimer: I work for Google and am a casual contributor to the Pomerium project.

> I've heard that the Valve Index is a good alternative

They're not even comparable. The Quest is a headset and two controllers you put it on and pick the controllers up, draw a room boundary and you're in. Works in any room in your house, completely stand alone.

Index requires you to install multiple sensors in a specific room in your house, and requires a connection to a desktop PC tower and fiddling around with Steam to play.

I think the FB account requirement is incredibly dumb from Oculus (Don't understand why it couldn't just be a shadow account like Insta/Whatsapp which everyone seems fine with weirdly) but really the product their offering is entirely in a class of it's own for a fraction of the price a normal VR setup costs and a fraction of the hassle.

I think if the market was different and what they were offering wasn't unique I think far fewer people would care and we'd all just buy different headsets.
But if there was a profitable model where they offer great customer service wouldn't they? Or at least a competitor would come in who did. I don't believe spotify is making millions or billions in pure profit. Their competitors are able to position their products as loss leaders.

I agree some companies could do much better, Google is a massive example, but you still have to remember the scale. Read somewhere, If 0.1% of your users require customer service per day, and it takes 10 minutes per user, you'd need ~21k people working 8/hours to handle it each day.
And/or that it's a local jobs program for enough representatives' districts that cutting it is a no-go, the same issue as with many other military-industrial programs.
I'm guessing the Cloudflare One announcement forced Hashicorp to announce this so they wouldn't lose a lot of potential customers due to vendor lock-in.
Episodic tv takes skills to do properly, in this day and age. People now expect even side-characters to be fully fleshed out, and that’s difficult to do in a short amount of time. It’s also clear that a lot of “hot” showrunners, while great at building suspense and devising cliffhangers, are actually pretty bad at ending stories, so a more serialised approach allows them to kick the can down the road (e.g. Lost). After all, you become famous by generating interest and expectations, not by actually fulfilling them.

Shell Shock isn't a better description of the problem than Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; the problem is that not enough people care to make this a priority.

Not everyone who gets fucked up got fucked up due to being shocked with shells. Your mom didn't get shocked with shells; she got shocked with your dad's fists (maybe even after he got Shell Shock).

Bad things happen to people, and sometimes they cause lasting trauma. The direct cause might be different but the effect is similar enough that the words used to name it should change.
They acquired the Keybase team to implement this. If there is a backdoor, I'd expect a mass exodus of the team.

Trust is also very difficult and expensive to win back. It should be viewed as a fairly non-renewable resource. Even if you do something big to regain trust, that memory will remain as a cognitive anchor. Any semblance of the prior bad behavior will be met with, "of course, that's what they do." Back to square one.
I subscribe to this belief as well. Presidents have the power to declassify information at will, and I haven't been alive to see a president that isn't spending lots of time singing their own praises; popularity contests tend to select people of that ilk.

Hello HN! I'm the founder of HashiCorp.

I'm excited to see Boundary here! I want to note a few things about Boundary, why we made it, why it is different than other solutions in the space, etc.

* Boundary is free and open source. Similar to when we built Vault, we feel like the solution-space for identity-based security is too commercialized. We want to provide access to this type of security to a broader set of people because we feel it's the right way to think about access control. Note: of course as as a company we plan on commercializing Boundary at some point, but we'll do this similarly to Vault, the major featureset of Boundary will remain free and open source forever.

* Dynamic resource catalogs. Other tools in this space usually require manually maintaining a catalog of servers, databases, applications, etc. We're integrating Boundary closely with Terraform, AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, etc. to give you live auto-updating catalogs based on tags. (Note: this feature is coming in 0.2, and not in this initial release, but is well planned at this point)

* Dynamic credentials. Existing tools often require static credentials. Boundary 0.1 uses static credentials, too, but we're already working on integrating Boundary with Vault and other systems to provide full end-to-end dynamic credentials. You authenticate with your identity, and instead of reusing the same credentials on the backend, we pull dynamic per-session credentials.

And more! Remember this is a 0.1 release. We have a lot of vision and roadmap laid out for this project and we are hard at work on that now. We're really excited about what's to come here.

Specifically, as a 0.1, Boundary focuses in on layer 3 connections (TCP) with minimal layer 7 awareness for protocols such as SSH. This will be expanded dramatically to support multiple DB protocols, Microsoft Remote Desktop, and more.

Also, we're releasing another new product tomorrow that is more developer-focused, if security is not your cup of tea. Stay tuned.

The Boundary team and I will be around the comments to answer any questions.
Correct. The sabotage is targeted. Per that cite, non whites experience longer waits.
Hey returningfory2, great spot on the comment in the quoted section: "With how the recruitment industry is going with ATS systems, one-touch-tooling, and AI, it’s all about optimizing the top of the funnel to streamline the workflow. In this setup, it is key that you have a resume where a machine can identify that you have 80% of what the company is looking for".

I talked with the recruiter I quoted later on, and while they think eventually the industry will go towards having more automation, she also confirmed she did not see any automation like this, today. I probably should have made that more clear!
The Altair 8800 came out in January 1975; Gates and Allen's Altair BASIC, the first microcomputer BASIC, came out "shortly thereafter" and EWD498 was written in June 1975. That's hardly long enough for an explosion. Again, Dijkstra probably had never even heard of either when he penned his missive and it's clear that his opinion of BASIC was well formed even before 1975.

I'm not forced at all. I'm left in a lot of ways that the right would never agree with. I am in favour of cherry-picking from socialist traits like proper welfare, affordable health care and schooling, higher taxes.

But the left-wing people just go to the next extreme, that's where you'll hear populist rhetoric like "take it from the billionaires" and other such nonsense that will accomplish nothing for obvious reasons.

I don't assign loyalty to the Republicans nor the Democrats. I think both are terrible for the USA.

It's kind of crazy how much Elon sucks up all the credit for everything his businesses do. It seems like every single other company might highlight other people or whole teams or just the whole company.

People have different experiences, I worked in the services industry (cloud computing), not manufacturing. After a time spent there I understood why Germany can't have a Google, Facebook, Microsoft or any other platform that sells services. There's a higher chance for a European unicorn coming out of Poland or Romania rather than Germany.

Excellent point on the getting a refund years later. I've edited my comment to add that there would need to be depreciation on the refund.
Very impressive! This is awesome. Have worked on sculpting tools before and it's pretty dang intuitive out of the box.

Two minor suggestions:
1. On mac the undo mappings would normally be CMD+Z. Not sure if it's possible to map this in the browser or not but took me a moment to find Ctrl+Z (via menus).

2. The starting geometry is a circle with a flesh-colored tone. Not sure if this is randomized but it leads to quickly creating weird human-ish shapes. It also defaults to a mirrored circular/spherical brush. May want to consider a different default tone as you'll likely get lots of female anatomy drawn w/ the current settings.
> Money people never, ever know their place.

I think this is pointing the finger in the wrong direction. They do know their place: it's making money. The problem is that in our corporate market-based economy any culture producer that does not relentlessly focus on profit and scale will be outcompeted and destroyed by one that does.

Corporations are incentivized to hand the reins to the money people because the larger market structure means they will die if they don't. The market quite simply does not give a shit about the long-term well-being of a society. That doesn't factor into the fitness function at all.
The marine fauna has been wiped a couple of times before. Corals will survive (probably), they had seen a few bad times before-

But coral reefs is a different and complex machine. Probably not, or will transform in a totally different structure. What we see now toke three thousands of years to physically develop. If you wipe a reef now, maybe you could expect a return to shape after 500 years. Reefs had survived atomic bombs.

Exactly, if you take a look at HBO, they always announce either from the start that the production is a "Limited Series", or pre-announce the year for a final season. This gives the writing team the bandwidth to properly conclude all of the main plot lines.

Maybe this is because HBO values their content and hopes to syndicate it, whereas Netflix values their new subscriber counts.
They are a general nightmare to own after the first year or so. They encounter hardware issues way more frequently compared to Japanese cars. For a typical Japanese car like Honda / Toyota / Mazda, you typically don't need to do anything other than regular maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, break and tire replacements) for the first 5–6 years or 60000 miles. These are simple enough to be done very easily at any regular mechanic. Many Japanese cars run 100K+ miles without encountering any issue.

BMWs, otoh, you would be lucky if you went a few years without encountering any mechanical issue. And when you do, you are more likely to have to take it to their dealership, and my friends' experience of visiting those hasn't been great either.
Yep, this was especially deadly a few years back with Redis because it bound to 0.0.0.0 by default and by default Redis allows connections without a password.

So if you had 6379:6379 published anyone from the internet could connect to your Redis container. Oops.

> Always restrict your mapped ports to localhost (as in 127.0.0.1:3306:3306) unless you really want to expose it to the world

It's also worth pointing out that typically you don't even need to publish your database port. If you omit it, containers on the same network can still communicate with each other.

Very rarely do I end up publishing ports in production. If you wanted to connect to postgres you could still docker exec into the container on the box it's running on and interact with your db using psql that's already installed in that container.

A while back I wrote a blog post on the difference vs exposing and publishing ports at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/docker-tip-59-difference-betw....
They are not as high quality as Toyota or Honda. Not that Tesla is any better.
Would I later lose access to all my purchases on all my devices if I didn't have access to that phone number anymore?
This is (imho) a huge flaw in the concept of a "container". I don't think most people comprehend how much crap is going on in the background.

For most container purposes, host networking and the default process namespace is absolutely fine, and reduces a lot of problems with interacting with containerized apps. 95% of the use case of containers is effectively just a chroot wrapper. If you need more features, this should be optional. This would also make rootless federated containerized apps just work. But nobody wants to go back to incremental features if Docker gives them everything at once.
The protocol is not the problem here.

Most commercial VPN products are IPsec internally, plus some proprietary authentication stuff. (So much that for several, there are open source reimplementations of just those parts, and the actual IPsec is done by the normal Linux kernel IPsec code. See OpenConnect's PulseSecure support for an example.)

Also, having both run a VPN for a large network, and worked on VPN software for large networks, once you get to high user counts it's not as trivial as you think.

VPNs introduce extra latency, probably the corporate VPN hub is not at all on the shortest path to your actual destination. And corporate VPNs tend to go through (multiple) layers of other filtering. The bottleneck can be Pkts/s, Byte/s or Connections/s and it is not at all obvious which it is. And so on.

Besides, there are reasons corporations pay for expensive VPN solutions - certifications and compliance driven requirements such as integration of endpoint management.

Not saying it can't be done, but "use IPsec or Wireguard" misses the point entirely. (Of course, if those products were using Wireguard instead of IPsec, it would probably help a bit.)
> Perhaps some of these companies ‘joined’ prism willingly, but Google and Apple both deny having done so.

And you of course trust them.
Anecdote 1: I know someone who returned a Mercedes E-Klasse at the end of the lease because the electronics kept failing and a replacement sensor was 3000 a pop out of warranty.

Anecdote 2: I drove a friend's brand new Tesla and one of the rear doors totally didn't line up with the car's body.

So I'd say, German cars are a myth but Tesla's quality control sucks as well.

Yes. If there is work that you would like to specifically highlight, group your achievement(s) into your summary. If someone says not put a summary in your resume (beginning or end) you are making a mistake. Having an (albeit brief) identity helps you remain memorable in a sea of similarity. No need to list jobs 10 years ago, but saying you have written forum software or worked on a banking app is relevant to your career.
They’re reliable until they hit their warranty and then everything breaks.

My wife’s BMW 335 started having massive problems right about the time the warranty expired.

Meanwhile I drove my Honda to 175,000 miles with never a single problem except the A/C broke once. I only replaced it with a new Honda because in wanted the new model year features.
