Honestly, it depends on what's in your stack and how everything fits together and what's the architecture like.

Almost any orchestrator (Nomad, Swarm and Kubernetes) can do a rolling deploy and draining of particular nodes if you ever want to do that either.

Currently my homepage runs on a few containers (horizontal scaling) and a load balancer in front of it, and redeploys have very little impact on the overall experience: https://kronis-dev.betteruptime.com/

That said, for write heavy workloads you'll need to even manage your DB migrations as a multi step process to allow both old and new schema versions to work during redeploy, whereas in other circumstances you'll need to think more about how to roll back either the DB, the app containers/instances or even events in your system (depending on the architecture and how much can go wrong).

In short:

- horizontal scaling can help, as can having a load balancer with health checks
- changes not being breaking between any 2 releases can help (e.g. multi-stage DB migrations)
- complications may arise with stateful services and data stores mostly
- apps and APIs being able to cope with others being offline, if only for a bit (e.g. request replay) can also help

Post COVID there's basically no reason to hire only in the Bay Area unless you work on hardware. Also, in my experience the issue with hiring managers is that they better know what to look out for in terms of bad upper management. The vast majority of startups have bad upper management in terms of actual management and company leadership skills. I've got less than 0 desire to work for a 25 year CEO who thinks they're the next Steve Jobs.

I'm 40, went through the job search cycle this spring and can share my experience.

First: I've been working in tech for ~20 yrs. First 6-7 as an IC, then 8 as a dev manager, then 5 as a senior IC (I'd grown weary of middle management and wanted to have fun coding again) before beginning the latest job search.

Of FAANG I interviewed with 3 - Amazon, Netflix, Facebook.

Amazon's process was the least worst IMHO. Programming questions seemed less gotcha, less Leetcodey, altho major negative demerits for forcing candidates to memorize Jeff Bezos' "leadership principles" and demanding they share canned anecdotes from their career how they demonstrated them. The biggest problem however was the hiring manager was the very last interview and he ended up being an aggro jerk with little or no visible social skills, the kind of horror story you read about on HN. Shouldn't he have been the first? No offer and I would have rejected one anyway, especially because their comp sits behind a 4-year vesting cliff.

Netflix was odd: I applied for a senior full stack role only for the hiring manager to tell me mid-interview the job was actually a front end role, dashboarding Netflix's internal tools. Why misrepresent it then? They ended up ghosting me, but no more front end for me, ty.

Facebook was by the far the worst, and I interviewed 2x for 2 different roles. YMMV but 2 Leetcode q's read off by bored, mid-level employees. Not a single question about anything else. Maybe that's a fine process for college grads but for someone with decades of experience? As a former hiring manager I honestly found it comical.

I interviewed with 6 other companies before landing at my current gig as a Principal Engineer for a global media company. None of them made me offers but I wasn't too passionate about pursuing them. Often I didn't believe in the business model (e.g. "AI to solve customer support!", "ML for more accurate real-estate appraisals!") but maybe I just sucked too? Idk.

When I interviewed for my current role my hiring manager seemed really smart and had 10+ yrs of experience beyond mine. He also gave no coding tests (!!) and instead just had me speak to a lot of other senior people.

I'm six months into the role and so far, so good. No job is ever perfect but I'm happy I made the switch, and I feel like it's a good pathway into an executive role at a startup or some other company.

My general advice would be to keep at it, be patient. In some ways it's just a numbers game. Or maybe more like dating, where you can go on 500 bad dates but number 501 could be the one. Don't take an offer just for the money if you don't get a good vibe from the people. Also a huge salary becomes less and less important the older you get, find something that makes you happy.

Good luck.
Great software. I have been using it for a few years now (and even made a few themes for it). The WYSIWYG mode is really the best feature for me and what made me picked this editor. I don't like the "Live Preview" mode on most of the editors because it opens a new window or make the main window really large.

Something I like too (not sure if it exists somewhere else) is the ability to copy/paste an article (let's say from medium) directly in the WYSIWYG mode. You basically get your article just like it is being displayed on medium: h1 detected, paragraphs, bold etc. OOTB. Really nice.
What I have learnt so far with Roll Your Tweet
> a machine learning model

Not to mention that generally ML models are not useful for assessing risk. ML nearly always focuses almost exclusively on some point estimate rather than a distribution of what you believe about a value. The former case is all about expectation and the latter about variance. Correctly modeling variance is far more essential to risk modeling than expectation alone.

I recall talking to a startup that was attempting to model credit risk by building a binary classier for defaulting, and trying to figure out a way to use this to score people for credit (obviously they chose to ignore the fact that there is a huge industry with decades of experience in assessing consumer credit risk).

They focused exclusively on finding more advanced models to get better AUC without even realizing that that's not important. I mentioned that the most simplistic credit score model should at least model P(default|info) and then set the interest rate to - P(default|X)/(P(default|X)-1) to break even and they couldn't comprehend this basic reasoning. It was doubly hilarious since their population's base default rate was such that the solution to this equation was higher than the legal limit they could charge for interest.

In the early part of the current startup/tech boom there was a focus on "disruption", the idea that new ideas could easily dominate old ways of doing things. But for many industries, such as credit/lending and real estate, you should at least understand the basic principles of how these "old ways" work before trying to disrupt them.

Interesting, so You would say precious metals are just being hyped by retailers and the concerns about currency devaluation/inflation are overrated? You could be right but some of their arguments are very compelling.

Eg. In 1880, 20 Dollars would buy a weekend stay at a nice hotel, a new suit and a steak dinner. If that 20 dollars was in the form of a 20 dollar gold coin(which could be bought for 20 Dollars in 1880) that same gold coin could buy all three things today and at any other point in time over the last 140 years.

I find it hard to dismiss that argument.
But it also seems like missing the point for people to criticize that headline for a grammatical error (falsely!) when they really just want Bob to be named... which is exactly the point of that article, right?

anectodal evidence, but yes, an apartment I lived in was 30k cheaper than everything in the house, and the estimate. So I was really happy to have caught a bargain.
Then after moving in it turned out the neighbors were unbearable. The father had developed a DIY habit during covid and he would regularly put together furniture at 11PM. Then they had two monsters for kids. Would literally jump around uncontrollably for hours, and for some reason, through some defect or lack in the sound proofing, the sounds were even amplified. Every time they went down to the playground the kids were literally screaming at the top of their lungs the whole way down. I nearly lost my sanity and fortunately could sell it at at 2k loss in a year.

I’m not sure that time is passed.

I was in college only ten years ago, and my English professor’s key insight to punctuation is that it’s to define framing and tempo for your sentences.

That the sequence you listed is the pause count — similar to different empty spaces in music. Punctuation is just the negative space to frame your thoughts!

And perhaps a bit of tonality.

What “US proprietary systems” does UPI lock people into, exactly?

The number of available UPI apps today exceeds 100. Some of the big ones are created by US companies, sure, but many are created by Indian/non-US-owned companies. There is no lock-in though.

Also, UPI is not on Windows/MacOS either, so it’s not correct to infer that it’s “not open” simply because it doesn’t run on Linux. It was designed from the start to be a mobile payment system, and there are good reasons for that (more on this below).

The reason it doesn’t work on AOSP is, I presume, due to security concerns related to rooting (similar to why it doesn’t work on older known-insecure versions of Android/iOS). The security/fraud prevention mechanisms rely on proving that your device has a SIM card with the phone number linked to your bank account - and the same phone number is tied to your identity via Aadhaar. These guarantees are presumably much harder/costlier to ensure on such devices.

EDIT to add: There is also an economic angle here: the above description of reliable, low-cost KYC in UPI also reduces the cost of operating the network (both directly by simplifying KYC, and indirectly by making fraud harder).

Source: I work on a UPI app (although I am by no means a security expert).
That is an (incredibly) poor explanation of Terraform plugin separation from state management (or perhaps you’re using a weird locking backend that has more issues than correctly implemented ones). If created resources don’t end up in the state file, that is a provider bug (they failed to call `SetId` soon enough).

Source: was a core developer of Terraform and some of the largest providers for many years.
"Nature is not a person that has emotions"

Obviously, it was a metaphor.

"200 million years ago there were no icecaps and it was a flourishing time for life, with 2000 ppm carbon in the air as well as huge amounts of other greenhouse gases and it led to an explosion of life"

Yes, but the life was adapted to it. Humans are now causing a mass extinction event, and the warming didn't really started yet. The main threat is to human habitat, not life on Earth. We don't really know how dependent on the biosphere we really are, and perhaps we shouldn't try to find out.

"I guarantee you that rising fertilizer prices and fuel prices will kill many more people than rising sea levels"

I think here's your misconception (and also the reason why this needs to be talked about more) - the rising sea levels are (at least in this century) the least of our worries.

Possible heat and drought conditions are a much bigger problem, both directly (certain populated places on Earth might become unlivable) and indirectly (the agricultural output of major crops is expected to decrease). As someone else stated, yes, global warming won't kill you, a war or a famine will.

In any case, even if we didn't have a big problem with global warming, the fossil fuels would run out this century anyway, so if your society is dependent on them for survival (e.g. for making fertilizer), you better try to make the transition to something else (more sustainable) as soon as possible. However, it should be noted, vast majority of the world is not dependent on fossil fuels for survival, but for convenience, and we could easily make most of the transition away from them without any loss of human life. (And in fact thanks to cheap renewables we won't actually have to give up convenience either.)
Just to reply to one point of your post, up until potentially May 2020 I don’t think the transmission medium of COVID was widely understood.

I was in NYC through the first couple waves and in the beginning, we were arguing over droplet size and transmissibility. People were wiping everything down to avoid contagion. There was no real respiratory concern outside of being right up in someone’s face.

I honestly don’t think anybody knew, let alone a conspiracy, to convey bad information to the public. They just flat out didn’t know.

It wasn’t until further experimentation over the summer of 2020 that the primary means of transmission is through very fine respiratory action.

If you haven't already, look into Catalonia in the Spanish civil war. It's perhaps the closest thing we've seen to libertarian socialism at scale. It's said to have worked pretty well until it was smothered between fascists states on one side and the USSR on the other.

There's also present-day Rojava, which AFAIK isn't as far along the path as Catalonia was, but still is really inspiring.

Compressing atmospheric data into its real information content
Probably to avoid the national/continental embarrassment of relying on the Americans for every basic piece of technology European society depends on. The original comment was about how government websites rely on YouTube to host their content. I guess there’s also a case for not subjecting European citizens to the perils of Google’s data collection efforts, or the government’s content to the moderation whims of YouTube’s algorithms.

This is part 2 of the dirty duo of European business attitudes: “why even bother?” Nothing is ever worth doing in Europe, an unfruitful complement to the belief that nothing is possible in Europe.

Power imbalance is a function of capitalism, they can setup a setup a cooperative but the prices wouldn’t change much. The issue is if they sell a commodity in bulk they get a bulk commodity pricing.

Efficiency in long distance transportation is inherently a function of scale. Very quickly you find it’s often more environmentally friendly to do longer distances with full loads than short distances with nearly empty or much smaller trucks/trains/boats/ etc. A farmer > collection point > train to regional distribution points > truck to local distributor works. A farmer isn’t going to say fill up a train on his own, and a train stop per farm isn’t going to work.

At the outer end N to M transactions between distributors with one product sending to different distributors with multiple products works. A grocery store getting deliveries from hundreds of farmers runs into issues especially when people want out of season fruits and vegetables.

The downsides of this model is it’s difficult to supply goods that decay quickly. A farmers market physically next to the farm can sell fresh food that would never work in a grocery stores supply chain. But people driving to every farm is a different inefficiency thus seasonal farmers markets.

Small, Sharp Software Tools
I had to read a lot of Heidegger, who was interesting on a macro level but interminably boring on the micro level needed to see the macro. His readability was helped by the use of very visible double dashes-- sort of an extended version of the double-comma appositive structure in a sentence-- so the structure of his writing was easier to follow.

I liked that much more visual que enough that I adopted it myself for a while. Over time, I recognized that when I found myself reaching for the technique it meant that I probably needed to restructure things into more discrete chunks that build sequentially. When possible, conveying complex information benefits from as simple a structure as the information can manage.
Although I might disagree with the use of the word "fascist" here, I don't think that's an entirely fair comparison. Societies usually ban things that are directly harmful to someone else (or in some cases to the person themselves), and burning trash in a populated area falls under that. Indirectly harmful things could also be banned, but the consumption of resources alone usually doesn't satisfy that in a liberal society unless the resource is rather scarce. (Think water during drought.) In other cases, use of resources and other indirectly harmful things just tend to be taxed.

A better comparison might be banning driving for no objectively useful or socially acceptable reason.

I can see how one could deem it kind of totalitarian if driving for no purpose were legally banned. Add in the fact that many people here probably take computing personally (as do I), and it's no surprise that it will seem totalitarian to decide which kinds of computation you can use your resources for, regardless of whether the computation actually makes any sense to an outsider.

A few comments. There are only so many senior roles so as you are promoted there are more folks fighting for fewer seats, and this is why a lot of people move into management type roles as they get older. I also feel that SW development is a younger person's brief nowadays as the prevalence of python means it's more about googling and less about SW engineering. It reduces the need for senior people but these younger folks will get older too.

There are a number of companies where there are older folks in senior SW roles if you look for them. I find that it's harder to work with younger folks as they are less likely to have families so have this mentality to work longer and then go out on the town. Not interested.
