> The most important thing for me about Kubernetes is that it makes things fun again.

Because you have to re-learn things you were already doing, new bugs and edge-cases to fix or waiting to be implemented etc etc. I understand the fun part to tinker with a new toy, but it cannot be the only parameter taken into account when making a decision.
That's why I said "other alternatives like Elixir". Go is one. Elixir syntax is comfortable (and productive) for Ruby devs and Phoenix for Rails folks. Use what you like.
Leetcode is ok. My issue with it is some of the prompts are kind of confusing. Some of the solutions are often crowd sourced. Someone will probably post a solution in your language of choice, but there's not always a good explanation.

I much prefer the book Elements of Programming Interviews. It has an accompanying git repo with tests that you can debug in if you really need to. The solutions usually discuss a couple possible approaches. Following their study guide, I learned about Java data structures that I don't normally use and saw a good variety of problems. Ended up getting a job I was shooting for.

Ultimately though, it's not so different from leet code, although I think it is a more effective use of time. I think it is a good idea to do some practice just so you are ready for this type of question.
If they're similarly guilty of misinformation, those responsible in the media should absolutely face consequences as well. This feels like whataboutism, which doesn't preclude people taking a stand against the JRE podcast.
The First Standard to Assure a Photo’s Authenticity Has Been Created
I'm trying to catch up on some reddit drama. Apparently the mod of r/antiwork did an interview on Fox News that didn't go so well. I can only imagine Fox is spinning it as "young people are lazy"

As I see it there's two things at play here that feed into one another:

1. The re-framing by financial institutions of them being defrauded as "identity theft" and pushing this responsibility onto their customers.

2. Because of the above, the data can be valuable, incentivizing the compromise.

Re 1: Note that credit card companies have had this problem for ages and treated it as fraud for decades, which is why established card companies can have very reasonable processes to cancel transactions, mark some as fraudulent, and probably why they have reversible transactions. However, because of the rest of the industry card companies now appear to be jumping on board with the "identity theft" concept.

By collectively not treating it seriously and essentially letting it happen and inconveniencing their customers instead of the vendors, banks have essentially washed their hands of it and give zero incentives to the vendors to seriously try to protect the data. If every transaction marked fraudulent meant the vendor didn't get the money, there would be a lot more serious action here.
Imperative config means you run the code and it does what the code says.

Declarative means “some system reads and parses the config, can do clever things to change what happens in different circumstances, show you a preview of what happens, track chances of what the config has been in a straightforward way, audit the config for consistency across several systems or for adherence to selected principles, and do other smart things”. These are possible because the config is a data structure now. You can do things with a data structure you can’t do with a shell script. The script is too opaque and our computers are not yet smart enough to analyze it in these ways.

There are great advantages to the simplicity of imperative configuration scripts, which is why shell scripts will not soon die. There is some peril (shell scripting in particular is full of tricksy traps; alternative languages may mitigate this.) There is great power and some peril in imperative config. It’s a choice.

How to do A/B tests easily (and for free)
I don't think it's necessarily about them being right or wrong in the scientific sense. It's the communal disgrace that comes with having raised an apostate child. Being factually correct or incorrect is subordinate to communal standing.
“ local vs global convergence in nonlinear optimization”?
There is also an entry for "88 event", the "eighty-eight bloody cases" are almost certainly related to censoring that. I am not familiar with any famous event -- I wonder if it relates to the 8888 uprising in Myanmar where the Burmese rose up against their communist totalitarian dictatorship (and were slaughtered in the thousands, natch).

No idea about the second one - but every single major mainland Chinese politician and ministry is on the list too, so it is probably just yet another political topic they want to monitor/suppress...
Ask HN: I believe professional networking can be reimagined. Need feedback!
Hey Hackers! Two weeks ago or so, I posted on Reddit asking for feedback about "Tinder for professionals".

Many Redditors gave amazing input. I began researching a lot and found out that LinkedIn is the only recognized global player. There are copycats, but my goal would never be to build something as boring (IMO) as LinkedIn. I want to create something different, targeted towards a younger generation. TL;DR - I want to build something cool.

I started working on the project with my friend around the same time I posted (just designing some app screens and researching WebRTC), and yesterday I launched the website for it - see the first comment.

Creating the website took me roughly 15 minutes (no-code, completely free - using Notion, Popsy, and Google Forms). It's far from perfect, but I think it does the job, and I can continuously iterate on it later when needed.

Please go check it out and let me know what you think. Also, I kindly ask you to provide as much feedback as you can. We're still very early, so we're open to any feature ideas that might make the product better for YOU to use it.

I initially thought it's just like Mastermind, but with Mastermind you are not told which colours (corresponding to letters) are right: you are just told there is one right in the right place and two right in the wrong places, for example.
Here in Nassau Co, NY there was a lot of discussion that Viola was interested to take over running the bus business, because it would give them a toe-hold in the county and chance to get contracts for a sewer project, which the parent company was also into. I don’t know if it’s gone the way they wanted, but you can get the play.
> A 2021 study in Israel showed that when women were addressed in a math exam using male pronouns, their scores were low. When they were correctly identified with feminine pronouns, scores rose by a third.

This is just plain wrong. Reading the study [1]:

* The average score for women addressed in the masculine was 54.5.

* The average score for women addressed in the feminine was 59.5.

* The "scores rose by a third"--which was so implausible it is what led me to go read the original paper--appears to refer to one third of the average gender gap between men and women.

* The difference between the women addressed in the masculine and women addressed in the feminine was not statistically significant:

> When addressed in the masculine, women’s maths scores were lower by 5.1 percentage points (−6.9 + 12.0), relative to when addressed in the feminine (Model 1; F(1,755) = 2.31, p = 0.129).

I expect better of Reuters.

This would all depend on your risk tolerance and fail-over plan. On Azure, for example, K8S node pools run on VM Scale Sets. By enabling Availability Zone distribution for those VMs, you could at least keep part of your node pool up if one zone in the region went down:

In my 21 years in the industry, I've never seen one. Schrodinger's Code Challenge.

There's also the issue of Coderpad et al being a sterile, primitive, unfriendly environment. Not the editor or IDE a candidate is comfortable with. (Additionally, I want to know about a candidate's editor and setup. It reveals a number of things I'm interested in) And I like candidates to be comfortable to be able to be their true selves. Then there's the awkward "wait while you code," folks sitting on the other side that you don't really know, waiting or trying to make some kind of polite commentary to let the candidate know they're not being ignored or forgotten. And the candidate trying to talk through code, again with people they don't really know or have any social basis with. Coderpad is a horrible environment for interviews.

That said, I have seen VSCode's Live Share used successfully, where all parties were engaged and contributing to code in the same session. That was on an actual job-applicable, practical exercise.
> Substack is trying to generate returns for venture capitalists.

Yes, but they're doing this by countering the heavily editorialized and censored mainstream print media with a more free speech-oriented platform. This is exactly how we should exploit markets to produce good social ends.
I think many people miss the point - it is a podcast and not a news stream.
Especially in case of JR, what I like about him, he does not have a paper of questions in front of whim, or a guide of some sort in front of him that provides interview scheme and main questions to ask. He obviously has it and keeps the key points in mind to route discussion across the topics he thinks of a most interest with invited guest. But that projects environment of a nice talk, with a friend who stopped by today - we talk, we debate, we drink and smoke and make jokes.
What I personally find a lot in his podcast, due to the incredible diverse guests pool, is points of view, historical facts, ways to think about the same issue I never thought before, some laughs, some tears and move on with some baggage in my head. He always says - do not listen to me, do not repeat what I did, and when he says something guests, who very often, do not have any vested interests of any sort, are free to disagree with him, correct him on his mistakes and it happened multiple times. So if he says something controversial, and guest does not correct him it might be mostly because of

- guest does not know much about it
- does not want to start debate on the subject
- agrees with him

What about Young - I'm sorry for him, he made a mistake. Music is not about right or wrong, music is nice, and it's emotion. If you want that your music "tells" something, preaches a way to see things, so be it.
But what Young did, is the same as I refuse to use Nginx because some pedophile sites use it. Spotify is a platform, for God sake, let it be it.
This all messed up and I don't think there is a way out of this stupid situation, other than something really big, really massively bad happening on the planet, or at least in "developed" world, so it kind of resets priorities in people, to the "normal" (whatever that is, but not definitely this)
I also love how the ipv6 docs say to give each pod a /64. Like wtaf is a pod going to do with that many ip addresses?
> which does not receive general fund support

This is the part that surprised me most. So instead of the government making sure that the market is kept fair using taxation, the AG finances this function by extracting money for its own use from offenders? That seems fishy to me.

> Someone just slipped a bug into production. We now have $12,399 per minute in transactions that will not be processed. CEO needs a report for a board meeting in 20 minutes. Junior dev didn't show up and four team members were waiting for the commit he was supposed to have in yesterday.

While it's helpful to have rockstar devs that fix that kind of situation in 5 minutes, I'd say you still have to have boring people who test thoroughly, document properly, and have deployment procedures and rollbacks figured out, none of which is something you identify from a Leetcode type test; yet these practices which lower the chances for that scenario to happen in the first place.
Hmmm… maybe.

Imagine living so long you have photographs of yourself whose copyright terms expired. Would Wikipedia be allowed to use those without permission?
Essentially what happened is the mod went into an interview without telling anyone, without preparing, and basically managed to destroy all momentum the sub had, and then started banning anyone who brought up the interview, leading to a max exodus because that goes againt the entire point of the movement.
A. He has over a dozen patents on mRNA-related technologies. He was the first person to get the ball rolling, and is credited as the inventor by Nature, so this is not a made-up title.

B. Fauci has had every position on every issue throughout the pandemic. No masks, then masks. No vaccine mandate, then vaccine mandate. Don't mask the children, then mask the children. Don't return to school, return to school, don't return to school. Lockdown for 2 weeks, keep it up for over a year. You might call it science changing. I consider it (as do many Americans at this point) an excuse for a dictator who doesn't know what he is doing to cover up his arbitrary decisions.
Facebook tried to pull this shit in India too. Didn't work out. A lot of Facebook execs wrote Twitter posts about how India "threw out the capitalist baby with the colonial bathwater". Believe it or not those were the exact words.
My understanding is that is because they are children, so the doses are much lower.

DTAP, for example, is one of the vaccines that kids need. It has a 5 dose schedule. But, an adult that was never vaccinated can get one shot of Tdap instead.

Notably, the DTAP vaccine is 71% effective after 5 years[1]. Compare to the covid vaccine being 38% after 6 months[2].

I can think of 3 reasons:

- vaccines are killing people

- undiagnosed covid / long covid is killing people

- something innocuous like the reporting methodology has changed and this category is acting like a residual

What makes me think it probably isn't vaccines is that the "Diseases of Heart" category didn't spike. The working hypothesis is that the mRNA vaccines are killing people primarily via myocarditis and heart attacks. I would've thought that this category would therefore have spiked if that was the case?

I'd like to see how many of these are young men, I think that that would be revealing.
Well, I'm currently in my masters in electrical engineering in Germany and we are taught the same stuff. We even have a mandatory course about basic numerical algorithms.

> A lot less toxicity and higher quality interactions.

There were good places and bad places, same as now. I recall a post where an acquaintance of mine was angry at his teacher and was pondering whether, hypothetically speaking, it would be better to rape her and then kill her, or first kill her and then rape her. And there was always drama, people getting banned from BBSes or signing up with a name designed to look like somebody else's, etc.
What platform? I found no battery change wtih WeChat on my iPhone, though I can force-kill it and as I understand it does nothing.
> The investors who tear down and build new properties are motivated entirely by the market price that a unit can fetch on the market, which is largely determined by the speculators in the secondary market.

But how is this at all related to the secondary market speculators?

People who make a living by holding on to properties and flipping them on a price increase.

This only exacerbates the lack of supply.
He got the ball rolling, and is credited as inventor by Nature. We call Thomas Edison the inventor of the lightbulb even though his lightbulb has little to do with modern LED lighting. Similarly, it is not dishonest to call Robert Malone (in Nature's own assessment) the inventor of mRNA technology.

From the boat owners I know, boats are relatively cheap compared to their operating costs.
In the UK it was called "ex-directory" I guess short for excluded from Directory. In the 90's British Telecom, the defacto telecomes provider in the UK, introduced a dialup service called Phone Base. Cant find anything about it online except this reference (https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/bt-phone-base), but it was possible to dial up, put in wildcard generic strings, select a dialling code and download massive tables of names, addresses & phone numbers.

Natwest around the same time also had a dialup system, where you could do banking transactions over a dialup modem. It worked on the pretense you knew the account numbers you wanted to shift money to, its main security was the bank transfers were done offline, then their app, a frontend for a DUN terminal, uploaded the batch of bank transfers and then logged off within 30seconds or something like that. Now it was possible to access the Natwest system without using their frontend app on Win95, and just dial in and make the transfers yourself, your only constraint was the time limit and having a password to access the system in the first place. Security wasnt their strong point from what I could tell.
My mum did but that’s only because there was an insane deal and she got 1,000 rolls for like £10.

Sadly, this was right before the toilet roll shortage from panic buying before the first UK wave of Covid and she’d give them all away by that point.
So you have a belief, but no actual data or even anecdotes to back it up.
Fun fact: the 'fire in a crowded theater' example was originally used as an analogy to justify censoring pacifist opposition to the First World War and the military draft.

This doesn't make the example invalid, mind you. But I consider it a warning to be extremely careful and skeptical when equating 'dangerous' speech to immediate physical damage.

Ask HN: Any successful stories of finding co-founders online?
If you have a successful or at least growing startup, and your founders work 100% remotely from each other from day 1 — please share your story in as mich details as you can.

I’ve seen a few examples of moderate to highly successful fully remote and “remote by design” hi-tech companies.

But never have I heard of core founders found each other online or even working remotely from each other.

It made sense before covid times, but how about now?..
The main reason anti-work exists,
is that work is wage slavery pretending
to be a hobby-like 'profession' that
isn't ordered top-down. People discover
this and begin to hate it, but they are
dependent on work to live: the pandemic
exposed how useless most jobs are for
the current generation and how the work
is mostly bureaucratic schedules and
regulations which treat humans like
replaceable robots(which is the ideal
worker in a modern world).
It is possible, you have to ask for it though.

I just did a round of interviews with offers over 100kEUR in GameDev working remotely. All British or EU companies. No leetcode questions, some did take home tests, some online questionnaires and most of them a normal technical interview talking about code.

I had a few companies reject me for the asking price, but that's fine, at least I knew I was pushing their limits. If we don't do that we won't get rid of the hand waiving excuse of salaries are lower in the EU (or in gamedev for that matter)

As soon as we brought our redis and mongo in house, k8s became easier and cheaper than heroku (and 2 other PAAS solutions that we had experimented with).

After the switch (and a single open source tool) we still didn't need any specialized devops knowledge, we just have developers in house.
There are boot camps for developer interviews now. The practice is bad and it is inhumane. They will eventually go the way of other unintended gatekeeping disasters like the standardized high school/college tests.

The practice is just a veiled hazing ritual meant to strip you of dignity and agency.

If it isn't meant to do that...well, guess what? That's what it is doing.

And if I study real hard and maybe take a boot camp, I can join one of the illustrious paragons of internet virtue such as Facebook (sorry, meta block chain addicts inc.) or Google to spread ad-tech throughout the known universe.
