I hear you. I moved from Boston to Charlotte 10 years ago for family, and I've had a hard time building a local network because of spending (too) many years at one employer here. I have a very nice network back in Boston, but my local one is still much weaker.

Here's something you can try: what do you wish you did 5 years ago (that you could have done with your knowledge at the time)? Now, imagine what you in 5 years will want the you of today to do. Go attend some local conferences or meetups. If you have trouble making connections quickly, prefer repeated events.
I can't think of any iCloud data you can't download from the website or that is not already on your machine anyway.
There's a food product named Soylent... So I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Your arguments are relatively helpful and good, but no one cares that you are a CTO. Your post would've been just as relevant have you said you're an engineer/developer/work in tech or not even mentioned your position. I hope you don't take offense to this, but it just seems `cocky` when people act like that.
What if the macronutrient content of your diet affects your metabolic rate? I mean I see the value of the "bucket with a hole in it" model of human weightloss but the body is a complex biological machine full of feedback mechanisms so maybe that model isn't always sufficient.
How big of a team and how big of a codebase? Often massive amounts of commits during development wreak havoc on interconnected projects. At least in Git, not so much in TFS. Mercurial kind of splits the gap.
Another great and needed product written in Go. Nice work!!
Wouldn't a system like Goodreads be a good start for that?
Ask HN: Pay-as-you-go SaaS services?
Most software-as-a-service (replace "software" with something more specific if you like... API, Database, Postgres, etc) companies have tiered subscription models.

They often have a low-end package for people who are gonna just mess around with the service, usually at like $5 or $10 a month, with a limit on how much you use. I for one often don't bother experimenting with these services because I don't like having a lot of recurring subscription payments. They all pile up, and sometimes I want them and sometimes I don't - I won't necessarily need X00GB of whatever every month but one month out of three I might. It's very inflexible.

A PAYG system would be much more flexible and I think would lower the barrier to entry for many devs who don't wanna commit. Something where you get X00GB of whatever, for a one-off payment of $5, and you can use it any time you like (maybe it expires after a year of no use, or something). This would be great for developers who want to play around with something but don't know how long they want to do it for, or at what volume. Maybe when they're ready they could upgrade to a subscription.

Are there any examples of SaaS companies which do this?
Is that 8000 reqs/second right? Seems extremely low for 1700 cores, even for Ruby.
CLOS has been on my list to research for some time now, and I haven't made a decision on it yet. The goal would be to get the JIT to remove the method lookup completely, and that might get a bit tricky depending on how complex the lookup code is, but it is the most open dynamic OO system I've seen, so it might just be worth it.
Regardless of career prospects title should have been "where do old devs go to die?"
Even the police is becoming a mini-NSA now. The worst part is they are encouraged to do this from the top-down (DHS, FBI, DOJ).
You will need to provide source for the "People eat too many carbs in their daily life and don't even notice and they carry lots of long term health risks".

And preferentially one that also compares with asian diets since they have with lots of carbs.
> I am more surprised that they don't have common Chinese software install a set of MitM CAs.

It said in the article: the most popular Chinese browser Qihoop 360 browser doesn't even giving a warning for the bad SSL cert. "Qihoo’s popular Chinese 360 secure browser is anything but and will load the MITMed page directly."

Thanks for the honest reply. I wasn't trying to be judgemental, just trying to understand specific reasons, rather than admit the nebulous cloud of "because".
How do you communicate if you won't hit an estimate?
New developers (I consider myself here) will always estimate wrong. They will also feel bound to their estimates as deadlines.

I've seen this happen with myself, and now with another developer I've been helping along (we both do consulting & build websites for people). Strikes me as the sort of problem we didn't know we had until we get in the thick of it, and I wasn't satisfied with my answer for her.

I know this is a basic question, but figured I'd ask, what's the high value way to demonstrate willingness to share estimate revisions promptly and transparently? What's important to remember when you start getting stressed out?
High fat/moderate protein/low carb (so not exactly the 50/45/5 ratio of the post you replied to) can affect insulin resistance. Are you implying that insulin resistance has no affect on weight gain/loss?

It's particularly useful in clustering environments like CoreOS and Kubernetes where it's a little harder to pass configs securely. Instead, just bind a local volume to your docker container with your private keys, and load your configs securely from etcd/consul.

> Assuming a job change every 3 years

There you go. I spent (really too many) years at one small company after moving from a top-5 city to a top-20 city. And some of my contacts have left town.

Also, even if I've got people who can vouch for me, how do I tell them I'm looking for work? (This might sound trivial but I haven't figured it out.)
What does this mean:

"All databases are fully managed and tuned by us"

So... reactively you get tired of seeing disk io so you make indexes for me, and/or I'm not allowed to define my own indexes, or are you talking more server level like shared_buffers and work_mem? Or a third level like hardware level where I'm using more CPU so you give some to me and take it away from an instance not using it so much?

Just saying I'd see a difference in language like "schema level" vs "server level" vs hardware level.

I'm indecisive about this. As a gamble, should I use you guys and pay a little more for someone else to worry about differing levels of management and tuning, vs spin up my own and worry about it myself...
The article is here: http://www.naturalhealthstrategies.com/coconut-oil-and-weigh... Unfortunately there isn't any actual science cited there, so it may simply be a good story.

EBook Subscription Services – does the Netflix model work?
I would guess (and probably get downvoted for this) that it's because GIT is so widely used, is not well structured and overall group source control is not well understood by developers.

If you are exposed to several source control systems, you would avoid GIT, at least until you know what you are doing. But so many people use it and don't understand what they are doing, there are massive numbers of conversations just like this article - often between people who have never used anything other than GIT.
Yes, that's close! I also think that we'll need a better treatment of effects than either ML or Haskell can give us, but I hope to have something that has been carefully thought about, rather than bolted on like Haskell's effects.

It sounds like call-by-push-value gives a nice unifying approach to CBN/CBV and also effects. I am hoping that something interesting will come out of that work.
Remember though that this is tax fraud if you exceed certain quantities, while airline price discrimination is legal, so it's not quite the same thing :)

Yep, I also worked for Big Co. and they wouldn't even consider smaller corporations. IBM has a history and a deeply ingrained "support" structure within other corporations.

I could have built in house solutions that deployed faster and better auditing in just a few weeks than what they paid hundreds of thousands in licensing fees and man hours to do the same job. Hell, I even pitched it and management said no.
What an amazing demonstration!

I predict that Apple is going to spend alot of time quietly securing all of its messaging with Public Key Cryptography, so that it touches and encrypts everything that goes in and out of its products when they speak to other Apple products.

The anti NSA animus is growing exponentially and the legacy A5 cipher is an intolerable open door to anyone who makes calls today.

Thankfully, VOIP makes cellphone calls obsolete, and with FaceTime and Jitsi to name but two, secure calls are the default.

The age of mass surveillance is coming to an end. Strong encryption by default in calls is going to become the norm, just as SSL is all over the web.
That's not a 3rd party for goodness sake! It's iTunes. It says it clearly! My comment asked you if "suggesting that Apple is sending this data to advertisers". iTunes is categorically not a 3rd party. Enough of these fallacies. No-one is apologising for Apple's actions as there nothing to apologise for. You are looking for something that isn't there and it was clear from the onset that this was the case.

I don't quite get how getting over the dust bowl famine means that poverty is solved. Obesity doesn't really imply that the poor are now just applying all their affluence wrongly and could easily buy houses if they just would get their hands off the Mickey D, so it's all their fault if that isn't the case.

"Self inflicted" is really over-simplifying things and sounds like something out of Rand (or misunderstood Nietzsche).
Or you could call them up, ask them how they're doing, meet them for a coffee, then ask if their company is hiring for X and if they could refer you. At the very least this gets your resume put in front of the hiring manager and lets you bypass the HR nonsense. At the very worst, they say no and you go back to talking about his dog or whatever.

Keep in mind that most companies offer referral bonuses and programmers like to work with people they know and trust. I used to avoid doing this like the plague because I thought I was being a burden to people I consider friends. In reality, asking for a referral is mutually beneficial for both parties.

Not wanting two additional languages for your project

is a very silly reason. A build system is a system and needs to be learnt, whether it's a library in JS or a domain-specific language.

(That a JS-based build system shares syntax with JS is not relevant, since the useful denotation is JS syntax->build script, not JS syntax->JS code (unless you're debugging the build system itself). I contend that the denotation JS syntax->build script is no easier, and is perhaps more difficult, to learn than the denotation build syntax->build script, as it is, by definition, confusingly similar to the syntax for JS code!)
Use Anaconda Python distribution (https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/). Comes bundled with pandas, numpy, scipy (and much more). Does not require admin privileges. Updates and installations do not require working compiler (binary packages for your platform are downloaded).

> Yes, all databases are operationally managed by us. You never have to worry about maintaining the database or operating system.

I am not sure whether not having control over upgrades is a feature or a bug.

> We set up and maintain an optimized Postgres instance

Optimized for what ? Any non-trivial database is going to require tuning, for which there is no one best way - only custom choices.
I've lost 20 pounds following that approach without being hungry.

I noticed /r/keto was FILLED with success pics--and I mean 150 lbs. lost type success pics. And the difference, compared to other diet subreddits was that the success pic posts did not say "...and I had bariatric surgery" which is amazing to me.
Have anybody any experience with this DB they would like to share here?

Apple implemented not-exactly-end-to-end encryption on phones and the FBI publicly complained. Implementing effective encryption would most likely result in threats of a ban by the Chinese government. See http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-07/11/blackberry-in...

Ultimately there's only so far you can go against the wishes of the Chinese government when your factories are there, or against the US government when your HQ is there.

In capability it appears to basically be a "flat eggbot" and an eggbot costs $200. I bought one on sale back in '11 and have been inking a new personalized christmas ornament with it every season since then (more or less).

As a tool, its hourly cost has gotten pretty low compared to other toys. If I could find a similar recreational activity for this device, I'm just saying past experience shows that something similar ends up as a reasonable financial deal.
Asians have a very high carb tolerance from having lived with a high-carb diet for thousands of years. Comparing your diet to an asian's is definitely not a good way to determine whether it will be healthy for you.
I'm the author of this paper and I absolutely agree. If you keep identifiers, simply blurring the location isn't enough to address the risks of re-identification (https://twitter.com/yvesalexandre/status/524219573650722817).

Re-identification is a very different risk than the one considered by the UC Santa Barbara researchers in Wang, Gang, et al. "Whispers in the Dark: Analysis of an Anonymous Social Network." (2014).

If you're an older tech worker, for the most part, LinkedIn is just a firehose of crap. At worst, it's:

Hi, I see you're doing [JOB] at [COMPANY]. How would you like to do [JOB minus 4] at [COMPANY minus 2]? We have Beer Thursdays and your fellow employees will all be young enough to be your sons (and yes, they're all male).

And at best it's:

Hi, I see you're doing [JOB] at [COMPANY]. How would you like to do the same job, but at a different, but very similar company, with the same lack of a future career path?

What you never see is:

Hi, I see you're doing [JOB] at [COMPANY]. You probably feel like you're in a rut there, and are ready to advance to [JOB + 1] at [COMPANY + 1].
> if it can't be done through voting, what does the author expect them to do, short of a rebellion?

I personally don't want a part in the corruption, so I choose not to vote myself. What would happen if less than 5% of the people "governed" voted for that government? The establishment would lose its legitimacy. It would fall apart pretty quickly from there.

For cows grass is also predominantly carbs! Grass is mostly fiber, which is converted into carbs by the intestinal flora of the cow.

So why does corn fatten them better? Is it the macronutrient makeup of digested grass vs digested corn, or is it simply that corn is more calorie dense than grass?
"All".

All you have to do is sift through that firehose for jobs that match your expertise, at companies you wouldn't hate to work for, at rates and hours you'll accept, and that don't seem like they're just jerking you around. Then after you've expended that effort you can begin the actual process, which may fall through for any one of a billion reasons, not the least of which are that most recruiters are jackasses with little understanding of the actual field of work.

For anyone with a slightly complex set of skills just getting to square 1 of having a recruiter or HR person be able to understand your skillset is damned near impossible. And there's no way they'll actually be able to have a proper appreciation of your competency except in the crudest, most oblique manner possible (e.g. years of experience, "big" projects completed, expected wages, etc.) It's hard enough to have a conversation between talented, highly knowledgeable software devs which actually parses the differentiation between various job roles (like, say, systems engineering and web dev), which can span enormous ranges of differences. Trying to get the human resume regex parsers we know as recruiters and HR personnel to understand such things, good fucking luck. And yet today those people often stand between you and a job.

I could only imagine the state of the industry without word of mouth referrals.

* The popularity of that browser is way over reported - they tend to report "installed" statistics rather than "used".

Looks great, really. I'm pretty tired of Postgresql all I want is a simple modern data store that can handle arrays and blobs. Relationships and data validation is all handled at the application level for me. I'm very interested to try this out as soon as there is an implementation for active record.

Thanks for the heads up.

Your photography could be improved if you got a white sheet of paper or maybe some posterboard (eg: http://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-economy-white-poster...).

Thank you for your feedback. I apologise, because I came over as cocky.

I did make that statement to emphasise that the content has some base; I explicitly didn't mention which company or any other credentials on my behalf. I could have written that I'm a developer, but it wouldn't have been true, because most of my time is spend in other areas. I neither wanted to insult or boast, so my sincere apologies since it came off that way.
Got research sources? Sounds like the kind of thing someone makes up.

Discussions about salt always remind me of the story of the Russian Lykov family, who had spent 40 years living in isolation. When they were first found, they didn't even know WW2 had happened and the only gift they would accept from the outside world was salt, something they simply couldn't get enough of living in the forests of Siberia. They described living without salt as "torture".

Another video, a first contact with a tribe in Papau New Guinea, they introduce them to rice. At first they don't like it, but when they add salt, the tribe becomes excited and they share in it.
