Inetd only did TCP socket activation, not of unix sockets, though.

False.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/inetd.8.html

The service name entry is the name of a valid service in the file
/etc/services. … For UNIX domain sockets this field specifies the
path name of the socket.

The protocol must be a valid protocol as given in /etc/protocols.
Examples might be “unix”, “tcp” or “udp”. … A protocol of “unix”
is used to specify a socket in the UNIX domain.

xinetd does not appear to support this feature.

I work for a small to mid-sized family business that existed for more than 30 years now, we have several stores and since 10 years ago have been manufacturing a physical product with mostly national recognition, but also some international interest. In terms of size I'm talking about ca. 50 employees.

Our "IT-department" is me and another employee, that is currently finishing his apprenticeship (the german model) and likely to stay with us. When I started 10 years ago I got in via an apprenticeship too. We usually look to train our people and keep them for a long time, if possible.

Since I haven't been working for anyone else yet, I can't compare, but it's really satisfying working for a smaller, familiar and non-tech company. As you already mentioned technology and programming is needed everywhere, not just start ups. We develope our own internal CRM, POS system, websites and experimenting with lots of new stuff - sure, you could outsource these jobs, but our company is aware of the fact unless you spent a lot, you might and up with some lackluster solution that barely managed to tick off the bullet points. Doing this in-house offers a lot of freedom - we can choose our own technology, which is Rails for us, and if an employee/user comes up with an idea that would make his life easier, we are able to make it happen fast.

Plus, we feel valued, know the internal processes and requirements by heart and therefore are able to work on long-term goals, not just the current job's specs. The company is also located in a rather rural area - this might not be to everyone's taste, but rents and life in general is cheap around here, while the salary doesn't differ that much from city-figures - while the rent certainly does. Overtime is a very rare thing, I work 7 am - 4 pm. I can get to work by bike in 10 minutes, rarely seeing a car along the way. The bottom line is a very comfortable situation for me - financially and in terms of quality of life.

tldr: If you look outside the usual tech-world, you might realize that your talent is needed almost everywhere and it can be very satisfying to work in your natural domain, but for non-tech companies.
The coder may be a cost saver in some cases, but not necessarily all; if that sales guy is selling software that the coder wrote, then the coder is just as much of a profit generator (actually more) as the sales guy who just sold the product that someone else made. The manufacturer and salesperson are both important. Generally speaking, the value of these positions is about even; specific situations may slightly favor one position over the other.

Django scales just fine. It wasn't a problem for instagram, disqus, pinterest, washington post or the onion.

The nodejs model for high concurrency high throughput async applications is also pretty easy to write in python using the (much more mature) twisted framework.

I know a lot of the HN community have a lot of bad things to say about flat design, but this desktop looks fun and bright.

There still seems to be some edges that needs to be re-thought about many of the current flat designs (a lot of them have problems distinguishing buttons and text in many real world cases) and hopefully such a large undertaking can be part of a public development of Material.

Great, but you wanting the law to change doesn't in fact mean you get to ignore the law as it exists today.
No. Echoes of memories from your great-grandparents' great-grandparents is not even slightly on the same side of the room (or even in the same building) as living through an actual war on your own turf, civil or otherwise. I spent many years in a few different warzones, and you cannot possibly imagine what life is like for those folks. There is nothing in Western civilization that can convey these realities of war -- not even our own brand of tyranny or the relatively brief and cursory exposure of the vast majority our soldiers to foreign warzones. In a way, this attitude is almost offensive -- no offense to you personally -- because there is inherent disregard for the huge number of human beings living in awful shitholes where the human animal reigns.
Can you tell me where all the Node.js jobs are?
I think Assembly is a really cool idea - however, I've noticed a few things that are driving me away from the platform.

#1. Lack of good ideas. Most of the ideas are rather unmotivational to me. I realize that this could be an entirely personal hangup, so I don't hold this against the platform.

#2. Lack of good leadership. After participating in discussions with a few of the project leads, and reading the content posted by others, it looks like few (if any) of the people starting projects there have any idea how building a product works. See "Voices" for an example. It's tough to get behind some of these people.

That said, Assembly could be a really powerful platform. Just waiting for the right idea to come along I guess...

No, back in the nineties, you could not do any of the things he talks about. Not unless you were a high-status employee of a handful of major corporations or universities. Most people couldn't get online at all, and those who could were lucky to have client-only access to e-mail and the web.

Nowadays, anyone with a credit card and an Amazon account can set up an always-online server running pretty much any software they choose. The Internet is far more decentralized, by the criteria he invokes, then it was back then.
A Guide to Outsourcing Web Crawls
I worked a while as an "engineer who accompanies the sales guy to potential clients". Not really a sales engineer, as I didn't do actual salesman-y stuff and didn't manage accounts or anything. More as the guy who answered tech questions, gathered requirements, communicated back to the engineering team to get feature request time estimates, that kind of thing. More a 'liaison to the salesguy' than anything, though I would sit in on sales meetings.

It was fun, really. Lots of travel, lots of meeting people, lots of finding out what they really wanted us to be offering.

Anyway, I learned a lot about the art of sales, and while I was admittedly jealous of the money our salesguys made (some in 7-figure-land), I also learned it takes a specific kind of person to do it well.

And I could easily see why so many of them were such heavy drinkers. Combination of having to be very social and having the pressure of the revenue riding personally on your shoulders. I think as engineers you don't feel that pressure so directly. Certain execs in a startup, sure, but they're also part sales, in a way.

Whilst I agree that technical leadership is one aspect that skilled engineers can develop (and I agree that it's important for all engineers) there are many more.

For example, developers can grow into great product managers. Some can deep-dive into a topic and develop by sharing that knowledge through conferences, blogs etc. Some are interested in the people management side of things (scrum, kanban etc). All of these (and much more) are incredibly valuable and increase the value to the company they work for.

The challenge for companies is to recognize all these degrees of value (and reward them appropriately). I did some work to try and capture this with a visualization called a skills map (http://blog.red-gate.com/skills-maps/). Any feedback greatly appreciated!
Yeah... Well, you can consider a battery if you consider the load (in the grid) needs not to be constant

“With smart controls, we should be able to dynamically adapt the power consumption, to consume electricity when there’s enough power in the grid and not to consume when power is scarce.”
They're similar in that they're both terrible things that are way too popular, yes. But only one of them is "the Smurfs in space."
In that particular case there were faulty brakes on one of the cars. Had they been working (or the fault communicated properly) and the train not been overloaded, the derailment would likely not have happened. There was no other alternative - if no braking had happened, the disaster would almost certainly have been worse.

In a computerised system, the brakes would most likely have fault reporting. Actually in this case they did - the logs indicated that the dynamic braking system wasn't producing any current. This should have been indicated to the driver.

There's also plenty of human error there in not reporting the brake failure and 'eyeballing' weights. Passenger trains are presumably designed such that even with severe overcrowding and lots of luggage there is small chance of the brakes being underpowered. I have no idea why an emergency brake system wouldn't activate all possible means to slow things down.

I agree that in this instance braking actually worsened the problem, but the solution was still that the train should have been braked properly. A computerised system would likely have performed similar steps although it would know the braking force provided by each technique and respond accordingly.

Sedgwick is from Princeton,maybe you talking about Prof.Tim Roughgarden ?
In the CRT days people would change resolution to get the DPI/text/widget size they wanted, almost no one I saw was using the highest resolution of their monitor as a result. It was easy to buy a CRT because you just picked the size/cost you wanted and knew that you could just set the resolution.

LCDs introduced the problem of a fixed resolution, where basically you have to choose the right resolution at the time you bought it. There were 1920x1200 laptops [1] and 4k 22inch (T221) screens 10 years ago, it was clear this problem was coming, though the software never changed to become resolution scalable.

Great example except ... I don't have pulseaudio installed on my system. Not even out of any specific effort to avoid it.

It may be standard on some systems, but not, apparently on debian (it's an "optional" package).

And that's part of the point: stuff that needn't be present shouldn't be. systemd's a whole 'nother ball of wax in that regard.

And yes, I'll even allow that Linux audio has been frustrating over the years. But in my case, problems going away had nothing to do with Lennart's work.

>"and the evidence suggests that it is to that that we owe the collapse of oppressive regimes throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa"

Yeah, this is BS. That was just a Western media "human interest" story.

For one, those heavily into blogging and twitter and the like in a place like Libya or Tunisia, or invariably more affluent than the rest and more westernized (including more friendly to western BS interests). So they make a good subject to showcase as "the voice of country X", when in reality they are nothing like that statistically speaking.

Second, the "middle east and nothern africa" had tons of revolutions and collapses of oppressive regimes, leftist movements, anti-colonial movements and what have you, all throughtout the 20th century without twitter and blogging.

Just because some place like Egypt is the first time a 20-something guy in S.F. heard of revolution in those countries, doesn't mean it's due to "twitter".
Amazon doesn't have an EV cert.
> Then again EVE isn't really a game it's just a strange branch of real life.

True, in that it's very complex, and it does reward an analytical approach, which may or may not accord with one's own real life. Eve is a fantastic hobby, in that it is intellectually demanding, time consuming, skill rewarding, and an emotional investment. I can't recommend it but I'd certainly suggest it for whatever it is that ails ya.
Just came to say that I really appreciate this comment and an example why I still read HN despite all of the signal-to-noise of startup hoopla's.

I want to second and say that when I was very young, I had the perspective of the coder who thought I was being meritocratic when I judged my lead or project manager by their technical worth, ability to lead, whatever; and thought what a dumb naive and pandering move my PM would do by bring Dunkin' Donuts Munchkin's to our morning meeting, but the truth is I judged him unconsciously for those Munchkin's; and after learning the hard way, I'm bringing out all of the proverbial Munchkin's of pandering/cajoling/politicking to everyone at work now.

I'd say for myself that I had once retreated to a purgatory of technical "proving ground". But it was a false purgatory with empty promises, and I'm slowly coming back to the harsh reality of the physical pecking order of lunch tables at junior high cafeteria. But it bothers me less because I realize now how petty both technical and social people are in their own ways.

Not really, it just depends on where you've worked in the past. If you came up under a decent management structure, you've had it easy. If you didn't, you get all the BS in addition to trying to solve potentially complex tasks.

I've had 1 good manager who I was too inexperienced to appreciate. Beyond that, the better managers I've had was too soft that the other departments were able to play politics with or hijack their staff and the worst did their best to keep you ultra stressed 24/7 because they thought you'd deliver more work that way.

We've all came up in different ways, unless you've had multiple lifes experiences, it's really hard to decide that's the way it is for everyone.

Really? I've used monochrome hi-res CRTs in the early nineties (made by SUN for its workstations nonetheless) and they were shite -- (not to mention the text rendering of the software at the time was shite too).

I actually think you're just seeing those things through rose-colored glasses. Try a modern 5K retina iMac or 4K dell monitor.

Yes, it gave me a pause too. The trick is "our factory" represents current factory state, but it was not claimed that it has been "our factory" for 60 years, just that it operated for 60 years. Indeed, they took over from previous owner, but Musk puts it in a way that casual reader may conclude they somehow contributed to the whole lifespan, which is not true, obviously. Still, the larger point - that the factory can provide jobs and tax revenue long after the credits expire - is valid.
Thank you for sharing, it was inspiring and I really liked it. Such stories from the trenches are for me an important part of why I enjoy reading HN.
It's hard to say if Tesla paid more tax, as Tesla might not build the factory at all, or could build it in other country. The thing is there's nothing sacred in current level of taxation, so I personally consider tax breaks the least evil form of subsidizing, especially if the tax is not a purpose tax for shared resource (e.g., if there's a property tax to finance common school and somebody uses the school but doesn't pay the tax, all others pay more) but a tax break on indefinite further earnings which may not have happened without the tax break. Yes, it looks like crony capitalism and sometimes it is, but if the opportunity cost is low (i.e., nothing really was being built there otherwise) then I don't see why Nevada shouldn't do it.
The event model that Nodejs uses is the same as the twisted framework. The twisted framework is more mature, but does not have as many developers and a growing ecosystem like the nodejs. I don't think this is due to any problems with the Twisted framework, it's just that Nodejs has greater mindshare.

When I've deployed django applications we used apache and mod wsgi. This works by starting up a bunch of apache processes which load up a python interpreter. Each HTTP request that comes into the application is handled by an apache process which contains a python interpreter. This means that you have to use 100-200 Mb for each python requests. This is the amount of memory it takes to run a python interpreter. The number of mod wsgi processes that you can run at a single time determines the number of HTTP requests that you can handle. For the same amount of memory you could handle more HTTP requests using nodejs or twisted or any other framework that uses the event model.

You can not get money of politics if major part of politics is deciding who gets billions of money. If Nevada has power of taxation (and thus of tax breaks) and somebody comes and says "give me 1bn of tax breaks for next 20 years and I'll put $lots_of_money of new taxable income in your state budget, and that wouldn't cost you anything to current budget" their voice would be heard by Nevada politicians much louder than a voice of somebody whose yearly revenue doesn't break into six figures. As long as the politicians have their hands in the economy (and they do quite a lot) it would be negligent for them not to listen to major economic movers. It's their (budget) money that are on stake, of course they'd listen.
It takes years because you learn about these things as you go, and you solve them as you go and by looking at the source code of things you're using. People started using and jumping right into scala, and go and and node.js, solving the problems as they ran into them because they had the skill to do so.
