Depends on the use case, but basically, there is a big set of problems you can solve with different technologies depending on your exact details, one will be better in one way, one will be better in some other way. The sensibility of the programmer is to pick the right one, in an effort to maximize the different aspects: data model fitness for the problem at hand, operational aspects, consistency guarantees, performances (number of nodes needed), scalability, simplicity (do I need support since it's a complex stuff?), and so forth.

Motivation for changing the low order digits is different from the high order digits.
I agree that official, legible management structure is usually probably better than the unofficial management structure that will naturally emerge in a supposedly "flat" company.

You mention that most companies don't have "constitutional structure," are you talking about an employee bill of rights?

What would you think of the idea of running a company literally like a representative democracy? A constitution and bill of rights, management as elected officials, employee "voter initiatives", projects compete for talent internally etc?

It might not be perfect either, but perhaps a good middle ground between militaristic top-down bureaucracy and Zappos-style anarchy?

> I thought (and the manpages always indicated) that the rule was that /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf were fair game, and that if you wanted to make changes that weren't overwritten by a system upgrade, to put them in /etc/rc.local and /etc/rc.conf.local. I'm unclear why this is considered a problem.

For the most part that's true, but /etc/rc.local is run fairly late, so if you have a sufficiently-crazy setup you might have to edit /etc/rc.

For example, before softraid crypto was integrated into the bootloader I modified /etc/rc to prompt for the keyphrase before it tried to mount the disks.

You do realize there is a difference betwixt a "lender" and a "predatory lender", right?

Mortgages are sold by people in a dual advisor/salesperson role, just like auto mechanics (and doctors and plumbers...). Non-predatory lenders give people reasonable advice about what kind of mortgage people can afford, just like an honest auto mechanic gives reasonable advice to people on what repairs are necessary and don't suggest unnecessary services or repairs.

Just as sketchy auto mechanics who try to overcharge for repairs or encourage a customer to have entirely unnecessary service or repairs done, predatory lenders knowingly push people to purchase mortgage products that they cannot afford.

(You usage of "disingenuous" is almost as a synonym for "wrong". It doesn't just mean "wrong" or "incorrect", it implies that you believe that the comment is intentionally dishonest.

Sauce Labs - http://saucelabs.com/ - San Francisco, Vancouver, or remote - Software Engineer, Mobile R&D

We're making mobile devices do things they aren't supposed to. We need your help.

People from many different backgrounds will be considered, because most of these things have never been done before anyway. What we're doing combines Selenium/Appium testing, cloud engineering, networking, virtual machines, LXC containers, Android, iOS, python scripting, you name it. If you have a couple of those things under your belt, and you're smart and not afraid of doing hard detective work sometimes, I encourage you to apply. Previous work with a small team in a startup environment is preferred.

We're very active in open source communities.

Also, of all the places I've ever worked (including the allegedly "don't be evil" one), this place is the most serious about values and integrity. We have a huge opportunity in front of us, but we also want to work with people who share those values.

It really just confuses me that a group like HN, generally very open-minded, are so willing to assume the very worst based on very limited, curated, non-refutable evidence. Non-refutable because of security concerns. Its like someone ripped every 18th page out of a book, and from that subset, created their own version of the book. They changed the ending, and flipped the protagonist and antagonist. The story is not accurate.

How switching to MemSQL made my day
So when Jenny in marketing makes a new deal with Adidas and promises to have their newest shoe out the door in a week, James from shipping has to stop doing his job shipping things... to have a meeting with Jenny, and then Adidas, to explain why they aren't able to meet the timeline?

To suggest that managers aren't needed because the "group can just do it", is absurd. EVERY company has multiple departments in charge of different areas of the business. The job of a GOOD manager is to insulate the "do-ers" from having to deal with other areas of the business so they can focus on doing their actual job. Removing that title and "giving it to the group" sounds like a good way to create a lot of busywork to save a few dollars. And I can just imagine that the employees are expected to still get all of their normal work done - which means working after hours to have the meetings they should be having during the day, but can't because they're doing "their day job".

Maybe zappos has some crazy unique structure to how they do business, but I'm skeptical.
I've seen a few people running this type of thing (in a much smaller scale) via Airbnb. They seem to mostly cater to people visiting the area that want to camp in Yosemite or similar but don't want to travel with all their own gear. I've thought about doing that since my gear sits in a closet most of the time.

Of course this is different. I like the idea. Good luck.
This article says salting hashes is only useful against rainbow tables. That does not make sense to me. Say you have a password database with 10,000 users in it. You want to see if any of them used "Passw0rd$". Without salt, you compute the hash once and check it against all the users (perhaps with a bloom filter). With per-user salts, you have to compute the hash for each user.

I think salting offers pretty clear benefits against other attacks if you have more than one user.

Edit: The point I'm trying to make here is that it is N_USERS times better to have a unique salt per user, regardless of the hash. One should use bcrypt/scrypt/pbkdf2 with unique per-user salts.

This makes sense, but--forgive my ignorance--what site needs to process millions of password authentications per second? Don't most sites hash/compare the password once at login, then issue an ephemeral token to maintain the authenticated state? Is Facebook, for example, hashing my actual password for every HTTP request that my Facebook mobile app makes?
Heh. There actually does seem to be an installable app in the Windows Phone store. (Curious about the "B&W Camera" screenshot.)

Don't mean to be rude or anything but as a common trend I'd like to try to discourage active use of "DevOps" as a job title.

http://www.bitlancer.com/2015/03/3-reasons-never-put-devops-...

since everyone has a different opinion on what a "DevOps" actually is, it's much too ambiguous a term for a job title.

Do you mean a developer with operations experience? (common case),
or a Infrastructure engineer who can orchestrate/automate and follows an agile methodology?

Cool idea for a simple problem that I commonly encounter myself. I'd try it if I had a Facebook account. Other commenters mention existing apps with this functionality built in, but I like seeing these stripped-down solutions if you don't have, want or need the other apps. Which is sort of why the Facebook requirement is disappointing.
Maybe each request needs to be authenticated?

> "it's just better not to have to configure every system to interpret tabs to your given number of spaces"

The entire point of "tabs to indent; spaces to align" is that you don't need to make sure everyone displays tabs the same way. If we are using that scheme and I have mine set to 4 spaces but you have yours set to 8, everything is fine. There is no problem there.

It's equivalent of attacking md5('deliciously-salty-'), since the password can be known, e.g., by using the hash from their own account.

Attacking md5 is not really that hard, nowadays - the article mentions 180 billion tries/second.

Yes, it requires a rig with 25 GPUs, but this is almost the perfect use for the "cloud" - you can rent those for a few bucks just for a specific attack. There are even dedicated services nowadays, with no programming knowledge required - you just submit the hashes, and out come the found passwords.

This is a terrifying addition to the legal arsenal that will be used to prosecute future Aaron Schwartz's.

>Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of this order.

This means Obama has unilaterally decided he can freeze your assets at will before any sort of notice or court hearing and say "I suspect you of hacking/DDOSing/whatever".
That's right travelers are a segment of our users! The majority though, are folks who are not very outdoorsy but going for the first time and not interested in spending a ton of money upfront.

I know there are a lot of businesses sprouting in this arena, many of which are focused on the p2p aspect. One of the reasons we've so shied away from that is because we're worried that the very underlying behavior we're incentivizing is buying more stuff--once you figure out you can monetize it and make a profit. Not everyone can buy an apartment as an income generating property, but everyone can buy a tent.

At some point it might equilibriate out and have a net impact of lower consumption anyway, but it's harder to go this route when our mission is purely focused on reducing unnecessary consumption and changing cultural perception of need to buy.

Thanks for your thoughts!
In my experience, the difficult part is getting people to understand it.

> >Personally I'm pro-immigration and anti-H1B

> That statement is self contradicting, since H1B is the only way to immigrate to USA.

No, its not self-contradicting. One, because H-1B isn't the only way to immigrate to the USA (there's a whole bunch of immigrant visa categories [0], H-1B is just one visa category, and technically its a non-immigrant category that allows dual intent -- that is, its a non-immigrant visa holders of which are not prohibited from also seeking permanent residency.)

And, two, because one can support immigration but think all the existing mechanisms are undesirable, and be pro-immigrant but oppose all of the status quo immigration mechanisms, preferring new mechanisms. So even if H-1B was the only existing US immigration avenue, the statement wouldn't be self-contradictory.

[0] A partial list -- Family based: IR1, IR2, IR3, IR4, IR5, CR1, CR2, F1, F2, F3, F4, F2A, F2B, IH3, IH4; Employer based: E1, E2, E3, EW3, C5, T5, R5, I5.

EDIT: to respond to edit of parent...

> Edit: Unless you already have family here willing to sponsor your PR.

And this is still wrong, because while family-based immigration is the main route in the US, there are also employer-based immigrant categories, and even additional dual-intent non-immigrant visas (what the H-1B is that allows it to be used for immigration) besides the H-1B.
