I'm sure it can get you plenty if you have realistic expectations.

Based strictly on cost of living, my current salary would be just a hair under $126k/yr in SF, and I live quite comfortably. Better than most of my friends who aren't in tech. Housing, certainly the most expensive aspect of living in SF, is 233% higher than my current location. I could, if I wanted to, pay that right now on my non-SF salary, but only because I don't want to live in a giant house or a penthouse apartment.

If you were to spend 30% of your $126k a year salary on housing that's nearly $3,100 a month. You can find plenty[0] at that rate.

TLDR: I don't know what you're definition of "much of anything" is, but $120k is certainly enough for an upper-middle class lifestyle, even in SF.
Perhaps because rigid constraints are useless with the number of different devices out today, and layouts should instead be highly adaptive?
Most new things are easy to implement if someone is willing to put a concentrated effort into them and support it with resources. For example, it took only 12 years from the first artificial satellite to putting a man on the Moon. The real bottleneck here is the market; you need to wait for it to be ready in order to get the required resources and a pressure for concentrated effort. Apparently, the market became ready for self-driving cars only recently.
Wow. It boggles my mind that any contractor working for Facebook would be making anything near that low.

An Exciting Twist on Fundraising
I know the team at Knyttan (http://www.knyttan.com) which has awesome tech to enable industrial-size looms to do knitting on-demand.

If Jacquard fabric was used on Knyttan-enabled looms, anyone (designers, anyone else) could effectively print/knit one-off pieces of connected clothing.

The future is awesome. :)

A thought on piracy- don't worry about it. A user is a user and some users can easily afford $1k/yr for their software and others couldn't scrape together $9.99 (think international). You get to count pirates and nonpirates both as users at this early stage in your company, and it's users that make your project worth something (so long as you can accurately count them), not license revenue.

Very few successful app developers will risk the rug being pulled out from under them, which I'm sure you'll retain the power to do. That can either come from breaking their pirated API key and bricking their installed apps or a clean, well-worded time-to-pay-plus-penalties letter from your attorney.

Highly pirated properties from Game of Thrones episodes to Metallica tracks all derive benefits from merchandising and live performances that owe some of their underpinning to popularity through piracy. Since you'll never prevent piracy, might as well anticipate and leverage it into more value for your shareholders.

Vanity Credit Cards Are the Dodo Birds of Credit
There are more use-cases than just cloud web apps.

The case I mentioned was an HPC cluster. There is a ton of interest in using containers more in HPC, just for the flexibility in administration and versioning aspects. But there is a catch - you need to ensure that each user is completely isolated from the others, users can't have root access, and they can't escape from their containers. These users need to have access to both the host and the jail for practical reasons (mainly due to the way the common batch schedulers end up working and data/storage access).

Thus far, those restrictions have made it difficult to deploy Docker (or other containers) on clusters. It is possible to deploy VMs with some schedulers, but it largely hasn't caught on in many places.
Great to have. Alas it relies on a central system of record, is just a feed that can be re-fetched. The 'originator' key is probably worth standardizing around for any future approaches, but using PEX or the DHT to notify the most recent magnet uri or what not.

Simply signaling new Magnet URI's would have the disadvantage Gittorrent sought to avoid: resyndicating the entire contents with every single change: a killer for things like the Linux kernel or projects like Debtorrent. Git's merkle-dag avoids this problem, allows multiple concurrent versions to share the bulk of the content-indexing, and best-of-all-worlds solutions would preserve this capability.
Think of a blade chassis in a datacenter.

If blade1 needs to talk to blade2, running it through a firewall means that the communications needs to flow out of the blade back to the datacenter network (ie. flowing north to the top of the rack switch). That adds latency and requires more network and firewall capacity, as all traffic needs to leave the chassis.

If there is no firewall requirement, traffic flows east/west within the chassis on the blade backplane. Security can be layered with host firewall or similar technology. (ie. IPSec, proprietary solutions like Unisys Stealth)

One dev (who I gave a plum job to) used exactly those arguments. When trying to dissuade me from helping marginalized coworkers with thieving bosses. I shrugged, and decided to stop helping his sociopathic entitled white male self. (And got him to occasionally help people nobler than him, as I had sufficient power to do so.)
Why should a developer working 40 hours a week earn more than say someone cleaning toilets 40 hours a week? Both are investing 40 hours of their time, both add value worth 40 hours of work. Actually cleaning toilets seems a way less pleasant job and should be paid better. On the other hand the developer spend more time in education not getting paid and has to recapture this investment. They would probably not end up with the exact same wages but I see no justification for enormous differences.

The supply and demand situation is of course very different allowing developers to ask for high wages and on the other hand allows forcing the toilet cleaner to work for a low wage but this does by no means make this fair.

Ask HN: What's a good template to create an ember cookbook?
I am working on creating an ember cookbook for ember js recipes. It will be open source on github pages at eibrahim.github.io/embercookbook

I am looking into using Jekyll to create the site. I got it up and running but not sure if it is overkill for a project like this.

Questions:

- do you know a good theme/template to use for a cookbook?

- do you know another good cookbook site that you have seen online?

I want to keep this simple and easy for others to contribute recipes. Is github pages even the right approach?

Thanks.
I'm not sure I see the parallels to 1984 here. This seems more like a Freudian Slip [1].

I have a deck somewhere illustrating this. My team supported something like 500 installed applications with more than 50 users across a 30,000 user base in 2004 or so. Programmers were churning out PowerBuilder and VB apps, all of which sucked to varying degrees.

Today, I'm not on that team, but the number is something like 50-75. I cannot remember the last time I saw a new bespoke client/server app.

You're right there is an etymology question (the term ramen is clearly Chinese in etymological origin, the other names clearly refer to China) and the historical origin of noodles in Japan generally. I think given the etymological evidence of all terms (ramen and pre-ramen) combined with geographic proximity it would be exceptionally hard to argue that's not China as well.

As far as putting words in to my mouth or motivations in to other people's brains when discussing history, please don't do that, it doesn't lead to constructive conversation.

I wish I had a source, but I seem to remember an engineer for google's self-driving cars or a precursor of them saying that in those cases, the only solution they could come up was to switch off the car's decision making and let nature take its course. In the Trolley Problem, this is akin to letting the train mow down the three people so the decision maker doesn't have to take the accountability for choosing to kill the one other person. Which is a pretty common answer. (Most people wouldn't push a person off a bridge to block the trolley, either.)

Are you suggesting that nobody should class themselves as a developer, and/or that as self-identified developers, who I can agree are just people with a range of skills (and I never suggested otherwise), we should not attempt to write a document attempting to explain accounting to other self-proclaimed developers, who, in our decades of experience, tend to have certain viewpoints, vocabulary, and interests in common?

Finally, while I'm delighted that you agree the title isn't absolutely fascist (which you never claimed in the original post and suggest in your response it to be partially), racist or sexist, I'm entirely baffled as to why you felt compelled to post a comment stating it in absolute terms in the first place.

The problem is not with deltas between revisions (i.e. the commits themselves) but with the Git packs spanning multiple revisions.

"Webster remembers one industry Cassandra, Maurice Oberstein – who ran CBS and then Polygram in the UK – making a similar point. “He was the only one who went: ‘We’re making a huge mistake.

Once you made a CD with ones and zeroes it was only a matter of time before that was converted into something that was easily transferable.”"

Emphasis mine.

Well, the Loudness War fixed that problem right up, didn't it? Now CDs aren't "studio-quality masters" anymore.

I hate to be obstinate, but:

1) Most robust "security" of this form is negated if you're running it on a budget VPS. Those things are often extremely and unavoidably insecure for reasons out of your control (out-of-date VM software, insecure control panels, incompetent VM neighbors, etc.).

2) OpenBSD is probably the best option for this. Just use OpenSMTPD and choose a simple secure IMAP server from the ports. OpenBSD is perfectly suited for simple, security-critical applications like mail servers.
Thanks a lot for this. This might be handy next time.

I was thinking the other day: A simple open Go/Rust based self contained mail server (SMTP, IMAP) with a straight forward deployment would be a thing.

Eh? What's your basis for this claim? They are pretty much always on the latest & greatest. ECHDE_RSA, certificate pinning, universal 2nd factor (FIDO), strong sandboxing & permissions (you may not remember, but those were things Google took mainstream with Chrome & Android). Google's also the company that took security vulnerability rewards and made that a thing.

Plenty of things to dislike Google about (privacy is always an easy target, for example), but security really isn't one of them. They have one of the best trackrecords you can have here.

Pylxd – Python module for LXD
If this observation is meaningful, shouldn't it also be the case that firewall deployments aren't meaningful to enterprise security?

Because: that seems intuitively not to be the case.

To wit: on an annual site-wide pentest of any major enterprise network (this is a project every security firm does for a couple clients a year), the moment the pentester gets "behind the firewall" (ie: code execution on any application server) is invariably game-over.

If firewalls were just some stupid crap the industry made up, shouldn't they make no difference at all? Shouldn't attackers just make a beeline for wherever the high-value information is, rather than scanning the perimeter and looking for some chink to use to get behind the firewall?

My argument would be: whether firewalls are "stupid crap" or not, they certainly do seem to matter right now.

You are perfectly right to question the piratical adjective to describe the entire empire in Marco-Polo contemporary times; that was my error - recently I read a history of the Venetian seafaring which made out that basically the city grew entirely from a den of swamp-dwelling brigands and ruffians who dwelt there to escape the long arm of other mainland powers. How accurate that picture is I don't know (I assume pretty fair though, given the geography and technology of the time), but looking at the history it seems 400-500 years had passed before Marco Polo... so it's not exactly current characterization regardless!

Github's payment plans don't work out well for a team that's doing lots of small repositories.

My team is pretty small (5 devs) and we easily have 150+ repositories for different packages that all get wrapped into our main product. Github charges per private repository and 125 repositories maxes out github's organizational plans. Hence, we are currently on bitbucket.

The team also didn't want to have to make a business justification everytime someone wanted to fork a repository or throw something together experimental. We would rather just be free to create as many repositories as we please and not have to concern ourselves with the question of whether it should be a public or private repo.
GitHub's issue tracker is pretty bare bones. I always thought that was sort of reflective of its culture.
