If you regulate that Target can't compete, than that is one less competitor.

that solves the problem for suppliers, but creates one for consumers with lower competition. Less competition, higher prices.

*just noticed I was down voted, likely by MichaelApproved because he has 7500 Karma and I only have 156.

I'm starting to really hate contributing to HackerNews discussions because it's fully of a bunch of bullies who pound on your karma if you don't agree with their viewpoints. Bring on the downvotes, I know HN hates any mention of it's imperfections as well. At least my conscious is clear.

Ha! sso.tax, what a great site. As an IT person I always thought this same thing with SSO - even if you have an identity provider, it's often under utilized because nearly everything else needs to go to enterprise pricing for SAML auth. I wouldn't mind paying $1-2 more per user/platform, but as sso.tax tallies, the price jump is often much more.

As someone currently interviewing, with 10ys exp scaling multiple successful companies, I couldn't agree more. Some of the tech questions I've been asked are so useless in practice it's unnerving.

True when you have all the dependencies already compiled. If you are working with it in Docker though, it needs to compile the whole shebang the first time you start it up. It usually took 3+ minutes to get the day started. And any time an additional library was added to config, had to be restarted again.

As opposed to something like go, which compiles in seconds typically. Naturally, different folks will have different experiences depending on how it's used. For myself, the long compile time was a turn off.

In me experience using Phoenix, it takes an eternity to compile. I imagine that turns a lot of folks off to begin with.

This is a great way explain kubernetes. I'm a veteran user and I'm finding it delightful to read. Consider selling an e-book :)

i love rclone. my only gripe is that the "sync" command doesn't really seem to act like a sync - it overwrites the target directory with the source directory, there is no synchronization between the two. It was just unexpected behavior the first time I did it.

Other than that, it awesome how it works with so many data storage providers. If it helps anyone, the last time I looked at pricing (a couple months ago) IBM had the cheapest per GB cloud storage of all the providers. I already have 1TB of Google Cloud for $2/mo, so I'm using that to keep my life simple, however, it's slow as far as data stores go.

super disappointing it was only in beta.

how will the API work for developers? Personally I think the attention Slack put into their API is the reason it is so popular and will continue to own the space until there is a competitor with their api/bot building abilities.

Hrm....and why do those state actors work against Venezuelas interest? Perhaps they have aligned themselves with other other oppressive global regimes which nationalize resources to be managed by friends and family rather than competitive enterprises? And who did that alignment? Yep, poorly run government.

That aside, their monetary policy has also been a train wreck from the 70's, and compounded with more bad decisions in the early 2000's. https://mises.org/wire/venezuelas-economic-collapse-was-enab...

Until they fix core issues in their central government/bank, they will continue to struggle in a global economy.

Nerds work on locomotives and heavy machinery too. Those hard working folks are smart also. Unless your talking in a pirate voice, this is a nerd term for anything that kills something instantly.

my heart goes out to all Venezuelans right now. Their poorly run government pretty much bet the entire farm on oil and with the depreciation in recent years it was already tough living there. At a price close to 0, it can not be good.

i've used a lawn mower many many times and there is no part of it I would have called a "dead mans switch". I'm sure it's technically there, but knowing the name is hardly a requirement. Also, i'm certain there is not a 1:1 overlap between abuse victims and lawn mower users.

i don't think the target audience of this app wants to think about being a "dead man", or dead anything, when this app would be useful. It's a fun nerd term, but if your life is actually in danger it's far from where your mind wants to wander, even though it's technically correct.

I would also recommend 'the mom test' audiobook. It's a wonderful book for new entrepreneurs.

I've been running K8s since it's first stable released. It worked wonderfully for a 30 micro-service stack of node.js and Scala applications for a financial services company. I would never want to manage that many services in ec2 or ecs instances.

I also baked a 25+service AI platform onto 4 virtual machines, running kubernetes, for deployment in an air-gapped system without a knowladgable operator. It was an excellent choice for that project because of the auto-healing capabilities.

I have also run it at a small startup where we had a combination of static nginx sites, ruby on rails sites, elixer sights, node.js app, and even a c++ app. (it was at a crypto company if you are wondering why so many disparate languages). Having a single deploy pipeline for 5+ different languages and architectures was awesome. I would have killed myself if I needed to support all of those in their native environments at the same time.

There are lots of good use cases for k8s, and honestly it's not that hard if you already have system admin skills because you understand the problems it solves and how it works. Most of the folks I have seen struggle with it are developers (and likewise, I struggle with OOP sometimes - i don't mean to diminish developers skills).

So.....basically nothing has changed and the headline is extremely misleading.

Edit: so apparently this applies to the "subject" tests. I never took those and didn't know they were a thing, now I do.

I've seen that before, it has some good points. I don't think an experienced person has to - or always does - get like I described. But it does happen.

The question was "why higher less senior people?" My answer, and perhaps I wasn't clear, was that for your first 1-5 devs, you should definitely higher senior...but once you break past that then your senior devs - you know the ones who launched all that boring technology - then want Jr devs to mold into doing things the right way from the start.

Another reason is 'experienced' developers can sometimes be difficult to work with. They can be arrogant and bull headed, 'my way or the highway' sorta attitudes. Negative to others with new ideas, etc. Teams that already have some vets on them like working with Jr folks precisely because they are moldable.

Why do you think they owe you that? You think they don't cry enough when they go home to it? Of what purpose would this info help you or anyone?

I just switched to Linux on an lightly used LG gram after being on Mac for 10 years. $1300, 1TB nvme, 24gb ram, 15" edgeless screen, weighs less than 3lbs, and charger is lighter. Also has a full touch screen. Do I miss retina display? Yes, although I get just as much on screen since it's 15". Would I go back for 2x the price? No way.

And by "open", you mean $5/month barrier. I don't even like the social apps I get for free, I doubt many will pay for it. And I'm certainly not going to start contributing content to make your platform successful without a cut. As much as we dislike youtube's imperfections, at the end of the day there is a reasonable attempt to pay creators for their content which makes the platform money. I don't see that here.

No. I had more in 2017 because my money was just sitting in cash.

No.

Some people are. And I will one day, so not sure why you think it doesn't matter. Will it return? Sure. But that still leaves 1-2 years with no growth.

Bummed I didn't see this so obviously before my 401k lost 25% :(

Erlang is probably the closest thing to this, but unfortunately everything it runs also needs to be written in erlang. If erlang could run containers as processes it would take over the world, all of the features from kubernetes has been baked in since the late 90's.

Thank you, that is precisely what I was looking for.

THANK YOU! Thiss, and exactly this. I will boycott any store that implements this.
