New comment by throwawayjava in "Computer science as a lost art (2015)"

> What else are you going to do? Look at the stuff "deep" people are generally into, it mostly revolves around POSIX some way or another. And databases, but nobody wants to talk about that.

Self-driving cars (controls, perception, planning, safety, sensor design, localization, mapping, integration, security, etc.), human-competitive NLP/image classification, advanced robotics (repeat list from cars here but for things in the air, off-road, on the water, in the water, in orbit, in deep space, ...).

Those are all examples of real things that real people get to work on every day.

Operating systems topics don't even scrape the top 20 of stuff I think of when I think of deep expertise.

And even if we limit ourselves to the sort of things you mention, most people who work deeply on languages, tools, and standards view these as manifestations of their deep exploration rather than the focus or subject of the dive.

For example, TensorFlow. The framework very much is the product. But even if some other framework won the day tomorrow, the people who worked on TensorFlow would not have "wasted" their time thinking deeply about how to build the system.

This is why researchers whose original contributions were made in the 70s and 80s none-the-less continue to establish themselves as desired experts in new technology trends (e.g., Leslie Lamport and cloud computing or Martin Abadi and ML frameworks). Because they were focused on ideas and fundamental problems. The problems never disappeared, just changed form. And ideas have a lot more staying power than their manifestation in code.

Most people working deeply on systems today are not "revolving around POSIX in some way". See the proceedings of OSDI. And most deep experts choose other topics, most of which your post doesn't mention: graphics, programming languages (making them and analyzing programs written in them), compilers, security, robotics, user interfaces, NLP, ...

Your definition of "expert" seems to revolve around using things, mostly things based on ideas and techniques that were well-understood already 20 years ago and that are related to building a particular type of software system. Which, if anything, seems to deepen the author's point.

Someone gets to fill the AI research labs, staff the self-driving car companies, work at NASA, build core infra at large tech companies, and build the foundation for the next 20 years of trendy growth areas.

It's possible to get to those places without a degree, of course, but a degree is by far the path of least resistance. And in most of these cases, learning the material from the degree isn't optional; you're probably going to have hard time doing that controls engineering job at a self-driving car company if you never made your way through a calc sequence, some physics, and an algorithms course.

It's also worth noting that very often, building wordpress plugins pays more than doing all of those things I mentioned. I guess it's all about what you want to spend your life doing, which is exactly what the author says at the end of the article.

New comment by Tomte in "How to read Plato (1995)"

> I'd already run into them in other contexts.

But that‘s exactly the point behind the footnotes remark that you seem to dislike.

Plato owned philosophy so completely that everyone, even centuries later, still referenced him.

You coming across ideas first via some more recent source does not invalidate him any more than Wordpress invalidates the importance of Movable Type.

New comment by JayNeely in "Why Salt Was So Important Throughout History"

I'd encourage you to expand the book-promoting paragraph to include a bit more info / some interest-generating hooks about what the book offers that the article itself hasn't already provided.

If you really want to make this model sustainable long-term I might even make the recommendation paragraph dynamically customized based on referring source (here's a WordPress plugin that would let you do this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/if-so/). History enthusiasts are likely to be intrigued by a different set of things from the book than HN's business & systems-thinkers or an RPG community interested in world-building inspiration.

Lots of people will read a general-interest article (quick & no cost), but to get conversions to an actual sale, you need to target specific interests.

New comment by smt88 in "Java will kill your startup. PHP will save it"

I can and will say that we can ignore WordPress when suggesting that PHP is good because it's popular.

The value of popularity for PHP comes from larger talent pools, better libraries, etc. WordPress doesn't contribute to those.

New comment by icc97 in "Java will kill your startup. PHP will save it"

> I suspect that if you removed WordPress, Drupal, etc. from the calculation, you'd see PHP plummet to the bottom

You can't just say "... if I ignore the ~30% of the internet that WordPress powers".

But anyway, after that... Wikipedia, Laravel, Symphony, CakePHP.

At the bottom of that pile... I built a CakePHP front end for a startup that after 8 years and was sold for $50m. Didn't require massive scaling, but the code had to be released on Windows servers in internet disconnected sites. The PHP code didn't require a single fix to production in the last 6 of the 8 years.

New comment by smt88 in "Java will kill your startup. PHP will save it"

I spent about 10 years in a niche: maintaining legacy PHP software. I have been down some very deep rabbitholes of PHP black magic. I have written 10+ medium-to-large applications from scratch in PHP, 4 of which are still running in production more than 8 years later.

I feel qualified to say the following:

- Java will not kill your startup. Bad coding MIGHT. But it also might not.

- PHP will not save your startup. Good coding MIGHT. But it also might not.

- You can write good/bad software in Java. I've seen both.

- You can write bad software in PHP. I've never seen good software in PHP (including my own). At this point, it's becoming hard to believe it is possible to write good software in PHP.

Mostly this is a problem with the awful design of the language. Adding better typing is helping, but at that point, why not just use something else?

Also, most arguments in favor of PHP mention its popularity. I suspect that if you removed WordPress, Drupal, etc. from the calculation, you'd see PHP plummet to the bottom. I don't know any young people who learn it anymore, and I haven't met a startup building their product in PHP in many years.

New comment by daxterspeed in "A new security header: Feature Policy"

I understand your sentiment but I do wonder what the extent would actually be. The largest website are more than capable of adapting, and older sites are more likely to either not use any JavaScript or only accept http traffic (which is already a lost cause). I suppose the ones would take the biggest hit would be the people running WordPress blogs with various (already insecure) site plugins.

Suppose if these security changes would slowly get imposed over all https traffic in a coordinated fashion among the major browser vendors over a large time span? https requires some periodic maintenance anyway, so it shouldn't add an unreasonable workload.

I worry that this isn't happening because the ad industry (including Google) doesn't want to take responsibility over distributing untrustworthy and insecure code.

Hyper alone takes nearly a gigabyte of RAM. Interested to hear HN's alternatives.

New comment by bradknowles in "Ask HN: Why is everyone so obsessed with serverless?"

Doing "Operations" can be hard for some people to understand, and harder still to actually get right. Going "serverless" gives you the opportunity to outsource a lot of that work to someone else.

However, "serverless" also comes with a heavy price to pay in terms of debugging your code. It works perfectly (more or less), assuming you can actually write perfect code. But can anyone in this world actually write perfect code?

The bigger and more complex your code base, the more difficult it will be to debug it, and the more difficult it will be to get it to work correctly in a "serverless" environment.

For some people, going "serverless" will make a lot of sense for them. Just like some people do fine with WordPress so that all they have to do is type out their content and outsource all the hard work for publishing a web site based on that content.

But you will also pay a higher and higher monetary cost for going "serverless", as you scale up. At some point, it will no longer make sense to outsource that to someone else, and you will want to bring that in-house.

Do you understand how locks work? Or plumbing? If you need to replace or rekey the lock on your front door, can you do that yourself? Or do you outsource that to a Locksmith? If you need to replace your toilet, can you do that yourself or do you outsource that to a plumber? What if your A/C unit goes out? What if your car breaks down?

There are going to be some things that some people are good at doing, and they're good enough at doing it themselves that they don't want or need to outsource that work to someone else.

And then there are going to be some things that those same people probably are not good at doing, and those should be done by someone else -- either outsourced, or someone else in-house who works in partnership with you.

New comment by dsego in "The Thirty Million Line Problem"

We pile code on top of code, layers and layers, problems accumulate and multiply over time. Almost exponential LOC growth of an OS (just the linux kernel) up to 18 million lines in 2015. How many LOC does it take to read a text file from a website? Not less than 56 million.

Example: Chrome -> Linux -> openWRT -> router -> FreeBSD -> Apache -> PHP -> Wordpress -> MySQL

The 30-million-line problem:

Even with new web technology "hotness" we're stuck with an OS on either side. Stuck with a bloated mass underneath anything we do. Rewriting is not really an option.

New comment by h1d in "Slack Is Buying HipChat from Atlassian"

I wish the search feature to be more straightforward. It seems to be trying to be smart about searching close matches but it just misses exact matches and when I really have to search some messages I have to search it with SQL in the database. It's not good when I can't tell my members to use the search feature when I know it's unreliable.

For instance, I try to search for "pass" hoping to dig out the password someone pasted and it shows results containing words like "wordpress" and "css" that petty much buries the actual matches even if they're somewhere way down in the result.

Is not going to college for a developer viable in the current year?

I'm getting near college age, and I'm faced with a common question: "Should I go to college?" With my grades, I could get some good (possibly free ride) scholarships for decent technical colleges, but I don't feel that they'd be worthwhile, considering all my current programming knowledge has been obtained via the internet at zero cost and without structured classes. A four-year college would mean four years of my life where I could be learning in the real world, for much, much less, and without all the overhead of other, irrelevant classes. And this doesn't even factor in the financial aspect, which doesn't seems very good, given the mounting costs of universities in the US.

What do you think, and what was your experience with college or the lack thereof?

The major cloud providers (aws, google, azure) are starting to expand to my product space, however, and I'm increasing concerned with my long-term prospects. I think it might make sense to pursue acquisition/aqui-hire, while my product and expertise can still add value to these cloud providers. I would really appreciate advice from the HN community on how to achieve the best possible outcome, including how to proactively pursue acquisition/aqui-hire at a large company. Thanks!

New comment by girzel in "Django EAV 2 – Entity-Attribute-Value Storage for Django"

Come to think of it, several years ago I had to migrate a website from Wordpress (I think it was Wordpress) to Django. The Wordpress database schema was nothing but EAV tables: Every damn thing had all of its attributes listed in a separate table, and object retrieval traversed several tables each time.

I suppose this was necessary or at least useful for a general-use web framework like Wordpress, where no one knows what kinds of attributes various users will want to create, and therefore table _columns_ are stored as table _data_, and no one ever has to do any migration.

But it was dog-slow. The switch to Django halved the number of tables in the site, and the whole thing went about three times as fast (plenty of other reasons for that, though).

Granted, now I have to do Django migrations rather than Wordpress web-console manipulation, but as someone said in a different post, Django migrations aren't that hard these days.

New comment by andypants in "ActivityPub could be the future"

If you don't want a specific person's comments? You'll need moderation or blocking tools.

If you don't want any comments from the fediverse in general? Well then activity pub doesn't benefit you at all and you have no need for it.

> Is this essentially just the same as the trackbacks I already get from other Wordpress posts that link to my page, but with every single tweet (or rather, “toot” (oh, pardon me, how rude. Can you please tell me where the bathroom is?)) generating a trackback?

You can interact with people's content from any interoperable website/service/client basically. It's not just a link on some site or a meaningless metric that gets bumped up. The comments may very well be from people who actually did read your blog post and genuinely want to interact. They just don't have to actually visit your site to do any of those things.

And will all of your followers’ comments show up too?

Is this essentially just the same as the trackbacks I already get from other Wordpress posts that link to my page, but with every single tweet (or rather, “toot” (oh, pardon me, how rude. Can you please tell me where the bathroom is?)) generating a trackback?

As the author says, you can follow my blog from your Mastodon account, so you see my posts as Mastodon toots, and you can reply to them and leave a comment on my post. I don't know why there isn't a Wordpress plugin, I guess nobody wrote one yet.

New comment by jessriedel in "Welcome to the New Space Age"

I wish I had good recommendations for you. Quanta can be quite good, but it misses sometimes. Most coverage of fundamental physics, especially theory, fails (for obvious reasons) to provide the key context that progress in the field is very slow and getting slower.

There are a few excellent specialist blogs, like Resonaances for particle physics,

http://resonaances.blogspot.com/

but they are not very accessible to outsiders. Sean Carroll, Sabine Hossenfelder, and Peter Woit are pretty good and accessible

http://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/ http://backreaction.blogspot.com/ http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/

but they aren't neutral; that's fine since they are personal blogs, but it can be difficult for laymen to get an objective picture of the field.

New comment by coreymaass in "Ask HN: Which self-hosted solutions are you using?"

I'd never thought of WordPress plugins as self-hosted apps until I built my WordPress plugin, Kanban for WordPress [1]. It can be thought of as a self-hosted Trello. I've since seen a self-hosted Buffer, Pocket, Evernote, Delicious/Pinboard, all on WordPress.

New comment by scruffyherder in "The secret call to Andy Grove that may have helped Apple buy NeXT"

As a shameless plug, the Darwin 0.1/0.3 sources which align with OS X Server 1.0 & 1.2 actually still compiled on intel just fine. Even better you could take a Rhapsody DR2 system, and overlay the newer stuff on top of it, and it'd still happily run.

New comment by pwaai in "Knative – Kubernetes-based platform to manage modern serverless workloads"

interesting...by floor and ceiling is that like the minimum and maximum threshold for latency?

here's my pain point. I built a serverless REST API with token authentication on Lambda. However, if many people aren't using it all the time it will sleep and then the next sucker who calls the endpoint is stuck with waiting for the serverless instance to wake up.

In some cases even getting a token from a simple POST request would take an awful long time. This was a few years ago and I stopped using serverless since then.

But now I'm interested in serverless because I've been hearing that the cold startup problem is being reduced.

I wonder if in the future developers will be just taking core logics from serverless repository and wiring up the components, sort of like how wordpress does it without the crazy layers of PHP and bloat.

Im running a $5(+$2 for backups) 1GB linode and getting around 50k views a month on a properly configured wordpress with caching and 30 plugins with nginx on Centos 7. Sometimes 25-50 ppl at the same time. Site is pretty fast(faster than most- maybe because lack of a dozen of trackers). With 2GB ram and 1 more core it would be super fast. Im using Centmin mod stackscript for managing nginx.

New comment by Theodores in "Crazy Image EXIF Orientation Bug (or Feature?)"

One thing I one day want to try is to include some unique search terms in an image EXIF description to see if Googlebot picks it up in a way that is subsequently searchable.

As for Wordpress people using third party services to remove bloat from images in a paid for, tediously manual way - don't! Configure your server to do it with Google's mod_pagespeed. You can serve src_set images whilst you are at it that way making the web quicker and more eco friendly.

As I was coding away on the Placid ( https://placid.app ) Wordpress-Plugin I noticed I needed a simpler way to look at og:images and twitter:cards and created an uncomplicated injected Container to do that in my Wordpress installation.

After that, I wanted it for "ALL THE SITES" - and so a little Chrome Extension fell out of it :)

New comment by tonyarkles in "Ask HN: As a CTO, what is your most frustrating problem with technical debt?"

Sure, but do you really expect the one-person maintainer of a random Wordpress plugin to be backporting security fixes? In an ideal world I'd love to see that, but my guess is that that's not often going to be the case.

Then the question becomes: is it more effort to backport this fix into a codebase I don't know? Or is it more effort to bring everything else up to using the new version. Either way, it's going to suck :)
