"with unconventional names like Vagrant, Consul and Terraform" But Kubernetes and Istio are a completely normal names? Welcome to open source, mainstream media ;)

Glad OverOps did this report again. It's always so interesting to find that tools I thought were old, outdated, and probably replaced by competitors are still going strong, like Jetty and Netty.

I still think it is. There's still been no push in the open source community to make tooling around Unikernels to make it user to a broader audience and a broader set of use cases.

Really interesting post. I'm going to look for a video or see if there's even more detail on some of these stages.

I'd also recommend reading Troy Hunt's blog regularly. It's especially helpful for keeping up with whether account information on any site has been compromised. Look up his tool "have i been pwned"

If you're meant to be a programmer, you won’t give up. You will get frustrated, but if you're determined, you'll keep trying. A bootcamp can't give you that motivation.

Some low-cost coding lessons on Code School, Treehouse, NetTuts+, Udacity, Pluralsight, or Launch Academy are also a good option, and they cost far less than does a bootcamp. MooCs are also a good way to find out if you like coding. If you're still coding on your own after a MooC, then you might be interested enough.

Try building a new application every day. Jennifer Dewalt, the founder of Zube, did this and blogged about it. With each new project, she added to her portfolio and gained new skills. Quantity trumps quality when you’re learning. Just build lots of things.

Education. It's what Obama was emphasizing his entire presidency. Those jobs are never coming back, and even more are going to be automated. The education gap between rich and poor (and white and minority) is getting larger because of hoodlum-fearing mothers who support segregated neighborhoods and schools. Plus the poor-parent schools stay poor and the rich-parent schools stay rich.

All of these factors together (which Democrats are actually interested in addressing) are growing an underclass of under-educated, unconnected people who can't make it in the world of the middle and upper class, so violence may become more frequent and jails will fill up. I doubt that the Trump administration and Congress have a plan that could come close to fixing this.

I've seen lots of courses like this. https://www.securityjourney.com/ https://new-www.securecodewarrior.com/ Coursera and Udacity have a bunch too.

Can anyone explain what's special about this University of Helsinki one that it made it to the front page of HN?

My suspected reasons 1 work/life balance 2 most of the company is not as amazing as you think 3 managers are still just managers 4 working in silicon valley with that cost of living 5 developers can be happier and make what they want working for themselves, doing consulting, freelance, or a startup.

Someone also mentioned that Nim should be in this list. I wonder if anyone has a good description of that one.

I'm not totally sold on Bias' viewpoint. He wrote another interesting article declaring the death of hypervisors and the eventual takeover of containers: http://cloudscaling.com/blog/cloud-computing/will-containers... When I talked to a guy who had worked on the Xen hypervisor for years, he kept going back to Randy's key requirement for all this to be true: "if configured properly" So this other guy's response was "SELINUX is an armed camp if configured properly, yet we have everyone from major banks to the Pentagon being hacked. Truth is that few people have adequate time to configure security properly in the real world. Something that is "probably" as good as the status quo is a very scary statement for those of us living in the real world."

Thank you for this! If anyone is interested in the evolution of pop music over time (especially the last 20 years) and how hits are made, read "The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory"
