I do understand what you mean. Being an HNer may sound like becoming one of the echo-chamber but you might want to look at these statistics [1] and then decide for yourself:

Hundreds and thousands of civilian deaths for what cost? Who paid the price of waging such a war (crime according to some), the taxpayers?

As to measure the 'crime' in the video called collateral damage ... follow the transcript here:

Sure! Thanks for asking. I'm laying a solid foundation with all the primitives of Javascript, then I'm building ontop some really elegant controls - so the libraries won't have any assumption, but you still get some powerful features. I eventually hope to create a tactile-spatial programming language with it.

All code is just three things: Data, Manipulation, and Communication. Theory represents having good control over data, with strong type checking.
Personally, I'd be interested in some data and reasoning to further understand your point of view. Without elaborating, the points you make come across a bit terse and declarative, whereas this comment makes me think you actually have a deep understanding of the subject and good reasons for stating the points you made.

As a standalone developer, I can think of several companies that I feel have built great "developer brand" and goodwill through hackathons, whether running their own, or sponsoring others (e.g. TC Disrupt, Startup Weekend). Twilio is the first one that comes to mind. But whether that translates into actual revenues is where my anecdotal evidence clearly falls short.
That seems really expensive?
That would help. Many German universities have rudimentary English versions, which makes things easier, too. I suppose it's enough to search the university's name and "email", though. I found some email adresses of my university that way, anyway. Thanks for doing this - I (and the other students, I bet) appreciate it a lot.
I agree with your reference to the 'Real Life Social Network', and I'd also point out that keeping your groups separate is a hard problem to solve. To execute, you have to have something that's easy, simple to use, opaque when you want it to be (and vice versa), and you have to model the way your groups see each other (or can they? Should they?). I'm very interested to see who finally manages to find the solution to that (and what that solution might possibly look like.)
Instagram you win. The use case for path is if you don't have any self control for who you decide comes into your life on other networks. (Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc)

Props to a strong team though.
I absolutely love both the concept and execution of this. I hope it offers some of the intimacy that Facebook eschews.

My only gripe? 50 is too many "friends." I doubt many of us interact meaningfully with 50 people in a given week, let alone in a given day.

I also wonder how much more users would be willing to share if 50 became 10.
I can only hope it shocks some sense into kids that use GitHub for distribution rather than putting a tarball named $name-$version.tgz (or bz2 or xz or whatever). As much as I love GitHub, is has been the bane of my automated-build existence. I don't want to ever have to make a build script that guesses at a SHA1 (or punts by doing a clone at depth zero) again.
As much as I think the article's author means well. I am quite disturbed by what some of their suggestions represent.

Notably, the idea of "plucking" children that display intelligence from a young age and somehow aiding them in their education. Now I may be wrong, but this seems like we're metaphorically "harvesting" intelligence for the benefit of society.

The assumption being that society at the moment can't naturally do that, and we have to use state funding/power/force to make it happen. As with all such assumptions, it comes with a eery connotation that we have "very smart" scientists (you know, the ones we don't naturally reward in society") that have studied this, and they concluded that the best course forward for society is for them to "pick" a favorable feature in the populace and help it blossom.

Looking forward to see what sort of discussion this mini-rant/tangential-brain-musing sparks.
The text starts "Freedom!", meaning that he can do whatever it is that he wants. That he chooses to engage in work emails doesn't make it any less free, IMO.

I love my (non-Google) job and love my family. So, I'm happy on Fridays when focus changes to family, but I also often love Sunday evenings when focus turns back towards work.

Not everyone has a dreadful, barely tolerable job...
Oh yea I wasn't sure which one was it! Intuitively it seemed to need to be at lower temperature, but the association of entropy of gases with their temperature made me write otherwise, but of course E=h*f dictates that the entropy from a larger number of lower energy photons must be higher. Thanks for the correction!
What depths of poor taste we find ourselves in, to be disagreeing with pg on hn.

Even pg can occasionally come off as an ignoramus, but don't let that convince you of the fallibility of your glorious leader.
How about not selling to these guys, period. I just have this feeling that once you take money from a Fortune company, you are their employee. Same goes for the government.
"Focusing is about saying no."

- Steve Jobs
"standardization, frameworks, and control" If management wants this than good.

In my experience its the constant change(I don't mind controlled change, but hidden change), constant scope creep, constant increasing of tasks, without increasing estimates. The constant being asked to "do things faster" without caring about quality, then being blamed about quality at a later date that makes things fail. Trying to implement every single feature, rather than focusing on a small set of useful features.

In a word its management that makes projects fail. You need a system to set constraints on managament so they have to make proper trade offs and don't expect everything in a small amount of time.

It's easy to manage if you expect everything can be done. What makes management hard is making the trade offs because you have limited resources.

If you implement a standard way of doing things, you can stop management wrecking projects.

Boss comes in and asks to change something? Well it has to go through the normal estimation process and the estimate increased etc

They can't ask you to cut corners, because it must go through the same quality procedures

etc

A lot of developers are complicit in this, because they have a super hero complex. They want to show off, and have unrealistic expectations of themselves. Management think they getting a great deal, but in the end the developer can't deliver. One of the parts of becoming a senior developer is to start to really know yourself. Then adjusting your systems to compensate.

One thing i like about SCRUM is the velocity technique, because uses past history to estimate rather than ego driven estimates.

Frameworks and standard techniques are there to protect developers much more than to protect managers.
Correct, but the GPL demands that once you've given the source to your POS operator, that they are then free to share it with anyone and everyone.

So, in your hypothetical, it turns out to be very hard to prevent the distribution of the source, unless all the POS units are held in-house (that you are a company developing and using your own POS units in commerce, as opposed to being a POS vendor) and that all your employees who have standing to receive a copy of the source have some compelling reason to not distribute it.

That's a feature to GPL advocates and a bug to GPL detractors.
That intuitively doesn't make sense for the fact that vaccines help produce antibodies which prevent the virus from spreading within the body and reproducing within the body. The spike protein is detected as something bad, and the body becomes furious and destroys the whole shebang, but not before binding to the spike protein as well and preventing it from infecting cells. If there's a lower viral load in the body, then it reduces the chance of spread (hint, because viral shedding is what causes spread across people).

Yes but they used to had, I remember correctly higher PR. Back in the day (Twitter had 10, Google had 9 and any gov had 7 atleast) I used to buy those and link to my directory webs.
Hard to say this when the entire immigration and trade policy of the US veered into an extremely unlikely configuration on the back of a candidate universally loathed by the establishment on both the left and the right.
It's a medical journal, Trends in Immunology, the same type of journal that all medical studies are published in. Unfortunately we still have a broken publishing system in the US so it is insanely expensive to read articles/studies published in these journals unless you work somewhere with an institution-level account.
Try out rr first. It has at least half the magical unicorn sparkles you're looking for, is open source, and runs locally. It's not hard to modify. (I've done it, though not for any core functionality changes.)

Then you'll be in a far better position to evaluate the additional benefits Pernosco might provide you. I think your reasons for being leery of it are valid, but there are very legitimate scenarios where it makes sense IMO. (Recording CI jobs automatically, collaborative debugging, situations where the critical dataflow is hard to follow...) And they integrate, too - you can upload rr recordings to Pernosco when you need the extra functionality.

I guess it also depends on the pricing model, which I know nothing about.
I'm a bit confused about what you're saying here. We've already established that a court can't force you to provide the password to open a wall case. Why does it matter whether they know about the container or the contents?
Are you a consultant then? What type of projects do you do and how do you find clients? This is something I'd love to do once my current gig is done.
It takes mental effort. Imagine your coworker asks you which version of your app is running on staging and if the latest modification runs without throwing an error. Sure, alt-tab to your terminal and 5 commands later you’re in your app‘s repl to answer that but by then you had to switch your context. Opening your custom helm search for your servers which then displays a new window with your docker instances on staging plus pressing enter to dial into a repl session there is not only convenient, it reduces mental effort

A mass of HN denizens certainly know how to show disagreement (and intolerance).
I think he is not joking.

France is notorious for having a very cumbersome and over burdening fiscal and administrative system. From direct personal experience, you better off being an employee than being under the status of self employed. The hassle you get from the tax office and employment agency totally overweight the flexibility this status should offer. There is a reason Paris is not the start up hub it would like to be.

Sure you have the odd example that shows this is still possible, but in an industry where you do not need to be on location to produce some work, the incentive to stay in France and develop a successful start up is lessen by the appeal of the US and Canada and to a lesser extend the UK.
Logging every API request through every layer into ElasticSearch/Logstash or something similar for starters.
Hey this is awesome! Really love your grid. Any chance you can share with us what frameworks you used? I'm particularly interested in what you used to build your 3d grid.
I'm a 27 year old and my B.S. was in mechanical engineering -- I work in the "app/startup" world. I think MechE helped.

Best advice I can give you:
Start building things now. The languages are cool, but there's so much more value to being able to build complete-loop products, and I think any engineering mindsets are a great start for working with creating digital products (programming). If you want to take part in an opportunity/make a shift, (your) value has to meet (market) opportunity.

To be honest, I do more wireframing now than anything else (I'm also lucky enough to now have a team that is much better at designing or programming than I am). I think my undergrad in mechE had a huge impact on where I am now -- (1) from how I think and (2) from how much "programmers" or non-programmers respect engineers, or anyone technical, in today's digital world.

The shift can be a very natural one, but web and mobile are where you should probably be focused. That's simply where there' a lot more demand.

I'm not sure how helpful I can ever be, but please feel free to email me for any advice or just to chat: Vlad(at)darwinapps.com
I told Facebook to delete my account as soon as they implemented this feature, years ago, and I found that (at least at the time) I could not block it on my Android phone. So, at least, I've not since then been party to giving Facebook information (they most likely have anyway) about other people, since the Facebook app is not installed on my phone.
I'm sure he's a very prolific Hacker News contributor. My point is that people who optimize for short-term financial compensation ahead of employment with a company they believe in which is generous with its stock are the least successful in this industry—particularly financially, ironically.

cold review is currently my favorite hack.
Showed this to my wife, a veterinarian, that was her first comment - don't use Hartz, their products kill cats and dogs.

Her second comment was that the matrix seemed outdated, most meds were available in oral form now.
What we need is better programming languages.
Languages that can bridge the gap between academia and industry.
I can neither swipe right or left or click anything on the homepage... using an iPhone 6. Am I missing something?
on a couple of GB this is true, actually if you have ssd's I'd expect any non compute bound task to be faster on a single machine up to ~10gb after which the disk parallelism should kick in and Hadoop should start to win.
Photos of parts of her body posted on a fetish web site could, potentially, lead to professional and relationship issues, for a starter.
Are you seriously arguing in 50 years super rich people won't use this for e.g. cosmetic reasons?
People are dumb as in, guys guffawing at someone saying "NIPS"?

Yeah, immaturity can be insidious. Even I find myself "looking for the joke" sometimes because my team at work is so silly with innuendo. Mostly harmless, but I wish it were different sometimes.
>> it’s also clear this article has an anti-left goal in mind

I feel that positioning things in terms of PRO vs ANTI is not accurate or helpful in many cases, including this one.

Is reasoned criticism necessarily ANTI in nature? I do not think so.
It's interesting but I'm not sure how I can trust the "web-of-trust" here. Traditionally web-of-trusts are built using real world relations. I've worked with person X for 5 years and I believe they wouldn't do something malicious, so I'm willing to trust sources they trust. It starts with trust us, and trust every username in this preloaded file we want to give you. That's not distributed, that's a centralized trust model.

The trust boundaries themselves seem pretty broad as well. I may trust some developers to work on any code, but I may not trust them to review any code. A good example is anything relating to cryptography. I trust X to write that code as long as its been reviewed by expert Y, but I don't trust expert Y to review code in specialized field Z. A lot of this will come down to personal judgement.

The "web-of-trust" model itself here also seems pretty limited. There is mention of a form of trust decay but its not clear how or when that happens, and its not clear what the trust levels mean in this app. What is "medium" trust of a developer? How does that impact whether code is considered reviewed or not? What happens when a developer two-degrees away from me adds someone malicious? Are they also getting the medium trust level? What if I explicitly _don't_ trust a developer that is directly listed in crev's root of trust repository? Can I add them to an ignore list?

I might have missed it, but this also seems to be positive trust only. I can't see a way to publish a proof saying "whhoooaaa this crate is actively malicious stay away from it".

Based on the getting started guide, the way this project is meant to be used is to start by trusting their central root of trust. If they want to expand on that they can create their own trust repository and start adding to it, inside an organization you can give your team access to modify the repo and you can now trust what your colleagues have reviewed. That's it though, that review process never feeds back into the community. The web-of-trust here is a hierarchy unless someone is blessed by the central repository to become part of their core trust. This model isn't distributed at all.

"Wanting" a discovery, or actual web mechanism here may seem counter-intuitive with my first point but can provide important information without inherently trusting individual reviews. If a package has 20 independent reviews and a competing version of the package has none, I still don't know anything about the code or its quality, but I will lean more towards the one that has been reviewed. There is a wiki-page people can publish their proof repos there, but the only way to consume them is to add them to your trust network...

Ultimately I think the problem is that while it can operate in independent trust networks, it's effectively been designed with a centralized trust model that I have no way of trusting and no way to establish that trust. I can't even use these proofs as metadata when deciding on dependencies to use in the future. There isn't any value add here as it stands.
Since William Gibson coined the term in Neuromancer, it has become a common, if ill-defined, word for some sort of portable computing device, especially in a cyberpunk context.
The statement is absolutely correct referring to the government and the Conservative party in general.
I'd argue that just about every infrastructure that looks like this benefits from Kubernetes (that you're not setting up and managing), and that's a lot of them. The biggest problem is that not enough people have boiled down Kubernetes enough to look like heroku yet. Google Cloud Run is possibly the best example of what Kubernetes can look like/run like -- it runs on (probably a relatively heavily modified) KNative, a project that runs on top of kubernetes.

The "point" of Kubernetes is to drop the difficulty of building a service like Cloud Run to zero. It drops the cost of building a Heroku down to zero. I'd bet my bottom dollar that fly.io and render are running on Kubernetes (maybe they mentioned it somewhere already and I just missed it). With the right cluster set up, building one of those platforms (or others that I won't mention) is almost as simple as setting up stripe checkout and writing a web interface to turn form fields into JSON fields and send them to a kubernetes cluster (possibly with hard multi-tenancy! not to get too into it, but you can literally provision kubernetes clusters from kubernetes clusters, ephemeral or otherwise).

No other tool in the devops world except for maybe the initial orchestrator wave (ansible/puppet/salt/chef) has been this much of a force multiplier. Ok, maybe that's hyperbole, but if adhoc-bash-scripts->ansible is 1->2, Ansible->Kubernetes is similarly 1->2, especially if you consider baked in cloud provider support/innovation.

But here's the secret -- perversely, I'm happy deep down that everyone thinks k8s is too complicated/is a buzzword/isn't worth the effort. All it means to me is that I'm still ahead of the curve.
There is a cryptocurrency called siacoin. It offers cloud storage and there exist a nextcloud plugin for it to integrate it as a storage backend. I have some plans on trying this setup.
What do you think?

They don't send email, as we've learned. They send an internet.
This is incredibly hand-wavy. For one thing, speculation about which days of the week are "better": Every single day, seven days a week, for any given moment in time, there are the same number of items on the front page. Does anyone have data on (for example) average numbers of upvotes varying in a statistically significant manner by days of the week?

For another, data about how many characters in HIS titles correlated to x number of upvotes: Maybe that says something about how he writes. But, again, is there any data about average title length for all articles that hit the front page? That would be more meaningful.

Not that I haven't done similar pieces on my own blog, but the point of one of my write-ups was: Gee, this completely shocked me and looks a lot like random chance to me.

I submit articles regularly. Some hit the front page. Some are ignored. Most are not my own articles. HN is a very large forum. The most consistent thing seems to be that certain authors (like Paul Graham) get their work submitted by people other than themselves and then get wildly upvoted and intensely discussed.

That isn't to say that analysis is meaningless, but I personally didn't get anything useful out of this article and another it linked to other than the fact that he now gets traffic from HN and from blogging at a level that, for a previous project, he spent up to $15K/month to get. But I have no idea what kind of money that is making him or how. Just that he now generates traffic without spending scads of money on it.

That's nice information. I am still trying to figure out how to get that piece working better for various projects of my own. But, for me, the single biggest thing is that I have other stuff to work out so content is updated very regularly and is good quality. Until I have that worked out, traffic will continue to be anemic -- which is fine. Working that out is a complex process and I am okay with the progress I am making.
I have noticed my office working habits to follow a pattern: I could usually be productive working with 1 or 2 person around (well isolated group cubicle or private office), but I would make that only about half my day and work the other half by myself. When I wouldn't have any space at my disposal to do that, I would end up arriving after noon and staying until 9 or 10pm when everyone is gone and that's when most of the work gets done.
I've just never understood this idea of forced price discrimination, the idea that consumers are restricted in buying a product freely available.
Here in Europe Apple is replacing affected logics for free with consumer law claims. The are only two conditions: 1. you need to have the original receipt 2. it must be a non business purchase (so you must be a consumer)
