Depends what you want. Are you all about personal privacy? I'd say Signal or Matrix on a self hosted server. Convenience and access to some other communities? Discord would be my pick.
It’s less cold if you think of it as the return on the investment into community: justifying thoughtful moderation, creating guides, maintaining forums, etc. Those are good activities that a small business still needs to justify on some level.
"and you should be able to do so in one-third the time that most competent people think possible"

Wow...
Missing option: Not using such stuff at all
Apple operates in a bubble that doesn't acknowledge other operating systems at all. So that will never happen.
F* Twitter. Trump clearly violates their ToS yet they keep him on... I wonder why that i$?
You are missing the point. It's not a matter of being "as harmful" as tobacco companies. It's a matter of having a business that thrives by exploiting people's regulatory mechanisms to get them to do something that goes against their self-interest and well-being.

They don't have to be "the cause of all modern problems" to be frowned upon. Just the fact that they are part of the problem and not part of the solution is enough for me to want to get rid of it and to think poorly of anyone that wants to work there.
Same for me. Looks like extremely geofenced.
I've enjoyed reading about programming on this site for a few years, so, no, thank you for providing a peek into your reality.
I think there's a case to be made that whatever you write after a week of reflection will be of more value or at least higher quality than what you'd be able to send off immediately when someone dies. Certainly there's a need for a space that puts quality over immediacy. There are already a dozen channels by which you can update people with short bursts of information, but by their nature those channels are not well suited to more thoughtful posting.
Keeping it secret makes no sense but having 60,000 warheads is "safer" than having 6,000.
Umm. No.

I was there. Unless my iPhone 3G, MacBook Pro, and iPad all have mysterious pre-release drivers as well, it most certainly was not a driver problem causing the wifi mess. It was unreliable throughout the week.

People who were there last year claimed that the wifi worked quite well. That was before the MiFi became popular, though. (And the crowd size was about the same as this year so Apple clearly knew what to prepare for.)

In a crowd of over 5,000 people there were at times over 500 hundred wifi networks! There should have only been one - the official WWDC network.
...to create it...
"Why do these kids have access to a cutting-edge technology like the cell phone, but not to a 100-year-old technology for generating electric light in the home? The answer, in a word, is rules."

So the reason Albania has no regular electric power, but children have iPhones it's because it hasn't rules. Come on, it's not it has not rules, it's just that the current administration wants more money.

[Edit2: Part of the problem is that in a way we are a charter country.]

We actually have rules, the financial capability, IP laws that conform to WIPO, enforcing agencies, and all you need to "kick ass". Our problem is that by kicking ass as a country (richer overall population), the administration in power cannot make the same money they make today, at least not that easy (I mean very very easy, like we already know what cut they'll require for the next financial aid).

Edit:
"Starting in 2001, he began to channel his energy into a start-up software company that he named Aplia."

Looks like the power of monetization has striked again.
I didn't read the OPs question like "woe is me" at all.

I've been in their shoes. Feeling isolated, having doubts despite my optimistic nature, lacking sources of good advice. I'm sure it's a familiar story for many HNers.

I wasn't born knowing Paul Graham or the Church of Lean. I didn't always live in a city rife with smart people building startups.

It's a slow, steady process of learning, adjusting, and learning again. That the OP is here asking questions and seeking advice shows me they're on the right path.
ThinkCode.TV (http://thinkcode.tv) is my startup, which is dedicated to programming screencasts.
It's interesting to see when a new anti-virus comes out how the product is streamlined, fast, unobtrusive and the emails are friendly.

As a few years go by they all tend to turn into 'marketing machines', they are no longer interested in making a good product, just a shiny one. And by 'shiny' I mean: colorful, bloated and slow.

Maybe the marketing people take control? Maybe they get bought up by the bigger companies? I really don't know.

I'm dreading the day I need to buy an AV for my mac :-/

Note: From around '97 on these were the AVs I used, I usually switched when the UI became too bloated:

- Norton

- McAfee

- F-prot ( was still fast last time I checked )

- Panda

- Avast
Isn't it great not to have a life script handed to you? :)
I didn't find the sidebar distracting. Actually, I didn’t notice it until after I had read the article.

What did distract me was the picture of the assassin when I first landed on the page. I kept wondering why there was an article about Fallout on a website that I assumingly thought was about Guild Wars. That’s a big piece of Guild Wars branding to put on a site that’s about gaming in general.
I agree with you, it's frustrating.
Although he's technically Finnish, Hannu Rajaniemi might also count as being part of that "Scottish clique", I suppose, since he's based in Edinburgh. I thought his "The Quantum Thief", which came out earlier this year in the UK, was a terrific sci-fi novel, especially when you consider that it's his first. The bloke's got a PhD in string theory so one assumes he knows his stuff, too.
Don't glorify staying in school.
Man, I love the audacity of creating a content business that creates no content, just repackages other people's research and tacks a new headline on it.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's hilariously criminal and emblematic of everything that's wrong with the internet's systematic dismantling of the ability of content producers' ability to earn a living by doing the tedious, expensive work of actually making anything more complicated that cat memes.

LOL Nu york timez! I sold millions of dollars worth of ads on your original reporting and, unsurprisingly, am earning a tidy profit because your copyright means nothing online!

Just include time in the model and use lagged features. It’s used all the time in automated time series forecasting.
The best CMS is the filesystem. Don't be afraid to just write HTML and use it.

For my personal site I write html posts as discrete files with filenames that allow me to use bash to cat them easily into pages. Then every time I write a new post for the blog I just run something like, ls -v 2019-*.html | tac | xargs cat > blog-2019.html

To style the raw posts themselves I use HTTP header linked CSS (https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.6). It doesn't work in every browser but I don't care about every browser. That's the joy of personal sites. You can just do what you want.

For generating the RSS feed I wrote a small perl script. Everything is hosted from home with nginx running on my main desktop over a cable ISP connection.
Hah! Someone noticed! My existence is validated!
Yes you could. In fact there are laws requiring you make your stores handicap accessible.
That sounds like a very useful idea! IDEs have made refactoring large projects much easier than it used to be but I can still see how your representation is superior. Text files as storage for computer programs are awkward, you're always left with huge impedance mismatch between the form in which you specify what you want and the form it eventually takes.

Thank you for answering my question.
I guess for some people the rule is the month must end with an r? Sep to Dec is 1/3.

Anyway, Sep to Apr is only 2/3.
> How do you view your Netlify usage while on the free tier?

I am not sure. I never used their service. I got my usage numbers from DigitalOcean's dashboard.

But I recently looked at Netlify to host another static site and they mention that 100 GB limit on their pricing page.
If you actually read TFA you'd know that it's describing a non-djb implementation of a djb design.
I'm generally not afraid of the police when they're not actively questioning me on suspicion of me having committed a crime. That has happened eight times. Six of the eight times, it was on suspicion of stealing my own bicycle, the relevant evidence being that I was a) not Japanese and b) riding a bicycle. One time, after the cops had called my bicycle's anti-theft registration number into HQ and received the radio report "That bike is registered to one Patrick McKenzie", I was accused of stealing Patrick McKenzie's bicycle and identity.

Does this answer your questions?

[+] I realize this sounds like the kind of story an Irish storyteller would make up to prove a point and feel that I must add "I swear by all the saints, by my hope of heaven and my fear of hell, this did literally happen."

Your experience and puzzlement regarding the Nexus 4 is basically identical to mine.
Ever since updating to Lollipop, my Nexus 4 has had sudden restarts a few times a week. It's a very disappointing reduction in quality which makes me question whether to go Android for my next device. If Google can't support its own hardware reliably then I don't see why anyone else should put their trust in it.
A note to everyone wishing to comment on this:

1. Read the article, or at least skim it before commenting. The rates listed are population normalized, it would be a very bizarre thing indeed if some other cause of death was preferentially killing people before they got old enough to die of cancer yet somehow still caused overall life expectancy to increase.

2. Acquaint yourself with some basic statistics on causes of death in recent times, such as this easy to read infographic from a few months ago: http://www.bloomberg.com/dataview/2014-04-17/how-americans-d...

As you'll see, death rates for all age groups have been in decline across the board since 1991. People aren't dying due to obesity or diabetes instead of cancer, they're just dying less, mostly regardless of cause.

So please stop needlessly injecting your speculation and biases into the comments here, please only put forward arguments which are consistent with the well-established facts as we know them. Thanks.
I truly wish them all the best with this project. It would be a momentous win for privacy to have email encrypted by default and easy enough for the general public to use and that is no easy task. Will be interesting to see how this plays out and if they can get some quality email companies like Fastmail onboard early on.
I wasn't making an argument but I see where you are coming from. with your bank card analogy, at least here in Ireland there is no liability on the account holder for theft or fraud anymore so even if you don't keep those things safe the bank takes the hit. That seems to be the strategy amazon is taking at the moment, if that gets too expensive for them i am sure they will invest in another layer of protection. Now that I think about it it also seems like this is an opportunity to win the loyalty of a customer. By contacting them, explaining the problem and the solution and then by waiving potentially large charges from their account without hassle they are garnering a lot of trust. Just a random thought that popped into my head
Reasons I bought (and still use as my daily driver) a Nexus 4:

* It was the phone most likely to get Android updates quickly.

* The bootloader was unlockable.

* It was extremely good value (compared to other phones available at the time)

I agree 100% that these benefits are gone or no longer exclusive to the Nexus line. Frankly my next phone I'll just see what is both good value and well supported by Cyanogen.
What I mean by this - out of frustration because I want to love this new release - is that the 5.x release of android, on the couple of devices I upgraded is, buggier, laggier, and less stable than version 4.x.
In terms of usability, I also noticed that they removed the ability to only display contacts that have a phone number: I can live with that but I can tell you my dad was furious about this. Another minor annoyance is that switching to a different WIFI network seemingly requires more taps than before. I've owned a few IOS devices in the past - an OS I am not a big fan of - but I am disappointed that Google routinely overlooks those kind of details that Apple certainly wouldn't.
