Assuming that it's full of HNers...y'all are terrible at this game. Move and shoot, folks. Move and shoot. Control items.

Jeez, it's like you've never played Quake or Soldat before.
You have nailed it perfectly regarding moving to cloud, on hindsight I think I was too vague.

And this is indeed a broad subject, with each issue tackled individually. I am asking for any suggestions on resources (books, articles, videos, podcasts etc) to follow to gain insight in this area. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.
I kind of agree with your cynicism, but I'm partial due to having been refused by Facebook, twice.

The first time I made the mistake of using Python (because of its whiteboard value) while not being proficient in it. They really didn't like me Googling some basic stuff.

The second time I still used Python, but had 5 years experience using it behind. Can't be objective but it was probably the best interview I've ever done. Reviewed my code afterwards, and could only come up with minor improvements. Got refused, I asked what could I improve and I got a very generic "not a good match for the team" which, in retrospect, reading your comment, could have been very accurate.
Yeap, be sure to contact me by Skype - tanshark87
You mean the climate that is regularly on fire these days?
Hard to say, everyone experiences IBS differently, so there are probably many variations out there. But you could definitely try to empty the contents completely and see what happens. Norovirus was no joke though - I got mild dehydration from it, which ages you. Be careful!
>> It's pretty decent, tastes like bacon.

What I've found is that peoples' tastes develop according to what we usually eat, so "tastes like bacon" is different if you're used to eating meats cured with nitrites, than what it would be if you didn't.

I've said this story before on HN: in Greece, where I'm currently at, about 80% of the milk in supermarket refrigerated isles is UHT (Ultra Heat Treated). UHT milk doesn't need to be stored in a refrigerator, in fact that's the whole point. But, I guess, they [1] put it there so people will buy it thinking it's "fresh" (i.e. low-heat pasteurised and about a week old). The fact that so much of the milk sold in supermarkets is UHT -and so little is "fresh"- tells me that it basically works and people buy it.

The interesting thing is that, if you ask Greeks whether they prefer "fresh" milk or UHT milk, the chances are they'll tell you they prefer "fresh" milk. There was a study at some point -sorry that I don't have a reference- that said I think that consumers around the EU, including Greeks, prefer "fresh" milk.

Conclusion: at least Greeks drink UHT milk and have no idea it's UHT.

... even though it tastes distinctly unlike fresh milk.

They're probably used to the taste and think that's what fresh milk tastes like. And don't let me get started on how most "fresh" milk doesn't taste of anything...

[1] "They" is the dairy industry that ask for it - and the supermarkets that don't care and comply.
Disagree all you want but the Bay Area does not have SF in the center. That's north. Silicon Valley is really North San Jose and Sunnyvale. My house in South San Jose was at least and hour from SF and the streets were cleaner, traffic was better, crime was lower and things were cheaper. All of these places make up the Bay Area.

I left anyway after 3+ decades but not because of SF. I just wanted more for less. SF is and always has been a special pocket of gross. Some people love it and others, like me, avoided it at all costs. We're not all the same.
I think those who think this misunderstand the type of security it is meant to provide. It's not about blocking account takeover attempts. Services mostly don't really care about that, because it doesn't affect the service as a whole. It's about reducing spam, bots, and other organized hostile activity towards the service as a whole. It's tough to create a bunch of accounts in a way that the site can't easily track if you have to provide a real phone number. Yes, everybody knows about buying phone services on the internet, and they do seem to have ways to block using those numbers.

Pretty much every service does this. Try signing up for a Google, Facebook, or Twitter account without providing a real phone number. Usually if it works at all, the account created will be rapidly blocked until you do provide one.
So you're assuming the same owner owned the building for several years if not decades? You do realize real estate is a market just like any other, you buy at the market price, finance that purchase by borrowing money from banks, finally you rent it out to recover some of the monthly finance costs, taxes and maintenance expenses. To continue saying landlords this landlords that makes you sound like you discovered a hidden truth that explains away the issues related to the high prices we're seeing. In fact most likely majority of real estate investors in the Bay Area are earning very nominal returns on their investment compared to other markets, see local housing price growth rates.
For those confused on what the navigation does and how it works, I'll try to give a basic example in desktop terms and build up.

1. If we want to switch between windows on a desktop, we use alt-tab.

2. Suppose we could arbitrarily group the windows from multiple applications into a single entity (sort of how Ubuntu defaults to grouping all terminals for application switching). For example, say we have a terminal and a web-browser in a group, and a file explorer and a web-browser in a group. We can switch between the two groups and within a group we can switch between applications.

Why do we care? If you have a large number of applications open, it's tedious to alt-tab through them all to get to the application you want. Other mechanisms exist, like ctrl+f10 for kde, but there is some economy of motion in a tree traversal vs looking at the applications, finding the one we want out of a large display of them and typing in the name of the application to bring it up. For example, if we want a particular terminal when we have 5 to switch between with 20+ other apps also running. ctrl-f10 breaks up the nice flow of alt tab and alt tab takes too long if we want to change between 5 applications rapidly.

3. Over time you may end up with a lot of groups, making navigation by group tedious. Lets introduce another level, say categories. Categories contain groups. So you can switch between Categories, within a category you can switch between groups, within groups you can switch between applications.

This plugin acts like the desktop framework above, but for files and with more features.
FWIW, San Francisco also has bin washers with the fancy machines. They come by on your garbage day, so you just leave your bins out a little longer than usual.
No this is exactly what the market does: crush bad ideas.
This looks like the same text on the Voynich Manuscript [0] — only without the illustrations.

That solution wouldn't really be fair either. All the other electricity providers are going to have to sit down with ERCOT and figure out how to split the $2 billion bill here (https://www.wsj.com/articles/texas-power-market-is-short-2-1...) ; why should Griddy get their share subsidized by the state just because they passed the bill on to consumers? I don't think you're entirely wrong, but it seems like the bottom line is that Griddy's billing model just isn't compatible with the ERCOT market.
Including Ethernet in the 1980s. And disks in the 1970s.
As someone who lives in the first world, I share your amazement.
Yes, definitely wasn't trying to accuse Griddy of price gouging here, they're just a middle man. I am accusing the people who set the price of doing so (at least morally), and perhaps even the producers of the electricity who didn't set the price (as well as those who were involved in setting it) since they are going along with selling it at that exorbitant price.
The customer debt from this can be sold off, but you might be lucky to get a penny-on-the-dollar for it.
> Doctors are pretty good at treating symptoms, but when it comes to root causes of serious diseases, they're pretty bad at treating them without inflicting collateral damage on some other body system.

I'm sure this is true, but the examples that immediately come to mind don't fit. New tyrosine kinase inhibitors inhibit the fusion "always-on" tyrosine kinases that cause many cancers. Antibiotics kill bacteria. Statins stop the production of cholesterol. All of these get at the root cause of the problem and don't merely treat symptoms. When you say "good at treating symptoms," which things are you thinking about?

I'm in medical school and always want to improve my understanding of what thoughtful people see as symptomatic treatments that don't get at the root cause of problems. (Like I said above, I know that there are tons of these, but would really like to know which ones come to mind for you; perhaps these are the places where we, as a profession, are failing.)

A huge amount of medicine is essentially treating the symptoms of aging.
I think this is a fantastic model for a tv show. I feel much better about paying for a show online if it hasn't already made a bunch of money through networks. People will more likely pay for art when they believe the money goes to the artists. It sort of reminds me of Dr. Horrible, where all the contributors worked for a share of the profits. Does anyone know if this is the case here? The site says that people worked for free on this project, but doesn't explain how the future money gets divided up.
but it took a long time to recreate the same basic processes.

Are you using Drupal? if you are doing a lot of the same boiler plate it may be because you are not using a CMS that will allow you to reuse components across sites. Something like Drupal may help you to make your UI components more reusable while still allowing you to use PHP.
My linode has been down for over an hour and still counting. They just went under three nines in one day...
I really think that more and more people will start leaving the cities as communication continues to improve. The reason people conglomerated was so they could be in constant contact and physical space is not limiting factor to that any more.

I was just thinking that if they didn't keep up with their skills, they might have a hard time getting work. (Not necessarily that they were using it for video games or youtube or anything.)
I think this is why the linked collection has all of the editor specific rules in a separate "Global" subdirectory.
"Home Power" magazine is what you need to check out:

All their back issues are available online in pdf. They have all the details on cost-effective clandestine home energy solutions.

Okay, there probably are a couple of HN readers wandering around feeling inadequate about their lack of degrees. I, for one, have a different motive when I upvote the "college is broken" posts (well, the ones I like enough to upvote).

I'm tired of meeting smart people who completely lack useful skills (and have been "educated" out of the ability to acquire them on the fly without hand-holding) and need ridiculous salaries (that they don't have the skills to justify) in order to service ridiculous college debt. It's just sad.

We had another one on HN recently asking what to do with his mountain of debt and unprofitable degree. I meet about two a month, and I don't spend that much time around recent graduates.

Yes, some people leave their degree program without unmanageable debt and having gained enough to make the sacrifices worth it. However, they are in the minority.

In America, getting a degree is held out to all students as a panacea. It's even illegal to take a special needs child off the college track before age 16, regardless of how unlikely it is that that child can benefit from university study, or how much the child needs other types of education. For the bright, it's worse: high schools are graded on how many of their graduates go on to college, so the pressure can be incredibly intense even when college is an incredibly bad fit for the student.

People who don't think that university study, as most commonly implemented in the US today, is the One Right Way for all individuals, are usually shouted down as unambitious or not contributing to the economy. Entrepreneurship communities are among the few places that students can find an attitude of "do what has the most value to you, and be skeptical of anything that involves mountains of debt -- it takes a lot of earning power to service that debt and live at the same time" from a group of people whom no one can rightly call unambitious.
The line is less clear than you suggest: http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/141645-s... (summary: Spanish site links to, but does not mirror, copyrighted material; Spanish courts finally say it's legal; DHS still seizes it).

In the above case, (almost) no crimes were committed by anyone in an area the US has jurisdiction over; fulltiltpoker.com, at least, could be said to be actively recruiting Americans.
Your pretend definition of what a "coin" is has no relevance in a court of law. They were printed metal tokens that had passing similarity to US coinage. The fact that they weren't issued by the authority of the government is the problem, not the solution.
This article was written 3 years, 8 months, 4 days ago. I'm pretty sure there's been plenty of time for "this is fun" to propagate through the masses.

Also, as stated in his The Usability of Passwords - FAQ (http://www.baekdal.com/tips/the-usability-of-passwords-faq):

Q: So, are you saying we should use "this is fun" as our password?

A: No, I'm saying that you should use a 3+ word pass phrase as your password. Something that isn't linked directly to you or your immediate interests. So don't choose the names of your three kids.
I second this -- yesterday I gofixed some third-party packages without even reading their code and without waiting for the authors to update them.
Aaaargh. Lose. The misused "loose" has come out of nowhere in the last 5 years, and for some reason really annoys me.
Over two syllables, not under two.
So making Lisp more popular would be a matter of getting some hackers on the ground floor of a dialect who are excited about their project. I can't think of a counter-example among the popular languages. If you're right, then it blows away my thesis, but I can't think of a way to test this (aside from watching a Lisp dialect get as popular as Java).
Nonsense

This is the free market in action. No one is forcing Google or Twitter or FB to do anything; I think they've been very restrained. The libertarians should be happy that it's commercial companies shutting Parler down and not govt. It's only when the president incites violence in an attempt retain power that these commercial entities acted.
BLM protests were mostly non-violent.

Twitter is not "your platform". It exists because almost the whole country uses it. Therefore, not just corporate executives, but the whole nation should decide what speech is allowed, and we already have! Speech in privately-owned public spaces like Twitter is governed by the First Amendment to the constitution.

Analytical purposes AKA evidence in forthcoming legal proceedings.
the solution to this, obviously, is to break up monopolistic companies, not to force them to be mouthpieces for fascists.
With a few exceptions showing more modern influences, you could label this gallery "1980 Mathematical Art Exhibition" and I would believe you.
I think both sides have a problem with assuming everyone on the other side fits a single mold. Apparently that mold fitting the more radical elements of the other side.

Actually, one of the magical things Trump did was prey on a lot of individuals individual desires while getting them to ignore all the stuff he promised to others that they don't agree with.

But anyway, just because you voted for somebody doesn't mean you agree with them on everything. That's as true for the left as it is the right.
It’s not censorship, private businesses have the right to decide what they sell in their stores.

Parlour can still distribute itself as a web app, no problem.
Tuesday’s election was called on Wednesday, which is part of the events I was referencing.
I don't deal with it. I learned a long time ago that I cannot be on top of everything and that it's ok if you're not.

You know how they say that after Hilbert mathematics became too large for any one person to learn? Well, this situation reflects that. There's simply too much information out there. Are you sure you want to stay current with all of that?

There's a time when you need to stop reading about doing stuff and start to actually do stuff.
I'm not sure if you are more upset at the loss of the particular server setup or of the data. It sounds like the former. In that case take this as an opportunity to create an infrastructure for your servers where you can easily bring up new servers as you need them. Instead of logging into a new box and installing and configuring software, write a deployment script. That way you can migrate to/from Linode quickly.
Even if you don't plan on doing anything with the languages involved, buy the book and read it.

(oh, yeah, you might as well learn the example language, which I think is C++ in the second edition. It will do you good to be able to read more than one language, even if your writing skills are focused on one.)
I don't even see the romanian, chinese and russian inputs in my httpd logs, I simply assume they're bots :)
I don't have an iPhone (waiting for 4 ;/) and so I cannot give a proper review. But as a first impression I think there's to much clutter, you should think at a better category organization, like putting "Top 10 a..z" in their own category as now important category are sinked and there's way to much to scroll, even on a PC.

Also try a more subtle item gradient, it's too "eye catchy", just try to whiten more that grey (maybe make it fully white).

And the site speed looks a little bit slower but this just might on my end so no real problems there.

Good luck ;)
The Sony Ericsson P800 (2003) had a touchscreen and me my friends were raving about it :-)

I still used it in 2007 when my E70 was in repair.
For comparison, my experience with slicehost:

I lost my credit card and got a new one, so the charges from slicehost were bouncing because they had my old number. They sent me several e-mails about it but I wasn't checking the e-mail account they were sending it to, so this went on for about 2-3 months past due. Eventually I logged onto the e-mail account and found out about it -- I hadn't even noticed anything was wrong because they kept my VM running. I just logged on, payed the $60 or whatever it was in back payments and that was it.

(I don't know whether this is their normal policy or not, so don't use this post as an excuse to try it.)

The answer to that is more of "it depends". Some higher end fingerprint readers actually use small sound waves to verify the ridges on your fingers are indeed ridges instead of a piece of photo paper with a HD fingerprint. Others use your fingerprint in addition to the heat signature your finger gives off, I'm sure there are others I'm not aware of, but both of the above have been proven defeatable with a mold + gummybear like material and warming it up slightly.
An even better idea: Let's live according to probabilities. That will be fun too.
And there are tons of positive results that are pathetic. Study shows that impact of hammer on foot causes sensation of pain compared to control group (p<.001). Obsession with statistics is the culprit not statistics. It's just a tool like another. Not a TOE.

Star Wars didn't borrow ideas from Japan, it "borrowed" a Kurosawa samurai movie "the Hidden Fortress", added some aerial scenes inspired by "Midway" and did it in space.
That's full VLC in wasm.
I find exactly the same thing. Hugo is perfect for me, it does exactly what I want it to do and has all the features I’ve wanted in a static site builder, but despite having used it for a couple of years, I still cannot find what I’m looking for in the documentation.
I installed a chrome extension called "Unpinterested!" which does just that - removes all pinterest results from image search.

It was one of those cases where I was getting ready to build it, and then I thought "wait, I bet this already exists for free." Sure enough....
While this is part of the problem, to me it seems like they didn't have proper restore procedures or at least hadn't tested them enough. There are countless ways to corrupt a database and restoring from backup is part of most remedies.

How long do we have to hear the same "college is a ripoff" fact, wrapped in different stories, before people actually stop promoting a four year degree as the primary post secondary path for young adults? The return on investment has been questionable for quite some time now.
Oh I have a problem with this, too, don't get me wrong. What I was saying is that I find it hard to qualify as 'sexual assault'. In the case of amputating a leg against necessity or your will, as a regular 'assault', probably; it's the 'sexual' part that I think doesn't apply.

Still, in the case of the prostate exam, I'm not sure there is a criminal legal remedy against it. It's not assault, it's not sexual assault, at best it's a breach of patient-doctor confidence. A civil case, to the best of my knowledge. What kind of 'damage' are you going to claim? Statutory damages (for those in countries where these exist) are not going to help because if it can't be qualified under a statute, there's not going to be much 'statutory damage' either. Mental anguish? Maybe. It's a tough sell to most courts in most of the world though.

Doctors may have professional codes of conduct, maybe it's regulated in there, but doctors here in the Netherlands have those too - many of them, being a very regulated country; yet still for years these involuntary examinations were done, without the women knowing even. I see no reason to believe that this situation would be different in every other country of the world; in other words, if it happens in the Netherlands, I would find it logical that the same things happen in other countries. Not all other countries, just some.
Well, I'm pretty sure that getting "fscked" is not that bad. I mean, running file-system checks is probably a good idea to do periodically.
Just out of curiosity, I created two gists with the P4P examples coded using the tab syntax I mentioned -

C, so I could see early on whether it'd be a productive venture.
Why, exactly, are they absurdly priced?

One would think that they, like all things, are in the process of being priced "correctly"-- that is to say, what the market will bear.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the production costs have should bear any relationship to the price. You don't price a Picasso based on the cost of the paint and canvas, do you?
