Honestly how old is "grandma" in 2021? Grandma is probably 60-70 years old, and likely grew up in the "space age" of computers. She likely has a Facebook and uses an Android phone. Grandma should take some time to learn the Linux way, she'll be a better computer user for it.
I agree. My problem is that I am unable to push myself hard enough for such short periods. My explosivity isn’t good enough.

And I have fast recovery which makes typical rest periods too long compared to how hard I’m able to push myself during the thing.

Probably would work better if I got a personal trainer to push me specifically rather than in a group/video setting

HIIT with heavy weights works very well for me, but I don’t have those available at home. When gyms are open I prefer boxing anyway :)
I suppose the charitable interpretation is that it's a short way of saying, "We figured it was probably against some kind of law, but we didn't know enough to understand what specifically or how bad the consequences would be."
do you think your eye is not a sensor ?
Oh, then that is weird. I have no idea.
Very interesting. Do you mind sharing the hardware specifications of your servers? Are you confident that FreeBSD is a secure OS to face the internet, say, as compared to OpenBSD?
Social and health insurance system in Poland seems to be favoring people that are either self-employed or freelancers. Let me give you three examples (I was assuming that 1 PLN ~ 0.33 USD):

- If you are full-time employee in a company then health insurance is relative to your salary (no matter how big it is). The system for calculating it is complicated, but to give you an impression - if you are earning $3000/month, you would have to spend around $230 from it for health insurance.

- If you are self-employed you can pay a minimal amount specified by health department. During first 2 years you have a privilege to pay only 50% of this amount. So if you have started a company in 2010 and you are earning $3000/month, then health insurance will cost you $90.

- Freelancers working on contract basis can pay either a fixed amount of ~100$ (when working exclusively on "umowa o dzielo" contracts) or 9% of the total cost of service (when working on "umowa zlecenia" contract type). By mixing two types of contracts, it's possible for an independent contrator to pay as low as $10/month for health insurance with incomes exceeding $3000.

What example of vertical search engine do you have in mind?

For example I do not buy it when people call Amazon search a vertical SE. They just have search for their own database.
There is a big boom of programmers and designers in Nigeria , the world “tech” is nothing new or fascinating , all genders and species younger than 30 have started their journey to become software developers one way or the other and each company knows they need an “internet” expert .
I can confidently say there isn’t a stack alive that hasn’t been conquered and the word “full-stack” is not only respected but is chased soo vehemently, you might compare it to been knighted.
I think we Europeans sometimes tend to forget that not every society tries to achieve at least a minimum level of public transportation.
A simple method of filtering that occurred to me a long time ago -

Make the service completely free, but require a credit rating above a certain threshold. Possibly apply that to men but not women.
Do Burger King not have disclaimers for this? I've seen small print before in the UK about “Apple sticks” (no prizes for guessing what McDonald's product they compete with) being fried in the same oil as fish.
It's pretty regional. If you live in a place that has eg a bad climate or limited outdoors activities, it might be harder to find local people. You should probably consider hiring remote workers, if you haven't already.

If you are willing to deal with a bit of hassle, hire Canadians. Same timezones, same CS educations, same language, probably a little cheaper (sorry, fellow Canadians), lots of interest in US startups.
There is no "2200 square foot beast". That is just a median home. It's a bit cramped, but adequate. Right now you could get 4400 square feet on a 1 acre lot for $400,000 in Melbourne or Palm Bay.

You CoL difference is only 2x because you are settling for inferior housing. People can do that. You have. Let's not pretend it is good housing however. To get that early retirement, you forgo decades of living in decent housing. The CoL difference is well over 10x with equivalent housing.

That housing deficiency can have an everlasting impact on your family. People in costly and cramped spaces have smaller families. You might not be aware of the effect it has on you, simply thinking that you didn't want that many kids. In retirement, it will be too late to have more kids.
If you regard that as "breaking the stranglehold of party leadership", I don't think you understood kryptiskt's comment. The point (as I understood it) was that it strengthens the party leadership over the bulk of the members.
Whenever I need a table with pagination and export, jQuery DataTables is my go-to tool and it does the job well.
Oh shit, it’s FizzBuzz!
Using the minimum MLS salary is incredibly disingenuous. If you want to be pedantic, might as well use the salary of the tennis instructor at the local YMCA. Athlete level salary in common usage in the US means professional athletes in one of the three major league sports. The average salary ranges from over $7 million in the NBA to $2.7 million in the NFL. That's what is being implied by athlete level salary and it simply isn't the case for most software developers.
Israel is a small country without allies (it didn't then) which was invaded a few times by much bigger nations around it, some of whom, to this day, want to destroy it.

Of all non-superpower nations, Israel's quest for Nukes is probably the most rational.

They have zero will or capability to wage any material war of conquest (beyond East Bank/Golan), there is zero chance that they could feasibly use those weapons to 'invade' Jordan, Syria, Saudi etc.. They couldn't hope to occupy any such territory. Ergo - they can only materially be used for defence. Besides - anything else and the entire world (including the US) would turn on them.

Israel's nukes has not caused others to seek nukes really - that's far flung. Iran is not threatened in any way by Israel.

Ironically - the opposite is true: Iran's nukes will destabilize the entire region and cause major problems. Saudi has access to nuke tech from Pakistan, and if Iran ever for a moment brandishes such a weapon, they will magically appear in Saudi very quickly.

Other players are likely to be able to overcome the geopolitical pressure to avoid them, but the fact is 'they would want to have them'.

Nobody is afraid of Israel, but almost everyone around Iran is afraid of Iran.

The 'conflict' in the ME is no longer Israel vs. Egypt an everyone else, now, it's Iran vs. Saudi and everyone else.
Yes that sounds like a classic futures contract to me. I'd never heard that usury rules applied to financial contracts before.

Its interesting because advance sales are a positional bet similar to a short sell. Are you allowed to sell the Salam sale contract to a third party? Apologies for all the questions this is fascinating.
While I understand what everyone is complaining about, I have no problems or failures with any of them, except a battery swap on the 2015 13" when it started swelling up after 2000 cycles. The keyboards and trackpads are different but I can do my work on them just fine all the same. The 2017 has the benefit (to me) of working a bit like the Magic Keyboard 2, the 2019 is not that much different from that, and as far as the other user-facing I/O is concerned, the screen, sound, ports and palmrests are all pretty good. The 2015 is starting to feel a bit odd (small keys, small trackpad) and without Thunderbolt 2 the I/O would not have the bandwidth I wanted.

The only thing I have had break was a 2009 MagSafe charger, the insulation somewhere in the middle started getting brittle, probably some sort of chemical reaction causing it to lose its flexibility. But since I only have 1 MagSafe first revision device left it doesn't matter that much. (and I don't use it that much either)
Oh, that's disappointing, I'm often talking while typing to take notes.
I don’t think there is any rush at all for Apple to do anything to support Linux on macs that are only a couple of months old.

However I absolutely think they should produce a Bootcamp equivalent designed to support Linux on all Macs and iOS devices that Apple no longer supports with MacOS.
In two decades I have never dealt with ASP.NET, Javascript, or kubernetes. Those are not on the checklist that HR will use.

No assembly skills? REJECTED

It's literally in the interview. Most of the interviews that I've had, including all of the ones that led to employment, included questions about assembly. Even when I interviewed on-site at Amazon in Seattle, they asked about assembly.
Ryanair today is not what it was even five years ago -- they did transition to a much more customer friendly airline crowned in 2018 by a new baggage and boarding policy https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/new-bag-policy-from-novem... Just buy priority, it's 6 EUR , it's nothing.

Their app is well designed and easy to use. You can contact them via chat and it's free.

Ryanair is OK. Yes, you need to understand they will often be very strict with the rules but that's why they are rules and be aware of the airports they use and you'll be just fine.

I used to be a "strict no" to Ryanair but the last few years I've flown with them. It's OK.
Maybe you just need a warrant?
Hmm that’s super weird, M1 or Intel CPU? Also where does ‘which python3’ point to?
No, not exactly. We still dont know if we are able to give healthy births with no or less gravitation.
No, it's against the PCI guidelines to store the CVV number under any circumstances [1].

I'm not a PCI expert but as I understand it, if a merchant does store CVV numbers they can be fined for doing so.

But that fine will be chicken feed compared to the costs Sony will incur if they are found to have leaked credit card details [2].

I don't understand. I signed up, I logged in, but it only lets me add an appointment at 7AM. Is this a bug or a feature?

EDIT: I guess I have to edit by hand and type the time? Not liking that.
But if we never dreamed it so, then we never would have tried and never would have broken down those other barriers. Just the fact that we've broken down all those other barriers inspires me to believe.
This blog is amazing. Thanks for posting it.
This is not to be underestimated.

Obviously patriotism devotion to country and Constitution was very much desirable for recruits. The problem is a few of those patriots actually believe in the Constitution which at this point would make them quite dangerous. They would need to be filtered out and/or continuously brainwashed and monitored.

"We want you to be patriotic, but not too much, just enough to swallow our brainwashing".

The problem is it attracts undesirable people. They already have tons of polygraphs which accept either extremely honest people, or psychopaths. This will attract people who would have been happy working for the Stasi, SS or KGB -- particularly vile authoritarian types.

Remember that even during the unpopular wars the military attracted people who just wanted to play with guns and kill other people. Same with police force. Bullies from high-school grow up want to keep bullying but they can do it within the law.
At the very least Microsoft should include some base level keyboard with the device and keep an upgrade available.
> In April 2012, during a joint operation with the Houston police and the local transit police, people boarding and leaving city buses complained that T.S.A. officers were stopping them and searching their bags. (Local law enforcement denied that the bags were searched.)

> The operation resulted in several arrests by the local transit police, mostly for passengers with warrants for prostitution and minor drug possession.

Not really meeting the criteria you're talking about.
This would be perfect for my pets items. I always buy the same products for them, and the pet store is always a detour from my typical shopping routine. I would even like to have a macro button, that combined hard food, soft food, and litter all in one order!
I started out really skeptical about this, but as time progresses, I find myself trusting tor less and less. This move seems slimy; rather than hire another dev, they're hiring a PR firm. why does open source software need a PR firm?
Probably less of an issue than you think. It's pretty common in DC. There are recruiters who specialize in placing people who work in "Clearance" jobs.

Your 'back of the envelope calculation' was in error, and in a way that affected the conclusions you drew. You claimed that the new Stanford FinAid policy introduced a 'cliff' (negative returns for increased family income), but it doesn't.

I'm not making any other claims about the merits of progressive taxation, price discrimination by universities, or economic policies affecting the working class. I'm just pointing out your error so that other readers don't rely on your calculations.

From the fine article:

"Stanford will expect no parental contribution toward tuition [~$45K for 2015-6] from parents with annual incomes below $125,000.... And there will be zero parental contribution toward tuition, room or board [~$65K for 2015-6] for parents with annual incomes below $65,000"

So your table should read:

28% federal income tax ($28,000)
9.3% California state income tax ($9,300)
Reduced Stanford FinAid ($45,000)
Total: ($82,300)

This is admittedly a very high marginal rate, but it is not negative.
So what's exactly your point? How does Mozilla interfere with your life and worsen it, so that wishing them to "die" would be justified?

Why don't you just ignore them? Why do you want thousands of people to lose their job and why do you want to take away an open source software that's liked by millions of users?
How can you get "consultant" jobs?

Before emigrating, it was somehow easy to find those kind of jobs through my network. But after moving to another country I haven't found those kind of jobs anymore. Any tips?
That's a maxim I apply in general, but given that we know there are, in fact, known malicious actors purposely introducing flaws to security software, I think it might be a mistake to reflexively apply it here.
It took them 7 days to fully test the patch. LinkedIn's team for instance responds in 2 hours.
Could I trouble you to elaborate on that a bit? I'm not sure I understand why XML would be better than JSON in that case.

I agree that TLS bugs aren't unusual. This is one of the reasons I don't trust TLS for anything serious. ;-)

But as I said a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7284957) I think this far more likely to be an NSA-exploited bug than an arbitrary-code-execution bug in Flash, because it's something which can be exploited widely and quietly without worrying about accidentally causing new versions of the program to core dump and reveal the presence of the bug.

I hate to say it, but I think you're being insufficiently paranoid.
He wasn't trying to write something faster than C, he was just establishing a good baseline. He makes that clear in the article when he specifically addresses the fact that compiling with optimizations removes the loops.

(I wonder, did the people who upvoted you actually read the article?)
This is spam. What is this doing on the HN front page?
Cool. I didn't know there was anything like Fluid.app. I'll give it a try.
I have to ask what benefits your idea offers over something like diigo.com or even delicious.com. You present the idea slightly differently from diigo, but in the end diigo does exactly the same things, and then some (a lot more actually). I don't mean to discourage you at all, I'm just wondering what I may be missing here.
For every fractally-type enclosing shape, yes they will. And when you talk about the limit, then you have a circle.

You can't talk about moving "zero distance horizontally and zero distance vertically" becuase then, as you rightly say, we're back to Zeno. You don't have an infinitely zigzagging line. That way of trying to think about things is a dead end, and unhelpful.

Better answers are given elsewhere in this thread.
You really do need to use Flash, AFAIK. I investigated this a while ago.

Firefox has an API, but the user has to change an option to specifically allow access to the clipboard.

In the end, I figured it wasn't worth it, and that programmatically selecting the textbox was 90% of the functionality without all the headache.
I have a few comments on this because I feel this is actually very useful to me. I'm working for myself right now, doing some projects I wanted to do a long time ago but I'm also consulting on the side. This consulting thing is really tricky because I'm some sort of firefighter, I just keep working on my stuff until the phone rings and there I go in emergency mode. Thing is, at the end of the week I kind of lost track of whatever I did on that week! So I know I went to the office to take care of some problems thus the phone ringing but besides that what the hell have I actually done? Most of the time I have the feeling I didn't do anything besides that even if I only worked there for one or two days.

Enter OhLife. I'm addicted to it because every single day it reminds me to write some words about what have I done that day. Instead of keeping it as a personal emotional diary I just use it as a work log replying with minimal answers like "consulting" or "project x" but in the end I have no real stats about it, just a work log (which is fine, it was never a problem).

Now you built DoneCal and when I saw the video I was surprised, you actually thought about a better way to do this type of simples logs but with stats. Care to explain why you did it in the first place? Did you have this or any other problem?

As you can pretty much guess by now, I think it would be awesome for DoneCal to remind me of what have I done at the end of the day, just like OhLife does. I understand it might be annoying for most people so either you make it and promote it as the way it works or you add a new option or you just don't mess with it at all.

That's my use case. As for the app itself, it's very nice, good work!
If you mean by "qualitative difference" that they differ in some substantial way, please describe what that difference is, rather than asserting that it exists.

Java interprets bytecodes, Python interprets bytecodes. Java has JIT, Python has a JIT (`import psyco`). Where is the substantial difference between these two?

If all you mean by "qualitative difference" is that they use different bytecodes, then you're not saying very much.
As a point of disagreement, coming from the Nexus One, other than the comment about the phone feeling a bit cheap due to the plastic body, everything else on the phone seems fantastic.

The screen is beautiful, responsive, and I don't see any fishbowl effects. The curve of the screen is actually really nice because it both makes it easier to reach the top of the screen and makes it noticeably more comfortable when making calls. The colors on the screen are amazing: the black notification bar even matches the black housing so well that it literally looks like the notification icons are displayed on the plastic shell rather than the screen itself.

To me, the Nexus S is noticeably faster than the Nexus One, in both software and network speed, and I rarely notice any jitters. I've made plenty of calls with the phone already and have never had the dialog error he describes. All of the hardware buttons work perfectly fine for me, so if he does indeed have a broken phone, that shouldn't be a knock against the Nexus S itself, only Samsung. And how is lacking tech support (which is par for the course with Google-designed phones) being listed under "buggy"?

I really rate Microsoft's free Office Lens for document scanning. It automatically crops and there are a few filters you can experiment with to get the best result and the output to PDF or whatever.

An IDE is never going to be as flexible as a unix environment. It can deliver some of that, but it's likely you will run into limitations sooner or later.
It's funny -- I was reaching for a phrase to describe your post, remembered reading the phrase grinfucker on a blog post linked here, searched, and it's your blog! Small world. It's not quite the phrase I need, but I'd like to repurpose it.

So Mark, the deal is simple -- your post was about grinfucking employees, trying to convince us that a behaving in a way almost exclusively in employers' interests is actually in employees' interests. So, you know, say whatever you want to whoever you want, it's your reputation. But when you get called on it, even in language with naughty words, sack up. And frankly, I responded exactly the way I would in person -- I don't like it when people try to sell me a line.
> You are living a lie if you consider yourself fit or healthy

Nah, I think I'm fine. I run 7 miles every two days, and cycle nearly every day. I'm not going to stop doing that as I enjoy it and because I don't have a car. I look pretty normally muscular, perhaps even a bit more than the average guy and don't look very thin.

> Start eating more.

Perhaps, but I don't like eating when I'm full. What I ate today: 3 slices of bread with butter and cheese, 4 tomatoes, 3 pears and half a melon and some yogurt with sugar. Dinner: salad of 3.5 peppers & 1 zucchini with plenty of olive oil, pork (100-200 grams I think?) fried with oil and cream & mushroom sauce, pasta, cheese, and again yogurt with sugar (I omitted things that don't contain calories). So what do you suggest?

BTW ectomorph is a funny name, it sounds like an insect.
You forgot the s on Android markets.

Unlike Apple, there's more than just the default.
Calling a $250 billion company a young growth stock seems somewhat ambitious. They're dominant in several product categories, a very significant player in others, and have room for really significant growth in only a few.

Much like AT&T, I suppose.

Personally I'm bearish on Apple's long term prospects for this reason: right now they're making a killing on selling mp3 players, a category in which they have a market share approaching 100%. But this is a dying category -- in the future people will increasingly listen to music on their phones, and Apple has some very serious competitors who aren't going to let Apple take over the entire mobile phone market.
I can see both sides of this - the truly ridiculous part of this story was this:

"It is utterly depressing that there are so many people like her facing decades of payments, limited capacity to buy a home and a debt burden that can repel potential life partners."

You know what ... anyone who would walk away from you because of your student debt is NOT a potential life partner.

This would be less of an issue with a smaller team like Shopify. As you get bigger you're right, it starts to become a popularity contest. At < 30 employees though, everyone knows who is making real contributions.
