I often wonder if there are points in human understanding where there is an opportunistic amount of existing knowledge, current exploration of knowledge, and sets of ideas floating around that lead to these sorts of surges of shared ideas and principles in disciplines.

While it's no doubt from accounts Nuemann was brilliant, I've observed other brilliant people who I feel could be ground breaking minds given the right set of circumstances.

A bit of nature vs nurture, environment vs natural talent. I feel as though humanity often has the Neumann, Einstein, Euler, Ramanujan, etc. but need the right set of circumstances to really shine through. They could just be outliers but when you see a collection of these sort of minds during a time period, I can't help but think there is an environmental factor enabling it. Even people as brilliant as Newton had some equivilance in Leibnez with the invention of calculus (Newton was clearly above and beyond though).
I've been using the Internet since 1992-3. Lately I'm feeling more and more like these 7% have the right idea.
It's literally a quid pro quo? What conspiracy theory do you need here?
I really liked your (now abandonned) understanding-bevy book.
So I'm so glad you are involved in improving the docs!
Again, why do avoid answering the question? When you avoid answering the question, it comes off as more and more sleazy.
Any independent server is of necessity going to be an independent project forever, so I'm not sure what your difficulty is here.
My reaction to this post was similar — is OP sure he actually wants to be a developer? Because honestly, it sounds like a big part of his problem is that he feels like his work lacks meaning. There are many other jobs out there where he might feel more motivated to work.
>> this is seriously going to change my life.

Now I'm curious. Can you give a small code example of the kind of thing this solves and how it will change your life? ;-)
Unfortunately basic HTML has one glaring problem: it has no concept of code reuse. No layout, no shared footers, nothing like that. Frames were probably HTMLs answer to reusing common elements, but oops, frames are a disaster. Instead it was so bad there were actually Apache extensions to reuse HTML (see server side includes).

Then compound this problem with something like a blog where you have hundreds of pages who all need to have their menus updated every time you post something, and yeah...pure HTML is just unacceptable.
Job at a corporate or a company providing B2B products, a small corporate with 100-500 is most bearable. Of course, you need to proof yourself for the first half year or so. Also there are occasional crunches. Actually it can be a win-win as long as you know what you're doing. (E.g. avoid the busy work.) Corporates have a lot of strange politics going on, nobody will ever know or even care. Good luck, although I can tell you that it can still be soul-draining but I can relate to choosing a job for some time to charge up.
Management doesn't even need forum posts to force everyone, they will do it just for their own job security.
Been there, done that. I’m not interested in the paperwork, or the “hustle” of finding projects (though that historically has never been a problem, who is to say it will remain that way when the next dot-com crash equivalent era hits).

Note that “working to live” and not “living to work” is not the same as “not fulfilling your contractual obligation to your employer”, which you absolutely should do.
If you have a boring comfortable job then presumably you can squeeze some time out on the side to polish your craft. You don't necessarily need to make a brash move like quitting tomorrow, instead you need steady measured moves towards you goal. Spend some time each night programming on personal projects. Eventually, yes, you should quit, but it should not be seen as a prerequisite to improve your life.

Also, I suggest listing to Dan Benjamin and Merlin Mann's Back to Work (http://5by5.tv/b2w). Best podcast ever for this sort of thing.
The idea that TikTok is newer and therefore likely to have less baroque policies is at least plausible (not necessarily likely, given China's millennia of bureaucratic praxis), unlike every other response to thread parent's question of how they are different from any other networked social service.
There's always something better on the horizon
and medium
The idea seems like an engineer's misreading of women.

A woman getting dozens of low-effort messages knows that the next message she receives could be from her next amazing relationship. Great people are less common than low-quality pussy-beggars. That's just life.

Charging for messages just optimizes for the sort of loser desesperados who are even open to the idea. It really is just a sugardaddy-finder.
Axios cherry picked the Bureau of Labor Statistics data for the 12 states that confirm the writer's bias. They should have analyzed all states with low minimum wages vs high minimum wages for the overall picture. Reports are out there showing while many of the minimum wage earners who have not lost jobs from the hourly increase are reporting weekly scheduled hours being cut back across the board.
Security isn't the only thing Docker offers, but yes Docker on Linux is a security layer.
Looks like cgi-bin is making a comeback!
I don't think I agree. I think the drug example makes very explicit what the cost of this kind of enforcement is, and as a result a lot of people have very reasonably concluded that the price of enforcement is much higher than the cost of people being allowed to do drugs.

Companies generally follow the law because it's very expensive not to, so much so that it hardly feels like coercion, as you explain. They basically agree that they should act a certain way, which is good for everyone, to be sure, but it's not like they could choose to act a different way. As you say, if they actually refused all the way to the end, they would be dragged off to prison, and we wouldn't necessarily feel bad for them, because the pollution they visited on the surrounding community would be real and terrible. But I think all this illustrates is that sometimes coercion is justified, and where it's very justified, everyone more or less agrees to go along, because people know that they would be dragged off to prison AND look like jerks. I don't think it illustrates that the system isn't that coercive, though.

I think this view of coercion is rather like people consuming more meat because they're so far removed from the slaughterhouse. When you're in a McDonald's, it really doesn't feel like an animal died for that hamburger, it's just another thing to eat.

Likewise, when most people follow the rules to the extent that it doesn't feel like coercion, we forget just how violent the system is to people who refuse to go along (and like I said, that violence may be justified, but the threat of it is never absent).

Edit: I feel like we have been taught that coercion is always bad and never justified and so we want to do mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that what we're doing isn't really coercion, and I think it would be healthier for us to acknowledge coercion where ever it happens and also acknowledge when we all believe that we have found such an obviously correct policy (like no toxic pollution) that not only is coercion appropriate, but any sort of resistance to coercion would be seen as ridiculous. This acknowledgement has the upside of forcing us to be fully aware of the thin line we walk between a fair and just society and a violent and oppressive one.
I thought the "Share for a chance to win*" button was a demo illustrating the kind of button not to click.
The quantities of money are larger, which will attract a different class of scammer.
That's not right. There is no need to store text body in order to index it. Furthermore, you can implement an index of token hashes, rather than an index of tokens.
That's what I recommend as well. Once someone has access to your email, the attacker can then use the "forgot your password?" of most sites to get further passwords and access.
How long are the beds? I'm 6' tall and find that many things are too short. From the pictures, they don't look to be tremendously long (but it is hard to tell).

Also, what's the longest period of time that 4 of you have lived out of one of the prototypes? They look pretty tiny for 4 people. Especially when someone decides they need to get out of one of the upper beds in the middle of the night.
Meritocracy is a myth, didn't you hear?
Or, monitoring software on your computer, the origin of which now has access to the computer, your password, and the token generator.
We are talking logically, not implementation details.

Logically, a C++ pointer and a Java object reference are nearly identical, as described and defined by their respective language standards. Independent of the implementation chosen.

This is not the same as a C++ reference, which is logically an alias (and may be implemented via pointers, but that's irrelevant).

The confusion in this thread stems from people confusing many things, indeed.
Let's have that discussion: what are the US's bottom line requirements to maintain the "Pax Americana"? Do we need Carrier Groups to deal with Somali pirates? Do we need 40,000 people in Germany? (I think everyone will accept the deployment in S. Korea...)
I don't think that affects any of the arguments made.
ICANN has mandated that all whois output be standardized, its part of the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement, there are still some that haven't signed it, but for the most part many many registrars have and their output/field names are standardized. It makes this a much simpler job now.
> The second reads like so much resentment of an amorphous group. I'm not sure why I should prefer your brand to the other.

I don't see resentful language and I built an argument on reasonbaly well-established facts. I understand my point may provoke members of that group; that's not my goal but it may be unavoidable when making a point that critical.

I'd be interested in learning from you where you think the argument falls short. Your comment is only a negative characterization.
I'm not sure I think that it's reasonable for Theo to suggest that one of his key contributing developers was "not fully transparent" about whether he wrote backdoors in the OpenBSD IPSEC code. Theo has no evidence to implicate Jason. Jason served the OpenBSD project with distinction. The matter at hand relates to Jason's personal honor. The instigator of the controversy is a known high-drama person.

I might have hoped to see him stick by his guy.

But then, that's Theo. You take the good with the not-so-good.
I'm not sure if craigslist is going to like craigsforms.
Paul is right...
I personally moved back to the Bay Area in July committed to seriously "get my hack on" in Silicon Valley. It does not take much time or much discussion with Googlers, or attempting to get work with Google itself, to realize that Google has turned into a giant bureaucracy. The vibe is snobbish and lazy, not unlike the hare that sits on its butt and promptly loses the race to the turtle. I can state confidently that Google no longer wants talent. Google wants un-creative drones in middle-manager positions and interns.

The unspoken message from ex-Googler's seems to be that Google is consistently morphing into a big uncreative bureaucratic embarassment.
Let me quote you out of context: "eat more ... eat more ... more ... eat more ..."

I don't think they stay skinny by eating more. (I know, you mean "eat more of this good thing relative to the bad things".) But eating less on an absolute scale is probably a critical component.
The french did pass a law about using french in official government publications, in all advertisements, in all workplaces, in commercial contracts, in some other commercial communication contexts, in all government-financed schools, and some other contexts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toubon_Law

The french wikipedia page mentions that this law was later substantially watered down by the constitutional council.
How about "He who travels gets there."
In the long run, having a language with words of diverse etymologies makes a language harder to learn, cf. English.

Interesting point. I wonder to what extent that would continue to be the case if words were regularized (with respect to conjugation and plurals, as well as with respect to spelling).
Exercise. It provides some balance to many other things, including via an increased sense of well being and enhanced concentration.

Exercise in ways you genuinely enjoy. (For me, it was cycling.) Drudgery begets sloth.

(This is one point of advice, not intended to be the whole enchilada.)
What kind of practice did you do? Leetcode exercises or something else?
> flatpak portals are cool so long as you don't mind manually approving all file access

And by “manually approving all file access” you mean “opening the file in the file picker like normal”, right? There are some apps where using a file picker at all is awkward, but I’d argue in most applications it’s basically what you’d do anyway. Certainly most applications that non-developers would use.

The bigger problem is that lots of Flatpak applications still don’t use portals.
> It’s a very top down company and the lower tier folks aren’t necessarily encouraged to question things, but more of a “do as I say”.

Asking as someone who has 0 experience with either, but this is how I’ve heard Apple works too? If so, why is Apple doing well while Samsung is not?
I'm curious about how you'd evaluate this author's solution. Where it does rank on the rubric you used compared with some of the other ways people approached the problem?
I have the ability and means and still wouldn’t do it. Even $120/year is nothing compared to the time I’d lose setting up and maintaining the system. It just doesn’t make monetary sense.
You act like its a pointless pursuit to try something experimental for fun just because you're bored. That is your point, no?
C and assembly should work pretty well. As an alternative you can also look into Forth, a cool language that's easy to get running on the bare metal, and spans the levels from assembly to C and above.

A Forth machine is almost as amazing as a Lisp machine, and the language share some similarity in spirit, also (or maybe because) they are almost their exact opposites in almost all technical aspects.

(See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language) for an overview.

"Forth is currently used in boot loaders such as Open Firmware, space applications, and other embedded systems.")
Treating all citizens respectfully and putting science above superstition (read: religion) fundamentally violates the basic principles of a large number of human cultures.
I read it to be they created a chip that runs code written to emulate/virtualize most of the other (non-cpu) logic on a motherboard. so instead of 10 "io" chips and 10 "memory" chips most of which are idle they have 15 virt chips which may act as either "io" or "memory" depending on demand.

I guess (de)muxing is close to that? Multiplexing many "request" amongst fewer real(non-virutal) objects.
So you're saying google could send a cease and desist to all microsoft employees and keep them off of google.com?

Isn't the ruling considering automated scraping in some way different from normal browsing?
And certain powers, I'd argue, are pretty bad to decentralize. Decentralizing the power to inflict massive violence leads to a ton of death, especially during the change in power.
Perry Street Software | New York, NY | Product Manager; Mobile Developer | Remote (WFH) | Full-Time

The publisher of SCRUFF (www.scruff.com) and Jack'd (www.jackd.com), two of the worlds largest queer dating apps, is hiring for Product Manager and Mobile Developer (iOS or Android). Today we are 100% remote, though normally we run a distributed engineering team (1/2 in NYC, 1/2 remote). Our company connects millions of gay, bi, trans and queer people around the world every day. We also take our responsibility to build a safe space seriously, and that's why we're the only major social app not to integrate with Facebook/Instagram and not to incorporate any third-party ad networks.

As a Product Manager, you are a passionate, customer-facing and hands-on team member who will help define the future of Jack’d and SCRUFF. You are a problem solver who is happy collaborating with a team to help grow and transform our products. You get excited by new and existing technologies on your phone. You conceptualize how this will empower our community to better connect with each other and how to enable users to better express their authentic self. You enjoy working with other people and are motivated by the current and potential power of our platform.

As a Mobile Software engineer, you'll be working with the latest technologies (Swift, Kotlin, RxJava, ReactiveSwift) in evolving the architecture for current and future needs in order to develop innovative, consumer-facing mobile products, while supporting the product roadmap. You'll deploy and help us evolve our client into an MVVM architecture. And you'll have an opportunity both to go deep in a specific platform and be exposed to technologies across our stack.

It's a question of whether or not what is emitted is mechanically derived from the source. With waifu labs, there is user input, but a similar tool could be setup to deterministically generate images from the input, and that is arguably purely a derivative of the inputs, though there is still some creativity in determining how to process the inputs and construct the NN &c.

Now some philosophers will argue that human creativity is purely a derivative of the inputs, but copyright law certainly does not consider it to be so.
In 2013 Google said it would have autonomous cars by 2018

In 2017 Google said the cars would be available in months according to the article.

Last year Elon Musk said there would be 1mm robo taxis by the end of 2020.

These corporations leverage the public's lack of understanding to spin a tale to investors and the market. Then, this tale got co-opted by politicians like Andrew Yang who say 4 million truckers will be out of work in 5-10 years, so we need to vote for him + UBI to protect us from the threat of AI in the future.

The view I take is that planes have pilots for a variety of reasons, many of which are not related directly to controlling a plane's path. We have 30 years of data on flight and flights have fewer inputs to analyze, yet we still keep pilots around because of the added sense of security and the utility pilots serve on edge cases.

I think self driving cars will be very similar and the future where no one drives probably will not exist for a long time.

Another thing I find interesting, the retort most bring to driverless cars is that they will prevent needless deaths, but say for example America has 40,000 deaths due to car crashes per year, and 20,000 are preventable, but autonomous vehicles malfunctioning causes 10,000 deaths. So a net result of 30,000 deaths with autonomous cars. In terms of death the result is positive, but now you are relinquishing control over your experience. Someone with excellent driving skills, who never drinks and drives, and who follows the speed limit, faces a way lower risk of death driving. However, self driving cars introduce new risks to that individual, and for that reason I do not I believe the optimal combination for drivers will be the same as for pilots: machinery + individual control.
Yes I do, I am in that category. I have not found a way to make it entertaining enough. Its not like you can watch TV while lifting weights. May be find a good group of people to do it with.
For some people with astigmatism this is a worst case scenario. As you try and read a light font on a dark background in a dark room, the pupil opens up, letting more light in, however opening up the pupil this way exacerbates the effect of the deformed cornea.
One of the funnier HAM licensing questions in the US is when you're allowed to transmit music. The answer?

"When incidental to an authorized retransmission of manned spacecraft communications"

So...not very often.
I'm assuming you're referring to private information retrieval (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_information_retrieval), which is from the same field of research, but may or may not use the same techniques.
Your parents determines your school, so the quality of your school can't be in "others". The only way school could be in "others" in these studies is if parents often put one twin in a good school and the other twin in a bad school, but I strongly believe that isn't the case.
Income is a worthless metric if getting in a moderate severity car accident means I'm going bankrupt and will be mostly unemployable the rest of my life.
> I wish submarine tech had more funding

How much money do you wish was spent on submarine tech? The last two CNOs were submariners, so I'm pretty sure the high water mark has been set rather recently.
Are you hosting your personal website on Fastly? That's $50/mo and it looks like you get almost no traffic! Switch to S3 (cheap) + Cloudflare (free version) and save like $49/mo.
I looked over some of your stuff and I really think you are underestimating your skill sets. Experience is helpful but you can do so much without it, too. I think other people have great advice you should listen to.

Although you can do so much with your programming prowess, going to college would only help. See if you can get into community college. Spend an year or two there, work hard, make friends, and then transfer out to a better school.
I found that a standing desk forced me into better ergonomics. While I don't think that most of the purported health benefits are well substantiated, just simply having to stand straight meant better ergonomics for me. Things like keyboard height for wrist alignment and monitor height for eye alignment become static variables. Slouching, crossing legs, adjusting seat height, adjusting seat recline resistance, etc all become non-issues.
So, you clicked 'back', and it took you back to the last page you viewed. And that's unexpected behaviour?

I would theorise that the only reason you expected the back button to return you to HN was that your expectations have been poisoned by having to deal with the broken behaviour of sites like this made in Flash rather than HTML5.
By then you're hooked and more willing to invest the time.
Isn't this law redundant with the bill of rights? It seems unnecessarily complicated in its wording. It also seems too good to ever pass.
I wonder to what degree this depends on the individual programmer. I had a class in University that used both Ruby and O'Caml (only the more functional aspects allowed for use there) for different projects.

We did Ruby first and O'Caml afterwards (we were to implement a scheme interpreter for the O'Caml project). Anyway, the impression I got was that most students hated O'Caml and loved Ruby, but while it was harder to get used to working in O'Caml I loved what the typing system did for me.

Every time I'm working in a language like Ruby and suffer from a bug a type system would have caught, it frustrates me. Perhaps for other programmers, every time they have to do extra work so the type inference works when in a language like Ruby they wouldn't have to, they get frustrated.

I prefer my frustration up front, and honestly, found that O'Caml told me, "You didn't think of this nimrod" mostly when I needed it, and rarely when it was just being a pain.
It doesn't even need tapered ends, as long as it's sturdy.

Heck, a well-trained person's hands can be quite deadly to someone not wearing armor... and if you know what you're doing, armor won't stop you from ripping someone's arm apart and spiking them into the ground with their own weight + that of the armor -- and yours, if you're feeling particularly aggressive :)
