This article is a piece of shit. The guy has read Tolkien and Moorcock and draw generalizations from there. Man, Moorcock wrote epic pooh in 1978. Apart from this narrow point of view, he executes every other important ideas of Moorcock in few short sentences : its impacts on other writes, the development of the fight between chaos and law instead of good and evil, etc.

And as influence go by, the white walkers of game of thrones are way more moorcockquesque than anything else.

Let's make a piece on the New Yorker that would be called "the anti new york times".
It's ideal for me because of the placement of my windowsill. Since it's on the end away from the showerhead, I can aim the iPad speaker through the gap between the wall and the shower curtain without fear of getting it wet or soapy. If my head is under the shower, I may have a hard time hearing it, but if I am soaping up, it's just fine.
This is a problem I used to have too. Moving the alarm clock some place you can't reach it without standing up seems to solve it for the most part.
They stopped doing that when saturated fats became unpopular. Beef tallow doesn't contain trans fats. They stopped using beef tallow long before most people even heard of trans fats. If you are going to recite nutritional dogma at least get it right.
Nice tip! One small problem: if I set .ssh/config to do the RemoteForward, if I open up two shells to the same host, the second shell complains that it can't set up the remote forward (because the first shell has already set it up). Of course it's not necessary for the remote forward to be established twice--is there any way to get the port forwarding set up once, and only once, for a given host?
Why? We strive for equality among all races, but it's wrong for a black person to be portraying a less than ideal situation?
Yeah I agree, and I think the oil replacement cost is pretty high (one of the top monthly line items after people expenses). McDonalds provides guidelines to franchises and then they decide how to implement, in our case we lived in a small town (an island actually) and I think the cleaning guidelines are "per X batches cooked". But yes, generally the more frequent the better both for the oil and also for the vats.
Since MacDonald's is the Ford assembly line of today I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing. Especially with thousands of "restaurants" around the world.
We've been successfully selling to medium-to-large businesses for a year now.

1) B2B sales is hard and takes a lot longer than in takes Get used to it now and be patient.

2) For us, only two metrics matter. MCRR (monthly committed recurring revenue) and cashflow. Focus obsessively on cashflow because it's easy to confuse booked sales with cashflow. Money comes in a lot later than you expect.

3) In an early stage startup, the CEO should be selling. A sales guy can't replace the passion and product knowledge that a CEO has.

Also you can just take 5mg of melatonin at 21:30 and half an hour later turn off the lights and go to bed. You'll wake up early in the morning refreshed. After 3 days of such therapy you turn from owl into lark. First day may be a bit awkward but effect stabilizes fast. You may stop taking pills after some time but if you do be super careful not to stay up late because if you do you will turn into an owl again equally fast.

Falling asleep after taking melatonin in interesting feeling. Your breath slows down and it gets shallower. It seems that there are some symptoms of genuinely falling asleep but not all of them. Probably because serotonin mentioned in the article is still high (or something). Funny thing that you don't feel drugged. You feel just physical symptoms of falling asleep not the mental ones. You can easily overcome pill you took and perform any task at almost unhampered performance. Even pull all-nighter despite the pill. But if you go to sleep half an hour after the pill you will fall asleep.

520$ buys you 7 year supply of every day melatonin
> The climate crisis WILL utterly destroy human civilization through an ever reducing funnel, an ever tightening noose, and we are currently in the last phase of determining the height of that curves trajectory.

> There is nothing "too extreme" to attempt at this point in time. We should be prepared to spend up to 100% of our resources in fighting this existential threat. Certainly giving up fossil fuels is not "too extreme". They were due to exit-stage-left decades ago.

Ew. I did the sustainability minor with my chem e degree - so I understand the importance of action on climate change.

People like you with the hysterics and dramatic statements make everyone else roll their eyes and remember all the doomsaying articles they've been reading forever.

I think you should just leave this to the adults.
I think the point I'm making is that a work truck is more about efficiency and ease of use. Having to open a door and sift through a bunch of tool bags or whatever isn't going to be fun, fast, or easy. Same with the bed - I would not want to get into the bed of a truck and go to the very back to get my tools every time. And if I had loaded the bed with something - I'm really gonna be feeling the crunch.

A van can be a good work vehicle as well but I think for a lot of tasks - it's not the right one. Getting in and out of the van is an issue. And if you make it to where you're not getting in and out of the van then you're ultimately not utilizing the space fully. (Unless it opens from all sides I guess - but then you're dealing with doors again unless they fold onto the body all the way)

The article is mostly condemning conspicuous consumption - not really relevant to the points here.
This isn't a tech startup.
A large number residential proxies and fake LinkedIn accounts would look the same to LinkedIn as normal browsing.
These occur in social media without reprisal?

And it is partly a matter of worldview. I consider abortion to be murder, and it is glamorized across both the news media and in the fictional media. That's why I say the problem is more that the old guard has achieved better uniformity with its output.

I'm looking for a programer. Please email at johnq30@hotmail.com if interested in me sending you platform deck
I tell myself that I will merely write down the steps needed to complete the task. Just a rough draft, at first, and that’s it. Maybe just 3 steps. I then add more steps, breaking the 3 steps into smaller sub-tasks. I then add some details, and thoughts, notes of things that I shouldn’t forget when doing this task. I just think the task through and write everything down. After a little while, I will be a proud author of “The Complete Guide To Finishing Task X for Dummies”.

I have exactly the same problem, but I don't think it's laziness. I think it's the fear of failure, or more precisely the fear and uncertainty of being able to do a task. Breaking the task down into smaller steps, make you able to overcome that fear but not procrastination.
I'm more concerned with what it is, not how long it took. I am a firm believer in "build half/launch early" etc, but to me greatness is measured on an absolute scale.
Brilliant article.

A great explanation of a pretty technical point most people gloss over. I for one had to learn the lessons of this article the hard way and figure them out for myself. I wish I had read this article before I started using javascript heavily.
I wish I had the skills...
My reaction is usually "I don't care how long it took to build, I care how good it is!"
shhh, let's keep it that way
> Even just shaving your entire dome looks pretty awesome.

It's the one and only look. That's what I miss the most about no longer having hairs, options.
I got the internship after only one year of college, and I had nowhere near the amount of experience necessary to solve the particularly complex project I was in: I was a very good programmer but a very bad engineer.

When I got accepted for my second internship years later I decided to get a real job 3 months prior to learn how to work in teams in the industry. I think this gave me the correct context to do well later.

If I were to give an advice to other third worlders with FAANG internships: work like you've never worked before and like you'll never work afterwards. This will change your life if you do it right.
While security audits are woefully behind the times, they’re not nothing. They do make companies take security seriously, to an extent. The problem with security is that it’s often not enough, you just need one weak spot to break through.
I'm not a programmer, and I love vim and emacs. Not sure why people would dismiss them as being for programming. I edit config files, take notes, manage playlists, and write emails with one or the other. I always miss them when using a text field in a browser.

The dollar has lost more than 90% of its value in just 50 years.

The point is the BPP is proof there is no nefarious conspiracy to manipulate CPI to hide “true” inflation. Amongst the gold-bug hyperinflationist crowd there is a commonly held belief that inflation is much higher than CPI or that CPI is manipulated to hide inflation. The fact that a simple model scraping a few online retailers results in nearly the same annual percentage change demonstrates that this conspiracy theory is a myth.
Impressive work, I didn't know could code!
VPN outside India. Really easy to get around.
>how did they decrypt the file?

keyloggers for example.
Some people have complicated taxes (need to itemize; IRS is missing information). Some people have simple taxes (standard deduction; IRS knows what they owe). Why should the second group have to pay for tax prep software or fill out forms by hand? Just to share the pain of the first group?

I hate to be "that guy", but the first thing I noticed is that this doesn't display properly with NoScript installed and enabled.

Considering that pretty much any content page (news stories, Hacker News, etc.) works just find without JavaScript enabled, this is a wee bit disappointing.

Other feedback: the "x" button that appears when hovering over a removable element seems to get more convex when hovered over, and it loses its rounded edges, turning more boxy. This is on Firefox nightly in Linux.

Also, the skills sections with stars causes the remove (x) icon to reflow the skills section, causing an unsightly jump in the skills. A solution could be to absolutely position the remove button so that it doesn't cause that jump.

Further, the subhead below the name appears to not have enough vertical whitespace separating the two -- this occurs in both the HTML representation and the PDF.

"whether" is spelled incorrectly as "wether".

While the page also seems pretty "responsive" the edit and export tools look awkward at points in between the standard mobile sizes and when it makes the jump to the desktop experience -- specifically, the widths of those panels do not match the width of the résumé preview. There also doesn't appear to be any whitespace between the résumé and further panels.

The contact section also looks awkward in the mobile view -- the icons appear to escape the left margin of the rest of the résumé, and there isn't any whitespace between the name and subhead.

In addition, the capitalization for the editing/export tools is inconsistent -- "Export controls" vs. "Edit Tools", and may be too verbose as labels.

The "ease in" effect for the "Beautiful resumes done in seconds!" seems superfluous to me.

Lastly, the sidebar could probably just stay fixed as the user scrolls through the page, so that it is always available, especially for longer documents.

Wishlist item for me would be an import/export in the native data format for this tool -- plaintext as Markdown (or whatever you are using internally) would be handy, as copying information out of an exported PDF can be challenging.
I always wondered "who in the world uses that stuff?" when I read date library docs. Now I know.

I also remember at one startup when I asked the payroll guy how many pay periods there were that year, he scoffed "26, it's always 26." Well, not with years having fractionally more than 26 ^H^H^H 52 weeks there aren't.
VPN is roughly ok as long as your IP address is not in the blacklist. But it could be unstable. The GFW may drop your connections from time to time.
I am not sure about Tor but I believe it probably doesn't work any more. Private VPN/shadowsocks is now the majority I think.
Wow! Great blog post. I've been looking for something along these lines for a while. The author is correct that Wikipedia's coverage of consistency is difficult to follow, and I don't yet have a deep enough understanding to contribute.
Somehow these and other "gripes" about djb software over the years have never been as interesting or entertaining as the ones djb himself has been sharing with us since the 90's. But complaints are to be expected.

Personally I do not care for libsodium, but to each his own.

Instead I chose to study curveprotect, tinysshd (tweetnacl), qremote, etc. as examples to learn from. Realizing that everyone is capable of making mistakes, but some are less likely than others.
Ok, CLJ/CLJS, your turn ;)
I saw an interesting talk about Soviet WW2 tanks [1] and one of the things it said was the Soviets had done research and determined that a tank survives an average of 14 hours in combat, and in its entire life only needed an engine and transmission able to drive 1500 km

It could cause a crisis of faith in all those who trusted Google as the most secure, safest bet for their data and devices. It's like pulling out a pivotal piece in Jinga, your belief system crumbles.

You probably won't continue to hear, "Since you've gotta' trust somebody, I trust Google."

Unless Google does something drastic, this could destroy all the goodwill Google built into its brand. It could turn Google into Microsoft.
I don't really want to stand up for php, but this just isn't true.

"git push heroku master" comes at a steep price. PHP hosting is, in general, ubiquitous, cheap, and incredibly easy. You can get comparable pricing for ruby hosting, but you'll be doing some server setup yourself.
The ability to run with a small runtime system on bare metal, microcontrollers and such makes Rust, in my opinion, one of the most interesting new languages out there right now.

Native code with a lean and mean runtime system has a lot of advantages over bytecode based virtual machines and slow interpreters.
But sometimes (at least in my case) it seems that even if you put in all that effort, most of it just vanishes into some kind of void. You try to stay in touch with people, but no matter what you do, they keep drifting away. Which then leads to thinking "Why even bother putting in the energy, if I'm the only one trying".

It's a vicious cycle.
"Being there at the right time" is pretty much the only redeeming quality it has, and it's not so much a quality of the language, is it?

"Easy to learn" is not the same as giving beginners quick rewards. Being easy to learn, in reality, would probably result in things like Wordpress not having more holes than a swiss cheese.

"Powerful enough" -- most web frameworks are. Saying that it didn't happen by accident of course depends on how you define accident. Personally I think the only thing PHP has got going for it is the timing and next point:

"Dead easy to deploy" again isn't a property of the language. Saying that "almost no language delivers this" about something that's really up to the service you're using to host your website isn't fair, in that it actually has nothing to do with the language.

I must say that I wholeheartedly agree with your closing statements, though.
Slow, yes, but probably fast enough for most people.

Why would it be hard to maintain?
That always struck me as odd too, since the Earth itself is ~4.5 billion years old. It just seems odd that our little planet has been around (in some fashion) for a significant portion of the lifetime of the universe.
Purchases are measured by value, not quantity. What is the point of stating a number in advance? They have no idea what startups will be doing next year. A single good acquisition could transform them. A careless gathering of 15 useless companies would call into question the intelligence of the management, and affect their IPO. Money can be spent on a lot of other things, too. Nothing is clear yet. A non-story until they actually acquire something next year.
But does anyone know thisisnotapasswordthisisnotapasswordthisisnotapassword ?

On average, how many hours do you work per week overall? And on which days (weekdays, weekends, etc.)?
> people on the right vastly overestimate the size of their presence on the web.

Slightly off topic:
This presents an interesting thought exercise- how would that stat be calculated? Does a dev with a github repo, Twitter account, and active account on a discord server have more or less of a presence on the web than a retiree with a Facebook account, two yahoos, and a google profile that frequently comments on the youtube videos they binge watch daily?

Not disputing, just musing.
>and even the smallest repairs must be handled in Apple shop

only fair for Apple to enter cars after Tesla copied its servicing practices/policies.
I have to agree. But politics as we know them are insufficient. It requires leadership committed to changing hearts and minds to bring about the culture that the changes require. I don't have high hopes regardless, since our culture now can be summarized as "me, above all else", and that's about as for away from the culture we need as you can get.
> Let europe live in mud huts for a few centuries.

This kind of vindictive rhetoric is probably something we should try to avoid in times like these. Even if you’re just “trying to make a point”.

Really our only chance of solving the climate is doubling down on high tech. Turning Europe back centuries would be clearly counterproductive.
Indeed confusing.

But this: " “we must get statehood on the president’s desk within the first 100 days of there 117th Congress,”

... is obviously a hugely politicaly partisan point (it throws the supposed balance of power off in favour of 'one side') and , not exactly related to the specific issue of 'Metro Security'.

The statement is really odd because 'DC Statehood' is a big political landmine (she knows this), and the statement just adds the possibility of partisan furor right a time when it's the last thing needed.

My hunch is that all of this was mostly a result of DC not expecting huge crowds (I don't think the raw numbers were massive) - and - the expectation that because it was a political rally, that it would be much like Trump's other political rallies, which is to say, relatively uneventful, and not riotous. Certainly not 'assaulting the Capitol building'. I wonder if that is even within their imagination for what could go wrong, although I suppose it should be.

I don't buy the conspiracy theories that the guards 'let them in', that's clearly not the case for the most part, although there are some guards who very oddly seemed to 'move away'. These kinds of conspiratorial actions would be impossible to keep under wraps, there's no chance that at least a few guards wouldn't 'leak' the 'secret plans' or whistle-blow after the fact.

It'd be great if there was a really objective piece by piece breakdown of all of this, but I'm not holding my breath.
In the beginning, you will want to train your attention, a practice called "samatha" which will allow you to concentrate for a extended periods of time with single pointed attention. After being able to concentrate on a single point such as your breath or a mantra, you will be able to do cool stuff with insight meditation. It's also important to keep a daily sitting routine. I meditate for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 at night. Every month I try to do a 4 hour sit on a Sunday morning. Find a teacher or a sangha. Check out many different lineages. I tried Soto Zen, Rinzai Zen, and even Vedanta before ending at Tibetan buddhism.
Rather than "cold schmoozing" at conferences, I think it is great to go for a cool diner at a table where people are interested to talk to each other around a general interest. The YC interview tables this week are a great example. Good luck to Grubwithus team.
In my contract it is not only weird but somewhat illegal for me to leave and work for a supplier - especially one I just approved a big order from.

If it's perfectly reasonable that I'm prohibited from working for our printer paper supplier (however much I respect them) why is it ok for a government official to skip to a company that he wrote a big taxpayer check to?
"And a police spokesman said that the summonses were part of a larger campaign to clean up the park, driven by complaints from residents about crime.
“There’s been an effort over time to address these concerns, and a lot of it begins with very simple innocuous violations such as this,” the spokesman said."

Why couldn't this effort instead begin with addressing the crimes that residents were complaining about? If they're complaining about, say, drug dealing in this playground, why not deal with that first and leave the chess players until after the real problems have been fixed (or try removing the chessboards...).
That is $1 per sale :). Maybe your account is worth $10-$20 total.
Antimatter munitions scare me personally because they're a fail-deadly weapon. If the positron trap fails it goes kaboom. If a thermonuclear bomb fails in any way except a precisely calculated implosion you at worst you get a fissle, at best a guy in Whateveristan in the year 2040 gets his roof collapsed by a slightly radioactive dud.

I hope, the only thing these are being designed for is some gamma-ray laser for a new ground based Star Wars system and not as an actual munition of any sort. The complications are astronomical, especially given that gamma-rays are the EMP-producing portion of a nuclear reaction. An positron trap light enough to be contained in a weapon going off without a tamper to produce an explosion from the gamma-ray heating could be devastating for a modern society.

I'd never call playing god with this shit, I call playing stupid.

> It's amazing that these documents were discarded so carelessly.

If there are criminals (and there are) at least let's hope they are incompetent and stupid they can be found and caught easily. Or that those chasing them a fast enough for the criminals to make mistakes on their way out.

The former East German government in its final days tried to shred documents, and it did. It left mountains of single strip shredded documents. Well, it turns out it is possible to painstakingly reconstruct those. There is software that can help as well.

They should have burt them, then mixed the ash with water and dumped it in a landfill, but, well glad there were not competent enough or these enacting the change were coming fast enough on their heels.
It's called a Mosquito device. It's specifically aimed at getting rid of young people. It's a pernicious form of ageism.
