Stephen King has a good article, "Everything You Need to Know About Writing Successfully: in Ten Minutes," which answers the question: are you a talented writer or not?

http://www.greatwriting.co.uk/content/view/312/74/

And I think it's the same thing which distinguishes dabblers from generalists - generalists have talent. They might not be the best, but they have talent.

tl;dr King defines talented writers as those who ship
I think it's always just meant 'liquidity'.
And yet, you can always get around it.
The main pinch-point is lithography machines, from what I have read. Companies like ASML [1] produce these room-sized machines to order, and the turnaround approaches 2 years from PO to delivery, depending on process node and wafer size.

If you want to go from machine to cluster in no time, use the following:

- kubeadm (read the logs)

- k0s

- k3s

If you want to understand everything though, the way I started was:

- read the kubernetes documentation front to back

- go through setting up a cluster the hard way (look up the kubernetes the hard way guide)

- set up ingress on that cluster (nginx ingress), and make sure you understand the interplay between kube-proxy, ingress, services, and your deployment. The actual flow is more like kube-proxy->iptables/lvs->containerd but you want to be able to “think in k8s” (i.e know where to look and have an idea what to check when something goes wrong).

- install cert manager for free https certs

- tear that cluster down, and set a cluster up with kubeadm
(This will be much easier, and you’ll know what it’s doing because the logs are great and you’ve done it before)

- tear that down and make a cluster with k0s/k3s

I want to point out that it really depends on what your goals are. Kubernetes is useful to me because it’s a one stop shop for a wide range of possibilities.

If you just need to get an app up as fast as possible, install caprover/dokku on a DO droplet and git push to deploy.
Having a minor make unpaid contributions to benefit your startup is unethical, if that is what you are asking about.

Ordinary employment is the simplest way to have ownership of the work done on your behalf (in the US).

In terms of long term consequences, don't work with people you can't trust.

Good luck.
It supports a workflow where you make commits without having to associate them with branches. It's similar to the Mercurial workflows used at Google/Facebook.
It’s a rare moment on HN when a commonly maligned CMS written in a commonly maligned language gets such high praise for its default behavior. Just commenting here in hopes I can come back and reflect on the weird disconnect between UX and nerd preference.
XHTML is also valid HTML, so both are true.
I certainly agree the motivations of the people attending are a problem. But again, it's systemic. Locke and Spender cover it well.

You keep being sure about Toyota without any knowledge. That's very MBA of you, but I don't think it advances the discussion. The executives who turned it into a global power were engineers. And that engineering orientation was vital to the creation of the Toyota Way. Deeply influenced by W Edwards Deming, an engineer and statistician.

Nobody is denying that "boring" things like finance are important. Indeed, I'm saying the opposite. My point is that giving somebody a quick education that covers many "boring" things in a shallow fashion is not a great way to create executives. It is a great way, though, to create a glib executive caste that is good at extracting cash. Which is why executive comp has risen massively over the decades even though few would argue that executives are massively more competent.

You might be right that the MBA is better for people who have already developed actual expertise. But the average age of Harvard MBA applicants is 27, and only 12% are over 30. So if you're correct, then we can at least agree that most MBA grads shouldn't be in charge of anything.
In my mind what I wrote was obviously sarcastic, but apparently it wasn't. Poe's law strikes again I guess.
Sure, but some things are riskier than others - I'm saying that I'm looking for something reasonably low risk :)

It always worked fine for me. /usr/local is not even writable by the user I normally use, so it would have caused an error if Homebrew tried writing there - which it didn't. If you're seeing issues when installing to alternate locations, file a bug report.
Interesting, it was armenians first, but then Greek Orthodox people, Assyrians and Syriac Christian are also added to list huh?

Nobody suddenly dropped dead i guess, but deportation is one thing, genocide is another. Deportation of armenians were ordered by von Schellendorf, for the armenian separatist gangs were causing way much trouble on the eastern side, assaulting on mostly kurdish villages, as well as turkish villages. During deportation, kurds tried to take revenge of these assaults. Deportation, illnesses and such seems to have claimed some lives too. You can find some more details on these assaults in Soviet Russias military reports in 1915, such as Brigadier General Leonid Bolhovitinov's.

The interesting thing is: sad stories do not seem to require proof. For example, if a million is dead, then it should have been easy to find mass graves on the route. Where did a million corpses go, did barbaric ottomans eat them?

Another interesting thing is: you are in the middle of a world war, and you suddenly give up fighting the enemy, and start wasting your arms and forces on a million of unarmed civillians, seems logical huh?

These sad stories are nothing but stories that mostly have roots in some event but grew more and more in peoples mouths in years, like religious fairy tales. People love drama, and when the story is touching, they do not seem to look for any proof for believing.
Over the holidays, I've put together a web app which counts how often a stock or Bitcoin is mentioned on twitter. Interestingly, Bitcoin dominates even the most popular SP100 stocks by big margin
I used to work at a company that provided WiFi service at apartment complexes around 10 years ago. I ended up just assigning every access point a different SSID for each access point to reduce the amount of counterproductive roaming. Some drivers were way better at AP selection than others.
Have you heard Pete Hunt's angle on "Separation of Concerns" vs. "Separation of Technologies"?

> As with any business in the world of capitalism, the spammers are free not to send their email to people in California. The difficulty of this is immaterial, companies have to deal with the uneven landscape of state laws all the time.

Question: what makes Objective-C horrible? I quite like the way it manages to remain moderately performant while also giving many of the benefits of dynamic languages. (Personally, I find Java horribly restrictive, but that's a separate discussion.)

Also: "several thousands of dollars" is incorrect. The minimum is about $1,000 for a Mac Mini (perfectly good for most development) and two testing iPod touches, but you might even have some of those to start with. (And that's all assuming you don't get anything used/refurbished/etc, which is another reasonably-sized discount.)

These ultra-centifuges spin at 1000-1500 revolutions per second and can easily break when not carefully controlled. The Zippe-type centrifuges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zippe-type_centrifuge) are probably used in Natanz for enrichment. During the spinning, a temperature gradient of 300C is applied to the cylinder which induces a convection inside (filled with uranium-fluoride gas). The lighter fraction collects at the top and is captured. These centrifuges operate in a vacuum, and can turn frictionless due to magnetic bearing.
Yeah, this is stupid.
I'd love to say I agree, but I can't count the number of times I've been asked to deliver a list of bugs/issues/vulnerabilities in an Excel spreadsheet. --shudders--
Chargebacks are such a pain in the ass that any number of chargebacks is a lot, in my book. One of the reasons I chose PayPal when we were switching providers a while back was to get better, and finer-grained, anti-fraud capabilities. It's still an issue, but it's manageable now.

Interestingly, adding a really expensive product (about $1000) to our store provided a nice mechanism for catching fraud. Nearly 100% of our fraudulent orders purchase the really expensive product right off the bat, while most of our legitimate purchasers of that product buy a less expensive one first, and then upgrade to the more expensive version later. So, I automatically flag orders for the most expensive product, and interact with the customer personally before letting the order go through. This is also a pain in the ass, but it does reduce the number of chargebacks.

What I'd like to hear is of Apple publishing some guidelines for its reviewers to follow to ensure this kind of thing happens less often. Something like, if you have to confirm that you're over 17 to use it, it's OK for it to have nudity, sex, whatever's legal. Maybe they don't want to become purveyors of goatse apps, so reviewers should be allowed discretion to block non-mainstream fetishes, but men kissing men is hardly far enough from the mainstream to warrant banning.
Exactly. Wake me up when they come out with a rollup screen. Or a watch that projects a screen into midair. Or glasses that have inbuilt augmented reality etc but look exactly like normal glasses.

Come on scientists!!! How hard can this stuff be???
I wasn't suggesting anything, I was asking a question.
I am also a one-man SaaS (though not a successful one). The following tends to be my stack (on Google Cloud, if you will):

- Cloud Run (serverless containers)

- Cloud SQL (via proxy)

- Cloud Monitoring & Logging (formerly Stackdriver)

- Compute Engine (if necessary, e.g. websockets)

- Cloud Build for GitOps (deploy on push)

It's clean and simple (to me). Billing is in one place, nicely separated by projects. Monitoring & Logging is already built in. No need to span multiple dev SaaS tools. So far managed to avoid Redis caching because Golang + Postgres is fast enough, so far. But if you need Redis you can DIY on Compute Engine or try Cloud Memorystore (configure the memory to a low amount for cost savings).

Google Cloud drawbacks: Additional charges necessary to connect Cloud Run to VPC (via proxy instances). Load balancing on GCP ain't cheap ($18/month, though to a larger enterprise that is a rounding error). But in my setup I didn't need these things.

As shown above, I have heavily optimized for cost and simplicity in my setup.
Hah! Yes, a while ago I came up with the "fan theory" that the French named Coq as revenge for exactly that:

This should be a case where absence of personal experience should not invalidate other people's experiences. I've never faced any weird reactions to the name (other than a sign language interpreter's confusion), but y'know what? I believe that other people have. It's not a big jump. And it's also not a big jump to rename the project.
> and there’s no avoiding that in that environment it sounds like cock

Cock means "adult male bird" in English as well. See: cockfighting[0]

I didn't say that higher taxation implies higher corruption. You said: ""Lower taxes, fewer public services" means more scope for corruption from the private sector though.

I.e. implying that lowering taxes and public services simply shifts the corruption to the "private sector" as if it's just shifting the problem around and is inescapable. Or that it leaves a gap to which "private sector corruption" can slide into.

To which I responded by saying that at least the [increase] in corruption can be avoided more easily if said corruption is in the private sector as opposed to in the government. So even if we're just shifting the corruption to the private sector, it's still better overall because we can more easily address/avoid it than we would be able to with a government. The point stands whether I am aware of the private-sector corruption or not, and also stands whether there are alternatives within the private sector to switch to because one can just choose to not participate (barring certain necessary industries, I guess)
That doesn't really answer my question: If there's a strike, all workers go on strike, so is Open Source/Free Software development considered work?

> I'm not sure it would be considered a union if the people involved aren't being paid.

Open Source projects compete directly with closed-source software, sometimes very successfully. It's a big part of the industry.
If you have a system setup where a single intern can destroy your company, you are doing something wrong.

Let's even say the intern was malicious and trying to do harm... that is still your fault. One person in the lowest position in the company can break everything? Again, you are setup incorrectly.
Wholly agreed. It seems like the bar of a quality post was lowered significantly for the CTO...
> Was that worry all for nothing? Was it backed up by any science? If there was legitimate reason for concern.

I believe it was because of a lack of evidence either way. The Pfizer trials were two doses. So we didn't know for sure how well one would work. The decision to only do one was made on the basis that this works well for most (but not all) vaccines. It is now known that it indeed works for the Pfizer vaccine, and so it seems to have been a good decision. The concern was that it would not and would set the vaccination programme back by months.

> Why do we not have the same concern around the j&j vaccine?

I'm not sure, but I suspect the J&J vaccine was trialed as one dose from the outset.
That's a really badly designed page. There is no:

- pricing info for EDA

- calculator for the board manufacturing

- about/contact us page

- info to where you deliver in 1 week (without any about page, it's not even possible to deduce to which country your service might be limited to)
I used a similar technique. In undergrad and grad school my studying consisted of typing up the notes from class and summarizing the book chapters. I was always amused when people would ask me for the notes without realizing that the act of creating them was the study part. I rarely looked at them after the fact.
Debian wheezy originally shipped with 5.4.4 but now defaults to 5.4.34 through a security update made on 2014-11-05.
Well, even 10 chunks in Minecraft 1.2.5 would make my MacBook Pro (late 2009; Snow Leopard) really churn.
This is absolutely pathetic.
You don't necessarily need a split cache. Just serve some extra javascript to all users that only performs the extra work if there is presence of a cookie.

(Also make sure the javascript sets a cookie so that wikipedia can fall back to non-cached if javascript isn't enabled.)
Lawrence Kasdan wrote the script for Raiders, David Koepp wrote the script for Crystal Skull. Steven Spielberg directed both. Lucas was co-creator of the story on both.

You can easily verify this on IMDB.
For the mRNA type vaccines, apparently the RNA string payload can be easily "reprogrammed" within the generic "platform" provided by the vaccine.
Well if house prices have indeed doubled in 10 years then that means inflation during that period was about 7.2%, not 2% as they claim. Saying inflation is 2% instead of 7% can be seen as "insisting there's no inflation".

I.e. the statement was a bit of hyperbole to indicate that the ECB is hiding or misrepresenting the real rate of inflation.

And without more detailed info, hiding/excluding inflation increases in one of the biggest expenses that people have to account for in their daily life seems like confusion of the highest order.
I am paying a 950 euro rent for a <24 sq meters in Copenhagen, not downtown Copenhagen, inc water/electricity/heat/washer/drier. The situation is absurd. Back home (still in Europe) I paid half for 35-40 sq meters. Yes, the salaries offset some of it, but still..
I have a fun anecdote involving DOSBox.

Back in 2012 I worked at a large manufacturing company. They had an old IBM PC running IBM DOS which controlled a vital system at the beginning of their production line. This machine had been chucking along since 1992 and now someone high up had been made aware that it could be a potential risk if this machine stopped working. It was therefore decided that this PC should be replaced/upgrade if possible.

After investigating I learned it communicated with a PLC through the RS-232 interface and ran some special sauce software from a company that stopped existing in 1995. Previous upgrade attempts involved virtualization, but that did not work since the program ran too quickly on modern hardware.

My solution was to copy everything from the old HDD to a new computer, install DOSBox and configure the serial port. The first few attempts caused some sirens and alarms to go off in the building, which was "exiting", but after fiddling with the emulation speed I managed to get it to work.

To this day, unless something drastic has changed, a billion $ company is running DOSBox in production (and I literally mean production).

Also, a side note. The old PC was still connected to a modem with a dedicated phone line. At some point it had been remotely operated through some kind of Norton remote control software. I made sure to turn off the modem and did not bring it over to the new DOSBox setup. Imagine if someone had war dialed into the machine... They could have caused a major disturbance and potentially started a fire.
Haven't read Wolfe, but this thread makes me very curious. Another out-of-context reference: How does Malazan Book of the Fallen (though in high fantasy, by Steven Erikson) compare in terms of prose, complexity, being like literature, originality, etc.?
It's not wrong when the interest for saving money is actually negative. This happens in Denmark

> In Denmark, negative deposit rates are no longer an exotic phenomenon reserved for the largest corporations. Panel B of Figure 3 shows that in February 2020, three quarters of non-financial corporates' deposits were subject to negative interest. The percentage is even higher for non-bank financial firms

Agreed, I don’t write a lot of tests until happy with the design. When that solidifies it’s time to get cracking on the unit tests.
Car free often means family free. See that there are no kids in their illustrations but 2 dogs and a bunch of young people?

People need to wake up to the reality that kids demand cars. How will school pick up and drop offs work? How will you take your kid to lessons? What about that play date you setup? What about going to school at your kids school for an early pickup 4p from office?

You can make it work without cars if you are fit, are lucky to have your office and kids' school in the city near to each other - but often "time" is a critical factor and you need the flexibility that a car offers.
I've designed quite some REST APIs, but I've come to the conclusion that all those semantic/HATEOS or other REST guidelines don't always apply or make sense, depending on the problem domain.

I worked in finance and designed a REST API, and besides the standard user/account object, basically ALL the data and operations were neither idempotent, cacheable, durable and often couldn't possible be designed using HATEOS et al.

Quotes, orders, offers and transactions carry lots of monetary amounts which are sent in user currency, which is auto-converted depending on the user requesting it (and currency conversion rates is part of the business). Most offers are only valid a limited amount of time (seconds to minutes) because of changing market rates. There is also no "changing" of object as in PATCH/DELETE, all you do is trigger operations via the API and every action you ever did is kept in a log (regulatory wise, but also to display for the end user).

There is some way to try to hammer this thing to fit with HATEOS et. al. and I put some effort in it, but I would have ended up splitting DTOs into idempotent/mutable and non-idempotent/mutable parts and spread them across different services, bloat the DTOs themselves (i.e. include all available currencies in a quote/offer) and have the validity/expiry of objects via HTTP caching (instead of the DTOs). That would have ended up in a complex and hard-to-read API, would have significantly worse performance (due to lot of unneeded data & calculations) and some insane design decisions (like keeping expired offers/quotes around just so they are still available at their service URL with an id, even though the business requirements would never store expired offers).

Sometimes you just need to use your own head, accept that the problem domain might not be covered by other "guidelines", and come up with a sane design yourself.
Peter Seibel talks about it in Practical Common Lisp and in the talk he had at Google about the book: https://youtu.be/VeAdryYZ7ak

The book is available online I think.
There is no mention of the read broadcast being overlaid by or fading into the attackers signal, which I would expect if they were pointing an antenna very carefully to maximize their attack.

Instead, I think someone physically unplugged a signal cable somewhere and plugged in their own feed. Possibly even an insider.
You can easily look at up to 15 years. And there's a thing called MMS, mandatory minimum sentencing, which means REGARDLESS of evidence, the Judge's opinion or the facts, if you are convicted guilty of a charge, you MUST receive a minimum sentence and no less, which tend to be very strict. Drug charges, particularly dealing fall under this category.
something to gain: the respect of the community you actually intent to serve
That's pretty awesome. I just tried it out to see how you make money and noticed that you have both banner ads and also open popup-tabs. Are you comfortable sharing how much of the revenue is from the banners versus the popups? Are those the only two streams?
