Art doesn't have to be "good" or take time. Art can be whatever you want it to be, even if that's just a way to have fun and mess around. I think the authors view is that art is actually for the artist, not the viewer.

I am not a lawyer, but what mine did for my firm is create a Master Services Agreement (MSA) that I use as a starting point for all my clients. Some of the things that I think are important to include are:

* Stipulation of ownership and licensing for the deliverables.

* Confidentiality

* Disclaimer of warranties (Software provided as is)

* Limitation of liability

* Acceptance terms for deliverables

In my experience the money that I spent having a qualified lawyer who understands small business and intellectual property prepare and support my use of this agreement has been very helpful. The right lawyer will have a draft that he can start with and modify for your requirements.

You can also work with your lawyer to determine the right way to organize your firm (LLC/S-Corp/etc).
Just had to send out a Fuck You, Pay Me email this morning. That's the #2 piece of advice I'd give to graduating computer science/engineering students: always get paid. #1 is don't build that idea the business major across the street has for free, which ties in nicely to #2.

Mao's reputation is mixed in mainland China, too. For more than 150 years, the big and powerful nation state of mind and the weakness in reality stay as a main force behind many things we see. It's a good starting point for reasoning many issues in China. And for me as a Chinese, it's a big negative sign before anything organically good could happen back home.

Your words are profound and spot on. This is excellent insight. Thank you.
But is there no law that outlaws groping. I understand that the passenger has to provide consent, but he/she is not exactly in a positive or healthy frame of mind about it. Like the other day I read about a rape victim going through emotional trauma when subjected to the pat-down. Aren't a collection of such incidents, along with medical reports and/or proofs enough to at least warrant challenging the existing law?
I never argued that it did. I argued in favor of accuracy and honesty.
I think these kind of problems exist in a lot of countries; it's certainly similar in the Netherlands too, and has been for quite a long time: if you're a low-income earner you get social housing, rental assistance, health care assistance, and all these things. But then you start earning too much a lot of these things just drop away and you end up paying a lot more.

This is why we should maybe rethink the way we do a lot of this social security; right now it's a lot of complex pushing around of money to compensate for the fact that people just don't earn enough money to actually make ends meet, which developed over the decades as a solution for this problem and then that problem and such, and we've ended up with a rather crazy system where private companies are effectively subsidized by the state so they can keep their wages low. I don't have any solutions as it's all pretty complex and far outside of my expertise, but it's pretty bonkers.
I assume cash was being used in the normal financial accounting sense of the word as opposed to dollar bills in the mattress.

Yes, there's inflation negative yield. But especially in the low interest and inflation rate environment that has been the case until possibly recently, the difference between "cash" (i.e. default investment at a brokerage) and other very low-risk investments (e.g. high quality corporate bonds) has been pretty minimal.

In the article Konnikova (and Seligman) describes resilience as a product of methods that can be taught. The framing is that resilience is an interpretive skill.

The Konnikova article links to a NYTimes article [0] which in turn (in the reader comments) links to a HuffPost article [1] by a medical school specialist on PTSD. Quoting from that: "The American Psychological Association defines resilience as 'the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or even significant sources of threat.' ... Resilience is common and can be witnessed all around us. Even better, we learned that everyone can learn and train to be more resilient. The key involves knowing how to harness stress and use it to our advantage. "

The problem with resilience as a skill is that "resilience" may be a skill you don't have before you need it. How can one be expected to have total control over one's "construal"? Trauma, like grief, is personal and subjective. Emotion is immediate. We feel the way we feel. In a crisis, should one feel worse because you are not yet deploying the resilience? Resilience is not one sure trick but an interpretative mindset set that may or may not be available to you when something that you may or may not be able to understand has happened to you. One could view therapy as a process of developing over time a resilient response to experienced trauma.

> I have used Erlang very successfully in a semi-embedded context

Elixir is really quite good in the semi-embedded space with several successful companies having their IOT bread and butter in Elixir Nerves platform. The deployment story is getting really mature in Elixir.

The article has some really salient points: Testing and Documentation and really amazing in Elixir. Concurrent tests are amazing. So for example normally a "database" would be a global resource and running concurrent tests against the database is really tricky. It's basically turnkey in Elixir (need to set up two settings).

With a bit of work, it's not terribly hard to write concurrent tests that exit the VM and come back into the vm and use a test-shard of a global resource. So, for example, you write a test that issues an HTTP request to itself, and the request is instrumented with parameters to connect it back to the test process and use the correct "temporary shard" of the database. (In the case of the database it's a transaction, I use the phrase "temporary shard" because the same mechanism can extended to other concepts too, like module mocks, ets tables, process registries, etc, which all use the same mechanism, you only have to set it up once).

What are the demands of the Myanmar Coup protests that happened in PNW, and how could they have been met by the local community?

I am specifically referring to the most hardcore leftists, but I don’t tend to socialize with them. I don’t think its right to call them communists, anarchism is popular though.

I don’t know if you can make a broad claim about no protest being framed as against global capitalism; if you had been to one, you’d know that the protestors like to be clear that they are decentralized, so no one person owns the framing. They have many different framings internally, and certainly you know how I frame them. My framing is based on the chants of, and sprayed graffiti saying ‘land back’, ‘rent is theft’, ‘kill all landlords’, and ‘end capitalism’.
Okay, fair I overlooked that. I'm so used to seeing free-hand libertarians decry all taxes, I made assumptions.
Really appreciate that @Red. Sorry for any vagueness - slowly building a community doing sort of what you're talking about + involving them in the process of building it. Gonna be fun and glad to have you on board :)
Any new product category didn't exist 1 day ago when it's launched, but we don't expect new product categories every day. In the 15 yars since Jobs re-joined apple to the time he died he's credited with introducing three new product categories: iPods, iPhones and iPads. Arguably iPads are actually just a scaled up iPod Touch and nobody ever lists the touch as a new category. From a technology point of view it was a modest revision of an existing product.

So personally I'd list the new product categories as only two - the iPod and iOS. It's just that iOS' revolutionary impact hasn't completely played out yet. I expect any new 'product categories' to be further extensions of the iOS family into new markets. e.g. Apple TV is an existing product running iOS, but if it grows an app store and games ecosystem, will that make it an entry into a new category?

You're right that the Mac Pro is an existing product line, but it's so radically different from it's predecessors that I do think it has a chance of being used in ways and contexts the old Pro never was. For starters it's tiny. It's agressive use of Thunderbolt is interesting, but also the emphasis on GPU utilisation via CUDA and OpenCL - one of it's GPUs isn't even wired up to be used to drive displays - is a bold move.

Interesting. I wonder how much of it comes from officers being more self-conscious and from people being less likely to file a claim they know would be easily disproved.
It doesn't sound like he's not doing anything useful. In fact, it sounds like he has a strong idea of how business works. Lots of people can do the job (unless you're doing something super technical), the person who gets the job and the credit for it is usually the one who gets along best with the people in charge. Its not about a flaw in the system, it's about acknowledging how the world works and acting accordingly.

Yeah, I do find it annoying how many Emacs-based applications assume they're the only thing running.

I'm developing an application built on ProofGeneral, which itself is built inside Emacs. I ran the test suite one day and one function turned out to quit Emacs if it encoutered an error! It took out all of my open shells, files, etc. (everything was saved, but I had to open them all again).

Now I'm running the tests in a dedicated Emacs process, launched via a command from eshell!

There is a book you should read, Lost Enlightenment: https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691165851/lo...

The flourishing of Islamic science took place not in Baghdad, but in Central Asia, and it was already in steep decline when al-Ghazali wrote his polemics. The reasons for both the rise and decline of the Central Asian enlightenment are fascinating and complex.

The tl;dr is that these cities (most now ruins) relied on very complicated irrigation systems that required a high degree of technical skill to maintain, and were also quite cosmopolitan places culturally, since they were never Arabized and lay on major trade routes, guaranteeing them exposure to ideas and scholarly texts from India (although interestingly, not so much from China).

Anyway, it's a great book and will put the rise and decline of this period in context for you.
Ah nevermind I see this was addressed in another comment.

I worked for a county school system in an administrative role. My philosophy is that most of the time smart/students with a supportive home life will do well in most situations. I have a similar opinion about students in the opposite categories doing poorly. There is also a group that stretches across the entire student population (including all ethnicities) where you can move the needle and it is mostly comprised of smart people without a supportive home life and anyone on the bubble in those categories.

Also, a pet peeve of mine is when race issues are made out of economic issues. It can be hard for a school system to face the reality that they cannot change the economic situations of the students by feeding them 2 (awful) meals per day and penalizing students that are well off.

That said, it may be reasonable to use race as a proxy but it comes with a lot of baggage and some of that baggage is that you are failing a race. I would love to see that they have done some studies and will be using the money from the advanced learning classes to move the needle on a larger group but the article is written as if they are taking punitive measures in an attempt to close the gap.

I believe that black and hispanic students are not being served well by the way this school system appears to be approaching the situation. I hope they eventually face some facts. We spent a long time focusing resources on hopeless students and just about as long on students who will succeed regardless of attention. Lets spend some time on those who are reachable and I think we will see blacks and hispanics better represented as a side effect.

I believe there are black and hispanic students who are not doing well in school that may develop great ideas and plans for the future due to their education. I want to live in a world shaped by those ideas. The first step is grabbing the low hanging fruit and not casting this as a fight between races. Its so easy to make this a reason to get along that I am suspicious of people who make it a reason to divide people further.
More that we've undergone a pretty significant state change in the past couple decades, and much of how we understand the world now has dependencies on full information access; inflicting variable negative reinforcement on those thought patterns by removing that dependency restricts the smooth transition to a more inclusive and durable self.
That sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Also, I fail to see how this theory applies to the recession of '08.
Don't get hung up on the term genius, focus on the chance discovery part that is the actual topic of the article. Those first wave gaming professionals discovered a personal product market fit without trying, by being obsessed with an absurdly unprofitable pastime.

Tim Cook is a supply-chain optimalisator. He won't do anything to put his supply-chain in jepardy. So, that includes not offending China.

Even if he's telling the truth, he has lost my trust. I have no proof of him speaking his mind, ever.

Like this, were he is used by Trump in the most publicly way possible:

I'm pretty sure he rolls over, before they even ask.

Blocking, unblocking and blocking the protestor app is Apple anticipating what they will gain with the most. And they came to the conclusion that China market access > human rights in Taiwan + bad publicity.

And yeah, the internal note of Tom Cook was full of bullshit, concerning the app. No company is going to explain financial motives to their employees.
It might be that PIA is not going to start doing anything shady, and they'll still be a (relatively) well-respected VPN company after the merger. But if you're currently a PIA user, it would be foolish to keep using them while you're waiting for them to prove that. Cancel PIA for now, and if a year from now they're still on the level, you can make a more informed decision about whether or not to go back.

There's no reason for you personally to be the canary in the coal mine, just use someone else while you're waiting to see what happens.

I advocate somewhat strongly for paid 3rd-party VPNs, not because I think they're great, but because I think they are sometimes the least-bad option -- 3rd party VPNs address privacy problems that self-hosted VPNs can't, and unlike Tor, VPNs actually scale well for regular Internet browsing.

I do however fully acknowledge that shifting trust can be dangerous, so I recommend people be willing to quickly jump ship between VPNs, and possibly use different VPNs for different services. You should be a little nervous around your VPN provider, and you should hold them to really high standards.

In PIA's case, I notice looking at their pricing page that they offer 1-2 year plans in addition to monthly plans. Not everyone has the money to ignore deals, but if you do have the money, paying an extra $35-40 a year so just so you can easily switch VPNs on a whim is probably worth it. In general, for services that can pivot in quality quickly (like a VPN) it is usually worth paying monthly rather than yearly (again, assuming you have the extra money to do so).
> If Python 2.6/7 had a mode like -b...

Agreed. This was a major mistake in the migration story for Py3. They bet on the static translation approach of 2to3, which is just inappropriate for a dynamic language like Python. Better to have doubled down on Python's dynamism by adding modes to the interpreter to suss out the code that wouldn't work on Py3.
Useless use of cat detected!

Rememeber, nearly all cases where you have:

you can rewrite it as:

and in some cases, such as this one, you can move the filename to the arglist as in:

some_command and its args ... file

This is totally normal; it's nothing to feel guilty about. Just pick one idea, then follow Steve Blank's methodology to find out whether it works or not, then either fix it or throw it away. Repeat. Ignore all the other ideas; they were never worth much to begin with so you're not losing much by ignoring them.
Yeah.. The GD doesn't seem to realize that it is necessary to define the size of the page to display the content when using formatting such as "centering" or "equal white space on both sides of the margin". I can't tell if the GD doesn't know what it is supposed to be and is expecting me to estimate and figure it out (which I don't want to spend time doing).

The client, being the GD's cousin, is making it to be me that is the issue.

There are things that have slowed this whole process down way too much. Some were my fault (I had to do this in PHP which I am not an expert in so it took some time to learn some tricks), some were not (both client and I have full time jobs, new borns/toddlers, and outside issues to deal with as well).
What makes him qualified to opine on education? The fact that he's a real world success? What's with all of the deference to authority on HN?

I may defer to experts on radiation in Fukushima, but education is a philosophical argument. Even the experts aren't really experts on it. Can we describe the difference between good and bad teachers yet? Not really. Degrees do not protect anyone or any institution from criticism.
