Just wanted to thank you for writing this comment. Since reading it I've really, genuinely re-evaluated a lot of things in my life, and I'm continuing to do so. Thank you - I needed it.
Arrandale chipsets (Core i5 and i7) have suspend resume issues with the intel graphics chipset. This affects systems like Dell Latitude. (https://bugs.freedesktop.org//show_bug.cgi?id=28739)

The fix is available in kernel 2.6.38 ( Ubuntu 11.04 is 2.6.37)

I run Ubuntu 10.10 with a PPA 2.6.38 kernel to get around the problem. Please note this problem is at the kernel level - going Fedora will not help.

Ubuntu is more or less the only OS I use currently - sleep/suspend/resume issues still exist. I do hope they integrate projects like TuxOnIce, etc. into the mainline - I would gladly pay couple of hundred dollars to have working sleep/resume on Ubuntu laptops.
Considering that Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus would have about 15-20 models at one time (considering the motherboard + wireless), I'm surprised there is no third party company providing supported Linux - for companies like KSplice, this could be another line of business.
I think it's even worse: upvotes are upvotes, and the reason why someone clicked it varies. It could mean "I agree," "this was well stated and insightful" or even "I disagree and it's dumb and mean but so represents common sentiment that I think everyone should read this."

The symbol is a little triangle, and inherently says none of those things. People will click to mean whatever they mean.
I agree that this idea seems intuitively true, but I don't think there is a problem articulating it. It's simply that many will find it offensive that a scientist can be better than an MBA student at managing a company.

Then again, Musk majored in both physics and business.
I agree; "Don’t just sit and stare at it: think hard; until you’re exhausted; then come back the next day and try again." is bad advice. Don't just think about it, whatever that means to you; just thinking tends to get people's minds running in smaller and smaller circles-which is why going away and coming back the next day helps. But thinking, and working, differently will help you more and help you more quickly. Try diagramming the problem, try working a simplified or more specific example, try generalizing the problem to see if it fits something you learned in another context. There are many things you can do to work on a problem.

Polya's How to Solve It is mostly simpler types of math, it is intended for teacher training after all, but the general methods he demonstrates can often help with much harder and more complicated problems.

Wickelgren's How to Solve Mathematical Problems (originally titled, How to Solve Problems, the new title is more accurate) has both basic and more advanced tactics for problem solving.

The best way I have found to use these types of books, after reading them through quickly for an overview, is to stop and browse in one of them when you get badly stumped on a problem. Then go back to the problem; if you still can't make headway, stop and browse a bit more.

ADDED: Mathematics involves three distinct types of learning and work: learning the mathematical theory, which I generally find fairly easy. Learning and applying problem solving methods to apply theory to actual problems, which is much harder. And doing the calculations to solve the problems once you have worked out how to apply mathematics to the problem, which I find really, really hard, fortunately this is the easiest aspect to automate (calculators and Mathematica, for example).
5-6 people?

Completely seriously, even though they are not technical, use github's issue tracker. It's so simple and elegant.

Even though they are not-technical, you can start with the tags:

bug, to-do, need-advice

And then add different project domains or whatever else you please.

In a ten minute presentation you can teach them how to make issues, close issues, assign people to issues, and tag other people in the issues, and you're pretty much done with the learning curve.

Have everyone make an issue, tag it as something, assign it to someone, have that assignee close it out, and they've completely gone though everything there is to know themselves.

The caveat: It is only free if you allow the project to be public. If you want it private, it will be 12 dollars a month. I would urge you to give it serious consideration regardless. If you're making any sort of money at all, 12 dollars a month is peanuts compared to the peace of mind of a simple online system accessible from anywhere.
Does anyone know the statistics on how widely Java is used for client-side stuff on the web?

I get the feeling that Flash, JavaScript, and even Silverlight are used far more often today (client-side).

One notable exception is Wikipedia, which uses Java to play its Ogg Vorbis (audio) files in browsers without native Ogg Vorbis support. But that's just a stop-gap measure to fix a deficiency in older browsers.
What the hell?! Someone has really stretched the definition of sexism here or the alleged problem exists in some alternate universe only.

I took the time and listened the audio recording. What happened is:

- The guy spends minutes talking about how good and smart Ms Lovell is and how she suits the role perfectly

- And in the end makes the short remark about that a sexy single lady who is now a sexy married woman, obviously to celebrate the recent happy event.

- He even pointed out how lucky her new husband was instead of, say, drooling at her sexiness himself.

- Everybody laughed.

- Ms Lovell laughed, and made some witty comments before starting with the real business.

And then some third party guy gets upset because he thinks there's a problem somewhere. Excuse me but this reeks of steep hypersensitivism.

It might certainly be sexist to say somewhat that would expand to "she's so smart that we picked her for this role eventhough she's only a woman" or "we chose her and that is because she was just too sexy to pass". That would be somehow implying that women are lesser but at least they can look good.

But this was clearly not the case in this event. What happened was a compliment, both on her recent marriage and related to that, her good looks.

Emphasis on the word "good". It was a compliment: the man stated what he thought were positive facts about her, and especially not pointed to anything negative nor exhibited, say, disturbing personal interest in her.

The strange thing is that it's not only that as if women couldn't take compliments anymore—I think most of them can —but, rather, it seems that some men can't take it anymore to observe women being complimented. This is just crazy.

We're all men and women and men do pay attention to good looking women and women do pay attention to good looking men (at least if only they let themselves). That is perfectly normal and there's generally nothing wrong in making a compliment about one's good looks. While there are subtle but complex rules about social interaction, flirting, including making comments about good looks or of even sexual nature, most of all that used to be the norm, and generally well received and lavishly given, without the slightest hint of sexist nature.
That money isn't that important. History isn't going to look back and think that YCombinator should have done more to look out for the wealth Chinese investors.
Kube is one layer that you use to get to a completely platform independent version of this. Look at kubecfg for an example of this being applied. When Cuelang, the next step after jsonnet, is finished and integrated with kubecfg it will be basically this with:

1. Run anything anywhere (no platform lockin)

2. The ability to talk about your arch using a shared dialect

3. Tooling that integrated with the API server for everything storage and DB (things like Rook), networking and security (CNIs), observability (Service Mesh), and many more abstractions.

Kube is the low level dialect. The tooling around it makes it work like you want.
They were primarily for connecting a wired Apple mouse on the appropriate side for a left or right-handed user.
agreed, unreservedly.

still, namecalling these users doesn't solve anything. and i'm sure it's against the community principles.
lol... nice find.

brainwashing (n.)
"attempt to alter or control the thoughts and beliefs of another person against his will by psychological techniques," 1950, a literal translation of Chinese xi nao. A term from the Korean War.

> Amazon has banned giving away free products in exchange for reviews

I didn't realize they banned this practice considering they themselves operate the Vine program. I know someone who receives upwards of a dozen products a week for free to review by Amazon. Everything from robot vacuums to cutlery sets.

WTF is an animated WebP? Shouldn't it be just a normal WebM video?
It seems like a lot of Lisps don't do tail call optimization either though, such as Emacs lisp, common lisp, and Clojure.
VB6 is a good demonstration of the point being made. Even though development stopped two decades ago and support ended a decade ago, they can continue to use it. They probably didn't anticipate development of VB being dropped so soon, but Microsoft had (and continues to have) a history of maintaining backward compatibility.

While dropping support for VB would have had negative consequences and using Java may have been better, we only know that in hindsight. Java was about half the age of VB at that point in time, it's most vocal advocates seemed to be more interested in cutting Microsoft down to size, while it had a mixed reception among both developers and end users. None of those qualities bode well in the long term, especially from the perspective of those invested in Microsoft technologies.
Cofounder here.

We’re surprised and flattered at the interest and discussion.

For those wondering why we shut down here’s a brief summary:

We created Flynn to be Heroku that you could run on your own infrastructure (cloud or otherwise). We started Flynn as a crowdfunded project with support mainly from other startups, we imagined it would be non-commercial and community-driven.

After the prototype it became clear that we would need a full time team to develop and maintain the project. When we couldn’t find anyone who wanted to fund the project long term we applied to YC and then raised a seed round which let us build a 1.0.

Unfortunately we were never able to raise more VC so we spent several years trying to build a business that would allow us to keep developing the project.

We spent the last four years with a skeleton team and while we were able to build a business doing “ops as a service” for other startups we ultimately couldn’t generate enough revenue to cover both development/features and the 24/7 on call team we needed. While we were able to support our paying customers we couldn’t deliver the features we wanted to build or support unpaid open source users.

We also take stability and support really seriously. We were extremely uncomfortable with the fact that people were running Flynn but didn’t know enough to run it safely. So we’d get panicked emails and github issues from users who couldn’t pay us but needed help. That’s a terrible situation for everyone involved.

The ecosystem has come a long way since we started (we were one of the first Docker powered projects and started about a year before kubernetes was announced). But we still feel like there’s a need for something like Flynn :(

Unfortunately it’s expensive to develop full-featured platforms and we could never get VCs interested in a Series A.

The 24/7 on call lifestyle got to be too much for our team, especially during COVID so with no prospects of things changing we decided to call it quits.
It's hard to quantify that, since this is all so subjective and I don't really put a lot of effort into trying to make my observations about it rigorous / scientific. But my subjective perception is that it does help me focus and function a bit better. The combination of caffeine and L-Theanine, along with 5-HTP on occasion, usually seems to correlate with periods when I'm very productive. But, again, this is all pretty subjective. And even if there is a positive effect, it could just be placebo effect for all I know.
The number one way to get the patience to do this is to have impatience for software that is slow.
That belief is getting a bit outdated now that computing efficiency is hitting walls. Even when compute is cheaper than development, you're still making a morally suspect choice to pollute the environment over doing useful work if you spend $100k/yr on servers instead of $120k/yr on coding. When time and energy saved are insignificant compared to development expense is of course when you shouldn't be fussing with performance.

I don't think the anti-code-optimization dogma will go away, but good devs already know optimality is multi-dimensional and problem specific, and performance implications are always worth considering. Picking your battles is important, never fighting them nor knowing how is not the trick.
I'd be at the very least nonplussed if an error caused a compiler to say "do your own homework" or the like. There's technical and succinct, and there's unnecessarily rude; that's pretty clearly to one side.
It is starting to happen now. Many ocean current turnovers rates are at or approaching the time since the start of the industrial revolution. Up until a few decades ago we kept getting clean water coming up from below with low concentrations of CO2. Now we are getting CO2 laden water that can't absorb nearly as much and what "fresh" water we got left coming to us isn't going to last much longer.
Yes, to answer your question, I do use LinkedIn. But I am picky about who I network with, because I feel that my connections also reflect upon me. If I wanted to do otherwise, I'd use Facebook.

The response from the woman in question went too far, and it isn't too hard to draw the conclusion that she probably shouldn't be in a job involving networking if she has that reaction.... but it doesn't change the fact that the connection requestor was looking to get something for nothing, and her subsequent activity to mob-shame the other is equally disgusting.
This may sound cliche, but ransomeware truly is plaguing the nation. 3 "phone room" busts here where I live in the last month or so, all of which were the "tech support" hot lines that you called into after you've paid the ransom to "fix your PC."

sure, there are many different levels of extortion. Some outfits are very upfront i.e. "your PC has been locked..." others are much more subtle and appear to come across as a legit operation and it isn't until you speak to your techie son-in-law that you find out you've been hit.

IMHO the best way to nab these guys is the phone rooms. More and more cities / states are requiring these rooms to have licenses and in my city the FBI has set up a temporary shop to go after these guys.
Wire is good because it syncs conversations across devices and allows one to sign up without a phone number. But its sluggish client apps (especially on desktop, where I guess it’s an Electron app) have been a bane for a long time.
I've also worked on similar systems but only ever seen them fail to replace the system that's under someones desk, and it's almost always because the guy coming up with the solutions is far removed from building them, using them, or from comparing them with the previous solution.

Nice way to filter $$$$$$$ through consultancies though.
For a hobby project, solo developer to start means it is a personal choice. If you pick a stack that is new to you, carve out time to learn.

Don't bother considering popularity. If you are familiar with PHP and Python, see what frameworks for those are the best choice. For Python or PHP I have heard Django and Laravel are good frameworks, no experience with them personally. Model-View-Controller is a de-facto pattern with web frameworks and usually the framework will dictate file locations, structure of code, etc.

You mention data aggregator and users connecting data sources - that sounds like where the most technical work could be in your app. If this is consuming API's then that is pretty straightforward but if you get into screen-scraping or handling multiple ways to aggregate content then the available libraries/tools in your language of choice might influence your decision. I'd look into how you want to aggregate data first, see what tools are out there to help you.

Most web frameworks will out-of-box meet nearly all of your requirements. I'd be wary of code generation from a design tool. I'm not in the "must hand code everything" camp - it will work for an initial app but after you start adding features and changing things in your code the design tool that generates code won't match.

If you're up for learning something new, I would advocate for Rails. Once installed (along with DB) it has generators which can "scaffold" the parts of the app. I would guess PHP/Python frameworks have similar things. Google around for tutorials on this and try them out.
Well, as childfree people, that was an appeal.
F# is designed so that the performance ceiling is the same as C#. Certainly you would get less idiomatic to reduce GC pressure, but I'm not sure its harder than c#
> One died due to GPU solder problem

Let me guess, NVIDIA GPU? The Windows laptop world got hit pretty hard by that one, too. It wasn't just Macs affected, it was a systemic failure (brought by EU-mandated lead removal in solder, iirc).
> Apple does have some bugs to iron out, but in six month's time when they're fixed, everyone will forget and start complaining about something else.

That's the whole point: we'll start complaining about something else because in 6 months when the bugs are theoretically fixed we'll have another OS X release waiting for us right around corner (approx 4 months away) which will put us right back at square one!

Tiger's lifespan was from November 2005 through October 2007. So, if we accept the premise that all the OSes were equally buggy and it also took Tiger 6 months to get the bugs worked out, then you still had another 18 months of a stable OS.

This reasonably allows customers to decide whether to be early adopters or waiters: its perfectly fine to hold off those 6 initial months since you then still get 3/4 of the products lifespan with some assurance that its stable. That's just not the case anymore, if you wait those 6 months then now you've got another release right around the corner, you're perpetually in upgrade mode. Not to mention that most the bugs will probably ship in the major release anyways since (non-security) bug fix release have more or less merged with the new features that introduce new bugs release.
I know this is probably a joke but if it's not, what on earth is the site?
The large majority of Firefox OS is written in C and C++. The Linux kernel it uses isn't web-based. Firefox itself isn't web-based.

Mozilla are good people, but it's really obvious why they would want to encourage people to make web apps instead of native apps. There is still a ton of software that can't be web-based.
> a rate that's so much higher than STEM education that it makes sense to divert tens of thousands of dollars to a humanities major instead of a STEM one.

Likewise, your argument doesn't support diverting funds in favor of STEM programs. From my own personal experience of having both a liberal arts BA and a huge portion of a CS degree, the liberal arts program has improved my ability to think and read deeper and more completely than the CS coursework ever could. It has also proven to have prepared me to face the "real world" better than any of my STEM major peers have been able to.

More and more, and this thread re-enforces it, I think the STEM vs. humanities argument is veiled misogyny. White boys studying science = good, brown girls studying poetry = bad.

The STEM world has no soul and will fail all of us because of it.
> My understanding is Prop 19 is easily evaded by trusts

No, trusts do not evade Proposition 19 (although some people scrambled to transfer to children with a trust before Feb 15 to avoid Proposition 19’s new terms). Under Proposition 13/RTC 60, the assessor always looks through the trust to see the beneficial owner at any time. LLCs may be useful though to preserve up to 49% of the discount on transfer as described in this article: https://www.pe.com/2021/01/15/prop-19-whats-next-for-homeown....

> Even without hiding ownership, an inheritor could easily live in the property for a year after inheriting (or claim to —— enforcement seems difficult), lock in the old tax basis, and then move out

No, the Board of Equalization’s guidance is to remove the parent-child exclusion as soon as the child stops qualifying for the homeowner’s exemption. According to the Board of Equalization letter to assessors from 2021-01-08, “at the time the family home is no longer the primary residence of a transferee, the change in ownership exclusion that applied at the initial transfer of the family home is lost.” https://www.boe.ca.gov/meetings/pdf/2021/011421-M1a1-Legal-A...
Ordered! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
