that's the most insanely stupid thing I've seen posted on hn in a long while. You've totally missed the whole point of experience - part of it in this day and age is to be able to relive it and share it with a wider audience than those physically around you through the marvel of technology.

By all means don't take photos, but please don't kid yourself that this is some retro throwback to days gone by. Why not skip showering in the morning too, that just distracts you from the things people did before household plumbing.
I saw something strange here in Seattle. Usually there is surge pricing whenever there are few cars around. However I checked multiple times on New Years Day at around 12:30AM and the surge pricing was >4.5x, but there were loads of UberXs around. Like, 10 cars within a couple blocks. And if I dragged the gps marker 10 streets over, another huge cluster of cars would show up.

It looked to me like Uber overrode the algorithm and jacked up the prices really high, even though there wasn't such high demand for Ubers.

I regularly take Uber at 9AM and there will often be no cars in the area (wait time of 8 minutes when usually it's <2 minutes) and the surge shows only 2.0x.
This is great! I love the mouse over zoom.
chances are if be did that, the other company owners would approach him after he is successfully taking their devs to set a minimum wage plan. it is extremely common in developing countries. heck, jobs even brought it back in the US. and like with the late jobs, if you dont get in, things get very tense. thats the main reason i dont do more sub contract companies in my home country.
Does this still work when you disable wifi on your phone?
1.) Encrypt your iOS device backups. You're crazy if you don't already have this checked.
2.) Wait for next iOS update to patch this.
3.) If #2 doesn't happen, then begin to worry.

The endless logging of location data looks like a bug.
That's true for almost all of the startups (and in one case, a company that just filed for IPO). It wasn't too hard to match this data to LinkedIn for quite a few people I know :)

Doesn't this violate some kind of privacy laws, anyway? (Edit: I mean the fact that the US Government is releasing data, not the fact that it can be mined)
Note that they are average for that job title, not across the whole company. So on average, these are what Seniors or Principals make at most companies, and not your typical engineer.

The list is cropped, but further down you would see companies like MS have a lower tier engineer (such as "Software Engineer I" or "Associate Software Engineer" title with a lower average.
Is this lady in HR or something? She has a weird vibe.
Often times people add comments in-line with things to prevent the comment from becoming stale should the referent change (because the inlining encourages modifying the comment if the referent is modified), whereas it may be hard to determine the referent of a comment in its own field.

Further, having multiple comments with the same field name is invalid JSON I believe, as keys must be unique? Though I may be wrong. (however, if keys _must_ be unique, then comment authors could encode the referent in the comment key, possibly).
> This approach breaks down when you go into higher math.

It doesn't have to be literally visualization. Just some "feeling" for the objects. Some conception of them as actors, actees, things interacting, or having emotions or whatever. Again, whatever works. Maybe some people can work with concepts just based on strictly memorizing the definitions and drilling through proofs, but others need to conceptualize it all into a narrative. I don't mean dumbing it down, but making it easier to "grab" mentally. Hard to describe.
She actually has other far more important and well-known books and has won many prestigious international literary awards for them. A few have even been made into successful TV shows, if your knowledge of literature is based on what is available on internet streaming services.
I think the truck was built w/ spaceX in mind [1].
You can probably manufacture that thing quite easily from basic sheet metal, when you have limited machinery and labour on another planet.

The best car design since DeLorean! :)
Yes, the correct game theory analogy would be the classic "tragedy of the commons" where each player's behavior places a small cost on everyone but produces a larger benefit for themselves. When every player chooses to over utilize the commons, overall rewards decrease significantly.
I think the hummer is a really good comparison here. The ground clearance and low center of gravity of the cybertruck will most likely give it legendary off road capabilities. I can't wait to see some footage of one at moab or something.

A really good book on this is "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactoring Your Wetware" by Andy Hunt (of the Pragmatic Programmer series of books). I particularly like the explanation of the Dreyfus model of skill progression: Novice, Advanced Beginner, Competent, Proficient, and Expert.
Humans can pull trains. There's plenty of video of that on YouTube. They're made to roll as effortlessly as possible.

Here's a bunch of HO scale (1:87) trains pulling their full sized version, too: https://twitter.com/mrtimdunn/status/1101414657418498049
AR is traditionally a 2D projection on 3D space. This is a 3D projection that you interact with. Sure, its still AR on some level, but I think differentiating the product makes a lot of sense. My idea of AR is a boring HUD-like system that fits in with things like flying fighter jets. This holographic projection is different and notably so.

MS could find the middle ground between lush 3D VR-like environments and the real world. I find things like the Oculus and other HMDs to be terribly claustrophobic and dizzying. Not to mention really asocial. I don't want to mount a tissue-box size thing to my face that removes the real world. I'd prefer having the real world still here with the digital world tied to it. There just seems to be something wrong with giving software my entire field of view. I don't want to stare into the same Unity3D generated environments. I want to augment my real world life, not replace it.
There was a DEFCON talk about TOR where the speaker advised "All of my friends and contacts in Israel & the Middle East who didn't use TOR -- I no longer hear from them".
oh. now i realize i may not have explained my issue very well...

my problem here is not solved. my rewrite can't be used because i rewrote too much code. what i meant to say is that when i don't have to deal with the obstacle of all this legacy code, it becomes easy for me to create a solution. my difficulty is not actually solving the particular problem, but with trying to build something on top of the legacy codebase.

i am realizing everything i am trying to do boils down to a hack to try and refactor shitty code into something its not. I am trying too hard to make what we have work like I think we need it to. I know that i am guided by best practices, my own experience, source code written by people smarter then me, and blogs posted on hacker news, but maybe my company doesn't want a good solution, maybe they just want some shit that works.

Part of me wants to be confident this is the right thing to do, and just be like fuck it and quit, but i have heard stories about the well intentioned and read about lava layers and part of me is worried that i am just being arrogant.
I did this a year or three back, and the only thing was that with the amount of travel I did, the mobile maps were too useful. If I didn't travel, I'm pretty sure I'd be fine without a phone.
This is a cool idea and I like that you've left space "at the top" for an enterprise plan. Of course, I don't know anyone with an account and don't use other social media, so how would I get started?

Is there an interest in having an HN space? ... And how is that done fairly with a limit of 100 people?
Some context: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/it-was-inevitable-that-anti...

Please do not mistake this comment as antivaxx nonsense, the article linked discredits both the theory and the scientists who started it all.
The real kick is when you link both google ads and google analytics https://blog.littledata.io/2019/02/25/why-link-google-ads-ad...

Something you can't do when leaving google land.
It is true that an opt-out system must be installed on the website (Matomo gives that piece of code) but - as noted on the github link you posted - that very is different from an opt-in system (which is the standard GDPR requirement).
How about lying down, or even sleeping? The article mentions "sedentary time" and not just sitting in an upright position - presumably that includes sleeping too...
> obsessed with ownership, may give rise to whole new classes of errors that otherwise won't be there

How does baking the ability to statically determine resource ownership into a language lead to a class of errors? What sort of errors are these?
Try changing the font-width instead.

I absolutely hate it when websites use fonts this thin, too.
Generally satellite ISPs are dial-up for upload and use the satellite link only for download.
My list is nearly the same as yours, except I don't hate meetings and Windows as much as you do and I'm also willing to work for salary alone and no equity, as long as the salary is market level. I definitely don't want daily scrum meetings, but I don't mind monthly meetings, etc., as long as they're well-designed and purposeful.

Re: office plans, I'm fine with a cubicle as long as it's tastefully done, developers are segregated from sales people, etc. I want to see that thought has went into it. I understand that sometimes a company truly can't afford private offices for somebody, so what it really comes down to, for me, is whether they care about their working environment in a legitimate, thoughtful way (as opposed to a bandwagony way).
Potentially - only after a trial - having to pay compensation is not exactly the same as repealing a law.

Then again, disincentivizing the creation of such laws in the first place more or less has the same outcome as repealing them after they have been passed and may even be more surreptitious as the public may never learn how the law would have looked like without that kind of pressure.
I am surprised at how casually he dropped this in there:

"When I was in college I used to write papers for my friends. It was quite interesting to write a paper for a class I wasn't taking. Plus they were always so relieved."

Yikes. Really?
I agree with promoting caution when drawing conclusions on that data. We don't know how much of that data is generated by people, by bots, or what purpose they had. For example, I would assume that any national agency whose job it is identify and catch child abuse would run web scrapers at pedophilia sites.

Wasn't there a article a while back that said around 95% of all internet traffic was imitated by computers and not humans? What would the percentage be for hidden services?
Of course we are. All the changes to the code (or most, because not everyone likes source control) are kept with your VCS (git, svn, what have you)

Just keep the codebase clean and have a spine!
From TFA: "You have reached that stage, because you have the time and skills to do this, but what about Joe beginner? Do they deserve this?"

Joe Beginner will be fine provided he has the tenacity to learn, learn, and continue to learn. What he "deserves" isn't relevant. The reality is we're all Joe Beginner at something. For example, I have been writing code for almost 30 years (started real young) and have been doing web-dev for 10 years, but I'm Joe Beginner dealing with Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, and several other technologies I'm trying to wrap my head around.

Part of...well, actually one of the key aspects of being a programmer is maintaining a complex and diverse skill set. This was true back in the 80's when I started with AppleBasic, it was true in the 90's when we were writing Win32 in C++, it's true now, and it's not going to change.

Call me crazy, but I think using three or four different languages is of the things that makes web development really fun, more fun than trying to wade through pointer pointers to figure out where the hell I forgot to toss memory back on the heap. And isn't that why most of us hack anyway, because it's freaking fun?
I'm talking about the devs that do use VCS and yet they still use the comments to keep track of changes. You can tell who they are by looking at their commit messages. "Commit for 24-Mar-2011" is a dead giveaway. :-)
Speaking of cheap balls: when you banana kick a soccer ball with a counter-clockwise spin, it will bend leftwards. If you do the same with a cheap, thin beach ball, it will bend rightwards. What's up with that?
Hello, the founder of profession.is here, happy to answer any questions! Let me know what you think about the web app.
Thanks MegaLeon, I knew it was about to happen, queen of typo I am.
Thanks mathgeek! More customized themes are on their way in the future. before I go to town designing 10 more resume templates, want to hear some feedback on the foundation of the webapp first from YC community
Emacs and IIRC vim highlight control characters and nonstandard whitespace. I kinda thought it standard for code editors.
Wait, are you advocating torture?
The Sim card ejector in every iPhone box, take a closer look at it ;)
There are a few computational drug discovery companies that might suit you. For example, I work at Schrodinger, whose motto is "Fight Disease With Code."

https://www.schrodinger.com/careers

But you're right that you won't get $300k. Even $200k is a reach. Funding for drug discovery can't match making websites yet.
Qt being C++ also makes creating language bindings often harder so not all languages will let you build a Qt interface. GTK is C so it's more straightforward.
Maybe it needs a "/s" somewhere? You would think my disgust and contempt would be clear from context, but maybe not.
Denmark (I think) said that they'll freeze the economy, meaning that the state covers everything. Once over, it starts as if nothing happens. People will have no time to look for new jobs, they'll go to old ones and hopefully every company starts spending to support each other
_Technically_ there's a Python API on it: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing...

There's also a utility to help with the running of Ansible playbooks via Python (https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner).

However, I've said this many times before—if your playbooks start mixing Python into tasks, you're either doing something wrong (it could be architected better), or it's time to write a custom Ansible module so the Python goes into a `.py` file and not into YAML.

99% of my playbooks are strict YAML with maybe a few Jinja filters, which make everything very readable. But I've also seen a ton of YAML that makes me want to barf.
Spring Boot has everything you need to run very quickly. What you aiming at? Speedup of development or deployment?
Do the math on the death rate. Same as normal flu. Not the same thing as this pandemic.
It's alive!

Which reminds me, foobar2000's Mac port seems to be chugging along—though not open-source.
3. You can actually try and understand most of what's been written through reading, given that you're allowed the time for that. It's an investment, prevents technical debt and promotes progress. No one is born with the mediocre skills of big teams, one can (almost) always improve.
Bitcoin Core development is based on consensus. Right now there is no consensus for this change, and it's not really a brand new proposal.

But in reality, of course that doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter what code is accepted in some git repository somewhere, what matters is which code is actually run in the wild. Miners and pool operators are the ones who really have the power to accept or reject RBF by running their bitcoin with or without the patch. Right now almost all of them don't use it and the author of this article argues that it will stay that way. We will see.

Worst case things go wrong and bitcoin becomes unusable for a usecase that it was never designed to address.
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. -Steve Jobs
They're more stiff. Same with reds - they're more stiff compared to browns.
If you really want to try it yourself, you can order MX switches sampler (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Max-Keyboard-Keycap-Cherry-Sampler/dp/...).
If you're actually trying to warn people who are thinking about trying polyphasic sleep, you're going to need to provide some data.

I'm highly doubtful of polyphasic sleep but the phrase "you age several times faster during that time, approximately around 5 times faster" is at the same time vague and yet oddly specific.
Small businesses are far worse at all regulatory compliance, because unlike big businesses they can’t afford a compliance department. I see this as more a problem with excessive regulation than small businesses, but reasonable minds can differ.

And yes I’m a strong proponent of worker’s rights, it just sucks that being a small employer is a kafkaesque nightmare. I know one who was recently fined for paying his employees too much because they happened to be migrant workers.
Counterpoint: I fact checked and corrected an article - the original article author misread the cited source and claimed statistics that were plausible but incorrect. In the process I improved the readability of the paragraph I touched up. My change was never reverted, and it was within the last year on a page related to slavery and human trafficking, so it’s not like no one was watching it.
This has nothing to do with disarmament.
I don't think you can call it journalism if they can't spell...
I'm sure they would love to have tea with him in that situation. The last guy to have tea with the Russians ended up poisoned with polonium-210:

Honest question, aren’t the consequences for “real” researchers keeping their heads down quite severe? Won’t we have important policy decisions both public and private and billions in funding misdirected for years when they could best be put elsewhere? Sure the “real” researchers will have easier access to funding, which perhaps is a key motivating factor to not push back on the hype, but isn’t there a large opportunity cost to allowing hype and or bullshit to go unchecked because “they don’t have the time to write a book”?
Definitely a lot of peer validation in niche obsession. But the single person niche exists as well (and people in a bigger niche, but isolated), and there the only person to impress is oneself. A bigger the niche means that chances to stumble upon something still undiscovered are lower, so peer validation is irrelevant or maybe even a negative signal for obsessions that might turn into genious.
Does Native Print work over the Internet? That's what Cloud Print did
The difference is that you have the metacognition. You can think about your fitting. It’s possible to say that such a process is just another set of parameters, but they impact retro actively. At that point the metaphor of curve fitting might break down.
It would be so much better for the people in HK if Apple and the US had no economic influence there at all I’m sure.

Apple and the Americans that work for it would be so much richer if the majority of its revenue (international vs US) just disappeared.
Well, 95% of human activity is about curve fitting, so what?
Companies have not been big for very long. Stock only dates back 400 years, but try and find 10 giant companies with 100,000 employees from 300 years ago. It’s really better transportation and communication that’s allowed modern giants to be created. With the railroad and telegraph kicking things into high gear.
Exactly, that was the takeout from this discussion.

I'm going to make functionality to assign a rate for each website, a positive or negative one. Even rates for different parts of the website. Also, a potentially useful feature is to make a cap, like the first 30 min per day does not count.
Blacktron, Space Police II, Spyrius and my beloved Ice Planet 2002 was the greatest series of all time.

While all of them were set in space theme, there was literally no chance you could mistake one with another!

"Hey everyone, go visit this website that's probably serving malware!"
Out of curiosity, have you written a driver for a real network card, or are you guessing as to its difficulty? One of my college OS class's assignments was to write an e1000 driver, and as I recall, it was way easier than, like, getting interrupt handling right.

http://pdosnew.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/labs/lab6/

Drivers are also pluggable, by nature. Why do you think this constrains the OS to the "toy" category? Or do you mean it constrains only the current version, and if so, do you believe there to be an observable difference between "toy" and "prerelease"?
Facebook has Wayfinders that provide an interactive touch screen map all over campus. Type in a name and it shows you where they are, relative to where you are. Super handy.
As I age, I grow ever fonder of Tennyson, particularly his "Ulysses", from which:

...Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

... which is probably blocked for every China-based web visitor anyway.
And, while I don't have a source at hand (I should be asleep!), it's also worthwhile to know that the IE team that shipped 6 didn't have any idea it was about to ramped down — had they known that, they'd have pushed much harder to fix more bugs before shipping.
Mostly the latter, than I think there's a few cases where it might be some undiscovered natural phenomenon. I seem to remember people rejected the existence of ball lightning at one stage.

But alien spaceships, most unlikely, though it disappoints me to say so. I don't think we live anywhere special in galactic terms, or that our technology or environment is so interesting enough as to attract extraterrestrial attention.
"Our analysis shows that only about 1% of the requests for the Baidu Analytics script are receiving the malicious javascript as response. So in 99% of the cases everything behaves just like normal."

The way I see it, this has been a diagnostic test by the Chinese government, ensuring they have the power to globally take down any website (or servers) they please.
It's called tyranny of the majority and happens in countries with a weak constitution.
