Awesome! Nice to meet you! I love the internet :)
The trouble with all advice like this is that it all really depends on conditions on the ground and where you are.

If you are upwind of the blast, and a reasonable distance away, it might make sense to make a run for areas not effected by the blast and out of the immediate fallout pattern. Especially if there is an effort to rescue and remove survivors from the area underway. During an actual nuclear war there is unlikely to be any organized efforts by the surviving government, but after a terrorist attack, there will almost certainly be. And hopefully they will be broadcasting on emergency frequencies, hence the wind up radio.

If you are in the fallout area, unless you are in a well stocked fallout shelter, you are probably screwed. Rescue efforts are likely to be minimal for weeks. Food and water will be a problem. Not to mention people who've been wandering around in the fallout wanting to share your hidy hole. It could be pretty grim.
One of the two founders is married to Sergey Brin, plus Google has invested in the company
Having built a non-trivial production system, I have a love-hate relationship with AWS. I love the possibilities and potential, but I'm deeply disappointed when it fails to live up to the hype.

It's just a matter of alternatives. There's frankly no other IaaS out there that can match the features of EC2 (eg, EBS, elastic IP). These guys are unstoppable, they come out with more features every week.
I'll bet other companies (e.g. Heroku, Dropbox) that use AWS/EC2 would have similar things to say.

I did have this one question, being a guy with an IT background: they expected stability? Really? I always expect host/app/system failure, and am pleasantly surprised when it doesn't happen.
the location of data centers and other such physical constraints, like peering arrangements

This is not Netflix's core competency either. This is the core competency of a CDN. If you have problems like this, you should almost certainly hire one, and architect accordingly.

Netflix has long since done so:

Also, what are those things on her nipples? You can see it clearly when the opacity of everything is set to 0 except for a slight opaqueness of the body.
I can't believe it. I have also an account on pinboard.in but I'm really missing the for: feature available in del.icio.us. When you want to share urls with colleague, del.icio.us works very well especially if you have to discuss a topic and use del.icio.us as common sharing tool. It's a sad day if the news is confirmed.
That's a good point. I should imply a distinction between truly narcissistic bloggers who are doing it to gain attention for themselves and bloggers who are instead focused on themselves. They blog as a personal activity without viewership in mind. I Perhaps I should write a blog post on all this and bring it full circle.
Basic human decency, covered with an icing of crossed fingers?

I did it to create templates (svg with jinja2) that I then parsed to generate unique images as svg.

Inkscape made a nice initial template, but lacked finesse and precision with naming, scaling, text-wrapping and nesting. Inkscape came up with a rather messy blurp of XML. No clear IDS, rounding errors, arbitrary nesting through groups, arbitrary ordering, etc.

I see your point and I'd tend to agree, except that we've all seen cases of successful projects suffering under the umbrella of a big company. If Google took care of Nim or D, I'd be more than happy. But Python? It's doing well, they better leave it alone.
It’s scandalous you need to be a service like BackBlaze to get support at a registrar. A domain name is property and they are stealing it.

Goodhart's law: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure
Mistakes were made - by others.
As someone that has experienced a civilian coup in argentina, this is my first question. Trump has all to lose and nothing to gain from this event. But the opposition, and the anti-T republican party gains everything. The concerted Goog, facebook and Twitter censorship, something that would have been impossible to do 6 months ago now clamored if not sanctioned politically.

Civilian coups are very different from military coups. Military ones are easy to understand: the guy with the gun did it. Civilian coups happen when a majority or at least a great amount of people agree with what is happening so are willing to go along with the situation.

Trump is an idiot and gave a massive opening here. But the fact that there is so much consensus on what's happening next is not a defense of institutions, specially if this was sparked.
Regardless of your beliefs, today is a sad day for free speech.
This is also how I transitioned to Fastmail. Forward all mail from gmail to your own domain and then slowly unsubscribe or update the email on any that you receive. Eventually you will have most of your accounts and subscriptions moved over to your own domain. I still keep the email forwarding enabled just in case any old accounts send me something.
"Netflix" is not even 10% of a heater. Heating is so much more energy-costly than basically anything you do in your home.

Granted, seems like if you're driving ~40-60 miles a day, then you're looking at needing 4kW during the evenings. Not insignificant, but it's like... electric heating for one big room, basically.
It probably won’t be the norm in the future. I’ve been waiting for a “Big 4” company to announce some sort of permanent WFH plan but they haven’t budged, and that’s a bad sign.
I think a lot of software developers have swallowed the "be lean all the time" that the projects managers are selling :) . "Good enough is good enough" is another one I hear a lot from PM. Anyway there's something to be said for paying $1000 for that vacuum cleaner that you won't have to replace for 30 years.
yes private universities like stanford and harvard would have no way of creating competent well educated employees. do you have proof the employees even when to state schools?
I agree. I don't like having underlying health conditions listed as a statistic. I think it leads to people thinking "oh it only really affects people who are sick" and then those people go about their day as usual and spread the disease further. I didn't want to skip over it though out of fear of someone saying I tried to frame the stats to fit a narrative or something.
At least with folding at home they have set the covid19 research as top priority for all of the clients (regardless of the clients preference).

Note - as far as I know there are no covid19 CPU based works units, so you will continue to get normal work units if you have CPU slots available. This is worth mentioning, because by default the client adds your CPU to the available slots. On linux you have to go into advanced settings to enable the GPU at all, so it is something to watch out for.
Actually trust actual experts, instead of mindlessly listening to people with best marketing? This applies to both politics and w3schools.
This guy is a complete fraud. He's collecting $927/month on Patreon by deceiving generous and hopeful programmers. The claims on the web page are outright lies.

Furthermore it's really shady to release only closed source builds 2 days before a source release. Why the sudden change of mind? https://twitter.com/v_language/status/1137750611389288450

Some quotes from that issue:
"Do you go read firefox history?"
"Yea, this is really unnerving. I feel like I need to invalidate all my firefox sessions now. What did you do?"
"Lol that's what you guys get for running proprietary software."

I'm all on board with friendly competition, but this is pretty hostile behavior to the open-source community. Be honest about what your software can and cannot do. And release source or GTFO.
"Mind-bending" is a bit of a weasel word. What is the difference between "hard" and "mind-bending"?

Do you have any experience of the challenges of spaceflight software to demonstrate that all problems are of "sub-mind-bending" difficulty?
Its funny I backed into programming by starting to do web development in the mid 90s. I was completely self taught, as most people were at that time when the technology of the web was changing so fast that a CS degree was almost obsolete the instant it was printed. I got my first web development job with little more then a desire and an "HTML for Dummies" book (which for years was the most borrowed book in my library)

It made me always question if I was "doing it right" so I quickly learned to eat any pride I had and ask questions of people. When I look back at it I always say that was one of the keys to any success I had. Even as I move a ways from development to building a business I still find myself constantly asking for advice even at risk of looking a bit naive, because I always felt that asking for advice and help was the only way to get better.
I've had a relatively drug-free life, although I've often volunteered to be the sober friend while everyone else imbibes. I've never regretted it, I've had some great times not on drugs.

But if you've ever seen Little Miss Sunshine, the grandfather has a perspective on drug use that I've adopted wholeheartedly:

Don't you start taking that shit. When you're young, you're crazy to do that stuff.

What about you?

I'm old! When you're old, you're crazy not to do it.
I'm chilean but I'm also an anglo-celt so I can say that's a very accurate description of how is life in Santiago of Chile. I encourage you to read it.
That's missing the point. Remote work means you are always "in the office".

Increased flexibility in working arrangements is good, but it doesn't change the nature of the work that is done.
Always excellent content from Christopher Olah. So few people do such a clear job of explaining these concepts -- this is technical writing done right.

I'm self-taught and I'm seeking for an internship or junior developer role. I'm at the moment seeking for my first developer role. I would appreciate working with anyone or joining a startup willing to take a chance on me.

I'm very proficient working with the above technologies especially Python/Django. I'm an elixir enthusiast and I have been dabbling with it for a few personal projects. One of my recent work for a client is www.smartstuddy.com.

Feel free to reach out I'm open to opportunities and I'm adept to learning quickly and working with a team.
There are two skills at play here:

1. Asking for feedback in a way that will result in a constructive response

2. Accepting constructive feedback

Just a few days ago I asked people to rip apart my consulting page [0], and I received a handful of truly excellent feedback; some positive, some negative, but all were constructive.

PS - Glad to see you're using a gag cartoon instead of just a stock image. For anyone else wanting to do the same (it gets more engagement than stock photos), I run a side project that helps you find and license these cartoons easily and cheaply [1]. I know Jason Cohen (of WPEngine) uses similar cartoons.

Ed, I respectfully disagree. Tim Ferriss is a hacker. All of those things are _exactly_ the kind of "creative playfulness" that embodies the hacker spirit.

I find Tim way more inspiring than "yet another discussion on how $TECHNOLOGY_X is {dead,the hottest thing since sliced bread}."

YMMV.
Title is incorrect, a database belonging to a third party that contained some user information was compromised, part of the data belonged to Deviantart but the database did not.
The uncertainty of tomorrow is really the point. If things are going well today, why not be generous and lend a hand to someone else today whilst you can. Things go round and come round, and a good deed one day inevitably becomes pay back for the good samaritan on the morrow.
It's a good sign of ViEmu's quality that they provide the standard Vim cheatsheet without any editing. I haven't used ViEmu myself, but their emulation seems extensive -- impressive given how limited to the point of uselessness Vi-emulating "keybindings" are for other software.
I realize that there is a lot of hate directed towards Tim Ferriss and his tactics, but you can learn a ton from him. Even if you ignore everything that he says and writes, just watching him in action will make you a better entrepreneur. I haven't watched/listened to the interview yet, but it seems like Tim is a great fit for Mixergy.
Park a "chatty" protocol host on the other side of the planet. (E.g. a rich client.)

I like the idea, nck4222!

How do I mark things as spam or ham?

A sidebar on the right that explains what the site is might help me know what I'm doing, or how to use it.

Also-

It might be nice to add a few suggested feeds, under the add feed button.

If I import a bad feed, (example: import "http://daringfireball.net/index.xml without stripping of the http) the app seems to hang.

Also- Importing an OMPL might speed adoption.

Summary- It looks neat, I like the idea, but I can't figure out how to Bayseanify it. It's just displaying all my feeds.
One of the things I appreciate about HN is that when people shoot something down, they provide an intelligent and well-researched rationale to support their arguments. With that in mind:

* Have you read the book?

* Do you have thoughts of your own about why Tim Ferris's methods cannot be applied to exercise?

If so, I would be genuinely delighted to read them.
Yeah, I'm sure that wouldn't cripple them at all...

If you're shipping commercial products based on Pis and running dist-upgrade you're likely doing it wrong. Using something like [Balena](https://www.balena.io) you can ship full update images so that devices are always in a known good state, rather than potentially having some proportion of the OS in a half-upgraded state. The key thing is to support atomic updates - the device is either updated, or it isn't.

There's then a bunch of other stuff you want to do like turning down log levels, and only logging super important stuff to the SD card, which will drastically improve the lifetime of your storage.
Amnesty International has said it will cease calling Alexei Navalny a “prisoner of conscience”, following pressure to condemn anti-migrant statements he made in the 2000s as hate speech.

The world was not ready to understand why Tipjoy was such a great idea. When I wish Tipjoy succeeded, I'm mostly wishing the world were different.

Tipjoy had to be shut down by its financial nature. Other sites can stay up on autopilot for a long time. Anyvite grew after its founders moved on, enough so that they recently came back and gave it more attention. Snipshot is one I think could enjoy a rebirth if they made it work on the iPad.
Yeah -- it is. Like you say, many of the programs are well-meaning (education, help for the poor, green energy) -- but would be much better served through simple grants rather than tax credits.
While I think this is a BS excuse to hide behind(trade secrets, really?), Google has every right to hire only the most qualified applicants it finds. If they have to hire people based on race, how is that not discrimination? These people are advocating racism, as long as it benefits their race.
Keep in mind that as much psychology research as possible is done with college students as subjects. After all, requiring your Psych 101 freshmen to fill out a questionnaire is a lot easier, quicker, and cheaper than recruiting a wider range of subjects.

And your "law of social networks" also applies to real-world immigration.
The thing that I don't understand is that the problem of getting frameworks to work consistently with web servers has already been solved by the Rack project. For the life of me, I can't understand why CF doesn't simply look for a config.ru file and pass it to Thin and be done with it.
Well then, it's possible that your distribution of knowledge is atypical.

Besides, most people have forgotten most of what they knew in fourth-grade science, unfortunately. I recently gave a talk about planetary science to a classroom full of seven-year-olds, and was astonished how many random facts some of them seemed to know.

Kid: "How many moons does Jupiter have?"

Me: "Well, there's four large ones, and quite a number of smaller ones. We're still discovering new ones, and the smallest ones are only a kilometer or so in diamet..."

Kid: "Sixty-three!"

I checked when I got home, and damn, he was right, there are currently 63 known moons of Jupiter. I research Jupiter for a living and I didn't know that, but this seven-year-old kid did.

Symmetrical downlink and uplink is the really exciting part to me. Imagine being able to transmit GB-sized files point to point in a matter of minutes. There are so many opportunities for stuff you can do with that :)
Tbey are building a search engine. This is data source of human proportions.
Competing by convenience can buy you a lot of price flexibility. The less mainstream the content, the more challenging piracy becomes. The iTunes model was built with this in mind: make it absurdly easy to buy any song, make the price reasonable enough to pay for the convenience. It's a smart way to deal with content.
You can say that again. By far the worst; quite frequently I have to make several tries and occasionally resort to Google. I used to play with this technology in the early-mid '90s when it was a document imagine adjunct and I'm truly impressed by how bad it is.

I would be very surprised if they were not losing a significant amount of business from this deficit, especially outside of the well cataloged area of books.
Congrats, and nice writeup. Thank you very much.

(Actually, "internet" also has a similar spike. I suspect some books are mislabeled in their dates.)
Silly that the anime studios have not learned anything from the recording industry's last 10+ years battle with internet piracy and the success of online music stores. But I suppose it is difficult to accept that your business strategy, which has worked for many years, is now no longer working.
It's not a benefit. Most other modern languages are also async, they just don't force the programmer to think about it. Go, for example, is just as "async" when it comes to efficiency as Node.js (more so, actually, since it can use more than one CPU core.)

The whole notion that node.js (or Python's Twisted) makes everything more efficient by putting you in an event loop is just a cop-out for not having something more intuitive like blocking semantics with an evented I/O scheduler.
yes, npr has been my main news source for a while, but i can no longer listen for more than a few minutes at a time (to try to stay informed) because the outrage narratives have been turned up to 11. it's non-stop and highly grating. certain voices are an insta-off for me and the list of those voices only keeps growing.
I have 1 Android phone, 1 Windows PC and 2 Macs, all for the same account - works pretty well for me!
Is there any reason to believe mastodon is “better” than twitter though? I don’t have a whole lot of nice things to say about twitter and I’m neither a twitter nor mastodon user but I don’t really understand how “decentralized federation” solves any of twitter’s major issues? And it seems like it would come with its own set of issues when it isn’t centralized.
I agree, that single nano-drone isn't scary. What of a swarm of hundreds?
If Tether Ltd. had at any point in time made any significant USDT -> USD redemptions that outweighed the new USDT given out to new buyers, we should have seen that by a significant number of Tethers being destroyed. Looking at the historic Tether market cap on CoinMarketCap - which is practically equal to all non-destroyed tethers due to USDT being pegged to the USD - however does not reveal any significant drop in Tether market cap ever that could be an indication of actual redemptions. And I refuse to believe that in all of Tethers' history, with all of Bitcoins' ups and downs, there has never been a period in which people weren't pulling more money out of the crypto ecosystem than other people were putting fresh money in. I would expect that to be the case in most of the Bitcoin deflation phases.
Exactly! The lack of this feature is completely baffling.
IIRC I even bought the app on the app store and then had some kind of "lifetime" plan, easier times
