I love Kipling, especially his more humorous work. Case in point:

I go to concert, party, ball --
What profit is in these?
I sit alone against the wall
And strive to look at ease.
The incense that is mine by right
They burn before her shrine;
And that's because I'm seventeen
And She is forty-nine.

I cannot check my girlish blush,
My color comes and goes;
I redden to my finger-tips,
And sometimes to my nose.
But She is white where white should be,
And red where red should shine.
The blush that flies at seventeen
Is fixed at forty-nine.

I wish I had Her constant cheek;
I wish that I could sing
All sorts of funny little songs,
Not quite the proper thing.
I'm very gauche and very shy,
Her jokes aren't in my line;
And, worst of all, I'm seventeen
While She is forty-nine.

The young men come, the young men go
Each pink and white and neat,
She's older than their mothers, but
They grovel at Her feet.
They walk beside Her 'rickshaw wheels --
None ever walk by mine;
And that's because I'm seventeen
And She is foty-nine.

She rides with half a dozen men,
(She calls them "boys" and "mashers")
I trot along the Mall alone;
My prettiest frocks and sashes
Don't help to fill my programme-card,
And vainly I repine
From ten to two A.M. Ah me!
Would I were forty-nine!

She calls me "darling," "pet," and "dear,"
And "sweet retiring maid."
I'm always at the back, I know,
She puts me in the shade.
She introduces me to men,
"Cast" lovers, I opine,
For sixty takes to seventeen,
Nineteen to foty-nine.

But even She must older grow
And end Her dancing days,
She can't go on forever so
At concerts, balls and plays.
One ray of priceless hope I see
Before my footsteps shine;
Just think, that She'll be eighty-one
When I am forty-nine.
I work in an open office space that usually has around 6 people but never more than 10 and I like it a lot.

1000 sounds like a nightmare.
This is nice so far, but I wish they had found a way to record with less white-static and it would've been really impressive.
“This is a platform that’s owned by artists,” - Jay Z

I think he meant, "This is a platform owned by established, rich, and ageing artists, whose resolve to assist up-and-comers should rightfully be questioned."

Not to say this can be any worse then something like Spotify, which already trounces over the independents, but I hardly think this is a likely group to bring democracy and creativity back to the musical scene.
Extrovert here, former introvert (yeah, it's not fixed). I appreciate the defense against what is at the very least a statement of extreme arrogance by the GP.

I love a quiet workspace, and I also enjoy an open office plan. There's a need for the advantages of both environments—the ease of collaboration and the focused heads-down time—which is why this is such a difficult discussion to have.
I dislike open offices but when it's this big it actually can work because all the noise just becomes white. In a small open office, you pretty much have to be silent but in a big one, you can speak freely. We (PayPal) had a big open office like this in Omaha and it actually kind of works better than some might think.
The HN title needs changing.

The Washington Post title is Fed aid in financial crisis went beyond U.S. banks to industry, foreign firms. Reading the story, it's apparent the Fed lent money to a variety of companies from various countries - presumably to keep markets liquid.

That's very different to a bail out, which implies giving money away.
Kind of like a gamey beef. It's quite delicious rare and medium rare, but doesn't take well to long cooking.

It's best as steaks, grilled kebabs and such... The mince makes an OK substitute for beef in dishes that are moist (Such as a bolognese) but isn't good for dry dishes (Like burgers).

If you're using it for something more moist, you should lard it with something... I use butter, because Hey, nothing wrong with extra butter.
Also keep in mind that "PC market" includes corporate purchases, not just home consumers.
Congratulations!

Could you explain in layman's terms, where did the difficulties lie in using FreeBSD on EC2? Since I think I heard an announcement that FreeBSD 8 supports Xen domU, though I can't find any information to this effect now and FreeBSD Handbook doesn't mention it either: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vi...
For reference, the i386 one for ubuntu is here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/install...
A lot more censorship. Facebook doesn't let you link to sites they don't like. Even in private communications.
Could you share some information about how your app code is structured? The main reason I'm using Django is because I like that it gives me a directory structure. The only examples I've seen of webapp are a ton of handlers in one main.py file, which doesn't seem maintainable.

Isn't that riddled with the same problems ultimately?

You set up a system, which inherently ensures a certain resource will remain/become scarce (...for all of humanity), or fail. That's just super counter-productive for human prosperity...
The book I use to instruct software engineering uses it, and I do use that chapter.
In my state the children are issued ChromeBooks and if needed, Cellular Data hotspots. If you are in a troubled home, then all bets are off. Kids need to be back in school.
update nobody wants: I took other's advice and contacted the mods and reported like the private message suggests. Somehow that was "evading the ban" which got me a permanent site-wide ban. I never logged in to any other account or posted on the banned one in the sub banned from. It makes no sense. Did they just take a sub mods false word on this? I would have thought that's something determined in code pretty easily. I'll respect this though and not use their service, and talk truthfully about them to anyone who will listen. I understand they are a ycombinator company, so please don't ban me here too for sports wrongthink and being critical of a once really good platform.
Some crypto can be potentially tracked by governments, but it's a lot harder to seize someone's wallet than it is to close their bank account. Having a non-state backed currency is a prerequisite to anarchy.
Coeducation and joined competitions still aren't a thing in sports, even chess. It isn't a problem to separate, if there really is a difference imho.

> That actually strenghtens the point though, doesn't it? You can also have chess teams, science clubs, and other activities which cater to the best pupils, while keeping the current educational model.

No, it doesn't. If you really would go through with that, you are making the better pupils waste their time in regular boring classes with the same effects on them I've described, and then make them take more clubs in addition to the boring stuff. And it will be quite a lot of clubs, one for each subject basically. That wastes school resources as well as pupils' time. And it reinforces to the pupils that being smart is a curse that will make you waste extra time in school just to not be bored out of your scull watching the worse pupils scratch their heads over trivialities.

If you want to do it right, you need alternative regular classes or alternative schools for better pupils.
Reminds me of a project a friend and I took part in, sending each other source code via postal mail. I ended up sending a QR code printed on film negative [0] to pack about 1k of bytes. Bellard's code is way more "information-dense" of course..! :-)

Edit: incredibly, pointing the iPhone camera app at the low-ish resolution photo of the QR code above works -- the QR code does decode. That's crazy.
This is an excellent comment, but I want to point out that getting a cancer that has a strong genetic correlation is still "luck" rather than "behavior" from the perspective of a cancer patient.
http://surf.suckless.org/ is already a thing.
It also highlights the replacement of certain terms rather well as far as examples go.
Seems like the perfect example to me.
My question isn't necessarily specific to Google, but is it frowned upon if you bring noise-cancelling headphones?

I am a weirdly fluctuating person and some days I work best in total seclusion. Others I need to sit in the middle of a cafe and have the noise and people around me.

So my goal is to be as adaptive as possible without harming the day-to-day work life.
What is the practicality of that aircraft? It can't lift near as much as a Antonov 225 (545,000lb (247,000kg) vs 22,050lb (10,000kg))

I don't know how it works, but for infrequent situations like this couldn't you just use the Square service by typing in the card number?

Watching climate change deniers periodically change up their bullshit because the old bullshit got too obviously wrong has been equal parts hilarious and frustrating.

I guess now we're at the "okay okay fine, it's a problem, and humans are causing it. But we should still do nothing to fix it, because... China?"

Screaming right past the acceptance stage and in for another loop of denial.
I cracked the screen on my T430 a few years ago. Stepped on it, much like you. I am far from the handiest guy when it comes to hardware but I was able to pick up a replacement panel online and the replacement was quite straightforward. I ended up handing that laptop down to my son and he got another 3 years of daily use out of it. He'd still be using it now in college but the performance was finally starting to drag too much for some of his software needs.
This book is just brilliant. It was actually originally written in 1978. For me, it's in the same league as "The Mythical Man-Month".

Right now, I am wrestling with exactly the same issues: designing data structures for representing real-world entities, discovering the roles they play (in a financial decision in my case), gathering data about the entities (depending on their roles), confirming the relationships between them, and validating attributes about them, based on primary data with differing degrees of reliability.

I've been through various iterations, painfully getting better at representing "what is true and what don't we know yet".

Reading "Data and Reality" just now was like a distillation of my endeavour, all in one place. Plus lots of things I haven't properly considered yet.

I can see why many people find it dull: if you haven't struggled with representing these distinctions yourself, it can well sounds like pointless nitpicking and overcomplicating straightforward situations.

So a big thank you to the original poster, Tomte.
You are indeed correct; the copyright no longer needs to be mentioned explicitly by the owner.
Thanks for that. I'll try to cram that onto the homepage someplace. If it's not obvious to you, it won't be to anybody else.
I worked with a coder about 10 years ago who had been looking into speech recognition for video games. He came up with some pretty interesting prototypes that he ultimately had to throw away. His companies legal department told him speech recognition is a legal minefield with most algorithms patented and some very trigger happy lawyers defending those patents.

In the end they went with an inferior solution from one of the big hardware manufacturers who coincidentally were also mentioned by the legal team as a patent holder.

So maybe real research is being hampered?
If you want to make your clients not worry, take over the entire process of being on the internet, not just hosting (there's a lot of worry in getting a website made). Get a network of freelancers and farm out the actual work, but you're the face of the work that the clients always talk to.

But there's a pitfall here: While you can make money on developing website, it's very hard to make money from value-added hosting. If you charge maybe $25/month, you can afford maybe 15 minutes of support a month, and you still face the risk of the client moving to some crappy host that only charges $5/month (80% savings!!) and they won't know what they're missing (you) until it's too late.

Either way, you're going to end up in the people business, not the hosting business -- and is that what you want?
This is why I stopped releasing source code. Idiots who want 15 mins of fame and constant attention but cannot create, so they consume what others create.

You own the copyright. The declaration is an option. If you have been financially damaged by this, then you have legal recourse, but you must be able to prove damages with a dollar figure.
The main point is usually about reliability and fault-tolerance. Distribution and concurrency are a bit of a lucky side-effect from that (and the standards that were in the telecom world back then).

I'm exaggerating, but distribution came into the language much much later and wasn't exactly a design goal when the language was started as far as I know :)
Macrobenchmarks are made up of microbenchmarks.

More seriously, if your code is serially 10x faster, you can grow 10x further before you need to worry about horizontal scaling.
I think the idea that users that need/advocate these features can contribute fixes to an open source project is one of the unfortunate myths (for want of a better word) of the FOSS movement. The idea is noble, but, as with Mozilla, the items that project sponsors want fixed/sorted get fixed/sorted, while other "unsexy" features/bugs/components just get left behind for years.
From the URL alone, the first thing that came to mind was "Instead of office chair, package contained bobcat. Would not buy again." (https://xkcd.com/325/)
>All the police had to do was knock on his door and ask for it back. If he refused, that's grounds for theft.

No, it's not. For all the police knew, as you say, it could have fallen off on its own. Definitely not PC.
Not a disaster, been loving it at least five years. Still, a few niche bugs could be fixed, why not?

In the meantime as a workaround, make fs links with ascii names and/or subclass ZipFile. I had to monkey patch a Py2 stdlib module once to fix it for a year or so until it was fixed. Probably httplib if memory serves.

good point, the tax on a truck should be proportional to the wear and tear of that truck on the road
Good luck explaining "simpler" with modules and vectors :).

Simple is defined as not to inter-wine. To understand an axiom is to understand how it "inter-wine" with other axioms to prove certain results. So fewer axioms necessarily results in more interwines, ie complex. I think here we are switching the subjects: from axiom itself to the results that we want to prove. If we focus on the simplicity of proving the results, the simplicity of axioms are irrelevant.
I mean, don't just bubble out errors until they lack context then. Rewrap them to add more context like ConfFileReadError(io::Error).
SQL functions can be inlined in Postgres
And Postgres does not support read uncommitted to begin with.

But I agree that implicit conversion is the root of a lot of evil
It looks like it was designed by a guy who makes rockets — and it was. I admire the chutzpah to make something that looks so different than what is selling, but it seems like the kind of "futuristic" that would be made from cardboard in a sixth-grade "back to the Future" theater performance. It's easy to see what's cool about it, but it's somehow very immature.

Though I admit the longer I've looked at it, the more neutral I feel about it, but maybe that's just a personality defect.

Elon said in advance he doesn't care if people don't like how it looks, so clearly he anticipated some negative feedback about the look. I can see it in a lot of scenarios, but just not in my driveway.
> Counter-argument: Just let it sit there and keep working? Outside of security patches, if there even are any, there's always the option of "just stop touching it."

That's not exactly possible with a monorepo that has no branches and everything has to be maintained 'in step'. Any time a library breaks API, all dependents must pass tests, and/or be fixed so that they do. Any time a runtime API breaks (think things like interfaces to runtime authentication, compute scheduling, database services, network bandwidth scheduling), updated services must be made to conform and then be rolled out. As with real life, this might mean getting a 1 or 2 year old deployment system (configuration for production, roll out code, ...) undusted, understood, probably fixed in turn, etc.

As such, some SRE/SWE team _must_ be responsible for projects that are in the "don't touch"/maintenance phase. This is very unsexy, toil-y and you don't get promoted for it - and as such barely anyone wants to do it at Google.
> This isn't they by finding. There is a difference between finding an object on the side of the road versus finding an object arched to your property.

Sure.

If you're car gets booted, you can't keep that either.
I would never trade under my own name in a pre- or post-trade transparent market that included broker ID. Competitors are great at working with lots of data. You don't think they'd take a crack at reverse engineering my models given a feed of every trade I did (or even worse, all my orders)?
A lot of martial arts are wildly impractical in 99.99% of everyday circumstances. The list includes almost all martial arts involving bladed weaponry, most martial arts involving canes or blunt instruments, and most of the classical, unarmed arts that a layperson would recognize.

This is one of the major reasons why "practical" martial arts, such as Krav Maga, have become so popular in recent years. It doesn't mean the less practical arts are not "arts," or are somehow not "martial." The history of martial arts is a history of the militaries, weapons, circumstances, etc., that have given rise to the need for formalized combat styles throughout the world. In feudal Japan, for instance, it was probably a very helpful and practical thing to be well-versed in the art of the samurai sword. In present-day Japan, a bit less so.

Some martial arts are practical in 2015. Some martial arts were practical in 1915, and some were practical in 1515. Circumstances change. The stuff people wear, or carry around with them everyday, or bring into a combat zone, change pretty quickly and dramatically. And of course, some martial arts have never really been practical at all, being used mainly for ceremony, discipline, and lifestyle.
In order to use docker volume you have to stick your ArangoDB docker instance to exact same mesos worker. Otherwise database instance may be started by marathon on any random chosen worker, without saved volume. IMHO, sticking database instance to exact cluster node renders whole idea of using mesos and marathon completely useless.

I would suggest you hyper target your site with key advertisers that can support content. For example, MS for Azure content. They can provide readers with real value. But requires you figure out how they can make it worth it for your audience.

Yup we’re cleaning up the project right now and will post a link soon. It was in the pile of things we didn’t quite get to do before launch… Sorry about the delay.

I haven’t looked too deep personally but I don’t think the speedup comes from anything new we’re doing in the C++ layer. It’s more likely coming from the fact that we tried to find smart ways around Java & the JVM to avoid the kind of copying or hijacking other ORMs do. We did hit some of that stuff again yesterday/today as we just added migrations into the mix but we have some theories on how to get some of that speed back.
Volume caps were such a bad idea, but likely instituted to prevent tax fraud rather than the expectation of a viable EV.
You don't touch type I assume?

Touch typing is not only about typing faster. It gives you this other ability of "running your control panel" out of the home keys only (four fings on each hand resting on a,s,d,f and j,k,l,;). When you have to lift one of the hands off the home keys and move it to the mouse to do anything, and I mean anything, it's super annoying and frustrating.

Those who never learned to touch type are not likely to grok the appeal of mouseless work.
It's interesting that the 3 things you give as an example have sky rocketed in cost not because of the 1%, but mostly due to government interference in the free market. Government backed loans have driven up the cost of education and housing. Local governments limiting housing construction have further driven up the cost in many areas. Government created monopolies like the AMA have driven up the cost of healthcare.
Still need to find a good read-later alternative, could be an idea. Pocket is just my long-used application, got so used to it
Yeah but that disincentivizes investments.
It did have wear leveling. They were just writing such an ungodly amount to it (more than the 8GB capacity) per day it defeated the purpose of wear leveling.
If you're talking Austrian economists, who are the primary proponent of the "fed is the bad buy, bring back the gold standard" argument, they explicitly reject any attempt at modeling or mathematical analysis. They are only interested in arguments based on "self evident" axioms.

I've read many of the books you're talking about, and there's a reason they are "unpopular" and “discredited".
