That's weird, I posted something similar today after postive experiences using the pomodoro technique -

http://www.minklinks.com/weblog/2010/11/16/countering-procra...

(original HN submission here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1910005)

I haven't tried GTD. My experience so far with pomodoro has basically helped in two areas: focus and distraction.

I'm finding that I'm much more focused on the task at hand (and have usually planned it) with pomodoro. I'm also more aware of my distractions. That's not to say that I don't get interrupted, but that I handle it a lot more efficiently.

As for things such as maintaining interest, I'm not sure if that's a goal with pomodoro, but it's too early for me to tell.
You probably should have left a long time ago, from the sound of what you're saying.

Main thing to keep in mind (and that people too often forget in situations like these) is that you don't owe it to them to stay in this job. If something in your gut is telling you that what you're doing isn't just isn't right, "it's insane", killing you financially... then it probably is.

Another thing to keep in mind is that it's much better to quit and have nothing to show for 6 months of work, than... to get fired / laid off and have nothing to show for 6 months of work (and/or possibly not getting paid for the last several weeks of this.) Get my drift?

So it's up to you to "do the right thing" here. You'll wait until finding another job before giving notice of course. But the main thing is to do what's right for you, and on your timetable, not theirs.

I notice it starts to come on from time to time. Starts with dull pain in the outside area of my wrists (wrist/arm juncture on the pinky side of the hand).

Icing at night works wonders for me. RSI can be due to inflammation in the tendon sheaths. Put an incepack (I wrap my in ace bandages to keep them on) for 15 minutes every couple of nights. Don't ice too long, don't let the ice touch your skin, or you'll risk some cold burns.

I think their version of cheaper and lighter will be the next step up from the A4, i.e. something ARM-based for their iOS devices. By avoiding the Core iX chips in the 11"/13" devices in favour of a faster GPU they've already demonstrated they're not keen to sacrifice computing power below a certain level.
Can you share a few titles of the games you make? I'd like to see python game.
>as we saw with Heartbleed, the "many eyes" theory is flawed as well.

I don't think Heartbleed counts as some sort of evidence against the "many eyes" paradigm. There are so many better bugs for that, as Heartbleed is really low hanging fruit. OpenSSL is a total nightmare. I've posted elsewhere about this at length - but in short OpenSSL is really an example of what a good program _shouldn't_ do. How a good program _shouldn't_ be written. There is a list of sins a mile long on http://opensslrampage.org/.

The truth is that there is no guarantee that Windows, Linux, or BSD are not backdoored by the NSA, GCHQ, or FSB. There's no guarantee you didn't get owned and Chuck Blackhat installed a backdoor on your computer. The real reason to use OpenBSD is because it's had less remote exploits in the past 15 years than Windows has had in the past year. The real reason to use Linux and BSD is because that software respects your freedom. If you don't care about things like software freedom or if you feel the security of Windows is "good enough" for what you're doing then of course you don't care about Linux and BSD.
Wasn't it an Atari Portfolio? If memory serves, it had a mostly functional MS-DOS, so writing a program for it was likely not an arduous task. That being said, rewatching those scenes, it was a striking little device for its day and ahead of its time.
thanks for the reply! I'll give it a try with my friends :)
It's identical to the ternary operator (for most c like programming languages)
The outcome seems to depend greatly on the physical design of the laptops. The elsewhere-mentioned Dell XPS 13 has a particularly poor cooling design, which is why I chose the Razer Book instead. Despite being marketed in a very silly way to gamers only, it seems to have competent mechanical design.
What’s fascinating is that genome is highly dynamic. The transposons rearrange themselves all the time and are believed to be remnants of ancient viruses. And there’s probably many more pieces of DNA which are domesticated viruses. Alu element comes to mind, which is the most common transposable element in human genome and probably has a role in regulating gene expression.
I love that every time someone says something is a hoax a person who was there shows up to correct the record :)
It's called the Gish gallop after a creationist who used this technique during debates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop
Regardless of where anyone thinks the maximas are in software trade-off space, developers are going to experiment shipping software at new points anyway, as markets at known points become saturated and exploration again becomes worthwhile in expectation.

The aspect of this collective optimization process that seems particularly helpful and tractable to focus on is ensuring that users know the risks and benefits of their various options.

I'm more interested in seeing web platforms point users to excellent, impartial 3rd party analyses of their options and their associated risks/benefits, rather than stomp out innovation that some people clearly think is worth trying.
Where is the proof that this random IP has anything to do with The Pirate Bay?
With the rise of remote jobs, I wonder if it will become common to apply a race and gender filter to your Zoom camera feed in order to satisfy diversity quotas?
I think it's not worth talking about them at all - IMO the journalist reaction to the scandal is most interesting. There's still no disclaimer on Nathan Grayson's articles and guys like Devin are playing 'See No Evil'.

But when we must talk about them, we can use their public names and get along fine. Getting their former identities doesn't help people who want to clean up journalism, it just helps dig up background dirt.
Which appears to have a remarkably wide intake, striving not to be simply a place that rich French aristocrats send their children. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/05/world/europe/05iht-educLed...

Bravo.
Demanding that someone else feed you has proven to be a very successful strategy for cats, it remains to be seen if it is a long term strategy for humans.
People already do this online. Facebook is very good at making sure you only see what you agree with.
I’m surprised how quickly the CO2 level rises! Any idea how high it would get if you never open a window?
The email protocol is being used for instant messaging — check out DeltaChat. It works much better than I expected, and it is possibly the most desentralized solution there is.
Can you elaborate? Saudi Arabia is just one member of OPEC. If they are upset with a US sanction as a consequence of this, and refuse to sell oil to the US, wouldn’t that just mean other OPEC nations (or Canada!) would sell oil to the US and Saudi would fill the gap left by these countries supplying non-US countries?

I think the “stabilizing force in the region” argument elsewhere n these comments is more on the mark but have a limited understanding of everything at play.

I am concerned that Saudi has gotten away with this now and will be emboldened to do whatever they want now.
But how many MB do these apps consume?
I think it's really cool as well. Although, it does start to look a little wonky with quotes and probably some other characters and makes skimming a bit harder. Maybe monospaced fonts will start to handle this better if it gets popular?
Can you explain how you would be better off without ABS than with it on ice?

Ice is precisely the type of situation ABS is built for.
>For example, why does any app need to know which other apps I have installed, and how long I use them?

It helps collect data that can be used to help detect malicious users of services.
I would love to work on something like this. Optimizing assembler instructions for size, speed.. just writing some. How do you get a job in this? Is embedded land like this?
AMC is trading at like a reasonable price, why does that one keep getting lumped in?

I’m long AMC sub $10 :p
I work in game development; the amount of care and craft depends on whether I am working on a reusable component / shared system, or one-off code for a specific feature.

The real hell comes when you think you're working on one and it's actually the other; you either burn time on an overcomplicated solution or invent a maintenance nightmare.

Just like any other development, you need to make guesses about what will change and what will stay the same and your efficiency depends on the accuracy of those guesses.
You are correct.

Technical ability is somewhere in the continuum between fixed and growth. When I look at natural artists draw portraits, I realize that it will take me years and days of continual practice to get to their point (even if I ever do). The true measure of a good portrait artist is how few lines they take to capture the essence of an individual.

As someone once explained to me, it is hard to be the global maximum (e.g. the most attractive person in the world or the best coder in the world). It is much more achievable to be the local maximum (e.g. the best listener/most interesting person at the party, the one who regularly gives interesting technical talks at the local niche meet up). And really - therein buried is my point - if you truly want to be an exceptional programmer, I believe you must help others become better. Otherwise, what are you contributing? Your high income paycheck to buy stuff? True happiness comes from belonging (strongly) to a community.

The way I look at fixed vs growth is in terms of diversification. Yes, if I invest 1000 hours in beginning to go through TAOCP - I might become a better algorithmic thinker. However, what would becoming a better algorithmic thinker do to my medium and long-term goals? I personally and strongly believe that the more we invest in areas that we have interest in and may fear a bit (fear is a very good indicator of what you need to work on) and yet may be relatively weak in e.g. learning how to sell, connect to people - the more diversified your life, relationships, acquaintances, and skills will become.
Facebook is only 10 years, so (1) that claim is obviously nonsense, (2) those "burnounts" are $10millionaires by age 30.
fastmail.fm. Their webmail is pants (all webmail save GMail is pants), but their IMAP service has been 100% bulletproof. Oh, and MobileMe for pics, but that's because I'm trapped in the MobileMe universe because the value of OTA contact syncing is just ... barely ... enough, and now most of my pics are there. Vendor lock in is easy; the first hit (when I was an employee) was free.
Did they completly forgot what Albert Einstine said about the 4rth world war. Its a sad news for not just koreans but for the world.
Oh yes. The worst is having to suffer through the NPR pledge drive after I've already donated.

I kinda wish the politics and technology allowed them to offer a premium version with no corporate messages or pledge drives.
Looks good. Some nits though:

1. There isn't enough margin on the left side of the page. The text bumps up right against the edge of my browser. I don't know if this is just an oversight due to me smaller screen size (1024x600) or if everyone sees it like that.

2. The main page has horizontal scrolling on my netbook with fullscreen Chromium.
That's because "the team" was laid off on Tuesday.
That doesn't follow, Apple provides 6 different purposes for collecting data linked to the user:

* Third-Party Advertising

* Developer’s Advertising or Marketing

* Analytics

* Product Personalization

* App Functionality

* Other Purposes

The features you mentioned would fall under "App Functionality" and as you imply it would be legitimate. The reservation with Facebook is all the data they collect for the five other purposes. In my own analysis of thousands apps[0] I explicitly excluded data collected for app functionality purposes because of this. FWIW most of Facebook's app collect 128 data types(by far the most of the ~5000 apps I've analysed) across those five purposes, WhatsApp collects only 18.

"After Snowden, the NSA Faces Recruitment Challenge"

Good.
We do the proxying straight from our CDN nodes, so it basically works like putting a CDN in front of the app/site you're proxying.

This also means you have an HTTP cache in front of the proxied site, so if you use HTTP caching headers like max-age or Etag we'll respect that and do conditional get requests to the backend or serve cached responses straight out of our CDN.
This is exactly what I was looking for. My brother gave me a C64 (a 1982 model) for Christmas this year, so I'm going to play with this in 2015 and code some demos.
fibers are lightweight threads, employing a sort of non-preemptive multitasking paradigm. it basically spawns a 'thread' that will be resumed only when the callback has returned, which returns the data passed to the callback.

the code is here: https://github.com/luciotato/waitfor/blob/master/waitfor.js, but it does require fibers.
Compared to data.table, tidyverse offers significantly better readability and ergonomics in exchange for worse computational and memory efficiency, with the magnitude of the performance ranging from negligible to catastrophic depending on the operation and your data volume. At that data volume, you're probably doing some things that would OOM or hang for days if you translated your data.table code to the corresponding tidyverse code.
Huh, One more kid get wrangled/stuck in bike in some tragic accident and Apple would lose ten times more than Peloton ever lost. Besides endless memes about "Killer Apple" and so on.

I guess Apple would prefer to stay dumb on this thing.
I'm expecting a Ghost in the Shell type attack on Tesla's update software that gives all the Tesla's self driving, and they auto-drive themselves to the next protest, ala Freedom Convoy without the truckers. Then brick them, once they reach the protest, so they can't be driven home (only towed).
Oh, good point. Now that I think about it, I did overspend by a small amount once, and I remember the bank paid it but charged me a $25 fee so that my account was left at -$26 or whatever. I think my paycheck cleared the next day, and then they refunded the fee when I called and complained.

(I think it's only fraud if you do it intentionally, though.)
Github mirror? It's extremely easy to forget and stop following up on a project that's not on Github!

You might have personal reasons by your current choice, but maybe the project can have shot at success if it's in a more social and high traffic ecosystem.
Indeed, it looks identical to Notion, and with the .so url, I assumed that it was related to Notion, but I don't see anything obviously saying that on the front page. (I didn't look deeply, however.)
You mean evidence like the 100s of hours of unexplainable phenomenon recorded each year (see google search of ufo video 2014). Including that which was release from classified status by an arm of our armed forces which chose to not only investigate, but to classify the investigation.

And for the record, we have more video and imagery of these unexplained phenomenon then we do of the giant squid. They, for whatever reason, just dont leave bodies floating up on the beaches.
Our Bayeux server is written in python, which sits behind our general-purpose realtime server called Pushpin ( https://github.com/fanout/pushpin ). Pushpin is written in a combination of C++ and python.

The Bayeux code itself is not public, but this may change in the future after I make the project more presentable. I'll let you know when it's live on our cloud service if you want to try testing your client with it. Should happen in the next day or so, hopefully.
> The consumer isn't responsible for Credit Card fraud

Wrong. In many cases he is responsible.

Scenario #1: 60 days (typically) after the transaction, the customer has no recourse to report fraud. You were browsing your credit card statements and notice a $50 charge 2 months ago that you never authorized? Tough luck.

Scenario #2: When the card was physically present during the transaction, and when a pin code was used, the customer is always (edit: I meant "typically") held responsible unless he can prove he and his authorized users were definitively not present.
$495? Wasn't it just about $350 not too long ago?
For almost everyone on the planet the second is easier. People are bad at security.
Moreover, you'll stumble across them as you search for your own answers.
Stealth is false marketing. Stealth planes are visible on long wave length radar frequencies. Secondly the planes are plain in sight visible on imaging satellites unless they fly below the clouds if there are any. Given you have enough computational power you will create an imaging algorithm to detect them from satellite images. De-cloak.
We use a linear model with binary extension of several properties of a listing to learn the current value of different listings as it is on the market.

We combine this daily with an analysis of how much hosts and hotels are already increasing their prices and whether they book or not to see how much our learned base price should be increased for the Super Bowl.

The dataset is based on publicly available data from Airbnb and Homeaway.
I think this argument is silly in the context of the American southwest, but may very well make a lot of sense for the goddamn moon.
In my experience this goes way beyond productivity. I know you have clients and projects and feature requests and bugs to fix and meetings to attend, but how about that backup scheme for that new project, the one that was bumped to "post-golive"? Or the lack of free disk space monitoring? Or that everything for these three services run as root and use someone's primary AWS keys?

In software dev or ops, these are the things in my mind that sit in the gulf between "producing" and "improving". Actually, they sit on the other side of improvement, because given a free hour, I'd rather spend it learning something than fixing a logging service.
Or apply for a job with Bitcoin startup - it won't count against you then!
Thanks for the comment :)

> I wonder if these folks know how valued they are to some of us?

That's partly why I wanted to write the article - as a thank you to all the people in the scene.

That's indeed true. My sister lives in Whitehorse, and she says that pretty much everyone who lives there is an outdoor enthusiast. If you aren't, you just won't fit in.
Its just that it's the lowest automatic option. If the choices were 10, 20, and 30 10 would probably be the most selected option.

In fact, ~10% seems to be the most punched in option.
Huh, I just realized I inherited a JS codebase from him in a previous job. The code was ingenious, perhaps too ingenious to maintain.
Explicit permission to take things from it is a license, even if potentially an undesirably ambiguous one.
Fair enough. I agree that it's at best lazy rhetorical shorthand here and I can see why it could be grating.
I disagree that this approach is any better than your standard static html and nginx. In an emergency situation I would want to reduce the footprint for error and keep everything as simple as possible. A CMS is totally overkill for this. There is nothing wrong with having a developer write HTML based on a word document given to them. If it were a true emergency that developer resource would be dedicated to doing this. Hell Word can export documents to HTML anyway so that is half the battle already won. This article just seems gimmicky to me.
And puppeteers
I don't use any "Windows App Store Apps" if that's what you mean by UWP apps (I did a lot of Windows desktop dev on WinForms, then some on WPF, but haven't kept up since then).

But everything I use seems to work just fine on Windows 10 across multiple monitors - Office, Visual Studio, Rider and a whole host of small applications (many old) that I doubt did anything specific to enable high DPI support.
Quick thought. If software wanted to, could they not, today, bypass your DNS resolvers anyways? Choosing to use DoH on software where you control the DNS resolution seems like an unambiguous win. FWIW, the Chromium implementation of DoH upgrading only upgrades you to DoH if your configured DNS provider is known to support it via a hardcoded list.

In theory, you could have Pihole resolve using a DoH resolver and your devices resolve using Pihole and have the best of everything.

(Disclaimer: Google employee, not working on ads or Chromium or DNS.)
Depends, as always, on how much your worst case is priced in. Over the last month or two, Lyft is down 70%. The company is not intrinsically worth 70% less than it was the Friday before last. Does that mean it's a good company? Who knows, maybe not. Can it fall more? Sure. Does it have a big cash position to weather this storm? Yeah I mean it's got $3.3B-ish on hand and doesn't have to pay drivers when nobody's taking rides because they're contractors. Just like Uber [1] and their $6B bank account [2]. And Square with their $2B bank account [3]. At this point Square is trading at 7X cash on hand. UBER at 6X cash on hand. That makes them better capitalized than your Wells Fargo savings account with a fractional reserve rate of 10:1.

Plenty of very solid companies are now trading at 30% of what they were a month ago with massive warchests. To say that hasn't priced in a few quarters of negative growth is a bit of a stretch isn't it?

As for indices, well, not all companies stand to get burnt by this downturn. Have you seen the lines at Target and Walmart? As some S&P components go down others go up. That's the raison d'etre of ETFs. Plenty of companies do well as others do poorly.

> The idea that you can simply "buy at the bottom" and make it rich very wrong.

Of course picking the bottom is the hard part but even if you're off by a bit on either side, with a sufficient time horizon, these prices are mouth-watering.

Or should I just wait and buy at the next top? ;) I'd argue the idea that you can wait for it to recover before investing in hopes you become rich to be very wrong.

Americans have a strong scepticism of prognosticators.

Just look at children stories like chicken little and the boy who cried wolf.

That’s great when prognosticators are wrong: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/157/3791/914.2

Unlike America, China didn’t ignore Paul Erlich and his ilk. They responded by implementing the one child policy.

Originally intended to preserve their resources, they kept it because it aided in industrialization.

And so China is now a major polluter, is stripping away its resources at a massive scale, and about to hit a massive demographic cliff.

And in the process violated human rights on a massive scale.
