This looks great, congrats! For those already using Trading212 in EU / UK, I've built a few tools that try and accomplish a similar thing using their pie features:

• etf4u (https://github.com/leoncvlt/etf4u) scrapes equities mutual funds and mix and match your custom indexes

• trading212-pie-sync (https://github.com/leoncvlt/trading212-pie-sync) takes the information from the tool above (or ay external source, really) and automatically updates the pie's allocation (which would take a long time if done manually)

No it isn’t because the data will never tell you “why” people are doing something or not doing something. You can guess but you’ll never know why until you a) talk to users and b) watch them use your product. Qualitative research isn’t about statistical significance, it’s about deep insights. 10 user interviews will undercover 100 insights.
Seconded.
I don't really need Linux pre-installed, but when I make a buying decision I would be much more likely to buy a laptop that is (a) guaranteed to be fully compatible with Linux out of the box, and that (b) the manufacturer will honor their warranty no matter which OS I choose to run.

That said, I think offering Linux pre-installed would be very nice as a signaling function to attract technical-minded users.
It’s because your grandfather sacrificed himself so that you can have a better life. One of the most noble thing a person can do to his grandson.

And I personally saw Bitcoin change people from a non-saver to saver. Also I know many poor people who save all the time without access to markets.
Bureaucracy sucks, the usual way is to hire someone who knows how to deal with it (Accountants/Lawyers for company registration etc). And once you're done, you're usually done.

"Ah but in the US is not so complicated" yes but some other things make up for it (and some other things are more complicated in the US - but we usually see the downsides first)

> Sometimes dominant complain culture. Absolute shit quality of housing and public roads

Yes, agree. Insulation is getting better, though of course it's Portugal, it's not getting as cold as a more northern city.
We really don't give a shit about that (though I hear you about raspberry pi, and it's refreshing that you didn't say Rust). We're just trying to have an internet forum that doesn't suck, or at least to stave off collapse for a little longer.

The author only thinks his understanding of Dunning-Kruger is better than average. No, seriously. As others have pointed out, the meme is not that actual ability and self-assessment are negatively correlated. It's just that ignorant people don't know how ignorant they are - i.e. that those at the low end of the scale overestimate their position relative to the maximum. That version is very well supported by the graphs the OP cites. He has scratched the iceberg of skepticism and now thinks he's enough of an expert to tell the rest of us that we're Doing It Wrong.
If you look at my post history I strive (or at least I used to) to post content that might be relevant to the HN crowd. Admittedly, I submitted this topic out of sheer frustration for the cultural suicide that's going on across the pond. It's not about this specific tweet per se, but the normalization of this teacher's attitude is a worrying trend and imho worthy of discussion.
Some of the performance changes for handling graphics should help with battery life since they will be more efficient in using the CPU and GPU. Some of the Android engineers covered this at I/O 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQZFaec9NpA
Mosh is nice, but I always feel wary about opening a big port range for it. Had it on my todo list for ages to work out a way of temporarily opening the port range for an IP that makes a successful SSH login.
This would be a solid assumption to presume.

edit: I read your reply and I'm going to stop engaging right here. Sometimes intuition is worth listening to.
Main thing I'd say characterizes the shitty job is that it leads to nowhere. People like to say that it builds character, especially if they dug themselves out, but it doesn't. I also cleaned toilets and bussed tables as a kid, and I can tell you unequivocally it did nothing to get me to where I am today:

- I had less time to do things I actually wanted to do, like studying.

- Didn't make me better at coding, how could it?

- It didn't teach me anything about finance, how could it?

- Didn't make me better at "time management" and other pseudoskills. Yes they are pseudoskills, people throw them in the conversation to pretend you are getting something.

You know what makes people good at their job? Doing their job. This is why you run into the people he mentions, they are ok at some other thing but they are spending their time doing a shitty job instead. They are running to stand still, and then running some more to leap off the treadmill. This is also why plenty of not-particularly-bright kids grow up to grab the prestigious jobs. They didn't have to do shitty work for no pay, they used their comfy middle class upbringing to connect with the right entry-level roles, and took it from there.

So then you get people who somehow manage to do it. They work at McDonald's flipping burgers during the day, and then they somehow learn how to reverse a linked list at night, and lo and behold it pays off and they get a job at Google. Everyone points at them as says "look, it can be done".

Don't be fooled. If you do two jobs (flipping burgers and learning to code) you are putting everything on the line in for a better future. If you get run over by a car, you will be lying on your deathbed thinking "why didn't I go out with my friends instead of memorizing quicksort". If you make it, think of all the disillusioned people who gave up whatever little free time they had for a dream that almost never comes true.

This is of course if you think of jobs as a pure money thing. If you like doing algo stuff (I like it a lot somehow), maybe you don't see it as a second job and you actually get some kind of satisfaction from it, which is what I'd hope for most people.

But for shitty jobs, most people simply do not think they are satisfying. They are exactly what we should work on automating out of existence.
Yes, it's a clever workaround. And requires no remote server.

I still prefer VPNs and Tor, but hey.
True, but an F1 car is on another level with 900+ hp (including ERS) at 740 kg with driver but not fuel.
Thank for reporting this, I have to admit that I havn't test it under TLS ehouth. I will fix it ASAP.
It’s not about about being cool or making a hip new website. The point is that people won’t choose to pay for services when free ones exist. It requires a monetary obligation in the form of taxes. Countries don’t function because everyone decides they’d like to pay for the infrastructure that benefits everyone. They function because that money is collected in the form of taxes.
Consider a fresh user installs nodejs, runs npm install <someproject>, runs npm run start. Immediately they get a problem.

Doesn't look great for node and it shouldn't be their problem.

More like "We landed on the moon but sometimes the door won't open"
That sounds interesting - I'll have a read.
In any case, Tim Berners-Lee wasn't an amateur. He was a computer scientist who had experience with information systems before creating the Web. But his design was clever AND simple and accessible to use for amateurs.

If I remember the context of the "created by amateurs" quote, it was really Alan Kay complaining that the web wasn't designed by OO principles. He wanted the web to consist of objects encapsulating their own presentation logic, rater than document in declarative languages. So basically something like Java applets instead of web pages.

While OO is great for software design, I believe declarative documents have proven to be much better as a foundation for a decentralized information system. Think about how to implement Google, accessibility, readability.com and so on in a web of encapsulated objects. And it is not by accident that TBL chose declarative languages over objects, he actually though about it: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/leastPower-2006-01-23.html

This is an example of the contextual insight you talk about, and which I believe Kay lacks in this case.

EDIT: The interview is here: http://www.drdobbs.com/article/print?articleId=240003442&sit... It is not totally clear what he is arguing, but is seems he is suggesting that the only job of the browser should be to execute arbitrary code safely, but any actual features beyond this should be provided by the objects. So the browser should really be a VM or a mini-operating system executing object code in a safe sandbox. This seem to be the philosophically opposite of TBL's principle of least power.

Honestly, it seems like Kay is ranting a lot in the interview. When something like the web is not designed the way he would have done it, the only reason he can imagine is that the designers must have been ignorant amateurs.
I'm quite curious, why document.write is so hard to implement compared to other methods ? Is it not working a bit like innerHTML ?
I doubt the converter would work accurately beyond the salary bellcurve.
ASN.1 does not map well to any meaningful and generic in-memory representation (I tried to do that in dfsch's BER/DER module and failed spectacularly), while JSON does, but modifing BER to be efficient json-like representation is not that complex, basic idea is to large extent similar. And as for efficiency and ease of use, if you want efficient dataformat with fixed schema, XDR is certainly better than PER (and free of ASN.1's design-by-comitee nonsense)
A study of students, who basically have to get up early isn't exactly that applicable to all walks of life. It's also a very broad categorization. For students, does it mean that you spend a longer period of time before studying/lectures begin? Which would also work if you get up at noon, but don't start work until two or three…

Also, is the total amount of preparation the same for all those students? Let's say you're prone to partying, and thus it isn't just that you get up late, it's also quite likely that you didn't spend too much time on your studies in the evening.

Never mind that this might just be a correlation, and being proactive/productive and getting up early follow from the same disposition, not that one is the cause of the other.

Quoting Hemingway and an "energy management guru" doesn't exactly make this much better.

Why are we so prone to self-help advice articles here? Fear of failure with startups? Age?
There are cases when it makes sense to use static typing or, at least, to stick to certain types for input and output.

In my experience however, those cases are not many and doing it when you don't have to creates unneeded complexity.
May be you need a coding buddy. Sharing the ideas and working together on a project always gives me strong motivational boosts. Plus having to explain ideas to others helps in finding flaws.
It's relatively easy to read and doesn't punish you with too many horrible compile errors; kids get impatient with semi colons very quickly.

It generally does what it says it does, particularly when you're just starting and not touching on any of the more advanced features.

It's a real language and you can point to a lot of apps using it and people who've made lots of money doing so. Kids are smart enough to get irritated if you just hand them something that isn't a real thing. My little cousin is mercenary enough that the mention of this being used in a large number of new things that made lots of money was really exciting to him.

They can move onto building an interactive website relatively soon. Lots of the PHP kids learned PHP because of general coolness of doing a website they could share with their friends that was a little bit interactive. Hopefully you agree that Ruby is a better language than PHP.

There seems to be a proportionally higher number of people in the Ruby community who are into helping kids learn to program.
"In my country, we're polite, bitch."
Is this really due to impatience though? You've picked the cream of the crop to make your point, but arguably I'd say these guys were visionaries that stuck to their guns (skated to where the puck was going) more than they were impatient. If anything, they were very patient to let the world catch up to their ideas.
Not really. All those phrases imply that the recipient should take action (except for "what goes around comes around"). "Today you, tomorrow me" means "Today I helped you, tomorrow I might need your help, so you don't need to repay me", but not exactly in a "what goes around comes around" way (it doesn't imply certainty or karma).

Basically, the equivalent is probably "it could have been me in your place", I guess.
It's not really a translation of karma, nor is it a translation of the Golden Rule. It does mean "I do this in the hopes that you would do it for me if I were in your place", but not in a "$deity will reward you if you do this". Basically, it's the spirit, rather than the letter, of the Golden Rule.

We try not to do that on reddit either. We also try to refrain from "this isn't Digg".
Do you consider organ transplants to not be "cures" of any disease? I've yet to hear of even a potential method for growing vital organs from scratch, and even the methods using donor cells seem to lack FDA approval.

If you do believe that organ transplants can cure a disease, then there must be some threshold of donor commonness that divides organ transplants and this treatment. Where might that line fall?
So the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board is a corrupt and inept body? I must have missed that...

It is a hosted reddit install. It should be more focused than /r/startups. In particular, the focus is startup tips, which to us means something related to tech startups that provides actionable advice or useful insight to their founders. It's not news.

I'd really eventually like it to be more of a community with about 50% self/ask hn type posts. So feel free to share results, ask for feedback/advice etc.
Thanks! Comments like this make blogging even more worthwhile.

And go for it. There's no better way to learn CS.
Perhaps; perhaps not. There's many situations it would be worthwhile.

- They want to kill us just because

- They have already occupied virtually everywhere else, and want more (our) space

- We are in the way of their wave of expansion, and they don't care (and are set to steam-roller over us)

- Earth or nearby planets are valuable to both them and us, and equivalents are too far away (nobody says FTL travel is possible)

There have been plenty of wars (not every single one, but plenty) here on Earth already that demonstrate that.
I agree for the most part, but as the "only" problem, it's a seriously gigantic one. CSS is cool but this limitation is so frustrating, especially once your style sheets start getting really big.
"but it doesn't put you in a category where you can't relate to other people about these issues."

I hope that it I didn't imply that it did.
Thanks for the response.

Man cheer up a bit - it's a matter of outlook IMHO.

Right. What I described is my reality, not how I feel day-to-day. That said, right now it still isn't worth it.

Also, non-paid vacation is paid for by the long hours you put in, and necessary for you to continue doing the long hours. Finally, can you outsource some of the mindless work?

I make only enough to cover living expenses, so vacation and outsourcing both would require debt.

Also, can your significant other help with some things?

No significant other. I thought you were trying to cheer me up! ;)
Do you mean 'could it be artificial'? Because 'intelligent design' is often used as a shorthand for the idea that the universe was created by a God, especially the Christian one, but I don't get the sense that your question is religiously motivated.
I was disappointed that Spring decided to move away from the groovy config option. I thought of all the different configuration options that one looked the most elegant. I really dislike the current "Java" config fad they are going through. It looks like Java, but it's not really Java, it's a DSL for Spring configuration.
I suppose my point was that there is no shortage of information on the method either. For example, searching for "how to measure distance from camera" yields many results detailing the same method. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, it's a well written post, just nothing terribly interesting or new.
My expected enjoyment per time invested in a magazine is just too low. Even if you gave me a magazine for FREE.

I enjoy fictional and non-fictional movies and television more. I enjoy video games more, too. And reading books. They're just all better uses of my time.
the $20bn is a floor, not a ceiling. This entire regulatory political process is just getting warmed up.
I have a feeling that some old bank software has fixed size fields and that's we get ridiculous maximum lengths on bank passwords.
That's truly exciting. I wonder how well it'd run on Altera Nios 2 with, say, 16 kB of RAM. If Nim works well for that case, I'll start to use it yesterday!
"Democracy" at work. Had this happened in 2011-2012 in some forsaken Middle-East country all the mainstream media would have cried "wolf".

Also, I cannot understand brandishing those people that entered the Capitol as "terrorists", again this coming from the mainstream media. I think the exact same speech was made by the Chinese communist media in regards to the Hong Kong protesters who had occupied the territory's legislative chamber.
We can deal with that issue when we get there.
> I thought Signal was open source, and the distributed binaries matched the source

This is sort of true. The source is published and you can build your own binary. But given that you can't distribute Signal outside of official stores and can't pin the version in those official stores (unless you turn off updates on your phone entirely), it's not actually practical to run an audited version, yet alone to make your own changes to the code.

> and that is was allowed to run your own servers. Are the servers even open source?

EDIT: apparently there is now (purported) server source available, not that that means much when there's no way to even know which code a given server is running, yet alone run a server with different code. They claim that their E2E encryption means control of their servers doesn't matter, but their protocol analyses doesn't actually think about what an attacker might be able to do at the server level, IME.

> Are there lirerature regarding the technical/conceptional bits Element/Matrix? What is the tradeoff there?

It uses either the same ratchet protocol as Signal or a very similar one. E2E for group chats is more complicated but I don't think you're giving up anything.
The Mac mini M1 can drive two independent screens - one over HDMI, one over USB C. The limitation seems to be number of screen outputs, and a laptop has one already built in, hence only 1 external.
> On the other hand, today's events are almost opposite. It's been driven/lead by senior members of government. Using lies and propaganda, conditioning a group of citizen sympathizers over a long period of time to distrust media, distrust opposing "facts" or anyone that disagrees with Trumps agenda. Weaponize this group of people to seize power and considerably fracture our democracy. It's the least patriotic and perhaps treasonous thing I could ever imagine. But they think they are the patriots. It's just so backwards to me.

This is correct to a degree but it is debunked by the President's plain language in his speech prior to the violence at the Capitol where he asked the crowd to "peacefully and patriotically" protest at the Capitol.

It becomes difficult to make the accusation that the violence is incited when it is very explicitly said that the protest should be peaceful.

During the nomination of Justice Kavanaugh, members of Congress were confronted in elevators and hallways of the Capitol building by protesters. These protests were also based on unproven accusations and the people were weaponized to seize power as a ploy because they did not have the requisite votes as per the constitutional process. Intimidation and invasion of the building was seen very differently when it came to a lifelong appointment of a Supreme Court justice.

I would argue that the politicians from both parties share blame in allowing the discourse to escalate like this. To condemn only one party for it is not helpful at all.
I think that made sense to be honest; like it or not, Trump is the elected president, and denying the democratically elected president of your country access to your platform is quite the step. I mean, I sure don't like the entire situation as such, but in the same position, I probably would have done something similar.
Twitter intentionally did it. They benefit from controversy since more people use the platform to tweet about events and go to the platform to read about the events. Gotta get those clicks.
Open source software needs support. They could use the old Cygnus model and have people who are paid well to fix everything the DoD needs fixed. The general in charge of the contract could move there on retirement.
is this your first time experiencing racism first hand? Them chinese immigrants tend to work harder than most locals, must have been hard to keep up.

It is just astounding to me what has happened to NYT over the past 5 years. They used to be a reliable source of good information and widely regarded as the paper of record. Now they have obliterated their own credibility by getting involved in a ridiculous, dangerous culture war.

You can find an Own Cloud or a Next Cloud host in your country or whatever, and use that. That gives you calendar and contact sync, at least.
I think the public should be challenging assumptions and questioning claims.

Advocating for an “editor” aka “gatekeeper” is a form of elitism in that it assumes an editor will be “better” at challenging assumptions than the public at large.

While you may find many instances where that is true, it’s not good for public discourse to be boxed into a frame of discourse decided by the ivory tower types.

My current financial support for Glenn has nothing to do with him. It has to do with the funding model of journalism. He’s just the first one I came across to try it, so I’m supportive.
Excellent remark. The report card on globalization thus far is a hollowed out economy in the west with rent-seeking and the profits of globalization floating around in financial assets in a sterile fashion.

Even the new conservatives are waking up to this. It's far better that the west employ these new protectionist approaches and reindustrialize their countries. China isn't just producing cheap Hasbro toys. They are increasingly moving up the value chain while America moves down and its people are employed in increasingly low productivity jobs. Our old elite sold us out.

Thankfully some of the elite have figured this out. The rest are still reading their 2000s-era textbook telling them some abstract idea of globalization is great. No thank you. That's how you get a worse Trump.
