Also look at gphoto2 for setting up your camera, on my camera, gphoto2 can do some pretty cool things like set the date and time (much better than doing it on the camera) and even take photos.

Just to add to your post, the reason that there are multiple ways to "center something" is because tables and flexboxes have different behaviors, especially for multiple children, and the third case of arbitrary translation, but all can be made to give the same visual effect here -- the specific case of aligning and valigning a single child to the center of the parent.

In my experience though, the flexbox model is the only example of DWIM in the majority of cases (the only surprise I've had was some situation with an overflowed child inside of a flexbox and requiring an explicit min-height: 0 [1]... something that seemed unintuitive, but modern browsers are beginning to support uniformly).

Agreed! People forget that the majority from both House and Senate voted to authorize the war in Iraq. I've read one of her biographies (she released a few of them), and came away very impressed with her honesty and accomplishments. By the same argument, you should consider almost every president's administration liable for committing war crimes, for example:
Roosevelt -- WWII -- Carpet bombing of almost every city in Japan and Germany.
Truman -- WWII -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Eisenhower -- WWII commander and Korean war.
Kennedy -- Vietnam
Johnson -- Vietnam
Nixon -- Concluded Vietnam
Carter -- MIA -- didn't do anything, attacked by a rabbit.
Reagan -- Some small conflicts that everybody already forgot about.
Clinton -- Bombing of Kosovo
Bush -- Afghanistan and Iraq
Obama -- Drone attacks that have killed thousands including innocents

1) Solicit ideas from everyone. Admit when you don't know the best way. Attempt to achieve consensus. But be steadfast in the face of majority opposition when you're sure you do know better.

2) Insist on always doing the right thing. Never compromise your standards or your ethics [0]. You set the example for everyone else.

3) Treat your customer like an honored guest in your home. Bend over backwards to understand them. But never let them anywhere near your developers. It's not good for anyone, especially the customer.

4) Always take the heat for your team (which is easier if you're the single point of contact for the customer). Always spread credit around.

5) Don't get personally involved with your team [1]. You might have to fire one of them one day. And your praise will mean more. You can socialize with the whole team on occasion, but don't do anything that could ever allow the appearance of favoritism to develop.

6) Trust people to do their work. Give them a chance to succeed... or fail. But the few that repeatedly and consistently fail to live up to expectations or even improve, get rid of.

[0] If anyone ever tells you "we might as well do this unethical thing, because the customer will just get someone else to do it," your reply should be, "well then, it doesn't have to be me" and walk away. I have done it twice now and have regretted neither time.

[1] I would like to think this goes without saying, but NEVER EVER EVER make sexual or romantic advances towards anyone under you. It is extremely unethical. If there is any chance of something happening, wait until you're no longer on the same team. Best to wait for them to make the first move, too, if you're still at a higher authority level after the team change.
Heh, I've been using flask tempting to make some html forms for exploring large datasets. Turns out when you have 6000 terms that show up in 6 different UI elements putting those in as raw html results in a 13mb file that compresses down to 520kb. Pretty awful use case for forms. I'm pretty prejudiced against JavaScript, but having seen this I now deeply appreciate being able to send something other than raw html.

Were you trying to run OwnCloud on your Odroid (Neat looking device BTW, I might have to try that out)?

I tried running that on a 20 dollar/month VPS from Linode, and it seems to work/perform great.

This article is internally contradictory. First, the article claims consumption will go up:

No longer will poor Americans have to choose between heating oil and food, between medicine and shoes for their children.

Then it claims investment will go up:

Also, demand increases — giving firms reason to expand production and hire new workers.

Firms may have reason to expand production, but the resources needed to expand production are instead being consumed. Rather than building a factory, workers are making shoes for poor children.

(At least the ones who didn't tell their boss to "take this job and shove it" - a direct quote from the article. That's just a deadweight loss the article ignores for no apparent reason.)

I really wish someone would write an article about BI that was more than just clueless pop Keynesianism - "Demand Good, Investment Bad, Free Lunch for All."

I don't know either but it seems like yet another way of doing inflation. You can infuse money various ways and to various sectors of the economy. Quantitative easing, playing with interest rates, funneling 401K into stock indexes gives it to the rich. And prices for what they buy or where they live go up. The expectation is more money moves around, doing something useful. BIG should do the same for consumer goods and poor areas, increasing prices and maybe increasing economic activity.
It's a description of what is already happening. But even the first step on that allegedly fallacious slope is an unacceptable one, so that's kind of moot.
Passwords, as we know them in the form of computer passwords, are of course much more recent, usually credited to Fernando J. Corbató for use in the Compatible Time-Sharing System in the early 60s. Their semantics are quite different from having to say "swordfish" to a guard behind a door.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with them. There are people who propose we generate key pairs for every newborn. It is, however, delusional to believe that the same governments which struggle with flat documentation will then turn around to properly do PKI.
That second report is fascinating. One might hope that even amateur pilots would know power curve characteristics at high altitude, and the flight team's "gosh we're saving a lot of fuel" comments on the CVR inspire a sort of grim amusement, but I wonder whether the incident might actually have saved lives in the long run.

If we're going to fly budget carriers like Pinnacle, those carriers are going to employ inexperienced flight crews and attempt to make up it up with training, simulation, and rules. This misadventure identified numerous shortfalls in those. I doubt anyone flying today's Endeavor Air ignores so many stick shakes, uses the same stall procedure at all altitudes, ignores airspeed, hasn't heard of "core lock", or lies so blatantly to ATC in potential emergency situations. I can understand why the report soft-pedaled the training gaps, because after all they didn't need to give the aircrew's survivors any more leverage in the inevitable lawsuit, but I'd expect training to improve anyway.

Is it common practice for pilots at budget airlines to read accident reports like this?

The explanation is often that it stimulates the economy, but really, is war effective at fixing the economy because it just acts as a giant reset button?

A leader ordering murder is both a murderer and someone ordering murderer. Someone fulfilling that order is a murderer.

Fallacy, eh? Remember when the DOJ had a secret interpretation[1] of Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act: A federal court and even the author of the Patriot Act itself have revealed that the meaning of “tangible things” was not quite as the NSA had interpreted it, and the massive data collection was not the purposed of the provision[2]

There's some amount of zen to it. Your job is no longer to be the best coder yourself, it's to make everyone else the best coders they can be. I don't have kids yet, but I can imagine some similarities.

Some libertarians support the Basic Income Guarantee only if our only choice is between our current system and abolishing it for the Basic Income Guarantee.

I can't speak for all libertarianism, but generally speaking libertarians do not support federal government welfare systems, for the following reasons:

- They usurp the role of private welfare, or even local community run welfare, where you know who the money is going to and whether or not they're abusing it

- "Top down" social programs only last as long as you have more producing than non-producing (or in our case, as long as you can borrow money to pay for it). They lead to financial ruin and in the long run will cause disaster for the generation holding the bag.

- They increase the amount of force and coercion; suddenly using welfare as a weapon, the left can increase the size of government, the right can increase the size of the military (I do not differentiate between Veterans welfare from the VA or civilian welfare).

- They take money from those that produce and give it to those that do not

And I haven't even gotten into the economic issues with a basic income guarantee.

You notice that whenever the government gets involved in an industry, those costs immediately go up? The government literally gives away money every year (and even guarantees loans without even asking what your loan is for), and the cost of college keeps rising and rising. This is classic inflation.

What do you think will happen to the cost of goods if we are suddenly printing money simply to give to every last human being on this continent? If you don't expect prices to rise, you haven't been paying attention to either healthcare or education.

1) Learn as much about the people on your team as you can. That can be sometimes hard while at work, so I end up going out to lunch with them or occasionally grab a beer afterwards.

2) While at lunch or after work, my team and I end up talking about random stuff, but it pays off when you can sense if someone is having a bad day/week or is stuck on a particular issue. Also helps to build mutual trust with your team and keeps the communication lines more open.

3) It's hard to sometimes tell how well you're doing as a technical lead, but one way I do it is by how often people come to me for help to things that can't easily be Googled. If developers are seeking out your help, they trust you and consider you reliable source of help.

4) If it comes down to doing more work or helping your team. Always pick your team. Helping them will likely be more productive overall than any amount of additional work you take on yourself.

5) Every developer is different. Recognize that when communicating with them and approach each differently. A true tech lead isn't a managing position, it's a mentoring/leadership role while still being a developer.

6) Be concise. Your team needs help, but they have work to do. Save the long explanations for later. That doesn't mean you should avoid the "why" in your responses, just don't make your answers a monologue.

7) If asked by a team member why you think a particular approach or solution is correct, give them an explanation. I always feel if I can't explain a particular subject, then I don't really know it that well and may be incorrect.

8) You don't always have to be correct. Admitting you aren't when you can't explain something reflects better than all other responses you could give your team.

9) Making yourself available to your team for assistance is also a must as already mentioned. Everyone communicates differently, so adjust to your team as much as possible.

10) Don't deter someone outright from pursuing a potential solution, even if you're pretty certain it won't work. Instead saying no, apply some rubber duck debugging[1] and talk them through their idea aloud. If all goes well, they'll either realize it's not feasible and learn the value of communication or they'll convince you that it will likely work. If they win me over, I'll try to help them devise a way to small way to test their idea further.

I had cable for one year after college (U-Verse had just come to my city and it was actually cheaper to get cable + internet than just internet for the first year), then cancelled. Only reason I have it now is that my roommate is locked into a contract for a few more months (cancellation fee is greater than just playing out the string, and there are some small convenience benefits, particularly for sports). However, we'll be cutting that cord in December for good. I've had a Mohu Leaf, Roku, and a Chromecast for 3 years (OTA, apps, mirroring), and to be honest, the only things missing for me are Pac-12 Network and TNT (which only matters for select NBA games, anyway). Now that SlingTV offers TNT, Pac-12 Network is really the only thing I'm aware of that isn't legally available without cable.

No, this is what happens when multiple competitors have to agree on a complex evolving standard. Result: they all drag their feet one way or the other, each release breaks all sorts of stuff, and so on.

That's because interoperability with competitors is NOBODY'S PRIORITY when all actors are well-established (the youngest browser engine is khtml/webkit, started in 1998; seen any new engine recently? Didn't think so.). In fact, the largest the market-share, the greater the incentive to add more incompatibilities in order to keep your lock-in as strong as possible.

So yeah, CSS can be maddening, and in many ways it's not entirely succeeded (you mention mobile, that was quite a failure), but it wasn't because of problems with the standard itself, or at least not entirely.
I actually think this is a confusing change. Before I read this comment, I read the first article as linked, which ends abruptly and I was left a bit unsatisfied. (I ignored everything after the article, which I always do on news articles, like a regular person.) The page layout doesn't really make it clear that there is a higher level until you get to the end and scroll past the comments.

Plus, the article linked is titled "The Assassination Complex" not "The Drone Papers", like the original link and the current title of the HN Story.

Plus, the initial image of Obama and Bush hugging in scary black and white makes me think that this is more of a hit piece on Obama, which is not exactly accurate.

Also, the first article does not really introduce the series very well.

It's hard for me as well, but as I've lead more teams I've learned how to delegate more. It's okay to delegate hard tasks to more advanced members of your team, if it leaves you open for more questions and the ability to support others. As far as the client is concerned, I'm the representative for all of the backend work that's been done, so according to them it is I who take ownership for the whole thing. Therefore, the best thing for me to do is ensure that my team who is doing the actual coding work is as supported as they can possibly be, so they can get the most work done in the shortest time frame.

I've had my Mohu Leaf for 3 years. In general, it's as good or better than cable or streaming.

I've grown increasingly leery of any story that relies on the anecdotes of three or four people/couples. I thought they'd died out in recent years because of how easily journalists could abuse the format.

This story relies on the anecdotes of one couple. Who apparently got convicted of taking down the county's phone lines. If they're real, they're very much an extreme.

Rather than reinforcing the narrative his entire story relies on them and I now distrust everything else he's said.
