Ask HN: How much and How do you read?
Hi All, I was wondering that there is huge content online day by day for new things. You get all the long articles. I do not get so much time to read all. Most of time I am not able to completely understand the article.
It might help to others also So I just want to know:

1) How much you read per day or what are your reading habbits?

2) Most Important: If you not able to understand some article do you find dig them or just ignore the words or articles not able to understand? or what you do to understand like keep dictionary or search google?

3) How you read? Do you read continuously or there is some good hack?

Please give the advice. Thanks
Ok. So if I approach poor women to have sex with me for money (let's say 20 bock) then I'm good and moral person because I offer them some relief from their hardships and if it wasn't beneficial for them then they'd refuse?
Point him to "Lessons Learned in Software Testing" by Bach, Kaner and Pettichord: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0471081124

Also, "manual testing" is a slightly unfortunate monicker for the activity we are discussing. It is bound to generate some degree of incomprehension or even hostility on the part of some people, for no foreseeable benefit. "Testing" will do. It is something you do with your head primarily, your hands being involved to pretty much the same degree that they are in programming (and we don't usually call that "manual programming").

I'm a student, and I've been unfortunate enough to experience stress first hand. Not just "Ohh, I'm so busy"-stress, but real stress. The essence of the quote is that if something is not right, it's because you did something wrong. At least that's how I read it. Most of the time during my period with stress, those were the thoughts that ruined me the most. I felt lost in my education and as a result, I blamed myself for not doing "more". I think it's a dangerous mindset to live by, as there are so many things in the world you have absolutely no control over. Not everything is fair, and if you blame yourself for your own or others failures and mistakes all the time, you will most likely run yourself down very fast. Unfortunately, I see this mindset a lot. As a student, you're the only one to blame for your failures - or so it seems in the public debate (at least where I am from). Attempting to help is noble, but in no way would I recommend anyone to try to take the problems of the world they live in on their own shoulders.

TL;DR: You can't control everything. Forcing yourself into a mindset where you think you do will be your ruin.
I do, it's a very small expenditure of time and effort even if the probability of my vote making a difference is very small considering we live in a two party system with... conveniently... set electoral boundaries.
Despite qualifying for the subsequent 1972 Olympics 13 times, Peter Norman was denied the ability to represent Australia. Despite an apology in 2012 from the Federal Parliament, the Australian Olympic committee still denies any wrongdoing.

"letting Germans bleed out across Europe"

How much exactly did they "bleed" before starting war with the USSR? AFAIK they mostly took countries intact with low to none losses.
No, you can interpret from that I didn't spot a notification coming through of a reply. This isn't reddit, there's no reason to be so confrontational.

You could have used the last three days to try downloading any one of many file managers on the play store and seeing if they did what you wanted.

The abstract clearly points out that the observed (negative) effect is stronger for low performers and women.

Furthermore, Yegge's rant is a bit short on actual facts that would show possible effects. For example, did his career changes happen due to increased pot consumption at the time? Did he abandon his PhD plans because of it? Did he even smoke before high school (at the age of 11)? We don't know.
Would be cool to start the report with a tldr, containing just the essence of the incident, sth like

"dev needed to update index and at time .. submitted two tickets for new ibdex creation and old index removal. at time .. Op processed the removal ticket first which caused outage in service .. It was alerted at time .. and on-call op identified it at time .. He proceeded to ...

Just for people who want to know what's happened but dont care for details.
A warning about parsing zone files... the grammar is deceptively tricky.

While TLD registries will probably provide you with files in a sane subset[0] of that specified in RFC 1035, there are a number of things that will NOT work in general:

- Splitting the file in to lines (paren-blocks and quoted strings can span lines, strings can contain ';' etc).

- Splitting the file on whitespace (it's significant in column 1 and inside strings)

- Applying a regex (you'll need lookahead for conditional matching and it'll get ugly fast)

Don't go down the road of assuming it's a simple delimited file.

The difference here is that French Quebecers didn't arrive to Canada at that point. They were already there, and then Britain took control. In these cases we have 3 historical options: genocide, cultural assimilation or a bi-cultural territory. I personally think the third option is the the one creating more richness even if has a lot of friction.
> continental Europe which requires tons of affidavits, ceremonial seals, additional paperwork, etc.

Like what and like where, specifically? (Dutch here, can't really confirm or come up with examples that'd match that).

> All of the above anglo-saxon countries are multicultural. Continental Europe has been mostly homogeneous

The generalisations are too broad, putting say France in the same category as Poland makes no sense. Canada/US/Australia are of course in a diversity category of their own as de facto lands of immigrants (although that overstates diversity, I think. Dutch and British heritage in Canada is a pretty meaningless difference nowadays as a proxy of heterogeneity of society), but I feel GB's diversity is pretty similar to various European countries. It's hard to make exact comparisons due to different data points. It seems outside of the anglo-saxon world, most governments (urged by sociologists) have let go of defining demographics in terms of 'race' (whatever that means) or skin color, but rather based on ethnicity or heritage. So in GB you get things like white and black and asian (with the latter data often split into India/Pakistani) and in the Netherlands or France you'll get things like 'parents both French born, one parent foreign born, parents both foreign born', with all kinds of splits for nationality. It's hard to compare but I feel GB's multiculturalism is pretty similar to say France or the Netherlands just to take an example.

Here's what I read on Wikipedia:

>Despite Norman running qualifying times for the 100 m five times and 200 m 13 times during 1971-72, the Australian Olympic track team did not send him, or any other male sprinters, to the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, the first modern Olympics since 1896 where no Australian sprinters participated.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Norman)

Did no one represent Australia in the events he would've participated in?
The authors summarise their disagreement with your 1 in TFA.

Despite frequent assertions starting in the 1970s of fundamental “limits to growth,” there is still remarkably little evidence that human population and economic expansion will outstrip the capacity to grow food or procure critical material resources in the foreseeable future.

To unionize you need to have time to interact with your co-workers. You have to convince everyone that unions are not evil. And I'm not even sure unions are legal in the US any more. In the article they feature UPS as an example, yet UPS _has_ a union - the Teamsters. Does it do anything except feed off of the workers it is suppose to represent? I'm not sure. I was in a union once and it was worthless and expensive. We need something else with a new name that actually does work.

It doesn't just have smooth scrolling, it's some kind of super slowly deaccelerating scroll, that makes it impossible to go to any specific place in the page.
The equivalent Western stereotype is probably the neckbeard. It's prevalent enough to have shown up in mainstream media, e.g. South Park's Make Love, Not Warcraft.
In the nineties, and and up to about ten years ago, I would hear Doctors mention "chemical imbalance".

Today, I couldn't imagine a medical doctor claiming a person/patient has a chemical imbalance. The truth is they just don't know what causes mental illness, and most mental disabilities.

For awhile, it looked like they could increase dopamine, decrease serotonin, blah, blah, etc. and they were finally getting a handle on these complicated psychological problems.

Well, they were wrong with their chemical imbalance theories, and they are back to speculation--wild speculation in most cases. Out of all the medical specialties, Psychiarty has not made much progress from the 50's. At least they aren't carring around ice picks and severing the frontal lobes though.
Ask HN: Should I quit my startup?
I'm the co-founder of a startup that currently makes +- 3k MRR.
We've originally been 2 technical guys building our first startup
together and making a lot of mistakes down the road.

We've been working full time for 2 years now and I'm pretty impressed by
what we've accomplished and learned even though the money is not there yet.

4 months ago, we convinced another guy to step-in with us to be the CEO.
He has a background in business and marketing.

My relation with him has been quite difficult as we share different values
and vision. On top of that, I can safely say that I'm feeling more and more
burnt out and unmotivated since he joined.

Now that we're three, disagreements are much more frequent and are usually resolved
through "politics" (2 agree, 1 disagrees).

My main issue is that I can't seem to trust the new CEO as much as I trust my
original co-founder. I feel that in a year or two when the balance of power shifts,
he would not hesitate to get rid of me if there's a big disagreement between us.

I voiced my concerns with my first co-founder, but he is very hesitant to get rid
of the CEO as he fills a very important gap in the business and I think he is right.

I see two possible scenario to the state I'm in right now:

1- I'm afraid to lose power within the company and that things
aren't going my way as much as I want to.

2- My gut feeling is right and I should not continue working with someone
I have a hard time trusting just for the sake of building a successful startup.

Questions, advices or comments are more than welcome.

One thing that jumps at me in this study is the high risk of investigating two different populations with different characteristics. Foreign students are more likely to be high achievers (and high-achieving women), quantitative degrees are also in higher demand from foreigners and more likely to be in English. If you are Dutch you can pick whatever university/field you want and they will admit you (exception is medicine); thus there is a higher chance of low-achievers (who drive the results) to be in that part of the sample. I am suspicious of results which are driven by the tail of the distribution and die out in time (when that tail drops out).
I think we are talking about different goals. If the goal of the test is for sheer fun "bug hunting", a more pragmatic approach should indeed be taken. If, as I interpreted it, the "business guy" is going to do some kind of acceptance testing, and you want to be able to perform this test multiple times, you want the tests to be specific and well documented.

In other words: OP, start with telling us what you want to achieve with your manual tests!

But what would you expect that "search" to give you? If you search this library for "to be or not to be", it will give you a page containing the phrase "to be or not to be" preceded and followed by random gibberish.

You could similarly build an analogous music library that you could search for the opening motif of Beethoven's 5th. But the notes surrounding it would also just be random noise; you wouldn't find anything interesting in them.

You don't need a "search" to generate random notes, you can have that more directly by writing a program to do it.

It's the implication of what the rule means. There's a huge difference between "let someone know you're going to be absent" and "ask a founder for permission to not have to come to the office."

road taxes should be done for mileage as that more accurately measures their use and impact of roads. you would of course still keep the other fees associated with vehicles like tag fees and such.

with regards to the article, charging should not be free in public spaces. that alone would cut down on some of the abuse. Electric cars need a very clear and obvious indicator for charge state as well - that is communicated back to the charger and visual to any who walk up. Likely a standard is going to be needed
Completely irrelevant, baiting non-sequitur. Your perception of his company's diversity does not change the validity of his point about having a less diverse pool to hire from.

Few questions for you before any advice can be given

1. Do you have any official documentation over the ownership of startup?

2. If so, how much do you and the other founder each own and what are the vesting periods?

3. Does the CEO have any equity and if so, what is his vesting period?

4. When you voiced your concern with your founder, what else did he say? Did he brush aside your concerns or adequately address them, while saying that keeping the CEO in place is important for the business.
Well, since you know Angular, why not master it? Learn its quirks, how it differs from other frameworks, strengths and weaknesses, it's internals and how it works internally. It's seldom to find someone who can fully explain how a framework works. Keep yourself up to date with its developments, contribute to it.

Or you could master JavaScript instead. Keep yourself with up to date with the upcoming standards, know its quirks, potential uses and even formulate creative uses with the new APIs. Personally, I would go with this as you will be flexible in any environment that runs JS, framework or no framework, browser or some other platform.

Since JS is not just limited to the web, there's a bunch of other fields to explore. Not all are for finding new jobs, but knowing them could add sugar to your portfolio.

- Robotics, there's the Tessel.

- If you're into type-hinted JS, then there's TypeScript.

- Embedding JS in a microcontroller, there's MuJS.

- Programming on mobile, there's PhoneGap.

- Taking that further, where JS is your phone's platform, there's FirefoxOS.

- Into game development, there's a lot of game engines for JS.

- Desktop app development, there's NW.js

> Current regime in Russia has learned the lesson

Why is it a "regime"? Putin was democratically elected and even Western opinion research institutes unequivocally attest that he is supported by 85 to 90 percent of the Russian population.

In US media this is always attributed to "propaganda" while economic successes that might have an influence on Russian votes is completely ignored. For example: Russian GDP rose during Putins years tenfold. Russia reduced its foreign debt down to 23% of GDP and a flat tax of 13% for everyone was introduced. (I live in the EU and I am basically robbed by my government - I pay a hefty 50% tax on top of being forced to charge 20% VAT from my customers)

If these aren't good reasons to vote for someone then I don't know what is. I would vote for ANY party (except radicals), be it left or right that would stimulate GDP growth while reducing my taxes down to 13%.
I know they'll both be true, the first one will return (or I'll use elif). You definitely want the falsy comparison, the second object may not have len defined.

1) Online: I just skim articles to find something that interest me. I am not in "knowledge absorbing" mode at this time. It's mostly just fun/boredom. I try to limit how much time I spend reading online.
Offline: I read for either knowledge (business books, non-fiction) or for pure pleasure (fiction). For both the cases, my kindle has my full attention. No computer, no mobile phone, no distractions.

2) If the word makes no sense, I will check the meaning. However, if I am not completely sure about the meaning, I might still carry on as it helps not to get distracted from reading.

3) I read for 3-4 hours at a time and make sure it is at a time when I have peace and quiet and uninterrupted time.

It's fascinating how much backlash there can be for supporting big social equality shifts. Almost certainly many of the people that caused so much trouble for Peter Norman for his participation in that protest were not malicious, overt racists. Some of them probably didn't think they were racists at all. So much of the time resistance to advancement comes about because people are afraid to rock the boat, because they are distressed about being called out, because they don't want to be forced to choose a side. They just want everything to be better at no personal cost. As has been said, evil triumphs when good men do nothing. It's amazing how much truth there is in that, and how much depth. If you insist on burying the issue every time it comes up or if you insist on "waiting until the right time" you're not helping.

So many people today think that it's fine to just be neutral. And in a way that's alright, it's certainly better than actively participating in hate, but it doesn't make you a good person. A good person takes a stand, a good person makes an effort to make things better, even if it comes at a cost.

Rosetta Code – Solutions to famous problems in many languages
So the suggestion is that because it hasn't been a problem for us already it won't be a problem in the foreseeable future?

We can have an economy based on abundance rather than scarcity, but that's not going to be achieved overnight, the priority for now is to slow down the damage.

To give an example, look at the problem of overfishing. Taking the attitude of the authors you could argue it's not causing us problems in the foreseeable future, but the longer we leave it the worse it gets, and our depletion of fish populations is directly linked to our consumption and growing our economy without addressing this problem is going to cause problems with decreasing the variety of life found in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans.
