@mikekchar thanks for the explanation. Can't seem to reply to you directly so replying here.

If you see this in the light of the rest of the world they seem to be leading. But that's not the only measure. There have been discussions going on on this forever. It took them a really long time to formulate a policy. BOSS linux has been around for 8 years now but none of the govt divisions supported it. The most frustrating was to see the Income Ta department insisting (maybe not officially but my uncle who is a tax consultant told me they can't use anything else) on Microsoft Word documents to file tax.

So I think all the resources were there but only the policy and political will was lacking.
Any word on the setting and how the alternate timeline reset of the of 2009 movie fits into the cannon?

It seems like there are couple possibilities. 1) They act like the reset in the 2009 movie didn't happen, and the new show is just set sometime after TNG/DS9/Voyager, with the same continuity.

2) Everything is reset and we get a new show set sometime after the reset.

I guess there is this:

In my early 20s I read the 7 Habits by Covey. It recommends the same things as Newport's book: find something that is financially viable and has a sense of mission or purpose. It also discusses finding your passion along with a host of other great advice. It had a profoundly positive effect on my life and happiness.

Since Covey discusses passion and probably falls under Newport's so-called passion movement, does that mean all his advice (based on years of research by a team of people) is wrong?

Newport denounces the word passion, misrepresents the movement by saying it merely promises a "magic job", then goes on to write about the same things promoted by that movement in his own book. I see bait and switch here.

Will the "find your passion" career advice work for everyone? No. Is there worse career advice than this? Absolutely. The title and theme of this post are overblown.

Some folks are defining passion as a sort of dreamy thing, and that dreams are bad. That is vastly over-simplifying it. Finding passion is an intangible goal and is intentionally positive-sounding in order to encourage people to learn more about the smaller steps to achieving their goals. It is a sound byte.

I understand that finding passion is not going to work for everyone. But this notion that it is "terrible career advice" is going too far. Why so much hate?

For those who can find their passion, society benefits greatly. These folks will not hesitate to work harder for something in which they believe. Does it suck for a company to lose a few people who are trying to find their passion? Yes. That's the nature of well paying fields such as IT.

It is better to get accustomed to losing a few good employees than to continue rallying against something that isn't really under your control. After all, from what I understand, during an interview with YC, they are looking more at the people than the ideas. I'm not an applicant but I do respect their selection process. The brick wall breakers they seek are first and foremost passionate.

People who work hard and contribute to the economy but still live paycheck to paycheck due to stagnant wages care.

It's an extraordinary proposition that sifting more money to the top instead of paying people fair wages would somehow help the economy.

Turning your example on the head: what if making the distribution more equal would in the long term give all brackets more money, even the very rich ones? Would you then support distributing the wealth for the common good?

> The report defines wealth as the value of assets including property and stock market investments, but excludes debt.

How does this make the slightest bit of sense? Counting property but ignoring debt is going to exaggerate the wealth of many Americans by an order of magnitude, for example. Beyond that, one person's debt is another person's investment, so you're double counting all that money.

* Principal Javascript Developer: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3fEMEhw5
The studies the military and defence contractors did on it showed the opposite: vast improvements in defect rate, maintenance, and ease of integration. Productivity usually had a small boost due to less debugging. I also used to have an article with a Boeing manager citing a situation like you described and bragging that their choice of Ada (plus good collaboration) made integration painless.

So, the empirical and anecdotal evidence contradicts your claim about Ada. It used specific design decisions to counter specific kinds of real-world issues they encountered. Now, your claims about DOD's big issues and how Ada cant solve those problems are spot on.

Depends on the environment. If I saw a new laptop in my office I'd notice it immediately because we've only got one laptop. A huge office with machines all over the damn place, sure that would probably work just as well.
Your wish is unlikely to come true, as the new series is being written/produced by the head writer of the last two movies.

Yeah except for me, the sheer existence of the crowd makes my brain go "avoid avoid avoid at all costs".

I even go shopping in the middle of the night or very early morning when stores first open. I don't mind a few people but a crowd will make me turn around immediately. It is some kind of primal fear to me that shouts danger.

Apparently a great many people don't seem to have that survival instinct.
Michael Elizabeth Chastain became the maintainer of the Linux ioctl list in the early days because he wanted his mec-replay tool to be able to work, and ioctls were a fly in the ointment — each ioctl has its own idea of how to interpret the arguments, and may end up accessing user memory in some complicated way. Record-and-replay tools like mec-replay, rr, https://github.com/moyix/panda, and http://velvetpulse.com/2012/11/27/scribe-the-deterministic-t... need to be able to intercept that access in order to record the relevant data.

Edit: of course, I should have mentioned that doesn't apply to PANDA — by recording events at a non-system-call interface, PANDA avoids the problems of system-call emulation and instead has the problems of hardware emulation. I imagine PANDA will be a heck of a lot more useful for debugging new bare-metal operating systems. The publisher regrets the error.

Time-travel debugging and deterministic replay is such a fundamentally important feature, and it can expand our capabilities in many different ways that we're only starting to explore. Debugging is just one possible application; consider also exhaustive testing of error conditions, re-execution of optimistic transactions that hit a write conflict, temporal backtracking search over executions, data prevalence (though it doesn't solve the schema upgrade problem), and deterministic building. And remember that the hardest problem for reverse-mode automatic differentiation is figuring out how to "run the program backwards" in order to find the gradient of the output; deterministic replay strategies are directly applicable to this problem and therefore to generalized gradient descent.

It's a shame that mec-replay fell by the wayside 20 years ago. Surely we won't let that happen this time. http://www.boutell.com/lsm/lsmbyid.cgi/001191 https://static.lwn.net/1999/0121/a/mec.html

Much to my surprise, you can still download mec-replay 0.3 from 1995, although you'd probably need to build a Linux 1.3 kernel to run it with: ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/misc/mec-0.3.tar.gz
Speaking of Music Festival crowds, having worked at Love Parade a few years back where there were fatalities due to lack of crowd controls and at Tomorrowland last year, I was really impressed with the Sendrato bracelet that Tomorrowland use (http://sendrato.com/ ) which can be potentially used to determine densities of crowds in a particular area, and allow controls to be put in place before problems arise.

Unless they put it in the alternate timeline, which it doesn't sound like they will given this quote:

>The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016.

...they'd have to some serious retconning to place it anywhere before Voyager. Too much existing canon to take into account when writing the scripts.
Would I hire a convict, in principle? Yes, but it would depend on the details for any specific case. That is, I'd be happy to hire a person convicted of a non-violent drug crime, or anything else that I consider a "victimless crime" (or any other "crime" that I personally consider a non-crime).

If the crime were something like shoplifting or whatever, and the person wasn't a serial offender, then I'd probably still consider hiring the person.

OTOH, somebody convicted of rape, murder, child molestation, something like that... I don't know. Offhand I think the answer is "no, probably not". I'd probably have to think about that one a bit more.
Lost History: Help Us Find the Declaration of Sentiments
I have always been interested in watching Star Trek, having watched some of Deep Space Nine with my dad and thinking it was okay when I was really young in addition to enjoying the new movies. I figure now is a good time seeing as this is coming out in a little over a year. Any suggestions as to what order I should watch it in or if I should avoid any of the series?
I agree with all of this. For your sales people getting paid on commission they will, of course, flat out lie and try to up sell you things or combine those together to say they're out of something they have and try to sell you something more expensive because you look like you need it (I'm looking at you Fry's).
It's a nice hack but a small chromebook (HP chromebook, $199) will save you time and also more convenient. Also you will "fit in" more anywhere than having a raspberry pi with odd-looking parts. The guy with a chromebook looks like a student or a tourist while the guy with the raspberry screams "hacker"

I've done one of these, and what I found myself was that the challenge wasn't just solving the problem, but also promoting a social dynamic that allowed everyone to participate in the problem solving.

That meant being intentionally ignorant to certain aspects of the puzzles to force participation from the quieter people in the group.
It's called a trade show, and pretty much every type of product has some. I agree that there could be a room between them and shops, i.e. small-scale displays, but at this point why not just let one buy the stuff?

I say they open up another timeline. Earth explodes and Vulcan survives.
> The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.

Although the series is aimed more at the US than the rest of the world, What if they decided to tackle the current migration issues? Those will only become bigger in the future as climate change will provoke more mass migrations.

Aside from being contemporary, the topic is a great source of material for dramatic stories too.

EDIT: Could tie in neatly to the Vulcan planet being destroyed in the new timeline.
Ask HN: SaaS Customer Notification best practices?
I've been scouring the internet for information on SaaS deployments & customer notification. There is no single source of info, the only stuff I was able to find was by searching a company website, like Salesforce for example, and trying to see what info I can dig out.

Don't suppose anyone here would have an idea what to do next beyond Googling?
I could post a LinkedIn topic perhaps, but I work for a SaaS company so it may look a bit stupid :lol:

Info required:
When to take downtime (evenings or weekends or combo) , how far in advance to notify end users, when not to notify (e.g. Patch with no downtime). Bonus would be some info on deployment processes to roll out a product to different geos.

I have all this documented and defined for ourselves, but now there is pressure from above to see can we cut corners or deploy faster so I am trying to gather information on this topic.
Thanks

People have crazy unrealistic expectations of YC in this regard. They invest in 30-40 teams per batch, based on an application and a very short interview. That's a good thing for founders, and whatever else you might think of them, YC is the probably the most founder-positive force in the entire technology industry.

They're investors, not chaperons.
So how do I start using it?! They document the method. I didn't see anywhere that they provided a github link. ;) Maybe they want us to implement it?
I have an even better model than that: Website erects paywall, nobody pays for content, and another irrelevant site bites the dust.
The ZenWatch 2 is accessible to everyone, at half the cost of the most popular round watches. It resembles the Apple Watch in design, especially the smaller version. Wearables aren't done evolving yet. Apps, OSes, and hardware have made much progress since Android Wear was introduced about 18 months ago, but many devices still reach early retirement in a drawer after just a few months, creating buyer resistance. This remarkable price and Asus's solid reputation as a hardware manufacturer make the ZenWatch 2 a good choice.
I remember people talking about how it would be inaccurate and full of nonsense because people would just put in whatever they wanted. Britannica would be the source of wisdom, and Wikipedia would be from the masses, full of errors. This was in 2002 or so.
