I don't run the company, and even if I ignored everything I was told to do, and didn't get fired, and instead followed sensible, professional processes, I don't write the entire software by myself.

I am bemused that someone of your experience has trouble grasping this. I thought perhaps you were some kid straight out of school who thinks the whole world works like the marketing material for agile, but it turns out you've got a decade of experience. You must, surely, have seen (or at least heard of) companies that don't look like the marketing material for agile?
"Brief Interviews With Hideous Men" is also a great starting point if you want to get a sense of his darkly humorous fiction. Although, he embellishes and invents so many things in his non-fiction pieces that they straddle the line pretty nicely as well.
The comments are still captured by search engines for popular frameworks like Wordpress, however sites that don't use those technologies aren't subject to the same advantage. Google will only make allowances where the tech used it popular enough, or the dev community is loud enough to warrant changes to their crawler.
That's awesome! I should know because I also created my own RSS aggregator after the demise of Google Reader.

It fills my needs perfectly because I created it specifically for myself and I control it fully in all aspects.

It's been such a tremendous success for me and so fun to create that I am thinking about replacing other online services with custom-made versions, such as google calendar, google tasks, etc. Something to look forward to in 2016.

Great job, and keep at it!
Ever tried to play a modern computer game? You never have enough RAM for stuff; a lot of content gets dumped onto hard drive sooner or later (virtual memory), or is be streamed from the drive in the first place. Having faster access helps tremendously.

From my observation, actually most personal and business use machines are IO-bound - it often takes just the web browser itself - with webdevs pumping out sites filled with superfluous bullshit - to fill out your RAM completely, and then you have swapping back and forth.
No worries! The rules remain rather obscure no matter how often we post things like this.
>- I feel that in many cases, ebook prices are just ripping me off.

I think this is really informative for people who price things, not just for the ebook subject. e-book prices are usually lower than print-book prices. But people feel ripped off, because they know it took the publisher zero marginal effort to make their copy.

I mean, I've been on the other side of this, too... I was really surprised when my royalty check came, because if someone buys the e-book alone, I get a massively higher royalty than if someone buys the print book. - so if you are the sort who thinks the author should get paid more and the publisher should get paid less, then e-books are for you.

but... really, the interesting thing is just how intuitive the 'labor theory of value' is- we expect the price we pay for a thing to have something to do with the effort and capital that went into making it, and we feel ripped off when it doesn't.
My first question: Where are the vidyas? :D
I'm a night owl with a slipping sleeping schedule, but the psychiatrist seems to have a point about depression: there seems to be a link between perceived light, circadian clock and depression. Which is not exactly pointing a finger at all night owls, but at least to people with slipping schedules like me.
Nothing about this alternative version is any more or less RESTful than the original version.
Do you have an iphone6? These models are garbage from a durability POV. the beveled glass shatters very easily on the corners.

I left my 3gs on the roof of my car and it flew into the street when i pulled out of the gas station... intact. My brother in law is a fireman, and his fell out of an aerial ladder 4-5 stories up, and survived with bruises. I dropped a 6 and 6+ from chair height into carpet tile and shattered the screen on the plus, and cracked it on the 6. It's now held together with scotch tape. :)
This may seem like an odd recommendation, but I think The Autobiography of Malcolm X is one of the best books I've read. Easily the most gripping non-fiction.

Someone described it as illustrative of "the intellect of anger", and I think it fits. I also think, somewhat paradoxically, that such a precise and charismatic characterization of anger will make you more understanding of angry people.

You are downvoted, but also accurate. HTTP 1.0 happened, then Fielding did his work, informing HTTP 1.1. Chronologically speaking, REST is something that describes the web and how it succeeds.

Section 6.3 is even about which parts of HTTP are RESTful or not http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/evaluatio...
One of the earlier posts in the series explained Midori in more detail. Apparently it was a research operating system built at Microsoft to explore using safe/managed code for building the entire OS while also aiming for the same kind of performance you get with raw C/C++.
You need to be more precise with your terminology. There is no such thing as a NVMe backplane. NVMe is a software protocol. The backplanes for 2.5" SSDs to which you refer would be PCIe backplanes using the SFF-8639 aka U.2 connector. None of the above is synonymous with the M.2 connector/form factor standard, which is what I was talking about.
Fixing the steam heating valves will decrease their energy costs as tenants reduce the heat they demand, since they all seemed to be overheated. I wonder why they don't do it.
Then don't open spam? I don't think a spam email has made it to my inbox in almost 5 years. Google's proxy protects your private data and only informs the sender that the email has been opened. I would hardly call that "unsafe"

That actually sounds like a pretty good idea for smaller groups. Will definitely give it a try!
edit: okay, I re-read what you said and yes, these won't support M.2 drives, if I understand what's going on here, and it's possible I still don't. (I have yet to buy any non-sata SSD, though I will soon be making experimental purchases.)

I was talking about these:

Note, though, it looks like if you are willing to pay for a U.2 connected drive, you can get 'em with the giant heatsinks you want:

http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/...

available; not super cheap, but I'm not sure you'd want the super cheap consumer grade stuff in a server, anyhow.

further edit:

but I object to the idea of putting SSDs on PCI-e cards for any but disposable "cloud" type servers (unless they are massively more reliable than any that I've seen, which I don't think is the case here.) just because with a U.2 connected hard drive in a U.2 backplane, I can swap a bad drive like I would swap a bad sata drive; an alert goes off and I head off to the co-lo as soon as convenient and I can swap the drive without disturbing users, whereas with a low-profile PCI-e card, I've pretty much gotta shut down the server, de-rack it, then make the swap, which causes downtime that must be scheduled, even if I have enough redundancy that there isn't any data loss.

The Nordics only seems perfect from the outside. Us that live here sometimes wonder why people ever thought it was a good idea to settle here. The winters are too long and dark. The summers are too short and cold. The people are too shy. We dont talk to strangers or neighbours.

We dream of some fairytale land where the sun always shines and people talk to strangers. I think there is such a place somewhere in South America.

We would trade the highest mountain for a piece of such a place.
I don't think self-described 'Night owls' must be lazy, but they are usually non-conformist, which might make them very unsuitable for some jobs and some organizations. If I was hiring for such an organization, that factor would matter to me, even though it is obviously a poor way of assessing their potential value.

It's definitely not that there are too few female authors. There are lots of female authors, and they're well publicized.

Rather, I think the issue is that with just a few exceptions, this is exactly the book list you'd expect from a cohort of 25-35 year old startup founders --- batteries, Elon Musk, data science, the energy industry, The Martian (really?), and business history. These are topics with, let's just say, a particular demographic concentration.

I physically winced when I saw the Wodehouse recommendation.

Some possible recommendations, if we're going to stick with "relevant to HN readers":

* Annie Jacobson's DARPA book, The Pentagon's Brain

* the Brene Brown book on mentally overcoming adversity, which might complement Nonviolent Communication (and might also be a more humane recommendation than David Brooks)

* Between You And Me (more writing books, please! Also maybe Mary Karr's book on memoirs, though I haven't read it and am not a Karr fan)
Given the number of IOPS SSDs produce they are a win even if you have to chuck them every 6 months.

"Every hole in the roof is a dagger through the heart of the house". That's a problem. Roofs, as building elements, suck. Walls and foundations can last for centuries. Roofs have trouble in 20-30 years. Solar panels add unplanned loads to roofs and involve holes through them. Some tile roofs can't even be walked on without damage. There's no roof standardization. Hence the problems of home rooftop solar.

Commercial roofs are in some ways more promising. They tend to be flat, and much stronger, designed to support air conditioning units and other mechanical systems. But they have other problems. One big one is that the owner and tenant are usually different parties, and there may be complex tax shelter arrangements in place.[1] Negotiations become very complicated.

There's interest in new roofs which are solar panels, and there are "solar shingles", but those are not in widespread use yet.

I'm pretty much an exclusive e-book reader anymore. They're almost always cheaper unless buying used (not something I tend to do) though the difference is very marginal, my reader is waterproof, it supports the only format I care about (ePub), and I backup all of my books on my computer anyway which removes DRM and renders moot fears of losing my books. Most important to me: I hate carrying books around.

Even so, I wish I could pay $3 extra and just get a physical and digital copy. The only two things I really miss from physical books are 1) ease of lending to others and 2) casual perusal of the collection that call to mind the experience of reading it.
And it worked under the most extreme conditions! If you could build something a bit bigger and more elegant looking, I'd totally give it a try.
> Win32 is actually not that bad

Having written code for Win32 for a while, I kind of have to disagree. Compared to Gtk+ (I admit, I only used it from Python/Perl/Ruby) or Qt, building GUIs in C/Win32 is a huge pain.

I only had very brief contact with Win32's threading API, but it looked like that was indeed more fun to use than pthreads.
I forgot SSH, from the list of significant Finnish OSS projects, though I think original SSH by Tatu Ylönen was freeware, not OSS proper.
Can someone suggest an example of "true" REST API, complex enough (not trivial CRUD stuff like blog) to be used as a real-life example?
Sure! I understand why it works this way, and also, I have enormous respect for the distilleries that have managed to bring authentic products to market. Few is a good example of that.
There is unpredictablilty in SSDs however, its most like whether an IOP will take 1 ns or 1 ms, instead of 10 ms, or 100 ms with an HD.

The variability is an order of magnitude greater but the worst case is an is several orders of magnitude better. Quite simply no one cares that you might get 10,000 IOPS or 200,000 IOPS from an SSD when all you're going to get from a 15K drive is 500 IOPS

"Awkwardly long loading screens".

What the author fails to mention is that these are on-demand instances, and what's seen is the 'environment provisioning' delay, not some sort of 'loading screen'.

20% is actually on the higher limit in a lot (pretty much all) "normal" companies. Spending 50% on marketing is unsustainable.
No, Fusion-io has nothing to do with spinning drives. They make PCI-e flash drives with an FPGA as the "controller" for the flash. There are multiple communication channels, so you can simultaneously read and write from the drives, and there are various tunings available to control how garbage collection works. They are the only "SSD" that doesn't hide all the flash behind any kind of legacy disk controller or group protocol like NVMe

Well they exist in the phone booth size:

We have one of them in my office, it's uncanny how much noise they block.

I could see one of these being made in various bed sizes and have some integrated shelving & lighting to act as a nightstand. They have versions that look like hardwood panelling, they look pretty cool.

You could still get lots of sunlight since they are mostly window on two sides. I think they would need a side window version and a vertical window version depending on the orientation of windows in your bedroom.

It would solve one class of noise problems for sure!
I see this criticism as one of expectations. If you pair the dish with an Italian, French, or California wine and it flops, it could be considered a matter of differing personal tastes.

If you are going out on a limb and pairing with wine from a nontraditional region or using a uncommon grape, I expect an amazing pairing that could only be accomplished with this more unique wine.
They use flash like all other SSDs, but don't use a disk controller or any community defined protocols for mass compatibility. They use their own software and an FPGA to control the flash.
I watched the films in Machete Order[1] with my girlfriend in advance of the premiere of The Force Awakens last week. She hadn't seen any Star Wars movie in 15 years, and the Machete Order worked out quite well. I'd considered watching one of the two hour long "Phantom Edits," but it seemed too difficult to find one of good quality.

Do you have a recommendation on a specific edit?

I tried two pairs of these Radians and couldn't get them to work well. They don't form a proper seal I think, not exactly sure. Def. not as effective as normal ear plugs when it comes to blocking out sound for me.

Any tips?
Slack did the same thing which I really like - https://api.slack.com/methods. I was just thinking about JSON RPC style APIs vs 'RESTful APIs.

REST APIs are nice because they follow the data model so closely but there are so many cases in which I am trying to overload something to bend the pattern to my needs. Then again, Stripe seems to have created a fantastic API that handles many complicated cases so maybe it just requires more upfront thought - https://stripe.com/docs/api.

I disagree that REST is a buzzword, though. I think that REST has become so popular because it's a very effective way to construct an API.

afterthought: There are plenty of "RESTful" APIs that miss the mark on important concepts in the pattern. In this case, I would say - yes REST is worthy of the term buzzword.

It's ~90dB and bikers routinely retrofit their bikes with loud, illegal exhausts that are louder than that to show off and because they believe it makes them safer on the road - "loud pipes save lives". 100dB+ is common, that's 10x louder than the already generous limit.

It was clearly meant as an idiomatic expression.

Why not mention rapes, murders and crimes that aren't targeting a specific group? They're all valid reasons for you to object to the statement that some place is literally perfect.

Your objection is entirely out touch with the parent posts intended meaning.
Net neutrality has been the status quo on the internet for 30 years without regulatory intervention. Whether or not there's a credible threat to that status quo is something that's very arguable: there are potentially more forces working against the ISPs' ability to engage in content-based discrimination than working in favor of it. The organizations with the most de facto power on the internet seem to be the ones which stand the most to lose from any breach of net neutrality: the Googles and Facebooks and Apples of the world seem quite a bit more influential than the Comcasts and the Verizons. On the other hand, agency capture is a very real phenomenon, and the Comcasts and Verizons certainly do have disproportionate influence over the FCC: it's entirely possible that the thing most likely to undermine net neutrality in the near future is making its preservation the responsibility of the FCC.

The solution to the problem is to support organizations and institutions that have real substantive incentives to protect net neutrality -- not merely an inherently co-optable political mandate -- and to work in parallel to diminish the actual capacity of ISPs to actually abridge e.g. by promoting widespread end-to-end encryption of everything, etc.

The mindset of "we've got to address this potential problem by giving monopolistic coercive power to this single centralized institution" has just got to go away.
Having a great research organisation is one thing, turning that research into products (or integrating it with existing products) is quite another.
I found GTD and I did not get along. For me, the result was the opposite of its name, or exactly the name if you define "things" to be all the pointless things in life that you shouldn't waste your time with.

I found the important/due date quadrant system espoused by Randy Pausch in his Time Managenent video to be the best way to get important things done. GTD didn't make that distinction and in my experience, it made it worse.

Disclaimer: I know how overzealous I was about GTD when I was using it, and I want to say that I'm not interested in talking about why you think I should try GTD again. I don't want to debate with anyone about GTD. This is only my experience with trying to use it in my life 5 years ago for about a year. It didn't mesh with my goals. I am excited for you if it's served you well, though!
Why am I suppose to feel bad for these adjunct professors? They seem to fall into two categories - either they are full time professionals who take on a teaching job just as supplemental income, or they chose field and/or degree for which there weren't a lot of job opportunities.

I would never support my child getting a degree in Ancient Chinese Art History, I don't care if it is their "passion". As Scott Adams said "Passion Is Bullshit."
6 years ago, I rewrote 30 000 lines of C++ code in 1000 lines of Ruby.

A year ago, I rewrote 424 lines of Java+Spring+Hibernate in 18 lines of bash. This is less glorious, but if you compare the size of the deliverable, it's 39Mb for the J2EE webapp against… 772 bytes for the shell script.

At my current job, I maintain an app with 500,000 lines of code that could easily fit in 20,000.

Code bloat is indeed a recurrent problem.
I got the sense that it was a PR hit for Nantero, bought and paid for. Notice the arc of the article: it says "[Popular hot technology] is dead. [Big vendors] have recently introduced [exciting new product], but [here are problems and doubts about those]. There's also [small startup you've never heard of] which has [alternative product] featuring [this list of features straight from their landing page]."

Usually these types of articles are designed to lead people directly to the product that's paying for the article. Sensationalistic is good for this; it gets people to click, it gets people to disagree, and then the controversy spreads the article across the net. Seems like it's working, in this case.
