Life here is first and foremost arbitrary. As a result of this, the world is like a blank canvas we look out to and fill in with meaning.

The life of a human can be wrought with meaningless acts that have been given a lofty value in the human's head. One human says "This is meaningless!" while the other calls it holy. Many take this as a lesson to say that happiness is found by arbitrarily assigning value, but this -- and all idols -- will fail.

The great lesson of this world is to find yourself. This is necessary because the world is a dream; a very complicated but simple illusion. How does one escape illusions? Surely not by fighting with them, but by letting them go. This is why monks train so long to let go of attachment to the world and learn how to disconnect from it. The enlightenment that follows is but recognition of the real world -- what some would call "heaven" or "nirvana".

Different strokes for different folks, but the end-goal will always be the same for this world. The "last judgment" will be when the world has finally been judged truly and we relinquish from it and go back home. It might be many, many years away, but there are some of us whose only purpose is to accelerate the return.

Therefore, knowing that I have a purpose, responsibility, and finite time on this world, the equation for what has meaning to me is "Is my function aligned with my purpose?"

> Honestly, desktop Linux is the most expensive OS out there if you count the value of your time.

I think these words are actually on the cover of the 2004 edition of the Microsoft Anti-Linux Talking Points Guide.

It's not that it isn't credible that you had a bad experience, it's that people have bad experiences with Windows too, and often.

And the Windows problems are harder because the solutions are typically some kind of hideous workaround to the fact that the real problem can't be fixed, instead of the much-maligned Linux solutions that involve typing things into a terminal but, if you type the things into the terminal, it actually fixes the problem.
Ask HN: Why is it that more experienced candidates get paid more?
At the place where I work, it looks like more the number of years you've put in the corporate industry, the better your salary negotiation. I don't understand why this disparity exists. For instance, in my opinion, I've done way better work than a colleague of mine who is easily getting paid almost 1.5 times more than what I get paid. It is to be said that he has 4 years industry experience while I've only 1. Is this the case with most tech companies?
I'm a bit reluctant to post this, because nobody here is going to be able to fix your situation for you, but a few thoughts. As someone pushing 50 this year, if I had your freedom to just do anything, I'd be off in a heartbeat. Off to another part of the country or a different country entirely. Making that 5,000-mile bike-trip or just walking off somewhere with a back-pack and some camping gear. You might say "it's not that simple", but maybe it could be if you thought about it for a while?

Remember that wasting time at 20 seems OK, wasting it at 30 will make you nervous, and if you're still doing it at 40, you'll wonder where all the time went. It really happens surprisingly fast - at 29, you feel young, but a short decade later, you'll fret about being "too old" (which is an illusion, but it takes a while to know that). Don't worry that you'll mess up your career or anything else by taking some time to do something adventurous. Pretty much whatever you do, you'll look back and thank yourself for stepping out rather than hunkering down.

BTW, as for "work is very intense" - it probably isn't worth it. I burnt out once after a few years of very intense, very committed work. I wasn't better off at the end of it and nobody says "thank you", not sincerely anyway. And after you leave, the waters close around you and it will be like you were never there. So if you're not enjoying it, maybe it's the kind of bullshit you can do without?

Looking at the dozens of "chewing gum for the mind" links surrounding the story, before I even read the article I wonder:

1) Is it possible to have real content on a clickbait site? Is this story, any story, worth an exception on the "no platform for clickbait" standard?

2) When did the BBC go full on tabloid clickbait? And on the tech side of clickbait, Ghostery only blocked ten trackers, and of course I block flash. BBC had (had!) an amazing reputation, but that was the BBC worldwide shortwave service in 1975, etc, but this is an internet clickbait site in 2016... what in the world happened?

Actually, don't "simply don't" because that's not a useful way to go about improving things. Learn how your brain works and what you can do to actively change the way it currently operates. You wouldn't expect a trainer at the gym to simply tell you "get stronger" and walk away. You need to learn how muscles work, what types of exercises to perform, how to perform them, and then you need to achieve consistency.

(I can only imagine how much sooner I would have achieved consistent happiness if my school teachers and parents would have refrained from simply demanding I "pay attention!" and instead taught me how.)
Thanks for posting the link. I might try setting up Blimp on my Pi 2.
Multiple standards and per-brand charger networks would suck for consumers. Simple solution: make the federal tax credit only apply to cars that cooperate on connector standards (once a standard emerges).

Automotive design is in some kind of dark age. It's not just GM.
After reading that entire thread, it seems to be that IBM/Strongloop wants to maintain ownership of the project without contributing the resources. They expect dougwilson to continue running the project but he doesn't want to unless it is under the expressjs organization or something like that.

Apparently IBM threw a few guys into discovery on the project a few weeks ago and they may actively get involved, but it is yet to be seen. Maybe IBM just wants to own it and doesn't care what happens to the project one way or the next. I have no way of knowing what IBM's intentions are, and I think that's the concern of the maintainer, dougwilson.
Yes, thank you. I'm hoping to build an ANN this summer and don't have the luxury of taking an actual class.

Does anyone have any other resources?

The self-pipe trick isn't a perfect replacement for signalfd, because the signals aren't blocked. Blocked signals don't cause EINTR when they're received.

When working on OS X (and presumably BSD), you can use kqueue (the OS X man page is comprehensive) to watch for signal delivery. The same SIG_BLOCK requirement applies.

(Whether this is a practical matter, on the other hand, I'm not sure... if your main loop is based around select/poll/kqueue/etc., you probably won't be making any calls that would block anyway. And I'm not even sure that avoiding EINTR is such a great idea in the first place, though obviously if you have to block it to use signalfd/kqueue then you must. But it's actually quite a useful error to receive, and fits in quite neatly with level-triggered polling.)
> Many otherwise very successful traders have lost a lot of money on false positives.

I think you are confusing false positives for "this is a bubble" and false positives for "this bubble is about to burst".

Or maybe it's just a very radical definition of "losing money": is it really lost money when an investor leaves an already successful investment before it is getting even more successful? Sure, you could argue that the lost opportunity is a cost, when the replacement investment is less successful than the continuation of the previous one would have been, but if you follow that path some more then you will see that any investment is a massive loss, compared to the benchmark of buying winning lottery tickets every week.
"The dreams I had even six months ago, feeling ever more impossible."

Which dreams? Are the people who have achieved dreams like those that much more capable of you? One of my realizations is just how much less important intelligence is to drive. If you want something, oftentimes the difference is doing the work. Make sure it's a meaningful dream (e.g. not "get rich" which impacts happiness surprisingly little).

"I feel like I should find another job. Move to a different city or country. But I don't know how to do these things."

Are you more or less capable than the millions of people who find new jobs or move? You sound smart and educated. "Don't know how" seems like a pretty soft excuse. Everything has an "undo" button. Get a new job and it sucks? Well, you tried and learned some interesting things about yourself and the world-- go find another one. Move to a different city and find out that you don't love it? Well, you got to explore a cool place that wasn't for you, and maybe you met some interesting people. Move back or move to a new city.
Ask HN: Best methods and tools for becoming more productive?
I'd say that I'm relatively effective and productive, but I'd like to step up my game to the next level. What are some methods, techniques, libraries, and tools that I can use to become a wildly effective software developer?

Lately, I've been using a lot of:

Java 8
- IntelliJ, Gradle

Python 2.7 / 3.4
- Anaconda, PyStorm, Jupyter

JavaScript (TypeScript)
- WebStorm, Node 4.2, Angular, Yo

Linux Mint
- Shell, Bash, Nano (I know - I've just forgotten all my vim)

Firefox / Chrome
- Multifox, TabGroups, Postman

AWS
- cli, web console, custom JS scripts via SDK

Apache Spark

Databases
- DataGrip, Redshift / Aurora (MySQL) / Postgres, Mongo, Dynamo

Misc.
- Google Apps, Slack, Jira

My problems are generally with managing a lot of open tabs, windows, projects, etc.
Pretty sure it's unlimited.
I heard quite a few people who (even after Windows 7 came out) were complaining that MS made DOS harder to boot into with Win 95.
It's because experience makes you more valuable, whether you're super smart and skilled or not.

I used to think I did "good" work when I had only 1 year in the industry. Now I have 10 and write code in some ways I would have scorned when I started out.

You have no idea right now how much better you'll get and how you'll change in the next few years.
While I realize it may not be the case here, discontinued development doesn't necessarily mean death. Sometimes it means "done". I don't think enough developers get that.
I tried out the arithmetic, and it works. So, this transforms the problem drastically. Nice insight.

It might not be a 'compliance car' but why is it that all of the 'hard work' is being done by LG? The whole drive-train plus the batteries and ancillaries are entirely LG, albeit to GM's spec.

Adapters are simple though, no? At least wherever I see EV charging stations in malls and such, a variety of cars is connected - Leafs, Tesla S, Chevy Volt, and others. Perhaps this is not the most effective/fast way to charge a Tesla, but it does work.

The thread actually represents a discussion between the most active maintainer (dougwilson) and various employees of IBM who now own and oversee the project, with a few confused third parties chiming in.

It looks like IBM is making some predictable mistakes, which have disillusioned dougwilson to some large extent. Simultaneously they are being fairly inflexible at fixing those mistakes and ultimately forcing abandonment, at least by dougwilson. My prediction:

1) IBM continues with the typical corporate policies which are probably not great for the sort of OSS project that involves independent contributors

2) dougwilson leaves permanently

3) the project sort of wallows a bit

4) IBM puts some resources on it, and claims it all worked out.

As to #4, they'll be sort of correct, assuming the goal was to see resources and progress on express. They'll be wrong if the goal was to properly maintain an open source community around the project.

NOTE: I don't know anything about this, but I've seen this play out many times before. I chimed in here because the other comments in this thread seem to be wildly off topic given the content of the github discussion.
When I had children I experienced a significant drop in fear of death. Now if, say, someone were pointing a gun at me, my greatest emotion would be fear for how it would hurt them.

Fear of death is just a piece of hard coded programming to make sure we successfully reproduce and raise healthy offspring. It's not an intrinsic part of being sentient or conscious. It's possible that intelligences that reproduced in some other way would lack it entirely, e.g. AIs that explicitly create their offspring or hive like aliens. For ants only the queen might fear death, and we indeed see ants behaving this way.

I think this explains why radical life extension tech is underfunded. Even being a billionaire doesn't change this. Bill Gates has kids.
Wow. You do realise that you at part of the problem described? Zero tolerance of others views and a reluctance to listen to criticism followed by petty name calling?

It is still super early to be proclaiming a change in how politics are conducted in the USA. We haven't even had a single caucus or primary. Trump could end up like Snakes on a Plane: talked about tons before it came out but tanked at the box office.

As long as gerrymandering and laws that make it harder for third party candidates to even get on ballots exist (here's the first article about it that I found: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-07-0... ) then I will be skeptical about a real change in the political process in the USA.
There is also lots of points where he's pretty detached from reality. One reason he doesn't browse the web is that non free software javascript would somehow hurt him.

Great essay. I've always tried to get out of bullshit with some complex thinking, but at the end of the day, most of it could be avoided faster if preceded by a simple "Is this bullshit?" question.
For example, I just realised I wasted 1 week of my time with meetings with an "investor" I knew was bullshitter, because I didn't want to ask myself this question.

Ah. Good. The American Cancer Society says anti-perspirants don't cause cancer. To be safe, let's check one more...

"Because studies of antiperspirants and deodorants and breast cancer have provided conflicting results, additional research is needed to investigate this relationship and other factors that may be involved."

http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/my...

oh... but a US government site says it is unclear. Better dig a little more...

I don't think so, I'd say a different sort of people value the current work I do. People who are interested in making money over other pursuits. The people who really care about ecology/biology and advancing human knowledge there would put making money as second to the science. Therefore they tend to not have as much money. It's less about the volume of people that value something and more about the kind of people that value something IMO.
A crucial downside compared to wx is that U++ doesn't use native widgets, at least on Windows. And unlike Qt, it doesn't implement platform accessibility APIs. This is a show-stopper for blind users, because their screen readers can't identify the types of the widgets, tell which one has keyboard focus, etc.
> The "dozen committed automakers" have nothing.

They have installed way more charging stations than Tesla, by several orders of magnitude. Almost every Nissan, GM, BMW, etc dealership has at least one or two charging stations and they're open to the public. I can see 15 stations within 10 miles of my home, most at dealerships, then a few at malls and stores. Tesla has 3 Superchargers in the entire state, only near highways. The highway already has chargers installed at its rest stops, too (including DC quick chargers), and they're not Tesla chargers, they're the standard connector every other EV uses. PlugShare shows over 50,000 public chargers in the US. Tesla's only built 590 stations.

I drive a Nissan Leaf. They're ridiculously cheap (we're talking $10-12K fully loaded for a recent, low mileage certified preowned). I've charged it at public stations. I also look forward to upgrading to a longer range EV as soon as there's one that doesn't cost as much as a house. There are way more than enough non-Tesla charging stations out there to make me comfortable only owning an EV, by any make.
