Classist nonsense? Greed? "Smacks of Entitlement"? Your language has been negative and insulting and I am highly offended. Your attitude is against HN rules.

>A sense of purpose. The feeling that what you do matters. The feeling that at the end of the day, you've accomplished something. Something worth giving 1/3 of your life towards.

You truly think that's all people want? Most people with jobs do not work on something they consider meaningful. To do so means they ARE LUCKY. If that's the case why are they working? What is the factor that is satiating them when the job provides Zero meaning? Salary. You're essentially claiming most employees aren't "real" because they work for money instead of meaningful work.

You know those quants at wall street who spend their days building algorithms that trade meaningless paper stocks that contribute nothing to GDP? They do it for half a million dollars annual salary, not for a job that matters.

>You're hiding your greed behind classist nonsense. You don't want a sense of purpose, you just want that paycheck to keep getting bigger.

I'm not even really hiding anything. All people want more money, including me. You're trying to paint me as some "greedy" person because I want more money when wanting more money is NORMAL. We are all imperfect creatures and we all want more money. To openly deny this desire means you are a creature of utter moral perfection and I question your honesty and the existence of such a creature.

What I really want is this: More money AND a sense of purpose. Isn't that what everyone wants? All you want is a sense of purpose and minimum wage. Ok, good for you.

>You are very probably already in the 1% of top income earners in the world. Being that that cutoff is $34,000/year, it's not hard.

Your numbers are loaded like the rest of your argument. You need 500,000 annually to be in the top 1%: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/10/19/what-percent-are-y...

>You should be focused less on fighting those with more than you, and more on working with them to do things that matter.

Who are you to tell me what I should do or what I want? You do not control what satisfies an employee. Majority consensus defines this concept not you telling me what I should do.

Also note that no employee ever really works "with" the employer as you put it. To do so means you get an equal piece of the pie. Hence the usual term is "Employees work FOR employers."

Yet the alternatives the article proposes are mostly for coders and tech folks. Business people only have LinkedIn. However bad LinkedIn can be, it's still the only tool around for some people. I think the problem is that for some jobs is very difficult to show your skills. A good finance guy has a very hard time showing off vs say, a programmer - there is no github or SOF for finance guys, question is: can there be one?
Well I've never done it, but my understanding is that they will never stop emailing you.
Right, but if there's overcrowding, and animals in the overcrowded population stochastically [eg with 10% probability, perhaps at conception] became homosexual, then it does make sense.

Continuing to reproduce in an overcrowded situation [eg limited food / shelter] doesn't make sense -- this could serve to help the species.

It is very weird to me, why he doesn't use more of tidyr and dplyr. Those are wonderful packages. The whole part of changing types of data frame, would become single call to `mutate` from dplyr package.

There is great blog [0] post explaining working with those tools. What is most important here, is that dplyr and tidyr makes data organization and analysis concise, effecient and readable way.

What exactly is the difference between systems and standards and policies and procedures?

Algorithmic systems can be internally deterministic and consistent, but always always the problem is ascribing significance to symbols. Rights and laws try to solve fundamentally ill-posed problems. Rights and laws inevitably conflict with each other and the baroque complexity of law is the result of top-down systems attempting to resolve such inconsistencies as they arise.

I for one do not welcome our algorithmic overlords. It sounds like the revenge of Han Feizi and the Legalists, who wanted to bind all human behavior to a systematic, all-pervading set of rules and thus bring human subjects into perfect harmony with the state. I do not see why systems and standards are better than policies and procedures.

The car actually randomly asks you permission to do this.

No, it asks you every...friggin'...time you start the car, with no way to say "you have my permission from now on". I wish it were random, at least that way there be times I don't have to punch the "OK" button.
If only it were April fools...
Or it could be that the FBI expects compliance from Apple as they expect compliance from all of us _and_ they know that raiding Apple's headquarters to take what they want (what? what would they take?) at gunpoint would cause many currently compliant citizens to become less compliant.

Our system depends on many lies to keep lurching along for the benefit of the elite and anything that causes those lies to be uncovered for more and more people is best avoided, according to the status quo.
I'm sure you find your point emotionally resonant so I'll give you an opportunity to make it interesting with a loaded question - is it better for the species to push people to grow beyond their bounds or is it better to swell in the middle?
I agree with the "non-linear" aspects of the theory.

Agents infuence the system and are themselves changed by the result. We can see that in politics.

Mankind deseperatly needs this kind of tool to survive. Philosophy or principles are not shared enough to avoid conflicts and wars. Something neutral could help.

Thank you again :-)
I think that half-million is in the USA, not the world. Most people in the world make a few dollars a day.
I agree. I did eventually find the pricing info in the demo, but it's not at all immediately obvious that the 'demo' plays double duty as the site's actual FAQ page. And why hide pricing info in a FAQ anyway? Pricing should not be just in a FAQ.

Also, $7/mo seems steep to me, but who knows? To me the FAQ system seems to involve an excess of clicking/navigating.
I suspect it was not about facts, but about my choice of words. I was going for a Blue Velvet reference.
Not even close. Transferwise charges a fee of 0.7%. VBCE is half of that.

Skype on Windows is also a disaster. I only use it to instant message, not call, and it still takes multiple minutes to start up.

Sorry, but I'd be surprised if Google or Siri don't answer your question to "I need the number to the printing company on the east side", it's a pretty trivial thing to lookup. Also, Google and Siri bring you cost efficiency and scale, something you can't easily do with directory enquiries.

I really don't like this direction that MS is heading. I'd rather they charger for Windows 10 and newer and not start bundling software and pushing ads by default.

Also, fuck buying games off the Windows store, Steam and any other service that locks you into DRM. My steam client in Linux is hopelessly broken due to updates. Some of my games will still play, but most require the stupid Steam DRM layer. I should have bought them off Humble instead.
Wow can't believe I missed that, it's crazy.

Never going to be buying one of those then.

The U.S. Government* isn't allowed to say "we want to spend this much money for this thing" they can only say "we want this thing" and then take the "best" offer they get, a fact known by all the companies bidding, and by all the companies I mean the one company that has jumped through all the legal hoops necessary to allow them to bid.

Completely off topic but thank you ! I was starting C programming and I was wondering how to check an executable dependencies. If I were to package an executable which was dynamically linked to use it on another computer without recompiling binaries, how could I proceed ? does ldd show the dependencies of the dependencies too ? Would it be sufficient to put all shared libraries into the same folder as the executable ? thanks.
How to Build Your First App with Angular2 and .NET
Seems like the only way people want to make money these days is through invasive advertising without the end-user's explicit consent. Granted the expectation of free software is driving most of this, but it starts a vicious cycle because those who get annoyed with them develop countermeasures, which the creator responds to with more aggressive ads, ad infinitum.

It does start explaining some of the highly controversial telemetry MS was collecting in Win10 - turning everyone's PCs into billboards.
There's no "nice" app where you click on drop downs or type in amounts and then it appends it to your ledger file.

Generally, and it's been discussed a lot on the mailing list/irc, people end up finding just writing down transactions in a text file works best. e.g. google keep, or simplenote, or Notes app etc.

I keep my ledger file on dropbox, so I can edit it directly.

I've not tried hledger-web on my phone to see what it looks like, but that has an add transaction function. So you could just go to your site and edit it. Obviously want some security to prevent others accessing it, e.g. VPN to home network.
It doesn't look like this affects any systems used to move the car. Still, will I need to start asking if my next automobile is air-gapped at this rate?

MooseFS and BeeGFS don't really seem to be in the same category of filesystem though.

BeeGFS comes from the HPC world where it is all about performance, while MooseFS seems more focused on high reliability even in the face of entire machines coming and going.

BeeGFS stores files striped over multiple machines and can use infiniband natively which gives us a system where bandwidth to individual files can reach a bit over 1GB/s (best case) and aggregated bandwidth can reach 30GB/s from a very mixed and unoptimized bioinformatics workload, a lot more when just testing the raw bandwidth.

Since BeeGFS uses an underlying filesystem on each storage target you can of course run raid, zfs or whatever it takes to make you comfortable that the individual storage targets aren't going to be lost - which is what it takes for data to be unavailable.

If you want some extra reliability in BeeGFS it also supports mirroring so you only lose data if you fully lose two storage targets. We can't really afford to run with full mirroring for our 3PB though.

We are very happy with it for our HPC environment but I'm not sure how well it works in an AWS setup.
Windows 10 is a pretty good OS but has serious issues with drivers (it tries to be clever and breaks stuff). And the startup is sooooo slow and the UI crashes twice before I ever get the chance to give it input.

The Mail, Calendar and OneNote apps kept me hooked. But the lack of a decent terminal was killing me. Also, Skype didn't work properly half the time and the new "Video" and "Messaging" apps built on top of Skype were crashing 90% of the time.
9 out of 10 PC's still run Windows so I guess not.

Do you have any experience with them? Do you suggest any other service that would help on this? A while ago I found tempcfo (used by stripe itself, slack, and others) and indinero, I wonder if they could help on the ongoing assistance and which is the best option

It might be great if your goal is to get "recruiters to notice you" which might be OK if you don't already have a job (it's better than nothing). But in my experience, recruiter attention is insufficient if your goal is getting a _better_ job. I tried the LinkedIn thing for a while (and still maintain an account there, because who knows?), but it basically resulted in a lot of recruiter contacts and plenty of interviews, but apparently not a lot of companies that were actually serious about hiring. They seem to mostly be the dog jobs too, the crap "opportunities" that employers couldn't immediately fill so they have to use recruiters. And in this job market, if you can't immediately fill a position, you ought to take a good look at what's wrong with that position.

You'll also have a hard time using it to change job function or for a career upgrade. If your profile says "Senior Software Engineer" you'll just get a bunch of recruiters spamming you to be "Senior Software Engineer" at some other company. They'll never reach out to you and say, "hey how would you like to try being tech lead, or managing a team of engineers?" The site's obviously automated "suggested jobs" are also carbon copies of whatever it is you're already doing, too.

Needless to say, I don't bother much with LinkedIn anymore.
I've already gone to great lengths to optimize my mobile site. I am fully confident that AMP cannot possibly make my site any faster. Every page on my site loads via a single HTTP request that transfers 10k of gzipped JS and HTML all at once. Loading an additional script with an extra request for another JS file is completely against my mobile design principles.

Should people like me start using AMP anyway to stay relevant in Google search rankings?

Then your installation is clearly broken. No, it's not good, but let's not pretend these issues didn't exist in the "good old days".
Recruiters can get very spammy and they immensely difficult to deal with on sites like Dice, Indeed, and Monsters of the web. On LinkedIn, the seem to be far more capable and targeted to my interests. Companies like Google and Amazon have contacted me through LinkedIn as well.
Only the 2011 and 2012 model years worked like that. Newer Leafs only require you to acknowledge the agreement every few months.
I will watch it, thanks. But that won't change the fact that C++ is not at all a superset of the C language, they are genuinely different languages. Objective-C however is technically a strict superset of C. All C code runs as expected in Objective-C. This is not true in C++ where the same C code might compile and produce different output when run in a C++ context, or that several C idioms are not possible in C++.

Steam is the best of a bad bunch really - it's not perfect, but it's much fairer than other platforms. There's another article on HTG (linked from this one) that outlines the differences between Steam and Windows Store, and Steam scores quite highly. I was very surprised when some of my older games suddenly popped up as being available on Linux for no extra cost. When the Steam DRM works properly, it's pretty non-invasive.

Can't deny Humble have it right though. This war over DRM was fought with music and non-DRM has mostly won. Maybe something similar will happen with games.
List of ideas:

* I'd agree that first and foremost, I'd change the line width. I've always found the blog a bit difficult to read on the site because of the number of words per line. The site seems to be responsive - maybe just change the width of the articles?

* It might be worth having the landing page have something other than "featured articles" right at the top. Since the content of your site is so diverse, it might help to have some pointers as to how to navigate the site up front.

* On the navigation sidebar, maybe have a "New Here?" or a "Getting Started" link.

Just some ideas. I've been reading your blog for many years, btw. It even inspired me to start my own!
hmm, good point
Not surprised. Some of us have been predicting this for years, but we tended to get shouted down for committing the Slippery Slope fallacy.
AMP erects walls around the Open Web and enshrines Google as the gatekeeper.

Want to embed content from another site? Great! You can choose from <amp-twitter>, <amp-facebook>, <amp-instagram>, <amp-pinterest>, or <amp-youtube>.

Building an advertising startup? Hooray! I hope you're one of the dozen whitelisted ad networks that <amp-ad> allows.

In Russia or China? Maybe Google will deign to implement <amp-vk> and <amp-sinaweibo> if we're sufficiently humble.

This is not the Web I want.
