In a free society people can move where they please. The explosions happened before the security checkpoints at a very busy airport, so I don't see how this was some security failure. Intelligence failure yes, but airport security? I'm not so sure. Are you suggesting that a perimeter be setup around the entire airport and people are checked before entering the grounds?
There are FOSS projects that would like to host with you but won't because "Take advantage of all the benefits of GitLab EE" is a requirement on gitlab.com instead of something you can elect to use.

VR has its use cases. But the question is, will it be like 3D for mass market? Everybody praised 3D when it started a few years back. But now 3D seems to be dead, with the few exceptions like movie cinemas. Even most of the TV manufacturers seems to get rid of it.

So what about VR? Only a hype by the tech savvy community and the lost and forgotten in a few years when it should be ready for mass market?
I had to look up what that acronym means ("cover your ass", for anyone interested). WTPOUAWYCJWOTFS?

That's why terror attacks work - we (the media) go ape shit after them. If no one bat an eye, they would loose the effect and appeal.
Rational or not, family/friends freak out when you are close to a natural disaster or terrorist attack.

I was in Chile during an 8.8 earthquake and assumed no one would worry since the death toll was so low. But everyone at home went nuts, in the two days it took to contact my family my mother had already accepted that I was dead.
Sounds like one-sided advice from the point of view of the advisor. Fact is, the advisor-grad student relationship is two way, and the advisor, being the experienced scientist who plays the guiding role, is much more crucial to the success of the PhD than the student. When a PhD student meanders about for 8 years, it is likely that the advisor does not know "how to get things done" as much as the student.

I am after my PhD and I consider quality of this list being close to of a "be creative" list.

That is, in principle all points make sense, but they are either truism, too obvious, too vague or things that are out of control. (If I had read it before starting my PhD it wouldn't have changed a thing).

Or maybe I am overly skeptical of simplistic life-advice? Is there any take-home message that changed your way of acting?

Perhaps instead of using StackOverflow "correct" answers, someone could create a site that has example of anti-patterns and code smells, which you could then use to analyze the code on Github and link to possible alternatives.

While a document store is a subset of NoSQL databases, NoSQL is not synonymous with document store. It also includes graphs, key-value stores, etc. That's what the original person was getting at - you should've started with "document store".

While I may use JSON for storing click data, I wouldn't do it using a NoSQL database.

I agree. Like I said, I think it's a cool excercise. I'm all for doing things just to learn and explore. Which is what I'd classify this as. The things you learn doing stuff like this will likely help you in the future in some tangential way. No one should be excoriated for practicing their craft, especially in a case like this where it's a nifty project.

The problem is when you put down other projects or even OSes in this case that, frankly, are immensely more powerful and useful than what you've put forth. I think lacking the 'without the suck', it probably wouldn't have gotten much attention, especially the negative.

I think they are just using the medium effectivelly.

Instead of going and tell them "I know you pirated our game. Please don't do that." they made the game simulate the consequences of piracy to game development studios.

Instead of having the someone tell them they are wrong, the player comes to that conclusion themselves (hopefully).

It'll be great for video games. it'll be useful for movies and documentaries if they weren't "flat". And really only useful for solo experience with them. TVs are large enough and cheap enough that with the lights dimmed you get a similar experience to a VR headset, but shared with others in the same room.

I'm not totally sold on the virtual desktop concept, but I'd be willing to try it. But I, personally, benefit greatly from actual tactile feedback with paper and handwriting. A multi-sensory experience (touch, sight, smell, sound) is far better than a 1-2 sense experience (sight w/ maybe sound) for memory retention and recollection.
Unless you are in a country without potable water (like China where a bottle of water really is just 24 cents), then by all means, that bottle of water is a good investment.

Well, someone picked .bro as the initial extension by simply shortening .brotli, and someone else pointed out that .brt might be less potentially controversial.

Ask HN: UK residents: how much do you make?
The majority of answers in the other threads are US-centric, and I think it would be interesting to see how the UK compares in total compensation and benefits.

I'm a DevOps Engineer making £44k, in central London, with just under three years experience.

The working hours are 8 per day (excluding lunch), I get 26 days of holiday per year (plus bank holidays), I can work from home once a week, and I get a 3% matching pension.
Disney Springs (in Orlando, FL - Note: used to be called "Downtown Disney") got rid of crossings and made tunnels / bridges instead to keep traffic flowing. Probably not as ideal outside of Disney though. They're expanding / rebuilding the whole area. I no longer drive through there worrying about pedestrians altogether.
Yes, but that would not make sense.

CloudFlare is very close to end users (single digit milliseconds) and gzip is fast and gives good compression. What we can't afford to do is make a file smaller at the cost of increased latency because the compression time was longer. There's a trade off between compression time and delivery time.

So, Brotli makes sense for things we cache (because we can compress out of band) and for large files delivered over slow connections but is not a panacea.

RSS Pedantry
Command-line tools are great but graphical displays can be useful, too. The real problem is that pane/window management on OSes is years behind where it should be.

What I want is a way to take any view I please, from any application, and arrange it anywhere in a standard way with keyboard support and sensible omissions of chrome. If this means 65% of my screen is terminals, 20% web browsers, 10% some graphical view from Xcode and 5% notifications, that should be perfect fine. Instead, the most the Mac has been able to cobble together is a simple split screen view and that is only for Full Screen.

And, we also have: Xcode with its own completely custom and quirky pane/tab management scheme, terminals with their own pane/tab scheme, browsers with their own tabs, etc. Individual applications continue to feel some need to over-engineer their own pane/window management to compensate for lack of system support.

There are some signs of hope though. The direction Apple is going with Mac view controllers could theoretically put them in a position to finally turn individual views into first-class citizens that would be feasible to interleave arbitrarily across applications. At that point, command-line tools could integrate very nicely in arbitrary ways with elements that really benefit from being graphical. We’ll see.

"Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week."

This statement, but itself, doesn't really give you the entire picture. I've had my own company for the last 10 years.

Running a company is more about controlling my own destiny, than the amount of hours I'm working. I can choose if I want to work 80 hours a week or 20...and I don't have a boss or a manager leading me on a path I know will be a failure.

I went to the Pirate Party conference in the UK a few years ago. This method of decision making was proposed, but issue that was recognised was that of absenteeism.

6 New Trends Disrupting the Insurance Industry
Average in statistics contains the following mean, median, mode, range and more. This (Not trying to be mean or saying you are trying to do this) pseudo-intelligent attack on average because they heard a cool attack on mean when it comes to income inequality isn't pertinent to speaking about above and bellow average.

Real world example: It is still an non-measurable skill set.

> so the distribution would still be skewed and the average would still be different from the median value

You also mixing up vocabulary your still taking average = mean BUT average also means median.

Here is real world ranking of skills (Math, Science, English and Reading) http://blog.prepscholar.com/act-percentiles-and-score-rankin...

Once again what scores are you comparing? When I went to Graduate School I had to do GRE and MAT test and I needed to be over 70% percentile on the test just to be average in my field of study (Theology (highest of all fields of study while Education had one of the lowest scores which makes me laugh) This had HUGE implications on my later PhD program acceptance. I couldn't say I was above average in my field because I scored really high. I had to be better then well over 75% of the people taking the test in my field of study. Just because there are a ton of beginners that start and leave that doesn't mean that there isn't a middle and that middle ground will have great skills above the learners. I counter the argument on this paper discounting average developers and placing the blame on their co-workers and environment. Average workers are not to be looked down on.
They do - I was on the tube a few trains back from one that got hit in London in '07 - I responded to everyone with words to the effect of "of course, don't be irrational".

I just worry that this sort of thing only fans the flames of irrational fears, and we have quite enough irrational thought driving the direction of the world right now.
That's an interesting and scary attack I hadn't thought about before. HPKP headers should become part of security monitoring strategies to reduce the impact of such an attack, independent of whether a site actually uses HPKP or not.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Networking Events
I've been working at a consulting firm for almost six years. Tons of people quit to make their own startups or go into another industry. For me, I'm just thinking of taking a six month leave next year so I can live in Europe, not work unless I want to, and pursue the arts. I'm thinking of doing a lot of traveling, photography, and writing.

I think a lot of the angst people have about corporate jobs is that people think about what they are missing out on. I think it's really important to not lose sight of what you enjoy, even if you only have a few hours a week to enjoy it.
It's absolutely not an overreaction if it really happened. However, no hard evidence has been presented yet. I'm seeing screenshots and a story that anyone could have cooked up.
big american apartment building can be very lonely and isolating. No one talks to anyone. You goto work, u go home, u interact only with your tv. Bringing back the concept of a village where people gather around and eat together is a good thing.
Possibly Europeans are more interested in European news, just like Arab/Asian countries are more interested in their culture's news. I admit when their culture/ethics/religion encroaches upon Europe's, such as with this week's outrage, things get mixed up little. I'm sure the Turkish equivalent of Facebook has its own system.

I hope my sarcasm-meter was accurate when gauging your post as "sarcastic".
> Unix shells are notoriously not user friendly. The commands and their interfaces are full of insonsistencies and often really strange. Reading man pages is horror.

They're not that bad (GNU coreutils is generally pretty good) and you usually remember the edge cases fairly quickly (eg `dd`). Sadly you get inconsistencies in all coding frameworks, whether it's semantic, function names in the core libraries or whatever.

UNIX shells do have a lot of hidden gotchya's which can make life "interesting" (read: "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck" lol). But the power of being able to use reusable blocks of any language through pipelining (and to a lesser extent, exit codes) is genius. It means one can mix and match LISP, Java, Perl, Python, C++, Go all inside one shell script.

I do understand the hate towards UNIX shells. There are a lot of faults and a lot of times I I'd be halfway through writing a Bash script and then be wondering if I should have just written it in Perl or Go instead. But no tool is perfect and pragmatically I've found shells to be far more productive than anything I've ever attempted to replace it with. Which is the real crux of why we use these tools. But like anything in IT, this is just my personal preference. Your mileage may vary.

P.S. I'm constantly amazed by the number of non-JS developers that pile onto JS-related HN threads to tell us how much JS sucks. I'd like there to be less of it, it's getting a bit old. It seems like any amount of familiarity with the web, or the fact that someone once wrote a JS function sometime makes people feel entitled to weigh in on modern JS development. Look after your own communities and let us plough our own furrow ... we think lots of small modules is an interesting approach, and we'd like to see where we can get with it.

There was also a terror attack this morning that has relevant articles on the front page.

No - in this case it was clear to Apple that the warrant was not legal, which is why they chose to fight.

When warrants are clearly legal, there is nothing they can do to fight them.

They only give out the information they are legally forced to do, and are doing everything in their legal and technical power to reduce that as much as possible.

While big table can be classified as a database that can be scaled to extremely large size, I would not recommend it for the backend of a game at all.

It would be extremely expensive to run a workload like this, and would not be very performant.

This is if we are assuming a very high transaction rate, lots of concurrency and likely highly volatile data. Big table is just not really for that. Either is Dynamo. Both of these are great at giant scale multi purpose databases however.
