No problem! I think it's a really interesting product, and the general problem of giving people a way to vent about their problems has a ton of potential.

There's a lot of good advice and ideas in other comments in the thread. Good luck with it!
Autonomous weapons: Decisions to kill and destroy are a human responsibility
Google Network and SSDs offer an order of magnitude more performance / price. Disks and Storage are about 2 times fast. Booting is 5 times fast.

Not just the performance, all Google Cloud services are fully managed (Think of S3 and Lambda on AWS). No servers! On AWS, only a couple of services are fully managed. Rest of them are a thin layer on top of EC2. If AWS is DevOps, Google Cloud is NoOps.

Careful with that; it's the no true scotsman fallacy. The sad thing is that these people are, in fact, True Americans.
Wow. There is just so much in this article to wrap one's head around. I feel somewhat ashamed that I've never really thought about moderators at all, much less of the psychological and emotional effects they must endure as a result of the content they must see. I know it's work I wouldn't want to perform. I'm grateful for this investigation and report. There's a ton to unpack and think through.
Don't use it. It's an antipattern and an awful meme.
I think this is reasonable deterrence. The accuser should be asked to get off the plane, and remain with the authorities, till such a time as the accused is allowed to leave or is taken into custody.
No, once they say 'okay you can leave' I consent to the search and proceed to make my flight. If I'm challenging anything it's the idea that I can't leave until the search is complete.
Thanks for the response! I see what you mean, the best we could do for your situation is filter out recruiters I suppose.
Did the SA employees even have authority to remove him from the plane without the police?
Spacemacs uses a "layers" feature which sort of groups together different packages from all over the emacs ecosystem into somewhat cohesive all-inclusive-packages. Things like layers for specific languages which would include syntax hilighting, code completion, snippets, etc...

Generally, this makes things super convenient for you. It takes a fraction of the effort and research to get a new language or feature going.

It also means that if you need something different from the defaults, it's another thing to learn how to modify a layer to suit your needs (not as simple as I had hoped). Also, if the package you want isn't available as a layer, you have to create your own custom layer for it. This gets you trying to think about organizing your packages, which while maybe useful, can be a big time sink too.

Using it for about 3 months now, it's quickly become my go-to editor. I'm very happy with the defaults provided by spacemacs layers, and haven't yet felt the need to modify them much. I did look into it once and got scared away. All the customizations I've made are in regard to Emacs defaults themselves, and fit nicely into my .spacemacs file.

Learning emacs and vim from decades old documentation is quite a journey. Keep an eye out for Stackoverflow answers. They tend to be the most up to date and relevant.
Hard disk drive manufacturers hate him
Definitely agree with you! I tried stumbleupon and similar sites already, i'll probably get a user a day from them or similar, not the best way to promote the site, but it helps.

As for trolls and people looking for sexual talks, there's a report button when you end a conversation which actually works - contrary to most sites. Thanks for the advice, i'll definitely appreciate it!
The linked article says they already determined "What to do with the “rm -rf” hoax question". What the article is asking is what to do with the fake internet points.
>That's not what you said originally though. You said that the Navy or Marine Corps would be forced to use Air Force facilities.

Yes... and if there's no naval base near the theater you're interested in, then...? We're not fighting wars in San Diego.

>And there can be an air field within striking distance of Afghanistan, if necessary, as I'm sure you know. A CVN or an LHA.

You know better than that. You're not going to base A-10s on a ship.
Submissions need to be a bit more organic. :)

I like that it disappeared from the front page, or never showed up, because it means HN's voting ring detector is working very well. Kind of amusing.

I'm sure it'll pop up sometime, though.
P2W is pay to win. I had to google it too. But basically, requiring IAP in order to win -- not possible (or maybe extremely difficult) to win without making some in-app purchase(s).

Thank you! I'll be checking out moz and inboud.org, hadnt heard of them. Will definitely make some SEO work. Thanks for the advice!
I do not know where you live, so your exposure to the actual wilderness might be limited, but if you had any real exposure, you would know that without big predators (like wolves in the northern part of the world) or hunting, the herbivores would bread to use all the available resources they can get.

Yes, ecosystems (that is, set of different species including plants) self regulate themselves, but species try to maximize their numbers. If their numbers get too big, they starve and by some unlucky coincidences, they my become extinct due to resource exhaustion.

I actually hope that humans would be better in this.
Put the last opened time on the initial authorization response.

We could go round and round like this. Give me a concrete use case, because for the life of me I can't come up with one that isn't simply superfluous chrome.
With stow you can have just one git repo for all of your dotfiles instead of one per host if there are differences. Then you can just install the host specific dotfiles from the stow directory.
Developing small JavaScript components WITHOUT frameworks
Yep. Just install the samba/nfs/iscsi/other networking daemon and off you go. About the only thing to keep in mind is that you are going to need to configure the daemon before you use it to ensure that it's not listening on your WAN address, because you probably don't wanna have your files visible to all and sundry.
If we're going to speculate, let's go ahead and flip the hypothetical. So you're on the plane with your kid, and a passenger freaks out because they overheard a scrap of a conversation in a language they don't speak.

Security takes that very seriously, so of course they get everyone off the plane. You, along with every other passenger, are separately questioned about your activities, politics, and religious beliefs. Your carry on and checked luggage are both searched carefully. Your kid is interrogated to make sure that you're not lying about being their guardian, and that your stories add up.

Of course, they find nothing. There are no terrorists on the plane (although a couple of teenagers are arrested for failing a breathalyzer test). But out of an abundance of caution, the airline elects to cancel the flight, and bar you all from further travel with them for 24 hours. You're refunded your original ticket price, of course, with no hard feelings!

Does that still seem like a reasonable response to you? Or is it only when you're not subject to it that draconian security measures are an appropriate way to deal with a ludicrous imagined threat?
Glad to hear that! 100% Free :-). And no 3rd party servers involved. Our goal is really just to improve email as much as we can. In the future we will most likely offer premiums for things like tracking emails, getting more involved contact info etc for sustainability but our primary goal doesn't involve profit.
A twin study to look for a potential common cause between poverty and poor food selection might yield interesting results.
AWS has more services but they also come out with improvements and newer services much more often than GCC. GCC/GCE is very exciting but AWS is miles head right now. Open source libraries and documentation available for AWS in a wide range of languages is reason alone for a lot of people to prefer it over Google's.
(You're probably already aware of this but just in case you're not...) HN restricts the timing of replies deeper into conversations, sometimes annoying but it suppresses flame wars and what-have-yous.
Ask HN: I've made a huge mistake; working in tech is killing me
I have been depressed my whole life. Recently, I've been doing some serious work getting it under control. I've hit the major points: diet, exercise, and sleep; I now experience true enjoyment on a weekly basis. However, it has thrown into relief how miserable I am as a tech worker.

I never graduated college. It was simply unnecessary for my getting a job. At my current startup, I am surrounded by people interested in "shiny" new technologies or experiences rather than solving problems well and going home to enjoy those experiences. At first I thought my dysphoria was related to this culture fit, but I'm realizing the underlying problems are endemic: I think the tech industry is actively misanthropic. There is this implicit belief in progress, in particular that tech represents some inherent advancement for the human race. To some extent I agree; however, for every positive thing tech enables (e.g. space exploration), there are hundreds destroying people's lives: think Uber rapes, Uber's bait-and-switch driver policy (have a loan! Oh we're paying you less next month, btw. Hey you got that loan payment?), industrial food production, global warming, resource exhaustion, increased work hours, increased mental illness, the illusion of enjoyment via Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc; I enjoy some of the content, but most of it is wasting my time and making me miserable. I now consider smartphones as a whole to be a mistake and an epidemic of addiction as bad as any drug. Clearly, I do not belong in silicon valley; SF feels like Mordor if Sauron peddled crack mansions. The future makes me physically panic.

However, voicing these concerns will get eye rolling at best. At worst, it is taboo and people start looking for exit signs. Were I to leave my job, I have nothing on my resume that could get me hired in another industry. I have no other goals in my life, career-wise, and I am painfully aware that software is eating the world. How can I escape?
It's unlikely for evolution to produce such a communication mechanism as it involves non-local refactorings. Under that constraint, and assuming efficiency is selected for, they will reserve shorter symbols for more common concepts and end up with something like Zipf's Law (but again, not a global optimum).

Now, if they were intelligent, they would (as we do) come up with highly compressed encoding schemes that would have no apparent patterns to an outsider, except perhaps control signals at the start and end. But if they wanted to be heard by aliens, they would avoid using obscuring mechanisms like compression.
I don't have any experimental data, but my mental models pull up:

1) chucking a chicken bone into an insinkerator vs a penny.

2) a hunk of wood vs a hunk of wood with a nail through a wood chipper.

"Toy airplane seen near passenger plane" doesn't bring in the ad views.
Honestly I would not be very surprised if Mr. Trudeau's PR team pulled it off.
I've been a software tourist dozens of times. Even have a Google Voice mailbox just for software salesman to blackhole into.

I'm just curious about stuff. I want to play with the trial, read the manual, see the data sheets and whitepapers, etc. But your stupid website demands my contact information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and if you'd just let me at the damn PDFs I wouldn't.
this reminds me of that white guy that was tweeting up a storm getting on a plane with his leatherman pocket knife thing and also exchanging lolstories with other white people about getting through airport security with questionable items.
That does not work for me. When I try "stow foo/bar" I get this error:

Undefined subroutine &main::error called at /usr/bin/stow line 568, <DATA> line 18.

where line 568 of /usr/bin/stow is:

error("Slashes are not permitted in package names");

What version of stow do you have? I'm using stow 2.2.0-r2 on Gentoo Linux.

So he's on a UC Berkeley debate team? From my experience, that's not as hateful an anti-American group as the San Francisco State debate team, or the Towson debate team, or the Binghampton or Bard debate team, but pretty close. I can see why the UC paper would think that makes the airlines look worse, but pro-genocide arguments like the following are quite normal and accepted at these kind of debate programs:

Hmm; his public figure point is a little dangerous. Defamation / libel protections are generally less for public figures (you have to prove malice).
It's extra tough to know what to do on that situation if you don't know the provenance of the timestamp, because there are some programs that output timestamps formatted like a POSIX TZ, but with the opposite sign convention.
Shouldn't there be a control group, with a task not involving food, to see if the issue is food-related, or generally with impulse control? Maybe ask them to do some boring task they were told was important, but have Facebook, TV,sports or some other distraction immediately available too. I suspect the same people who had trouble with controlling food intake would also have trouble with other self control or delayed gratification tasks.

> As is too often the case, the details of what transpired are lost

And yet you hold a strong opinion on the basis of nothing.

You self righteous naive children ought to have your irony detectors fixed.
> Survival of the fittest on Earth is worth nothing if the fittest die as well.

I'm not sure what are you saying here. The "fittest" are the ones who don't die (before reproducing).
> This is kind of a long-winded thread about two sentences from 'dang ... not sure how much value is left in continuing it further.

in all fairness this is a 'long winded' thread about two sentences from my gp.. hence my continued interest in discussion

> whether someone chooses to use 'censorship', 'moderation', or 'curation' depends on how they view the subject at hand.

with this, i agree

> the difference may have more to do with whether you like a particular instance of it or not.

with this, i agree

> "Censorship" is a pejorative and "curation" is an honorific and "moderation" is either that or neutral.

with this, i disagree

i read that as 'censorship is a pejorative', but you are suggesting i read it as 'censorship is usually a pejorative'

i agree that one can call an act of censorship by name to draw attention to thaer contempt for it, but if i note something is censorship, and someone responds by saying, 'that is pejorative' i am going to question that person's bias
This thread happens like every month. Developers sure spend a lot of time thinking about how they install their dotfiles.
Yes, Google Cloud offers IAM. I find it easier to use than AWS IAM. Google Cloud IAM gives you curated roles, hierarchy of resources and thus is easier to use.

Yes, Google Cloud can manage secrets for you. For example, you can spin up an instance and let Google Cloud handle SSH key creation, copying it to instance, auto-rotating it periodically, deleting it when a user is removed from project, connecting to services from Cloud instances is taken care for you.

LOL for that EDIT. But you should be more clear as to where you stand on transgender and those people who have non-binary gender identity. Besides by using the term little are you doubting the capacity of big people ? Besides to ensure a safe space on HN you should not use the word "green" it is offensive to some.
can't tell if you're trolling.
One of the nice things this does is give the browser's "reader mode" a hint where the next page is. And it's great. Only problem is, publishers seem to have no interest in helping the reader mode. On the contrary, many seem hell-bent on defeating its content detection algorithm, etc, to make it useless so we all look at their stupid ads.
An interesting part of this article is the mention of Lucera, a startup company that handles interconnections between companies inside the NY4 data center:

"A startup called Lucera is one of them. The company operates something like a telecom within the data center by using software to interconnect the banks, exchanges, and investment firms that have servers at NY4."

Note that Lucera is not a typical VC-backed startup:

"Lucera is a privately held, New York based firm launched with initial backing from Cantor Fitzgerald, a leading global financial services firm and active Lucera customer."[1]

The three founders/officers of Lucera are all former Cantor Fitzgerald employees.[1]

The core idea of that novel was so ridiculously alien and interesting, couldn't put it down when I first read it.

Fantastic book, great hard sci fi.

His rifters trilogy was decent too, got a bit wacky in the last 2 books but still a fun read
Why don't they just shoot them down when they approach airports? Seems like a much more measured and appropriate response than "no drones anywhere without documents".

I find Google Cloud miles ahead of AWS. AWS does not play well with open source services. Google on other hand embraces OpenSources (Google OpenSourced Kubernetes, Dataflow, TensorFlow, MagLev the load balancer, integration with OpenStack ... ). This reduces your risk of vendor lock-in. I have not seen AWS OpenSoruce a single Cloud service.
It's not so much poor food selection as poor access to quality and affordable food. You can eat for a lot longer on $10 if you're buying things on the McDonald's dollar menu than if you're buying fresh produce at Safeway or giant.
And do you think that somebody who packs his drone with C4 and aims it at passenger aircraft is going to care if he is violating a flightpath? Forbidden is not the same as impossible.

Here it's used as a rhetorical device, "true Americans" is an appeal to our sense of national identity. Be careful identifying fallacies by the superficial qualities they have, pay attention to the context where phrases are used.

What's another few thousand years? People haven't been taking Genesis literally since at least Origen's day (~200 AD).

---

For who that has understanding will suppose that the first, and second, and third day, and the evening and the morning, existed without a sun, and moon, and stars? and that the first day was, as it were, also without a sky? And who is so foolish as to suppose that God, after the manner of a husbandman, planted a paradise in Eden, towards the east, and placed in it a tree of life, visible and palpable, so that one tasting of the fruit by the bodily teeth obtained life? and again, that one was a partaker of good and evil by masticating what was taken from the tree? And if God is said to walk in the paradise in the evening, and Adam to hide himself under a tree, I do not suppose that anyone doubts that these things figuratively indicate certain mysteries, the history having taken place in appearance, and not literally.

The problem with framing things in terms of "privilege" is that it creates a race to the bottom.

No, it's a damned right to not be disassembled, scrutinized, and groped just to move about. Instead of nipping at the people whose rights are being violated the least, recognize that you're both fundamentally trying to help the people whose rights are being violated the most.
And here I thought some of my content would see the front page.

That is a great article. I just strictified the cheeky shell scripts that automate deployment of my current project.
> What then struck me was the way he casually decided to hack a VPN

He's intentionally vague, but given he mentions two routers and two vpn systems, it's highly probable that he's referring to one of the two routers (which is embedded, and has firmware).
Furthermore, he refers to a website[1] which predominately deals with routers.

> is it really so straightforward?

Routers, yes[2], VPN daemons, not as much.

Alex St. John says, "Don’t be in the game industry if you can’t love all 80 hours/week of it — you’re taking a job from somebody who would really value it."

Sadly, this mentality is pervasive in the games industry. It's why game developers are treated so poorly (in terms of compensation, perks, and overall mental well-being) compared to their counterparts in other software development spheres.

As much as I want to say that Alex St. John is an asshole, at least he's being honest about his disgusting opinions. Most of the higher-ups in gamedev just lie or pretend that things aren't as bad as they are.

Arrow  – Elegant JSON Parsing in Swift
The explanation that first leapt into my mind (as someone who grew up poor and is now not-poor BTW) didn't seem to be considered. For some kids, snacks are a luxury. For others, they're an unremarkable part of the background. This is going to make a huge difference in people's responses, but not as a matter of hunger vs. satiety. There's a whole different part of the brain associated with status and self-image; I'll bet that's the part that lights up differently for the once-poor vs. never-poor. An fMRI should shed some good light on the matter.
They assert a lot of control over their aircraft. Page 15:

Were I to leave my job, I have nothing on my resume that could get me hired in another industry

You don't say what it is you do as a "tech worker", but regardless, whatever it is there are similar positions doing it outside of the tech industry. Every industry employs developers, support, project managers, product managers, admin, etc. And here's a little known fact: the majority of those industries not only pay better than the average outside of the valley, but the jobs are less stressful and less filled with 'tech bro' idiots.

My advice would be to get in touch with a recruitment agent who specialises in an industry that isn't tech.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. So you're just using time that they've already wasted by your arriving at the airport hours early.

I just assert myself during the process, but leave escalation up to them (like the time some goon-manager decided to re-search me after I was already in the process of reassembling myself).

BTW what do they say happens if they find drugs during one of the pat-downs? Since you mentioned SFO, have you found the answers/process/etc varies between there and TSA airports?
