> Democracy is far too important to be left in the hands of the people, it would seem.

Very contradictory, and some would say elitist. Many of the problems with our democratic republic system (we don't live in a democracy) arise due to the entrenched oligarchic power structure and excessively lenient campaign finance laws, which basically give the power of the purse to corporations and executives. The people are not to blame when political parties only choose to push candidates who have wholly existed within this power structure and are completely out of touch with the needs of the country as a whole.

If a government represents its people within constraints (avoiding discrimination or prejudice and avoiding harm to people by way of a Millian criminal justice system), those people should logically be happier.

Examples: marijuana legalization, welfare, basic living income, civil liberties, non-interventionist foreign policy, checks and balances on law enforcement.

If the government couldn't be trusted with the masses, voter suppression laws would be successful at turning the tides of the country away from unrest and inequality and unhappiness. They haven't, and to suggest otherwise is a laughably elitist and ridiculous sentiment.

It's negativity, but I'm not convinced on the "gratuitous". They clearly mention the (IMHO reasonable) expectations compared to which this is negative.
My point, that I didn't articulate well, is that over time everything is going to be computing. Some day your pants will have a CPU in it. Do you not have control over your life if proprietary pants software cools your legs when it's hot?

So it seems that the definition of "what is software" has to constantly be redefined OR the whole Free Software thing becomes more and more a luddite idea.

> people that can read a CVE or parrot "best practice", but not really grok the subject or think critically about it (e.g. jumping from one password to another every 3 months isn't "more secure")

So much this.

One place I worked had a head of security that switched us to having passwords that auto-expired every 30 days, had annoying requirements (mix of upper, lower, numbers, and special characters) and not allowing reuse of a password for 1 year. The increase in people having problems was handled by having "security questions" and self-service password resets.

My insistence that "security questions" were just unexpiring, easy-to-guess passwords was met with "But this is the standard!". Pointing out that rapid turnover of hard-to-remember passwords led people to write them down generated a similar reaction.
the entity is still the same, apple, inc.
apple inc can choose how many of its shares are available on the public market, or undistributed, or distributed to existing shareholders. So assume 50% of shares are distributed (assume 500M shares for simplicity sake), they gradually buy back shares, and the outstanding shares can either be worth more or less (usually more).

In the case of Dell, Michael Dell was the largest independent shareholder, he partnered with a private equity firm to buy outstanding shares back, and then the Dell, inc. entity has to pay back the private equity firm with revenues from sales and sales of assets.
If he's not the person, somebody else should do an update.

One more tip. Finding substitutes really helps. Soda stream is awesome provided you don't add the syrups. I do 90% soda water with 10% orange juice or grape juice and I love the stuff.
Say you're computing a buffer size with untrusted inputs.

With saturated arithmetic, you could add the (unsigned) sizes together without a possibility of an overflow, so you could eliminate all except the last range check (=branch).

If the end result is larger than what is reasonable, return an error. It's not possible that the value wrapped around and later code will be writing to unallocated memory.

Just to be fair, internally we're currently using Slack. We'll be switching to Rocket Chat next week (right before we all fly to Austin to meet everyone face-to-face, so God help us there if stuff breaks). I'm relatively new, so I don't know what happened with Mattermost. I also haven't been following what we're intending to ship with in future versions, it could be both or just one, but don't quote me on that.
I'm curious, which products are you referring to? In most cases the GNU version predates the alternative by a large margin. E.g. screen vs tmux, squid vs varnish, wget vs curl, net-tools vs iproute2 etc.

Of more recent software "clones", there is guix vs nix, mcron vs vixie-cron, shepherd vs systemd, gnutls vs openssl, all high-quality implementations of good ideas.

Sure, lsh has a way to go before it's a viable alternative to OpenSSH, but I wouldn't say it's low-quality. I don't think I've come across a GNU project which felt "half-put-together", rather the opposite.

The GNU projects' motivation is very clear-cut and not at all different from e.g. the BSD camp or suckless. How are they questionable?
> It's not like botany.

Hell, even botany is complex. Every Wikipedia article I read on a plant species seems to invariably have a long section talking about various places the plant has been on the taxonomic tree at different points in time and how scientists still aren't sure where to stick it.
Same problem in IT. It's an inverse recognition problem.
> the idea that, if you can do something in 5 minutes or so, just do it rather than keep putting it on to do lists.

A small, but important part of GTD: there is a concept of a "capture system". As soon as there's something that's a TODO or task to be done and you are working on something, put it into your capture system, be it a text file, a TODO app, etc. Process the capture system regularly, filing the items into projects (can be as simple as separate TODO lists). So here's the key difference to what you mentioned: only now while you are filing, do you do those tasks that take 5 (or 2) minutes or less.

As a developer who works on my laptop most of the time, I have a global keyboard shortcut that brings up a prompt with textbox that lets me quickly something (appended to a text file) and go back to work without disrupting my flow.

I like the iterative method. Everyday look at a scale. If your weight has gone up, you did something bad the day before... don't do that again.
Like you mentioned in your article, this indeed seems to be Bruce Perens' opinion. However, notice how both Eric Raymond (on the side of open source) and Richard Stallman (on the side of free software) disagree with him.

If you listen to people like Eric Raymond, open source is all about quality. "Many eyes make all bugs shallow", etc.

If you listen to people like Richard Stallman, free software is all about users' rights: in some cases free software may be of higher quality than comparable proprietary software, but that's just a welcome side-effect -- what matters is that it respects users' rights. In this view, free software would be worthwhile even if it was technically inferior to contemporary proprietary software.

Or to put it another way: if Eric Raymond one days wakes up convinced that Open Source is technically inferior, he must drop it in order to remain consistent with his own justifications. If Richard Stallman one day wakes up convinced Free Software is technically inferior, he will remain committed to it, since technical quality was never his primary goal.

I'd say that's a pretty big philosophical difference!
Monolithic vs. Microservice

It's really important to stay hydrated, because your body often mistakes thirst for hunger. Drink water every 10m in the pool. Also, I often take a small amount of heavy protein immediately after the workout (~1/2 of one of those 33g protein bars is typical), then jump in the shower.

Between these two habits, I've killed the post-swim binge. Hope it works for you too!
I'd say learn about money, tax minimisation, investment and law as much as it pertains to helping you achieve financial freedom or if you have that already, then riches.

Another good skill is how to choose a good partner. As in spouse not business. Get this wrong and it can undo everything.

Also how to raise children well if you plan to do that. Then add estate planning and inter generational tax!

And if you have all of the above sorted then learn about a worthy cause you can help.
I agree. But it's surprisingly difficult to disseminate knowledge to this community—even to all the highly active users.
But you must admit that an 80m (~262ft or ~24 stories) wind turbine blasting off like a giant pogo stick into the sky is by far the most comical.

Maybe gravitational doesn't make sense, but compressed air might. Big compressor directly driven by the turbine (so as not to waste energy converting to electricity to turn an electric compressor motor) being used to compress normal air into large tanks inside the wind turbine tower which can later be used to spin another turbine-based generator using the same air. Not a physics major, but this seems feasible. Not sure of the potential energy storage, but I feel like the direct conversion of rotational energy to spin the pump has to be much more efficient than converting it to electricity first, then using that [many miles away] to compress air or drive a train up a mountain.

How do you reliably distinguish someone intrinsically not wanting a promotion from someone not wanting to deal with the crap that comes with trying to get a promotion?

From the abstract: "In studies 5–7, when faced with the possibility of receiving a promotion at their current place of employment or obtaining a high-power position after graduating from college, women and men anticipated similar levels of positive outcomes (e.g., prestige and money), but women anticipated more negative outcomes (e.g., conflict and tradeoffs)."

Haha. Hope machine learning students wont be equally annoyed by physicists misusing "their" tensors.
An idea that carries some weight (heh) with me is that your weight consists of four 'compartments'

Skeletal: Hard to argue that more skeletal mass is 'bad'
Muscle: Also hard to argue more is bad
Subcutaneous Fat: This is what people don't like.
Visceral Fat: This is the stuff that kills you.

If you're judging the progress of your cunning diet and exercise plan using a bathroom scale, you're going to be disappointed because muscle/skeletal mass increases.
That's what I want to but everyday feels like a burden.

>What I don't agree with is the all or nothing attitude they have. The ability to know when to compromise is crucial to working with people.

They consider nonfree software to be not merely inconvenient, but evil, a violation of fundamental human rights. Why would they ever compromise?
I would love to hear what advantages ECS has over Kubernetes. I've found that Kubernetes solves all seven of those challenges (and more – service discovery is a challenge, too!) pretty handily, and is cloud provider independent on top of that (but can have provider-dependent tie-ins where desired).

1. Cluster set up on AWS/GCP is fairly automatic. On vanilla machines it's straightforward, but involved, to install.

2. Kubernetes relies on etcd, which uses Raft, to run. It does depend on one master node to provide an API server to control the instances, though.

3. Pods have health checks, and deployments will halt if new instances fail their health checks.

4. Deployments handle rolling updates within the cluster

5. The scheduler can cordon off or drain nodes before destroying them, and new nodes can easily be added to the cluster

6. fluentd is often run in a DaemonSet for this purpose

7. kubectl makes deployment feel like playing with legos – interacting with a bunch of objects in a predictable and documented manner. In the case you laid out, for example, many rapid deployment version changes are handled gracefully by the deployment object, scaling down the old two versions and scaling up the new version.
Can you elaborate on how you only have 25% of your equity despite being a founder? Don't you fully vest on acquisition? It sounds like your vesting schedule restarted from scratch.
And since the creator of the work is willing to give it away to you for free, it cannot possibly be "piracy".

My client (who will remain unnamed) insists that I advocate for his position: Just as a work-for-hire belongs to the party who paid the creator, surely it matters that the creator signed a contract with a publisher giving up rights to distribute the work in return for invaluable services? Are you implying that the creator retains some sort of "moral right" to distribute copies of the work to whomever despite the explicit stipulations of the contract?

Grand parent's comment was about feeling ravenous during swimming, not just "hungry." Diet is not as simple as eating less food, since you are eating less, you need to make an extra effort to ensure your body is still getting what it needs.

People should really stop labeling some double standards towards men and women sexism.

The sexes are NOT the same and should not be treated the same. In fact it is quite ironic how the libertarian leaning HN crowd manages to fit the conflicting facts of just markets and wage discrimination in their collective heads.

Yes, I'm very well that they refer to philosophical differences. But they are both talking about the same damn software. Not the same philosophy, but the same software. This is something everyone agrees about, not just Bruce Perens. This is also the official position of OSI, not just Bruce Perens': that open source is just another name for free software.

It is indeed possible to withold a transaction while trying to mine it into a block

But this still doesn't provide 100% certainty that you will collect the transaction fee. You risk that other miners try to orphan the block once it is published (i.e. ignore it and build on the previous one instead) in order to put the transaction in their own block.

Shucks. I just bought eero over OnHub because the former seems to answer the multi- floor wireless solution than OnHub.

As long as the FSF controls Emacs, GCC, and coreutils they're definitely doing a little more than shouting.

Why would Hillary need to rig anything? It's been pretty obvious that she's going to win the election since the start.

Regarding the author's points, he doesn't mention anything I find particularly compelling. Most of it seems to be built on shaky logic or draws weak connections between points. If the exit polls were really that big of an issue, we'd see political analysis (aka the experts) reporting on this.

Definitely not only, but you've put your finger on an important point here: such people are far more likely to comment, making the threads a distorted image of the community.

ES6 is still somewhat more popular. It's like a lot of terms that catch on even when they're not officially accurate for what they describe (e.g. 'HTML5' covering things like WebGL) - it often pays to go with common usage.

If the end digit had matched, I suspect it would have worked out better, but with ES2015 and ES6 being equivalent, it's pretty confusing.
This is a little like asking whether observing a grain of sand is evidence that beaches can exist. (Yes, but its really not the sensible thing to ask.) The Higgs particle is to the Higgs field as the photon is to the electromagnetic field, or the electron is to the electron field. You've heard of the electromagnetic field because it's a boson and so can pile up into macroscopic amounts such that the particle granularity is negligible. (Electrons are fermions so they can't.) In principle the Higgs can do this too, but presumably the energy required to create a macroscopic Higgs field is unimaginable.
You learned half the lesson. The other half is the over-class will force the government to do whatever is needed to keep them from going bust.

My dad claimed that the biggest mistake he made financially was when Chrysler was going bankrupt in in the early eighties. He knew that it was politically impossible for the government to let Chrysler fail. However my dad didn't follow through and sock the 100k he had into Chrysler stock.

I did the same thing. I knew in January 2009 that the slide in financial stocks was over. Should have put half into Goldman Sacks half into JP Morgan. The Fed wasn't going to let Goldman Sacks and JP Morgan fail.
When an article about software, encryption, the Internet, etc. appears in Newsweek, HN is eager to rip it apart and deconstruct the laughably naive way the author presents these complex systems. HN is quick to point out how the author's numerous forms of severe technical ignorance preclude anything resembling a correct description of the problem, obscure critical facts about the situation, and prevent the reader from drawing any valid conclusions.

When an article about neurosurgery appears in Newsweek, however, everyone has a strong opinion on whether it's a good idea.

Certainly both responses happen. I've noticed I tend to have a delayed reaction and get hungrier later, then eat a whole day's calories in a sitting without even trying. Regardless, there are all kinds of ways to help suppress appetite, and if exercise is having this affect for you, alternating with other methods can allow you to delay and/or reduce eating.
