That's certainly one pretty-sounding possibility. Another is that it is a zero sum game, or, more likely, somewhere between that and a 1-for-1 game where the product manager and above realizes most of the gains.
Yes, IPFS was just an example.

Also IPFS is being developed as a basic layer. Since it is open, we may expect many independent developers to provide things like access control, and a POSIX API on top of it.

>What you said, up there, is basically that some owner in the distant past could make a contract with an HOA that, despite the property changing hands, grants the HOA some power over that property forever.

>What on earth kind of freedom is that? If I want to buy a house that some previous owner inducted into an HOA, and I don't want to join the HOA, why should I have to?

Do you disagree with the concept of someone owning mineral rights and someone else owning the land for the same piece of property?
To the people replying to this comment, he's not talking about the ads not being able to use the users location. Most don't. But plenty of ad networks don't work properly or the CPM is much lower for HTTPS enabled websites. I'm guessing r1ch is using a users' locations for his site, and it's ad supported. Hope everyone who is against ads is willing to pay for their content from now on!

Isn't procrastination a way of converting painfully boring tasks into fun adrenaline rushes? It seems like a pretty good evolutionary adaption: I perform better when all my senses are elevated, so why not?

I'll say pen and paper for sketching too, for it is the fastest tool to use, no need to chase the object you'll draw, or search for where to modify the font. You think and you draw, the quickest possible. But then I'd move it to a digital platform because there it's easier to manipulate a schema that you already have. Though up until this day I haven't done that. However for emacs users there is the builtin artist mode and for others who don't want to use emacs there's a program that is capable of sketches and flow charts via a script input, but I don't recall the name, sorry.

In general I usually jot down whatever comes to my mind and try to structure it all later, or on the way witg intervals. It's hard to think in a schematic way. So I'll have my notebook and pen, and write whatever comes to my mind asynchronously, that is I won't wait for the next thought. If I'll present my idea to someone else, I ll try to have at hand a schema and some notes both as brief and as clear as possible and I'll skip details for not making premature commitments.
I thought the same thing at first, but then I read this. We're talking us regular folks getting maybe an hour of exercise. If you're an athlete you're getting WAY WAY more so it makes sense that you're burning off calories like mad.
>A root cause seems to be that everyone with the aptitude for security crowds toward jobs that don't actually involve implementing good security.

To expand on this, I've also noticed that "security" in enterprise-size companies tends to be a dumping ground for helpdesk+ staff -- 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"). It's been my experience that people in security teams can't implement the fixes to the things they complain about because if you're a security-minded dev, your career path will be in dev.

>It's not as fun to be a developer that is really into security but only have that be part of your job.

I think it would be ideal to have security as a parallel track to regular dev staff -- with their placement in the ecosystem being between dev and QA. Much like how "devops" was used as a hiring filter to have sysadmins that can at least read code, I think we should have a "devsec" group that bridges security-QA and dev.

Eating 4000 calories of anything will make you fat.
I'm sad that this seems like such a novel idea.

The only time a "firing" should come as a surprise to an employee is when they are being laid off as part of a restructuring (this is unfortunately the only practical way to do it).

Any time an employee is not meeting performance expectations, their manager should be communicating the gap to them early and often. At some point, these discussions should be getting more and more explicit to make it clear that their continued employment is at risk. Some people will change their behavior and make a turn-around. Some will see the writing on the wall and leave of their own accord (usually those with more maturity/perspective, and those who have other options). Some people will hang on to the last and leave fingernail marks on the door frame -- but they should never be able to say that it was a surprise.
Technical Infosec guys can fix vulnerable dependencies themselves and use the tests Bob writes (right?) to make sure they don't break anything. Only need to bug Bob when there is a breaking change and you prioritize it with Bobs PM.

Also passwords are dumb - Bob should use certs and or ssh keys and 2fa to access anything.

The point is that any security that hinges on hassling Bob is likely bad security.
Not if you burn those same 4000 calories a day.
It's been a while since I've put anything in an Elsevier journal, but iirc they still do the review. They just organize it though, basically the way it works is that they have a pool of reviewers who are known field experts that they choose from. Reviewers are not paid though, so ithat doesn't cost them much.

It used to be that they put a lot more effort into editing and typesetting for print, but they don't do nearly as much nowadays. You just send them your TeX file and if something is wrong they tell you to fix it.
My feedback regarding the writing would be that the presentation is more like a talk with a slide deck. In my opinion, the style of presentation detracts and distracts from the written content.

Open plan offices are another sign of this. They exist to foster status effects that go hand in hand with the modern shift to intensive pursuits of rent seeking. As a developer if you're asked to work in non-private conditions, it's a huge signal most of the time that your actual productivity isn't important.
So that's an interesting long read, I guess all the details end up making sense. Some physical activity in addition to calorie counting and other behavioral changes is the best way to go. The most important thing a person can do is to limit calories in a way they like and can sustain, and focus on eating more healthfully.

Don't expect to be able to exercise enough to lose much weight.

If you live in a city with a University, like Toronto, check out getting a library card to their library system. It costs me $300 / year and it's unlimited research papers. The only downside is that it is retrievable in person only, so you kinda need to be either close to the University or keep a list of papers you need before you make the trek out.
Chapter 162 – Profit, Wealth and Your Desire Part – 5
This is seriously a big deal for the storage industry! Basically what you have created is something in high demand, yet lacking in the storage industry because of its complexity.

What I've read so far is that this is a storage solution that seamlessy integrates several storage technologies, including your own. This storage layer will have cross platform clients, using Fuse and Dokany with user sessions per client managed by your Infinit Storage Service. The end-users do not have to learn a new technology/user-interface and just get an external hard drive. Very similar to how Bitcasa works, with the exception that you give the power of the actual storage architecture to the system administrators. This mean we can freely choose our own storage cluster, for example Ceph or Infinit's own.

And as you plan to release this has open source, you allow a lot of new businesses to grow which together will manage to challenge Dropbox, Amazon, Azure and so on.

For the last few months I have been working on building a Dokany client that used Ceph Rados-GateWay with Erasure Coding. Where I live we have really fast fiber internet with extremely low latency. Dokany is really performant and can easily manage to read/write 30-80MS/s between two clients living in Norway and Denmark(same ISP). It's a lot of work though, and there are several corner cases that causes issues. However if I scrap mine and start using your technology, I can take advantage of your great work and I can contribute back mine to make it even better. My final point being, with this it should possible to offer high performance "remote drives" to end-users. In some cases maybe even faster than an external hard drive. A partnership with a local ISP could offer them a great incentive to use this technology to sell even faster internet access to their existing customers. The best part, this traffic is inside their own network which means less money has to be paid for internet bandwidth. I know my ISP is desperate for something like this, and I guess a lot of other ISP's around the world is highly interested in offering something similar too.

Cycling an hour each day is also hard for most people.
I spent 10+ years doing contract software work, and several of my friends work for contracting firms, and I have seen this pathology a lot.

Don't stay up until 2AM working on your contracting firm's projects. Don't personalize contract assignments. Don't act for your firm's clients like you're their full-time employee: you aren't. Don't assume clients are OK with you coming in super late because that's what programmers do: many aren't OK with that.

There are some really great things about working for contracting firms: you get a W2 and benefits and mostly all the downside risk protection of an employee while getting exposed to all the random projects a consultancy gets. You get to dip your toes into lots of different projects. And when you get sick of a certain kind of project, often, you can easily no-harm no-foul switch to other projects. Contracting firms can be great.

But if you try to treat a contracting firm the way you would a startup or tech product company, things are going to suck for you. In particular: you must force yourself to deliver a day's worth of work and then put things down. If you're compulsive and need to work late into the night, stop doing client work, and switch to personal projects.

Contracting firms usually can't bill for your 2AM binge coding session. Clients generally want to pay for work done during business hours on a well-defined schedule. It does not matter that you believe that's not how software is delivered; it's how software is bought. If you run yourself ragged refactoring things until late in the evening, your contracting firm isn't going to be impressed with you: they're going to see, from 1000 miles away, that you're burning yourself out pointlessly in a manner that isn't going to make them an extra penny, and they're going to get pissed.
My spidy sense is tingling, but I can't place my finger on it.

I had not heard of Pillar before, and really still have no opinion of them now.

I think the author needs to take a few months off and get his life in check before getting a new job, and perhaps remove himself from social media.
Agree fully. The responsible thing to do is to give people as much advance warning as possible that things are not working out, so that it's ultimately in their hands. As I said in another comment, the sad part is that it's so rare for it to be done correctly. This should be the baseline.
Under one heading, the do specifically call out elite athletes, "whose job is exercising" as a potential exception.

It's also true that many endurance athletes are pretty careful about what they eat. My brother, who was a pretty good high school and college runner (5ks and 10ks especially), used to say he had a high body fat for a runner because he ate ice cream. His BMI? Maybe 20, 21 at most, and he was lifting weights back then.

Hi greggh, the Python private beta is in good shape and will be announced in the next coming weeks. On our current road map we also have NodeJS, PHP and Java - but there is more to come!
There is no conflict of interest in you applying to YC IMO. The YC company is likely being self serving here and your job is to look out for your own interests.

That said, there is another option that people aren't mentioning, and that is that their self serving interests may actually be somewhat aligned with your own. Having been through YC they understand the time commitment and the level of effort needed to go through it, the good and bad. They may be concerned about your ability to keep servicing them as they need and growing with them quick enough. So while self serving, it might not be because they want to hold you down, but are worried you won't be able to live up to your commitments with them. If you can grow organically, and not take (or delay) outside investment because you have paying clients you are better off too.

In the end, regardless of their reasoning you have to do what you feel is best for your team. If that means applying to YC do it. But I wouldn't do it without being up front and having a talk with the YC company. Ask them to give you their reasoning why you shouldn't apply, get their side. Maybe they are willing to fund you, beyond just paying for product/services. Help them see that your team being stronger is not bad for them, but a benefit. Even if their eye is on acquisition, they may be willing to fund you to keep your focus, after all they'd be basically paying themselves in the end. Outside of SV a lot of companies work this way, you have a strong partnership with a larger firm but you are small, so many times the larger firm will help keep you afloat in various ways to make sure they are taken care of. Yes you have to manage expectations properly, but it is quite successful a lot of times (like anything though, it can be tragically unsuccessful too).

Even if your goal is to pursue Angle/VC funding, you need to realize it becomes almost a full time job for 1 person (and both partners should be pitching), and might take you the better part of 6-12 months to make the necessary contacts, work them and get in front of enough people to get funded. So again, their concern might be you team being so small and not having the resources to keep them moving and get funding. If you have the contacts already then you are still looking at 3-6 months at minimum, assuming you have traction -- IMO.

No matter what, good luck and congrats on your growth!

The Way We Build
Does anyone actually still think that the extra energy consumption caused by exercise will cause you to lose weight and not just eat more?

A more contemporary discussion would include the idea that the different state of being caused by exercise causes less food intake ... which incidentally is true for me personally.

It is entirely possible that people that exercise regularly never have any trouble with their weight and thus never show up in these studies.
I also thought the same thing. The article didn't really address the point specifically, if you are highly active most of the day you will burn a substantial amount of calories. Some people maintain weight while consuming 4000+ calories per day, for example on long hiking trips or long distance running.

I'm not sure about the hunter gatherer example. That was interesting. Maybe they are in much better shape and can be active a large portion of the day without expending much more energy. Or simply, the activity isn't extremely high-level.

That totally depends on the position.

> It you a eat a lot of fat you will get fat too. Its all about moderation. If you eat 4000 calories of FAT everyday you will get fat

Calories-in-calories-out without considering the hormones that drive both satiety and crucially fat-storage-vs-fat-mobilization (and thus drive both how many calories are craved and how many are burned) is misguided. CICO isn't wrong, but for all practical purposes what drives CICO in real life are those hormones, which are in turn affected by the ratio of fats and carbs in diet: chiefly insulin and leptin. How those are affected by 4000kcal-of-carbs-low-fat (badly) vs 4000kcal-of-fat-no-carbs (benign/beneficially) is easy to find out.

4000kcal of fat and low carbs, if one could stomach it for years, after a few weeks of keto-adaptation? They'd be a tad little bit fatter than they'd like, and feel profusely hot and sweaty. As their leptin and insulin sensitivity gets ever-better, 4000kcal will soon become impossible to stomach, however. 4000kcal of carbs and low fat for years, just become obese and get metabolic syndrome.
One of my trainers once said... I'm helping you for 1 hour a day, you have 23 other hours to ruin it all.

I don't understand their logic. If "for X in" gets rid of many cases where overflow checking might hurt performance, what is the argument for disabling it (by default) in release builds, in a language that aims to be safe? Do they think it is that important to win benchmarks run with default compiler flags?

Also, I expect Rust will still do bounds checking, and would guess many of the cases where the release build removes checks for overflow will now require some extra out of bounds checks: those for negative indices.
