I didn't even work during undergrad CS and that was the most stressful point in my life. I easily put in 40-50 hours a week between classes, studying, problem sets and projects.

The months before, during and after interview season were the worst. I had to add 10 hours a week to study 1-2 months beforehand. Then during the interview season, I had to miss classes to go on 7 hour east to west coast flights, with return flights landing at 3 AM local time. After the interviewing season ended, there were mountains of work from missing classes and neglecting school work.

Now it's 10 AM - 7:30 PM (including meal time, I never eat at my desk) with free breakfast, lunch and dinner with no deadlines to worry about. During the undergrad years, I was studying by memorizing the answers to all permutations of a problem because of stress and multiple deadlines a week, but now I have the time to understand the how's and why's of the questions and answers.

Also the money that can effectively be used buy time is nice. I can afford to pay people to fix my toilet/unclog my sink/build IKEA furniture/etc. and have the money to order grocery delivery/drop-off laundry/take-out/etc.
Yeah, Iran being a bad boy when Saudi Arabia isn't is one thing I never got.

It doesn't happen everywhere.

I work for Pivotal. In my first month I took a train from NYC to Philadelphia to take a weekend course I was interested in. I left the office at 6pm sharp, when we close. At 7pm the train pulled out of the station. I was bored, so I opened my laptop and logged into my work email.

I bounced a few emails back and forth with client devs, who will still in their office. Then at 8pm I closed my laptop and continued merrily on my way.

On the following Monday I was told, in no uncertain terms, to never work after hours again.

The latest I've worked in the office is 6.30pm. Because I thought I'd broken our public cloud. By 6.15pm I had multiple people wandering up and asking why I was still working.

We just now introduced pager duty for teams with operational dependencies. And the policy is: if you have a reason not to answer, then don't.

I am constantly amazed at what people will put up with. Really amazed.
I have posted both Standard Resume [0] and Amplitude [1]. Neither received much feedback or traffic from Hacker News, but Standard Resume was added to Product Hunt [2] by someone else and got substantial traffic and signups.

Standard Resume now has over 15k users and is still growing with only minor updates and fixes based on feedback. It doesn't make any money.

If this was intended to be a troll post, it was very successful.

What you are advocating is, essentially, linguistic and cultural genocide. It's an appalling point of view.

In all seriousness, I would suggest you learn another language, or maybe several, and then revisit your perspective.

I shared Cachet [0] 551 days ago, it's an open source alternative to the likes of StatusPage.io and Status.io. It's now used around the world by hundreds if not thousands of companies and I'm always seeing comments on others such as "I wish you could do X like Cachet." which is really cool.

I've made money only by selling an installation service, which is about £1k. I have further plans, but nothing more to add.

There's a lot of stuff in Rust that makes such types manageable. Also, such types should always be expressed as:

struct MyFancySharedThing<T> {
thing: Rc<RefCell<T>>
}

Rc and RefCell are implementation details and should _always_ be hidden.

I went to a Montessori Kindergarten as a child. I think it was good, but I do not remember much anymore. I remember all the toys and other things that taught me reading, counting, fine motor skills etc.
You still haven't showed any convincing argument why Facebook "hurts freedom", at least systemically.

The bubbles of these gigantic social networks and the closed walled-gardens are bad for sure, but Zuckerberg isn't the one that gets to decide what can or not be said, and surely he is not the one persecuting anyone with dissenting views, and much less he has a monopoly on how information can be shared, which would allow him to control people that could spread any kind of information that doesn't align with "Uncle Sam's interests".

> "If both of them hurts "freedom", the one that brings more prosperity is better."

That is a false equivalence (the kind of damage to Freedom is not the same), and still does not show how WeChat benefits "most if not all" Chinese. Even if you reduce to the pure economic argument, you would still have to show that the people not working for WeChat wouldn't be working for Facebook or any other competitor in case China had an open economy.
I came here to say this. For years I thought of setting up something to automatically record and catalog the shows, and sadly it's too late now.

Has anyone found an online source for full archived shows?

Surely someone somewhere has them saved...
That's quite surprising, given how different the methods are. What about a control group that received no schooling?
It's good to understand what is happening behind the scenes, but you can shoot yourself in the foot in so many ways building your own CA. Please use a tool like

Modern economy is inflationary. No growth equals shrinking.
Every time I come home from a mind-numbing eight-hour Scrum meeting, I feel frustrated for having accomplished absolutely nothing. Then I realise that this is what school was like, every single day.

I'm sure some people prefer to be force-fed instead of learning on their own, but self-organised schools as in the OP should at least be an option for people who know what they want.
To me it seems the other way around.

For years now, we have a nice open platform for everyone (-> the Web) and people can do >99% of the stuff they need and it gets more every day. Then there are <1% of special cases that need native app functionallity.

I've found my best chance at tricking myself into working is using my procrastination as a tool. Whenever I feel like not coding I go and write some documentation, work on some design or groom tickets. This is my equivalent of students cleaning their dorms instead of learning for exams.

I've seen this technique somewhere exploited even further, by tricking yourself into working in "forced mode" on something completely secondary, while resting when working on the important stuff.
StartEncrypt moving to ACME protocol
I agree, but I didn't know any such solution while developing it. I'll probably switch to a client-side templating library.
I don't think GK hates anyone or anything but I remember the day I completely lost interest in PHC: it was the day an interview ran and the intro explained Garrison lives in NYC.

The thing is sometimes there's not much distance between an homage and a satire. Fred Armisen's Portlandia is a good example of a show that wobbles between gently poking fun and outright mean-spirited mockery.

Once I learned all the Prarie Home Companion episodes were written from New York City it became much easier to see some of those skits as GK laughing at Lake Woebegone residents rather than with them.
I would think for small purchases of products <$80 if you have sufficiently answered they're questions in the product descriptions and/or your navigation is good enough for them to find what they are looking for you might not need it. I would use the opportunity to see if your meeting the needs of your traffic and if not what you could offer that they're looking for and/or answer questions on product descriptions and shipping pages etc for questions they have.
Multidimensional Relations, Flat Tables and Logical-Physical Confusion
Just because it takes more time does not mean the process is fundamentally different.
Great to hear that, because I was ( still am ) skeptical about any government legislation these days.
I did a "Show HN" for my open source project SocketCluster http://socketcluster.io/ almost 2 and a half years ago and it got front page - Since then, I (and some cofounders) created a realtime service on top of SocketCluster https://baasil.io/. The plan is now to turn it into a scalable deployment service for realtime single-page apps.

SocketCluster itself gets between 6K and 10K downloads per month - Almost all of these are direct downloads. Some big soccer/football leagues websites use SC to broadcast results of matches in realtime, also, some education startups and some bitcoin/trading startups are using it too.

A lot has changed but I've stuck to the core mission and the project just keeps evolving to adapt to changing technologies. In terms of monetization, finding a market fit has been a slow process; ironically because underlying technologies have been moving so quickly that I didn't want to commit to the wrong tech. Recently, we have been really excited about Docker, Kubernetes and other container/orchestration software and are doing cool stuff with them.

For a while I was worried that technology would evolve in ways which would make SC irrelevant (and it looked like this for a while) but over the past couple of months it seems that the opposite is starting to happen and it looks like all the pieces are actually starting to fit together.

Yes, there are definitely some children that this method of teaching is not suited to. Some children lack the drive to find things of interest, and according to the Montessori method, they should not be "pushed" (I use this term very broadly). At the point when they leave Montessori school, these children can be very ill-equipped in relation to their peers and "behind the curve". With some more discipline and structure, this could be avoided.

But, if you fit the right profile, its leaps and bounds ahead of mainstream education during the early years.

My wife is a Montessori teacher.
Why Data Scientists Must Understand Normalization
Everyone has self-discipline in some form or another. After observing the difference between children who have been unschooled and children who have been schooled, I would say that children are naturally disciplined (to follow their interests), and then become disinterested when the power to learn is taken out of their hands.
Don't worry, they don't mind.
This. That's the most important point. There's been studies that shows that using the children's native dialect to teach reading results in faster progress. Making it clear that Standard English is a different language makes integration much easier.

This is similar to kids learning Mandarin in China, they are taught that Mandarin is a different language than their dialect not that they speak broken Chinese, so they learn Mandarin and are eventually able to use it in business/formal situations.
> But, one question I fail to see answered well is, why should a city that isn't affordable be required to find and provide housing for individuals in said city? I can't afford to live in Carmel, Los Altos, etc, but I live where I can afford.

Well to be selfish about it: Palo Alto was a much more interesting place to live before the SRO hotels were converted to boutique hotels and before the city council sold out the prior commitment to Section 8 housing and diversity. Until the early '00s we had a lower median income than MP, MV & LA much less PV and LAH.

Also I like that my housekeeper lives in town only a mile or so from me; that one of her kids is a scout like my son, that her kids go to the palo alto schools. I wish the cops's kids did too -- there would be less stress between the cops and citizens.

Pretty sure the idea that the EU is run by Germany is stronger outside the UK than inside it.

I absolutely understand a desire to say "fuck 'em" to us Brits, but the margin was tiny, and EU-scepticism is rampant throughout the EU. Please don't pin the sins of our ex-PM on holding a referendum on the whole country - EU history is chock-a-block with countries rejecting various parts of the EU via referendum.
On that, the idea that Windows 10 is more secure is a fallacy. What Microsoft refers to when they say it is more secure is that Windows 10 supports Windows Store apps, which follow a similar model than iOS apps, limited access to local resources. But as most people know, the Windows Store is pretty much empty and the vast majority of the applications you will run on a Windows 10 machine will be the same applications you ran on a Windows 7 machine, particularly if you are using Windows 10 as a result of an automatic upgrade. The firewall is the same. The app model is the same. It's not "more secure". In fact because it has more new code, it also probably has more attack surface.

Wow, is it a regular thing?
Why is there a charge for deleting data? If I want to stop using the service or just lower the storage charge, I need to pay for that? Scrubbing I can understand if scrubbing is not mandatory, but deleting should just be marking data as free to overwrite so someone else can be charged.
I must admit, my head hurts trying to parse that explanation.

"In the real world, children are enticed by non-new and broken things just fine... until their parents, competitive peers, TV, or lovers insist they be more materialistic and wealthy signalling."

Tamana is describing a behavior known to anyone who have ever watched children play or explore the world. They start out interested in all kinds of stuff regardless if it's shiny or in perfect condition. Later, after much cultural conditioning, they might become adults who aren't interested in such things. The change is conditioned into them overtime. So, focusing on such attributes when training children is unnecessary given it's crap adults make up. If anything, children having some of their best experiences with heirlooms of varying quality might make them prefer such things in the future due to the mental association. So, Montessori method promoters themselves need to show some citations for making that a requirement.

Meanwhile, that should probably be stripped out of the method given there's no hard science backing it as necessary for children's learning. As I illustrated, it's even potentially harmful in predisposing them toward specific aesthetics and disposable goods.
For me, that's almost part of the charm. Each show doesn't itself need to be a masterpiece in order to play a part in the overall narrative of Lake Wobegon and Keillor's psyche. The show gained narrative force through its many years of accrual.

EDIT: Spelling
I really dislike this attitude. Sure, you can change the name (or do whatever you want) by forking, but what would that really achieve? Forking for a reason like this without a conversation isn't polite, nor will it likely achieve the best outcome.

Godwin's law only comes in when something has been compared to Hitler, this person stated a fact: That the law in question was brought in by Hitler.
Not my field of expertise, but I know the FCC enforces a lot of disclosure requirements in advertising, even on YouTube. If you're running a game review channel and somebody pays you for covering their game, you're legally required to disclose the sponsorship of the videos.

Hopefully someone else can jump in with more specific rules, but I would imagine that if you're pretending to be a neutral third party mentioning a service when you actually own it, the FCC might have a problem with that.
100% agreed. For all the hype around the book, and so many people recommending it as the best book they've read in $duration, I could never quiet stomach so many of Kahneman's "X Study leads to Conclusion Y" in the book.

I still liked the distinguishing characteristics between the "Fast" and "Slow" brains (the 2 systems) that Kahneman uses (Which I think he borrowed from another researcher, whose name skips me). It's a great way to think about how the brain works and you can neatly categorise some things as part of System A and some as System B. But the behavioural science studies leave much to be desired.

Then again, perhaps that is the uncertain nature of behavioural science?

Never been a Windows user or programmer, but like you I've heard they do quite a lot of clever stuff under the hood. Probably a lot of VMS heritage, another system I've never had a chance to use but heard good things about. But every version I've tried since Windows 3.1 has had an abysmal user experience, so I've never once considered switching.

And that leaves no current viable alternatives to the Unix-like systems. Sad, really.
Is it too far left? Current polling leads me to believe that the people are beginning to lean more left themselves. Trump isn't exactly winning.

Their greivences are real; mine are similar, but I don't believe that the policies and reactions that are trumpeted are going to fix their grievances.

Consider immigration as a concern. Why? Competition for jobs, crime and an exploding population of unskilled workers. Education programs (creating skilled Americans, reducing immigrant birth-rate and crime) and stabilizing Mexico are probably the most beneficial long term solutions, but I hear no discussion around this.
> No, why they have to start

They shouldn't have to, but they will, because everyone will do better if the UK stays in due to some political compromise.
Education is extremely political. It's not that we can't come up with better ways of occupying school-age children. Montessori has been around since the early 1900s!

The problem is convincing everyone they need to adopt a new method. Which is absolutely completely politically impossible compared to making small tweaks to the system already present.

Nobody is going to turn education upside down. Ever.
From what I can see, the underlying openpgp js lib does not support GPG Cards (smartcards / newer Yubikeys + others).

Interesting app, and it looks cool, but it rules out usage for me. Why the JS + Electron stack?

> The information highway will be the opposite of this—more like the library of congress but with an easy way to find things.

I thought this line was interesting, seeing as this was before the advent of Google. Bill knew that there needed to be an easy way to find things. MSN search started around the same time as Google, but I believe they used Inktomi rather than develop their own crawler.
Failure to disclose business interests, most likely. The FTC takes a dim view of this sort of stuff.
I found PHC style humor completely insufferable and unlistenable, but members of my family (who grew up in the Midwest in the 50s and 60s) just love it, and there's no accounting for taste of course.

I always thought the show stood as sort of the perfect archetype for what you'd call "white" American culture. Which I'm pretty sure is what David Simon was trying to say in this classic clip from The Wire:

I'm quite certain you'll find a lot of Europeans sharing those sentiments, but if you think you speak for overwhelming majority of of them, you are mistaken.

Most airlines just don't have it cause they are too cheap.
