>But with new programs like Microsoft Word coming into existence, typography (e.g. formatting a document, setting the margins, making sure the lettering is appealing, etc.) became something everyone could do easily without much thinking.

Correction: Most people do it without thinking. This does not mean the majority of the typography on the internet (and eventually printed) is good or well done.

My LaTeX setup produces fairly good typography for math work, without too much thinking on my part, after setting up the packages, fonts, etc and learning LaTeX, which did took some time. (And ironically enough, writing LaTeX feels quite a bit like coding...) But first of all, deciding to use and learn LaTeX (or some other workable solution to produce good typography, it probably isn't the only one but the one I'm familiar with) requires you think about typography and realize that good typography is needed in the first place.
While I agree in this case it's probably bigotry they would be exploiting, how do we differentiate that from an informed view of how someone's thoughts on religion (or birth control, or the belief in evolution, or how to deal with Israeli/Palestinian relations, or trade agreements) might translate into other areas of office? If you think they don't matter, it's bigotry. If you think they do, such as inform as to the character of the person, the personality of the person, how they deal with conflict, etc, then it's not. How to we objectively differentiate between things that matter and things that don't?
No I'm not meaning to imply that anyone should assume someone using BTC is a criminal. However it's not irrational to pay closer attention to them.

I do think reporting every single BTC user to a three letter agency is pushing it though. I would understand doing that for accounts that raise red flags beyond simply using BTC, but doing that for every single one seems a bit paranoid and ineffective anyways.
Besides what other guys mentioned, I think what you really lack is a good focus on a long-term objective. I decided to experiment what I consider a decent salary to live off monthly, then I've set my goal to retire... before retirement. To do this I considered how much I would generate from the dividend in stocks and other assets... there's a lot of reading and planning.

This is one suggestion what you could do, plus you'll put your money to work for you, not just you for it.

Is it common for Gitlab to take contributions from the community and release them as Enterprise Only, or am I understanding things incorrectly?

Is the Kerberos Ticket based git pull Enterprise only?
Nice! Good release !...
One thing that make the user experience way less friendly and make me worry about pushing as our main repo is the git push/pull speed....
Coming from GitHub or bitbucket it feels really slow. But I don't give up hope!

Keep up the good work!
> that in the future there will be no written contracts, we'll go back to debating and settling our issues verbally in public.

This is a great metaphor. Only I would change that he thinks we should "go back" with he thinks we are going to invent a magical technology that lets lawyers from two companies drag and drop a few images together and BOOM there's a legally binding contract.
So, no citation and just a bunch of opinion.

Thanks
I would travel for a while (6 months minimum, but possibly for years).

You get to know much more about yourself. If you are lost about who you are in the circumstances you describe, why not change the circumstances completely.

Disclaimer + shameless plug: if you are worried about money for that kind of traveling, try www.worldpackers.com (where you can exchange work for accommodation). I work there and I personally know about tons of positive feedback about how traveling for longer times changed their lives for better.
Obviously, my advice for traveling persists even if not traveling as a worldpacker. :)
Also, I am a personal reference for this kind of power, having spending 6 months working and living at a NGO for homeless families in Uruguay, them the same, but for 1,5 months at a NGO for children in Senegal.

My email is in my profile if you want to be put in touch to more people whose life changed for better by traveling.

I'm using Mesos/Marathon stack, and even that part I don't have trouble with. Mesosphere has a service called mesos-dns that will take care of service discovery, and Marathon has built in support for dependencies (don't launch X until Y is launched).

We have built some tools for port discovery (talking to mesos to figure out what port service Y is built on), but even with all our tools, we recently did a complete cloud migration (to GCP), and it was easy as backing up and deploying Zookeeper on the new nodes. Once the slaves were up, everything was running as if nothing changed in under an hour.

You don't need a compiler for that. Simple patterns have increase/decrease points to adjust to the normal variations in the human body shape.

You'd need a compiler if you wanted matching sweaters for your dog, chicken, and you.
I can think of one "confirmed" myth involving bacteria that was likely invalidated by improper sample handling. The lab scientist who ran the test appeared to be straining to say that without overstepping her remit on the show.

If you want your claims about HN moderation abuse taken seriously, you'll need to supply links to specific cases of alleged abuse. Outraged comments such as this one almost never do so, and on the rare occasions when they have, I have not observed the community agreeing.

Data suggests that these comments are typically posted by a tiny number of users who create multiple accounts to do it. If there were reason to believe that the broader community felt the same way, we'd be a lot more proactive about changing how we moderate HN. But in fact the evidence points to the reverse.

What you said about banning is misleading. In the majority of cases we post publicly about it: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix&page=0&dateRange=....

She sells (exclusively) on TeachersPayTeachers.com. Educators create resources and list them online for others to download/buy. Each seller is required to have at least one free resource so somewhere around 5%~10% are free.

The payment structure is basically 70% to the seller, or the seller can pay a flat fee of $60/yr to become a "premium" seller and then keep 85% of sales. What's nice about their platform is that the customers are highly qualified and support is mostly offloaded to their support staff. When a customer makes a direct inquiry (to a seller like my wife) about a product there's a very high chance they will actually convert, so time answering questions is well-spent. If a customer wants a refund they contact TPT directly, so it can be a very hands-off kind of thing. We've discussed selling off-site to recover a piece of the 15% but it hardly seems worthwhile because of their infrastructure and how it allows her to focus on creating new products.

TPT has posted engineering job openings on HN in the past and seems like it'd be a great place to work in NYC if anyone is looking. I don't represent or know them personally but get a strong positive impression from their virtual meetings with sellers and people who I know who work closely with them.

As I understand it they have a bit of cross-pollination with the team at Etsy, which is another interesting marketplace similar to TPT but for arts & crafts products. You might know Etsy from their blog at codeascraft.com, presentations they openly host, or because Rasmus Lerdorf (creator of PHP) works there. If not, their blog is worth checking out.
Good question. As I pointed out above, after looking at the balance sheet history, it appears that the bulk of Yahoo's liabilities are tied to the Alibaba investment. Those liabilities will understandably follow that asset, and shows just how ridiculous the math is that people here are using here. Alibaba is not worth what is on the asset side. It is worth that value minus the liabilities specifically tied to that asset.
I doubt in this future AOL grows faster than Yahoo however.
You win the prize!
> In particular, any series of computations that can be represented as a directed graph, e.g. a streaming data workflow, or state machine, is much more easily understood pictorially than textually.

As long as it is very simple. Electronics already have a highly developed visual language for describing their functions - but if what was going on inside every chip was illustrated just as what was going on between chips, it would be entirely unintelligible. Instead, any visual representation is at a particular scale, and well known portions are represented as blocks with cryptic textual notes next to each interface (ACK, EN, V0+, CLK, PT2, HVSD, WTFBBQ, etc.), labels to identify company or type, and an expectation that you know what they do or can find out on your own (and not an expectation that you understand how they do it.)

Anything simple enough to be completely expressed in human-comprehensible pictures should be exposed to the user and modifiable (even if not by using pictures, but forms.) I totally agree, if that's what you and this article are trying to say. My experiences in trying to encode actual human workflows in BPMN have taught me that when using pictures it's harder to express things of any sophistication than in words - because of words like "with" and "each" and "all", "if" and "when," and because of ways things change over time, and because of separate but overlapping/interacting flows that languages can express easily but pictures not so much.

In pictures, that involves looking all over your picture for different things, trying to figure out how to draw lines to them; if the condition is once or twice removed from the object of the search, it involves trying to untangle massive knots with your eyes and memory.
Theoretically, that is. What it involves in practice is scrawling words all over your picture (just like in a circuit diagram.) Words that express the same types of relationships over time and type as the picture is trying to express projected onto a plane, words that could be easily expanded to include those relationships and eliminate the 18 types of lines, the 25 types of shapes, the 12 types of shape borders, the 16 color schemes and the long list of rules for connecting them that had to be invented to avoid coming up with a textual syntax.
The macro economically productive "purpose" of a start-up is to make profit, not to "exit". Until this is understood and forced by the economy, the overall economic climate in the US will continue to deteriorate.
Go find the data. I'm not going to make archaeological research to convince you.
I believe the poster is referring to Mikhail Gorbachev, who said “The most puzzling development in politics during the last decade is the apparent determination of Western European leaders to re-create the Soviet Union in Western Europe.”

But who knows; perhaps Mikhail read something in the Daily Mail.

I think this is correct -- but.

In Utupia (aka Nowhere) we will have programs that a human being can know is correct. This might involve mathematical proofs, tests and whatever. But how do we know that those things are correct?

In some cases, it would help if we had an English text explaining what the program should doo + computer verification that the program really does that. The English text is only one part of the picture -- but an important part.

This is what acceptance testing tools like Cucumber and Robot try to do; but they avoid actually parsing English. Computers are getting better at parsing human languages, so I expect improvement in this field.
If it is in a single coordinated economic block, then you don't get the positive effects of different countries trying different things, and the good ideas being copied when proven successful. i.e. the same competition that actually made Europe such a successful part of the world over the last few centuries. The EU is anti-European.
>However I do wish the React team would pick between ES6 classes and `React.createClass`

We’re going with ES6 classes. Expect createClass() to go into another package some time this year.

(Obviously we’ll provide an automated “codemod” utility to convert your existing code.)
>If a Trump presidency resulted in any changes to the rights of any of the groups you mention, we'd also have congress to blame. The president does not have the power to make laws.

I think you are being naive if that is your logic. Why care about the president at all if they can't pass laws? The truth is that they do have a large amount of influence on the laws of this country. There is a reason people call it Obamacare and not Pelosicare. You are also not factoring in executive orders which can be used to do a lot of damage. I imagine Trump's immigration ban will attempt to be issued with an executive order for example.
I have looked into Kubernetes and am running a couple of POCs on it.

I agree 100% Kube answers everything I am missing with mesos/marathon combination, that's why I am planning to start moving over new services.
We won’t add runtime dependencies besides React for now. We are focused on solving build tooling first.

Ask HN: Ever run a one-man software business?
Anyone ever run a one-man software business? Is this a good direction to take a career in? I'd love to hear from other people who run these kind of businesses, and what their experiences are like.

Some general questions about a one-man software business: What kind of business do you run? Did you have a product, or a service, or some kind of a combination of the two?
What percent of your day is coding, versus tasks like bookkeeping, interacting with customers, ect?

What kinds of software make good one-man businesses? Do one-man businesses tend to grow and need subcontractors or employees, or are they good to keep under control? Do one-man businesses work better when lots of customers make small payments, or a handful of large customers make large payments?

What are some things a one-man business shouldn't do?
Yep. I was blacklisted from several tech events, for writing a mildly negative Facebook post about a local consulting company. This is becoming a real problem. Companies in the tech space are using blacklisting to silence any kind criticism or critique.
>>You normally remove all hints of HTML tags on input sanitation

Then what happens when you want to use that input in an excel export? PDF export? CSV file? Text file? How about if you want to use it in an HTML attribute? In a URL? Export the database elsewhere? (Such as a credit card company reporting to the CSAs). You can't assume that your data is going to be inside an HTML page between tags always because that mucks up your data. Data should be able to be used in many different ways because it will be and should not be tied to HTML.
You could disprove it by coting a single area where they are a widely acknowledge success, but that is of course impossible: even the Remain campaign was unable to come up with anything beyond vague threats of doom, which have now proven false
Isn't doing programming projects much less cumbersome when you hire a professional programmer and express a high-level project spec to him/her? Why cannot a sufficiently advanced machine-learning model behave just like such a professional?

Modern models learn to achieve goals in increasingly sophisticated 3d environments and even learn execute commands in some very limited form of natural language. You could say that the question of achieving more humanlike performance may be "just" a question of engineering and scale.
In my experience, people who hold down gyms are high schoolers or college students out for the summer. Hard to compete with them when they have free summers!
Huh, I had no idea GTA5 did that. Thanks for the info, I really would love to see more game developers implement something like this.
In most of the world it is not even available, it will continue burning for a couple of months and if they add PvP, trading and other good stuff that the gameboy games had they will ensure indefinite success.

It's not that it's hard to do it with Marathon/Mesos, it's just hard to maintain an application with dependent services.

It's just a matter of my personal comfort, I like to use isolated services that just use messaging and fire a message when their done with their role.

Even if Kube handles everything perfectly, it's still harder to maintain application with inner-service communication, hard to follow problems/errors/stack traces etc...

To be fear, they did not just publish a negative blog post about WeWork as the title may suggest, but somehow obtained proprietary data WeWork probably sees as a trade secret.

I rediscovered being a member of a dojo. Combines some elements of spirituality / higher purpose together with some pretty awesome exercise endorphins. It's like church, but without the god thing.
Happened to me with Final Fantasy XIV. 2.0 was great but since 3.0 came out there really hasn't been much content to keep me hanging around. I let my sub lapse and have no real desire to get back in until I can log in for a few months and play a nice burst of content.
Pokémon Go is real genius in its combination of 3 elements that make it like lazing a stick of dynamite.

1) You can walk around in immersive play
2) There's opportunity for face to face interaction.
3) It's IP that a large part of the public cares about.

Of these, it's #1 that's the most critical. It's like the world is the world of Pokemon and you're a character in it like Ash.
I actually use browserify for personal projects. It's ultra simple to get started. My boss insists on using webpack.
Programming won't be any easier. It's like claiming that in the future thinking will get easier. I'd claim otherwise: keeping in mind recent trends of "outsourcing" the knowledge many brains just don't have enough building block in working memory to do complicated thinking.
Hynek Schlawack gave a talk at PyCon this year about using Prometheus and Grafana to unify monitoring metrics. Honestly the talk goes beyond my own understanding, but you may find it helpful. He's quite knowledgeable.

> To get real time insight into your running applications you need to instrument them and collect metrics: count events, measure times, expose numbers. Sadly this important aspect of development was a patchwork of half-integrated solutions for years. Prometheus changed that and this talk will walk you through instrumenting your apps and servers, building dashboards, and monitoring using metrics.

19 out of 20 times, true. However I totally get how SO is structured and contributing answers to people's question is something everyone gets. And if I want to find other questions (like for marking a duplicate, or researching a topic) I can use the search and tag system easily. Somehow the structure of this documentation area is not very clear to me.

Thanks for your enthousiasm. Self hosted GitLab instances should be really fast but GitLab.com is indeed very slow.

This is due to us only using a single NFS server. With the release of 'Multiple Repository Mount Points' today we can start adding more servers.

Long term we want to move to distributed storage with Ceph and we hired a consultant to help us with this that started last Monday. Also see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/1
Got it - apologies for misunderstanding you. I thought you were suggesting the opposite (I.e. that there is nothing to violate because of the lack of a long-term lease). :)
I agree that 1) is a problem, although technical solutions are possible I find them awkward.

I think 2) has to do with people not feeling they are part of the team.

Our solution to 3) is a separate work machine (laptop) set up so that you can not access the internet in any other way than through the VPN to the office. So, to work remotly you need to bring your work computer with you. You can not connect using your private computer.
Yeah, and I sometimes have to close slack because there's too many people ping'ing me on it and asking my opinions of things which is precisely like having people doing fly bys on your desk all day long...
