I do not know if you are aware of how little sense this comment makes. For example, it is in the very structure of the words "disingenuous" and "consider" that the sentence "X is disingenuous; consider Y" is nonsense for all X and Y; you cannot prove that someone is being insincere by asking them to think about something that they've not thought about before. This is ignoring the bigger issue that people forget things all the time and that it does not usually mark a lie, and that even if someone is lying about some statement somewhere, it doesn't change the basic Bayesian fact that yes, you do need to consider an event in the context of all of the probability-weighted candidate explanations for it, if you want to know whether it's reasonable for a person to conclude it.

I respectfully yield whatever last words are in this exchange to you.

my beef is with the new tibble-ish format of dplyr. the format doesn't support lists as cells, unlike data frames. right now, `tbl_df` is a good in-between, but since dplyr is converging to the tibble/feather format, it's gonna be rough

> Getting married and/or having kids is a terrible way to try to address existential boredom.

Starting or growing a family is a terrible way to solve problems.

If interaction with kids seems like a good use of time, start by volunteering with mentoring organizations like Big Brother/Big Sister or Boys and Girls Clubs. Or help out with the kids programs at church/temple/synagogue if you're into organized religion.

If that pans out well, consider babysitting for foster families. Foster parents do incredible amounts of good for society and get run into the ground in the process. It seems simple, but giving them a night off here and there is a huge help.

If that goes well, then maybe consider adopting or starting a family. At any rate, there are a lot of young people out there that could use positive (especially male!) role models.
Zapping Their Brains at Home
I knew people at Yahoo before Marissa took over, and they already knew those telecommuters were lazy. Work seemed very unevenly distributed at Yahoo. Coming from Google c. 2009-2014, most of my coworkers were reasonably hard workers - there were some variations in individual productivity, but most people pulled their weight, and the ones who didn't were fired. The stories I heard from Yahoo friends & acquaintances were that they were pulling 10 hour days + weekends because their teammates would work 2 hours, or that their teammates would telecommute and AFATCT never actually do any work. That bred a lot of resentment, and indeed made a lot of Yahoo's more-hardworking employees jump ship.

I've been considering the historical aspect of social networks and "personal pages" as an attack vector for a while (with respect to bad practice for removal). What happens when person "xyz" registers a domain, builds a personal site, and begins to signup for "whatever.com" under that email and then the domain lapses?

Re-registering the domain would be easy and capturing/selling the credentials would be easy. Once you get an email running a "forgot password" on the "to" address across the top 500 domains might yield something fun. Also catching these specific type domains in drop would be easy with firstname/lastname scan. Cheap as well. Basically fraud based domain squatting.
The game is an old school LAN party. You spend time face to face with your friends, shouting out to each other and having a good time.

Chang defending shitty American beer — http://www.gq.com/story/david-chang-cheap-beer
A lot of commoner food (like ketchup and soy sauce) would be revolutionary if they were discovered today. Ketchup is the perfect blend of umami (tomato), salt and vinegar. Soy sauce goes well with most anything. Many of the fancy sauces you pay bank are not as good as soy sauce or ketchup. They become common because they are sooo good but also a little boring once you get used to it.

Combining orange and chicken is simple but powerful because they are favorite foods for many people and they have completely different flavor profiles (of course orange chicken could be executed better than Panda Express!).

Wow, thanks Allen for the clear suggestions. My initial thought is that we can do some of these. It would be awesome if we can have one less layer of horizontal navigation.

Totally. My first React setup took me two days to get right. Now, starting a new project is a 5 minute exercise in CLI autocomplete that has me wishing npmjs downloads were faster. It's surreal to think that for any popular technology, there will always be newcomers, no matter how long that technology has been around. I would write up my process in a blog post, but I'm sure that that has already been written several times.

This is the most exciting thing to come out of the ReactJS project since it started. The very best investment a technology platform can make is onboarding new developers. ReactJS is recognising that and it's great news that they are making the hardest bit easier.

"Babel 6 - useless by default - a lesson in how NOT to design software. "

http://fourlightyears.blogspot.com/2016/03/babel-6-useless-b...

The last line of the above griping blog post says: "The right amount of configuration is none."

So it is awesome to see someone who DOES know how to design software.

Dan Abramov's blog post says: "Zero Configuration. It is worth repeating: there are no configuration files or complicated folder structures. "

Babel gets it precisely wrong, this new ReactJS tools aims to correct the Babel complexity error.
[EDIT: This pricing page by the top poster in this thread is way better than I suggest below -- https://www.serverdensity.com/pricing/]

1. VERY clearly state that when you sign up for the service, then you are on the hook for up to $18*500 = $9000 + tax in charges for any month. Even Google compute engine (and Amazon) don't create such a trap, and have a clear explicit quota increase process.

2. Instead of "HUGE $15" newline "(small light) per host", put "HUGE $18 per host" all on the same line. It would easily fit. I don't even know how the $15/host datadog discount could ever really work, given that the number of hosts might constantly change and there is no prepayment.

3. Inform users clearly in the UI at any time how much they are going to owe for that month (so far), rather than surprising them at the end. Again, Google Cloud Platform has a very clear running total in their billing section, and any time you create a new VM it gives the exact amount that VM will cost per month.

4. If one works with a team, 3 is especially important. The reason that I had monitors on 50+ machines is that another person working on the project, who never looked at pricing or anything, just thought -- he I'll just set this up everywhere. He had no idea there was a per-machine fee.
> You speak as if there are already tons of other docks for phones.

I didn't speak that way at all. This isn't a new category of device or concept (given Motorola's device and Continuum from Microsoft), but that's not the point. A paradigm shift is not merely defined by the creation of a new product. "Hey, I taped a duck to a car. Everybody needs a duckcar. What a paradigm shift!"

The point is that this isn't a useful product for the vast majority of people. Who wants to sit on the couch using their laptop with a phone awkwardly tethered to it? Who wants to have a laptop that they can't simply hand to someone else to use (without also handing them their phone, or having them install some app on their phone, which must also run Android). Who wants to invest $100 (more after the early bird kickstarter stuff is done) in a device that has a crummy screen and probably a crummy touchpad and keyboard when they could buy a better chromebook or similar device for $200, and end up with a laptop that doesn't have the same shortcomings? Who's needs are better filled by this than by a separate device?

Again, I think this is a geek fantasy. We see two devices that are both computers and think "hey, we should merge these". But that doesn't provide any utility. It doesn't save much if any money. It doesn't enable new functionality. It does exactly what mikestew said: it gathers dust.

This is very much like the Asus Padphone. It sounds interesting to merge a phone and a tablet like this, but it's not actually useful. You just end up with a tablet that's useless without the phone. It's not a better experience in any way.
As I understand it is currently unknown where the author got the data. If WeWorks published this in a publicly available API it is of course reasonable to chart it, but if the author somehow misuses the access he got as a tenant there, this is not (in my view) just an issue about the author publishing a negative blog post as the title indicates.

While I appreciate the kind words for Django, there are plenty of libraries and frameworks out there which are doing the basics of web app security out of the box these days, and my recommendation is to find one you like and use it.

The big obstacle there is people who insist on writing their own versions of everything rather than using off-the-shelf components. I know it's a point of pride for some folks not to "rely" on third-party code, or to post long rants from someone's experience with a late-90's-era framework as evidence that they're all awful, but getting a bunch of best practices done for you for free is the advantage they offer, and given how hard it is to cover even the basic security bases, that's an advantage I think people increasingly can't afford to give up.

Right now, I'm going through the Om.next tut series, and it is pretty awesome so far. I think I'm going to pass on datascript, though. This is total skunkworks though, if people at work found out that was using clojurescript on the front end, they would be very concerned about me.

The killer feature for Om.next, imo, is using a reader function to define the relationship between a component and the one application state atom. Combine that with an identifying function that associates a component with a field in the application state, and you enable the framework to make very precise component updates.

> Religion is traditionally the touchstone for meaning and making sense for humanity.

Agreed. This is a real-life example of Ecclesiastes, an amazing book for cynics, skeptics, and people dissatisfied by practical advice.

The punchline of Ecclesiastes is complex but its:

1. There's not really a point where you are fully satisfied with the things the world offers. Nothing works: money, relationships, power, health, accomplishments, family, charity, even religion.

2. But the world was made to be enjoyable. Enjoy life. Have friends. Eat good food and drink good wine when you can.

3. Points 1 and 2 conflict a bit. Ecclesiastes doesn't really resolve the tension, but Christian theologians and philosophers say that Christ and the Gospel square that circle. As in, stop looking for tricks and start trying to figure out who God is and what He wants. Because it's about that relationship, not about habits, actions, or fine tuning our endocrine systems.

Anyway, that's a bit of a philosophical digression, but I think most of this practical advice about exercise, travel, friends, family, etc. is OK and well received, but in the end it just delays the existential crisis a little later.

A month ago on my bike rides through a downtown park and along a river there were usually a decent group of people out enjoying the sunshine along the river, maybe 10% of them were using their phones. The other day I went through there and there were more (and younger) people out and virtually all of them were staring at their phones. Never seen anything like it in such a place.
I think those tend not to sustain themselves, for several reasons.

How do you know for sure? This isn't a device that's targeted for HN users.

> But that doesn't provide any utility.

It does and you still haven't disputed my point: Not having to carry a 12in laptop in the subway. There are also plenty of people who are too poor to afford a laptop. They can afford this. Also there are also a lot of people who can't afford cloud features and don't know how to sync a phone and laptop.

> that has a crummy screen and probably a crummy touchpad

There are many people who don't care about the specs in this world. Not everyone is a techie and not everyone wants the very best.

> It doesn't enable new functionality.

No it doesn't for us, but it does for people who don't own a separate desktop or laptop. You have to look beyond yourself, your own social circle, and the suburbs that you live in.

> Who wants to have a laptop that they can't simply hand to someone else to use

Similar to how a lot of smart phones really suck on battery life, I can imagine accessories being made for this - like a case with a clip or better yet a case with a slip cover that you can slide the phone into. Even then at this price point and given the demographic that they're targetting, this probably won't be a problem.

> This is very much like the Asus Padphone. It sounds interesting to merge a phone and a tablet like this, but it's not actually useful.

That's funny. Everyone, including myself, made fun of Samsung for doing the same thing with the Note. Phablets have been selling just fine for years now. Again just because it's not useful for you personally, it doesn't mean that there isn't a market or need for it. The only thing that the Asus Padphone proves is that ideas are cheap. Execution is where it counts.
