I agree with your general point, but debating the merits of a specific celebrity's success is slightly in bad taste for this site, and in any case this has drifted far from Dweck's work.

One of the hard things about Hacker News is making sure that interesting topics get discussed, instead of getting pulled into a stronger gravitational field. Satellite digressions are often ok, but having every discussion land on the same old popular planets (what, Jupiter again?) is tedious.

As I pointed the analysis in your article is a very wild guess.

I have some grudge to people who advocate using information miss representation, and flood discussions with low quality statements.
Being offensive is certainly a choice but not on this forum if I remember the rules correctly.

I am not trolling, I am merely saying that a good writer should take responsibility for his choice of words.
It's funny because LE's stance has been that 90-day certs are cool because it is easy to automate renewal. However, no one bothered to set up renewal on their example server.
I clearly remember getting hugely uncomfortable whenever as a child my intellect was praised by an adult. Made me want to completely stop doing anything, lest it draw more of their biased, narrow-minded judgements of me.
Fuchsia (A New Operating System by Google?)
Great idea, but the delivery leaves much to be desired: I am not going to run "pip install" and bypass the software management subsystem of my operating system, thereby compromising the integrity of my system. No OS package, no install.
I don't disagree, perhaps Pokemon, by virtue of its active engagement while you are using it, provides higher density data. The social networking and mapping services really only note your location when you generate content or seek an address. Waze however would be a good example of something collecting location data all the time and potentially creating records of it upstream.
> You are correct it is not a method...it is a description for purposes of the thread. Do you think a patent application can be granted without specific claims or as you call it the specific way to achieve that result?

Right, but the way you refer to it shows that you think you have a good claim on the entire result, not just one or two methods.

> That is not how the law works, I don't own the result

No, you just own all the ways you came up with to achieve that result. If you named all the obvious ones, then you effectively do.

Otherwise you'd have said "I have a patent on using NLP techniques to do XYZ" or something.

> I welcome you to explain how I achieve the result or even some of those obvious/direct ways to do it. No offense, you won't, why do I know that?

That's what you would say. If it's true, your patent is one in a million.

If there is a non-obvious element in any given patent it's almost always the result. Once your boss tells you to automatically calculate pricing from charging docs you have the same tools as everyone else.

> I find the people who typically rail against the current patent system have never: a) filed a patent, [...]

Well, my company's lawyer filed my patents... But I still think it's an entirely counterproductive system.

I've always been ordered not to read any patents, except ours. Any theoretical gain to society from information sharing is obviously not happening in practice.

> Apple's rectangle with rounded edges

That's more akin to a trademark though. That is supposed to cover a result, not the technique of achieving it.

> what do you honestly believe has happened more often: patent troll lawsuits or big companies stealing inventions?

A better question than mere frequency would be, which do I think has been more harmful - All patent trolls, or all "stolen" inventions.

And an even better question would be, which one do I think we could fix, and with how much incidental damage.
Brilliant, thanks for this! I'll go check them out.
>There is also the argument that a large portion of those people would never have paid for your content in the first place

So? If you make a product you usually pay a lot of attention to price it in a way that your target market can afford. The people that can't pay for it aren't supposed to get it for "free" (if you everyone accepted this logic capitalism as we know it would crumble). I say this as someone who pirates something every now and then but I don't have to pretend that I'm somehow righteous when I do it. I do it for the same selfish reasons everyone else does even if they like to pretend otherwise.
GOOD RIDDANCE. The example of Zuckerberg stealing the idea for Facebook and getting rich has contributed to the foolish belief that it's okay to "enjoy the benefit of something that was SUPPOSED to be paid for -- and NOT PAYING".

"I didn't steal any copyrighted material, my site just helped people who WANTED to enjoy the benefit of copyrighted material that was SUPPOSED to be paid for but didn't pay. So I'm in the clear!"

There's no reason to think that the bulk of women or black people would have different merits than the bulk of white men. So when we see those outcomes diverging, we assume that some something other than individual merits caused it and we act to bring the outcomes back in line with the assumed-equal merits. In other words, forcing equality of outcomes is just supposed to be correcting for some external thing that does not treat people according to merits.

Yes, that's what I like about it, too. All of my machine got its own .onion address so I have a static name I can connect whether I am in home or Starbucks connected to their Wi-fi.

>>In that case, shouldn't inheritance be taxed as income?

But it was taxed as income already. I literally don't see any reason to tax it as such again. And there's plenty of people to get money they don't "deserve" - I would argue a lot of us software programmers don't deserve to be paid what we get paid and yet, we are. If I want to leave my child money that I earned and paid tax on - who are you to say if my child deserved that money or not?

No need to apologize, you are 100% right.
Exactly. The API is written in Go (because I wanted to learn it), and there's a Postgres database behind it, and a background Go process that scans the journals for updates. I recently rewrote the client in React as a learning exercise, but haven't made the switch yet

If I restarted from scratch I would do the server-side in Python because there's just a lot more good libraries available.

Sorry, but you seem to be reading your own interpretation into what I said. I agree that there is no reason your friends and coworkers shouldn't overlap. In fact, I am good friends with several of my coworkers. At the same time, there is also no reason why they have to overlap, either. You can work perfectly fine with people whom you have no interest in holding a friendship with.

My "culture" as you put it is really an anti-culture, and it's the one that has worked for hundreds of years in workplaces around the world. I don't care whom I work with so long as they are professional, capable, and skilled in the tasks they need to do on a regular basis. What they wear, what their hobbies are, whether I enjoy talking to them about non-work activities, etc. has basically zero bearing on my evaluation of them as coworkers. In a very real sense, that approach is more open-minded and inclusive than yours, which prioritizes specific personal traits rather than job fit. That's the whole point of the post we are discussing in the first place - imposing a "culture fit" on a workplace to the exclusion of perfectly qualified people just doesn't make much sense. You might claim that employee retention and productivity are higher with a tight "culture" (though I would be extremely skeptical about that claim), but at what cost does that come? Or how about this - how well would the Apollo program have worked if NASA insisted that every engineer, astronaut, and flight controller had to be friends? If you want the best of the best, you deal with personal differences and still accomplish great things.

My last line is indeed cynical because it comes from the perspective of having been around the block a few times when it comes to companies supporting employees vs. supporting bottom lines. I've also seen how paragons of "strong culture" fall apart once employees get out of their 20s and start to have a family and social life compete with work. I really do hope that you're able to continue working with people you enjoy hanging out with every day, but unfortunately real life tends to make that difficult over time.
Graduating is what counts, not the time it took you to graduate. Stuff happens in life.

Me, it took 7 years to graduate due to severe health issues and family issues, but I kept on going, taking one course at a time in some semesters.

So don't worry about it, in fact, it can be a positive thing. If they know that despite many struggles in life, you kept on going, you'll appear as a go getter.

So don't worry about it, stuff happens in life. Keep on going and graduate, that's what matters the most.

I, too, was doing Project Euler problems for a while, but eventually I realized that with the same amount of work I could be making things I actually want to use. My Project Euler solutions were conceptually on a shelf, sitting unused. It didn't feel too good.

false dichotomy. a person can have self-esteem based on EITHER or BOTH of those characteristics.
He already provides packaging for Arch, probably what he uses. It's probably just a question of what resources he has available. Many of us are content to use a tarball or pip.
There is a difference between praising effort when effort is needed, and praising pointless effort that is just self-punishment.

Later in life children will be put in situations were being unable to work effectively and put in effort will have really bad impacts on their lives. Preparing them to be able to cope is for their own best.

That does not equate to teaching them to be good little worker drones regardless of their own happiness.

> kids already have great deal of intrinsic motivation why do we need to praise him.

Because not receiving praise and positive attention is soul destroying and leads people to seek other ways of getting attention. In the absence of positive attention, any attention - including punishment will do.

Got a kid? Try ignoring them, and see attention-grabbing behaviour escalate dramatically in an amazingly short time span. From my son was 2 and to this day (he's 7), withdrawing attention has been our primary means of discipline, and it is scarily effective. When he was 2-3 we'd limit it to ignore him for 20-30 seconds at a time.

(In fact, it works with adults too - just try shifting your body away from someone to punish behaviour you find rude or offensive. It's crazily effective with most people)

So given that you almost certainly will praise your children if you want them to thrive, the question is what to praise to help them do as well as possible.

Praising them for effort does not mean praising them only for that, or praising them for working too much. It means praising them for effort in preference to praising them for results. But also praise them for other things, including ensuring they get enough rest and take time to play.

Stop waiting until you lose a job to find a new one.

Upgrade regularly, as soon as you find a new job that you like more go take it. Building your skills and Networking are key. Network all the time, get to know people who will be hiring, conferences, events, find people who are working on things you want to work on and people you want to work with.

Lifes too short to wait it out.

Upgrade fast and regularly, pay shoots up, location improves.
As an aside, I think this sort of upbringing is a significant contributing factor to the personality type that shows up frequently in the most toxic online groups (MRAs, gamergaters, PUAs, etc). In my glimpses, it's been abundantly clear that many of them are highly intelligent and not much else: single, with shitty jobs, no exceptional skills, and dim prospects for the future. But because they grew up being told they were going to be rich and happy because they were so smart, it's clearly the rest of the world's fault that they didn't end up with the life they feel entitled to.
Mainframe – The Ultimate Cloud Platform
esr, brilliant as always.

However:

since shipping the first version of this guide I have been asked why, if reordering for minimal slop is so simple, C compilers don’t do it automatically. The answer: C is a language originally designed for writing operating systems and other code close to the hardware. Automatic reordering would interfere with a systems programmer’s ability to lay out structures that exactly match the byte and bit-level layout of memory-mapped device control blocks.

If the programmer wants or needs absolute control, just do not provide the reordering option to the optimizing compiler. So why wouldn't compilers provide a command line option to do automatic reordering?

Right.
You just have to pass the message "you are important and loved as you are" separately from feedback to a particular task. Your accomplishments do not define you as a whole, but do define the mark you honestly receive.
The wording in your message seems to imply that unsubstantive comments can get you banned. Is this only for really unsubstantive stuff like the "this" comments?

Or am I misreading and a comment has to be uncivil AND unsubstantive for it to be ban worthy?
Totally agreed on both counts, but what matters really is whether you feel too uncomfortable to live in a place.
> I think a lot of coastal elites have no idea what they're talking about when they speak about the extreme danger of being different in middle-America.

Here's a counterargument (counter-anecdote, really): I'm different in other ways (foreigner), I found living in middle-America a nightmarish experience of prejudice and outright hate. Being cat-called once is child's play compared to living in the mid-west while foreign.
But it is different! Used bookstores wont let you walk out with the book for free, they charge you :P

All laws are fiction by your account. Why is violence illegal? Why can't bigger/more skilled people just beat up the weak and take their stuff? That's how things were for tens of thousands of years. Prohibiting that is a legal fiction.

Torrenting a movie does not fall into the category of "theft of ideas." It is falls into the category of stealing a work.

As for the argument that things would be made/written etc. anyway, you can still find that. It's out there. If it was better, you would be hearing the music all over the radio. You would be seeing the productions all over TV (because there's no royalty to pay, right?). You do hear and see some, but it's no way for a lot of to make a living. It's not enough. There's no way to take a year off and write that novel that you aren't going to get paid for. So you write a blog instead.

No, some way to protect the work of the people who do it is needed. I appreciate your opinion, but I don't think it's the right answer here.

Does anyone have feedback running app at scale in Google Cloud for more than one year?
Impossible to address your first point without going into personal opinions, not fit for this forum.

About the other point, regarding the future of the country, I did not mean the impeachment going through would undermine our democracy - this sort of discussion has no place here. Just that the overall economical and political landscape is cloudy at best. Operation java-jato is likely a good thing, but a "Mani Pulite"-like outcome, with corrupt politicians passing essentially pro-corruption laws, and the ascension of an inept "strongman" (in italy it was Berlusconi) is something that can easily happen in the coming years.
I also use a homemade code to keep up with new papers.

I feed in a .bib file with papers I like and use a Naive Bayes classifier to find papers I might like in news feeds (science, nature, PNAS, etc).

It works pretty well. As a bonus you can use post high ranked papers to slack or use papers sent to me by other people to repopulate the bib file.

What about collecting tweets from verified researchers? It could help getting to critical mass. You could even consider papers tweeted by researchers that are followed by your known researchers, and so on, with the right weighting (something resembling pagerank).

With the right weighting this could really boost the size and quality of your dataset.
> In a video, they're probably going to be somewhere in small print in the credit roll at the end.

When you have small print in a video, I think that itself is a good indication of how commercial it is, so I don't really think that's a problem. If celebrities end up having to include small print in posted images, well, I think we'll understand pretty quickly how commercial and sponsered it is.

> And even when journalists and others have a link to a detailed disclosure statement, how many people actually click through to read that.

Generally I see them as a postscript on the article, not as links (unless the link is to give more detailed information).

> I generally favor transparency but the reality is that most disclosures are always going to be effectively footnotes and 99% of the time people won't notice them or will just ignore them.

That presumes that the only benefit of this is in that people immediately notice the sponsorship. There are other benefits though, which is that other people and notice the sponsorship and disseminate the information more prominently.
More than that. Try were voted for miraculous promises, took advantage of increased prices of commodities, and gave money in popular programs. Then lied about unemployment by changing criteria, kept controlled prices at popular levels against a long term development, and when this came out (like petrobras huge debt, and all money laundry), some people began to shout that it was "a coup", that all parties also stealed money and so PT shouldn't be punished etc.
