Hello Hacker News!

I'm looking for feedback for my side project, Sagefy. I've been working on Sagefy for a little over 3 years and finally have something to show! I describe Sagefy as an open-content adaptive learning system. You can think of Sagefy like a synthesis of "anyone can edit" from Wikipedia and adaptive learning systems like Aleks or Knewton.

Here's a short 3-minute explainer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVwfwTOdnOE

All of the basic things are built, but Sagefy is still a little rough around the edges. You can try out a little course I've built in it, "Introduction to Electronic Music -- Foundation", at: https://sagefy.org/

Sagefy is completely free and open source https://github.com/heiskr/sagefy . I have no interest it turning this into any sort of commercial endeavour. If you're interested in getting more background, check out the Wiki at https://github.com/heiskr/sagefy/wiki . Or just ask :)

Let me know what you think! And thank you!
Correct and standard are not the same thing. It's one thing to say African American Vernacular English (AAVE) isn't standard, and that Standard American English (SAE), what with the Standard in the name, is. It's a totally different thing to say AAVE is "incorrect".

Regardless, the idea that everyone in your company needs to speak SAE because it's an important part of the business is a little like Facebook saying everyone in your company needs to program in PHP because it's an important part of their business. There is such a thing as specialization. Not everyone at the company has to be able to do every job.
My understanding is that you do have the right to know who complained about your compliance under Bill 101.

Anyways, I don't think it's asking much to have your website/blog/frontend in the language of the province where you operate, but the photocopier business, keyboards in french etc is ridiculous. Also it seems the language police always get more confident whenever a PQ government gets power.
I see the aesthetic concern. Although I am not really sure how that should be done. Regarding the totp specifically, if it is a situation that only happens with say 10% of the users of the google drive should it be included in the general dialog box and left blank if not used? Is there an established design for adding typically unused options? Error and highlight if you needed totp? I'm not sure if that is better.

This seems to be a fundamental design concern. I would love to see "good" examples of how to handle this.
I'm not so sure, I understand Model-View-Template much better than I understand Model-View-Controller.

And for a real beginner, what a view is doesn't matter at all; what matters is how quickly they can start to feel they understand what they are doing with the system.
We have implemented a bunch of importers. One of them is CSV. Take a look at https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/tree/master/samples/go/cs...

We envision there to be tools that work on certain data types (Noms has a full type system), for example an app that displays all geo locations in a dataset.
Besides the obvious hype and hipster “this time its different” appeal, is there any technical reason one would would prefer Slack over, say, XMPP? I looked into it only until I realized one has to pay to access chat history.
Yea. I think a lot of people might think the hiring market is healthy and that there are jobs everywhere purely based on the volume of recruiter spam in their inbox. In reality, tons of companies are INTERVIEWING but nobody seems to be HIRING.

I've got almost 2 decades of experience as a programmer, project manager and product manager, and I still estimate that, given the job market these days, it would take 1-6 months to line up another job if I started today. I've not seen an environment where you could "get another job on Monday" since 1999.

It's also disappointing, though unfortunately rather characteristic of OSS UI discussions, that the only options most people here are even considering seem to be the traditional (old MS Office) toolbars and the (new MS office) ribbon.

From a UI point of view, if your best idea is to do what the established, dominant, commercial/proprietary software has already had for some time, you obviously can't ever be better than your competition. You're permanently playing catch-up.

If your goal is just to provide a free-as-in-either clone of that established commercial/proprietary software, maybe that's OK.

If your goal is to produce the best software you can to help users get their office work done, to make something better in its own right and not just because of economic or philosophical priorities, then the first thing a good UI designer is going to do is step back and start asking lots of questions about the fundamentals. What work actually needs to be done? How do users want to do it? How can office software help? Are the features and UI of a traditional word processor or spreadsheet or presentation software of 20-30 years ago still useful and relevant in 2016?

Working with textual information and tables is surely still useful, and so is collecting and combining information to form some coherent overall presentation, but office work today is also often about working with information from many different sources, and examining it in different ways, and doing these things collaboratively and in real time. There are many successful online tools based on these ideas today, but a lot of them are an attractive UI on top of simple functionality like storing team to-do lists and providing real-time chat. I'm not sure how many of these systems can cope with larger projects and more demanding work yet, the kind of thing that might be written up in a word processor as a set of 100-page reports that would form the basis for a multi-year project, or managed using spreadsheets with many tables and complicated formulae to derive the information that users need in a convenient format.

Personally, I think there's a lot of potential yet for more powerful and useful and productive office software, but not within the narrow bounds of the traditional model that the likes of MS Office and LibreOffice follow. Unless you have people looking at the big picture and being creative about how to represent information and interact with it, discussions about what colour the chrome should be or whether to use a traditional toolbar or context-sensitive ribbon probably have relatively little value. There is only so much benefit to achieve with cosmetic tweaks, no matter how pretty your icons are.

They raise about $820 million and just spent virtually all of it, outside of operating expenses on marketing. For almost a year, they were advertising everywhere before they had even launched. If i am not mistaken, i think they were boasting of the highest number of pre-launch signups for any company. So that already gave them a huge valuation and potential traction.

They eventually launched, with a mixed reception, but they had enough numbers to keep them relevant.
Just got a flyer in the mail offering $10 off my next 3 purchases. That's not cheap.
I remember that I was snobbish about my Django skills... with my college buddy who would build Wordpress sites for a buck or two here and there.

The guy is in Chicago right now and gets a lot of business from engineering firms. He is doing phenomenally well, he gets about 30-40k from (what appears to be) 20-40 hours of setting up fairly basic things with Wordpress.

That guy taught me well about my being snobbish.

Typically it means 6 months of expenses you can't get rid of if you have to.

So if you current budget says that you need $500 a month in groceries, but you know you could get that down to $200 with realistic sacrifice, you count the $200 not the $500.

That interpretation is a bit too literal in my opinion; I'm guessing the author meant "smart" in a more colloquial sense. People who have some combination of being well educated and intelligent are often simply referred to as "smart".

I've thought a bit about what living in a "post-truth" era really means, and I think that it comes down to a lack of accountability for lying. If there are people who support a candidate and don't care whether that candidate is lying to them or not, we're all in a bad situation.

I find it fascinating that it's still considered to be shocking or unacceptable to call somebody a liar -- as if we prefer media that is complicit in the lack of consequences for lying.

Opportunity. The longer you wait to have children, the harder it'll be to raise them and really participate in their lives unless you do manage to become some true success story.

I'm almost 34, unlikely to be married for at least another year (based on current relationship's progression), and don't want kids until we've been together for at least 3 years (I want us to have an opportunity now to act as a couple, so we have that relationship and not just children holding us together for the rest of ours lives). So I'm basically not planning to have kids until I'm 37. That's assuming this relationship works out. I'll be 55 when the youngest might graduate high school. 60 when they graduate college. They'll have children in, what, 10-15 years after that if they imitate me? So I'll see grandchildren when I'm 70-75. I'll never see great-grandchildren. And, thanks to already existing issues with my back, my mobility is going to be reduced each year despite my efforts to stay in shape. I won't be able to take my children camping and hiking like I'd like to. Neither the challenging areas, nor the long backpacking trips. I'll be able to watch them participate in physically challenging activities, but unable to participate myself. Parenting at a distance.

OTOH, had I pursued relationships more actively in my early 20s, I could have the kids out of the home by my mid-40s. That 10+ year difference is huge. It may have impacted my long term earning potential. Or, it could have given me better motivation at the time to maximize my income, for the sake of the family, rather than being contented with more middling offers because it was just my wellbeing and interests at stake.
The West and China are playing a global chess game and have been for some time. An impoverished China was not in the West's interests and so they agreed to buy all kinds of lowish tech Chinese made goods. In return most jurisdictions enforced a balance of trade with China, with the exception of the US.

On their end China insisted on joint ventures and technology transfer to the extent Western companies would comply. Western companies were reluctant to give up their best tech so China ended up with last generate tech which, still, was way better than it had. This was a status quo that benefited both sides enough that it worked well enough for 20 to 30 years.

Now the stakes are getting higher. China wants to level up by buying foreign tech companies with, essentially, state capital and the West naturally doesn't see that to be in their interests and so they block those purchases.

The West wants to enter China with their latest internet block busters and China doesn't see that in their interests and so they block that but, more often in a soft way. They open the door, allow foreign companies to enter and train locals in the technology and then slam the door when they gain traction.

Both sides are well aware of the stakes and the situation what's evolving are the techniques and strategies of the competitors. It's a big boy's game for large nation states and if you're not that big you're likely to take some bruises. If you're a fan of raw capitalism though pull up a chair and a beer and watch the game.
What a great euphemism for calling her a shameless opportunist (I say this as a Clinton supporter). If you're happy to judge her actions, then do so because her actions have been very, very clear! You are not voting for the platform, you are voting for the Clinton dynasty and the predominant wing of the Democratic party at the expensive of true progressive reforms that would bring us more in line with European social democracies.
The heritability of IQ is often estimated at 0.4 according to Wikipedia. Not very high, but not insignificant. Height has 0.8 heritability.

Even if you're a genius, it doesn't mean your child will be. I think 0.4 suggests environmental factors are more important.

I did not read the entire piece, but I think that you can read the snopes article without the related piece and see that they do not rate the claim (about Hillary defending a rapist) properly.

The claim, as stated, is true.

Snopes then goes on to defend the implications of the statement--implications that Snopes interprets.

I'm not sure an organization that deals in facts should be interpreting the tone/meaning/intended result of claims that it checks.

I would have liked Snopes to rate the claim true, and then provide details about the case. Readers can then decide for themselves how to think about those details.

Someone out there needs to deal strictly in facts and not the implications, greater meanings, or feelings related to those facts.

"Claim is true. X happened, Y happened, Z happened. Here are sources. Here's what people involved said."

Both good reasons. My personal use case happens to make these issues unimportant: mounting remote file stores that are only accessed by me. But I guess for mulitply-accessed files on the local network, nfs headaches may be worth the trouble.
As a 27 Yr old guy in SF, I agree with bot style dating.

I started out wanting to find a healthy relationship possibly leading to marriage and a happy life.

Then I realized that for women, dating is a hell lot easier today. They literally need to just swipe right because pretty much every man swipes right on every woman.

Poor women go in thinking these men want relationships.

So, even when they meet an above average guy, they think that this awesome guy really likes her(when the reality is he just wants a hookup)

As a result, women end up obsessing over the awesome guy and keep flaking on the genuine normal guy.

I ended up doing the same thing awesome guys do...meet a lot of women, and don't expect a good personality or anything good in return from women. Just hookup.

Am I happy? No. But at least I get laid.

TLDR:
Women put in zero effort I'm dating and flake a lot. Average women expect above average men. The juice is not worth the squeeze.
As a user, maybe that should be enough. Maybe not. It depends on the app and how critical the data/state is, I guess.

As a developer, trying to implement requirements set by a product designer/owner who thinks saving the data is critical even if the user doesn't cooperate, the api is useful to have.

It also verifies signatures before it will execute the update, so even if that source were hacked it wouldn't have been affected.
I like Scott Adam's take: http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/07/care...

To be especially valuable and impactful, it's easier to be very good at two things and own the intersection than it is to be the best at one thing.
You're too old. This gets back to the basic 'ageism' issue in tech, which is real and alive for many, and discounted as non-existent by others (usually much younger folks!)

Most of the 'older' tech folks I know take a while to get new jobs - took a friend of mine more than 9 months. This has nothing to do with actual skills/abilities, it's (at best, being charitable here) perception of skills/abilities.

Times have changed. When my parents were in their twenties, they were buying their first house, having kids, and starting up the (relatively certain) career ladder. If you're in your twenties today, there's no way you're thinking about either of these because you're saddled with six figures of student loan debt, and do not have the employment certainty it takes to take root in an area to buy a home.

What do you mean? I can't help but thinking that your statement is somewhat not related to Silicon Valley and tech, but rather something political (e.g Europeans disliking Trump) or some military/intelligence incident. Am I wrong? Either way, nationalism is only good to some degree.
Depends. Netflix doesn't get any kind of sweetheart deal with AWS. As far as I'm aware the prices they pay are exactly the same as what any other high volume customer would pay.

I agree with what your comment, but perhaps a better solution (instead of having children earlier) would be to freeze eggs and sperm and use them when you are ready. The only problem then would be whether an older mother's body would be more likely to experience problems, and if it is, whether the cost to hire a surrogate would be less than the cost of earlier parenthood.
Ask HN: How much is an interesting job worth?
I was getting tired of my current position, I wasn't making enough, I was losing interest/passion in the work that I was doing, and I felt like I wasn't moving anywhere in my current company... so I applied for two startups (one yc backed) and was fortunate enough to get offers from both.

I never thought I say this, but I hate the fact that I have a choice. I don't want to choose. I can't. I need help.

Without boring you with the details it boils down to two options (everything else being equal):

1) Move to a city I'm not excited about for a sexy job with a sexy product for pretty much the same pay I have now (after COL increase).

2) Stay in my city for a slightly more interesting job (although same essential role), with lots of flexibility, great company culture, and a substantial increase in pay.

At what point does pay and benefits outweigh job interest?

How do you figure out how much an interesting job is worth?
