> It seems like a hassle but it's no different from cleaning your feet before stepping inside the house after playing in the park.

I mean, you can make that exact argument about every annoying thing you have to do that wastes 1-5 minutes of your time. But over time, especially as a software programmer, if you don't automate those away, it really hurts your productivity.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he earned little or no money from most of his clubs, posing as an injured player desperately hoping to resurrect his career who was willing to train with them on a contract structured mostly on a pay-as-you-play basis. I suspect his limitations as a footballer were slightly exaggerated too: Brazilian Wikipedia records him as having made 15 appearances for Fluminense, one of Brazil's bigger clubs, at one stage of his career. As for the fans, I doubt many of them cared about or even knew the name of a free transfer signing in the reserve squad.

That theory doesn't fit with the narrative that well, but if there's one thing we know for sure about him it's that he knows how to spin a good story to the media.

Additionally you cannot send an email from foobar+dontspamme@gmail.com. If you aggressively use the + character for legitimate signups but need customer support they may not be able to find your account as easily (e.g. "we couldn't find an account associated with e-mail foobar@gmail.com").
I think this point could open the door to a more interesting conversation if we take pot out of the equation.

I do agree that we need to legalize pot, and I can see how for some people it would have this effect. In my experience, it's not so much that pot replaces the effects of alcohol (much different effects as mentioned by others), the real impact for me is just being in the habit of using one over the other to alter consciousness/relax.

Considering the wide range of molecules that are psychoactive, it is interesting to consider what 'drugs' could be seen as a better alternative to alcohol. Interested if anyone here has ideas on what less harmful substance(s) could step in to fill this role?
At risk of being called overly-PC, I must point out that the opening sentence is could be seen as objectifying women:

>Brazilian soccer star Carlos Kaiser had it all: exclusive contracts with popular teams, money, fame, and women.

I normally don't point out things like this, because hyper-sensitivity to things that are often considered "offensive" when they really aren't can be annoying. But I can't see how to interpret this other than "women" being a possession.

To be fair, the author isn't likely being malicious, and I think he just means that he's receiving the attention of lots of women. Such attention is, arguably, an "object" in the sense of a commodity in the social marketplace ("that guy has a lot of women" is often seen as a compliment whether you like it or not). But still, I'm surprised at how much the author's choice of words bothered me. I don't even identify as a feminist in the traditional sense....shrug.
How about the caller id that's being sent has to match the billing number and company ?

So society is in the wrong and not their lazy apathetic ass? Got it.
Legislators aren't insiders. Insider trading requires being an employee, board member, or otherwise owing a fiduciary duty to the company. The crime hinges on breaking that duty.

It does _not_ mean merely trading on so-called "insider information", unless you're in cahoots with an insider who will benefit directly or indirectly.

If it were otherwise, trading on a "hot tip" about a stock could put anybody at risk of federal felony charges, no matter how far removed they were from the company. That would be ridiculous.

Insider trading also requires trading on material, non-public information. Few employees have access to that; usually only C-level executives and board members have that kind of information before it's made public. Many of the trading window restrictions imposed on you by your employer aren't required by the law or SEC regulations. Often it's to maximize the window that large investors and stock holders (including executives, through their trusts!) can profit on big movements, without legions of employee stock option holders raining on their parade.

That said, the SEC can be super aggressive about insider trading, whether or not any court would ultimately permit the charges to stick. They'll go after people with a noose in one hand and a slap on the wrist in the other; most sane people know which to choose. Racking up plea deals makes the SEC look effective at policing the market when in fact they're anything but. Which is why the decision a couple of years ago by the 2nd Circuit reaffirming the law of insider trading really upset the SEC.

Honestly, I'd rather that all Congressmen's investments were made public. Unlike the law discussed in the article, it could be anonymized before publication for all I care. But transparency would make it less profitable for Congress to trade on insider information because people could follow and mimic their trades. And big corporate investors might then pressure companies to stop disclosing so much information. That'd be a far preferable state of affairs than trying to criminalize trading on non-public information. Everybody and their Uncle tries to trade on non-public information; that's exactly how the market is supposed to work--provide a profit motive to uncover non-public information and effectively make it public by pricing it into the stock.

And a Congressman trying to subvert the transparency rules provides much more clear-cut culpability. Otherwise there's too much plausible deniability regarding the how, what, and why of their trades.
Not to mention that many spamming setups have known about the + trick for a long time and will trim it out.

According† to https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

The recent Marshmallow has 15.2% market share

Lollipop (14.1% + 21.4%) = 35.5% (the greatest share)

KitKat has 29.2% (the next greatest share)

Jelly Bean† still has (6.0% + 8.3% + 2.4%) = 16.7%

Earlier than Jelly Bean is 3.4% of the total share. Jelly Bean was first unveiled in June 2012, four years ago. I think given the development model: large ecosystem of hardware companies, alternative software stacks like Kindle and Cyanogen, a good chunk of it being open-source; given all that I'll forgive Google that we all can't upgrade to Nougat on the day of its release.

As a techie you have to know by now that if you want an up to date version of Android you ought to get a Nexus or a brand which has guaranteed frequent into the future updates. There's not much point in claiming that you're "stuck" at this point.

I guess, but I prefer the wireless charging of the Nexus 5 to the USB-C connector of the 5x. Of course it would be nice to have both. Hopefully this year's versions bring back the wireless charging.

No? What does that have to do with anything?

>Do we really want to also deal with the not-fully-compliant HTTP client or making sure we support HTTP/2, or do we want to use widely accepted solutions for those so we can focus on the real problem at hand (which is usually not the intricacies of HTTP negotiation, or some other well understood and supplied need).

> When I come home, there's my girlfriend. Sure I love her and I definitely can't afford my own rent, but sometimes I just wish I could come home to an empty apartment, you know?

This may be naïve, but have you and her talked about this? I understand it may be possible for her to interpret wrong, but it sounds like something that you two can work out without needing to rent a separate apartment.
>Requiring an investment to be a hedge against another investment to not be considered a bet

not to be considered a "casino" bet. You added generalizations which clearly weren't in my post. I was talking about buying put options (CDS, derivatives) without having comparable exposure to the risks in the underlying assets.

>is arbitrary and nonsensical.

Having or not such mentioned above exposure defines clearly opposite set of interests and behaviors in the market, and thus provides a significant and valid characteristic to separate those 2 classes of investors and investments. People who buy insurance for their homes have completely different interests from the people who would buy a CDS for the real estate of the town without owning any real estate in the town - the later would profit handsomely if the town is completely burned by a fire while no fires during contract period of the CDS would mean total loss of their bet. Seems like a casino bet, only on big fire event instead of a 36 black.
This is one of the few points I have to criticize as well. GitLab's design is a bit too chaotic for me. It's missing visual dividers in a lot of places, especially in the issue tracker. Also GitHub feels better on horizontally smaller screens.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this made it into the final version of N. I can't find it anywhere in the settings anyway.
Even if they do, that's worlds better than saying "One of your servers looks like it's doing something bad, so we will shut down your entire Google/AWS account automatically. We won't tell you what server it is or what it's doing that we think is bad. There's no way to talk to a person at all. Your only hope is to either post something on social media and hope it gets noticed, or restart your business on a platform that actually knows what support is."
Ask HN: Script Library Generator?
I am looking for a way to make a simple, searchable script library site (internal network only) for knowledge sharing purposes. One use case is when an ad-hoc SQL query is written, the script can be placed in a wiki-like thing and used by various analysts.

I have been looking at static site generators, but most seem to be blog oriented, and don't fit the "bunch of small objects" format this will eventually grow to. As a Python shop I find MkDocs [1] easiest to start with, but when we reach dozens of various scripts, I am concerned it will get unwieldy.

Any recommendations? Something written in Python, Go or Perl would be optimal as those are the languages we can best contribute features and fixes to.

Driving times might decrease more than the simulation suggests -- if the cars are able to co-ordinate their stops and starts, avoiding the "accordion effect" so common with human-piloted cars in traffic.

It's true that progress is slow, partly because not enough people are tinkering and innovating in this space. We're trying to fix that by getting affordable starter kits into the hands of more developers.We saw a big gap in the market in terms of innovation at the edge especially using cellular technologies. Technologies like CAT-M and Narrowband should make this gap even smaller.

The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: civil and substantial.

The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by giving more information about the topic, perhaps from personal experience. Whereas comments like "LOL!" or worse still, "That's retarded!" teach us nothing.

Yap saw it. A large company someone new hired. Hung around for about a year, managed to write 100 lines of code. Only 10 were ever accepted after peer review.

However come meeting time, would be very vocal about random technologies -- we'd talk about spawning a process and he'd chime in how you can do this complicated kernel trick with signals, or shared memory and whatnot. At first everyone was impressed. Heck, I was.

After a while nobody saw any results from him though. When came time to show his results he started to claim to have health issues. So was gone for a while.

After a couple of months the manager caught on and kept assigning him different tasks hoping they'd finally find something he's good at. Would get as simple task, yet instead of just doing it, he would re-frame as some complicated theoretical problem, which needed research and the solution needed something like P vs NP solved in order to deliver it. Not sure if someone in the end explicitly told him that "Look Pete, it is a test function, just write the test function. You don't have to solve P vs NP to do it". (Pete is not his real name)

But yeah he was invited to depart, after collected a nice salary for about a year. He's probably at another company now doing the same thing.

Should be: "this is a generalization". It's understandable though.

Again understandable, but should be something like "I am not criticizing your argument".

This resonates a lot with me. Whenever I participate in a social gathering there are already long-established "cliques" and they just talk among themselves.

Because few companies can own their entire infrastructure? I'd rather restart my server in a different AZ and have Amazon deal with tracking down an intermittent networking issue than to pay a senior network administrator to open a ticket with Cisco and try to replicate it on our lab.

Likewise, I really don't want to pay a power engineer to troubleshoot why our automatic transfer switch failed to transfer after a power failure and it took down our entire datacenter, I'd rather let Amazon deal with that while I failover to my backup servers in another AZ or region.

And my 100mbit ethernet handoff with a DS3 backup doesn't give me much clout with the teleco when the network is down, but AWS's multiple OC-192's (?) gives them a lot more leverage and more redundancy.

Owning your own infrastructure doens't mean that you don't have to deal with a third party provider, but it does ensure that you're caught in the middle of it more often.

As I've gotten older I've become more and more picky about who I want to spend time with.

It used to be, when I was a lot younger, that I would be pretty indiscriminate: as long as someone wanted to spend time with me, and they were nice enough, and we could find something to do together that we enjoyed, like watching a movie, playing a game, or just hang out and talk about something (usually meaningless), that would be enough.

But as I got older, I started to see that as a waste of time, and started to notice how little I had in common with the people I spent time with, and how rarely we talked about or did anything that was really meaningful for me, and it started to bother me.

So, over the years I've lost touch with most of my old friends.. and, as I'm not very social, and I'm usually quite content with my own companionship, I really haven't gone to the great trouble of finding new friends, especially now as my standards have gotten so much higher.

The result? I've pretty much no friends left. Occasionally, someone at work reaches out to me, but, really, I recognize that we have little in common, and I usually don't respond in kind. So I'm pretty much alone, and probably will remain so for the rest of my life. Usually I'm ok with that, but sometimes I notice some couples or groups of friends around me, having fun, laughing together, and it bothers me. But not enough for me to make a big change in my life.

In early 2000's, as B2B Product Manager, I implemented a similar customer outreach program. We will reverse lookup the name associated with visitor IP address and then look into our own sales contact database for contacts in that company. Depending on contact quality, we will reach out to them using phone, email or personal visit from a sales rep in the area.

A few times, we decided to hold 'lunch-and-learn' type in-person events in a region based on the regional concentration of IP addresses from prospect companies and search queries from those regions to tailor our presentations.

> Loneliness, longing, does not mean one has failed,

Our modern obsession with failure is really the problem. If "failure" wasn't a thing, we'd get up and do something, but instead we give ourselves reasons to attack ourselves and make it some existential threat, all the while thinking exercising our intellect will solve all our problems.

Thinking of loneliness will only make you lonelier. Instead, if one acted on it, the natural progression would lead to relationships, love, and babies. Perfectly natural course of action.

Fuck failure. Whoever got you thinking you are a failure is an idiot, so punch them in the mouth, even if that person is you. At least that's doing something about it!
