Visited the site, dismissed the pop-up, scrolled to the bottom, saw that every book had just one mention. Wound up spending more time reading comments and looking at the list, don't think I'll return as the biggest problems do not seem fixable. You are using Amazon links as a substitute for actual linguistic processing to parse out book names. It may be possible to use the links to prime the pump by creating a list of titles, then re-scanning all comments for closer approximations of those titles but I don't know the fesability of that.
Lets go further: nationalize drug companies. Do this to all the drugs.
Your data isn't safe unless every program can handle being randomly killed. The power can always go out.

Now, once all your programs can be immediately killed, why would you ever not want to do that?
Yes, it is. I think the sentence that follows the one you quoted provides the required context. It's up to the founder or cofounder to determine and prioritize the value of inputs. This is why such an emphasis is put on the people (often over the idea itself) in startups.

To be clear, I didn't say the greater the number of inputs, i.e. use all of the colors until they are a brown mess.
To be fair, that small-town SE in Tennessee probably won't have much trouble saving for a house. On the contrary, making $100K, or just under, in Tennessee is going to make you comparably very well-off.

The median home price in Nashville (one of the more desirable areas in the South) is $205K, while in San Fran, it's over a million. Using the old-standard of 3-4X gross income for a property, the developer in TN can afford a really nice house.
It's a nice simple tool for editing lists. Much better than Notes for this.
The way I got people in my lab to start complying with some best practices is by linking everything back to bench top work. It would be unacceptable to run in vitro experiments the way people write software in science. You need to run controls (unit tests), you need to write your procedure down in your lab notebook (comments, version control) etc

Oh, something like LispWorks has extensive support for using images, too. It has a very extensive application/library delivery mechanism based on images.

LispWorks can also save 'sessions', even automatically as periodically timed events. Even without quitting Lisp. Sessions are basically IDE states (files, listener history, lisp image, windows, ...).

MobX looks interesting but I am a little concerned that you are claiming it is bug-free.
It's about replicas.
I couldn't really proceed without a business co-founder. I enjoy building stuff from the idea to a shipped product, but at that point and before it I would totally need support from a co-founder who is good at business, marketing and other magic stuff I find boring and tedious.

You can't just build an universal rule like the title suggests, data is meaningless in individual cases. "Data shows people can live underwater" ;)

what is really amazing is the epi pen, even for those who need it, is a tiny fraction of our healthcare costs. the gorilla in the room is doctors pay, in which the US purposely keeps low in supply to keep the wages high.

doctors easily make north of 200k after residency(a number almost no engineer will ever come close to), and people complain over hundred dollar epi pens.
Now you're having less fun, but I feel like we have this idyllic fantasy of cofounder - not unlike a romantic partner. It sounds exciting and exhilarating, but what are the odds that it ends in divorce (liquidation)?
And even if you don't use GNOME3, Gtk3 is now required by Firefox, including Firefox gtk3 bugs, which will be fixed in Firefox. Most importantly the many regressions of Gtk3 itself. Gtk3 was a good refactoring to support Wayland and HiDPI, but it's not stable or fast yet for everyone, like Gtk2 has been. I accept the fact when gtk devs argue that gtk2 has many architectural bugs, but day to day as a user I don't notice them, and I very much prefer the old file dialog, for instance.

Gtk3 may be faster in theory due to GPU acceleration as a possibility, but when Gtk 3.20 for a split second shows a black rectangle for each new dialog while it's opening, I have a hard time taking their gpu acceleration argument seriously.

I tried building Firefox 48 with gtk2, but it crashed in the file dialog, while the gtk3 build is slower and introduces gui regressions (yes, I've reported the gtk3 bugs). Right now I cannot move past Firefox ESR with gtk2, and I hope I can still use Firefox next year.

What I'm saying is that GNOME3's stack (especially Gtk3) doesn't seem to work outside GNOME3 as compatibly as Gtk2 does, and it may be what's intended, if past communication from the GNOME dev team is any indication.

I'm surprised that the original warrants were signed in the first place.

And who the hell approved a raid? What happened to two police officers knocking on your door? Why are all suspects considered felons (the only offense class I can conceive of that could deserve a raid) for the purpose of serving a warrant? Do police pay for damages in cases where a raid is excessive force?
This is an interesting comment, but it's completely irrelevant in the context of the article. They are defining 'family' as PhD student-advisor relationship, not a biological one.

I like to propose Ledger (http://ledger-cli.org), a command-line double-entry accounting system, which is account and currency agnostic, featuring filtered reports, budgeting, forecasting, time-keeping, a Python module, and much more.
There are great tools for that in both Scala and Haskell.

In Scala you can use var, which is easy.

In Haskell you can write your algorithm using ST and then use it as a pure function by means of runST. The type system guarantees that all such state is local to the invocation.
Wow.

(I don't have any idea of what I'm talking about but) it occurs to me that if a robot does this for the frames of its video input with a regular camera, then on static environments the output of SLAM would be great.

Also, just predict what you will see after you move from the CAD scene, move, compare the actual new image with the predicted one, and dedicate most computing resources to what differs the most - now you have a robot with attention to unrecognized objects!
Maybe someone more familiar with the biotech industry will comment, but it's my impression there have been some market success as well. Keeping that incentive to innovate is important.
Botwiki (botwiki.org) is an open-source catalog of "friendly, useful, artistic online bots", and tools and tutorials that can help you make them.

I started this project shortly before the recent hype around bots, and it focuses mostly on the "indie" side of bots and botmaking, with things like Monthly Bot Challenge (which is currently on hold, but resuming hopefully soon), badges (using Mozilla's Open Badges), and soon, botmaking workshops.

Once the data is in the cell, changing cell formatting is a nondestructive visual layer. But while inputting data, cell formatting changes the interpretation of the input, which is destructive.

The article describes in some detail how inputting SEPT2 in a cell with default formatting displays 9/2/2016, but is stored as 42615 (which you get if you later change the cell to text formatting).
As an ex-Unix kernel developer, I always thought FreeBSD and OpenBSD were just more comfortable environments for me than Linux. However, the desktop experience, and especially getting X to work well with my hardware (multiple monitors and graphics cards for example) eventually won me over and I simply try to find a Linux distro that supports my hardware best.

I agree with qwertyulop924 who points out its nice being able to understand the system's configuration. Now though, I'm with johnchristopher, manually configuring Xorg is where I reach my limit and just want it to be magically done for me.
It would seem that a raid is never excessive force :/
Yes, and that's what jcbeard meant too.
The majority of the comments here are interesting to me because they're talking about the cost of an epi-pen after insurance. The problem doesn't seem to be some mismatch of the interplay between drug price and insurance rebate but just how incredibly expensive an epi-pen is in America because of a lack of collective bargaining on price.

For comparison, here in Australia, the dispensed price for an epi-pen is 96.57AUD which includes everything, even the maximum markup from the pharmacist (as far as I understand the pricing mechanisms). Of course, depending on insurance arrangements and personal circumstances you'll end up paying less with a maximum of 38.30AUD out of pocket but that's a different part of the system.

I don't see how the dysfunction is any of the things mentioned in this article as opposed to the ridiculous prices insurance companies and patients are being charged for it. Many drugs expire quickly, are hard to administer, and are difficult to make. All that means is that we need them done well and we need to pay the least we can.
> Was it everyone agreeing to follow the "main founders" vision, and him being respectful and not ego driven (so that the vision became shared?)

Pretty much exactly that plus providing the seed round. In practice, this also definitely had a lot to do with things working out well to have a center piece that's stable, predictable and a little detached, quite the opposite of a show-off. Buying into a main vision and then transferring it into a vision for tech, marketing, sales, product and operations was much easier that way.

Equity split was 50:others by the way.

Now you might argue this isn't a "real" as in "more equal" cofounder dynamic, but giving away 50% of your company before even starting and then treating those people as equals made a lot of difference, including an enormous buy-in at all key builders of the company. After having experienced how well it played out, I'd do it the same way.
Oh, I agree that a startup needs an executable vision. However if someone provides just the vision but doesn't put as much work in as everybody else that's an advisory role, not a co-founder role, and should be reflected in the equity distribution.

The thing is that vision is just so much easier than actually doing the grinding grunt work.

I'm concerned about the mobile-friendly options for MM. Slack has pretty good iOS apps (and others, but I've never tried them). Does MM have quality mobile apps?

As someone who actively works researching personality psychology, I can fully attest to this.

There actually seems to be somewhat of a Dunning-Kruger like effect when it comes to people evaluation skills. Generally, those who appear the most confident about their people judgements, also seem to be those who are wildly speculative and inaccurate about what other people are thinking.

The project is open source, what you're complaining about is that the LDAP feature isn't free. You have to try to understand that they can't pour in thousands of hours across a development team without making money. How are their developers gonna get paid?

The golden nugget with these kind of projects, from these kind open source-minded companies, is that being a paying customer contributes greatly to a better and healthier product with regular feature additions. Compared to the more frequently found companies that is closed source, commerical-only and only provide bugfixes I think that it is perfectly fine that the LDAP-feature is behind a paywall.
Telegram is dangerous snake oil, and its use should be discouraged.

But why? That rifle in particular was designed to be cheap to make and operate. Why buy a replica that costs more? Why not buy a real one?
However, based on my experience, VCs do prefer startup with at least two co-founders in case one is, unlikely but possible, deceased.

Unconstitutional, but I would rather them have declared it outright illegal. Unconstitutional means the evidence gathered cannot/probably will not be used in the case against the blogger. It means that the inevitable civil rights complaint will have more teeth. But the people who did the raid are not in handcuffs. The court is not identifying a criminal act, nor really is that their role.

The FBI, state, or some other higher agency will have to investigate at their leisure, if they even want to get involved. Such decisions have consequences in an election year. I would rather allow judges to initiate prosecutions, or at least have them force the prosecution's hand where the wrongdoing of law enforcement is so obvious.
Fully acknowledging that some of the things they have issues with, my startup also has issues with, BUT:

My startup is under 2 years old, in the same space, and with a much smaller team. We have solved almost all of the technical problems twitch faces, and even released many other features that Twitch is only now also working on.

We have regularly looked at this market and what keeps fueling twitch's success, and strictly speaking people go where the content is. It has NOTHING to do with the user experience of the product, nothing to do with the quality of the tech. If there are 500 people streaming the game you want to watch on twitch and 10 on another platform, the viewers stay on twitch.

Anyway, it is an interesting problem, and one that all competitors in this space are facing. And has clearly not pushed twitch out in any way.

I think you listed many things that require links to bugs or some specific descriptions. Otherwise the post just looks like FUD. Network manager works for usual configs. Update alternatives existed for years, but most apps respect setting $EDITOR. Most services can be simply disabled without overrides. Etc.

Sure, there may be issues. But both the list and mentioned solutions seem extraordinary.
IRC die-hard here. Zulip is the only one of these Slack-like services I could ever see coming close to replacing IRC for me.
Yes the pattern is the same, more often than not developers feel the same pain developing things that breaks UX, as the users who use them
I think it would make more sense to simply have a government owned corporation who's sole purpose is to produce generic drugs on which the patent has expired.
I opened the developer tools and added `style="display:none" to the relevant layer, and unchecked the "overflow:hidden" style. Given that this is HN I suspect many other did the same.
Implementation details can be important features of open source products.
Ha! Like they've been innovating in antibiotics for 40 years? In case folks have not been paying attention, zero innovation occurred there.

Currently its all about restless legs and secondary asthma relief and snake-oil mixtures of drugs rebranded under goofy names.

The drug companies have largely abdicated their responsibilities. For profit. What remains are money-making shells. Can't we just do without them? They are adding friction at this point.
Steam could launch their own streaming video platform. I don't see any reason why they haven't done so already. They're in a perfect spot for it.
I've been customer of mailbox.org for just over a year now. I can't assess the quality of their security, or the lengths they'd go to protect customer privacy, though they seem to know what they're doing. We had a Linux consultant from Heinlein Support at the last place I worked for, and he did his job very well.

I'm also pretty happy with the Card+CalDav-offerings from mailbox.org.

With their customer support, however, im rather disappointed:

mailbox.org offers what they call "Familienaccounts" (non-commercial accounts, meant to share, among other things, calendars and contacts with one another [0]).

Grouping existing accounts into "Familenaccounts" by means of contacting their support team used to be a feature that was offered (and advertised) by mailbox.org, and a feature that I've used for two of my family members in the past.

For some technical reason or other, mailbox.org is unable to convert existing accounts into Familienaccounts any more. This wouldn't be that much of a problem (workaround was to backup data, cancel one account, get that account's credit refunded, ask them to remove that account from their list of blocked accounts, recreate that account as a "Familienaccount", pay for the new account and restore the backed up data).

What rubbed me the wrong way was that it took a month of to and fro emailing with mailbox.org support just to get that information (while they still advertised being able to convert accounts on their website).

When we decided to implement the workaround, it took another month from cancelling the old account to getting the new one working, with my wife unable to receive emails for some time inbetween.

I will continue to use mailbox.org, but in my opinion they really need to improve their support.

There are various entities that collectively bargain drug prices in the US. It's just that other groups and individuals may not have access to the prices they achieve.

(several large insurers provide coverage for more people than live in Australia)

It seems the problem in the US is that a patent that "improves" a product ends up creating a new period of exclusivity (it's not clear to me if this is just because the improved version becomes the new standard of care or because people are nuts and demand the very best regardless of whether the difference is particularly significant).
> I've cofounded 4 different startups. ... Since then, I've managed my own single-founder startup."

My suspicion is without the previous cofounded failed startups, unlikely you would have the success later in the game because then you know what you are doing and making up the other half by experience. Can't imagine the success rate of a first-time solofounder who makes to the other side. It's not impossible, but probably very difficult.
You are asking a good question. I love programming/solving maths problems more than any other work activity but I wonder if I have made a mistake with turning this hobby into my job or if the environment is the problem. I'm going through some big changes in my life now, so time will tell.

> I'm only interested in time series databases for use by developers and operations to store and retrieve data that pertains to the health and performance of the services they build and operate. Everything in this blog will judge the entries based on their suitability for that task.

That is a very particular problem, in which the data storage is a minimal [yet important] aspect of the full system.

You're probably going the wrong route if you're trying to redesign your own and you'll only realize that way too late when you'll have to design your own metrics collection, own graphing, own alerting, own...

The standard proven open-source stack:

collectd/statd (metrics collection + whipser/graphite (storage) + grafana (cute graphs and dashboards).

The latest fad is to replace graphite with prometheus (which is better in some aspects but has it own fault).

Both these open source tools will satisfy your purpose.

HARDCORE LIMITATIONS: Both these open source tools are entirely single node. There is no form of sharding nor high availability nor horizontal scaling.

(Rules of thumb: Should be fine up to 100 hosts and applications. Then get ready to throw big hardware and tune retention aggressively.)

---

Some quick maths:

8 bytes per metrics * every 5 second = 967 kB per metrics over the week

967 kB per metric * 100 metrics per host * 100 hosts = ~10 GB per week for high precision

Any of the parameter can spiral by tenfold (depending on the setup, retention, hosts, metrics per app...). That means going straight into TB range and scaling issues where one node is simply out of the question.

---

It's pretty clear that the open source solutions don't scale and are hard to maintain... so what's next when we outgrow them?

Switch to the latest generation of monitoring tools. The two best solutions are datadog and signalfx. They both accept custom metrics from your app.

And... oh wait I just noticed that dataloop.io is a new SaaS solution trying to compete with them. Oops :D
Seems pretty cool!
I think this is what always turns me off from using Linux on the desktop as my main. With Arch do you feel you have a better sense of why things break when they do? Tempted to try it out because of things like what you said.
The market for drugs like that generally functions quite well. Like a cash price of ~$5 a month well.
