I actually love this.

I've never worked in the valley, and honestly I feel no pressing urge to based on what I hear with regards to the bias in favour of twenty-somethings who can work 15+ hour days and live off of ramen.

I'm pushing into my mid-thirties this year, I'm married with two young children, and I simply can't work the kind of hours that I could ten years ago.

The thing is, I didn't do it then either, even when I could. I've always had the mentality that if I'm going to commit to your project, you're going to compensate me in cash or equity. It may also be why I'm happier in my career now that I contract than I ever was before. A days (genuinely hard) work for a days pay.

I simply never understood why someone would give so much of themselves for free in the pursuit of someone else's goals without a substantial slice of the pie. I still don't. And I suspect this is in large part why older developers are looked over (although maybe there's more to it).

Good job on the site, it certainly looks like its getting a lot of traction!

Most organizations would rather keep staff away from Facebook as long as they're not in the social media marketing enclave. The temptation of drifting unto your personal Facebook account instead of Facebook for work makes this a laughable proposition but there's always a customer for every product no matter how shitty it is.
NB, but AFAIU fibromyalgia is a condition that's not ruled in, but is made by exclusion -- symptoms not otherwise explained. Mayo's site gives "widespread pain for more than three months -- with no underlying medical condition that could cause pain".

Several of the general / vague symptom conditions are similarly diagnosed.
People praise him because he has a plan in the first place and is working towards achieving it. Whether he succeeds or not, he's atleast making the effort.

This is why people get irritated when he gets criticized because the arguments boil down to "this is so ambitious and will likely fail, so why even try?"

Facebook and Google: most powerful and secretive empires we've ever known
You didn't read, but the (original) author did write.

One of the problems (already solved now) was that the kernel had unlimited access to userspace, ie. once you've found a kernel bug that permits the kernel to do something wrong involving user-supplied arguments, you could prepare data/code and then use the bug to make the kernel read or act on your prepared data. Now that most kernel code is blocked from reading most userspace, you have less ability to direct the kernel's behaviour when you want to exploit a bug.

There's more. It's good stuff.

I agree. In underdeveloped countries however, the number of people working in agriculture is much closer to 90%. The tech clearly exists to improve productivity in these countries, but the problems are (mostly) political and economic. In particular, dumping from the US distorts local commodity prices. This makes investment in new technology impossible for local producers. This is an area where lots of technologically advanced people have been working for a long, long time. If the advantage that YC/SV can add to ag is software and sensors, things are actually pretty advanced in that field (self-driving tractors have been around for 10+ years), just the perception is that farming is still low-tech. If YC believes a startup can provide new ways of thinking about some of these non-tech problems in the space, then there might be an opportunity to make significant improvements, especially in developing countries.
Wasn't JFKs claim that the US would put a man on the moon within a decade seen as overly futuristic/optimistic at the time?
Sorry, the 19th was a timezone issue and is now fixed.

The reason for 2 events/pages are that they are tracking different events.

1) The day of the inauguration (start of the day)
2) The start time of the inauguration ceremony (12pm ET on the 20th).

The latter will allow you to count down the time to the start of the ceremony in your local timezone.
The Secrets to User Onboarding
Could a floating city in the clouds reduce the cost of launching spacecraft?
each city platform would work like a drone and it would be launched to just above its operating altitude and the drone would deploy from it's rocket shell, then rendezvous with other platforms, it could then keep itself in the sky using solar arrays and propellers.

the second stage would be to add solar array only modules to the top and propeler only at the bottom with a living area sandwiched in between.

it could then be reached by traditional aircraft as a stop over for astronauts, and also create fuel for rocket launches.

rockets could then take just enough fuel to land on it and then be refueled from there, before launching again.
My question exactly. I'm 35 and do not consider myself to be old, far from it.
This is a win if and only if there is a fast, competent, reliable security team for the distro.

Suckless doesn't currently have that capability, so... it's not a win, yet.

With enough of this insensitive data a well tuned ai could easily determine a lot of info about the company. Less events organised than previous years, or organised at cheaper venues, coupled with cheaper meals and less building maintenance could very well imply the company is facing hardship and are cutting costs.

Fortune was supposed to be YouTube. And I know I can "disable" it. I don't want to disable it, I want to delete it.
I simply can't work the kind of hours that I could ten years ago.

I find this is true in two ways; not only do I have better things to do now than donate free overtime to my employer, I am far better at not needing to. My best work in recent memory involved reading and thinking and sketching for a day and a half, and then adding six characters and a space to the front of one line of code; a decade ago, there is a real chance I would have ploughed into the problem with rewrites and architecture changes and all sorts of bad ideas.

This does not solve the perennial problem that a less-skilled programmer thrashing away for days appears to be doing a lot more for the company than someone who sits unmoving for a morning and then strokes the code with a feather.
Yes, it was a timezone bug. The page was tracking January 20 (but at midnight in UTC timezone), so some people would see Jan 19, some Jan 20. It's now fixed.
This is one of those reminders I'm glad that is posted to HN.

> allusions to fascist governments are made, which would be fine, if these companies were governments. But they aren't: they have no power.

It only takes one affected person to know what it's like to be spied on and abused with the information at hand. We don't need an entire country to come to shambles to know what such vast information collection could result in. You also seem to be making assumptions that governments cannot force a private company to part with data or that those in power cannot manage to create a warrant just to pay lip service to "due process". Additionally, there is also potential for abuse of the data by the private company's employees. Like how LOVEINT [1][2] exposed the fact that NSA employees used their privileges to spy on and track people in their personal spheres of life, Facebook employees may be doing the same without any kind of monitoring at all. We just don't know yet.

The nitpick being that usually, one order of magnitude = 10x, two orders of magnitude = 100x, and so on. So it's a very exaggerated statement if taken at face value.
It seems to me that prices and wages would rise as a result of raising the floor. The important question is where the money comes from to raise the floor. If it is not from the top end, the gap between rich and poor doesn't change in terms of actual buying power. It may just widen the gap.

HTML 5.1 W3C Proposed Recommendation
renderComponent is not part of any of your components. I think the React equivalent of what you mean is the render method of a component.

The problem I think the OP is talking about is when there is an error thrown somewhere in the react library code (e.g. in renderComponent) and the stack trace doesn't even touch any of your code. That makes it really hard to find the fault behind the error.

This is a lot more common with libraries like RxJS, but I've seen it with React as well.

The only way I know of to deal with these situations is to put console.log calls everywhere in my code until I've narrowed down the source of the bug.

Akamai aquires Concord Systems
I have had a number of customers who have broken our applications, which have daemons listening on localhost, by editing their /etc/hosts files and removing the localhost entry. I guess various people edit /etc/hosts to prevent applications from talking to licensing servers, and in the process happen to accidentally blow away the localhost entry (since these customers don't know what they're doing). We had this happen enough that we eventually stopped using "localhost" and started using 127.0.0.1 in our code.

If a precedent is set (after all cars get recalled all time for flaws) then we would endup with a more secure internet.
(Not that it really matters, but I'm 27...) A few things came to me after reading the post:

Firstly, how this situation shared by the OP and many others is pure insanity. That the very people who grew up with this technology during the baby years are now struggling to have a place now that it really has taken off.

Secondly, for those in their mid-30's and onward, to realize how immensely skilled they likely are at writing (if not already recognizing this fact). One of my favorite parts of staying up to date in this industry is getting to read every and any type of work/post/article from the older guys (still must admit that 37 doesn't feel old to me). Because your time was spent communicating primarily electronically, this skill has spilled over into creative writing and all other forms, which makes for incredibly well-written pieces which keep me going to this very day. So thank you for that.

Thirdly, how amazing it is that a person can now come up with an idea, build out the details and launch the website within 24 hours if truly determined. Loved the website, definitely think that as younger generations start to take advantage of the current tech and build their own on top of it, that there will be a need to differentiate between the various abilities/experience of devs.

Nice work.

Oh go fuck yourself.

Who the fuck are you to try assign blame to someone like this? Someone made a comment and it changed the your perception of the discussion so now you're wagging your finger at them? Get a grip.

As someone pointed out below, pixel art has been made for LCD displays for a long time, starting from all the handheld gaming consoles, and also including all the pixel art made in the last 15 or so years ever since LCD displays became predominant, also CRT computer monitors have much sharper pixels than TVs. At this point there has probably been more pixel art made on and for displays with sharp pixels than for crappy TVs. It's time to let go.
Ironically, suckless.org is a bunch of plan9 elitists. The plan9 elitists are similar to solaris elitists, but have radically different beliefs, and probably believe that Bonwick and Leventhal and the rest should be jailed for working on ZFS, DTrace, Zones, SMF, etc.
>This is simply a list of things the author doesn't like about JS, very much of which is practically solved by Flow/TS and ESLint.

This is a lot more than "simply a list of things the author doesn't like about JS". The first part of the post in fact is totally orthogonal to JS, and all about React Native as a platform/project.

There are a lot of people who bike all year. Though less than in spring-autumn.

You probably need/want winter tires for your bike and it may be cold but sure, it is possible. The bike lanes are usually cleared quickly when it snows.

For me the biking distance would be 14km or so. A bit further than I personally want to bike but not an uncommon biking route.

Which is why the ISS is populated by PhDs in their 40s?

Of course you want the first colonists to not be sickly, but they won't need to be Olympic decathletes in their 20s. Equipment for lifting heavy objects can be sent more cheaply than people (it can go slowly and doesn't need life support).

I think for a venture like this maturity and patience is going to be more important than physical strength. There will be a lot of tedious tasks with long checklists that need to be followed near exactly to succeed. There will be a lot of disappointment and frustration when things fail or timelines slip. There will be the irritations of being stuck in a small social circle with a few people you intensely dislike but have to depend on for survival.

Claiming "we are a family" in a business environment is always a reg flag for me. Team is a much better metaphor. Sports teams back each other up, but ultimately underperformers get dropped. You don't get fired from a family, you don't stop being a brother, sister, father or mother.
Yes, of course, some things are illegal and cannot be agreed to in contracts. I'm not saying contracts should be sacred. I'm saying the contract's meaning should be as clear as possible so courts will agree the license meant what the company intended it to mean. The court can still say the license is illegal or unenforceable, but there should not be a dispute whether it means one thing, which is legal, or another, which isn't.

Having a child is a very personal decision. There are many factors, and for some, they may not feel adoption is right for them.

It doesn't mean "fuck adoption," and it certainly doesn't give you the moral high ground to judge those who decide that having their own child is the right decision for them.

And I'd add that three people having one child is a better ratio than two people having one for purposes of population control if you extrapolate out the math.

As an amateur music dabbler, that's great to hear. I tried Linux in 2011 or so (Ardour maybe?) and gave up, got a Macbook and Logic Pro. But the idea of moving back to Linux full-time on more powerful and repairable hardware is very appealing.

failures are at least as important a dataset as successes. Most technical entrepreneurs i know are very pattern oriented people. And in a way Reducing the datasets to successes will invitably bias their patterns one way.
If the goal of writing about startups is to encourage more entrepreneurs to take the plunge, writing about success is certainly a good way. However, if the goal is to help entrepreneurs make better decisions, and hopefully lead to a higher success rate, then sharing failure stories becomes necessary.

True, but you could if you wanted to.
John X is assigned to project Y with team A but find it very boring for him. So he overengineers in a way so that it only works by solving a very complicated engineering problem that he wants to solve instead (think "developing your own distributed no-sql db" class overengineering).

John X leaves for a more interesting project, team A can't make modifications to the current over-engineered system so they need do a rewrite of a few key components that incurs a huge delay.

And yes, it was not John X's fault. It was the manager's who assigned it to the wrong team and project, and the team leader's that they didn't have working code review process to be able to give JX feedback early to "write code easier to maintain by a less experienced team even if it's maybe less efficient and takes him a bit longer".

So you're right in insinuating that category-three people don't really drag projects down: it happens when they are assigned to the wrong place and when you have teams with broken processes, so objectively speaking, bad management is actually what's dragging things down in this case. But isn't "bad management" close to a pleonasm anyway?
