Coming from the world of classical ballet, this is a very familiar issue.

In ballet, it is often said that the best dancers are the worst teachers.

The very best teachers are the ones who had no talent and spent insane hours trying to figure out which muscles to use, at what moment and with what intensity.
They are the ones who will tell you that you need to push the opposing arm in the turn in order to have enough force for multiple turns without falling over.

The best dancers will tell you to "just turn". They have a natural sense for balance in turns and don't understand why you keep falling over.
there's a difference between grinding out technique and actively confronting the your weaknesses, especially those that have nothing to do with technique e.g confidence, ego etc. there's also the question as to what percentage of practice time is spent trying to replicate the masters as opposed to deepening your understanding of the underlying mechanics or developing intuition.
you learn more from a poor creation than a perfect copy.

as for talent, i still think schmid summed it up the best
'Don't bother about whether or not you have it. Just assume that you do, and then forget about it. Talent is a word we use after someone has become accomplished. There is no way to detect it before the fact... or to predict when or if mastery will click into place.'
Because no company would touch the GPL3 with a 100-ft pole.
That's the least that I expect. The implication that technical people can learn to hold a CEO position and do well is very anti-status quo.

Not really. There are three basic ideas with time travel. Either time is independent so if I go back a second a pick up my wallet I can come back and have two wallets ( aka multidimensional time).

Consistent where doing that only works because a future time traveler took my wallet so I just end up with one (Self consistent aka Harry Potter time travel).

And one way which basically means if I go back there are now two of me and I have to go forward the slow way. Which is separated from the first example by erasing the future when you travel back.

Paradoxes are only an issue in the second example.

Sabotage seems totally plausible, considering that one company is making surprising progress towards us becoming a space faring species. Aliens also seems totally plausible, for the same reason.

If we're going to go nuts over pure speculation, I would prefer that we focus on aliens. They are much more entertaining.
Although I wrote elsewhere that I have limited patience for shows taking too much time to find their "voice," it's certainly fair that some shows do start out tentatively and only grow into memorable series after a season or so. For example, I'd argue that both Star Trek TNG and DS9--especially the former--were much stronger later in their runs.

Of course, there are probably even more series that start out fairly strong but limp on well past their sell by date or just lose the plot so to speak.

You're just outsourcing the impedance mismatch problem to the database. Yes, we can write complex SQL (and I've written some really complex SQL) to combine multitudes of entities together and generate a result. NoSQL databases eliminate this.

Where it becomes extremely impactful is when a database is distributed or sharded across a cluster. If the various tables (article, author, comment) are stored on different servers, it takes time for the database to reassemble them. Moreover, modern web apps often have content that's written once, read many times: blog posts, photo posts, status messages, news articles, advertisements, catalog listings, etc. Why re-do that work of assembling the content every time people want to look at it? When documents are rarely or never edited, the relational model's defenses against "anomalies" become less relevant. Far better to use a document store like MongoDB, which stores a piece of content as an integrated whole at a single place in the database.

It happens when the moderators decide that the title does not accurately reflect the content, or that it is otherwise somehow better served by being something different. Sometimes the change is contentious, sometimes the change is undeniably better.

There is also a short (but variable) window during which the submitter can edit a title, but that's unlikely to be the case in this instance, because to the best of my knowledge the window is at most 2 hours.
They don't like it because it isn't a ticket to a cushy lobbyist position in the industry since Fairchild is gone and isn't a source of new contracts to siphon of tax dollars.

They cook up all sorts of BS excuses about the costs of special support equipment for A-10 (already paid for) while blissfully ignoring the massive waste blown away on JSF and F=22.
Oddly, the 'enemy' in that scenario was NATO. Mobile missiles like Pershing and GLCM were primary targets for the Soviet Spetsnaz and they has an array of specialist weapons for the task.

Being a Pershing crewman was actually quite high-risk.
FYI, the schoolboy is CF Gauss, early 19th century German mathematician who did... tons of stuff. (That's why so much in mathematics and physics is called "Gauss" or "Gaussian.")

The graduate student was George Dantzig. While I think Dantzig is certainly an example of extraordinary natural talent, if your parent comment was looking for examples of talent manifesting itself before any training at all, I don't think this qualifies. As a grad student in math, Dantzig had already spent years studying mathematics by this point.

According to the link I posted their goal is to publish OpenBSD under the terms of the original BSD license (so 2-Clause BSD, 3-Clause BSD, MIT, ISC, etc. are all fine).

The Apache license v2 is more restrictive than BSD-style licenses so they can't include code licensed under it.

Windows has be complex for many many years. I think the issue is Microsoft adjusting to more frequent update and the whole rolling release thing.

They're still rolling out updates as if they where semi-infrequent with loads of internal testing time and the diversity of the PC platform is really working against them.

Still I believe that they will have it have it mostly worked out.... eventually.
Their predictive power depends on the credibility of the premise (are actually vets less violent, non-vets more prone to playing solider-cop), which in both cases is taken for granted.

Interesting comments about this on reddit, namely:

> If SpaceX had ANY and I mean ANY suspicion of foul play they would have called the FBI. The company is not stupid enough to potentially contaminate criminal evidence by running their own investigation along that line. So IF SpaceX was thinking along those lines. It would be the FBI requesting access to the roof.
As such I think foul play can be safely removed from the list of possibilities. This is likely just the case of an employee not thinking though the potential PR headache the request would cause.

Anders Ericsson (mentioned in the story) wrote an accessible book ("Peak") about his research.*

He says that the route to optimal performance is "deliberate practice" and that one of the components of deliberate practice is supervision by a coach who can provide feedback and personalized challenges.

I think that kind of fits with your idea, except that he suggests that the source of feedback should be another person.

* Incidentally, he also debunks the whole "20000 hours" thing and seems not too keen on Malcolm Gladwell.
So if you disagree that companies should be allowed to patent software, mathematics and processes, you might not pick a license that validates the existence of those patents.

This sounds absurd to me. Software patents don't go away because one stops believing in them. Either the courts enforce them or not.

Of course I can't tell what your comfort level with git it. The more expert you are, the more it doesn't matter, and you can use stash safely.

I am not judging anyone or their workflows. It's the stash command that has the problem, because it circumvents git.

That said, my reaction to your comment is that you're taking "commit" too seriously. ;) Nothing in git is a commitment until you push. Nothing. If you haven't heard the phrase "commit early, commit often", consider that and take it to heart. If you have work you care about and even might want to save, then you should commit it. Git was literally made for the purpose of managing multiple versions of exploratory work -- to not use commits and branches for that purpose is to not use git to its full potential.

Stashing things you care about for some later time strikes me as the kind of use of stash that is the most prone to data loss. But again, if you're comfortable using fsck, none of this applies to you.
Yes, but are all of your switch ports isolated to prevent machines from ever talking to each other directly?

Why I'm a React Native Developer: A Response to Ariel Elkin
If one user in 1,000 has a significant issue with an outomatic update that's a major problem. MS, gets less slack because it's a monopoly situation. But, they also produce worse software because it's a monopoly.

Windows phone is a great example, after over a decade they put out something that was not terrible, and it's failing because not terrible only works in monopoly situations.
SpaceX IS the newcomer and underdog, but one that's advancing very quickly. The big monopolist in this case is ULA, the "United Launch Alliance", which was created in 2006 as a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Space Systems and Boeing Defense, Space & Security.

For years, ULA was only option for US government launch contracts. They had more than 100 launches – all of them successful except one single minor anomaly [1].

SpaceX tried and succeeded [2] to get into the lucrative government contract business, arguing that their launches are five times cheaper (90M vs 460M USD).

Before that, an interesting meeting of the U.S. Committee on Armed Services took place [3], discussing ULA's dependency on russian-made RD-180 rocket engines for their Atlas V launch system.

Let's also not forget that pure digital USB audio has been around for a long time, and works with any USB connector:

http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/devclass_docs/

The "Audio Class" was standardised in 1998. Many "USB soundcards" have appeared since then, and if the manufacturers really wanted to, they could've just used that standard instead of overcomplicating things by making yet another one.
And yet, the older demographic is not as desirable for ad agencies.

Besides, it's not only whether they are wealthier but whether they'll do watch/attend baseball games after a certain age.

That's not too far away from Lisp. But in Lisp we would be using some quasiquote templates for this simple macro:

(defmacro debug-it (&body expressions)
`(progn

`(format t "~%~a: ~a" ',expression ,expression))
expressions)))

Example:

CL-USER 8 > (pprint (macroexpand-1 '(debug-it (+ 1 2) (* 3 4))))

(PROGN
(FORMAT T "~%~a: ~a" '(+ 1 2) (+ 1 2))
(FORMAT T "~%~a: ~a" '(* 3 4) (* 3 4)))

CL-USER 9 > (debug-it (+ 1 2) (* 3 4))

Maybe they think they can get away with because their only competition (MacOS) is heading in the same direction. Both OSs peaked somewhere around 2010. Since then, MS has focussed on using their desktop OS to collect data and Apple has been focussed on using their desktop OS to prop up their mobile OS.

I asked myself this same question when my work was focussed on attack research, and the result was that I stopped working on it, finding some clever new attack is great, but no one really cares after it is patched. So I focussed on building tools as well, automated reverse engineering and static analysis tools. Tools are getting better, but even then it's not clear that any of the current tooling approaches will have significant lasting pay offs.

For all the talk of security being a rapidly changing field, it's only true in the same sense that JavaScript frameworks are rapidly changing, lots of churn but not so much progress.

All the comments here seem to focus on Theo, the Apache license vs. the BSD one, and for some reason the OpenBSD policy.

But my understanding of that email is about the irregularity of a unilateral change of license. The contributors own their work and licensed it under one license, and the project wants to change it without doing the Herculean job of getting permission from all.

I think Theo is correct there saying that there is a risk that one of those contributors will then come out of the woods and wreak havoc, risking a forced fork from the relicense point.

IANAL, but "you don't change the license" is one of the few things I was taught.

Have you used a Windows phone? I had one for a few years and was much happier with it than my subsequent Nexus phones, I just couldn't live in the app ghetto forever.
Even after 20+ years of software development I still learn a lot each time I do a code review or pair program. Of course there's other developers around me where I work so it's a "free" resource.

$20-$45/h seems very low, though. I charge $120/h for moonlighting and I don't think I'm that expensive so you may not get top level talent for <$50
Sure, but I see the idea as a kind of boycott/protest. I disagree with patents, mainly software patents, consequently I will never use a license that consider patents.
Apparently from somewhere where they do not need "Nim" and existing tooling is just fine.

Using both reasonably frequently, I really don't see how you think they're moving in the same direction. MacOS still leaves the user in full control if they wish, while Windows forces ridiculous hoops to disable things that should be a stock setting using regedit which most users would and should never touch. Outside of "they both have voice assistants now" I see no similarities. And I'm certain you will never see ads in MacOS as part of the OS "features."
Sorry you had a less than desirable experience. However, rather than writing this HN post, did you quickly make the changes on your site so it displays the most relevant information you wished would have been displayed on PH? Did you test those changes? Did you harness that PH data that allows you to continue refining what the exact problem it is you are solving for your users? There are two key learnings here:

1. Use this experience as a learning opportunity. If you are pissed because you didn't reach number 1, I think you are thinking about all the wrongs things PH is meant to represent. If anything, PH purposefully kicks your startup into hyperdrive once you are hunted - regardless to you being ready or not. This is a good thing. It means you no longer can afford to drag your feet.

2. Iterate, test, iterate, test. You shouldn't be focused on pushing out the perfect product right out of the gate. I suggest you read a bit about startups here: https://gigster.com/resources/pg-essays?ref=producthunt
If this is the result of sabotage, it puts SpaceX's previous launch failure in a different context: any entity willing and able to take a shot at and destroy a rocket from within the confines of Cape Canaveral might also have been able compromise a strut provided by an outside entity.

I find SpaceX's predicament to be deeply troubling, maybe because if this is sabotage, it casts a pall on the humanity's ability to make progress.
