> There is this weird myth that Email magically kills productivity while Slack and GitHub don't.

Yes. I really can't abide chat for work. If I have time and need synchronous communication, I make a phone call.

Email forces me to think my communication through, and I can explicitly CC/BCC other people if I feel that they need to read my letter.

PS: I find it telling that the product is actually called "Slack". ;)
"...latest startup trends"

I dont imagine startups start their ideas based on trends, unless you mean technology trends. But in any case. This information would be very hard to come by as most people/companies dont announce what they plan to build until they have an MVP.

The only thing I can suggest is to follow a bunch of hackathons, hopefully ones that are not limited to sponsorship tech or industry. And try workout the trends from there.

side note: this could be a nice little machine learning project :)
Googling "squarespace -squarespace" I get the ad for squarespace without competing ads or organics.
I'm in early 30s, live in Ohio making around $105k before taxes working as a backend developer for a medium size company. $90k to $110k is a pretty standard salary for a backend (or full stack) developer with 10 years of experience throughout the state from my interview experience. Adjusting for cost of living in Seattle versus my location, your salary is pretty comparable to mine. Done just about everything software wise from the frontend to the backend in a number of different languages (C#, Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, PHP).

If you're witnessing ageism already, you're probably dodging a bullet working at those toxic places for reasons that go beyond just ageism. Seattle would be my choice to live in though if I were on the West Coast.

I do projects on the side as a hobby (mobile apps and such). Keeps up my skills and pays for my lunch money. Used to do a lot of contract work for startups in the area and small businesses. Wanted more stability, so I gave it up for a regular salary. I sometimes miss the freedom I had with my previous work, but doing my side projects keeps me happy when I get bogged down with too much "process" at my day job.
I don't think it's strange, really. Music is generally publicised by large labels on purpose and at great expense. It would be incredibly rare for an unsigned (not to mention a CC no one is getting paid for) track to get on the A playlist of a national radio station without someone actively pushing it with all the usual PR that comes with a record release.
Meeting up for half an hour takes weeks of planning for my group of old school friends.
An example would be dynamic soundtracks in games, which can change during gameplay. (New Doom, FTL, etc.)
Ask HN: Which books should I to read to become a storage engine designer?
I want to focus on database storage layer such as different data structures, concurrency techniques, file layouts, ... I really need some concurrent examples on these topics. Since many books says use B-tree for indexing. How to store it? How to increase concurrency? How to merge memory buffer with on-disk files while DBMS is working? How to do crash recovery?
Perhaps I don't understand the Gerrit workflow, but last time I read about Gerrit it looked like it had a philosophy of "one commit, one review".

That sounds like an anethema for the kernel, where they want to review a series of tidied up commits, one per email.
Ok, shouldn't have mixed them. What I meant is that you can replace the VMs with netflix, instagram filters, or some other consumer services. There's lots of standard luxury goods-like services available. And you're right - you may go with the cheaper competitor when you don't have that kind of money to spend on something not necessary.

The parent said: "Price sensitivity to consumer SaaS always catches me by surprise." - which is what we both seem to agree on - even consumer prices add up and people will go for cheaper alternatives.
It is also in many other countries[1] and it is disgusting.

Good for you, problem with that for me is I'm not a programer, I'm an artist and this is why Blender isn't used in studios.
Kolmogorov Complexity is also presented in Chapter 7 of the classic textbook "Elements of Information Theory":

But if their traditional method is SVN, then there is a bigger reason to have some git element available. Linux already uses git, and has less incentive to add in a "git, the hard way" option.

Welcome to HN, where everybody is an armchair expert and good at only criticizing.

It's obvious you put a lot of work into this, and you know what, it may not be the world's best information on building muscle, but what I do know is that you researched this way more than I have, and actually inspired me to start a workout routine. So there's that.

thanks for putting this together.
So? My point is, the TLDR is just plain wrong.
I really can't see how working 14 hours a day and over the weekend can make anyone happy.

When two strings have the same Kolmogorov Complexity, one of them might take significantly longer to "decompress". Shouldn't we then say that this string has higher information content?

It feels to me like Kolmogorov Complexity (while very elegant) might just be a crude approximation to a measure that also takes into account the time it takes to print the string.
I can only offer vague prejudices here, but...

My guess is that outside the USA your legal protections are likely similar or a bit weaker, but the cops are less likely to be antagonistic. (And even in the USA, it will depend on locality and all kinds of circumstances).

Various incentives exist for police and prosecutors to aggressively put people behind bars. I think these are stronger in the populist US, than in other rich democracies where beaurocratic respectability is more valued.
An extremely detailed treatment is presented in "An introduction to Kolmogorov complexity and its applications":

I don't think so. Usually you'll go after the owner, then the owner must prove that wasn't his deed.

I am not sure what happens with universities and large organizations.
Don't know about other professions but Spain (and Portugal) are ridiculously low paying employers of programmers and technical people in general.
I don't get the use case.

If I have a file to upload with 10000 emails say, then either they have opted in via an auto-responder and therefore those emails are already validated, or I have purchased a list off someone, which is potentially a bit shady but I should just get them validated again with a double opt in.

Where does this service fit into that?
Ask HN: The developers oncall syndrom spreads like fire in high tech companies?
Hi, this is a kind of a poll question. how many of you are on oncall list 24/7 on certain days of week / holidays? I don't recall asking my banker, doctor, lawyer to be oncall although i consider them also responsible for their work. don't get me wrong, i think this can be important but if you are on such a list for the weenend then i think you deserve a day off during the next week. is this something which happened and we didn't notice it cramping up with the advent of micro services? we were just added with 24/7 task and we do not get any day off after being in such a list. asking us to be available 24/7 because its our responsibility for our services (as if other workers don't have responsibility for their work), and then not getting any rest day even if we were not contacted, for me it's enough to know i'm right now oncall to get stressed to be listening on my communication channels to feel i'm working. what do you think?

They are not the same in any kind of way. If you think that people getting murdered because of the color of their skin by agents acting under color of authority is equivalent to saying that cyclists shouldn't be shamed for acting unsafely and possibly causing accidents, injuries, or death because bikes are not cars, all I can think is that I feel as sorry for you as I do for the #alllivesmatter people.

In this instance, stop whining is not advice, it's in response to people thinking that for their own narcissistic reasons, it's okay to jeapordize the safety of others. That includes the cars that park in bike lanes as well as the bicyclists who blow through stop signs.
That's quite a lot of police cars on that map.
Gerrit does have "one commit, one review", but - that's not a bad thing. If a change is well written and structured, merging the first in the chain without the second+ is both harmless and is progress towards the end goal.

There's also patch chains in Gerrit, so you can see the X commits that make up the full change, and the second+ cannot be merged before the first.

It isn't optimal, but it used to work. I kept C++ projects on Dropbox in addition to Git because I work on multiple computers and want to be able to continue where I left off if I get interrupted. I don't like the idea of having to commit and push to git for all work in progress, even if it is on a separate branch.

The default setup in Qt Creator is to have a build folder next to the sources, but after the first big sync failure I configured Qt Creator to always build outside of Dropbox. But I experienced failed syncs after that, even with only C++ sources inside Dropbox and when building Doconce+LaTeX projects.
I bet it can be used for at least two good purposes. First, to scan for vulnerable devices. And second, to shame vendors of insecure devices.
It’s not as if existing tools disappear once they stop being maintained. Use whatever you like that lets you get the job done. (New CoffeeScript is dying out, for example, but it’s easy to learn if you need to maintain an existing project in it.)
Right, you could do that and probably do it well.

I was mostly thinking about the simple matter of scaling the resources and maintenance crew to tackle 4000 devs. But my biggest concern about it is that it introduces centralization into the workflow. I do truly love Gerrit, but I get a bit worried about keeping a lot of important stuff in a centralized and not so transparent database.

OK but there is also neuroactivation - at any time your nervous system can "drive" about 30% of the fibres in a muscle. If you could achieve 100% neuroactivation you would be 3x stronger instantaneously - at the risk of as you say destroying connective tissue. But it is not "with ease", it is at great cost, so the body will only unlock this feature as a last resort.

I've worked with companies before that only gave credit for a fraction of revenue/orders driven by brand terms. They did a study on what % of brand SEM terms were cannibalizing against the organic listing and only gave credit for what they believed to be accretive.

You don't know what you're talking about at all. Read what type 1 and type 2 diabetes are before you talk about them.
Seems you have a case of a selective memory because the case in question had some more arguments than round corners. It's intellectual dishonest to reduce it to only that.

Samsung was being caught having a 155 manual (http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/8/3227289/samsung-apple-ux-ui...) of how to copy the iOS UI. That alone is so clear that it's not even funny.

That's a fact the iHaters always seem to left out, but the round corners on the other hand...

I find it very hard to believe they won that case on the pure fact another device had round corners.
Licensing something as free and then going around and making backroom deals with platform holders so it cannot freely be used is misleading and unethical. If I use CC-BY music in a game I make, I don't want to discover after the fact that you will insert ads in my YouTube trailer.
They are both lacking, because neither actually contains the guts of the argument. Presumably this sentence is in an introduction and the real argument will come later.

In that sense the the second is better because it actually serves as a teaser for the coming rational argument. The first is just claims.

Though the first has the great advantage of being shorter.
Cc is the open source of creation. I'm fascinated by the power of open source. capitalism pushed to its extream is harmful to humanity. Just look at junk food to convince yourself if you aren't yet. By its incremental enhancement, it leads to exponential growth. It is slow in the start because incremental steps are small, but it leads to a tsunami.

I believe we are on the verge to see a fundamental change in the way the worlds economy is working. This may still take 100 years, but capitalism is doomed because it leads to unstable economical states and it's harmful for humanity (e.g speculation on food).

Lets keep pushing on the snowball and extend that model to other domains. I think that scientists pioneered that model, hence the exponential scientific progress.
The impression I got is that men like the thin type more than the fit type.

There has been research to indicate that both genders regardless or orientation, check out the hindquarters of prospective partners.

People want one tool to do all their work. Which is why Python took off in the ML and scientific computing space. The same language you use for data analytics is the same one you use for ETL, building a web backend, interfacing with the system, etc.
This is a type of dementia, which is in fact an age-related disease. That is not to say that getting old is the main cause, but aging is simply related.

I am convinced that the only truly effective way to tackle most age-related disease (which includes most diseases that kill people) is by comprehensively acting against fundamental aging mechanisms.

> I'll post some of the strong arm tactics that they (the alleged less sleazy arduino) employ against their partner reseller

When Arduino split Arduino SRL, with the factory in Italy, were the ones with the Arduino trademark in most markets outside the US. Arudino LLC therefor could, presumably, only sell and manufacture device in the US. It seems reasonable that the companies licensed to manufacture Arduino in the US, and can't manufacture anywhere else nor sell to the rest of the world, shouldn't have to compete with Genuinos that are manufactured in China.

In regards to Wiring the project was open source, a master thesis and lives on to this day. It's just that Arduino is more successful.

You can surely doubt the professionalism of many people involved in Arduino, but more than that what happened here is that Arduino forked Wiring and Pimoroni found it cumbersome to sell Arduinos. People always say they want open source or more community driven companies, but when things get complicated not only are people quick to turn on them (which is many times understandable) but they make the situation worse trying to pile on all the things they feel are bad to justify their feelings.
I did some VB6 coding back in the day. I simply loved it how you could write identifier without any regard to case (lowercase), and IDE would bump it to correct capitalization automatically. And when you decide to change capitalization in variable declaration, it would then re-capitalize it in your sources, sort of "rename variable" refactoring lite.

And yes, it's pretty insane that languages will treat 2 differently-cased variables as separate, or indeed even allow them. If compiler is allowed to play dumb, at least modern IDEs will flag such code, and modern lints will not allow it.
Of course he would have had trouble, enough that he felt like he had to go. But this was a personal issue between him and his colleagues. Comparing it into company-wide discrimination is not helpful. You're comparing a matter of policy (company-wide discrimination) with a matter of personal politics (can't work with this guy because we don't agree with him, plus he's using my added value as a way to attack my way of life).

The end results are the same but the mechanism isn't. Could his colleagues have been more accommodating of his views ? Maybe. But they didn't. That's a personal problem that comes from a large cultural clash.
As a regular visitor to the US I follow the posted limits precisely.

I'm not sure, but it can be done with just CloudFlare changes; if the plugin is open source it should be fine. Maybe if Tor Browser integrates the plugin it should be fine too.
You can no longer embed their widgets on platforms that allow iframes but not script tags, like most learning management systems.
As someone who isn't at all familiar with music distribution, is YouTube really the best way for indie artists to distribute, and monetise, their music? The audio quality seems a lot lower compared to Spotify, and I don't really want to waste bandwidth on a video just to listen to music while I'm working. On the other hand I've noticed some mainstream music is blocked for me on Spotify, but available on YouTube.

Well, Actually
The same, by not saying anything to police who question you on the street it can be 'obstruction' if you don't ask for a lawyer first before being silent, unless you are arrested and your right to be silent is given to you. Also in Canada police don't have to stop talking to you if you've requested a lawyer they can still keep you in interrogation trying to get you to talk for as long as they want, which usually means all weekend until you see a judge on Monday morning. http://www.edelsonlaw.ca/news/show/40/8/0000/0

Any informants they place in your cell with you, regardless of you asking for a lawyer may continue to interrogate you as well. Your prison phone calls can also be recorded and used against you, again regardless if you've asked and not seen a lawyer so if you phone your job and make up an excuse why you won't be there on Monday morning, that excuse can be used against you in court. A well known trick is for the police to place you with an informant who offers you a cellphone, because typically you have to call 3-4 people when arrested (family/gf, job, a lawyer) instead of just the one phone call they have to give you (which they don't have to provide until days after you are arrested). This contraband phone will be recorded hoping you say something incriminating, or just hoping you lie so they can prove later you are a "known liar" since most people don't want to tell their employer they've just been arrested and will lie about it.

I found adjusting lighting around the screens helpful. I can't comment on any heath-related pros or cons as this is not scientific.

Specifically, adjusting ambient lighting near my desk that is brighter/darker than the displays.

I work at night a lot and try to keep a couple lamps on - not work in a dark room. Likewise, I work near a window during the day but added a pull-down perforated window screen to allow sun in but dull (~25%) of the bright sunlight.

My eyes looked off screen more than I realized and adjusting ambient lighting feels like it reduced eye strain and reduced time to return to focus.
