As a kid, me and my friends would climb any roof we could. Of course adults would chase us down if they saw us, but we would just do it again when they were gone. This was rural Sweden in the 80s.

The older I get, the more convinced I become that parenthood effectively cauterizes a large part of your rational mind, supplanting it with emotional, fear-driven responses.

Anyone with a basic understanding of the internet knows that the UK's censorship proposals won't work, and the only thing that really could work is complete government control over all internet content. Disturbingly, even that isn't too high of a price for the people that get the warm and fuzzies from knowing that their special little guy is protected from mean, nasty reality.

I live in Brooklyn and there's kids roaming around after school all over. Unless they're toddlers they know how to not get hit by a car.
I am convinced there are benefits to letting your children roam and learn about the world on their own (within reasonable limits, of course). I grew up in Chicago in the 90s and once I was old enough to understand the seriousness of being careful around traffic and crossing the street safely I was allowed to walk to the home of friends who lived a few blocks away on my own. I learned how to navigate the city: oh my usual route is blocked by construction, I have to find a different way.

By the time I was 12 I was taking the El home from school, a consequence of my decision to participate in after-school Jazz band. But that's the thing, it was my choice. If I wanted to be in the band, then I'd have to take the train as my parents couldn't pick me up at that time.

By the time I got to college, it was painfully clear which of my fellow students in the dorms had never had to do anything for themselves before. They were very nearly incapable of caring for themselves, be it their living spaces or navigating life in a new city.
Microsoft solves this with RMS for Individuals: https://portal.aadrm.com/ (also called the RMS Sharing App, now getting rebranded to Azure Information Protection).

The recipient's identity is the key to opening the content - no need to communicate anything out-of-band. Depending on the file format chosen, you get DRM features limiting granular actions on the file beyond view/edit.

To open the protected files, your recipients will have to download/install the (free) app from Microsoft. This is generally pretty painless.

Definitely worth checking out, especially good for consultants' workflows.

That's subjectively defined so I'm not sure how you can be authoritative judge here.

If there's ever a book that I found better on an e-reader, Infinite Jest is it. The movement between the endnotes was so much more fluid and not having the bulk of the book itself was a huge plus. Still have a physical copy for the at home reading (been a bit since I read and want to go for a third go around) but the e-reader experience felt like the experience the book was made for, but preempted.

We have different tools for different kinds of failures.

Chaos Monkey helps ensure that you are resilient to single instance failure. Kong helps ensure that we are resilient to region failure.

Most of the developer-induced pain (which is most frequent source of pain) happens at the service level -- a bad code push that somehow made it through canary, accidentally doing something you shouldn't, misconfiguring something, etc. For tolerating service-level failures, we use different tools that minimize the fallout of the failure injection. Specifically, FIT (and the soon to be revealed ChAP.) These tools allow us to be more surgical in our injection of failure and tie that into our telemetry solutions.

We only inject failures we expect to be resilient to. Sadly, that is a subset of the failures that people cause ;)
There are alternatives. Palantir taking multiple buildings in Palo Alto is one. They're getting a lot of heat from the locals for it. City building isn't a great option either. Is the answer mass-telecommuting?
I have a theory: the people who love open offices are the same people who love living and working in a city. It feels like the same sort of debate, just on a different scale.
Aaron Swartz's explanation of Infinite Jest's ending comes highly recommended-not to mention their convergent trajectories. Their deaths greatly impoverished the public intellect.
For me at least, I know that if I didn't have my nose in my phone, I would have my nose in a book instead. Either way, I manage boredom through reading.
I'd say if you want to build web-backend type services in Rust right now, you'd do alright. Hyper, mio, diesel, etc. are all pretty good. I do think (and hope) that things will be much more compelling in a year once tokio and its library ecosystem have matured. Tokio's abstractions seem very compelling.
Normalization is not the same as full normalization.

Full normalization does not decompose into relations with same key, because that means splitting one type of entities in two, that makes no logical sense. Rather, it splits non-5NF relations that represent facts of multiple types into 5NF relations that represent facts of a single type and they have different keys.
Our "pumped hydro" is an old quarry that they let fill with water from a nearby river, and then pump the water back out. The pumps exist because the quarry is used for water retention, but they are also used to just waste energy. I don't know the specifics, but I know they do that when electricity prices go negative.

I didn't know turbine bypass was a thing though. Why does the utility purchase load if they can bypass the turbines? Do transformers need a certain amount of load on them?

The pumped hydro facility in Ludington, MI is kind of close by, but I suspect it might be a little too far away to provide peaking power for Chicago.
I should also add.... severe shortage of single women. Women like cities even more than men.
Inspired by chaos monkey, I introduced malloc chaos mechanism into our codebase: https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/4463/

Although designed originally to catch places where malloc failure wasn't being handled, it can also be used to randomly trigger other off-nominal portions of the code that might not otherwise be tested.
I'm so glad that I am not alone in this. Over the last few years I have seen people tuning down the font-weight and putting #BBB text on an #FFF background, and I felt like I was the only one who noticed or cared. It's nice to know that I'm not crazy.
And I thought I was the only one it bothered to no end.

You can think of a pure-data object, such as a message, as a special kind of actor whose protocol includes messages to extract the parts. It gets tricky when it comes to comparisons: you want e.g. a boolean to be able to say "yes, I'm equal to this boolean b you sent me" but you also want to be able to send a transparent forwarder b' that wraps a "real" boolean b. I'm not sure how the different actor languages dealt with these issues.
Curious, do you have kids & if so, are you doing the hands off thing?

I live in Seattle (within city limits) and would love to chat with someone about how the hands-off/free-range thing is working in practice within this city.
Hacker News is guilty of exactly this on downvoted posts.
It's the flipside of the worst aspects of the "SJW"/gender politics & identity subculture. People who accept labels in exchange for reassurance. Basically: "You're okay as you are. It's everyone else who's wrong. Fight them instead of yourself."

Just as you can go from dealing with valid issues around identity to smearing people for the pronouns they use, you can go from saying "traditional concepts of marriage and relationships oppress both men and women" to "I am perfect as I am regardless of what other people think, and a system that questions that is inherently wrong" shockingly quickly, especially online.
The second link that you posting is complete nonsense, it gives an estimate from 1.2 million to 20 million... that's ridiculous estimate, like poking into sky. And then they use the higher end of scale to compare it to other dictators. Stalin was in power for around 25 years, saying that he killed 20 million people during that time, it means he was killing about a million every year, or 3000 people every day, how is it even possible for a single person to order killing of so many people on daily basis?
Speaking of kids and playing, here's something I'd love to see: my kids are stuck on this 'Animal Jam' computer game, and while I try and be a good parent and set limits and stuff, I've also thought a technical solution might be fun: "The Great Firewall of Games". It would act like the Chinese thing: rather than simply deny access, it progressively degrades the experience so that the user puts the blame on the game itself, rather than whoever is denying the access.

Dude, the 80's called. They want their cliches back.

First of all, things have changed, and changed radically. If you want your car broken into and rifled through, you;re more likely to get that joy in a small rural town, thanks to the opiates epidemic.

Secondly, the cities have become remarkably safer, though no less diverse.
Your argument reminds me of the joke about the man searching for his keys under the streetlamp.

"A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together. After a few minutes the policeman asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, no, and that he lost them in the park. The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, 'this is where the light is.'" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_effect]

I agree that this is a well-designed study given its constraints. And it's admirable that it's a replication study.

That doesn't change the fact that it's largely irrelevant to professionals. It doesn't test the claims made by TDD proponents (TDD leads to better design, reduces long-term maintenance, allows for team coordination, etc.), nor does it address any of the interesting questions about TDD:

* Is TDD more effective in a professional setting than commonly-used alternatives?

* Is a mock-heavy approach to TDD more effective than a mock-light approach?

* Do people using TDD refactor their code more or less than people using a different but equally rigorous approach?

* Is the code done with TDD more maintainable than code done rigorously in another way?

* Is TDD easier or harder to sustain than equivalently-effective alternatives?

As a study, it's fine, if only of interest to academics. The problem isn't the study. It's the credulous response on the part of industry developers who then turn the false authority of the study into statements like "TDD doesn't lead to higher quality or productivity."
Hey Guys,

It's been 2 years since I first submitted a side project I was working on to Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8644172), and so much has changed since then (including our tagline). We've done a major overhaul on so many systems that I wanted to let you guys know what we've been up to, how we've changed, and get feedback to let us know we are still on the right path.

The idea with TrueJob was that we want to help job seekers find employers and vice versa, while giving analytics to both sides to help them improve as well. We allow job seekers to like or dislike almost anything about a job posting (location, company, random words or phrases in the job description), and then employers can see that data on the other side:

https://gfycat.com/HarmfulSizzlingKitty
https://gfycat.com/UntidyMagnificentKodiakbear

We want to improve job search -- we know how hard it is to hire as a startup, and we know how hard job seekers have it trying to search for jobs. We want to give data that helps both sides improve, and we think we've done it in quite a cool way.

So, what's happened since our last posting?

* I quit my job and focused solely on TrueJob

* TrueJob was setup as an official business, incorporating in Deleware, setting up business accounts and getting a good "base" for the business

* I started building a lot more features into the product, and also working on a lot of the bugs, errors, and performance issues that people had mentioned in the comments

* I built out the entire other side of the platform (employer side), and added in a bunch of support to setup organizations

* TrueJob became a team of two in October 2015 when my coufounder, Michael Kling, joined onboard, and has really helped flesh out a ton of code and build up the product even more

* We built out a custom scraping solution that scrapes company websites to find job postings, and keeps track of how many jobs a company has, what system they use to post those jobs, and how those jobs change over time -- Here's a snippet from AirBNB for example: http://i.imgur.com/FjPL8UB.png

* We've interviewed startups on how they hire, like FarmLogs and TentCraft, Arbor Networks and more (https://blog.truejob.com/)

* We've become the second biggest listing of startup jobs in the United States, outside of AngelList (mostly from our scraping processes)

* We've created a custom tool to embed a company's job postings into any page (which we've used with Michigan tech communities like the TechBrewery, TC New Tech, and other Michigan businesses)

* We've added in a lot more ways to filter for jobs and get information about companies, like our new tooltips or filtering

* We've built out job recommendations based on things you like/dislike/etc

* We interviewed with Sid of Gitlab here: https://about.gitlab.com/2016/10/03/yc-application-office-ho..., where we talked about our YC app and more
Literary-journal article titles have been clickbait of this nature since before the Web existed. Buzzfeed has nothing to teach the NYRB.
My sister gave me IJ for christmas a few years ago, and I basically started reading it out of guilt. I will read 100 pages, I said to myself, and if I don't like it by then, I will drop it. I really expected to hate the book and drop it, but after 100 pages, I was completely hooked.
> I seriously want to punch a hipster every time I have to use an app that used to work and has now been designed to death.

Me too. In fact, it concerns me how angry stupid decisions make me these days. I just want to sit folks down in a chair and ask them why they hell they broke something that needed no fixing. It wasn't a problem, and now it is. I want to quote the 90s classic Billy Madison at them:

> Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I read websites on a daily basis where image loading is broken without JavaScript, and where focusing the page takes over a second while it loads images — when HTML has supported images for over two decades. I read websites where even with every blocker I know of used at once can't keep them readable. I use software clearly designed to only be usable by a teenager with perfect vision and thirteen thumbs. Why do people do this?
Very well said, 10/10.
What's hilarious/sad to me is that Kiln started out (as the prototype that won Django Dash) doing only pull requests. That was literally all it did. Pushing directly to a repo would instead, behind-the-scenes, make a branch repo and put your commits there. When you accepted the review, it'd automatically get merged. Kiln would even warn you if you could safely do the merge without conflicts. This was all back in 2008, and I believe predated GitHub launching entirely, but certainly predated PRs being common.

Hilariously, we concluded internally that doing things that way was too complicated/weird for people to use, while GitHub concluded the exact opposite, and the rest is what you see.
I've only used Rust lightly, but can someone explain what Cargo does differently from pip-tools?

As far as I can tell, you have two files in both systems: One with the dependencies you'd ideally like to use, and one with the ones you actually used (and tested with). That way, you can update when convenient, but people who get your software have an exact known good environment.

What makes Cargo that much better than pip-tools?
The most basic message is not even that the isolation is bad, it is just that any perceptions of these new campuses being innovative are greatly exaggerated. It's startups turning into the IBMs of the next generation in action, go have fun celebrating that.
Sounds messy ;)

Is someone able to quickly summarize the missing prelude to this?
I can see how that happens. The thing that impressed me most about Infinite Jest is the incredibly deep introspection that the characters had. But the passages were very long, and because they weren't about actual stuff happening, its tough to just stop reading all of a sudden. You cant just jump back in where you left off. It wouldn't make any sense unless you were following the entire train of thought, which means you need to backtrack quite a bit.

I honestly have no idea how people read that book in public. I read it during the winter in my bedroom, which was perfect because there was nothing to pull my attention away and interrupt the experience.
The "real" problem here is that THEY think we can do what they did.

Want to get a job? Have to get a college degree, hence a lot more people in college.

Even with home ownership I don't think the issue is as simple as urbanization. I'd say it's more related to something like wage stagnation versus property value increases. Although I'm lucky enough to afford my own place, many of my friends can't because they can't afford to save enough because of rent prices... and it would take them 10 years to save even a down payment. That's just an example though.

In U.S., Canada, and Europe (in general) it seems like the best cities and even marginally great cities are filling up with foreign investors looking for an asset to hide their money in so their corrupt governments don't take it from them. Vancouver is the colloquial example here I think. Personally, I'd propose some sort of live-in requirement for all foreign-owned home real estate. If you're not living there or renting it out (which means rent would have to be affordable) then you should lose the property. I don't have an issue with anybody moving to the U.S. or anything, but actually come live here and don't just buy property to drive up housing costs for the people that actually live and work here. (FWIW this isn't something I deal with as I own my own place etc. etc. )
Just like these men owe nothing to women I guess.
My view is quite the opposite. I've been using technology since the 1970s, worked with it since the 1990s, and my main set of gripes are things which intentionally suck. As in pretty much every last systems aspect of my Samsung, Logitech, and Google-mediated tablet experience.

There are parts of this that I like. The battery life, display, and WiFi connectivity are pretty awesome.

The OS, shell tools (there is a shell, it's just ... completely fucking crippled), advertising-orientation, lack of any user-centric controls, lack of user-centric data management, alteratives to store your data on the cloud^W^Wsomebody else's server, a ham-fisted locked-down experience from Samsung, crap hardware design and crap warranty service from Logitech.

I know all of that can be far better than it is, and that each of these companies are paying people whose jobs it is to specifically make the experience suck.

That is what this grumpy old techie's view is.
Not saying this is always the case but I wonder if, in some of the cases, this is what makes it hard for designers to get accepted in open source:

the fact that many of the developers are also users and as such are pretty opinionated while the designers that come to open source might often be very eager to "set their mark" on something?
