I read it as he doesn't like the accent, and doesn't like that it's associated with him. It's a joke, a pun on the two meanings of "mid-Atlantic"
Thank you for clarifying.

wrt your final decision: obviously, those aren't very compelling reasons. It would be simpler for you to say "We don't care about previous solutions. We're following the standardization track so that people can understand our design and provide comments/suggestions, but we're not going to justify our decision."

For example, the "easily readable" constraint is simply ridiculous because the most common format for data on the web is HTML which survives partly because it can be rendered in a format that is easy to read.
That seems to work short- and medium-term, but any time people face a financially significant event (marriage, children, parents' disability, spouse's disability, personal disability) they wish they had a larger savings cushion to rely on.

Most people's earnings peak between 25 and 45, one can always cut down their consumption and pick up subsistence farming at 50 with a fat corporate 401(k) and a paid-off house.
Ask HN: Professional Android development
I'm a hobbyist Android developer and I'm capable of building mildly complex Android applications. Recently I made an app as a freelancer for a client and they want me to work with them remotely (me being the only developer). Now since this is a part-time job I want to be serious about it, and maybe turn it (freelancing) into a primary source of income after I graduate from college.

Although I'm quite comfortable with Android development (including working with 3rd party libraries, client-server model, etc) I want to know how to turn Android development as a hobby into a professional skill.

How did you go about doing it, what challenges did you face and what should I be careful about?

Thanks.
It makes a bit more sense when you realize that the Empire saw themselves as the continuation of the Republic (the Senate wasn't abolished until partway through A New Hope, for example), and Obi-Wan was very much a part of the Republic's leadership, being a sitting member of the Jedi Council and all.

So it's not so much a "villain accent" as it is a "Republic leadership accent", where the Empire is just a corrupted Republic.
>I personally don't have serious qualms with a Jeffersonian paternalistic republic, so long as I have the power to vote the "parents" out of power when they fail to represent my interests.

Well that's the real trick, isn't it? The DNC had already picked their nominee a year or so in advance, which makes one's vote a "take it or leave it" proposition.

In fairness, the RNC had probably secretly anointed Jeb, but their ability to dictate events was weakened by their nomination design. Look for them to borrow the superdelegate concept from the DNC.
While it is "just how things work" (both meanings intended), it goes against a core ideal for the United States. I'm not sure if "class mobility" is quite the term I'm looking for, but basically the idea that the common everyman could be elected and have a say in running the country. While the founding fathers were understandably wary of direct democracy, the average citizen still has somewhat of a say with their vote. Seeing that these important decisions are made by elites, behind the scenes, before the election even happened (!) is a major blow towards that ideal.

I won't pretend to have a better solution, however, so I mostly agree with your post.

> I’m not a fan of Wordpress, as it is neither cloud-ready nor serverless.

Well that's a funny opener.

TL;DR: rather than configure your uploads to go to S3, one of AWS's most battle hardened and time tested offerings, use a service that was launched 10 months ago and can definitely scale perfectly and will never have any issues. Then you can even keep on managing your htaccess files using a WordPress plugin and skip that pesky version control!
Exactly I am in same situation. I work remotely, most of my work is to private repo on github.

I have set it up so that my private contributions are shown in my profile progress chart, no access to private data but activity looks good sign.

Good luck :-)
Here is a question for the armchair (or real) lawyers - How does disclosing this not run afoul of the law?
Problem is that when it dies, you won't be able to get a laptop with such a good keyboard....
Not really defending word press, just pointing out that it has its use cases and the solutions you responded with don't cover them. Have you used Wordpress? It's interface is far from garbage and it's plugin ecosystem is plentiful.

You seem pretty upset about someone choosing wordpress but you haven't done a very good job of articulating why it's bad and what other competitors are out there that are better (no, saying "any other crud editor" does not qualify and only seems to prove how much you don't understand about the use cases of word press)

Edit: for what it's worth, I don't have "clients" and my bank account isn't at all tied to using word press. No idea where you got that from.
Most of your HN comments are one or two sentences?
You've been able to run this in VMs for years now, with the caveat that it be on Apple hardware.
I went from a T60P to a W520 (used) a year and a half ago, because the lack of ram was a strain. W520 is the last Thinkpad with the "retro" keyboard, and officially supports 16gb of memory but unofficially supports 32gb. Though it's quite heavy and not the most energy efficient, I have been quite happy with it for my needs.
Brain Teaser, try to fly to FYN (CN) and back.

But regarding your question. I once flew NYC<>Asunción. I don't remember the stops anymore but it was at least three, including El Salvador and Lima.
There are plenty of outside helpers, but the heavyweights doing the overwhelming majority of the work are either Jay, Jun, or Neha and/or work for one of those 3... All at Confluent. I've met both Jay and Jun in person, and watched Neha present @ MesosCon last year. If they're doing something with tech, it is going to be good.
Do you mind elaborating a bit?

Is this used in a business or family setting?

I could see this being useful for my family and their collection of iDevices.
I'll likely go for Ubuntu just because it's the most accessible choice right now, and the distro I'm most used to. In my case, is there a reason why I should go to other distros? I'm mostly used to distros like Arch, CoreOS, etc. being used for production servers and other specialized hardware over personal computing.
Rammstein makes sense. I suppose my preference for the loud stuff at night comes down to stimulation and energy levels. Never actually thought of it in that way until now, thanks.

Not surprising given that those doctors' job is on the line here.
You probably considered this already but, could you move to a technical management position?

I understand that working remotely while having to manage people can't be easy either way, but could being in the tech side make it easier or not really?

Google is still releasing security patches for Nexus 5

You're mistaking the major version releases (6.x.x vs 7
x.x) with security patches, they are not promising major updates here only security patches for 6.x.x.
In theory (I have actually never checked it up), Windows 10 is free for OEMs to install. The rationale behind it is suposed to be that the real market of Win10 is the Windows Store (and the ads in various parts of the OS too).

Honest to Odd, could have a normal, shed-hacker fullfill these requirements? Even if he had the money? Is there a way to shrink the requirement- like building cars that can drive not faster then 20 mph in full automated mode?
Actually the new MBPs seem to meet all your requirements...

- Redundant power supplies: Connect multiple USB-C power adapters. Bonus built in UPS battery backup!

- Redundant network interfaces: Connect multiple USB-C Ethernet adapters and/or PCI-E NIC in an external enclosure.

- Separate management port: Not as comprehensive as a DRAC or iLOM but it can be setup to provide some of the same features.

- Security: Various options available for locking down a MacBook or alternatively just use a rack with lockable doors.
It fills me with a certain amount of dread that a company I've never heard of has the time, money, focus, and decision-making process to bring racks of Mac Pros to fruition. In other words, how can one succeed, when others--presumably smart people--are busting their asses and tons of resources on a concept for which I can muster, at the very most charitable angle, moderate disapproval?

Yes, you can do this. But, what about a staging environment? How do you keep data and code in sync between environments? My company runs a lot of wordpress instances, and we've wound up shipping most of them to Pantheon. (pantheon.io) Not only does it take care of environment issues, but it gives you redis and implements caching as a service. As the post says, wordpress fights AWS a bit. We leave it to the people who are experts at winning that fight.

(I know this reads like an ad. I'm not affiliated with pantheon except as a user. Pantheon comes close to making wordpress not suck.)

I started down a similar path in the past 6 weeks. After a bunch of research I decided to learn Python and apply it to IoT and data science. During my research I used indeed.com/jobtrends to help lead me in a direction that has plenty of opportunity across several industries.

If you are skilled you can find it. A couple thoughts:

1 - Go where it's the norm.

2 - If you can't follow #1 then be attached to your desk and phone. People won't give you the benefit of the doubt if you take 30 mins to return a call or email.

3 - Do what you know. It is tougher to learn on the job remotely.

4 - Deliver tremendous value and make sure people know it. People need to know why you're invaluable.
Yeah, that's right—I should have clarified that I was talking about pre-970 chips. But we're talking about older Apple laptops here.
Too bad chrome's page actions are now to the right of the url/search box instead of dynamically appearing on the box. I'd like to install this, but I don't want to have the button always be there.
Availability of cheap credit combined with dealer incentives (an offer like 0% for 72 months is not that rare nowadays) moves the conversation from "can you afford a $40,000 car?" to "can you afford a $556 monthly payment?"

To top it off, when you're financing, used car loans are rarely as attractive as manufacturer/dealer incentives - BankRate says they average about 3% annually nowadays, so an 18% mark-up to the value of the used vehicle over the 6-year ownership period.
Website is coming along nicely :)
Yes, CL is more productive for frequent tasks that you remember the interface for. But, the OP's point was that you set the server and forget it. If you don't manage servers for a living then tweaking postfix config files is far slower than flipping the 6 toggles in OSX server.

If you already know how to tweak postfix, et al then OSX server probably isn't for you.
Brain Tumor Symptoms and Treatments
I tend to always keep a fan running for the same reason. Even when the weather doesn’t make it necessary – I just put in a corner of the room facing against the walls. Its noise helps.

With music, instead, the less I know a piece the more attention it draws. I can’t work with background music for this reason. But Brain.fm barely has this effect on me, curiously.
I would have love to keep it. But the repair bill was 8k which still didn't fix some things like the rust in the truck bed.

With unlimited resources you can keep anything on the road. But 8k is about 25% the cost of a new truck, so you'd have to be bonkers to put that much into something that old.
The essence of competition is quite simple. Anyone in a garage with a great idea can put them out of business.

Money doesn't equal success. It may mean you have more at your disposal and can be more wasteful to get to your goals but if your idea isn't sound and nobody pays you lose anyway.

>> Everything seems like a hack on a hack

My experience with WP has been the same. Seems like you get a basic theme installed, and then whatever functionality you need you just download, install and configure a dozen or so plugins. Can't find a plugin that you need? Oh, then you can just write a plugin that you download, install and configure on your own.

The bloat from that approach just drives me nuts.
The thing I hate about both my iPhone and Android devices is checking 12 apps for update messages. If I could have a mobile OS with a universal inbox - to read new email, messaging, Tinder/Feeld/Bumble, AirBnB, twitter, and everything else I'd use it. Like what Blackberry had 10 years ago but with most of the messages coming from apps. If I were Microsoft I'd implement it as part of the Windows SDK.
Well, two things:

1) On iOS, Apple have a record of disabling third-party cables through software updates. Ask me how I know. :)

2) USB-C cables have a horrible reputation for quality control that's all over the place. This is one place where Apple might have a leg up, because a third-party cable could literally blow up your computer.

Honestly, it's mainly the combination of the high price tag and their shitty build quality that leads to near-instant fraying that pisses me off about Apple cables more than anything.
You usually need more detail than that because the ecosystem isn't uniform: if you sell games it doesn't matter that 200M people have a mid-range Windows PC at work; if you sell professional software the $400 laptop owner segment is probably irrelevant; someone who works on public websites or education has to support almost everything to avoid lawsuits, etc.
Your machine was the nameserver for the whole company? I hope you had fun with that.

> The entire concept of an elocution class is wildly offensive to most of the modern linguists I know; following the rise of super-linguist Bill Labov in the 1960s, the concept that one way of speaking is “better” or “worse” than another is basically anathema. But that wasn’t at all the case for the rich kids of Westchester County, Beacon Hill, or the Main Line (those would be the home of the elites of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, respectively).

Oh, nonsense. Sociolinguistic prejudices are still with us and it's only those of us speaking the prestige varieties of English who have the luxury of pretending we all speak naturally now. If you don't think so, ask some people their opinions of AAVE or "Ebonics." Or even a Southern drawl.

Wouldn't a better tribute to Terry be to use this for other people that might actually be forgotten?
Wow, there's a lot of whining in here about this it being a 'real server', hardware limitations, etc etc. Did none of you read the actual web page? This is clearly not targeted at anyone with requirements for rack mounting, let alone dual PSUs and OOB management. This is aimed squarely at the 5 man shop with an old laptop sharing some files (ps - there's your backup power):

From the copy
"The server for everyone.

macOS Server is perfect for a small studio, business, or school. And it’s so easy to use, you don’t need your own IT department."

And

"Small studios, retail shops, even home-based businesses can all benefit. It’s simpler than ever for people without much networking experience to set up and host macOS Server. "

So yeah - If you've heard of devops or need to spec out BTU and rack space for your servers this is not for you.
You'd really need to compare the same types of laptop (low-end, mid-range, high-end / consumer, business, enterprise) across different PC manufacturers.
Which OEM was that?
Question: How many profitable companies are out there that started their lives as mobile apps? The PC birthed Microsoft, Adobe, VMWare. The web gave us Google, Amazon, and Facebook as giants.

I guess Instagram would probably be profitable if it were on its own? Maybe Snapchat is? I don't know how companies like FiftyThree, Flipboard or Foursquare are doing, but you don't hear much about them any more?
I'm not sure; it was an old Debian Stable dvd, from early last year. And the first thing I did was change the repos to Unstable and do a dist-upgrade. The kernel release is presently 4.7.0-1-amd64. It was all a fairly annoying task to begin with a blank hard-drive and end with a usable system, but it was pretty neat when I got it. It's a usable system now, with a few minor bugs.
That would essentially mean more machines, so you are not reducing the (cap expense)/(time per unit) equation. Additionally electron beam optics are magnets, so driving multiple beams in the same space would be complex.

I work at Human Made (owner of the above repo, and an enterprise WordPress agency), and we run all our sites on an all-AWS stack. We have a few other plugins for related AWS pieces, including email via SES [1] and a dynamic image thumbnail generator that runs on Lambda [2] that might also be relevant.

Using S3 for the uploads solves our problems without needing EFS, as we disable file system changes through other methods. Plugin installs or upgrades are great, but aren't tracked in the git repo, so we do those via local upgrades and deploy out to AWS instead.

The article also mentions installing WordPress as being a pain, but you can easily automate this using wp-cli [3] if you want to. Your RDS containing the WP data is going to be shared though, so there's no real need to install more than once.

True. On the other hand, we each have precious little time and likely a limited number of world-changing ideas upon which to fall back.

But, of course we should have a backup plan. I'm just not sure why we can't also be disappointed when our world-changing idea is stolen by someone else who then reaps the rewards.
> Which is essentially burning money.

There's an assumption there about getting higher residual value on a used vehicle than what the dealer has in the lease paperwork.

The marketplace for used cars (before Beepi and Shift) is hardly efficient, and you might extract optimal price if you're willing to drive to multiple used-car dealerships or meet random people off Craigslist at random hours to accommodate test drives.

Some people would rather not deal with that, hence leasing that provides a guarantee a used vehicle will be accepted at pre-negotiated residual value.
