I would say this really depends heavily on how motivated you are to begin with. When I was working on my side project while I had a full time job, I would:

1. Get off work at 6 and get home at 6:30.

2. Eat something very simple (no carbs because it will make me sleepy)

3. Start working from 7:00

4. Work till 6:00am (that's 11 hours, which is 3 hours more than my day job)

5. Go to sleep at 6:00 and wake up at 10am and go to work

6. Minimize lunch time and take a nap.

This was possible because I was super motivated. If you're not excited enough about something that you would go through all this trouble, then it's probably not worth investing your time in. That's why I think you're asking the wrong question if you ask "how do you keep your energy?" You don't. You will be always tired and you will not have a balanced life while you do this. But at least you are doing something that means a lot to you, and that's the main factor that helps you keep going.

Of course it is not sustainable to keep going like this for years with no break. So you should take a break once in a while. In my case, at times I would feel very tired or start feeling like burning out. Then I would just take a couple of days off from doing ANY work. Go out and party, watch a movie, do all the "bad" things I would never normally do. I think most people who haven't tried this would say this doesn't work. But from my experience, just a couple of days of doing absolutely nothing is enough to get me back on track--that is, assuming that I am excited enough about the project to begin with.

So if this model doesn't work for you, it probably means you should find another project to work on.

Yup, vertical mouse solves most of my right-side issues. It can't be one of those cool-looking vertical mouses either (e.g. Anker, Evoluent). While those do help, it's not enough for me. I get the most relief from an actual joystick vertical mouse.

> let them destroy their reputation and be their own undoing

My only concern is that their "reputation" is one perceived inside our sweet tech bubble. Basically, people like my parents and cousins from rural [Insert Southern State Here] have no idea what ransomware is. I reckon that the average computer-user doesn't either and may not know what to make of the results from a Google search on the subject.

That being said, in crisis mode, it's likely victims would go on to pay for their files to be decrypted depending on whether or not they can afford to do so. To me, this is similar to a government saying "we don't negotiate with terrorists". That's all well and good if you're the government and have tactical teams trained to carry out extractions if you're the one kidnapped. However, the family of your average citizen, like your average computer-user, may be more than willing to negotiate with said terrorists if it means ensuring their loved ones (or files) are returned unharmed. IMHO.
Those who voted for Trump - did you know you were going to get this?

I think Trump's stance on Apple was pretty indicative of where things are headed.
it's obviously just a fun thought experiment.

and we'd probably dust off the old PDP7s and stuff that are more suited to this kind of bootstrapping, instead of jumping straight to ELF and x86

Bruce Schneier: 'The Internet Era of Fun and Games Is Over'
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I think he's right.

It's a red flag, not the only red flag. Like, if you use strong encryption, have associated with known drug traffickers, and served time in prison on a felony charge, someone might want to keep an eye on you. It's one of many factors that may or may not be worth considering. The use of strong encryption alone should not be considered bad.
Can you quantify "much smaller?" 30%? 50%?

Also do you have any insights into why this is?

> Trump and his associated band of fascists

[citation needed]

Trump has already backtracked to more centrist positions (which was expected by those paying attention). And you can't ignore that the minority vote for Trump was higher than the previous Republican candidates.[1] Additionally, women played several key[2] roles in his campaign and an openly gay man got a standing ovation at the Republican Convention.

Anyways, you could say the very same thing about Hillary, but with actual evidence. Saudi Arabia, an undisputed theocratic regime that is not exactly known for treating minorities well (especially gays[3] & women[4]) and is funding ISIS[5], donated a large sum of money to the Clinton Foundation[6]. This is very out of line with democratic norms.

Oh, and the DNC shenanigans with Bernie Sanders and Hillary's cozy relationship with the mainstream media (i.e, getting debate questions in advance).
And let's not forget the anti-democratic Democrat protesters. Then there's the folks calling out for Trumps assassination and disturbing racist diatribes towards whites on Twitter. Not exactly democratic...

So tell me again who's aligned with fascists?

I was in pain for a year or more. I got a forearm massage to eliminate the knots. Then I changed my typing style to be more about comfort and less about what the typing instructors wanted. No problems in the 15 years since.
This article is horrible. The first 10 paragraphs have nothing to do with the actual subject in the title (the performance gap between GSM and CDMA iphones).

> The component at the root of the performance gap is the modem, a tiny chip buried deep inside a phone’s innards that turns wireless signals into data and voice. The iPhone 7 is the first Apple phone for several years to have versions with different modems. Verizon users get an iPhone 7 with Qualcomm’s latest X12 modem -- capable of downloading data at up to 600 megabits per second. AT&T customers get a handset with an Intel modem that tops out at 450 megabits per second.

This is the key paragraph, and it's a good chunk down in the article. The 3rd paragraph is also misleading- if the title of the article is about the AT&T iphone being slower than the Verizon iphone, why would you first talk about some features being disabled on the Verizon baseband? Worse, this off-topic mention actually came before the primary focus of the article.

Also, the difference in basebands has been known since launch day, this isn't news.
I'm trying to think of an alternative ecosystem that allows similar level of convenience to the Google ecosystem. Here's the best I could think of: (NOTE: this is for the AVERAGE user, so nothing complex like buying a custom domain)

- Fastmail for email

- Dropbox for data sync/storage

- Switch to iOS devices

My reasoning is that companies focused in one area (such as email or storage) and offering paid accounts will be much more responsive to any issues since it's their core business. And for iOS, it's because there's the option to go to any Apple store and get immediate support for anything. For example, if I'm suddenly locked out of all my Google Play purchases, I'm SOL. With Apple purchases, I can at least go to an Apple store and there's a chance of getting it resolved. That in-person human contact option is very very important and something Google doesn't offer at all.

I feel that the gun debate and the encryption debate have a shared argument: in a world where X is outlawed, only the outlaws will have X.
So, also being a PTL in OpenStack I would say that the foundation design is very similar to the OpenStack one.

1 - the openstack board has 0 technical input to projects - the way to get things done in OpenStack is still to throw developers at it.

This does somewhat push the balance of power to larger companies - they have the money to employ developers.

2 - we have "community directors" who are elected by the people who actually commit code
3 - definite improvement over the initial setup of openstack, but that is currently changing with the User Committee

One question I would have about this - how are the end user groups requirements put forward? what mechanisms is there to ensure developers work on the defined priorities?

4 - Yup - we have the equivalent with the Technical Committee (the TC in OpenStack slang)

Separation of powers is ++ - but how does that play out when the TOC decides that they want to do something that does not mesh with the boards plans?
Yep! All messages are in a single mbox file and it's 3.2GB.

I'm saying racism against white people holds approximately* no power in the US. Being white will approximately never prevent you from getting a job, getting a promotion, holding public office, feeling safe around police, being treated fairly by teachers, etc.

Because it holds no power, it is (rightly) seen as a harmless joke when someone makes a racist comment about white folks. White folks don't feel a twinge of fear when they see something like that on twitter or wherever it is. People of color do, because they know it is genuinely reflected in the sentiments and actions of their white neighbors, their white bosses, etc.

* - I use the word approximately, because I'm sure there are some very limited cases where being white could be a disadvantage, but they are vastly outnumbered by the situations where being white is an advantage.
One day people will grok that this "addictive/useless chitchat" is not good for them for any number of reasons. But in no way should anyone decide for anyone else how they should spend their time. You could empower thousands in the way you suggest and still end up with hundreds that simply just want to just go do a goods day of work and come home to family, beer and video games.

Providing access to the Internet will make a difference, because right now its gated and walled by every country on this planet...give me and the rest of the world direct satellite uplink sooner than later.
Just keep in mind that governments that take powers never give it back.
Did you business end up taking off?
I included some first-class environment manipulation in TXR Lisp. It's an obvious feature. They are already first-class in the internals; you just have to expose the API:

The API is very small, though:

http://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-01144687

Just make-env, env-vbind and env-fbind.

The intent is to be able to prepare an object which can be passed as the optional environment parameter to eval and its ilk.

First class environments of this type are not incredibly useful; they encourage the developer to create a more sophisticated eval hairball.

(First class environments in macro-expansion are incredibly useful, on the other hand; but that is at code walking time, not run-time!)

Note that no provision is made to allow a form access the current environment as a first class object. That is deliberate; by doing that, you turn the language into NewLisp or Tcl, slamming the door on future efficient compilation. Code should be written based on the assumption that there is no current environment, as an object. The compiler decides how the abstract environment maps to the machine code, and it's usually not via some object that neatly associates symbols with value places.

It would literally be a five minute hack to provide a special operator form like `(my-env)` that just yields the environment object when evaluated, but the damage these five minutes would inflict on the language would be inestimable.

> Those who voted for Trump - did you know you were going to get this?

Of course we did, we know this next 4 years are going to be largely terrible and he will be a horrendous president. However sometimes before you can rebuild you need to burn the existing structure to the ground first. We're tired of the status quo and want significant change in how we're represented. Sometimes you have to endure a little pain before things get better.

EDIT: I think the next round of house, senate and presidental campaigns/elections will be vastly different (for the better) than the last 20 years.
No, it doesn't need to be proportionate. They aren't the government. If you try to cheat me and I catch you, it is totally my right, totally reasonable, rational even, for me to decide I never want to do business of any sort with you again.
And it will continue to be a red flag until and unless it becomes common among individuals to communicate that way. Really, more individual education is the only practical way to de-stigmatize strong encryption in the eyes of authority; it can't be wrong if everyone's doing it, but if everyone isn't, it looks suspicious.
It is expected that the smallest attack surface will have less critical vulnerabilities, comparing an entire distro gives you a different picture, since categories like code execution get similar results.

The stark contrast is in the privilege escalation vulnerabilities from the Windows side vs the other categories on the Linux side.

I would assume that many persons prefer a server to go down, corrupt its data and leak it, rather than get compromised. The fine print is that the leaked data may contain information to compromise the server[1].

I discussed this very thing with Stroustrup as far back as the mid 1990s. He was, for example, a big fan of Lisp's macro capabilities, and described templating as a way of providing this kind of capability while (back then it was a goal) the ability to compile C.

(Compiling C is mostly out the window now of course)
What Test Engineers Do at Google: Building Test Infrastructure
Because the CTR stuff was so piss-poor and blatant. No one denies that they took over /r/politics/ to the point that it felt like a fucking North Korea parade.

What's more interesting is the prospect that /r/the_donald/ was also astroturfed. It seems odd to think that they would astroturf their own echo chamber until you stop viewing /r/the_donald as an echo chamber and start viewing it as a staging ground for crowd sourced meme-based advertising that started as paid astroturfing.
The president wasn't the only office contested during 2008. Even if the study is flawed, "ten million votes is too many" is a weak rebuttal.

Nah man, I mean, sure it depends what you do, but for example I'm just an iOS developer, I got a job here in Barcelona after a month of searching and more offers after that. They are all just normal companies who need employees.

Edit: It's true that I was already here in Barcelona, not applying from the States.
I think that is a more accurate characterization. There are lots of things which can indicate you're trouble. One or even two of them is probably not an issue, once you get to three or four it starts to be harder to explain away.
This argument is similar to the "nothing to hide" argument. People shouldn't be flagged just for wanting privacy.
For anyone confused about the date of this article, it was co-authored by the incoming CIA director Mike Pompeo at the beginning of this year.
I'm not surprised by this.

I also wouldn't have been surprised if a Clinton appointee had said this, either. Remember that her husband was trying to mandate key escrow and she herself, on the campaign trail, said that she wanted to monitor everything possible to prevent terror attacks.

Public education in America is covered by taxes. If you're referring to college then that's on your kid. Parents have no obligation to pay for their child's college education.

Healthcare costs in the US are always blown out of proportion. No one is paying $30k for surgery out of pocket unless they don't have insurance, which is now against the law anyway. At most, people are paying $1k per month for a large family, and that's only if your employer is cheap. If you're a middle class tech worker it's likely you pay very little for healthcare if anything at all.
So in the CNCF, are competing implementations allowed / encouraged?

For me that would have repercussions for what other tech a CNCF project supports (e.g. is all stats monitoring based on Prometheus, or can 2 projects in the CNCF support different technologies)
A network of people manipulating social networks is not going to come out and reveal themselves. Though we do have Correct the Record coming out saying they are "messaging" and we know they've spent $10 million. Where do you think that money went? What do you think messaging is? How is it by definition not paid shilling?

You just had to be on some of the reddits during the election season and you could literally see the tone change when the weekend would end.

We know the Clinton campaign did engage in a strategy of manipulating media attention (see Wikileaks). We don't know CTR is manipulating social media but we have a lot of reasons to suspect so.

At some point the burden of proof is on you.
Trump wins largely due to poorly secured communications of his opponent. I think HRC getting hacked actually pushed this issue forward. If it can happen to someone this powerful, and it is now so easy to secure email & texts, most Americans probably are. That means; hopefully, it doesnt matter if it is flagged as security is hopefully on a mainstream trajectory
This, along with Sessions who sided with the FBI in the San Bernadino case, makes me very worried about the future of online privacy and communications encryption.

Can somebody please allay my fears. Besides the EFF, where can I donate to have most impact in terms of preventing the requirement of government backdoors in consumer hardware or software?
This is true if you're starting from nothing. However, Gmail is over a decade old at this point and is the primary email for millions of users. And something like custom domain is beyond the technical skills of average users.
Writers give a title and a chapter to an Editor to 'shop' a novel. This has been going on for centuries.
No. Not really. And frankly, it scares me that this is even confusing to people.
I'm not sure what Trump has to do with this, since the government has been fighting/arguing against the populace having strong encryption for awhile.
Great game.
This is on the similar lines like the SIMS and both of them are different implementations of the 'life simulator' approach.
That's one thing I have learned at Toastmasters. You typically have 5-7 minutes but the first draft of most speeches is 15 or more. It's hard to let go of things you want to say but the results is always much better.
That is not really related to this thread since this is about how to "start a company with no free time" (hint: there is no such thing as "no free time"), but to answer your question, I did reach my goal and went above and beyond.
> and I still don't understand why I've never seen it elsewhere.

Because reflecting upon environments at run-time is a silly eval hack that defies compilation.

An environment that is exposed to the code at run-time cannot be efficiently treated by the compiler.

Lisp compilers throw away lexical environments when the dust settles.

An environment isn't something that is there, but you are blocked from accessing it by the evil Lisp implementation that doesn't provide an API. It in fact isn't there, except when the code is being inefficiently interpreted.
Nowadays it's Linux though, according to the article.
Still plenty of room at sea. Is there a fast growing mangrove?
@wilozxc, thanks for this!

what did you use to A/B test, adjust, and track?
Usually plays out something like this:

"Hi $BIG_COMPANY, we'd like to expand our usage of $SOFTWARE that we've already got a $BIG_MONEY license for. Where can we get client drivers for a new app that will use it?"

"Hi $CUSTOMER, that's great news. Send us a check for $MORE_MONEY and we'd be happy to help."

"Hi $BIG_COMPANY, to clarify, we're already paying $BIG_MONEY for a license for the server and we'd like to expand our usage of it. That means in the longer term we'd be more entrenched into using it and would likely renew your contract."

"Hi $CUSTOMER, that's great news. Send us a check for $MORE_MONEY and we'd be happy to help."
So they deliberately made it so that the end user has control over their own computer to avoid looking evil! How dastardly of them.

Either way, right now Secure Boot gives me more control over what runs on my computer, that's a fact.
The foundation operates health and educationprograms for single parents and children. Complaining about that is just dumb.
>> "America is in a long war against a resilient enemy capable of striking the homeland, but U.S. intelligence capabilities are falling short of meeting the threat."

>> "Reasonable warrantless searches are compatible with the Fourth Amendment. So are searches of data shared with third parties, such as social-media posts—a highly valuable surveillance window, since people undergoing radicalization are prone to showcase their zealotry online."

This type of rhetoric really concerns me. Especially because the author tries to distance himself from beliefs that he clearly espouses by structuring his opinions into factual statements ("America is in a long war...").

He says straight out that a) Social Media is a great tool for spying on people, b) that basically we should have 'thought police' ("people undergoing radicalization" ought to be spied (with the implication that they should be sanctioned)).
Not unless some pressure is applied.
Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. Granted, the BSD base is arguably one step removed from Apple (as that was NeXTSTEP, which Apple acquired), and both Darwin and OpenStep are open source. Apple continues to release the source of some of their software.[0] According to the "Myths" page at FreeBSD, "FreeBSD 9.1 and later include a C++ stack and compiler that were originally developed for OS X, with major parts of the work done by Apple employees",[1] so it hasn't completely been freeloading.

I don't know enough about the levels of contribution to either to make a strong comparison, and I'm more than willing to grant IBM and Red Hat make much larger contributions to Linux than Apple does to FreeBSD. And I sympathize with the desire to have more contributions. The "how Apple treated BSD" phrasing sounds like there is more active bad treatment rather than not contributing enough. Maybe the hiring of Jordan Hubbard is considered active bad treatment? (Honest question)
