I ran a project recently where we'd hoped to do everything in 30-hour workweeks, but it quickly became apparent we'd need 80-hour weeks to complete it for our deadline. We ended up working about 3 weeks straight in a full-on 80-hour-a-week sprint.

Usually I hire for passionate people, and usually it isn't because we need 80-hour workweeks. Usually it's just because the output is often better, they notice more mistakes, take more initiative, and bond with their teammates more.

However, in this case, suddenly we had to switch from, "It's a 30-hour per week project," to, "It's an 80-hour per week project," and because most of the team was deeply passionate about it, everything was fine and everyone continued to show up and do fantastic work until we completed the project.

We had two team members who refused to stay more than the 30 hours per week we projected at the start. Even if we offered them more money, they wouldn't do it, because they just didn't want to. Work-life balance, etc. But it was okay, because both were in non-critical roles. So we let them go and continued without them.

Had one of our hires in a critical role been "not passionate", we would've failed the project. But we didn't, because I made certain that when we hired the most critical roles, we hired for passion as much as anything else.

We were on-site in a foreign country. So the options if there were no passionate people to hire would've been, "Stay 9 weeks instead of 3 weeks in a foreign country, for 3x the cost, and do it in 30-hour weeks," or, "Give up."

Fortunately for me, I suppose, there were and are people passionate about our business, mission, and industry available for hire.

You don't need passionate people for everything. I prefer dispassionate hires for repetitive roles that need steadiness and regularity. If we need a guy to clock in every Monday morning at 7 AM and clock out by 4 PM and do the same work every day and do it consistently, that's a role where we don't need "passion", and where passion would even get in the way (passionate people want to get more involved, they want more tasks and assignments, they want promotions, etc. Great for some roles, but not for the repetitive grinder roles).

But, yes. There is a distinct need for passionate people. There is a market demand for them. It isn't just "Company X is cheap and wants twice the work for half the pay."

Sometimes you want the guy who's going to do it "just as their job." Sometimes you want the guy who's going to do it as a personal mission, as a great undertaking to accomplish.

It depends on the role, the project, and the hiring manager. But that's market forces for you - different people, looking for different things, end up in different places, and command different positions, rates, and lifestyles. It's the free market. And it allows us to do things we could not if we were all forced to adhere to one single way of doing things. This is a very good thing.
That's how they look for me too. I agree it makes it hard to see which bar is what, but it makes it easy to scan all the results numbers in order.

Not trying to be dense, but possibly succeeding: why does this indicate that Seattle's price growth is sustainable? If Seattle builds too many apartments with those cranes surely the growth in prices will collapse (homes seem to be supply constricted and to some degree a lack of supply has dampened demand, but this might change if condos became very affordable). Alternatively, if Seattle builds out too little then prices will grow unsustainably until they collapse to sustainable levels due to supply restricted demand dampening. So there seem to be two goldilocks zones: one where demand and supply are in harmony, and the other where they're totally out of whack and the combination of effectively liquid real estate and fluctuating value overdampen to produce stable averages with unstable individual outcomes. Which is the claim here?
The problem is that any 'fee' is subject to political economy. The government may begin by charging the monopoly rent, but will soon grant exceptions to favored groups. After that, the government will raise fees on disfavored groups, and redirect revenue to 'where it is most urgently needed'. The locks will then fall into disrepair, users will find other alternatives, and by the time the government goes on another infrastructure-repairing frenzy, it will be much too late.
I actually just arrived in Seattle to take the official HTC course on using the Steam VR positional tracking system, and this was one of the first things I saw as I got off the plane.

I see a lot of drug related prison sentence, and riots do happen in the US in some neighborhood, and it makes the news. Not to mention the gun violence and recent prison riots.

What I was saying is that if you want peaceful streets, you have to care for the poor, if not things will get messy. To me things are not really peaceful in the ghettos. High welfare helps "taming" the problems poverty creates.

I did not make that argument - I was talking debunking the "shared culture" idea and rejecting the lack of nuance. Corruption is not cultural - east and west Berlin had different levels of corruption due to something other than culture.

If you think all sub-Saharan African governments have the same levels of corruption, you're plain wrong. As an illustration: (in no particular order) Nigeria, Botswana, Kenya, Rwanda, Zimbabwe have corruption levels that range from "it's expected in every official interaction" to "you (civilian) will wind up in jail if you bring up the idea of a bribe". So there's nothing that's inherently African or cultural about it.
A big issue I see with CSS-in-JS at this moment is server-side-rendering and caching. You started working on a babel-transform for extracting static styles but seem to have changed your mind about actually extracting that to a css-file[1]. Requiring a JS-parser to apply the styles is the wrong approach but might be a stepping stone as it's probably an easier problem to solve. Separating JS and CSS should improve performance somewhat as the browsers can run the scripting and styling engine separately. In the end I'd like a transformation that creates one CSS-file per JS-file so that common chunks can be combined by webpack, gaining high cache hit percentage on sites that uses reloads. Transformations should also be applied to the JS so that SSR doesn't have to calculate styles each time.

To compare capacity, this is only about 22 freight trains per day. (assuming 100 cars per train)

Why are we doing this again? Trains are way more versatile. We can switch trains onto tracks that go all over the place, not just where we have rivers.

Trains can't cross the ocean, but barges don't either. Trains do however carry containerized freight, which is easily loaded into container ships. This is another win for trains.
The problem is whether people like to admit or not is that it does work. And as someone who thinks about killing themselves often, ironically one of the only things that keeps me going is knowing suicide is always option if I can't fight anymore.

I'll also mention a lot of people don't have close family/friends and either way in my opinion it would be selfish of them to want me to continue living and suffering just so they don't feel bad.

If the main reason your not ending your suffering is because you don't want someone to feel bad then I'd argue you're dealing with depression in a completely unproductive way.
People would complain less if the costs involved were clearly spelled out, as well as who was paying the costs.
Curry-Howard is not known to apply to Java and C++. That's because the typing systems of these languages are no logics. For a start, in both languages, you can write non-terminating programs, hence any type is inhabited, which means inconsistency if you interpret types as truth-bearing propositions. Currently Curry-Howard mostly only works for strongly normalising, pure functional languages.

It's also not clear if Curry-Howard is really an isomorphism. For a map to be an isomorphism, structure has to be preserved in both directions, but what is the structure on proofs? That's a wide open question. We can't even agree on what it means for proofs to be equal. (The structure of is the content of Hilbert's 24th problem that he decided not to include in his famous 23 problems [1].) It's better to speak of the Curry-Howard correspondence.

There are ants that harvest leafs in order to cultivate fungus as well as well as ants that cultivate aphids, so cultivating something else is really not that surprising. That said, ants are cool and coffee is cool and I'm glad I've now read about their intersection.
And yet you're pushing connotations onto it.

"Open source" was meant to be a way to frame the discussion in different terms. Yet by saying that it was "for the explicit purpose of de-emphasizing user freedom" you sneakily imply motives to the people who coined and promoted the term. Once parsed out, rhetorically it's about as sensible as post-9/11 "they hate us for our freedom" discourse in the US.

Sure you can - you just need to copy it.

And I didn't mean to imply that array references should always be read-only. What I meant is that there should be a way to say "the referenced array cannot be mutated through this reference", like const* in C. 90% of the time, when you pass or return arrays, this is exactly what you want.

That wasn't quite my point, but I know what you're getting at. I just meant it in a more "people are probably just gonna go back to piracy if you start taxing them on things they expect to not be taxed on" kinda way.
I have implemented both AMP and Instant Article "views" for a website and boy is the latter a bigger pain in the ass. The format is way more restrictive than AMP. Whereas the latter allows for nested lists, columns, or nested pictures Instant Articles require almost everything to be linearly placed on the top level. So unless your source format has a similarly simple structure you will have to think about ways to transform it down to that. Then, documentation is missing all the crucial details, so I ended up sifting through FB's SDK internals, which still ended up not covering all the issues reported by the web editor. Also, the only way to visually test the output is via the Page Manager app.
I'm not sure about this. In the prisoners dilemma, you may be at a loss if you don't care about others.
Likewise, you may be at a loss if you don't value enough these freedoms for others when building and giving 'things'.
I think the present research into the colonisation of other planets is too slow to ultimately help mankind. Our resource and climate problems on this planet will cause serious issues within the next 100 years.

Personally, I think we should pour all our research into the quantum world. Finally understanding the quantum world will have a tremendous impact on mankind; the quantum computers would have unimaginable power and capabilities; we may be able to harness the quantum world for unlimited clean energy with progress already being done; we could understand the wave and particle duality so that we could 'convert' ourselves to wavefunctions and travel at the speed of light rather than the paltry speeds of today; and ultimately we could eliminate our physical forms and immerse ourselves in the quantum world as wavefunctions (a la Lucy) which would then remove any physical requirements such as location, resources, etc.

I think this is more plausible and near-term than physically uprooting ourselves to another planet using incremental scientific advancements. The survival of our species may require, as Neil Armstrong said, a giant leap.
Great project! When listening to an interview with Alan Yates[0] (main designer of the Lighthouse) I was thinking about an application like this.

Don't worry about them, loud minority. Zed Shaw's book, (I've read it) does rub people the wrong way in many communities. Don't worry about it, mostly it got ad hominem over the years (think Phil Fish). Just focus on your studies and to hell with the rest.

You'll probably be ignored here on HN as people will assume you're just trying to growth hack since your title (and post history) suggest you're not a regular.

Aside from that, hello fellow kiwi! Does this violate IGs TOS? It gets pretty gray when you automate interactions on IG or SC, just curious about your experience with being banned or similar. I suggest redoing your page and putting the how it works right at the top, and cut out the marketing-speak. This is a tool so your users will be experts at social and they need to know the meat of what it actually does in as few words as possible. Seriously, cut the marketing-speak even though you're talking to marketers, they'll appreciate the respect for their time.

I'm curious: FastSpring supports sellers from all over the world as their customers, despite having no local presence. It's not difficult. Why can't Stripe? I was waiting for years to be allowed to use it, until MOSS happened in EU and I no longer care - FastSpring's higher fee is well worth the VAT offloading they do for me (and Stripe wouldn't because of the different setup).

I haven't used blender in years, so don't know about recent UI. But I totally loved the interface of the first opened version. It seemed optimized for power users, not casual users. So, steep learning curve but very rewarding/powerful if you invested time to learn it. Reminds me of vim.

Machines are much better than humans at detecting pedestrians, but only in situations they are specifically designed or trained for. If a machine finds itself in an unfamiliar or unknown settings (or if its sensors fail in a way not accounted for in the design), it will fail catastrophically. A human will not.

Hell, machines tend to fail even if the setting varies slightly from what they are designed for; just see the numerous ways self-driven machines failed recently for examples.

Machines must gain sensory and cognitive capabilities that exceed ours and a working comprehension of human values for me to trust them.
Unless it's a table with high write load. You're basically shifting the expensive part from read time to write time.
If you don't and are rather a windows guy, I strongly recommand Smartermail. They have a free edition. Very easy to setup, all in one solution with a good webmail. Supports ActiveSync (not free though), SPF, DKIM. But not let's encrypt.

One thing to know, you need to activate the option to use TLS for outgoing email. A bit of a stupid default in my opinion.

Definitely. An algorithm of the day would be nice.
There was some effort towards it and I'm still running a dockerized version without any problms whatsoever, but the maintainer considered Docker too hard to setup in the end (e.g. https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/issues/16)

What types of spam do other people see in their personal mail servers?

The majority of spam I receive is from addresses that have been leaked ( Santander bank is particularly bad for those for some reason ) or bought in an acquisition; perhaps two or three per year. I just blacklist those addresses.

What really annoys me, though, is that eBay passes my unique-to-them email address to vendors from whom I buy items and several of them have added me to their mailing lists over the years, but thankfully de-subscribe has always worked.

I'm sorry you are in this situation :|

For now, maybe you can consider suicide watch. I know it sucks but it might save your life.

My other advice is that when you have a little energy you could look into Stoicism. It's a coping strategy and it really helps! You might be able to live a full and fulfilling life under stoicism practice despite of your current situation / future situation.

I wish you the best. Stay strong <3

Space colonization never was about changing things on Earth. We will ~never be able to send a meaningful number of people to other planets, so no environmental problems on Earth will be solved, except perhaps by proxy via improved technology.

Quantum computers are also way less cool than popsci makes them look. Unless you want to do quantum mechanical simulations or factor prime numbers, normal computers are fine.
I haven't done any 68K Asm and barely glanced at SPARC, but how does src, dst interact with noncommutative operations like subtraction and comparison? E.g. with x86 Intel syntax,

cmp eax, 5 ; eax - 5
jg morethan5 ; eax > 5 ? then jump.
sub eax, ecx ; eax = eax - ecx

This is one of the most confusing things about AT&T x86 --- the comparisons and subtractions have their operands reversed, and you have to identify and manually reverse them to understand the code correctly. With Intel syntax, the operands to a subtraction appear in the usual arithmetic order. Or do those processors' syntax keep the order but instead replace the subtrahend with the result??

sub A, B ; B = A - B ??
It is interested how can cultural differences play out. We Russians always thought that placing the ultimate power of authorizing the nuclear strike in the hands of a single individual is irresponsible (we of all people know really well that said individual can go insane without a prior warning). So, adding non-human components into decision loop is regarded as an improvement by Russians. We don't really trust fellow humans, especially in positions of authority.
> Traveling back in time subsequently doesn't make sense because the "past" is simply what we call previous configurations of matter.

That doesn't sound right - traveling back in time should also 'replay' random events not directly affected by the position of matter, such as radioactive decay.
iperf has been, at least for me, a good benchmark for how fast file transfer might be, if everything goes well. Usually they are a bit [say, NFS] (or much [say, NFS on Windows]) slower.
being rejected 4 times is not uncommon. How do you apply to jobs? Make sure you apply in massively parallel, statistically you increase your chances. contact a recruitment agency, they are can help you get in touch with a company. contact many recruitment agencies. increase your chances. go to interviews, you'll get practice doing interviews, you learn what to say and what to ask. //you must learn to speak the words recruiters wants to hear.

look outside your comfort zone, challenge yourself---consider relocating to a different country//EU made that simple for us.

school is nice, but heh, not super important. it helps to get your through your interviews.

your life experience is your greatest asset. you sound like a hard worker. keep trying and never give up.

life is a series of rejections, your job is to put those behind you always look forward. future is ahead. who knows what wonderful things you will achieve?

your life is precious. not just to you but also the people around you, strangers, families, old friends. you might not know it, see it or be aware of it, but be certain that you are important.

keep trying, but be ready for change.
