There is a lot(!) of research on spanking (some links below) but there is a quote I heard go around attributed to Cicero, born 106BC, that I think is a better answer to your question: "Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book."

Similarly I remember in my college history of communication class, we were very interested in if the Internet would destroy relationships and power dynamics (I'm dating myself, Internet was new at the time) and we spent a lot of time looking at how upset people were with the rise of literacy, such as in Hunchback of Notre-Dame there is the sentiment that the book will destroy the church.

All this to say we have been complaining "kids these days" basically since they invented spoken language. Possibly we see kids differently today in western culture because we control more of their activities and time so we get more pushback ("I don't want to go to music class!") or simply we spend more time with our kids now than generations past and rather than allowing them to run outdoors with their friends, we see them running in restaurants and other non-ideal places.

Anyway, research on spanking/hitting as promised:

Who counts? I don't think by "SV/technology/hacker culture" you literally mean Silicon Valley only.

How about a devops person, working with all the latest tech? Does it matter if they reside in Virginia and work for the CIA?

How about a GPGPU and FPGA programmer in Kansas? Does it matter if the code they write is for cruise missiles and they attend Westboro Baptist?
Of course they care; any money they give you over the value of the home is unsecured! They're not going to lend you e.g. 20k @ 3.5% with no collateral. C'mon.
> Now your site and your monitoring is down. Much better to outsource to people who obsess over doing this right and making sure they are properly redundant.

You make valid points about redundancy and levels of reliability but keep in mind that even Pingdom can go down:

That's also a good answer for someone who was highly involved in politics - and might explain the smile.
I'm often hiking too and my battery almost always dies halfway through. If my family members were to initiate a rescue effort anytime they can't reach me, I'd probably have to stop doing anything.

Then again, I'm in Europe, so crime rates are virtually zero, and the only risk is spraining an ankle or something.
How will black hats use the data?
depending on what you're doing, maybe you consider this complexity no big deal.

but i don't think, for eaxmple, a standard setup using aws elb and autoscaling would support this.
I agree with you and I need to work on taking it less personally. But, can we agree that greying of posts is perhaps not the ideal way to treat downvoted posts?
From the article: "A good, defensible manufacturing strategy is one where you’re applying and protecting (ideally via patent) a faster, cheaper, more reliable way of doing something in your industry, by borrowing a proven approach from a parallel industry."

If you're looking for a formalized system designed to help with some of this, take a look at TRIZ[1][2]. I'll just steal one note from the "What Is TRIZ" article - "Somebody someplace has already solved this problem (or one very similar to it.) Creativity is now finding that solution and adapting it to this particular problem."

A big part of the basic tooling for TRIZ is the results of people going through a huge mass of patents looking for patterns of problem categories and how they were solved.

Fines are cheap. Engineering is expensive.

There's your answer. I don't like it any more than you do, but that's the world we live in.
Which in and of itself is silly. The raw dumps are already available to everyone, blackhats included. Personally I'm tempted to make a site that just lists it by domain and stuff. I found several people at my company with Ashley Madison accounts using a quick grep.
GEOS – GUI OS for the C-64
I can see dedicating the vast majority of one's time (even 100+ hours a week) to doing something you deeply care about. I would say, however, that the vast majority of people, even entrepreneurs, are not in a situation where their work satisfies that condition. I can only suppose Mr. Bosack's work did.

Nonetheless, idolizing 15 year olds who work 130 hours seriously rubs me the wrong way.
People don't use VIM for its GUI.
I concur. Street price on an Enterprise Samsung PM863 is under $1k, so this Micron announcement seems like not as good of a product for more money.
I suggested it before, but I think you can work around it: Let your customers give you their Twilio API key (with a big disclaimer that any charges by Twilio are not your responsibility...).

A wonderful opportunity to collaborate with a large variety of people doing a large amount of varied work.

I'm not strictly tech, more banking-tech-BPO cross-over.

Best moments, at the start: Playing with data and discovering fascinating stuff. Best moments now, 15 years later: mentoring and helping others grow, and in the process, doing so myself.
It seems a little unfortunate to have the name clash with the well-known Unix utility (this appears to be intentional? See how the web page is laid out like a traditional Unix manpage, too), but without the same command line arguments as said utility.

If this is important to you (as it is to me), it's worth noting that Cygwin supports creating native NTFS symlinks, and you can use the good old GNU ln (same one you'd use on Linux!) to do so. There are some caveats, but it should at least attempt them. See the documentation: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlin...
That seems reasonable to say there are that many people who could already do it, with minimal learning curve.

I agree with the former especially because of the latter half, I'm quite sure I could never do this today, but, I'm also quite sure I could learn to do this if I wanted to (and was willing to accept all the soldering burns I inevitably inflict on myself every time I try to solder something)

Ask HN: TODO list with points system to spend on rewards you assign
The general idea, is that you assign a score for each task, and whenever you finish that task, you get points equal to the score you assigned, and on the side, you'd have a list of rewards each with a number of points where you can choose which one to spend your points on. I looked all over the internet for something similar, but nothing popped up.
User experience matters, and this works very differently from how Google Latitude worked. Digital products are not about revealing the truth stored in database records. They're elaborate fictions we tell each other about meaningless database records.
The valuable thing is that you'd know in advance that you are likely getting a migraine, giving you a chance to adjust your activities for the day. For example, you may want to reschedule your dream job interview.
It depends what you're manufacturing, but the obvious answer is probably either

• visit their website

• buying their product and looking it up the parts online

• talk to your vendors

For the last one, this is particularly relevant if you're buying in a market with few suppliers.
But cant police use the tracking info already once you report someone missing?

This just seems like a way for busybody and manipulative people to stir up drama.
I agree with what you've said but I would add that as someone who works in the trades, and who knows quite a few welders who run the gamut from barely competent to "great", one attribute that all of the ones I would classify as great have in common, in addition to very high technical welding skill, is general problem solving ability.

I think many people, somewhat unfairly, view the path towards gaining trade skills as a case of simply showing up to work or class, going through the motions of practicing your specific skill, and after some period of time you simply become a master at your profession. Now, doing the aforementioned will probably get you to the competent level, but to be great at something like welding requires quite a bit of general problem solving ability in addition technical skill.

This is doubly true for those who end up starting their own businesses. I know a few welders/machinists who are working on their own now. The vast majority don't come from monied backgrounds and have a hard time raising startup capital so they end up doing things on a shoestring budget. The ones I know end up having to become at least mildly knowledgable in accounting, taxes, business regulations and things like fire code and labor laws, business contracts and sometimes even the local commercial/industrial real estate market. They do these things because they don't have the capital to hire others to do them. Despite in most cases having nothing more than a high school diploma, or some community college coursework, I would definitely say they excel at general problem solving.
rdiff-backup computes reverse diffs between files for multi-generation backup. This looks more like an implementation of rsnapshot, which maintains full copies of old versions of files (rather than reverse diffs). (I run rdiff-backup on Windows and find that it works well.)
Something about giving away all of my browsing information to Google in total puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I'd rather stick with Firefox and use DuckDuckGo when I want to run an unfiltered(ish) search.
Graduate school found me working more than 100+ hours a week in measured doses. I have the 40 or so white hairs to prove it.
Flagged for undesirable ideas/politics:

"Myth of the Strong Leader, by Archie Brown. This year’s fierce election battle prompted me to pick up this 2014 book, by an Oxford University scholar who has studied political leadership—good, bad, and ugly—for more than 50 years. Brown shows that the leaders who make the biggest contributions to history and humanity generally are not the ones we perceive to be “strong leaders.” Instead, they tend to be the ones who collaborate, delegate, and negotiate—and recognize that no one person can or should have all the answers. Brown could not have predicted how resonant his book would become in 2016."
> Politics is tribal, so we're talking about something that profoundly undercuts thoughtfulness.

Politics isn't always tribal and many people on HN are capable on thoughtful arguments on politics. HN suffers from the "LKML-effect". Few people can or are interested in following the linux-kernel mailing list, so naturally it only gets attention when Torvalds is screaming at someone. It's the same with politics.

When "diversity in tech" became more popular on the Internet it would get flagged off HN repeatedly. Some stories would get through and thoughtful discussions would start, but people quickly learned (maybe without knowing it) that if you just flame the story it would hit the controversy algorithm. So people would submit more sensationalist stories so it could get more upvotes to counter the flags and flame. Now the level of discussion is set and people don't mind how they express themselves on the topic.

If instead HN would have owned the issue and moderated it heavily it would increasingly have gotten better. People would have learned that flagging or flaming wasn't a good idea and those with more reasoned arguments would formed a critical mass to self moderate comments.

Programming is often tribal, yet there aren't a lot of flame over things like Erlang on HN. Because even if not a lot of people know Erlang, we haven't alienated all the Erlang programmers. So Erlang stories are generally advanced enough to not attract bad arguments and even they would someone would presumably challenge it.

Yes, there are political stories that aren't relevant and/nor thoughtful. But those aren't the stories that could, presumably, be categorized as "fit for HN" anyway. But by just banning entire segments of political but relevant stories is letting the "unthoughtful" people win at the cost of the thoughtful ones.

It might not be relevant enough to fight for discussions about Trump in general. But are we going to avoid to talk about e.g. surveillance, like we always have, just because the president is controversial? That would, if anything, be changing HN.
It's not just fines; it's the potential loss of your certifications upon which customers condition their business. That's a Big Deal.
Some London companies are using it for their production tools.
Supposedly it was ICAP Singapore. Anyways, I hope they explain what happened.
If you keep pushing yourself like this, you'll crash and burn, and it takes a long time to recover, trust me on this. Get your 8 hours of sleep, and remember that you are not a robot. Take care of yourself.
If I can get costs down elsewhere I'll maybe just do "unlimited" on some of the accounts, where "unlimited" is some large arbitrary number haha.

Just kidding. I like the idea.
Catmull-Rom spline is a "smooth curve with control points through which the curve passes". Not sure about the "consumed" property though. Interesting question.
Not much, maybe once a month. One thing I vaguely recall is the sequence and error handling of some service caching, writing to a database, and putting a message on a queue. Obviously it wasn't about "curlies in the right place". And as mentioned, it wasn't recently, it was about 3 years ago now - the most recent team I work with is very small and half remote.

I still think there are things that are good to be able to do, even if you don't use them regularly. As a bad metaphor, swimmers do some dry-land training...
I think that's a fair question. That said, I think it's important to balance where the effort is expended. Cleaning up flame wars requires work on the part of the moderator at very little cost to those fanning the flames.

To perhaps abuse an analogy, when a neighborhood gets well known for arson, people will move away. At some point it may make sense to forbid certain types of structures in the neighborhood to see if it reduces the instances of arson. (okay, that's admittedly pretty tortured :)

It's a trade off, and while I'd like the world to be perfect and people talk about everything calmly and with respect, empirically this is very much not the case for certain topics. A limited test (detox week) makes sense to me. And it might not work, which is why it's a test.
agreed and also trade shows. Simply asking "who are you a supplier for in Industry X" is surprisingly fruitful.
Take a look at the TCB curve: http://cubic.org/docs/hermite.htm
Looking through your last couple comments you seem like you're constantly looking to get into political arguments by writing inflammatory comments mostly regarding gender. I'm not surprised that when you fish for a political argument, you end up attracting the worst that the site has to offer.
I could care less about the "internet points". Look at my karma--I don't need them. My objection is to the greying-out/hiding of comments that are voted down. This is how a majority can effectively silence a minority viewpoint here on HN. It's easy to say "get a thicker skin" when it's not you that's being squelched.
I recall an interview once where I was told that everyone on the team put in 60+ hour weeks, every week. They then said something along the lines of, "Hey, nobody has ever turned down a job with us before, just because we work too hard."

They honestly looked surprised when I offered to be the first and walked out.

It might be nice if you tell us what the two presentations are, or at least who the two presenters are. (The link you supplied doesn't say, either.)

Also, this might fit better in "Show HN" than in "Ask HN", since you aren't asking anything...
You and the parent aren't really disagreeing.
> I really like the way he limits his list to 4 books.

I've been doing this when friends ask for recommendations to cities. Google and guidebooks are already at their disposal, so a manageable list of 3-5 options with some personal insight is better than a comprehensive, but impersonal list of 20.

And if folks haven't read DFW's Roger Federer as Religious Experience in String Theory, you can read it on the Times web site (but you should also look into reading the rest of his works):

I have wanted to ask this for a long time. What do / should you do once you have been pwned?

You definitely have to change password, or even use password manager. But your record is now widely available it feels as you have been naked on the Internet.

You may likely change your email address ( Login Name ). But opening another email account is such an hassle. An opening yet another account on those of your favorite site means you lost all of your pass record.
If you are using GNU screen, you can also see how each "frame" is drawn by looking through the scrollback buffer.
It's funny how much your perspective on graying changes in your early 30s: I feel like I earned those hairs (for which I also have a PhD to thank) / am just grateful to have hair at all. My 18-year old self would appalled.
In logic, smaller is faster: less capacitance, shorter channels, and thinner oxides means faster switching.

In memory, smaller means less space to store your bits. I remember a quote from somewhere that with TLC at 20nm, you could lose only 1 ELECTRON PER YEAR from the floating gate to meet the memory retention spec.

Also, NAND had smaller feature sizes than logic for some time, before they really hit the wall. They innovated a lot of advanced techniques like quad patterning for memory cells. It helps in memory that you are optimizing for one and only one cell.

In my 20s I regularly did 80 hour weeks.

In my 30s it was probably 60 hour weeks, but I once did six back-to-back 100+ hour weeks to ship a feature. Took me a few months to recover from that.

When I was in my late 40s I did a three-week reprise of those back-to-back 100+ hour weeks, and again it took me months to recover. I escaped that particular group just ahead of a year+ death march that I probably would just have quit in the middle of.

Sure, you can crunch. There is a cost. I probably would have been a lot happier not working so much, but honestly I didn't know how.

It's still easy to get sucked in, but I'm both too wise and too old to do heavy crunch hours, though I will happily spend the odd few late nights getting something out the door.
Yes!!! This idea is way overdue. Lets hope it takes off like a bat out of hell and finds its way into everything.

Most interesting thing I learned is that the primary cause of death of the scientists who at that time were still researching the resulting decay, was from heart failure and strokes.
Yup, what a waste of a great product.

It would be super nice if you did not do this. I assure you, women who have been here a long time have good reason to have baggage. Her approach isn't productive at the moment, but your comment will read to quite a lot of women as victim blaming and drive them away.

This undermines the progress that some people here have work incredibly hard for.
I hate the "objective statement" (since it is almost always just filler nonsense), but a good personal statement can go a long way. It's like a good thesis statement: make a bold claim that is backed up by the evidence in the resume. But it helps to tell people what unique stuff they should look for.
My memory is bad but I recall it was the CDC 6600 or one of the CDC's that came up with Register Renaming right? The precursor to Tomasulo's Algorithm.
I work for a web agency who bills my time directly to the client, but I get paid salary. I would have a very hard time working more than 40 without feeling like I'm getting ripped off (since I get paid the same amount regardless of time).
