Man pages in the terminal are pretty annoying as you can't (easily) search them.

By "Google" I presume you mean online indexes of man pages E.g. This site.

The other man pages sites are ugly, old and incomplete, despite that done of them rank pretty high on Alexa. I built this site to end up smarter, more modern, easier to use and more complete. Still a work in progress atm.
Made a med school entrance exam prep platform with my brother last year (www.bmat.ninja) - $12k profit last year, $27k this year.

Once the website was setup, maintenance workload was pretty minimal (the occasional BugSnag report), so I guess that counts as passive.

"New" is difficult to assess.

I'd say: GPLv3, Libreboot (fork of Coreboot). But it depends on what you find important. A starting point is here:

Fallacy, easily disproven at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation#Struc...

I guess you never heard of Eben Moglen (who's a lawyer and does great work with advocacy and public speeches), or Bradley Kuhn from FSF Europe.

Did you know who'd gonna take over Microsoft or Apple beforehand? No.

Where do you get that information?
I really don't understand why studios aren't doing VR revamps of existing succesful games. The Doom 3 mod shows how successful this can be. It's one of the best experiences out there and it's a free mod made possible by the fact the source for Doom 3 was released by ID. Yeah - the textures could do with being a bit higher res and not everyone can stomach the locomotion - but come on - throw stuff out there and see what happens

There's not a massive user base but it's chicken and egg and repurposing existing content could be a great boost for the sector.

This is you growing older and wiser, and his old rhetoric being outdated (someone like Eben Moglen, or even Edward Snowden is more up2date). You'll find the same to be true in other idealistic writings or speeches.

>How can you not be able to find your way through a startup codebase if you came from a corporate job, where presumably you worked on much bigger projects?

You'd be surprised. Enterprise might mean tons of legacy visual basic apps, or crappy add-ons to some proprierary platform, not "much bigger projects". Just because you e.g. work for a branch of Unilever somewhere, it doesn't mean you work on their payroll system or anything close to it.

This is the key point. In absolutes there is no such thing as passive income. Anything will take at least 1s of effort, and $0.001 of capital. The spirit of the term, is income that is heavily skewed towards being generated from assets rather than effort.

A new book is the edge case. While making money off IP is generally the perfect example of passive income. Quitting a job to become an author, is not. There is an implied lack of effort and cost in the question. Additionally, and importantly, there needs to be a sense of "free" in there.

The prototypical case:

- [bust your ass at work] >> [get evened out with paycheck] >> ["free!" passive income from savings]

New book case:

- [bust your ass writing] >> [nothing, world still owes you] >> ["free?" passive income from book IP]

Until the "nothing" gets filled in with the equivalent of a salaried wage, I'm not a fan of calling it "passive income".
Although I don't think this is feasible or even necessarily the right thing to do, I personally am dying to go back to the Midwest.

Coming from beautiful, friendly, cold Northern Michigan, I'd be ecstatic to get out of the DC area, but good luck moving the other 10,000 NASA employees.

It's a different culture in the Midwest. Some good, some bad, but overall I personally prefer the ability to have friendly conversations with strangers back home than the (generalizing here) awkward, egotistical, self-interested metropolitan area here. The first questions you are asked in DC are inevitably "Where do you work?" and "What's your title?". That being said, DC is a beautiful city and there's a lot of great things here.

But still, I'd much prefer to be camping on a beach on Lake Michigan...

The problem is that this provides a different experience than directly and inherently understanding all the different meanings/connotations of a word in the poem's native language.
The docs say that "[a] row must be an iterable of strings or numbers" [0]. So I guess an exception could be raised. However, the docs do tell a lie; non-strings are accepted and get converted to strings. You can pass any object in which has a string representation - including a byte array. It actually wouldn't be too hard to introduce a check for a bytes field, https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.6/Modules/_csv.c#l1227

+ if (PyBytes_Check(field)) {
+ append_ok = FALSE;
+ Py_DECREF(field);
+ PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "Field is bytes");
+ }
else {

This would then raise a TypeError.

I don't think this is the right solution. It seems weird to have a special case because people aren't watching what they're putting in. Garbage in, garbage out, consenting adults and all that.

The best way to avoid being called out for saying completely different things in public and private is not saying different things in public and private.

The all-in fixed rate is 2.10%, and let me repeat: fixed. Not LIBOR + spread + you need to have you savings account with us + you need to buy my home insurance, etc.

I don't understand why you say "tread carefully"... when it's the bank bearing all the IRS cost. Plot any LIBOR curve, and you'll see that the bank is the one to lose here. Banks are fighting for customers, and cheap loans and mortgages is the game they are playing. I could go into more detail, but given that I have a 12 month DSRA account in place, I'm quite happy with the investment.
Good idea, but a hard limit like 10000 is not that good. Statistical methods don't require specific sample sizes. Cherry picking, incorrectly chosen methods are the problems, not the sample sizes, usually. A hard limit would suggest that anything above this sample size is credible, while that's very far from the truth. The reproducibility crisis is very much unrelated to sample sizes.
> Your game designer works for a year and invents 7 games. At the end of the year, she sues you, claiming that she owns 4 of them, because those particular games were invented between 5pm and 9am, when she wasn’t on duty.

That's not what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid that after developing 7 games that belong to my employer, my personal website project that computes tax returns in ethiopia would somehow belong to my employer because

I'm perfectly fine with my employer owning everything related to what I'm employed there to do unless explicitly agreed otherwose

I'm not fine with my employer owning every single piece of "IP" (god I hate that term) that I have created during my employment but outside of work, if it's unrelated to their business. I don't even agree to that even if I have a "standard contract" in which I have stated that they own everything I do. I'm not going to argue over that contract, no one does, and I'm still not ready to give up the ownership of my personal projects.

That's because those are the most openly racist policies out there. At some point in history, it became harder to talk in the same racist terms as before.. Starting in the 60's.

And that makes things a bit fuzzy, unfortunately. Much harder to prove racist policies. And you wind up having to do a lot more digging and use examples. Think of the stereotypical crack dealer: That's from the 90's, if I remember correctly. We know the drug policies disproportionately affect minority communities and poor folks, yet numbers also tell us that addiction hits most levels of society. And have failed to change it. We didn't erase the racist-inspired laws either. To me, this sort of thing all stinks of. And I'm too cynical to think that suddenly, race had nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing does little to prove any of it to a non-believer.

The process also needs integrity.

I've seen a few of these proposals now. The good ones have a clear rationale for relocation: the Australian Federal Treasury, for instance, is moving a sizeable chunk of their workforce from the capital (Canberra, population ~400,000) to Sydney (population ~5m). Why? Because the financial industry in Australia, and many regulators in the Treasury portfolio, are based in Sydney. Seems logical to do this if you agree that lower-level, person-person connections are valuable (I think they are).

The bad ones have no clear rationale, and co-incidentally the relocation target happens to be a marginal electorate in some regional area...

Wouldn't it be a better idea to invest in bonds or more stable sources of investment for the next few years until we can make sure of the impact of Brexit-Trump? I wouldn't be surprised if AAPL and other giant third sector companies fall in value right now.
There's no guarantee at all. In a really bad year (2008?) you might get -50% or worse. Then you might get some really nice returns in the years after (or not!). If you average over several decades, historically, the returns have been around 7 or 8 per cent per year, but the standard deviation is enormous. Just look at a long-term chart of e.g. the S&P 500 at https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/%5EGSPC - click "Max" and "Settings" -> "Logarithmic" (you'll want a logarithmic axis so that equal percent changes are equal distance on the plot). You'll see that on average it went up over the decades, but between June '07 and February '09, it lost over 50%, and tripled since then.

I encourage you to read up on this, but someone else with more knowledge should recommend some books.
Yes, and that's why you pay for it. Yet here is somebody complaining about that.

If you e.g. can't be bothered to do continuous integration or automated testing, then you might consider RHEL with it's life cycle to be an acceptable alternative. Which is fine. Just be ready to pay for that service.

Similarly, if you wanted continued Python 2 support, you could have donated time or money towards that goal. I would be surprised if anybody complaining did that. There's just not that much business value in dragging legacy Python further along.
> but if a competitor comes out and wants to use your core, they now have to publish source for all their add-ons, so you can have them for free.

1. Strictly speaking, they don't have to publish anything, they have to provide the source code under the GPL to their customers/users.

2. They probably will make those addons GPL-only, so, if you want to incorprate them into your product, you have to make all your addons GPL as well.
Putin's game?
A little thought experiment for my HN friends:

Trump takes office in January 2017 > Putin extradites Snowden to the US (as a “gesture of goodwill”, so to speak) > Snowden is “put on trial” and executed > Mass demonstrations in Germany, Merkel’s approval ratings slip to all-time low > Merkel’s coalition government loses Autumn 2017 elections > Rise of radical politics in Germany > Germany’s stabilising role in EU eliminated > Political turmoil spreads to rest of Europe > Putin wins.

This is simplistic, of course, but brevity rules. My basic hypothesis is that: Snowden will be the trigger, Germany is the target, Europe is the prize. It seems to me that whatever happens to Snowden will have big implications for Merkel.

Any thoughts?
4.9% isn't even close to being the real unemployment rate.
That's a great idea for a journal aggregator. This is a news site.
That's a very clueless way to answer their question.

Accounting has several layers:

- Cash flow: this is what you'd look at for your lemonade stand. Actual money comes in and goes out (either "cash cash" or you bank balance, both is "cash" in this regard)

But that layer isn't the most important one for incorporated companies. Yes, running out of cash is a problem. But what usually / actually happens is failure on the "value" level:

- Your company has a value of which cash is only one, usually small, part. Stuff you own, like buildings and patents and brands are another. So is debt your customers have with you. On this level, you can spend money without any effect on the value: If you buy a skyscraper in Manhattan, you may spend %2 billion in cash, but you get a $2 billion building in return. You can also increase the value ("make a profit") without actually getting any money: if you sell the skyscraper for $4 billion on December 20th, 2016, you've made a $2b profit in 2016, even though the money will only arrive in 2017.

The reasoning is that this system results in a more accurate picture of a company's finances.

>It's not somehow stealthily extracted from you while you're not looking

In most cases, salaries are paid for work already performed. So, for at least the first cycle of a missed payroll, the non-paid work was stealthily extracted from you.

And, typically, that's when the company starts telling stories about technical payroll glitches, and so on. Arguably more stealth.
Yes but why answer the question when you can get on a soapbox instead?
Thanks. Literally a few. Contact me if you need specifics.

Sure, you can't design a study badly and make it up on volume. — but there's a point at which the sample is so small we really don't need to look much closer.

It can also be an unhappy thought: sometimes a great offbeat work can't reach the BS consuming masses, even when you throw celebrity and money to market it, because they just want more of the same plastic crap...

https://github.com/rollcat/judo
Given that one can make graphemes that contain many Unicode code points (213 in this extreme example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unicode/comments/4yie0a/tallest_lon...), I wondered whether that can be correct for any reasonable definition of "fully composed character".

As far as I can tell, it turned out to be correct, though. Perl 6 has its own Inocode normalization variant called NFG (https://design.perl6.org/S15.html#NFG):

"Formally Perl 6 graphemes are defined exactly according to Unicode Grapheme Cluster Boundaries at level "extended" (in contrast to "tailored" or "legacy"), see Unicode Standard Annex #29 UNICODE TEXT SEGMENTATION 3 Grapheme Cluster Boundaries>. This is the same as the Perl 5 character class

\X Match Unicode "eXtended grapheme cluster"

With NFG, strings start by being run through the normal NFC process, compressing any given character sequences into precomposed characters.

Any graphemes remaining without precomposed characters, such as ậ or नि, are given their own internal designation to refer to them, at least 32 bits in length, in such a way that they avoid clashing with any potential future changes to Unicode. The mapping between these internal designations and graphemes in this form is not guaranteed constant, even between strings in the same process."

From that, I guess Perl 6 extends its mapping between NFG code points (an extension of Unicode code points) and Unicode graphemes clusters whenever it encounters a grapheme cluster it hasn't seen before. Ignoring performance concerns (might not be bad, but I'm not sure about that), that seems a nice approach.
Yes, but it describes the Unicode situation in 2015. Unicode has probably already gained a few more dark corners since then, what with the proliferation of emoji, but that is not reflected in the article.
