I got the X - added it to my shopping basket as an afterthought and ended up using it as my primary WAN router (replacing pfSense on VMWare ESXi)

I had someone tell me on Twitter to try out the better models because there is a lot you can do with them, and i've seen references to it before on other forums (it seems it is common now to do VPN routing setups on EdgeRouters)

I might give it a go - I do like trying different things out to get some experience across diff products

50k a month is plenty to be able to effort this.

Interesting how the Aleppo story we commented on was censored off of HN already :)

You know you're supposed to talk about "fake news" in conjunction with some "fringe" website - not a highly esteemed, reputable news agency like The Guardian!
Same here. AT&T's 2wire residential gateway worked great for me for 5+ years until the wifi could no longer get the job done from upstairs in one corner of the house to the xbox downstairs in the other corner. I added a more powerful WNDR3700 in the same spot and was back in business.
And the traditional "blue collar" jobs often have/had "Spanish" Practices designed to game the system - eg postal workers deliberately holding back first class post on a Friday to provide OT at the weekend - or doing a go slow in order to get a bung in a brown envelope.
It's only "specialized" because we haven't been doing it so it's considered special.

At some point you have to admit that what's meant for the computer is not always byte by byte the same as what's meant for the human.

We try to shove these two together and we screw up both of them.

Empower the computer to be the best that it can be by taking the human out.

Empower and respect the human by giving him/her their own representation.

The "I just want to read the bytes that are on disk" philosophy is inherently limiting and broken when the audience are two very different things (humans vs computers).

My argument is that instead of fighting that we must embrace it.
> I'm really not sure where I stand on the issue. One side of me says that "it's his money, he can do what he wants" whereas the other side says that society should protect it's weakest, and this man clearly has a gambling problem.

A point of clarification:

It wasn't his money, it was his employer's money which he was already stealing. While the game certainly rewards spenders and that sort of business model raises some ethical questions, to say this guy has a problem seems off the mark just because he didn't spend 1 million of his own, hard-earned dollars, he spent 1 million stolen dollars that he likely would've stolen anyway and spent on something else equally unfulfilling. He didn't have a value attachment to the money because it wasn't his, so spending it on something dumb like this game wasn't difficult.

I feel like it's similar to one time when I got $100 in game credits for Origin and blew it all on Mass Effect 3 weapons packs. Normally I wouldn't spend that money but it was a gift and I didn't want anything else Origin offered at the time. No value connection beyond the sentimental, so spending it in a silly way didn't feel strange to me.

Now if we come across some minor CEO who gets bankrupted by one of these games...that's something more in line with what you're talking about.
Show HN: CSS Pokemon – created with clip-path and CSS variables
Exactly. I, personally, find many things people pay huge amounts of money for plain stupid, but it's their money and their life, just let them do it as long as they don't harm others. How is spending thousands of $ on computer games any worse than buying golden iPhones, diamonds, luxury cars, lottery tickets, rare post stamps or coins etc? The only exceptions when intervention is necessary I can think of: a) a person is underage b) a person is mentally ill (by that I mean serious illness, not "gaming addiction"). We shouldn't be moral police and tell adult people how to live their lives and spend their money.
This is probably bad practice, and I don't hire much anymore, but when I did, I could usually put the resumes in three slots:
1/ Good match, want to see
2/ Maybe
3/ No

I generally give an immediate answer to 1 et 3.
2 are applicants that may do the job, but I am not really convinced, don't seem as great for the job as 1, and want to see them only if nobody in 1 gets the job. Also, 2 is definitely all the applicants that never received any answer from me, because I don't feel like telling them a straight no (in cas I'd need to interview them), and the job process usually takes a very long time. In the end, I either forget/procrastinate/feel like it's been to long to decently answer, so no answer.

As I said, I'm not proud of that, I know this is bad and not respectful to applicants, just being honest at how bad I am at the recruitment job.
Well, I am guilty of this. I do apply to jobs on the "other side of the planet" if it includes the keyword `remote`. Or if the job is too interesting to me, I shoot a mail asking if they are looking for overseas/remote work candidates.

The problem comes when I don't get a response. I tend to forget where I applied to months ago and I can't search my mailbox for a response. Assumptions: 1) No human saw it. 2) Maybe their policies changed, so let's ask again.

And hence, I become a spammer. I really don't know how to solve this.

I am baffled by this also. It doesn't even make sense that industry is STILL trying to stop file sharing. I literally forgot about this argument until recently; It's hard to imagine something less important to worry about. Yes, I would download a car.
Well, for many years I had that experience every time I tried to use UNIX command line. I think it's just the issue of familiarity.
> To succeed, it has to price the homes it buys accurately, without seeing them,

Which is why this will fail. No way you can get that right. Even in a block of identical flats there will be a range of prices: what floor, proximity to lift, aspect and a hundred other little things, not to mention the condition and style of internal fixtures and fittings. Having recently seen a lot of houses, every house is unique.

I once viewed two identical flats in a new block on the same floor right next door to each other, both facing the same way. One ended up selling for 30k more than the other. Why? because the view across town was partially blocked for one of the flats by a building across the street.
Your complaints are, IMO, orthogonal to the UNIX philosophy (which, IMO, is also pretty orthogonal to the rule of science; now I have upset both sides :) ).

UNIX philosophy is, as written in the article, is based on programs that do one thing well and work with other programs. The second part, "work with other programs" is the one that encourages (but not requires) simple, text based I/O.

If A, B and C write programs and independently design some custom, structured, binary I/O the chance of them being compatible is nil. If they output text, the UNIX glue of pipes and text conversions makes them cooperate quickly and efficiently. Not elegant? Sure. But working well in no time.
> "those who are saying that I can write a wrapper script is missing the point"

No, it is exactly the point.

Unix gives you Lego pieces to build things from.

A bunch of small Lego pieces you can join however you like is way more useful than a giant chunk of Lego that someone has glued together into whatever lump they happened to need that day.

When you ask why your Lego bucket didn't ship with pieces preglued into exactly the combination you want today, people absolutely will reply saying you have all the pieces you need and you can just join them yourself.

Because that is the entire point of Lego.

If that wasn't what you wanted, perhaps consider a different kind of toy?
Yes, you're right. Crappy phrasing.

80legs has a customer page with a few short blurbs about why each specific customer is crawling. http://www.80legs.com/our-customers.html

Competitive analysis is, I suspect, one of the more popular reasons, and not much public info on that...for obvious reasons.
That project is a symptom of manual pages not having good “EXAMPLES” sections. The examples on that web page should be contributed upstream to the manuals pages of the software that they are for.
Yes, but his point is still valid: You can to an extent reduce the overprovisioning you need by adding more, smaller units.

In your example, two boxes would have meant downtime no matter the capacity of each box too. All your example demonstrates is a reason why you might want to have capacity that allows taking more than one box offline....

Which could be handled with bigger servers, or more smaller servers.

There is a real difference between pursuing quality and being unproductively persnickety. One doesn't require the other.

Take your example of SO, the issue became so bad in 2013 they had to revamp the way moderation worked. They wouldn't have done that if it were just a bunch of people wanting to lower quality.

I keep personal notes in Dropbox. I formerly used plain text files, then I used my own syntax highlight format in GEdit. Then I started using Markdown in Sublime Text (with the "Sunburst" colour theme for making everything stand-out).

I tried vimwiki with the files stored in Dropbox but it didn't go anywhere. I liked the simplicity of just bunging stuff in a semi-structured .md file.

I worked with Markdown files in Dropbox for several years. However in the last year or two, I sometimes have occaison to read/write notes from my phone or tablet and Sublime Text is not available for those systems. I tried various Android editors like Markdawn and DroidEdit but nothing I was satisfied with.

These days I am slowly gravitating to Google Keep. It's simple but OK for my needs and I can use it cross-device - on desktop these is even a Chrome app which works like a desktop app.

man iwr

Oh, there's an OutFile parameter. Let's see what it does

man iwr -param outfile

How nice, it writes the response directly to a file instead of to the pipeline. The curl alias actually points to the very same cmdlet.

Not to excuse bad examples on the internet (there are lots of people who fail to grasp PowerShell and still try to write articles and how-tos), but PowerShell having built-in documentation for commands and parameters is actually fairly easy to figure out from within the shell. Admittedly, once you learn the basic half dozen or so cmdlets you tend to use all the time.

You're free to ask me (or on SO, I tend to answer PowerShell questions there) if you're having trouble. Figuring above out took literally just 20 seconds. Really. I'm kinda sick of people cursing and blaming tools just because they're different from what they're used to. If I did the same and complained about bash and Unix (which I rarely find the need or time to learn) I'd be tarred and feathered in seconds ...
Great point about not focusing on code reduction. GraphQL is such a big change from rest that the primary benefit will be different for each team you ask. Form my perspective in a startup with ~50 developers is this:

By providing a clear and powerfull interface you can significantly reduce inter-team communication leading to both higher throughput and faster iteration cycles.

From a technical perspective reducing round trips is important, especially on mobile devices and GraphQL makes this trivially easy.

These two points I suspect is the primary reason many medium+ sized development teams end up implementing their own bastardised version of GraphQL in their existing rest api. Many people we talk to at http://graph.cool are interested in deploying a thin GraphQL wrapper on top of their existing api for exactly this reason.
Most of people outside the 5% value cash over times. I've seen a lot of people begin to use UberPool in India who would have earlier commuted by partly open and definitely unsafe motor rickshaws. With pooling, they get an air conditioned car ride.

I drive for Uber part time and the majority of riders do choose the POOL option so I think you're wrong here.

# Free startup idea: HN style site that combines karma based gamification with in-app purchases!

Imagine if you could "buy" your way to the top post, thus ensuring you get more eyeballs, and hopefully more upvotes!

Worried about downvotes against your pointless comment? Buy a "Downvote Shield (TM)" (Note: the shield only lasts for 45 minutes so you'll have to buy another one if the post stays popular!).

What about going on offense you say? Well downvotes are a limited resource (one free per day, max reserve of 3, takes 24-hours to recharge your downvote) but no worries, but you can buy a 10-pack of fresh downvotes for only 20 karma crystals[1]!

[1]: Karma crystals are the in game currency. You can buy them in blocks of prime numbers for whole numbers of actual currency.

The type of sharing you are writing about is not what the comment I was replying to was writing about.

I don't find load shedding as acceptable, perhaps if there was a criteria for dropping based on priority it would make more sense.
I have a 150 sqm Apartment in Munich and it is very long. Like spanning alongside the house for nearly 45 meters. There is no way one FritzBox would be able to give me solid coverage from my kitchen (all the way to the west) to my bath (all the way to the east). Two Ubiquiti APs for about 150 Euros solve this problem, including Features like roaming and bandwidth steering.

Yes, a FritzBox might be enough for most people but it is not the perfect solution for all problems.

On a related note, I find your tone a little ondescending. Troy has big house, so what? There are people in Europe with bigger houses, too, you know?

Also, dedicated wifi hardware like Ubiquiti APs or Netgear Orbis are way better when it comes to handling your wifi when there are 25+ other networks in your area.
Uber says Pool is at 20+% of the rides. Huh, I stand partially corrected!
Everything I hear about this company is sickening. Bros with toys and no morals.
I think it depends where you live. In a dense city like New York existing pool services work very well indeed - the diversion to pick up is usually brief, and the savings considerable.
Our civilization has been using unstructured text for a very long time now...

I totally agree that Unix sux. We need a better philosophy. But you eventually have to come up with something that actually works in practice. I am still waiting.

I remember my excitement at the idea that things like CP/M and MSDOS running on personal computers were going to free us all from the tyranny of mainframe computers running things like Unix. We all know how that turned out. Everyone eventually just gave up and started emulating the top of a desk.

So Unix is good at messing with unstructured text? Good. Get back to me when you have something better that actually works.

I'm sorry what? Powershell has to be one of the better documented systems I've used in quite some time, and the sytnax lends itself to a certain "learning velocity" if you will. I also find that the general standard for tooling is a bit higher than say, bash.

It's also been really neat to see how well Powershell lends itself to extending other applications.

That's exactly right. If you are a competent engineer, you have your pick of jobs. And for every one of you, there are 100 others on the market, probably 80 whose resumes I'll throw away after 30s, 15 who won't make it through an initial code screen, and 4 who will fail in final round interviews.

This is why I don't seek professional help. In the US we treat depression as a clinical disease, but more a massive weakness. If you get diagnosed, it's hard to keep living a normal life. The State comes in and never leaves. You can never get back to normal. They will say your depression is in regression.

I know how you feel. I'd rather preserve my right to kill myself than have it medicated, occasionally by force, by the State.
> There are quite a few people making ungodly amounts of money. Many of these games market specifically to get those whales.

I remember reading somewhere (maybe even here on HN!) that a lot of the big spenders actually cannot afford it and aren't wealthy. I think it was in a recent article about the shady tactics the developers of these pseudo-games employ. Note: the same can be said about good old-fashioned gambling indeed.

Not the only one - I agree. Actually I think Clarke's third law is wrong (Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic):

Technology is magic. The reason why many people get uncomfortable when speaking of magic is that they think it's something otherworldly, and thus non-existent.

But magic is what we do, it's just a mystery for those who don't know the incantations and methods. That goes for technology as well as rhetoric, or medicine, or politics or what have you.

We even call it magical but it's somehow OK only if we don't really mean it. :-D
