Ask HN: Do developers need a rating and review site for tools?
Basically: discover, rate, and review development tools/apps. From frameworks (e.g. Meteor) to actual tools such as Elasticsearch and Postman.
When I'm searching for great tools I use platforms like Stackshare and Siftery, but these don't have a rating & review system which is what they're lacking in my opinion, meaning it's sometimes difficult to distinguish the best from the rest.

If you're familiar with Getapp, the business app platform, this concept I'm talking about would be the Getapp for developer tools/apps/utilities instead of business tools (it would have to have a very large database of many development tools). I'd personally use it to discover new tools and see other developers' reviews of those tools, perhaps explaining how they used them.

I've only got feedback from one other developer so far. Quote: "I would like to see such a service, currently when making technology choices I scan through many things, including developer blogs, and also attempt prototypes. Technology choice mistakes in dev can be hugely expensive. However, I think the level of engagement needed to understand a specific goal and recommend a "best" solution is too hard to productise, and you take a very large risk attempting to build this."

What do you think?
White-collar boxing uses the big and "fluffy" 16 ounce gloves. Full head, mouth and groin protection is compulsory. The fights are limited to three 2 minute rounds. The refereeing is extra strict and fights are stopped after the smallest chance of concussion. The benefits far outweigh the risks.

In normal, competitive boxing, the risks are when fighters become dehydrated and sustain concussion, but keep going the full 12 odd rounds.

I don't know. I see a few universities looking into building their own setup. I see the Chinese filing patents, testing them in orbit. I see a 2017 microsat launch. I see a healthy debate continuing over on the reddit Emdrive board.

That doesn't look like people trying to sell things to me. That looks like a lot of different people from different backgrounds playing around with an experimental setup that does something unexpected.

The only difference I see is that with the FTL neutrinos, folks were saying this breaks a mathematical model that we've proven over and over again. With the emdrive, folks are saying If this works, it's by some model we do not yet understand. It doesn't attempt to disqualify an existing model; it suggests there's some other model applicable that we don't quite understand yet.

For most folks, this is quite more upsetting than the FTL guys. I get that. Still, observe first, theorize second. I'm sure the theory folks will catch up, and it'll probably be some sort of EM leakage we're talking about. But maybe not. Maybe we've accidentally come up with a new kind of photon rocket. That's what makes the story fun.

Building your own Multi-Model Database – Part 2
Living abroad I've gone the remote road since 2009. I went through a lot of this same stuff but never associated it with my being remote/working from home, though now looking back I can see it most likely did. My health and mood increased once I started to force myself out to socialize more and once we had our children - the household is always busy and full of noise and life now, versus before when my wife went off to work and I sat alone in a quiet apartment all day long. Since the birth of our second I've been doing my first sprint in any nearby coffee shop each morning and that has improved my mood and productivity even further. I've been toying with the idea of a co-working space and this article has convinced me to give it a go.

We are social creatures, to varying degrees, and if we limit out interaction with others too severely, I think it makes it too easy to look exclusively and excessively inward. I'm all about self-analysis and looking inward but there comes a point when you go too far and it's no longer about reflection but a feedback loop of anxiety/fear/self-doubt... at least that has been the case in my experience! Also, regular exercise (running, lifting) has always helped me out of these emotional funks.

>Coroner is an elected position where you live?

Sure is. I heard an anecdote through a common friend that a past coroner, who wasn't personally political, was running for office.

My friend, a Republican, asked why the coroner was running as a Democrat. The coroner replied, "Because this is Trumbull County and I want to be coroner."

Anywho, it's often an uncontested race, as it was in 2016: http://www.boe.co.trumbull.oh.us/pdfs/Results_16P.pdf
> One Facebook broker, Acxiom, requires people to send the last four digits of their social security number to obtain their data.

This is just one of the many WTFs that Facebook apparently actively supports.

In what world, what possible explanation was this ever a good idea? Or a reasonable idea? Either the US SSN is like a password (it's not) then how did Acxiom get their hands on it, or it isn't (correct) and it doesn't serve the purpose for identification.

Letting this sort of crap run wild also affects what is considered "normal" or common privacy in other parts of the world, like the EU, it slides the window. Continuously pushing the boundaries against people watching helplessly as layer upon layer of foundations of surveillance are built. Authorities don't do much until adoption is way beyond the curve of network effect, or they do it weirdly. And by then people think it's normal or acceptable.

Already now, on countless popular sites, advertising transgresses heavily on not only guidelines but also law. Medical claims, product placement, child advertising, you name it.

Bingo. There's a huge leap from "someone endorsed or voted for Trump" to "Trump is a white nationalist". Look at Bannon as an example. If he's an antisemite -- truly -- he's going to have real problems working in an administration with Trump's observant Jewish son-in-law.
Seems to me that the DNC had really sloppy security and that many groups could have compromised their servers. If the government has proof that Russian actors did so, they do not appear to have any proof that the info was used maliciously.

The whole report, and media coverage, and statements by public officials are so confused and confusing that they are useless in regards to security.

I have to compare this to the FDA's HIPAA regulations which mostly are just instructions on how to correctly secure servers and applications. However, I wish that HIPAA did not have these regs in it because they are susceptible to falling out of date.

Rather, I think the public would be better served by an official security standard that can be updated weekly with new advice and requirements. Then an org like the FDA can have one regulation covering security that says something like "all systems must be secured according to Federal Infosec Guidelines level B3 or higher". The specifics of what B3 might mean and higher levels of securing servers and apps, can be in a single document that would, I am sure, become a core part of the curriculum for developers and system administrators.

Moaning and whining about water under the bridge is a waste of energy and of public funds. This is a fixable problem if only someone in leadership is willing to act. Not grandstand or apportion blame, but act to improve infosecurity for everyone.

A well drafted set of infosec guidelines by industry experts along with a process for keeping it up to date will have incredible multiplier effects throughout industry as well as government, because it makes it much easier for management to order that things be secured, and it makes it much easier to get a consultant to validate that the guidelines have been correctly implemented.
The author lost me very early on by making claims about inevitability. Things like the "global village of free information" are hardly inevitable - I believe it's a lot more fragile than people think. "Free" is under continual attack from IP monopolists, and "information" is under rising attack from noise injection. The easiest way to take facts away from people is to drown them in bad information.

"Global village" is under attack as well, from a rising desire for closed-nationalist societies.
Pretty much the same. I work on interesting things. And i am ALWAYS in a flow. Regarding "off days", if you have complex job, you have those very rarely. You just want to work a lot.

I am largely uninformed on this topic, so maybe you can answer a dumb question:

If ivory is in such demand to the point that it has a large black market, why aren't there more attempts to domesticate and breed elephants for ivory? It seems like with selective breeding you could eventually breed small elements (that don't eat a lot and take up too much space) that have large tusks (and produce a lot of ivory).

So then they end up with an account with 1 trips worth of miles on it, that'll rarely be worth anything at all.

Seriously? Do you have any idea how many miles you'd have to steal for that to be worthwhile. You have to pay $ to transfer miles.

>or simply changing the name attached to your own account if the system permits.

I can't think of anyone who permits this without a painful process, can you?

Yes. DB_HOST and co. are stuff you run locally on your own computer. AUTH_TOKEN means you're stuck with some external service, that will probably charge you at some point.
Yes, you could argue that in a hierarchy 50% of your time is spent with superfluous activity, like useless reports, endless meetings, and that you don't spend energy there … which you can put to good use within the network.

But this is a fallacy: if the hierarchy is your default you will never achieve your full potential working in a network organization.
Best Inspirational Quotes for New Year by World Web Technology
We are in the VOIP chat all day, but no one uses voice activation. It's all PTT (push to talk).

For some meetings we use skype or google hangouts and then it is always on. Most meetings, including our daily standup, just take place over teamspeak though.

Part of getting a good remote team is making sure everyone has all this communication software setup right and knows how to use it effectively: advice on what keys to use for PTT, what settings to use, etc.

Yes! I see it the same way.

As I developer I can only work on side-projects, if my days were mostly not code related work. On days where I was left alone and could code for 5-10 hours there is no way I'll go home to code another stretch. But I'll happily work on some physical project, or read a book.

That's applicable if you compile for 386 or a newer x86 and your compiler generates the code you expect. On AArch32 (ARM) you could use conditional MOV and on AArch64 you could use CSET. I'm sure that other architectures also have similar instructions, however it's not a guarantee that you'll end up with branchless machine code.
Yeah, I'm curious how I would feel if I went back to a normal job. Before working remotely I worked in the game industry for 10 years and I mostly loved it. But, I also really like my current remote setup.

I think a big part of it is that I started working remotely at the same time as I had kids, so now I can take off any time I want to spend time with them. I normally take a 2 hour break for eating dinner and helping with bedtime, then I'm back to work. I remember people from my office job who would say that they only see their kids for 10 minutes a day or something like that. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now that I have kids of my own with my current setup, I can't imagine only seeing them for 10 minutes a day. That just doesn't seem right.
