> My vague understanding of a turbine was that it was a spinning magnet, so if you killed the circuit it would just... spin, I guess.

The load in the circuit acts as a brake. If you kill the circuit, the turbine spins faster and faster until it breaks into pieces. To prevent that, the control systems stop the water from flowing into the turbine, but stopping the water from draining is the opposite of what they want.

> One could just as easily say that the members of control groups (who do not receive cash) would have a reason to underreport their spending on things that are not approved of in order to receive more potential money in the future

This apparently happening with control groups in the same villages as cash transfer recipients is actually some of the most persuasive evidence response biases exist in the surveys. According to various RCTs, when their neighbours start getting money, women are less likely to report their husbands beating them. On the other hand, they're also less likely to report being satisfied with their life. There are [just about] plausible mechanisms for how spillover effects from donations could cause those behavioural/satisfaction changes amongst non-recipients in a neighbourhood, but recipients thought they were less likely to receive money if they reported domestic violence or said they were satisfied with their life is the most Ockham's-razor satisfying one. (It's also likely part of the reason why recipients seem surprisingly unlikely to report increased satisfaction from life after receiving life-changing sums despite positive changes in almost every measurable area.)

Response biases are difficult enough to eliminate in social science surveys when participants have no reason to suspect a sum greater than their average annual income may hinge on their answers.

You can also try to immigrate to another country, Berlin, Brno and Amsterdam are (among other cities in Europe) full of startups actively looking for skillful engineers and because of the benefits for foreign skilled workers the company and the candidate receives tax exceptions and other things that makes the process more appealing to some people.

The only problem that I see is that you are a "self-taught" programmer, right? Many companies prefer people with an university degree because that is the easiest way for them to demonstrate that the candidate knows at least the basis of computer science, same thing with the embassies, they do not have time to assess if the applicant is actually a skilled worker or not, so the university degree is definitely a must. With 18 years of work experience you might apply as an "Experienced" developer and maybe you can skip the "university degree check" but is still a bit harder than if you had one.

The way I understood the Clojure's standard library is that for many things (such as string manipulation) you have to fall back on Java libraries. And Java standard string libraries are AFAIK terrible compared to Python (again, no shame here).
transcoding or video editing in slices is a common application.

Unfortunately, in a lot of states in the US, there is a huge gap in minimum wages. $7.25 per hour for normal jobs, yet it is only $2.13 for tipped workers. For the lower end, this usually means that their paycheck goes mostly to taxes and their entire living money comes from tips.

Legally, the employer is supposed to ensure that the wages plus tips equal out to the $7.25 per hour. Legally, they are paying minimum wage. We need the laws changed to fix this issue, but the government doesn't seem primed to make these sorts of changes.

As far as why some jobs attract a tip and others don't, I think it has to do with a combination of custom and what sort of work one does: On top of this, some service sector employers prohibit employees from taking gifts or tips from customers (retail, for example, generally prohibits this and you can get fired for accepting). This obviously has an impact on the norms.

It is very usable for editing photos. When I used to use it (a few versions ago), there were a few issues with library management, so I switched to Lightroom. Lightroom's workflow seems more "integrated", but I think Darktable has more photo-editing features. I would definitely recommend taking it for a spin.

Perhaps the best of both worlds -- spacemacs from the get-go?

Personally I don't like these Emacs distributions so I might recommend the way I did my journey: first vim for years, then emacs+evil. You'll learn the bare emacs basics on the side. Now with Vim 8 having vastly enhanced IPC capabilities, Emacs might not be at such an advantage anymore. The amount of Vim users is staggering, and they have such energy. It's a nice community overall. (Not that Emacsers would be any worse.)

Show HN: Deepnest.io – faster, better laser cuts through computational geometry
a year ago I made an open source nesting program http://svgnest.com (previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10913789)
it's pretty handy if you have a CNC machine or laser cutter, but it's mostly used by hobbyists.

this year I decided to add some features and try to compete with the established companies in the space. Compared with SVGnest, Deepnest has:

- a much faster nesting engine, written in C++

- a bunch of new features (line merging, holes in sheets, dxf/corel support etc)

check it out and let me know what you think. There is a writeup on the technical details on github: https://github.com/Jack000/SVGnest
Well if the official stance is that there is no problem then why should they do that?
Right. That's what other students tell me.
> Presumably it A) benefits the worker, since they make extra if they provide good service, B) benefits the employer, because the worker is motivated to provide good service, and C) the service level is highly visible to the customer, who they interact closely with.
I tip my hair cutter, but not my car mechanic, mostly due to C, I guess.

Interesting you should mention. I've seen evidence where this was tested in a local consumer right program. Someone would disconnect their spark plug, and then act as if they're an innocent driver who's car is broken. Or a piece of rubber of < 5 EUR was removed. Some car technicians were honest (mostly those who were part of trade organisation BOVAG), don't get me wrong. But some also deceived/lied about the problem, and made the customer pay insane prices to fix a simple problem. They also tested if technicians would fix an additional, obvious problem. One even fixed the problem, but made something else worse. In short, I'm not going to assume anymore that car technicians are honestly going to fix all the problems my car has.

But part of the problem is that the tipping-culture already VERY quickly corrects that problem.

Restaurants generally over-staff, and tend to get really cutthroat about who stays and who gos when it's needed. A place I worked when I was younger would regularly take the lowest performer off of saturday nights every saturday night.

The ones who aren't making a huge amount of money on the busy nights are already removed from it before they can even think to complain about it.

And it was a very "open secret" that if the restaurant needed to "supplement" your wage for ANY reason, you were going to be gone the next week. I saw it happen many times. So it was somewhat common for the wait staff to "pad" their own wages with tips if they had a bad week.

So now you get the situation that everyone involved wants to keep tipping.

* Well-performing waiters want to keep tipping as they make a lot of money, not tips means a huge pay-cut.

* Under-performing waiters want to keep tipping because they know the second the restaurant needs to pay their wage, they will be the first to go. So it's either keep their low-paying job, or have no job.
I didn't know that. I will take a look at Emacs, definitely.
You can cook your own food, cut your own hair, park your own cars, and so on. Instead, you are paying another human to do these things for you, sometimes waiting on you in the process. Most of the things we tip for we can go without.

How are these not luxury services?
A lot of effort has gone into the documentation of GNU Parallel: Intro videos, a one hour tutorial, tons of examples, a man page on the design decisions behind the code, and even a "Reader's guide" in the man-page.

Can you be a bit more specific why you believe it is a "brick-wall-in-your-face"? Did you follow the "Reader's guide", which is before even the first option is introduced?
20% is also a big part of the bill, and if you go out everything is overpriced already.
I think you were right about the catch 22 thing, which is the core problem that this article misses. Uber doesn't have tipping but don't you rate your rides in a way that can ultimately reduce the amount of work that driver gets? It has the punishment inverse of tipping.

I've seen firsthand how difficult and time-consuming the buildout is of Google and AT&T fiber is in Atlanta. Idle fiber runs just 100 yards from my house, where it's been sitting for months. Just for this single run it's required dozens of people, traffic permits, closed roads, sidewalk repair, new access panels embedded in sidewalk, let alone pulling the fiber itself.

At the phone poles there are large devices (repeaters?) and I assume more equipment at the nearest colo.

This is all on a street that already had a lot of infrastructure and easy access. I haven't seen a single run through people's backyards in a hilly, densely populated neighborhood. It's going to be difficult.

I'm in awe of what this woman and others like her have done.

While it certainly could be done it would probably be a subset of the API because of security.

Ask HN: What do you think of NoFap?
I'm talking more about NoFap as the process of recovering from porn addiction by abstaining from masturbation. You can read more about it here: https://www.nofap.com/about/

What interests me specifically is if you know any highly successful people (in all fields: business, dating, family, etc) that abstain from masturbation (or if you are one of them).

Did they experience any benefits that helped them in their life and career? Would you recommend it to young adults in their 20s?
The options section is no doubt for people, who know the tool. But the huge section with examples is not.

Did you read the "Reader's guide" which is presented before the first option in the man page?
I have long since lost the link, but I think it actually improves customer experience and improves the job atmosphere, leaving people less stressed. This is mostly because servers now share duties.

You say there is no reason to put in extra effort: I disagree. This doesn't seem to be a problem at other jobs. Some people simply try more or put in the extra effort. They also generally enjoy better chances for promotion, good references, and so on.

Do you have a source for that? I once asked a captain of a 14.000+ TEU vessel if they really only needed the minimum amount of crew. According to him theory and practice are vastly different. Meaning: a news article explaining that a vessel can be run with X amount of people doesn't mean there are only X amount of people on board.

Secondly, there's all kinds of regulations. A container vessel is operated 24/7. If 7 is the amount of people working on it at a time, in practice the crew will be twice that.

In any case, your response lacks a lot. The person you replied to talked about big boat shipping and how it is not going to be automated any time soon. You only account for the crew on a vessel. There's the customers (loads of which still like to send a fax), lots of outdated governments, outdated vendors, other companies, etc.

Hi!

Lots of good advice already given out here. But I would like to add some of my own view points

About me : 23, ex-WalmartLabs, currently working on my own startup.

There are many ways to become a software developer, it all depends on what kind of role you're aiming for.

- Software Developer (SDE)

Typically the job offered to most young grads at the bigs cos (google/linkedin/walmart etc). They want to test your algorithm and programming skills. Check out [0], [1], [2] . It should take you 1-2 months to go over most of this stuff and several more to get really good. Start applying once you have a grasp of the basic principles, perfection only comes with practice.

If you're serious about such roles, I recommend spending at least 3-4 hours a day doing these problems.

- Technology specialist roles (IOS/Android/Node/Python/PHP etc)

These also require some programming knowledge. Use the above resources and at least do the basic Data Structure questions. Apart from that, showcase your projects, contribute to other libraries and/or roll out your own.

- Devops

Another cool field to get into. I am not well versed with the requirements myself but AFAIK, you need lesser DS and algo skills here and more tech domain knowledge.

- Freelance/Consulting

Just keep doing what you're doing right now. Find some consulting firm to market your skills for you. The monthly HN thread might be a good way to find leads/contacts. Can also consider bidding for projects on upwork/freelancer/others.

=========

All in all, only thing I can say is that there's no need to be disappointed. You will get a job. You just need to prepare with a proper plan.

0 - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org (Recommended at least basic linked list, trees, arrays, graphs and greedy algo questions)

1 - http://www.leetcode.com (Do all these questions)

2 - http://www.spoj.com (can also use topcoder for this. Use this to level up your skills and land the high paying jobs )
That's very true, although I would say that mastering an IDE must be way easier than mastering, say, Emacs or Vim.
ping :) Yes, I am very interested in your offer, sorry for the delay, holidays got to me! on the spot i didn't have the nerve to ask, and i took it as a politeness formula, but if indeed this is a activity you enjoy do help me :) ill be thrilled!
I assume they use this excuse to show the price as the lowest possible and its not the actual reason any more.
Worse still, tipping is merely a way of keeping class hierarchies, and it's disgusting.

When a person walks into a restaurant in the USA they can waive a $20 bill at a waitperson and say if you do what I want, and if I like you, and if I'm feeling generous, I might give you some of this.

Of course, they might not too.

Labor laws, minimum wage, etc are all there to make this illegal in a work contract, and it should be illegal for tipping too because it's gross.

...Australian places work around the higher minimum wages through self service and I've been to a few places now that have touchscreen ordering (McDonalds, some yum cha places). Expect to see more of that to reduce labor costs.

Agreed. 4chan is a nice antidote to all the karma whoring and gaming of Reddit.
Just be aware that Stderr will contain stuff you did not ask for: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/man.html#DIFFERENCES-B...

The syntax difference is small for simple tasks.
That's absurd. I could make an even more valid argument that employees should be aiming for perfection in their work, regardless of the incentive of a tip. In Japan, no one tips, and customer service is better than anywhere else on earth. Dangling money on a stick is a loser's game. Winners have pride in their work.
Yeah, but I think it's pretty safe to assume that if you are asking _that_ question is because you probably need to learn CSS first...

I know CSS pretty well and Bootstrap versions are no longer an important concern to me (I can pick up either just by looking at the docs).

Because it's exactly the same thing.
Thank you very much for your answer. I believe I will follow your advice.
> In private, some Iraqis pose conspiracy theories. “I know a lot of Iraqis who think this is just a big psyops operation by the U.S. government—senior officials, not just Iraqis on the street,”

Of course. When a foreign army invade your country, then proceed to criticize your infrastructure, they make themselves difficult to listen to. Even if they are right. If Iraqis had concerns wouldn't they involved third party inspections from non-American firms?
