i like to say poor english is profound english

i was traveling in india and went to an outdoor festival with friends

there was a merchant doing mehndi

my friend got her palms decorated then i asked to get mine done

he told me it was only for women but i insisted and he begrudgingly, with a smile of disbelief, painted my palms

the next day when we checked out of our hotel there was a man standing next to the desk

he started to laugh and grabbed my hand and said, 'this is only women, not men'

i said, 'well, i like it'

and he responded, 'in india only women try to see the beautiful, men do not try to see the beautiful'

now, i knew what he meant.. only women try to 'look' beautiful stead 'see'

but 'see' was so potent i loved it

as if to say men refuse to 'see the beautiful' so women feel compelled to adorn themselves so men will think them beautiful

whereas women 'see the beautiful' in all things and as such see beauty in men without adornment

i wanted to respond, 'you're right, you are failing to see the beauty of anyone having painted palms'

but i laughed with him and said, 'exactly, i wanted to look beautiful'

I did not know about the open source definition. Is that just a guide line or does it carry some weight?

It carries the weight of the names of the people who support it. Take a look at who is involved in it. Ian Murdock, founder of Debian, is a co-founder for the OSI.

Also, is it discrimination if I give users a choice? You can use my software whoever you are, you just have to disagree with racism.

Rephrasing it doesn't change anything.
if they are expanding their business to fact checking moralistic/political claims

I'll worry about that if/when it happens. I have no difficulty distinguishing between factual and editorial content, and I generally only consult Snopes after I've done some research of my own and drawn a preliminary conclusion.
The SEC accused dev of fraud for behaving like a dev
It's that mentality that lost the election. A lot of these "red" districts used to be blue not that long ago, especially in the north and midwest.

The modern Democratic party caters so exclusively to urban elites that these people are mostly unrepresented, so they stay home on election day.

It's not so much that they voted for Trump (his numbers were worse than those of Romney and McCain even though the population is larger now), it's that they didn't vote for Clinton.
That's awesome, can you give a quick rundown here, or have you blogged about it? One question I have is around symbol resolution. Can the in memory piece of tcc compiled code see all the symbols in your program (ie the host exe) for example?
This style breaks down when you ask three distinct questions, and the boss (who's so busy he can't even form sentences) simply responds "YES". Now you're guessing. Yes to everything? Yes to only the last question? Now more E-mails are needed and nobody wants that.
Thank you for pointing that out. Not answering one's E-mail is on my list of "rude things that somehow have become acceptable". It's part of individual companies' cultures. I've worked places where people can generally be relied upon to get back to you, and places where you might as well print out the message and shred it--it's not going to be responded to. The former means your working relationship with me is going to be smooth and collaborative. The latter means I'm going to treat you like a deadbeat and come around and nag you in person.

I actually really hate being that "Hey, didja read that E-mail I sent?" guy, but if you're not responsive, I am going to have to pay you a visit. And I have no idea when you're in the zone and when you're just chilling. If you would just answer your E-mail, then you get to do it at the best time for you.

One thing I've found helpful over the years is: When you are depending on getting a response, say so. "NEED RESPONSE BY EOD TUESDAY" Make it the very first thing in the body of the E-mail, or even make it the subject of the E-mail, since some people only skim the subjects.

Another tip is to state clearly what assumption you will make about their thoughts if you do not hear back in time: "If I don't hear back by EOD, we will go forward with the proposal."

EDIT: Another good tip I forgot to mention: If your E-mail is going to multiple people, and you need one or more of them to respond or take action, type their Full Name in bold and red then ":" then the specific action the need to take and by when. This helps people who only scan their E-mails, as their name stands out.

Most of these tips are actually pretty obvious, it seems silly to even write them down.
Why not just set up phone notifications and deal with emails as they come in when you happen to use your phone? You never miss anything that way. Works great in my experience.

We should all be so lucky to "fail" the way Basecamp has: a stable, opinionated, lucrative business people fall over themselves to work for.

I'm not sure the kind of success Asana has is the kind Basecamp is gunning for.

I also don't think that Basecamp and Trello are really comparable (I've used both a lot). Trello is more straightforward and flexible, like the Microsoft Excel of project management. Basecamp is more structured and professional; I would share a project with a client on Basecamp, but never on Trello.

Basecamp and Asana seem directly comparable. Asana seems to me like the VC-backed shoot-the-moon version of Basecamp.

name-calling

I don't see any name calling.
Batteries are still a huge cost. To be truly off-grid, you need a lot of storage capacity. You could easily spend 2 to 4x as much on batteries as on PV panels right now.

The cost of batteries (or other energy storage methods) needs to go down, because PV panels on their own are just not quite good enough for residential. I'm out of the house during most or all peak hours for solar generation.

I would need one or two Tesla Powerwall 2's in order to be off-grid. I also don't have an (electric) car. If I had a car, I would need more energy storage in order to be able to charge the car at night. Though of course, electric cars might also be charged at work during the daytime, directly from PV panels
Arafat and Obama aren't military officers per se. They are the heads of their respective forces and therefore cannot be ordered by anyone to do much of anything. A naval officer is something very different than a president. But I do agree that it is awkward to give such an award to people currently heading armies.

That sounds like a bad way to live - I don't want anyone (and especially marketing nonsense, which is so much of the email that I get, despite me flagging all of it as spam) to be able to interrupt me at any time (still wish I could send all non-contact phone calls directly to voicemail).
Best distinction so far.
I think you're confusing being terse with being bad at communicating.

Original comment isn't talking about giving useless answers, they are talking about removing flowery language from emails and keeping them as short as possible while still giving enough info.
So why did you make an HN post to share a result that you admit doesn't mean anything?
Haha, I notice that too. 5000+ word article on managing one's time.
Is your time and your mental flow your own, or does it belong to miscellaneous third parties to interrupt on their terms?

Would you prefer to operate by your own priorities or theirs?
I get tons of emails from recruiters, marketers, etc. I reply to none of them, and I think it's unfair that by sending me mail that I don't want they are implicitly entitled to labor (writing a response) from me.
I disagree that my comment was uncivil and without substance. My question is honest. My provocation is meant for the soul. I am sorry for not being kind.

Perhaps you should have focused more on avoiding a false equivalence of fact-checking with journalism, as if a) Snopes were an originator of news and rumors rather than being responsive to them, and b) their popularity relied on a perception of the founders' personal integrity as opposed to a history of providing verifiable links to contrary information and narrowly reasoned argument.

Don Colacho's Epitaphs
I don't buy this line of reasoning or thinking whatsoever.

I personally think it is the eroding of national sovereignty via supranational oligarchical globalism falsely touted as utopic globalism that has created these situations in the first place via blow-back piled on blow-back over time.

Just because the British empire changed it's name to the "commonwealth" doesn't make it less of an empire. It is the meddling in the affairs of state of national governments that has created this instability, so don't try to sell me on globalism as a solution, because it's the problem.

Now, don't misunderstand me, we do need to encourage more internationally geared solutions, but only sovereign nation states can come to those agreements through diplomacy. If you erode national sovereignty like the west has been doing, it's no wonder the world is so destabalized. Of course, I have sneaking suspicion that destabalization is sorta the point, but I digress.

Nationalism:

Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation.

The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.

Aspirations for national independence in a country under foreign domination.
> Scrapping a resource for email addresses and sending unsolicited email would be understood by a lot of people as spam

We don't even want to dance the line with spam. Thanks for the feedback.

What if when you try to message a user who hasn't signed up and it opens their profile page and the user can type in the email address manually if it is available. Then we don't have to pay for mechanical turk and the user is just using ClapChat as their email client in a way. I'm convinced we can crack this nut in a way that works and doesn't bother people :)
Tiny C compiler (tcc) is really cool. I used it as a test case in my diverse double-compiling (DDC) work to counter the trusting trust attack: http://www.dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/

That just leads you down the road of discarding probabilities. Since something either happens or doesn't happen, the probability is either 100% for the things that will happen or 0% for those that do not. This is not a helpful position to take, although it is technically correct, in some not very useful sense.

Humans are good at dealing in counterfactuals. 'What would have happened if I hadn't missed the bus?' is a useful question to ask, even if you did miss the bus. What would I be like if I hadn't gone to university/had taken that job/never killed my parents? Obviously the 'I' in those questions cannot be you, exactly, since you did or didn't do those things. But it's still a useful concept or thought experiment, and can give us valuable insights.

The commenter is using 'I' in that counterfactual sense. And certainly, I understood what they meant by it, so they were successful in communicating (at least, to me) which is what matters with language.
Everyone seems to think this was inevitable. Where did Cyanogen go wrong?
The problem with social networks is that you have to get your real friends to play along too, and that may be very difficult and time consuming. If you plan to add some random 'fake' friends, you'll very quickly become part of the spam/porn cliques, and your account will be flagged as such and very likely deactivated.

Hmmm, it really depends on the company.

Many newer energy companies have recognized that software is a profit center. Something like half of solar leads are referrals from existing solar customers, so there's a ton of effort put into good customer experience (pre and post installation) to drive more referrals.

Also, many firms are wanting to offer grid services (demand response, load smoothing, etc.) back to the grid, which also is potential profit driven by software. I think you'd be surprised at how much importance is placed at the larger firms on software.

Also, for smaller shops that can't afford their own programmers, there's vendors who sell the software to do all the analysis, financing, engineering, etc. Those cleantech software vendors obviously see software as the profit center (my startup is one such example). And solar is like HVAC in that there's thousands and thousands of smaller local shops in addition to the half-dozen nation brands, so lots of customers for SaaS providers.
Yeah. Humans will not. That's why we have the Perimeter (15Э601). Dead hand retaliatory nuclear strike system. Not that I'm proud of it or anything, but this system exists.
Hi sytes. Thanks so much for this. I was active on the thread trying to get it added to CE, and it makes a big difference.

One thing GL is still missing in its licensing model is a good story for my usecase. I run a GL install that's open to the public so users can report bugs in my software, but there are only 2 real "internal" users. I picked up 50 "users" last month, who just made an issue or two and drove away.

The current model forces me to choose either CE (no paid features for anyone) or EE ($1950/mo). That is what drives some of the disconnect on features like Pages, I'm not going to pay five figures a year for no matter what's in EE.

But if I could pay $300 a year, and get either some paid features, or paid features for some users, that would be pretty easy. Then there is something to do in this situation besides complain that everything isn't free, and creates more opportunities to get invested into GitLab.

As long as there's a $25,000 gap between price tiers you will have these cases where people are flamewarring about whether some feature makes it into CE.

I've never actually achieved Zero Inbox, but I'm pretty close. One thing that helps is to create meaningful, actionable folders for your E-mails. I have these:

Urgent: Follow-up today in person
Follow-up today by E-mail
Follow-up this week
Waiting for non-urgent response
Hound (for people who take constant babysitting, I'll send request daily until it's responded to)
Watch (if thread is replied to, I'll need to be on it)
Archive (all resolved items)
Ignored (no interest to me and no response needed)

I've got a few others but these are the ones I use the most. My workflow is to skim my new messages. Reply to the ones that can be quickly addressed, and file the rest into these folders to be reviewed at an appropriate time (generally by EOD).

I try to address all questions to me by EOD before I let myself go home. Because I don't like That Guy Who Doesn't Respond To E-mails, I try to set a good example and not be that guy.

Could you elaborate please? To me, music is entirely a subjective aesthetic experience which leverages our shared history to elicit certain emotional responses. I view mathematics as the opposite of that, being objective, where everything is derived from explicitly stated axioms.

I can understand if you say that music (in general, or at least in the west) conforms to a system of patterns and relationships, but I question whether those patterns and relationships are integral to the experience of music. I suspect that they are more a result of our expectations than a fundamental property of music.

Just in case this is helpful: PTSD isn't simply the painful experience of trauma, which, you're right, most of us experience. PTSD is a reaction to trauma that is so intense it distorts cognition and triggers physical symptoms. The disruption of thought processes, even in moderate cases, can be so significant it's experienced as something like catatonia, or as a manic fight-or-flight response that can lead to suicidality. It's a condition you want to take very seriously.

Sorry, due to formatting bug I overlooked this.

Can you show me example of such a modern compiler? I suspect that you mean some C++ compiler, and they probably do, they would `miscompile' my example, because they treat struct in a matter similar to a class with vtable and all other stuff. But we are speaking about C, not C++. But if I'm mistaken with my suggestions, I'd like to know about modern compiler of C which prove me wrong. Such a proof can help me to understand modern C much better.
There are only so many hours in the day, and only so many resources available for the cause. You've got to pick your battles. Their bathroom struggle is noise compared to the mayhem we are causing at home and abroad.

Just a few examples:

> Locking people up for minor offenses and not giving them an adequate defense or a speedy trial.

> A healthcare system that costs almost double that of its western european counterpart, but with spotty coverage and poorer outcomes--effect being that common injuries and illnesses can be financially devastating, even to the insured.

> Once vibrant manufacuring towns up and down the Mississippi that have been gutted by free trade with China, soon to be buried by AI.

> Couldn't there be a new phenomenon at which forces act at a larger or more distant scale on other masses, similar to gravity?

Gravity doesn't act at large distance. If you have a star like the Sun, it modifies the gravitational field locally. The modifications travel for a while and when the modification hits a planet like the Earth it applies a force to the Earth and modifies it's direction. The modifications are like the gravitational waves that have been recently measured. They travel at the speed of light.

If you have a force that can truly act at distance, you can use it to transmit information faster than light and it will break special relativity.
