Turbo Pascal was my first experience in structured programming languages (and a slick IDE to boot!).

The affordability of all the Turbo branded language products (and the excellent printed documentation that came with them) that were made available to me as child by my parents are on the primary reasons I have such a love for technology and why I am in software development today.

It's really a shame that modern programming platforms don't capture some of that same ease of use for experimentation. :(
It is juvenile, and hurts the project. Too bad because it is pretty cool.

Actually no, there is currently no alternate project to HDFS. The only comparable compatible platform for the ecosystem is MapR-FS which is closed source. Kudu is an interesting experiment, c++ introduces a level of memory management and performance in a space where the JVM typically falls down.

Really nice to see a Z80-project :) I'm actually finishing my own Z80 microcomputer this weekend. But mine will utilize a symphony of exotic 7400 series chips and hard-to-get Z80 peripheral chips. All ceramic ones. So if anyone wants to build their own, it will cost several hundreds of dollars :-/. But the idea with the project was to learn how computers where built in the early 80s, not to do a modern approach, like you :-)

Fun name, by the way. Mine will be named Calculon80 or Calculon64 :-D

Ask HN: Which password manager do you use?
I tested 1password which looks awesome, works perfectly, but I think in comparison to other cloud services (Netflix, Spotify, GitHub) they are relatively expensive. I definitely would prefer paying a one-time fee. I could also host a sync server on my own if there is some free software.

I tried LastPass but auto-filling has to be disabled for every single page which is really annoying. Besides, I don't like the button they are injecting. Compared to 1password the UX is really bad.

Can someone recommend a good password manager which works with Safari / Chrome / Firefox and iOS?
I've had 80 bosses. 77 of them sucked. I would march through hell to help the other 3 get something done. For me that pretty much sums it up. All the rest is fluff.

FWIW, OP's 3 metrics:

1. Clarity of Thought and Communication
2. Judgment about People
3. Personal Integrity and Commitment

Those should be necessary but not sufficient characteristics of every person in your organization.

EDIT, response to walterbell & el_benharneen about what made the 3 different (in no particular order):

- They always told the truth (to everybody).
- They knew their stuff (tech, system, user domain).
- They figured out the right thing to do.
- They communicated often and flawlessly.
- They did whatever it took to get the right thing done.
- They smiled almost all the time.
- They made each other person feel special.
- They made work fun.
- They were always teaching something.
- They called bullshit instantly.
- They protected their team.
- They inspired us by showing how good things could be.

> You say "or" but it can be "and". Best is to be an expert in one, "and" having a jack of all trades experience.

Whether that is possible depends on the definition of "mastery" that you use, and how broadly you construe "all".

TL/DR: Even generalists have become much more specialized over time.

Consider that "web design" circa 1996 used to include project management, end-to-end development, PR, search engine placement, graphic design, copy writing/editing, information architecture, browser testing, server administration, domain registration, email configuration, etcetera, etcetera.

Over the past two decades, these tasks and many more besides have swollen to bursting, splitting into entire subdisciplines (some of which have endured, others not so much) and in some cases re-merging into new hybrids.

There is no way for anyone to maintain more than passing familiarity, much less competency, with every aspect of building and launching a non-trivial website (much less a web application). At best, we'll wing it on personal projects, or even skip major .

These days, what passes for a generalist is the "full-stack developer", which pretty much leaves off everything that doesn't have to do with code, or outsources tasks like design to 3rd-party services (eg. Netlify), libraries (eg. Bootstrap), themes, and so on.

I expect this trend to continue and even accelerate, so don't drive yourself nuts trying to keep up with the developments across everything you do today. I guarantee that whatever you consider to be the set of skills a generalist should understand now, it will get narrower over time (but not shorter), and we will have as many kinds of generalist as there are specialists today.

I am pretty sure that the "serverless" trend will lead to a new breed of "middleware developer" that works on various sorts of smart caching proxies, for example.

My advice is to try and be strategic in the things you drop and no longer keep up with, and keep the things that you do maintain competencies in adjacent to each other and to one or two main areas of expertise.

Being a boss and being a leader are two very different things.

That may seem obvious to those that understand it, those that don't will think I'm nuts. As a scrum master I have been a leader at every company where I have worked. I have never had anyone report to me in those same companies, aka not a boss.
Its my impression that bitswap was chosen/made, to have an easier time making "trading strategies" with other peers.

BitTorrent would for that purpose be harder to modify, and claim backwards-compatibility, so I think they went all-in, and bitswap - with pluggable "trading strategies", ie how to decide which peer to share with and how much - how to avoid free-leach and so on. There was a mention of combining ipfs with filecoin - bitswap would make that integration easier.

Years ago we had a board meeting, me being a youngish co-founder. We were talking about founder titles. I remember forever Esther Dyson as an investor and board member telling me then, that the titles do not mean much. You can be a great leader inside your company without any titles or official role - this is what you should aspire for. And you can be a CEO/CXO/VP without being a leader at all.
Using stuff like Here Maps, Apple Maps (and probably Google Maps too) when driving around Argentina is a real laugh.

with four leaders that I consider extraordinary: Ed

All four of these guys were involved in wage-fixing, which cost their companies $415 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

So, "extraordinary" in the sense of being extraordinarily unprofitable.

I've never bought into the transitioning into a woman more so it's great PR to get his story and plight out there; help get him released .. looks like it worked.

Before you downvote me think about fake news... fake online dating profiles....all having their own agendas... you think Manning and his team didn't have an agenda and do everything in their power to help free him?

Also in 2013 the whole transitioning thing was a hot social topic and all progressives were embracing it. Did him and his team jump on this movement/exploit it to get him released... personally I question a lot of what i see and read and again I think his transition was a really good move to keep him in the public eye especially in 2013
This response always drives me crazy. The "well why don't you make something better" has to stop.

My experience after over 35 years of hardcore gaming (since I first saw pong).

Largely, video games are about linear optimizations with multiple complex variables in a highly dynamic (borderline chaotic) environment. This approaches the complexity of day to day life, as many people can understand their situation in life. Unlike life, there are known bounds for most games or it takes a finite amount of time to explore these bounds to sufficient understanding to progress in some metric (usually winning ratio, but also APM or K/D ratio).

Frustration is largely a result of RNG punishment (that can FAIL? Why did my mats disappear after my 4 hours of grinding? etc) or participation failure (there were 3 of you and you couldn't handle 1?) or mechanics failure (imba <mechanic> just wrecks everyone) which includes nerfing a mechanic a player relies on. Every now and then you will also see player frustration related to a lack of dextrous skill (bullet hell shooters, fps games, rts apm, etc) or understanding (this game's <x> is just broken! - even though the game is founded around that mechanic being the strongest - i.e. Chess/Queen, Counter Strike/CT pistols > glock).

Like text puzzles or mindgames, video games allow for people to constantly develop strategies and exercise them for a complexity level that is uncommon in human experience. In group settings, the gamers generally come up with solutions to problems (of various quality) quickly and decisively, then will later discuss deeper strategy. Video game trial-and-error trains for that kind of approach and lots of playtime tends to treat indecisiveness as disadvantageous.

Does it make you smarter? Not that I have seen. Does it make you faster? Yes, it trains you to optimize your reaction time at a moment's notice and there is a dopamine feedback loop, even if you are a poor performer. Does it help you long-term in staving off cognitive decline? Probably not directly, but there was a study about constantly challenging your mind to combat decline, iirc.

Those are my thoughts.
Oh, I think the car would be able to learn your social media accounts after a while, just looking for any geotagged posts that tend to match the car's position
I said something similar in a reply below, but I find it interesting that this amounts to a .Gov-wide decision that availability is always less important than confidentiality and integrity.

While that's probably valid in the main, is that always true? FEMA/NOAA spring to mind. As does IRS guidance, especially since those documents should have digital signatures themselves for an additional layer of integrity.

Was this idea part of the discussion?
That really looks like a terribly small dataset on the "before autosteer" side. According to footnote 21, we are looking exclusively at the sum of miles Teslas had on the clock when someone paid for the post-factory activation. Due to the growth of Tesla sales, that set is likely biased quite a bit towards younger cars with few miles at time of update availability. Tens of millions of miles might sound impressive for a statistical base, but tens of airbag activations does not.

At least they did not compare "all Teslas" vs "Teslas with Autopilot Technology Package checkbox checked", since that would select for drivers who do a lot of miles in boring long distance driving. That kind of driving happens to be the one where any car has an "airbag mileage" far above average, so it would be just natural that they have a lower crash rate, autosteer or not.

But a part of that effect might still be present in the numbers if customers are less likely to pay for a post-factory update than while ordering the car (which I do suspect). If this holds, then the subset of drivers who activated post factory (with miles already on the clock, so that this part of their car usage appears in the "before autosteer" column) will have, on average, a bigger desire for autosteer (and more naturally safe long distance cruising in their driving patterns) than the average of those who got the car with the option factory-activated (and who thus appear only in the "after autosteer" column).

Edit: oh, and here's the really big one: the "before autosteer" number only includes cars that where upgraded. How is this important? All airbag activations that happened in an event that messed up the car beyond repair cannot appear in the "before update" dataset, because nobody spends thousands of dollars on an autopilot update for a car wreck.

[edit 2]: This should actually make the "before" number much better than the "after" number, so i really wonder what's going on here.

I think its disgusting how CHILDREN are indoctrinated into the military. The picture alone of this kids in military uniforms give me the creeps.

War is a racket (read that book). I have not read the entire article but read the comment

"The arguments in this open as to why we shouldn't like Chelsea Manning was that she misunderstood social cues, didn't respond well eating a whole meal within 2 minutes and 45 seconds, and complained she couldn't do it about a few of the idiotic exercises you are asked to do.

Yeah no shit... military training is ridiculous. I think a lot of us have enough sense to not ever join."

and the answer that claims "I recommend reading the entire thing. The article is not trying to pitch the audience against Manning, just that the currently popular image of Manning is incomplete."

From what I read this is a stupid piece trying to make him/her look bad. To he/she is a hero because actions matter to me and by actions I do not care what ever the fuck of meaningless shit he/she did or did not do in her stupid ass military training from some guy who thinks he is something better because he follows every order and does everything exactly how he is told without questioning. And from the little I read is exactly what this is about.

You're pontificating too much on test scores when that's only part of it. Standards are generally lower for black and Hispanic applicants - they don't just receive a test score handicap. Also, they get much of this advantage regardless of the quality of their home life and previous schools.

> Actually, that review just underscores a problem I have with modern design, which is a focus on aesthetic elegance and cleverness over real usability concerns.

As a full-time designer who graduated from a fine arts college (read: least-user focused possible), this is completely false regarding what I and all my peers do.

Designers don't set out to be "clever" – we're not programmers, after all. We set out to solve a ritual problem of meaningfully conveying ideas and messages to a target audience, wide or narrow. The reasoning is pretty simple.

Readability (different from legibility) is an incredibly important part of designing with type, and your lede basically invalidated all else you have to say, especially as followed by "I love design."
I find it interesting that Bloomberg gets all hyped out about the consequences of Outer Space events that may eventually happen and we do not have any way to prevent, but cheerfully ignores the consequences, - and the very tangible costs, - of Climate Change here on Earth.

Oh, wait. Nevermind... I get it now.
Another option to check out is Couchbase Mobile. Open source, self-hosted database with full offline functionality and a solid sync solution.

I think Firebase is pretty amazing. Have been a fan since I met some of the team (I think it was at the 2011 Launch conference). Like anything, though, there are tradeoffs.

Briefly, I'd say that there's overlap, with Couchbase Mobile tending to shine toward the more complex end (including making the 10% much easier), and also being extremely easy to use as a substitute for SQLite/Core.

(I work for Couchbase.)
Good points!

That post does not say "don't use typedefs there's no real reason." It says "don't use typedefs without a real reason." Linus even provides a few examples of good uses of typedefs.

Specifically he's talking about typedef'ing structs to a named type to hide that it's a struct. That's different from typedef'ing a function pointer so that you don't need to be a C parsing expert to read the code.
