> The world just isn't willing to wait, and it's not willing to take the time to understand a system and to see how clearly it distinguishes itself from the alternatives.

This world is always willing to wait, it was the RethinkDB team and/or their investors who weren't. The world will wait for you in eternity; it's just not willing to provide you with capital during the wait.

Your statement makes sense if there were a dozen competitors in the database space. With hundreds of competitors, actually evaluating them all becomes more expensive than just choosing eg. a managed SQL solution and then switching provider if it doesn't live up to its promises.

That's so much more flexible from a business perspective than evaluating a hundred different open source database systems, settling on one, and then having to rewrite your database code when the database you've chosen ceases development, and you're left as the maintainer of it.

If it's the same thing I can do, it's very useful. I can "pop" my ears voluntarily, which is nice when freediving.
Absolutely! I definitely feel for the plight of those making <$80k or so here. But if you make more than that, I can't bring myself to have too much sympathy. You can afford a 2br apartment, to max your 401k, to feed and clothe yourself, and to take a few decent vacations a year, which is more than most Americans get.

Separate bedrooms are not a human right, especially for children. Hell, my brothers and I slept in the same room for a long time even after our parents were able to afford a house with extra rooms.

Re:LSD, you are making medical claims and recommendations with zero stated medical background. Someone following your advice could become permanently psychologically disabled.

Happens to me all the time and it's annoying (especially when driving). Triggers every time when going outside and sun is shinning. On the bright side, after 2-3 sneezes it goes away.
How does it not justify it? Deaths that already happen vs quite real damage that you cause in the future?
what does "feeling female" mean?
> Is everyone here forgetting the millions given by foreign nations??

Not terribly, since we can see where a lot of it went and we're not terribly upset with the outcomes?

> The outright collusion with media?

Yeah emails that emails went emails really emails well emails, right emails?

> The lack of sensitivity to LGBT rights?

Clinton has a mixed track record on LGBT rights, but I trust her infinitely more than I do Trump, because her recent track record is much better. If you think she'd get a free pass for screwing over the community, you're dead wrong.

> The fact that they never discussed how to actually solve the Nation's problems, only worked on crafting a message to the public, and having "public and private" policies?

It.. uh... was an election campaign, dude. They're talking about being elected. But also, there ARE a ton of emails in there talking about the policy messaging. Mostly how to frame it to different people, as framing matters.

> The family connections to Russia that everyone conveniently ignores lately?

If Russian connections were a problem Trump would be forced to step down in favor of Pence, now wouldn't he?

> Or most chilling of all, the cryptic codespeak used in several emails?

Did you use your pizzagate decoder ring to figure out where they hid the girls yet?
Leverage does the same because the counter-party wouldn't be able to tell the difference on whether you used your own or borrowed bitcoin and hence the effect is the same.

Ask HN: What would make you want to work for a non-profit as an engineer?
I am the tech lead at a London-based non-profit agency in human rights abuse, conflicts and the effects of war. We are producing complex visual tools for analysis and documentation of high-profile cases. I am personally really excited and happy to be working for the agency. The team is growing and I am looking to hire devs in the next few months, but we can't pay anywhere near what tech companies pay or offer benefits like they do. I can offer the team enthusiasm and the reality of what we are accomplishing (which is why I'm there).

How can I convince talented engineers that this kind of work is important and worth doing?
When you go around doing reprehensible things, you deserve humiliation and embarrasment.

More over, if some of those reprehensible things you did, you happen to have done to your own allies, it means they are entitled to have second thoughts about whether they will want to continue aligning their interest to yours, or if they should be more assertive in the future to compensate for the cost of doing business with you.

So, you can keep shooting at the messanger all you want, but any bad outcomes comming out of this, you brought to yourselves.
No, you're right. Nothing about this blog post/resume inspires confidence.

I don't see how confirmations come into it. To arbitrage between exchanges, you own some bitcoins and dollars (or other national currency) in both exchanges. Then when an arbitrage opportunity arrives, you sell on the high one and buy on the low one. If long term your accounts are unbalanced, you can withdraw/deposit, but speed isn't required for that.
Equivocation of all non-conforming gender identities as a mental malady to be treated is such a Victorian era christian philosophy.

Microsoft gets a lot of shit for various and mostly good reasons. But their tooling is seriously top notch. I would murder kittens to get tools like SSMS for postgres.

Hell Python Tools for Visual Studio almost makes me want to do python dev work on a PC.
A hosted distributed SQL-ish database running on Joyent would be amazing! I checked the available packages on Joyent cloud many times not quite believing RethinkDB _wasn't_ on the list as it seemed such a great fit. Fast native containers with RethinkDB's shardibg support would have been fun to have "precanned" support for.

Currently the pre-packaged databases on Joyent don't support both clustering and consistency. Is there anything in the works for this segment?!
In certain industries, it's said a company is made up of three types of staff - finders, minders, and grinders.

It's a pretty simple exercise to map this to the three machines.

You know, there may be a serious upside to living in the valley as a software developer if you stay there long enough. You're right about salaries in the Midwest never reaching that high.

I'm not a developer, but it seems like it's a good gig if you've been there for a number of years. It seems like it would be difficult to get by for non-tech workers, either requiring a really long commute for a somewhat reasonable rent/mortgage or putting a huge percent of take-home pay into housing.

Roughly how many years would it take to get to senior engineer or staff engineer?
Genetic analysis of idiocracy
Mine is from back when I was a sysadmin at the local computer club. We had two Unix machines (a VAX 11/750 and a DECstation of some model). We had a set of terminals connected to the VAX and people were using the DECstation by connecting to it using telnet (this was before ssh).

What happened was that one morning when people were logging in to the DECstation they noticed that things didn't quite work. Pretty much everything they normally did (like running Emacs, compiling things, etc) worked, but other, slightly more rare things just didn't work. The binaries seemed to be missing. It was all very strange.

We spent some time looking into it and finally we figured out what had happened. During some mantenance, the root directory of the DECstation had been NFS-mounted to the VAX, and the mount point was under /tmp. I don't remember who did it, but it's not unlikely that it was me. During the night, the /tmp cleanup script had run on the VAX which deleted all files that had an atime (last access time) of more than 5 days. This meant that all files the DECstation needed to run, and all the files that were used during normal operation were still there, but anything slightly less common had been deleted.

This obviously taught me some lessons, such as never mount anything under /tmp, never NFS mount the root directory of anything and never NFS mount anything with root write permissions. The most important thing about sysadmin disasters are that you learn something from them.

What is the size of your current company? Has the OKR setup been difficult. That is, did everybody wrote their OKRs?

I think in OKR speak, individual tasks can be in your OKR as well, it just won't be aligned with any team/company vision. If it is really important day to day tasks, then it might make sense to be in your OKR.

OKRs can be a great shortcut; in your example, it seems that the quantifiable key results set should be according to the ability/expectation of the employees (which is a guesswork) in order to be fair.

For companies adopting OKR, they would have to be aware that
the other benefits (transparency, pushing employee's capability, etc) comes first over easy employee evaluation.
Great article! While the company's methods is arguably on the edge of playing dirty, I think the line hasn't been crossed; all of us are just trying to do our best in this world, and those with the best hustle win. I think this company's method is a good example of someone thinking outside the box to get new customers, and I respect that.

From the customers point of view, their methods is probably really useful too- if I was paying for something, I'd want to make sure that I'm getting the best product my money can buy. I don't necessarily care WHO it is I'm paying, as long as the end product I get is the best value. So honestly it would be a "spam" email I'd be glad to receive!

Thanks for sharing!
With some things you can get a hash of an iso from the true source and compares that to the downloaded iso
I think it's a different generation. Companies don't invest in people, people don't stay long term in companies. You can also get big pay jumps early in your career - spending 2+ years in your first company is just pouring money down the drain.

I'm kind of in this position. My first job out of university was a 3 month contract, then I had a 9 month "permanent" position which ended when they closed the office, then two back to back contracts at the same place spanning 12 months, and now another permanent position which I am 6 months into. Before this most recent position I had the most interest of potential employers to date.

I suspect you are right in one sense - as you get further into your career the length of time you stay in positions should be longer, or you should move into contracting. I certainly plan on staying at my current position for at least 24 months. But I feel like 5 and 10 year tenures will start to be the exception rather than the norm.

I developed and use(d) pgxplorer (github.com/pgxplorer). So, I can tell you this: the best out there is psql (CLI). There exists no use case where a GUI is better than psql.
Maybe so, but how many of them stay that way? How many of them are startups? How many become less successful because of it?

My guess is that this is especially dangerous for startups. Think about it, you're a founder and you've been told "No" by investors, experts, customers, thousands of times. Now all of a sudden you've proved them all wrong, you've built a business and it's starting to show promise.

But to scale, you're going to need some of those experts who told you "No". If you're building a car, you're gonna need to hire some people that have run a car factory or managed a complex supply chain. You're gonna need to trust them when they tell you, "I need 6 months, 3 months isn't doable". Or not. Maybe you're right, you can push beyond the possible. Maybe you're wrong and you can't, breaking your team and product in the process. Which one is right? You choose. But don't screw up, it's all on the line.

I think this is one of the least appreciated traits of the giants. Musk, Jobs, they pushed their people to the breaking point, but clearly they also knew what to drop and what to insist on to get things out the door. Quoting Jobs, "Real artists ship." Jobs famously argued against an app store, then was convinced and then pushed on it as hard as anyone.

I could go on, but the point is this kind of decision is fiendishly hard, and I think it separates the great from the mediocre.
I think in OKR practices, hitting 0.9/1.0 shouldn't happen. Nonetheless after the first round of OKR evaluation, if the OKR that seemed hard turns out to be easy; you should be revising the OKR anyway (in your case, under a manager's watch hopefully) to pursue something harder.

Is there a single thing in those files to make Nazi comparison justifiable?
Your post is valid from a technical and idealistic standpoint, however when you realize the size of the data sets turned over in the film / TV world in a daily basis, restoring, hashing and verifying files during production schedules is akin to painting the forth bridge - only the bridge has doubled in size by the time you get half way through, and the river keeps rising...

There are lots of companies doing very well in this industry with targeted data management solutions to help alleviate these problems (I'm not sure that IT 'solutions' exist), however these backups aren't your typical database and document dumps. In today's UHD/HDR space you are looking at potentially petabytes of data for a single production - solely getting the data to tape for archive is a full time job for many in the industry, let alone administration of the systems themselves, which often need overhauling and reconfiguring between projects.

Please don't take this as me trying to detract from your post in any way - I agree with you on a great number of points, and we should all strive for ideals in day to day operations as it makes all our respective industries better. As a fairly crude analogy however, the tactician's view of the battlefield is often very different to that of the man in the trenches, and I've been on both sides of the coin. The film and TV space is incredibly dynamic, both in terms of hardware and software evolution, to the point where standardization is having a very hard time keeping up. It's this dynamism which keeps me coming back to work every day, but also contributes quite significantly to my rapidly receding hairline!
Gosh! If only Adrienne had tapped into an infinite well of patience and politeness maybe some of the folks here who very literally equate trans people with dangerous mental instability will come around.

Civility is content, language itself is arbitrary. Pretend I were to say, "Sir, the fact that you're a cishet man makes you incapable of rational thought on this matter. I hope that the new administration gives you the electroshock therapy you need to normalize to a rational being and not a dangerous predator."

That is a civil set of words, but a profoundly uncivil and dangerous tone. And that's being repeated over and over in this forum and NOT being rated down.

Further, it's absolutely hypocritical that we cheerfully upvote the most uncivil of emails by Linus Torvalds and banal screeds about "Getting Shit Done" but the instant someone uses energized language when talking about racism or sexism, then suddenly a completely different set of standards apply because this is politics and that's different.

Civility is entirely removed from the playing field when someone's human rights and dignity are in question. That is a final line before we convert someone into something akin to an animal. And that is a very real line that Manning has faced throughout this entire ordeal. In the same sense that were you to try and stab someone, they should not apologize if they hurt you while defending themselves.
Nope, definitely your definition that's wrong. One of many examples http://pca.st/VnJY
No, not really. If that was the relevant clause, the definition would have read, "information that is intended to influence public opinion or obscure the truth." But clearly, based on the actual definition, a piece of information has to also be false in order to count as disinformation.

i think we can be quite certain that there are backdoors into windows also without it being pirated, so your phrasing makes it easy to argue back.

i'd personally argue with the backdoors hidden by the pirates are significantly more likely to be used for nefarious things than the 'official' ones, as whitehats are responsible for the former, while blackhats created the latter.
Are physical CDs still a thing?
This is good news. Manning committed a crime (giving away info from the government which she was thought to protect), but it does not justify destroying a life. She served well beyond enough time behind bars, too many years for my taste, so my soul says is great she is released. If now the prison time for more ordinary people could be reduced to more European-human lenghts.

> just serve magnet urls in plain text without a clickable button

That would make it impossible to copy the magnet link from the search results page, which I believe is a really nice usability perk. For users that are less technically inclined, clickable links could be crucial (even if it gives you the theoretical possibility to track the click).

I guess it depends on if you are prepared to be a search engine only for the 1337 crowd, or if you want casual users to have access to a decent search engine too. The Hacker News crowd could still just right click and copy the magnet link, so essentially you're just removing features for those who don't understand how technology works but are still dependant on it.

Perhaps the best idea would be to keep the link and have a text area for selecting and copying like requested above.

Consider this.
Why don't you buy a 2 bedroom condo in Santa Clara or Milpitas for ~half of your budget.
At a company like mine where the technology isn't the primary product this would become "the four machines"? With one more machine handling the "main" product. Like journalism/carpenting/engineering etc.
I believe that is the lesson from the story, but I don't believe the lesson from the story == the lesson irl.

The IRL takeaway is that if you don't open your mouth, you don't get punished. If you do open your mouth, you might get punished.
I imagine this is a pretty murky area of medical science; there are so many confounding factors. It could be anything ranging from physical inactivity caused by depression ('psychomotor retardation') to abnormal hormone/catecholamine fluctuations or levels having some larger systemic effect.

Even in the more well-defined case of acute heart failure caused by 'stress' (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy [0], or Broken Heart Syndrome) there's still a great deal of uncertainty about the exact cause.

All that aside, I really do hope things get better for you (or at least don't become unmanageable). My depression has gotten completely out of control for the past two years, and this has coincided with a noticeable decline in my physical health (including high blood pressure). It sucks.

From what I've seen, you're the sort of person who "values" the input of marginalized opinion so long as you're firmly in control of the conversation and are allowed to shout them down at any time.
