Nice, clever use of base change.

What about something like

n{:[~#y;$x;y]}'{,/("Fizz";"Buzz")@&~x!/:3 5}'n:1+!20

to avoid duplicating the string combinations? The conditional is unfortunate, would like to get rid of it. But should be straightforward to extend if we want to introduce further string combinations for numbers divisible by, e.g., 7. Though anticipating such things goes against the spirit of k I suppose. :-)
> I work in marketing, and have seen scant evidence for the value of a "brand"

To what do you attribute the success of, say Coca Cola, rather than generic cola? Price and a good distribution network? Surely brand must contribute a little.
The problem with technical debt versus financial debt is that the latter has a monthly mandatory cost ( interest payments ) that can't be ignored and which is visible all the way up to the C-level, whereas middle-management can keep obscuring the presence of technical debt and pushing its repayment out to the right.

Essentially it's a 'free' internal debt, regardless of how often architects and developers complain of its cost.

Thus in a contest between doing something right, but expensively, versus good-enough-for-now but technically-constrained the latter will usually win.

Direct or indirect government control doesn't matter much for me. RT has the _advantage_ that it's overt.
My advice is to not build Slack for Gyms, build XXX for everyone and go to market with an early niche that finds your software useful. Why limit yourself? Only other advice is to find clients that both have money and have an obvious problem. Don't try to sell to visible companies that you interact with all the time like a little restaurant. They don't have the income to support you. That military contractor that insecure, out of date site that looks embarrassing they are your target market. They don't bat at eye at a $10k invoice if it helps them make more income.
Excellent. Yeha I agree - I've been working with a similar issue and we've tried all sorts of creative ideas to get the performance, like rendering on the server.
I don't get this: "But remember: if you limit yourself to detecting uplifts of over 10% you will miss also miss negative effects of less than 10%.
Can you afford to reduce your conversion rate by 5% without realizing it?"

You'd potentially lose 5% CR if you ship the variant even when it doesn't show a detectable uplift. Why would you do that?

Right. Advocating for the use of Wine here is a sign of ignorance and inexperience. Someone probably sold them on Wine when they researched installing Ubuntu alongside Windows to get their toes wet.
I don't like that they're doing it as a flag to docker build, though. I would have liked something like

RUN echo "this gets its own layer"
BEGIN
RUN echo "this will be squashed"
RUN echo "and this, too"
SQUASH
RUN echo "this gets its own layer again"

Similar to how BEGIN..COMMIT works in SQL.
I bought 3½ years ago the (quite expensive) Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I bought it for three reasons: 1) It was a mainstream phone, so geek/hackers will buy and use it; 2) It is possible to change the battery; and 3) It has good specs.

I couldn't be more happy with this choice today, as:

1) Thanks to some passionate people [1] who are spending their time to port new Android versions to it, I already have Android Nougat on my phone, before most other devices on the market. Quite impressive for a 3½ old phone to still have geek/hackers working on it.

2) Thanks to the replaceable battery, I just got my phone a new youth. 48h of uptime easily, up to 72h if I don't use it too much.

3) I paid the price for the specs back in the time, but 3½ years after this phone run really smoothly without any noticeable slowness.

If I clean the screen, you will swear that this is a brand new phone: no marks (even if I stopped using a case 1 year ago), a more recent Android version than most of the phones sold today, a good battery life, running a smooth interface without any glitches even on the most demanding apps/videos and having all the features that are built in phone nowadays (NFC, IR, GPS, Accelerometers, Compass, Camera, Sound, LEDs), you can even consider that it has more than them thanks to the stylus and "wacom" screen that are just amazing.

I think I love my phone, let's hope that will continue!

All this to say that even if your phone is not going to have the Nougat update, if you are nerdy enough you can look on xda-developers to see if someone has ported it to your phone, who knows?!

If you are developing within a docker container, how do you get as far as CI before you have tested it working locally??

The whole point of using docker containers is to have the same development experience locally, in CI and in prod.. not have some unknown system libraries on your box which don't match other environments.

Want a database?
docker run mysql/mysql-server

Your argument for switching away from containers, seems to actually be arguing for using containers.
Doesn't look good on my Google Pixel :/
Awesome, thanks Daviey.

So it seems to me that, while there's indeed some heavy coding to do for things like keeping apps up to date, containerizing what haven't been yet and managing data containers / mounted volumes, there's nothing preventing such setup to be viable, with hard work. There probably should be some grouping done at some point I guess, to work around apps that expect to live in the same place to work together, but that's still doable.

Do you see any big blocker?

One korean shipping company went bankrupt. You could then no longer ship things to Europe for several weeks.

So now your economy has single points of failure. Samsung failing would cause massive failures. Markets are not rational, and crises of confidence will kill.

From a corporate governance standpoint, being the son of the CEO does not make you the right future CEO.

Having huge conglomerates might help with coordination, but not for competition. Samsung the smartphone company will feel obligated to use Samsung the construction company , even if Hyundai might meet the requirements better.

Having only large corporations that can throw their weight around is basically a planned economy. That works well when the people running them are good. Sometimes planning works!

But you now are placing your bets on the skills of a couple dozen people not being bad at their job.

If these companies were split up, then suddenly an economic crisis requires a much larger amount of people being stupid.

This isn't impossible (2008 is a good example of interests not being aligned), but personally I prefer that to a quasi monarchy.

If you dont hate your job, I would suggest you to stay in your job until you validate your idea. It allows you to keep earning money while you are not actually building anything (validate an idea is not a fulltime job). And also it helps to keep you in the right mental state that your first idea most certainly isnt the right idea.

If you quit your job with an idea in mind and the plan of validating it then executing, it will be much harder to change or even discard this idea ("this idea is why I quit my job afterall!").

Validate your idea (with or without a MVP) before quitting your job. That's my two cents
Unless you want to take time off regardless and have plenty of money to burn through, I'd save leaving your job until you are already making money with one of your projects. You can get pretty damn far just working on projects in your spare time.
For some reason people think you can put women in STEM without taking them from somewhere else. They also think that you can put women in STEM without taking men out. I never see the costs of the negative displacement mentioned. Sexual dimorphism and equality competed, and equality lost. Specialization won.

Furthermore, are not we more individuals than our gender, and do we not have traits which make us more or less cut out for a field than our gender would indicate? Why would you want more "women" in STEM when you could have more "curious" of any gender, or insert whatever other positive trait you want to select for. It's better than a brute, blanket gender selection.

You move a mountain one stone at a time. I strongly recommend that you find a way to create structure for yourself and make (meaningful) bit of progress coding daily. Set goals and deadlines early and measure yourself against them. You're on the clock (limited cash to burn through) so it's important that you avoid rabbit hole ideas and "fail quickly". Good luck and send HN your work for us to test out and provide feedback.

Everything you build becomes your code library that you carry forward.

Smart devs know this and cultivate their personal repetoire.

For example in the veeeery first days of .NET I had the opportunity to build a nice internal application for a client. Of course I didn't have a .NET library - the tech was just coming out of beta - but Microsoft was nice enough to provide a bunch of "example code" and "starter sites" to give all us noobs some patterns we could work from - at least most of the skeleton of a working, database back-ended website with a working security model.

From this .NET project it was easy to find another, and now I had a complete .NET library with solutions to all kinds of problems - how to do doc management, how to solve image resizing problems in .NET, how to talk to all kinds of heterogeneous systems using .NET, how to implement webservices, etc. because I'd built these once. With that toolbox I could easily solve all kinds of other problems with only a little creative remodelling of the skeleton app.

Then in 2007 when I jumped into OSS I got to start an all-new library building solutions on the LAMP stack. By 2009 I had a nice little library built up again.

The pattern is amenable to any software tech. Every project builds from the last one, if you do it right.
A bit off-topic, but for those thinking about buying this chair - its awesome! I've been using it for the past ~4 years and its still very reliable and comfortable. I was moving to another country few years ago and I couldn't bare to get rid of it like rest of my furniture. I ended up driving 1000km with it in the back of my car. It was a hassle but I don't regret it, my back is very happy :)

In some areas use of the title "Engineer" is regulated. I'm not claiming what's right or wrong on this, just stating how things are.

From Wikipedia [1]:

"The practice of engineering in the UK is not a regulated profession [...] In Continental Europe, Latin America, Turkey and elsewhere the title is limited by law to people with an engineering degree and the use of the title by others is illegal."

Analysis of the famines in Bangladesh and the role of speculation in them has been done by Nobel prize winning economist Amartya Sen, and the examples I've given are taken from his work Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation(1982).

Regarding economics as a science, it is widely accepted by economists that it is not a precise science, and has no inviolable axioms like math, or anywhere approaching the experimental accuracy of physics. It is a messy, complicated thing because humans are messy and complicated. In particular, it is well established through the works of people like Kahneman than people are not rational actors.

In addition, you seem to be resorting to a false dichotomy between capitalism as it exists today vs command economies. You don't have to choose one or the other. Markets are certainly an important and useful way of distributing resources, but they are dominated and controlled by a small, powerful, capitalist class, who are also able to abuse regulatory institutions for their own benefit. The problem is that this class appropriates wealth created by society at large. They have the power to set up rules and conditions in their own favor.

Any "just" and "fair" system could only begin by returning this wealth back to society.
It's customary to state the optimization problem such that you're minimizing a function - hence "local minima". If you want to maximize something, you simply negate the function.

I have no problem with Wine if it's about running applications outside a security context and are no longer being developed, most of the time I prefer to use a VM.

The problem is that using Wine tells the 1Password devs that they don't need to make a native Linux solution, that it's unnecessary since it already works.

But that is not what I want. I want a native Linux client since that reduces the number of packages on my system drastically.

Wine has also little ways to employ security measures for Linux, so if there is a problem concerning Linux and Security, 1Password cannot fix it.
100,000's of servers for
100,000,000 of messages/day ?

I understand that half the servers aren't even doing messages, but, isn't WhatsApp doing 2 orders of magnitude more messages with 3 orders of magnitude (?) fewer servers?

Is that right? I'm curious how one would justify 10,000X worse?

So for each message, 10,000X more equipment is needed?
I think you could easily retitle this as "Men are fucked", or probably closer to the point: "Boys are fucked". It's a male dominated, youth-oriented industry, and all of the sexism and harassment that a woman will encounter is an outgrowth of that.

This isn't to excuse the behaviour, but merely to ask if there are any examples of young-male oriented industries that have better behaviour?
This. This is absolutely brilliant. I have worked with Azure for years, and mostly love it - but I learned about a few services, that I never knew what were.

Great work, ExpeditedSSL
Not sure I follow your reasoning: CSRF requires a browser, as that's where you'll find a logged-in user that you want to force into doing something without their knowledge. The network layer is already protected by HTTPS. Some browser plugin might modify the header, at which point the whole exercise is pointless anyway as you can't trust the client in that case. Happy to learn where I'm wrong.
I associate to how IBM ran everything in virtual machines on their 360 architecture. And how you typically assign memory to virtual machines today reminds me of how you in MacOS < 10 had to do that on a per program basis before starting it.
I'd say if you haven't had a lot of exposure to AWS, this list is likely to give you a misleading impression in many cases; many items are either factually or taxonomically wrong, or grossly oversimplified to force them into a particular category, or confuse the underlying implementation (or even unverified assumptions about the underlying implementation) for the service offering. There are also some surprising omissions, like ELB/ALB or KMS, and some impossible and even self-defeating suggestions, like using someone else's trademark (again, with questionable validaty).

It's especially misleading if, as you say, you want to understand differences between AWS and Azure services, because that sometimes comes down to nuances.

So I recommend treating it as humorous parody, not documentation. It is a little bit amusing if you're already in the know.

I think this part of the discussion is really interesting. After all, this is about discussing an actual solution to the problem of "extreme luck" (good or bad).

I don't see your point, however. The authors explicitly say it should be a progressive tax and that income tax should be removed. That does not include removing tax on capital gains.

So I understand the idea as taxing consumption after it reaches some minimal threshold, and otherwise only tax income from wealth. I don't see how that would affect the lower ranges of income other than that they suddenly would be relived of all tax burdens, and in particular, of their by far highest tax rate: the VAT. I also don't see how that "fucks the middle class" - for them, these changes should be mostly transparent. That is, for them, VAT and income tax will just be called differently, but the overall rate still should be about the same.

The real problem arises with the rich, naturally, because their VAT will suddenly skyrocket. In other words, as the rich and powerful rule the world, this is yet another proposal that can't happen without some pain...

Hacking CoreOS to work on a desktop is pretty cool, just for the nerd factor. I wanted to run CoreOS on my Raspberry Pi, but they don't have a build for ARM at this point, and I know nowhere near enough about Linux to work on it myself in the way Jessie did.

Thanks for caring about gendered language. I used this term because it's used (humorously) in the Unix Koans[0]. But maybe you're reading to far into it, I certainly don't mean to imply their gender had anything to do with C's design, but for better or worse they did happen to be men and were seen by by some as a "father figure" for the language.

For all the political chess, Russia's economy is still smaller than Italy's, despite having a pretty good setup in theory.

Russia is able to make noise and do things to Eastern Europe, but the government's moves seem to be much more about preserving the current government rather than advancing the interests of the nation as a whole

For example: how does annexing Crimea help Russia? Was that one navy port worth it?

A calculated risk, perhaps. But they seem to be bad at math.

Ask HN: Do you think ideas shared by Ricardo Semler can be applied to startups?
If you don't know about Ricardo Semler, he is a brazilian industrial leader, who has a company called Semco that runs on egalitarian principles.

https://www.ted.com/talks/ricardo_semler_how_to_run_a_company_with_almost_no_rules

His books "Maverick!", "The Seven-day Weekend" is full of examples and instances of why,how Semco functions the way it does.

It is a company which had stuff like profit sharing etc, and its run in democratic fashion where participation of employees is needed for many functions.

I think what you're not getting from this comment is that it's not "a few", but it's "many enough to make this person's life considerably worse".

And that this behavior is partially enabled, because there is a culture that, while not openly condoning it, lets this behavior go on in it's underground.

That means very much the "an industry".
Thank you for your reply! I have tried to keep my job, but working a 10am/7pm job with a 90mn commute everyday left me with only the weekends to work on something else.

CSRF protection is not about attacks from evil clients (you can easily spoof any header with the HTTP client library of your choice, of course). CSRF protection is about preventing innocent / well-behaving clients from being tricked into POSTing some data on behalf of their (logged-in) user.

I think you should become ramen profitable before quitting your job. When I quit my side-business was doing $1 million in revenue. I only quit because the work load from customer support had become impossible to deal with on evenings and weekends.
This is irrelevant to the industry. And I feel offended by attacking the industry. Banking, retail, fashion, you will get such comments everywhere. A lot of men are jerks indeed but this is a social problem, not an industry one.
