It's more probability than luck. Anyone with moderate intelligence and who is willing to make a commitment to building wealth can say, make 5 or 10 million in life. It might not be easy nor quick, but from what I've seen, it's definitely achievable (i'm not there yet). You do however need to build up a specific skillset.

At least 90% of the population is either 1) not interested in acquiring wealth, or 2) not willing to put in the effort. Becoming a billionaire, on the other hand, is obviously something completely different.

Half the trick is making sure your money works for you. Once you have, say, $5m, it's not all that hard to turn it into $10m. All you need is time.

I've seen guys make hundreds of millions (and lose it all) through great and bad investing. But a commitment to making money is probably the most important thing you need.
Car depreciation is a hard thing to get a real handle on so I bet a lot of drivers aren't really thinking about exactly how much each mile is costing them in the long run.
They are milliseconds taken for the given task, as stated in the article.
Cool stats about Java. "import" is the most frequently used word. It looks like everything is already exist in Java, so just import all the things, some clue code and you are done.
Two Things a Product Team Can't Survive Without
Interesting that for Ruby the most used word is "option", is not even a Ruby but a Rails word.
I have seen this "we can't measure branding but we can measure conversion rates so let's optimize optimize optimize" approach borne out to create some of the worst websites. High converting, surely, but spammy, ugly, constantly trying to jam you into the funnel, full of dark patterns etc. Usually utterly forgettable, but often memorable for how crappy the experience is.

In my experience companies that do this are thinking very short term: how many people can we get through our funnel this month and how much money can we make from them? Yes it's hard to measure 'long term harm', but to assume it doesn't exist because it can't be directly measured makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

To me it is worth aspiring to be respected as a business. Obviously not to the point of letting your business fail because you obsessed over branding while nobody actually bought your product, but as a larger goal. A business that tries to squeeze customers for all it can and achieves grudging acceptance isn't something I aspire to be a part of.
Letting errors surface is a good thing.
I’ve been saying “files” up until now and it’s really “objects” that are stored in S3 ... list of unique names (that typically look like filename paths) and then there are the actual bits (which are the objects we call files)

not sure what the difference is. all local files on your HD also abide by these same rules. if you want to use any file you have to open it which ends up as a block of bits in memory
We are working in a remote team, so replicating shared envs locally is important. Our system contains multiple databases, application servers, SMTP, etc etc. -- you can use all of them in your local dev env. It's not the same as prod because of different latencies, etc., but all containers are present locally. It is _very_ useful.
I don't use a Japanese keyboard, only a Swedish and sometimes French (Belgium). The colon in "RPG:s" was actually a simple mistake because I'm Swedish[1]

I'm South American so I have first handedly seen how American propaganda works. It may be different from Russian propaganda, but your plea that people stop sharing RussiaToday, in absence of equal pleas against The New York Times, comes off as ignorant. You may be scared about Russian military aggression, but I beg you to compare how much military aggression the US and Russia are both engaged in right now.

By the way, I decided to share the well-argued, well-cited article about the issues with pro-Clinton New York Times reporting on HackerNews, it got three upvotes, and then it got flagged to death.

Consider that we may both be between a rock and a hard place.
For context, Debian recently restructured the manpages:

I've had this chair for the better half of a decade, and I can attest to its reliability.

I don't like everything about the chair, though. The hand rests prevent you from having the keyboard up close in most settings (if you like that), but the worst thing for me is the slight slack that the base has had from the beginning (the whole chair tilts a bit over the base). It almost made me return the chair in the first place, but as the sample model at the local IKEA had the same feature I accepted this as a necessary evil in the price point.

I probably won't buy another one, though – I much prefer firm chairs.
To be honest, part of the reason for this is that in Go, 'self' is any name you see fit in the particular context, otherwise it may still be self.
I frequently have to delete these kinds of HTML nodes off the page just to see if it actually has something I want. I debated rolling my own extension for the common sites where I run into this, but ended up just throwing up my hands at the absurdity of the situation.

What kind of JS Framework are you going to use?
Also, what kind of DB will you be using, how are you going to make it scale?

No, I found that a bit wrong. it's more like Mesos+Marathon, or Kubernetes. It's a cluster management solution that manages your services or processes and their rolling deployments. can run on-prem on your linux or windows machines, or managed on azure with a portal.
You can host any executable (or containers). And it does reverse proxy for you too.

Interfaces require casting and hurt performance, though.

You could come up with `Either` types, but due to the lack of generic structs you'd have to have a whole lot of those.

Interestingly, Rust has basically the same error handling idiom, but verbosity is considerably reduced by the '?' operator (previously the try! macro).

When I was coding in Go, i would have loved that feature. The mind-numbing error checking in go is hugely annoying.
The three most important things (imho) are this:

1) Most of your assumptions are wrong. Tell/ask everyone you can about your idea and evaluate all feedback.

2) Figure out how you are going to get customers and get them to pay. If you don't know this first, you'll never get anywhere.

3) Find someone to work with. This is a very hard thing and you are going to get discouraged constantly. You'll need external motivation or you'll give up.

Everything else can be overcome with hard work.

I'm curious what you/they 'do' on the desktop?

Maybe it's the dash thing? Maybe the lack of a list of things to scroll through to choose a program?

I've always found unity pretty simple and easy. It seems to handle all graphical tasks fine and if I need a terminal I open a terminal.
I experimented with lucid dreaming many years ago and found it to be quite intriguing. I highly recommend trying it.

It took a few months of practice to be able to do it on demand. For me that meant keeping a dream journal by my bed and diligently writing in it every time I woke up.

The trick I used to transfer control of the dream to my conscious mind was to "touch my nose"; I had to keep reminding myself while conscious to do so.

I eventually stopped doing it because oddly enough I started feeling not as rested as I would have liked after active dreaming.

It was not so much the case that I could choose what I would dream, though I suppose that might be possible. It was more like I would be in a dream setting determined by my subconscious mind and then I would take control and do whatever I wanted-- fly, use magic, take the story in a new direction, whatever. But it was always clear that I was dreaming.
How about disabling JavaScript on Quora? Should block step 5, right?
It's worth noting on the SES explanation it says:

You actually can use a self hosted solution like Sendy to send marketing emails & newsletters via SES & only pay for the emails you send using SES
A drunk driving conviction is a drunk driving conviction... I'm ok with that. Especially if it's your 3rd time.

I do wonder if there is some cause and effect in play with robberies and the assaults. Being from a poverty stricken area, most of the robberies and assaults I witnessed (in my area) were just from poor people arguing about what little value they have. Or drugs.

I also would like to see the drug possessions broken down into type of drug. I suspect marijuana possession is still a large part of that. <1G of weed is different than heroin.
Also, it cuts the characters you have to type and read in halve, while not being obtuse.

That's an odd thing to complain about.
Another thorn in the C syntax is to allow a single statement following if, for, while, etc.. How many pitfalls, walk-around have we struggled with because of it? Just put the braces into the statement syntax please.
I also struggled with that "brute egalitarianism" phrasing but settled for what you said. I also speculated that it might mean that the same punishment ("LIFETIME. NO PAROLE. "THREE STRIKES AND YOU ARE OUT.") is given for a bunch of unrelated trivial crap crimes.

1. Drunk driving (no victim of course)
2. Evading arrest
3. Apparently you had sex with your girlfriend when you both were 15.

Welcome to Oz, citizen!

Oh, you can no longer vote, so forget that "citizen" part.
My problem is not activation but rather that their free tier is too limited in terms of what services you can use.

Say I need an AD with two users, just to play with some stuff I can build for customers with "real" AD implementations? No can do, I'm supposed to pay full whack for AD like I actually needed it to manage a domain. Screw that. I should get a free tier with, say, up to five users or objects (just enough to get an object or two for each common type) or some call limit. As it is, I just let my trial expire and now I won't even think about building anything around AD unless absolutely forced.
That's a direct example where government power rewarded a crony.

Reward for value creation is something that the free market does every day in trillions of transactions.
Awesome article and thumbs up to github.

I'm having great reservations towards CSP however. I think it breaks the web in a way that wouldn't have been necessary had we been a little bit more careful about HTML syntax rather than dismissing markup validation as an obsolete technique back when the vulgar "HTML 5 rocks" campaigns were in full swing.

CSP spec drafts have been around forever but were never finalized. CSP basically blocks execution of JavaScript in script tags in content (as opposed to script in the header), as well as in content handler attributes (onclick and co.) by disabling those alltogether on a page. This totally breaks page composibility where you assemble content at the markup stream level from multiple sources, like, say on every single news aggregation site. The removal of scoped CSS styles from HTML similarly breaks composition.

From Chrome's Content Security Policy page:

[Blocking inline script] does, however, require you
to write your code with a clean separation between
content and behavior (which you should of course
do anyway, right?)

I think this comment is totally clueless wrt. what the Web is about. "Separation of concerns" is most certainly not a characteristic of the Web, and never has been.

I'm sorry, but rather than using kludges such as CSP to turning the lights off with a broad brush, how about fixing HTML and JavaScript in the first place?

(note my comment isn't addressed at github but at web standard comitees)

That's not a real thing. Pardons and commutation still exist, parole exists and is regularly used (not in the federal system, but the vast majority of criminal prosecution is state-level prosecution); mandatory minimums exist, as do some zero-tolerance policies, but those policies are selectively enforced and mandatory minimums aren't mandatory equal sentences and don't stop selective choice of charges. There is no brute egalitarianism in the criminal justice and, in fact, enforcement is radically unequal on both racial and class bases.

Also, the area where the policies linked to that alleged "brute egalitarianism" are most prominent are drug offenses and areas related to violence against police officers sold largely by the violence in the war on drugs, so even if they did produce a "brute egalitarianism" it wouldn't be "across the board", it would still stem directly from the war on drugs.
> and discovered that MATE is an out-of-the-box installation option

Yeah, Ubuntu MATE is nice, when using net-installer i.e MinimalCD one could get just the Ubuntu + MATE + system-utilities without all the bloat and then just add the preferred programs no fuss, no buzz.
My fault. I went and skimmed at the guidelines before I responded. I must have missed that.
I was going to mention Elementary OS, too.

It is essentially Ubuntu, but with the Pantheon DE. Don't try running it (or Unity) inside a VM though, unless you like having input lag.

The best DE i've found for a VM is either MATE or LXDE. XFCE isn't bad either.
Using email less, honestly. Because I can't get to my home email from work, I've largely stopped following most of the mailing lists I was on, just catching up periodically. I've played with mu4e, and I'd probably use it more if I spent more time on a computer and network under my full control.

For my reduced email needs, I mostly use K-9 Mail (Android) and self-hosted RainLoop (web). For work mail I use Outlook.

> it is essentially worthless as your IDE's basic "add method" intention (or whatever) is going to add it automatically

Just because an IDE will write boilerplate automatically, that doesn't mean the boilerplate wasn't written, checked into version control, presented to developers, etc. Even if such boilerplate were added by an IDE, and hidden from developers (e.g. using code folding), it's still there in the language.

In this case, the language is C#, not e.g. some "C#-like" language which gets preprocessed/transpiled by an IDE into C# by scattering boilerplate around.

Whilst tooling can help us live with a language's deficiencies, they don't remove those deficiencies ;)
While I haven't experienced this sort of thing very often in the US, whenever it does happen Amazon has either sent another package, refunded the cost of the order, and/or offered a free month of Prime. And it usually only takes 5-10 minutes in an online chat with customer service to figure out. There are definitely plenty of meh things about Amazon, but customer service is certainly not one of them.
Java doesn't have syntax for importing more than one member of a package in one statement.

Either you import a single member, or all with *.

Combine that with IDEs that auto-create the import statement, and there you go.
This was a job with the state, so I thought the rules were rigid and payscales well defined. They ended up offering slightly above what I asked, which I should have realized that it meant they would have offered even more.

I think this is a complete red herring. First of all, feminist refers to someone who believes men and women should have equal rights. I don't know anyone who is not a feminist and I would like to know if you can name someone who isn't. Using that label to describe people who routinely attack men seems completely wrong.

Secondly, where is the evidence that people who harass and abuse women online are doing it because they feel their rights and their jobs are under threat? I'm not saying there are not people like that but if you really want to change society as a whole, why would you do it by trying to attack individual women? Could it not be that these men are simply narcissistic assholes who gain pleasure by hurting women?
> doesn't mean I dislike having nice things like desktop transition effects

While transition effects are pretty, I personally do dislike them: if it's not instantaneous, it's too slow.

It might be worth maintaining a cosmetic blocking list for uBlock that you could share and that others could contribute to.
I think if you grouped the import statements by package the numbers would be similar but typically people import individual classes.

What's even worse about Pinterest is that almost all the images are derived from an outside source, so you're following this insane route to get at the original content:

source image-> indexed by Pinterest -> Google index of Pinterest index -> Pinterest page -> source image.

I can't believe that Google is incapable of navigating around this, but Pinterest would probably block them from indexing if they did.
At least in C#, we could probably exclude auto-generated files by looking for the whitespace keywords "partial class|interface|struct".
From what I've read about CockroachDB, I thought it was master-less. If so, I certainly hope there's a market for a horizontally-scalable, ACID-compliant database. I know it would come in handy for a number of applications I've worked on that required consistency but had workloads that were difficult to fit on a single server or a master-slave setup.
You'd be surprised...
In C# the first word is "summary" which is massively influenced by the way Visual Studio formats comments. I wonder though if this is an indication that a lot of people write comments.

What is not a real thing? The article argues (correctly or incorrectly?!) that while parole etc still exists, the leeway which still exists in the system, is increasingly used to stop parole, judge the harshest sentence allowed by law, etc.

That the leeway in the past was more often used the other way. Consider attenuating circumstances etc.

I totally expected "should" to be at the top in ruby. Code bases with 2:1 or even more test code to implementation code ratio = standard.
Any recommendations for cloud-based CI/CD services? I'm currently using Bitrise, then delivering to Fabric via fastlane.
Why would you expect negative comment? .NET Core is a solid platform for web development. It's easy to deploy and relatively fast compared to the usual Python/Ruby/PHP and co... only matched by Java(controlled by Oracle) and Go(which is obnoxious). .NET Core is growing at a fast pace, and it deserves it, C# and F# are phenomenal languages.
I use similar tablets for development, and I think 4gb of ram is pushing it, if you want to have, for example a heavier web browser and a larger IDE open at the same time.

It is doable though if you are willing to spend some time tuning your device, e.g. set the priority for some tasks lower than they want, so they don't hog the system resources while doing something. http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Process-Priorities-in-Windows-... I ran a 2gb ram, 10", dual core atom for 4ish years by doing this and using a lightweight browser, like opera or ie.
I'm currently using LS, but one of the problems I have is that it doesn't support wildcard domain rules. This means ephemeral hosts quickly build up a large number of rules which soon become redundant.
What we need realize is that simple grammar does not always lead to simple comprehension. Nesting the grammar elements more than a few levels is always difficult for our current biology equipment.

Excellent product, but needs some kind of rule sharing feature. There are so many network requests from different components that it can be overwhelming knowing what to allow.
Well, I guess if "simultaneous" means that different parts of the government with different programs can have opposite effects, okay.

But I'm talking about a program that mitigates the effects of luck while (in the same program, with the same methods) rewarding effort.

They're mostly opposite effects and there's no way to reliably distinguish hard work from luck. That's why there's so much debate on the subject.
Interesting.

The point is that public figures have always had to shield themselves from the mediocrity of crowds, because it's easier to free yourself up from that than to change the whole society or industry.

Huh, I experience python as quite the opposite of "Explicit is better than implicit":

- No static types

- A variable might belong to the scope of a method, object or class, depending on where it was first set and changed afterwards

- Implicit execution of code on import of a module (__init__.py, including parent packages)

- Any object is truthy or falsey, i.e. conditional statements don't require an explicit boolean
