I've been successfully using journaling to fight insomnia for a few months now. What I do is try to simply capture every thought that comes into my head as fast as I can write.

At first, my hand can barely keep up with the torrent of thoughts being produced by my mind, but after maybe 5-10 min it slows right down. At some point I feel like I'm actually waiting for thoughts to come up so I can write.

Eventually, my mind goes quiet. It's much easier to fall asleep then.
Cyanogen is not the only choice. Unlike most chinese manufacturers Xiaomi's MIUI is decent and is regularly updated.
My text editor is powerful enough.
Have you tried OneNote?

Maybe have a Microsoft surface or another tablet with a stylus for when you want to "have that paper feel"

This is why I'm hoping for a surface phone this MWC. Then I could use Full OneNote, outlook, excel etc instead of the current cut down apps.
Teslas are remotely enabled and disabled. They regularly report telemetry back to HQ. They ask for and receive updates over the air.

What happens if that infrastructure crashes (or a natural disaster disables part of it)? What happens if the clocks drift? What happens if a bug (or an intentional virus) suddenly deauthorizes all Teslas on the network? It's the same problem - management of the remote systems is centrally located, and centrally located management systems can fail.
The airport field in the find flights section doesn't recognize lower case airport codes. For example, "ord" doesn't work but "ORD" does. It should probably accept lower case as well.
And there is no safer place to try it.

When HBO launches a new series, they market to their entire viewer base and arrange/hope for more attention.

When Netflix launches a new series, they know exactly what is similar to it and who watched those things, so they target those viewers first. Odds are, those viewers talk about it in their circles and word/attention spreads. If it blows up further, great! But since they knew exactly how big their starting niche was, they probably (a guess) had their ROI planning based on those.

As noted in the article of the top 10 shows googled last year, 5 were Netflix Originals. They're not just winning, they're blowing away everyone else.
Even a good fake with a Swiss movement could cost $500-1000. It might still be worth robbing.
But as I wrote again - this is available by default in Android since version 6.0. It even behaves the same way (you get empty contacts etc if the app doesn't use APIs explicitly.)
So the forum went down but not the website. AND the website didn't redirect to League of Legends and it is actually the wrong name?

Altered Truths?
It may appear obvious to you, with the benefit of hindsight and a condensed explanation. As someone who has been in superficially similar situations, it can be hard to tell the difference between someone who only wants some help learning and someone who wants to offload all the work.

When someone asks me for help with some practice problem they are supposed to solve on their own, I'm now trying to stick with never ever giving the solution. Instead, I give at most a description of the next step towards the solution. If they get stuck, it's sometimes really tempting to just show them the solution, but I think it is better to find out what they are missing and then give yet another explanation.

The process may take hours, and fewer people ask me for help a second time, but I believe this way I'm helping more than if I just did the work in 5 minutes.
They are centrally managed, though. They are authorized to run over the Tesla network, and they get patches from a centralized source.

Theoretically the cars would be mechanically sound to drive, but couldn't due to problems with the software.
C gives you a behind the scenes look at most abstractions you use in terms of data structures. You create and destroy things such as lists, trees and such. You manage your memory manually and that let's you appreciate the work people put by making languages that do those things for you but you also learn a lot in terms of abstraction.

There are surely languages you use or will use which implementations are in C ( Python for example )

I think it's somewhat similar to a question with JVM languages.
Do you have to learn a bit of Java to get a deeper understanding of Scala of Clojure?

Do you have to learn a bit of Latin to express yourself in English or Italian a bit more fluently?
Do you ask for personal information as part of your signup process? First name, last name, email address etc? If you don't encrypt the data or take basic precautions against unauthorised access you're likely breaking Data Protection law.

If you've already implemented a web server with SSL then "weak cyphers" might bother you. As you don't already have it configured, you're no worse off configuring a fully TLS 1.2-compliant web server with SHA256 signed certs and ChaCha20-Poly1305 cypher suite. It's just a configuration option if you're doing it for the first time.
C allows you to interact directly with your OS (especially true for unix
OSes). This in turn helps you to understand how a specific higher-level feature
is implemented, how can it be used, how and when can it fail, and how to debug
it in all the other programming languages, like `subprocess' module in Python,
polling descriptors (any language), or ports in Erlang.

Coal isn't graphite though.

And you're talking about burning, not storage. Coal produces lots of dust and debris. I'm sure diamond would produce some dust at volumes.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-coal-an...

Anyway, it's fantasy because I'm fairly confident we're not going to turn CO2 into mountains of diamonds in my lifetime!
I like this.

Most large/successful aggregator travel sites feel like they've been "optimizing for revenue" for a long time. It's really informed the products in very fundamental way.

AirBnB is an example of vastly better than average design. But, even here I think the site has in recent years gradually been more focused around being "revenue-optimized." People browsing tree-houses in tropical rain forests they may one day visit is not optimal when compared to the "I need 3 beds in Milan next Thursday" people. To make your KPIs go up you need to direct those people who have their credit card out already to a thing that they will pay for now. This is not bad, but it does leave an opening.

Anyway... I think there is plenty of room for a travel site that emphasizes browsing. This site is fast and feels like it wants me to just browse.

Nicely done. I wish (and predict) you success, Kevin.
Does it really work like that in the Valley? I might have to come out there. Where I'm at, it's mostly big established fortune 5's. they hire they're fair share of idiots with degrees but I'm not sure you'd be able to make it by outsourcing the Fiverr.
Can you picture the news, and loss of user confidence, if one day everyone with a Tesla were suddenly unable to drive their car?

Would you trust a car which breaks down when AWS (for example) has an outage?
I think an app should not expose end users to its dependencies. That leaves the end user with a lot of pain figuring out versions of dependencies and god forbid you need to compile some dep then you need a build environment and its dependencies any of which can fail in this chain leaving a very unpleasant and even hostile end user experience.

Ruby and Node apps are particularly guilty of this pulling in sometimes hundreds of packages some of which need compilation. Compare that to a Go binary which is download and use. These things can get very complicated very fast even for developers or system folks let alone end users who may not be intimately familiar with that specific ecosystem.
Very valid point. Wow, 20A is crazy. I'm curious what model that was, or what I can Google to get an idea of what this was. It sounds pretty big! (FWIW, you can retrofit your powerbox for about $80, if you're in AU, and it's not that hard. Ahem.)

Ultimately I think my answer would be weighing the machine's rareness or unusualness against its power draw, fan noise or other annoyances. More of the former means that I'll accept more of the latter :) but in a worst-case scenario I'll just collect stuff and file it away, for example I was given some Sun V240s a while ago that I hope to be able to fire up when I can rack them in a well-ventilated faraway corner where I can't hear them.

Practically speaking I'm curious where people get rid of i3 based systems and multi-TB HDDs at the moment; I (crazy badly) need a new file server, and (for obscure, fun reasons) saving up for new HDDs is taking quite a few more months (and proving more stressful to my family, sadly) than I'd anticipated.
No, you still don't have:

- ./bin. No commands for you.

- a way to specify your libs to a program not providing a way to set env var.

- isolation from the system stdlib. This will cause subtile bugs.

- a clean pip freeze. No deps listing.

- and hence a lock file.
And they said long-form advertisement is dead!
I might be too sentimental (knowing that it's PR speak and therefore downplayed) the last paragraph strikes me as sheer hell.

"What I've realized is that the last few years of living in such a singular environment have taken a huge toll on my life and started affecting my health. My friends, what I consider to be my home, and my life are back in Silicon Valley, which is also much closer to my family. Seeing how much I've left behind these past few years, it is clear to me that the time has come to return,"
Text files take up almost no resources, are quick to work with in every way, have superb portability, are automatically date/time stamped and can be siphoned into a database any time you want get crazier with organizing or tracking them.

Paper is its own unique experience that is neat and stuff, but photos or scans of paper are ultimately kind of wasteful from a data perspective, as well as difficult to OCR-- and the way I see it, if you're not saving your stuff in data form at all, is whatever you're writing really a good use of your time?
> Why am I getting paid less to do more honest work? :/

You're optimising for doing good work. They're optimising for landing high-paying jobs.
"I'm also way faster on a keyboard"

This is sort of the point of pen/paper - slows you down, makes you more contemplative. Plus, with a little practice I'm sure your handwriting would improve.
Recommending against DigitalOcean: https://gist.github.com/justjanne/205cc548148829078d4bf2fd39...

TL;DR: Too expensive.

(And, additionally, they tend to fuck over customers who paid for their money. "100$ free credit!". "You only need to pay 5$ to activate your free credit!". "Sorry, but because you didn’t use it, we removed your free credit!")
I've done this to annoy recruiters and interviewers, and to make a point about the stupidity of popular interview processes.

I also contribute to things like Django precisely to enable me to work this way day-to-day -- I don't want to reinvent basic things over and over again, I want to pull a well-tested piece of code off the shelf and use it. And I'd likely no-hire anyone who insisted on doing real work the way we insist people work in interviews.
It's really hard, because first you have to agree on what the statement means. In the case of your example, what does he mean by "Washington?" Is he talking about the city? Suburbs? Political establishment? Military establishment?

It is, in fact, a straw-man meant to invoke anger and distrust. So your point that the fact-checkers (alone) can't save us is a strong one.
"Android devices typically allow sideloading,"

In the context of this discussion, sideloading is irrelevant. We're talking about the default happen-to-everybody case.

"Other than those aspects, there are actually very few major differences... between their security models"

It's not just about the security model, though. We have some reason to believe that Apple phones may actually be at least partially resistant to law enforcement. I say that not as an encouragement to use them that way, but to point out that's about the highest security bar possible and we at least have some reason to think the latest iPhones get there. (And I am carefully phrasing this as "some reason to believe" and "resistant" because we do not know for sure whether this is the case, and I wouldn't bet that even if the phone can stymie a local police investigation that it would block a full-powered Federal investigation.) We have no reason to believe any Android phone meets this standard of security, nor would the fact that a particular one rose to that standard meant any other ones would.

And if I'm pro-anything, I'm pro-Android in general. But that doesn't change the facts.
This "startup" is based in Vancouver.

And, I've got a feeling they'll figure it out when they have bugs, or ask her to fix bugs instead of adding standalone features.

(Unless she sends over the entire repo to the person she hires - at which point, I'm 100% sure she's breaking their contract).
Well, we let them write undemocratic laws for security reasons because "terrorism". It's our fault.
Ask HN: Why is comment toggle/collapse button so slow?
The [-] button on top of comments for collapsing threads is very, very slow.

Can't this be improved upon?

Reddit has the same (similar?) functionality but that's quite fast.
Two reasons. First, because during the initial transition from cable, you might want to keep watching existing shows from where you left off, without having to wait for the end of the season. And second, because other people watch the show live and you want to keep up with them.

The first problem goes away after the initial transition, and the second goes away when everyone you know also uses Netflix and/or Amazon Prime. But don't underestimate the value in getting people to switch.
Of course the truth matters. My argument is that fact checkers won't (can't) have a central role (they have a supporting one, sure) in working out the truth, as the GP posited.

A statement like "Washington has gotten rich off the backs of the rest of the country" can be both true and false, depending on which interpretations and assumptions you apply when evaluating it. WaPo decided on a (fairly lazy, IMO) false evaluation, but you can easily do the opposite: The federal government has grown, it's financed by taxes predominantly collected in the rest of the country and directly or indirectly, the federal government dominates employment in DC. There - 100% correct, verifiable facts that support the original statement.

But why is this true of DC? Perhaps it's a good thing that we have highly paid professional management of the federal government, and that this is geographically concentrated? Perhaps everything is more effective, with better services and ultimately cheaper than if the same agencies had been geographically spread out, devolved to states or cities, or didn't exist at all? How do you decide that? There are decades of argument (roughly 25, to be exact) about the proper size and organisation of the federal government -- these are fundamental areas of disagreement between reasonable people and the best fact checker in the world won't get you closer to settling that.
I think "Bryans" are actually quite rare.

Sadly, this is the kind of horror story people will trot out whenever they want to justify not mentoring earnest people with potential and instead put newbies through "trial by fire".

The thing is many people develop their careers by getting themselves into difficult situations for which they're profoundly under-prepared. Some are lucky to find mentors that provide guidance. Some succeed some fail, some take a longer path than others. A very small number decide to fraud their way into a job that they're going to fail at.
Where you italicize "doing", I italicize "seen". Because for politicians what matters is the narrative, not whether there exist a causal link between policy choices and outcomes. After all, politicians get held accountable for the policy choices of their predecessors if they're not careful, and on the flip side try to blame external factors for the fallout of their own failed policies.

I'm not freedom-uber-alles, I'm happy to acknowledge all of politics consists of difficult trade-offs. I think the case for the TSA is especially weak, though, and you seem to agree with me on that. I don't think referendums on these issues would help, because it's too easy to scare people into accepting "temporary measures".
Moleskine Cahier w/ Pilot Precise V5 Retractable.

The notebook strikes a balance of quality (but not heirloom quality so you don't want to touch it), cost, and portability.

I discovered the original Pilot Precise pen in high school for writing left handed without smearing ink. It has been my go-to pen for years, and the retractable version is a welcome convenience.
What you've described is close to Georgism, which holds that people should only be able to own wealth they produce themselves by their own labor, and that wealth from 'rent seeking' (land rents, natural resources, natural monopolies) should belong to everyone.

Don't be disheartened - most industries are like this, and it even has an idiom "fake it till you make it".

My current work allows me a pretty decent look at literally thousands of different IT infrastructure set ups by this point only half a year in, and I'm still explaining the basics of IT administration, infrastructure, SQL queries, and so on to people with the title "Senior ______" and a list of certifications that adds a good 4 MB to each of their emails for all the banners.

Try not to worry about it, and don't enable them either. Be professional, but be firm. I won't promise that they will get their comeuppance or that you will be rewarded, but you can at least leave every day not having to look over your shoulder or double checking that you covered all your bases. In the long run, you'll have the knowledge to do what is necessary for future growth in your career, they will have to keep inventing new ways to fake it.
It's been about 8 years since I've had a cable television subscription, and it now feels really weird that past me was willing to pay $100+ USD/month to have access to television shows filled with commercials. I barely have the patience to sit through a single commercial anymore. Not only am I unlikely to buy any given car, feminine product (as a male), bottle of alcohol, financial product, prescription drug, etc., I simply don't want to reminded 58 bajillion times that I need something I really don't need or want.
Collapse of the current economic and political system as increased consumption can no longer compete with increased efficiencies.

For once. But back when we were thinking about the perils of the internet we didn't correctly anticipate homogenization of media consumption and filter bubbles. People rather thought that it would be the other way around, everyone would have access to high quality information and enjoy diverse (long tail) media content. So we're likely to be wrong about the precise perils here, too.
Am I missing where to put in depart/return dates? I want to try to search for flights, but I keep getting that error message and I can't for the life of me find where to enter in my dates! Great looking aggregator otherwise.
> worldwide paper production volumes are decreasing

That may be true of regular paper and/or the overall production of paper products, but with all the increased retail shipping I would be very surprised if it's true of cardboard.
Well said. One major difference I've noticed between contract and permanent developers, esp. senior ones, is humility.

I think most developers have met at least one so-called "rockstar" coder (or as I prefer, prima donna). They used to be rampant in the games industry, but they turn up almost everywhere. And they are almost always permanent staffers. That's because they'd be fired as contractors.

Contractors are totally used to seeing different coding styles and practices, and dealing with a multitude of personality types. They are also well used to criticism, willing to learn from it when justified, and taking it on the chin when not. Having no political power makes you adaptable and diplomatic, the antithesis of the prima donna.

It's also annoyingly and unnecessarily double spaced. While decent leading (line-height) is an important typographical element for legibility, double spacing is just frustratingly inefficient for reading.

You don't have to be a type setter or poet to care enough to get the basics right for your "paper", learn by example at the least.
OK, I laughed at the Fiverr bit, but I have no idea how someone can cope with living a lie like that. The stress of deceit would cripple me.
If you're not a watch person, Rolexes might look like ostentatious status symbols. However, the flagship watches that they are most known for (like the Submariner, Milgauss, Daytona etc) are all tool watches first and foremost made mostly of stainless steel.

Like watches, some people buy BMWs because they’re actually very passionate about cars and quality. Spend any amount of time on watch forums and you’ll soon appreciate the engineering involved and the passion that people have for these things.
I've seen similar cases, and while they may appear to be successful for astoundingly long periods of time, ultimately most (unfortunately, not all) of those guys will fall on their face.

Realize that your ability to continuously put in the effort required to become really good is a superpower, even though to you its just following your passion. Many people cannot manage this, and its a massive advantage.
Been wanting to move over to python myself. Love the language but don't feel I write pythonic code, so I appreciate your comment.
I had the same issue, actually. I enjoy the town I live in - I'm an immigrant - but my preference is to go to new locations.

The 50 mile (or km) radius is a good start, but I'd prefer it to be an adjustable radius or be able to toggle in country or out of country.

Of course, in-country only might be difficult if you aren't familiar with a country.

I capture on paper. If I'm at a meeting or something, I simply write to paper, then transcribe my daily notes to org-mode at the end of the day. I don't particularly worry about structure when spooling to paper.

Sometimes I'll capture to paper even if I'm sitting in front of my computer. If I've got something complex to reason through, I like the free-form nature of paper. I pretend it's an auxiliary scratch buffer whose contents I will reason about later.

My paper notebook, therefore becomes pretty nonsensical, because it isn't the system of record. I carry it as a notebook because I can always go back a day or two if I got lazy and didn't transcribe the previous day. Also a paper notebook puts on a better show for society as compared to just having a few sheets of printer paper along for the ride at meetings (though that works too). Periodically, I rip previous pages out (if spiral bound--they tear cleanly) and shred them just to restore that fresh notebook feeling.

This one is a better example - https://github.com/vladfi1/phillip. It does not have such perfect reactions and can be trained on a tensorflow model that you can build in a few hours/days by playing against it. Although it plays weird, it plays a lot more like a human than the other bot. And yes, it is very very good - it can pretty easily beat top 50 players.
