I believe the term is midlife crisis.

Yes, identity crisis. If your identity for the last 10 years has been too tied to your role at work, it can leave you in a state of crisis (identity diffusion) when it's gone [1]. In a founder's mind, your identity/self-image can become almost indistinguishable from your company, unless it was solid to begin with. And when your identity has been bound too tightly to an external thing -- and the external thing is gone -- it uncorks a big gaping void of unresolved issues that's been masked all those years. You've likely been acting in accordance with your projected identity -- your persona, your artificial/false-self, your source of pride -- and now that it's gone, your underdeveloped ego (your true self) is left in a state of crisis, caught in a whirlwind between your base impulses (your id) and who you think you should be (your super-ego) [2]. When you recognize what's going on inside and reconcile the two, the turmoil will subside and your reasoned, authentic self will emerge.

This $200MM surely had to be GMV rather than ARR right?
I just rolled out a feature on DynamoDB and when monitoring it, I look at one yeah. Provisioned capacity vs consumed capacity. That's all I have to care about. No CPU, RAM, disk space metrics. Usage can increase 4x and performance is flat. It's great.

The application is less flexible and required making a lot of decisions up front, but operationally it's fantastic.
Is this in an open source project, any link to code using it?
I don't think I've seen this before but good point. I'd have thought use by would be equivalent to best before in that case. Usually the use by is a couple of days, up to a week e.g meat, milk, etc.
> Studies also show that women are paid less than men for similar work.

Yes they do, but don't get hung up on women. Studies also show a beneficial effect from racial diversity.

As for your other question, is your point that studies are sometimes wrong, or that women are worth less than men, or that there's a gap in the market?
My assumption is that there is a 0 missing off of the end of that number.
The local news sites seem obsessed with American politics at the moment, so I assume that everyone is too distracted to notice the power grab.
Yea it was a toy example. Still the overhead is steep for applications that call c ffi often.

The workaround is usually to batch your computations on the c-side (micro-rpc) and minimize the calls (like cockroachdb is doing)
I run a small record label, which i consider my startup despite not earning any money. Some notes:

Truth #3 — the skills that make you a good leader DO NOT transfer to social settings

For me it's the opposite. Learning how to network and interact honestly and with genuine care has completely reshaped my personality. I have such an easy time making friends these days and can, in a given, uncomfortable social interaction, easily distinguish between people being obnoxious and me being the one at fault (stepping over boundaries, being unreasonable, being superficial in my interaction). Ascribing "blame" properly saves you so much self-loathing and miscommunication. I have much greater control of my social life.

Truth #4 — the same charismatic attitude that makes you a good leader also makes you an asshole

Yes, and such is life. People will inevitably misunderstand you if they spend enough time focusing on you. There is an inherent imbalance in your relationship. My solution is to apologise when it comes up, and just always always greet people with respect (i hug) and leave them with respect (it was nice seeing you). Continual courtesy will override occasional mishaps, even the bad, drunken ones. Be honest about not being perfect, and show that you're trying.

Truth #5 — life post-exit is not all happy times

Very true. You really do need external confirmation in your life.
Small thread diversion: I do all my own maintenance (excluding tire replacement).

This is one of the things I loved about maintaining my diesel Mercedes. It was clear that thought and great care was put into fastener choice. (Most) Anything that needed to be removed for service was a permanent fastener. No push-through "Christmas tree" fasteners on parts that needed removing for service; it was a threaded insert and a screw. Where the parts needed a plastic fitting, it was a permanent/reusable expanding plastic fastener, not a push-in fitting.

Contrast that with the Honda that needed less service, but so many jobs involved doing the job and then also replacing the broken one-time or few-time use plastic fasteners (after trying to find and buy it). Similar with my older Jeeps and VWs.

MB seemed to design their car to be serviced for 500K km. Others seem to design it to be cheap and fast to assemble and pass the "initial quality survey" and maybe the length of the warranty period without too many defects.
No, they're mostly making bad decisions. Taking a loan with an average of $500/mo for 68 mo (yes, those are the current averages) on a hunk of metal that's losing value wether you drive it or not? If you're struggling with that, it's not income inequality or evil banks - it's bad decisions.

Suburbs aren't intrinsically cheaper than cities. In places where suburban living isn't massively subsidized by urban taxes, it's far cheaper to live in a city. Just look at the urbanization rates in countries with poor/ineffective central governments. Poor people wouldn't be migrating to cities en masse unless they had a damn good economic reason for doing so.
You might want to read AMOP. It's not build out of macros, but a meta-object system.

It also took a decade of research&development to develop CLOS + MOP. From Flavors and LOOPS to AMOP.
That's a good point. Beepi seemed like they were just way too generous, in general. (See my comment elsewhere in this thread about them allowing you to charge your entire car purchase to a credit card.)
How convenient
These things start off very slowly, and then tend to somewhat exponentially grow and improve over time.

Have a look at LibreOffice. StarOffice was open sourced in 2000 by Sun as OpenOffice.org and started somewhat slowly. By 2004 OpenOffice.org was making steady progress, and had captured quite a bit of market share.

Then the OpenOffice developers and Sun started stymying contributions, and eventually Michael Meeks setup Go-OO with a bunch of patches that made the program easier to use. Then Oracle bought Sun and really pissed off key external contributors so they forked the product and in 2011 The Document Foundation was formed to oversee LibreOffice development.

Since then OpenOffice.org has stagnated and withered on the vine, whereas LibreOffice has had entire swathes of old and cruddy code rewritten and each point release has not only got huge numbers of bugs fixed, but often new features - and often entire subsystems have been rewritten without the end user ever knowing.

So give it time - it's been just over 16 years since it the StarOffice source was opened to anyone. ReactOS has been around at least this long, and due to the nature of the project isn't quite as fast, but each time I read a new release it occurs to me that development is accelerating rather rapidly!

I agree AROS is very much like AmigaOS 3.x and runs on multiplatforms including old Amiga 68K systems. It even has a Kickstart replacement ROM that is legal to use in Amiga emulators.

HaikuOS aims at BEOS compatibility and also works nicely.

First place I'd look is the book(s) that came with your car. Most all of them have a recommended service intervals enumerated.

You can argue whether all of those items are needed, whether items not listed might be beneficial (I don't believe in "lifetime fill" automatic transmission fluid, for instance), but the glovebox is the first place I'd look.
I hear you. I think places like Phoenix, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio.. Well, just about most of the US would absolutely blow the minds of a lot of the commenters here. The way a lot are talking is like they have no concept of the massive suburban sprawl of the DFW metroplex with very few "downtown" areas to speak of.

That is too bad. I was strongly considering them for my next car purchase.
That's not nearly evenly distributed though. I'd have to think for a few minutes to figure out how many vehicles I own.
Yes, read that book cover to cover, it is a really nice book which teaches you concepts, it might not contain the latest features of the language, but it is a great reference book nevertheless
> For example, a variable's lifetime is relative to another variable or function. Why must we create a placeholder name like 'a instead of referring to the other variable by name?

Because they're different namespaces? &'x refers to the lifetime x, which has no relation to the local variable x, the global x, the type x or the module x.

No, I don't have any affiliation with Microsoft and it is not one of my most loved companies. And I'm not the one accusing others of shills of secret ties with companies. I'm also not the one making unsupported claims.

I was born in the EU, got my PhD in the US and finally hard to start as an illegal immigrant in China and worked my way up. This being said, there are opportunities everywhere.

China. Angola. Colombia. Even Ethiopia. There are opportunities out there for the people who are willing to try or who are forced to try. Places, where there is still some growth, some opportunity and the government does not strangle you.

The best incentive may be if there is something that you like. Be it the weather, culture, language, women. Something that touches you. I saw too many people fail in China. This were the people who wanted to eat every day McDonnalds or Subway instead of Chinese food and called the Chinese "savages". Immerse yourself in that culture. Become that culture. Or how the Chinese say: What you can't avoid, welcome!

That's not the current advice. Current advice is that women become aware of what's normal for their breasts, and look for certain specific changes and not the vaguely described "lumps".

> and yet when something more accurate and objective is available

Is it more accurate? Mammograms are sensitive, but have a high false positive rate, especially for younger women.

(All the sites I can find report sensitivity and false positive rates as percentages, which is a terrible way to report this information.)

https://ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/AccuracyofMammograms.html

> Overall, the sensitivity of mammography is about 84 percent [9]. This means mammography correctly identifies about 84 percent of women who truly have breast cancer.

> The more mammograms a woman has, the more likely she will have a false positive result that will require follow-up tests. The chance of having a false positive result after 10 yearly mammograms is about 50-60 percent [22-24].

http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/understand_bc/statistic...

> In 2017, an estimated 255,180 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 63,410 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.

Ann, a 45 year old woman, goes for a mammogram. It returns a positive result. What are the chances that Ann has breast cancer? (Scarily lots of doctors can't answer this question if the information is presented as percentages. See Gerd Gigerenzer's book Reckoning with risk for many examples.)

https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/hp/breast-screening-pdq

> Magnitude of Effect: In the randomized controlled trials (RCTs), for women aged 40 to 74 years, screening with mammography has been associated with a 15% to 20% relative reduction in mortality from breast cancer.[1] Absolute mortality benefit for women screened annually for 10 years is approximately 1% overall, ranging from 4 per 10,000 women who start screening at age 40 years to 50 per 10,000 women who start at age 50 years.[2] Based on the 25-year follow-up from the Canadian National Breast Screening Study (CNBSS), an RCT of breast cancer screening,[3] there is some uncertainty about the magnitude of benefit of mammography in the present day.
That would definitely make more sense. Just today I found out a coworker leased a VW Golf EV last week, which may be more than the Leaf, and they are paying around $150/month.
> I think we should address the reasons people live far from their destinations

That's the point: It's artificially cheap to do so, because driving is heavily subsidized in the US. What you interpret as the deliberate sabotage of the time/money cost to driving is, in fact, an attempt to make driving reflect more of its true cost. As things stand, those costs -- in terms of poorer physical and mental health, environmental degradation, maintenance, material, space, etc -- are socialized, borne disproportionately by people who would, in fact, benefit from more density and fewer cars.

In places where people have to pay even a fraction of the true costs of rural/suburban living, they overwhelmingly vote with their feet.

Devies Awards 2017 for Innovation in DevTech: Winners Announced at DeveloperWeek
It's perfectly fine to like driving. However, any manual driving, and yours too, increases the chances of injury / death for other people. So, basically, pleasure drivers get their pleasure at the expense of other people's safety.

My solution would be to somehow segregate pleasure driving in such a way that people living their normal everyday life are not affected by it -- the same way pleasure shooting / fighting is segregated away from streets, restaurants and cafes to shooting ranges / fight clubs.
I would expect someone throwing that title around to have rewritten most parts of the stack themselves, in several languages; to figure things out or to custom build something that needs a tight fit. That kind of general purpose capability; to jump in wherever and solve whatever problems; means tens of years of focused thinking and coding for most people. To me it's very much about being a potential leader/mentor, official or not; and duct taping what's hot today into working solutions is not the kind of experience needed to guide and teach; not enough perspective.
I feel so old writing this, we lost something priceless along the way to awesome profits.
Businesses are concentrated in city centers because that's where the people (i.e. potential employees) are. Even better, there is a robust market for both employees and employers, meaning people are not stuck in an area where only one company exists and everyone living in a 20 miles radius is not either a coworker or someone working a service industry job that gets half of its revenue from people working at your one available office employer. I don't think it would do much for ones quality of life to have to move every time one changes jobs.

Hi HN! Gmail message ID finder is a small Chrome extension that adds a 'Copy message ID' button to the Gmail message menu. When you click it, the RFC 822 message ID of that message is copied to your clipboard. With this ID, you can find the exact message again later very easily.

I personally use it for keeping track of important emails in our CRM.

Because this ID is a property of the email itself, and not something that this extension provides, it works everywhere. If your colleague got CC'd on an old email you'd like to point them to, you can pass them the message id and it will work for them as well.

It also works great in Inbox and the Inbox & Gmail Android apps.

Ha, I used to work for a large, Asian airline. They had that cool system used to calculate the pricing of ticket in real-time.

No one really knew how it worked, it was built 20 years ago, and no one was allowed near it for fear of breaking it. Therefore, instead of tuning the algorithm, the analyst added their own (mostly arbitrary) rules on top of the system's calculation.

It reminded me of that conversation in Asimov's Foundation, where some guy goes to some planet and is afraid to see everyone using technology, having lost all the knowledge of how it actually works and how to maintain it, therefore seeing it as some kind of magic.

This was in 2015.

The most interesting point in the article is the plan to shift university ratings away from research and towards student satisfaction. I can't see how they can do that without taking away responsibility for grading.
Among its statistics, the article presents that "60 percent of lecturers have caught some student cheating". This is so unusable and misleading that I'm tempted to call the whole article bogus.

Don't underestimate the power of naming things. If you can't name a paradigm you used then your solution is just something that does the job.

The value of design patterns and giving them appropriate name is to have a common language, a basis for communication. Sharing ideas or giving instructions is much simpler when you can actually name something with a few words.

The Honda Accord actually holds value pretty well. It's also pretty cheap as a brand new car, so as you can imagine, it won't depreciate as much as other cars. My figures hold true for most other cars though.
> I disagree. Why not call a duck a duck, and instead invent your own terminology, just because you're in a different field? Mathematicians invented those concepts first, whether you like it or not.

Mathematicians discovered the existence of these structures first and gave them names. Programers also came across them, and there is no shame in giving the structures better names more appropriate to their own field - whether mathematicians like it or not.

> It's actually one of my three criticisms of (OOP) design patterns. Often they are just another names for a contrived way of how to pass functions as arguments, so they are actually bad abstractions.

In the US, about 40% of students who enter college do not graduate [0]. This has many surprising implications.

- Graduating from college, any college, does mean something because many of the people who try can't hack it.

- Big state schools seem to be "of the people" while elite private schools are, well, elite. But they are not so different. Elite private schools have low admission rates but also near-zero dropout rates. Big public schools have high admission rates but also dropout rates in the 40-60% range. They just apply their filters at different parts of the funnel.

- The way to a more educated population is probably not to expand college access. Already, far more people access college than can complete it. More interesting questions are about how we best serve the people at risk of dropping out. The answer might be to make state schools more selective, not less, so that we aren't wasting people's time (and money!) with programs they'll never complete.
