Planning tasks works for me. For example - I maintain different list of cards in private TODOS boards. I add the item as soon as it comes to my mind. I don't place a deadline - but I may reprioritize items every week. So, if I have 3 hours to work on something - I know exactly which priority I could work on. I also have a lot of other automated reminders - to an extent that sometimes the list automatically drives me into finishing a lot of tasks. The other part is a Completed list where I move cards as they are finished - gives me a very good feedback when I archive cards every weekend. Apart from this, I also use a time-tracker (for personal use) - It helps me look whether I was wasting too much time.

Once you have a kid - time shrinks. If you thought 24 hours a day was less before having a kid - just imagine. However you also start focusing on being efficient with your time. At least that's what happened to me. You can't work 100 hours a week consistently after a certain age (usually after 30). I don't thrive to work 100+ hours a week, but I am very careful at where/how I spend my 50+ hours a week.
Please tell us the story about your worst interview. I'm curious.
I'd absolutely take sitting for an hour in my own car over sitting on a bus. I get to control my own temperature, volume and smell - plus I get to listen to loads of audiobooks.
There is already a community driven WPF type library. I can't find it on my phone. It was posted on NH like 6 months ago.

I understand that most of you are very passionate about programming and the fear of losing out some stuff is strong... but on the other hand, I strongly believe being 100% THERE for your child while he grows up is a better investment. You want to raise someone who won't lack his father/mother presence..
While you do make some good points, I think it unwise to speak with a negative sentiment about YC... on YC...

An In-Depth Study of More Than Ten Years of Java Exploitation
This article is garbage in that it provides no scientific claims, nor is the scientific community taking this claim seriously. "Exhibiting homeostasis of some sort" is not a very high bar for evidence of life, otherwise every corporation is biologically alive (just please don't ask our Supreme Court).

Honestly this was strongly uploaded in part because the community here is weaker in biology -- a similarly garbage engineering article would never have seen the front page.
I must live on another planet, because the idea of "getting in a few pages" while standing in a crowded train is not appealing. I guess it's better than staring into space for 30 minutes, but I'd hardly call it recaptured time. AudioBook in my own car while in traffic is miles more appealing.
The problem is bus lanes are hopelessly inefficient, because there aren't enough buses to fully utilize them. And if you are stuck in traffic in anything then something isn't right.

If you want to spend resources to make buses more attractive, start by eliminating fares.
In fact, the article contradicts its very title:

> The truth is, despite its widespread moniker, Gaia is not really a hypothesis. It’s a perspective [...].
If Earth is a living organism, then we -- with our understanding of rocketry and biospherics -- would be its reproductive organs. Which means that the Gaia is just beginning to reach sexual maturity.

Organisms hitting puberty are notoriously moody, weird, and confused, alternating between bouts of idealism and self-destructiveness. Looking at the state of the world today, I'd say the Gaia hypothesis, at least in this respect, is holding up.

No, he is just saying that he does not have to worry about being as good. It is just a choice.

I do not have children but I do not want to spend much time learning outside of my work. But some parents like to learn outside of work.

He does not cite any statistics either so you are making a lot of shortcuts.
well... This is a tough one, my baby is 2 years old, he goes to bed at 9pm, at roughly 9:15pm I am on a laptop learning new stuff (Elixir and Phoenix last month), I have fun with new technology until 10:45pm, this gives me 1:30h every day dedicated to learn.

Because I am human I skip 1 day a week to do whatever I want, at weekends I do about 3h saturday and another 3h sunday of learning again when everyone is in bed so I can concentrate better.

This gives me about 12h a week of studying and experimenting with new technology.

The only way to keep up is to be organised and assign your priorities, make sure your kid is at the top, whatever it takes he needs to be at the top.

As a consequence of all this I got to understand how time is important and very scarce, I try to optimise every single free minute, this is a very hard exercise but essential.
Doesn't read like trivialization to me, and I've been in abusive relationships both intimate and professional. If we want to talk about trivializing, we could talk about your implicit equation of all domestic abuse with the relatively rare case where murder a plausible concern, but that's beside the point; what reads like trivialization to me is saying "oh, anyone still at Uber prima facie has ethical problems, I wouldn't hire anyone like that."

Not everyone who could easily change jobs realizes it, especially after being worked out on awhile by a workplace culture that seems to prioritize gaslighting good engineers into thinking they're poor ones - cf. Fowler, and imagine how much worse it is for someone less confident in herself.

Not everyone who realizes they could change jobs does so, and not because they like the shitty culture where they are - Uber uses golden handcuffs, too, and that's not an Uber problem, but a startup culture problem in general.

Abusive relationships tend to end when the victim gets a "wake-up call" - a moment that takes them outside the narrow perspective their abuser has been at such pains to create, and brings home the reality of their situation. There are certainly people at Uber for whom Fowler's article, and the follow-on exposés it's prompted, have constituted just such a moment. And now that they're trying to get away from their abuser, they get to deal with being stereotyped this way? That's trivialization.
In a personal yet not entirely unrelated note, thanks for taking over my brain-sucking gig at Philips back in the days :D
Is it possible to do that and use the fingerprint sensor for login in a secure way? I thought the same as you until they enabled Touch login.
This needs a little elaboration. Cached Javascript in any hybrid app is a security hole because that can be exposed through a jailbreak. Depending on how much of your business logic you've pushed into the JS layer to enable that "80% code sharing" that makes managers go all tingly you may be exposing all kinds of things - cached access tokens, API keys and whatnot - to anyone who wants to install your app and mine its secrets.
The Gaia "Hypothesis" makes no testable claims and can therefore be safely dismissed immediately.
Depends on who you're expecting the MiTM attack to be executed by.

Are _you_ secured against, say, an attacker who works at Verisign and can create a valid cert for api.yourdomain.com? Or an attacker who has a buddy who works at GoDaddy who can subvert your dns records so they can trick LetsEncrypt into issuing a valid cert for api.yourdomain.com? Or an elbonian teenage hacker who's just got your AshleyMaddison assword from pastebin and used it to log into your Gmail account and overtaken your dns registrar account to get themselves a valid ssl cert?
If all machine learning experts use TensorFlow, all the machine learning chips coming out will be highly optimized for TensorFlow. Higher competition among TensorFlow chips = better acquisition prices for Google. They also don't have to go around convincing chip makers to support TensorFlow (like they did, for instance, with the VP8/VP9 codec).

Exactly, the idea of mystical living Gaia does not have any scientific value.

The biosphere of Earth is indeed a huge and very complex system, but it's pointless to "animate" it, it lives according to its own laws that should be studied objectively, not according to some fuzzy analogies rooted in our bias and perceptions (an example of a similar bias: https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Anthropomorphism).

One thing with having kids and therefore very little spare time is that now I really understand and appreciate the value of focus and doing things straight away. No postponing and dragging things out in my private life as well.

I no longer add paragraphs to potential blog posts over a long time. Blogs have to be published as a draft the day I get the idea. Otherwise, over time my opinion changes and the post would be rewritten over and over again and then inspirations dwindles to another mothballed blog idea.

The same goes for hobby projects though with a slightly longer time frame. I force myself to concentrate on only one project and insist on reaching at least some sort of basic MVP before I jump onto the next shiny thing. On my http://code.flurdy.com some projects have a demo site, others where I lost focus do not.

Essentially these same principles are important at work as well :)
it shares some components. like javascriptcore.

difference is the js - native bridge. for react native it is fixed bridge, that can only change with a change in the binary.

for rollout they can execute any native code with an update of the JS.
CIA Python style guide
They want to develop too.. so to the git-mobile, download some game source code, modify everything to rocketjumps and racecars.
They really released VS 2017 without .NET Core support? That seems like a questionable decision, as hyped up as the whole .NET Core push seems to be. Unless they had a mandate to push it out in Q1.
Uber may have given it one for a while.
CIA C coding conventions
Supercell's games and a bunch of F2P collect-ish games also do that, when you open the game they have an update process. I'm reasonably sure that only updates static assets though, stuff like description files and graphic assets. It's actually pretty useful as it lowers the payload of the core engine and lets them do much smaller updates compared to having to bundle it all, that's especially important with things like Unity Frameworks which are not delta-updatable in the store (hence Hearthstone's 2GB downloads every time they add a cardback or nerf a pair of cards)
rollout as well...
Yeah, but I have a lot of stuff outside my home folder. Including /etc/passwd.
Another approach is "how does this suck, and how do you think it could be better?" starts off with a premise of unpolished-edges seeking honest input. Also, only ask strangers, preferably likely customers, for feedback/advice because it can seem a catch-22 to most friends and family.
Still dont get it at all. I installed VS2017 today, dotnet --version = 1.0.0

I go to the dotnet core website, download a new sdk and install. dotnet --version = 1.0.1

Oh and the file is called "dotnet-1.1.1-sdk-win-x64.exe"
Notice yet another version number.

Same thing on Linux. tar.gz has 1.1.1 in the name, installed version is 1.0.1

I'm significantly worse in my job than what I remember from before I had kids. What I miss most was the "deep thinking" mode that I used to get into, when you think about a problem for days on end, and solutions and ideas start popping in your head while you're in the proverbial shower. This rarely happens to me nowadays - the life I have outside of work scrubs my mind clean like a metal brush the second I step into my home. Especially over weekends. I frequently joke about it, but there's more than a grain of truth to it - on Monday mornings I try to remember what was it that I'm working on.

I still think I made the right decision, mind you. I believe having kids and taking care of them is the right thing to do, and will be the most important thing I've done with my life in 10-20 years when a successfully delivered build or a Metacritic point here or there wouldn't mean shit. I just don't want to fool myself or anyone else that my job performance hasn't suffered.

Assuming you're asking about assessing cultural fit, we do a couple of semi-overt things.

First, we make sure that every interviewer, including initial contacts and phone screens, offers the candidate a chance to ask their own questions and I make it a point to state that "you're picking us just as much as we're picking you". From the questions the candidate asks, we get some insight into what's on their mind and they get their questions answered and can form a more informed opinion of us as well.

Second, we generally schedule an informal lunch in our cafeteria (we buy, of course) with the candidate and a 1-3 of our engineers, often from the team they're interviewing with but sometimes just other non-team peers. This is explicitly meant to be informal and similar-level peers, but you can't help sharing data about who we are, how we interact with each other and the candidate, and learning/teaching whether there's likely a good fit.

If you're asking about creating/enhancing cultural fit once hired, that's an ordinary leadership challenge.
Yet that's not what the parent and its parent were talking about/implying. It clearly said "blocking all Microsoft IPs".

And considering the Windows 10 upgrade was being pushed through Windows Update I'm not sure how you'd want to prevent that specific update by blocking an IP and not interfere with Windows Update as a whole.

Interesting that you mention San Diego. I used to live there and actually took the bus to work. But I'd say mass transit is actually better in LA (which I would use while visiting) than SD. In San Diego, busses came generally only once an hour and most stopped running after 7:30pm making it impossible to use them to go somewhere after work. LA buses generally ran all day and every 15-30 minutes. which made them much more convenient.

I'm wondering which of the current top-downloaded FlappyCrush Of Titans clone got caught exfiltrating all their players contact lists or something...
No, they still have terrible capacity. Does nobody do basic math anymore?

And having bus lanes, which can still be blocked, does not make them cheap light-rail. You also need to upgrade all lights at intersections to allow the bus to override the current signal.
But the difference is most binary options is theft. Uber is a legitimate service with bad business practices.
I dont think this community is weak in biology and even if it were its strong enough in scientific method to know Gaia hypothesis is not scientific.

However I do believe its an interesting and useful perspective or model to to guide scientists by as they often, to become really knowledgable at something, have to isolate their subject matter quite a lot. Having this bigger more holistic perspective could have some advantages. Maybe, who knows.

Its certainly not something which is not needed and its certainly not science, but perhaps a kind of ethical framework.
Switching to OS X from Ubuntu
I've hit a few problems using zstd from an early version (0.01?) - compressed files created by the original tools were not de-compressible using more recent programs :(

I think the problem lies in the perl library Compress::Zstandard, rather than in the zstd code itself. The C code has flags to enable 'legacy' support and they they are on by default. The perl library doesn't seem to be using them...

When I get the time, hopefully I can track this down further and submit a patch if this turns out to be the case.

Horses are heavy. Being trampled by one is going to be injurious or lethal regardless of whether or how it is shod. (Most horses will go far out of their way to avoid trampling a human, though; cavalry horses had to be carefully trained into it. Treading deliberately on one's foot is another matter, but, like some humans, some horses are just assholes.)

The idiom refers more to what a roughshod horse will do to a road or trail surface; the nailheads dig in and scatter surface material every which way, leaving behind a hell of a mess that'll turn to deep slush or sticky mud, depending on the temperature, with the next precipitation.

Pedestrianisation of Oxford Street seems to be inching up the agenda. One of the big political objections is that buses are the only disabled-accessible public transport to that area but once Crossrail is operational that will no longer be true.

The buses still have to go somewhere though - the huge number of routes along Oxford Street is not about serving Oxford Street per se so much as about getting them across town. Honestly I'd be surprised if buses were the big source of pollution though - the fleet is quite modern and many of them are hybrids that deliberately run electric-only through the most polluted areas.

> "Exhibiting homeostasis of some sort" is not a very high bar for evidence of life, otherwise every corporation is biologically alive

But that doesn't disqualify homeostasis as evidence of life, as corporations don't emerge except when living creatures create them.

Anyway, as I understood it, homeostasis is by definition a quality of living beings. Many things have a tendency towards an equilibrium, and of course that doesn't have to have anything to do with life.

Am I misunderstanding the claim?

In my experience, it's always been easier for me to implement something once I've seen a working example of it. That's basically what examples are for: A "cheat sheet" for reverse engineers.

Software is only easier to write than read if you have an idea what it's supposed to do. If you've ever googled "how do I do X?", then you likely have reverse engineered the answer you found to fit your particular use case.

In addition, and in some countries, you can't patent software (thankfully), and so innovation comes through reverse engineering naturally.
While I do empathise that people are making a living, I look forward to the day when the black cabs are gone. The amount of pollution they put out is awful.

OK, I'm completely baffled by this. Am I the only one who thinks taking your young children on a conference call is somewhere between totally unprofessional and, well, very annoying? I get that your children are your priority - but surely they shouldn't be the priority of everyone else on that call? Is the work at hand not the priority?

My 3 year old makes a lot of noise and is quite prone to tantrums. Some of my clients are also quite prone to tantrums. Combining the two seems like a recipe for disaster!

That's definitely not the London commuter experience. Almost every train is crowded, and there's a very low chance that you'll get to sit on many trains. At some stations it's difficult to even board a train. Plus most trains don't have air conditioning. It's far from comfortable, but most of the time it does the job.

Also, being "good" isn't simply a function of whether you've read up on the latest tech fad. A lot of the stuff we chase is an incremental improvement (and in some cases a step backwards).

Parenting also helps practice empathy, which is an severely underrated skill in technology circles.
