Dnscontrol: Synchronize DNS to multiple providers from a simple DSL
distributed, or duplicated... each server potentially making that DB request... depending on load adding at least 2-3ms, potentially more. If a given request to a single endpoint needs to touch a dozen more, not including resource lookups and when not everything is parallel... or across datacenters, from the colocated to aws, etc.. it all adds up.

Very short lived JWT mitigates this as the window for replay is reduced, over HTTPS by the time you can crack it, that window is effectively gone. The server can verify a signature on a JWT in a fraction of a second... far faster than a DB call... Not including replication issues.
I opened the QR code with a QR reader, because when I say the app-store buttons, I assumed the QR code was for downloading the app.

You could:

1) Have the QR code contain a real URL, with the Expo ID appended as a querystring.

3) On the server, redirect to the appropriate app-store depending on the browser used to open the URL, or open sketch if installed.

3) Have Expo interpret the querystring to open the correct "sketch".

"In many situations, I simply don't know the right thing to do and the stress from not knowing what to do makes it impossible to be myself because I don't know what to do."

I am with you. When I grew up there seemed people who just naturally fit in whereas others including me simply didn't fit in. When I tried to be "myself" I often did embarrassing things or simple stupid things. There probably are environments where I can be myself but I have never found one.
We introduced googler @t in the latest release to handle that to some extent using Google Site Search. Yes, it would be fun to support direct site searches but it would also be quite difficult to maintain it.

I did give it a shot last week and found the search strings and result patterns of probably every other site different. Just imagine keeping up with changes in the URLs! For a while I thought "why not launch the URLs directly in the browser" to keep it simpler? But then googler wouldn't remain a fun terminal utility to develop anymore. ;)
I think the surfeit of bishopric is a hint that they are irrelevant >cough< - most people immediately see that the pawn promoted to queen gives white the win, a sort of 'don't even think about it' and that the likely solution is for white king to run forcing a draw. Black can only move the bishops back and forth. A dull end to what have must been a very strange game.
Is there some kind of more general grammar that can encode the Markdown spec?
Or, you use the asymmetric key/pair to sign the JWT, and lock your environment to only public keys signed by your DC's cert in your org. If only that was supported by JWT.. oh, that's right, it is.

Nobody has to implement the FULL spec, you only need to allow what your environment needs.

Completely agree with your diagnosis. As for the prognosis, social policy may be a good idea, but it is not what HackerNews readers are best positioned to facilitate. Rather, we should be implementing technologies to faciltate the increase of entropy in information actually and unavoidably collected.

This is a very well-written explanation.

The only exception is when people have access to the underlying container, willing or not. Then these vulnerable binaries can lead to a vulnerable container.

A way to look at it is with the fan-theory that all the games of nintendo are played by "actors" (ie: Mario is a actor that play "Mario Kart" and "Mario Bross" etc).

With this, you can say that all characters, Zelda included, loosely play a cliche but each story is a new one.

This is how Link also fight in Smash!...
There is no need for the scare-quotes around "know" - President de Klerk gave a speech in which he admitted that South Africa had built and subsequently dismantled a nuclear weapons program. There are public IAEA reports on the verification process following SA's accession to the NPT.

(An interesting insight into late cold-war politics is that it was the Soviet Union that tipped off the United States that South Africa was preparing to test a weapon).
This only holds under the (IMHO really strong) assumption that you (with few exceptions) like the changes that other people want to see in the world. I have doubts about this assumption.
I bet Nintendo is just waiting until they can make a true Pokemon game the way it deserves. It was such a magical experience that anything less than that would be a disappointment.

Well, I keep running into CSRF vulns. in the wild, so…

XSS is avoidable by systematically having a framework that escapes any inputs that are run through it. (jinja2, on the server, can do this, though it defaults to not, which I wish wasn't true.) I'm not saying that XSS is much better that CSRF, really; I've seen these, too.

the point (and that of the linked article) is more that either you're not subject to XSS, in which case localStorage is strictly better than cookies (it is default-secure), or you're subject to XSS, in which case neither saves you.
There's a big difference between having an instructor and learning things from a book or video lectures. An instructor can correct your mistakes and give you feedback. A book or a video can't do that.

Some people presumably don't have a right kind of discipline to study on their own. This is why remote study programs can be a lot more difficult to complete vs. on-site programs.

EDIT: There's a known effect, discussed in the Coursera "Learning How to Learn" course, where you read through the material/watch a video and think that you've actually mastered or learnt it while in fact you have not. If you're aware of this and test your knowledge you can fix that but it's another reason why a structured program with an instructor can have an advantage...
You're touching on something that I think deserves some further fleshing out: "being yourself" shouldn't, in and of itself, be a goal. You (hopefully) have actual goals -- learn a new skill, get a promotion, etc. -- and being yourself (or not!) is a tool that you can use to achieve those goals.

Agreed that not being yourself takes energy and focus all its own. So that's a trade-off you make: if not being yourself is a much better way to achieve your actual goal, and you're ok with expending the energy to do that, then, by all means, do that. But if not, then you may want to rethink your goal, or come up with a different way of getting there.
There are numerous attempts at theories of fun out there, but none of them really let you look at a design and know if something will be fun without trying it.

They don't even really give you much of any concrete guidance on how you might change a design to make it more fun if it isn't currently. The best attempts at this tend to be along the lines of looking at certain player profiles and trying to imagine what about your design appeals to those who enjoy that profile.

It's possible that this isn't something we can easily quantify.

what is gained by saying "I told you so"?

There's a big difference between having "no sympathy" (which is what I said) and "I told you so".

"No sympathy" means indifference. The problems of people who didn't pay for fire service should be a cautionary tale, a warning to society at large. As the article said: by now, everyone should know about the city's fire policy. "After the last situation, I would hope that everybody would be well aware of the rural fire fees, this time"

"I told you so" is much different. It's "rubbing it in" at a personal level. I would never say "I told you so" to friends or to random people. I would, however, say it to my children in the appropriate situation. Pointing out consequences of bad choices helps children learn to make better choices.

I'm having a hard time differentiating

In "didn't pay $75", the people who don't pay but still expect to be covered are making a deliberate choice to freeload off the goodwill of their neighbors who are paying. How does a fire department exist if paying for it is optional? There is no 'fire department tooth fairy' that periodically delivers money to pay for salaries and equipment.

Cancer is much different. As you note, there isn't 100% certainly what causes a cancer. Lung cancer is one that can be closely linked to smoking, but even there it's not absolute. A quick search turns up a CDC web page that links 80% to 90% of the cases to smoking.[1]

In the case of cancer, interestingly enough it's once again an issue of insurance. Even when I was 20 years old and working a shitty no-benefit low paying job I still paid for my own health insurance. I was only being paid $4 per hour but I prioritized insurance highly enough to pay $100 per month for it. (Granted, that was 40 years ago, it's much harder to afford individual insurance today without some sort of subsidy or group policy).

In your hypothetical situations, did the stomach cancer or prostate cancer patient have insurance? If not, how is it once again not a freeloader problem? There's certainly no reason to say "I told you so". That appears to be a strawman you invented to avoid discussing the real issue which IMO is freeloading.

[1] https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/basic_info/risk_factors.htm
They already base my insurance rates primarily on my age and what's between my legs (something I can't control and never could control at all). No outrage.

Mining my social data would be a welcome change, honestly. At least they would be trying to use more data points and be competitive.
According to the big five personality traits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits), neuroticism plays against you in most work related settings.

So if you possess that trait, and by being yourself you express concerns, anxiety, show signs of irritability or openly express negative feelings... that's not in your best interest.

If you do not have neurotic personality traits, it might be OK for you to "be yourself".

Now, what the article describes (or prescribes) overlaps with what you see in introductory negotiation training. A good course I've seen is one by Seth Freeman available through The Great Courses plus. You can watch the first lesson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H3PdkezKQ8

Damn, that guy busted his butt. I got a creative writing degree from a decent but relatively unheard of Texas state school, spent a month studying Javascript, got into a bootcamp, worked for the bootcamp as TA for 3 months, then got a ~120k/yr job in the bay area within a month of leaving the bootcamp. I had 3 projects on my resume and absolutely nothing technical to show for the time period prior to the bootcamp, other than a single Intro to CS MOOC.

I always marveled at the people like this that seemed to do so much more concrete things than me. I leveraged my strength - talking, knowledgeably - and that worked well, but many of my peers got in on their technical ability and work ethic alone.

I haven't written as in-depth a blog post as this guy but I have a couple articles for those interested:

1. Linkedin tips for bootcamp grads http://blog.calebjay.com/2016/11/14/how-to-use-linkedin-as-a...

2. Jobsearch tips for bootcamp grads http://blog.calebjay.com/2016/10/18/how-this-coding-bootcamp...

This makes me think maybe I should put together a more holistic article on the entire process.

EDIT: I'll be watching this for a while if anybody has questions on the bootcamp experience, resulting jobsearch, etc.
You can also take the socratic approach and just ask good questions instead of making statements.

Sometimes you don't even have to ask, just mirror your counterpart (repeat his last statement as a question) and make good use of silence. Wu wei all the way.

GFM itself leaves that line unchanged because we don't actually change that option in our implementation — the reference implementation `cmark` (which we built upon) supplies the "hardbreaks" option, described as follows:

> --hardbreaks Treat newlines as hard line breaks

We turn this option on when rendering issues, issue comments and so on, but leave it off when rendering blobs (such as README.md). Both are GFM, one just uses this option to make it more conducive to communication.

Thanks for the link! It's interesting to me that captioning the videos wouldn't have been enough to solve all the accessibility issues. In some cases, the preference to just record the lecture again is obvious, as in "the lecturer pointed to and talked about parts of a drawing without describing the drawing first, making it inaccessible to vision-impaired people".
Yesterday, I played around with CRNA (and it was amazing). This is even more useful. You can get started here, do quick prototype, and as things start to get more complicated, move to CRNA project. Do rest of the stuff in CRNA, and when CRNA cannot handle it, do an eject!

I think that this an overstated case. Back in the "dawn" of online education I worked for a university where one school was swapping to using iPads for all their reading. You sign up you get and iPad with all your textbooks on it.

Initial polling was that students hated it from the get go. They wanted, needed textbooks. At the end of the first semester they did the polls again and, surprise, nobody wanted to go back to dead trees. Books are expensive and text search is amazing.

The Open University in the UK has a dropout rate of 87% [1] I'd imagine that's even higher for online courses.

I can only speak for myself but I would not have been self-disciplined enough to complete the courses that I did during my undergraduate CS degree.

This article is so much more inspiring than the title suggests. The fact that this guy got a job at FutureAdvisor after graduating with a business degree... isn't really all that interesting. But the thought process and out-of-the-box thinking he showed at every step, was awe inducing. Getting a business degree instead of just sticking with something he had already mastered, was both smart and brave at the same time. I may not agree with every decision he made, but the fact that he abandoned well-trodden paths, and instead created his own roadmap, is what impressed me the most.

I would like to respond to "be yourself" with "what do you mean by that?". On a literal reading, it's meaningless, because i can't help but be myself, so it must be a metaphor, but it's not at all clear what for. I honestly doubt that people even know what they mean by it themselves.

If they do manage to explain it, the obvious followup is probably "why do you think that's a good idea?".

Meeting a new and somewhat like-minded group of peers is an element of college that I could not have attained with online coursework.
