Ask HN: “Why shouldn't I hire you?”
The CEO at my company asks this question in every interview he is in on. What is your best answer to this question?
Yes, you're right! My father was an Air Force pilot and then flew a private plane into his 60's. for 40 years he religiously followed the checklists, calling out and pointing to the relevant part of the plane for each item on the list: "windows and doors, check; wing flaps set for takeoff; seats latched; seat belts locked; etc."

http://www.mooneyland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Mooney_...

I work on medical software now. It's kind of a well known story now how doctors are resistant to using checklists, like pilots do, even though it has been proven in studies to reduce medical errors.

It's an interesting idea that maybe we could employ a form of point-and-call checklist system in software development or operations.
Rethinking the Digital Press Release
Yes, that line came out of arguments with greybeards about the problems of the younger generation and using all these fancy frameworks and wasting memory and CPU cycles.

I will also add the further caveat for anyone else who arrives here that this was written in stolen hours in the last two weeks, and specifically because the page of 'Assumed Knowledge' referred to in the introduction seems to have been the only instruction in the shell given at Epicodus' Intro to Programming. I'll never love Bash as a programming language, but given that it's a tool developers use every day, I do think there's a certain minimum amount of knowledge required to use it well.
Too bad that the whole point of why people do this passive-aggressive pretend-stupid gambit (".. just trying to understand .." is one, and ".. genuinely curious .." is another), is that it's almost impossible to call people out on, without sounding at least slightly uncivil.
That's true in its current state. Remember, though, that they're working on multithreading in a way that ties into their proof from high-level spec down to the code down to the assembly. Googles people are just putting together a kernel with review & testing. They could take seL4, modify it for concurrency, check it with concurrency-related tooling, and still get quite a bit of assurance from original work. Proof no longer applies but most things it applied to haven't changed. And model-checkers for concurrency are among easiest tools to use in formal verification w/ TLA+ getting adoption even by mainstream companies.

Is My District Gerrymandered?
I'm curious what the meta description content value means.
>This department may be doing meaningful work, but it is hardly work that could not be undertaken by local governments coordinating for the betterment of their own residents.

This assumes that what should happen will happen in the absence of federal funding. Can you provide an historical example of when this has been the case?
Thanks. It looks promising. I will check it out.

One specific use case that I have in mind is to stick a tablet with a calendar to the fridge. It should be a shared calendar between me and my wife. I'm wondering how can I achieve that.

From what I see I could create a group calendar in Google Calendar. Then probably me and my wife could have separate moo.do accounts and put things on this group calendar. On our phones it would be easy. But question is how to deal with it on a shared tablet.

Or we could have one account with all our e-mail accounts and share a calendar this way.

One thing that is beyond scope of moo.do is to have an alias per contact. Maybe not for all contacts, but for most services. I know I can kinda emulate this with gmail's address+whatever@gmail.com. There are few problems with it. '+' sign is considered invalid by dumber services that I may have no choice of avoiding. Also it requires exposing main address - removing of postfix is easy. I could dedicate account for this and never use the address without a postfix, tagging anything that came to the main address as a spam.

So it can work, but is a bit tedious, because it is not automated. I would like to have a separate pool for addresses. I then can create a new address/"slot" for a contact. I could use it for some service and if I would ever resign from this service I would remove the address. And if I would ever receive spam on one of the assigned addresses I would know which service is not trustworthy. That would also make it easier to prepare filters.
It's the reverse of "tethering"... ;-)
Isn't that the right thing to do for truly sensitive passwords?

I'd much rather transcribe my financial account passwords to paper, or not log in for a couple days than have multiple months where a vulnerability might be exploitable
Nobody is saying human-level AI is ten years away, people are saying there's some chance of it in ten years. Median 50% estimate is quite a bit longer. But a 10% chance just means divide the impact by ten, and with an event like this that still leaves you with a really damn big number.
I miss the speed and features. 15 years ago email or IRC applications (The Bat, mIRC) started in milliseconds, and had tons of features.

Today webapps take forever to start and are severely limited.
For the UK, I have found that the articles featured on the front pages of major newspapers (e.g. The Telegraph or The Guardian) are very different from the ones featured in my Facebook stream. These are usually highly polar political pieces for Facebook.

It makes sense, on the other hand - an average Facebook reader is more prone to clickbait-y content than a user who specifically targets the front page.

He obviously means that those are the labels used to do the scapegoating.
Cool project. I enjoyed some of your previous books.

Q: what's the story behind your nickname ("Raganwald"), assuming it's a nickname?
One could maybe argue that there has to be some fundamental asymmetry between matter and antimatter. If there were none, you have to find a good explanation why there was not the same amount of matter and antimatter right after the Big Bang and why therefore not all matter and antimatter just turned into photons leaving behind an empty universe. If on the other hand there is an asymmetry and matter is favored over antimatter, then the matter we see today would just be the difference left over after all the antimatter annihilated. In that case there seems to be no obvious reason why regions should form.
Enterprise clients always want to minimize their risk by choosing the closest match to qualifications.
It helps a lot when you have a AWS certificate when the client wants to use AWS for complex workloads.
You can cook up any stories about your past exploits and it would be very difficult for prospects to verify them. However, the certificate gives something tangible to trust upon.
I am not going to contest that, but nothing has came out to support the claim of "systematic organ harvesting in tibet". I work with surgeons who specialise in liver transplant and you usually want to position donors as close to recipients as you could to minimise transport delay, and Tibet is just too far away from where the.demand is.
Assumed it was an April Fool's joke until I looked at the date of the article.
What should a 45 year old who just completed a Data Analytics Masters do?
Hi,
I know you are all resourceful hackers. So I want your thoughts on the following. I am a 45 year old Indian in India who just completed Professional Masters in Data Analytics from IIT Chicago, School of Applied Tech. I have a regular Electrical Engg job in the Ship building Industry (my under grad is in EE) in the govt sector; yet I am interested in CS, Data Analytics and the InfoSec fields in that increasing order of interests. How do you think I should spend my time with my Interests given that I may or may not change jobs as on date (worry about age discrimination in Indian IT).? Maybe I may not be able to go into IT proper with my age. I am not sure. Neither will my company use my skills. What do you think I should do to keep my skill set intact and grow it. I love being in CS, fiddling with Data and Infosec. I am already developing small tools in my job as and when required. Give me some ideas. Thanks for your time.

If pluto becomes a planet again michael brown gets to write a new book called 'If I had killed pluto this is how I would have done it'
I thought about it. The reason I left it off is a lack of static analysis, automatic generation of tests, certified compilers, etc. There's tons of FOSS and commercial vendors for doing such things in C with quite a bit for Ada. Whereas, I could find only one or two products for C++ that seemed like it would be really helpful as opposed to just kind of. So, I pivoted my recommendations to go with languages that have huge, tooling ecosystems in academic R&D and commercial. You can certainly use it but might get less value in long term.

Embedded, real-time Java could also be on the list since Java ecosystem has a verification tool for about everything. CompSci loves Java for some reason (probably mandated classes). Yet, verifiable C and SPARK are closer to the metal than embedded Java plus no Oracle risk. So, left off Java as well.

I've been programming for nearly forty years at this point, and consulting for more than the last twenty.

I've seen each and every one of these "superficial excuses" in companies with 1000 employees or more.

If you haven't seen them, then "being involved in the security space" isn't making you as experienced as you think you are.
When I look at your account history, it's mostly civil, but it does look like you're (bordering on) commenting primarily on political issues. The key word here is 'primarily': that's our present criterion for whether the site is being abused or used as intended. I realize the reason for that takes some explaining, so let me try again.

HN is for stories and conversations that gratify intellectual curiosity (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). That implies a wide range of things that are interesting just because they're interesting. We want people to comment here because their "oh!" circuitry gets activated—not their "burning issue" circuitry. (I'm using that word metaphorically.) It's not primarily a question of the topics since these things overlap, but of the spirit of the discussion.
The English name “Reginald” is cognate with the Nordic names “Ragnvoldr” and “Ragnvald.” I made up the name “Raganwald” in the 1970s—possibly for a D&D character—and kept it as a nerdy nickname through the eras of BBS’s, newsgroups, email, &c.
They say this after years of study of FB and Twitter, but anyone who participated actively of USENET already knows that this is the inevitable outcome.
Regarding the plural first-person, that's perfectly natural: just think of it as a heads-up to the legion of symbiotic gut flora and face-dwelling mites that you're carrying along for the ride. :)
The photons are much more energetic than the cosmic microwave background, the intensity could still be low enough to escape detection.
That article is a completely different kind of "very strong". Our "very strong" is a 1-2 Tesla, the strength of a high end neodymium magnet. Levitation is about 10x higher than that but in practical terms, it's not really that different from holding a big magnet to your face. It does not affect any significant chemical reactions.

This article is talking about fields so high that chemistry fundamentally breaks down and matter breaks into individual atoms. This only happens in neutron stars. It's 1,000x stronger than any field made by humans and 10,000x stronger than levitation fields. At these fields the atoms literally change shape.
how can you code for fun and not know how to code.
This is only even a theoretical issue if 2016 H03 is both in a long term Earth grazing orbit and is not gravitationally bound to it.

If it's only in a temporary orbital relationship with Earth on a geological timescale, then it will eventually be cleared. If it's gravitationally bound to Earth then it's just in an odd kind of orbit.

FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, and Ubuntu Core

HEADLINE: AS112 inspired mirror system

DESCRIPTION: https://www.as112.net/ describes a largely uncoordinated system for providing somewhat localized servers to handle certain DNS zones. It seems to me that something somewhat similar could work for anycasting mirrors of major free software distributions. I suspect that public peering point operators and ISPs might be most likely to participate if a single server could act as a mirror for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, etc. It would be best if the clients were set up to fetch a list of packages and their checksums from the centralized servers operated by the distribution maintainers, and then would try to fetch the packages from the local uncoordinated mirror, and if the local uncoordinated mirror either doesn't have the file or has the file with a bad checksum, would fall back to fetching the file from the official centralized server.
C++ (if not used as C with classes) is built around RAII and will also enforce file handles to be opened before use and automatically closed when leaving scope (no longer in use).

I love how the author accuses the IAU of an agenda, but then clearly has his own--which doesn't seem to be nearly as grounded in taxonomic consistency.

No, this was written by someone who is sad about the redefinition of planet, and so wrote this mis-leading piece about what constitutes clearing an orbit. Jupiter, for example, has 100,000 trojan asteroids in it's orbit.

I don't think the definition is clear, but one asteroid ain't it. I do like the idea of uberplanets.
Speaking right now in to Google Voice typing.

This is great but the problem with it is in the post-postmodern age we live in there is no editorial voice that can attain credibility in the traditional mission of Journalism objective sense.

I'm trying to come up with a solution and I agree this problem is extremely important.

Your site simply offers an editorialized version of the news. Such is insufficient to satisfy the information demand of even a niche Marketplace.

There has to be another Model. News must be more than a single personalized editorialized Viewpoint. This is the age where we using technology somehow find objective truth and we discovered the future of news.

There is no curated list. There was only a value selected on the continuum between totally agree with your own opinions and totally challenging them. Between living in the bubble and living in a larger world. Each person has their own Optimum Comfort level value on that continuum.

There are so many websites. Everything that prospers is based on the evolutionary principle of selecting for competitive advantage. Ideas that are better and more workable are advantageous. News media is a business of ideas. If you wish to succeed in the business of ideas you must have advantage. The future of news media is somehow to give to each individual their own Optimum balance of confronting and affirming viewpoints.

By Optimum we mean that summed over all individuals it maximizes the utility function of the common good.

But system controlled garbage collection is great until it's not. When I need space, I need it now, not when system decides I do. We've seen it with Java, and now with iOS. Yet another thing that iOS does on my behalf that I may wish to do myself.
I've previously written a calendar app for attorneys that was an add-on to Outlook and I recently had an idea for a new type of calendar interface. Time is continuous, so instead of a square grid, a circle would better represent time measurement. Think of the wheel in Wheel of Fortune. There is a circle with squares around the edge. Initially, there are 12 squares with each square representing one month. Inside each square is the name of the month, with the year labelled in the middle of the circle.

In a touch interface, you could vertically swipe the circle and it would spin so you could select your month. If you spun it one complete circle, you would iterate the year, forward or backwards. Double-tap the month, or two finger swipe outwards, and the circle becomes the days of the month, with the day of the week and the number date inside each square, with the name of the month in the middle of the circle. Vertically swipe the circle one complete turn, and you go to the next month. Expand the circle again and you have hours of the day. Two-finger pinch to back out to a higher level.

You could put a symbol or different color to denote existence of an event. If the event is double tapped, the key information appears in the center of the circle, or you could two-finger swipe the event so it took up the whole screen.

In a phone size interface, you would only have to show the center of the circle, and an arc portion of the circle, say 100 degrees on the right side of the circle, like between 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock.

I see that there are some round calendar apps out there, but I don't think anyone has this sort of interactivity. However, I really haven't looked at this idea too closely.

Countries like China don't tolerate that kind of internal dissent, let alone allow it to win sometimes.
It is nationalistic to conflate an individual's morality with actions of the state. Especially in the context of a post by said individual condemning actions of their state. That makes your response also disingenuous.

Not to mention that your response is a classic example of the tu quoque fallacy [1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque
To add to your argument because I agree with you quite a bit:

A post-it stuck on the side of one's monitor seems vastly superior to any sort of app based reminder. It helps that creating the post-it and sticking it somewhere is itself a physical action that is remembered much more than a few taps of a thumb.
Xbox One bug hunting program

It is not about this case in particular, but what often "bugs" me is the fact that there are people discovering exploits in these locked-down devices --- which could open them up significantly --- and actually advocate/report to get them fixed, making them even more locked-down. I understand that some of them are in it for the $$$, but even when there isn't, they still do it. The phrases "digging your own grave" and "locking yourself out" come to mind... it all seems rather Orwellian.
