Hey, documentation (along with device drivers and userland apps) are tremendously important. Without them, linux would have been another toy project and none of us would have heard of it.

Also linux follows in the footsteps of minix and other closed source unix systems right out of Bell Labs, so it's not like he wasn't drawing on a larger body of work. Hard to say he was inventing a whole lot of new stuff as opposed to duplicating an existing refined design. And large parts of what he did write were eventually replaced by others (the scheduler has gone through several iterations now), so those pieces are at least collaborative.

The lone solo genius is a trope for an Ayn Rand novel, not achievement in real life.

The closest thing is a guy who has a mental illness (or should I say non-neurotypical?) and writes code by himself for himself. But I'm sure even he uses stack overflow ;)
You are using the wrong advertising platform for sure. Everything you want to do is absolutely possible, and more. Well, you can't do the twitter one. But you can do that on Linkedin and can easily do the hobby + youtube channel thing. The two problems are that those audience you want are absurdly tiny and would expensive to reach and that since you don't know about these capabilities you don't have a big enough budget to take advantage of them.

Edit: (With programmatic rtb display ads)
I do not understand minimalism or minimalist culture. When I see rationalizations about getting rid of 'stuff', I can understand some of those things, but at some point for me there is a line where minimalism becomes some sort of self-congratulatory narcissism.

I enjoy having friends over - playing board games, video games, cooking meals together, watching movies together, etc. All of that requires some sort of 'stuff': the board game, the television, the kitchen with more than 1 plate. I have more 'stuff', but I am not unhappier for it. The stuff enriches my life through experiences that I have with that stuff.

The author seems pre-occupied with financial concerns - rent for his apartment, cost of cars and clothes - it seems he may be getting more benefit out of the financial security that this minimalism has afforded him than any sort of actual enlightenment through lack of 'stuff'.
Thanks for checking!

Who are you saying no to? From the article:

It sounds like you agree with the author.
How about OpenBSD to vultr.com ?
Yes, but to be clear: it wasn't overbooked.
I tried Sublime and VS Code with plugins, but I found the autocomplete to be really subpar compared to JetBrains IDEs, which I use day-to-day for work. Any plugins for JavaScript and Python that would improve that situation?
I once tried to hire for a MS DBA position. The certified MCDBA's could not tell me what an index was or how it would be used. I was shocked so I went and took the tests myself. There were a few questions on indexes but I could see how someone could answer those questions and forget the exam cram by the next week. We ended up hiring someone with no certs and no degree and he was fantastic at the job.
Is it? I don't have any real data on it, but anecdotally, it seems like Islamic rule correlates very strongly with dictatorships.

Please don't post unsubstantive-indignant comments to HN regardless of how right you are. Such comments are reliably destructive of the quality of conversation we're hoping for. This is clearly seen below, where the thread devolves into a flamewar about genocide, but it happens pretty much every time, so we all need to learn not to post like this.

If you have a substantive point to make, please make it thoughtfully; otherwise please don't post until you do.
I know they remove the worst links and I am not denying that.

They are however replaced with new ones as soon as they are deleted. It is a constant war and the only salvation is adblockers.
I agree. That said there are many corporations that do contribute money, developer time, infrastructure, legal, etc. But not enough IMO.
Daily disposables make the hygiene aspect ridiculously simple: wash and dry your hands, and throw them out when done. They're individually cheap enough that tossing a dropped lens every so often doesn't really hurt.

Of course, when I started I ran into an interesting issue: occasionally I'd wind up pulling them out briefly and reseating them for comfort. Once or twice, that bit me in the, er, eye when an eyelash got inserted with the lens. I wound up trying a couple different brands as a result, before stumbling on my current choice (Dailies Total1 lenses). At the risk of sounding like an ad, they're beyond comfortable and practically impossible to feel. Which has its own disadvantages. On a couple of occasions, a lens got shifted to the side of my eye and I wound up putting another one in the following day. And let me tell you, that's painful as hell after a few seconds.

I just wish there was a similar disposable lens designed to alleviate digital eyestrain. No way in hell would I willingly go to 30 day lenses.
I just wish they'd put some more effort into letting the renderer be used standalone --- I'm not particularly interested in the modeller, but I would really like a renderer with a C++ API that would allow me to play with procedural volumetric effects.

Technically you can use it standalone, but it's not a great experience. There are no binaries, it's painful to build, and the only way to interact with it is via an undocumented XML format; and I haven't found any way to do truly procedural volumes or geometry (i.e. via a density function callback specified by the user).

Right now I have an extremely patched version of Povray, but I'd love to switch to something faster.
You've ignored the point of the post you're replying to. You're looking at the credential as a employee signalling tool, not a tool for other parties to satisfy a business need.

Your HR department needs avenues to sift through referrals and comparison points. If an individual has the certificate and compares equally with a non-certificate candidate, the first individual has signaled, through the certificate, that he is interested in the field, as well as willing to invest time and resources into advancing in that field. This is the flipside of the employee signalling.

If an applicant applies without the certificate to a post which requires it, he will recognize his cover letter/interview should make a point of demonstrating competence in the area of the certificate. This is an instance of employer signalling.

If an applicant fakes having acquired the certificate and there is an easy way to determine whether or not he is faking, then HR now has an easy sieve for removing employees willing to misrepresent their skills to obtain the job. This is a step in the HR QA process.

Some employers work outside the 'work for hire' states. If they contain a certificate requirement in a job posting with enumerated skills, they can point to ineptitude in the certificate skillset as reasons for dismissal depending on the jurisdiction they're in. This is a tool in legal's toolbox.

Perhaps the certificate system is the result of the collaboration of a number of employers attempting to pool credential and training requirements for an industry, then create requirements for credentialing into legislation to control the industry pipeline of workers. This is a method of signalling to legislators or restricting competitors by indirect means.

And so on.

Additionally, your fact pattern has a small problem: expert acting as hiring managers who have knowledge of the problems with the certificate are free to adjust their screening procedure to obtain more fully vetted candidates. The only time avoiding the certificate entirely is when the signal it provides is negative.

This doesn't mean that certs are useful, merely that they might be useful to stakeholders you aren't considering.
The airlines can set up any rules they wish (with the FAA being complicit), because they know consumers (passengers) don't have much choice - they need to fly, driving is usually not an option in the US.

Absence of them when you're a consultant is the issue. Its not that it wins you clients by having them, but not having them might lose you opportunities. Also, not obtaining them (especially if you know what you're doing) shows either potential laziness or "better than everyone" attitude that also is negative. The thrust of that article was exceptionally tilted to that attitude, and I would think twice about hiring someone with such a huge head. I'm sure those guys are good at what they do. If so, take the minimal effort to credential yourself so when people see your name on paper, they have some reference that you know what you're doing. Without it, is the readers imagination.

I have CEH, EnCE, and EnCEP. Doing CISSP this year. Why? Because it makes me stand out regardless. And I've landed clients who were amused by the "ethical hacker" destination. So don't undervalue cert just because of some cocky nerds.
Turkey lost thousands of innocent and defenseless men from Armenian attacks which makes the situation a bilateral clash. So no, I mean banishment.

> Back when he was first elected in 2004, Erdogan was not the huge asshole that he is today. His party actually conducted a lot of useful reforms that were beneficial for the country. / Over time though he slid into authoritarianism

That is the standard practice of authoritarians. Rarely do they announce before being elected, 'if you elect me, I'm going to do away with democracy and become a dictator'. First they get elected, then consolidate power (including by governing in a way that builds political support), and then they seize power.

The fact that he behaved in the way the parent describes doesn't mean he didn't plan to seize power as an authoritarian dictator (and it doesn't mean that he did). If the future authoritarians were easily identified ahead of time, they wouldn't have much chance of advancing their plans.
I wouldn't be surprised if Zoroastrian Parsis had the highest IQ of any group, even though I have no data to confirm that. Higher than Quakers, Ashkenazim, Episcopalians and even Unitarians.
If you want more details, we were packing a Row class into a base64 encoded string using an ObjectOutputStream. This is a fine thing for small scale serialization but sucks at scale, because of the reasons mentioned in the post.
Sorry we don't have code examples, but it's unclear how useful it'd be given that no one else uses our file format. If you want a bit more detail on how the format works. Each metadata contains a list of typed columns to define the schema of a given part. Our map-reduce framework has a bunch of internal logic that tries to justify the written Row class with the one the Mapper class is asking for. This allows us to do things like ingest different versions of a row with in the context of a single job.
I think questions of serialization at the scale are generally interesting, although ymmv. I know of one company using Avro, which doesn't let you cleanly update or track schema. They've ended up storing every schema in an HBase table and reserving the first 8 bytes to do a lookup into this table to know the row's schema.
Exactly! This wasn't the last chopper out of Saigon. Someone would have given up their seat in exchange for more money.

The good news is that it exists. The bad news is that it's HTML/Javascript.
It started out as exile. The Ottomans basically rounded up large numbers of Armenian civilians and forcefully marched them from Eastern Anatolia to today's Syria, in the hopes that separating them from their Turkish neighbors (with whom they were fighting violently) would put an end to what was seen as a civil distraction during war. Countless Armenians perished along the way as a result of gross incompetence and negligence on the part of the soldiers in charge.

If genocide is defined as "systematic and deliberate extermination of a group of people" then it wasn't genocide, because the intention was not to exterminate, but to relocate. Turkey absolutely needs to own up to what happened and pay reparations (even though it is a different country than the Ottoman Empire under which the events occurred), but in my opinion calling it genocide is inaccurate.
My advice would be to ride out the job until you start seeing some revenue. IF you're already working on it on the clock, why not continue? I know how you feel and am in a similar situation (responsibility-wise), and have struggled with the same feeling and thoughts.
I think it's possible utah could move in next 40-50 years from mormon stronghold to atheist/agnostic one actually. -- There's a lot of people leaving the church... because of the CES Letter, and recent church political movements. -- 80% of ex-mormons end up agnostic or atheistic--because they've believed in mormonism as being the 'one true church' or a restored version of christianity and that ALL other sects are wrong, so if your restored christianity is wrong, so too must christianity as a whole be wrong..
Aaron Swartz case...

And a bulling case I forgot the name (they used the same law that was used in Aaron Swartz to argue that the bullying people were criminals because they broke MySpace TOS).

And a bunch of other cases... In US breaking TOS is literally a crime if you keep using the site (it is akin to virtual trespassing).

I think such law is bullshit... but it does exist. (CFAA I think is the law name)
My understanding is that they were police officers. Not Chicago city police officers, but rather the airport authority police officers.
They seem to hire people with law enforcement qualifications:

https://chicago.taleo.net/careersection/100/jobdetail.ftl?jo...

And I imagine they must have some sort of law enforcement authority.

Doesn't mean it wasn't illegal to do what they did though.

I've only seen mathematicians use the terms morphisms, arrows, and domain/codomain. It is true that morphisms and arrows mean the same thing, but I think that's because the term morphism is specific to category theory and the term arrow is from graph theory.

All the other terms here (abstract functions, origin, destination, argument type, return type) appear to be the author's attempt to make the subject understandable to programmers.
> They won't expand Medicaid, are in the process of out sourcing many state jobs (parks, university) and will continue to stick it to working families.

Tennessee also has the lowest state debt per capita of any state, $6,400 versus $20,500 for California. It's got only $415 in unfunded pension liabilities per person, versus $3,250 in California. It's among the top-10 states for lowest tax burden, lower unemployment than average, and higher than average growth in GDP per capita.

Tennessee has made a conscious decision not to pay for public services now by pushing the burden onto future generations. After the governments of places like California and Illinois collapse under the weight of their debts, places like Tennessee will at least be able to plod along offering limited government services in a sustainable way.
Cloud Foundry doesn't have a problem injecting headers, as HTTP traffic is plaintext inside the system itself. It's once it starts traveling across the public internet that encryption is needed. This does make it harder for network edge caches and for middleboxes, but that's not totally a bad thing either.
When I was a child growing up in the Southern Baptist Church system, I struggled with the paradox that the Christian God is supposedly the only god that exists, yet in the Old Testament that same god clearly told his followers that they should not worship "those other gods". I recall asking my pastor and other church leaders, even my own parents, about this paradox and I received non-answers, diversions, a lot of "gee, I don't know" or "you're right, that is strange" responses, and was even totally ignored once by a pastor who was visibly disturbed that a small child would dare ask a hard question.

Of course, as I got older and was exposed to the Internet I was able to research the history of religion and break out of the bubble. I learned that the Christianity of today is nothing whatsoever like early Christianity in its infancy just after Christ's death, and a large part of what is taught in traditional Protestant churches is wholly incompatible with his message. If you follow his commandment that we "love one another, that is the fulfillment of the Law", suddenly all of the -isms have no place in a Christian's heart. Racism, sexism, homophobia, elitism, all violate the creed of "love your neighbor". Yet the most racist, sexist, phobic people I've ever met identify as Christians; yet another paradox to ponder.
> "Where are the (potentially Mexican or Canadian-based) low cost airlines? That's right, none to be seen."

I'm in the upper midwest and we have two or three low cost airlines. Sun Country is the biggest (and based in MN). Spirit Airlines also has a decent presence. Sun Country flies to lots of places. First class ticket to Anchorage cost me ~$700 last time I flew with them, less than an economy seat on Delta.
This only really holds true if you are running OpenCL 1.2 under CUDA.

If you run native OpneCL 2.0 on NVIDIA GPUs you aren't getting a major penalty, there will still be things that CUDA is going to be faster at but that has nothing to do with intentional gimping.
Yeah, and that says more about the perceived value of their content more than their business model. Paying for news is something that basically every household in the US did up until recently so it's a tough argument to make that people are unwilling. But the honest truth is that their content isn't that much better than the ad supported alternatives.
In the case of Facebook, users might very well not know the extent by which Facebook tracks them. In the case of ad-blockers, users (at least those I've met) tend to not know they exist, and are excited to try them out.
Ignoring all the other rather skeptical replies, thanks for all the work you're doing! It's the most beautiful of all the editors I've used and works perfectly across all platforms.

I don't even really see the problem with the demand for new updates. If ST3 stopped now, it's still got an awesome set of plugins and it will remain an awesome editor.

I had one issue with a recent release, that was answered quickly via the Github and dealt with in a day or so. So I can verify that @wbond is true with what he says.
This. So much this. Writing and general social skills are the number 1 thing lacking with people I interact with in the industry. The I know more than you attitude is great amongst peers, but with clients, you don't have to prove you're smarter, instead your job is to make them smarter.

Break it down to a 4th grade level, if you can't, you likely don't understand it yourself.

I would agree that in general certs have too much weight, but the reality of it is, as it stands, they're the closest bridge / standardization that the market has built for non-Security ilk.

Also, Security is not IT. That's another thing that needs to change.

As for OSCP, I think it's great and out of all the certs i've taken for various reasons, it's the only one I felt challenged with, in a good way.
Bose 35 noise cancelling headphones (or similar) should be provided to every programmer who is required to work in an open office environment, and even for remote programmers who have to work from coffee shops.

It's a hustle to find remote work at top pay, not impossible but harder than getting top pay for onsite. When will that change?

I've been remote since August 2015, and it's been a challenge to keep getting highly compensated remote work, but I managed it somehow.
Also, I think there's actually a government regulation which caps it at $1300 or so.
At some point, someone is going to turn static visual (and text, I suppose) ads (back, per the "text" part) into a competitive advantage. Why? Because they actually get through. For the graphics, forcefully stripped of any meta-data and corners of the format that can become mal-ware vectors.

I'll put up with ads that don't move or make noise at me. And that don't/can't try to infect me.

But, no one wants to do that.

Stalemate.

My fear is that, in addition to increasingly locking down the web, the new DRM extensions will be used to force (crap-laden) ads upon us. Content and crap will all get packaged up together, as an encrypted binary. Et voilà, no more open Web.

P.S. Yeah, I don't want to look at gross medical ads, either. So, I guess I have a few more qualifications, personally.
I don't mind you replying, it's no problem.

Edit: seems this doesn't apply because the doors hadn't been closed yet. See below

I found this law which, from a layman's perspective and based on my understanding of the sequence of events, the passenger violated: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/49/46504

"An individual on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States who, by assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or flight attendant of the aircraft, interferes with the performance of the duties of the member or attendant or lessens the ability of the member or attendant to perform those duties, or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be fined under title 18, imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both. However, if a dangerous weapon is used in assaulting or intimidating the member or attendant, the individual shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life."

If a flight attendant asked him to get off the plane and he belligerently refused, that would seem to be a violation of this law.

Note that I'm not arguing that the original request was justified OR that the police response was justified.
WeChat had a lot of competition from Chinese mobile-first messaging apps when they started. It was by no means easy for them to scale and drive user growth.
I was really commenting on the part of the title "...a reporting and management problem", and on the comments in this thread splitting hairs over whether it was overbooking or over-selling - and completely missing the bigger point.

Which is understanding the cause, not looking at the symptoms.
