You're right that the problem has to be solved through subtle manipulations in the environment. That's why terms like "directed collaboration" have become "corpo-speak".

Many of us have had "open-door" bosses and we've found out that they're actually not unlike "shut-door" bosses or bosses who haven't stated a door-type. The difference is that open-door bosses are professional managers who know that framing the environment in approachable terms makes their job easier (or are at least hypnotically copying the actions of those who know this), even if "open door" doesn't actually mean "open door".

Being "open door" doesn't change the overall situation though, it just makes it easier in the unlikely event that someone will want to come talk to you. Bosses still need to analyze their employees carefully and attempt to coax them into revealing their true feelings.

Consider that even in the most intimate relationships, like marriage, people frequently hide their true feelings for years. If they can live like that in their marriages, they can live like that in their jobs, too. Don't let problems fester.

If you wait until the time that your employees are coming to you under "open door" pretenses, the problem is usually pretty bad; you've waited too long to discover and fix it.

Corpo-speak has become detested precisely because normal people see the hypocrisy and condescension in them, but in the real world, this doesn't seem to matter much. I guess people prefer to hear the version that they don't really believe because it leaves open the possibility that you'll choose to honor it in their case.
The difference is that NAT doesn't track the counter party, so after you reached out to the DNS, any other service can use the opened port to connect to your PC.

With a stateful firewall, it tracks that the port was opened only used for the DNS server. If a connection to that port from a different IP address than the DNS server is made, the firewall will block it.
The number of node packages there are is deceptive when it comes to measuring the js ecosystem. It's better to count how many packages are well referenced, which might be a number as low as 10k.
One the reasons I know about and use mandrill is that my framework's documentation had 3-5 quick install options and I really picked mandrill at random. This is a bit also like how stripe operates. It's free or dirt cheap to prototype indefinitely. Making sure popular frameworks have first class support (or at least obvious, easy to use installation instructions, and or great API with great documentation) could be a lot of benefit. The UI's inside those applications allow my support and non-dev technician staff to review data, refund payments, resend emails etc. without me having to build them an interface to use.
Poe was also a pioneer in the use of sound effects used to induce feelings in the reader....
Poe also apparently believed that some sort of rhythmic, cyclical sound was involved in the afterlife...that sound occurred several times in circumstances that were linked in his works to the afterlife.

That "Which Python?" is an important question and that the existence of two versions of Python can make finding correct information harder is one of the reasons I am not wild about recommending Python to beginners -- particularly those who are going to be learning on their own.
I don't use facebook, but that seems like silly advice. if you're going to unfollow everyone, then the primary value prop is gone.

each time you bother to manually check on someone, you could've just called/emailed/messaged them. at that point you might as well delete your account imo.
I posted a poll to Facebook asking how many of my friends had deleted Facebook; apparently not a single person has deleted it.

Well, at least it's shorter, so there's that..

Contrary to every comment so far, after I stopped using FB for some time, I've now started to use it again. It is not that I care much about what dinner some random friend is having, but I've started to use it to publish some photos that I take with my smartphone.

I don't care much about the upvotes, but as I do a lot of walking on the mountains around my house, I now have a kind of a motivation to snap a photo, add some effects or change the colors a bit (on the phone itself) and publish.. :)

Oh, and there's someone I follow who posts a lot of beautiful places on my country, places I eventually would like to go..
Making an assumption from the FAQ.

When you send the email it generates a unique hash it places a tracking pixel (1x1 transparent gif image) served off a canary mail server into the email with that hash. For a period your client queries them for the a yes/no on if that tracking pixel with the hash has been downloaded.

That is typically how email marketing platforms do it, and it appears to be consistent with the FAQ.
Sure. You speak of "naturalistic fallacy" — that "natural" order of things is not necessarily good. I agree. With this in mind, I would like to know what is your definition of "good" is. Utilitarianism?
I would thoroughly recommend trying some modern Audiobooks if you have not tried them yet. It may remind you of your grandmother but seriously, they have replaced most of my entertainment. I even got a waterproof speaker to listen in the shower! The full cast audiobooks are especially awesome. I have "read" just over 500 books since 2009 so no idea how many hours I have lost in total!
>I do think it's silly for operators new/delete to have a separate free list from malloc()/free().

They don't. This is a custom, simple, non-default pool allocator for standard containers (i.e nothing to do with new)
I define "social stability" as a state in which people within a specific society don't kill each other in large numbers over questions of resource distribution. At least based on that view, it's obvious why this is a good thing. Except if you own a spaceship or an island far away so you can leave if things get too hot - then maybe you find the goal of maintaining social stability unnecessary.
Spoken from the privileged position of not having to worry about it like it is of little concern to those who do. I'm leaving it as an exvercise for you to think of analogies to other aggrieved groups that would not take kindly to being told their concerns are invalid.

Just vocal ones. Not being on Facebook is met with bewilderment usually, so online its easier to find other people that are relatable by speaking up. Many people that are tied to Facebook share the same woes and may be looking for more inspiration about how to simply live without Facebook.

So there's simply value in saying that you aren't on it, when these kind of threads or sound boxes pop up.
Yes - though I think it's in the same way that DropBox is just a variation of rsync.

That is to say, yes, but I think I'd like the proposed solution so much more.

I did the same thing. Still have Messenger, but without push notifications.

It works beautifully. The immediate FOMO fades quickly.

Nothing of value is lost. Real friends and important info finds a way to get through.
I have the exact same feeling about Films. I wonder if there is a specific name for this? I always say I seen every film combination possible before I was 14. People will say of course I haven't, but they are talking about the fluff. I know what the film is going to be instantly, and if it doesn't turn out like I planned, it isn't enough of a difference to care.
Facebook is great to find out what family and friends are doing since virtually everyone is using it. That's all.

The browser may disclose part of the JSON content in a "parse error" error message. A window.onerror handler could catch this message.

I believe that some browsers used to do that some times ago.
Sadly Homebrew is terrible for this, the developer guide for how to get the hash for the files you're downloading is literally to just test run the download with an empty hash in the brew file, and it will calculate the hash from the file on the website. In this case Homebrew would not help, as galad87 mentions here https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=14282116&goto=item%3Fi....
I've ended up just moving the messenger into a fluid (osx) window on my status bar and not having the site in my browser all the time has helped a lot.

Being able to pop down just the messages with a click and back off straight after means I'm only going to the site every other day to check the notifications for a few minutes.
I remember a professor who equated smartphone use with smoking, he told people to go outside with the smokers if they wanted to use their smartphones/Facebook.
> But the model makes clear that no further escalation is possible. That is because active ad blocking runs at a higher privilege level than publisher code, so it cannot in turn be disabled — at best it can be evaded.

This is arguable. HTML5 EME can be used to mix ads into video in realtime. EME must run in isolation, so even browser vendor can't implement neither active blocking, nor ad detection. Still banners also can be implemented as video elements.
Instagram might be a better fit though?

It is also really useful for teaching someone how to use webhooks if you are a SAAS provider writing API docs.
> The only reason it goes to one and not the other is something random like the order the routes are defined in the file?

To be fair, that's not random, that's pretty explicit. And if you're optimizing for speed, short circuiting at the first match is a good idea.

But if you're using a router, chances are you're passing the segments as arguments to some function or method anyway, so route /a/*/c and /a/b/c should both wind up returning the same content if the second segment in both cases is 'b'.
Probably just vocal ones - I still use it, but I have a pretty healthy relationship with it, and the internet in general from having had to keep away from it while in Marine Corps training, and actively challenging myself to refrain from logging in for a period of time as an exercise in self-control.

I will casually browse it now and then to keep up with how friends are doing. I pay attention to some FB groups and post there sometimes, but they are groups on things I am interested in. I'll post one update every few days so people know what's going on in my world. Most of my time with FB is spent on Messenger though, as friends and I chat and organize get togethers there. FB is really convenient in this regard since there's less friction with being FB friends than there is with asking for someone's number.

I don't worry about having to always check the internet though - if I'm busy doing something, the internet can wait.

Crap code that hit undefined behaviour every other line (like accessing dead temporaries or freed memory, assuming stack layout, out of bound accesses, etc.).
I agree. I'm inclined to think the concepts are more subtle, not less.

Some traits are shaped by sexual selection because of their deleterious effects. It's an honest signal: if you can survive despite having that crappy trait, you must be really robust!

You can't conceptualize that as a fitness hit, because of what fitness means in the context of evolutionary biology. But you had better be able to conceptualize it somehow, because it's interesting and important if true.
There are some things that seem odd about this author's terminology.

> ...the evolutionary mechanism behind this novelty is not adaptation by natural selection, in which only those who survive pass on their genes, allowing the species to become better adapted to its environment over time. Rather, it is sexual selection by mate choice...

In natural selection, it is only individuals which mate which pass on their genes -- surviving is no good if you don't mate! It is my understanding that sexual selection has been classed as a variety of natural selection. If the species sexually selects itself to a point of maladaption, it goes extinct -- just as if it was maladapted to its environment for any other reason. Notably, these birds are not there: they still seem to be okay.

> In the absence of direct costs to the choosers, the population will not be saved by natural selection. Because the cost is deferred, the whole population can ease further and further into maladaptive dysfunction, generation by generation.

This seems to be treating natural selection as a game of one round, or describing a situation where there is almost no capacity for variation in the species. But if it's really true, that the species is in a kind of dead-end, where the most successful mates are the most maladapted, and there is little capacity in the genome to remedy this situation -- as the females could develop a different standard of attraction, or the males some other method of attraction -- then the effect of natural selection would be to extinguish the species. This is, in some sense, how "progress" is made in natural selection -- as much by elimination as anything else. This leads us to:

> Instead of ensuring that organisms are on an inexorable path to self-improvement, mate choice can drive a species into what I call maladaptive decadence...

It has been said by many more well informed than I am, that there is something specious about an "inexorable path to self-improvement" with regards to animals. Animals become more adapted to their environment; but they don't become "better animals" since a change in the environment leads them to be worse adapted. The subtlety is that, traits may be gained, and then lost, and both were "better": to gain fur as the earth cooled, and to lose it again as the earth warmed.

And finally I must ask, where has the author shown the birds are maladapted? They fly awkwardly, sure -- but what difference does it make for them?
Windows already supports sandboxing old api applications, through something called AppContainer:

> Isolation is the primary goal of an AppContainer execution environment. By isolating an application from unneeded resources and other applications, opportunities for malicious manipulation are minimized. Granting access based upon least-privilege prevents applications and users from accessing resources beyond their rights.

I'm not sure why this is not really used. Maybe requires some recoding from the original developer, maybe it's too inconvenient and creates frustration for users.

Even with file systems permissions, there are a lot of problems. For example, a transcoding app like Handbrake should be allowed access to users files, but ideally it would only be able to access VIDEO files. Any attempt at reading any other kind of file (source code, text files, password stores) should be forbidden. This requires a very expressive permissioning system.

Different people are trying to get different things from Facebook. I use facebook but disable notifications and unliked all pages/companies. Crippling the annoying parts to them allows people to have their Facebook cake and eat it too. Without being bothered by stupid notifications mid bite.
Perhaps we should take NYTimes advice a step further and stop letting them make us miserable either. There is nothing actionable in the news; next to no utility. News is simply a time sink that depress your spirit. Whenever I think of reading "legitimate" news like the NYTimes, I am reminded of this quote from a Soviet novel by Bulgakov. In it a doctor gives advice:

If you care about your digestion, my advice is [sic]
never read soviet newspapers before dinner.[1]

Over the past few years, motivated by the above quote and other reasoning, I taken a few experimental fasts from the news. During those weeks I found myself at no disadvantage that I could detect, but I did feel better and more productive.

I want to know what any possible transaction can do. See my sibling comments.
The destructor does not deallocate memory in C++, since it is called just the same for objects allocated in other ways.

It's also not a given that such an object even has a vtable. It's perfectly legal for it to not have one, and the memory is still supposed to be deallocated in full (only the base class dtor is invoked then, but if derived class additions are trivial, it's not necessarily a problem).

Now, yes, you could add a separate vtable slot for the deallocation function. Or just store the object size directly in the type info (that's usually attached to the vtable). But this is really just a way to optimize size storage for objects that already have a word utilized for shared type descriptor like a vtable.
I agree! Good points. Financial literacy is next on my list, personally (any recommendations?).

As charged, it is a utopia I was picturing, but I often like to mentally dabble in that terrain as I find it can expose potential paths forward. Sure, the envisioned Utopia won't be the actual destination, but its artificial brightness makes bumps that I normally easily miss suddenly salient.

It also pains me to have to sift through all the meta noise. But some examples do stand out. patio11 is one.

I recently found about Tyler Tringas, who has open revenue numbers, is profitable, and specifically focused on making the business as automated as possible to have time. He was going to write and sell a "metabook", but decided against it precisely for reasons of credibility. He's publishing it for free at https://tylertringas.com/micro-saas-ebook/.

Another one is Jason Kester, who wrote about how he did it for free on one simple blog post here: http://www.expatsoftware.com/Articles/guy-on-the-beach-with-...
