I'm going to say something that might be wildly unpopular among ambitious people: If you have a full-time job, you are by far not a passive consumer. You presumably contribute >40 hours every week of creatively demanding, high-quality labor to society.

For most people, the premise of this question is wrong. Procrastination, when you don't obviously have a lot of available time and effort, is a symptom that most of your creative energies are already spent elsewhere and are unavailable for other high-energy pursuits. I commend the effort to organizing your remaining free time to produce something of societal value, but for most people this is an exercise that will in the long run lead to burnout. Your mind is already subconsciously telling you this.

I know some people who have energy levels that allow them to sustainably burn the candle at both ends, but they are a small minority. I am quite envious of this group; they appear to have a big leg up in accomplishing great things, but there appears to be a component of either genetics or upbringing that leaves only a small portion of people with this capability.

If you are not in this minority and you strongly desire to produce more creative output outside of your full-time job, there are two options: You can set small goals, e.g. spending 3-5 hours a week of dedicated time towards your pursuit, or putting everything else in your life on pause for a year or two while you go at it with all your effort. The latter course of action will likely not be sustainable, and you have to listen to your mind and body when it's had enough of it.

My preferred choice would be to get a job that pays enough to sustain your lifestyle but has much smaller hours (e.g. 60% or 40% of a full-time position), if this is at all possible. Most places, sadly, it isn't an option. If you can organize this, you free up a significant portion of your creative energy, which can then be used for other ambitious goals.

HN is very dominantly US (both in sponsorship and membership), so that doesn't really invalidate the point at all.
Interesting, imho this clearly goes into the Twitter direction of following certain accounts, not "thematic subgroups".

Not sure if a widespread use of this would encourage my reddit usage, I usually visit certain subreddits for certain topic - and that not very often. But then again following tweetstorms and hashtags on Twitter is pretty much useless to me, that's why I follow certain people.

I wonder if Trump could just manage to find a way to get him by force, meaning enter in the embassy with armed guys and capture him, at the cost of a diplomatic incident, as long as there is no loss of life.

I mean that's exactly the kind of thing I would expect from Trump. I don't know if it is technically possible, and if he would find people to do it.
That's precious; I wonder when we'll be hearing about startups saving millions.
Yes! h always returns a memory address to a VNode. In C++ this address is reinterpreted in a VNode, that contains others VNode as children. If you decide to manually manage the memory, you can implement some interesting mechanism to diff vnodes and create vdom trees.
To do this, I have to develop some APIs that allows you, for example, to replace a children with another and so on. This is certainly on the roadmap!

This is bad. Teaching is an incredibly stressful job and putting more pressure on teachers only causes them to leave to schools in which their effort pays off.

Children need to be taught to take on more autonomy for their grades and other outcomes in their life. It's okay if they need to be spoon-fed a little bit when they first join a school, but they must be weaned off this if they are to have a chance in the "real world".
The "15" is a link to a test case which shows the 15 commands. It's a contrived scenario in my opinion: it assumes that you want to merge a feature branch into the main branch while you're in the middle of working on some other, unrelated feature and have uncommited changes in your working directory.
The readme also alludes to a file system by terminalcloud which is also apparently named TFS, and doesn't explain what the T is supposed to stand for.

Really poor choice of name. If they wanted a modular replacement for ZFS then call it MFS or ModFS or something...

Assange is free to leave the wardrobe he's been hiding in to escape a rape charge for seven years whenever he likes.

The fact that post-consequences egotistical Kremlin-collaborating Clinton-sabotaging democracy-undermining nutcase thinks the law doesn't apply to him is surely his own problem. Because it does.

To say he is detained is, simply, a lie.
As opposed to an "aged" account with karma 4 that made a few vanilla comments a month ago and is now here promoting Washington Post on Reddit? :)

It's a shame they didn't mimic CMOS construction instead of NMOS. A 65C02 made from discrete parts could have run at full speed, wouldn't have required dual-gate MOSFETs or other weird parts, and could have plugged right in to the original 6502 microcomputers.

As a bonus, it could have operated statically -- not clear if this one can or not, but I'd guess not, if they were truly faithful to the original 6502 schematic.

Still a cool hack, though!
I would ask if you think uploading videos to youtube that you feel obliged to produce for the sake of being 'productive', is really contributing to society.

We have a glut of online content. For every tweet that illuminates, there are 9 that constitute meaningless chatter, background noise that serves only to obfuscate the good stuff.

The freedom that the internet has given people to communicate is a wonderful and empowering thing, but the idea that we must 'produce' something to be contributing to our world is just wrong, in my opinion.

If you have free time, why not do some volunteer work in your community? Most countries have, for example, charities that help connect lonely elderly people with others to meet, say, for coffee once a week. I would say that represents a contribution of significant value.

When wikileaks was launched, I thought that Assange was such an idiot that it would never get off the ground. How wrong I was.

Note that Wikileaks did try to redact the material they got. So eventhough they messed it up, they tried to do the right thing.

Wikileaks was supposed to be a platform for leakers. To get their material out. Wikileaks is not supposed to be balanced publication that tries to compile some sort of truth.

So in that sense, given the original goal of wikileaks, they just had to publish those documents during the US elections. It would be different if there was evidence that they got documents damaging to Trump and refused to publish them.

So, Assange is an idiot and best not invited to parties. Wikileaks is probably a bad idea. But none of that warrents a complete abuse of the legal system by Sweden. And also a complete violation of basic european human rights by the UK.
You might want to listen to and look into the women who are making the allegations. Also, "rape"? Really? For refusing to use a condom (which is BTW, the alleged crime)?

No. Git tries to be agnostic to your workflow. Also, some of the commands are tailored for github, which is not the only git host. See gitlab, gogs, gerrit, etc...

I assume they're targeting more than just ARM and x86, given they're talking about "truely portable AES implementations" in the README[1].

It's ridiculous to blame the students in this case. If every single student failed, that is either a problem with the teacher, or a problem with the test.
I like to keep Git puristic. I have only a few aliases, because I want to operate on every machine the same way.

Git can be intimidating for newcomers. In the last two years, I noticed the pattern that I only use a few essential Git commands in order to resolve a handful of scenarios. I have written them up: https://www.robinwieruch.de/git-essential-commands/ Maybe it helps some people to get started.

I can't defend this from being called a puff piece. However, I am bemused by the fact that that description was not for a Temple of Dog video.

That is, for all the vitriol in your post, you didn't really pick an excerpt that backs your point. That part of the article doesn't claim that this video pioneered the look. Rather, it asserts it as a solid example of the look pioneered by Alice in Chains that came to define much of that era.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Do it :)
So true.

I'm blogging one a week about dev stuff and it takes 2-4 hours depending on the topic.

I met a few devs with family and children, and they were blown away by my commitment.
I don't believe the headline and report. (The schools include "Excel Academy" and "Achievement Academy". Statistically, zero proficient students at any of these schools would essentially have to mean not one student can spell the name of their school.)

Sorry. No matter the shape of their bell curve, the article is sensationalist and cannot possibly be correct. What's their source? How can such an absurd fact be so?

Edit: I thought proficient meant "competent" (one of the definitions). According to the article, "Just one student approached expectations and scored a three." whereas 4 and 5 on the 5-point scale were deemed "proficient.". However, I still have trouble believing it. This includes graduates. At Frederick Douglas, just one of the schools surveyed, "half the students graduate and just a few dozen will go to college". Apparently we are to believe that among all these schools, with all its graduates, and all its college attendees, not 1 student scored a 4/5 in English and Math. That's not how bell curves work.
If you do your own line wrapping, then I'm pretty sure you don't need to do any text measurements. To get the kerning information for a given font face and size you can cache the widths of all character pairs ("AA", "AB", "AC"). Last I checked just summing the width of character pairs in a string would get you a width estimate accurate to the pixel, even for reasonably long strings. You don't have cross-platform pixel-perfect text rendering anyway, so you don't need to be 100% accurate. Maybe you're already doing this, but if not it's worth exploring.
Swiss voting to ban nuclear energy
John Pilger actually puts "rape investigation" in inverted commas. This is misogynist fuckwittery of the first order.

Assange is FREE TO LEAVE THE CUPBOARD HE'S HIDING IN TO ESCAPE A RAPE CHARGE WHENEVER HE LIKES. This is literally the EXACT opposite meaning of detained.

Let's go over this again since Assange fans are largely misogynistic rape-apologist gullible fools.

1. He has been voluntarily hiding in a cupboard for seven years.

2. He's been doing this because he was accused of rape

3. In the U.K. and Sweden we consider rape a serious crime

4. Hiding in a wardrobe does not exempt him from answering to the crimes of which he is accused

5. He skipped bail losing his followers £60,000 in surety

6. Bail skipping is a criminal offence; he is wanted in the
U.K. for that

7. If he ever leaves the wardrobe he's hiding in he will be arrested and charged for bail skipping

8. Sweden may reopen the rape investigation until 2020

9. Now the rape charges are droppped it will be easier, not harder, to extradite Assange to the US

10. The US has made no formal extradition request yet, but given Assange's role in collaborating with the kremlin to sabotage the 2016 US presidential election, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to.
For pedestrian uses, yes. But it could be used in more specialized applications that already require a lot of attention. E.g. commerical airplanes.
I agree. That's why at the start of the year my side project was learning advanced Haskell topics. And now I've said f'it I'm not enjoying that and I'm setting up a Shopify store instead. Polar opposite side project!

How else can they profile me in a brand new job, in a brand new Windows installation, in Firefox, if I'm not logged in? The organization I work for has a lot of different job types and we're all proxied through the same external IP so they couldn't even profile my job type.

I got relevant results in my first day there. I didn't notice a drop in result quality.

Google is just that good even if I hate to admit it.
It's not that simple.

I wasn't saying you should blame the students: all schools should teach children to take charge of their education and future. This often doesn't happen.

In this case, the natural response will be for the school system to put pressure onto the teachers. This will cause them to leave. The children will then be educated by supply teachers, and the school will have to recruit new teachers into a highly disruptive environment.

This process already happens without the additional press. Often an excellent teacher can move to a school with more classroom disruption and find that they're unable to get through half of the materials that they prepare. This is frustrating.

It's easy to understand why teachers leave schools like this. They remember the schools in which they got kids from low grades to high grades and had the peace in mind to do creative lessons. It's upsetting to be in a situation in which you can't get control of the classroom, are constantly 'ragged on' to work harder, and are held completely responsible for the results of students who make no attempt at all to take part in the lessons you prepare.
Makes several sweeping claims that I have not heard before (case against Assange was corrupt, Hilary Clinton supports ISIS). Would be more convincing if he would support these by evidence from neutral, trustworthy sources.
I followed two rules to shift from a consumer to a producer:

1. have a fixed amount of time to read HN, Reddit, Twitter, Email

2. have a release schedule

The first rule helps me to keep the consuming time to a minimum. Only once in the morning, after lunch and after work I check the recent (!) updates on all necessary platforms. It can be hard in the beginning, but at some point it becomes a habit.

The second rule helps me to stick to producing. I blog about web development and self-growth and therefore I have a backlog of ideas to write about. Once a week I post an article.
I read the TFS github landing page and it didn't explain what the 'T' stood for. I then noticed the author's name is "Ticki"[1]. Therefore, I can only guess that TFS stands for "Ticki's File System".

For some animals yes, but not for all. It seems that for some birds is more like a sink, constantly recolonized by birds from other zones that die quickly. Chernobil is unique in many aspects, as a defy, an economic burden for all european countries and an opportunity. I think that should be declared as the first supranational european park, watched and cleaned as soon as possible. Radioactive animals living in Chernobyl travel across all europe and migrate towards the nord also so is a problem for EU, and also for the countries belonging to the old Soviet Union that can't be managed for one single country.
Every parent in the school? If it were a problem with a handful of students maybe, but if every student fails, there is a more systematic issue at play.
Hmm, seems like they don't quite understand how Reddit is supposed to work. I mean yeah, they're not breaking the rules yet. Their articles are mostly being posted to their own profile rather than subreddits (though the way it's going now, the 10% rule will be shattered sooner rather than later).

But they're making the usual company mistake on the site. Treating communities as a pure advertising platform rather than a place to engage with the members on their own merits.

They could be commenting on threads that relate to their industry or topics they've wrote about with interesting answers or sharing things that help make them appear as more 'in touch' with the public (like say, Sonic the Hedgehog and Wendy's do on Twitter). Or moderating a Washington Post subreddit where they feature submissions they think help out their publication.

But they're not. They're just advertising the site endlessly on their user page, and making sure every post they make outside said page is an ad for their publication.

Honestly, they're lucky Reddit is going down Facebook/Twitter/whoever's route and trying to be a company friendly advertising platform at the expense of a community or community platform. Otherwise this kind of behaviour would have got them kicked out near immediately, especially on an old school forum or mailing list.

Well, that depends. I have never used a better OS. Period. I have never used a better Filemanager (Directory Opus5 Magellan II, now available as Directory Opus 12 on Windows, which is birlliant, too), Texteditor (GoldED Studio), IRC client (AmIRC), email and news system (UMS), YAM, NewsRog. Raster-image painting is, especially if you want to work at the single pixel, unreached.

Now, web-browsing and office is another story... :-(

The OS came with a default scripting language, a Rexx derivate, called ARexx. Most applications would support it, meaning, you could fully automate them, extend them to do things, the programmer never dreamed about. Since all was using the same scripting language (and Rexx was purposedly designed for inter application scripting, its creator called it a language for job-control, you had access to all environments (DOS, Application Hosts, shared libs) within the same script. Man, did I create workflows... :-)

You could mount FTP, HTTP, your audio-speakers, raw memory, or whatever you wrote a device-driver for, as a disk. No need for any VFS library/framework. I've never seen such good ramdisk implementations. The system default one was volatile and dynamic, it was always there as a volume on your desktop. The other ones were configurable in block/tracksize, non-volatile and you could boot from them, if you wanted (nice for games back then, when floppies were slow and you had a game, that ran from 4 floppies. You would unarch them to the Ram Disks (which was quicker than loading them hard) and reset the machine. Voila!)

And now, that you can run host-applications via AmiKit, it seems to make sense, to run it as your main environment. I did not test this part of AmiKit, however, so I only can assume.
