Huh, interesting. Guess it's pretty logical, given how awkward the rule was (a promoter could easily get round it just by submitting a bunch of low effort stories for every one of their own they post) and how it kind of punished creators more than you'd expect.

Hopefully this means more mods will take a good look at someone's profile and work out how much they're actually contributing to the community rather than running a bot against their submissions and counting them.

We are also extremely good at convincing ourselves that things are "true". It is extremely easy for a smart enough person to rationalize almost any personal or "deeply held" belief.

On the other hand some things are within our purview to decide and act upon if we believe in them and they feel "right", no rationalizing or justification required. I am always suspicious if I find myself rationalizing a belief or feeling. But if I simply enjoy it or it seems "right".. I just stop thinking there. Mostly these are things that only impact oneself, and not others. I think when choices impact others more analysis is then required depending on the nature of the decision.

Models can be very risky to apply to why we think a certain way, because they are almost always wrong. Or they can be more right than wrong, but wrong in very impactful ways.

I've been recently updating my front-end skills in javascript with webpack, npm, ES6 syntax, standard JS, etc. and thought that the conway's game of life would be a nice little application to put this into practice. I tried to code it cleanly but it's not perfect so any comments are welcome :)

It should be mobile friendly and work on any modern browser (tested with firefox 53 and chrome 50).

Ev Williams: Platform for everyone to speak freely doesn't make world better
I agree. At the peak of the "upgrade to Windows 10" onslaught, disabling updates was the simplest way to avoid forced upgrade. Users had many reasons to object. Fear that older machines would screw up. Fear that critical apps would'nt work. Fear of increased surveillance. Or just basic "You can't make me!".

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.

Isn't that the definition of contributing?
I am currently learning Elixir. Weirdly the thing I am blocking the most is the functional aspect. I don't fully get why `List.get_elem list, 1` is superior to `list[1]`?

Condensing the quote into the title was hard--here it is in full:

“I thought once everybody could speak freely and exchange information and ideas, the world is automatically going to be a better place,” Mr. Williams says. “I was wrong about that.”
> The quality of Google's search results has already gone down, thanks to results being personalized based on previous searches and other data, a feature it seems no one asked for.

Actually, I appreciate that feature very much. I like that when I search for Python, Google knows as a programmer I mean the language not the snake. Doubtless there are herpetologists who appreciate that Google knows they mean the snake.

It sounds like part of the problem is not wanting to commit to just one of those tasks (assuming that releasing YouTube videos weekly would make it hard or impossible to also contribute to open source software, and write for a blog, etc.). If that is it, then I'd simply say "don't worry about it". A YouTube channel with 2 useful videos isn't a failed channel, it is 2 more useful videos on YouTube. Most visitors won't care whether or not you have 0 more or 100 more videos, or blog articles, so long as you can solve their current problem (whether that is entertainment, or instruction, or whatever).

Make sure to find something you enjoy doing so it's not just more work.

Don't confuse "being productive" with "seeking numeric social validation". For example, why would you make more videos? Is there content which you once wished were freely out there and can now provide yourself, or would you just feel better getting 100 views and 10 likes on a video you made instead of reading a book?

The money came from taxes, but taxes must be progressive. To tax the same to all people regardless of their income is unfair (and to punish people when they purchase goods and services is clearly stupid).

Take in mind also that you need to advance the VAT to the government each three months. Including money that could be still unpaid to you (or worse, that will never be paid because some big clients can blackmail small companies easily in that sense). This is a problem for a small company that is thus forced to eat the loses and lend a money to the government, even if they do not really have this money. Is bassically sucking money from the people that create and maintain jobs.

Reversing the Technical Interview
Has anyone done an analysis of the number of logic bugs in ZFS and btrfs vs. memory safety or concurrent updates to memory, etc.?

Also, I'll point out that Apple just dropped a new FS on millions of devices, with no issues... that was developed in 3 or 4 years. I'm still blown away that they pulled that off.
It was an entire year before third party apps were allowed. I think the first iPhone and its stock OS and built-in apps stood pretty well on their own compared to what was around. I recall getting an iPod Touch (the iPhone wasn't available in Australia until the 3G) and the Google Maps application (at that point written by Apple) and mobile Safari were just mind blowing for the time (remember that not only were capacitive touch screens rare at that point, multitouch was still just something most people had only seen in research videos if at all).

Because with more expressive constructs, you may find not having to write list[ix] very often. For example, a traditional "for" loop may be replaced more succinctly with an operation such as "Enum.map" or "Enum.filter" [1]. Data transformations made more obvious.

Coming from imperative languages especially (speaking for myself), have to re-think/re-learn how you write code, but it does end up being a worthwhile investment

How come? Apple issues security updates for older desktop OSes regularly. Furthermore, apple does not install new mac releases (e.g. Sierra) automatically. You have to install the Upgrade macOS app from the App Store. Sure there is a big banner above the security update screen which advertises the new version but you really do not have to install it. And it certainly does not trick you into installing it (in macOS, iOS is different). It just makes it easy and obvious how to upgrade.
I used to be very actively involved in the ColdFusion community, and heard the same criticism when I'd encourage others to expand their skillset.
Ignoring the silly reddit-style rhetoric and getting to your underlying implied suspicion: On the contrary, the perspective I was offering, if understood, would tend to deflate the value of statements that the government spoon feeds to the media, often intentionally and through anonymous officials.

The problem is that many people don't read the NYT literally. They read the statements as vetted statements of fact about the matters at hand, instead of vetted statements of fact about statements.

The NYT knows this. The government knows this. So they use it to advance their agendas. Not that their interests are often aligned, but they sometimes are. And when their interests are not aligned, they still try to use each other and use the basic misunderstanding many people have about facts about statements versus facts about events. I do believe the NYT tries to be factual when a close reading is done.

Windows 10 has two update channels. Under "Windows Update" > "Advanced Options" there are two separate settings to delay "feature updates" and "quality updates".

Only in a limited definition of effective metro areas. There is a swath of extremely low population agricultural land that you must travel through to get from Ann Arbor to towns like Canton which are clearly in the Detroit metro. By some definitions, this would place Ann Arbor in its own metro. Another interesting factor would be the commuting ties between the areas.
I feel like this is something where I should probably read the whole Privacy Policy and possibly the ToS before using it at all.
The company I'm working for moved away from hetzner coz it has a single location and far too many noisy neighbourhood. Hetzner was often target of DDoS and our connectivity was also affected.
We have a lot of experience with Hetzner servers and I used and recommend this hoster since at least 10 years intensively with tens and hundreds of servers.

The most important thing with Hetzner Servers is to monitor everything very closely:

- CPU Temperature

- RAM

- Disks (SMART)

- Software- and Hardware raids

- Network (interface) errors

The servers are usually consumer-grade hardware components which have more often issues under heavy load so you have to expect down-times and broken components. However, if you are aware of that and you can easily shift around that with your software Hetzner will save you serious money (10 to 15 times cheaper than GCP and AWS). Also to mention is that their customer support is first class if you tell them all required details and exactly what to do. Usually they respond in minutes and do hardware replacements within an hour and small downtimes.
Total server spend on my last startup was like $150 a month on GCE. So saving 75% is useless if it cost me even 2h.

Fwiw I started on DO and migrated off to get better stability and block storage / proper load balancing. Which DO has since added.
Who cares. Who cares if the face on vogue Germany isn't German, or the one on vogue US isn't American. Get over it. Who cares if people become indifferent to paid influencers.

They have this, it's the LTSB release of windows. You can't purchase a license without a larger contract though. PicoKMS is a thing however...
I think because they're aware Microsoft released a patch for Windows after XP, they're thinking as though XP can be the only one affected by the ransomware. As we've learned, that logic doesn't work since people turn off updates.
This is tangential at best, but a) I've been thinking about it for some time and b) someone reading this thread may actually know: why are there differences in punctuation rules between languages? Comma placement before certain words in a particular situation, hyphen-related rules, quoting, and so on - there may be differences even within a single language, and differences between languages are even bigger. How come?

The punctuation - or more specifically, the commas, their placement or absence in certain places - is the last thorn my brain hurts over when reading and writing English. I read a sentence, and I feel like I'd trip each time I see a comma where there shouldn't be any. Like walking a rocky road or something.
If you're at a large organization though, there's plenty of other computers behind the firewall with you, including possibly some compromised ones.

Thanks for clarifying your reasoning. I would agree that the landscapes and climate along the west coast are fabulous for tourist destinations and nice to have otherwise, but they don't seem to be as strong of metrics for daily quality of life, at least from speaking to my family members who have lived in multiple areas that you mentioned. There are a lot of resort towns (including in CA, among other states/countries) that excel at these but are otherwise poor areas to live in.

Then again, some of the family I was referring to are moving back to the west coast, so I completely understand that we can value different things.
>The worm reused the meterpreter code which didn't target XP at all

Small nitpick- though the worm aspect of WCry does have a lot of issues with targeting WinXP, the meterpreter part of that sentence is a widespread myth that originated from poor wording in a slide.

> Another mistake people make is thinking that burning out is like dying, and you can't recover.

Speak for yourself, buddy. I'm still trying to overcome medical issues from my last bout with burnout, including sleep disturbances and stress-related gastritis, and so far the medical profession hasn't had much luck in dealing with any of them.

Burnout and the stress that goes along with it can absolutely do lasting damage to your body.
I code, do ham, wine, gardening cider, bread, pastry, cooking, music, bike fixing, knitting, sometimes write and compose.
The secret: being ruined and not having money for buying any of these goods.

For sure. I'm not suggesting anyone else shouldn't; on the contrary just asking if Git Town goes both ways, and whether squash merge is more common in practice?

I would have assumed that a regular (not squashed) merge is more common, and easier to do, because it's the default behavior of "git merge". It takes extra git commands and/or extra non-default arguments to git merge to get a squash merge. My GitHub also doesn't default to squash merge, IIRC... Don't you have to choose squash merge or be told to use it, if you don't otherwise know or care?

It's not too hard, with a bit of diligence (and a phrasebook), to get a contactless card as a foreigner. Although it is still easiest to add value with cash through one of the station attendant booths.

But this was a failure of the government to fund the required security for the NHS.

Perhaps, though a lot of the later reporting I saw suggested that the situation was far less clear than it initially seemed. For example, the vast majority of the systems affected by the recent involuntary encryption problems were reportedly running Windows 7. An update had been made available on that platform but only a few weeks earlier, so in some cases it was still in review before being deployed by IT departments etc. For home users affected by similar attacks, there have also been various problems with getting Windows 7 updates deployed in timely fashion, not least because Microsoft borked the Windows 7 update mechanism for a lot of people a few months ago and even systems set to automatically install important updates may have been silently failing to do so.

In any case, this is all rather academic. You and I and no doubt many other people reading these comments on HN might understand the technical issues involved, and we might have reasonable discussions about different strategies for updating systems to mitigate such threats. The average non-geek reading the paper just sees "Your local hospital Emergency Department was closed this week, with ambulances rerouted to other hospitals 20 miles away, as a result of evil people doing bad stuff that made the computers stop working." If the government promises to stop the evil people doing bad stuff so hospitals can carry on helping people, that average non-geek is going to support them, blissfully unaware of either the prospects for success or the unintended (or, more cynically, unadvertised) side effects.
It's not a hivemind, it's people expressing their frustrations. In this industry, it's easy to feel safe in terms of income, so naturally people seek fulfilling needs from higher up the Maslow's pyramid.

And a typical programming job is not really doing anything useful for the society except maybe extremely indirectly. At best, it's not actually harmful.

Personally, I've been through plenty of webdev jobs, and almost always, it was building a copy of something that already exists and is better, so that our company (or our customers) could compete in the same space. If I ever met a potential user of such service and my bosses weren't looking, I'd actually direct them to the original competitors. It would be dishonest to do otherwise. It's jobs like these that can make one feel they don't contribute anything useful to society (making your boss richer by building a copycat product in a global market is hardly useful for people other than your boss).

Well, it's great that you found out your boundaries! Most people never do things that push their comfort zone and never find that out, and live their lives wondering what it would have been like.
