The problem with this is that it forces anyone who finds an issue into investing the time to understand the code-base. I'm assuming this developer uses other OSS libraries and I wonder how many of these projects he contributes PRs to if he finds an issue. If you're going to play this way you need to make sure you're not a hypocrite about it (I would have looked but the author didn't actually link to Michael Jackson's project).

It's obviously much more efficient for a few experts to understand each OSS library.
Did this close to twenty years ago. Ported a COM DLL to Linux and one of the executables using it.

I implemented everything it needed. COM functions like CoCreateInstance, entry points like DllCanUnloadNow, Windows Sockets and whatnot.

The registry API! Ha. I mapped HKEY_CURRENT_USER to configuration files rooted in the user's home directory, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to /etc.

The lib's DllRegisterServer nicely registered its COM class inside the fake registry.

Don "COM is Love" Box would have teared up had he seen this.
[CVE-2017-5868] OpenVPN Access Server: CRLF Injection with Session Fixation
You definitely don't need TEFL to find a teaching job easily in Japan but it would give you more options.
I taught in language schools, a junior high, and did corporate classes as well.
It's also quite easy to get hired from abroad, and getting a job while on working holiday/travel visa is a bit of a grey area, although I know plenty of people who have done it.

If I can suggest, from experience, skipping the initial 'just teaching English' thing and apply for undergraduate/graduate school here and teach on the side. I made more money from scholarships (very easy to get) and teaching than I'm making now as a salary man.
Tangentially related:

I was recently reading the autobiography of the CEO and one of the founders of Sony, Akio Morita. Sony Japan has been famous for having uniforms, like many other Japanese companies (which Steve Jobs really liked and wanted to emulate, except the idea was shot down early on. He did apply the idea to himself though, which is where his famous look comes from).

Many people would ascribe this as Sony being a typical, paternalistic Asian company - however, the reality is a bit more subtle. Keep in mind that Sony was started right after World War 2, in a Tokyo ravaged by years of bombing:

"When we started the company, clothing was scarce and expensive on the black market. People came to work in an odd assortment of gear; returning soldiers wore bits of their uniform or old-fashioned suits that had been saved for many years. If a person was fortunate enough to have a good suit, he didn't want to wear it to the office where he might risk burning a hole in it with acid or soiling it. Some of our employees just didn't have the money to invest in a work jacket. So with company money we bought a jacket for everyone to wear in the office.

Pretty soon these jackets became a symbol of our company family. As the company prospered, we could have done away with the jackets - we used to have a summer jacket and a winter one - because we were all being paid and could afford our own, but everybody seemed to like the idea, and so we just decided to continue to provide them. In the beginning, we executives had a different colored name tag from the others, but we eventually adopted the same kind worn by everyone else.

Today these jackets and tags are being used everywhere, even where class distinctions made people hesitant to wear them at first. Many of us liked our blue jackets, and I still wear mine occasionally."

If you're serious about getting to know it, I would torrent some level 1 CFA study material and skim it in bits and pieces. Really though, I would avoid it. This jargon can rot your brain.
Psychology is under a replication crisis.

Is CS under the same ?
The author definitely seems to be assuming that every project fits a single profile - small enough to have only a single maintainer, simple enough that a non-specialized programmer can navigate it or create a patch easily, etc. If turning off issues works for people like that, good for them. But this kind of thing really grates.

"If we want to include more people in open source, I can't think of a better way than getting open source code on their machines and into their editors."

Wrong pronoun. The author presumes to speak for "us" in open source, but doesn't really represent anyone but himself. For most of "us" getting more people involved requires quite a bit of work explaining how the code works, how the tests work, and so on. Anybody who's not putting in that kind of effort, even if it's because they don't need to on their personal hobby project, should STFU about what "we" can or should do to get more people involved in open source. Try working on a big, complex, multi-person project in a less-obvious specialty, and see if "just load this up in your editor and get back to me when you have a patch" will work.
How Running a Business Changes the Way You Think
What about single men? They don't have a slave wife at home but still can manage to perform well. I think your comment in biased on what you assume on men, as if they were privileged idle dreamers. But guess what they're not, and they don't make a fuss for everything they're doing.
I'm a little sad that this would require me to use the 1Password cloud-service. I would never want my 1Password vault to be on any server outside of my control. While I completely trust agilebit's intentions, I feel that their cloud service adds a very major attack surface. Someone like the NSA would certainly be able to obtain copies of the encrypted vaults, which means that everyone's vaults are just one bug/backdoor in the cryptographic stack (remember Debian RNG bug?) away from being exposed.

Hence, I only use WiFi sync for 1Password. It would be nice if 1Password added a sync option through my own WebDAV server. I'd then be happy to pay for a 1Password cloud account just for the TravelMode feature, as long as the vault data itself wasn't stored anywhere outside of my control. Having my own server would mean the the NSA (or whoever) would have to do a targeted attack on me personally, which is a whole different ballgame from everybody's encrypted vaults sitting on agilebit's servers.

In the meantime, if I had to cross the US border (as a non-citizien!), I would probably delete the whole 1Password app from my phone before crossing, and then restore the entire phone from backup afterwards.
Plenty of moving parts in a car, but the vast majority of them are metal and most with pretty forgiving tolerances.

Fast spinning mirrors aren't particularly hard, but the tolerances are pretty unforgiving. Being able to tell if a car is partially in your lane at 200 meters is a pretty small angle.

Cars take quite a bit of abuse over their 100-200k mile lifetime. Vibration (at numerous frequencies), huge temperature variations (120F to -20F or so).

Not sure I buy that Lidar is better than cameras for cars. Especially since they are cheap enough for you to have a dozen of them. Better price point, and more likely to have the same limitations as eyes do (to fit social expectations). Sadly society seems more focused on failures than a strict rational decision of deciding if a technology is worthwhile based on the numbers of lives saved vs lost.

Sure, if someone can make a solid state lidar using the lower frequency light (so they can use 40x stronger laser) it might compete. I'd still worry about blind spots because of fog, smog, snow, sleet, rain, blowing dust, sand storms, etc.
Best meeting story ever.

I met my wife in a physics lecture, and she credits me with her sticking with engineering, but your tale is better.

Important question: did she end up learning vi after that?
I guess this was about scripts and fonts (because others are obvious cases).

I did a test, beside IP address also User-Agent, Accept-Language and Referer headers were sent.

Perhaps not good for very precise finger printing but still more that you claimed and can be cross correlated with other requests with more precise information.

Google has claimed that they do not use this cases for tracking. One can believe this statement, or one can prefer to not do.

Moving parts and economy of scale. If you want to buy an industrial 1D LIDAR off the shelf today, you're looking at a few thousand dollars. A galvanometer scanner like these guys use is again, several thousand dollars (just look at Thorlabs for a basic system). InGaS array sensors are also not cheap.

Frankly I'm skeptical that a galvo based system will last long in the real world.

In principle, flash LIDAR solves all of the problems. You can image an area at long distance in real-time. It has no moving parts and it's presumably amenable to MEMS production. Basic (non-MEMS) units from people like ASC cost tens of thousands. We just need someone with a serious bankroll to develop one. We saw exactly the same with Time of Flight cameras. Microsoft bought Canesta and suddenly a $5k+ camera cost $100.
> It must be [...] easy to understand why you're asking.

This is the most common place I've seen the pattern you describe go wrong. Sites that ask me for seemingly unnecessary information are asking to be left.
I remember, everyday I'd get dressed for work. Business casual collar shirt or button down shirt. Dockers pants. Colors were pretty dull. Light blue. Red. Gray. Black. White. Black shoes. I'd have an assortment to choose from and that is all I'd ever wear.

Since having been moved into a cubicle, however, where I am visible less than half the time, only seen when I go get a free drink from the fridge, use the bathroom, or take a walk outside, I have been dressing much more casually.

Decent shirt, but probably less than business casual, sometimes as casual as a Pink Floyd or a shirt that I got at a concert. Jeans. Sneakers. Summer=shorts. A lot of times, I'll just find a nice casual shirt and wear it for 3 or 4 days if its fairly clean. Clothing is just the last thing on my mind when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. I know I have to do it in order to go out into the world, but I don't really care what it is.

Of course, my supervisor does warn us if corporate is coming to visit for the day, for which everyone tends to be even more dressed up than usual. But that is just the way our office is. I've worked around the United States.. it seems like the East Coast and Midwest are slightly more strict in wanting people to dress business casual, and be clean-shaven, while the West Coast and Mountain areas are more lenient, and doesn't even seem to mind a mustache or beard, though either should be somewhat groomed.

East Coast/Midwest: tattoos should be covered.
West Coast/Mountains: tattoos are okay as long as they are not offensive.

Just today, I walked into Walmart, and a guy who looked like the manager is loaded up to his neck in tattoos. I don't remember ever seeing that when I lived on the East coast.

Thanks for a perfect example.

Do you propose that everyone should behave as if they fear being taken to court for frivolous suits? Coca Cola has a specific bar to meet if their claims will succeed. They're entitled to exclusive use of the term as trade dress (they own trademarks around it) but they do not control every use of the word, especially in reference or outside their market.

So I'll ask: What do you think should happen in court?

Chevy Volt could be a great option. One of my coworker has a first gen model and while the autonomy on battery is not that great, gas consumption is low a 3L/100 km.
This is not just me making assumptions based on my life. I have read quite a bit about this and had classes in, for example, Women's History.

When I had a corporate job, I successfully got my teen/young adult sons to take over the women's work so I could give more to my job. I felt it benefited all of us more than them getting crappy entry level jobs that didn't serve their goals in any way. They agreed with my conclusion.

Also, your comment seems awfully close to an ad hominem. It is dismissive of me personally and does not really bring substantial argument to bear.
I checked out the homepage & read the "Taking a Step Back from Oden" post. This project certainly had some high ambitions. Thanks for sharing.

I know a guy in Toronto who used to offer loans from the Caymans to Chinese CEOs secured by 2x stock. If they default, he keeps the stock. So they take out a massive loan then immediately default. He sells at market, anything above half is profit. $100Ms.
3D printing is a far cooler technology once you ignore the maker-community and the ridiculous claim that home 3D printing is going to completely revolutionise life for the majority of the population. Being able to 3D print a custom-patterned plastic cup is fun and all that, but the real game is stuff like 3D printing for industrial prototyping, medical applications, and so on.
This is perhaps the most amazingly honest reply I've ever had here on HN.

Thank you brother for having the courage to be honest and for inspiration.
"High quality" and "high price" are about the last thing I think of in relation to JC Penney and Sears. I've always thought of them as kind of lowest common denominator, lots of private label poor quality stuff that's perpetually on sale.
> But when I need clothes, car parts, electronic components, computer parts, any physical product with a non-zero chance of failure or an immediate desire really - knowing I can try something on or walk in 10 minutes later and return something and get it replaced on the spot is a killer feature - one that online shopping cannot replace

For most people, getting ready to go out, getting to the mall, parking, walking to the store, browsing, buying, then getting home - the total amount of time required for that is way more than ten or twenty minutes.

Re "non-zero chance of failure", that doesnt mean that there's necessarily much of a chance of failure, so plenty of these are fine to get online
I'm breaking a 4 yr HN commenting-hiatus to post this: it's a bit disappointing to see how the quality of HN comments has deteriorated over the years. Virtually all the comments I'm seeing here are sensationalist sentiments/anecdotes, backed with no facts, reverberated in an echo chamber. This is a plead to the HN moderators to continue to iterate on your product to improve the quality of the comments.
I think you can buy app store gift cards with cash.
That's a good calculation. http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2007/EvanKaplan.shtml backs up your facts and claims that a raindrop is actually more like 6 mm, which makes the straight line view much longer.

However in the rain, on a highway, we have water falling, water splashed up from the ground, a mist formed by cars, high humidity, and a wet layer on the outside of the car. These factors reasonably could impact this device if the laser is emitting at water's absorption frequency.
Exact steps to getting press for your startup
sctb, I honestly don't understand why you are threatening to ban me.

It's not an ideological talking point that people who die earlier due to health problems don't cost extra in pension funds. It's just a fact: if someone dies at 55, he won't cost a pension system which starts paying out at 65 a penny. fpgaminer posted much the same thing.

Nor, I think, was my aside about taxes being enforced with violence an ideological talking point: it's a fact that any law is ultimately enforced with violence. I honestly don't see how mentioning a social cost in the context of cost-benefit analyses could be considered a violation of any of the HN guidelines.

I'm not trying to derail or be argumentative; I'm honestly trying to understand how a fair moderator could threaten me with a ban for my comment.
TSA is not the same agency as CBP. They don't receive the same training, encounter travelers in the same situations, enforce the same laws, or execute the same authority.
I can see this working if your project's target audience is developers. But for most projects where the target audience is just regular users, most vastly prefer a simple CRUD form to create an issue.

Checkout some of the issue I have in my repo: https://github.com/sergiotapia/magnetissimo

They are valuable insight into the problems people have, and if I asked them to open a PR for every problem I would most likely have 1 or 2 at most issues open. Everybody loses.
I don't feel 100% qualified to dive in too deeply with my own words, but this article dives right in: http://nymag.com/news/features/69129/

The crux seems to be:

> [The] hipster—and the reference here is to Norman Mailer’s “The White Negro” essay for Dissent in 1957—was explicitly defined by the desire of a white avant-garde to disaffiliate itself from whiteness, with its stain of Eisenhower, the bomb, and the corporation, and achieve the “cool” knowledge and exoticized energy, lust, and violence of black Americans...

> The hipster, in both black and white incarnations, in his essence had been about superior knowledge—what Broyard called “a priorism.” He insisted that hipsterism was developed from a sense that minorities in America were subject to decisions made about their lives by conspiracies of power they could never possibly know. The hip reaction was to insist, purely symbolically, on forms of knowledge that they possessed before anyone else, indeed before the creation of positive knowledge—a priori. Broyard focused on the password language of hip slang.

> The return of the term after 1999 reframed the knowledge question. Hipster, in its revival, referred to an air of knowing about exclusive things before anyone else...

The rest of the article is sort-of a history of various trends in "hipsterism" over the period from 1999 to 2009. But this is quite a digression from the dominance of jeans...
If there is high turn over then the length of the learning curve is more important than the shape of it. Let's say there are two apps each with an employee starting, one requires two full days of training to be 90% proficient, the other allows for an instant start with a more gradual learning curve.

After 30 days of employment the first has spent 28 days at 90% efficiency, the other has had 7 days at 60% efficiency, 7, days at 80% efficiency etc.

A gradual learning curve could be much worse for companies with a high turn over.
No you can't be detained indefinitely (unless they have evidence to charge you with a crime). You could have your devices confiscated, and as a non-citizen, you could be denied entry.
There are people in the mental health profession who can help you with that.

I don't really want to pry any further than that, nor encourage others on this list to attempt to problem-solve your situation.

I do want to say it's disappointing to see no other comments picking up on this.
>Or perhaps eliminating the minimum wage would force those trying to survive on it, however temporarily, to take multiple jobs and reducing the number of people who can be employed.

That's a very shallow view of the market, pretending like moving one thing doesn't move everything else. If the price of labor goes down, the price of goods and services will shortly follow suit. That's why shit produced in China has been so cheap, labor is cheap.

>Perhaps reducing or eliminating the minimum wage would make employers more productive and more profitable;

It would increase the economic efficiency of the entire system. The employers are already productive and profitable, they just ship your job to China where labor is cheaper. Not only are you unemployed, but every moment you lack a job your market value is decreasing. Nobody wants to hire someone who has been unemployed for a long time. You're also not building useful skills, or a reputation/references for being a good worker.

Many open source libraries that I end up using have terrible documentation, and borderline meaningless commit messages. Issues are one of the only places I can go to find any sort of useful explanation or backstory on how a particular part of a library should work.

Yes, I've written a windows dll loader for linux based on wine myself. It's fairly simple to add support for LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to a linux program using wine libraries.
That's because the minimum wage is higher than the market value for many of those people's productivity. Without a minimum wage anyone willing to do work would more quickly be able to find paying work. And anyone who is productive will quickly move up the pay scale.

PLA definitely will absorb water, which decreases its strength, but the effects may not be that noticeable, at least for a while. I have load bearing PLA parts that have now been outside in the yard for 2 and 3 years, and they are showing no signs of degradation.

Anyway, it would be an interesting experiment for you to stick with the PLA print until you see a problem before you reprint with PETG. My bet is it will last longer than expected.
