I went through something like this.

What your emotions are getting conflicted on is the idea of learning your real limitations. Because, despite appearances of competence and opportunity, you've surely got flaws that would prevent you from doing something someone else would find easy. One of them is manifest right now, in that you're bailing before the commitments get too intense. This happens within youth fairly often, even when no graceful exit is possible and it's the rationally correct decision to stick with a commitment. Other people, already people younger than you, even, have gone and made hugely consequential decisions without thinking twice. Some of them are dead, so maybe you're doing all right.

What an older person tends to figure out is that they are only getting more limited and closer to an end as time goes on, which makes them more motivated to focus on relative strengths and weaknesses. They will exit the situation when it plays to their weaknesses and saps their energy, and stay in and struggle when it fits their strengths and motivations.

It's hard to see, though, what you are doing when you're living it every day. Somehow you ended up on HN. But why HN, and not anywhere else? Do you know how you got here, or why you stay here?

These are things you can pick apart by journaling, collecting data, and trying to challenge your internal narratives. The "why" of what you do never really gets answered(because it's philosophical, hence it never reaches an end), but if you're occupying your time with struggles that you feel are worthwhile to you personally, and not just escaping forever, that's probably a good life.
Thanks! Parsing git information without using git has always been mildly interesting to me :)

This is most definitely for zsh, FWIW; I choked slightly on `echo $var[1,12]` for a minute there. That's not a problem - you wrote this for your shell prompt, you use zsh, it makes sense to use zsh features - I'm just noting that others might need to do a bit of porting.

(I personally use bash by choice myself because it's the most widely installed shell and I don't want to switch until I fully know how to make the most concise and least surprising use of it.)

Here is an excerpt from "The Tragedy of the Commons" paper [1]

"""

The pollution problem is a consequence of population. It did not much matter how a lonely American frontiersman disposed of his waste. "Flowing water purifies itself every 10 miles," my grandfather used to say, and the myth was near enough to the truth when he was a boy, for there were not too many people. But as population became denser, the natural chemical and biological recycling processes became overloaded, calling for a redefinition of property rights.

"""

The excerpt seems to convey the same opinion, but if read the paper you get to see it from many more view points.

The suits at Google & Tesla seem quite well informed about tech challenges. Even if those are extreme examples, I'm quite sure the engineers would be informing the timelines at all other companies, too.

This was a great article.

The point about adding engineers until marginal returns per employee reaches their salary is a great angle in explaining why companies don't want to stay lean.

Well, your moral principles are very different from mine. I don't feel like I (or the state) should have a say about what goes on inside of Facebook's servers, they can do whatever they want with the information they have as long as the don't use coercion (to me, freedom is the lack of coercion).

That said, I do believe that there's a practical problem, but it's us that must try to solve it, we must educate people, we must ask our friends not to post our photos or personal info on social media, etc.

It's an interesting article, although I don't know much about Shakespeare. But it kinda confirms my theory that a good art is like a good puzzle - it requires some (decent) mental effort on the part of the audience to "interpret". And humans have rewards for interpreting data, that's why we like art.

Like in a good puzzle, it cannot be too open-ended, because then too many interpretations are possible and there is not enough motivation on the part of casual audience to make something out. On the other hand, it cannot be too straightforward, because then there is only one, obvious interpretation, and that makes the reward for the audience very small.

Good puzzles have a balance between those things
to maximize the reward/effort ratio involved in solving them. The same is true for art, there has to be enough ambiguity for audience to fill in themselves (leading to satisfaction), but also enough stuff to keep the audience interested.

It's like finding out that the Stasi had an extensive file on you, even though you never travelled to the GDR or were an interesting target. The only connection is that friend of your's who once visited their uncle on the other side.

The difference is, the GDR is gone and none of this has any consequences anymore. However, the consequences of Facebook et al. are yet to be seen.
Wondering if anyone has experience with it... there's a lot of competition in graph database market, curious to see if this is worth investing time in.
Nice to see some Smalltalk examples although I'm heavily biased to terminal languages like Awk, Perl, and Python, I'd rather see something more like Pharo which I think makes more sense in the ST world. I hear a lot about the joys of ST, but Id like to see some short coding sessions to get the idea. Most demos I see are either "let's look at all the goodies like class inspector, debugger...etc", or "let's look at this example where I can't follow along as we're like 9 classes deep".

I should probably do the "profStef" tutorial.

A bug report comes with steps to reproduce, attached logs etc. Just having a team first to throw out everything from the issue reporting that doesn't meet the issue quality requirements, next a team of second line support actually reproduce the bugs and make proper work items to be prioritized - or close them as "duplicate", "can't reproduce" or similar - which the reporter gets within just a couple of days.

The trick is to set the quality threshold high. It should take a couple of hours to report a bug but that should be because of the effort of writing the issue - not because you navigate tech support phone people.

So basically "I can't do this thing I need to do, although it worked in the last version" is tech support - not a bug report. With the minimal steps to reproduce, some logs and perhaps a vm image - it's s bug report.
I did it two years ago. Never been a problem. Sms and calling still exist. People started to write me nice emails. The feeling you are missing something is gone arter two weeks.

Actually only thing that is somehow annoying are events. Its facebook secret sauce. They limit the api (you cant add events through api > no automatic repost) so every event around me ends up only on fb. I am talking about public events, concerts, lectures etc. Venues are using fb as calendar so much that many of them dont even put it on their own site anymore.
I think delivery could be solved today:

I assume we use chilled meals(which you reheat at home. can taste great), which last for 2-3 days - so let's say you need to delivery 2-3 times a week, and you delivery meals for the whole family. That's a lot of meals per delivery. Certainly helps the economics.

Now if as a requirement for delivery you would need to install a smart lock[1] on the trunk of your car(that the delivery guy can have the right access to), and a cooling box(maybe one that includes something like ice packets or similar passive temp. regulation tech), and the delivery guy will just drop the food there - this will be really helpful, because it shift delivery to the middle class from suburbs to somewhere near their work, which means much higher route density(deliveries per hour).

So i kind of think the technology part of cheap deliveries is solvable. But it all depends on the marketing part, and changing habits isn't that easy. And that previous plan requires a lot of interlocking parts together. hard.

So maybe a good way to do this is offering delivery for businesses(good delivery economics). Get people used to that. Get commercial kitchens offering great and cheap food based on that. That's what Amazon is doing.

And than, some commercial kitchen will start easy, with an offer of chilled meals for your home(for offices that already get deliveries). They will delivery to your office, you'll put in a cooling-box in office, and take it to your car at the end of the day.

And on top of that, you get a smart lock, or discounts for plans like you mention, or maybe discounts for group plans, etc.

[1]This of course would be a great help to e-commerce in general.
When I climb a mountain (and I've climbed plenty), I don't want to see people, living or dead. It detracts from the experience. Everest? No thanks.
Am I the only one who hears echoes of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead in this article? The creative who refuses to conform to "institutionalized mediocrity" and relentlessly pursues his own path - was that not Howard Roark?

Of course most people won't wind up dynamiting a building, but still.

Anyway, it's an interesting article, although I'm not sure what actionable information is there. We all know that creative / OOTB thinkers sometimes have a hard time getting people to take their ideas seriously. And we also know that not all "creative" ideas are actually good ideas. Sometimes your "brilliant" idea is rejected because it's just wrong.

At most, I guess it's a call to be more empathetic; and to be more consciously aware of that sort of bias so we can work to counteract it.
What is streaming server
Dedicated server
Streaming server

Streaming media means that the media provider uses a video delivery server to send the program as a packet and send it to the network. The user decompresses the data by decompressing the device and the program is displayed as it was before it was sent. Streaming media server, is naturally responsible for the video transmission of this server.
Streaming media server used in distance education, video on demand, Internet radio, network video, etc.

I’ve reworded that bit, sorry, it wasn’t very clear!

It is as krallja says; inlined on the very first request (so any caching headers such as ETag wouldn't help, though I do set them for anything subsequent) so there is no display blocking fetching the CSS needed for display (as I have little CSS, I inline all of it, but you might want critical CSS only).
Of course there's a market for it. Do you not have at least a few friends who are holding out with their candybar dumbphones or antique iPhones to this day, citing reasons that include but are not limited to 1) I'm not wasting money on a new phone that will have to be replaced every year 2) I hate how much trash electronics generate 3) I want to be more engaged with the people around me so I want my phone to be less capable/less distracting 4) I don't like facebook and the NSA spying on me and I won't get a smartphone unless I'm sure they can't.

I have a good handful of such people in my social circle, ranging in age from 23 to 58, usually higher education levels, and usually non-technical. The biggest common factor amongst them is that Android doesn't work for them.
We're talking about a monopoly and you think market forces have any fundamental effect here? The data exists. Facebook is not going to abandon this trough just because they can't monetize it right away.
I did a first attempt at coding these up at one point. https://bitbucket.org/ianai/ under hyperreals.
I think the main point is that this is despite how "important" (to the point of fetishization) creativity is officially to most of these institutions and people that don't actually value it.

There's a reason they're called guidelines not rules :)

We don't want them to be rigidly enforced for their own sake, we want them to help cultivate more interesting discussions.

So, when a case arises in which the original title causes a discussion to be bad (e.g., it is becoming dominated by off-topic discussion of the fact that the project's name causes it to be mistaken for an established project that's already well known to the community), that surely warrants a deviation from the guidelines, no?
I seem to be in the minority here, but I will honestly saw I'll miss Sprig. It was one of the few places I could not only order food that would arrive quickly, but most importantly (until their recent transition a month or two back), it was not only quite healthy, but they listed the nutrition facts up-front. I realize most people don't care, but as someone who was on a restricted diet (I'm diabetic) [hence the throwaway account], it was nice that I could know up-front what the food contained. I've yet to find another option that delivers decent quality food with nutrition facts up-front. The only reason I stopped using them was I invested time to start cooking my own food (with great health results, even if it takes up a few hours a week).

Anyone know of any similar services?
"I have dozens of opportunities in front of me, more than 99% of people"

Who put that idea in your head?
Every time I try to educate friends or family about it, I get the tinfoil look and they call me paranoid. Same with strangers when the topic comes up.

The most common (pretty much only) answers I get are that I'm nuts or that they don't care. And this is in Germany, a country where data protection laws and privacy are usually valued and cared about. But recent development over the last few years has shown that it's really just a small subset of the population that cares.
Actually, I live in a place where I don't need a car (I still have one though), anf that is what is extremely convenient, liberating and saves a whole lot of time. People are just too used to needing transport, and yes out of all transport options, a car is easiest. Improving transport is easier than making it unneccessary, though.
I know that it is somehow irrational but am I the only one actually scared by VR? It seems so good that I am afraid will decouple people from the real world.

As human specie are we sure that we will be able to manage it?

Are we sure that the negative effect will be couter balanced by the good one? What if we get hooked to VR?

What will be the meaning of "real"?
I tend to agree. A lot of the people who climb Everest, or at least spend a lot of time on the mountain, are Sherpas, who most definitely aren't rich, but I think he's sniping at the others, who cough up for the license to do it, turn up with thousands of pounds worth of kit, etc.
It's hard to tell from pictures, but are do IO modules have pin-headers instead of wire terminals?
I'm actually having trouble with the contrast as well.

But I don't think the colours them selves are absolutely unusable together, I think the combination of the colours and the font weight/size is really the issue (although that could be less the case on a retina screen).

It also doesn't help that I'm viewing it on a older monitor with poor colour control (particularly with contrast).
> The consumer's only hope here is the EU.

Sometimes they do the right thing but I most certainly wouldn't bank on it! If we want change there has to be grass roots movements I think. If tech people would find a way to use word of mouth to convince people not to use FB then FB would collapse. Something along the lines of "Won't somebody please think of the children!" might do the trick ;)
I remember when I first had Othello and Marlowe's Doctor Faustus in the same semester. While I liked Othello a lot, I felt that Faustus was a much superior piece of literature, both in the lyrical beauty of its prose and the actual plot.

I was also fortunate enough to have a professor who was a huge Marlowe fan. So while most professors obsess too much over Shakespeare, my professor spent a good couple of months on Faustus. Highlight of my academic life.

My thought: just because social attitudes change and something develops a stigma doesn't mean that thing won't still be commercially successful for a long, long time. Television, fast food and sugary drinks, over-sized cars, telemarketing...

It might be that in 5 years, Facebook will be as popular in the Bay Area as McDonald's is. I'm not sure that in that scenario Facebook won't still be a strong business.

Don't get me wrong: I think we're due for a cultural backlash against the kind of "information sugar" Facebook embodies. But I'm skeptical about how much such a backlash would really accomplish.

Maybe you'll see some kind of "up-market" services emerge that cater to new tastes (in this case: greater value placed on limited distraction/sustained attention). What is the Whole Foods Market in this area?

Were you using decent microSDs? Was each mSD getting QC'ed? We benchmark every single mSD before deploying an SBC with it, and have switched to only using Evo+ 32GB cards as they pass our QC 3/5 of the time, which is much better than the other available brands.

Also, mSD corruption means your using a mSD card with a bad controller. The mSD was bound to corrupt and was a low caliber card to start with, unless you are doing a bunch of writes a mSD should last 2 years minimum, if not longer.

Another tact to take would be to switch to an OrangePi PC+ (8GB eMMC included, $22) or similar, that way you know your getting good quality nand with a decent controller out of the box.

Is that 9 days idling? That's fantastic for a nexus 5! Mine is running stock Android, it's over 2 years old, and the battery lasts maybe 16 hours with normal daily usage. It's still a very capable phone, but it's a shame it's becoming unsupported and slowing down as makes their apps more sluggish. I switched to an iPhone SE recently, Google's apps run much better on iOS in my opinion.
