What is causing you emotion at your workplace? Are you being treated unfairly?

My short answer would be to find a new job. I've never had a job that caused me so much stress it caused issues at home. Sure, there have been times when my boss did something to really piss me off and I got angry, but those are isolated incidents.

At one of my jobs I was promised something that never came (I should have gotten it in writing). I asked about it every year, until it bothered me so much I gave them an ultimatum. They refused, I quit and moved on, and am much happier in the end.
I'd love to be able to watch a simple video interview with these guys. Something like...Dr. Gödel, could we take just a few of your notable insights and have you walk us through how the fuck you managed to come up with them?
> Among all projects, more than 60% use a Django release with one or more known security vulnerabilities. Only 2% are using a secure Django release.

Probably because 95% of projects on GitHub are homework assignments for job interviews that never get updated after they're submitted.
The purpose of growing your own crops is to eat your own crops, you just sell the excess. There always seems to be plenty enough people to buy your excess to subsidize the remainder of things you need.

The problem with everyone finding problems is that they use these problems as excuses not to make any changes. That puts them in the 90% of people who complain and do nothing.

As Venture Capitalists always say - they're not interested in ideas, they're interested in people who can execute. Either you can (and do) execute, or you can't (or don't).

Not all legitimate action means moving up the catch basin and growing your own crops. There is legitimate action that can be taken in the city, in the suburbs and in low lying rural areas. You're not hurting yourself by adopting a sustainable lifestyle, you're helping yourself and the planet in the process.

I encountered this in a personal project in the past week.

The ideal, normalized schema would be slow and awkward for manual insertions on a daily basis, which I felt would deter me and hence undermine the project.

The not-quite-normalized version would be much quicker and more intuitive for me to keep up-to-date, so I talked myself into it.

In the future I can always write a stored proc to process the less-normalized data into idealized tables, and use the original tables solely for importing the data.

Despite that reassurance it was remarkably difficult to accept that doing the 'wrong thing' programmatically was the 'right thing' in a project scope.

Indeed. Prometheus and Grafana are complimentary. In fact PromDash was deprecated in favor of Grafana [1]:

"NOTE: PromDash is deprecated. We recommend Grafana for visualization of Prometheus metrics nowadays, as it has native Prometheus support and is widely adopted and powerful."

This seems like an odd oversight for a "comparison" article.

I'm also Catholic, and was looking at becoming a Trappist monk a few years ago. I just wanted to mention that there are many forms of prayer, many of which are nothing like meditation.

But there is at least one form of prayer, known as contemplative prayer, which is very like meditation. It consists primarily in being in the moment, stilling your mind, quieting your heart, sitting still, and breathing deeply. It's an ancient form of prayer dating back to the desert fathers.

The purpose of it is to allow God to overtake you, to be receptive to him. Sometimes this happens, but many times, it's just you sitting in silence with God, often, not even really aware of him.

This is by far my favorite form of prayer. Unfortunately, most people never seem learn about it, and instead are taught to be chatty, repeating rote prayers, or rattling off prayer requests or whatever.

Apple is huge in China. I agree that Apple doesn't need China to be successful, but that's a lot of money left on the table: for what purpose? For principles? For the subset of your customers who are concerned about privacy?
Absolutely. Same for designer, strategists, etc - however for some roles it's easier to "hack stuff together" than others.

Honestly just lazy. It doesn't take much effort to put a microphone on the line and record the entry tone.. What a kludgy solution..nothing to be proud of or to advocate for.

The whole "developer-expresso-drinking-JUSTDOIT-positivity" cliche blogpostspam makes my mouth bitter. How many of these queer posts are we going to get on HN? Just-do-it is one of those backwards anachronisms that belongs in the paleolithic pamphlet for success. It sounds good but helps no one.
Nah. We just throw another hack on top of it.
You absolutely can't "know" ahead of time what assets will appreciate at all, let alone their rate of appreciation. If you knew that for sure you'd be a guaranteed millionaire. Even if you say "real estate historically appreciates," most communities (esp small ones) are prompted up by 1-2 big employers or industries thus house prices in a community are not as secure as you might believe (see Detroit). Plus neighborhoods change over time. Plus you're ignoring the carrying cost of a property and the transfer costs.

However, a house can provide a lot of enjoyment so I am not advocating you don't buy one, just be realistic about what you are buying.

We all have a lot of expectation of our taxes. But one thing you can be sure of - the Government can and does fuck up pretty much everything you hire them to do. History has proven this time and time again. So at what point do people get off their asses and make things happen instead of just talking about it?

P.S. I work in the software business too.

Additionally: Do you honestly think that given the Government's lack of guarantee to provide you with free healthcare, clean water, even clean air... given many states atrocious track record for this: Look at Flint with the lead in the water, look at Pennsylvania with oil companies fracking and polluting the drinking water meaning you can literally light the water pouring from your kitchen tap on fire. Do you really trust your Government to provide you any kind of regard when they've got lobbyists campaigning left, right and centre for the interests of people who don't give a shit about you and yours, just their shareholder profits?

I think it's naive to expect that the Government will do the right thing, even though as tax payers we should rightfully be able to expect that. They've proven too many times that they won't. The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. If you want different results, something's gotta change. You have no surer way of doing something different than doing it yourself.

The coolest thing about ignoring trends is that most of them go away again.

I pity the fool who did test first development on applications with less than 10 functionalities for instance.

Even as a manager it's the gaffatape programmers who end up saving the day rather than the best practices.

Obviously I won't advocate against following best practices. It's just that people never seem to agree on what they are, making continuity rather hard to pull off over longer periods of time.

Tracking prevention, do not disturb when driving, iMessage communication encryption (and refusal to break it), OS encryption, and other decisions that Apple is making for its users seem quite positive. I'm not against any of these decisions. On the contrary, I think they're great! (Let's ignore developer-centric issues for the moment as we're a small fraction of their user base.)

But I agree it is a concerning trend. The situation is analogous to government-mandated morals. While I might be expected to welcome legislation that enforces my beliefs on the rest of the population, I personally would prefer that the government stayed completely out of making these decisions at all, because it's only a matter of time before they make a decision that does not match my beliefs.
It assumes the opposition can sway some percentage of the population in a wave in one case (maximizing seats) or that they can put up a few really good candidates that can win on personal attributes and policy, not policy alone, in the other (maximizing seat safety).

We've certainly had wave elections, have we not? 1920, 1932, 1994, 2006, 2010... They're getting more frequent, perhaps because redistricting may not be maximizing seat safety as much? (I'm not sure, I've not and will not spend my cycles on analyzing redistricting history.)

It's not vague anger in the least. From what I just looked up, it seems Canada has ~1.6T in total debt (federal and provincial levels of government) and around the same in GDP, which is better than the US because the US has more than that amount just from the federal.

The issue with deficit spending is simply stated as this - you can print money, but you cannot print value. Meaning that people produce value and just because there are X more dollars in circulation doesn't mean there are now miraculously a proportional increase in the amount of goods and services the economy produces. Roughly the same number of people are working so the GDP is more or less unchanged. So what happens? Well supply and demand does its thing and prices rise because now there are more dollars and approximately the same number of goods and services.

Deficit spending is effectively a hidden tax on everyone. And it's truly vile because it cuts down the purchasing power of everyone equally, meaning those with the lowest incomes get the same % hit to their purchasing power.

When you think about the impact of deficit spending, it should induce rage. What's more, think about this. If Canada has to pay off that debt in full (without even taking interest into consideration), it means that everyone who is currently working would have to work an entire year for free (100% tax rate) just to close the debt. That's how much of the people's labor they have stolen through deficit spending.

Or think of it this way - it usually takes the average person until they are around 30-33 to save up a full one year's pre-tax salary. That's about ~7-10 years of savings (assuming graduating college around 22-23). That means they have spent/stolen 7-10 years of savings for the average person!

The destruction of purchasing power is directly proximate to the use of credit as a means of survival for the middle class.

I absolutely agree. Smoking a pipe does increase your risk for a variety of cancers and several other health problems. Sometimes manyfold.
My main point here is that the dangers it presents are more easily mitigated and less significant than most other forms of tobacco use and that overall you're not really exposing yourself to that much more risk than you would be doing many other things.

Here's a study looking at mortality rates and causes for pipe smokers. At the absolute worst, the top end of the confidence interval, the mortality rate goes from ~1.3% per man year to ~1.7% per man year if you are currently smoking a pipe and surprisingly lowers to ~1.2% per man year if you previously smoked a pipe. [1]

Over 20 years that adds up to an increase of about 6% in your chances of death.

Like all good things in life it has risks attached. Know the risks; enjoy it in moderation. It's a risk, but I think people tend to blow it out of proportion. Probably has something to do with people underestimating the base cancer rate.

The more money that flows into index funds the more potential profit can be made by active managers. Vanguard themselves have research validating active managers. I'm not going to give you free advice (no two clients ever have the exact circumstances or requirements) but, as a financial adviser who has carefully weighed up the passive vs active approach for years, we advise our clients to invest in risk-targeted multi-manager multi-asset funds that we ourselves have done Due Diligence on which includes visiting their offices, talking to their management team and analysing their track record (all on a regular basis). I consider this best practice but I know of no other financial advisers that do this. I do recognise that this is most likely beyond what most private investors are capable of as we have millions worth of client money under advice which gets us in the door. I do think this, and our unique approach to delivering holistic financial advice is a core part of our unique selling proposition so there does come a point where it would be better to focus on your own way of making money and let an adviser focus on wealth preservation, tax optimisation and helping you create the life you want.

As for the article, clients need to be responsible and look for chartered advisers who have advanced qualifications. In the UK this would be a FCA recognised Level 6 qualification and Chartered membership of the CII or CISI. In the United States, the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) is broadly comparable to Chartered status in the UK.

Of course you could still get a bad adviser but the chances that someone who paid for, and studied for years, to gain Chartered status would throw their career away by not acting in a client's best interest would be extremely low.
In 1943, the War Labor Board ruled that wage freezes due to WWII did not apply to fringe benefits, which included health insurance. So you couldn't pay your employees more money, but you could pay their health insurance.

I was going to say Prometheus vs Graphite vs InfluxDB would be an interesting comparison.
> If you could Free-solo the same wall but with without (or greatly reduced) danger? [...] Does that somehow dampen the feeling of achievement when completed?

I've pondered this.

For me personally, the answer is: yes.

I think part of the sense of achievement after success comes from knowing what you invested (effort, risk, ...). I'd like to say that for me the fun of climbing would be about "oneness with nature" or some such thing, and that's partly true, but in reality daring to take a calculated risk, and succeeding, gives it a big extra something.

Maybe compare it with heli skiing vs backcountry skiing. Let's say both are equally non-risky. The sense of achievement (and exhaustion) after making the summit is quite different, even though it's the same summit. And having come up by chopper you might be able to benefit from the fresh powder on the way down more (because you're not exhausted), but the feeling of elation is just not the same -- at least for me.

Yeah - all of the "suggestions" are a bit weird. For example they say not use Grafana for OpenStack, to use Gnocchi instead.

You know, we put a "padlock" on the address-line for a reason. Why can't we just make it easy for anyone to inspect the persistent state associated with a website. Websites already make site-maps to tell search engines how they work, why can't websites tell end-users what data they create and use with your browser? Treat them like capabilities and let the user decide if your website gets to treat your localStorage as a stalking ground of your behavior or if they'll have to work even harder.

This kind of contract can do in both ways. The user can set up a permission set to give to the website. If the website balks then the user can go somewhere else or negotiate with their own principles how much they want to be "the product."
I'm sorry that I have given you the impression that I or others like myself who discuss these questions believe in ancient aliens. I realize that this is a topic of confusion for many "debunkers". I don't accept belief as a valuable tool the process of discovering the truth, nor do I deem it necessary in the practice of science. Unbiased observation, free from belief is important.

And denotative language seems to be more effective than connotative language, at least as far as these kings of arguments are concerned. Logical argument is better than the disparagement of persons and groups when arguing and making a point. And staying on topic is also a good thing.

There is a growing discussion regarding belief systems within academia and various conventional sciences such as archeology. This seems to be a problem and if it is not cleaned up fairly quickly and replaced with something more logical, evidence-based, reality-accepting and legitimately scientific, the term "pseudoscience" will likely be used against those coming from the conventional side of these topics.

I don't see anything relevant from your link that explains the precision of the boxes I mentioned above. What do you know about ancient Egyptian mathematics and engineering that relates to this subject? I have read the entire page you linked to, so forgive me in advance for missing it.
To put this in context, they were visiting their family (in Mauritius) after the birth of their new child. It's still irresponsible to spend such a large amount of money in that kind of situation - with that amount I guess they didn't look for the cheapest travel options, and lived in an expensive hotel instead of staying with their family - but it's not like they just went there for the beaches, as it looked like when I first read the comment.

Obviously this is what works for me so YMMV.

I like rock climbing as a workout. I specifically prefer that because it requires me to be 100% mentally engaged in it while climbing. It is a combination of meditative ways of thinking as well as physical exercise and blocks everything else out. Anger during climbing is utterly counterproductive. It doesn't de-escalate as much as it distracts and focuses.

And most importantly, it doesn't rely on transferring my frustration and anger to others...which is a bad habit of mine.

Been to Wawa, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay or Timmins recently? What about the smaller towns like Desbarats, what about the rural areas?

It's - to me - incredible that in a first world country people would be living like that, I've seen poverty in other countries as well, but not in places where the winters are that cold. In Panama or Colombia you can get away with living in a shack, in Northern Ontario it is not an option.

If you feel that Northern Ontario is doing well then you are not in agreement with the people that live there, younger people - if they have any marketable skills - move to the large cities, mostly Toronto but also in the United States as soon as they are able to.

Sure, San Francisco has poverty too, but at least the climate won't outright kill you (in case you were wondering why there aren't so many street people in Northern Ontario: the ones that try usually do not last a single season).

House is 8m2, but it is a two level house so the bedroom is not taking up the ground space. She, apparently, lives alone.

She lives in tokyo. 2016 minimum wage in Tokyo has been set to 932 JPY. For a 148 hour month, that's 137,936 JPY that currently means $1252 USD.

Her house costs her about USD $600/mo. So that's about 48% of minimum monthly wage. Assuming she is getting minimum wage, doesn't sound bad at all.

Now here's the deal: in my city the minimum wage is 850 PEN. 48% of that, is USD $123. With $123 here you couldn't afford to live alone renting any kind of house or apartment. You would have to rent a room. That is, no kitchen/washing machine/ clothesline, etc. And a very tiny one at that OR a well-sized one but located in a rather ugly part of the city. (Ugly as in, trash outside everyday, being robbed at gunpoint at night, etc.)

So I guess all is fine in Tokyo.
