You'd be surprised how far exact cover can get you. The trick isn't in knowing exact cover, per se. But in seeing how to map problems to different problems.

That is, the "exact cover" nature of Sudoku is not immediately obvious to everyone. At least, it wasn't obvious to me. Seeing how quickly you can map it to that and then get a solution was a lot of fun and ridiculously educational.

I don't know about the teens, but the first decade of this century definitely needs to be the 'naughties'.
Just let them know up front you wont sign any non-competes.
The biggest problem with company towns was that they paid employees in company scrip instead of money. IIRC, that's illegal now under modern labor laws.

The second biggest problem was that companies used their company towns to force their social agendas on their employees. George Pullman would spy on employees' homes and firevict anyone living a lifestyle he didn't approve of. Tenant protections and anti-discrimination laws can take care of that (but we do need to strengthen our laws first... they're not quite there yet).
Sometimes you just want to refer to a granular period of time -- e.g. "I was living in Alaska in the noughties" or "It wasn't until the noughties that I decided what I really wanted to do in my career" -- and as far as that goes such a term can be useful.
HelloSign (YC W11) raises $16M for its e-signature business
No we don't. Danish people are supposed to be the happiest on earth, and Copenhagen is definitely not a car-dependent city.

Speaking more generally, I'd say few cities in Europe fit your description. Within the city limits I think people pretty much expect cars to be the least practical mode of transport. Very few shops have parking lots, and getting around is very slow. It's probably true in the US though.
awww... look at the ancient office manager grasping to keep their job.

One thing I've struggled to understand, even after years of working with a great team of relatively low-cost engineers in India, is this:

If engineers in India are, say, 5x cheaper fully-loaded than in the US; and some of them are awesome engineers; why are there not startups in the West competing to pay the rock-stars a Western salary but have them stay in India?

With all the close ties between the Indian IT sector and Silicon Valley I would expect it to be common practice especially among startups to try recruiting the best away from, say, InfoSys by simply paying them what you'd end up paying an inferior engineer locally.

As far as I can tell this is not done very often. Anybody know why? Or am I just not aware of it?
My four year old's soccer coach was leaving his organization, and I asked him if he was interested in doing private lessons in my neighborhood. He said he was, but he'd signed a non compete with the local children's soccer organization.

It demolished my opinion of the soccer group that they are making 22 year olds sign non competes.

(I did tell him the non-compete was void in California, but he still didn't want to deal with it)

Very cool! I found #c0ffee myself a while ago and it made me quite happy to immediately know which color the title meant.

This isn't related to the post content (which was great), but I noticed that HN lists the domain as "surge.sh", which doesn't make a lot of sense because surge.sh is just the web hosting service this site is on.

With the web, the convention right now is to treat the subdomain as a different security origin (with the exception of www). So the link should show c0ffee.surge.sh, not surge.sh.

If this is a manual setting, it probably also needs to be set for neocities.org. I noticed that wordpress.com domains were being subdomained properly.

It really shouldn't be manual, it should just always show the correct origin domain.

Sure, I would like my own single family home, as long as I have access to all the other people and activities that make life worthwhile. Even better, I would like to have a castle in the wilderness, permitting no entrance without permission, with a teleporter so I can instantly commute to civilization.

In the real world, we balance the things that we desire with what we need and what we can pay. Would you want to live in a single-family home if you had to pay what it really costs? https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2016/9/2/a-thousand-hidd...

Describing Rome as "capitalist" in the modern sense is a gross misrepresentation of what is known about the ancient economy, ignoring the work of Finley and Polanyi.

In some states, non-competes are only enforceable if there is a payment made after the employee's separation. It would appear Washington doesn't have that provision.

I'm no lawyer so I may be totally wrong on this.

Shareholders for Amazon should be concerned that Amazon is letting their employees know too much about plans in other divisions.

It is fair to say a VP knows the DETAILED plans of that division enough that doing the same thing for a competitor should be a problem. However VP experience should let him go to a competitor in a different division as his knowledge of the plans should be vague enough as to not matter.
Any controversial question is going to potentially cost you. The interviewers will be asked their opinion of you and they can simply say 'pass'.

How sizeof works in C/C++
I work remote. You are still part of a community. I travel to the main office on occasion and visit with co-workers, go out to dinner, and catch up.

If you are looking for social interaction while remote you can also find like-minded individuals at tech meetups, coworking spaces, even your local Starbucks.
Given the $99 limitation has been lifted it seems reasonable to make general federated "App Store App" that downloads source and puts a build of an app on the phone, wrapped with a pretty UI and clever control channel to your "dev" machine. Value of a particular "store" would be in its own curation. Seems Apple developer portal has enough API to get provisioning keys for Fastlane, might have more generally interesting stuff to make other features like APNS seamless.
I've just started working remotely. I think one of the major benefit for me is actually that we mostly communicate via e-mail/messaging services.

Of course there are plenty of situations where talking face to face is more informative, but I often find that to be rare.

Communicating via text has the added benefit of documentation and allows you to think about what you are actually writing. I find describing what I plan to do with a client via text helps me organize my thinking.

I work in data analysis though. So maybe this doesn't apply to other fields.
That clause gives Congress the power to pass a law outlawing non compete agreements. It doesn't give the court the power to outlaw the practice on its own.
Ask HN: Alternatives to work/life balance?
I think work/life balance is a faulty concept and doesn't characterize what many of us, especially in tech and startups want or need. We love our work and aren't trying to balance our work again our lives and don't buy into that dichotomy anyway.

Has anyone come up with or found any really effective alternative mental models?

EDIT: an indicative quote from The Fifth Discipline:
"There is also another, in some ways deeper, movement toward learning organizations, part of the evolution of industrial society. Material affluence for the majority has gradually shifted people’s orientation toward work— from what Daniel Yankelovich called an “instrumental” view of work, where work was a means to an end, to a more “sacred” view, where people seek the “intrinsic” benefits of work. “Our grandfathers worked six days a week to earn what most of us now earn by Tuesday afternoon,” says Bill O’Brien, former CEO of Hanover Insurance. “The ferment in management will continue until we build organizations that are more consistent with man’s higher aspirations beyond food, shelter and belonging. Moreover, many who share these values are now in leadership positions. I find a growing number of organizational leaders who, while still a minority, feel they are part of a profound evolution in the nature of work as a social institution. “Why can’t we do good works at work?”"

I tend to work on multiple large monitors most of the time.

But thinking back on it, some of the most productive programming time I've ever had happened on a netbook with a 10 inch screen. For some reason, having limited workspace made it much easier to stay focused and avoid distractions. Maybe because it was impossible to have my attention drawn away by the HN tab open on my second monitor. :)

Attention and focus are a bit different for everyone, though. I could imagine many people feeling unbearably cramped if they were working on a small screen all the time.
Bulgaria is a good example why net neutrality works. The capital city of Sofia is brimming with ISPs -- last time I checked, at least 15 companies with good coverage, fiber, and very affordable ($7 to $20 for 100Mbps ingress and egress) connection services. And probably 50 or so more which are smaller and with less coverage, but still with strong connections.

No prioritized traffic. No metered traffic. No endless Facebook and Whatsapp traffic. Shielded and reinforced fiber-optic cables, laid underground. Rain pours down as if it's the Apocalypse, both of my connections never flinch.

It's different in the USA. It's vast, it's costly to make a big fiber-optic network, and the company lobbies and legal monopolies are rampant. I don't think you guys will manage to push back anytime soon. You need somebody like Elon Musk coming over and saying "I don't care about being in a VIP oligopoly club, I'll do my own thing". Then you'll find Comcast suddenly improving service and dropping prices.

People like Pai aren't stopped by words. There has to be a way for the market to do its magic, otherwise it'll only get worse for the USA.
Looks like it's a matter of not importing almost any libraries other than "unsafe".

Well, the Go runtime is written in Go itself. And you can write Go without the runtime, the same way the compiler is.

The hard part is that the runtime is indeed build on OS primitives (syscall mostly), that you have to implement yourself.

You have to forgo all the niceties of having a runtime but you can do it. Definitely not the most productive use of Go, but it's fun and you learn a lot.
Thanks for this one. A must read for me.
When I was about 27 and had my own business I sat next to a billionaire at some charity dinner (in Ireland this can happen fairly easily - not because of the number of billionaires - which is low - but because of the tiny social scene).

Anyway he asked me about my business. Then he said: "Do you have a business partner?".

I said "Yes I do".

He said "Get rid of them".
I can remember during the later half of the 90s people started asking how we would refer to the first two decades of the new millennium since we were so used to talking about the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Here we are 20+ years later and there still isn't an answer! The people 2097 are going to be writing articles about how much we suck for not figuring this out for them ;-)

I have not looked at Xcode since the time it was a requirement to have a paid account to install apps via Xcode. I know this has changed in the last couple of years.

Are there other restrictions on apps installed via Xcode today? E.g do they work for a limited time? Or work only on devices approved in some way?

Thanks!
Detecting secrets in source code
Something lost on second-half-of-millenial-generation and up will be just how inaccessible media was, even well into the 90s. Movies took years to be released on video. What you could buy was mostly whatever the local stores chose to stock. You'd probably not even know about all kinds of media because it never showed up anywhere you could see it, unless you read lots of industry/medium specific magazines or something. Music? Hope your record/CD store has it or will order it. TV show? Didn't record it when it aired? Gone. You can watch TV Guide and try to catch a rerun. In a few years maybe it'll be one of a handful of episodes released on VHS (full seasons? LOL no, or incredibly expensive in the unlikely event that they are released). Want to see some family photos from someone across the country? Call them, oh they're out, leave a message on their answering machine that you'd like them to go get prints made and mail them to you. You may see them in a month. You'll have no idea what you're getting until they show up, unless you've seen them in person before.

And shortly before that, it was even worse. Home releases of movies? Haha, what's that? Maybe a super-expensive 16mm print will be available at some point for home projectors.

A short while ago mass media was far more ephemeral and inaccessible than it is now. Before that it didn't really exist, outside print. Want to hear music? Know anyone who can play it? No? You're out of luck. Better learn an instrument. Film? What's that? Maybe you can catch a stage show at the local harvest festival. Maybe your kids will stage something in the living room. That'd be nice.

We're not that far removed from those times. This has been a huge shift in people's relations to one another (to paraphrase Vonnegut, people's small artistic talents used to be very valuable to their friends, family, and community, but they're now in competition with the best in the world, rendering any expression of those talents low-value and eccentric) and to media itself. We've gained a lot, but more than a little's been lost. Sometimes it feels like we're drowning in media, and I'm not sure the trade-off of being able to watch Hogan's Heroes or whatever at a moment's notice rather than waiting for a rerun is entirely worth centering our lives on screens and speakers so completely.
how am i virtue signalling on an anonymous forum? who am i signalling to? i don't even have anything identifying me on my profile? and googling this name brings up nothing. so umm maybe i actually mean what i say?
They would have extended an offer or not independently of your salary demands. The question you asked would have been a minor point in the debrief if it was discussed at all. If you didn't get an offer it is probably because you didn't "meet the bar".

Sure, but, as (s)he said, (s)he drives 5-10K miles / year. For 10K miles, that's a difference of less than 100 gallons of gas per year, meaning less than $400 / year in gas for the Civic vs the Prius. ~$1 / day probably isn't going to drive behavior change or a willingness to spend more for an otherwise-inferior car.
Sweden is huge and very sparsely populated, though. I can imagine reducing car use would severely limit people's mobility.

It's also noteworthy that Sweden has two major car brands: Volvo and Saab (does Saab still exist?). That's quite a lot for a country of 10 million people.

I suggest you work to understand his frame of mind and act accordingly. If he wants to make valuable contributions that you believe are needed but just needs his life to be reshuffled to make it happen, you should consider how you can help accommodate those changes.

If he truly is not interested anymore, guide your conversations in that direction without stating your intention to exclude him overtly. You want him to talk until he comes to his own realization that he shouldn't be involved anymore. That's the only way this will occur without his feeling that he was violently pushed out. You have to make this easy, and you have to make it feel like he made the choice, or at least made his own bed, not that you're cutting him off unfairly.
I would rather be unemployed than in that situation.
My topbar color is #badfoo, which is a somewhat sickly green.
Raises are basically useless to depend on these days as a way of increasing your income. In my 15 year career, I have seen an average of 2-3% raise and the highest I have seen is 10% when I got promoted. The fact that your salary is above average also plays against you, as most big companies have a formula for raises that is based on local market salary for a similar role. If you want to make more money, moving jobs, or getting promoted is the way to go, not raises. Another thing to consider, you have been in this role for only 1 year. Establishing trust takes time. If you are a rockstar developer, ask for more responsibility and get on the promotion track.
It's like playing a game. There's more actual freedom when people follow a defined set of guidelines than there would be if anyone could do whatever they liked.
I always thought it was the Noughties and the Teenies?
I could never do that. I use 3 monitors (if you count the laptop) and I'm way more productive with it. I have low-priority windows that I need to have opened (a terminal, a console log with 3 tabs of its own, simulator window) and that is a mess to handle if I have to actually switch between them. Virtual desktops help a bit but still cause a little strain every time I have to switch from one context (development or checking the source) to another (testing a mobile app and checking the log).
