Ask HN: Would an 100% open-source team/development stack be useful?
Each tool eventually get's an open-source equivalent.

Slack -> Mattermost
Trello -> Wekan
etc.

Would a 100% open-source stack be worth it? Are there any services that supply one with an entire stack like this?
It is not possible for everyone to get this return. Managing your own IRA may be a good idea for some but it isn't for everyone. And a 15%-20% return s not realistic for more than a small percentage of people.
You can probably get it more than once. I got it from googling java docs once. I never am signed in or anything and delete cookies and block 3rd party cookies, so they got me on their one chance that I was signed in and had tons of tabs open. I never did it because it was a waste of time.

The docs seem fairly certain the direction it flows is weakness leads to sickness. Apparently something to do with muscle tissue vs insulin response. Lower muscle tissue leads to lower BMR which leads to obesity related issues and insulin resistance issues. Its almost too trivial to point out the orthopedic issues like weak back muscles leading to back problems. Also the accidental injury issue is trivial obvious; when I was younger working on a home improvement project I dropped a solid wood (not hollow core) door and then caught it, wrenching my back, obviously if my arms were stronger I wouldn't have dropped the door to begin with, and if my back had been stronger (I had been taking a break from lifting) then my back wouldn't have been as messed up.

Thanks for the great feedback. I wondered about that as well - as you can probably tell, I'm neither a good marketer or a good web developer.

The 'cohesive framework' one made sense in my head - the ORM and the HTTP stuff work together so that errors thrown by the ORM are translated into the appropriate status codes without having to catch the exception. I can see how just reading that may make no sense.

I'll check out the webpages for both Flask and Spark and adjust accordingly. The real info for developers is at https://aqueduct.io/docs anyhow.

> Cultural Marxism is not a conspiracy theory. It's simply a name for a strategy of advancing leftist political causes by using cultural institutions such as academia and the media

Were that true, it would still be poisoning-the-well through guilt-by-association in naming, since Marxism and leftism are not equivalent, and Marxism (largely, though not entirely, as a result of guilt-by-association with Leninism) has strong emotional loading in most of the West, particularly the US.

It would be like calling the same thing on the Right (which absolutely does exist, also: everyone with a viewpoint they are trying to advance uses cultural institutions in that effort to the extent they are able) cultural Fascism.

Most 401(k)s have at least one S&P 500 or US total market fund with low expense ratios. If anyone out there reading this doesn't know what that looks like, feel free to email me with the options your company provides and I can help you choose the right one. Like the GP says, this stuff is important, and if you set it up now you'll thank yourself later.

Re: getting 15-20%: there will be years that you can do this (heck, the S&P 500 returned 32% in 2014) but I certainly wouldn't count on getting those returns long-term. Consider that if you have $500k today and are able to successfully invest it at 20% returns, you'll be a billionaire in under 40 years. There are people who have done it (Warren Buffett and perhaps a few others), but if you're one of them you probably have better things to be doing with your time than posting on Hacker News. :)

Regardless of what specific reasons he has or hasn't for accepting this move, this is fascinating from an organisational perspective.

Get Congress Back to Legislating, Not Just Budgeting
I live just outside Washington, DC and have Sprint. The service is fine for me here. But then last year I took a trip to Florida and couldn't get a signal to save my life.

In other words, Sprint's coverage is great right up to the moment when it's terrible. Which you can live with if you're mostly in a place where it's great, but which makes it hard to recommend to people generally since you have no idea if they happen to spend most of their time in places where it isn't.

Back in that twilight era when there were music videos for most hit songs, and MTV was actually still showing them. People are going to be amazed at what a big deal TRL and Carson Daly were.

Some of those videos from that era were really elaborate, almost short films. Now we seem to have largely gone back to a more 80s-style, where the bands just perform.

Overall good post, but:

Yesterday, I had a wide-ranging Slack conversation with some very nice people who patiently allowed this privileged white male to repeatedly touch the third rail of diversity and inclusion. That conversation led me to the realizations in this post. I’ll thank them by not naming them, and by promising never to bring this up in their Slack channel again.

In other words, people openly hated on him for wanting to discuss something with them and get informed -- a white male in a position of power that few women or poc occupy. And all they can do is make him scared to bring it up again and act like the abuse they heaped upon him is some sort of privilege he didn't deserve or something.

Wow.

I am so sick of women and people of color being openly hateful to people who were born the "wrong" gender and color to be part of the unfortunate many. Hello? Whining about how "it isn't my job to explain this stuff to you!" instead of being all "OMG! An opportunity to have a useful conversation with a white male who is actually curious about how the so-called other half live!" is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

(Before you auto-downvote this on the assumption that I am some overprivileged asshole man, please note I am a woman.)
Amazon sues former AWS VP over non-compete
> I don't like the way they've titled their research.

The authors' title, as it appears in the journal the study was submitted to is "Automated 3-D Printed Arrays to Evaluate Genotoxic Chemistry: E-Cigarettes and Water Samples" (see http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acssensors.7b00118).

The "E-cigarettes ‘Potentially as Harmful as Tobacco Cigarettes’" title comes from "UConn Today", a university news site.

Just to be clear that the academics didn't choose this silly title.
The specifications, at least the C and C++ specifications, absolutely point these things out.

SEEKING FREELANCER - I'm in the US -- Anytime is good - Remote is okay as long as we communicate

Got a project for scraping. I'm testing casperjs/selenium. However, we/I are curious as to whether a faster process can be implemented by using the browser (chrome/firefox) directly.

Here's the thought process:
-we have a file with complete urls. (these urls could be inserted into the browser manually, and the resulting content generated)
-we have an extension that runs within the browser. the extension can be "triggered/fired", to read the urls from the external file, and to extract the resulting content (dynamic or static) and to write the content to an external file.
-ideally, the whole process would be able to access/use multiple tabs within the browser space to iterate through the list as fast as possible.

This is obviously a short term project. We're looking to talk to someone asap to see if this is even doable, and to then scope out the process.

This is (hopefully) the 1st of a number of projects we/I have a need for!

If you're interested, send me your contact data to usc_dog@yahoo.com

thanks

Should this really be publicly editable? Won't it just become a jumbled mess?
Luck.

I'm a senior developer. Company contacted me about a position in the Bay area. I told them I recently moved across the country and asked if they would accept remote. They said that's ok (they had other remote workers and almost everyone is remote now). Phone interview the next day and an offer the day after. Flew out about a week after that for two weeks on-site. I go back for a week every now and then on-site. The irony is that I was looking for a full-time, remote position in the Bay area for years and less than six months after I moved, there it was.

Definitely recommend looking for companies with a remote culture. At another company, they flew me in for an interview, told me they wanted to make me an offer, then refused when I told them, as I had made it clear before the interviews, that I was not interested in moving back to the bay area. I've never been so speechless in an interview as when they asked me, "What would it take to get you to come back to SF?" and I knew the figure I wanted was nowhere near what they would want to pay. I also would recommend not doing any sort of take-home assignment for any company, but especially for remote jobs. That will be a lot of wasted time and the company might not even look at your work after you've spent hours or days on it.

I hear this a lot from people who invest and I simply don't believe it. If you are able to consistently get 15-20% you should stop your normal career and just become a investment advisor/broker as for you'll make WAY more money in life.

We Could Have Had Cellphones Four Decades Earlier
Oracle is attacking the cloud space (and AWS specifically) pretty brutally. They have tons of products, from bare metal iaas to j2ee containers to almost any on-premise product they sell rebuilt as saas, in a bet to switch most of their traditional userbase to subscription-based offerings. That's why prices are good and talent is well looked-after.

In terms of success rates, they vary from niche to niche. I'm in Europe and here they're struggling a bit, because 1) their reputation for arbitrary price fluctuations doesn't really entice people to move to *aas, 2) a lot of their customers are big companies operating in strict regulatory conditions, 3) they really pissed off a lot of people by basically dropping any on-premise development beyond the bare minimum.
This approach finds its parallels in other collaborative spaces where meritocracy is valued; open source software development comes to mind. In that arena, this approach was widely deployed, but is at odds with the more recent trend of explicitly stating to promote inclusion and diversity.

Staunchly meritocratic online interaction and collaboration, from software development to messageboards, allows people to cultivate identities largely defined by their contributions, which is often distinct, or even at odds, from the identity they wish to demonstrate in their real life. In online spaces where individual contributors aren't restricted from speaking out against the leadership, this disconnect will manifest instead of being suppressed.

While I don't disagree with the author's recommendations and rationale, it's unfortunate that the OP's argument essentially reduces down to the fact that the less casual interaction between people, the more inclusivity will result. It's also re-framing the implied problem: the equality vs. equity debate. In the OP's view, the solution is to cultivate a minimalist, work-focused culture that solves the inclusivity question by avoiding it entirely. This is very much at odds with the approach that receives a lot more press these days, which seeks to prescriptively address inclusivity within its own problem-space.
Bonus question: are there C or C++ remote jobs? Basically non-web and non-mobile development jobs.

It's not even a tax. It's an alternative (and likely better) work flow. Online and remote-first processes should be the default. Why? Because you can record them, distribute them, play them back and use them as a reference. Even if you don't allow remote and have any level of team colocation this should be the default.

Even meetings make more sense at your computer. Who wants to squint at an overhead in a room full of people? I'd rather get a close-up view of the presentation (screenshare) and be able to hear everyone clearly. I can capture screenshots, take notes, schedule follow ups etc.
Both of those confuse me. jQuery's peak popularity as a stand-alone resource was before SPA's were even a thing.

Agreed on all counts, my lungs definitely feel significantly better.
Is that totally truthful though? How much do you have to smoke for it to really be dangerous? If I keep a pack around for 1-2 months, and have a few cigarettes a week, how much am I really increasing my chances? I don't smoke 1-2 packs a day like some smokers do, I certainly don't have the same odds do I? Can it be possible that the truth is that you can smoke in moderation without any significant increase in risk? I would certainly like to know the real picture.

All I ever see is picture of black lungs, messages of certain cancer and death. To me, this is like those people who have pictures of dead fetuses for their anti-abortion message. It's extreme, and sets of red-flags in my brain.

I fucking love smoking. It gives me a way to chill out and unwind for 10-15 minutes. It's great for my mental health, because I won't do it in my house... I have to get away from the computer, I have to stop what I'm doing. It gets me away from everything.

The goal here is to make it easy for some one to add data.
