"Lifestyle business" is derogatory propaganda by the investor class, who wants you to think like them and make more money for them. Every business is a lifestyle business, after all you only have one life. Investors want you to spend your time making money for them, instead of doing what you love. If you love making money too, then by all means listen to what they have to say, but take it all with a big bowlful of salt.
Eiger Dreams has a chapter on Gill. Worth a read if you're interested.
Arch Linux is so powerful thanks to its amazing community. You got access to over 70k packages with one command (stable: pacman, community: yaourt). Whatever you're looking for, it's there.

I run the same setup for almost 7 years without any issues, and it's always fast, always reliable and productive. I prefer Xmonad over pretty stuff like KDE though, just like many Arch users. It's not beautiful and there is a learning curve, but once you got used to it, you can use it for years, just like me and lots of other people. And it'll give you a stability that lasts years.

Recently I created a distro based on Arch, to attract more pragmatic developers to use Arch. My distro is called Happy Hacking Linux and unlike Arch, it comes with a ready-to-use desktop. It's a niche distro made just for pragmatic developers, so its installation wizard starts with asking where your dotfiles are located, and sets up a system that you can immediately start building stuff. Last January, I converted my dad's old desktop pc to my personal development workspace within 30 minutes. And that useless machine was running my workspace as fast as a brand new Mac with bloated OSX.

You can always DoS a node by forcing it into the bus off state with an error flag whenever it transmits. Allows plenty of mayhem without needing to break any authentication.
I'd just tape over the yellow cartridge head
The only explanation I can think of for required login is that their primary performance metric (eg to investors) is monthly actives and they're worried that anonymous flyby visitors will muck up their numbers.
I've yet to see one Google/Waymo car doing 90mph on the highway with Lane Keeping Assist Level 3 Autopilot. Not ten, not five, or even one. Tesla has thousands of them doing it as you read this.
And don't forget `oflag=direct` if you use dd directly
Cool. Where can I buy a Google / Waymo car? I will be happy to.

Sometimes shipping is a key.
Exactly right. This isn't for iPads, it's for glasses two years from now.
There's a huge variance between different schools, and an average grade from one university may be better than good grade from some different one. Additionally, I don't really ask questions that require some particular knowledge from algorithm classes -- it would be silly to determine whether someone is a good hire based on whether they remember details of, say, Hopcroft-Karp algorithm. On the other hand, many algorithm classes are all about this kind of stuff.

So, I generally feel like it makes more sense to try to determine the actual aptitude when you have an opportunity, instead of trying to measure it by possible decades old proxy with huge and unknown variance. If you had good grade and/or spent some time studying for the interview, and really meet the hiring bar, you'll most likely do well in the interviews anyway. There's some noise in the process, and good qualified candidates are sometimes rejected, but from company's perspective, it's better to have some false negatives, than to give another metric that can be easily gamed, and get false positives. Google has enough qualified candidates applying for a job to make it not that big of a deal if you lose some due to the noise.
Putting in 128 enables them to waste the address space the same way IPv4 was treated decades ago. "Oh, you want to hook up a classroom? Here's a /16 <-> /64". If address space is so plentiful the default home isp allocation is /64, there's something wrong here.

I can somewhat easily remember a bunch of IPv4 addresses. I'll probably never memorize an IPv6 one, unless it's one of the 0xface cafe babe 0000 ones. Which waste address space even more, see above.
Almost agree 100%, but why would you encrypt the whole disk? There is no need for that. It's 100% free software availabe for anyone. Encrypt your home directory. And this has Ubuntu figured out quite nicely IMHO.
It is a Apple developer conference for software developers that care about making beautiful applications that take full advantage of native experiences on Apple platforms.

There's not enough land for most people to have a garden, and it's a rare sporting venue in major world cities that is now (a) based on proper dirt, with an ecosystem (b) not pumped full of chemicals (c) used by a large percentage of the population for sports that would readily and regularly facilitate eating dirt. Otherwise, I agree wholeheartedly.
I think that it is more complicated then this.

There are a lot of laws involved when you wish to become a financial operator and that can be a real pain for Stripe to handle in each country separately. PayPal managed to do this. For example PayPal operates as a bank in Europe to be able to conform to laws.
Apple adds FLAC support in iOS 11
If it ends up that the government doesn't release the evidence because "our methods and the public is too stupid anyway" then we are heading for some incredibly dark times.

One thing people forget to mention about the FBI director 10 year term is that it wasn't put in place in order to have a director serve over a long period of time (somewhat like the SCOTUS) but to prevent somebody from amassing so much information and power that they can blackmail anybody.

That was decades ago, we now have agencies like the NSA who have far more information on people and if we are going to top that off with allowing them to make claims on wrongdoing without having to disclose actual evidence I just don't know such power could be kept in check.
Great question. That would be spectacular. Have we ever observed such an event? Seems like, statistically, relatively close solar bodies would rarely collide.

Replying while somewhat under-slept here, but I've been taking the course and from everything seen so far Startup School is an excellent step in the right direction. The world today needs more people solving the problems they see in the world, instead of waiting to make enough money in a job that may be automated soon enough, or relying on benefits and insurance that can be ripped apart by a politician's pen. Building something from scratch is hard, and veering off-road is obviously easy (going to press to early, raising huge amounts, or not raising when you have a viral product, being scared away by a patent troll, hiring people for the sake of headcount, you name it). Compound the problems you have with additional regulatory burdens in other countries, and it can be downright impossible to make something new (vs starting another store, or restaurant).

YC tries to make it as simple as possible to make the life of ENTREPRENEURS survivable(Not just VC-fundable businesses). If that wasn't the case, Startup School would include an investment that gets you into the feedback loop of having to produce returns for someone. Not asking for equity is a great feature, because it encourages experimentation and provides railings to keep as many of these experiments on the lane that gives them room to validate and less risk of predictable failures. School may even be the wrong term here, I would call it an Apprenticeship, because you are practicing and mastering your craft with mentors and peers in practice.

This Apprenticeship for Entrepreneurs, crafted by YC, needs to spread with as much quality mentors and talent, as is available, and it needs to have proper funnels doubling down on people who strike gold by meeting a high-demand unmet need. Startups at advanced stages should more qualified support and more funding for equity. (Right now that step is YC Core)

Do that across any country and market segment and you won't need to worry about Jobs automation. Humanity will have an efficient method to create as many entrepreneurs out of Job bleeds as it needs and to lead them into fixing problems that actually need fixing.
Arch is just too much time for me doing sysadmin and keeping up with breaking changes (it's a rolling distro, so all kinds of system configurations are possible, many are untested or just bleeding edge).

If you like using an unstable bleeding edge system where you have to configure everything yourself by hand with absolutely zero tolerance for user error, use Arch.

If I'm on a tight schedule with doing mission critical projects on my work computer where there are hard deadlines and Murphy's Law involved, forget it.

If you're curious, I'm currently using Mint with Cinnamon.
CAN-FD raised the baud rate to 12mbit. Honestly, in my applications where I have idiotic ascii logs transmitted over CAN due to management idiots, I've only managed to saturate reception buffers rather than the bus.
How do you authenticate through NFC PGP on Android? Is that something specific to your company or is there a public app that you're using?

Yes! Combining miniatures with overlaid graphics and handling the dice roles etc would be awesome.

The point on shipping is appropriate... But just for clarity: of all the autonomous cars companies that ultimately "succeed", you will probably not be able to purchase cars from at least half of them. You'll only be able to purchase rides.
The South China Morning Post, even though more under mainland control than it was a year ago, is worth reading. For a while, they had a paywall, but it seems now to be inoperative for the "international edition".

The CIA used to have the Foreign Broadcast Monitoring Service, later the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, now the Open Source Center. During the Cold War, they had people listening to most of the national radio stations of the Communist countries and taking notes. Most of this was utter drivel; Radio Albania was mostly long speeches by their dictator. Sometimes something important would be announced, and it was the CIA's job to notice, so somebody had to listen. Must have been an awful job before it was computerized.
You can already do that. How do you think stunt cars work?

just throw in a off the shelf servo to control the steering wheel and two more to run the brakes and gas. Throw in a off the shelf RC controller and you got yourself a giant RC car.

Probably faster than trying to hack a car when you got a perfectly good no authentication interface.
Github has added all sorts of proprietary integration points to prevent it from being this easy, like push based checkin notifications. Then developers get lure by the drag'n'drop CI servers that integrate with them.

Unfortunately people only care about API's now instead of standards.
Question for all the Arch peeps, what's the goal/purpose of Arch? As an outside observer it seems needlessly complicated and most of the complexity being specific to Arch. Why not just run Slack or Debian if you want a barebones full distro? Slack and BSD's are closer to old school UNIX. Arch is after my time, am I missing something?
I think I understand you, its like having a sex with or w/o a condom ;)
The filesystem can't be responsible for displaying anything, though. Displaying filenames is the job of the shell / window manager / etc.

The filesystem is much better off handling filenames as a number of arbitrary bytes. Let people who want to put weird bytes in their filenames see ugly filenames along the lines of "\x00 Can you see this?"
I'm really skeptical about the granny shot. The legend of the granny shot mostly comes from the free throw record of Rick Barry, who is admittedly an all-time great from the line, but he's also the only all-time great to shoot that way, and he doesn't even have the best career free throw percentage in NBA history. Complicating matters even further, the WNBA player with the best career free throw percentage, Elena Delle Donne, has a free throw percentage a couple points higher than any NBA player (making her perhaps the most proficient free throw shooter in the history of professional basketball) and even she shoots overhand: http://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/d/delleel01...

It doesn't make a lot of sense to have two completely different shot mechanics that you have to practice and train. Aside from Rick Barry, every good free throw shooter seems to use a variation on their normal shooting mechanic, sometimes starting with a consistent dribbling ritual to get them into rhythm (e.g. Rip Hamilton or Klay Thompson). Poor free throw shooters tend to be people who either don't have great shot mechanics in the first place or people who struggle with the unique mental pressure of free throw shooting. In the flow of a game it's hard to overthink yourself and get psyched out, so even guys like Bruce Bowen who could nail catch-and-shoot corner threes sometimes struggled when the game slowed down enough for the pressure to sink in.

Bunting to me seems more akin to the kind of "dirty work" that great players master and good players think they're above doing, like setting hard screens and making an effort on defense. If you're a really good bunter, you're not gonna have the kinds of numbers and highlight plays that lead to fame or fortune. Similarly, if you set hard screens or close off passing lanes or do a lot of the hard work that leads to wins but don't really lead to great individual stats, people are going to ignore you and assume a stat-chasing ball hog like Russell Westbrook is better than you.

It's a weird situation to be an adult. You got cautious along the years (for good or bad reasons) and somehow forgot what you did. When I remember all the crazy things we did as 5yo .. climbing trees out of the blue, alone, no supervision, no phones. We're all alive and well.

> U2F via NFC is a great way to authenticate on Android

Unfortunately as far as I know only Yubikey NEO and Fidesmo card support it with Fidesmo being practically not usable. From https://www.fidesmo.com/nfc-u2f-android/ :

> Google’s own account security website, that on desktop allows you to register U2F devices, says that the feature is not compatible with the Chrome browser on Android. The account security site on GitHub seems to support the feature is a bit better. When pressing the button to add a token to the account it properly launches Google Authenticator to register the U2F device. When tapping the card and returning to the GitHub site however it doesn’t seem to have registered that anything has happened.

> IIRC, the Obama administration spun the low participation rate as something akin to "Well, now that people don't have to have jobs for medical insurance, now they're free to drop out of the workforce and pursue their hobbies" or something.

You recall incorrectly. The Obama Administration never spun low labor force participation like that.
> To clarify, other here refers to anything other than a color laser?

Right.

> Also, are color LED printers included as color laser? (I would think so).

Yes. We could also perhaps say "color printers other than inkjet or dot matrix".

Also color photocopiers (using the same codes).
The only thing dystopian about this is the service eventually selling off the data and others data mining you even more detailed.
I have a rather unpopular opinion that JS libraries get popular for reasons unrelated to merit, such as corporate backing (React), appeal to beginners (jQuery), and adding syntax sugar that has no value to end-users (Underscore/Lodash, Babel). They are symptomatic of organizational problems related to herding programmers at scale.

To beat the average, by definition you can't just do what everyone else is doing and expect outstanding results. If your problem is unique there won't be a library for it. If you find or create a hidden gem, it's your secret weapon, you are its user and responsible for it.
There is. It's called Hacker News. There's isn't a better resource to learn more about starting a small business than HN itself. From starting a consulting business to creating a passive income, everything has been extensively discussed. There are tons of inspiring stories here about creating a small business. (Incidentally, I think it would a great idea to collect all entrepreneurship related threads in a single place.)

HN's expertise falls short when it comes to adjudicating unicorns as they don't usually look promising at the beginning. But, in case of a small product, I think community's feedback and advice can be invaluable.
Where does an application like this fall in YC's "request for startups". Is that list just a bunch of fluff to project lofty morals?

The fact that Tango isn't on the Pixel means Google has no confidence in it and nobody should invest in it as Google will likely abandon it quickly. It's a shame, I think it's great idea, and they'll only end up playing catch up later if they do.

Dead/live ball was probably more consequential.
It was recently pointed out by a prominent member of the community that developers should stop naming personal assistants after women, because it's not a woman's job to help you out.

Net Neutrality is really the name of the concept. The most recent relevant legislation regarding the FCC, classification and jurisdiction is the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which was intended to foster innovation and competition following the break up by the DOJ of the Ma Bell monopoly.

I specified legislation since it's distinct from the FCC rules which were most recently passed by the Obama administration:

Here's a very abridged history:

To answer your question there is no single document that could serve as a compliance check list for a network engineer. A key criteria is that it applies to ISPs. This is probably the best Network Engineer-centric document I have seen published on the subject:

http://escholarship.org/uc/item/3466f4pp#page-1

Also the Daily Dot recently posted an article reviewing some of the more well-publicized violations of Net Neutrality from the last 10 or so years. I'm including it because I think a network engineer being asked to implement these polices would have foreseen the controversy:

10 Best Inspirational Travel Quotes
3 Breathtaking Days in Mahé Island, Seychelles
Yes, of their actual job they probably do very little. This is already part of being secret and fighting secrets. Being secret means there is no way you need to follow any standards or reviews. So your work ethic must not be very high. And fighting secrets is hard. You can even see that when working in a team of considerable size (e.g. 10+ people). It's hard even to track all the open, important and even marketed information. Think about how many actual secrets there are that are kept by people who really try.

But there are other things these agencies do wonderfully.

A) When you have a real hint, and even if it is just a competitor, you can employ lots of fighting power, technology etc to track them. This in itself is already worth much. Think about bugging another country's chancelor's phone. Awesome!

B) Scaring your own population into behaving. If you think you are observed all day by CIA, FBI and NSA you are more likely to do stupid things that harm the common piece.

C) Doing things that would be illegal for the government, like funding dictatorships delivering weapons to drug lords, etc.

So I think even if everybody knows that spies don't really succeed as much as people thought we will still continue to have spy agencies.
GitHub cancels conference after an all male speaker panel was selected
I can still be an outsider and be genuinely interested in what their platform has to offer and, maybe, later decide that I want to invest in their platform. I become a better developer, Apple gains a new developer, everyone wins.

Forcing people to use macOS to view recorded sessions or events goes against that.
I see no reason it wouldn't work on the SE too, as it uses the same camera and SoC as the iPhone 6S.
Debian is not kept as up to date as arch. There's also no AUR equivalent. AUR had Steam for Linux packaged for example about 2h after the official release, with people adding the missed dependencies very shortly.

Also not having many prescribed defaults is sometimes nice. I want KDE with that display manager / lockscreen. And I can have it without uninstalling some metapackage which will make updates harder in the future. (like gnome-desktop on Ubuntu)

I haven't used slack for over a decade, so can't really comment.

Also until recently it was one of the few distros with nicely integrated grsec kernel. :-(

In case that's not clear: this one was freshly made, specifically for this thread, tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of the Funciton language.

I chose the "flame form" format as a tribute to usenet, and for being eye-catching. It's an easy way to digest the cognitive dimensions framework applied to a practical case, which I wanted to spread. Hacker News is a good place to divulge relevant concepts to people interested in visual languages.

Apparently, this is not always implemented correctly on SSDs. It should take quite some time, but if it finishes after a few seconds, it probably didn't really wipe your SSD securely.
I've always wondered what the concept of a "backspace" character was supposed to mean. (I tried printing it to erase a previously printed character, but that doesn't work.)

I guess it's another relic of the idea that computer output goes to a printer rather than a display?
