Well... using a GUI to get things done is why I went with FreeNAS. I just couldn't be bothered having to learn (and remember, or otherwise relearn every few months!) the various potentially fiddly options needed for samba/nfs/zfs/whatever.

... and it did turn out to be a good intro for getting back into FreeBSD anyway, as I needed to add driver support for Mellanox cards. :D

That being said, I still use it as my main NAS here, and would do so again. I can happily forget 95% of the command line stuff I'd otherwise need to remember, and put that time to good use on other things. :)
Why Is It Convenient to Buy Steroids from the Online Market?
Testosterone is the hormone which is produced by Leydig cells present in the testicles in a male body, which helps to increase the muscle mass and strengthen the bones. Steroids are the different form of this hormone which is also known as the sex hormone in a male body. In order to get the best body shape, one must choose to buy testosterone online for the best experience.

Ask HN: How do you find a worthy startup idea?
During the summer break I've been feeling anxious due to not having a worthy startup or side project to work on. By worthy, I mean something that actually has potential to make money. I've taken online courses and even released an app years ago which made some pocket change but now it feels like I've hit a wall.

I find it harder to come up with ideas as time goes by partly because I can find flaws in them more easily.

I don't want to just wait for the perfect problem but I also don't want to start on building something just because of how anxious I feel by doing nothing.

Has anyone else been through something like this? How did you get out of it?
Now that's a good idea.
The problem is in how we define life and consciousness, particularly when they are completely, unimaginably alien to us. Conway's Game of Life?
Love this. Catana and Daisy have different approaches, Daisy is distributing databases that can bootstrap an offline app, while Catana is truly a decentralized online database. Both are really interesting ideas, thanks for pointing it out!
It seems like HN is trying to tell you something:

A minimal celery deployment is 1 or two configuration options. Celery does have a metric ton of moving parts but distributed systems are hard and celery can do a lot of things.

This isn't the first time I have seen this sentiment. Perhaps there is a documentation problem to be solved and/or a basic API that could be provided by Celery?

There's no true Scotsman, you know.

This solves a real problem and it works great. There's no horrible issue with getting a UAC dialog every time you do a sudo command. After all, in Windows (for better or worse) you need to be Administrator for less stuff.

It all comes down to the campus culture. Our CS Dean at the time was an 'old school' cranky pants kind of guy, so I don't think he would have taken kindly to such a breach.

On the other hand, the new Dean of the computing faculty that took over the year after was a really cool guy, and he is someone I wouldn't have had any hesitation to go to and report such incidents.
The main issue I have with this feature is that as far as I can tell there is no way to opt out. I don't want this feature and I choose not to respond to the notifications I occasionally receive when there is a terrorist event in my city. That leaves me in a bind - unless I tell friends and family who use Facebook that I'm actively choosing not to use the feature, they invariably begin to worry about me when I don't 'mark myself as safe'. This to me is unacceptable.
Mostly offtopic, but: Is it just me, or based on both politics, social dynamics and economic indicators, Japan is economically speaking a house of cards waiting to fucking fall apart in a huuuuge crysis?! I mean, I guess that aged population coupled with pro-peace/buddshit-style mindsets in some younger ones stabilized things a bit... but for how long?

(Don't tell me US is the same: the transparency with which they wash their dirty laundry in international public waters, and the fact that they have many layers of "social backups" are just two reasons to believe otherwise.)
Call me skeptical regarding being held without charge in Japan. I know of a certain infamous French national that was held for months without charge there. [1]. The loophole I guess was adding a second charge when the first 'grace period' expired.

> "The Singapore region is now open as asia-southeast1. [...] the total number of paid GCP customers in Singapore has increased by 100% over the last 12 months."

I willing to bet that a significant number of these are Indian customers. Singapore AWS, Softlayer, Azure were the closest datacenters to India for a long time. Now Azure and AWS have india datacenter ... and google has been promising one for a long time.

Indian startups (like mine) which have a buy-in to the Google ecosystem have to operate from the closest point - Singapore. I wish you guys launch the Mumbai datacenter soon enough.
Yeah, I'd really like to see MS implement some method for applications to automatically request elevation when they try to do something that they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to.

Also, not sure why you've received two replies, that are - as far as I can see, completely irrelevant to what you've written; it's bizarre.
Right but that would also be true and exactly what you'd expect if interviewer mainly judged technical competency on ability to communicate. Since the form is self reported it's impossible to separate out whether the correlation is causal (poor communicators are poor technically) or due to interviewer bias (poor communicators have a harder time convincing interviewers of their technical chops) or even other factors (being flustered hurts both a candidates communication and technical skills).

This is after all an advertorial piece of data spelunking not a study.
This seems like a popular thought. Parasites and disease help prevent a monoculture and encourages are healthier ecosystem. The more dominant a single species is the greater the risk that the increased density will result in disease/parasites. This accumulates over time... makes one wonder if technology is a match for whatever is coming down the pipe. Round 1 was the black plague and we didn't do so well.

I'm certainly not okay with having to use a closed processor to run my software. I'm longing for an alternative. Hopefully RISC-V will show some buyable results.
I can never forgive them for what they did to Kojima. That man is a treasure and helped create some of my most formative games. I'd say I won't buy any more of their games but they don't seem interested in making any.
You know what one of the absolute defenses against libel is?

The truth.

Konami treated Kojima like shit, Kojima left and took most of the talent with him. What Konami has left is a pretty cool engine and a hot IP, no creatives. MGS fans know it and don't respect Konami's next project even a little. Zombie-survival alternate universe, really?

In contrast I don't even know what Kojima's next thing is, it'll probably be pretty cool though. Kojima is good at over the top absurd and awesome.

Also, it's a fucking travesty that Fox Engine won't be used for anything important ever again, because for an open-world engine it runs like a dream. Too bad the online multiplayer is a non-stop cheatfest.
Hi!

What a ride you've been on!

I read your post and two things jumped out that I would like to address.

#1: You are exhausted

Rightly so! Building a company, keeping it alive, and selling it is exhausting in the best of circumstances. You do need a break. But please, don't do "nothing". Don't go back to work. Don't start another company just yet. But don't sit on a couch with a beer in your hand either.

Travel, exercise, pick up a new sport or hobby, perhaps learn how to play chess well. Keep your mind and body occupied in a productive and positive way. The exhaustion and built up tension will go away.

#2: You're not good at anything and feel like a failure

How wrong you are! You are not a failure. You have super-valuable skills, but just don't know how to name them and sell them.

You attempted two experiments that did not pan out. You provided jobs for people. You even managed to have a small albeit fruitful exit in your second venture. Wow!

Sorry to hear it did not pan out the way you've hoped. That happens more often than not.

Your skills: management & leadership, plus whatever hard skills you have.

Your future:

If you are feeling restless and want a job now, look for positions in companies that match your skills. Middle management in big firms. Upper management in small firms. Something that fits with your area of expertise and something you enjoy doing. It may be sales, marketing, or tech. Your experience in leadership and management that you acquired while running your firms, coupled with any amount of hard skills is a very marketable skill.

On the other hand, if you have already founded two companies, my crystal ball tells me you will go on to start a third. Don't do it now to fill a void. Do it when your gut tells you its time and your mind proposes a viable idea. This may be after six months of learning judo, or after a two year stint at a big corporation. Entrepreneurship is a trait, and it seems you have it in you.

Best of luck!
chandlerc had a similar initial reaction. I eventually badgered him into trying it, and now he preaches the gospel whenever someone talks about a bug they can't figure out.

Maybe it's the kind of thing that is hard to get until you try it. I'm like glandium -- I almost never use gdb proper anymore, and hard bugs seem to vaporize as soon as I run rr replay. In particular, the idiom of "notice a bad value, set a watchpoint, reverse-continue" completely changed my relationship with my debugger.

For me, debugging flakes is a small part of the value, although maybe that just reflects the kinds of systems I work on.

I do agree there's probably no need to run all tests under rr, at least with the setup we have at Google.
>From a mpg(society) perspective, some urban commuter might do far better in a Prius than in, say, a Suburban. This might be the result of advertising and also a net gain for society.

Yes, but advertising is neutral to that. It will advertise a low-mpg smog-emitting monster just as well as a Prius.

And it will prioritise advertising cars (which make them more money) over public transit or bicycles and so on.
It's not nuclear bomb that is the biggest concern in Korea conflict (as of now, North Korea's nuclear capabilities are more of show-off kind, not real, tactical threat), but the insane numbers of conventional artillery in range of Seoul(0) that can turn it to rubble in few hours in case of war.

That seems to be an abuse of the security check feature by Facebook's part. 6 mile radius for a fire in a ridiculously large city? As mentioned in other comments, that feature can be very useful in cases of natural disasters or large terror attacks that prompted the creation of this feature. (Although, to be frank, living in Istanbul, it had become somewhat annoying to mark myself safe every couple of weeks or so - though this is more directed towards the Turkish government than Facebook)
I thought it was well known and well complained about that when you post something not everyone sees it. The way my timeline seems to be right now if someone posted they're safe right this moment I wouldn't see it until tomorrow night.
This is roughly how a job search for me would go if I were to do it right now:

I would probably go directly to the companies I'm interested in once I've done a ton of research into the companies and their trajectories/teams. There'd probably only be a handful of companies that I'd be interested in joining. Luckily I'm in the Bay Area so there's a lot of great ones that wouldn't require me to move.

I could get my foot in the door at most companies just based on my resume (nothing insane - a consistent trajectory with good performance at a string of top companies/startups helps). But after that, I'd be royally screwed by the interview process if I didn't prepare thoroughly for the algorithms puzzles for a solid month or two. LeetCode (online coding practice) and Cracking The Code Interview (book) are popular review material for exactly this so I'd review those after work and on the weekends. Even after preparation there's still an unnecessarily big element of luck built into the standard tech interview process. With luck and preparation hopefully a couple of the companies from my shortlist work out and that would be that.

Yep - I do a far bit of "stupid idea testing" and joke websites for friends to laugh at. I use it as a VPN server sometimes. It's almost certainly hideously over sold on the hardware it sits on, but for a lot of stuff I don't really care... I'm happy enough with what I get from them to not be too fussed by them asking me for $9/year for what they said I'd get for my one time $35 payment... (And I realise that I'm super privileged being able to write off $9 as "an expensive beer" rather than "the difference between making rent this month or not"...)
One Hundred Years of the Espionage Act
rabboRubble To start off I understand your point that the Safety Check feature can be valuable. Japan's typhoon system is fantastic example you brought up where the entire population of a city needs to, after the incident, notate their safety. However, this is vastly different than the case being discussed of the London fire. In the London fire a small minority, ~500 people, results in a 6 miles notification (other comments said ~9 million people). As stated this kind of notification provides very little value. And instead provides negative value by switching peoples perceived safety ("I think my mother is safe sleeping currently") to a "required" opt-in safety check ("Well she hasn't said anything...so is she?").

This difference is my problem with the Safety Check system and, I believe, the authors. If there is an event where my safety is indeed in a majority questionable state (Typhoon takes out my town) then prompt me with a check #ThankYou. If there was an event which doesn't swing to a majority question then leave it to the individual case.

2 side notes:
1. Why do I personally take issue? Well, I was a student during the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Ohio_State_University_att... and felt "forced" to provide my answer to the Safety Check as I know my one crazy aunt would go loony if I didn't. In no way did the event warrant this switch from perceived safety to opt-in safety (it was 13 students hurt of >50,000).

2. As other commenters have noted "With great power, comes great responsibility!". If they're going to deploy this technology make sure it provides value and effects, changes safety to opt-in, for the smallest possible subset. Additionally, as you pointed out in your original post allow individuals to add themselves to the Safety Check list if you are getting spammed with messages.

Sorry for the long post but, like the author, I was very taken aback when I first encountered this feature on Facebook. While I understand the good intentions. Personally, it fell into the area of prompting a world where we need that instant knowledge, text back, response, etc. which frankly isn't that healthy...
If a journalist with no experience learned to code on the side and built something interesting we would applaud. We wouldn't make them an SRE at Google or Uber.

The obvious counter to this argument is that Google, Uber, etc frequently acqui-hire companies founded by people with no professional experience. That's the very definition of hiring someone because they made something interesting.

Facebook can't make money off that or make people feel like it's necessary to their lives. Similarly, Facebook couldn't take a cut out of people recovering from these events unless they integrated it into their platform.

This is especially problematic when you consider Facebook’s business model benefits from increased engagement with its platform. Add to that, it also recently stepped into the personal fundraising space. And today, as chance would have it, Facebook announced that Safety Check will be integrating these personal fundraisers (starting in the US).

An FAQ for Facebook’s Fundraisers notes that the company levies a fee for personal donations of 6.9% + $.30, while fees for nonprofit donations range from 5% to 5.75%.

"Embedded developers" are really not Arduino's target audience. It's always been a platform for expanding the market of electronics hobbyists some of whom go on to learn more of the underlying chip features if they do something more serious.

On the other hand if you are in the business ​of selling embedded development education to newbies, then you need to realize that Arduino is outcompeting you - like iPhone destroyed the old Windows smartphones.
To your second point, I already use Discord over Slack at work. It is better in every way that matters. Some open source communities are feeling it out too.
Seems trivial, if Python which is so dynamic could get it, to give it to Java with a similar static checker.

I agree that Celery is too much complex, but this solution is overly simple. If your worker process fails after the BRPOP and before running the task, then the task is lost.
But it's extremely cumbersome from the CLI.

RunAs always asks for password for the Administrator account (not the account for the delegated account like sudo). I have admin access to my work PC, but not the Administrator password (since UAC grants me access). Also, running elevated programs always in separate windows, so you can't redirect their input/output. And CLI program disappear instantly (no time to read the output).

I have used elevate.exe (http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/) but sudo seems even better (supports redirecting input/output).

My grandfather has always (my mother has identical stories from when she was young) been deadly afraid when, on tv or newspaper, a city or even country was named and I was there. Like when I was in Seattle and in the news there was some big fire somewhere in the US, he would panic and start calling my mother.
Well, this is what unions are for. In the countries I know, union membership gets you legal costs insurance for work related cases (for exactly these power dynamics). And economies of scale usually mean that unions have pretty good employment law attorneys.

Granted, I have no idea how it works in Japan.
Charleston terminal evacuated as suspected dirty bomb reported on Maersk ship
I literally wrote something identical just over a week ago; even called it sudo as well. Mine's in .NET as a little EXE. It's about 10 lines of code. I am not dissing this effort though. Far from it. Open Source is cool.

It's annoying that you still have to navigate the UAC dialog though - not sure how to get around that, without compromising security.

For those talking about right-click on the EXE... If you live in the command prompt, having to reach for the mouse just to elevate is irritating as hell.
Eagerly awaiting Indian region. :)
I agree, everyone knows it is biased and has scandals from time to time.

Since Trump won, I see it bashed in blogs and forums for helping Trump win. If only conservatives watch it and believe it, that means they can only influence less than half the population. The liberals etc that didn't even vote allowed the GOP to win in 2016.

So if you hate Fox and want the GOP out, go out and vote for Democrats each election. Don't blame Fox news and others, get involved in politics and also vote and encourage others to do so as well.
That really seems like the plot to a Michael Crichton novel. Fascinating.
