Why not? They are not complicit in this, and they can have legitimate claim to clean it up. And even some credit for the future, where they can treat new cases as "remnants from the old management". Of course, that credit will expire, but not immediately.

why does that argument get thrown around so much? flash runs in sandboxed processes too these days.
My problem is strength of the bag. Once I put all of my gear into a bag, if I start adding documents or manuals, the bag begins to break down. The strap becomes worn, and the point of failure of where the strap connects to the top of the bag, usually goes first. I wish these bags had a weight rating.
'Competition' is about competing for the available housing. If there's less housing, because of zoning laws and NIMBYism, the competition will be fiercer and prices higher. No one is saying that San Fran will ever be dirt cheap, just that it could be a lot cheaper if the market were allowed to function there.
> When the iPhone first came out, the way you measured your heart rate was by putting your finger over the camera on the back of the phone.

Actually, no. Pulse-oximeters were always quite cheap. Also, Casio had heart rate (although not continuous) monitors on some of their watches for many years.
I have encrypted backups of all my 2FA secrets in two locations. I change phones every year and have never lost an account.
I'm in love with this, I have nothing constructive to add but you should be really proud of this work. Reminded me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4

Foreign investors buying up single family dwellings and turning them into managed AirBNB rentals is also a problem.
The judge asked them to drop all the patent claims, even the one that Google claims Uber is still using/infringing, which means it's unlikely to be related to whether or not Uber was or continues to infringe on them and more likely to be related to the strength of the patents themselves. A lot of patents get invalidated during cases like these...
No, that is not backup or DR or BC (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity). What you are describing is personal data management mixed up with backup.
Thank you for outing yourself as a criminal.

Regardless of whether or not meritocracy exists, and particularly of the morality of the law, taking more than the system allows you to is pretty much the definition of criminality. Whether that be through plain old theft, fraud, illegal substance dealing, or violent crime.

This article reads like trashy bragging to me. I must be getting old.
I wonder if this submission would have gone to the front page if I had added game (or [game]) in the title as I first intended when posting it...
I use rsnapshot to create hourly/daily/weekly/monthly snapshots of configured systems. Backups are written to a dedicated drive (which just started showing SMART-errors at so I'll replace it ASAP). I regularly create PGP-encrypted archives of selected sets which get stored off-site, spread around the 'net on cloud hosting services. I'm also thinking about making an arrangement with some friends and family members who have a) good network connections and b) personal servers and c) a need to backup such to swap off-site backup copies - I'll store yours if you store mine. I currently have about 100 GB in 'critical' data which is stored off-site.

I also keep current copies of most configuration data for all systems, mainly by backing up their /etc directories. This is also done for network equipment and remote network configuration data (zone files, etc).
The writing is a bit sneering and sarcastic, but I think it's pretty clear this is entirely about the new-agey-too-expensive-shady-pseudo-science kind of wellness and not about eating right and excercising. And this is not at all about people who can't afford insurance - the tagline is "Why are so many privileged people feeling so sick? Luckily, there’s no shortage of cures.".
While I normally strongly oppose attempts to remove humanity, in this particular case (this guy's story) that is not what I see.

For hundreds (thousands?) of years, the separation between the sexes and the expectations placed on their roles were intensely ingrained in human cultures across the globe. In less than 100 years we have upended thousands of years of cultural norms. That's no small thing.

One of the implications of this is that we are encountering situations for which we have absolutely no rule book. We just don't know how to respond to them. At all. We are stumbling around in the dark, blindly trying to figure it out, all the while trying to create a future any of us actually want to live in.

I know I wouldn't want to live in a world where my female colleagues were continually plagued by the question of their advancement relying on the fallout of a single attempt at a romantic encounter. That is not the future I want to build.

We set these boundaries - like the writer of this article - because the long term effect is that we build a world where men and women can work side by side without destroying their relationships. If more men did as he did, we would not be experiencing the hyper-sensitive environment we are seeing now. The long term effect of this behavior matters far more than the short term desire to hook up.

As in all things, there is a time and a place. The moment when a woman is attempting to get her business off the ground, and you can help her sink or swim, is not the time or place to be expressing your interest in her. She's got enough to be worrying about without that. Maybe there will be (or won't be) a later, where that moment IS appropriate. That is what happened in this case. It won't always.

He included her point of view and her needs and wants in his decision making. That is what he did. That is an incredible sign of respect. That is the future I want. There is no loss of humanity here - in fact exactly the opposite. Our humanity is also seen in the hard choices we make.

That's the humanity I want to be part of.
I'm all for build-out, but you have an interesting point here. We need some sort of elastic build-out scheme, so that if/when people move out it doesn't turn into another Detroit.

Realistically I don't think it will happen in Seattle, I don't see a lot of people moving out. Even if there is a technology bust, where would those engineers go? I doubt there will be better jobs for them anywhere else...
In this case she was not an employee. Our clients sometimes send their developers to spend a few days in house to learn the systems we write before we hand them over.

Although you make a good point, I'm not sure if I would have done it if she reported to me.
I am surprised a comment this correct to be down voted down on hn. I thought this place tried to be evidence based...
I can understand his practical concerns ("Those glass boxes won’t have a Dan’s Belltown Grocery, a little pizza joint; you’ll miss out on the divey bars, the dress sellers"), and I agree, but people need affordable housing first. Charming neighborhood businesses are awesome and I hope there's a way to preserve them, but if only the rich can afford to live near those businesses, it's just another kind of elitism.
And with all this new wealth in Seattle, Seattle Public Schools are still garbage.

At least with Redmond, Bellevue, Issaquah, and Sammamish, they invested in their public schools.
so Patreon plus content hosting?
Writing an article that very charitably wildly misrepresents events while leveling accusations at the PSF is not moving on.

I've recommended LPTHW to several new programmers, including one who I think bought the videos and really liked it.

Nonetheless, his strange dislike for python3 and continuing this flame war is not helping anyone, least of all Zed.
Why do you care about what doesn't work? If the things that work are in the set "Medicine", that's the only set we need to be concerned with.

Sure, it's worthwhile to try and figure out which medicine doesn't work, but we know for sure that anything non-medicine does, by definition, not work.
>It sounds like you are already using medication, just not ones that are approved by the FDA.

For me the difference is not if something is FDA approved or not but if I depend everyday on something new.

Because of a difficult time in high school I spent most of my time before the computer as an escape. This escape showed me also my addictive personality and the following negative consequences. And thus I'm now very reluctant to add anything addiction-like to my daily life. I never even tried coffee so far.

> Do not be afraid of antidepressants

Don't they make you dull and feel nothing? Also I wanted to focus on ADHD and not on depression/anxiety because I want to have good grades. The depression & anxiety I think I can more or less handle until the end of my masters and get by.

> Meditation is good, but regular exercise should be the first line therapy for most mental health issues: a good goal would be to do 1 hour of cardio 5 days a week. It is good even if you do half of that, but it takes most people about 45 minutes to start experiencing the "Runner's High"

Thanks, did know that there are some benefits in doing sports but not to that extent. Already cycle 10m to the train station every day and sometimes make kettle bell exercises. Will try to do more sports.

> As for amphetamines, Ritalin, etc. I can say that I don't know any young adults who are taking those drugs to get into a high-functioning zone. I do know older (65+) people who use them to shake grogginess and I know children who seem to be doing OK.

Although I don't want to try ADHD drugs, here I read a counter point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12345234

>I have been told, and I have learned, to give no quarter to negative thoughts such as you have described. It is not so easy to do because it so compelling, but trying to explore them in great detail tends to increase their power over you more than decrease it.

Yes that's indeed true, it's so easy to think negative. Thanks for sharing your insights.
No one, of course.

The problem isn't 100% negative matching (ads shown only to people who already own the thing), the problem is greedy pattern matching (ads shown to anyone who might possibly be interested). That ends up matching against people who want the thing, and people who just got the thing.

And that's not really that bad for advertisers because they only pay for the clicks. People who don't want it (perhaps because they just bought it) just won't click.

It is only a "problem" for the ad platform, in terms of the efficient use of inventory. In theory a poorly matched ad is displacing a better targeted ad that would perform better and make the platform more money.

But practically speaking it is only a competitive disadvantage if your targeting is worse than competing platforms. Even if the targeting leaves a lot be desired, if it is even a little better than everyone else, you'll still land contracts and make money.
Using a second monitor for live streaming is more useful for things useful to the streamer but which do not need to be shown on screen to readers (e.g. frantic Stack Overflow research when the code breaks, or analytics as the article mentions).
I can't seem to grasp HoTT.

Are there any approachable resources on the subject?
Well it's not just that -- algorithms do matter, and a very small number of programmers do move the needle in this industry through their ability to shine in that area.

But the vast majority of the time -- that's not what your company needs at all. You need someone who's smart and reliable, and more to the point, believes in your mission. And who will go in and do all that far from algorithmic, highly unglamorous stuff that keeps your business from going underwater, day in, day out.

But of course - those skills are difficult to evaluate in a short amount of time. So instead companies go for a skill that can be "measured".

A skill like -- you guessed it -- algorithms.
I've pirated Reason on occasion. Not lately, though.
You didn't mention the effect of the poor who are now richer getting more power. You didn't mention that people can gain power by being virtuous and admirable, in fact damaging your own interests on purpose is a direct sign of power. Signalling is not a new concept.

The overall effect is more uncertain than you suggest, but presumably it's clear that the 'giving' that is highly desired and publicly demanded by certain people can be implemented by them today.

Further, I'd postulate that the desire to only give if everyone gives is a rather convenient mechanism to simultaneously not give and appear virtuous.
Do you have data showing that the schools are worse than similar schools elsewhere with the same demographics? The districts you list have been full of rich white people since forever.
Bacula manages our network backups to an Overland Storage tape library. While involved to setup, I found it worthwhile given the capabilities it offers and reliability. Bacula can also backup to file system volumes if you don't have tape libraries but would still like the other features (eg encryption, network-wide backup, file catalogues, retention and recycling rules etc).

Ask HN: How to open source the code but not the branding?
I have a website that I am building for a "personal side project that may someday make money". I have the code for the website on Github, because right now there isn't that anything groundbreaking or new about the website code.

I want to license it to be as permissible as possible (I usually do MIT), but I do not want to somehow give away the "branding" of the name. I own the domain name.

How do I license the site code as "free to use and change for your own use as long as you don't attempt to impersonate the original owner"?
All job interviews rely on proxies for whether someone will be good on the job or not, because the only way to know is to actually hire them.

All proxies are inaccurate.
But if you actually try to advocate that people attend to
their health first and foremost by eating right,
exercising and making good lifestyle choices, you are some
crazy weirdo?

I don't think that's what the article was sneering at.

It was sneering at the idea of fearmongering about what people eat, but then trying to sell them on a whole bunch of unregulated supplements and quack remedies.

There is an awful lot of "something free on the internet" that is just complete bullshit designed to sell you something.
I've had my timbuk2 messenger for about 9 years now. The inside looks like it got mauled. Lots of tears. But it still holds up rather well. The strap and everything else is very comfortable.

I use it to get groceries once a week. It's come on every vacation I've gone on. I've moved with it. It is not a simple work backpack. It goes with me everywhere. Really great investment.

I have no content, thus no SEO, which has dramatically limited traffic.

Paid search is extremely effective to get people on my site, but AdSense doesn't cover the costs.
I don't remember the Python team ever advocating a move to 3.0, or 3.1, or 3.2 for that matter. IIRC those versions were out there so we could start looking at how things will change.

It's Python 3.3 where migration started being a serious matter of discussion, and 3.4 added more 2.7 syntax backports to help the transition. And the community did follow on that. 3.3 and 3.4 are where many 2.x libraries added Python 3 compatibility.

Calling the Python core devs incompetent for something where instances of prior art can be counted on the digits of one hand that may have lost a few fingers is a bit rich.
http://www.sifrgenerator.com was made to generate SIFR fonts, way before webfonts were commonly used.

I spent a lot of time generating Swf files using PHP and learned a lot. The site got a lot of traffic but apparently it didn't target an audience that clicked any ads at all.

It made less than $150 in Adsense in about seven years.
I did sell a backlink for $250 and I ended up with around 150,000 font files that were uploaded over all those years... ;) Still need to build a find-and-download-a-font site and attach it to the upload database...
Then live coding might be a way to improve that skill and get over your fear! Nothing feels quite like facing a fear head on.
Thanks! I'm also working on a web app version of it.
Replying to a comment that says to leave the past to the past by pointing out a time in the past someone did a thing.

Maybe Zed burns himself over Python3. Maybe not. It doesn't really matter because he's gonna keep doing what he does, both good and bad. He's as human as the rest of us.
Patreon is more about supporting individual projects. I'm thinking more like netflix/spotify + youtube + ebay. As an end user, you still pay some monthly fees. The total money is divided up between all the producers using some metric minus operating costs. As a producer, your job is pretty much clicking on upload.
But even assuming cooperation how does a decentralized system settle on agreement about the next block with so many miners potentially in contention? What is the average time interval between block discovery?

LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR ME: Ok, this chart shows that the average time is around 8 minutes. I guess that makes sense as being enough time for the info to quickly spread amongst all nodes that a block was mined.

I didn't realise! That's good.
Amazon should look into on-demand scalable housing solutions that you can pay for on a usage basis.
Anyone with that wealth would probably send them to private school so I doubt they are concerned about the public school system.
Although, I do think that competitive programmers can become great programmers more often than not.

They practice writing correct for-loops, branches, recursive functions, efficient graph searches, input-output, data structure uses etc. in a very fast pace. To be able to do that requires you to chunk a significant amount of information.

I found that doing stuff very fast correctly makes you learn and internalize concepts quickly and more deeply.

This is all unfortunately anecdotal, I'm not sure how to google for such research (not just in cp but in "learning to do stuff fast improves learning rate").

Yet every instrument I've played and tried to learn, the moment I tried to play stuff fast but correctly (be it drums or piano), I had to improve my technique, had to internalize the rhythm patterns (more complex rhythms are insanely difficult to do fast), memory etc. With it came a significant amount of progress.

Same thing happened to me with language. I was speaking English for 20 years but still had trouble with fluent pronunciation (despite my writing feeling natural), I knew what I had to say but somehow my tongue got all tangled. Yet, when I tried learning some rap songs that use insanely fast diction, my speaking improved up to a point where it felt normal.
Second that, I've had the timbuk2 commute 2.0 messenger bag since 2010 and it goes everywhere with me. Daily to/from work, every business/personal trip, etc. Mine's still in excellent condition other than one broken zipper on one of the inner pockets.

Not sure if it fulfills everything and I like your model better.
1) how well they work with others?

Whiteboard sessions don't tell you that either. Only whether they got lucky, and you picked a problem they already know (so they can breeze through the solution in front of strangers with confidence). Or if they can at least suck it up, and pretend they enjoy this nonsense for 45 minutes (or 4-6 hours, depending how crazy your company is about this stuff) to get a job.

2) how long it took them to come up with the solution?

Does it matter? Really now. What matters on the job is did you go the last mile, think about the corner cases and pitfalls, and make sure your solution was cleanly coded and documented for the next guy or gal. Not whether you solved that silly HackerRank problem in 35 minutes as opposed to 45.

3) if they actually came up with the solution themselves

This one's pretty simple to sniff out, actually: "So I'd just be curious, why you did X here and not Y?" There's pretty much no way a bullshitter can answer that question.

The problem with much of the single family housing is that it's fully packed in already as defined by the zoning laws. If they could build up, they would do it in a heartbeat.
Which is exactly why it's ok and not unfair to compare the performance improvements over time of Python 3.6 versus Python 2.7?
> I realized that I’m now sending beginners into a community that actively ostracizes and punishes anyone who dissents against the decisions of the PSF members. I simply can’t support the PSF anymore given these actions, and I can’t send them new people if this is how they treat anyone disagreeing with them.

> At that point the decision became much clearer. If I charge for my Python books I can help even more people and also give people real jobs working for me.

He doesn't want to "send" any more people into the community, so he now charges for his books.

What exactly is the connection there? How does charging for the books change anything? Does he assume charging for them sends less people to the community than before? If that's his goal, why doesn't he stop publishing his books completely?
Thanks for your insight but my anxiety and ego both make it difficult to look for help. And thus the easier option is for me right now to try the advises of the other users first and only afterwards (if still failing) go meet a physician. But you're probably right and I'm just stubborn and stupid
