This is incredibly basic computer knowledge. Has Windows actually fallen so far out of the loop that there are developers who know Rust or Go, but don't know something this fundamental?
> the response will be fuel for ridicule if it (predictably) refuses in the grounds of being too hard

If ridicule worked, this madness would have already stopped at the point where the Australian PM implied the laws of mathematics are secondary to the laws of Australia.
Think about it from a less absolutist logical angle, and you may eventually appreciate it. Currently, you are looking for counterexamples for the sake of argument, instead of considering the cases where the principle is useful. You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
How: People have up-voted the story.

Why: People found it interesting.
> That argument is not exactly valid, because the concept of a block chain has been described a long time before it was used in "virtual currencies."

The idea of a "block chain" had a name back then and it still has a name now. No software developer would confuse a hash list with the underpinnings of a virtual currency unless:

A) You're writing a title for an article and want more clicks

B) You're a banking institution that wants to seem "hip"

C) You're working on a centralized database but really need funding so you throw in the word "blockchain"

D) You're a reporter and you have no clue what you're talking about

Show me anyone referring to a "block chain" in a non virtual currency context that doesn't fall into the above categories and I'll reconsider.
As I understand it, there's breaking a sweat and being uncomfortable, and then there's pain. If you feel pain it's time to stop for the day or at least take a good rest.

Ask HN: What questions did you ask (or wish you asked) your cofounder?
Hi! I finally met someone I really like and think she can really do something important for the mission. She seems to engage with idea just as much as I do and can definitely both embody it and bring specialized knowledge to the execution. I am already working with her to execute something I can't technically do. (Not Code BTW)

Nonetheless—I want to very thorough and make sure we get to know each other much more.

What questions should we be asking each other?
What topics should we be broaching?
How do we get to deeply know each other in as short of a time as possible?

The best way to learn this is by hearing about what y'all did or wish you did.

I have some ideas. First of all:

* Would you like to be a cofounder or just a service provider?

If yes, then I would ask Jason Lemkin's two questions:

* Are you willing to do this for the next 7–10 years?
* And are you willing to go for 24 months until we have any real traction at all?

Then I think Mark Zuckerberg spending MONTHS vetting Sheryl Sandberg. He particularly wanted someone who wasn't afraid of people better than them. Possible question

* Who is better than you? Would you recruit them?

More ideas:

* What is your learning style?
* Are you doing it for the likes, the mission, or the money? How do you rank these?
* How would you manage a team? What would your weekly meeting structure look like?

Would love to get even more ideas from y'all! Thanks!
Apple takes your money up front so they don't need to violate user privacy for business reasons.
I like the worker council idea. Though perhaps a more elegant solution would be to eliminate all corporate tax deductions and set the rate to a flat 20% while taxing co-ops at 5%. Over time, this would Incentivize the formation of co-ops over corporations and reduce the negative effects of having an economy controlled by large corporations.
Sending to the trash still takes an eternity.
The top-GP didn't say "adventurous", they said chasing "adrenaline fix". You can be adventurous without exposing yourself to fatal danger (and you can be an adrenaline fix chaser and be a really, really dull person to be around).

Not this guy's:

I find that a lot of developers will use the briefer implicit return form (`transform => backup.sync(transform)`) of a function without focusing on whether the returned value has significance.

I wanted to write out the explicit `return` form of the handler to emphasize that returning a promise in an Orbit event handler has significance. It delays resolution of the event, thereby allowing listeners to participate in that resolution.

Perhaps it was unnecessary for me to _also_ include the implicit return form in that example. However, that's the way I would normally write this function, and I'd like to present "best practices" and show how concise the code is typically.
It would be useful to collect data from non-native speakers of a language. More and more such individuals are appearing in all countries, and devices that accept spoken words should not break because of someone's level of command of a spoken language. For example, a Swiss speaking German (Hochdeutsch), or more clearly, a Brit speaking French, etc. Some children who grow up in multi-lingual families also intermix words from multiple languages into their sentences. We can still understand them.
Functionally it's the same outcome, however these are managed solutions that the cloud provider (usually along with a networking partner) setup and maintain. This leads to much better reliability and speed and it's also not running over the public internet like a typical VPN so it's better for handling sensitive data access.
I think the answer is that it's 'working out' not training and they're going for a low weight high rep workout.

When using lighter weights (relative to your bodyweight) you're less likely to seriously injure yourself due to bad form.
iOS is better for privacy (Apple is more inept at cloud stuff than Google) but much, much worse for freedom. I don't want a device that I'll have to get Apple's permission to install stuff on.
It was a moat for Apple's iPod.

I don't know why you're particularly invested in denying it. I don't think Apple treated it as a strategic priority, but it was definitely a thing at the time; if you went down the iTunes route, you pretty much had to use an Apple portable media player. The alternative was MP3s and the freedom to choose any player you like, including iPod.
The Mill CPU Architecture: Switches [video]
The dynamically linked runtime and the JIT are indeed important differences (although not all JVMs share HotSpot's design; some JVMs compile Java AOT and statically link the runtime) -- but they are not
linguistic differences, and so nothing that the commenter I responded to could see in the code.

In any event, even regardless of how big you think the linguistic differences are, Java and Go are far too similar to like one and so strongly despise the other (although you could certainly prefer one over the other). We're not talking Go vs. Haskell, or Python vs. C here.
Well... I don't think the last Administration had any sort of reasonable direction. There is a reason that they lost not just the Majority of the houses... but both sides of Congress AND the White House.

I hope DARE doesn't return - as you said, the War on Drugs is about as successful as Prohibition... aka: not remotely.

There are many things I like and dislike about the current administration... I don't think I'd like a doubling down on a failed War on Drugs.
Yes but it frees the path to be used for new/replacement files "immediately".

Look, if you're going to make employees' lives shittier, just come out and say it. I'm tired of this thing where something is made materially worse but we have to have a big meeting about how, actually, it's better this way. Just be honest and say tough shit, this is how it is now.

My company has shuttered the office in the city I live in, and reduced vacation time from unlimited to limited. Both changes were billed as being better for us as employees. Which is just so insulting. They hire you for your brains and then talk to you like a child.

Pushing through the pain barrier is wrong, point of training is to find that subtle balance where you push enough to advance but not too much to avoid injury.
I'm curious why tethering off a cell phone isn't a solution.
Just curious but where are you based? From previous hacker news comments it sounds like toptal pays poorly for the U.S., ok for Western Europe, and really well for the rest of the world.
I agree the issue is complex, and I wish there was more balanced discussion throughout. You can not simply ignore the control large corporations have throughout society just because it is not the "monopoly of violence" that a civil government has.

We need to think about these problems in context of time, and the decisions made over time. A stork does not drop a baby off at your door, and a company does not accumulate/generate wealth overnight (although, companies are turning over more rapidly recently). We need to make sure the correct incentives/systems are in place to ensure healthy, decentralized, competition.

The first version of Glass was utter crap and felt like a waste of money (I'm surprised they didn't get sued by purchasers). I won't trust them again as a developer. Frankly, they should allow devs to exchange their hw for the new one for free or a significant discount. If they did that, I'd look at their platform. Else, I'm out.

Indeed, ctrl+f "rhabdo", "ah, yep", ctrl+w.
Proper form is mainly to prevent injury and to move the most weight the most efficiently but you can still get "gainz" by letting it slip slightly. A good example is elite level power lifters on a deadlift, they round their spines pretty awfully when they approach their 1 rep max but they are trading a potentially slipped disc for CNS improvement and moving a greater load. The trick is knowing when and how to let form breakdown just enough that it doesn't destroy you.

Also there is merit in restricted range of motion training (such as stopping short of chest and lock out on bench press) to increase time under tension and "pump" - not considered proper form but if you want to target a certain muscle/group and really get it burning then it works very well.

How Artsy finally convinced galleries to sell fine art online
This is constantly on my mind.

I code probably for around 8 hours a day, and spend another two staring at spreadsheets before I head home to my young family. This is repeated six days a week. As such I take a stack of Modafinil, Sprint by Nootrobox (https://hvmn.com/sprint), Vitamin B, and one general all rounder vitamin pill to maximize my productivity.

Looking back at a) the not so legal drugs, and b) the large amounts of alcohol I used to consume, I wonder if my brain functions would be much higher at this point. I think reading that article, depressingly the answer is yes.

With my younger days partying at places like Mahiki (https://www.londonnightguide.com/mahiki-guestlist/) then I would consider it a miracle that my brain is even able to function on the level that it does - with or without my Modafinil stack.

In a parallel universe somewhere I'm working at Goldman Sachs and a non-drink or drug taking sensible person from birth.

But meh, that would probably bore me to tears.
Does anyone know how PowerShell compares to cmd.exe for this particular problem? In PowerShell, one would type:

That's incredibly unnecessary. My understanding of statistics is not derived from comics (and the first time I heard that example was in a statistics course), and the link you post doesn't actually address what I stated. It addresses an actual mistake in the comic, which is a mistake that I didn't make.

Here's Andrew, the author of that blog post:

> Yes, I think it makes a lot of sense to criticize particular frequentist or Bayesian methods rather than to criticize freq or Bayes statisticians.

Which is exactly what I did. There are times when frequentist methods are effective. I just wouldn't use them to tell me that I have a disease.

I use borg (attic fork) backing up to rsync.net for my home server. All my machines back up locally to that machine (mostly using SyncThing), then it backs itself up every hour or so. It's not perfect but it does work really rather well.

Borg is really nice, and rsync.net is of that variety of service that are always my favourites: it does one thing very well.

Also they offer a discount if you use borg or attic (possibly others) as they turn off their ZFS snapshot system and assume your software handles that.

The emerging criteria of future scientific publishing
Peter Watts.

http://www.rifters.com/crawl/

Specifically, Blindsight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel)

> Blindsight is a hard science fiction novel by Canadian writer Peter Watts, published by Tor Books in 2006. It garnered nominations for a Hugo Award for Best Novel, a John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, and a Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. The novel follows a crew of astronauts sent out as the third wave, following two series of probes, to investigate a trans-Neptunian Kuiper belt comet dubbed 'Burns-Caulfield' that has been found to be transmitting an unidentified radio signal to an as-yet unknown destination elsewhere in the solar system, followed by their subsequent first contact. The novel explores questions of identity, consciousness, free will, artificial intelligence, neurology, game theory as well as evolution and biology. Blindsight is available online under a Creative Commons license. Its sequel Echopraxia came out in 2014.

Hi there! I'm Nate, Founder and CTO of Lever.

Appreciate your feedback! As you've discovered, many B2B companies that primarily sell via inside or field sales do not post their pricing directly. Reserving the conversation around pricing until after you are in contact with a sales person is often helpful, because these products do have very different capabilities. We provide a consultative sales approach, listening carefully to what a prospect is looking to achieve with their talent acquisition strategy.

Lever's products are different. We believe that in order predictably master your hiring goals, you must go beyond applicants and get in front of the best candidates for your company. You must go outbound with referrals, sourcing, and more—speaking to the people that are the very best fit for your team's needs. Applicants are a vital piece of the puzzle, and Lever absolutely provides all of the features that applicant focused products provide. However, those features are seamlessly integrated into Lever Hire, which is a full CRM for job candidates + an applicant tracking system.

We recently posted a piece describing how the Shopify team has used Lever to grow from a a few hundred to over 1900 employees. Sourcing was a key part of their strategy. https://www.lever.co/blog/how-shopify-revolutionized-proacti...

Used Workable, Greenhouse and Lever extensively over the past few years and my recommendation would definitely depend on the size of your company. If you're fewer than 200 people, then I categorically recommend Workable. Anything larger and Greenhouse tends to edge it for me. Lever is pretty awful regardless to be honest.

I got rhabdo in my arms a few years ago. It was not an intense workout. I had taken a few months off from the gym and was in my first week back. My workout was much lighter and shorter than normal. Doctors suspected it was caused by a combination of returning to the gym and under hydration.

Does anyone know if there has been research into rhabdo frequency? I suspect it became more common as the population became more sedentary.

Before building a platform, it might be possible to gauge interest by publishing some challenges on a blog. To me, a platform is only likely to work if people enjoy solving the challenges and getting the challenges right, i.e. making them fun to solve is the hard part. The platform matters less...for example, Project Euler. https://projecteuler.net/
I think the problem is that it's marketed as a purchase too much. Consider the difference between:

"I want to do a crazy thing, and it might not even work. However, if you give me money, I have a chance, and I'll give you one of the things if it does end up working."

vs:

"We're making a crazy thing! Give us money now and we'll send it to you in a month."
Sub reddit discovery isn't a solved problem but the subs you're looking for probably exist.
But this is where equity incentives serve to align these interests. If you develop a real killer app on your spare time, but integrated into your company's product would significantly increase the valuation, retention, reduce churn, etc - then with equity (whatever the structure may be) you have an incentive to bring that work to the table. If it's pure cash, then your benefit is the same regardless of if you keep this work (done on your own time, on your own equipment, and off-site) or share it.

> It also required that I figure out how to “daemonize” the script[.] I found this aspect surprisingly difficult; it seems like a really basic need, but the documentation for how to do this was not especially easy to find.

Agreed on the relative dearth of well-gisted tutorial content re: routine sysadmin tasks.

Outlets that pump out tons of marginally-differentiable content on <today's unnecessary stack element that'll have you terraforming the noosphere 333% more, free> tend to prevail by sheer numbers.

That being said, systemd is its own problem in need of abstracting away from. Supervisor⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ might be the layer you're looking for.
