“Our little guy goes to bed at 9 p.m., which is not so cool, but he loves the backyard and neighborhood, so it’s completely worth it.”

I somehow feel that having a backyard does not justify leaving before your child wakes up and returning after he goes to bed.
I knew a Londoner with an almost identical commute, seems quite common over there. At the time my commute was 60 minutes one-way, and even though it was pretty easy (a single train leg, always seats available), it was still enough to make me vow never to do it again. Those 2 hours a day could have been used exercising, cooking with my wife, playing with my dog. I guess it's all about life priorities, but I'm skeptical any time someone suggests it as a healthy lifestyle.
Identifying what's worth writing about is not a skill you have naturally, it's something you develop from practice. I know it sounds trite, but just start writing, and do it consistently, and you'll build the skill.

I've been blogging almost weekly for over a year. My first 5-10 articles garnered almost no interest; even now they have only a handful of reads on Medium. I was writing about jQuery tips for god's sake. But I eventually learned from my mistakes and now I have maybe 10 articles with more than 100 recommends on Medium, and I've had two articles make the front page of HN.

It's a cool idea! It could be a community-styled web experience, with the best user-style automatically applied and a button to easily return to plain mode. The "value" of an user-style could be treated as a multi-armed bandit problem, minimizing the number of return to plain mode.
Do people really measure their commute time using a method of transportation they don't use?
I did this exact commute (Phillipsburg, NJ) to Port Authority for a few months when I first graduated college and was living with my to-be-in-laws.

It was grueling and miserable. I would wake up at 5:30, stand outside in the cold at 6:45, arrive at PABT at 9 to be in at work by 9:30 - 10. Leave at 6:30 to be home by... 10:30 , eat cold dinner in bed then go to sleep to start all over.

I broke down one day and couldn't do it anymore so I got an apartment in the city (It was harder than it sounds. Searching for a non-craphole place in a good area then throwing down like $6k just to get in. Yikes.)

I don't understand people who do this as a lifestyle. It is miserable and you spend an inordinate amount of your life on a bus: Get a new job.

Live from Winterfell: 5 Key Learnings from the Game of Thrones Premiere
I know someone who was doing New Forest to London every day and back. Basically about 6-7 hours of commuting daily.
But then the great teaching would have to be informed by coding's great problems. Your average consultant doesn't encounter "the great coding problems" on a daily or even yearly basis. This is why it might be better for teachers to devote themselves to seeking and researching these challenges and problems as a part of their teaching like all great teachers of any lifelong pursuit have done. If these bootcamp teachers did that, the level of teaching would rise very high. It might finally be worth its price tag, even if students didn't get jobs. I guess that is why the pro-level musicians pay so much for a summer spent with master teachers with no promise of work at the end-- it is because those teachers actually teach them something of great value at the craft that pays for itself and helps the student become an artist at what they do. And for the most part, unfortunately, software engineers are not treated by their companies as artists of value either, like these classical musicians were, at least for many years before that began to decline sharply. There is so much precedent about where this bootcamp model and this "dearth of technical talent" will lead- and these places are not good. They lead to the worker getting paid very little and there being very few low-paying jobs in the end. But this is tech, so it will happen at speed and scale like never before. I've already watched tech do everything in classical music from 1950-1990 in about five years (including the sexism and its accompanying legal battles and outcries). Well, everything except great teaching at the "camp" level.
Thats why password managers that do support audit logs (normally) do not provide this kind of mechanism of manually decrypting the file. The only way of accessing passwords would be through whatever interface they came up with.
Elon Musk is making noises about a DC-NYC "hyperloop" with stops in Philly and here in Baltimore. Best of luck to him, I suppose - maybe in fifty years or so the Sprawl will be an actual thing.
Yep. Or saves the plaintext of the password elsewhere after using it once for a "legit" use.

Rule zero of security is that you can't ask people to forget things. If they had knowledge of a shared secret and they're not supposed to going forward, then that shared secret needs to be changed.

I apologize for not being one of the experts you speak of, but I do know of others that say there are superior number bases to use for everyday counting.

http://www.dozenal.org/drupal/content/brief-introduction-doz...

These people believe that base 12 would be superior to base 10. And they do make good points, expressing fractions like those in 3rds become easier. Is it superior in the grand scheme? I'll leave that debate to actual experts. Will people see the utility and switch? I'm going to keep my base 10 skills up, you know, just in case duodecimal doesn't catch on. ;-)

I think the point in discussions like these is, what is the alternative? Ie, add value to the discussion, not argue over semantics. Arguing that everything (or this thing) sucks is.. non constructive. What do you see as better alternatives?

I agree completely, the clipboard is non-trusted. Yet the fact remains, how can we transmit an arbitrary string from a secure app like a password store, to another app in need of authorization? Lets build constructive conversations.
Reminds me of Czech game "Soudruhu, nezlob se!" (literally "Don't get angry, comrade", see http://www.deskove-hry.eu/soudruhu-nezlob-se), which is a version of more popular children game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensch_%C3%A4rgere_dich_nicht

It was designed partly as a joke, but partly to demonstrate ridiculousness of communism. The goal of the game was to become a secretary general of the communist party and emigrate abroad.
Speaking as a parent, I absolutely agree.
What is the point ? If it is just academic curiosity that is fine. But if it compiles one to one to C++, then it is just a different and more Python-like syntax for C++ ?
Wow, that's the best definition I have heard for Smart Contract (and maybe for Block Chain).

I never thought a legal definition would be clearer than every "common" definition I have read. It's like the author of every blog post I've seen titled "What is Ethereum?" has no idea what title they used.

I guess that just shows how hype makes it hard to get to the truth.
I would point out it is d because latin typesetters back then often didn't have a greek typeface to print with and it is the closest to the greek letter delta δ. Once one understands it's δx and δy (or Δx and Δy) and today still today most people don't know how to get delta characters on their latin keyboards, then it is easy just to not use d in algebra and use for differential calculus only. Finally (Δx)^2 and Δ(x^2) are the same thing in differential calculus.
With KeePassXC you would do this by adding new entries for each alias and then reference the username and password values of the "base" entry. I believe the feature still isn't in a release, and the UX isn't there at the moment.

The problem is that they can't deviate from the official KeePass database format, so adding something like aliases requires hacks like the above.
How Mobile Apps and Mobile Website Can Benefit Your Business

For me, C++ as its implementation language is one of the most promising things, as I suspect it's a significant reason why it's so much faster to check things than Idris. The speed difference is significant enough that I prefer it over Idris in spite of Idris' broader feature set: <1 second vs 10 seconds makes a huge difference to workflow when proving small lemmas (although it's possible I've somehow set up Idris wrong).
Ok, sounds like a good reason. But how is that situation now? Did the Keras team remove that limitation in the meantime?
It's been tried in various flavors of that. The one I liked the best was OpenID. You designate who you trust to actually log you in, which could even be localhost if you set your redirects right, then provide a URL as your "login." There was a somewhat standardized set of data that could go back and forth, and if a specific site needed more, it could ask for it on it's own.

The problem, I think, is that every site wants to own the web, and doesn't want to give up anything, let alone login. Facebook and Twitter and Google all want to be the auth providers to the net, but then you have to trust them in a much more elevated way than you should, and their motives are more around building a profile of you and where you go on the net than being a secure auth provider. If Facebook started supporting U2F (they may, I don't know), Yubikey sales would explode tomorrow and the web may be a safer place, who knows.
I hope it does. It's to add them slowly though. Especially since most editors have built in settings for spacing but not for linting. I wish for stuff like allowed_var_name_regex that would mean nothing to most editors unless you install a plugin.
These commutes can look OK on paper, but there are so many points of failure. All it takes is 15 minutes oversleep, a missed your connection, a delayed train, failure to get a seat and you can have an entire morning or evening taken out and a boatload of stress with it.
Americans I've met have certainly done this.

Americans tend to measure distance in "time" which doesn't work when you're dealing with alternative transport methods.

For instance someone told me the Philadelphia is "just 3 hours away, so it can't be that far" when I asked him how long it took by train. (it took 5hours in the end)

An important facet to mathematics in general ... is that the majority of proofs ... are purely notation.

To the extent that this is true, how much do you think that is due to the notation itself, and how much is due to someone identifying the essential underlying concepts and then making those the basis for a good notation?
This is actually what happened in parts of Westchester and Connecticut. All the executive staff were commuting from their suburban homes to their various headquarters in NYC, then they realized they could just move their office instead.
Yeah, NYC is a lot denser that London, so commutes of, say, 1 hour more are totally normal in London, but somewhat uncommon in NYC. For me, this makes NY a lot more appealing.

I'm not judging this guy, but I can't understand the mental math here. So much of parenting is just being there as life happens. Noticing when things are off. Giving impromptu love, advice, and correction.

How do we make sure we're not just suffering from confirmation bias when we say these choices are a net win?
Thats the whole point of audit logs. You lookup the passwords he accessed and only rotate those (vs rotating all of team's shared secrets because you dont know which ones he used/saved/etc).
This doesn't seem too fair to their spouses, who essentially are responsible for all weekday chores. Perhaps the commuters can do stuff like personal finances on the train... but that's basically it.
Maybe it's the opposite. Maybe he knows the value of his family getting to live in the countryside with space and fresh air and is willing to pay the personal price himself to allow that.

I didn't find maths particularly different difficulty wise, when thinking about it in Georgian or not. What did trip me up, was the times! Up to x:29 it's 29 minutes past x, but at x:30 it is 30 minutes to ++x. Weird.

Played this game a couple of weeks ago with my family (my wife, an 11 year-old, and a 14 year-old.)

We quickly remembered why we hadn't played it in a year: you must be greedy to win, hopes & dreams get dashed, and someone always ends up angry and/or in tears.
I just stopped gaming on the PC, so no more need for windows :)

They're consistently on a cycle of booming and busting - Bitcoin's value has been slowly creeping up and up through these cycles. Others... not so sure. Bitcoin is a huge driver for the hype cycle in cryotocurrencies in general.

If you want to watch anything, watch what happens with Bitcoin between now and August 1st. It's a make or break time for whether that trend of slowly increasing value keeps going or blows up horribly.

Not that my opinion is worth a whole lot, but this is the password manager I would choose to use if I wasn't using 1Password. Where many other password managers use convoluted constructions with (e.g.) AES and PBKDF2, this is very straightforward GPG.

Also from NZ and living in London. Not that I'll ever go back, but I'd definitely be willing to do a much longer commute in NZ than I ever thought was acceptable when I lived there!

I'm on the outskirts of London now where if I take public transport the whole way it takes me 1.5hrs each way (or more, because it's Southern trains -
grrrr). Normally I cycle 20 minutes to Epsom where the train journey is much quicker.

There are tradeoffs to be made. I don't like having to spend a long time travelling but equally, it's much better for my kids to have space to run around outside. I do wish the trains were cheaper though.
That's a statement on the level of Turnbull's "laws of Australia". I doubt the FSF would break its own policy for a new project, especially since the principle is free software over user convenience. The maintainer might want to add proprietary dependencies to their project, but under FSF control, it wouldn't happen.
I was going to post this! I've been in cryptocurrency-land since 2012 and initially the posts on HN were very occasional... now we have 2 or 3 on front-page at any time.

IMO this means that we are reaching peak interest among techies. It happened with node, with angular, with react and now with crypto... it'd be fun to see some data graphs with info from algolia or the HN dataset from GCloud...

Regarding the post: I opposed the fork, but now I think it was the best way to go. When there are irreconcilable views/goals in a community, the best thing to do is to separate ways. It happened with linux distros, with dev frameworks, etc and cryptos are not different, it's just software.

I'm sure it has happened but at least with banks they have the option of following the chain of the money to wherever/whomever it ends. And with ever more stringent ID requirements to open an account that person should be identifiable. Generally banks will freeze funds if there's a claim of fraud from another bank.

Far from perfect (fake ID, assumes the issue is spotted promptly, etc.) but better in this case.
I made that same resolution just after ^^
Yes, but I'm suggesting designing explicit bug bounties. The point of a bug bounty is to offer a smaller sum of money than would be lost if the vulnerability were exploited maliciously.

Cryptocurrencies are serving as bug bounties for their crypto primitives, but that only benefits other users of those primitives.
I run into a problem with vagrant provision today so I decided to try nanobox. I went to their site and realized that to download and install nanobox I have to register an account. I can't see why this could be a technical requirement for local development. I don't have to register on docker and vagrant sites to use their software. It's a show stopper.

I'll be back at debugging my provisioning scripts.

Completely irrelevant to this post. A long time ago I was in an Android "workshop" in one of these Google conferences and I saw a tall guy with a cowboy hat and slippers walking around and talking to people. I though to myself, "what a funny guy". We chatted for a little while and I didn't know if he was a "Google evangelist" (those that can talk tech but can barely code) or if he was just serving coffee (he was super humble and relaxed). Then I learned that was Tim Bray, one of the "creators" of XML. I never underestimated anyone anymore (I was young and stupid, sorry).
It's too bad the hyperloop idea is focused on city->city transportation. It could be an incredible tool to combat the increasing cost of living in cities. Imagine living this far away but getting to work in 30 minutes. Housing prices would return to sanity in cities.

Exactly - as the low cost producer, they can drive prices down. Everyone pays the same "market" rate. And they can bid up supply costs.
You can tackle both. It's usually sane to do so, as short term and long term are complementary, plus people are motivated or gifted to act in one area or the other but not always both.
Also because when you have an 8GB phone, there are only so many 50-500mb apps you can install, given the space already taken up by personal files and compulsory Android apps.

I prefer web apps because when I go to a bar and want to order from my table, or want to see the schedule for a conference I'm attending, I don't want to go to the trouble of installing a new app for something I'm only going to use once. This used to be a lot worse when apps asked for a load of permissions upfront which it wouldn't be sensible to grant, but these apps still often take up around 100mb in storage, which can mean having to find something to uninstall if you have limited space.
That's true, but the GP posted a link to the source of the browser plugin, which is to assume that could be avoided in this case.
I don't know where the parent graduated from, but as mentioned above, I'm a DBC grad from 2014 and we were mostly taught Rails, which is entirely a backend framework. There was a decent amount of data structure work, a little bit of algorithm work, and very little ops. Students quickly and shallowly learned JS frameworks for their final projects. After 2.5 years employed, I've found that the relative lack of algo work didn't matter in the least - I'm a web dev, at least right now, and I'm not implementing algorithms. Ops/infrastructure/deployment is the area where I was most lacking, and where I've grown the most, but I don't really know where you would fit it into the curriculum, or even if it would be valuable, given how many different permutations of infrastructure you can encounter, even working in the exact same coding stack.
