Ask HN: Feeling lonely in solo career – university-like institutions?
It's been 7 years since I graduated university, and aside from a few years of work at a startup in SV, I've been working on app projects all on my own. I like the independence and the pursuit of my own destiny, but lately I've been feeling terribly lonely. More than anything, I've been missing the institutional feel of college. I miss having smart people all around me with different career tracks and interests. I miss spontaneous moments of collaboration and insight, guided from above by supremely gifted professors. I miss feeling like I'm in a place where everyone is working on themselves or for the betterment of society, all without the risk of getting "fired". And I especially miss feeling like I'm in the crucible for our collective futures. Aside from the obvious option of going back to grad school (which sounds extremely draining unless you're super into it), are there any collaborative, cross-disciplinary institutions like this in the "real" world?

Aviation has managed, through a great deal of hard work, to ingrain an overarching culture of safety first on all levels of the chain. Those involved on all levels are thoroughly trained, procedures are formulated and followed, and when something does go wrong a thorough, safety-focused investigation is conducted. Air safety investigations are quite different from the process we follow almost everywhere else, in that their one and only goal is improving safety, not assigning blame. That means you're not trying to find who fucked up (it is, almost invariably, the pilot), but rather to understand what went wrong, why, and what can be changed to make sure the same doesn't happen again; Punishing someone responsible isn't even on the radar for this. (And in some cases, the results and testimonies in an air safety investigation are actually precluded from being used for any kind of punitive action.) In aviation this attitude is to a large degree enabled and enforced by stringent government oversight.

This is a very effective system, but it requires real buy-in from everyone involved, for things that are very much counter-intuitive to us as people. It also has a great deal of overhead and extra cost that must be accepted globally, and cutting corners cannot be tolerated even for the occasional cases where you may be convinved something is reasonable and safe.
As long as you're not using Apache in pre-fork mode then the rest boils down to a few percent in terms of http server overhead. Unless you're trying to serve tons of little static object with either no resource or big scale then there are better places to spend your time optimizing.
The government will probably release information about areas and depths were no one is allowed to dig. This can be vague enough to not disclose information about where tunnels actually are while still ensuring their safety.

As much as the introduction and the first two sections motivate the post, I think the last "Don't Just Feel Pleasure, Show It" section is the one that contains the main take-home message in my opinion. If one has benefited by using FOSS, one must acknowledge that it cannot get better and magically sustain itself without support from those who use it or appreciate the principles underlying the movement. The level of transparency and freedom of choice that FOSS offers to users, the DIY ethic and a sense of community it encourages is indeed something to be grateful for, and deserves a generous (subjective) contribution!

If one does not contribute directly by submitting bugs or developing FOSS itself, supporting organisations such as...

* The Free Software Foundation (http://fsf.org)

* Software in the Public Interest (http://www.spi-inc.org)

* Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://www.eff.org)

* Let's Encrypt (http://letsencrypt.org)

... I believe can go a long way. I'm sure there are more - when one feels grateful for the service the software has rendered them, one just needs to make the effort to find out who has written the software and whether there's a "Donate" button somewhere through which this can be expressed, however small the actual amount.

I wouldn't consider my claim any more unsubstantiated than other observations made by a developer, for instance you. I haven't read the book that you refer to, but it seems like Brooks's law (which according to Wikipedia is the central theme of the book) is talking about already late projects. For those, or any already ongoing project, I agree that adding more people will require ramp up time, but I am not talking about late projects alone. I think that for development in general, using something like pair programming instead of the lone, rock star developer, will lead to better code in the end (https://collaboration.csc.ncsu.edu/laurie/Papers/XPSardinia....).

Further, his second point about communication issues is to some extent proving my, and michaelchisari's point. Communication is a skill that is essential, but not stressed enough. If people were better at "communicate complex ideas in accessible ways", as michaelchisari originally put it, then I think it's likely that Brooks' wouldn't have the second argument to support his law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks%27s_law).

Essentially, I think it comes down to where we work, what we assume about a project, and how the issues in these projects are best tackled.

At my work, better communication would have lead to less work in the long run. This because team leads couldn't clearly state their requirements, the different parties thought they agreed, and work was made that wasn't originally intended by team leads.
Moreover, no one that holds a senior position is willing to acknowledge that these communication issues often are two way streets and that they are equally responsible for the miscommunications that happen. They also talk badly about others and have a serious case of hubris, which means that other peoples opinions are looked down upon or sometimes not even listened to. Basically lacking a lot of the skills that michaelchisari originally listed.

I hope that this clears out any "unsubstantiated" parts of my original rant for you.
> I do use Drive, Docs, and Photos (for now).

Docs is the most egregious item on this list. Just use libreoffice. And the syncing capability? Kill two birds with one stone, host your own cloud storage (raspberry pi hooked up to a 1tb hdd) sync your documents AND your photos to it.
Oh, I didnt get that, would have been nice.
> Numerical operations are opaque as you never quite know if it's a rational or a float.

Not so. When you put in floats, you get floats out. If you want always-rational numbers, put in FatRat and you get out FatRat -- with the predictable bad performance on algorithms that converge on irrational numbers.

Nothing stops you from using superior 3rd party modules in Perl 6. Heck, you can use Python modules through Inline::Python in Perl 6.

I haven't found it harder to debug than other parser libraries, but your mileage my vary. I'm a fan of Grammar::Tracer, which hasn't failed me yet.

> Everything seems to be writable in a multitude of ways with no clear indication if these ways are functionally different.

That is true, but I find it irksome that you mention it right next to Python, which also has a multitude of ways to do different things, even though the Zen of Python says there should be just one way. Think string formatting, for example. I believe it's a trait of every programming language that doesn't set out to babysit you.
As a metric, popularity can be misleading.

Take Hollywood, for example: few things nowadays are as ever-present as motion pictures, but the total box office revenue for 2016 was around $11bn [1]. That's about 19 days worth of revenue for Apple, going by their last quarter [2].

Just because you see it everywhere, or everyone talks about it, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a huge moneymaker.

Which API are you referring to? If you're referring to `aio_` that's just glibc's user-space thread-pool emulation of the POSIX's asynchronous IO + many operations needed for the truly async IO are not supported (such as `stat` and `open`). There's `io_` syscalls family, but that's not in the ready-to-use state yet, judging by the manpages and various patches being submitted every month.

5 things to know when setting up an online shop
America is indeed one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but that wealth is not spread evenly across the country. Most of the wealth is concentrated on the coasts, with incredibly skews towards NY/SF. See: http://labs.time.com/story/how-many-rich-people-live-near-yo... Many of us in tech, esp those in NY/SF tend to live in a bubble of wealth, or at least comfort -- that is not the case for all our fellow citizens.

Much of the country is not that rich at all, especially once you get to central parts of the country where industry has fled leaving people with odd jobs and insufficient healthcare. The opoid crisis centers around parts of America which are the hardest hit financially: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/23/health/heroin-opioid-drug-...

Finally, there is also something about expectations. For my generation, we grew up hearing "work hard, study hard, and you will live a good life, own a home, enjoy the life your father and grandfather lived." Except that formula does not work anymore -- industries which worked for our parents got offshored and we're now competing internationally. An entire generation still holds the expectations of an American lifestyle, buying a home with our 8-5 factory job, having barbecues in our backyard, playing "Where the Boys Are" but that expectation is no longer valid for all, leading to unmet psychological contract an entire generation expected to live.

This is a decent, if space inefficient, implementation of an optimistically concurrent algorithm. The general idea is that all threads have the same "goal", so if one thread notices partial work done by another thread (in this case, unupdated neighbors), then it does the work itself (checking to make sure its not already done before writing it) or moves on to work elsewhere instead. Many lock-free queues are based on this concept of work-finishing.

This is, however, storing 31 bits of generation-counter per bit of state to try to make the ABA linearization problem unlikely. Except it's using signed ints and doesn't account for overflow, so I think the behavior is going to get a bit less intended once the generation count hits 0x3FFFFFFF, rather than 0x7FFFFFFF; but I'm no expert on integer overflow in Java.

The claim that this is unsynchronized feels dubious, however! (Lock-free, sure! Unsynchronized? Not so fast!) This looks like it doesn't have synchronization primitives, but it _does_ - it has atomic reads and writes of ints [1]. (Thanks, Java!) So it never has to worry about reading partially updated data from a cell. If you were to try this in C, you'd potentially get piles of garbage as your thread is preempted partway through reading an int32 without a proper atomic intrinsic operation call.

> ... or they're too poor to be able to afford it when they can get it free.

For that situation, consider adding an FAQ or a page on your website encouraging people to email you and ask for a free or discounted copy if they really can't afford it.

Don't make it too easy - you'll get a few whose entire request is "give me free copy" and threaten you when you don't. Don't help people who threaten you or don't show you respect.

But if you get someone who gives a short story about their current situation and either asks for a discount ("I want to at least pay what I can afford") or suggests they'll pay you back (or Pay It Forward) when they're back on their feet - those are the people you want to help. Bonus points if they include how your software will help make their life better.

Do keep in mind that some of those people will have high support demands, so factor that into your software pricing. You'll need your paying customers to subsidize the support cost.

If you try this, you'll find that some people aren't genuine. They'll say price is the reason they pirate, but if you offer them a free copy, they'll complain you didn't offer the free copy in the exact way that they desire (and "want to know what you're gonna do about it"). Ignore those people, they will never be satisfied. Literally ignore - if you engage them you'll make yourself angry & sad and it will ruin your productivity.

Above all, focus on your actual customers. Focus on the 1% of people who love what you make and are happy to support you.
That is so far outside of their competence that I'm not sure how you constructed this absurd scenario. Why would Merkel be able to sign a contract on universities' behalf?

You're right, a "loud" voice doesn't sound the same as a quiet one. Even if you modify the volumes to be the same. There's also acoustic effects caused by having a microphone close to your mouth.

However, a good measure is: how far away from their mouths is the microphone? The answer is: when singers go into the "belter" part of a song, they put more distance between them and the mic, because otherwise they'd be too loud.

I'm no professional, but I've done some proper singing in my time and it's exhausting (to an extent unappreciated even by other musicians). I can probably count myself lucky I had a vocal coach who stressed _minimizing_ the amount of air you use for a note.
