For me it'd be max 7 days. And probably 99.999% spam.

What I said about video sites applies equally well to email. You don't even have to host your own; just choose a provider you trust. (If you disabuse yourself of the attitude that you shouldn't have to pay for email, there are more decent options than I could possibly hope to count.)

The "dependence" on Google for hosting videos and email accounts is entirely self-imposed. Honestly, if you want to fight Google's "monopoly", the only effective way is to point out the obvious fact that there are perfectly good alternatives.

You're totally traceable. Always assume third party records are public.

We're working on a guide for people to invest anonymously with us. It's not so simple. Monero is great, but their current defaults are too low to guarantee the privacy they say they have, and changing the defaults makes your transactions stick out.

What you have to do is:

1. Exchange into Monero.

2. Churn with Monero. This means you'll send your XMR from your wallet to your wallet, over and over again. Probably once every 3-6 hours, randomly. The destination address is private in Monero, so sending to your own wallet is fine.

3. After some time (1-3 days) send to another exchange to get Bitcoin/Ether/etc. Need to look at trade volumes to make sure you don't stick out. And probably not send out the same amount you put in. Keep half or some chunk and slowly leak it back to Bitcoin.

4. Optionally one could stack on a couple of Bitcoin mixers, on the idea that you won't have the bad luck to hit two compromised mixers. But each one will take ~2% so it adds up.

At that point you have coins reasonably unrelated to your earlier identity. Getting them into cash is a whole other guide.
Reasons Good People Turn into Monsters
You're right, you can build from source under the Apache license. Keeping the project truly open source is really important to us, because the community is such a great part of using Caddy.

Commercial licenses would only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year if your organization has at least 160 instances in use. Keep in mind that modifying the source is required to plug in any plugins, which people tend not to want to bother with.

We're also looking into adding more features for our customers.
I think they've said that the Vampire V4 will run standalone. Presumably the only non-crappy way to support HDMI was to implement Paula and Denise equivalents in the FPGA (a similar project exists for NES HDMI output, basically cloning the entire PPU and just snooping the bus of the original one for the raw timing and input data).
Governance. Github would be just free hosting + tracker.

The other thing is, emerging expectation that all open source projects should be stored in one place (Github) is not a good development. Puts too much power in hands of a single company.
Xcode 9 File Templates
Correct, I've got Vintageous installed, which is a more feature-complete implementation of VIM's keybindings and its "ex" mode.

It's still not exactly the same as using pure VIM, since some of the commands overlap with Sublime commands, and I tend to use a hybrid of both (for instance, Sublime's Ctrl-D command to make multiple cursors, which is incredibly useful when I'm editing HTML and have to wrap several lines in anchor tags).

Going into "pure VIM" is just to make sure I don't get too reliant on Sublime niceties, particularly as my day job requires spending a great deal of time SSH'd into random RHEL/CentOS boxes.
I honestly don't see any reason for Sublime Text to ever be more free than it is. The unlicensed version works as well as the paid version. The only real usability difference is that it asks you about a license every so often. If that reminder starts to annoy you it likely indicates that you are using ST often enough that you should pay for it.

I don't understand why so many developers are willing to pay thousands to upgrade their hardware frequently, but then aren't willing to pay $80 (or $30 to upgrade) once every what, 5 years?, for software that they use in the realm of 30+hrs per week. Sublime text has easily saved me enough time to earn that back.
This is a common misperception. Apple has frequently looked to Samsung for parts that are unavailable to Samsung uses for their own devices.

The screens have completely different resolutions and pixel densities. (The S8 has a higher density, but in a diamond pentile arrangement.)

Both screens support the DCI-P3 color gamut.

The S8 has a max brightness of 440 (manual) or 620 (auto).[0]
The X appears to have a peak brightness of 625 nits[1], although that's labeled as "typical," so hands-on testing should reveal more details.

For contrast ratio, Apple described the X as "1,000,000:1" while Samsung's is described as "infinite." Marketing aside, presumably hands-on testing will reveal true numbers in a head to head.

The original point remains: The S8 screen is lovely. The other original point seems accurate as well: The iPhone X screen appears to be something new, unique to Apple.

There is a lot of upvote/downvote see-saw going on for my comment, so I appreciate you taking the time to actually respond.

I think there is a strawman in claiming atheists answer that "there is not a why".

We've already discovered reasons for a lot of natural phenomena, but that is an ongoing process: the why of the why of the why... and that line of questioning often ends up at universal physical constants and mathematical axioms. The good news is that we've been able to dig deeper into constants that we thought were impenetrable in the past, and go one more level deeper. The bad news is that there are still things that we don't know, and we don't even know whether we'll ever be able to unravel them. That is unfortunately the pain and pleasure of the scientific process.

Anyone who is curious about things by definition accepts that there are things that they don't know, but holds out hope that they might be able to figure it out.

> "Why", therefore, is a metaphysical, philosophical, and theological question and outside the scope of reproducible and reasoned-through hypothesis testing and observation of material things like matter and energy.

This is precisely why I think religious doctrine is antithetical to the scientific process. The moment we accept that some questions are ultimately un-answerable and settle for un-verifiable religious theology, we have effectively put a stop to the scientific process. The theology doesn't even add any more meaning to the discussion, yet it orders us to stop looking.

What if we kept on being curious we could figure out the ultimate nature of reality?
Miniature minions like robots to assist you
Ironically, a lot of tech companies had this vision for the enterprise in the late 90s. Insert your id card and instantly see all your stuff. Interestingly, for the most part the market rejected the idea. I suspect this is an idea that sounds good on paper, but ends up being undesirable to the majority of folks.
I gotta say their new homepage looks like eye candy:

Interesting. What defines a Christian? One of the common aspects for our young people is to be able to logically discuss why they follow Jesus Christ. They can't rely on their parents or other people as to why they believe. They have to understand for themselves. They need to be able to ask questions and in turn study for themselves all the resources that will support their understanding. Then they have to apply and live by that understanding.

I have met many who have had great fervour but no knowledge and understanding and when push comes to shove, they let go. Whereas, there are others who by study and application become fervent and then you have a person that can answer the why of their lives and belief.

Seeking a congregation without seeking Him first is a act of futility, you would be better off finding a social club suitable to your interests. Seeking Him first and He will lead you to where He wants you to be. Keep in mind, though you may not believe in Him, He certainly believes in you and is more than willing to show Himself to you if you but willingly seek Him.
There are elements in the book that are worse than anything shown in the movie.

Of course, data scientists have their political opinions as well. As do journalists deciding which data to publicize.

The advice today is pretty much the same as it was 5 years ago: buy into a low cost fund. Since you're in the UK, through a Stocks & Shares ISA.

I recall the same complaints about low interest rates back in 2012, but the returns from, for example, the Vanguard LifeStrategy 80% Equity over the last 5 years were 16.07%, 9.16%, 8.00%, 10.84%, 17.04%. A bit better than a savings account. Of course, when there's another market crash the value will drop, but there you go.
Can anyone post the first edition of this series? Would be very helpful to catch up. Thanks!
This is incorrect, or at least only half-true.

Caddy is still Apache 2.0 licensed. You can use it for free for commercial purposes. You just can't use the build server at caddyserver.com to download a precompiled Caddy with plugins. Instead, you can download the source, compile it with plugins yourself, then distribute your own binary amongst all your hosts.
I'd prefer all sorts of things that I don't get. See this portion of my other comment:

Right-to-work is about ending free association, it's odd to paint unions as anti-free association. In an ordinary market environment a widget company could set up an exclusive supply deal with a plastic company where plastic is supplied at a set rate under certain agreements and we'd all be fine with that. But if we switch out "plastic" for "labor" and "plastic company" for "labor union" then suddenly we outlaw it. The idea that you think government should interfere in the contractual dealings of labor-supply in our market but not commodity-supply describes the hypocrisy.
Ask HN: Engineers turned into marketing people, how and why?
Not sure that anthropologists study "human nature" the way social sciences do (or should).

Anthropology is the study of human cultures and customs, which probably have as much to do with accidents, chance and contingency (history) as with universal human characteristics.
Given the value to cost ratio, Sublime Text is essentially free. It costs about as much as most developers make in an hour or two. (Though I suspect if it was a large company it'd be a monthly subscription with cloud syncing and blah blah blah)
Your account will almost certainly be frozen until you show up and convince the bank you're not a money launderer. Given the complexity of AML laws, you probably actually are at that point. And therefore the conversation with the bank might not go in your favor.
I use vim and atom, but most of my fellow developers don't want to use atom because it's heavy and slower than st, vim and emacs are out of question for them i think because things like the amount of work needed to prepare all the plugins to get the same functionality as the other tools.
It was ~80 dollars a week ago. At no point in the past week has it been near 90 dollars. It has hardly budged as a result of this news.
The article doesn't even mention the Carrington Event in 1859, which actually hit earth (with limited damage due to lack of widespread electronics). On the spectrum of existential threats, this one seems to be fairly underrated.

We at Communitivity see build ecosystems as being in one of four phases of evolution:

* Instructive - Actual low level commands are basically entered in the build file, with some flow control logic. An example is Make. Ant is another, though Ant straddles the line between Instructive and Imperative. In military terms, you dictate individual unit actions.

* Imperative - Build commands are entered into the build file, with each command having parameters used to control how it executes. Each build command represents two or more low level commands. There can be some declarative configuration, but the main part of the build is still a program of commands. Examples are Gradle and Rake. In military terms, you dictate individual unit tactics.

* Declarative - The build file is now no longer about entering low or high level commands, it is about declaring your intent, i.e. what you want the build to do. Examples are Lein and Maven. In military terms, this is providing units with Commander's Intent and letting the units do what they do best.

* Predictive - The build file is declarative, but the build ecosystem tracks developer activities and incorporates AI technologies to predict what the user's intent will be, and to inform the user so they are better able to determine their needs. In military terms this is strategy augmented with a Centaur System (a system with both a human and one or more AI components that work together as one entity).

Communitivity, Inc is building Chiron, an Open Source predictive build ecosystem that will be released in 2018. Follow @Communitivity on Twitter for more information in the coming months.
I'm not sure about the credentials of the 'New England Complex Systems Institute', though the authors have written other papers.

On the question of what pyriproxyfen does, I came across this, "Pyriproxyfen is a potent suppressor of embryogenesis and later development that competes for juvenile hormone receptor binding sites and disrupts the transition from one developmental stage to another [6]–[8]. The mode of action of pyriproxyfen is not fully understood due to the lack of a known signalling pathway and/or a receptor molecule. "
from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3275616/

So if this is still the case, people do not fully understand how pyriproxyfen does what it does, which is not that great.
I took a dive away from Sublime Text over to Atom a few years ago because I was starting up some contract work, didn't want to pay for a copy, and didn't want to continue doing the hokey thing of using a friend's license for work purposes. So I got use to Atom just fine, plus the UI is nice.

I mean, Atom is nice. The package management is all there and frequent updates are great, but...I don't write JS/HTML/CSS/PHP. I typically write Python, Go, Java, and heck even Prolog. Reading the changelog you can clearly see that they have a target audience, and I am not in it.

On the performance side (you knew it was coming!) I am mostly fine except for opening a project directory. I swear Atom has a coded in `sleep` whenever you try to open a file explorer. At first, I thought that this was a cute little quirk that would disappear after an update one day. But that update never came.

So I'll download Sublime again. Spend a morning to get it "just so" for, at the very least, Python and Go. I can easily see Sublime winning me back if I reinvest in it.
10 Steps to Scaling Your Startup Toward a Fortune 500
I know I may not have the most popular opinion here, but I support Google in it's apparent decision to disassociate itself from terrorist propaganda videos.

Regardless of embedded blog-post context or newsworthiness, Google isn't an official government sanctioned free-speech haven. It's an advertising company.

I'm already disturbed by the weird parts of youtube, and how easily they are to get to accidentally. It makes precious little sense to me that I allow my kids to use youtube to watch gamers and tutorials of all sorts when I know what they are a few clicks from material that will completely rob them of whatever innocence remains.

If they are finally choosing to clean things up - even in an inconsequential way - I'm all for it.

The argument exists that there is already a cesspool of disturbing material, and that this particular account is well-intentioned. I would argue back that if you want to push boundaries, be prepared to face the consequences.

It's well known that account and video review processes are black holes. If you are putting yourself in a situation where you might lose your account, you should be prepared to lose it.
Ask HN: How to Transition from Marketing to Product Management?
Context: I'm a former mechE (engine component design / test / mfg) who went to b-school and got into marketing (ad-tech and later developer marketing) who wants to switch to Product Management (because I want to make a bigger impact on the actual product - instead of just talking about it). I can code (Alexa skills / Python / JavaScript). I can write well (about software and other things!). I get shit done.

But here in NYC's tech scene, I'm an ugly duckling. Employers assume I'm too expensive ("oh, he'll want a McKinsey salary"), too inexperienced (no formal product experience), or _too_ experienced (he'll never want to do this job - it's too entry level - he has an MBA). And that's at both the associate/junior and regular PM level. One thing I hear over and over is how "unique" it is to find a candidate with both engineering & marketing experience -- but perhaps that's code for "your career history is all over the place."

So, what can I do to better market myself / convince HR & hiring managers that I'm a quality candidate? Should I take my MBA off my resume/linkedin? Should I get a PMP certificate to prove that I understand gantt charts? Should I say fuck it and start applying for dev jobs?

Appreciate the hive mind's advice :)
Or use an unofficial build, like those found in Linux distro repositories.
September 23, 2017 You Need to See This
I've been using Bitbucket's free private repositories for several years and it works great for me. I think the catch is just that you can only have five users on a team, so you need to convert to a paid account if you bring in more people. If it's just your own stuff, then obviously that's not a concern. I think it's just a loss leader to bring people in and try to convert some of them to a paid offering at some point.

Am I one of the rare developers that grew up in rural USA that has remnants of what are now known as survival skills but I just consider as childhood fun?

it's not that i ain't willing to pay for its license, its that i prefer it to be free software (the problem is that being free software they'll have to change a lot of things to monetize as much as if it isn't).

about the reasons to be "more free" (as in free spech): collaborative development
if you switch between networks you suddenly no longer have a transparent transaction. Mind you, the details of the transaction (i.e. which account BTC the ETH was converted into) can be retrieved, but not without some effort and paperwork from authorities.

If you say, split up the ETH and tumble it into a number of smaller wallets, transfer it to BTC with a bunch of seperate accounts and/or exchanges, and then tumble it again on the BTC side, then it no longer is as simple as requesting one transaction from one account.

Now you have to trace the currency through the tumbler, request information on n number of accounts while providing details indicating that all n accounts are tied to some crime, and then trace all of said currency through another tumbler.

At this point, if it all ends up into one BTC wallet, you could find them. However if it ends up in a number of smaller BTC wallets, you also have to now prove that those wallets are all owned by the same person and not just a bunch of wallets owned by seperate people who happened to have a total of x amount of BTC adding up to roughly the equivalent value in ETH minus transaction fees.

It goes from one step with some paperwork into months worth of work by a team of skilled people, a tonne of paperwork, and a high probability of ending up with a dead end after all of this.
Monero is also not quite untraceable with the defaults. It requires understanding Monero a bit, and spending days churning your coins. The idea that Monero is so unlinkable is horrible marketing and is going to get someone busted.
I was thinking in terms of the practice of religion. While a religion often has an associated cosmology and other myths about the physical world, they have little effect on most believer's lives (not even in their religious observances, specifically), and religions do not generally change fundamentally, let alone fall, if their beliefs about the physical world are found to be unrealistic.
It would take years to get into place the infrastructure needed to supply aid for 300 million people. But the population would be greatly reduced by that time.
> I want a world where even the deplorable are able to express their thoughts and feelings.

Yes, but we (speaking as a person, not a representative of any company) don't have to supply them with a platform to spread their hate and we don't have to sit idly by while they do it.

> Yes, speech must have restrictions. However, we already know what those restrictions are

Do we? What are they?
It's not "pretty much the exact same thing". ST is much faster and can handle very large files (say, CSVs in the hundreds of MBs) (as an aside, VS Code is much more performant than Atom)
Did you just write 3 paragraphs of Atom review on the sublime 3.0 release announcement?
The real kicker here is the tip jar at the end of the article.
Thanks, although I personally feel it's more like a decent article disguised as a bad powerpoint (text overload) - works better when sharing it afterwards though.

I've been told it's better live when I combine it with barely-contained frustration - turns out to be a very relatable experience for many.

I have been lucky enough to never have been in an organisation with a dedicated brainstorming team, but your description definitely sounds like how it would play out in reality. Thanks for sharing, now I know it's a red flag.

If you combine that with brainstorming being misused for identifying problems (instead of solutions to known problems) like I mention early on, things probably get even worse.
yeah, my hope is that eventually they'll release it as free software. I'd be happy to donate at that point.
Gmail?
I think I played Minecraft just before it went into beta and stopped playing it when it "came out". I don't know how long that was, but Sublime Text 3 beta certainly felt even longer.

edit: correction, the beta of minecraft lasted only a year, so it definitely felt longer to me. Weird memory tricks eh.
Thanks for the explanation. As someone who in a past life developed Java systems (post-2006) for a variety of targets, I was never super clear on what Java EE's value proposition was or how it differed from frameworks that didn't require a separate install.

I now gather that it is a collection of helpful packages constituting a framework, but distributed separately from mainline Java core packages.
I second this. I meander back and forth between Sublime and Atom, for exactly this reason - Sublime is faster, but Atom has done some key things better (e.g. package management).
Kudos to the ST team for never trying to patent or sue random companies for using the multi-select feature. That feature alone has helped improve so many editors.
