I worry that too often startups and developers write off content marketing as "more 500 word fluff blog posts".

As devs we have a tremendous advantage in that we can build tools as a form of "content engineering" that easily have 10 to a 100x the impact of just writing articles.

An article that gives advice and a tool that actually helps you put that advice into practice while seemingly related - in terms of execution are in wildly different categories in people's heads.

I'm deep in the mix of this right now and the one tool we have on our site [1] has about double the traffic of our dozen (well written, authoritative, 1500+ word) blog posts combined [2].

I always hear from other developers that they aren't good at marketing. I'm telling you - this is like a freaking marketing superpower.

And specifically, thank you Postgres contributors and maintainers for your time and energy. You've done your community and peers an invaluable service.
I know this is sarcasm!
I just saw this come up in an arpilisp discussion thread (https://github.com/marcpaq/arpilisp).

ChrysaLisp is an Assembler/C-Script/Lisp 64 bit OS. MIMD, multi CPU, multi threaded, multi core, multi user, and will build from source in ~2 seconds on most OS X or x64 Linux desktops.

Maybe this will let me live vicariously through someone who has actually built the project I always dream of creating in my free time.
Ignore the outliers, look for the general trend.
I think the messages are crossing paths here.

Your initial concern of 1000 loads per project is actually 50000 and can be raised.

The limit of 1000 loads per TABLE per day is there, can't be raised, and a couple posts above explain how to work with this limit. This limit is also higher for partitioned tables.

Apologies for brevity.
>And these are places, not products

Those places have products that contain the toxic chemical, An apartment building is not poisonous by itself, they contain products that contain the harmful chemical. That's what they should be warning you about.
I'm wondering that too, about implementing DAT browsing as an extension!
Bringing cron workflows to distributed systems
Thanks for letting me know! I was failing to include a CSS file—should be better now.
It's not hard to construct a reasoned motivation for anything you might want to do. That doesn't mean it's worth listening to.
I'm a Security Engineer and there's no way in heck I would work for Equifax for $110k. Not after their disaster.

The problem at a lot of businesses is security has no tangible ROI. You're not going to make a million bucks because you implemented a new SIEM.

The value of security is hidden. It prevents you from having loss. It's hard to quantify the value when your job is, essentially, preventing bad things from happening.
It's more likely to get drowned, but I still feel sorry for the poor plant.
> "Subtly bringing down others" is also an opinion (it's probably not how they see it or how the person they communicate with sees it).

You're telling the OP you understand his situation better than he does and that everything is just his opinion. That's some blatant hypocrisy.

To quote your original comment:

> Because logically, these what you call "over confident" people get stuff done and get praise (or you wouldn't be jealous of them!) Yes, you are jealous of the success which you think is undeserved.

There's nothing that supports that fact. How do you know they get stuff done? How do you know they get praise? And how in the world did you come to the conclusion that he's jealous of their success? You're simply masquerading false assumptions as psychological advice.

At best you're attacking a straw man. You've build this fictive world in which the real, toxic, people are actually successful and worthy, but it's the OP who is too petty to acknowledge their true worth. But you're not talking about the reality. Worse, you're blaming the OP for not seeing the reality how your fiction is.

At worst, you might be so absorbed in your fiction where everything wrong is just someone's opinion or useless emotion, that you might be toxic yourself.

Just to be clear why I'm so aggressive with you, I have met toxic people, and I have felt being drained and put down by them. If you think these people do not exist, or don't mean harm, you're sorely mistaken. I can agree that they're being defensive, that they're actually afraid of being attacked so they attack first, but I can't agree with the fact that they don't exist or that it's my jealousness that hinders me from appreciating their worth.
The company I left a few years ago did this in order to obfuscate the rampant issues that were being unaddressed.

The recipe was to hire in a bunch of college grads, and while they're still nervous about their first corporate gig, have the VP of Human Resources email a demand that they post a glowing review.

And, when the rating inevitably continues to be hammered by negatives, instead of addressing the patterns within the negative reviews, HR would send that review demand to the overseas team(s) where the jobs were even more tenuously-held.

While HR made glaringly obvious positive reviews, themselves, of course. Pretty insidious.
Also, if the quota can be negotiated, I would reccomended verbiage closer to that of the GA reporting API limits:

50,000 requests per project per day, which can be increased.
Apple charges $79 for an out-of-warranty battery replacement, fwiw. That includes the labor and risk of damage to the phone, but still seems a little high.

I've had such bad luck with knock-off batteries in general that I really don't want to risk one in my phone.

My iPhone 6 is down to about 83% max capacity (1500/1810 mAh) after 3 years of daily 1-3 full discharges: ~2200 cycles (total guess, I don't know if the phone tracks this, but I can't find it). Seems like a pretty robust part.
Not really... I am not sure whether an actual "Brexit" will happen, given the recent breakdown in talks with our European counterparts. Politically, they may say that we've left Europe, but in reality, the ties are rather deep and difficult to sever (some might even compare it to chopping your own leg off!). I am looking forward to the dip in housing prices as the government flip flops on policy and interest rates begin to rise - that alone is a fairly good reason to stay in the UK! Also, from a business perspective, it's an easy place to get things going. I have a bit of experience with setting up entities in other countries, and the UK process is comparatively straightforward.
This rant about societal evolution is mostly based on grounded political science and governance.

tldr: Regulation drives technological evolution, access to information drives product requirements when physical regulation is not there. Without information the free market stagnates (read; fails over time as an efficient tool to drive society forwards).

If the world will be reigned by fascism, the increase in technological requirements (increasing requirements on efficiency, availability, longetivety etc) will solely be on the consumer (read more; the enlightened consumer) - without as much, precise and accessible information as possible that system will fall. Those who favours less information are the same with one or more tied interests to upkeeping status quo. Regressives (majority of the conservatives) are not for meritocracy as the context change pushing meritocracy is upsetting status quo by default.
If you like to be cynic the "war" to be allowed to know (the age of missinformation) is allready here with manipulated narratives and fake mainstream news.

Regulation is an easier way to sustain a minimum of increasing requirements and when that is not there (inter)nets (read; communication/access to information) will play a key role to technological evolution.

Hopefully this means someone has gotten a little better insight into correlation and causation.
You're on HN though. When I used to do websites I would give options with tiered prices. Something on SquareSpace (or similar) would be a cheaper option but I would let them know why. A custom, scratch built site would be 3-4x more money so they would usually go with the cheaper option. Very few clients truly cared about the website. They just knew they needed one and didn't really care about the method used to achieve it.
That seems to be exactly what Barraketh is saying, "the preferences of individuals weighted by their net worth"

The preferences of rich _individuals_ have a much higher influence than those of poor individuals.
There are all kinds of motivations to post a negative review, and not all of those motivations map "reliably" to accuracy. Leaving a job can be traumatic for employees for reasons that have nothing to do with the company's culture or behavior--a disgruntled employee fired for cause has a strong motivation to leave a bad review, but that doesn't mean it is reliable.

Glassdoor has the same pros and cons of any review aggregator. It is susceptible to gaming (perhaps uniquely so, like Yelp, because the companies being reviewed are also Glassdoor's advertisers). But it provides a directionally accurate view of a corporate environment given a large enough sample size of reviews--and as with any review, more credence should be given to examples that are clear, detailed and well-written.
Turn radius is mostly a cost question. If you want to get from city A to city B the most direct path has zero turns. It's also got stuff you want to avoid to save money.
I mainly program in clojure. The experience is just too good to be swayed by the bad points.

That said, I wrote a moderately complex program recently where having dynamic types was a hindrance. I had to do mental book keeping in order to make sure I was constructing correct structures. I frequently didn't and the bugs were hard to track down.

However, Clojure Spec came along, and I applied it to the problem. The difficulties became surmountable.

It's a case where if I had been fluent in haskell, I probably would have used it. But I'm not, and this project was for work, so I didn't have the luxury of time to figure it out.

Spec alleviates mental book keeping of structures by adding checkers and clarifying/codifying intent.
> it should not need an external service to operate. If it does then I'm not buying it.

And how do you know, pre-purchase, whether it does?
And if you need that, you can easily write a function to do it in one of dozens of languages – from pl/SQL to pl/V8, or even pl/C – or even directly write an extension (and I think there are already a few for that purpose)
Somehow the Android version looks far less complicated (and far more polished) than the PC version. Not really what I expect out of most open source ports.
Yeah definitely streaming API. This use case is MADE for BigQuery :)

Check out, as well as the blog posts on the required reading list on the topic of inserts. There's also a pretty good Kafka-bq connector.

It sounds like "ingest" was the big factor in your choice of a data warehouse. Regardless, I think bigquery has the best story in the industry here (but I'm biased).

I'd help more hands on but sadly not online for a while :)
I think the gradual typing TypeScript provides is pretty useful, with relaitvely low friction.
Wow! That's so inspiring! Thanks a lot for your inspiring words mate. Actually I have put a lot of project on side many times, this time it ain't happening. A part reason to write the progress is accountability. So that I keep pushing even when I feel like I don't want to.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss (but with an extra serving of self-righteousness).
I mean, I feel like part of that is that part of that is how small a part of metro Boston Boston itself is. I live outside of the city and the city is crazy expensive to me. I haven't spent time in the UK though.

Although, that said, we can keep going down the line and look at cities like Raleigh or Austin where wages are not that much lower than here and prices are way lower. Definitely have been tempted by that at times.
> the imminent collapse of the economy and our National Health Service.

The NHS is already fucked. Loosing all those staff is genuinely going to kill people.

The NHS has already lost 10,000 staff. The training organisations haven't seen more students signing up - some saw significantly fewer.

Hunt's plan to forbid access to A&E unless you've been referred shows how desperate the situation is.
And with the Note 4 fiasco, I'd guess there's tremendous reputational value in playing it well on the safe side for a couple more years at least.
Ask HN: What was your first job?
Please use the original title when submitting something to HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I said nothing of frequency, just that the two operations involved in most startups, starting and ending, are way easier in the US.

My business has been around for 10 years this year, so who knows wtf you’re on about.
It is not analogous to the Trolley problem.

In the case of torture, the question is whether pain may be inflicted on a person to extract information, and in recent public discussion, esp. where known terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) are concerned.

In the Trolley problem, you are put in a situation out of your control and in which you may influence the nature and degree of casualties by flipping a switch. The concerns here are about whether one choice (flip, don't flip) is morally preferable to another, whether one is morally obligated to make one choice over another, etc.

In your nuclear bomb thought experiment, the question is somewhat artificial and vague where potentially relevant distinctions could be made. Are we inflicting pain because we wish to extract information that will enable us to prevent the bomb from going off? Is there some device inside the guilty party that measures pain and disarms the bomb at appropriately high level?

Utilitarians, and broadly consequentialists, like to frame everything in terms of a moral calculus of maximizing good while reducing evils, but it leads to clearly perverse conclusions like the justification of committing morally evil acts so that some other good may come. Whether torture as a method of extracting information from people like KSM is immoral is not a question of whether we can justify torture because the good of the information we may gain exceeds the evil of torture, but whether torture is intrinsically evil, and if not, whether it is ever justifiable as a method of extracting information, esp. from guilty parties.
The really funny part is that that the US became so fat and inept that based on the current "brief" Russia was more successful than the United States in fixing elections. Not using tanks, or deep cover operatives but by using Facebook, Twitter and Google. Companies with a combined market capitalization of 1.3 trillion dollars!

Think about it. How bloody out to lunch we have to be to accept that Russia a country that we claim is ran by a dictator, the country with no technology, the country where people are barely surviving managed to fix the US presidential elections?! I guess it is possible if Google, Facebook and Twitter are ran by pimple-faced teenagers out of parents basement and they were playing against a nation state but come on.
Ask HN: Where do you go to get recruiters to find you a job?
I'm looking for a new role, but would like to work with recruiters to reduce time consuming job searches and applications. Where can you go to basically announce to recruiters that it's worth their time to find a good job match for you, rather than just spam by keywords?

I'd like to be able to continue to be a good employee at my current job, have time to spend with my family, and develop my side projects. So I'd much prefer a recruiter to go to bat for me so all I'd have to do is show up for the interview.

I'm leaving because I feel that both professional and skill growth at my current company is limited, but otherwise have a good relationship with everyone I work with, so I'm in no rush to do an intensive job search on my own.

Thanks HN!
> That's why you need standards, so vague terms like the 'general public don't care' are not used to abuse them.

I wouldn't argue so much for standards of technology, as for standards of conduct. It's funny you mention doctors and civil engineers, two professions with high ethical standards precisely because they went through the same painful growth the software industry is going through now.

The 'general public', quite frankly, is ignorant about a great many things. And let's be honest: it is very rare indeed to be the kind of person with the aptitude, time and willingness to become a polymath to the point that you'll never be scammed in any field, ever. It is incumbent upon us, the knowledgeable and ethical practicioners of our field, to hold not just ourselves, but our whole industry to a higher standard. Thus, discussions such as this one on HN where we point out that IoT devices could cause a world of hurt because of all the make-a-quick-buck hucksters who couldn't be arsed to do due diligience.
when hype-driven development was immature enough to prefer MySQL

I don't think that's an accurate description. In the 90s computers were _a lot_ slower.. and having the option of putting up with a few warts in exchange for increased performance was a significant advantage over postgres.

That early advantage gave them a much larger ecosystem - apps that required MySQL, developers that were familiar with it, etc.

It took years for that early advantage to be overcome by postgres.. both by improving Postgres performance, and as computers became faster people were less willing to make the compromises that MySQL provided.

I think it's worth acknowledging MySQL's early advantages, and not pretending 15 years of popularity was somehow because people were "immature".
why it is "artificially cheap" ? price is result of supply / demand , and if nobody wants to live in suburbs then price will also be low. I agree that police/emergency/firefighters will be subsidised by district, but for example trash services could have higher pricing to compensate longer trips to locations. same applies for water/gas services. For example my dad recently build tiny house in suburbs of one small city and he paid his own money to do some pipe works in order to have city's water supply. Same for sewage. But still pricing is lower compared to city's more central places because of prestige and comfort, so it makes sense to have cheaper pricing in suburbs.

I understand what you are trying to say but it contradicts how currently market is working, because in order to make sense city's apartments should be cheaper compared to suburbs, but given that population in cities is increasing, it means demand for apartments in cities is increasing, so increasing pricing too, and then we go back to square one - suburbs are cheaper to acquire.
I grew up reading 2600 and the jargon file and early slashdot, and hanging out on freenode and usenet, so i've been indoctrinated in this way of thinking this way for 20 years. In my experience, the people who built the net are among its sharpest and most vocal critics, and there's some cause for that.

I'm not sure what the implications of everyone else thinking this way will be.
Marijn, I'm big fan and user of CodeMirror. I make extensive use (and arguably abuse) of it in my side project. Thanks for building ProseMirror.

One thing, how does ProseMirror work roughly? Does it avoid the `contentEditable` minefield? (I'm speaking as someone who has built a WYSIWYG editor in a past job.)
any good resources for going deeper on the analytical capabilities of postgres? ya know, beyond basic window functions. How can i leverage stored procs etc?
Facebook Ads with job title targeting.
It's true that it doesn't make as much sense from a business perspective as it once did to have a deep training pipeline. If I were suggesting that Google switch over to such a model for all their hiring that would be all there was to say on the matter.

But here Google is looking to donate $1 billion as a charitable contribution to address a specific social problem. I'm suggesting an alternative way of "spending" that money. From that standpoint the fact that such a training program is sub-optimal in a bottom line sort of way isn't as important -- indeed it is kind of the point. The difference between the optimal business focused process and such a hiring and training program would be in lieu of the donation that Google is planning on making.

It's my contention that this way of spending money would yield more benefits than the current plan. I could well be wrong, but just criticizing the idea from a business efficiency angle misses the point.
That’s not how economics works. The economy was depressed due to the election year (uncertainty) and bounced back.

Any additional growth is mostly attributable to Obamaera policy (tho some short term juicing of markets has happened under Trump occasionally).
So we've established that sometimes it's OK to harm or kill someone.

Now we're trying to establish the boundaries of that.
Agreed. I imagine this has applications in compression as well. You could stream a movie (or a football game) in black and white and enable each device to color it on the spot. A similar technique could also be done for HD/3D/VR.
People will follow the money. Corporation tax is likely to go down further.

Ask HN: Any ideas for a underused personal domain?
Most of you have a personal domain hosting an "About Page" or something similar. Are there any clever things we could also do?
You have a point, though in English, we already have that problem with the difference between 'theory' in general usage, and in science.
> And how do you know, pre-purchase, whether it does?

By requiring a warning label on it, as the title suggests. Doesn't seem like such a silly idea now, does it?
> You can create any number of moral structures that would allow for torture that still do not allow for indiscriminate violence.

They do however allow for someone to sit down and decide in a quiet methodical way they they are about to deliberately injure another defenseless human being.

> So your moral system requires that its adherents view incompatible or competing moral structures as inferior. So what? They can do the same to yours.

In some cases yes. For example anyone that justifies torture or slavery.
Yes, yes they do. Except more so.
This port was done to address the proliferation of build time dependencies on GLib; the cross-compilation hassle of having a small C utility being built and used during the build

Anyone know what cross-compilation hassle are they talking about? If the build system compiles and uses a C program during the build, then it is not really cross-compilation is it?
The problem is it's a separate organization spending the money. So, while you can point to cost aka actual spending it's unclear what the net benefit from that spending is.
Maybe he rounded. He could've started the letter after 9 years and 182 days and finished it a day later.
