Sorry about your loss.

While I understand how frustrating it was to lose use of the app in a delicate situation like that, I can see why developers would do that. A business has to pay for maintaining compatibility over many versions (engineering time, complexity, ...), and with free consumer apps like WhatsApp, it makes business sense to bug users to update or disable altogether.

As a consumer, I hope such empathy for users catches on though. The emergence of UX designers and now accessibility experts has made software more empathetic, so who knows, maybe there will be pressure to stop forced updates.
So there is a huge side benefit to installing F-Droid, even if you never install any apps from it. It registers as an "app store", so when a link launches the app store your phone asks you which one you would like to launch and you can cancel it.

In Michigan, the lack of regulation around autonomous testing can be great. At first, you just needed a $30 manufacturer plate to do autonomous testing anywhere in Michigan, but I'm pretty sure they recently got rid of that requirement.

Level 2 autonomy is not exceedingly difficult to achieve either. If your car has LKAS/ACC or similar features you can port something like openpilot[0] over to your car.

The article says "You" so I'll put aside for a moment the situation where there are three admins and they should all have their own account.

Great! Now Stop Using Your Root Account

If you can make an unprivileged account for general use, great! Separation of privs is an awesome thing. But if you're going to make an IAM account with AdministratorAccess and BillingAccess as described, how is that any safer to use than the root account? I see this a lot and I'm quite interested in the reasoning.

I've also found that certain forms - like the Penetration Test permission form, must be done as root. So you need to use the account occasionally even if you don't want to.
I am financially secure. At most, I risk about $3500 because I'll sell if they go below $24 each.

I did the same thing with Tesla, though they were $24 at the time.

I've written about this before, here in HN comments. I often make stock choices based on the commentary at sites like Slashdot and HN. No, I don't listen to people saying to sell or buy, I listen to the hype and commentary about the companies themselves. As another example I did well with Yahoo!

To be clear, this isn't serious money. I have someone who professionally manages my finances. This is more an experiment and is meant to to play around.

I know, that probably sounds a bit terrible. But, it's not money I am worried about losing and I'm actually doing pretty good at speculating. I make greater returns than the person who does it for me - which is to be expected. I take a bunch of risks, don't do traditional research, and don't even check the daily prices.
Selling $100M of shares sums up the entire story. No matter how WeWork will end, the founder has done his exit + salary in all the years.
The last investor will be the one to pay the bills - probably the public via an IPO.
Apple does this too. Run "strings" on various libraries in Apple's OSes and you will find plenty of instances of bundle identifiers of non-Apple apps.
In some ways that sounds like the Zenefits model. Compete with one service on lower/break-even margins, and use it as lead-gen for selling in other higher-margin services.

If they can sufficiently grow and diversify their recurring revenue streams across services offered and industries of clients served, that could give them solid staying power, even in a down market.

I was recently helping local veterinarians to clean their computers. It was so bad that they were switching between two machines when one of them was freezing.

Yes, their computers are old but they don't have a budget to buy new ones. Memory and CPU aren't cheap when you are not a middle-class citizen of a rich country. Bloated and bugged software with poor UX design seriously affects people's lives, prevents them from doing their important jobs.

Please, strive for quality. We are engineers – others depend on our creations.
>I mean I rarely come across examples of such relationships with reversed gender roles. In fact when it’s an older female faculty member and a younger male pupil it’s often portrayed as, directly or subtly, something perverse or an abuse of some sort and isn’t shown to be as open and accepted as its counterpart (my example).

The current President of France met and fell in love with his wife when she was his teacher.
Have you looked at the Hugo themes and the tags on the right side?

Here are themes tagged Portfolio: https://themes.gohugo.io/tags/portfolio/

I actually find many themes that are non-blog based in there.
This is also important for SEO these days. If you have site speed issues, particularly on mobile, you could run into issues.
It is. It's a targeted expenditure (vs. a lower sales tax rate overall) but IANAL.
I love it. They're literally trying things that have never been done before. Look, at the end of the day, these drivers can just as easily 1) go to lyft, or 2) get a "real" job. And Uber can't afford for either to happen. This is pure capitalism, pure economics, pure financial calculations. We'll see how it works out, and they'll probably drop it at some point, but hell, let's give it a shot. If it's as "terrible" as everyone is bitching about, it won't hold up. What's your problem?
This is so true. The difference between an ml expert and a novice is often less than a few percent on accuracy.
I see your point but don't personally relate at all.

I don't need some sort of personal identification with my curiosity. It's wholly uninteresting to me to have that sort of ego in the situation. It's just a plain fact that I'm curious and that's part of my motivations in learning. I don't need some reinforcement. In fact, I find emphasizing the idea of feeling good about having curiosity in a personal sense ("my curiosity) to be an awkward ego-boost.

I don't do better by thinking I'm good at stuff, it's a distraction.

I happen to be a musician and music teacher. I know from personal experience, knowledge of psychology research, and experience talking with many others that the whole idea of being talented and good at music is a source for the worst of depressive performance anxiety. The most skilled musicians beat themselves up over little mistakes even when the audience loved the concert. On the flip side, narcissistic self-absorbed musicians can be technically skilled but obnoxious.

Get the ego out of all of this. The point is to do something meaningful in the world. I got over my performance anxieties when I learned to stop caring about whether I was judged as good or bad or talented or whatever and just focused instead on using whatever skills I have to provide maximum value for audiences and students. I still think about all the ways I could do better and I can tell you where I succeed. I mean, I can plainly describe my failures and successes. But I'm only interested in doing better so that I provide more value and meaning to others. Every time anything is about me and my ego, it's misguided.

The goal is to be expressive rather than impressive. Pride should go away entirely.

I actually became a musician because I found it fascinating and challenging whereas I resented people assuming I'd be a mathematician because I was naturally good at math. I have a knack for math, I'm good at it. So what? That didn't make me motivated.

I think all the stuff you're getting at lives within the smaller context where people who are self-conscious and in the normal range of egocentricity do indeed take motivation from ego-boosts. Unfortunately, ego-boosts amplify the deeper disease, since the real goal is ego elimination as far as we can.

There's evidence from psychological research (sorry this is memory from reading, don't have citation) that feedback like "you had a good sense of rhythm there" and "you got all the notes right but need to work on keeping the dynamics even" are correlated with experienced successful teaching and successful students whereas "good job!" and "you're so talented" are throwaway crap that inexperienced teachers say.

In a recent chat, someone shared the anecdote that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at UCLA early in his basketball career broke major records in like his first game, and his coach just said "good job, keep it up" (along with continued coaching on improvements etc) instead of giving him praise about how great he was. As I heard it, Kareem said it was the best thing for him. The last thing he needed was more praise and ego-boosting.
>Make is well on its own, especially for everything that is not portable C

Do you have examples of non trivial projects that use only Makefiles and nothing else as a build system?
I think in practice it isn't a higher cost: a lot of code in languages with nullable pointers also has a pile of unnecessary dynamic checks (e.g. checking arguments aren't null).

That is a neat article, thanks! I'd never seen it before but it's fairly close to what I've been doing.

I do another one and someone told me there's a technical name for it. I forget the name.

When I go shopping, I'll discretely look in shopping carts. I'll make a mental note and check to see how well the shelves are stocked in comparison to other products. If I see a lot of the same company in carts, to the point where the store hasn't matched stocking well, then I'll look further into the parent company.

So far, it has done well. I'd never played in the market before and my 401k was always managed. So, this is pretty new for me. I've been at it since maybe 2011.
This looks promising, but it is hard to discern exactly where to start with it. Is anyone else looking into it?
That seems to be the business model of all "enterprise" products.
FWIW I'm glad you wrote this. Having looked at Jekyll alternatives before, the field is severely lacking especially in terms of static sites generators that don't immediately assume you're publishing a blog.

The author is French. Using Roman numerals for centuries is the standard in Romance languages. And fecund is less obscure if your language derives from Latin. Not disagreeing, just explaining.
Seconded. I discovered this the hard way when I bought a 15" Lenovo.
> There is no such thing as nosql

This is not at all correct. SQL has well defined semantics that are standardized around the relational model and ACID guarantees. A nosql datastore is one that intentionally makes tradeoffs that force it to deviate from that model. The name makes sense if you understand that SQL was the first broadly adopted language that targeted the relational model.

I'm not very familiar with the systems you mention other than Presto. But if they do not provide relational guarantees then even if they have SQL-like syntax the semantics are sufficiently different for them to not be implementing a true SQL. Hence, nosql.
> Today he got fired from everything that he's involved with. The apology was career suicide.

I'm obviously not familiar with the exact situation, but I'd be willing to bet money that he had received word that it was going to become public and the apology was an attempt to appear proactively remorseful and to circumvent the consequences resulting from the forthcoming publication. (In other words, the "apology" was not the precipitating action.)
hah! sorry about that, i indeed did!

That said, if you have to explain your joke, you've failed :) It was too long!
I would absolutely agree.

During my final years of the university I had spent 1 to 2 years being absolutely stoned - even had the same routine described in Infinite Jest, where I would plan for the week, how much and when should I smoke.

Over that time those who would notice me being sober would assume I was actually stoned, due to the visible changes in my behaviour. Again, not a single person knew me sober: not coworkers and neither any of my friends.

I had successfully finished the university since then and I am currently working a senior software engineer in London City.

Neither would I recommend trying the same - but what I did learn was that anything officially stated about that drug is way far away from the truth, and that _is_ the problem. The devil is in the subtleties.
People react to alcohol differently. I personally stopped heavy drinking because it causes me to enter a semi-conscious state where I honestly believe I act as if I am in a dream state, with basically non-existent rationality. The result was personal injury and property damage in college and that was enough to know to stop. (Thankfully when in this state of mind I never hurt or abused other people, I generally was either super friendly or verbally hostile, but in any case had minimal recollection or explanation for my behavior.)

An open letter to Wikipedia–you can do better
Endowments are there to provide "passive income" for the university and not to be spent. One of the main things interest on an endowment funds is financial aid. Endowment size is a pretty decent proxy for how generous a financial aid program is.

Spending down an endowment could provide lots of free tuition... for a few years. Universities (like the Church) think in centuries.

If Scoble had been arrested, charged, and gone to trial, it would send a clear message. Hiding doesn’t help the next person and allows for more victims. The suicide might have happened anyway, but the not raising a fuss sure didn’t prevent self harm.
"decentralized" wikipedia with a flat UI that requires 1.5Mb .js just for the landing page and running either a full eth node or a half-assed chrome extension (and hence isn't available on mobile).

Abusive men often target women who have been previously abused. A woman who has been previously treated badly may not readily recognize a nicer expression of sexual interest. They still have sexual and emotional needs. So, they hook up with the men that they are able to comprehend as actively interested.

Yes, it is complicated. But, the receptivity of some women mostly goes to show how deep the problem goes and how pervasive it is.
So it does sound like there's a potentially incompatible layer of libraries between application and WM to a degree that isn't really the case with X11, by design. Well, I hope standardization happens quickly. One of the things I like about X11 is how agnostic applications and WMs are to each other, as well as how applications written years and years ago are still compatible with modern X servers.
Not to say that these are not issues, but the treatment of students is also highly field-dependent. In addition, in fields like mathematics (mine), most postdoctoral positions (even very good ones) come with a certain amount of teaching, and students who have not had significant classroom experience sometimes will have difficulty finding good positions.

Also, how much TAing one does really varies a huge amount between fields. AFAIK students do much more teaching in the humanities than in STEM, and within STEM departments that teach lots of service courses (e.g., math) will tend to have more TAships than departments that do not.

> What's your problem?

My problem is that Uber has a bunch of venture capital that it can use to entice and entrap vulnerable populations into an exploitative relationship.

It's only "pure capitalism" if one has a shockingly naive view of economics that ignores all of the preconditions that are required for a free market. For example, information symmetry, which is laughably not true given that Uber controls the dispatching with algorithms that are opaque to drivers.

As time approaches infinity, yes, I believe the market will sort out many issues with Uber. In the meantime, I think they have the potential to grind up and spit out many people.
They didn't make such a distinction - it would have lessened the camouflage.

Even assuming that the product is so-so, saying that they did not create wealth is a bit disingenuous. They basically created "NoSQL" discussions at a time where most settled on some SQL variant despite their difficulties.

It's not like they were just a vendor of some other product. They actually spent money on the product, on evangelism (kind of marketing, but also kind of development), on so much.

He was artistic director of a local theatre, and he came under fire from them, which is what prompted the public confession/apology, but then he was fired from his role as head writer and part time performer in a locally produced sitcom, booted out of an improv troupe he was in, and he had a couple plays lined up with different theatres that were cancelled.

This all happened in less than 24 hours. If he hadn't made the confession I'm not sure he would've lost all of that.

Open-source projects tend to stay below 1.0 much longer than commercial projects, because there's no rush to release a "1.0".

If your software works well enough, people will be using it, no matter what the version number is. You can't stop them from doing that and you really don't want to stop them from doing that either. You'll never get outside contributions, if no one uses your project.

And if it doesn't work well enough, well, it's not like you're selling it for money. You're never going to give a guarantee for it working, whether it's past the 1.0 or not.

Of course, you're going to try to not needlessly break it, if there's people using it, but again, you'll have people using it long before the 1.0. Most likely you're going to be using it yourself, as soon as it's somewhat usable.
OK. Thanks. We are working on Multi-AZ right now.

Why Bitcoin Buyers Should Heed Lessons of China’s Bubbles
These are precisely the kinds of things that unions will fight for though.

Just assuming that the university (out of its goodwill?) will do any of those things is kind of ludicrous. At my university, we had to fight tooth and nail (we had a union) to get the university to improve our health insurance and full waive our tuition (They did a tricky thing where they would waive all people with 50% TA-ships, and then they gave everyone a 49% one. Universities are not noble, altruistic actors. Far far from it)
That's kind of the point. Those are relatively rudimentary things that don't make them an Apple expert. Yet tech communities like HN sponge up every one of their posts.

They were just great at self-promotion. Though, this isn't a fair time to be lumping them in with Scoble.

In fact, I think this top thread of "lol why is Scoble popular anyways?" is pretty lame and counter-productive. It's like "lol he has a stupid haircut anyways": a cheap feel-good bullying opportunity that's only socially acceptable right now because he's on the hook.

I would say that these abuses of power are intrinsic to having power. Also it's usually not the faculty vs the students. If you asked any single faculty member if they would rather

1.) Overwork their students, stretch them thin doing everything.

2.) Have more graduate students.

They would always pick #2. Professors are notoriously short-handed. They are typically not the ones who are outright abusing the power. It's usually the administration tying the professor's hands in these matters.

As a graduate student, your boss is usually the administration more than the professor - especially w.r.t. things a union would care about (workplace safety, wages, benefits, overwork...). Professors do not like to overwork their students - it's just they don't care if you are overworked.
