Ask HN: Do you use your work computer for personal stuff?
The question is rather broad. Do you have a personal conputer besides the one provided by your employer? If not, to what extend do you use your work computer for personal things such as chats, banking and side projects?

Personally, I always had a big and powerful work station at home which I would use. I also had a laptop for when I travelled. Until, I got hired by a company which gave me a powerful Macbook Pro. Ever since, I rarely use my personal computer and almost always use my Macbook. I take it on holidays, I use it for side projects etc. When I first got hired, I asked whether this was allowed. The answer was that they don’t care and that I should treat it as my own. With the condition that if it breaks, I pay. Mind you, I work for a small startup. The laptop came brand new and I unboxed it myself. My employer never had access to it.

I am curious to see how others do this and whether this is common practice.

It doesn't matter if I can afford it... I can afford to spend $500 too. Doesn't mean I'm going to spend it on just anything.

Making a meme on a website is barely worth the time I spend doing it. The $10 seems reasonable if I make a ton of memes and it's a good website though. The $1 is just ridiculous and they should just take that option out purely because it changes the dynamics as to how you view the website. Charging $1 for a meme is so ridiculous that I think people will look at the $1 and run, while viewing it as a monthly $10 service will be more palatable.

Just make sure you have Block or Coin in project name.
Hey, another question. In your write-up you mention enumerating the possibilities when no deduction is possible, and picking one of the lower ranked cells found like this. However, a couple of improvements come to mind.

First you could weight each possible configuration by the number of mines it contains per square vs the average remaining over the whole board (so a very mine heavy configuration is less likely if not many mines remain).

Another thing you mention is that once you find the counts per square, picking any one of the lower counted ones is the same. This doesn't look true for me. One would also want a click to reveal as much information as possible, so clicking in an area with low density of mines is better. In your example clicking into the middle right 2 next to the three ones would likely reveal more info than clicking on the top right 2.

Did you consider these as possible improvements?

They sought to promote themselves to the managerial/business roles that no longer required to write much code. That makes them less involved with the development, not the other way around. I don't think the reason for them to start a business is because someone else urges them to stop writing code for bitcoin.
Even with paved access and a substantial budget, I'm not sure building permits would be feasible for any future construction. I don't know that they've been singled out by local officials so much as the original designs weren't forward compatible with modern (1980's+) building requirements.

They've done a commendable job of trying to keep up with some modern advancements since the original designs were inked in the 60's. They have fiber optic internet access, some solar panels, and a few ADA-compliant ramps. My concerns would be more about integrity of the foundations. Modern surveying, concrete chemistry, and so on have raised the bar. I think there may have also been problems with routing utility lines with ventilation shafts and not having much of an alternative due to the structures being solid, load-bearing concrete.

As an organization, I don't have very much faith in the leadership doing much more than barely staying afloat. There's a strong bias for seniority over meritocracy, which over the long term frustrates and deflects talented people with good ideas and favors people who just stick around or have don't have better alternatives.
We only hire the best means we only hire the trendiest (2016)
-People used to barter raw goods

-Then people used placeholders instead of goods to barter, like precious gems or sea shells

-Then people used gold coins

-Then people used government approved gold coins

-Then people used government approved fiat currency backed by gold

-Then people used government approved fiat currency backed by nothing

-> Now comes the fancy technology

-Then people don't even use paper anymore they use credit cards, essentially moving numbers around in files or computers

-Then people don't even use credit cards anymore they use accounts like PayPal

...but all of these are fundamentally transferring around fiat USD currency

Well the next iteration is for them to skip fiat and transfer around digital currency so no governments control you at all. Cryptocurrencies are truly global currencies, the only ones that will ever matter. There have been proposals in the past to introduce global fiat currencies, but that's an age long gone - it's too late for anyone to bother with anything but cryptocurrencies

They are decentralized, non-censorable (just make a new wallet, buy crypto in person, then use Tor), deflationary (fixed supply = rising in price over time, the opposite of fiat)

The list of benefits goes on and on. It's a foregone conclusion that cryprocurrencies are the future, it's only a matter of time. The technology is not yet mature but once someone makes a venmo-like app that the normies can use to easily utilize crypto, it's game over for every other system, period

I'd been working on the startup full-time for 2-3 years. Software is complete, tested and documented. Design is robust enough that I hardly ever get support calls or emails. So rather than watch daytime TV I thought I'd go back to a full time job for 6-12 months. I could live off what the business brings in but would rather earn some extra $$$.

It's been a very positive experience - working on a different set of financial issues is feeding back into future enhancements for the system. Will probably go back to support/R&D when we get some more sales.

It's using nginx for routing :)
nodejs is just an API to populate nginx configuration, creating new apps and other admin operations. When a request comes in for your app, the nodejs part is completely out of the equation. You can potentially kill the nodejs part and your cluster still work. You just won't be able to deploy apps, and make modifications.

Good point though! I never thought it will be preceived that way.
Which is utterly insane, because faxes aren't encrypted. All anyone would have to do is tap into the phone line and copy the signals and they could print out any fax that was sent over the wire.
Good questions! For the first: I'm fortunate enough to be regarded as a guru in my field. 9-5 are promised to my employers, the rest of the time is available for the startup. For the second: we have a robust product but sales cycles in my industry are measured in years.

Are you saying proponents of quackery might misread somebody's home ultrasound or give misleading advice on how to read it? That doesn't sound any worse than what could happen with thermometers, stethoscopes, blood pressure meters, athlete wristbands, and inspecting the color of phlegm, poo, urine, skin, etc. Nobody would want to hide those things from people for their own safety.

Right, and Mirimir has no credit cards :(

However, a EZPass-like token funded with cards, cryptocurrencies, money in the mail, etc. That would be cool.
The main pain point for me in that domain currently is the wrong results that backtrace() gives when optimizations are enabled.

I noticed that clang seems to be better at generating correct infos in such modes.

Otherwise I use GDB in "batch mode" to get a callstack triggered by raise(SIGTRAP):

> gdb -quiet --batch -ex run -ex backtrace --args $binary $@
Wait, what? I really want to see some links or papers about that. Care to share?
@davycro just said "it’s a tough skill to learn without a solid background in anatomy". If you have your home ultrasound and cannot accurately locate / track your baby, you may identify the wrong thing, and worry "it's not moving!"

Our first child came very late, and in those last weeks we downloaded a "baby heart monitor" on our iphone - it simply used the microphone with some isolation / amplification. We pressed the microphone end of the phone into the abdomen wall, and when it works we heard an amplified heartbeat out the speakers - very reassuring. But when it didn't work - when we couldn't find the heartbeat - we worried. Is it a false negative? Or should we rush to the hospital?

Easily fixable phones and laptops.

My phones and laptops are small enough and lightweight enough.

Making them bulletproof is too expensive. But making them easier to fix, documenting the process and authorizing repair shops would do be great.

PS: I don't need to be able to hot-swap parts.

PPS: pro models from Dell and HP at least are often quite easy to disassemble and fix and I think you can often source parts from eBay for years after you buy them.
For that WebGL needs to be able to offer the same feature set as native 3D APIs, which will never happen due to security and the new direction of graphics programming.

It only a suitable replacement for those not requiring more than what OpenGL ES 3.0 offers.

I have an idea and a prototype - there’s interesting capital gain tax discount laws in UK and Australia and for investors who buy and sell shares there is always a way to minimise their gains but it’s not straightforward for accountants to calculate it matching the buying and selling transactions if there are many of them for the same stock. The target market is DYI investors and tax accountants. I don’t have the time or capital to keep it going, but I have used the prototype to save myself thousands in taxes and have talked about it to a couple of accountants and let another investor use it with some promise. Feel free to take the idea. If you want an explanation just leave me an email address.
Pretty insane to think about, especially since most people responding to captchas are really just training a model. Perhaps by now the model is pretty close to optimized as good as it can wit the current inputs.
>debts by a creditor

It's clearly not all debts. I actually can't think of any debts this applies to. Your student loan, credit card, auto loan, home loan, water bill, power bill, heck even rent if you're in a modern corporately owned complex... would never under any circumstances accept cash payment. It would be stunning if one even provided an address that isn't a PO box, let alone an address where you could get in the front door if you showed up in person, assuming you were willing to travel a few thousand miles.

At most there might be something like a retail bank branch where you could deposit cash and then request an electronic transmission of the same amount of money.
Wise of you to bring that up, but I feel you might be overplaying the slight. It's a direct quote from a book, so I'd be more angry at the author in this case. Still, good thing to point out.

Education.

Help improve your public school system. Help teach teachers. Teach other people, yourselves -- start with your neighbour's kids, neighbourhood schools, nearby orphanages and children's remand homes. Help scale great initiatives that don't have the brand pull of Khan Academy and the ilk. Fund scholarships, if nothing else.

It will be a drop in the ocean, but an extremely high-leverage one, IMHO.

And one that leaves a legacy. I'm sure many noble people will be willing to write large cheques for legacy-creating initiatives.

OR,

Resurrect something that died an untimely death.

(edit) OR, Help turn around good businesses teetering on the edge.

Many companies and business models died ~15 years ago, in the dot-com bust, only to become wildly successful in the last 5 years.

I bet many otherwise-reasonable businesses died for dumb reasons, in the recent 5 years (like forgetting to be frugal).

If we believe that the market turnover cycle has accelerated; which businesses died before their time, and could be resurrected over the next 5-7 years (about the time to make a business viable)?

Not only that, but by now I've figured out that the comment sections of most sites are toxic with little, if any, moderation. HN has a good moderation set-up, respectful members, etc. I try to avoid even reading the comments of other websites since they just end up being depressing.
I am talking about a domain model of the problem under consideration. That model is the same thing from analysis/design to code. It is independent of technical concerns and plumbing. Independent of a particular interface or mechanism for persistence. I'm talking about using standard programming language features, rather than yet another (diagrammatic) language that requires translation to executable code.

Those technical concerns are dependent on the non-functional requirements of the particular required solution. This includes aspects of concurrency.

I suspect your interested in a "framework" that supports both problem domain modeling and specific technical circumstances?
During your undergrad you learn so much "classic" economics you start to believe its true. Then in your graduate education in economics you learn that this is basically all bullshit.

Then, you look outside the windows and none of it makes any sense. Some economics, or rather, basic mathematics is nice to have. But startups are counterintuitive, and hence the only economics you need to know are the economics of scale.
Wow this is pretty impressive! Python everywhere is a big advantage and the way the frontend, backend and database are integrated appears quite seamless.

My question is about scaling - what are some large apps on this platform and how big do you think these apps can get in terms of db size and qps?

I disagree - reddit has a downvote button and it has zero Impact on the outcome.

This isn’t Facebook making this happen.

This is human beings being human beings in an alien environment exposing the difference between their stated preferences and unstated preferences.

It happened with forums, it likely happened with geocities.

You don’t need a like or dislike button, you just need the internet and text.

Anti Semitic forums were attacking Jewish forums before Facebook even showed up.

Facebook is just absorbing the entire internet in that all the “forums” are now just groups on Facebook. So it owns all the ad revenue everywhere - as long as people stay on Facebook.

But there’s no special incentive for divisiveness - that’s just what happens when people interact in a feature deficient, always on, text first, persistent environment.

> 2. Use a connection pooler ...

I had my jaw dropped on that point -- they didn't use connection pooling? WTF? I'm seeing connection pools on pretty much any project I've worked on, even under 1/req/day load, it's pretty much "must have" since 90s. And it's really just a library (like dbcp2) and a few lines of config, with almost no drawbacks.

I cannot believe engineers at GitLab level are so bad at, well, engineering. I'm losing faith in their produce, please show me that I'm wrong.

Take a breath and relax. No one is oppressing you. I simply ask that you adhere to this community's guidelines and use a civil tone.
Being pedantic; the fluctuation is what’s crazy, if they started at $6k it’d be no problem because you’d just think in terms of thousandths of BTC (or even satoshis) instead of whole coins.
> Also, Ethereum is in a quagmire regarding scaling.

"Quagmire" is a bit provocative, but yes scaling is a serious problem that needs to be solved.

> In fact, I do believe it's cheaper to spend bitcoin now than it is ether ($0.25 in gas per transaction).

This is no longer true. Since the recent fork/upgrade, it's been consistently cheap. Specifically, an ether transfer with an $0.001 fee rarely takes more than a few minutes to confirm.
Reddit is a different beast. It is confined to a sub-reddit and the people who judge it are the people who are part of that sub-reddit. Mods included.

Also, reddit doesn't spread the content if there is any uptick. It is all pretty confined. Facebook does the exact reverse. It goes out of its way to spread the content that is driving engagement.

"Compared with non-cannabis users, the daily use of high-potency, skunk-like cannabis is associated with a fivefold increase in the odds of someone developing psychosis."
