> I am a single person, a typical guy, no girlfriend, no night life, spend most of my time on my laptop hacking around. And most of the time, all I need is food and bed. Considering all of that, in a salary of 5000 Euros per month, how much could I save per month after my food and rent expenditures?

I'm mostly the same, and live in a medium-sized city near Berlin (Dresden). For your reference, my monthly costs are around 1200 € per month, breaking down as follows (all numbers monthly):

- rent and utilities: 420€ (for a 50 sqm apartment)

- internet: 40€ (100 Mib/s, including landline)

- TV: 25€ (most of it is the mandatory fee for public broadcasting)

- cellphone: 10€ (1 GiB monthly allowance)

- voluntary insurances: 80€ (mostly disability insurance; not including health and unemployment insurance since those are deducted from the salary before I get the payout)

- public transit pass: 50€ (valid for all modes of public transport across the entire town; I don't own a car)

- food: 300€ (I could cut a good third of that if I pre-cooked my lunch at home instead of going to restaurants for lunch with my colleagues)

The rest is small stuff (homewares, drugstore items, medicine), entertainment expenses (cinema ticket, train ticket to a hiking spot, etc.), and a monthly donation of 100 € to my local hackerspace. If I had to, I could cut the donation and the expensive lunches and go down to ~1000€ per month immediately.

But that's Dresden, not Berlin. The rent is bound to be much higher in Berlin (at least per sqm; you might find something under 500€ if you really compromise on space, but actual Berliners can tell you more about this line item than I can). Also, public transit is more expensive in Berlin because of the larger tariff zones. AFAIK, a month pass for Berlin public transit would set you back around 100€. The other expenses should be nearly identical. My educated guess for cost of living in Berlin at my standard (which presumably is somewhere around yours) is 1500€ per month.

Maybe add another 100€ for evening classes in German language, which I would definitely recommend if you're staying longer than a few months.
Pretty much the same pain point that I experience.

Thanks for your feedback :)
Show HN: Training a Neural Network Using WebAssembly
I pull off this sort of stuff (very few slides or talk sheet with a few bullet points) nowadays after a decade of corporate managerial life. It essentially requires you to be ultra clear in your mind about message and narrative and to develop an ability to communicate simply. It's very difficult to pull off without much practice especially early in your career - so don't feel bad.
That to an extent, and also the fact that _real_ artificial intelligence - the kind that you could share exactly where you're up to with programming and it could tell you exactly what site to read next - that doesn't exist yet.

I once read that Google indexes 0.5% of everything publicly known.
All those places have taxes. Low taxes, but they have them.

What you don't seem to understand is that I am not arguing against taxes themselves. Or even high taxes. Of course I would pay lots of money to partake in civilized society and its services.

What I want is free market competition for how my taxes are spent and those services received. Because with the current monopoly the government has no reason to improve in any way and instead it takes my taxes and uses them as they see fit - mostly to ensure their reelection.

It takes tremendous amounts of money and gives me horrid services. And they have the gall to tell me that this is the only way and I don't need or deserve any other choice! That, in my book, is stealing.

Imagine please that there was a smartphone tax. You'd pay a certain amount a year and you'd get a single, government issued smartphone. Compare that with the current free-market solution. Which one is better, which one would you prefer?

Now apply that thinking to all other government services. That is my whole point.

Unless you're going away for two weeks or more, cabin luggage really should be all you need. Pack smart and pack light, think long and hard about which clothes you're actually going to need. If you're bringing bulky items of clothing (such as hiking boots), wear them on the plane. Don't bring a bunch of extra stuff "just in case", odds are you'll be able to buy whatever it is at your destination.

Most airlines allow 55x40x20cm(-ish) size cabin luggage, plus a so-called personal item, which can be as big as 40x30x15cm on some airlines, or described as a purse, a handbag or a slim laptop bag. Sometimes the weight is included in the cabin luggage allowance, sometimes it's not, so you have to check the terms for each airline. This will let you bring a bit of extra luggage, or at least make sure your laptop isn't taking up a bunch of space in your cabin luggage.

This may seem like a bunch of needless extra work when packing, for saving a small fee, but it also means you won't have to waste time at the luggage carousel, and it will be much less hassle if you have to go by taxi or public transport. And of course your luggage won't be at the mercy of underpaid and possibly careless luggage workers.

Pack smart, avoid fees and hassle.
I don’t disagree on principle, but a highly-configured Emacs can easily reach levels of integration that I think is worthy of the “Integrated Development Environment” label. For vim, I suspect it’s more like “as close to IDE level as a dedicated vim user is likely to want”. (Fwiw, I use Emacs a lot, vim a little, and my hardcore IDE usage is several years back, so maybe that’s just my biases showing.)
Would you say the same thing about the collaborative editing features in Docs?

> If there's one thing I don't need, it's other users editing my prose behind my back.

To me, this sounds like a fantastic teaching tool, a fantastic pairing tool, a fantastic interview tool, and a cool way to collaborate on scripts where Git would have too much friction.

I think this sort of tool can even scale up to projects larger than a single file — I’ve used Floobits (https://floobits.com/) to co-op edit whole Django webapps in Intellij. It’s super fluid and productive to use co-editing tools to very quickly collaborate on new feature build-outs, either pairing together on a single file or splitting work between Frontend and backend concerns.
I don't want privacy to be a parameter that companies compete on, I want to government to enforce something sane that all the companies will then have to follow. Imagine if there were '50% less lead than our competitors' labels on food products.
Do they run their own crawling server or do they "repack" search request to google like DDG, Startpage or ixquick?

If they do it from scratch, kudos.

Yes. The EIB "loaned" them 25 million Euro:

uid-owner hasn't worked properly for a long time. gid-owner does but oftenbreaks for apps such as KDE programs which hand-off to kioslaves for networking.

Network namespaces are much cleaner and can be created and destroyed without risk to other networking rules.
DGG has about as much red on it as Hacker News: is it such a heavy use of color? At least on desktop in Safari, the site is pretty 'white', and I'm surprised you get literal physical anxiety.
Another positive (unintended) consequence of needing NAT everywhere is that it means most devices end up behind some sort of firewall by default.
Privacy loving European here.

I want to like it, but it gives off a bad vibe.

First of all it's too loaded and it doesn't seem to work at all without Javascript enabled. Give me a text field, I don't care about the news.

Second, no easy way to add it in my Firefox search engine list. This is really something obvious they should fix, come on.

Third, they want you to install an extension that will indeed set qwant as default search engine, but also seems to try to shove down your throat some sort of bookmark and "board" (their own thing, pinterest like?) management which requires login to their service.

http://img.nux.ro/q9M-Menu_292.png

IMHO it doesn't really live up to the expectations and it seems more like a social media experiment attempt.

If we forego the whole privacy thing which I think they are only using for marketing here, then the search results don't seem too bad (in my 2 minutes of testing) and the boards thing is interesting, but nah.
Out of curiosity, if anyone knows here, how was the Jeff Deans coding? is it true that he is very fast at coding and building systems? How do you compare him with others?
I agree with you about the house always winning, and I also don't gamble, however you can consider the activity as a game like an arcade game where the actual playing and spending time costs money, and has value in its own right. I guess the economics is slightly more nuanced, just how you can find addictive computer games which also cost like world of Warcraft I guess
Just to clarify, since I misread your quote and think others might as well:

> "The replacement Kerl hash function is unmodified KECCAK-384 that only converts its input and output from/to 243 trits to 48 bytes using basic two’s complement. KECCAK-384 is well vetted and researched."

"Replacement" really does mean replacement, i.e. what they substituted in after the researchers successfully attacked their original hash function. (The new one is called "Kerl" and the old one is called "Curl", which seems confusing.)

I'm not sure how asserting that the replacement is well-researched addresses the OP's point that their history of (a) rolling their own hash function, and (b) not adequately considering differential cryptanalysis, is a red flag. True, that specific vulnerability can now be considered fixed, which might not be clear from the OP's post - but it's still evidence of incompetence, which doesn't bode well for the quality of the rest of their design.
One risk mitigation for that is to sandbox the browser with something like firejail and whitelist access to only the profile directory and /tmp
And what exactly is it that you're getting from an IDE?

You get refactoring, jump to def, auto completion, linting, code snippets, documentation, depending on the languages you use. For Java there are more lightweight alternatives which lack refactoring features that IntelliJ has, but there has been eclim for ages. But that's using eclipse in the background you say? Well, at some point you're bound to use a language native component to use reflection.

What about Omnisharp? How was Monosharp an IDE and vim with Omnisharp integration, which was based on the same components wasn't?

I feel like the discussion has degraded to peoples perceptions of what an IDE should be. And for most people that perception is: "It should look like IntelliJ" or "It should look like Visual Studio".

Maybe what you really mean is:

It should have refactoring.

It should have auto completion.

It should do performance instrumentation.

It should allow debugger integration.

And then there's the question of how far each feature has to be integrated. For most IDEs performance instrumentation is really just a seperate tool that you can launch form the IDEs toolbar.
I don't think that's supported by what he wrote - he said its tricky, not invalid.

The problem I see is how to buy into the idea people who doesn't interact with different time zones at all (and probably that's most people)? It doesn't add them any value and transition would just provide additional hurdle. So where is value for them, how to buy them in?
Yes. Upvoting and downvoting are the brokenness; users are just interacting with the UI model they're presented with. Better low-effort, high-reward consensus systems are needed.

I've actually changed the topcolor to #222222 in my settings so I don't see what my account's karma is. It completely ruins the ability to see the "new" "threads" etc links without a truly irritating amount of eyestrain but it's worth it - I recently asked genuine question about something I wanted clarification on and the comment ended up being downvoted to -4. Now I can't see my karma score I don't care about this, whereas before when my karma was shown on almost every single page throughout the site I'd obsess over making my comments universally good.
Really, I remember plenty of sites in the 90s that would change the colour of your scroll bar and override your right click to tell you how everything is copyrighted.
Parodied very effectively in Snow Crash (1992), where one of the characters has to spend exactly the right amount of time reading a document. Too much would be deemed slacking; too little would be inattentiveness.
For some reason, the article reads like a high school writing assignment that required a minimum number of words. It reads like a puff piece. I can't figure out why.

The FUD against EOS is really strong. It is interesting that despite the FUD, its valuation is very big too. The FUD is mostly about the business behind EOS, as a technical project is solid C++ code with well thought out architecture. In fact this is the kind of project where as I got deeper into it I believe that it can work. In case of most other projects when I dig deeper, I become more and more sceptic. The reason is probably that the CTO makes this project based on his experiences in Bitshares and Steemit, so the decisions in EOS are relatively mature compared to most crypto projects. Also I find the CTO one of the most talented and most practical developer/architect in the space. (Maybe I am biased as I am a performance optimization geek, and EOS is mostly about high performance) With EOS I regret one thing: that its valuation is so high already. I still invested into it, but I would have invested much more if its valuation would be lower.

TLDR: as an investment, it is not my biggest investment, but as a technology it is my favourite in the crypto space.
> Would you say the same thing about the collaborative editing features in Docs?

Yes, a simple "sync" button that pulls in the updates and merges the differences (like git) would do for me, and in fact would cause much less confusion than somebody editing behind my back.

Unfortunately (according to Wikipedia) like DuckDuckGo, also Qwant is mainly a meta search engine, meaning the are using Bing & Yandex and have only a small scale own web crawler. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant#Criticism

I tried very hard to get used to Vim. I just feel compared to something like Visual Studio Code it's still very clunky.

I can understand why people who have used it for a decade prefer Vim over other text editors. They already know how to use it and how to integrate it into their workflow. For a newcomer this task, it seems, is nigh insurmountable.

Are there people who recently got into it and think it's the superior way to code and why?

For me, it was a lot of wasted time trying to learn Vim and finding out that other editors that I already use are as good or better.
IPv6 address space is so huge that every internal Internet-connected host should receive discrete internal and external prefixes, the latter associated with your AS and the former unannounced and with no global routing.

Internal servers, routers etc don't receive the external prefix and so can't be enumerated from the Internet.
I have yet to be on a flight where there wasn't enough space for all cabin luggage, either overhead or under the seat in front.

I refuse to check any luggage, unless absolutely necessary, and my cabin bag is within regulation size for all the airlines I've checked.
What are the different use cases for creating Timelines?
Hi Everybody,

Where all do you think timelines are really helpful in your daily life ?

Is there a way I can create timelines for myself instead of sharing on facebook or to explain a specific topic to people through narratives.
Then perhaps this isn't for you? Collaboration tools such as these are fantastic for some teams and use cases.

You can monetize from distributed systems; and I think this will happen more often with Blockchain, render farms and things like that.

This. As much as I love the idea of decentralization, I can't see it getting much traction because of this.

Gorilla Glass is one of those rare product features that is so much better than the alternatives it's like magic. It's not strictly indestructible if you drop it, but you can just chuck it in a bag with your keys and not worry about it. Unlike polycarbonate.

Plastic-bodied laptops flex a bit more than metal ones. If you've got a large one and you regularly pick it up from one side the flexing can gradually crack the PCB. I agree that aluminium scratches up rather badly.

(Handily the Dow Corning website will list products using it, so you can avoid worrying about whether the vendor is using an imitation toughened glass)

When I used to throw tons of money at the things, what amazed and impressed my friends wasn't that I would regularly win money - I wouldn't, and I was always up front about how much I was pissing away - but just that I understood what the hell was going on.

No, this isn't going to work like that; these girls have had incredible levels of plasticity in their brains to be able to accommodate each other's functions in ways that are difficult for anyone but them to comprehend.

Take for example the case of people who have never seen from birth and are given sight through retinal implants; they can see colours and images and patterns but their brains can make no sense of the input - they sense no depth, shapes, relations between words and images, shadows meaning three dimensionality, etc. etc. that we all take for granted. Those neurones have been put to alternative use already and in some ways you really can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Interesting! Last time I used the service, about 3-4 months ago, the search results page was awash in red. Now it seems that the style has been much improved to the point of usability. I don't get anxiety like before. FWIW I was/am using Firefox on both Fedora and Windows.

How long has DDG had its current look for you?
Point taken, but your ISP cannot middleman a connection between you and a hidden service given a proper configuration. Likewise, a VPN provider cannot theoretically see your encrypted TOR traffic, but there are many caveats to this and a feeling of real security is only deserved if you pay attention to your opsec and browsing habits.

For the average, uninformed user, I rest easier at night recommending a direct connection to TOR. One less party to worry about. Security by obscurity is more of an afterthought and shouldn't be relied upon. The relative I mentioned was using a pretty shoddy VPN that I won't name here, but I definitely don't trust them.

Of course, with a network as diverse as Tor, one user's threat model will vary significantly from another's. For example one might be chiefly worried about deanonymization while another might be more concerned with timing attacks. For some of these use cases, having a VPN layer is pretty reasonable, but for others, potentially detrimental.

I think it was more that forks just get ignored. Customers want to run PostgreSQL, not something almost but not quite like PostgreSQL maintained by a company that may or may not employ PostgreSQL core contributors. And we certainly don't want to talk to your sales team about why it is a better fit for our use case.

For curiosity, I just run a Dubai vs Berlin cost-of-living comparison in Numbeo and I think housing is the factor that makes Berlin cheaper than Dubai (about 50% less).

In my opinion, Berlin is a much better place (even with that weather) than Dubai except if you are Java engineer with interest in banking apps like Murex/Calypso/etc. If that's your case, stay in Dubai or switch to Singapore in the next 2-4 years. After that period, you can fly to whenever you like in Europe working in the bank and place you want.
Anyway, thanks @thelarkinn for great write up, it's just good success story to learn from. Keep rocking!

Certainly addictiveness is an issue for all gaming - I'm pretty sure Blizzard hired psychologists, and look at the increasing use of loot box mechanics, even in full-price console games.

That said, there's a kind of distilled evil in the slot machine case. There's no gameplay to hide behind, it's just insert money, win/don't win.
