> Another point worth considering is this: why do we charge anything for using the subway? It unfairly hurts low-income workers.

i don't disagree with your larger point about the benefits of incentivising alternative forms of transportation, but im not sure i can agree that it is "unfair" to charge low income workers literally any amount of money to ride the subway. when you look at the operating expenses vs. fare revenue for the subway, its already subsidized by the city and state at something like 50%. the fact that you can ride on the subway for the current price already represents a substantial transfer from wealthier citizens who pay more taxes.

i think there is certainly room for debate as to what exactly the price should be, and there may be other compelling reasons why it benefits everyone to make it free; i just find it absurd to argue that making such an expensive service anything other than free is unfair.
There's also a huge number of people (myself included) who can afford (and do afford) to buy expensive quality stuff.

I don't hold it against science and bio-tech for bringing high yield and disease resistant crops to market; that shit will help us feed the whole planet economically. Doesn't mean I can't also enjoy organic, non-altered food in my own home. I get annoyed with this attitude so many people have about these things, that somehow we can either feed the whole planet economically or have ritzy well-to-do people buy organic kale. We can do both very easily.
I’m looking for the same answer. I expect you are right, as the MS article linked does talk about some Hyper-V capabilities leveraged by LinuxKit (even though MobyLinux is no longer running as a HyperV VM).
Same here. I too managed to recall all words in the correct order using the same technique.

For me, as a young adult, the most important part of growing up has been learning to not engage in bike shedding. It is hard not to bike shed. When design questions come up, and I see one thing as being WRONG, it is really hard not to become myopic about it. But this is a great example of how bike shedding can be harmful.

There was plenty of propaganda targeted at pro-trump pro-neutrality types designed to make them confused about where Trump and Obama stood on the issue. A common talking point I saw was that Tom Wheeler had secretly been anti-neutrality.
>When people vote for president, they vote for a bundle of positions on thousands of issues. Some issues are never discussed in any debate or media at all and presidents have as far as the public is concerned roughly zero position on them (for example, NN).

I don’t disagree with you on this at all, but again I think it boils down to ‘elections have consequences’. I don’t think that just because an issue was judged not as critical by voters (and therefore given relatively short shrift) means the interpretation is any less valid. That’s the function of the powerful executive branch made around the time of the new deal-ww2 era reforms, to manage complex federal issues. Just because I disagree with the decision and think most other Americans do as well doesn’t mean I think the president shouldn’t have the ability to make politically unpopular decisions.

Not exactly the best comparison. Obviously you would pick the shares since they are less volatile -- if they could magically appear in your brokerage account.

However, say I had a net worth of $50m, then I'm quite certain I would rather own $5m in Bitcoin or Ethereum today than own $5m in Visa shares.

To bad people have become political cheerleaders that care more about their party and ego then the country or holding their own party accountable.

Republican and Democrat political cheerleaders is a big reason we have lost our gov't along with people being to stupid to focus on the REAL issue versus distractions such as healthcare,welfare ,taxes,racism,sexism,sexuality,religion,heck even net neutrality.

The only issue we should be talking about is
1. term limits in congress.
2. Closing revolving doors.
3. Reforming lobbying
4. Reforming fund raising.
5. Real transparency.

you cant expect a bunch of people with conflict of interest to do the right thing for anyone but themselves.
Why I leave a job
This doesn't match my experience at all.

For starters, as others have said: If you're taking it as a "smart drug" rather than for narcolepsy or to deal with shifts why in the world would you take the full 200mg on an ongoing basis? I've seen nobody recommend that.

Blaming Modafinil for weight gain and problems sleeping also seems very odd to me, though it may have some truth to it:

If you take these drugs and sleep less as a result, chances are you'll face weight gain, because in my experience at least, like caffeine, modafinil does not remove your tiredness over the long term - it just lets you power through it. Even more so for modafinil than caffeine, as caffeine at least makes you feel awake for a while, while my experience with modafinil is that it just lets you stay awake while still feeling the effects.

And for met at least, if I stay awake for protracted period of time , I do tend to eat more, and especially when tired.

But as for problems sleeping, it's a bit of a combination of "well duh" and "really?" On one hand modafinil certainly lets you stay awake. On the other hand one of the things that sets modafinil strongly apart from caffeine is that you can generally go to sleep on modafinil a lot easier (though some people report it affects their dreams and I believe I've experienced some of that).

Making you happy? I've never seen anyone claim modafinil makes you happy. It's not that kind of drug. Maybe some people feel happy as a side effect. I've never experienced anything like it. To me a lot of his description makes it sound as if he's used another drug entirely.

The withdrawal description as well seems odd to me. But then again I take modafinil on and off, so maybe you need to be on higher doses for a protracted amount of time to experience them. Overall, though, withdrawal from modafinil is overall far weaker than from equivalent use of caffeine (which can get truly nasty on high doses; including cold sweats, diarrhea, headaches, fevers etc. that can persist for a week or more).

The description of "blunting" you etc. is fair enough. This isn't a drug you take to be creative. It's a drug you take to maintain focus. And hence it's not a drug to take the way the article writer took it: persistent and over time.

But I guess the article writer will think this is "stealth advertising" (how I wish people were paying me for the time I spend on HN; I spend way too much time here). To me throwing in that kind of thing makes me think it was included only to get attention.
How are you supposed to do a real refactor then?
When someone says "no one buys anything", deflation proponents always twist that as if it's meant literally. The economy doesn't halt when there is a deflation. It just slows down, people buy less, then, because of the low sales, companies lay off employees, so people buy even less...and so on.
The fact that major donors are more important than democracy is not widely acknowledged.

> Community recognition and extended network, better chances of hiring, or attribution from projects

This has been the case since day 1. It is a great motivation for people to get into open source, but there gets to be a point where this is no longer a motivation. As their projects become more and more popular, they are having to work nights and weekends to keep the project alive and maintained.

> May be open source development is just fine with corporate sponsorship + people doing it in their free time

Again, this is how it’s always been. Most open source projects do not look for corporate sponsorship because they don’t know where to start. Working in free time is great until it isn’t.

> Maybe developers are repelled by ads...

This is true. Some are repelled. But ask yourselves if the Code Sponsor banner looks like an ad? It was crafted in a way to look enough like the documentation to not distract developers from the README, but different enough to not be considered deceiving.

> Maybe charity and donations work better

Ask Kent C. Dodds this question. He had the charity buttons on every one of his repos and he received $0 in donations. Scalable funding cannot come from charity, it has to come from marketing funds.

I would say more correctly the Republican Party was the one chosen by the lobbyist to take the heat for this anti consumer action.

In reality when the democrats get back control Net Neutrality will unlikely be brought back. Just like the Republicans did with Obmacare. They labeled it the anti-christ of all regulations then they get full control and they do nothing.

The DNC and the GOP are just tools of the lobbyist to keep the people distracted , separated, and appeased to think they still have a voice.

Cinnamon's increased effect on metabolism
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.

We are talking about HPC computing and how Linux being the only viable choice leads to stagnation.

You are proposing those OSes advance the status quo (and I agree) but how is it that HPC computing is stagnated because Linux is the only viable option? If anything, HPC would be an awesome testbed for those experimental OSes and they still choose Linux.

Where's HPC stagnated because awesome ideas from other OSes can't be used?

Finally, are these other ideas so extremely awesome that they require a new OS from scratch (with all the uphill battle that it's to create it)? Can they be implemented on top of the Linux kernel? In which case, is Linux's success really such a bad thing?

Actually, it isn't. The Fed was created as an end run around the Constitution. The Constitution does not grant this power because of the experience with the Continental Congress and their profligacy at printing money.

I've witnessed the unfortunate consequences when each of these rules were violated.

I've seen kludgy code when Rules 1 and 2 are violated for instance.

Employing Fancy algorithms to look good among peers, leaving behind buggy and maintainable code.

Rule 5 violation is deceptive. Often one can get it right with right understanding of business use-case.

The worst part is not the violation of these rules but the developer's chest-thumping with pride for writing seemingly intelligent code :-/

If you think the previous administration was "better", you probably haven't read Thomas Frank's book, "Listen, Liberal!". Thomas Frank is a lifelong Democrat and an actual liberal.

It illustrates how US politics were hijacked, and the horrible policies of the administrations since Bill Clintons inauguration. If you are someone who thinks Obama or Clinton were "good" presidents, the book will dispell you of that notion.

I'm not saying the things you enumerated are bad things.

Personally, I am fiercly pro-NN, and I think Pai should actually be imprisoned (though there's probably no current law that would allow it, obviously IANAL), and the CFPB is something the US has lacked for ages (though I'm not sure if it has enough powers to enforce anything much).

But I am saying that the previous administration was actually not better, all things considered. And if you think so, the book will convince you otherwise.

Oh for Christ's sake, pedantry is even more annoying _when it's not even correct_. Just Google the definition of "democracy" before the next time you think it's a good idea to interject this trite, useless comment. Here, I'll get you started:

"""
noun

- a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

- a state governed by a democracy.

- control of an organization or group by the majority of its members.
"""

The term you're thinking of is "direct democracy".
Maybe we need something better than Git where a refactor of one variable does not give a crap on the entire repository but rather is listed as a single "change".
All too often we focus on performance as the main problem we're trying to solve, when, in reality, our chief problem is managing complexity.

A clever algorithm can often dramatically improve performance, but usually clever algorithms are difficult to understand and their unmaintainability leads them to be abandoned as a project evolves, or, worse, subtly break when assumptions no longer hold. (Its especially hard when working with other developers)

The only example that was coming immediately to mind was a distributed lock. Once you have that primitive available your distributed systems problem can be substantially simpler to implement. Without it writing race-free code is going to be really tricky.

You'll probably naturally gravitate to a niche whether it's projects in a framework you are familiar with or 'developing and scaling marketplaces' that you mentioned.

You'll tend to move toward doing what projects pay the best and come find you.

I would create a personal website and start blogging about the technical aspect and the scaling you do.

I know most people say make one site that is your personal brand. But I always feel like you would create two sites a technical expertise site and a scaling site. But it's probably better to create a personal site and start posting regularly there.

This could lead to technical projects and scaling projects from people finding your articles.

Start building up an email list from the start, maybe one for technical/framework tips/articles and one for scaling.

Once you start building up a reputation as an expert in each of these, engagements will find you and you can market ebooks and courses in each to your list.

Being a freelancer/consultant I would recommend creating products/SaaS that generate recurring revenue so you are not so dependent on finding new project work.

Make it part of your long term plan.
I counted 20 in the body of the README's Render function. I count it as one line if the block is a single line that uses a simple test to execute conditionally (for/if).

No, I simply bounded what ISP's can do.

An ISP can leach off of internet traffic by shaping it so say Netflix is limited to low quality. But, that doesn't not mean they can simply block it without getting into issues. The problem is as demonstrated by China simply degrading websites bandwidth is is massive leverage.
I have found this to be true as well. The first thing I do whenever reviewing an open source project is to examine the database schema. I can usually figure out what the code does and how it works by looking at the tables and the relationships between them.
I'd argue that (1) manpages are for humans to read, and (2) there is effectively only one presentation style for the conveying the semantic contents. So as long as the author of the manpage follows the standard conventions for manpage presentation style, they are in fact expressing the semantics. And it's a lot easier to learn the conventions (flags in bold, arguments in italics, etc.) and write them in lightweight markup than it is to learn roff.
Hyper-V virtualization requirements are removed with this update. It does rely on Hyper-V isolation, which appears to have more in common with Linux namespaces than virtualization.

Virtualization isn’t completely off the table. The article mentions a minimal, LinuxKit-based hypervisor. I may be off, but I’m imagining something more akin to what’s happening on macOS via HyperKit.

Pointless comparison:

Cryptocurrencies aren't very useful if you own the entire supply.

More interesting would be "if you have $X to invest, at what value of X does it become preferable to buy Visa shares instead of cryptocurrency?"

On one hand I love these and consider them good advice. On the ther they’re often used as a weak crutch for poor programming practices, usually by developers who believe any amount of money spent on infrastructure is worth it to avoid the catastrophic consequences of maybe thinking about performance in their code. They’re certain they never want to optimize too early, and they’re certain that every day is too early.

Visa is a company and produces profit from people using it, and the people using it don't need to be shareholders, so if you're the only shareholder, you're not reducing the utility for anyone else.

If you own all of the cryptocurrency in the world, nobody else can use it. Obviously it becomes worthless. The same would be true of any currency. That's just a small part of what makes a currency different to a company.

I really wish people would stop using the "he/she won/lost by 3 million popularity votes" line. Something I don't think people realize: 3 million people isn't that many.

Considering there are ~325M American citizens, ~231M are eligible to vote, with ~63M and ~66M actual votes going to the Donald and Hilldog respectfully, the margin between the two runners is pretty small. The Donald collected 27.2% of eligible votes, and Hilldog collected 28.5%. At best, Hillary won popular vote by less than two percent of the available votes, which even though it's a victory, it's still very very close.

Housing prices would rise even if money wasn't being printed. Because when I buy a house, the money doesn't disappear, it goes to the seller.

Imagine there was only one bank, we'll call it Banky Mc Investment Inc. or BMI.

Fred wants to buy a house. That house "costs" $1 trillion dollars. Bob owns the house and decides to sell.

Fred goes to BMI and says, "can I have a loan for $1 trillion?" BMI says "sure thing Fred" and BMI transfers "$1 trillion" to Bob's account. BMI then goes to Bob, and says "hey Bob, it looks like you've got a lot of cash in your account. Would you like to invest it in the BMI morgage investment pool, ultra low risk, backed by valuable real-estate? Bob says "sure thing!" and BMI's books balance. Sure, Fred now has a lot of debt, but there is no reason why this couldn't happen, even with a "limited money supply".
