How an Anti-Growth Mentality Helped Basecamp Grow to Over 2M Customers
If you're making that good already and working in tech, I doubt it will be hard for you to reach that target income. Keeping up with the latest technology, learning skills and delivering on projects has got me very far in my professional career, and I've worked with Senior Engineers who continue to do engineering and switch jobs (although perhaps less frequently since it means changing a lot of things).

I guess what I'm trying to say is: financially, you are likely to be OK, if you manage to have a spouse that will be a good partner and you both stay together while bringing up the kids (and that is a BIG IF). It get VERY dicey if you do split, in which case you have to pay for spousal and child support (I've seen this happen wayy too many times).

Which brings me to what has been my most important realization perhaps: be VERY VERY careful when you choose your spouse and how you combine your finances. I'm not saying that you spouse will be bad; but statistically it seems like there is a 50% chance that it won't work out, for whatever reason. This can ruin your finances. So spend some significant time and effort to try to make the right decision there. This is kinda hard when society emphasizes getting married and having kids ASAP.
That is precisely what I am going to do
I'm the project lead for Che and can confirm that Red Hat will be contributing changes that will allow Che to run on OpenShift, but it will also roll in most of the enterprise features that were previously only available in the proprietary licensed Codenvy product. https://www.eclipse.org/che/
Ok, that was a cheap shot, I agree.

I am, however, yet to see a single article talking about USD being quoted in bitcoin. Just like I do not see any articles of USD being quoted in Samsung TVs. I do see bitcoin being quoted in USD. I see USD being quoted in Euros and I see Euros being quoted in USD.

That's why Sansung TVs and BTCs are not currency while USD and Euros are. So BTC is asset. Assets in an non-liquid markets are prone to enormous bubbles.

Well...yeah. If you're out in public and your face is visible, you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Two of the books he mentions won the Pulitzer prize for non-fiction: "Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS" and "Evicted".

They are both excellent.
"linear types isn’t needed to ensure “some intermediate state must get consumed once and only once.”"

If you don't use linear types to ensure this, then you're probably not ensuring it, and it just comes down to "hopefully the programmer eyeballed it correctly and read the docs."
I don't know if this is still the case but Jet doesn't handle fulfillment for all of the items on their store. I've bought stuff on Jet that were shipped from over e-commerce web sites.

What You Need to Know About the Future of Bitcoin Technology
Thank you for sharing. Especially on a Monday
That was a pretty fun read. Discrete optimization is still a huge challenge that many companies still face today.

So...is it naive to think that I can create something similar with MiniZinc (or an equivalent package)? Or will it take too long to even get an answer without CUDA? This seems like a pretty fun weekend project!
This is so stupid and so inspiring. Thank you.

Destruction of value is not destruction of money. If I were to buy some extremely expensive memorabilia (a pristine copy of Abbey Road, signed by all of the Beatles) and burn it in my back yard, that wouldn't be destruction of money.

While BTC, ETH, XMR function like currencies and can be traded - they are not recognized as a currency in most places

I always find it interesting the big companies get the opportunity to make a deal. As a small business you would just go to jail probably. Certainly nobody would negotiate with you.
Okay, I love the idea. I see some typos and awkward phrasing that sounds like "Engrish" to me. It desperately needs a "start here" section and a better means to convey to people what this is about.

I have long wanted to do something in clothing, but I am very aware that bespoke clothing is simply out of reach, price-wise, for most people. My mother sews beautifully and trained with a tailor briefly in her teens. She sewed a lot of my clothes when I was growing up and I routinely stood for fittings. She also sewed a lot of clothes for my kids when they were little. I lived far away and took measurements periodically. In addition to knowing how to take measurements, I am handy with a seam ripper. But the kind of skill my mother has is beyond me.

So my long standing fantasy has been to do a line of mass customization clothing. My thought is this would potentially be a means to leverage technology to provide semi custom clothes at a fraction of the bespoke price.

I would love to see what this organization can do to lower the barriers between me and this daydream of mine. Because it has always seemed to be an aspiration completely out of reach for me. But I only have some vague idea of what they do thanks to one of the comments * here, not because of the information on the landing page of their site.

I find the setup to be a bit of a pain:

- Can't (easily?) use a Docker volume instead of mounting a directory from the host into the container

- No real auth out of the box(?) - I get why it works like it does, but I don't really want to set up KeyCloak for a single application only

- Doesn't seem to have Elixir support, but maybe I've not looked hard enough

Mainly just my own pickiness, I think.
Worked fine with Chrome+uBlock origin, but I did wonder why smithsonianmagazine.com requested permission to send me notifications.

I used to think this -- but then I heard the argument that if Apple was to behave "ethically" and pay the taxes that technically the law requires that they dont, then the shareholders can sue the company for not acting in their best interest.

Even if the above isn't true (not a lawyer) we cannot rely on ethics alone, it will have to be enforced by law, otherwise nobody will do it

This doesn't address the rest of your comment, but I have a theory about the presence of Vietnam War books on this list. Ken Burns and co. released their multi-part series on the Vietnam War this year: http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-vietnam-war/episodes/ That has likely contributed to an uptick in general interest in the subject.

Lack of completions outside of JS/PHP/CSS/HTML and linting outside of JS/CSS (both according to the website) is a non-starter for me.
Nowsta | Brooklyn, NY | Full-Stack Developer | ONSITE, FULL-TIME

https://www.nowsta.com/careers

Nowsta, on the surface, is a workforce management platform (scheduling, coordination, time tracking) for events companies, but ultimately we are most interested in changing the relationship between employers and their employees, particularly in the hourly wage / gig economy. We are bringing financial empowerment, job opportunities, and more to those who in general are underserved by their industries, and we've already made big strides with executing on these ideas.

We're a pretty small team but are growing quickly and looking for experienced developers to help build out the foundations of our dev team, so think lots of autonomy and leadership opportunity. Our stack is React / Rails back-end, but specific experience with those are not strictly necessary. Even though it's a startup, we're well funded and are offering competitive salaries.

Feel free to reach out to me directly at dan@nowsta.com with any interest or questions!

"The third problem of Haskell is the weird syntax, that doesn't follow the common C/Java/JS or Python syntaxes for no good reason"

Haskell came before Java, JS, and Python. Perhaps it's their fault for choosing C-like syntax instead of Haskell-like syntax.
It absolutely works in gnome-terminal on GNOME 3.26.
I'm glad it's immediately farcical because it should help people from not interpreting it as actual advice (even with as farcical as it is, I see many comments here that miss that point).

Anybody have any recommendations for how I can finally start get into, I don't even know what to call this - generalized IoT hardware hacking? Hobbyist hardware? Arduino/RasperryPi tooling? No idea, but it's on my list of 2018 goals to build some at least basic projects on these platforms.

(Ironically I do work at an IoT company, but our platform is a little more simplistic - plug in some component to one of the dev boards, then just write squirrel code. I want to learn the juicy stuff!)

It pays to be paranoid. I believe I'd be able to add exploitable bugs that would not be detected in most code reviews; there's a large library of techniques available from underhanded C competitions and similar.
Paper DNR is easier to fake than a tattoo DNR.
Humbly I disagree!

The labor of manufacture is perhaps why the fiat currency has value. This argument heads toward philosophy, but without the minting process (and its technological backbone), to some degree the dollar would be valueless cotton.

In nations where the fiat currency is printed on polymer, I feel that their fiat currency states something like, "Not only do we stand as the people of this nation and its currency, but our belief is such that we have printed the currency with a specialized ink on an advanced polymer."

Before you consider military or government or the world outlook, a belief like that is not worth nothing. That note has indeed been backed by something, and no way is it Monopoly money!
Yet, going to law school is a pre-requisite for becoming the vocation of a lawyer.

Arguably, "a school one must go to in order to practice a vocation" can be referred to as a "vocational school." I understand that vocational schools are often thought to be purely practical and not theoretical, but I think this definition does a disservice to the reality of entering certain vocations.

Two other issues I'm worried about with iOS:

- MAC address tracking (RTS packets thrwart MAC randomization[0], not immediately clear if WiFi is fully off[1])

- All-or-nothing access to photos on the phone (append-only for apps that request it)

Discord in particular is bad for the photo permission, as I don't trust China's Tencent with access to all the photos on my phone (which can include lots of frequent location information!), but pasting images doesn't work in the app.

I had assumed the "Photos" permission meant "permission to prompt this dialogue" and "permission to save to Camera Roll".

The US is still not over the civil war which was 150 years ago. Stuff like this takes a very long time. I am surprised how quickly Europe moved on from WW2 but I wouldn't be surprised if old resentments from that time would flare up again in the future.

> It's come a long way. I was aware of Codenvy years ago and recently became aware that they seem to have joined the Eclipse Che effort.

As I understand, Codenvy didn't “join” the Eclipse Che effort, Eclipse Che started with code that Codenvy extracted from their proprietary product and open sourced, and most of the Che developers were and are Codenvy (now RedHat) employees.
How to Build a Mind
people don't buy things by paying for them with US stock index funds. They pay for them with the cash portion of their portfolio. I mean sure, at some point they convert parts of their stock portfolio to cash. the reason it matters whether it is currency or an investment is, if it is an investment, then it should be valued on principles we use for valuing other investments.

Do they actually negotiate the amount of tax to pay? I know they will negotiate on payment terms.
Yea, it is such weird behavior. I can count the number of times I've ever wanted to adjust the volume of the ringer, rather than just turn it on/off, on one hand.

Luckily on newer version of Android there is always an option to quickly access the media volume after you press the volume button once, but it's still unintuitive.
Of course I do. I'm talking about the consequences of getting the words "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" applied to your body along with your signature.

That said, there are lots of situations where I think it would be stupid to have "Rape Me" tattooed to my body. It might have lots of calligraphic merit, but if it's on your face, you probably aren't going to be working the customer service counter at Target.

DeepVariant: Highly Accurate Genomes with Deep Neural Networks
I was initially very happy about WSL, but the more I use it, the more I realize it is not ubuntu. The character buffer often fails, network requests often seem to hang for no reason, the WSL shell is not integrated into the Operating system like it is in for example Mint or Ubuntu, various programs have slight but annoying differences.

I'll just stick to my dual boot and VM's.
What does this have to do with "out in public"? I have by law, custom, and common sense an expectation of not being 3D-scanned in a gas station bathroom, even if I pick up the phone that the previous visitor had dropped on the floor.
Yes but pretty much none of the conditions or hardships that they are willing to compromise based on apply to Apple.
Are you still reading Relentless from last year? It made your list in 2016 too. :)
ignoring the tech, i think many folks here are missing the point. Assume you really want to quit smoking right now, and you are also pro choice. With a system like this you can say "I will quit smoking in 2 months or this $5000 will go to an anti-abortion charity." now THIS system doesn't do that BUT the core point remains, if you can attach "significant" loss to NOT achieving a goal it can help motivate people (not all people, but you get teh point).

this system is limited in that it can only do "money" for significance. it can't also tie it to something you loathe. I don't think any of the available things ( https://www.beeminder.com/ was mentioned by someone ) can do this, but you can do it with a friend you trust.

to those who suggested having the money go to charity: Having the money go to a charity you LIKE is a terrible idea because then if you fail in your task "well at least my favorite charity is getting money" You actually have incentive to fail.
It is not transphobic. I find the position of a lot of trans people to be deeply harmful to the rights of cishet women. Claiming my statement is transphobic amounts to gratuitous mudslinging while simultaneously dismissing the very real challenges faced by cishet women.

I don't mind if you live your life and get your needs met, but I quite resent the way cishet women are getting crapped all over in the process. So, no, I will not reconsider my assertion. To the best of my knowledge, it is completely 100% accurate for biological sex. I see no reason why it should be denied to serve the political agenda of a small subset of people when denying it actively harms people like me when people like me are a much larger percentage of the population.

Apple has had some pretty major security screwups lately

What I'm about to write does not invalidate your statement and concern, but to me there's a huge gulf between a bug and a willfully-designed feature that explicitly follows a security anti-pattern.
I can't speak to farming, but I know the going day labor rate, usually construction, for random (illegal) immigrants you can pick up at Home Depot is $20/hr minimum around here. So you'll certainly have to do better than that to get natives. Again, if $20/hr isn't enough, the market will adjust until it is enough.

Who cares whether unemployed people are capable of hard physical labor? Plenty of people in the country are capable, so farm wages will just have to compete against other sectors. And when it does, it will raise the wages of EVERYONE in those other sectors because people will leave for the higher wage farm work. This is the mechanism I keep bringing you back to about how it helps all the poor, not just the ones who take the farm labor jobs.

Well, it was Iceland circa 1902. It had a ~75,000 person population and was fairly isolated from the world. This run may have been as little as few (couple?) hundred books. I could see such a small run being ignored for a long time. How many of those weren't disposable weekend reads that ended up in the trash within weeks/months? I imagine once the initial novelty wore off, no one cared and Iceland's small number of Icelandic readers guaranteed that their version wasn't going far.

I also imagine some Icelandic people knew they had a different version, but Iceland, up until recently, was just a backwaters of Denmark. It may have been an amusing anecdote between Icelandics and the Danish or English who read the true version. Maybe an inside joke between a couple dozen people? Not enough to make the international press. Now its just a historic novelty on the smithsonian mag blog, not exactly the front page of the NY Times.

>People will risk life and limb to go from Syria to Germany (about the same distance as Mexico to Canada). Millions of poor Latin Americans immigrated into California over 40 years, and eg NY is about 28% hispanic, but your premise is that Canada is just too far away because it doesn't border Mexico.

most of the countries (eastern europe) between syria and germany are pretty poor, so going to germany makes sense because there's a significant increase in wealth. meanwhile canada is about as rich as the US. so what are you getting by risking another border crossing into canada? free healthcare (which you can't get because you're not a legal resident)?
