How far do you go into your hobbies? If you were working in those fields, maybe you'd find your current efforts produced little satisfaction compared to efforts that would help you get your work done.

For a lot of people, programming has nothing to do with their work, it is just a hobby. Project Euler and the like are great fun for kinds like that.
The GoodWatch (Casio wristwatch mod)
And Gentoo.
No there are not really great websites for this.

There are a lot of problems that go beyond development and even the social-aspect of the site.

I'd love to discuss more, as I have had similar ideas for creating a job board such as this. Send me an email: ryan@luma.im

new layer of internet

By shielding users from exposing their metadata, I believe that we can help whistleblowers feel more comfortable with speaking out and can help them to sleep soundly once they do. We can help journalists do important investigative work without putting their well being and the well being of their loved ones at stake. A student can gain access to the near total sum of human knowledge without teaching advertisers how to trick them into buying more stuff they don’t need. With the new layer of the internet, we can create a new world where free communication and free exchange are both safe and easy.

You are being tracked. And honestly, at this point, you’re probably getting sick of being reminded. In the last decade or so both developers and the public at large have begun to wake up to the sheer degree of surveillance we are all exposed to every day of our lives. And we’re starting to push back against this brave new world that we’ve stumbled into.

It’s finally becoming chic to encrypt your communications. You see this with end to end encryption coming baked into many new messaging apps, for example. Encryption is even supported as an opt-in feature in Facebook messenger now. This is a great step forward. Unfortunately it isn’t quite enough.

When you encrypt your communications you make the data very difficult for malicious actors to access, but you’ll usually still create large amounts of metadata, and often, the metadata is what an attacker cares the most about. The National Security Agency’s PRISM project, for example, focused specifically on cataloging and analyzing the metadata created by our communications. Sometimes how you say something is more important than what you say.
Any opt-out features should be disclosed to the user on install. That seems fairly straight forward to me.
I wish WordPress would support it. It would make it easier for me to suggest PostgreSQL for people with simple web hosting needs.
The maintainer's tweet about interviewing at Google is one of my favorites:

Psql jsonb types is NoSQL enought for me. I now use it to great effect, instead of an EAV.

On a side note, I was pretty excited that graphcool got open sourced, but their json limitation to 64kb is a dealbreaker.
Pgadmin went downhill, the new version is borderline unusable.
This repository compiles asm.js into webassembly [1].

Otherwise, you will have a hard time to convert your Javascript code. You have to implement a JIT compiler and GC too. Webassembly was never designed to be a replacement for JavaScript. And especially, it was never designed to protect your source code. A minimizer/obsfucator does a great job of making your JavaScript code unreadable.

I feel that if you're collecting data about me and sending it to a third party, there should at least be a clear notice during installation. It should really be opt-in, but at the very least it should be as obvious as they would make it if it were opt-in.

Good one. Been working on nodejs projects. Need some reference for robust libraries that can provide data structures like trees and graphs with advanced properties and methods in it.
The system has more authoritative nodes. Validators require external information like government IDs. You obviously didn't even read it.
Basically anyone who does any kind of work with code on a Mac is pretty likely to be using Homebrew for something or another.

>If you want to have an actual conversation about the current American political spectrum, please, use a real term. "Leftist" is, honestly, a stupid meme.

Really? I've never heard that complaint before, from either end of the political spectrum. What do you think would have been a better word with which to refer to these particular students?
> Downvoting everyone answering the title question and not reading the article. You guys should be better than this.

Downvoting you for not paying attention to why people are answering the title question--because it was the title question in the article, which then proceeded to answer a different question.

> It's about using a library called Turbolinks

Which is not answering the title question of the article. The article should have been titled "Build a Single-Page Application Using Turbolinks". Even the part about "without a framework" is false: Turbolinks is a framework.
When did I claim that?
Have you calculated how much resources, energy, and wasting peoples time goes into banks and printing fiat money?

Would be a nice comparison.
It would be easy to create a Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency that is not deflationary. You could make it issue new coins at a fixed rate or at an increasing rate.

(With cryptocurrencies, you can't change the rate new coins are issued, for example in response to the currency's buying power. Central banks do that with fiat currencies, to keep the currency's buying power reasonably constant, or to affect it as they see fit.)

I don't think deflation is enough to stimulate an economy; you need demand, by which I mean taxes! You must pay taxes with a particular fiat currency, so everybody in your jurisdiction needs some of that fiat currency, which makes it valuable.

If there was a jurisdiction where people could choose to pay their taxes in fiat or cryptocoin, both would be equally useful. The exchange rate would be governed by the tax prices.

Basically, if Estonia decides that Estonians will be able to pay their taxes in estcoin for the foreseeable future, at a rate of 1 estcoin = 0.01 euro, then 1 estcoin quickly becomes worth 0.01 euro.

In the Calibre settings, did you specify the exact version of the Kindle you have as the output device? With that set correctly, and not just left as the default, it has been years now since I had any formatting issues going from epub > mobi/azw to read books on my Kindle Paperwhite.
Stove-top siphon pot (Yama 5 cup). I've found it to be the best method after trying all (according to my personal tastes and style). Metal filter only.

French Press or Clever comes in second place. Also metal filter only.

Other things:

Baratza Virtuoso Grinder, Lavatools digital thermometer, timer (any will do), gram scale (any will do).

Coffee: Fresh beans from Portorico importing (NYC). Light-roast only.
While I'm personally not a fan of the outcome of Citizens United, the argument that a company is just a collection of people is not unreasonable to me. What makes an individual any better at acting as social glue than a collection of individuals? I'd argue a collection would serve much better, and really it's more the for-profit nature of most companies that is the issue. There's no reason a company has to "maximize the value for shareholders", and it seems more and more companies these days are challenging that notion.

One of my less-favorite things is how many people always pop up to defend the Google approach and argue that if he couldn't pass such an interview he must by definition not be qualified.
It would still fail when you got to the broad network. The idea of the validators presented in the paper is to prevent things like this. As you want to exchange money internationally, you would need an internationally accepted validator.
Until reading this comment, I didn't know they had a patreon page. As far as I can tell, it's not linked from the front page of brew.sh. It is linked down at the bottom of the README on github though.

Anyway, that number would probably be higher if it were advertised more.
I had a bad time at Google and was glad to leave, but wow did I ever miss that culture of commitment to dev process improvement and investment in tooling. The next startup I joined was kind of a shocking letdown. It became clear pretty early on that nobody else there had ever seen anything like the systems at Google, couldn't imagine why they might be worth investing in, and therefore the level of engineering chaos we wasted so much time struggling with was going to be permanent.

The startup I'm working for now is roughly half ex-googlers, so it is a different story. Of course we can't afford Google level infrastructure, but there is at least a strong cultural value around internal tooling, and a belief that issues with repetitive or error-prone tasks are problems with systems, not the people trying to use them.
Anecdotal, but PostGIS is the reason I started using Postgres several years ago in some of my own projects, which later came in handy at different jobs. At one place, we standardized on Postgres partly because of PostGIS.

I think Django has had some influence too, since they've always recommended Postgres.

Overturning tables because it is not against the law, so they should make it illegal, or because it is against the law and he was lying?
Out of all the languages I've been using lately, I actually like the direction JavaScript has been going.

Swift started off cool as a kind of Objective-C with less C cruft and more Haskell type expressiveness, but started turning into C++.

Clojure started off fast adding destructuring within 3 versions, but hasn't really done anything cool since then, whereas JS picked up destructuring but kept going.

Ruby started focusing on optional typing but JS left that up to TypeScript which seemed like a better way of going about it.

Python 3 has just been a mess from my perspective. I still can't figure out why after all this time they haven't added anonymous functions without having to give it a name (lambdas don't count, they can only have expressions).

Go continues to be the hipster language that says copy/pasting is fine, and that if you have a problem with it then go write a script that generates code, not learning any lessons from Java.

Java 8 adds nice FP functionality but it feels very unidiomatically tacked on and doesn't fit into the rest of the Java stdlib very well (e.g. how Optional isn't meant to be used directly pretty much ever).

JavaScript keeps adding more features that I liked from all the above languages and then some. My main gripe about JS is the unfortunate confusing naming scheme situation.

This will probably get me some hate, but that speech was genuinely funny. Anyone who can't put aside their

And it points out how ridiculous the Verizon shill claim is — Pai worked there from 2001-03 when he was 3 years out of law school, then worked for DoJ and various congressional committees, then went to the FCC in 2007. Claims that he's beholden to Verizon are exactly as absurd as that Manchurian Candidate sketch.
If you study human psychology, you start to meet up with this phenomena of people telling you the truth in front of your face, by using some sort of roundabout way of it. Many politicians do this by using the "not" prefix, "we are not going to cut down on support for schools", when in reality they will do just that.

I have been studying and thinking about this subject for a long time, and it seems to be an inheret nature of our human nature to need to tell the truth in one way or another. Jokes and making stories out of things is also one way to achieve this, as you are getting the truth out of your conscience, even in the form of a joke. We can see this behaviour recently for example with comedian CK Lewis, who did exactly that, telling jokes about him masturbating in front of people, when in reality he did just that.

This seems to be another case of this, telling us the truth all along the way, but just in form of making jokes of it. This way you are not exactly being dishonest, but you are disguising the truth in some way of shrouded communication, but still getting the information basically out there, and getting it out of your system. Maybe it's a way of dealing with being dishonest, as you can tell yourself "But I told the truth to you just there" ?

So, when politicians and people are telling you "I did not do that" or they joke about the subject directly to your face, I would be wary.

I don't know if there's a name for this behaviour, would be interested in hearing if there is a name for it.
I guess I didn't happen to check HN that day :(
Well, maybe provably incorrect for you but I can see that if you're a company outside the Silicon Valley bubble, Heroku would be way too expensive compared to other solutions. Even for me personally (living in Barcelona) I think it would just be too expensive to use for anything without feeling like I'm bleeding money.
I don't know all the technical details, and I'm sure it boils down to "it's hard to get wrong" with a french press, but one scoop of beans ground down, half the press' volume in just-off-boil-water, and 5 minutes makes a perfect coffee. Perhaps it's in part due to stealing this "recipie" from Alton Brown, but it really does just work for me.

The Aeropress does a decent job, but the volume of coffee created is so small and very highly concentrated. As a result, the outcome is really easy to get wrong. The paper filters also tends to capture a lot of the essential oils, making for a different tasting coffee when compared to a metal filter.

As for pour-over, it feels like the extraction of the grounds is very un-even, with those near the bottom of the filter being over-extracted, while those nearer to the top are under-extracted. Since over-extraction tends to create more bitter compounds, pour-over is never that good to my tastes.

As for Moka pots - it's hard to catch them right when they're done, and so it's easy to get burnt coffee (small all-metal pots with small amounts of water and coffee). The extraction seems good, but as with the Aeropress it's a very small amount, so it's so easy to get wrong.
Read the linked website. They include validators, a decentralized set of organizations, that can check government IDs to provide that sort of trust.

(This is like the only response I seem to be contributing, no one seems to have read the full thing, so people keep asking questions like this that are answered by the source, so there is no interesting conversation).
You don't have that option, not in the US.

German cars in the US have option packages, you can only choose from what they offer. Sure, if it's not on the lot you can order it or request an allocation or something, but you cannot specify the precise options you want if they're package-only.

Many Subaru options are dealer-installed so the only option you'll have beyond what comes bundled with your trim package is things like roof racks and fog lights that can be installed by a dealership employee.
Getting Caught Up in the Daily News Cycle
I think part of the issue is probably many new companies don’t realize they need this. So you might want to start by educating them.

Any reason to limit yourself to startups? More mature companies might recognize the need easier.
I didn't find that myself, but then again my first computer was a 48k Spectrum, powered by a Z80. I learned assembly language on it, and that got me into programming generally.

I've always got time to read more about low-level Z80 coding.
And that, dear reader, is why software security and information privacy suck.

Does anyone use MacPorts/Fink anymore? What are the use cases for them?
Instead of waiting for recruiters to contact you (the ones who do are usually the spammy and ineffective ones), try asking around and see if you can get a referral to a recruiter that someone you know has worked with (from either end) and found effective. You might even get some recommendations from HN.

It also sounds like you might have room to improve your interviewing skills - your description seems to suggest that that's the bottleneck in your funnel. That's something else a recruiter can help you improve your skills for; so can some job centers, or even a friend who's a hiring manager and willing to spend a little time mock-interviewing.

Good luck!
Poking around it seems like the older posts are about the Tokyo area and the newer ones about Hokkaido.

Thank you. Been looking to dive further into rust but needed some challenges. Unfortunately leetcode doesn't support it. :(
Good analysis. It's an interesting technology, but trying to use it to create UBI doesn't make sense for the reasons you stated.

I think you'd get something interesting if you dropped the universal constant rate of money creation (individuals can mint coins at whatever rate they want), and replaced binary trust with exchange rates (I'll buy 10 BobCoin for 1 AliceCoin). This would create a currency exchange that democratizes the ability to print money. Which, to be clear, is not UBI - printing money makes your currency inflate.
Yes. Thats the basis of legal system.
Absolutely. I use the Homer example all the time when helping people with user interviews.

I think it's ok to ask people what they want; it can spark some interesting design notions. But it's important to realize that can have very little to do with what they buy or are happy with. So also ask them why they want it and explore how an expressed desire fits into the context of all their other wants, both spoken and implicit.

At the end of the day, people designing something have to be true authors of that thing. We can't outsource our judgment to anything, survey results very much included. User ideas are sources of interesting design hypotheses, but we're still responsible for testing them vigorously and producing a coherent whole.
Usually it would advertise "at-least-once" somewhere prominently, like SQS, NSQ, etc.

It's really hard to be extremely available and to also guarantee there won't be dupes or out-of-order messages. Like databases, someone saying they offer both is usually hiding a trade-off.

EDIT: I think here "really hard" is a polite way of saying "impossible"
That makes it a near monopoly for whom? Having a big chunk of the industry doesn't mean you have a monopoly, by the way. Anyone can freely choose from a number of music subscription services. There's no monopoly here. The monopoly probably lies in how licenses are handled, and that process comes before Spotify/Google Music/Apple Music/etc. It's an archaic system and what should be the blame here, not the streaming services we currently have. It's always comical to me how people will attack Spotify and co. for things that the record labels are directly responsible for, and after having screwed artists for decades.

> But YouTube is not very good for providing income for musicians who don't want to be predominantly 'tubers.

Okay, this is not a great excuse. I think I understand what you mean by this. But if a musician doesn't want to follow the distribution channels that consumers prefer, then that's on the artist. If you want to take care of distribution for yourself and avoid any big labels, then you take responsibility for the success and failure of your music's distribution.
What a grisly circus.

Everyone thinks they're going to win.

No one is going to win.

Get out while there is a way of doing so.
You're implying that it's OK for consumers to essentially be force-fed ads

Nowhere did I imply that. I implied that it's ok for consumers to be forced to transact for content in the same way that they are forced to pay for the food at their grocery store.

And yes I am fine living is such a society. I can always choose not to enter into the transaction. No one is forcing me to watch Youtube, Or read a blog, Or listen to a podcast.
I've never really looked at this before. It seems to combine an interesting topic and a fair bit of research with, frankly, writing that is a little bit obnoxious. But still worth looking at.
I think you would benefit from more research into fake news. As referring to "news" stories that are completely false and made up, the origin is mostly in the runup to the 2016 US presidential election where such stories were widely spread, mostly on facebook, and there is indeed evidence that they were mostly anti-Clinton and often had Russian origin.
Why is this fagged?
