win7 kernel had a few tweaks too IIRC

I never liked Vista, can't say why but so far I think the UI/UX annoyed me. Everytime I boot Win7 I feel home (almost like NT5 or 95)
About three months ago I started taking 1500mg elemental of magnesium per day as 500mg magnesium chelate capsules providing 10mg elemental (15 capsules per day) for about a month. I've dropped back to maintenance dose of between 600 and 1200mg elemental per day.

Historically, I have a couple of basic assault charges, an assault with sexual intent charge, I was charged with two counts of trafficking a controlled drug (later dropped), ~13 year history of meth-amphetamine use and abuse. I've always had a short fuse, quick to anger, often frustrated, easily startled. My primary school nickname was "Psycho".

More recently I've started taking 6000 - 10,000 IU of Vitamin D as well.

Now, I know what I am, and I'll tell you: my moral compass; it's fucked. But since I've been taking a boat load of magnesium and D I feel way more calm and in control; I can easily shrug off all sorts of things that have historically rubbed me the wrong way. Suicidal ideation as completely disappeared, I don't feel anxious or depressed any more.

The difference has been night and fucking day.

I was never officially diagnosed, but one of my sisters has a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis, I've recently convinced her to start taking the same regime. She commented just two days ago that someone dropped something next to her at the supermarket that made a loud noise, where in the past she would have jumped out of her skin and felt disturbed for the rest of the day, this time she didn't even flinch.
Indolent and conformist perhaps is another way to describe this.

I fail to see how this a good thing.

A young generation perpetuating pointless taboos imposed on them rather than making their own experiences frankly is a sad development.
The best thing you can do is to start! Your background sounds similar to mine. V2 of the docs are really good. I've called them my favorite piece of technical documentation somewhere on HN before.

Anyway, the other comments about reading the docs and building things are correct. I'd just point out two things in addition.

1) Don't feel like you have to go write some impressive low level application just because the language is lower level - fizzbuzz works fine too.

2) Don't worry too much about whether you're strong enough on systems concepts. It's not a class you fail if you show up unprepared for; it's (presumably) play time you're engaging in to scratch your own itch. You'll make mistakes but that's not something to be avoided, it's the only way to learn.

> Also, if he was able to do something in error, that means the system is designed wrong. It's a process problem.

This doesn't work in all contexts, and I suspect it fails for a large majority of contexts. If the system always prevents you from doing the wrong thing, it will also often prevent you from doing the right thing.

For example, I submit that the philosophy "ability to make a mistake means that the system is designed wrong" completely falls down in the case of going to a new restaurant for lunch and finding out you hate the food there.

I wish this claim, which is very common in discussions like these, came with some analysis of why this odd philosophy which is a terrible idea in so many contexts is instead a good idea in the context at issue.

IMHO it's bad, as long as a lifestyle is pushed heavily from people who aren't immediate family. Doesn't matter if it's "hookup culture" or waiting for the prince charming to marry.

This comment vastly understates the effects of this law. Social Media companies are scared af to be fined by the German government, so the filters are so strong, that it targets the wrong people. A couple of comedians and satire magazines have been hit, left leaning people as well as right leaning people alike.

In general, I don't think it's a good idea for the government to decide what I can post on social media or not. There are already laws against defamation and "volksverhetzung" (sry I don't no the translation, basically it means I can't say "kill all the jews/muslims, they are filthy swines"), so keep the internet free from more regulation on speech. The internet is one of the last places where people have some sort of freedom of opinion/listening to different opinions, and our lawmakers make it more and more unfree.

If someone hasn’t bothered to take the time to proof-read their work, what does it say about the topic they are writing about? I don’t mind if the mistakes are because they are learning English, but I’m talking about really obvious spelling mistakes.

> learning rust for a python programmer

You might give Nim[1] a try.

Coming from Python, you might find Nim's syntax (and significant whitespace) familiar. It took me (also a Python programmer) a week or so before I was able to write small programs in Nim.

First I'd heard of dva [1] (#6 in the frameworks section), interesting that it eases use of redux-saga as well as the usual abstractions over redux. redux-saga has been something I've avoided after initial evaluation (I also avoid redux unless absolutely necessary), but might take a second look with this. Hope the project gets some more English translations!

There’s a vast difference between a hookup culture and having consensual, if casual, sex with someone.

A relationship without doubt is a good thing but it isn’t the only thing. Modern society for shallow moral reasons conflates committed relationships with sex.

This causes a lot of problems and probably is one of the main reasons why relationships break up or people feel miserable in relationships.

> There are already laws against defamation and "volksverhetzung"

Exactly. There was no need for this new internet censorship law at all, for they could've just started applying existing hate speech laws.

Instead they introduced this new shady law, which essentially turns social network companies into a part of the judicial branch.

The situation now is exactly as you have described it -- the companies fear the German fines and act overzealously.

Perhaps an outsourced, overzealous judicial branch is exactly what the German government wanted? As they're free of the restraints that bind the official judicial branch.
We’re turning our own human ecosystems into a panopticon, no wonder newbies are scared of straying off. Anything can and will be used against you, eventually.

(I’m not talking about fascist-kind repression and dissent wipeout, that’s out of our collective memory anyway and eventually only a problem for politicized individuals. No, it’s the much more concrete and pervasive peer control made possible by Facebook, Instagram and the like. It applies to anyone, even the most bland conformist and disengaged people )

Eventually we’ll develop a concept of public persona that takes no shame for the past. Next generation probably, after recognizing their parents were panicked fawns blinded by headlights.

As TFA states, firing quickly fails when you abruptly fire people seemingly for no cause, and works when you set clear measurement goals with deadlines and show that the person being fired isn't meeting the standard. In short, that being fired quickly should never be a surprise to anyone involved, and should be a relief.

If founders are quickly firing employees who are popular then the founders are doing something wrong, and hopefully have inculcated the kind of culture that allows them to hear negative feedback on the firing. If founders continue to fire rashly then it's a bad sign for the company in general.
A housekeeper who invested $12k in cryptocurrencies in the past few weeks is quoted as saying:

“And maybe I’m going to lose it,” she said. “Maybe I’m going to keep cleaning houses. But something is telling me I can trust this generation. My instinct is telling me this is the future.”

This time is different?

Personally I don't feel any regret in ignoring the whole thing, even though I've known about Bitcoin since pretty much day one (thanks to HN of course). I look at the people who are crypto enthusiasts and it's obvious that I would have to be a completely different kind of person to be in the game.

In that sense it's no different from Wall Street traders, YouTube personalities, real estate agents or multi-level marketers -- I don't envy their financial successes either because I wouldn't want their lives (and even if I wanted it, I would most likely fail hard at the job because of personality mismatch).

It's my understanding that you can thank Facebook for that law.
Unless it hits their bottom line (or shows naked female breasts) it was nearly impossible to get a post deleted, even if it was clearly illegal.
While it's unfortunate that such a relatively crude law was implemented it's at the end a reaction to the general, ultralibertarian "we don't give a fuck, unless it really hurts" attitude coming out of Silicon Valley.
Uber is an even worse example of that attitude.
I disagree with that completely, like honestly people that prefer monogamy generally do so because they are either afraid to be alone, because it was what they were brought up on, just don't want to deal with being rejected a bunch before hooking up that night, or they are romantics.

Monogamy is rarely worth it just because there aren't a lot of people out there in the world that meet the conditions of the sex not becoming boring, and like being interesting enough to you so that you actually want to spend half your free time with them.

Like I've only had one long relationship and that was because she met the aforementioned conditions, and I mean we weren't monogamous, like she was basically that one giant slut you knew in high school that got a full ride to Cornell.

Like most of the time it doesn't last a month, because I get bored, and just don't see her as worth the maintenance.

Especially when like when you are in your 20s like a lot of the pretty attractive girls you built up in your head, actually just lie there once you have sex with them, and because like most young people still haven't fully matured in regards to their interests and knowledge bases they are boring.

Before you go on my profile and bring up my post on CPlusEquality, I am not sexist I am just a misanthrope.

Right.

Is there anything wrong with waiting to have sex with someone you're invested in? I've found those types of experiences to be worth it, long-term. It's interesting that some see that as naive--it's the opposite if anything. Easy sex is fun but it would seem hard to invest in anyone but myself.

Its important to know that you don't need millions of dollars to help people and do good. My salary was 145k with it I started a non profit that pays low-income earners minimum wage while they learn how to code. These people could really benefit from learning how to problem solve but they don't have the luxury to quit and join a bootcamp. With my salary, I was able to help 3 people at first but now (after getting a new job and selling my vested stocks) we are able to support 13 students.

When I visited CalWorks (local government assistance program) to see if they could help my project financially, they were really excited and agreed to refer students (who are on the poverty line) and also pay the students so I don't have to. Before we joined, the only kinds of job training they were able to offer were the likes of Amazon warehouse packaging and hotel cleaning. I hope to empower more low-income earners to have the ability to simplify complex problems and problem solve.

Do you know how strict those laws are? I mean, you just said that, albeit in a quotation, so I imagine that at least is out of the scope of the law? Or would it be something that got you in trouble if someone reported it?
Yup, I’m being savagely down-voted for voicing my opinion... apparently by people who embrace the shallowness that’s the hallmark of consumerism extended all the way into the realm of our social experiences, making us mutual fungible products to each other.
Protip: if you want to argue that non-monogamous sex is cooler and better, your argument will be stronger if you don't call your girl slut. I mean, she is doing what you argue is good, so shaming her weakens that.
"It's like they're trying to get a record by not doing that. For years I've been baffled why Notepad at the very least couldn't understand unix line endings."

Probably the same reason that the CMD shell is so bad, and is only now being fixed up: since Windows is proprietary, nothing can be improved unless either the Microsoft decision-makers that are responsible for the product choose to spend budget on it, or there is a directive from higher-up in the company.
This is the dumbest bubble.

I put in about $1000 and took out $1500. It's gambling, pure and simple. It's shits and giggles; I had my laughs and now I'm out.

There are only two likely reactions imo.

Either the culture of the next generation of youth will have an unspoken understanding that certain shit doesn't go onto social media, and their culture will enforce that rule (people that violate that will be socially punished, exiled).

Or it'll get worse yet and young people will come up with behavior / approaches to evade social media. Perhaps including an assist from technology in doing so.

It's interesting because when I read about how Rust can rewrite iterators code into more performant direct loops I thought about Joe's blog posts that mentioned the same efforts for .NET. Also Span<T>. It seems .NET will have similar abstractions like Rust (of course not all can be migrated).
You’re most welcome to reject this ”Judeo-Christian prudishness” (or whatever you want to call it) but just keep in mind I’m an atheist, and all for rejecting dogma — including the new doctrines of consumerism that is snaking it’s way into our private sphere, making us all willing to use each other (apparently) for our short-term jollies.

From a biological perspective, what purpose does sexual maturity serve other than perpetuation of the species?

Therefore, it could be argued that the idea of teenage pregnancy being a problem is a cultural quirk. It could also be argued that adulthood starting at age eighteen is a cultural quirk.

No, it's the fault of the German authorities and the German culture. They've been pushing toward increased speech controls online since the Web became popular. The point is to better match their speech restrictions offline. The imbalance between the two was guaranteed to end. This didn't just start with the popularization of Facebook the last ten years.
Hey Sacha, we both spoke at NordicJS where we met. You mentioned your survey found a bunch of stats on my library's growth, and I know it has gone up by +3K in 2017 (total of 7K+ now), yet it seems unfortunately left out because gun isn't "tagged" as anything more than a database, not even a NodeJS framework (when it is, at least as much as Feathers is).

30+ projects were highlighted with less than 3K+ increase in stars, so it is just frustrating/disheartening to see mine left out. :/ Any chance there could be a "Everything Else" category or adding "NodeJS Framework" as a tag to us?
