As a kid / young teenager - Star Trek, particularly The Next Generation. The hopeful, utopian world valuing high moral standards, teamwork and competency, the world that assumed organizations are good and efficient unless proven otherwise - this world colored my worldview and still determines the kind of world I'd like to see, and hence what I want to build towards.

As a young adult - LessWrong Sequences. A lot of the topics covered were something I was thinking about myself, so I kind of got halfway to the same answers independently, but beyond that, they helped me clarify and sharpen my thinking about the world.

Beyond that, I had lots of smaller influences. "Getting Things Done" shaped my thinking about productivity. Writings of Joel Spolsky and Paul Graham made me discover Lisp and Emacs, which subsequently reshaped a lot about how I approach programming. Helping set up and then run a Hackerspace taught me much about interacting with (and trying to coordinate) a group of smart and skilled people. And then HN contributed a lot to broadening my worldview too.
My first experience was spending a year abroad in High School when I was 15. (Classical exchange program managed by one of the big non-profit orgs.) So I lived with a host family and was fully immersed in my host country's culture.

I kind of consider that experience the beginning of my conscious development of my own personality.
Completely changing your point of view and starting off as an outsider in almost every situation (language barriers + cultural norms) really makes you reconsider so many details of things you always took for granted. I'd say you learn more about your own culture and country than about the host country.
After that you will just naturally acknowledge that lots of things are arbitrary rather than god-given. This in turn I believe leads to the next step of realization that you can design and shape things rather than having to accept the status-quo as is.

After that I first got involved as a volunteer in my exchange organization, and later lived abroad two more times (in university and for work) while also naturally surrounding myself with people who had similar 'changes of perspective' in my social life. I find that those people are generally extremely curious, open, driven and generally inspiring.
Since when did per minute become a thing? 16K/sec is typical for a node app on fairly avg server.
People in universities (both staff and students) are always left-leaning; the mindshare of Linux in universities has always been big everywhere, it's not really a Catalan thing. Because of that, I'm not surprised they are enthusiastic about the Catalan language either, but that's not the case anywhere else, where people usually run their software and enjoy their entertainment in Spanish without making a big deal about the language.

I also believe Windows 10 has a good Catalan translation although I have never used it.
Windows also has two syscalls - one to reserve memory and one to commit memory. You can reserve+commit at once, but you can also just reserve a chunk of virtual memory that you commit at a later time. Accessing pages that aren't committed is a segfault. So you can say "I might need up to X contiguous bytes of virtual memory" and then commit as you go. IIRC, Windows will let you over-reserve, but not over-commit.

Edit: sorry, not two syscals, it's an option to the malloc-equivalent - VirtualAlloc
The problem is, we forget the failures and the pain and remember the succeses. Nobody remembers the german attempt to get the bomb. Everbody remembers Trinity.
There's the Munich experience and the Extremadura experience, so there's mistakes Barcelona can avoid.

I hear they're using a popular distribution (Ubuntu) rather than trying to make and maintain a forked one. This is a very clever choice that will save a tremendous amount of pain.
> shares I had to opt in to, at the cost of some salary.

I think this is a fair way to approach the situation.

> People on this thread are making comparisons to 300k/yr Google salaries. ... But for employers, it's a pretty silly comparison.

Why though? You're competing with them, whether you like it or not. AmaGooFaceAppleSoft hired 45% (including those going on to grad school, etc) of my graduating class, and I didn't go to Stanford. No joke, it was really 45%. These companies are vacuuming up everyone, and some of them are shockingly easy to get an offer from.

Sure, they didn't get paid 300k/yr to start. But with how much the equity has appreciated since then, it's probably not that far off.

So that leaves you with the remaining 25% who didn't get hired/didn't want to work at at one of those companies/didn't go to grad school, and you're competing with every other startup for them - including the larger, more established ones who can reasonably say they won't disappear tomorrow (e.g. AirBnB).
You mean in the same way a human will survive a stab wound as long as you stab them gently and provide good aftercare?

The fish surviving doesn't quite make the whole exercise a net positive on the ethics-scale in my opinion.
Good work. If this was important to you then good work. No idea why people are giving it a hard time. Not everyone should or should want to build a bunch of extra stuff. One job can Indeed be plenty. If you want to work on other stuff you should. If you would rather spend your time doing some thing else then do that.

I would say that the healthy version of why is summed up fairly well by an apocryphal story from the "Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking" - https://blog.codinghorror.com/quantity-always-trumps-quality...

The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the "quantity" group: fifty pound of pots rated an "A", forty pounds a "B", and so on. Those being graded on "quality", however, needed to produce only one pot - albeit a perfect one - to get an "A".

Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the "quantity" group was busily churning out piles of work - and learning from their mistakes - the "quality" group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.

AFAIK RaiBlocks is the only coin that has tried to build a compeletely feeless cryptocurrency. Whether or not it will actually work, I don't know, and the current implementation has a lot of issues. But it's interesting if you're in to crypto. Furthermore, Lightning Network could provide a similar feeless system (excluding the settlement TXs).
It’s not a thing and it’s fairly trivial to get to that load on a typical go app as well.
Surely you meant Libertarians?
I agree with you about supplementing mouse with eye tracking. But I guess we will see something combining eye tracking and speech recognition.

For instance: If I am looking at an specific stock chart I could ask the computer to place an order. In this case eye tracking and voice would be used to match the kind of stock I want to trade.
Not an author, but each user has to manually provide an URL pattern and public key, which are meant to be verified out of band.

If you don't - visiting the signed pages won't do anything. The extension would just say "no signature expected" and won't even show there is something (i.e. no "noticed an unknown untrusted signature" statuses).
I wish more people would understand this. It generalizes.

We say "no DRM on the Web!" Hollywood says "Okay, no cross-platform movies on the web then, either. Bye!"
Well, I'm Estonian living in Barcelona. A lot of things never bother to add Estonian support because we're such a tiny nation (like iOS, for example) which means our English is rather good. Good English is not something I've encountered much in Catalonia, so while yes I agree that having your country's technology work in your language is a must, it's also in my opinion a double-edged sword making more and more local people not speak English.
Absolutely agree. Mafia is not a democratic type of government. And even most despotic governments are probably better than the average mafia, for the people they rule. Reason being that you can't rule a big, stable country if you are too tyrannic. Other government-types will compete with you, and even foreign governments will try to take your land and people.
You can't really have "equity" without the possibility of dilution. The nice thing about shares is you can always create more of them.

(Most companies will be lucky to be acquired, never mind IPO. Unless you're talking listings on the pink sheets.)
This must be Google's "strategy" for keeping people from profiting off of their open source code. I've encountered so many of their "open source" projects that are nigh impossible to build without having a Googler sitting in a chair next to you, walking you through all the unrecorded changes to the build process since the last time the documentation was updated.
Bahahahahahah oh my fucking god $19,000 for a surgery. Holy fuck. God and that's supposed to be the cheap reasonable choice. Holy shit. God I love living in a country where if I need a knee replacement I go to the hospital and they do it and then I walk out and the healthcare I pay less than $100 a month for covers it. Sure am glad I don't live in some third world shithole like the one described in the article.

For a VC startup the odds are tiny for success and will most likely fail.

Take the first jump and build a small niche product first.

You'll have a better chance at success and you can use that experience for your larger venture next time.

I'm really happy with VSCode as my "Markdown note-taking app", especially after the support for multiple projects was added in the last release. This means, I open a workspace with multiple projects (my dev notes, config files, markdown files for my static blog, etc.), and I can access any file by using the built-in file search (Ctrl + E).
Microsoft decided to move their HQ to Munich years before this.

In fact the year the construction of MS HQ started Munich voted to start planning the move to LiMux.
While I really like the lightweight approach and easy inserting of images, I don´t see a big difference to edit md-files with Sublime/Atom/Code and activated tree-view/markdown/vim-plugin.
Maybe you should advertise more differences for a developer compared to his already running Sublime/Atom/Code/Vim-Setup with a Notes-Folder full of markdown-files.
Does anyone know how to solve the tennis-ball formula?
All I can muster is that the distance on the beach (b) divided by the speed on the beach (Vb) + the distance on water (w) divided by the speed on water (Vw) should be minimized. So I should find the minimum of b/Vb + w/Vw , but I have no clue as how.

> it takes time to learn all of the shirtcuts in any GUI application

I'd say in most cases it takes more time to learn a console application. GUI's these days are, mostly, pretty intuitive. CLI applications are not intuitive at all.

The difference is, for me, that GUI use quickly levels out in efficiency. _If_ I have learned the CLI commands and know them well, I generally can do tasks a whole lot quicker than a GUI I know well. It just has a higher up-front cost, which may be very worth it, to not worth it at all, depending on how much you use the application.
Just a good mix of NIH and scratching your own itch. It's a good project to learn from.
I have nothing against your message, because it's true, but I had a good laugh at your tl;dr being longer than the sentence preceding it.
I've lived in a tiny urban apartment for so long that just imagining 1200 square feet makes me agoraphobic.
I don't want the job, I want the output of the job. If I can have something else do the work and produce the output for me then I'll take that and spend my time doing things I care about.
I think that would be easy to fix, though. Hash every X'th block in some manner, to take effect in 5X blocks or whatever, would probably be good enough. Again, if someone is manipulating literally every bit of an accepted block successfully to successfully hack you via this method, your currency already has a problem.

There's enough agreed-upon entropy lying around for this to work.
Psychedelic mushrooms, specifically Psilocybe *.

Losing that ego-based view of the world and realizing the interconnectedness of all things, and feeling that connection at the deepest levels of your psyche, does wonders for eliminating the adversarial individualism that I feel generates a lot of issues when enacted in all participants of society. Before, I had (and admittedly still have) some aspects of my self that, when acting through them, generate much undue stress in interpersonal relationships. I've never been particularly social and psychedelics have helped me simultaneously empathize with my fellow participants and remove the stupid anxieties related to others' view of you. "L'enfer, c'est les autres" is still very much a part of my outlook but approaching this mentality from both sides (ego-centric and ego-dissolved) has made abundantly clear how to manage these anxieties, even if I still get caught up in them sometimes, leading to destructive behavior.

All interactions are social, and embedded in the expectations and habits of human participants. At work, in romance, in family, and between friends, understanding what is meaningful and mutually beneficial interaction is essential for long-term happiness as a part of society.

A second thing that has helped a lot has been living abroad in very colorful and international communities. The vast array of perspectives and norms gives you a wider understanding and a deep empathy for how people can grow up in flawed societies and how to approach the fostering of your own to overcome those flaws.

I would think there is a Venn diagram with an overlapping 'sweet spot': Good employees are probably more likely to get offers, as are candidates that prepare for an interview.
>and I've also seen this behavior while editing small Python files. I also had no other plugins other than the default bundle. So my atom installation was pretty lean.

Atom has made significant strides in the last year reducing that overhead, but the 800 mb from that article was a bug, and was if i recall fixed in the very next version, reducing the total memory usage from opening that large xml file to basically nothing. Even your article shows that it started with a ~250mb memory usage, but the article didn't go into detail about what happens when you open a ton of files (the memory usage only increases a small amount with each file). The overhead is large, but it's fairly static. And judging a program by it's baseline memory usage when using it for it's most trivial tasks seems silly. It's like complaining that your OS takes a minute to boot up just to edit a text file, when VIM can start up in a hundred milliseconds!

>I develop at the system level, and for development scenarios Atom is nowhere capable as Eclipse, and seriously that's OK.

I completely agree! I just hate when there are perfectly valid problems and issues with a technology, but people ignore them and jump on the bandwagon of a non-problem.

Just like how there was a time when Emacs was a laughing stock for being so resource intensive, things improve, bugs are fixed, programs are optimized, and hardware gets more capable. Judging programs by what they once were is an easy trap to fall into, but it's not helpful for anyone.

I don't know how your brain works, but for most people just hearing/reading the words "pink elephant" will cause their System 1 to immediately bring that concept into their consciousness.

This isn't "simple minded" it's just how brains work, and the alternative of having to actively think about a word to remember what it means, would be much slower.
I thought these "smart suitcases" were sort of gimmicky anyway... If you want a portable battery, just get an Anker! They work great and they fit in your carryon.

Sleep, diet, exercise, and a means to reflect.

Sleep: I think we undervalue the importance of sleep. This is the time when your body gets to improve itself. Without good sleep, your diet and exercise will be much less effective.

Diet: Your mental and physical well being is a rolling average of the things you eat. Cheat days are fine; cheat weeks are not. As long as your diet is always trending in the right direction, you'll find life becomes a little easier to manage at an increasing rate.

Exercise: I hardly do it for physical reasons (though they are very positive), but instead for chemical reasons. Exercise is very important for your brain, and to flush toxins. I play soccer and lift weights, but you might find something else that you enjoy. The important thing—for me—is that it's something you can get into a "flow" with, that feels almost meditative.

Reflect: Whether you do a 5-minute journal, transcendental meditation, 'Getting Thing Done', or whatever system is popular today... it's important to find where your next 2% improvement will come from. Life is just a series of these steps that push you forward, 2% at a time.

Don't forget to play, either. That's half the human experience (and the source of a lot of creativity).

These are all the tinfoil hat types, and guess what? They're not going to be using these cars anytime soon. Which means they're not the market.

Who then comprises the market for these cars? For starters, consider senior citizens who have either stopped driving or are having difficulties driving. They'd really appreciate being able to maintain their mobility.

Likewise, anyone with physical disabilities preventing them from driving would appreciate these kinds of vehicles and the autonomy they allow them to maintain. This set of folks would include those who are temporarily disabled: they might be interested in leasing such a vehicle for a month or two.

Some people see taxis being automated, which may happen, but prior to that I can see automated shuttles becoming a thing, especially at airports and conferences. They follow set routes and people are already familiar with automated trains in these scenarios so the concept won't seem quite so foreign.

Once people who actually need these vehicles start using them, the public at large will begin seeing their utility and may even come up with more use cases than we're considering. Next thing you know, in twenty years' time no one will give these vehicles a second thought.
I think I'd go a little further, even: not only is there friction moving from one "immersive" application to another, there seems to be some expenditure of energy necessary to actually make the switch. Each fights in it's own way, not only to deliver on it's function but to somehow tempt you into spending ever more time with that particular application.

A console or text-based interface seems like a big equalizer; for sure it's often easier to manage a console application but it puts hard limits on how much attention these applications may siphon away. Perhaps it's easier for my attention to wander than others, but when the task at hand is particularly boring or unpleasant, I find I can waste quite a lot of time browsing through music or "catching up" on likely useless Slack conversations. Since I've moved them to a text-based interface, I do feel I am wasting time like this far less often.
Right. People often fail to recognize that without preferential shares startups would just raise at a lot worse valuations.

If Sequoia is offering $10m at a $40m post money, how do you think that would change if they weren’t getting control and a guarantee they get paid first? Because without preference the founder incentive is a quick low risk liquidation at a price notably lower than $40m as soon as possible, because they’ve got 50% of the equity. This is another way in which financing valuations are an optimistic fiction.
'Liberal' has different connotations in Europe and in the US. In the US the term describes policies that are more in favour of regulation/state intervention and are on the progressive leaning side of the political spectrum (like what we in europe would call social democratic). In Europe the term 'liberal' is more connected with free-markets/anti-regulation/lower taxes policies and is placed more on the conservative leaning side of the political spectrum.
If you are concerned about the impact of firing an employee with other financial responsibilities (not sure why specifically having young children factors into it anymore than any other responsibility), that is solved with a severance package, which is often still cheaper than keeping an underperforming or toxic employee around.
