I don't think it's incorrect, but from my experience it applies more to factory jobs. They'll have a 2 week shutdown in summer, and a 1-2 week shutdown over Christmas. Everybody has to take vacation then, which sucks in terms of traffic and flight prices.

My employer does officially close on some days on Christmas, but you are allowed to work from home (if you have a job where home office is possible).

Smaller scale of production usually decreases efficiency, increases costs, and thereby decreases consumption.
Having a decent amount of daylight time after work and rush hour end makes a huge difference. Should daylight savings be taken away, it will have a outsized negative impact on my life.

It's not realistic for the entire society to change from "9 to 5" to "8 to 4". The only hope is for daylight savings time to persist.
Perhaps. I understood 'the MVP needs to be in good shape in order to win and keep clients' as meaning 'in order to win (and keep) clients, you need a (good) MVP'.

I was objecting to the idea that you need an MVP at all to win clients (although obviously retaining them is a different story).
I used to think the same. I avoided body weight exercises because I figured my body just isn’t that heavy and I need to lift heavier weights to become stronger.

What I later realized is that body weight becomes very difficult by merely changing the technique. There are a lot of body weight exercises that are some of the hardest lifts I’ve ever done.

A person who has been dedicated to calisthenics can almost certain lift twice their body weight or more. Some can even squat a ton of weight without ever hitting the squat racks.

Like I said, the strength you build from calisthenics is very deceptive. People look at you and underestimate your strength because you don’t look like a weight lifter.

I’ll give you an example, sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you, back straight, and palms flat on the ground next to your knees. From this position, keep your back straight, legs straight, and lift your legs up as close as possible to your chest and hold it there for 10 seconds. Seems difficult? There’s calisthenics guys who can not only bring their legs all the way up, they can do it while simultaneously lifting their entire body off the ground in this position. Doesn’t matter how much weight you push in the gym, you will never be able to do that without the strong stabilizing muscles you can only get through calisthenics. And nothing you do with weights will ever be as useful or as impressive as feats of strength like this.
I worry that technology can leave no room for anything except dystopias. For example, it seems privacy is going to become a thing of the past, and there's little we can do about it short of smashing the looms.
Ask HN: Best companies to work for in Europe?
We all know about the big4/unicorns in the US. But what about companies in Europe with interesting work, good pay, and sane work/life balance? They don't have to be one of the "top" tech companies, just good places to work. Thanks for the answers.
But...I really like my extra hour of sun in the evenings in summer.
Try adding a hardware product into the mix. Not only do you have to deal with super long sales cycles, each iteration of your product takes months, if not years, to release. You can't just whack together an MVP and make it better over time unless you're happy to keep doing upgrades in the field. B2B hardware products and the "Lean Startup" ethos are very hard to marry!
It means both every two years and twice a year. English is a silly language.
Not at all - I abhor racism, sexism, and homophobia. My point has more to do with our general indulgence in materialism, offensive and gaudy cultural products (such as music that is highly denigrating and much of TV), a general contempt for anything religious or sacred, and our habit of placing relatively minor issues on the pedestal, while doing little in the way of pursuing policy that would benefit most people.

Well some of the early Hollywood stars set up united artists including Chaplin to get round this problem
The question was what problems and why would I want to do this. Saying problems happen isn't helpful.
I'm going to be a bit harsh here, but I think the answer is:

Whatever you're good at and can get a decent MVP out of the door with.

That might be Python and Django like you mentioned above, it might be NodeJS, or it might be anything from React to Angular to any other framework you can imagine.

Because at the end of the day, whatever you actually write the product or service in matters far less than what you actually do with it. Indeed, unless your audience are programmers and run your software themselves, your audience won't give a toss what your software was built in.

Pick whatever you want to write this thing it, but always remember that being early to market it usually a hell of a lot better than being late because you spent tons of time learning an all new framework for it.

> It is 04:25 ("four twenty-five") there, same as it is here. Does that mean I can call him?

To further strengthen that: Depending on which country in Europe you’re calling, a call at 7:00 may be okay, or one before 10:00 may be rude. A call past 18:00 may be rude, and people may be in bed at 21:00 – or people may not have even eaten dinner before 22:00.

This gets even more extreme when looking at China, where people living in the west of china will be off by 5 hours from local time.

I guess I'm getting pretty far off topic from the original discussion, but being allergic to nickel is really annoying.

I bought these nickel free stainless steel pans, because apparently stainless steel has nickel in it to make it shinier. I had to buy three different "nickel free" belt buckles (don't trust random Amazon products to be free of an allergen, even if they claim it!) before I got one that doesn't make my skin break out, and I have to wear plastic glasses because my skin and the metal on glasses doesn't play nice. Even the rivets in some jeans cause problems.

Would that be useful?

First, arms industries and even mercenaries don't seem to have much difficulty operating. So, whatever boycotts individuals might practice don't really do much. Even tobacco companies find employees, and no one likes them.

Second, we (in practice, eg eu cookie laws) rarely define these effectively. Is face recognition the problem? Let's ID people based on some other markers. You'd probably need very broad, principled, constituion-esque language. It is illegal to de-anonymise, store data or somesuch. My guess is that this will be almost impossible politically with bootleggers and Baptist's left right and centre.

There are just very few examples of what we would need, in modern legislation.

As near as I can tell: Compton scattering treats the photon and electron as two colliding balls, assigning momentum to the photon based on its wavelength. However, because the electron changed momentum during the collision, it must have experienced acceleration. Maxwell's eqns tells you that an accelerating charge radiates, but this radiation is not accounted for in the elementary Compton calculation. Compton got away with the elementary calculation because the effect is apparent at high energies only.

[This is the first I've heard of the effect, and I'm thinking it out in real time, so apply grain of salt.]
The "evil" associated with censorship scales with the social importance of the medium. Xbox and PlayStation? Those communities could turn in to or do essentially anything and nobody would really be that worried. The entire internet? Now, that would be terrifying.

So, people don't depend on the Xbox network to regulate the social position of Microsoft. We have those discussions on other forums. But, if AT&T started censoring, what would stop them from working with other telecoms to standardise on a CoC where you couldn't criticise them? If you say, "because that would be wrong and people would stop them," then you're back to believing in limits on what it's right for a private corporation to censor.

So, the question is, where should we draw the line? Well, I'd propose that it should be deeply frowned upon to limit any discussions that server any social purpose; pressure release, activism, anything that connects society together and keeps it in sync. Unfortunately, those discussions sometimes use bad words.

By the way, there actually is an important (progressive even) social purpose served by individuals being crude. The bystanders watch, and depending on how the crowd responds to the bad behavior, they adjust their idea of how wrong it is to engage in the behavior. If you were to take bad words and hate entirely out of the information diet of everyone, we would all loose our socal resistance to seeing them. (Note: this is a great argument against filter bubbles as well.)

Apple issues takedown notice after iBoot source code leaks to GitHub
In the last two years I've seen a large migration of digital artists off of traditional gallery sites (Deviantart, Artstation, etc) to Twitter as their "gallery". The same thing happened with Tumblr circa 2012-2014, but even those folks are moving to twitter instead of using a dedicated site designed for showcasing art.

I've never had a Twitter account because I'd much rather see ostatus and decentralized networks succeed, and Twitter has never offered anything meaningful in the past, but if this trend continues I'll be stuck signing up there just like I did with Tumblr not to use it as a social network but as a media consumption platform (as was mentioned in the article, video is also growing). Its also similar to how musicians were nigh forced to start using Youtube as their primary jumping off point over Bandcamp and Soundcloud because that was where the eyeballs were.

What kind of backwards world would it be if artists, musicians, animators, etc are all using Twitter as their primary distribution platform just because of the network effects. Same reason Tumblr took off in those circles. It doesn't matter if the UI is lacking even the barest support for effective navigation of media, its all about social bridging and getting into feeds. In my experience about 80% of artists and writers that use Tumblr have their creative works inaccessible because they are buried under a mountain of reblogs and non-content filler posts with limited to no means to filter or navigate them.

I'd hope this trend doesn't continue, but it almost certainly will. Those making a living for themselves through online media are doing so via network effects and memes. Get a breakout success, get into peoples "feeds", and spread through casual retweets and reblogs. Its never about discovery or wanting to find them, its them getting randomly referred to you through the hive mind, and that creates a handful of wildly successful winners and a sea of equally competent and capable creators that never gain any traction.
This is one place where the Web continues to reign supreme. Did we re-implement an OS on top of our OS? Sure. But it's been a tremendous success for accessibility.
That's inbound traffic coming from the outside world. You need NAT because the load balancer only knows about nodes, not individual pods (perhaps you can pull it off with e.g. ELBv2, but definitely not with v1).

There's more iptables magic if you talk to a service's virtual cluster IP, because of the load balancing, but from pod to pod, which is what I thought you were referring to, NAT is usually not involved.
Unpopular answer, but it's what we use here: Angular SPA front end + .NET backend

The "best" is what you can get the best product done the most efficiently, and what you're able to hire for. If a niche new thing comes out that might be 1% faster in synthetic tests, but you'd have to spend 4 months learning it as well as what you know now and there are no people near you to hire, it's not really the "best" for you.
Hahaha... that's hilarious / terrible! Nice!
The fact that the current administration put a full hiring stop, and that 18F had everyone on 2 year contracts, seems to have been much more important.

If everyone’s contracts run out after 24 months, and you can’t re-hire them, of course you’ll lose 50% of employees in 12 months.
Yeah, but you could achieve the same value with an app/website on the guest's phone. Sure it's a tad more friction, but way cheaper and potentially worth it.
> If natural light matters, shift society to do everything earlier!

Shift society so we can have the shortest shadows closer to noon than 1? No thanks. Depending on where you're located in your time zone, DST might actually put the shortest shadows closer to noon anyways.
My memory is a touch fuzzy, but to route traffic out of a container in AWS, you have to either NAT thorough the instances network adapter, or attach an ENI to the container. However, you only get one ENI per vCPU in a VM (at least until Amazon finishes its custom NICs). What I'm really fuzzy on is whether the instance itself consumes one of those allocated ENIs.

That is, if you're running off a m4.2xLarge instance, you get a maximum of 8 ENIs - 8 containers if you want to use only VPC routing. For some services, this may be OK, but for many others (most?), it's far too few.
> If you have time to manage (side projects|hobbies|sleep|exercise|health) in addition to being a startup CTO, is CTO the right role for you?

When you write code in a C like fashion it can often get as fast or faster than C. Of course it has the disadvatnage of all jit languages that it will likely have slower startup. But when you crunch big chunks of data it should be able to compete with C.

Actually want to qualify this a bit. Nothing gets automatically fast by just picking a fast language. That Julia is close to C in performance mainly means it is possible to achieve this through optimization without too much effort. However you still need to have some idea of what makes something slow or fast in Julia.

Personally I find it very easy to optimize Julia code because you can quickly see how the JIT transforms an individual function and what you may need to change.
I don't think that's a road we really want to go down. Laws exist to solve problems, not persecute minority groups.

I have heard white supremacists use this logic to say that DUI laws unfairly target white people, because in major cities maybe white people have cars and the minority populations use public transportation. You could also use the same logic to say insider trading unfairly effects white people.

It's unfortunate that the Trump administration doesn't recognize the power of technology to act as a lever. You can invest in agile technology teams, thereby actually reducing headcount of the government overall in the long term.
Because it's extra parsing in a pinch? If you're storing it in a database it'll be stored as a 64bit unsigned int (a-la UNIX Epoch) of seconds since 1970 (in UTC) but if it's text-file logs I agree that it should be UTC, this has been standard ops practice for 20~ years.

> It’s bullshit that a single company should get to pick winners and losers in the economy. We get squeamish about allowing our (barely) democratically elected government do that so I don’t understand why proponents of free-markets think it’s fine to let an unaccountable corporate entity exert the same kind of influence.

Speaking as an economic conservative, our principles were not designed to handle companies like Facebook with such unholy amounts of influence over media and society.

I'm not saying that excuses the lack of action in terms of regulating them, I'm just attempting to explain why it's difficult to get there from here, so to speak.

"As long as it's not government driven, censorship is perfectly fine"

This is sort of begging the question though, since the question at hand in a way is precisely whether that is still a good manifestation of the free speech ideal. A good case could be made that scale critically matters; your tiny football forum of like a couple hundred people can make whatever rules it wants, and anyone who doesn't like it can easily just go somewhere else.

On the other hand, if Level 3, the internet backbone provider, hypothetically started censoring based on the content of what was going through their network, we'd have a free speech problem.

I don't think it's that shocking an idea that Facebook and Twitter are now large enough that they should be obligated to take a very light hand, basically the minimum the government permits, on the grounds that free speech is not something that should be killable by the simple expedient of making as much communication as possible flow through commercial entities, then freely applying arbitrary censorship to the communication because it's a private entity. It isn't even that far of a trip before the government "requires" things of the companies that produce this result with some clever plausibly-deniable requirements, and thus free speech is just mysteriously suppressed even though it's nobody's "fault". If free speech is that fragile, it's materially ceased to be free speech.

I'm pragmatic about free speech, not legally deterministic. I want the effect of free speech, not a legal form of free speech that yet somehow lacks the effects.
