I do love that story, it really sums up one bit of knowledge that older and wiser people tried to impart to me.

Anything that takes work required some form of motivation. It is very likely that the person that did the thing you think to be wrongheaded was a lot more like you than different from you.

The times when experience gets in the way is when the reasons for decisions are no longer true, but you fail to revisit those decisions. My favorite example for this is the Jet engine:

Radial-flow compressors create far too much drag to create efficient engines. Axial flow compressors generate too little compression in each stage to create lightweight engines. Therefore jet engines are not practicable.

The above paragraph was true around 1930. Improvements in metallurgy, machining, and compressor design eventually made axial-flow compressors much lighter and more efficient. I can easily imagine a more experienced engineer telling a less experienced one something like "I looked into that and the math just doesn't work out."

One can't fault the more experience engineer because one doesn't have time to reexamine all of the underpinnings for all of the knowledge one has about the world on a regular basis. Though I do recall hearing a few people (including Feynman) who would keep a journal of problems they failed to solve. Any time they would learn a new technique or about a new technology they would flip through and see if there was anything in it that could be solved with the new information.

Of course there is a relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1838/
The thing though is that I want a peer. I want someone with a similar outlook on life who I can muddle through life with. The people you describe all sound like fascinating characters, but they're not peers.

I'm 33, and I don't even see people my age as peers. I'm still a big kid at heart, and when I see people my age who are getting married, having kids, climbing the career ladder, it just reinforces that people my age just aren't my peers. I have no interest in ever getting married or having kids, and I have no career ambition. I identify more with people who are a decade younger than me than anyone else. Most people I've seen who are my age come off as more peers to my parents than as peers to me (this was especially jarring the last time I visited my cousins; they're only a few years older than me, but they have three kids each now, they reminded me so much of my mom, while I still see myself as an overgrown kid... by the time their children are old enough to have conversations with I'll probably have more in common with them than with any family members of my generation).
That kinda pressures me... I'm almost 26 and all I have is a Bachelor degree and a Job.

Partners and Kids are nowhere near... I don't even have a drivers license ffs (mainly because public transport is quite good here).

Should I start with that?
This is true. I suppose the issue is if people naively rely on defaults with ICC disabled.
Because they’re paying, private school student bodies are self selected to be students with higher chances of being successful. I’ll go out on a limb and say that few private school students are missing meals at home, for instance.
Oh I'm sure we can do better. Would it be worth throwing away decades of libraries, many of which have ironed out many subtle logic bugs over time? That's a different argument. Not going to say it's not worth it (there is a lot of mess that could be removed if we started from scratch).

It's the same argument any junior engineer makes when they start at a company with a legacy codebase. They always want to start from scratch but don't realise the cost or the fact that while they'll avoid 100 mistakes of the past, they'll also make 100 new ones. Why not just make JS better? It's already happening year by year.
macros/templates are usually confined to borders, databases, routes. not the business logic. Lisps are more susceptible to that.
yes, it's opposed but it's not usually for that reason, more often has to do with height or traffic. two recent examples:

Never mind, I just found the answer to my own question but I find it interesting none the less. So as the solution of the three metals cool if done correctly the neodymium will come out of solution to form a mesh of neodymium around the grains of cerium and lanthanum in a similar way that pearlite forms from austinite and ferrite in steel. This will give them a "sponge" of neodymium to conduct the magnetic field but have the cerium and lanthanum act as filler.

To explain what I am talking about way better than I ever could, this video is how heat treating steel will change it's properties and why different steels act the way they do.

Although nearly all of the new building in some parts has been mixed use. Sunnyvale has nearly completed replacing the old mall and town and country commercial shops with mixed apartments and commercial. Ever since Santana Row in San Jose turned out to be a huge success it seems one of the few types of development that gets approved.

It will be interesting to see where it all leads. I applaud Mt. View's willingness to add 10K homes. its about a tenth of what is needed but it is a great start.
The coincidence is not a surprise.

Vint Cerf was also the "prototype" for The Architect in Matrix, and probably it wouldn't shock me if he played another very similar role in other movies, too.
At bare minimum, getting a cert almost anywhere else requires a credit card.
That's not the issue. The issue is that for whatever reason, my brain is refusing to allow me to become aware of the time. The presentation format of the time doesn't matter.

It's tough to fight this, because the person you're fighting is yourself, and you're just as smart as you are, so you can't outsmart or trick yourself.

Sometimes, some technique will work for a day or two, but the brain adapts very quickly and learns how to get around it.
> These criminals do not care about being slightly less rich

That's not what was suggested. What was suggested was "as big as he can actually afford and a ban on working on government and financial positions".

That's called "punitive damages" when they scale to what the criminal can bear, rather than what damage they caused.

I do think these criminals would care about losing _most_ of their money and being barred from working in their field.

> I have no idea how a teacher would be able to live in SV and plan to have a family and everything else.

The math teacher at my high school in Santa Cruz was a retired electrical engineer with a Ph.D. from Stanford. There's no rule that says teachers need to make a living from teaching. It's known for being pleasant work.

Granted, the school hasn't pursued that strategy since then...
Thanks for helping out, iamtherhino
Maybe it helps, but I've built compatipal.com for exactly this reason. Describe yourself with short attributes (tags), say "JustinBieber" and "Slipknot"... then find others with an interesting combination of tags in your proximity and contact them, or let others find you. You have to think a little about what tag combination describes you best.

The main problems I faced were: Where do you find people when you spend 95% of your time at home/work? And: I believe part of the reason, why I don't want to talk to just anybody I meet on the street is not because I'm an introvert, but rather because it's highly inefficient to talk to hundreds of people and spend hours of awkward conversation just to maybe find one that I can get along with.

If you want, you can enter your mail and 2 tags, it's free (just use your spam email adress if you don't trust me... just make sure, that somebody interested can contact you). The vision is to someday find your true soulmate(s) with a few clicks.

I think it helps to have played a sport before to appreciate watching it.

For example, when I was younger I used to play some football (soccer). I don't play at the moment, but when I watch a game there's a lot more for me to pick up on because of that past experience. I get that to someone who's never played before the game might look uninteresting as it's a relatively low point scoring game (compared to something like basketball or tennis), but to people who are into it there's much more going on than just the goals, it's the dynamics of the game as a whole that captures their attention. Having past experience playing makes it easier to see when a team is attacking well and defending well, easier to pick up on individual displays of skill, easier to pick up on new opportunities and how these could change the game, easier to pick up on the state of the game (chances of a win, loss or draw) and the ways the players respond to this.

If the only part of the game that mattered was when the ball was kicked in the net then it would be a boring game as it doesn't happen very often, but there's a whole lot more going on if you know where to look. You might still find the game boring, but hopefully this helps to explain how people get into it.
I‘m exactly like this. The only way that helps is to get ready 30-60m ahead of the time I had originally planned to, and then wait it out. But since I hate to wait on other people, I don’t do this as often.

Are you also incapable of telling people that you won't be on time? You seem to articulate it fine here.

If you tell me that you'll pick me up at 5pm, but show up at 7pm... I'll be upset most likely. But if you tell me that you'll pick me up at 5pm, but will probably be late, maybe even hours late... I'll get it... And will adjust accordingly (most likely I'll get a ride with someone else if at all time critical).
> Hmm, how do you indicate this to Google? I'm thinking about how you could tell Checkbot to ignore pages like this.

I don't. I'm not sure how Google picks up on the fact that they're login walls. Maybe it's heuristics? Someone better at SEO than me could explain.

Re URLs to ignore: Ok, I see, that wasn't clear though. My two-fold suggestion is 1. Add a way to specify plain loose matching (eg. just /account/login/, skip the url parameters, etc) and 2. let me add that pattern after the urls have already been crawled (and make sure I can see which URLs are affected).

Keep in mind that this is pretty raw feedback and you know your product better than me, but I definitely don't think the URLs to ignore is usable right now.

I'm off to bed, I hope all that helped. :)

Same here. Wanna be friends? xD

I always associated friendship with the things we were doing togheter. E.g. in college my mates were friends because we could work on projects togheter while having some fun doing it. Without that they are just random nice people that I happened to know... There was never an urge to do more with them like drinking a beer or so. Am I weird?
Giving it another name ("homophobia", "insecure about their own sexuality") does not make the issue go away for the people who suffer from it.

You don't magically grow more confident about your sexuality (or your whatever) by hearing that you are insecure about it. Or at least, I don't know how.
I applied to both Google and Facebook residencies and got rejected. I am a CS Masters student at a decent university that produces significant research in AI and machine learning. While these residencies state that their purpose is for training people who are not necessarily experienced in research, a look at the previous participants suggests that there is a preference for people who are already at elite research institutes or have significant accomplishments ( like the MD from Goldman Sachs). I don't mean to be negative but I have a feeling that these programs are just another hype generating mechanism for these tech companies.
Same here - if one wants to get the skinny or get to the bottom of an issue, looking at the downvoted comments will often (although not always) quickly reveal the real story behind a particular subject. The downvotes have in reality become the upvotes.
Thank you. The message in the first two sentences are useful to keep in mind as they give very measurable signals.

I'm curious about the objective truth in the last sentence. In the case where a team is dedicated but lacks the skillset/timing to hit achieve their goals, that statement implies that the team isn't on-board enough, which may not be true.

My concern is that while that statement can sometimes act as a motivator, it may also push a team forward even in circumstances where there may be considerable rational evidence (from the perspective of an informed observer) to wrap things up instead.

I'd very much appreciate your thoughts on this.

sometimes, you need to use a chat app to talk to other people. in those cases, an app that the person at the other end of the conversation can have a fighting chance at figuring out how to use it can be a good thing.
So they're on the hook with the IRS.
Look at “noprocrast” on your HN profile page and related limits; the site can actually help you minimize your visits.

As for motivation...what I find that works better than anything else:

1. Define all tasks in terms of things that can be called “done” within a day or two. Make sure you regularly cross these off.

2. Write short lists for to-do items...one for issues, one for ideas. Don’t let these get long; if higher priority things come up and you can’t finish items, drop some (and trust that any truly important thing will make its way back to your list eventually, when you are ready).
Thanks for commenting here!

I was inspired by sandstorm's supervisor.c++ while looking into container security which actually eventually led me to this issue.

> For example, Docker mounts /proc, albeit read-only;

I can't find too much information on this, does docker mount /proc from the host by default in each of the containers?

> In general, if you are going to run possibly-malicious code, the better way to reduce your risk is not to use a better sandbox, but to use multiple layered sandboxes. The effect is multiplicative: now the attacker must simultaneously obtain zero-days in both layers. For example, Google Chrome employs the V8 sandbox as well as a secondary container-based sandbox.

I think that sandboxing the language is pretty tough in the general case, since every language takes a lot of effort. In non-managed, compiled languages, it will be even tougher.

What is your opinion on tools like SELinux as a secondary layers?
I’ll be certain to mention their arrogance the next time I turn up somewhere late. Thank you for letting me see what arseholes they are.

That's interesting. I'm a parent of 3yrs old boy, and can't force myself to start chit-chatting with other parents during e.g. parent-teacher meetings at his kindergarten. Maybe that's because I've decided to setup a family earlier than my colleagues and now I'm surrounded by parents who are ~ 5 years (at least) older than me.
It was in no way started from scratch. Microsoft took all they learned from OS/2 including the API and had basically the same team (including David Cutler, who was originally in charge of "OS/2 v3") and reimplement an operating system they didn't have to share with IBM. To pretend NT is somehow not directly related to OS/2 is the worst sort of historical revisionism; it's in fact a lie.

Your comment might come across a bit condescending, coming from someone who perhaps has better executive function (do you?), but I agree that victimization is a BIG problem. Eg every drug addict counselor will tell you that you cannot get better without taking ownership (not blame; that’s separate things!).

The problem with low exec function is that you do not realize WHEN you have choices to make; you get sucked into an activity and forget to stop and reflect the situation. In the process you overlook chances to decide, so you get the impression that you cannot decide anything (thus the victimization). Coding does this a lot to me btw, while other activities don’t; might have to do with the amount of energy required for the task as hand.

BUT you can choose to train yourself to stop in regular intervals and contemplate the current situation. Over time this will improve. I‘m also experimenting with near infrared light shone on the forehead, which for some reason does wonders for this (increasing energy available to the frontal lobe maybe?).

I've travelled all over the world and lived in LA for 22 years. Dubai is the least walkable city I've ever seen by a wide margin. It would hold that title even if the weather did not already make it feel like hell on earth.
Also, HipChat circa 2016 was forced on my acquired company that had previously used slack. What a piece of shit that app is. HipChat just nuked the battery life on my stock nexus phone.

I had never before gotten in an argument about a chat app, but HipChat made me passionate about using anything else.
I feel your pain. A close relative has the same problem; she's only getting somewhat better now at 55+ years old. She's one of the most selfless people I know; she simply has a real problem managing her time. And that inability harms herself way more than others.
It's not one of the most importart libraries in the language. It's hardly used.
Outside of the downtown areas, a lot of Dubai is like this too (low rise developments). From one side of the city to the other is more than 60km / 40 miles, so there is a lot of urban sprawl.

IMO Dubai is a pretty poor example of what cities should aim for, as you can’t get to a lot of places without a car. Public transport is good to the main tourist areas of the city, but if you want to go somewhere slightly further afield you need to walk (good luck doing that in the summer) or take a taxi.
