That is a nice description of how to arrive at the Y-combinator.

There was a talk using similar examples which I think is very educational.

https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Y-Combinator

I wrote down the examples used in the video (given the poor quality of video) to help myself learn about the Y-Combinator

https://gist.github.com/gdevanla/9171085

Recently, I presented this topic to my team and wrote down a Python equivalent of this example.

I've found that starting a new problem when my mind was previously focused on finishing a different big project is difficult but doable. First thing is take a 5 or 10 minute break away from the computer to clear your mind a bit. When you get back, open the issue or requirements for the next project and keep it on the screen with nothing else then sit on your hands and stare at it until your mind starts to wonder about whats possible and how you can do things. I do recommend physically sitting on your hands if you have a habit of browsing the internet when unmotivated.

It's like you need to repeatedly and unintentionally expose your mind to information that pertains to the project before you get into the flow of working on it. Just staring at it with no other outlets for activity or inlets of information forces the issue and speeds up how your brain is loaded with necessary information so that solving the problem becomes easy.

So another way to say it is remapping your working memory has a high cost until the previous information naturally falls out and your motivation and desires depend on that. So make it easy to move information into your working memory by making it the only information available. Instead of hackernews/reddit, put up the issue and reqs.

Also, for everyone else saying that you're not a robot, screw that. With the right techniques you can be a robot like the rest of us.

Also, in my experience most loud pipes are so bass-heavy that even when you do pay attention to them, the sound doesn't do much to help you actually locate the bike unless it's directly to the left or right.
As with most things driving, the US is a typically a lot more relaxed than that about handing out licenses.

I know in my home state (NJ) I took a 2.5 day class over a weekend and got my motorcycle endorsement from passing a basic skills test at the end of that. No capacity limits or anything else, I could have gone out and picked up a liter bike with my couple hours of riding experience (and probably gotten myself killed quickly) if I wanted.

Never forget the Manhattan project. Mass collusion being difficult isn't necessarily a 100% certainty that it's not occurring.

It'd take quite a bit of money, though, this.
We use combination of Redis pub/sub and Websockets. Each document has a unique key and whenever any of the users/clients make a change to it, it's published via that key. Other clients connect via WebSockets to backend and subscribe to the same key in Redis. The notifications are fairly simple.

The complex part is how we sync actual data from clients to server while ensuring consistency. We basically store all data in a tree format and having a diffing logic how concurrent changes can be applied conflict-free in most cases. I'm considering writing a separate post on that.

Ask HN: Switching to a Engineering Manager role from individual contributor role
I have been an individual contributor in small teams across startups so-far. I have played multiple pivotal roles as an individual contributor while also acting as a mentoring manager.

How do i switch to a full engineering manager role ?Most places seem to require prior experience but how does one bootstrap?
>Trouble with motorcycles is, at least in the EU, is too many years of governments putting the fix for bad car drivers onto the motorcycle license.

Yes, but as you know, even if the motorcycle is in the right, physics doesn't care. I quit riding recently after 8 years of serious riding, 18 of casual, because our sales guy, who has years of riding experience got T-Boned on a legal left turn with his wife on the back. They were "ok," meaning not dead and no brain damage, but they were pretty beat up. The moral of the story for me was, no matter how good and experienced a rider you are, you can still get clobbered.

>The cost has got rather silly and many models, even Jap middleweights, have reached the cost to buy of a cheaper car.

Between you and me and all the blind drivers, I'd rather buy a used sport convertible with a manual transmission. Just about the same experience for the same money, minus most of the risk of death.
I've seen this before and it's terrible.
Haskell's type system is terrible for this, ie. instead of plain vanilla operator overloading they have (^+^)... I once played around with a way to automatically track units when writing code like this, and I gave up on Haskell, doing it in C++ was much easier/sane.

I'm pretty sure you don't understand how co-op programs work at universities. You actually take the exact same courses as the "academic thinking" students, you just also alternate with work in a relevant industry.

Can you explain why you think taking courses and working flipping burgers or some other summer job is better than taking those same courses and being mentored by practicing engineers, programmers, scientists, poly-sci, <professional in your chosen field>?
Not at all true, unless you add an illegal straight through or race pipe. Or remove the baffles.

Motorcycles are comparatively loud, especially big V twins, because a) a surprising percentage is intake noise - there's a huge intake pulse from a 1200cc V b) the engine is open rather than behind a closed bonnet with noise absorption c) they tend to rev much higher than equivalent car engines (not Harleys)

Passing the legislated noise tests (specified engine revs etc), bikes are often quieter than a car. With some bikes now too quiet for comfort around pedestrians in town. Harleys somehow are always obnoxiously loud - My guess is probably mostly from intake pulses given current EU noise regs.
It peeves me a lot to see virtual currencies described as being "worth" something in a USD or some other real currency equivalent. By the same token, why isn't open source code described as being worth a certain amount of money? I think we can all agree that useful code that powers much of today's enterprise - entirely gratis, too! - is actually worth a lot more than some imaginary string of bits that gets traded back and forth for arbitrary sums of money.
It's especially noticeable on the highway. A loud bike or car can be heard when it's in front of you, but if it's behind you it is practically silent, and that's the time when it would be useful to notice it.
That's interesting, this[1] press release says:

400 km (248 miles) using a Japaneses standard JC08.
241 km (150 miles) with EPA
380 km (236 miles) with NEDC

That's quite a range.

"Unless you limit yourself to the official dialect of English, Indo-Germanic also has lots of inconsistencies, partially because of the majority of the population being able to speak English is actually a fairly recent development..."

Just saying, unless you talk about written Chinese, the big languages in China are not even intelligible amongst each other - less so than English, French or German. They are not dialects that can be trained together, they are very very distinct languages. (Of course official CCP-speak says the opposite, but they have never been fans of facts.)

San Francisco certainly has its share of self-righteous, self-important, holier-than-thou types.

I grew up and live in Indianapolis. It's only happened a handful of times, but while visiting San Francisco someone would say, "I'm sorry," after hearing that I live in a "flyover state." Of course, these folks weren't from San Francisco either. (I think I've only met one or two actual natives of San Francisco.) This has also happened in New York City.

I don't mean to tarnish the people of San Francisco, though, because I love visiting SF and the people there are the nicest I've ever met, anywhere.

I also understand that people want to preserve what good they have going on there, though, but I often wonder if this is because they're thinking about the greater good; or, some other self-satisfying motive.

CS grads are so insecure when it comes to this subject. Truth is most schools burry you in theory and barely teach you anything that is used in the field. A motivated self starter can easily surpass someone that went the traditional route. I only recommend school if it’s free. If you have to take loans or go in debt, don’t do it. That money would be far better used to start your own venture and learn on the job.

This also applies to whiskey - and especially to "craft" operations that source their bourbon or (especially) rye from MGP and sell it at premium prices. Templeton even built their own little Potemkin still to try to convince tourists that they made their own whiskey. [0]

There's nothing wrong with independent bottlers and blending houses (that has a very long tradition in Scotland, for instance), and MGP does make a good product. Just don't try to BS the customers.

For rye, at least, a good tip-off that a rye whiskey is likely to be MGP is if it touts a mash bill of 95% rye. [1]

> His compound rate of wealth increase, post paying taxes on the sale, is around ~7.5%. That beats the S&P 500 over that time, which very few professional money managers can do.

Very few money managers that are accessible to people with less than 10^8 USD can beat the S&P after fees.

Bridgewater, (Ray Dalio's fund mentioned above) regularly gets 12.5% annual returns and they are most notable for being consistent, not high. Pre-2008 some investment banks were getting up to 20%.

A billionaire making 7.5% annually is fairly unimpressive if their goal was to make money (which it might not have been for Cuban).

> salaries are the number one thing venture funding is spent on.

Are you sure? I think that's possible, but my first guess would be rent (anywhere, not just in SF--unless you're all remote, even tiny corporate real estate is expensive), followed by salaries/benefits.

Regardless, it would be interesting to see some data explaining how VC funding is spent. Even better to see how the spending percentages change over time/stage.
Renewable energy has an environmental cost as well.

This is a truly excellent point. It applies to people, too: what will someone do if they are driving through the snow for the first time EVER, if they had lived in a temperate climate and just moved?

They will go very slow and perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say they will re-learn. Humans are learning constantly. In fact if there were some natural disaster (lava flow) and a human saw another car drive across some set lava on the way out of town (as more lava is rushing toward them) then a human will go ahead and follow, after seeing the other car make it through. If they see another car try to go across but get stuck on, they might take a detour and go find some intact bridge or other way to pass.

Actually, what you call "general" might be as much as general intelligence...
Do you really think that giving control of your money to a bunch of Chinese crypto miners is better than having government protection on your account (up to a certain limit obviously)?

as a software engineer, you're correct. but most managers and executives @ 40 years old make at least 300k+ in the bay area if you include total compensation i.e. sellable stock and options. in a married couple it's common to make over 500k combined.

please remember that i'm talking about a really good job, in the bay area. this isn't "normal" anywhere else in the US except maybe LA or NY or if you are a top executive in the energy industry in texas.

Loud pipes create visibility (audibility?) when you are side by side with a driver, or in their blind spot. It reduces the chance of them from mindlessly swerving into your lane.

People usually get clobbered by cars pulling out in front of them, or getting swerved into from the side.

> It peeves me a lot to see virtual currencies described as being "worth" something in a USD or some other real currency equivalent. By the same token, why isn't open source code described as being worth a certain amount of money?

If we called it "code currency" and touted the ability to use open source to buy and sell things then I think people WOULD compare it to preexisting currencies. Instead, open source code is touted as a replacement for proprietary code, and we often hear people making comparisons such as "Gimp vs Photoshop" or "Linux vs MacOS".

The dollar-value for cryptocurrencies is because they are CURRENCIES.
Except that is not reasonable. Myself and many like me would buy way way way above $10.

This is the faulty argument in the 'its going to 0' position, there are too many folks like me that will keep buying as long as we can afford it.

A thing can't be called a currency until and unless normal people like myself can use the thing to obtain things such as:

As it stands, the craze of virtual currencies is merely a distraction from important issues, not to mention a waste of electricity and mindshare.

I hear people do not like loud bikes, but as a big bike rider I loved the straight pipes on my Harley. It meant cars around me were aware of my presence, which felt critical to my survival. As a biker my biggest risk is cars being oblivious to my existence.
