'...there are British people who lived in Netherlands, Spain or elsewhere in EU for years, but for many many different reasons they can't become naturalized'

Because a lot of countries do not allow dual-citizenship and, broad generalisation accepted, people don't want to give up their UK status.
Mine is a european perspective, too. And most of these people really have nothing left to lose apart from taxpayer paid welfare -> ordinary civility is absent, disputes are unnegotiable. (Unless you want to have your property / home / loved ones sabotaged.). Personality disorders are rampant. You not looking close enough is not a solution to the drug problem.
My main disconnect with the hiring process these days is the near-ubiquitous use of code challenges that just keep getting more and more time-consuming.

A friend of mine asked me if I wanted a pointer to a job that wanted me to spend six hours of my free time greenfielding a toy. I laughed and said no thanks. Code challenges are sucking all the liquidity out of the job market and are probably responsible for a good bit of the salary hikes I've been seeing lately.

One challenge asked me to do everything in Vanilla Javascript.

The other asked me to make a commit to their production codebase. Even if you offer to pay me, your offer is never going to be truly enough, and I'm not looking for side work.

Code challenges feel incredibly lazy to me. Your organization sucks at hiring, so let's throw all the obstacles we can at applicants and see who makes it through. I wanted the job that asked me to do the production commit bad enough that I made my best effort. I ran into a snag and raised an issue like I was asked to. No reply, and the door slammed shut in my face a few days later when the time frame elapsed.

I now refuse to do a more-than-trivial code challenge while I still have a job. It's just not worth it.
These are exciting news, especially about Draft.js editor integration! I've built multiple projects with Wagtail CMS, and it's always been a great joy to work with the code as a developer. Clients also like it for its sleek and uncluttered admin UI.

The aggregator paradox
Not handling spaces is a symptom of a much deeper problem in common with a lot of 'unix' utilities: not actually structuring data apart from in ad-hoc string encodings. The fact that data can be so easy conflated with program structure is the cause of so many obscure bugs and overhead in using utilities that suffer from it it's a wonder anyone is defending this approach going forward.

From the most popular MOOC of all times, "Learning How to Learn", there is this book:
https://barbaraoakley.com/books/a-mind-for-numbers/
Although the "numbers" in the title, the book is about any kind of learning.

I also like "Refactoring your Wetware": https://pragprog.com/book/ahptl/pragmatic-thinking-and-learn...
Looks more like it's at a lower level like MIO.
They don't necessarily have to be "better" to deliver more reliable products. They have a head start and don't have to aim for the same feature sets that companies like Nest aimed for in their first product.

I don't think it'll easily be confused.

Honestly, whenever someone chooses a name, a comment like this comes up. It's inane. Every possible common english word is already used for some other software product in existence, even if it has a small user base.

Holding up the ideal that no name clashes should ever occur in software is even far more restrictive than actual trademark law.
The "Learning How To Learn" course is also one of the most popular MOOCs

Learning at scale via MOOCs seems to be enormously effective. EdX alone issued 250K certificates for 2.5M registered users. Mostly in CS.

I'd be interested to see YC Startup Schools own results as well. Do at least 10% of Startup School 2017 grads go on to full time work on their companies?
> Pagedraw is not programming, which only works because we don't really think HTML and CSS are either.

I'd beg to differ; I don't think the scenario is as clear cut as you suggest, because there are a huge number of ways of developing FE for a design. Lots of compromises inevitably need to be made, and lots of choices need to be taken.

Humans are great at filtering and choosing based on experience, instinct and an understanding of industry norms / best practice .. and are able to continuously update their 'mental model' of the options available.

Having said that, tools that help to take the repetitive strain out of developing for FE are a great idea. I just wouldn't look to such a tool as a panacea.
To me the fact that the intent of it is entirely different (it's not an investment fund, it's a social welfare program and those two things are pretty dissimilar), it's transparent, and it's underwritten by taxes makes it a very very different beast overall.

That's fine, you just route to /dev/null everything that goes to the anonymised address; the email headers either won't be re-written or will be re-written a la RFC 5321. Either way you'll be able to easily identify emails sent to the anon email address and dump them on the floor.

And how many pedestrians/passengers were killed by autonomous cars during this entire testing period? How many by human drivers? How can you trust human minds so much after the answers to those questions?
The systems also encode in existing discrimination.

For example, women are less likely to be investigated for a crime, charged with a crime, convicted of a crime, and receive lower sentences when convicted. In some cases (especially involving sex crimes) there is explicit sex based bias written into the law itself. This means a lot of data on who commits crimes has a strong sexist bias, so any automated algorithms have a strong possibility of reinforcing the existing bias. The same will happen for race, class, and many other factors.

There are also cases where society wants an incorrect bias put into place. For example, parole risk assessment software vastly underrates the threat of certain classes of criminals compared to what society and police think it should because there are major myths about rehabilitation and recidivism that are as popular as they are wrong.

Perhaps the worst part is a total lack of transparency in the existing algorithms that determine risk. With enough data you can reverse engineer it, but that doesn't give the same impact as seeing the rules themselves. For example, one parole group I developed software for had a risk rating that appeared to automatically rate women a risk level lower for the same crime. Imagine if the same was done based on race.
This represents a problem with make, not any other part of the system.
This might be one of the most poorly written articles I've ever seen on HN.

I don't think the EU are being easy on the UK. The UK press certainly does not feel the EU is being easy :D.

The EU are being very clear what their negotiation stance is and they are not really budging.

For most people, the fact that the UK have shot themselves massively in the foot, and are aiming for the other foot as well, is obvious, and if you look at the polls, appetitest for leaving the EU in other memberstates have dropped significantly after the vote.
Hoping you don't mind a little shameless plug here, I'd like to talk about likedb: https://github.com/kozmos/likedb

It's a bookmarking database that keeps a copy of all your bookmarks in your computer, but automatically syncs to your other devices. Similar to what Chrome and Safari do between your desktop and mobile devices.

Although it's built particularly for Kozmos (getkozmos.com), you can build a service that syncs with that.

P.S If you'd like to build an import manager, you can use Kozmos' parsing library; https://github.com/kozmos/bookmark-backup-parser
Hello hello. I gathered through your series of subtle clues that you're based in the UK. Are you going to be focusing mostly on the British job market at launch?
For me, it used to be bad. Watery eyes, lack of focus, nodding off while staring at the screen.

After I started morning exercise, I almost never get the afternoon doldrums, and if I do, it can be attributed to either poor sleep or poor diet. I feel solidly productive for the entire day now; though on lazy weekends, I'll take a solid long nap.

For more context, at a minimum I do 3 days of CrossFit at a competitive gym (meaning it can be a bit more than what you would typically find for that kind of exercise programming), normally at 5:30am. Food typically starts off with overnight oats and/or eggs, bacon, spinach, cottage cheese, and the like. Lunch bounces around, but often includes salad and/or rice and some meat. Dinner is usually similar but of better quality compared to lunch. And I try to be asleep before 9pm.

Snacking (or binging) on junk foods or lack of good sleep can sometimes bring afternoon slumps, but not very often. If those do hit, working from a different spot helps. Maybe standing instead of sitting, working from a couch instead of a desk, or working in the kitchen with coworkers milling around.
Why?! 21st century and one of the super powers still sees 'has world ending superweapon' as an election point.
> Some of the excuses that I often come up against are worth sharing though...

I'd like to add one. Salary range is low (pre-revenue startup)
so the company needs to make up for it in non-salary ways. And the company wants a chance to talk to the candidate and sell the position without having the candidate not even bother to apply.

With that said, I don't agree with that. I used to, when I was younger, but now I understand the importance of padding your retirement account and saving while you are young.

I eventually made my opportunity costs back and then some but it was the long difficult road and most people aren't so lucky.
Thanks timonweb!

I'm the OP, happy to answer any questions about this release or Wagtail in general.
I was thinking it might be "reason" to collect their information for future updates.
'Does this work both ways?'

It does at the moment. But, as per current plans, people from the EU who arrive after a certain date will not have this right.

The date has not been decided, nor have the rights of UK citizens who currently reside in other member states.
Nobody's talking about your national identity. The topic of discussion is national identity as a concept.
Disclaimer: Not a doctor or in any medical profession, my opinion is formed from just general articles and (probably false) points I have generally read.

A few simple points I normally follow:

* Food takes energy to digest. Don't eat a lot just before you need to think, have a small snack instead. In general, smart your day with a small amount of food. If you eat lots for one single meal, assume you will need time to recover.

* Sugar brings you up fast, brings you down faster. If you do have sugar, caffeine seems to be good for keeping you up a while. Carbohydrates can also help keep you up for a while.

* Caffeine is generally good, but make sure to decaffeinate to bring down your tolerance occasionally.

* Protein seems to generally be good for brain growth and maintenance.

* Fats in small quantities are apparently needed for neural connections, but those can be got in many forms.

* Iron to prevent anemia (which a surprising number of people have).

In general, stuff that is good for the rest of the body tends to be good for the mind.
Should probably click the link before commenting, fox news didn't conduct the study or come up with the rankings - us news did.

It also breaks down into different categories, one of which is quality of life.
I never got Zines. Beyond their cutesy art style, they generally don't seem particularly effective at conveying information in a somewhat concise manner. And if you don't want to be concise, why use such a very visual medium then and not just write an article?
> who is a friend

Do not cofound with a friend, as simple as that.

If you really want to be that generous with your work, get him on on commission and no flat until he can put in full time. Make it generous if you wish, even up to a third if it is sustainable, but never share ownership/voting power with family and friends.

Also, two cofounder is a good way to get stuck in decision bickering. Aim for three or one, any even number managing product direction is not going to work.
I'm so glad the generation that lived through the cuban missile crisis saw it fit to elect a president into office that would bring those terrors back so that my generation could experience it as well.

Interesting. It is 11 month old but I am seeing this first time. I guess Rust has tried something similar though not to great effect so far.
I love how the U.S.'s spends their money on missile defense while Putin spends money on more powerful nukes.

It says alot about the different midsets of the two countries.

I can't agree with you that this one is 'on NATO' and not Russia for that reason.

If they devoted more money to missile defense then the war would escalate between more powerful defense systems instead of more power systems of destruction.

Putin is a power hungry monster that will destroy the world before looking bad.
I've taken to simply sitting with my eyes closed for ~10 minutes around 2-ish. It's a very pronounced feeling of shedding all the accumulated 'cruft' on my brain from the morning's work. I also plan less 'smart work' in the afternoon, so things like catching up on email or reading literature/learning.
I don't understand your idea. Gravitation squashes collisional matter together, heating it. The hot matter radiates, allowing it to fall deeper into dense structures. I don't see how this cools non-infallen hydrogen, rather than lighting it up.
What I've learned burning through about 5 co-founding relationships over the years is that, whatever you do, you need to have a 3-month probationary period where both parties understand they can leave with minimal loss and no hard feelings. Moonlighting is fine over this period (see the point about minimal loss). If he's good and really sees value in your idea, he'll get a LOT done over evenings and weekends, if not, he's not co-founder material, period.

A cofounder needs to be ridiculously motivated, self-aware, and hard working. 95% of people who would make good employees wouldn't make a good co-founder.

Another tip: if someone is hesitant about sales, he is not for sales. Good sales requires genuine enthusiasm and persistence. Especially in the early stages, where it's all about winning hearts, and less about "sales playbooks" or established processes. I heard Dharmesh Shah (CTO at HubSpot) describe early stage sales pipelines with two words: non existent.
I think that's not exactly wrong, to refer to "a few monster hits", but you didn't mention his single best investment, which overshadows all others. General Growth Properties turned a few million into almost $2 billion.

My impression is that Ackman is simply a gambler who got really lucky once and that has allowed him to raise money and squander it on a scale that compensates for his successes.

Certain famous investors have talked about how it's not so hard to run across some big winners over time; what's really hard is to avoid big mistakes.

There's something particularly perverse about calling a fund that owns a small number of risky stocks a "hedge fund", I might add.
We got the Apollo program out of the last arms race, maybe this time we'll get a settlement on the Moon or Mars?

There is an enthralling article in The Intercept by incarcerated hacker Barrett Brown about his time playing DnD and other RPGs in prison.

He also details the spinner:

> With unlimited paper and pencils provided by the federal government, we had everything we needed except for a set of variously sided dice. It turned out that this was generally handled by making a spinner out of cardboard, a paperclip, and the empty internal plastic tube from an ink pen. This latter item is impaled loosely on the paperclip, itself positioned in the center of the cardboard, on which has been drawn a diminishing series of concentric circles divided into 20, 12, 10, 8, 6, and 4 equal segments, respectively.

'..it is in my best interests to make it as painful as possible for Brexit.'

Thanks for that.
Because MAD only works if destruction is assured. Missile shields prevent that so Russia has to figure out a way to penetrate those shields to bring MAD back.

I have never played any of these games, are some of them without competition? Like everyone is on the same side? It wouldn't work in that case. But all you need is one person picking numbers to be on an adversarial team in order for this to work.

Only one? Most of the countries with nuclear weapons program seem to be adding to their arsenal at differing paces, but adding nonetheless. Is there a country whose nuclear weapon stockpiles are absolutely static or has even shrunk, or will shrink in the near future?
Yes, that is possible. Though I assume they're going through this process because investors have wanted to sell their shares.
I'm going to talk about a counter case that happened in real life, where a journalist was put on a "kill list" by the US Government. If you haven't read the entire [Drone Papers](https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/) I highly recommend doing so.

The government basically had a naive likelihood analysis program that attempted to group terrorists. If someone went to the same places as terrorists, in about the same schedule, then the system came to the conclusion they were a terrorist. In programming we use the duck metaphor - "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck."

What occurred was that a journalist who was interviewing these terrorists ended up on the kill list. In theory the human element was supposed to filter out such things - and I'm sure that's what the developers of the system intentioned. It's also clear the human operators were simply rubber stamping everything the system produced, and allowed a kill order on a journalist to go out.

And if you're discussing evaluating types, then our duck solution is just fine. If you're discussing firing hellfire missiles at unarmed people, then we probably need to take a step back. Predictive algorithms and network analysis are naive - they're fine for recognizing pictures of dogs and cats, or pinging a friend when you upload a photo with their face. They're not sufficient to apply to policing or resourcing, especially since algorithms display the exact same bias as their input data.

System designers, including myself, often expect human elements to act as reliably as algorithmic components. The truth is that humans are lazy, biased and easily prone to pavlovian conditioning (The system showed me a dialog, when I click OK the thing I want to happen happens.)

The other truth is that frequently these systems, even if they are honest - they show likelihood percents, their flaws have been explained to their operators, they were made with the best available data - are too complicated for most people to grasp. Most folks can't schedule a meeting across five calendars without assistance or get email marketing correct. Do we really expect them to grasp the nuances of a statistical network analysis model and correctly interpret the results on a repeated basis?

The solution is that we need to stop pretending an algorithm is a replacement for human decision making in these life or death cases.
What you call 'real' friends maybe are friends to which you assign a high value due to cooperative behaviour that's sustainable long term.

As soon as this behaviour expectation is broken, you'd probably not consider them 'real' friends.
A scheme is not necessarily kept a secret.
I'll reply to your points one by one:

* Postpandrial crashes are insulin-blood sugar crashes. Just keep the glycemic load in check and you're good to go.

* Carbohydrates can also make you crash hard afterwards. Unless you start snowballing them, but that's a horrible idea.

* Effects similar to that of caffeine can be obtained without having to resort to psychoactive drugs. Meditation, for one, can have a tremendous effect on focus.

* Brain growth? What is that?

* Some fatty acids are essential for survival as we cannot synthesize them ourselves. Also, why small quantities? Dietary fat is generally by no means a bad thing.

* Exactly. And I'd go further and add some electrolytes and other vitamins, too.

Edit: I'm also not a doctor nor a medical professional and this is all based on opinion, papers I've read and personal experience.
