>I’ve stopped recommending it to non-programmers because I think much of it’s magic is knowing how much of it is actually possible in the future.

That's sad. Recommend it and they either pick it up and read or don't. That's up to them but why not give someone a chance to be inspired, experience that magic, and think about these things?

There are more non-programmers than programmers. They spend money on and vote on things that have an effect on what's possible in the future too.

I read it as a teen, am a non-programmer, and still think about it two decades later. Everything we read can help in how we approach the world, especially as the years go by and we experience more of it.

> I'd say that the lion's share of culture is learned.

I would say that the majority of what makes a given culture unique and different from other cultures is learned. But the elements of culture that are shared between cultures are probably based in genetics.

Also, regarding Darwinian vs. Lamarckian evolution: my reading is that epigenetics is mainly comprised of some interesting phenomena that, when taken together, don't really account for that much of the genetic variety that we see in humans and, thus, are more of a fleshing out, rather than a revolution, of our understanding of genetics.

> A little guidance to people who may be in a similar situation. Just get what she wants.

This is, frankly, very bad advice. If you don't care about the money or your values are aligned with buying an expensive natural diamond, then sure, go for it, but that's not the person who needs advice in this situation anyway. Arguments over money are a leading cause of conflicts in relationships. Failing to address a disagreement on a large purchase like this and the underlying values that cause the disagreement are quite likely to cause conflict in your marriage.

Personally, if a potential spouse felt strongly that an expensive natural diamond was necessary, I'd consider it, but I'd need to hear some good reasoning. In the absence of other information, wanting an expensive natural diamond indicates to me a very large mismatch in values between me and the potential spouse, and I'd want to understand that mismatch before we commit to sharing finances and teaching children our values.

I don't view this as "fighting her about it", either. It's not me versus her, it's us trying to gain a better understanding of each others viewpoints and using that understanding to assess our compatibility.

>> " I think she was very worried she would be judged by other women for not having (or being worth) a "real" diamond. "

> Your projecting your own ideas on her.

Alternate theory: maybe he talked to his wife and she said that. It seems that you're making a very large assumption that the poster hasn't talked to his own wife about this.

No ex-convict wants to return to prison. However, they've just been put in a position where all of their peers are also criminals, and getting a well-compensated job after release is incredibly difficult, especially if they do not already have specialized skills and education. So it's very easy to fall back into bad habits, especially if that's how they were paying the bills.

Destigmatizing a criminal record when it comes to hiring (or anything else for that matter) would help a lot, but the government doesn't seem too interested in helping out with that (though I hope the current low unemployment rates help in this regard). Prison education programs would also help. If the government is going to lock people in little boxes with other criminals, stigmatize them for the rest of their lives, and seriously contend the point of it is to reduce recidivism, they need to be doing this sort of education at the very least.

I see no problem with this. The Diamond market today is nothing but a scamming and exploitation.
People need something to put money in. They work, they run a surplus. They need to keep it somewhere. You could keep your local currency or buy some other but hyperinflation is a thing and also plain inflation can eat your money in few decades. You could buy property but it can be bothersome to pick, buy, hold and sell. You may end up with a loss if you are unlucky or need money back quick. You could buy gold but it can be easily stolen.

People need gold but better. Bitcoin is just that assuming bitcoin network survives.

I get that, which is why the whole thing is such a shame.

I hate that people don't just get what they want. I suppose I could be projecting, but it's like when someone shows off their engagement ring and the diamond is quite small, but then everyone has to act all amazed and find ways to gush about it. Sure, maybe they wanted something simple and modest and not too flashy (which I definitely agree with), but it just makes me think how much better off everyone would be if they bought a non-diamond ring with the same amount of money (or less!) and had something more special.
Whether there's an advantage that'll sell you on putting the time in, I don't know, but JetBrains' IDEs are my goto alternative to vim when I'm either stuck using Windows or need more IDE features for whatever language I'm working in. The vim bindings are probably the best I've used - there's still some mismatch, but for editing at least it works great.

So, if you ever feel the need to try it, CLion (which I would assume is on par with ReSharper C++) in vim mode may be a good option.
Extensibility.

Every command, even pressing a letter, has a corresponding function. Utilizing ELisp you can essentially make the editor do anything you want (and because of that and how long it has been around...everyone has already made it do anything you could want).
Perhaps you don't understand how this attack works. An attacker A sends request to 1 million memcache servers with your IP. You get 1 million replies from 1 million different IPs completely whipping you offline. So you won't be sending anything for a bit and even if you did, you're fighting 1 million memcacheBots to you need to take them all offline before your modem can breathe again. (its probably on fire at this point)
Finally, since you are being attacked by memcached servers responding to a request that appeared to come from you, you can't figure out who your attacker was. Nevertheless, if you have a good hunch don't let that stop you from committing a felony against your competitor.

Except it's not just what a small minority of poor people wants if the government can agree enough to pass it. Also, there are actually and real concerns about waste and resource usage that drives the want to repair rather than purchase new devices.

Idea: GyroSkillz, Immersive Gaming. Doable?
My first post at HN, after very long time..

Just telling about this idea hoping it is doable and someone does it..I can't do it.
If it is already there then please do tell about it.

The idea:
Create a system where when player character collides with something in the game world, the player movement in real life is blocked/restricted accordingly.

How?
By creating a gyroscope like thing with exoskeleton in it, which the player gets into it and controls his/her game character with player's movement.

The exoskeleton will have at least 2 types of movement blockers...strings for weak body parts like fingers and hydraulics for trunk and thighs.

There will be a bounding box/sphere around player character in the game, and any triangle or mesh that intersects with it will be transferred to this gyroscope/exoskeleton (GyroSkillz) computing unit for collision detection and will stop any body part that has collided.

This system is about collision with the game environment...not only movement...it is for everything like stepping on stairs or going up a ladder or fighting in skyrim with axe...etc.

This if made, with StarVR or PiMAX will be excellent.

Gamers might turn into hulks.

GyroSkillz can be used for many other applications too...not only gaming.

I hope this can be done...and can be DIY with a 3D printer and parts from Amazon...and open-sourced software for the computing unit.
For every Shkreli that gets locked up there are hundreds of others that walk free. They wanted to make an example of him - it doesn't help that his character is almost a cartoon-villain of sorts.

Recently we evaluated to use them to backup 25TB of data. Unfortunately their client sustained bandwidth was about 3 MB/s and even less for app that came with DiskStation. This is on 100 Mbit/line that normally gives that speed sustainably.

Here's what we just witnessed.

1. Companies were cornering certain drugs, then hiking their prices up significantly. Shkrelli did the same thing (but stated he was willing to give it free for anyone who asked). Note, that this is not illegal in any way, but news was all over it and citizens were pissed.

2. Shkrelli, being outspoken, became the focus of this issue. He dug a hole for himself, but concerning drug prices, he did nothing illegal.

3. Prosecutors, needing to do something got him on fraud charges where he misstated information on an investment but still tripled their money.

4. Shkrelli goes to jail, news and citizenry quelled. Companies still free to continue cornering the market and jacking up prices with impunity.

That's how you get away with this stuff. News made money with the story. Companies made money with their drug hikes, politicians and prosecutors look good because they took action, Shkrelli investors made money. Shkrelli lost, patients lost, taxpayers lost. Rinse, repeat. Systemic corruption.
Except this investigation was already in progress when the drug price thing happened.
The good news is that the Wu Tang album Shkreli bought is forfeit and can now presumably be released to the public.

Okay, yes, to be clear, I don't disagree with you here. Certainly literature and especially grammar classes can be a part of this.

I'm about to set up a NAS device at home for personal storage am looking at cloud providers for an offsite backup. I was originally going to send stuff to AWS glacier since my offsite backup is pretty much only going to be for disaster recovery (fire/theft etc).

I turned into the opposite for real world directions. I let google tell me where to go, only rarely deciding a different route on my own. And sometimes that's not exactly a fully formed different route but I want to go via a certain way (e.g. non-freeway) and hope google updates the rest of its directions to accord to that wish. It's taken me on some weird paths but whatever.

My excuse is that I grew up in Utah, which has a fairly consistent and ordered grid system with addresses almost always mapping to grid coordinates, so given an address you don't need any special directions. You might still go to a main road because it's faster, but you could instead optimize the Manhattan distance without effort. Traveling elsewhere with places so fond of nonsensical street names and non-grids, I gave up actively building a mental model (I have an ok spatial model of my surrounding area in Bellevue/Redmond but I've been here almost a decade...I have no idea where most of the street names in Seattle proper fall and haven't bothered to learn any of the mnemonics people have suggested) and let the machine tell me what to do.

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze with Yev.

> we realized that we didn't need to be charging that much for downloads

To be totally clear, Backblaze can keep going lower. Backblaze buys bandwidth at about 2/10ths of 1 cent per GByte right now, and it drops by maybe 10% per year. The only reason we don't go lower faster is that we are trying to "ease into" this. Internally we are afraid of hitting a tipping point and attracting too many customers using the outbound bandwidth too quickly. The Backblaze network capacity is currently built out for an extra 500 Gbits/sec or so of outbound bandwidth that we aren't using (ready to sell to customers), and it takes time (a few months) to provision more bandwidth. Sometimes the bandwidth providers have to trench to our datacenter which takes like four months.

So if we drop the price too low too fast and enough customers show up that would require a total of let's say 600 Gbits/sec capacity in less than 30 days, we might not be able to keep them all super happy and we might get a black eye. So we want to "ease into" this to continue to provide top notch service while we figure out how much of a market exists for inexpensive outbound bandwidth. The ALTERNATIVE strategy would be to massively over provision, but if not many customers show up then we have wasted money. Since Backblaze is profitable and not funded by Venture Capital, we do not like wasting money. :-)
Lol! Yes. I think we're both confused. Let's just leave it.
