Not really... I've known hard workers, they work hard, no success, they work hard, an unlucky event intervenes, they work hard, still no success, so on and so on and so they ask: what's the point in hard work? Can you blame them? Even to be a hard-worker implies that you've been lucky enough in life to see a correlation between hard-work and success.
> Because they learn from mistakes and can make it better the next time!

Well, except seemingly learning from the mistakes made when introducing breaking changes.

I not being a cynical jerk bashing on WebPack in particular here. I use it every day and am grateful for its existance, and look forward to the point where migrating to version 4 is going to be relatively painless, at which point I'll actually give that another try.

But on the whole, it's like nobody in the JS world seems to learn from the mistakes of other JS projects and they have to make them again themselves.
the author assumes deleting his data via facebook api actually deletes it?
This is fascinating to me - I know LinkedIn is valuable, and lots of people describe it as an essential account they can't get rid of. Meanwhile, I can't work out what LinkedIn is even for.

I update my profile there occasionally, but only to not have out-of-date info being spread. It occasionally produces a low-quality contact or recruiter spam. That's about it. My peers don't keep theirs up to date, my employers don't use it as a major hiring source, I don't trust endorsements there as meaningful or predictive. The interface is enormously frustrating, and it's not even a particularly good job board.

Is there just a parallel ecosystem of people who engage with LinkedIn so deeply and consistently that it forms a real network? Is software just a low-LinkedIn-use field? What on earth are people doing on that site?

> the problem with social is us.

No. Facebook proudly does specific psychological experiments on its users. Facebook intentionally decides that it will make some users sad or depressed, just to see if it can. And it can. And it is proud of it. Facebook is proud that it knows how to make you depressed, so much so that they published a paper describing how they made hundreds of thousands of their users fall into a depression.

Facebook is a fucking poison. The problem is not with us. The problem is with large scale propaganda networks and centrally-controlled social networks with misaligned incentives. The problem is Facebook and the core problem is the structure and incentives of corporations in our current not-well-enough-regulated capitalism.
Yeah, often it's ad-supported App Store / Google Play titles, where one developer uses the same engine with different assets to make many games and hope someone accidentally downloads them and clicks the ads.

I suspect the problem might be on topics like this, the human mind has a bad habit of becoming impractically pedantic. So, when I write "ultra-conservative Islamic people are given a free pass by progressives and feminists", your mind interprets that (correctly) as an absolute statement, rather than a (correct) generalization.

> I'm not sure what part you mean should be mathematically identical it seems like a strange measure for social interaction, too many unknown variables, and too many individuals.

This was me returning the sentiment of extreme pedantry.
Agreed.

I don't love the misappropriation of randomness in some social sciences (in this case "luck"). Outside of maybe quantum effects, there is probably no randomness in the world. Maybe those quantum effects can compound in some way to make it truly unknowable to figure out if I'll get hit by a bus today or not, but I doubt it. There're just properties of a system that are unknowable at this point because of our lack access to resources/technology to observe the system.

CSS works fine for Text markup. The problem is you get two models one where the Browser picks where stuff goes depending on the browser and local settings, another where the designer makes that choice. You can't have both things exist at the same time, on top of that most designers don't know what they are doing.

Even if it were strictly true, this ignores the fact that the ability to work hard is mostly determined by one's genes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2762790/

The main merit there is to have the right genes.

Uh, excuse me, if you think medication doesn't work, then you are indeed a conspiracy theorist. Have a good day, Ma'am.

Another common feature is that conspiracy theories evolve to incorporate whatever evidence exists against them, so that they become, as Barkun writes, a closed system that is unfalsifiable, and therefore “a matter of faith rather than proof” (Barkun, 2003, 2011)
I've been blogging a lot more in the past several months than before, recently on the order of an article per week or so. My process is this:

1. Add bullet-point-length ideas to a to-write list

2. Decide to write a post and pick the subject (which comes from the to-write list maybe 25% of the time)

3. Bust out the rough draft

4. Read it for grammar/spelling/phrasing review

5. if (edits > 5) goto 4

6. Share the draft among friends for feedback

7. if (edits > 3) goto 6

8. Publish

Whole process takes 1-3 hours per article.

Facebook and the endless string of worst-case scenarios
During my 20s, I was in graduate school and I had no money. Now I'm in my 30s making good developer money, and while I have a mortgage I also have enough saved to pay it for a long time.

I also have no dependents, which is obviously the big difference maker.
Started my own business with a friend 4 years ago to write funny sci-fi side scrollers, he was then promoted in his permanent job which meant he didn't have any intention of leaving it.

Straight after with a 3d artist co-worker at the job at the time created a relatively re-useable VR ArchViz Engine in UE4 and Oculus Rift, our first client (major Indian construction firm) expected us to give it away for free and subsequently they went radio silent.

I panicked and quickly pivoted to DevOps/SRE consulting and contracting through agencies, which I've happily been doing since then.

Now it's a decision on whether to go back to permanent work (at a relatively senior level) as I'm starting a family or to double down and start hiring.

Simple A/B Testing with Google Optimize
One model I don't see here is "success requiring a certain amount of capitol to obtain". If you don't have the, say, 6 capital to invest in an opportunity, you can't get the rewards for that opportunity. This applies even if you provide debt, since going into debt typically requires having existing assets in excess of the debt amount.

My hypothesis is that the starting capital will impact the distribution of capital more than talent.

Another potential model: Vary the chance to participate in opportunities. Not everyone has equal chance to take advantage of opportunities; someone living in NY will have more opportunities they can leverage than someone living in Iowa (and being able to move to NY is an opportunity in itself).

My hypothesis here is that the chance for being able to take advantage of opportunities will play as big of a role in the final capital distribution as talent.

I have done a decent amount of marketing for several companies, I've been a data scientist and now I'm a software engineer. I am currently trying to get traffic to my side project http://www.careerminer.co I have tried:

email marketing, social media posting, reddit posts / sub reddit comments

My last job I worked at a lending company and we would spend like $10,000 on a direct mail campaign and it would result in like 50 website sessions. We kinda shot down blogging and content SEO stuff as to vague with unpredictable results and the few blog posts we did had like 10 sessions. We focused on email marketing, cold calling, paid ads and direct mail. We would spend like $50 per session on paid ads.

But heres the kicker.

Before the company stopped operations we decided to give content SEO one last shot, we went after long tail keyword content pages, stuff like "what is a good apr" we saw our competitors doing this. All our previous blog posts were like "mini profile : meet joe blogs founder of joes coffee" which never really generated much traffic, it was way to specific and people just don't google that.

Its been a year and I still have access to GA. I looked at it and those long tail keywords pages that we went after are absolutely crushing it like one is generating 1000 new users every month (which I know is still not huge but for a small lending company (boring) its huge) and here is the double kicker, we got a text broker https://www.textbroker.com/ to write each post for like $50. So 1000 a month recurring for $50 or like 1 session for $50. Its just crazy.

I listened to https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/038-dawson-whitfield-of....

>So our first like five months, our growth was 100% fueled, apart from Indie Hackers, by AdWords. We would spend $1.00 to acquire a customer and about four days later, we would get a $1.10

>Now-a-days about 55% of our new users come from organic SEO, we've really pushed hard on that

I feel like this has been my experience with so many companies and friends. But agree with the general sentiment that if you don't have a really clear strategy, keywords, topics etc it will be a "waste of time".
I've seen other attempts to build a community around this demographic before. One I really liked, I even found someone on there and we built a nice project together, though I forget the name.

Do you recall what you focused on when you started? What do you think led to your success and traction?

I find this stuff fascinating when there seems to be an idea that people want to happen but no has been able to get it right. Then finally someone (or some people) crack the code.

Great questions. Specifically for #2 it's hard to say at this point. At present (in it's very early state), I believe they just pick the first result. But the resolution process returns a "confidence" value.

It can probably be assumed that you would be able to set a preference for one module over another, but I haven't found any proof of that yet.
> No. I think you're overestimating how much bad press Facebook is actually getting outside the tech bubble.

If you think Facebook is only getting hammered inside the tech bubble, you probably are living inside the tech bubble.

People are waking up to the harm caused by Facebook everywhere. My non-technical friends' raging against Facebook sounds similar to what I've been hearing from my technical friends for the past 5 years.
What are your opinions on less personal social media sites like Hacker News and Reddit?

My enjoyment with Facebook ceased the moment Edward Snowden became a household name. I realized then how naked my information was in a world of bad actors. I only use Facebook as a simple contacts list these days.

But it’s harder to wean myself off HN/Reddit, as I get more value of useful information from the former and entertainment from the latter, than I have ever received from Facebook, even though both sites can lend themselves to mindless consumption and propaganda/manipulation, like FB.

Is there a “right” way for social media to be? Or are we resigned to a muddy middle ground forever?
Depends on what you define as hard work. There's stories on Reddit's late stage capitalism subforum about a graduated biochemist entertaining customers at Starbucks with random facts; it was considered cute by the original poster, like, wow, a smart barista. While it was sad that he worked hard to get his papers but couldn't land a job.
That’s right: partitioning on stock symbol allows to push down LIMIT 10 to each partition, however in this case with 1500 stock symbols it doesn’t buy us much. It’s actually possible to compute a full group by (without a limit) by on every partition and merge them at the end. Merging 1500 groups is computationally trivial.

Yes, shared mod 3 or other predicate would make it impossilbe to run this query in O(metadata). It would of course burn more instructions so we would have to have a bigger cluster to hit a trillion a second as well as have a complex explanation in the blog post why this matters.

That is not quite true. You might think it's not "indisputable" however there is evidence that corroborates many of the Biblical accounts as studied by academics and scholars [0]. Much of this is archeological, statistical, along with a significant amount sociological support as well. There is generally still some level of "faith" involved in religious beliefs (obviously), however it does not mean that those that hold them hold no scientific evidence at all.

It's possible that you have researched for yourself and have some evidence for your "beliefs" presented by your statement. Many people (admittedly on both sides of the fence) have not done much research in this regard, but in my opinion is a valuable exercise, so if you haven't I'd highly suggest it.

Microgram quantities of californium-252 are available for commercial use through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.[50] Only two sites produce californium-252: the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States, and the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors in Dimitrovgrad, Russia. As of 2003, the two sites produce 0.25 grams and 0.025 grams of californium-252 per year, respectively.[54]

If you keep it as it is, it is an absolute statement as in "I can guarantee that every single time any random person works hard, he will be successful after time X" which is clearly empirically false because ignores all the (extremely numerous) boundary conditions.

The problem is exactly that, there are people who think that it is an absolute statement so poor people, unhealthy people, people in bad life conditions, etc are so just because they didn't work hard so they do not deserve any help.

No. I can tell you speaking to my family and friends that are part of the "younger generation", while Snapchat and Instagram have grown in popularity (both Facebook companies) every person within their social network still owns their own Facebook profile. Furthermore it is still the standard to connect people around the world. Ask any person who has made a non-professional acquaintance while traveling to another country and I guarantee they will use Facebook to stay connected.
Or what? He’ll buy MySpace and outcompete Facebook? Lol! Oh wait...
If you take the fairness out, that phrase is worse than meaningless. It applies to slaves: those who work harder are rewarded to some extent. Does that mean a slave society fulfills the ideals of meritocracy?

Objects vs. Data Structures
>The implication is required insurance forces drone operators to be careful where/when they deploy their drones, for fear of increased premiums/dropped coverage.
>Similar to automotive safety features. Extra air-bags or ABS systems reduce accident, lowering premiums, driving demand for those features.

Sure, I understand that, but it's not the same thing.

An extra air bag still doesn't prevent at all the crash (it may minimize fatalities and reduce injuries of the people inside the car).

An ABS system may - in some cases - i.e. as an example on slippery roads, prevent incidents.

If a car swerves and hits a cyclist the airbags and ABS won't do anything (for the cyclist), and having a separate, protected cycle lanes (not allowing cars were cyclists are) or not allowing cyclists on trafficked high speed roads seems to me anyway a good idea.

An insurance - as said - may increase safety requirements, and each added safety requirement may (or may not) contribute to less crashes, but it's not like it will directly prevent incidents, that is what sounded "odd" to me.
