Definitions are complicated, it feels like they should be static when the definition of what a front-end developer does is always changing as technology comes up with different mediums like smartphones, watches, VR, etc.

I've thought about this a lot and I would say something like this:

A front-end/UI designer is concerned about the _user_ interface with the application, that is, how a user interacts and utilizes an application.

A front-end developer is concerned about the _client_ interface with the application, such as what browsers support what and how you can work with that, screen sizes and how to best utilize them(can't have a full word processor and keyboard in a smartwatch), how do you flow data through the client in a way that it doesn't hog the system's memory or makes everything slow, tradeoffs between server-side and client-side rendering, caching, optimization, optimistic UI, unstable connections, progressive enhancement and graceful degradation, and much more.

Of course, this doesn't mean a front-end developer/designer won't have to dabble in both roles eventually.
Interesting idea. However I suspect that in such a secondary market most liquidity/volume would only exist last minute, making it less likely to improve yield optimization (for airlines) or consumer choice (for passengers).

It's baffling to me that the overbooking problem is solved at the airport, minutes before take-off.

Think about how excess seats usually come about: a passenger doesn't show up because of some unforeseen circumstance which occurs last minute. By the time that passenger decides they can't make the flight, it might be too late to generate sufficient demand for that ticket. Potential buyers of that ticket have to be packed and ready to go. And where do we find those people? At the airport.

The population of people who are super flexible in both destination and time is probably not sizable enough to generate enough volume in a secondary market.

RHEL/CentOS has a reputation of keeping up zombie software that is long unsupported by upstream. It's their model and their problem, rest of community shouldn't IMHO care. Hardly any projects have resources to keep compatibility with their ten-years-old releases and backport every fix.
Don't forget Amazon's "CodeCommit". That's what we use because we don't like the insane politics of GitHub.
Sleep. Sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep is the key. I cannot stress that enough. Sleep and schedule. Wake up at the same time every day, no. matter. what. Don't stay out late just cause it's the weekend, don't go out partying just cause your friends are. Don't pull an all-nighter just to get an A on a test or meet a deadline. Once your sleep gets out of whack, a manic bout is not far behind, and that's 6+ months of your life turned into chaos. If you find yourself staying up all night, unable to sleep, that should be a huge warning sign.

I speak from experience. Lots of it.
That's actually a positive feedback loop.
Can you really compromise on safety guarantees?

Isn't doing so just a rewrite of C++ ?
I'm sympathetic to the ban on ticket transfers since allowing that would create a market for ticket scalpers. Buy up inventory on a popular route well enough in advance so the prices are low, wait until the flight fills up, and then resell tickets for a higher price.

This is what currently happens with tickets to music and sporting events, and you end up with actual attendees spending more money than they'd otherwise have to pay, while random predatory third parties pocket the difference.

I met someone a couple years ago who admitted to me that she was essentially a professional ticket scalper, buying up tickets to shows she knew would become popular and would be able to make a profit on. She was careful to purchase in a way that was unlikely to get flagged by Ticketmaster's (and other's) systems to detect this sort of thing, and always stayed under ticket maximums and avoid shows where transferring tickets is harder to do. She was actually supporting her entire lifestyle doing this, without having another job. I found it pretty gross. I don't want to see this happening with airline tickets as well.

I've never seen standby tickets on sale in a first order way. Usually, it's when you're on a rebooked or connecting flight, they'll offer you standby on a better (but sold out) option.

Quote from the article: "Until literally a few days before, this entire ad sales team at Facebook was literally telling every politician with any budget that Facebook can actually hand them the election."
An IQ test (there are multiple types) tests crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence. The way I have heard them described is basically crystallized intelligence is a test of accumulated knowledge/previously seen patterns versus fluid intelligence being the ability to see a pattern in a novel situation and figure out how to solve the novel situation (on-the-spot problem solving). They are linked. I have also read from different sources that high fluid reasoning can lead to an increase in knowledge acquired. For the SAT to be a genuine determinant of the difference in ability we would have to have all people taking the exam to have the same preparation(school/sub-culture/country/teachers and pre-test work). One could compare it to an IQ test in the sense that it is testing learned information with novel problems? IIRC the test correlates with college/university success because it can showcase the combination of inherent skill and preparation necessary to succeed in a college environment (I would assume this is heavily debated).

Here is the Wikipedia article on the difference if you want to look up sources or dive into this topic more: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_and_crystallized_intel...

Good. The stigma around bipolar is absolute hell for those of us who have it. Having rational and largely unemotional conversations about it with friends, family and co-workers is a near constant struggle, when even possible. Just mentioning it is enough to get responses like, "Yeah, but everyone has a mental health disorder!" to change the subject.

Hopefully the social stigma around even discussing mental health will go away in my lifetime, but I'm not holding my breath.

I've never completely understood why this was the case. If I'd be theoretically capable of finding a friend (or even complete stranger) to sell my plane ticket to if I found I couldn't travel, then it should be equally easy for the airline to do so. And yet, refundable fares are often significantly more expensive than non-refundable fares.

I can certainly understand and support some kind of monetary penalty for breaking out of a reservation, but it seems like airlines err too far on the side of making you think twice before canceling or changing your plans after the initial 24h window is up, and penalizing you heavily if you end up doing so.
Well, you didn't address the 'monotonically increasing version numbers' part at all, while still proclaiming: 'it's not that hard'.
Interesting, I didn't know that.

Roughly 1.5% of my friends list was deleted. Probably closer to 1 as I think some of them deleted a long while back.
Airlines are very interesting companies that have a difference sense of economics. Mainly though, outsourcing is core to their business at every level - booking systems and the rest are externally provided, flights are outsourced (code sharing), consultants + contractors + agencies for as long as the eye can see. Hell, even the lounges aren’t ran by the company (they’ll be outsourced to a hospitality company).

Adding on an additional technology provider is nothing out of the ordinary.

> If all the knowledge of YC gets democratized, anyone from anywhere can thrive at a business without going through YC

Hardly. Most of the knowledge is out there, and more.

Here is how I think YC can rocketship you:

- Access to capital. Suddenly, you are visible.

- Legal advice from top experts.

- Network of startups and guys that connect with you.

- Massive interest from media (vs. if you were a noname out there)

- Pressure to achieve. You are more pressured to give results along your peers.

- Forcing you to move to the bay area. A good idea since the startup scene is still centralized.

I am a little unsure whether Facebook truly isn't as addictive as heroin, or that it couldn't ultimately be as the algorithms improve. I find it as pernicious as alcohol, for my personal, subjective, experience.

Why did the article cover a basic term like "outlier" under "Terminologies related to regression" but omitted information about how to evaluate a regression model? I liked that there was some information at the bottom about "How to choose a regression model" that mentioned "you can select the final model based on Adjusted r-square, RMSE, AIC and BIC" but providing a little more context would make this post even better. Perhaps a link to a future blog post on the topic?

Sorry, I missed it. Deleting.

Edit: missed the window. Sorry about that.
We don't have a lot of tools for demonstrating that we've improved learning. Testing is one of the earliest indicators. There's nothing wrong with improving test scores; it's generally a good thing. The problem is when we focus on improving test scores to the detriment of learning. Similar to a startup optimizing on metrics to the detriment of actually growing the business.

Building a narrative into the educational process (e.g. by teaching history early and regularly) seems like an effective way to get kids engaged in learning.
To be fair, they do share a lot of their knowledge openly. Just check out their YouTube Channel and blog. There are no secrets or tricks.

But I guess YC is more than knowledge. It has a strong signal effect, and the regular OH sessions you get with the partners potentially can help you a lot (even though you already might know what they telling you, but like a fitness coach, it helps you stay on track).
Plus the alumni network, which I guess is especially valuable for B2B businesses and future partnerships.

I didn't go through YC but know some people that have and I think that what it breaks down to.

I'm pretty new to this but isn't that an easy problem to solve - not hand over the work until everything has been paid? Currently working on a backend project and I've asked them for an initial payment (which I got promptly) before starting the work and now I'm letting them see the project on my own infrastructure (they can interact & play around with it), but I'm not handing them over the keys until everything has been paid for.
Martinez is so articulate, you're almost inclined to believe he's infallible. And in this case I think he's wrong.

What likely really happened is Zuck et al were drinking the Koolaid about a more data-driven world and competing accordingly, without anticipating any public backlash. It's easy to believe that Big Data is a world-redefining panacea without consequences when you view yourself as a morally responsible steward of said data.

I've been deep in the data trenches, as it were, and very rarely is there much of an incentive or impetus to look up from the ground and ponder the potential ethical ramifications of what you're doing. Martinez did well to point out the difficulty of extrapolating second-order effects when it came to data-driven ad targeting.

A similar thing happened to Obama with the NSA - he obviously couldn't imagine a scenario where a tool like that might be handed over to the whims of a less restrained administration.

Also, the idea that Zuck would write anything about the political ads without consulting BD (Sheryl and others) is laughable. Not sure why Martinez would think that's even remotely possible. Zuck was almost certainly read into the situation immediately and has been firefighting ever since.
It's sad that these politics might win because the Oracle cloud is one of the worst products I've ever used, especially from such a massive company that could easily put out something better if it wasn't the epitome of misery in customer relations led by clueless management.
Ok, we'll give it a 360° turn above.
They have a really solid approach and keeping each step really straightforward and discrete to avoid overwhelming you with too much to think about at once. It still fails really hard when you get to anything outside their flow. I had to spend time googling the awkward set of steps needed to deduct mortgage interest. Ultimately, it wasn't hard, but it wasn't at all obvious how to do it.
Note that they'll also have no avatar if they never set an avatar, and further if they deleted their account in the past, before the latest hoopla. So this way of estimating the number of people who have deactivated lately necessarily provides only an upper bound on the total number of deactivations.
You're serious? What's healthy about that?
> The KDE team spent a lot of time just developing the tools required to do it

KDE was a special case because we wanted to split a monorepo into one repo per application at the same time, yet retain as much history as possible (including across restructurings of the source tree). Also, the massive size of the monorepo (about 1.5 million revisions) made it infeasible to use the standard tooling of git-svn to do it.

Most projects will not have these problems. At work, I migrated a rather large application (~500k LOC) from SVN to Git while retaining the entire history, with the standard tooling (`git svn clone && git push`, basically).
Sad day. Thanks Art. Thanks for great entertainment during long drives, late nights.

I think it's a media attention thing. Flights are overbooked all over the world, and people get involuntary bumped. I just did a couple of searches for "[lufthansa, british airways, qatar, emirates] overbooked", and it's not exactly unheard of. It's a relatively rare event, though, but one that caught US media attention due to the pretty gruesome removal of Dr Dao last year (which wasn't even an overbooking incident).

There's also the factor of the uniquely dense and complex nature of the US domestic network. More flights with more connections make for more uncertainty in the system, to which overbooking is an answer.

Unlikely, although they do probably keep a listing of accounts not to restore. And of course you'll age out of their backups over time as well.
I completely agree, I'm thinking about that. I should probably specify the grammar and make my tm->html converter open source. And probably allow to store on a personal git repo so that nobody is afraid to be locked in. So many interesting things to do, and so little time :)
This is where laws and regulation can come in, and its not just about Facebook, data about you is being collected and sold without your consent. What kind of person you are (to advertisers) is not being decided by you but by the data collectors and you have no control over it.

I don't think they would lose too many people, Facebook does connect families and friends in a way that provides real value to people. The people who quit Facebook this week will probably be back on Facebook in no less than 2 months and I think everyone would be more comfortable using Facebook if they can control how their personal data is collected and sold.
For the time being, I still use netflix, amazon, and hulu streaming services. If you've ever used the apps for any of those services on roku, apple tv, or a smart tv, you're likely frustrated by how difficult it is to find something relevant to watch. I often think, "Who thought this UI was good?" That thought leads to, "What if the interface is purposely bad?" and "Why doesn't Hulu want me to find anything to watch?"

I don't know how licensing works with these streaming services. I'm beginning to think that because these companies license content from third parties, they have an incentive to discourage people from watching anything. Maybe if you don't watch, then they pay less in licensing fees. The ideal profit scenario is for you to subscribe to Netflix's service, but not consume any content. If you pay Netflix, but never watch anything, they don't have to expend the costs to deliver content to you (licensing and bandwidth). This gives Netflix an incentive to create algorithms that obfuscate content rather than a smart algorithm that suggests relevant content.

Does anyone else get this feeling? Does anyone know if licensing agreements are set up on a pay-per-play basis between studios and netflix?
Microphones, clock hardware, light sensors, geolocation devices, Bluetooth hardware, WI-fi hardware, and accelerometers are all small enough to fit in an electric toothbrush handle alongside a battery and a toothbrush motor.

One could write software which runs on the toothbrush and reports back everything it can sense in the area. This grants the upstream provider up-to-date information on the environment where the toothbrush is. It's not hard to see how this is profitable in an age where spying is big business. This need not have anything to do with dentistry. Businesses are typically more interested in making more money than they are in adhering to someone else's vision of consistency.

How this data is used is, as always, up to those who possess a copy of the data, and utterly indefinable now. For all we know, it might be handy to know that a Bluetooth device with ID XYZ was present near a given set of global coordinates at a certain time of day and date. Asking how the data is useful is hard to say specifically like asking why a library (public or private) would have a copy of a particular work -- that copy might be useful to someone someday and it is easier than ever to get the public to cooperate in their own loss of privacy by framing every issue around convenience.

That goes the other way too: Pretty much anyone who doesn't develop good reading skills, at least somewhat, won't read for pleasure.

Past a certain age, there are no interesting things to read that are also readable for a person with weak skills. You won't find a romance novel with a vocabulary like The Cat and the Hat.

Correcting the problem is not cost-effective for a school. I did it once, for a 14-year-old I cared about. I had him read college-level science textbooks out loud. At first, I had to correct him every few words, repeatedly explaining phonetical rules and insisting on proper phrasing. ("You just blew past that comma.", or "There was no comma or period. Try again.") This tedious routine went on for several chapters. No normal school will do that for a child.
I am glad to see this topic being approached openly on HN. I was diagnosed a few years ago after a series of life changing episodes which eventually lead to my hospitalization.
