It's worth remembering Ben Graham's 1949 parable on Mr. Market:

https://www.fs.blog/2013/11/mr-market/

Basically, every market is basically an insane, irrational, manic-depressive, uncaring business partner who gives you the option to buy his share or sell yours every day, as long as market hours are open (in the age of cryptocurrency, this is 24/7). You are under no obligation to take the transaction, though. If you believe the price is too high, sell. If you believe the price is too low, buy. If you don't believe anything, hold.

Crypto and the stock market are no different in this regard. The short-term price is equally irrational in both. (There's pretty good evidence that wash trading is endemic in the stock market as well - wasn't Goldman Sachs caught taking both sides of a transaction in the 2009 financial crisis? And many derivative strategies explicitly rely upon being both long and short at the same time.)

The difference is that stock market investors have mostly figured out how to value stocks on fundamentals: the intrinsic value of a stock is all the discounted value of all future cash flows accruing to the equity investors. The intrinsic value of crypto is zero, unless, of course, it manages to replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency, in which case its intrinsic value is infinite, or more accurately the dollar's value is zero. Your estimate of the fundamental value of a cryptocurrency should be based on your assessment of the likelihood that it will replace the dollar as currency.
What you describe changes the name from "index" to "WIP commit", keeping the same semantics. Along the way, you now have a "commit" that doesn't behave like a commit, further adding to the potential for confusion. I strongly believe that things that behave differently should be named differently.

If they are using some sort of middleware orm, which they may well be because of their model, they are most likely using an EAV[0] schema which, although flexible for writes, is horrendous for reads. The join plus pivot is a disaster on virtually any relational system.

Thanks. Very insightful. Hopefully UK parliament will pick up on his obfuscation and prevarication when they interview the CTO. For what it’s worth, I don’t think MZ was straight up today - and as legislators realize that, it makes it more likely FB will be broken up. If not by the US, then because the EU will force it. I’m seriously unimpressed that MZ has not grasped his situation.
The LLC wouldn’t have provided much protection anyway.

https://ipbreakdown.com/blog/owner-liable-for-his-companys-c...

In general, most people misunderstand then “limited liability” of LLC’s.
What do you mean by "allow access to financing"? A fair number of founders maintain their stock ownership through an entity like an LLC. This could be for all sorts of reasons (tax planning, separating assets/liability). I would expect a potential investor (or their lawyers) to ask for the reasoning behind the structure, but assuming it's a relatively simple answer, that would be unlikely to have any major effect on the investment decision.
I use submodules every day, never had a problem with them. What do people complain about when it comes to them?

My mental model is basically that they're separate repos, and the main repo has a pointer to a commit in the submodule. Do your work that needs to be done for the submodule, push your changes, and then check out that new commit. Make a commit in the main repo to officially bump the submodule to that new commit. Done.

The annoying part is when you do a pull on the main repo, you have to remember to run git submodule update --recursive.

> but nobody ever says "If your project/team/environment/etc. look like this, then use this model."

Honestly, its because a lot of it comes down to preference and what value you gain from using version control. It is very much like code style standards -- it doesn't matter what is in the standard so much as your teammates all using the same one.

If part of the blocker for your team is that no one is experienced enough with git to have a strong opinion, I'd be happy to brainstorm with you for an hour to learn about your current process and offer a tailored opinion.

You can rebase between two local branches. The rebase operation has nothing to do with pull or remote vs. local.

Ransomware Decrypts Your Files If You Play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
What krupan and kazinator are saying is that you would use exactly the same command as today, i.e git add -p etc.

However, unlike today, those commands would automatically also do the equivalent of:

if HEAD is marked as WIP
then git commit --amend
else git commit --special-wip-flag

As somebody who understands and uses the git index, I would wholly approve of this change.
Same reason you can't drug up or taze the special goose to produce more golden eggs.

Long term high intensity output will lead to burnout, even if the salary is 10x people would struggle and crash. Pushing at 100% full enthusiasm is like sprinting, it is not possible to maintain that intensity for very long. It can be fun, it can be productive, but the wiser approach has the long-term and end in mind.
That is much more a result of the much higher basic cost of living vs those other states than it is CA's progressiveness when it comes to taxes.

I'd be willing to bet that if you adjusted the brackets for cost of living, CA is taxing the poor more than those other states are.

>Vastly superior to Android Studio.

Last time I installed Visual Studio that pig sprayed 30 GB of garbage all over my SSD.

>Google replaces Android Studio plugins at each major release.

It's how the IDE is updated with new features. It also doesn't need third party plugins, like Resharper, to actually make it useful.

>It already started over 4 times, with incompatible build systems.

How many build systems did Windows phone have again? Be sure to factor in the Silverlight clusterfuck.

>Not as much as at Google IO. Oh sorry, maybe you are right we don't feel the cold as we are taking care of our sun burns.

At least they have sunny weather as opposed to depressing weather followed by depressing keynotes. Hey, let's open with a 2 hour Azure demo. Did people actually pay to go to this?

>There is no such thing as Windows Phone specific conference, there is only BUILD conference, Connect conference and Windows Developer days.

Which is why I specified Build.

>Android Studio wins in bug counts.

I'll take that bet any day. I've used Xcode and it has its fair share of bugs. As for VS, when you're spraying 30GB of files your bound to have a clusterfuck of bugs.

>Strangely, you cleverly forgot to mention Genymotion.

Really? Do they also make an IDE for all 3 platforms?

>As for Microsoft their Android Emulator still runs better than Google's on Windows.

No it doesn't. It's not even comparable. Perhaps you should install the Android Emulator one of these days and compare them. In fact, I'm not even sure the Microsoft Emulator even works anymore. Do they even update it?

>Maybe Google needs to do less inverted balanced tree whiteboard interview exercises and more OS related stuff.

They have Android, Chrome OS and Fuschsia so they seem to be doing well on the OS front. As for Windows, you better hope Microsoft is prepared for the release of a free, modern, real time microkernel OS with a capabilities based security model.

Eh, are you equating, ahem, "sexual services providers" with trafficking victims?

For some reason, every major prostitution bust catches quite a few working girls and johns, but actual trafficking victims are few and far between. And every time I read about a "massage" parlor bust in a paper, it's always "such and such has been charged with pandering", not "such and such has been rescued from the clutches of Backapge-enabled traffickers".

Not to say that it doesn't happen, if there were trafficked sex workers "all over the US", someone would have pointed a few by now. Chances are you'll find them in less public-facing businesses anyway. But busting those doesn't make moral crusaders feel quite as good.
I could be wrong but one could open a bank account in a different state. In this case he formed a business but did not make a profit or sale or employ anyone for 6 years. It doesn't make sense to form an llc unless you require it. Start smaller.

It's basically the overhead of typing -a ... so git commit -a rather than git commit. It's not such a big deal. it does take a while to get used to the git "pipeline" tbh but when the rare occurrence happens you have this option, on source control systems without this option you just don't have it.

Why isn't MySQL serious? It has powered many popular sites.
> Facebook is neither a utility nor monopoly.

I agree: I don't have the same concerns with Facebook as with, say, a monopoly ISP.

That said, in both cases I think there's an opportunity to define customer data as containing a responsibility and liability, so that collecting it is a double-edged activity and there are potential repercussions causing companies to guard its dispersal with more care.
You do know you don't have to form an LLC to try out a business? Just got for it as a sole proprietorship and file an LLC later if it starts working.
A recurring theme I've seen is senior dev's not asking other devs for feedback. While it's obviously something that would be great for the junior dev, usually senior devs tend to prefer to be the reviewer, not the reviewee. But I think this is to their folly; and certainly inhibits any juniors on the team.
Show HN: Gource visualizations rendered without a GPU
> You can't open a bank account in a CA bank without proving that you've made that filing.

I have not found this to be the case, at all.
This is a project I have been working on after having multiple requests to create Gource videos for various projects. I got tired of murdering my laptop with gource/ffmpeg processes so I set out to get it done on an EC2 instance. There are a handful of Docker containers out there that do gource videos, but they all suffer from two major drawbacks. They are all headless, but all still require a GPU, and secondly they generally like to output raw video eating tons of disk space.

My image has a handful of configurable options, if time permits I would love to add more.

I do have my videos templated out a bit, I have a border separating the date and key from the actual video. This originates from another script I have which creates quad video output so you can compare 4 git repos at once in the same video. I used some sed hackery and named pipes to keep everything in sync. I hope to be adding this script to the container soon as well. Let me know what you think!
Lawyer here, but not your lawyer. We're just talking about generalized nonspecific hypotheticals here.

You aren't required to incorporate at all (but in many cases it's the best course for mitigating risk). People start businesses all the time without forming a separate entity. However, in the eyes of the law, that means that you and your business are one and the same. So if the business does a Bad Thing, you as an individual are responsible for all of the consequences of such Bad Thing. Similarly with taxes, all of the business' income gets attributed to you as an individual. Most people don't want these two things to happen, so they form an entity. You can go without, but it comes with significant risk, and you may end up forfeiting favorable tax treatment as a result.

These same issues get more complicated as soon as you involve others. Talk to your accountant. And consider what your risks are and how much your business is going to make. Find legal assistance for small businesses, or talk to a business lawyer as soon as you can.
I had a Samsung plasma TV about that long ago and it started to show notifications every time it turned on that some service I never used was being decommissioned.

Same experience as https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/TVs/Annoying-notificatio... but with a different notification.

I don't think I'll buy a Samsung TV again after that, and I don't connect any TV to the internet anymore.
It looks like it could; the timer isn't the problem (they're just entries in a queue), but #'shell-command-to-string call might be. It's a synchronous, blocking call (at least on my Emacs 26, running (shell-command-to-string "sleep 5") hangs the whole Emacs nicely for 5 seconds).

Personally, I'd reimplement it the way you suggest - I'd put the timer loop in C code to save on repeatedly starting a process, and then make it run emacsclient -e "(change-theme-for-lighting %d)", where %d is a sensor value, whenever that value crosses a threshold.

Alternatively, if you want to keep the entire business logic within Emacs Lisp code, there's some way to make it work too. I'd look into documentation of #'make-process[0]. There's an argument :FILTER that would let you set a function that receives stdout from that process. Alternatively, #'start-process-shell-command with NIL for buffer, + #'set-process-filter should achieve the same thing. So the C program would be barfing out the sensor value every second or so, and the process filter would read it.

(You might also want to read through the sources of #'shell-command to see how it uses the above facilities to handle asynchronous shell processes - the ones you invoke with M-x async-shell-command - but I think it'll work out of the box, and the process filter will only be executed as new output arrives.)

[0] - in Emacs, type: C-h f make-process. Gotta love the self-documenting features of this editor. Actually, half of my comment is based on what I just read in docs of various Emacs functions. Also, hint: make sure you install Emacs with sources - then you can easily jump from help buffer directly into code implementing the thing you're reading about.
I'm curious if any HNers have any ideas for ways to use off-shore status to protect your website from frivolous libel claims. I run some forums in the automotive industry that have been around for about 15 years. I take pride on being pro-free speech and loosely moderating things, only taking down obviously illegal posts, copyright infringements, etc. Despite that, I still occasionally get legal threats from people who have gotten their feelings hurt. In one case, the threats came from an actual attorney who was representing a shady commercial seller who got into it with some of our members.

I would love to move the ownership of the forums to some sort of arrangement (offshore) where they are essentially immune to frivolous libel claims. I want attorneys to look at us and tell their clients that it's simply not worth going after us. Is there such a place?

edit: I forgot to mention that my site runs no ads and makes no money whatsoever...a rarity in the forums world. I keep it like this because I love the hobby and I hate all of the other shitty forums sites that are filled with adware garbage. Given this, it's a real hardship when some attorney threatens me with a lawsuit because I just don't have the cash to properly defend myself.
Read up on https://zwischenzugs.com/2018/03/26/git-log-the-good-parts/, it’s good and practical stuff.

I recently aliased `git history` to `git log --graph --all --simplify-by-decoration`, and have `glog` as `log --graph` (and so seldom use `log`).

If you’re earlier than Git 2.12 or so, you’ll need to add --decorate to get the branch and tag names shown.

I don't know if Sam has ADHD, but these tips are very compatible with those that I use to manage my productivity with ADHD.

ex:
paper lists - physical stimulation from writing is rewarding, and re-writing things helps reinforce importance and accommodate for bad memory / executive functions (bullet journaling works great for this reason too)

skip breakfast + am espresso - I prefer medication for stimulation (game changer) vs caffeine, but breafast can definitely be a distraction. Removing unnecessary decisions in general helps me not go off track

AM blocked from interruptions - super critical for me to have time without people expecting me to respond immediately. this is prime "hyperfocus" time for deep work

Sleep hygeine - many adhd'rs struggle to sleep since their mind keeps running, indicas are preferred among my friends for helping with that. Personally I fall asleep better than most so its more of a matter of not giving into temptation to stay up late with my night-owl husband.

Needing to be interested to work on something - definitely a hard requirement for me. Those periods of low motivation / brainfog are relatable too. I'm not sure if it's burnout, overstimulation catching up, weed messing up my dopamine (I try to take a month or two off per year to keep that in check) or just that the world is sometimes too boring.

Tempted by "productivity porn" - I'm bad about totally buying into a system (ie, GTD) and using it perfectly for about a week before getting bored. to be fair, it's not bad for a week, but sometimes I use it to avoid doing other things which is a problem.

Exercise - I dont do this enough but I probably should. There's a semi prominent ADHDer (Peter Shankman) who swears that it makes a huge difference. But I dont lean towards the hyperactive type anyhow so it's not as appealing to me.

The only thing I might add would be that making time for mindful meditation, 15 min a day, has been tremendously helpful in maintaining a healthy emotional state. Practicing non-reactivity and learning the value of not dwelling excessively on negative thoughts and experiences really gives your mind more time to think of better stuff. Self forgiveness is a big one too.

Anyhow, if anyone is able to use Sam's advice to reduce stress or reclaim time for themselves, it will have been worth the writeup. Always love reading this kind of stuff.
I'm skeptical of Bloomberg's take, or at least that the details will really match it.

I've loosely dealt with Japanese financial regulations (while working on some projects in the insurance industry). My impression and the impression I got from people working much more closely with said regulations than me, is that they're very strict and rigid, much more so than working with US regulations.

I think it's likely that they might "allow" them, but with strict and stifling regulations that eliminate most interest in them.

You don't need to understand how media is encoded to watch a movie or listen to a song. You don't need to understand the on disk format of a Word document to write a letter.
