When you set a boundary like that (X is a Y because of reasons Z1, Z2) you gain systematization leverage. You now have a technology or framework for which you can develop various tools and other informatic resources.

So even if it doesn't necessarily matter what people call you, it may be worth your time to understand where and why they set boundaries and conditions for activities in which you are involved. This could save you a lot of energy that might have otherwise been wasted in repeating hard lessons. Even if you are less "don't reinvent the wheel" and more "NIH" and just want to learn in isolation, you could also gain some helpful tips on defining your own boundaries.
The manager (not owner) of a local storage facility lives extremely frugally: eats bananas, oatmeal, an apple and sandwich he brings from home. He has a number of stocks he watches daily after he finishes various tasks. He's the prototypical "millionaire next door."
It seems over negative as well. There are a couple of simple things that may help with CO2:

1) Exponential improvements with wind solar and batteries. They are all getting like 50% better / year. Project that and you can fix things

2) Re the confusion over different approaches, we have a solution and its called the market. Just have a global $50/ton tax/credit on emissions/sequestration. Politically hard but otherwise would likely fix rising CO2.
If the 7% number he's quoting is real returns rather than nominal returns (which historically it is), inflation is already factored in. Total nominal returns (including dividends) have been 11% over 1950-2009, with inflation running at 3.8% over the time period:

Our minds are largely associative computers. Virtually all human thought consists of comparing something to something else. It can be meaningless, but it can signify an important concept as well.
I've use Go's context based cancellation, and while I like the paradigm, it's kind of verbose. There are some that say that since it has to be passed everywhere, and can store values, it's equal to Goroutine-local storage. I'm would be surprised if they don't include a formalization in the language itself in version 2.
The Liberal Media Can Have Ideological Diversity Without Conservatives
Yeah, that's the point I mentioned in "6K is easy to save today but wasn't in 1955".

I'm interested to see an analysis that takes that into account. But I don't think it changes the overall conclusion. I think that starting in 1951, on a secretary's salary, you could have used an indexing strategy to end up with $8.2M. Should be pretty easy to prove or disprove.

One thing I don't know is how much secretaries made back then. Presumably her wages increased a non-neglible amount over time.
A company called Algenol was researching CO2 -> ethanol using algae and I thought it might be the answer but they seem to have kind of given up for now. It worked but not cost effectively. There's a bit of a post mortem here https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/lessons-from-th...

As I understand it, stackless and stackful coroutines are an abstraction used on top of evented IO. They all use epoll, kqueue, etc. under the covers.
But that kind of distance was pretty normal for me too growing up in Brisbane Australia in the '90s.

Though that statistic is skewed by me being a nerdchild with few friends...
One thing I'd like to add to the discussion is the difference between edge-triggered and level-triggered notifications. Quoting from the Linux Programming Interface (Kerrisk, 2010),

> Level-triggered notification: A file descriptor is considered to be ready if it is possible to perform an I/O system call without blocking.

> Edge-triggered notification: Notification is provided if there is I/O activity (e.g., new input) on a file descriptor since it was last monitored.

The two different types can affect the way the program is structured. For example, the same book says that for level-triggered notification, generally when a file descriptor is ready, only one read/write operation is performed, and then go back to the main loop. Whereas for edge-triggered, usually I/O is performed as much as possible, so we don't miss any more opportunities.

In practice, you usually want your file descriptors to be non-blocking, for many reasons (like writing a large enough buffer can nevertheless block even when the file descriptor is initially considered ready for writing), so even for level-triggered notifications you can read/write in a loop.

Personally I believe edge-triggered notifications can make program design slightly simpler, though I'm not exactly uncertain how much simpler. I'd appreciate if my comment would invite a more detailed and nuanced discussion about those two.

Good for you that you can afford that. We all know the dream of the internet was information gated behind pay walls only accessible by the well off.
Yes, but startups are shitty and wavy by nature, it stabilizes with time. While culling the contractors, they might lose sight of something important and get into the next crisis. I don’t think there is any other way around. Sometimes it’s even external factors like wars and financial crises like the dinosaurs of the automobile industry had.
Well, it's not only relevant to marketers. Your two most innocent examples are not the only type of information that's going to slip in there.

And even with those two examples, you just have to be creative to find ways for them to damage you:

You'll probably have to pay more for your health insurance, if they find out that you enjoy motorcycles.

And if your next potential employer is vegetarian, they might pass on you for fishing, a.k.a. killing things as a hobby.

Someone wanting to rob/extort/kidnap/murder you, might look for you at lonely lakes in the region.

And these are the most generic examples of this supposedly useless information being used against a person.

Someone who happens to have an actual use, is going to be even more creative, since they'll find themselves in some particular situation where it's useful.

And again, there's going to be more information. They can sift through an entire list to find the ones that are useful and they can combine multiple pieces of information, too.
Do you have a source for that? Wikipedia makes it seem like most of the people followed through with the experiment.
Meet HN: Want to get together?
I recently read the article on finding friends over 30 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17008944) and thought HN was as great a place as any to form social connections offline.

If you want to get together, post your city and what you'd be up for, or respond to one from someone else.
Yes go would fit into the green thread bucket pretty well.
Ask HN: How do you automate developer onboarding?
What tools do you use to automate the on boarding of new developers, and the setup of new machines?

We have a bunch of dependencies that need to be installed, scripts that need to be injected into their bash profile, configuration files to update, etc.

Right now, we have a messy collection of Bash & Ruby scripts that the developer has to run (and continuously run as updates are made). Wondering if theres anything better out there?
Absolutely, I would call it an extra 30+ years, since she retired at 96 and many people retire at 65 or 62 these days.

In other words, the length of time has more to do with the remarkable sum than the investment strategy.
Friendship is worth it. Loneliness is a serious threat to your health. It keeps your cortisol levels elevated. The effect on your health is comparable to a bad smoking habit. According to this study, mortality goes up by at least 26%: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25910392

Anyway, what's the point of having a lot of assets if you don't enjoy your life at the end?
Where I work, our programs are first installed in QA, then staging and finally production. For each step, there's a web form we fill out, listing the release number, tracking system ID, what program, any config changes, any database changes, any special instructions and what testing have been done. Once submitted, the OPs team pulls the proper program from the build server, updates the config and pushes the stuff automatically (I know they use something like chef or ansible, but I'm not in that department (which is on the other side of the country) so I'm not sure of the exact details).

For the final push into production, the developers have to be online (2:00 am Eastern), along with QA and OPs. QA or the developers can abort the deployment [1] for any reason, and rolling back is trivial. So far in my seven years at The Company, I've had to abort a production deployment once (yes, I noticed an issue and aborted the deployment---it was totally my call).

[1] Our customers are the various Monopolistic Phone Companies. We have scary SLAs. We get approval for deployment from them. Downtime costs us Real Money. I don't get to deploy stuff all that often (stuff that doesn't talk directly with the customers is easier to deploy---unfortunately, most of what I work on talks directly with the customers).
Nothing's guaranteed but the odds are very, very good. If you invest in a diversified index fund like VTI then 7% is a reasonable average growth estimate.

Investing a lump sum is a risk -- you'd cut your fortune nearly in half if you invested in 2008. This isn't an issue for most folks who save over time.

Frankly, the largest thing stopping folks from investing is financial literacy. The second largest thing is probably lack of disposable income.
Define developed? Properly developed countries such as Norway and Australia have quality public education systems. Sure, parentage always helps with the outcome, but the facilities are there for all children to do well - should they choose to do so.

These countries also have universal health care.

I am not religious, but regularly attend my wife's church. I agree with this. Church really does provide a great community. I'm very curious about what a secular alternative to church would even look like. I get to meet people of all ages from all kinds of backgrounds every week. I have made friends of all ages (at least one in 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s). These aren't just people I know, but people that I could call, if needed, and they would help me. People who would gladly come over to my house for dinner. I work from home, and would have little chance to meet new people if it wasn't for church. Its been quite a surprised to me, as an atheist in his 30s that church would become an important part of my life!
Sorry for the late follow up. Hopefully you're still around to notice. Apparently there was previous HN discussion on this, but I haven't seen it (or looked for it):

I don’t disagree and my closest friends have recently dropped because I hit a bump in my career and/or politics (ostrasized from offices, destroyed resume), it was pretty hurtful for a while. “Your network is your net worth,” makes me want to not even go interpersonal again but I think an expectation realignment is a better path, invest more broadly. I’ve also gotten more into meditation/study again but lack of benign social interaction shows. In our city of origin we were a fraction of the passionate programmers so we stuck together, now all in SF there are more dimensions (eg. my new connections are primarily from fitness activities, service staff met at concerts or high end lounges).

I wish I had people I felt I could trust like a friend again though, and also understood+got excited by the nerdy stuff. Everyone has their hustles. Takes time I suppose, a couple people I know could turn to friends. Hacker Dojo 1.0 was awesome, seems like hacker spaces have more general appeal now, can’t imagine parties like that again... but I do still know a handful from that era, 1-2 could be friends. I am connecting with relatives, feeling silly for neglecting them for 20 years.

Anecdotes, hopefully helpful and not too self-focused.
Very cool. I made a Pi thermal printer photobooth almost exactly two years ago that worked on the same principle, although I wasn't crazy enough to try and cram it into a Polaroid shell. What seemed like a simple exercise turned into more research than what I thought I had tolerance for on a side project. IIRC from my experience there were two big problems: 1. versions matter when it comes to printer drivers, OS, and your hardware combo, and 2. the data buffer on thermal printers is not big enough for what you want to do (which is why it spits out random chars and symbols instead of your photo). The printer I was using had a buffer pin but ultimately I was short on time and patience so I opted instead to use imagemagick to convert and compress the photo before sending it to the printer. I used the booth for my nephew's birthday party and it survived real world use pretty well. You got a nice physical souvenir (I also added a "Happy Birthday" + date overlay to each image) and I set up a local server on the Pi that let people browse the digital versions of all the photos with a framework called Sigal. Very fun hardware project and I intended to publish a writeup outlining all the sharp corners I navigated but never got around to it.

Reinforcement Learning – Bandit Problems
SpaceX has been using supercooled propellants (and "load-and-go") for every launch since early 2016, including NASA cargo launches. It's been used over thirty times by now. Whatever additional assurance that NASA's advisory board wants, another few launches are unlikely to provide it.
You have to question a business model which only turns a profit when customers are paying for something they don't need. Unless they can negotiate favourable deals their only path to profitability is delivering no value to a high percentage of subscribers.
Dissapointing. I was looking forward to how you would try and debate my points. So you agree that there is value in decentralization?

I'm not here to debate the profits or moneymaking schemes. My only thesis is that Bitcoin has value, and one of the drivers of that value is it's decentralized and global nature.

>What's going to happen when/if the cost of mining goes above the value of the bitcoin?

There are simulations/discussions on this, and we're not sure.

But the thing is, for the cost of mining to be over the value of bitcoin it would require a huge coordination of miners. Even now, when we saw Bitcoin lose a lot of value it immedietly resulted in a big amount of miners moving to other cryptocurrencies. This then resulted in difficulty reducing, and profits rising back up to previous levels.

But I will admit that, similar to a black swan event, a "bitcoin mining death spiral", could be possible.

> In practice, you usually want your file descriptors to be non-blocking, for many reasons

I think I know what you're saying, but in practice this is exactly backwards.

Usually you're doing I/O for some practical reason and want to do simple, well-defined, typically sequential processing on the results. Which is to say blocking is your friend and you shouldn't be mucking with parallel I/O paradigms if you can at all avoid it.
> California lost a net of approximately 1 million residents between 2007 and 2016 [1].

The study doesn't say that, it says there was 1 million in net outbound domestic migration. It doesn't discuss population change due to international migration (inbound and outbound, legal or otherwise) or natural increase/decrease; in fact, California gained, not lost, 3 million people between 2007 and 2016.

Hence the "but you can integrate to answer that".

If your rocket has a 50% chance of being explosion proof and a 50% chance of blowing up half the time (you could imagine this as any number of situations, like two otherwise identical rockets which you use), any given launch has a 25% chance of rapid unplanned disassembly.

You can do the same thing over a continuous random variable.

I think your program confirms rather than disputes my comment.
I was initially put off by the format (slides with an aesthetic that is... definitely not mine), but there's a lot of good material here.
Nobody's suggesting doing such though (yet the comment seemed to imply someone had). The suggestion was to save a meager $10K/year, which is tiny relative to the salaries of most people on here.
One of SpaceX’s stated reasons for using the same thrusters for maneuvering as for launch escape is to give the system many more flight hours. Every unmanned Dragon flight is also a test of the launch abort system.
You're correct that I should not have used the word residents in my quick interpretation of that study. However the study I linked to is directly relevant to the comment I replied that I replied to, which was about too many transplants arriving. Too many transplants are in fact not arriving, because as this study indicates, 1 million more people left than arrived from other states.

in fact, California gained, not lost, 3 million people between 2007 and 2016.

Most of those gains were through births to existing residents, which says nothing about California being a destination for transplants, which was the point that I was refuting. Children born in California generally don't have a choice as to whether or not to live there. Adults do, and on a net basis, they are choosing to leave.
The article addresses this question.

"While net-zero remains an admirable goal, getting there is not yet cost-effective, state officials and experts said. And it fails to address the state’s ultimate goal of curbing global warming.

Because electric utilities now rely on renewable energy for much of their power, daytime energy already is quite clean, said McAllister, the lead state commissioner on energy efficiency.

At night when there’s no solar power, people come home, turn on the lights, the TV and possibly the air conditioning and start pulling power from the grid, he said. Some gas-powered generating plants then are fired up to help meet that additional load, boosting carbon emissions.

“That additional (home-generated) solar kilowatt-hour isn’t worth very much because it’s displacing what is already clean energy,” McAllister said. “That net-zero home is not a net-carbon-zero home.”"
