>50-year-olds have decades of savings and stock market and real-estate appreciation to fall back on if they find themselves unemployed.

That's a lovely stereotype, but far from the truth; which is why so many people are working into their 70's these days and why reverse mortgages are on the rise.

There was an article in the newspaper (You can Google what that is) recently that noted that more than half of Americans have less than $5,000 in retirement savings. A similar number live in apartments.

The whole "decades of savings" thing is a cultural myth that Millennials use to make themselves feel like victims. Somehow they think they're the only generation that's ever been through hard times.
Less Toil, More Coil – Telemetry Analysis with Python
There is no way for it to be more cost effective to truck a load long haul than it is to pay for a forklift operator to unload your truck onto a rail car at one end of the haul and another forklift operator to do the reverse operation at the other end.

The reason it isn't done this way is certainly not the amount of labor.

Tax Free Storage Wars
Interesting idea, but I don't think it works in practice.

I have foods and spices scattered across many cabinets in my kitchen - just like every other family in the world (except for a few hunter/gather families). Making them all autonomous vehicles would be expensive.

I also sometimes come in at random times and snack - the fridge with the snack I want better be there, not out to the store to be refilled. This again is a situation that every family in the world faces some variation of.
That's possible because your computer sends airplay streams to all airport expresses at the same time.

However, you can't really do that with a phone, since it eats battery and needs a stable wifi connection.

AirPlay 2 solves that by allowing the phone to buffer minutes of audio to one speaker, which then distributes that buffer to the rest of the speakers.
Even simple things are hardly self-driving at the moment.

Take trains for example. No need to steer, have priority over anything else and basically can't brake.

Yet, a limited (and mostly subway) trains are self driving.

We have hardly any self 'driving' robots in day to day life. Those would be a lot slower and lighter.

Given that we have no industry standards for those kinds of things, it would be surprising if even one is considered safe enough in 10 years. Let alone that they would be mandated.

What makes them work at the moment is that they formally have to have a human in control. Same thing as an autopilot in a plane.

But a few more deadly mistakes and the whole concept may get scrapped.

Do you mean you are happy with being sold a tariff promising X amps while cutting you off when you do use those X amps?

Look, I dislike Bitcoin too, but what I dislike even more is companies making money promising X and then actually cutting you off should you dare to use that X. At the moment, the "miners" are paying for an energy tariff that promises them X and are using X; the fact they're using it on Bitcoin is completely irrelevant, the problem is that a company is making money on false promises and somehow the buyer is the one at fault?

We've already got this bullshit with "unlimited" data, let's not set a precedent by tolerating this for energy tariffs. If the grid can't sustain everyone using 100 amps then they shouldn't be selling 100 amp tariffs and should switch to "burstable" tariffs with a continuous allowance of let's say 50 amps and a "burst" allowance of 100 amps for X seconds.
The article is about someone who is collecting data. If you're not collecting data, you can just reply saying you don't have any data about them.

It's definitely important. My point is simply questioning whether it's really critical to always get it right from day one. Certain types of refactoring like public -> private really aren't always that hard in a closed system. I've done it many times with a few clicks in my IDE. Of course the difficulty depends on the nature of the change and the type of abstraction you need modify; but to me the difference between public and private is pretty low on the list of things that create big headaches. Especially in Java where unless you're using immutable objects everywhere, hiding something behind a getter that performs no additional logic is often useless.
The thread hints that there is a niche of consumers who do like domestic "efficiency" apps, but suggests it's too small to be profitable. But, unless you plan/assume to be the next Facebook, your product is probably going to be niche anyhow.

Aha, I tried a few obvious 16s but not that one... thank you! I guess we'll add it in. The last few dumps (other sources) I reviewed contained nothing over 15 characters, but I'm imagining they will start creeping in as more folks demand longer phrases.

Still, I'd bet the vast majority of the bad passes are <16, seems a heck of a waste of energy and bandwidth to check my user's passphrases against (guesstimating) 0.05% of the corpus.

In Facebook’s early days, everything you put on the site was shared with your friends. So it was not “private, personal, info” but rather the opposite — information that users wanted to publicize widely. I have never put anything on Facebook that I care whether Mark Zuckerberg reads or not. It would be weird and creepy, for sure, if he was looking at pictures of my baby, but I willingly shared those with over a thousand people so am happy to share with one more.
The ability to quickly use your PR for a system that was overly private is beneficial, but is still decidedly non-zero in terms of time and effort. The PR has to be written in the first place, for example. And that's before we get into whether upstream even accepts your patch without modifications, or even accepts it at all.

No, but I was not arguing that the government _should_ be able to regulate _everything_, but that when negative effects can be identified, "it is in the privacy of my own home" is not enough to counter that -- the negative effects spread beyond your home, and detrimentally effect others (in a concrete way, not just that it is something they don't like).

I would think the ingredients could be processed in parallel.

For example, the Chocolate Chip Cookies recipes quotes a total of 9 years 29 weeks to make everything, but really the longest lead item is the vanilla beans @ 4 years. So really it's a 4 year process isn't it?

That machine, while great (PC Engines, their best offer, Coreboot, good value for money), is designed to be a DIY router for running e.g. OPNSense.

You're probably better off with a NUC such as a Zotac or a Chinese knock off (example [1]). Why? Because given it has more horsepower and native hardware extensions for virtualization it can run VMs more efficiently.

This is being downvoted likely because "Mark was a kid", but in many ways he was right. A priori, there is no reason to trust any website or company on the internet.

The fact that people trust Google with intimate search queries, or trust Facebook with their personal photos and info, or trust Apple with their messages, or trust a website like Amazon in shopping is really amazing. They are all private companies that are, strictly speaking, beholden only to their shareholders. And for whatever reason, people either forget that or erroneously believe there is legislation governing their behavior.
Explaining why it's a false equivalency would be more helpful and create better discussion.
The English and French version are pronounced like doosh. The German version is pronounced more like doosha. Final e in German is not silent. It is a schwa sound. It looks like Spanish would be closer to the German pronunciation.
I see no reason why "they've screwed up before so it's okay if they're being dismissive and intransparent" would ever be a valid argument. The point of excusing past mistakes is that they are learning opportunities.

If anything, the filesystem permissions bug only makes this worse because it was a destructive bug in a widely promoted release (even if it was technically not supposed to be stable -- npm employees actively recommended using it on twitter) and npm's reaction was fairly dismissive (because it's not a stable release for production use, dummy).
This also assumes that as each step is solved, it doesn't require a continued human presence. I.e. if you develop electricity, the electrical plant needs to be automated and run itself without human (or computer) interaction. The laws of entropy are going to come into play eventually. You might not be able to keep everything working for long enough to make meaningful progress.

Flagged because there's nothing interesting or hacker related here, just general politics and Trump.
Absolutely no idea why Stephen Miller and others in the Trump Whitehouse are preoccupied with stifling all forms of immigration into the United States.

If your main argument is that immigration is bringing crime (it isn't) and flooding the market with low skill labor (which... is consistent with our history) I don't see how you can go after a niche like this, which is both low volume and high skill and actually creates middle-class jobs for Americans.

Is there a sentiment that native-born entrepreneurs are losing out on VC cash due to immigration?

Would you buy a car which can drive itself in good weather? Many people would, because depending on the weather the car would just drive itself most of the time and you could just chill out.

If the weather is good it drives itself. If the road conditions change then it asks you to take over.

If I could get an automated driver 50% percent of the time or more then I'd take it without hesitation.
When I first created a Venmo account, I was shocked to see users' payments flowing through my feed and immediately found a way to make my payments private.

But I could never find a way to effectively unlink the social media account (FB) that I had used to find my first friend/payee. I think I unlinked the account, but I still see payments from all the people that Venmo made me follow as a result of linking the now-unlinked FB account.

I haven't used the app in a long time, and I wonder if this mass-unfollow feature has been added. I know they think that people open Venmo to check their feed, but some people find the public feed creepy, and it makes me use the app less in favor of alternatives.
I'm confused.. I can't find a written guide - just a series of lectures.
If the deployment is using docker (i.e. haproxy in one container, the sidecar in another), “local” TCP can be a big bottleneck. I was using TCP for redis over a local docker network, and got a huge speedup after switching to Linux domain socket mounted in a shared volume.

Anyway, the project looks nice, I will be checking it out. But for production deployment the local HTTP would be a dealbreaker for me.
It takes a few clicks to make everything private. Either way, I deleted my account last week because Venmo is killing their website and forcing Android/iOS only.

I'm not even sure why Venmo caught on, it is the worst option out of all the possible payment systems (fb, Google pay, sq cash...) since they don't deposit cash received into your bank account and rather hold it interest free.

As your ending suggests, older developers tend to rock the boat more. As their bosses tell them to do something, the old timers see failures of history repeating themselves and try to steer the direction elsewhere. Younger devs fall in line much easier.

It can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Some older devs get hung up on bikeshedding and tunnel visioning about old specifics instead of just getting work done with whatever the new environment is. However, this problem is far more represented in the big slow-moving corporate world, and go-getter active old timers looking at startups wouldn't generally fit that stereotype.

But if 2 devs are agreeably working on a complex project, the old timer will probably be faster to finish than the younger one. For non-complex projects, it's a crap shoot.
From what? Europe is, and has been for centuries, on the offense.

Heck, it had enslaved 2/3rds of the world in its colonies -- (and has still in it's neocolonies, built through interventions and undue influence).

Anything that it has experienced as an attack all these decades doesn't even begin to tip the scales. On a "good" day, old colonial France, for example, could slaughter a few of thousands of Algerians on their own country, just for asking for freedom.

It’s likely a chip in their negotiations with the democrats to change immigration law.

They’ll likely reintroduce some variant of it with sweeping curbs to low skilled immigration.
I think they implemented that change to deal with a denial of service attack in http servers. A malicious client could send a large list of parameters with an identical String::hashCode() value, resulting in a single large bucket. Other workarounds included a size limit on the parameter list or a hash function with some parameters randomized at program start.

The "buy cookies in the store" basically means that there is not enough time to make them so you should buy them (its a bit tongue in cheek). You can increase the time by using the slider or clicking on the cookies so you can get the actual directions. Also, if you hover your mouse over the "Chocolate Chip Cookies" ingredient you can see how much money you save (or lose!) by making them from scratch.

> money in the short term [or] go deep and go for the long term

I think these are never contradictory, at least I think software jobs allow for the flexibility to keep working on high-yield things while learning something for depth on the side. (Or vice-versa, if you live off your side job, and do/learn something deeper/longterm.)

Especially with network, virtualization, security, distributed systems (DB, storage), etc. the ideas that are trendy now are spin-offs of older things. (Docker is basically LXC with a sane UI/UX, which is just chroot done better, a'la BSD jails, which is just Solaris zones, which is just IBM mainframe partition shit. Similarly everything on the network, like overlay networking, VXLAN, Geneve, OpenFlow, etc. are just natural layering abstractions and applied trade offs that were considered silly a decade ago, or were simply not needed a decade ago. Now that north-south traffic is dwarfed by east-west traffic in every system [this means that north is the client, south is your "DB", and east-west just means services in your system, and since people nowadays use a lot more complicated systems, the inter-component = intra-system communication is huge, compared to the few MBs sent to the client].)

This is incredibly tragic, and equally, if not moreso, tragic that this is not in the least bit surprising given that the administration's response was to belittle and attack the people who were on the ground trying to save lives and crying out for help. There is palpable irony too in the administration's relentless crowing and insistence on massive increases in military funding, and yet when it comes down to brass tacks in a situation where the military could have been leveraged in an all-out, no-holds-barred operation to save the lives of thousands of American citizens, they chose not to and instead focused on pathetic, flimsy excuses ("big water, ocean water", heartless arguments about PR's financials, etc.) instead of demonstrating true leadership. These are truly dark times we are living in, and it is tremendously unfortunate that the poorest and most vulnerable of our citizens bore, and continue to bear, the ultimate and final costs in the form of their lives.

If the underlying project is unsupported, and you're only using a part of it, and the licenses permit, I'd suggest just pulling the relevant code into your own. That eliminates the underlying criticism of "depending on code that no one is maintaining" by showing that you will maintain it.

Sentiment analysis as a rigorous process exists to help machines that do not possess natural emotion processing to understand human sentiments. If you are the one having your own sentiments, why would you offload that to a machine? Unless you have a broken emotional processing center yourself, but in that case I doubt you could record meaningful sentiments either.
