I've worked remotely since around 2008, both as a founder with employees and as an employee.

Yes, having dedicated workspace is the best way to go, but it doesn't have to be a dedicated office though. Personally, I do have a dedicated office, but I also have equipment to support the hardware development lifecycle, so I need that extra and dedicated space. However, I work some days from the kitchen table, the couch, the patio or wherever I might be. Personally, I find by mixing it up makes me way more productive than if I just sit in my office everyday.

So if I was you I wouldn't rush for dedicated space. Try different places and just mix it up some for awhile and figure out what works for you. 2 days a week isn't hard to do from the couch/table if you personally are productive from there.

https://godoc.org/github.com/rtr7/router7/cmd/dnsd already resolves computer names from DHCP leases. Is that what you mean? If no, can you elaborate on what the use-case is?

Edit: forgot to mention, you can use static leases, too, permanently assigning an IP/hostname to a MAC address: just remove the expiration field in /perm/dhcp4d/leases.json :)
Recently, I have been trying to play video games in the same way as I would read a book i.e. I play the story or the interactive puzzles and events until I am finished or satisifed, and then move on.

I find I get very similar things from a good video game and a good book. Both entertain me, but also educate me and make me think about the world in a different way. The main difference is that each format has different strengths, books tend to change how I describe the world or find insight into ideas and things. A good game changes how I experience the world. "The Last of Us" made me really focus on the sounds around me in a way I hadn't before, "Cities Skylines" made me think of the visible and hidden networks that keep our cities functioning.

Do others have similar impressions?
If you installed Windows 7 on that machine it would probably be slow, though. I think this one was running Android 4 when new. Probably it would have been better with a version made a few years earlier. I looked into rooting it to install a more lightweight OS, but this was my first experience with that and it doesn't seem to be a popular phone to hack.
Disability claims in the USA have soared over the last 10 years, so it’s already happening.
You can fire it up on a Raspberry Pi 3, yes. That’s how I started developing it, to be sure the architecture works before I spend the effort of porting gokrazy to the apu2c4 :)

It can work with any ISP (not just fiber7) as long as you have an ethernet interface and the ISP uses DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 for configuration. If that’s not the case, you’d need to develop e.g. PPPoE support yourself.
> what about sharing it among the people who didn't have the same luck than you?

That's one big thing what taxes are for: To redistribute wealth. And I have employees which earn good money. I don't know what you expect from me.

> Some people can afford to take risks and earn even more while some simply cannot.

That's why a solid social system is so important. It gives us the room to take risks because we can be sure that we can get food, shelter and healthcare. See [1].

Coda seems interesting, but I don’t understand how a single feature (fast light client syncing) can be enough of an advantage to launch a new chain - what prevents a new chain from incorporating recursive snarks as well as some new X in the future? Also, I think that the security of recursively computed snarks decreases as the recursion depth increases so for a state transition in a sufficiently long chain, you might only have a few bits of security, but I’m not sure what “sufficiently long” means concretely.
Why do you need split horizon DNS for that?
While the Delta II rocket launched some memorable payloads, such as the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity, the rocket itself was not particularly important in the history of space exploration, nor does it date to the dawn of the Space Age. Cape Canaveral has hosted dozens of launch towers, and rather than keep them all and never use any of the pads again, they are attempting to find exciting new uses for them. This one, for example, will be used by a company called Moon Express to test lunar lander technology. The best days of the Space Age are ahead of us, not behind!

Once again you are wrong, dismissing the the experience of everyone else and set your experiences as irrefutable facts.

Even though nobody is putting their opinions as a rule that applies to all.

Ordinarily, light wallets compromise on validating blocks, so that’s one benefit.
I'd include quality of life in that too.

Not culture, that's being xenophobic. There's a much easier explanation which is the history of colonialism.
I find it amusing that my approach is almost the exact inverse of the OP.

- If it has the word "quantum" in it, I almost always click it. I like things that are too technical for me. I really enjoy challenging scientific/ mathmatical articles, they are fascinating & humbling at the same time.

- certainly click on very specific programming language links, especially languages that I don't use. I am curious, and try to expose myself to a wide range of languages.

- won't read anything from certain domains, anything of questionable quality or click-baity/ tabloidy, eg. buzzfeed.com. Also, go on rants in comments about said questionable websites & how mad it makes me we are driving traffic & ad revenue to those jerks :p

- will click on the latest iteration of "MLS tutorial for beginners". I AM the right audience, and am highly interested in the applications of training models.

Basically I use HN to learn about things I don't know. I try to expand my horizons, and glean any useful knowledge or information I can from people way smarter and experienced than me.
Always felt Rocket Hall's design for DayZ gets short shrift in discussions of Fortnite's provenance. PUBG is always assumed to be the logical successor. And while it introduced a level of technical polish. It was the emergent, irreverent nature of DayZ that was a new kind of addictive iteration on the genre. And you can feel that same vibe in Fortnite. It's the details beyond the gameplay that make it a cultural touchstone.
FTA:

> That's the worst part about it. In extreme cases, the children were only 7 years old.

In most cases they weren’t much older. “Victim” is the right word.
Semicolons can also be extremely helpful for lists with internal punctuation, especially in technical writing. I recently wrote the following sentence in some documentation:

By default, Gutenberg will look for three templates:
index.html, which is applied to the site homepage;
section.html, which is applied to all sections (any
HTML page generated by creating a directory within
your content directory); and page.html, which is
applied to all pages (any HTML page generated by
creating a .md file within your content directory).

Omitting semicolons from that sentence would have made it much harder to understand, at least in my view.
This can't be a surprise. A lot of firms in the professional services sector have no real assets, just the knowledge and relationships held by their staff. Bankruptcy doesn't transfer such things to creditors, and legal rulings stick with the old entity.
"vitamin supplements", per the article. And some were children as young as seven years old. You're working hard to blame the victims here.

We place a lot of trust in medical professionals. Your doctor gives you a prescription for something - for most people, you take it on the assumption they know what they're doing. (Yes, I realize there's likely a sub-contingent of the HN crowd that Googles everything they take -- but there was no Google back then, and particularly not in East Germany, where almost all of the information you got was carefully controlled). Witness how easy it was for Larry Nassar to perpetuate years of abuse against over 250 children, and that's today in the US.

Even if the trust was simply "hey, this will help you perform better and it's safe", and the "it's safe" part is a lie, it's still abuse. And the things described in the article are actually far worse than just that.
That comment seem unfair, there's a lot of other stuff in the article.
There is a lot of students in Norway who studies what they want with no plan at all when it comes to work.

Eg. a lot of students are studying finance and management or maybe history, but there is basically no demand compared to the supply.
Show HN: A translation file format that's pleasant to read and write
I agree. I often am presented with posts from 2-4 days ago, even when the people involved have posted newer content. This is awful when I'm going to an event or convention and trying to see what people are posting about it. And also, run out of content on IG and FB and it starts repeating posts, even though I follow thousands of people and obviously there is a huge amount of new content available which FB is not presenting. It seems like they select content from a rotating pool of 20-30 people at any time.
This is supposed to be a light-weight, yet strict translation file format that is easy to work with.

I've developed it out of frustration with the translation file formats that we used at work.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!
> a 8th gen i3 can offer approximately the same performance as a 7th gen i5

But is a 8th gen i3 significantly lower price than the 7th gen i5 when it came out? Because using your logic, that would be what would matter here.

If it's not, then it may be due to the availability of Ryzen CPUs, too, which are cheaper for more cores.
Interesting. I orient myself with the sun. If it's midday, the shadows point southish (southern hemisphere). Mornings westish and evening eastish.
That increase in cores doesn't come without an increase in price, so I don't think this reason is as important as you think it is.

I find that that's a terrible way of visualising the theorum, as it offers no indication of why the theorem is true. I much prefer the below picture:

It could be improved by putting -(ab/2) inside the triangles, but I'm on mobile, so making something is out of the question.
Thanks! I think this could be improved further by changing the names of the destination and source flags (all four of them) to make things clearer.

While I'm at it, here's another bug: the last test of the program engine feeds a 5 into j, which breaks things because the counter doesn't expect it at all.
Also the final level doesn't have any tests but I'm sure you know that.

I want to add that besides some issues that have already been pointed out, it's a really nicely made tutorial. I went through all of it pretty fast because I already have a good background, but I would definitely point a beginner to it as a learning resource.
Disagree and think it does the opposite. It can never be done safely and with the crashes and deaths it gives what Waymo is doing a bad name.

There are ASCII equivalents. You can type `\` instead of `λ` and `forall` instead of `∀`. Also `dhall format` will automatically translate ASCII to Unicode for you.

However, if you do want to type them then see:

... and the relevant code points are:

* `λ`: `U+03BB`

* `∀`: `U+2200`
So you test the system with human drivers for a few miles, and if none of them dies then it's secure ? You actually rely on the subjectivity of uninformed users to assess the reliabilty of a safety-critical system ?

>> Not really. It's mostly subjective.

No. The quality of a safety-critical system is not subjective.

>> I think most would generally agree with the quality assessment.

You are not qualified to make that claim, and neither are your users.
"Millions" is an overstatement. Annual deaths worldwide are around 1.25 million. And deaths in the U.S. have declined significantly from their peak in the '70s.

All of that begs the question of whether autonomous cars will save lives. It is always asserted that it will "because humans are such bad drivers compared to computers," but there's no actual, real-world data to back up that claim. Oh yes, some of these vehicles have been tested with millions of road miles, but that is far from the scale of billions or trillions of road miles on every kind of road under all conditions where people travel currently.
Incentives -> someone will.
I think the interest in PCs grew, especially amongst the younger generation. With the new budget CPUs offering real good performance (a 8th gen i3 can offer approximately the same performance as a 7th gen i5), you can get much higher performance for your money than laptops. The price gap is much more evident when it comes to gaming.

The growth in the PC market had nothing to do with the consumer market.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/07/pc-market-appears-to...

Gartner reports that the growth was driven by increased business sales and that consumer shipments declined. IDC similarly pointed to the "business-driven refresh cycle" as a reason for the increase. This mirrors Microsoft's financial reporting; the software giant distinguishes between business and consumer sales of Windows and Office, and the general pattern over the last few quarters is that business sales have been robust even as consumer demand continues to soften. Enterprises are migrating to Windows 10, and they're buying new hardware to do so.
> Some people can afford to take risks and earn even more while some simply cannot.

I would like to know what you mean specifically. When you are jobless, the German system gives you enough to rent an apartment and eat something. It's not luxurious, but it's better than those anti-social systems like those in the US. You don't have to worry about getting enough food.

When these basic needs are met, you are free to open your mind. Most people don't - even those that have jobs - and I think that's pretty sad. Many people accept the pointless work and shitty environments because the fear of social decline is so big in their heads. I think most of those points you talk about can be changed on the psychological level. Money doesn't necessarily change this, it's a mindset.
Sure, there's other ways to write it, the point of the post was Lisp's syntax, not the algorithm I used to demonstrate some features of it. You could write examples like yours in Lisp or Python, too. As well, your examples both slurp the whole file into memory, which mine avoided.

edit: And your C# version is only 24 non-whitespace characters shorter than the Python version, and 20 of those are because you called your variables 'f' instead of 'filespec' and 'w' instead of 'word'. A 4 non-whitespace character difference makes it exceedingly long and verbose? Or are you just advocating 1-letter variable names and avoiding newlines?

Following the source chain back to Gartner their conclusion on the data was:

"PC shipment growth in the second quarter of 2018 was driven by demand in the business market, which was offset by declining shipments in the consumer segment. In the consumer space, the fundamental market structure, due to changes on PC user behavior, still remains, and continues to impact market growth. Consumers are using their smartphones for even more daily tasks, such as checking social media, calendaring, banking and shopping, which is reducing the need for a consumer PC. In the business segment, PC momentum will weaken in two years when the replacement peak for Windows 10 passes. PC vendors should look for ways to maintain growth in the business market as the Windows 10 upgrade cycle tails off."
"The smallest space was actually 2 feet wide, so yes, it was quite high, 60 centimeters high." I can't imagine crawling in that space without having a panic attack, let alone trying to swim through it in murky water while dragging a child behind me. What an incredible feat.

ASK HN: SAAS liability insurance?
We are a US-based, somehow successful, but still a small SAAS business, with many customers. We have a solid product and good T&C, but we were almost sued recently. As a founder, this was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. As much as we go crazy on keeping high quality, I know this is just a matter of time, a customer will claim our support or our product did something that cost them millions.

Do you have any liability insurance for your SAAS? When I search for liability insurance online, most results look super scammy. Any company you can recommend?
Here is the video without the very slow site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3O9vNi-dkA
Do the professors on that university get paid more for having more students? Because in Germany for example, this is not the case.

The university departments get different amount of money depending on the amount of students they have, but this money cannot be spent freely (e.g. on increasing professor's salaries), but must be spent for education-related things like hiring more TAs, which is something that departments that get more students need to do anyways.

The professor salary is pretty much standardized (per the TVL), which does allows for sur-pluses in case that the responsibilities justify them, but university "students" do not play a role here. Things that affect these are, for example, having larger management-related responsibilities. For example, a professor with 4 PhD students and 2 postdocs gets less money than a professor with 30 PhD students, large experimental facilities, 10 mechanics, 5 middle management personell, ... adding up to 60 people under supervision.

So while I agree that the universities do have an incentive to grow the number of students in STEM degrees, the professors do not really have a big incentive to make the degrees easier.

The professors that "get rich" in Germany have large consulting companies on the side to which they try to attract the top talent, so if anything, the incentive is to produce more top talent. This can incentive them both ways, making things easier to attract more students to get more students in their companies, or making things harder to filter out the bulk from the top talent. But that's just supply and demand.
And they were prior to student loans
This is so important. If you are a person of integrity, do not give an inch to the sociopaths who delight in backstabbing, the liars who have excuses for every failure, the gossips who constantly badmouth colleagues, the cheaters who create new problems at the drop of a hat, the manipulators who want to use you for their career path, the incompetents who claim the achievements of others, and so on.

Our life is precious and limited. Don't compromise your values. Don't compromise your virtues.
When I made an app I went and bought the cheapest Android I could find to check the thing ran ok as I use an iPhone normally. It was quite interesting - I made it display a bit less stuff and the UI less fiddly as the screen response was bad. I think devs should in general try catering for the worst devices and network connections. One reason WhatsApp won, especially in India, was it worked as a java applet on old phones when the competition couldn't be bothered with that.

I'm not convinced by the current trend of everything requiring a ton of javascript frameworks to display some text info and similar. It causes issues along those lines.
This material is hardly exceptionally dangerous. Its close cousin Gallium Arsenide has been nearly the exclusive source of Yellow, Red, and Infrared LED's since the 70's. The screen you're looking at now would not exist without arsenide compounds, both for lights and for other circuit components.

While you could probably make yourself sick by taking old chips of this nature, grinding them up, and inhaling or eating them, or engaging in an accident with their raw materials during their manufacture, they rank pretty low on the list in terms of practical toxicity. Arsenic is a common trace element, and even (in small quantities) has been used to ward off disease in chicken and cattle.

It's not good for you, but this is a positive development, not a poisonous watershed.
