Ping me. I'm happy to provide any free advice I can over the phone as long as it has a chance of helping developers. HN isn't the place for this, however, as whatever I say is just going to open up a religious war. (Disclaimer: I am currently looking for new clients)

You hire a guy like me because they have a broad and long record of seeing various things work and fail. The first thing you learn is that it takes a lot of examples to start seeing patterns. The worse folks you can deal with are the enthusiasts who have only seen things rock-and-roll a few times. Skeptics are great. Let's go see what works or not. True believers are another thing entirely. Humility is critical here.

There are some things I've seen that work. There are also some things I've read from others that I trust. I've always been a huge believer in success by failure avoidance: it might not matter what you do as much as it matters that you're actively trying to avoid screwing up.

No matter what your mix of strategies, it's a personal call that involves risk and not a kind of conversation you want to have in a room with ten thousand people in it. It's something to think about for a while.
> The people who work with me at Cisco know that when I say I'll help, I do.

The same can be said for people who know David outside of Cisco too. I know David from SHDH, EveryDNS, & OpenDNS. He's a man of his word.

Plus they have good incentives to do things like focus on preventative care because they lose money by having to treat vs clinics which will make money treating.

On the downside sometimes they try to deny treatments a little to eagerly, when I broke my clavicle, Kaiser suggested I could go without surgery, while a private practitioner said I needed immediate surgery, pronto, right now. Kaiser ultimately had me wait over the weekend 3 days before the surgeon got in on Monday. But the service itself was good.
Names are kind of a consensus thing - that place is(will be) called East Cut if and only if a sufficiently large part of the people who talk about the area call it East Cut.

Conversely, if most people do start calling it East Cut, you will be obligated to do the same if you want people to understand what you mean, since if you'll say "Rincon" they'll (mis)understand it as an area that explicitly excludes territory which they now call otherwise.
Because it limits the scope of the arbiters responsibilities and capabilities, and precisely specifies their purpose.
Pretending Apple market cap is 1T and Canada's GDP is 2T is it not just saying "If you took half of all goods and services sold in Canada for 1 year you could buy Apple"?
Being an advocate of your code
The rationale is that instead of paying extra on your student loans you invest the extra and so long as the return on your investments is higher than your student loan rate you come out ahead. When the rates flip, such as in a market downturn, liquidate the investments and apply it to the student loans.

If you feel you do not have the discipline to avoid dipping into your investments, then by all means continue as you are.
They "gifted" it? What's wrong with the word "gave"?
Sure, and the grounding pin was also added. To get around that, every hardware and department store sells those little defeat devices (that you're supposed to ground but I'd be surprised if anyone ever did that). That's an instance where the reaction to a change leaves you less safe, not more.

Being petty and being effective are often related as a teacher.

Cramming for tests has poor long term retention. So, even if it seems like a final should be enough to demonstrate competency it's generally a poor idea to upgrade a grade based on a final.
My point is that the courts make the decisions, not the state of a blockchain or any other computer system. Since a blockchain is just like any other computer system with regard to legal capabilities, using it is a net negative because of all the well-known problems of a blockchain system.
Always great to see my layoutmanager (https://golden-layout.com/) in the wild. Thanks so much for using it!
Recursive Acronyms
The best SCRUM master I ever worked with had strong opinions about standups. Standups, he said, were an attempt to address the principle of constant communication. He said most places held to standups too literally and the updates weren't useful to most of the people in the room, which negated the whole purpose.
Medicaid?

Maybe this isn’t what you’re talking about, but aren’t their storage prices excessively high?

You pay a lot for a 500G or 1TB SSD from Apple, vastly more than competitors. I always assumed their margin was higher on the higher tiers.
The vast majority of Windows PCs do not ship with Chrome.
That's a creative solution (so long as you have no disabled/older/etc employees on your team)! You could probably solve the same problem, though, by just having one person who aggressively shuts down long updates. Phrases like "Let's chat about that offline" or "Want to grab a whiteboard for 15 after standup to figure that out?" are handy. Do this for a month or so and people will start self-policing effectively.

You'd probably want team buy-in before doing that, of course. If most people agree that standups are too long, you could get pre-emptive permission by asking the team if they're cool with you becoming the standup police like that. In my experience, most people are willing to admit that long standups are a problem, but only in retrospect - never when they're the one actively talking. :)
This!!! I've noticed how "forums" (as opposed to reddit-style discussion boards which are moderated) tend to have this sort of "first post!11!!!" behavior. If you look at that user's post history, he or she has contributed, but - also is providing lots, and lots of commentary. And while that commentary is useful, it's not necessarily moving the ball on solving whatever the problem of the day is.

I see the same thing in travel forums frequently.
I'd guess "private flight" statistically has higher incident rates, but it's possible to beat commercial on an individual basis if you hire the best pilots, buy a large top-of-the-line plane with cutting-edge avionics, etc which I'd assume Apple does for its CEO.

I think most private flight incidents are caused by pilot error, particularly in low-viz conditions where good instruments would help.
Almost every market in the world has this - if you want and can afford private healthcare, or your employer pays for it, no-one is going to stop you using it. Medicaid alone is more expensive and less effective than the public healthcare systems in other countries and still doesn't provide universal coverage.

Yep, people in the "upper-middle class" delude themselves into thinking they are in some special transition zone between the serfs and the aristocrats. A grasshopper is much larger than an ant, but neither are worthy of notice next to a bear.
Or maybe you're just not very familiar with the state of the art? Token curated registries and Schelling-voting prediction markets can be and are being used as oracles effectively. Oracles are being used all over the place with many different architectures - some centralized, some decentralized. People are iterating on solutions as we speak, and many of them are operational and functioning smoothly as we speak.

When I say these things are 'being worked on', I don't mean they are abstract, purely theoretical ideas being discussed on github threads and dueling whitepapers. Many of them actually exist and are being used to safeguard funds and enforce contracts right now. I say it's being worked on because I don't think we have achieved the final vision of exactly the best ways of doing these things yet, it's an evolving process. Do not mistake that for a lack of progress.
Are you just saying the length of the rod can be variable along with the position of the notch? If so, it seems like that means you approximately square the number of possibilities, so if there was a maximum of 25 bytes, then there is an maximum of 50 bytes available in something the width of the universe. Still not large.

It's funny how the article simultaneously complains about using the "wrong" name for East Cut while also saying that the same area has three other names the locals know it by. It seems like no one agrees on the official name
Are you seriously suggesting a study in which people are randomly assigned people to drinking conditions for decades? That is perposterous.

Edit: To be clear, assignment to drinking conditions and following them over decades is unrealistic, would have problems with participant compliance, and is probably unethical.

Fats dissolve in alcohol so one reason alcohol can be cardio protective is that it literally clears out your arteries. It also raises blood pressure, which effects kidneys and other organs, and can cause other problems possibly stroke. A bigger problem is that alcohol is metabolized into acetaldehyde which if you get too much of causes problems long term.

Check out "Capital in the 21st Century" by Thomas Picketty. The picture is bleak, and it describes how the truly wealthy (top 1% of stored wealth) must self regulate or risk passing a tipping point.

And how they are failing to do so between 1980-2010, as modern conditions globally approach those of the French Revolution.

Why? If you're a customer of a service, and you appreciate this service, and you hear that in your city there are political debates about making this service/activity illegal, wouldn't you want to be informed and make sure you express your voice?
This looks very interesting indeed. I would be interested in contributing, so time to go read up on how I do that.
The book Against Intellectual Monopoly explains that the reason American and (especially) German pharmaceutical science advanced more quickly than in the U.K. and France in the early part of the 20th century is because it was more difficult to obtain patents on drugs. In Germany in particular IIRC you could obtain a patent on a manufacturing method only, not on a medical use.
Honestly, I think a 99 cent fee could help to remove a lot of the noise.

Ask HN: Maintainers of OSS projects, how to you deal with GDPR?
The GDPR changed how service providers need to proclaim how they are using data.

I'm interested in how Open Source projects for end-users are dealing with the issue. Are you including cookie banners, privacy statements or EULAs in your product, so it's easier for your users to deploy the software legally to their audience? Do you leave it to your users to collect and provide the information about your product?

What's your approach?

And also: How do operators handle the issue if the Open Source product they are hosting did not prepare for GDPR?

So the TGV is the inverse of a snail. That sends the right message, IMO.
I was thinking that 1 unit = 1 standard drink but if the study is using the UK definition of units, the 1-14/week range is actually much lower than the average alcohol consumption among the academic/intellectual types I know. To put the 1-14 figure into real world terms, 10 UK units is about equal to a single bottle of 14% ABV wine. And to put that in perspective, on multiple occasions I've witnessed a table of Oxford dons drink the equivalent of 10-20 units over lunch!

Granted, academics and intellectuals in the UK are more likely (in my admittedly anecdotal experience) to be functional alcoholics than elsewhere. But still, if I were trying to estimate the median consumption among the few dozen people I know with advanced degrees, I'd say it'd fall more in the range of 2-3 bottles of wine a week or equivalent amounts of beer, which is well into the "excessive" zone in this study. Unfortunately, I seem to fall into that group as well :(
I asked for my city's government for a clearly defined line of where a neighborhood begins and ends, and they told me the local government did not name the neighborhoods but real estate did. Looks like google in this case is doing the same thing, hopefully their naming approach is not political or money driven as it is for real estate companies, that will extend the "borders" of a neighborhood to make properties price rise.
We know that networked technology businesses are mono/duopolistic by nature. So even if there are 10 amazing competitors, only 2 will survive, and they will be very protected from future competition.

This seems unfair.

And yes, that's a big reason behind why Apple is a $1T company.
How do you get coins if you're not an open source project? Is the idea that, when the mainnet launches, private individuals and the for-profit sector will buy coins from open source projects?
I would disagree with almost every claim on this list.
> An example of a blockchain/legal system hybrid is colored coins, where a token represents a real world asset

Equally pointless. What if I steal your private keys and authorize the sale of your house tokens to myself for dirt cheap?

The answer is that it doesn't matter what the blockchain says because it is the prerogative of the courts to resolve these disputes.
I am no fan of arbitration agreements and the trend of avoiding courts for big corporations. But in this context, simply as a technical matter, arbitration is within and subordinate to the legal system.

You can sue anyone for any reason at any time, period. The degree to which you might succeed depends on laws. To the extent a contract demands arbitration it's because it is a contract, which is defined by the legal system. The system of arbitration depends on those laws to be effective, and the backstop for it is always the courts.

This isn't true in the reverse. Congress could outlaw or limit arbitration tomorrow. No arbitrator could dissolve Congress.
I have a QC35 (the google assistant version) and it does keep away the noise and is super comfy.

If comfort is a big reason when you pick your headphones, if you have big ears or glasses like I do, then this is the way to go.

Audio quality is meh. I tried out my friends Sony WH1000XM2 and it has way better audio quality.
I guess Cook has someone take care of his payroll elections, and will have someone manage the withdrawals or the account in his estate. That person likely costs less per hour than the money saved by doing the paperwork.
In my opinion one of the primary characteristics of Clojure is the implementation of the collection types. Without that it's not going to be an implementation of Clojure to me.

Bank of England raises UK interest rates
For an average driver, I'd call BS on that. Humans are terrible at learning complicated things they rarely have to recall.

E.g. the disaster that is the first major snowfall, every year, or automatic transmissions, antilock brakes, and traction control systems becoming standard

The human can only reliably be trusted to keep the car between the lines, stop appropriately, and occasionally make turns. Which is something much simpler to compete with!
Do you know of Mercury? It's Prolog with types, basically.

https://mercurylang.org/

The language is fantastic, but I think it's fair to say that the implementation and ecosystem leave some things to be desired.
It depends on perspective and expectations. I'm a macOS and Linux user for 10+ years. From multimedia editing perspective Linux is a little behind, however in photography field there are tools which can provide terrific results.

For RAW conversion, RAW therapee is available, which is considered superior to many proprietary converters, demosaicers. While it cannot compete with C1 or LR, there's darktable (and I like its RAW conversion more). I have not tried the HDR tools yet, but I think they're promising.

I'm not knowledgable in video editing, and don't work in a color-managed environment, so I'm skipping these.

For office applications, Using Office is your choice. I'm using LibreOffice for a long time on Mac and Linux, even for professional situations. It served me well, and serving well. It's also playing fairly well with latest Office formats, at least with the files I encounter.

There were times when ATI/AMD support was bad, really bad, hardware damaging bad. I personally experienced some of those and reported directly them to ATI. There were times ATI/AMD literally had no video playback support via official drivers, but they're stories of past. AMD is a company which re-designed its silicon to provide better and more complete Linux support. ATI/AMD is not a company which is ignorant of Linux anymore.
Apple Is Worth One Trillion Dollars
That's were the Scrum master/Team lead/Manager interjects and regulates. When someone diverts from status update, I stop them and tell them to table it for discussion afterwards. There are no hard rules, once in a while, someone will have something that is very important and I'll let them drop it. Plank? Monkey business!
I wonder how that breaks down into categories. Some quick googling reveals the following:

~30 trillion in residential real estate

~6 trillion in commercial real estate

~30 trillion in pubic company value

Other big buckets I guess would be undeveloped land & private companies.

~100T sounds pretty plausible but I feel like I'm missing a big bucket or two. Not sure what though.
I'm not sure how much that micro-managing aspect is peculiar to agile and how much is just inherent to working on a team.

> It forces developers to share every mistake they make, it makes them share if they are thinking incorrectly about something, it makes them easily replaceable.

That's absolutely the point of a team. Contrary to popular belief, a team is not a meritocracy[1], it's a mediocracy. The beautiful thing about a mediocracy is that it means that you can take vacation or quit and someone else can pick up your work. We have a pretty good gig that we can just chew through tickets, imbibing coffee and excreting code and poo.

Not everyone has that luxury. For many actors, their face needs to be in every episode, so they sign a contract with stiff penalties if they quit.

[1]: Engineering is meritocratic in the larger market; if you are better or worse than your team's medium, you find a better team where the medium is closer to your skill level.
Nobody/Everybody, if people start calling a region by a name it makes sense to record the usage and put it on the map. Sure, it probably makes perfections and planners twitch but it makes maps more useful.

From the MSDS sheet:

> 6.2 Environmental precautions

> Seal leaks when possible without risk. Impound spoiled product as much as possible with inert materials. Do not allow substance to flow into water ways, sewerage systems, basements or confined areas.

I'm sure that's referring to the liquid substance; however there's no information on the site as to how the fluoropolymers biodegrade as the sprays wear with foot traffic and end up in the environment. Hopefully someone with chemistry background has more details about this process.

Neither MacOS nor Windows prevent you from installing any application you desire[0], direct from the vendor. That has only recently begun to change thanks to app stores, which bear a remarkable similarity to package repos.

Bermuda Triangle: case solved
Shameless plug: I'm writing similar thing as a hobby sandbox project: https://github.com/kovrik/scheme-in-kotlin

It started as a Scheme R5RS implementation in Java, then I translated everything to Kotlin. Finally, decided to make it a hybrid (abomination?) of Scheme and Racket and Clojure.

Still in development, don't know how to implement macros properly. Also, it's only an interpreter for now, there is no compiler (for the same reason: don't know yet how to write a compiler for Kotlin. Use ASM?)

Anyway, it is a great and enlightening experience and I would recommend everyone to write your own lang.
While I appreciate your even-handed and careful defense of the point I was making, it's probably necessary to note that I didn't consider the merits of adoption at all. I have no idea what sort of policy to support on this issue. Indeed, the only thing I was objecting to was the idea of the company of biological parents being preferable by default. Given the evidence, I think that options rank like this: good parents > good foster parents > single parent > no parents > violent antisocial parent(s). Maybe it's wrong, but I don't immediately see how and believe we shouldn't assume that any position pro "ripping families apart", whatever the circumstances, is indefensible. If anything, the only policy I can responsibly advocate for, and not just voice general agreement with, is more rigorous and unbiased research into life outcomes.
From when obey the law of the land be the evil? That's why some Americans don't call illegal immigrant 'illegal' but 'undocumented'?
I wonder about this type of stuff since the place I am at now has no mailable address other than a PO Box. During my high school years, I remember ordering packages with "House 313 behind the School" or "House 313 School Loop" to satisfy the place we were order from. The UPS driver would know where to drop it off, and US Mail made you pick it up anyway.
Sounds like bipartisan corruption.
You can use stereoscopic using the full width of the car as the baseline instead of eye distance. Humans have a pupillary distance of about 60mm which is good for about 10 meters (possibly much more: https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2191614). A Model 3 is over 6 feet in width, so the pupillary distance is thus 30 times that of humans, and so should be good to about 300 meters, which is comparable to high end LIDARs (although the stereoscopic approach won't be as precise at those distances).

Anyway, if LIDAR becomes small and cheap, Tesla can just strap it on.
Yep. I'd say persistent collections and (lazy) sequences. And great concurrency stuff (agents, atoms etc.)
