Can you cite any research that would support your argument that alcohol is much more damaging to the individual?
Fifteen years ago, I suffered from impostor syndrome. It made me defensive whenever someone criticized me because I thought that they were exposing my ignorance--exposing me as an impostor. I would bristle when other developers would say, "Wait? You don't know about [thing]?" Why didn't I know about [thing]???

After 25 years of coding I know enough about the field to know that no one knows it all. When someone is surprised that I don't know something, I smile to myself that they think the entire scope of software development is something anyone could know in its entirety (but I keep this to myself). When someone is defensive about their code or what they know, I now assume they are suffering from impostor syndrome and try to emphasize my own human failings in hopes they will accept their own.

The best defense against impostor syndrome is humility. Part of being humble is being self-effacing with my peers. I love to tell my coworkers every boneheaded mistake I make. I've seen this work wonders for their confidence to know the lead developer regularly misses key requirements, has to go back and completely refactor his poorly-coded solutions, or releases stupefying bugs into production. Software is hard. It's important to always remember that and have sympathy for everyone we work with.

My favorite motto (borrowed from multiple sources) is, "I reserve the right to be smarter today than I was yesterday."

Avoiding side effects sounds like something someone new to Haskell would say. Haskell in no way avoids side effects. Actually I'd say it embraces them by introducing special semantics just for them! What it does do is encourage you to move side effects to the "edge" of your code base and produce a more clean separation between pure & non-pure code. This is incredibly valuable for testing and overall correctness.
> This argument is theological in that it's arguing against an idea

With an actual license text publicly available, this is way beyond just an idea, wouldn't you agree?

This was not proposed as a solution to the problem(s) that Commons Clause wants to solve, problem(s) BTW that I can't see clearly articulated anywhere.

Odd you would think that, considering the US dollar is extremely strong right now relative to other global currencies and has been for the last 5 years (save for last year).

I'd love to hear why you think this, and what information sources you're hearing this from? I've seen this line used equally by right wing political groups as well as left wing crypto anarchists who both seem to lack a basic understanding of how finance works.
Let's look at the first experiment.

http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/Enacting%20Ri...

Voluntary enrollment, knowing in advance that they have to do this stupid ritual. ~10% dropped out, and another ~20% didn't fill out their food diaries properly. That's selecting for discipline.

Relied on self-reported food diaries ie opening room for placebo effect and/or guilt-motivated lying.

Only lasted 5 days. Pretty much every dietary intervention works for short periods of time.

Relies on calorie-counting, which is wildly inaccurate.

Finally:

> Despite the effectiveness of rituals, participants tended to think the ritual was not very helpful and reported being unlikely to continue it.

I think it's pretty plausible that rituals can have useful effects on behavior, but I don't think experiments like this tell us anything about it, especially once you add in the effects of publication bias etc.

> Null hypothesis testing of correlational predictions from weak substantive theories in soft psychology is subject to the influence of ten obfuscating factors whose effects are usually (1) sizeable, (2) opposed, (3) variable, and (4) unknown. The net epistemic effect of these ten obfuscating influences is that the usual research literature review is well-nigh uninterpretable.
Have you read the Commons Clause license? Do you understand it well enough to back up those absurd claims you're making?

People see "oh it's not OSI-approved" and just de-facto assume it's the end of the world.

Redis is an amazing piece of open source, BSD software and you're taking a huge dump on it and its author for not complying to your wishes. Friend, have you done for open source even 1/10th of what Antirez and the Redis project have?

Honestly, this whole thread. I remember instances of people finding out about major figures in open source burning out, turning to drugs or even killing themselves and being all like "oh, this was so preventable".

Prevent now. Stop behaving like this towards people.
Couldn't you sell them the commercially licensed version then, if you had the AGPL + commercial dual license?

Can you elaborate on this.

https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=EUR&view=10Y

This shows that USD is actually worth more than the Euro over the past 10 years.

What exactly is the USD devalued relative to that caused a stock market boom?
Well, what can you do- buy into the market now? If you really believe that strongly in the idea that it's impossible to time the market then be my guest!

Your options pretty much boil down to "a crash is coming" (so says everyone for the last 5 years), or "it's different this time" (we all know the issue with that)

Ask HN: What can be done to protect/restore a Twitter account of a dead person?
Harris Wittels was a comedian and writer who passed away in 2015. He was the person who originally who coined and popularized the term "humblebrag" from his @humblebrag Twitter account (User ID 214680621). Both the account and term became a viral hit in the early 2010s and now "humblebrag" is simply part of our common vernacular.

It seems on or before June 6th someone hijacked his old account, deleted his old tweets, renamed the account to @micropicss and then to @differlanguages (there might have been other name changes in there too), and setup a spam bot. It also seems someone setup new accounts to sit on the @humblebrag and @micropicss names. The @differlanguages now has a few hundred thousand legitimate Twitter followers including lots of high profile users.

I have no relation to Wittels or his estate (which would seem to prevent me from opening an official complaint with Twitter according to their help bot), but I hate to see part of his legacy, Twitter's history, and the lexiconic record destroyed like this. Is there anything that can be done to get the old account restored in some way or at the very least stop a spam account from taking advantage of his account's followers?

Really? You can't imagine how knowing who is speaking would help identify the gender of who is speaking?
Encryption + lose the key policies seem to satisfy the GDPR. So you don't have to actually delete an event, you can just give up your ability to read its payload.
Ask HN: Which tool can be used to visualize GPU memory usage in a spark cluster?
While it can be done by using deep learning framework profiler or nvidia-smi output(http://forums.fast.ai/t/visualizing-gpu-memory-usage/1103/5) for all GPU instances but looking for any existing tool to visualise GPU memory just like ambari provide a nice dashboard for CPU memory (https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.6.1.5/bk_ambari-operations/content/viewing_the_cluster_dashboard.html).
Howdy, Josh.

The last draft of License Zero Reciprocal posted to license-review works perfectly well on its own, without any dual licensing, and without any relationship to the business I formed. Its language wasn't any more coupled to a particular business model, or any business model at all, than AGPL's. If someone told you otherwise, they told you wrong.

I released the source code for licensezero.com itself under a successor to L0-R, without offering to sell any private licenses whatsoever. Anyone could use the terms similarly.

"License Zero was rejected because it's not open source" is tautological. And, alas, that's mostly in line with my experience of the license-review process. Some great folks offered back-and-forth, and were willing to explore. But that was largely drowned out by bare conclusions, and the drama that flared up whenever I tried to probe them.

I definitely have it, or else I wouldn't be a USA freelancer w/ 5+ years php experience (laravel + vue = current stack), but only charge $40 an hour as a freelancer...

See, I KNOW I have it, I KNOW I'm worth more, but when I get into negotiations on rates, I freeze up and low ball to get the client rather than just spit out $100/hour take it or leave it...

I'm in therapy for anxiety/depression though and focus/concentration issues, (just started last week), I'm hopeful some of this might be worked through and I can find some quality clients that will pay industry standards for freelance work..or I'll start a Saas that has MRR and I won't need to worry about it.

Ask HN: Why do companies do “remote within the US”?
I've seen a sharp rise in companies that are 100% remote, but have a caveat that you have to be inside the United States. Full disclosure, I'm an American living in Mexico for the time being. I've had several companies stop the interview/hiring process as soon as they find out I'm outside the US. I've also seen hundreds of job postings say "remote, within the US".

I was even employed part-time with a company that knew I was in Mexico and was OK with it, but then they got bought and I was terminated within months. All my papers are in order, my US Passport is still good, my Mexican visa is fine, and I can't honestly think of a reason why they can't hire remote globally. Am I missing something? Is there a reason for this I don't understand? I have a US bank account, a US Passport, pay US taxes, and am a native English speaker. Is there a blind spot that I can't see? Is it just simple "policy" that people made a blanket decision without facts? Am I being unreasonable?

It seems like a reasonable thing to be upset over. It feels like discrimination, and it is. It's called Geographic Discrimination, and when you're talking about being a concierge for a hotel or a janitor or any other physical on-site job, that makes sense. But I don't understand why it should be legal to apply it to 100% remote jobs in 100% remote companies.
I'll second that. I've had a near perfect experience using WSL for development. One of the best things Microsoft has added to Windows in many years.

It's also worth noting that "median salaries in software engineering" samples heavily from places with higher CoL, whereas healthcare numbers tend to be more representative of the national picture (because not everyone can fly to SF for healthcare, but software jobs are more concentrated in a few expensive places).

Concretely, average SE salaries in flyover states are pretty comparable to average RN salaries in flyover states.
Broadening Node.js Contributions
The original goal for moving from a monolith to a microservices architecture was loosely stated as “its hard for us to work on the app together and ship features”. Something that isnt addressed in the results or suggestions.

How much did the team improve shipping features for customers? Is the app more reliable? Does the engineering team spend way more time on CI/CD and all the other “overhead”?

Most teams will never need this type of solution, even though theyre tons of fun to build and operate. I just wish we had a better way of sharing the non-engineering results of these types of efforts.
Let's not make a false dichotomy between privacy and security. Privacy is an integral part of security - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17763324

The real quality to discuss is threat models. Even using a public-mix VPN is not going to protect against Klein-style wholesale tapping (due to packet correlation). Using your own VPN to exit will not protect against legal attacks (subscriber info will still be subpoenaed). But either will protect against revealing (to every service you connect to) your roaming between access networks - eg the discovery of who is friends from their connecting to the same WiFi.

(Also, distinguishing between "government" and "commercial" surveillance is a bit of a red herring as well. Much government surveillance is done by the "private" sector, which the government at least then buys fulls access to, if it doesn't constitute a de facto government on its own - eg credit bureaus in the US)
Sitting up straight. You need to go chair shopping.
It's not a problem on linux whatsoever. On traditional package managers it just required some thought from the maintainer. Newer ones like flatpak make it even simpler.

Windows on the other hand just lets you bundle everything with your application including libraries that might have vulnerabilities without any form of sandboxing and no formal mechanism under which they can be updated. On linux on the other hand you can rely on the distro to ship patched versions of system libraries while the application itself is much more limited in regards of permissions.
>> So much was geared towards PvP, and if you didn’t like PvP, the game was ultimately not for you.

That was a big blow to many of the early players. We wanted WC:Privateer. EVE was pitched as a trading/economy game, which it was in the early days. There is still a huge market for a Privateer-style game. Star Citizen is proof that the money is out there. I'd play an EVE online where strong NPCs were the predominant enemy, with PvP being an exception. That was early Eve, back when corps were still struggling to push outwards.
> Yep, if you use the word unlimited, and that's not what you're actually providing, you're a liar. Pure and simple.

Then by definition nothing is unlimited... The whole universe has limits... there's a finite amount of atoms... even saying you have unlimited access to my comment would be lying because one day, you'll die, or the storage will die, or this comment will be forgotten...

I think if you sell an unlimited 200 Kbps connection, it's implied that it's a 65 GB one. Putting a limit on the bandwidth would be to offer LESS than what the other limits imply.

Saying unlimited 100 mbit/s but throttling it at 1 mbit/s sure, that is clearly false advertising because you actually get unlimited 1 mbit/s.
Very detailed blog with lots of wise words used, but very little actual experience shared.

For a startup - all this may feel OK like you're cheating the system and beating others to the punch - but damn, if you actually make it - good luck scaling that up.

I never bothered to really look into it -- I suspect it's semi-public information. If I had to guess, lots of internal changes to make Redis behave better in AWS's architecture to do with containerization, EC2, S3/EBS, maintenance automation related stuff, instrumentation, etc.

Oh actually definitely some stuff related to their redis clustering system.

If you're vaporized in an nuclear explosion, are you more or less dead than if you suffer an aortic dissection? No. You're still dead.

If the government threatens you with political imprisonment, are you more or less silent than if your boss threatens you with termination and legal proceedings? No. You're still unable to voice your opinion.

Don't mistake the amount of power brought to bear to coerce with the outcome of acquiescence. Dead is dead. Silent is silent.

The ideal of free speech says that restricting the flow of ideas is harmful and immoral in and of itself. Yes, we need additional protection against government tyranny. That's why it is illegal. But "it's not against the Constitution" doesn't make an action right or just. "It's not illegal according to the Constitution" is perhaps the weakest defense I can possibly think of. If that's the best thing you can say about your actions, you're not really endorsing yourself. Congratulations. You haven't done something so stupendously wrong that we wrote it down a couple hundred years ago and made everybody working in one country's government promise not to do it anymore. If we're to judge you by the strictest letter of a document explicitly intended to proscribe one government's power, you're doing great. And we just nevermind that if you were acting on behalf of the government, it would be illegal? We just ignore the ideal of free speech in lieu of a single embodiment of it?

It's like a CS student saying, "It doesn't segfault on compile. I deserve an A." Well, not segfaulting during compile is the bare minimum. Well done. You wrote a program that's syntactically valid and results in a binary output file. It might be incorrect, it might be insecure, it might be buggy, it might be incomplete, it might be less efficient than bogosort, it might perform trivial work, it might even be completely useless, but at least it does so within the basic rules of the OS!

You managed not to do something illegal. That doesn't mean you're doing something right.
Perhaps I'm misinformed, but I've heard that prior to the handover, neither Portugal nor China particularly wanted Macau, as it had a reputation for being a lawless mess. Certainly it has improved greatly in the decades, but it's less than a tenth of the population of HK, much less Taiwan, and so likely a territory that Beijing can afford to be hands-off towards.
