Curse every time I open anything remotely intensive (certain webpages, After Effects, games etc). Sitting in a 18°C AC'ed room helps.
I think the distinction between asteroid and meteorite is size, not whether they touch the earth atmosphere.
how to build the foundations of an everchanging building in an everchanging environment.

not specifically directed to the parent comment, but it lead me to write this:
I think the discussion here is too focused on business/productivity. I feel like different people have different approaches to coding. Some of us really need to write beautiful code, and we are ok with "wasting" a lot of time thinking about fluff until we recognise that it really is fluff, or come up with interesting ideas simply because we spent time thinking about something. Maybe you care about the end result, maybe you care about the code, maybe you care about both. And even when you care about one or another, you do it in different ways. We start optimizing algorithms, then we build frameworks and "optimize" workflows, and then we want to optimize the approach to coding. But I don't think that's universally doable as with algorithms. We end with great insights and confused discussions.
Transaction Isolation in PostgreSQL
The hardware reference manual was published by Addison-Wesley. Gave me a little nostalgia ping when I noticed the Stroustrup C++ book I bought recently was also published by them.
This [1]post on Reddit says something similar and really is true. Most of us engineers tend to neglect design. The fusion of good code and good design can set you up for success (after product market dit obviously)

Stripe started really really well with its developer, library and documentation support. In fact I think that’s a very large part of their initial success.

At some point they lost that focus and dropped the ball. For example for a very long time they had no direct support for reactjs even when it was hugely popular, instead you had to go find some third party library which is a terrible thing to have to do for implementation of payment code.

Maybe they’re improved and started supporting actively the technologies developers are using.
I've been thinking recently about the ratio of time I spend thinking about thoughts other people have had vs thinking about my own thoughts.

Social media & modern recommendation engines have made thinking other people's thoughts seductively easy. Modern apps give us an infinite feed of semi-engaging thoughts to consume in any media we want - from tiny text messages on Twitter to 30 hour audiobooks on Audible. Movies on netflix, short movies on youtube, not to mention podcasts and so on.

And no question, lots of it is fantastic content! Its just - all the things I'm most proud of doing have needed way more of my own thoughts than the thoughts of others. At least 10x as much time genuinely thinking and creating vs time spent in consumption mode. But with so much great content out there, I doubt many of us take the time to do enough thinking. I know I don't, and it chills me to the core.

So I'm not surprised that taking a walk - an activity during which its hard to consume the thoughts of others - leads to an increase in creativity. I would expect that anything which disconnects us from recommendation engines and notifications would be rehabilitating for our inner voices. And what is creativity but our inner voice given form in the world.
Are you that guy on that inner moon with the shiny rooftop who keeps reflecting the sunlight at me twice per orbit?

Seriously, you'll retain heat better with a dark, matte finish on your dome, and you'll blind me less often. In any case, you might also want to reconsider your choice of moons, as yours seems a bit deep into the radiation belts. Out here we orbit much more slowly, peacefully, and we're far from the radiation.

Except when a congressman from Ohio decides that they need more tanks so that he can keep his voters employed [1], despite the army saying they have plenty and don't know what to do with them. They have literally thousands of tanks sitting in storage in the desert, and they're rolling tanks straight off the production line into storage.

> Sadly we don’t really use any of the VMs you listed either

That might be too much to ask then. A change in runtime is much more difficult then a change in language. That's also the beauty of hosted languages like Clojure[Script] and Elixir. They give you a painless transition which doesn't need new infrastructure, and you can slowly adopt them for parts of your code.

> I’ve been through that already for a relatively minor project and been asked not to do it again, even though the project worked out very well

I think it's important to emphasise the benefits. This would have taken me twice as long without X language. X language allowed it to be more robust and suffer from less operational issues.

Also the business shouldn't know about the language choice as much as possible. You can say things like, because of our use of the Clojure[Script]/Elixir technology and library, the project was delivered twice as quickly.

> they just think it’s too hard to hire for these languages, and that the same is possible in any scripting language with Redis, Kubernetes, Kafka, etc.

For this it helps to emphasise ease of learning, and quality of engineers. Something like, any talented engineer can pick it up quickly with minimal overhead. If an engineer can't pick it up, they might have been a bad hire. Engineers interested in such languages are normally more passionate, polyglot, and are continuously learning on their own time. They're most likely better engineer then the average, and this is actually a good way to appeal to such high quality talent and recruit good engineers.

So basically, you have to be a good marketer and leader, since you'll need to evangelize and lead people into adopting the new language, starting with a good hand off to the next person needing to maintain the code.
You do know that Apple only tries to stop things like this for everyone else than themselves, right? I wouldn't trust them any more than Google. At least you can use an android phone without Google apps if you want to. Good luck with using an iPhone without sending your data to Apple or trying to remove all Apple's stuff (step one: iOS).

Looking for work specifically in Berlin. Specialize in front end development (most experience lately is with React), but really enjoy full stack as well. Organizationally, looking for a small (5-30), flat team where I will have the opportunity to wear a lot of hats and an entrepreneurial mindset is valued. Let's get coffee.
Pressure Pumping and Cementing, a Combined Data Analysis
For your bank I recommend N26; it’s one of the tech startups here, an online-only bank, and they talked me through the setup process over my phone in about 10 minutes, in English.

Don’t bother trying it before you actually move though, because the website appears to be geo-locked and the American and UK versions aren’t open yet.
Ask HN: Salaries in London?
I couldn’t find a recent post about salaries here so I think it is time for an update. How much are you making these days in London?

Myself I make £35k, having 3 years of experience with D3.js and React plus very strong design and data visualisation skills. I feel severely underpaid and I'm hoping to get a sense of the market before asking for a raise.

Thanks for your help
> It takes time, practice, and effort. In that sense it is actually hard work; not 'relaxing'.

I like this :) I think of it as furious concentration on stillness.

Beginner meditators often think they're not cut out for meditation because their minds are full of noise during meditation. This is normal.

The usual progression is: observing thoughts to gain insight ("hey, I'm thinking lots of angry thoughts", "why do I keep thinking about my boss?"); then focusing on one thing only, an anchor, like breathing; finally, focusing on nothing.

For me, successfully focusing on nothing happens occasionally, and only a moment at a time.

I love the feeling though - it feels like the top of my head has come off and my brain's turned into hamburger meat.

I know this might not sound desirable :) But for me it felt like my mind was a clenched fist that finally relaxed.
Strike the "large" in that sentence. I somewhat think that writing software is like painting. At some point you decide to stop, but you're never truly done. Also cf. Leonardo da Vinci: "Art is never finished, only abandoned."
Who said anything about being wasteful? We're talking about two different ways of cleaning plates.
Even if the shelf price at Best Buy isn't the same, they will match Amazon, Newegg, bhphoto and a few others. I even had to ask them to match their own online price before. It's convenient when you really want something immediately.
OK, no coherent plan that's being implemented. And you can say "just politics", but what that means is that people don't trust the plan. I mean, consider the history of the Nevada Test Site. There's a "fool me once etc" vibe about this.
Good point. It did receive his endorsement, however.

The animations in Zenly iOS app has always been a massive source of inspiration for me, what a beautiful app.
Both names are in use.

From The Jargon File (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/Hanlons-Razor.html):

At http://www.statusq.org/2001/11/26.html it is claimed that Hanlon's Razor was coined by one Robert J. Hanlon of Scranton, PA. However, a curiously similar remark (“You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.”) appears in Logic of Empire, a classic 1941 SF story by Robert A. Heinlein […].

It does not need rinsing but simply that food remnants be scraped or wiped.
The quote “Natural photosynthesis is not efficient because it has evolved merely to survive so it makes the bare minimum amount of energy needed – around 1-2 per cent of what it could potentially convert and store” makes no sense to me; plants are usually in massive competition for access to light, so in what sense is there no need for it to be more efficient?
It should actually be "micrometeorite", not meteorite. Anything that leaves a slow leak must be tiny, as at orbital+ speeds even specks of dust have tremendous momentum and carry significant energy.

Am I the only one who finds this appalling? I'm not a religious person but for me paper books are sacred. I would never mark in a book and am scandalised when I see someone else do it.
The word you're looking for is meteoroid.

(Not meteorite. It's not a meteorite until it has fallen on solid ground or water :-) ).

They're objects whose size is smaller than that of an asteroid, but larger than that of a micrometeoroid or space dust particle. Basically anything larger than a grain of sand, but not big enough to be an asteroid, is a meteoroid.
For me, it‘s going through every tiny movement of a special climb, thinking about what worked and what didn‘t. All these things have the same core, focusing on the body and freeing your mind from distressing thoughts about work, life or relationships.
And i thought i'm the only one with a fantasy world that progresses a little every night before sleeping. Not much progress though because i fall asleep very quickly when i'm there.
For CRT - yes, but to get a picture from a smartphone's screen the gear would be massive. Saw one used by russian FSS (former name is KGB) on a security audit of some special place.
Congratulations! I love this kind of interactive tutorials as their helping more and more people learning stuff without a boring book and no exercises.

Amazon is already an ad agency for vast number of 3rd seller while also offering fullfilment services. You can see the impact of transitioning to this business model. Large number of those “sponcered” listing is crape. A sizable 3rd party sellers are straight from China looking to dup the customers. Significant number of products that I bought past few months are branded like Duracell but completely fake.
JVM Anatomy Park #18: Scalar Replacement
Do these modules undergo pressure tests before launching? I would hope there's some quality control to catch this type of flaw.
Perhaps we could build another rail station. This happens where I live. There's a new one being built on an existing line because the number of people living near it is enough to justify a new station.

I think you will struggle to convince people here. Your style of argument alienates your audience.

Given that any road could be a rail, any arguments about how everyone could have a road near them could presumably be met with the idea of having a rail near them.

If you want axioms, I believe that everyone could live near a rail station. It's not physically impossible, despite being impractical and so forth. I find your arguments unconvincing and deliberately patronising, which does not help your case.
I agree except one thing: SELECT cols FROM table.
This should really be FROM table SELECT cols as every modern SQL editor will then be able to show you a list of available columns.

See LINQ. There they had the opportunity to fix it and it works just great.
The tech scene in Dublin has definitely expanded in the last few years but the renting market is very bad. You would be looking at paying prices similar to London houseshares for less pay. That being said the housing market looks to be at it's peak here so it's likely to drop in the next couple of years again.

Ireland will likely take some form of impact from Brexit, especially if tariffs are brought in on trade of goods with the UK. I would still think that the tech scene shouldn't be too impacted and may see more growth if multinational comapanies move after Brexit.

I've tried it, but I'm not more creative during or just after walking. The best ideas are just randomly occuring to me during day (when I have a moment to think about them) or when falling asleep.
How acurate is this?

Stellarium was a fine achievement a decade ago ... and has become more beautiful and useful ever since. It is certainly among the top-100 the 'rock stars' of software, and unsurpassed as a science-learning tool. Many thanks to you all!
They do, but the hole was filled with glue. Once in space, the glue dried up and depressurizing started. So it was not possible to catch it on ground.
>I've been following the Stellarium project for upwards of a decade and I'm always pleasantly surprised at how far it's come

Likewise. My first ever open source contributions were to the Stellarium project at about the age of 14. The regular volunteers (especially Matthew) were unbelievably patient and helpful. Working on Stellarium was what really pushed me to spend a lot of time learning programming.
As a hypothesis (because I’m not a biologist) it might be important to optimise for other things at the expense of efficiency. Disease resistance, for example. Or perhaps absorbing more sunlight will cause them to overheat (is that why the leaves are not black?)
The impact on tech is mixed, as there are quite a few multinationals moving from London to Dublin to stay within the EU.
Isn't that like an immutable problem and what their business model is based on? Push employees to the limits to have very high performance for a short time and then throw them out when they burn out?
I would expect "glue in a hole" to fail as the sun hits the module every 90 mins, and the surface probably heats to 100C and cools to -25C. That kind of heat cycling causes expansion and contraction, causing the boundary between the metal and the glue to weaken then fail.

One can test for that in the lab, but it involves heat cycling for a long time to reproduce the same number of cycles the space station could undergo in its multi-decade lifespan.
"I'll work for whoever is willing to pay me the most" is valid from your point of view. But I as a founder don't want people who're in it just for the money, so eliminating such people is exactly why I think I'll henceforth separate out the "Are you interested in this job?" part from the pay part.

Perhaps without realising it, you made an argument for the opposite side :)
Aircraft carriers are more than just a floating airport though. They symbolise American might, a physical manifestation of big stick diplomacy.

There's no surer way to get a tinpot dictatorship to start dancing to your fiddle than to park a carrier battle group outside their territorial waters.

As Bill Clinton said:

> When word of a crisis breaks out in Washington, it's no accident that the first question that comes to everyone's lips is 'Where's the nearest carrier?'

Most of the time, a submarine or destroyer with Tomahawk cruise missiles will get the job done. But parking a nuclear submarine off the coast doesn't have the same diplomatic effect.

I read about a method years ago. I usually don't have problems falling asleep. But when I do, I do the following:

Try to breath in through one nose hole and breath out through the other. This may sound stupid, but there are two reasons why this works:

1. You focus on doing something else than thinking about stuff that worries you.
2. While doing this your eyes move from left to right. You might remember what hypnotists do: They swing a pendulum from left to right which you have to follow. This eye movement from left to right activates your subconscious part of the brain. I don't know or remember what exactly that does but everytime I use this technique and wake up the next morning I don't remember doing anything after this. Which means I fell asleep.

Not in the sense that the screen, or any near work is the primary cause. Except for genetic factors it seems more related to the exposure to light of a brightness which can usually only be found outdoors.

Obviously this can correlate with both screen time, reading, and washing the dishes.
Take a walk in the park, smoke some weed...

Seriously though, something happens out there, from my perspective subconsciousness talks to me, slips notes with various reminders that I utterly forgot for weeks, or makes connections to things I never thought about before. I think it is because its so natural to walk for us, our consciousness is completely free.

And on weed, alone (important part, if I am with somebody my focus is on communication and not some inner voices), this flow of thoughts and ideas becomes so intense that I usually have to stop and start typing them into some notepad in phone, otherwise they will be forgotten within minutes (the curse of short term memory effect of weed).

I've come up with at least 20 different startup ideas among other things, some entirely out of software engineering (my daily job). Some of them look a bit moonshot-ish in hindsight, some I found out somebody else already did without my prior knowledge (ie self-belaying device for climbing), some just look hard but doable.
I wouldn't like being stuck in that elevator!
I worked for a large tech company in Seattle and the actual living in Seattle part of it was tremendous (I didn't really enjoy the work, but that's a whole other story). I really loved living in Bellevue in particular -- it's very clean and beautiful.

You'll save a lot more money living in Seattle compared to SF. The weather is a bit dreary sometimes, but I didn't find it to be much of a problem.
