Location, location, location, I would think: With more people and larger cities, there's more "prime" real estate at locations with high potential for economic networking. In this kind of situation, it's only natural that people will spend a greater percent of their income on housing (since the benefits of being at a prime location vs remote location are more stark)

The other factor is that the Chinese government places very strict controls on where rich people can "park" their money- Since they can't take large sums of money out of the country, they have resorted to using local real estate as a sort of gold substitute for stockpiling their $$$.
I have heard co-workers say that the code where we were working used to be dissatisfactory because there just wasn't very much of it, but now it's much better. My mind was boggled. Less code is almost always better (obviously there are exceptions, but rarely in production, in my experience).
My definition is the same as his. Is there a poll or survey somewhere that determined what the commonly accepted definition was?
Ask HN: Tips on hiring a “life manager” or coach to be productive?
Long story short, I work remotely, am building a few side projects, trying to get in shape, learn a foreign language and a million other things. Unfortunately, like everyone else, I end up wasting time on the internet and making excuses. Self-motivation has its limits. Specifically as a remote worker, I’ve found it’s easy to fall into an “unstructured abyss.”

I recently had the idea of hiring someone to ‘keep me on track’, so to speak. A cross between an assistant and a coach.

Has anyone done something like this? I’m even thinking a 60 minute session once a week to just review my goals, make sure I’m getting stuff done, and being accountable to someone is a good start.

I think it is worth knowing how you would grow into one of those solutions. That said, I do not know why you would try and start there. And, yes, migrating between solutions is always difficult. However, it is also the kind of problem only successful companies ever should have.
As far as I remember shareJS was available when we started to work on tree-based OT. We researched it but it turned out to be too simple for what we wanted to achieve and there was no special handling for some edge cases that happens during collaborative editing.

We achieved something similar to shareJS functionality quite early, to be honest. What proved to be extremely difficult was all the extras to smooth up the user experience. We would have to (heavily) extend shareJS anyway, so it made more sense to go out with own solution, crafted for our needs.

Same exact boat, circa mid-2017. Was seeing lots of email go to spam on SendGrid, asked their support about it, and they suggested I purchase a monthly static IP. I moved to Postmark to save money and their deliverability ended up being WAY higher, due to the transaction-email-only policy.

Hi, I wanted to ask is there any IDE which has typewriting mode?

In Typewriter mode, the line you’re typing is always kept at the static position on the screen, while the editor scrolls up and down. Similar to how we write texts on mobile or inbuilt functionality in Ulysses, iA Writer.

> Then why am I paying their salaries?

You, individually, are not.

Your shared interests with those with whom you are are collectively doing so are, obviously, not coextensive with all of your personal interests, but are a subset of them. Law enforcement serves (ideally) diffuse public interests, acute private interests are served (in the legal realm) by private civil litigation.

Particularly, you (individually, and society collectively) are not paying enough to have adequste police resources to treat every property crime as worthy of any follow-up beyond taking a report after dealing with every other higher priority as determined by the people elected and given the responsibility for setting police priorities; the fact that a crime affects you doesn't make it a higher public priority than if it affected someone else, even if it does make it a higher personal priority for you.

If you don't like the current law enforcement priorities or the resources available at particular priority levels, you can vote for different leaders or (in states that provide citizen initiatives) for different laws setting enforcement priorities directly, or for more resources for police to work farther down the list of priorities.

Or—or just in the meantime—you can avail yourself of the system set up for dealing with private harms that is largely independent of public enforcement priorities.

people are definitely suckers for complexity.

Complexity of a system actually creates meaning for people that do understand it and can navigate it.

Complexity also justifies headcount and effort put towards maintaining, enhancing something.

Finally, people associate complexity with being smart. If you like simple things you are either a newb or you are [very] senior/old/experienced.

Ok. The cancer diagnosis rate has skyrocketed. That's a different point. In many ways this is good -- it means more people are living long enough with medical care to get a diagnosis.

I changed the word "shill" in an edit right after I posted as that was unfair/unhelpful and realized you might think it was directed at you. It was not. I welcome this type of debate personally.

> Do you professionally audit software?

I do as a matter of fact. I'll be honest it is normally much easier in closed products as I know what to look for. It is generally much harder to find flaws in popular open source systems as someone else has usally long beaten me to the low hanging fruit in critical codepaths.

I have been burned and seen others burned so many times by closed software and teams that ship security regressions that I now personally use only open tools I can audit at some level, or can audit the auditing and reproducible build process. I have seen "security" companies cut corners too many times in order to feature farm to trust anything that won't let me see the source code.

I have even professionally audited multiple systems on the spreadsheet myself, some of which I am aware of vulnerabilities for currently under embargo.

So far you have cited examples which I not only didn't ignore but responded to in the form of counter examples.

This is however turning into a open source vs closed source debate with subjective evidence, which in the end always boils down to if you have blind faith in a small group of people or not.

In the spreadsheet I tried to only include things that could be fairly objective, but when we get into concepts of trust of binaries and their authors, it gets muddy to be sure, and we will end up choosing paths based on our own threat profiles and experience.

This is why I tried to include -everything- in the spreadsheet I am aware of, so people with threat profiles different than mine can make informed choices.
Those modems should no longer be being used, period. If someone cannot afford a replacement and has an incompetent ISP incapable of providing them with a subsidized replacement, then that is a separate problem that needs addressing as soon as possible.

Perpetuating it won't do, and if in doing so we're perpetuating a larger impending security issue, then we need to resolve it stat, not defer everything because there is heaps of old hardware lying around.

That may be easy to say and harder to resolve, but there comes a time when problems need to be resolved. Maybe that won't be 2020, if the desired timeline proves unrealistic, but two years is plenty of time to move on it. It generally takes far longer to deprecate and remove protocols from the web than it does to get a replacement modem.

wow, we base this conclusion on the result of a supposedly creative task after a boring activity? im gonna assume the boring activity was actually boring because those are easy to create but you most certainly cannot define what is creative for these people.

Aside from this study, I would say boredom is not good for creativity. and for an individual who is not bored, as long as he can relax, I believe he can boost the right amounts of creativity.

> All "open source" really means is that the source code is available in some way/shape/form

I think that, in practice, there are very few people who have been around the block a few times, and still see things that way.

As a concrete example, consider the Microsoft Shared Source Initiative. That particular (arguable) boodoggle is the closest I can think of to a real test of whether there's a broad consensus on what "open source" really means. My impression is that most everyone who's looked into it agrees that a couple of the SSI family of licenses are "open source", and the rest are not, and that they generally agree on exactly which ones are and are not.
No, they do implement Horn clauses, it's not really super hard. Had it as a homework long long ago. Syntax is irrelevant, and it's not like Prolog has complicated grammar if you want to go for canonical syntax anyway.

Umm after 2008, the investors in mortgage backed securities didn't take a loss. Their securities were purchased en masse by the Fed via Quantitative Easing programs - about 4 Trillion worth.

Edit: it might be interesting to see if there is a recession in China (or globally), how the central bank there might respond in contrast to QE schemes that the US and European central banks used.
That only works if you trust the store, and you somehow only know how to audit from source. Neither is true for professional audits: you'd generally start from the APK anyway, even if it's minified, and in many cases you'd actually get the source (which is an optimization only, e.g. to make bug descriptions better/faster).

I think they're great even when they get "abused" (for that definition of "abuse" which I don't agree with).

> What I'm demonizing is overly powerful megacorps owning an unreasonable amount of the available "tech" revenue.

Whether or not that is a problem is a different discussion, but suffice to say the license change will not solve or change that. It is naive to think so.

> it's downright dangerous to license things permissively and try to build a business at the same time

Well, if you attempt to build a business on the permissively licensed thing, of course. I'm not sure I concede that building a business on permissively licensed thing, thereby changing its license, is required. Building a business around it? Developing it with funds acquired on other business? Remaining small and not growing it beyond its original development? All of these are sustainable development models too. Before being so quick to blame these "megacorps" like they did something wrong, consider whether the changes to correct this "wrong" even accomplish the goal and whether that goal has any value of being accomplished. The intent of the license change has less value than its practical effect, and the idealistic way we'd like open source to sustain itself and be profitable is not always the pragmatic one. Calling them "megacorps", saying they are the problem, saying you have no choice but to change your license, etc all of this is what I mean about the ill-perceived righteousness of license restrictions.

As an ultra runner I can tell you 130-150 is "vigorous" in medical literature. Actually for anyone over 30, maintaining 150+ is probably threshold and providing you different kinds of adaptation. Ideally you spend 80% of your training time in Z3. You use Z4 to train VO2 max and Lactate Threshold. VO2 max is not very trainable. Lactate Threshold is. Z5, once you are "trained" and can run in Z3 for extended periods of time (30+ minutes) is almost purely for speed work and learning to run faster. It helps develop coordination and push through barriers. It is mostly anaerobic, so some amount of intervals in Z5 is good. Z4 is longer tempo work and fast/hard intervals.

Marathons are meant to be run at the edge of Z3 so you avoid hitting your lactate threshold. Think of your ability to run in each zone as separate gas tanks. Your Z5 gas tank is very small. Your Z4 gas tank can be trained, but is still relatively small. Your Z3 gas tank is basically unlimited (ultra marathon pace, 50+ non stop miles possible for almost any healthy human). Cardio is not about suffering.

Most people should be fast walking to maintain Z3 rather than suffer it out in Z4 and Z5 when they are getting started.

Except China can't be measured in the same terms that a Western economy can be. The US can't just decide to forget all of it's debt, in the way China can given they have a command economy with the government playing a role in every business. Communist parties have nationalized entire economies in the past, and to suggest they won't do the same again is ignoring many of the actions that Xi Jinping has taken to bring back Marxist thought into the country.

Should the CCP decide to reset all debt, they could likely get away with it through measures that insure a lack of debt collection doesn't cause a dominoeing effect.
I'm aware.

But either it makes sense to use Command Pattern or not in any given situation and it has nothing to do with complexity really.

I don't see how someone could possibly use a command pattern when simple function would do - that would be beyond pointless. Which makes me believe that there must have been something to the nature of the problem question ...

(Though Lambda's wipe out so many of the simpler use cases of command pattern ...)

The fetishism of complexity in engineering (and our machine loving culture) is much like the fetishism of helplessness in some of our religions. Both intensely value surrender to an unknowable omnipotent power. A power addressable only by blind ritual.

US also has a lot more assets though and is an already developed economy. China’s economy will inevitably slow and for an emerging market, their debt is significant. Also, this is only local Chinese debt and not even the full picture for that. According to nationaldebtclocks, China govt debt is $5.2 trillion on paper but they suggest multiplying by at least 3.25 to account for shadow banking not on the official ledgers and local govt debt the article was talking about.

In all fairness, even a large proportion of real hackathons tend to be light on code, heavy on presentation. Maybe it's a misnomer but it doesn't stop them from using the term.

True hackathons, where everyone's technical, in the same place, and miles of lines of code are written on no sleep, pizza, and Mountain Dew, are really hard to come by, because few talented people have the spare time to do them, and they don't typically pay all that well. Older hackers also tend to avoid them because they're more likely to have incompatible family obligations.

The terminology doesn't suit it, but it's widely used, like "Software Engineer".
The problem with Uber is, that it's only really successful in North America. It's heavily restricted in almost entire Europe[1], and lags behind many regional providers, such as Taxify, where it's not. Uber's only real international win is huge stakes in Didi Chuxing, Grab, and Yandex Taxi. But it's not like the entire world is using Uber, or ever will.
