> The really difficult part of any venture is knowing how to distinguish wise advice from just another opinion.

The usual advice is to choose a trusted advisor with lots of experience in the field, listen to and follow his advice and see if it works. If it doesn’t, adapt.

Every other way is wallowing in indecision, losing time.
A decision won’t get better with ten opinions of which more than half are unfounded or even incorrect to begin with.

Looks like a great release even to a Postgres noob like myself. Only just recently started using Postgres but I really enjoy it and it inspires me to dust of my database skills and learn more SQL.

I'd like to take the opportunity and ask if anyone has any recommendations or "must have" settings to the Postgres-terminal. Preferably on MacOSX.

For I found the formatting acting kind of weird in some cases when selecting multiple columns or writing long queries. I figure there must be some things you setup at the start and then can not live without...

Any other tips are also welcome! Thanks
SmartyPig had this concept for a long time. This is the same play but looks more usable with virtual accounts. Saving for vacation, surgery, or recurring payments... I don't know why more mobile bank apps can't do this.

Do you consider libraries "Real-world software design"? Because libraries are where this kind of stuff really matters. Getting it right makes your library easily reusable. Getting it wrong makes all reuse a pain.
I don't know what to think either. Thinking about it at a higher level than this:

Some days I really think people don't know how to live under a democracy. There just always seems to be this segment of the population that want to be told what to think (and preferably told things are going well)

Some days I think liberty is the only way to live life, but that people mistake that liberty doesn't come at a cost. Most people don't have enough skin in the game to be willing to accept that cost. The original pilgrims, the founding fathers, and the lot did. There are attacks on our liberities that would have started revolutions (Patriot act being the most egregious example).

Don't know what to think anymore. Politics disgust me. I'm told I'm not even old enough to be this cynical.
Just the other day someone asked me "Do you believe [in God]?" I replied "everything is technology". I referred him to just this type story. Speech is technology. Writing is technology and therefore stories are too technology. Everything we hear or read from man is manmade. He paused and thoughtfully said "I never thought about it that way."
>I've noticed a lot of nail salons, barber shops, cheap takeout places, and similar somehow managing to stay afloat despite being located in low-income areas with little foot traffic (in Manhattan). They're also usually empty.

A lot of seemingly "empty" restaurants do a brisk delivery business, especially now that Grubhub can make it so they don't have to hire delivery drivers.
>Like walking in in front of a train

Agreed.

>or how cheating will make them fail a course because the screaming person will be the one failing them.

Completely disagree. In my life, there have been plenty of people for whom this is not effective. Screaming is good for urgent events that will have immediate and serious consequences. Failing a course is a long term consequence.

Also, beyond a certain frequency, screaming loses effect. I once transferred to a school that had lots of screaming and heavy corporal punishment. It was very clear: The screaming and punishment had virtually no effect on the students. It would reduce them to tears, and once the tears were gone, the behavior continued. In my prior school the frequency of such disciplinary measures was much lower, and almost always was more effective because it was rare.

So activists who are always screaming are destined to being ignored (this being only one of the reasons).
> It was also a policy decision driven by necessity. Nixon didn’t go to China for the lulz, China was going down a bad path dangerous to the west and western business was hitting a wall in many ways as well.

My understanding is that Nixon went to China to create a another pressure point on the USSR. The Cultural Revolution was bad, but mostly for the Chinese.

From my understanding n is the number of microplastic fragments.
n/kg looks to be "number of microplastic particles per kg".

As you suggest, the rock salt microplastics are not caused by ocean microplastic pollution. So those numbers represent the "background noise", and if you will, microplastics found in sea salt are 20-30 dB above the "noise floor."

A perfect example of why "use safe languages! C is the root of all RCE!" makes me immediately weary of a developer. Had the original poster been the author of such a library, he wouldn't have been motivated to spent much or any time investigating his implementation because he used a safe language.

Ooh. Radiation pressure. 23 million square meters * 8 microN/m^2 = 184 Newtons of thrust away from the Sun. Roughly 1/250 G of acceleration. That doesn't sound like much, but you need to counter it for stationkeeping. It's going to be a big chunk of the mass budget.

Actually, I'm pretty sure there's a surplus of containers (as well as pallets and other such materials).
Is there an OCI runtime for one of the BSDs available? I saw some commit messages in the containerd repository mentioning OpenBSD, but afaik running containers on BSD is still not officially supported?
> they didn't want to make that technology available to the masses

Do you have a source for this? It makes far more sense that it simply was not feasible to make a System/360 available to the masses than it was intentionally kept back. I would assume IBM would have been thrilled to sell one to everyone on earth, but it was expensive and physically large.

> if the tech exists but it's not reachable by common folks, in my eyes it's as bad if not worse than it not existing at all

I disagree strongly. If developing technology that isn't available to the public is worse than not developing technology at all, there goes research. No new technology makes it to the public in its original form.
EU resident here. It's routine to make employees sign non-compete agreements even when they're known to be unenforceable. The employer is free to sue, but it's generally understood that only managerial level people would end up in trouble.

I have been a Linux user for more than a decade - recently switched to OpenBSD and I must say I agree.

Linux has become a chaotic place to be, I agree.
I used OpenBSD for some time as a platform for a hobby servers around version 4. It is very stable, has low hardware requirements for a base system (I had running WordPress on 32MB RAM and Pentium 200 MMX to my amusement), has very fast and powerfull firewall / packet filter. It is one of the most elegant operating systems I've ever used. Simple in use but has huge functionality. I second that documentation is one of the best. Must try it again maybe on desktop this time.

Owning commercial real estate allows one to depreciate it regardless of it collecting rent or not.

It is not possible to close this loophole because 322 Prince St, LLC does not have to rent the space to Joe's Boutique for $7,000 a month rather than Starbucks for $17,000 a month - it can rent that space to "JP772 Holding, Inc" out of Nevada for $10/day which would be owned by the members of 322 Price St, LLC which would satisfy the rental requirement and keep the place unoccupied until someone offers $17,000/mo in rent.

A lot of really wealthy people inherited their wealth, they aren't doing anything useful.
That was a horrible ruling. Upholding private property rights does not restrict anyone's "fundamental rights and liberties". The two are not in conflict: no one has any legitimate rights or liberties with respect to anyone else's private property to begin with, no matter how much the property owners may have opened up their property to the public. The Constitution guarantees freedom from government interference in the exercise of one's rights; it does not guarantee the availability of other's property for that purpose without their consent.

However, the issue in this case is not restrictions imposed by property owners on the use of their own property, but rather restrictions imposed by the federal government, which is bound by the limitations on government power written into the Constitution.

That's great. Information on which brands are not contaminated is behind the ACS paywall. Good job, academia.
I don't see what it being formed in 2003 has to do with anything.

What exactly is being advocated in abolishing ICE when you bring up that another agency was doing its duties? Are you saying that other agency can take over those duties again?

Most of the abolish ICE crowd just wants to get rid of ICE and ICE's duties. I don't think they want the CBP doing roughly the same thing ICE is doing. They'll just demand we abolish CBP.

The Future of Digital Product Design Is About Human Empowerment
I (UK, aged 27 at the time) hired a contractor who was aged 73. We needed someone with a variety of experience to help us through a particular need, and a recruiter found him for us.

He was brilliant: He knew a lot, did a lot, and still wanted to learn. He kept his skills up-to-date trying out a new technology every year for personal projects. Having contracted for years he'd been in lots of companies and that also gave a lot of variety of skills and experience.

Edit: He worked 4 months for us, and we'd have kept him longer but he had plans to travel around Europe in his caravan for the summer.

Ask HN: How to get open source maintainers to work together?
I want to develop a simple CLI app that interacts with an API. So I search GitHub for a Python wrapper. There are 5 different libraries. Each nearly does what I need, but none are quite there. One is missing endpoints. Another has them all, but lacks OAuth. A third looks promising, but has no tests. The fourth and fifth might be OK, but they have poor docs.

There are 5 different sets of people here, all working on exactly the same thing. If they were to collaborate effectively, there would be a single, canonical, full-featured library. As it stands, it's a mess.

As someone who wants to build an app with these libraries, what should I do?

Should I try to get people to work together? What is the best way to go about it? Is it my place to intervene? What do you personally do when you see duplication of effort?

At least in the West, I'd say democracy has generally been fairly stable... but the forces opposed to it have strengthened or weakened over time.

Anything which deconcentrates or destroys capital (rapid innovation, war) relatively strengthens democracy.

An age of peace, and lack of political will to prevent innovation-capture by current monopolies, results in democracy weakening relative to commercial interests.
No, they are exactly the same. Despite what Apple marketing would like you to believe, the search app collects the same information when you perform the same actions on both devices.
At least here in the UK you can get UK rock salt, which I'd expect to be free of microplastics - it's mined from under the ground where it's been sitting for aeons, so unless the processing introduces microplastics (seems unlikely) I'd expect it to be pure.
yeah but in order to get access to that money you'd have to sell or cash out refi, or take a loan against the property.

So your kind of making money but if prices go down your in a much trickier spot.
We Removed jQuery
I agree that it's great, my big problem is that most web pages don't have anything to do with being an "application", they're just a document. I'd say that 99% of my web browsing has nothing to do with web applications. Hacker News, Wikipedia, search results, news websites, issue trackers... When I look at my browsing history I don't find many webapps.

Of course if you use a fancy webmail, Google docks or even something like Facebook it makes sense to have a full blown webapp but I personally seldom use these. But the thing is whether or not you need those feature they still bloat your web browser because you have to have it. How many websites ought to require JS to function properly out there? How many do?

Have you tried browsing the new Reddit interface on a low power smartphone? So much richness that it's barely usable. All that to display a list of titles or text comments. Or how about Discord which manages to lag in my browser despite being effectively a chat application.

Sometimes less is more. We've made it normal for people to use software that by default automatically runs a turing complete programming language for any random website you browse. If we had a tiny little bit of friction for going from website to webapp developpers and managers would think twice before cramming "rich" features and a thousand ad scripts everywhere.
It’s not circular. I’m referring to specific objections people raise, like misclassifying objects or failing to react or whatever. The current state of the art often spends several seconds at a time with its cameras pointed at a screen instead of at the road.
I would be very careful when appealing to gender ratio because the mere presence of a gender disparity does not imply an obvious cause of the gender disparity (nor does it necessarily imply a problem, for that matter). It may very well be the case that women naturally tend to choose different kinds of occupations.

For example, if a bro culture does exist, then it may very well follow from the gender disparity which is itself the result of other factors. This may in turn create an environment that is unappealing to the women who do enter tech.

For what it's worth, those 450 "signatures" were just members of an email list. That email list was founded to discuss ethical issues and draft a letter of complain, but discussion quickly fizzled without consensus on issues or solutions.

Then, a month later, this was published out of the blue. No prior communication, no broader input, not even the opportunity to opt-out.

Pretty unethical. As someone who was on that list, that letter is in no way representative... most had pragmatic complaints, like ethical oversight mechanisms to ensure engineers weren't transitively supporting dictatorships. This letter is so hand-wavy, simultaneously cynical and naive.
> our system is trending in a neofeufal direction

I agree, the direction seems that way in our new gilded age.

However, I'm not bullish on it being able to survive/thrive. There is just too much change happening. Feudal systems thrive in static environments, not frothy ones. With the rise of Africa in the later half of this century, climate change really starting to swing, the maturation/stagnation of the digital/surveillance economy, and the coming pandora's box of CRISPR-CAS9, the social/economic environment that is giving rise to this Neo-gilded age of corporate feudalism cannot stand for much longer. Life is going to be too 'fun' for the stodgy lords/CEOs.
This talent scenario is a plausible one that could turn the balance from huge companies taking all the oxygen out of the system towards smaller ones being able to innovate again.

Problem is like that XKCD comic about standards. People keep reinventing the wheel instead of embracing and evolving the one thing that works well and has existed for a long time.

other people tried different approaches, like, pipenv and is just that, a separate project trying to solve the same problem.

I don't know why / who said that pipenv is the official recommended way, if it is it should not be and I hope it is not.
I think he’ll be seen as a hero, if he actually delivers. That’s a gigantic if, though. I’m not at all sure that he’s sincere, or that he’s capable even if he’s sincere.
That would be a different argument. The parent was addressing the ridiculously overbroad claim that no one should profit from "increasing the lethality" of the military. Believing the military should be a "public service" is orthogonal to that, or at least uncorrelated.

You need to consider how broad "increasing lethality" is. The military is more lethal when the troops are healthier. Boom, you "increased lethality" by being a provider of combat meals or training equipment. By sending them less error prone weapons. By coming up with more aerodynamic shapes for the planes that consume less fuel.

If you want e.g. a tighter civilian review of military decisions so that they face tougher and more reliable consequences for unjustified killings, or less foreign deployment, then say that. Focusing on the "lethality of military" is the wrong target.

I would also highly recommend that you become familiar with these "much older generations" before generalizing about Silicon Valley's success stories. It's called "silicon" for a reason, and being unfamiliar with these individuals is pretty disqualifying in terms of being able to say anything about the area and its history.
Yes, this is an important point. I don't even notice my social security and other taxes really, and some of the charges like for workman's comp insurance don't even show up on your paycheck, but those payroll taxes are a huge issue for low wage workers. Plus they max out - so if I make 150k, my higher income basically leads to a tax cut for high wage workers.

I noticed that too. I'm not sure of the benefit of PWA on desktop, but I built a progressive web app, mainly because I need very few native features (currently only using push notifications) and I'm only one person so I don't have time/interest in writing native code when I can write for the web and be done.

I use it daily on my Android and it works well for my needs. I get caching and push notifications, my app is right on my home screen so just one click away. All this is very cheap (writing a service worker) compared to trying to figure out Cordova or Electron.
Research Article: Gender Bias in Nobel Prizes
If a commercial space is owned by the landlord free and clear, then the landlords have zero incentive to rent it to collect smaller than desired revenue unless property taxes are so high that the landlord must lease the space to at least cover the property taxes. If course that means that the rents skyrocket for all properties as the property taxes now eat majority of the rent.

If the landlord has a fairly regular commercial mortgage, it is probably IO + balloon in 10-15 years. The landlord's bet is that the property would appreciate enough that the landlord can refinance it for the next IO + balloon, kicking the can down the road for another 8-10 years. Pretty much no one operates commercial buildings with the idea of paying off the loans on them, which is why as long as the real estate continues to go up in a long term it is makes sense not to engage with small time tenants. The only time landlord has to engage with small time tenants is if appreciation of the property won't create enough equity to refinance the balloon payment.
