Hi, I’m Peter the CEO of CodeStream. I’ve been an internet entrepreneur for the last 23 years and I am very fortunate to have worked with the same management team during that time, with two eight-figure and one nine-figure exits under our belts. Commissioner.COM (now CBSSports.com) was the first to bring fantasy sports online. Multiply introduced the first social network news feed. And Glip, which launched the same month as Slack with a very similar product, is now the app serving RingCentral’s nearly three million paying customers. These three companies all had something in common, which is enabling group conversation and collaboration at scale.

Understanding code is one of the hardest problems in software development. At CodeStream, we think we have a novel approach to address this by first making it easier for developers to talk about code, and then capturing those code-based conversations and homing them where they belong -- with the code.

How we deliver the first phase of this functionality, and why we think it’s important, is outlined in the link above.

> So you have perfect pitch and does that equate to having a good quality singing voice (others enjoy listening to you)?

At the simplest there's 2 components in enjoying somebody sing:

- They have a pretty-ish voice that they master. Absolute pitch doesn't help for that, just like it doesn't help for any other instrument.

- They sing on tune. Absolute pitch doesn't help either, anybody can tune themselves on a background music. Even if a capella, everybody without an absolute pitch won't know if you don't start on the right note

People shouldn't look down on HR, however they often present themselves as the friendly, impartial intermediaries between employees and the company when they aren't. You should approach talking to them the way you would talking to the police: don't if you can avoid it, but otherwise, assume anything you say can and will be used against you if it's in the company's best interests to do so.
Ehhh, I imagine the seed/filament weight ratio is much closer than the human/filament weight ratio... if you blow this up to human size/weight proportions the filaments would likely need to be gigantic.
^^Nope. It just took forever to load.
But the monthly loan payments need to be made somehow, no matter what you use the loan for.

If you pay them with income, you paid income tax.

If you pay them by liquidating assets (including assets you purchased with the loan money and then sold), you pay capital gains tax (unless you sell for a loss).
I believe the tip jar at the coffee shop started when coffee shops, like Starbucks, started making more and fancier drinks. When I get a simple cup of plain black coffee I don't tip but when my wife and I are together, I get my black coffee and she usually gets a latte or whatever they call some of their more complicated drinks. I'll tip then because they actually put some effort into making it and I want them to remember us and make nice drinks for my wife the next time we're there.
It's not really a clear sign of anything. Many other things could cause that, such as a desire to learn new things often or changing jobs to increase pay after gaining experience. Technical work can be interesting and exciting at first, but become tiresome after a year of repeating the same shit.
Think about unstated needs too. There isn't just a single relationship that matters and the person you're talking to usually has different goals than the business you're selling to.
It’s not very well documented but you can change this feature of the Yubikey using the YubiKey Personalization tool:

In addition to the two methods listed, you can also remove the feature completely by deleting the configuration of the OTP slot entirely.
It's true, but I reckon[1] I can ask for the bill in 6 European languages :-)

I've had Danish waiters press the "No tip" button on their machine. One of them even said it was only used for "foreigners", which I took to mean Americans.

I really like their scientific forecaster discussion.
That would be a good service for the USPS to add, though unlikely that they would provide it for the same reason they no longer provide Notary services: in the US identification is generally considered a role for the state-level (it's a wonder we don't have state-issued passports and there is a federal agency involved in that much).

That said, I wonder if it would be useful to encourage more usage of Notaries for ID verification in such matters. There's no easy digital API to request a notary's involvement (yet?), and there are complications between states/countries in what powers/abilities/checks/balances notaries have. But it is an ancient business practice to ask "please get this form notarized with valid ID", so why not just update that for contemporary needs?
I don't see what the issue with uniquely identifying a system is. The main metadata of concern is what other mail servers are being interacted with.

No, the Great Filter is more general than self-destruction. Some examples I've seen of possible Great Filters we've already passed include:

libssh2 doesn't have server support.
So then I don't understand the parent comment. It sounds like if you want TLS v1.2 support, you don't have to do anything special in configuring nginx.
"Dark Energy Star" is pure marketing speak, and the pop science press loves sexy terms like that, whereas to serious physicists a hyphy phrase like that is going to throw all sorts of red flags, the same way an engineer would be appalled by someone boasting about Chaos Engineering. It's usually referred to as the Cosmological Constant instead.

This is all of the packages that depend on libssh in Debian Testing, doesn't seem to be very problematic, I've only heard of one thing on this list, and that doesn't use the server code anyways.

The lack of defaults on loans also takes away much of the incentive for the lenders to due any due diligence on the viability of your decision. They can lend and will get their money one way or another (except in extreme cases like your friend).
Do they handle a send-only smarthost configuration that allows arbitrary from addresses within a domain?
It varies by person.

I think it also varies for a person. My rule of thumb is, I don't want to make a habit of having my alarm clock be what wakes me up. For me, that means that sometimes I'm up and moving less than 7 hours after my head hits the pillow, and sometimes I'm still sawing logs 9 hours later.

Stress seems to be a factor. Which, ironically enough, means that the more I sleep, the less I need to sleep.

That his previous success came via a quick exit/acquihire, which is what's he's trying to do again.
Sorry, I meant „video metric.“
>> Hypothetically, let's say current ROI is $1.10 for every $1 spent. We stop spending for people who already bought a diamond. Our ROI might go up to $1.12 for every $1 spent. That means the ability to avoid targeting people who already bought a ring is worth $0.02 for every $1 we spend. A company comes and says "for $0.01 on every dollar, we'll give you that ability". Of course you'd take it.

But this is only if you are looking at 1 user right? The advertiser is making the call between the incremental income from better tracking vs the extra income from more impressions.

It seems as if they are choosing the extra income from more, but worse impressions. If they are not solving the online ad to online purchase, which in my mind, they arent doing because it limits the advertising base, which limits ROI more than targeting

> If you don't love to learn and to apply the things you have learned the tech industry really isn't for you.

Should that be the case though?

I'm actually skeptical that a lot of the new things are actually as valuable as we think they are. We tend to allow our feelings on technology to bias our estimates on productivity. I've heard tons of developers opine at length about how some new library, language, or platform increases productivity. It usually boils down to the "niceness" of the thing and how they feel using it, or some sample project that only measures time to first deployment, and not the overall maintenance burden. None of it is ever actually measured.
It just makes me so sad that I discovered HN so late !
When I was a kid there was a program called "MultimediaFusion".

It was a drag'n'drop with some pre-defined elements and included a visual logical editor to define how objects behave (if then do that). I used a lot, I had no one to help with instructions, no internet, i didn't even know english at that time but I was able to write some games (bricks/arcanoid clone, space invaders clone, etc).

I believe something like that would be a good way to teach pretty basic programming logic (no complex code).

But this was almost 20 years ago... I'm pretty sure there's something better (and OSS) today.
That page is annual, assuming you do full-time Fall / Winter and don't take classes during the summer. My numbers are per full-time semester, which is typically how tuition prices are listed (and how they are elsewhere on the website).
Listen first.
You might try the two-volume "TCP/IP Illustrated" set, although I haven't personally read those. Otherwise, no, as far as I know there was never an edition of "Inside TCP/IP" published after 1997, and no book exactly took its place.

Which is a real shame.

If you just want to get a good sense of UDP, ICMP, TCP/IP, datagram headers, and a handful of older protocols (like FTP), "Inside TCP/IP" is still valuable.
Doesn’t that break down a bit when you’re trying to stay relevant by branching out?
Which was probably triggered by Apple (see Android prototypes pre- and post-acquisition and this becomes clear). Like many, he thought he could replicate previous success, but he may have hit one home run by being in the right place at the right time.

> The machines did not allow a recount.

This is insane on so many levels. How would you even technically implement that? You'd have to make an effort to design the system like that.

Why would anyone, anywhere, EVER, put in place a voting system that doesn't allow a recount?

Paper ballots don't magically, invisibly, change over time or suddenly become uncountable or un-inspectable.
I remember a very similar YC company to this - I think it was called Ark. What happened to them?
I think this is only the case if you consider the mass density to be uniform within the event horizon, which isn't true.

Perhaps if you think success is only working at a FAANG or a unicorn in SF, this may be true, but there's way too many people making great incomes to disprove that.
Just keep telling yourself that.

Or, look up the right answer.
> They're different ways to describe the same phenomenon.

Well ... they're actually different ways to incorrectly describe the same phenomenon.

Wind tunnels are still used for aircraft design because we can't accurately model aerodynamics.
In addition to this, in some places the tips are shared. You don’t even know who gets the tip!
There are always exceptions to every rule, but what is your current process for hiring people? How to you take a list of 100-200 applicants and trim it down into a manageable list?
The various Pirate parties that are around are, as far as I know, universally against electronic voting.

So some politicians are against it. And if the most digitally clued-in politicians say it's a shit idea, but the incumbent digitally challenged politicians think it's great, I know who you should trust in the matter.
If tipping were truly a gift, which is what it should be then I'd be fine with it. But it's become an obligation using the excuse, "But the employer doesn't pay that much." Or "Those people get treated pretty rough."

And then people that should be tipped, aren't. I'm thinking about a helpful secretary at work that moves calendar entries around to get you a meeting with a high level manager, or a nurse working a double shift in the emergency room easing the pain of your kid's broken arm.
That's because (some) recruiters are lazy. If you came from a top 10, then of course the recruiters calling you would be restricting to that list. That's confirmation bias.

Aren't you curious about the world, about history, about psychology? You won't be able to learn deep rich history if you don't remember what you read in the first nine books once you get to the real payoff in the tenth book.
Yes. But my problem with it is that this rule was written as a solution for a problem whose roots dig far deeper and need to be addressed there, not at this level. Making this an unintended side effect. But I think you need to address the real problem too.
Another endorsement for "Why we sleep" here.

The book isn't so much about "why we sleep" but rather "why you should sleep more" – 350 pages of Walker telling you about study after study after study after study comparing well-slept to underslept people, and all of the afflictions the latter suffer from, often without even noticing it (and the consequences for industry and society).

While I found his contrived writing style annoying at times, the content is the kind of eye-opening that makes you want to buy a dozen copies just to give to your family and friends.
It's regularly detecting exoplanets down to slightly less than Earth-sized now, so assuming the orbits happened to be aligned the right way to make transits detectable at all, it should be able to detect all the planets except Mercury and Mars. Our hypothetical alien astronomers would put us down as a six-planet system, possibly worth a paper or two and a page in Alien Wikipedia :)
Yeah... basically looking backwards from the perspective of an infalling particle one would experience the full blast of the Big Bang as it occurred ‘originally’.
To be frank, I simply don't believe you.

Glad you found them informative. A solution would have to figure out how to get off the fossil fuels without sending the price of the end product through the ceiling.

That is part of the rationale for the current endeavors into creating lab grown meat and passable plant-based meat alternatives.
Composition determines density. A rocky planet would block less light than a gas giant planet of the same mass, because it would be denser and therefore smaller.

Seems likely that the planets with larger orbits have not yet been detected since they will take longer to reach a point in orbit when they are transiting their respective stars. It seems premature for the paper to reach it's conclusion when Kepler has been in operation for less than ten years, but hey... publish or perish.
Click through to the paper and you can view the figures and supplementary information for free. Protip: while it's frustrating to find a paywalled paper if you just want to know how it works the supplementary materials are usually unrestricted, better written, and easier to understand than the paper itself.

This is really good advice, early sales for founders looks more like a combination of problem diagnosis (often of your own feature set or assumptions which makes premature "objection handling" very dangerous as it cuts off learning) and project management.

I think Saras Sarasvathy's Effectuation Model offers some excellent guidelines on how to approach building trust and developing a viable business relationship. See https://www.skmurphy.com/blog/2010/02/07/saras-sarasvathys-e... and https://www.amazon.com/Effectual-Entrepreneurship-Stuart-Rea... for more on this.

Jerry Weissman's "Understand-Believe-Act" sales model is also a very good fault tree to use in diagnosing where your efforts may be stalled:

Understand: do prospects understand what it is you can do for them (here vision generation and simple explainer demos can help as well as basic case studies with clear examples).

Believe do prospects believe that you can deliver the results you promise (here technical proof demonstrations, benchmarks, case studies, references can all help).

Act: Do they have a reason to act. Are you addressing a critical business issue or a nice to have. What is the total cost of implementing your product (not just your price but any changes in workflow or practice or infrastructure that will be required). How does this compare to value. Is there a critical event or date that offers a strong reason to act.

See https://www.skmurphy.com/blog/2007/08/08/understand-believe-... and https://www.amazon.com/Presenting-Win-Telling-Your-Story/dp/... for more on Weissman's model.
This is a very confusingly written article. It repeatedly refers to Rekognition as a Palantir product, but it is in fact an AWS offering[1]. This is much clearer in the ACLU article they link to [2], which makes no reference to Palantir.

Right, but those resumes should fall into two distinct clusters.
How so? As a feelancer, I enjoy coming for a specific task rather than getting allocated to a "pool" of developers, though I also get offers from big customers to join into another project after completing one. If I only consider long-term projects from banks etc. my skill set would be much smaller. When working for start-ups, you often have dedicated budgets for a particular customer project of theirs or other time limitations, but the scope of your work can be much broader.

Edit: also want to point out that if you only have worked in greenfield projects where you could grow with the particular tools and practices of that project, you don't know anything about writing maintainable code

I am one of those "lucky" ones that have to train extremely hard to see minimal gains. That means Tabata sprints till (almost) vomiting, 3xHIIT in a row, lifting long sets till failure etc. Nothing else works. Look it up, I am not alone. I am very tall, so it is compounded with much stronger lever effects, higher risks of injury if anything in the movement is misaligned, higher risk of splitting/cutting tendons etc. Also requiring Prussian discipline to see any gains and overriding feelings to push forward.
When I read the Wealth of Nations I was struck by one of the passages where Smith basically says everyone under the age of 24 is worthless. That it doesn't matter what they do, send them to university, or send them to travel. But that they won't be useful in commerce until they're older. I'd assumed at the time that the lack of maturity was a modern problem problem due to coddling, but it's apparently at least a problem for 300 years (for at least the caste likely to read his book).

What struck me again later was finding out that 24 is the tipping point for the brain. That's about when the majority of brain matter is "gray" instead of "pink" (aka the process of myelination), which seems to be a biological rather than an environmental process. So this has likely been the case for a very long time (like 40,000 years or more).
Before moving to very-much-big-city, my very-much-not-big-city library had:

* nice meeting rooms we used for interest group meetups and community organizing (of the "pick up litter" variety)

* copies of TAOCP and of Bourbaki (pro tip: tell your librarians what you want!)

I never checked out TAOCP but I'd always show up to meetings an hour early to meetings and read a section. Also a good way to spend a cold Saturday. Made it through a good chunk.
