Java dev at a trucking company. Their IT shop grew organically and stuff wasn't exactly well-engineered at any level. We used Websphere on the AS/400 (system i now). When I arrived I found such fun practices as source control being a shared network directory and 63.5k JSPs (because >64k JSPs bombed).

Anyway, they had no real test environment but relied on a byzantine set of flags, logins, etc. to "test" in production. Being new and not used to the ropes, I nonetheless thought I knew what I was doing.

I was making a change to a Bill of Lading input page. I filled up a load with nonsense stuff like 50 barrels of beer and 10 containers of cats. Hit the button, eyeballed the change, said "yep, done".

Boss comes around the next day asking who had made a shipment request for beer and cats. I guess a truck had actually rolled around to the dist center to pick up this load; I guess the system lacked the "what" and just listed the quantities.

Whoops.

I was infamous for the beer and cats shipment for my entire time there, everyone conveniently forgetting the insanity of their staging environment setup.

TL;DR : Created a real shipment for 50 barrels of beer and 10 containers of cats
Developers and devops folks can certainly do this, I know I have had to do that before for my production data.

Part of the point (and the impressive software that has been built here) is that backups happen transparently, and if anything ever happens to the Helm you can get another one and get back up and running by restoring from online backups. It's the same principle: things can happen to your iPhone but you can get up and running with a new one easily.

Wow, a lot of negativity here. Quick, abandon all your hobbies and focus on programming! /s

Real talk: Prioritize. Some hobbies or interests will rise to the top, and most others fade off. It is true that the fewer you pick the deeper you will explore them, but many hobbies are quite shallow when you exclude the egocentric powerstruggling communities and focus on the fundamentals, and can be a constant source of unique experinces. Workout in the mornings, do a routine that includes short warmup, resistance training, and stretching/mobility, while keeping heartrate up for extended periods. Record your weights and seek progressive overload as your body adapts. But abs are made in the kitchen, diet is not unimportant.

You know what you need, give yourself that 60 min session. Put it on your calendar, treat it like a job interview. Dress nice, and make it a thing. Review your goals and progress. Set some rewards or perhaps even penalties for stuff you need extra motivation for.

I cannot speak to actual coaches. I am fortunate to have friends who I can occasionally bounce things off. It is always good to have a, somewhat disinterested, outside perspective for spotting 'obvious to anyone else' type issues. Reminder to cultivate your friendships, they are not static.

For doing stuff that does not need the internet, unplug it. Yup. Dead serious. You will feel like a damn fool each time you forget and try to check HN, email, etc. and quietly shame youself into keeping focused. Its like an electric shock when you are confronted with your, usually invisible, lack of self control. May work poorly in shared offices, and shared wifi. If your phone is the problem, turn it off as well. Works even better when it has an obscene boot time to let you remember and confront yourself. Part of improving is learning to change yourself willfully, and choosing to see whats ugly in yourself so you know what to change. Change for its own sake is just chaos, usually only useful when everything is bad and lacking orientation.

I once 'hired' a friend as an adhoc manager. I had a project that would make me money based on performance. Being unmotivated at the time, I offered her a cut, for everything above what I would lazily do. Ended up doing 3x the work just thanks to her refocusing me. She, meanwhile, had zero technical knowledge of my project, and frankly, didn't much care. This helped her see the big picture I was missing with my head buried in the logical challenge.

Never stop learning.
OK, tangental but concerning. According to that Comcast quote, are you not actually allowed to host a personal website using bandwidth that you pay for? Or is it specifically forbidding "public" web hosting, where "anybody" is allowed to host their own sites?

“A MUNI bus ride is 1/10 the cost of an Uber or Lyft…”

How I wish that were true. Certainly it can be depending on whether it is Prime Time and some other variables, but generally taking a shared Lyft or even a private one, MUNI is more like 1/2 to 1/4 the cost.

Now the thing working against a shared Lyft is if a trip on the bus to my destination will take 30 minutes, a shared ride will be about 20 or 25, so for my use case I’m almost always calling a private car except when time isn’t a factor but overall comfort is.

That is to say, it isn’t cheap, but it is competitive if you’re willing to pay a tiny bit extra for a much more comfortable ride. That said I still try to stick to public transit when possible, except when time is a factor and I can’t rely on the bus.
Sorry if that wasn't clear. We did not design our own ICs. We selected an SoC for its security capabilities and designed our solution to utilize it integrated with our firmware. We're using an SoC from NXP.
I guess Twitter took a zero-tolerance stance against voter suppression campaigns, whether the accounts involved are clearly satirical or not. They just flat out don't want people using their platform to spread the wrong election date, even if spreading the wrong election date is just 'trolling' or 'satire' or 'expressing my opinion on the liberals' to some. Again, I don't find that stance ridiculous.

I don't understand why you're so upset about this. If you don't think the product is a good value for your time and money, that's fine: don't purchase it.

I think Helm comes with some obvious trade-offs, but the product looks nice and I think (judging from other HN comments) there's a market for it. I don't know if it's a large market for this to be a success, but it seems interesting at least, and at first blush the product looks well-made.

I don't think this product is exactly for me as my main email, but it could be interesting as a side email service, or one for really sensitive emails. Depending on the price point, I'd consider purchasing. If the price point is too high or the maintenance costs are too large, then I won't. What's the big deal? That trade-off not working for you or me doesn't mean the product shouldn't exist.
Does it matter if Helm is pushing auto-updates?

Something is "closed source" if you literally can't get a copy of the source code. What is the antonym of "closed source"? The opposite of "closed source" is "open source" and it means that the general public can get a copy of the source code. "A permissive open source license" on the other hand implies the things that OSI is trying to confer on the word "open source".
Came into the comments to find this, and I'm going to expand on your description: I feel like quicksort isn't [uniquely] beautiful except when used alongside bubble sort to explain computational complexity (both big-O "worst case" and big-&Omega; "best case").

`. I don't mean "going vegetarian". I mean "going vegan". Milk, eggs, and fish have some of the same problems environmentally and ethically. When I say ethically, I don't just mean our responsibility not to bring harm to other species on the planet, although I feel that is important, but also our responsibility to future generations.

2. Yes, food is overproduced. Yes, too much food gets thrown away. However, this is massively dwarfed by the wasted food that we feed in animal lots, by a huge degree. Yes, me and my family going vegan doesn't have a huge impact, but it certainly massively reduces our carbon output, at a time when it just seems to be going up on a person to person basis. Last I checked, the amount that I was personally outputting was around 50% the US average. The only major difference was that I was vegan.

3. To maintain 7B people, most people will have to not eat meat, or eat it so sparingly as to be effectively vegan/vegetarian.

Let's present evidence:

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families...

> A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.

> It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car.

I don't care if you eat meat, but do it with honest realizations as to the cost. In a couple generations the costs will be clear, and our actions today regarding animal food production will be viewed for the atrocity that it is.
Disgusting indeed: A way to write irreducible loops that doesn't use a goto. Good idea to measure the resulting code, given how poorly most optimizers deal with such loops.

Even sadder because the same effect can be achieved cleanly (and "optimizably")by using as "switch" followed by a "while".
I've run lead gen campaigns there that were almost comparable to Facebook but can't they "worked".

I think the problem is, as an advertiser, treating it like I do the other social channels. I don't feel like it's similar to Facebook at all and has become even more different over time. Pinterest has similarly fragmented.

I see using content as remarketing ads to be effective there. But that's the hardest ad-use-case to prove ROI on, in my experience.
This is my perspective alone and isn't meant to sway anyone's opinion, this is just my experience as it's been.

Having owned and run my own mail servers myself for some 10 years, I'll tell you something for nothing. Owning your own mail server is not something that comes for free. At least, it wasn't for me.

Unless your product has brought something that's drastically different in terms of software, security and spam maintenance, it's too much of a pain in the ass for a non-technical person to manage. Heck, I'm about as technical as they come. I ran plenty of different kinds of mail servers in those ten years. The effort and inconvenience it caused in that time just wasn't worth it to me any more.

Having to stress out every time I moved, needing to make sure my internet wasn't shut off until I left the premises and making sure it was already on at the new premises before I could move anything, always being the guy on call if my mail server went down.

Then came Cloud and I no longer had to worry about physical hardware ownership and maintenance. I no longer had to worry about if my internet at home was working. The opportunity to move my mail server to a VM, and then hosted Exchange and now Office 365. This has offered me so much mental freedom, I don't think I could go back.

The added stress wasn't worth the extra flexibility and security in my mind. All my email is now handled by Microsoft. Sure it costs me a little money each month, but I've got the peace of mind that their security team is on it and while I'm pretty security savvy, I've got nothing on their security team. In addition, I'm not the guy on call when everything falls to pieces.

I realize that most technical people won't have my perspective on this, but it's definitely something you should think about.
It's a company with 10s of thousands of people. What did you expect?
I agree with you absolutely here. Yes, literally Helm does this: encrypted automatic backups.
Responses like these make me think the meme is actually dead-on accurate.
If the thing you're going against is "corporate server controls your data", why is the answer "EC2 proxy we control"? It sounds like I have to trust that server just as much, and essentially you're telling me you're, for some unspecified reason, more trustworthy than Google?

Do you have stats on e-mail deliverability given that you're suggesting I send all my e-mail through a random EC2 EIP? (Is it actually an EIP, or is it just default EC2 egress?)
There's also the Winter Tech Forum, previously known as the Java Posse Roundup, from the podcast. The recordings of the sessions certainly made me wish I could have attended.

Bash is fairly expressive and gets you the basics of programming, and then you can easily use a more complex language fairly easily and have all the abstractions from bash that lets you build fairly useful programs without having to build complex UIs.
> You could run a managed cloud e-mail service where only the users hold the encryption keys, too. How is this a hardware problem?

This is the key question, in my mind. There's only one reason I'd want to own the hardware—to manage/add/create my own services and handle my own backups because I don't trust a company's involvement in these[0].

If this is so tightly controlled that I can't add my own services and I can't restore a backup without Helm's involvement, why do I even want the hardware?

[0] I don't mean that I don't trust them in a privacy sense. I mean that I don't trust them to make sure the backups are actually working and able to be decrypted and restored. Or be able to be restored without their software/hardware. There doesn't seem to be any transparency wrt/ these concerns.
It's a bit more passive than that for the aviation stuff. Transport Canada has decided not to change the current policy. That's a bit surprising. A cynical person might think that they were just too slow to come up with such a policy and that there might be one showing up later.

Cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the regulations and is lumped in with any drug, legal or not, that can cause impairment.
Same thing with file transfer. You'd think it'd be a solved, easy thing by now--a gigantic datacenter/cellphone network is not the optimum solution to allow two people or two businesses to transfer a file between them.
Is it internal only?
I love pico 8, but I think that Lua is probably the worst language for coding in an editor that can fit so few characters on the screen, and it feels like using an external editor defeats the point. Granted, I haven't used the software in a couple of years, has it improved on the editor front?
Agreed. For a service that is about security, it honestly leaves me feeling very vulnerable, and I wouldn't consider it for that reason. I'm concerned about my emails being delivered, increased spam, a thief (or government employee) walking out of my home with my email server, my modem needing a reboot while I'm on vacation and not being able to send or receive emails, and my neighbor accidentally burning down my apartment, taking my email with it.

I'm a Fastmail user and pretty happy with the service. But, what's the real world benefits of Helm over an encrypted email service, like ProtonMail?
... What?

Since most email's not encrypted, how is having each Helm user's email hop through your server any better for them in terms of privacy than just hosting their email on a remote mail provider in the first place?

You could still record every incoming and outgoing email as it goes through your server, couldn't you?

I really don't see the advantage of Helm.

Calculus was broken up into two parts in my university. Part one covered limits, differentiation, and basic integration. Part two focused on integrating more difficult functions (I remember little else, and frankly not sure if most students need part two).

Others experience may vary, but part one was easy in that none of the concepts or calculations take much practice. I got an A without doing the homework. Part two was a pain for me because none of the problems you can figure out during the test (like integrals of weird trig permutations), and I got an D without doing the homework.

So the good news is that you just need to start and you'll have time to ramp up. Then just make sure to do the homework (I got an A the next time).
That's pretty much the destiny of any large corporation. There is almost no way around it.
