>In my case, I felt that I desperately wanted to work hard, but getting into a state of flow was rare, and as deadlines approached I often felt like I was pushing an unstable boulder uphill, like Sisyphus. I felt so guilty, even though I love my field. In my case, it turned out to be anxiety issues (though everyone is different!)

Interesting, I think I too share this "state of mind", so to speak. Sometimes I think more about how I should be working instead of doing whatever that when I actually get to do "work" I don't do it "properly" or "adequately" because I am simply "anxious" and the only thing I can think about is simply not fucking up instead of doing what should be done, just working. Hopefully that's your "similar" problem, however couple that with depression and laziness and you've got a recipe for failure like me ;)

But it's great that going to the psychologist helped you out.

I'm gonna assume you're American because the rule of thumb is to assume everyone is American on the English Internet by default because statistically it's more likely to be true and say that going to the psychologist is probably like more accepted there than here? Like here in Spain it took a little bit of convincing or "thinking" for my "public healthcare" doctor to assign me to a psychologist so IDK. Either way, great!

Hahaha, thanks. That's what you get as a reward for years and years of Introversion spending lots of time alone reading and commenting on reddit and more recently (over the last year or so) on HN and watching YouTube content in English everyday hahaha :)

My parents are also from Ukraine, and in my part of Spain the language commonly spoken "on the streets" is Catalan, so within the timespan of a day I always have to changee between and speak 5 different languages (Outside- > Catalan and Spanish, Computer-> English & Spanish, Family-> Ukrainian and Russian), sometimes even within a time frame of a minute, so I'm just used to "different languages" in general (sometimes I even wonder how do I not mix all of those 5 languages up and I've found that I tend to do that more at the spoken irl level, actually). But seriously, I am bad at math and that sucks for me :P

>Best of luck in your future endevours! :)

You too!
I'd love to see a writeup on why they even went with the central storage model at all – I'm sure there were many considerations but it seems as though CashApp was perfectly positioned to become a mainstream Bitcoin wallet with the private keys in the hands of the users.
> who were using their religion as a pretext to burn heretics/witches, torture homosexuals and in general oppress the weak and the diverse as well as the ones that today are still trying to infuse young people with their toxic shame when they are non-conforming.

While I cannot and will not defend everything that has been done in the name of my religion it's kind of disingenuous to discuss this without simultaneously acknowledging that more people have been murdered and tortured with a pretext of reason and lack of religion.
Despite what we hear in the media, the world has gotten so much better in many ways in the last couple of hundred years. That's not to say there aren't big issues, or no things that have gotten worse, but there's a clear and very strong overall trend.

Personally I'm still pretty annoyed you can't replace the default url handlers for stuff like Maps and Mail. Every time Apple Maps pops up I curse them.
Writing certain data structures in safe Rust can be hard, but not impossible. I’m not aware of any data structures that simply cannot be written in Rust.
Well, keeping marijuana illegal hasn’t stopped anyone who wanted it from easily getting it. What it has done is led to selective enforcement and prosecution of the poor and minorities.

Anything that takes a weapon out of the hand of the “Justice system” like making it legal is a net positive.
Despite Java's growth, C remains the language of choice for operating systems and C++ for web browsers, desktop applications, games and high performance web services.

Rust is really only competing with C/C++, not JavaScript or even Java (or Go).
How does it differ from sites like https://stackblitz.com/ other than supported languages?
Yeah it's fine not to know what docker is in like a moral sense. But when it comes to wanting to write anything beyond hello world you start running into package and environment and container managers that everyone is arguing with everyone about. I mean hell this thread is like three different recommendations for python that all end with "fuck it use JavaScript".

That shit is discouraging and the annoying thing--coming from some who first wrote a Tetris clone a decade ago--is that it's recent. A decade ago you just downloaded a library and put it in the folder you were writing in. Now while that still probably works library how-tos have all either gotten complicated or assume you've already complicated that shit.
Wow, really interesting and informative. I'll try to read the link carefully and actually get to understand what the author is trying to convey.

Thanks a lot!
With HD wallets you can generate receiving addresses based on the master public key of a wallet, without needing any private key.

Is there a reason for not receiving funds straight into the cold wallet?

Edit: in the docs it seems that you indeed receive funds directly in the cold wallet
On the other hand, as someone who knows a little js from the bad old days but has been doing python for over a decade, trying to get up and running with a modern js environment seems totally cray cray to me.

Usually, for me, I start by installing node. Ok, so I guess I need to install npm now. No problem, I guess that's like pip. Oh, I need yarn. It's better? Ok, I guess python had the same growing pains with easy_install. Oh, looks like when I installed npm I used sudo, so now I need to fix file permissions burried somewhere in my file system. Okay, I guess. At least when I get this running things will be a little better.

Oh, I need bundler? I guess that makes sense. Gotta configure a build system. Programing languages need build systems if you are creating distributable assets. Makes sense so far.

Oh, I guess I should have used webpack. Okay, lessons learned. I guess since I am using ES6 features I need something called babel too. Cute name for a transpiler, btw.

Oh no, I guess that 4 month old tutorial I followed that showed me how to set up babel with webpack used the old plug-in names. They are different now. Thats interesting. Gotta move fast, tho. I guess...

Huh, it still isn't working. The 6 different config files all look right. Oh, wow. Turns out that the behavior is different if I wrote the config files in json vs yaml vs pure js. Guess I gotta rewrite them in pure js to get at the real shit.

Okay, seems like I got all that mess sorted out. Let's add a few libraries to my packages manifest...

Huh, the docker containers are taking an awful long time to build suddenly, I wonder why that -- WHY THE FUCK IS node_modules 7.5GB and contains 82000 files, aghhhhgh?!?!

(I kid, I kid. But not really)

I guess a lot of that is just cultural differences between js and python communities, but as someone who considers themselves a reasonably competent programmer, trying to get onboard just seems like too much.

Contrast that with something like Rust, which I have also been trying to learn. Rust is positively delightful by comparison. I spent a cumulative total of 15 mins getting an environment set up. Which means I get more time to actually learn how to work with the language itself, instead of setting up tooling.

Maybe it will sort itself out a little as the node community matures and settles on what the right way to do things is, but for now, it's so much work to even get started.
> You can also have the government out to ruin your life if you don't cooperate.

What if it's the Chinese government that's putting pressure on Apple and Amazon? What would Tim Cook do if he was told on no uncertain terms that Apple would be kicked out of China and its iPhone production lines shuttered if it confirmed this story? Even if the chance they'd go through with their threats is small, it's an enormous risk to Apple and taking it would be hard to justify to its shareholders. FAANG companies are clamoring for access to the Chinese market, and that gives the Chinese government a lot of leverage.
I'm hoping the talk or more info on this is going to be available somewhere - that sounds really cool
Alright, I'll look into it, thanks!

Problem is, as always, actually getting started with something, though :/
That's something I loved about Windows Phone, UI was very consistent.
I'm waiting for game engines to pick up Rust.
I don't think the potential for spaghetti code is the problem, I think it's more the terseness of Rust code that makes it hard to read (speaking as someone who doesn't know Rust very well, but has a mild interest in learning it). I agree with the above complaint - it does feel a bit terse and that makes it harder to read IMO.

Languages like Java are more verbose which does make it a bit more frustrating to write but on the flip side I find them easier to read.

Actually the MS 'Metro' design used in the ZuneHD and Windows Phone UI (best Home screen design by far) were both more logical and discoverable than the iOS UI (well until they released the Win Phone 10 UI with the hamburger menus...), but everyone just learned how to navigate iOS because 'everyone's doing it.'

I still believe the iOS UI is terrible. Navigation is all over the place, the wall of icons gives no preference to priority (other than creating folders), the icons and colours change (as mentioned in the article) and interaction is inconsistent (press/long-press).

But everyone learnt the interface so now it's 'good.'
To be fair, it's much more likely that Julia will be stealing Python's dinner, rather than Rust.
Yes,

When we start on Mars, with a difficult challenge, make a bit of headway and then wipe-it out for some short term benefit on Earth, then it can serve as an object lesson.

Surely that will convince us to conserve life on earth when none of the other obvious arguments seem to do that convincing.
Ugh. If I ever get a car again, it will most definitely not be a new one.
This entire issue is about non-US nations being dependent upon Saudi (and more generally - OPEC) oil and thus being directly dependent upon the dollar. Reducing our direct reliance on oil benefits the petrodollar by increasing the ratio of foreign players removing USD from circulation for us, but I don't think it's a big player in either case. The numbers you reference are per day, not per month. The scale of these things is quite remarkable isn't it? Now compare our consumption to our estimated entire reserves of oil. The US may well become energy independent in the longrun, but it won't be on oil.

But to a degree this is also the same for the entire world. Global oil consumption is expected to peak in the late 2030s. As demand for oil declines prices will go up to try to sustain the standard of living that OPEC nations have grown accustomed to. But as this happens it will make non-oil alternatives even more economically justified leading to even less oil demand in the longrun which leads to higher prices which ... This is what I meant when I said that the petrodollar is dying, but it's still going to be a long slow death which gives us hope of finding ways to stabilize things before then.

You can even see direct analogs of this entire scenario with China. China seems to be investing based on the presumption of an electric/renewable heavy future and are working to corner some important resources there. Outside of simply becoming world leaders in the tech themselves, the world's cobalt supply, for instance, is now being heavily controlled by China. They aren't even operating through proxy, as we did with oil. What this will mean is that, if China's 'bet' turns out to be true, is that the get access to cobalt you'll need to play by China's terms which could, for instance, involve trades being settled only in yuan. And suddenly we have the 'cobalt dollar'. Everything from solar cells to lithium ion batteries are all dependent upon cobalt. It's quite a prescient move. The big difference is that oil was irreplaceable, cobalt is perhaps less so.
Users lose their keys all the time. The cost of support calls alone would probably be higher than the cost of developing a cold wallet solution, especially since it sounds like they already had HSMs and the expertise to use them.
There is a difference between feature use and phone usability. A lot of people seem to give Apple a pass on usability because Apple are stylish, or the marketing says they're brilliant, or something.
I’m assuming you mean Trump?

If so, you’re doing yourself a disservice by dismissing him as a joke. I hate the guy as much as anyone but he does deserve some credit.

He saw the way he could win when everyone else thought he was a joke. By the time anyone realized he was going to win it was way too late.
I'm in Indonesia. There are so many cheap, easy to access drugs here. Need amoxicillin? Get it over the counter for less than $5 US.
It also happens to have a relatively shallow gravity well; if we can figure out how to economically exploit the rare (on earth) materials in space, Mars could be a good balance between habitability and low-delta-v accessibility.

My biggest gripe about iOS is how terrible autocorrect is. Even as I type this, iOS is aweful at predicting what I'm entering when I miss the letters. When I had an Android phone I was always delighted that big G was so good at getting my words right and at predicting what I would type next so I could speed up my input just by selecting the right words at the top of the keyboard. Impossible to do with iOS.
Wouldn't a self sustainable pod in Antarctic or the bottom of the ocean be the starting point?

The poster is poking fun of the fact that you can partially apply or over apply a JavaScript function and it will still run.
I think you're confusing 'number of people using something' with actual usability.

Just as everyone learned to use Windows because it was everywhere, people learned to use iOS. That does not necessarily mean it's especially good.
> Compared to the accepted norm that malware apps are almost routinely found in the public Google Play store.

That reminds me of the 1990s scenario of having to know and understand FTP in order to install a web browser.

Wouldn't it be more sensible to have it preloaded on the phone? I presume the OS is already regionalised, so they could include the appropriate manual.

> The first article is literally titled "Is Criticism Of Billionaire Elizabeth Holmes Sexist? Yes & No", implying at the least that some criticism is sexist

If you read the article, you would have seen that criticism of how she ran the company is not sexist. Criticism that incidentally says sexist things is.

> The story would have played out differently if she were a man.

Holmes isn't a journalist and has made many fraudulent claims. This doesn't support your claim.

> Elizabeth Holmes is a great example of maybe why the women are so frustrated. She is a woman entrepreneur who built a fabulous company, did great things for consumers and she got attacked,"

Again, this quote is from a Theranos investor, who has also made many fraudulent statements, not a journalist.

I note with interest how you don't justify your other links at all, which don't even obliquely support your claim.

I should have been more specific: this works for me up to a point, but there’s no way to keep scrolling. To see what I mean, try to use that method to delete the last character of a long URL in the address bar of safari — you can’t scroll all the way over to it.

> On 3D Touch devices, pressing harder does this.

I had suspected that might be the case, and I’m able to reproduce it now. Not having any haptic feedback on the second, harder 3D Touch feels inconsistent though.
The Great Oxygenation Event [0]. Arguably the planet's first mass extinction.

Your argument connecting blowing-off natural gas and the current antipathy to pipelines today is false and disingenuous.

Essentially, it follows the logic that the only way to keep corporations from devastating the environment is giving them some positive market incentive to not do so. But of course, given zero regulations or morality, there's always going to be an economic incentive to toss some poisons in lakes and some pollutants in the atmosphere - because some things just aren't useful and if you have zero-cost disposal, that the (amoral) path of least resistance.

I'd go the opposite rout. Polluting in whatever form should be illegal. Polluters should be fined or go to jail, whatever is appropriate. "I could make money with my stuff so I tossed it/burned it/whatever" should never an acceptable explanation or excuse.

>The idea that the UK is the promised land is just an arrogant and ignorant attitude.

That idea seems to be common to a lot of immigration officers all over the world. Its not restricted to wealthier countries or countries of any particular ethnicity.

Its a real shame from a tourism promotion perspective. A tourists first interaction with a local is likely to be when they meet an immigration officer on arrival. Those same immigration officers are likely to be the tourists last encounter with a local.

Those interactions are, at best, brief and indifferent. At worst it involves the visitor being subjected to paranoia and suspicion for a prolonged period of time.
Already happened in the UK: Sargon of Akkad and CountDankula joined UKIP and are out there speaking out about their brand of alt right/lite YouTube politics.

What kind of impact this will have remains to be seen. UKIP is still a fringe party for now.

Apple could probably do a better job with some of their design decisions, but that's the nature of iteration and making decisions. Nothing is so absolutely perfect it literally fulfills a person's every wish and dream. Of course there's opportunity for improvement - that's why there's been 12 versions of iOS and things still change.

People are different. That's part of designing for an audience - software design needs to balance micro and macro level affordances. Extremely customizable isn't always extremely pleasing. 'You can please some people most of the time, but you can't please everyone all the time' (or something like that).

This is a case where someone isn't pleased. Some claims are true, while others are hot air. Based on the author's blog, they enjoy being a self-righteous asshat on the internet. If the author strives to bring points to light in an abrasive and inflammatory manner, rather than a sensible and constructive dialogue, then at least he has that working out well.
