The site looks good, I like what you've done here. The article came up after some delay!

I'm quite interested in decentralised publishing, this is an interesting first step!
You can't just appreciate them for being reportedly the biggest commercial open source contributor, while still hating them for everything else? There surely is some nice, open source tools from Facebook and Google, that I use on a daily basis, but I trust those companies only as far as I can see them, too (which isn't all that far).
Weak. SoftBank has always seemed suspiciously large and cavalier. I expect there's a venture analog to the expression "there are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots." Let's hope they stick the WeWork landing ...
As for me coding on the phone was exactly the thing why I wanted to buy a smartphone in the first place (and why I've bought one equipped with a qwerty keyboard initially). But I've soon found out no reasonable mobile IDE exists. I would have be glad to code on my smartphone (now I have Galaxy Note which is reasonably big and I can attach an external keyboard) if only there was a good (like PyCharm) IDE. Autocompletion is especially important on a mobile and the only 2 [non-mobile] IDEs I know to have good autocompletion are IntelliJ Idea (and its derivatives like PyCharm) and Visual Studio.
Sure (sorry about being cryptic).

Steve Pavlina is one of the first superstar of the online self-help world (dating back to 2004 or 2006). It started with an article on a famous website for programmers (can't remember the name atm) about how he dig really deep with his first game and so others were playing catching up but he was raking in a steady monthly income (see where we are going and who would be interested ?).

Then he started his personnal weblog (yeah, we used to call'em weblog in my days) about self help and how he experimented with polyphasic sleep (sleeping 3 or 4 hours a days in twenty minutes increment, see the kind of folks that would bite that bait ?). So far, so good.

Then he went full crazy with psychic powers like talking to bird, being a telepath, reality shaping (aka the secret), etc.

His article were 10 or 12 A4 pages long (wonder how that goes nowadays) and it was kind of mesmerizing to see all that happening in real time (I admit I got first intrigued with his time management article and I kept reading for the crazy).

There was a funny experiment with polyamory and it ended with a divorce.

See http://edificial.blogspot.com/2006/08/church-of-steve-pavlin... for the church of pavlina and https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Steve_Pavlina for links and stuff.

Of course they guy was kinda successful (financially).

Hustle Culture: What does it mean, exactly? From article:

>"maximizing every last bit of energy you have in order to produce"

>To be clear, hustle isn’t just hard work — it’s showing that you’re working hard.

How anyone can imagine this is supportive of creative work, I just cannot get my head around.
> It's odd to assume that the entire effect is therefore determined uniquely by "women's choice." Is there evidence of that?

I don't think anyone is claiming choice is the "entire effect" but I do think there is evidence that choice is the overwhelming effect. Let me ask this, do the women you know complain about an under-representation of women working at Discount Tire or in the field of Underwater Welding?

In America, during WWII a large number of women went into these types of occupations because of war time necessity and they showed they could perform the required duties just fine. But after the war most returned to traditional domestic roles. Are you saying that was not, by and large, their choice?
> Science is merely a set of tools and processes, nothing more. Seriously, NOTHING more.

Nonsense - that ignores that fundamentally science is a human activity. Because it is a human activity it is open to the same biases, self-deceptions, fads, groupthink and political pressures as any other human activity.

Apart from that, implicit in your defense of science and attack on religion is a belief that true knowledge can only be attained through the scientific method, and nothing which is true can be acquired outside of experiment and observation, which itself is a faith based (though pragmatic) argument.

That being said, I make no claims for the existence of a God, Abrahamic or otherwise. At the same time you could be a little more circumspect and humble about what you know to be true.

I agree completely. Isn't it how apple chooses to use that data that matters most? Choosing to help me with this information vs. choosing to sell to advertisers. Or maybe even more to your point, apple could NOT use the information!! Apple keeping the data encrypted to my device means its no longer available to the market. I friggin HATE receiving notifications from lending institutions about "what we share" and its a long list of advertisers, and there's not a thing I can do about it. (Edited this comment quite a bit to be more clear)
It's turning "something you know" into "something you know and something you have".

For most people it's completely redundant because the passwords database is also "something you have". But it leads to some nice possibilities.

For these roles, we are only considering applicants who can prove eligibility to work in the UK.
Yes, absolutely. But that’s for kids you know. You’ve seen them enough over the years to have an idea how they work.

The next step is to find a way to measure the grit of someone you don’t know. You don’t have the opportunity to wait for grit proving moments to arrive naturally, you have to figure out a way to force that test artificially.

The next step is make that test consistent, free from cultural biases, and easy to administer.
Functionally yes, most apps could be mobile websites except for one thing:
Mobile users don’t use bookmarks.
Mobile users use icons on the home screen.
It is easier for users to add an app to their home screen than a website.

Twilio Outage
> How are those people on said websites (and almost any other medium) supposed to make money?

1. Have less annoying ads that respect the user.

2. Charge money.

3. Some novel funding model that's unexplored because obnoxious ads dominate everything and suck all the air out of the room.
Probably you're right, I might not be up to date. Can you recommend a good paper or author for reinforcement learning in philosophy?

Oh I do not think so. People vary considerably, and gender is a part of that.

What I did not do was declare all people of a given gender different in some immutable way.

Women and men overlap. What we are seeing is more of the feminime presented, and that is womens contribution as inhibition is reduced.

There are guys who operate that way, and they are not common. There are women who operate quite masculine too. Both not so common.

Over time, again as inhibition is reduced, people will present more as who they are, with greater role freedom, and that is a very good thing.

The workplace will be more vibrant as people are represented in all their shades.

That too is a good thing.

I am not judging people, the genders, etc... others have, and the pushback on that is understandable.

The goal here is those who can do the work, desire to do it, should be doing it. Ideally, they present as who thay are and everyone works together with mutual consideration, respect, etc...

None of that is controversial.
I really recommend GitHub pages but you actually have to fork a theme and modify it to suit your needs (it's fun and possibilities are infinite). You don't have to push everything to GitHub wile you debug your theme and prepare your post, just run Jekyll and see everything on the localhost and only update it on GitHub when it seems finished.
Are there any command-line tools that will let you see and/or edit all this metadata?
While that sounds crazy on the surface, it really isn't. For one thing, your necessary household expenses (rent, food, utilities, etc.) don't generally scale linearly with your individual income; your expenses don't double when your income does. For another, absolute value, not just percentage, matters. Spending an extra $240 a year matters a lot if you're making $25K; if you're making $150K, it matters, well, less.

I always heard adages and advice about "watching pennies." In practice, though, I've found that I'm far better off looking after the pounds and not worrying about the pennies: that is to say, set up savings targets that get treated like necessary expenses, and to not worry too much whether lunch is $7 or $12.

>What is not specified here is the sense of 'rationality' that is required of moral realism. It is not enough that something be coherently deduced from stated premises, because we can state different premises, use different categories, and make different distinctions. What is required is that there is a sense in which we can all be rationally compelled through argumentation to adopt the same premises, categories and distinctions. And that is, frankly, absurd and untrue.

I'd think that defining "rationality" as "a sense in which one can be rationally compelled through argumentation to (verbally) adopt premises, categories, and distinctions" is circular. You end up sorta just defining "rational" as "the thing we do in the Agora".
Enabling recurring bill pay across the board is inviting overbilling, especially from services you no longer use. There's a reason companies incentivize you with a $5/mo 'green savings' to go autopay e-billing. That is fine if you don't care, some people's time is more valuable than others, but the potential savings gained from reviewing bills before paying is substantial.
Please point me to a paper treating consciousness from the point of view of agent, environment and rewards (reinforcement learning). I have searched and found very few papers taking this angle. I concluded that philosophers don't know about it.

In my view even using the word 'consciousness' is a bad thing because it is not well defined and has too much baggage (some people relate consciousness to spirit or soul, for example).

Instead we should use different concepts, the ones I enumerate above. They cover sensing, prediction of future rewards (emotion), acting and learning. All are concrete and well defined, with possible implementations in AI.
Ah those pesky Nutrals....
I'll call bullshit or your victim mentality shtick.

First, things like "at-will employment", which is an offensive term in itself, is pretty much collectively "the workers" fault, since you just vote to not have that, and while you're at it, better labour laws also (see Europe). While we're at collective bargaining, it could be something as simple as everybody in the office agreeing not working past 5pm, or at the other extreme, unionisation.

The reason neither of these things happens is largely self-centred narcissists who ruin it for everybody, because either they can only think of themselves and not others (e.g. if you're single and don't mind staying late vs somebody has kids), or less charitably, they thought of others and then did it anyway. IMO here's the money quote:

> To be clear, hustle isn’t just hard work — it’s showing that you’re working hard.

Of course it is -.-

Only people on this site have willingly enabled 2fa (to a decent first order estimate). The remainder are forced to by tenant administrators or the occasional application owner who understands they gate important data (eg NuGet requires 2fa for some package owners).

"2fa" as traditionally thought of is a bit of a detour though - what's more important is strong authentication, with passwords being worst and a UAF key being best for now. Authenticator apps satisfy 2FA with a single authentication, but that freaks out plenty of smart people (phone PIN lock + device bound cert = something you know/are + you have) - purely due to years of training that 2FA means 2 authentication.

Quite nice. node-http-proxy is awesome, lacks a few features (but has a few more such as websockets). Redbird has http2 as well.

But to be frank, we have used node-http-proxy and other stuff before. It doesn't end with development. People put this to reverse proxy API calls in production, and then the other stuff that this calls into - it also uses proxying to call more stuff. In general, if you find yourself using this as a "convenient, declarative way to route" in production, you _might potentially_ be digging yourself a hole. The lines between "harmless reverse proxying" and "service routing and discovery" can become thin.

“I was only following orders”
>This is textbook Google propaganda that has been repeated at least since I last worked there 5ish years ago. It's bullshit though because the ratio of competent to incompetent engineers was the same as at FB, MSFT and NFLX (with the latter tending to prune the fastest).

But those companies use hiring practices that approximate, to a high degree, what Google does. Facebook and Netflix certainly do, and Microsoft has a high enough rate of bad hires that you are required to reinterview to switch teams, so that high performing teams can keep reject bad candidates who are already at Microsoft.
The banking and payments infrastructure is such that most of it is handled by intermediaries and other companies anyway. Most banks, for instance, do not issue their own cards or process their own payments - this is done by an intermediary. It's probably easier for Apple to break into banking by making the right partnerships than you think.
Ballot Initiatives Are Powerful, and the Powerful Have Noticed
Parental leave is not a safety net. Parenthood can be planned - it isn't some random catastrophe that befalls you for which you need an insurance safety net.

Note that I do support strong parental leave policies, and advocate for such wherever I work.
All valid points. But there two other main reasons I see as why (strong) passwords are essentially a superior choice to everything:

1) Using passwords properly is an exceptionally powerful way of protecting your account/data/etc. If you use strong, unique passwords and store in a password manager (with the PW database encrypted, of course), it's virtually impossible to break into anything on the user side of things. You might be able to gain access via the server/business side depending on the hack you are pulling off, but that's on the company rather than the user. For instance, I do personally have my passwords stored in a password manager with an encrypted database. They're all unique and strong, as is the password used to access the password database. That password exists only in my mind. It's not written down anywhere or stored in some file on any computer. It's not physically printed out on paper or anything like that. It literally only exists in my head. And given its complexity and length, there is effectively nothing that will be able to break it in any reasonable amount of time. The government also can't force it from me as they could with other methods like 2FA, QR codes, fingerprints, etc. due to 1st amendment issues. Basically, short of getting me to log in from a compromised (i.e. keylogged) device (highly unlikely) or torturing me for the info, there's no way of getting it. And if you're willing to torture me for it - ok, you win then.

2) From a technical point - basically every device we would use to log into anything has either a keyboard (whether physical or on-screen) or some sort of keypad (again, physical or on-screen). This makes for universal compatibility. If people need to have special QR-code scanning/creation software installed on a device, or fingerprint-reading hardware - that creates a non-trivial barrier to the device compatible with the login process.
That's the theory. But isn't the premise that by working 8 hours a day à la Ferris you'd end up working 10 times more than the others in the rat race ? (at least that's the vibe I got back then).

It's still about being super efficient though (4 super efficient hours a week. Let's be honest anybody who could do that would do it more than once a week).
He's got a point. 99.999% of programmers are never going to need to know this, and the time wasted reading it would better be spent inventioning a new JavaScript UI framework.

Let me preface this by a large percentage of people in advertising are not creating #1. BUT:

1. That's fair, but it takes time and talent to create these.

2. Clearly that isn't working; see almost any news site in existence

3. This is a hope, and a nice one. https://scroll.com/
Agree.
Also many people ignore that it is actually possible to accept that something is unknown, at least at a given moment.

Many of the most absurd beliefs are the consequence of people not being able to accept that there is not an answer (yet) for a phenomenon. So instead, they rely on "believing" to create an illusion of certainty for themselves.
These are great questions:

1. You can use Millow (in "single-player" mode) without anyone ever seeing you've added them. You can set reminders for a friend, and log when you meet. This is all private, and won't ever be visible to anyone other than you.

The only feature in the app that currently changes if you've added someone is the "availability" feature. So if you add your availability, and you add someone as a friend, and they add you as a friend, and they see your availability, and then you remove them as a friend, they will cease to be able to see your availability. However, this experience is also identical to the act of deleting your account. So your friend may just think you deleted your account. But yes, your point is still valid, and we don't have a great answer for this. At the end of the day, we want you to only add friends that really matter, and if someone ceases to matter, there's really no easy way for our product to help with the difficult conversation you may have to have.

2. Fair enough! We designed the app for those that need help, so we're happy for you that you're doing this already :)

3. The research (which we mentioned in our learn more section) talks about dormant friends that you would want to reconnect with, but aren't actively in your life. I grew up in Pakistan, and many of my best friends still live there, but now that I'm in California, I don't get a chance to reconnect with them anywhere as often as I'd like. And I also don't know when they're free. Also, even for friends that are local, sometimes life just happens and a lot of time goes by before people meet up. If you don't have friends of this sort, that's great, but this is an issue that many people face, and they're the app's target audience.

Ask HN: Should you put your freelance experience on your resume if you work FT?
I’m wondering if or where it would be beneficial for a developer to mention freelance work they’ve done while working full-time. My understanding is that some employers own their employees’ IP, so how do they view a potential employee who regularly does freelance work outside of their 9-5? If the freelance work is related to your FT position, is it a net positive or negative?
That's awesome and great to hear. The issue I think is at scale, though.
Developer salaries are notoriously low in Europe and I’m not even camparing crazy SV or NYC salaries. I worked with devs in Europe working on the same platform and domain as me for half the salary. I haven’t heard of many low 6 figure developer jobs in and around the EU.
But how will you measure those variables independently of grit?
