> that to bulk "people without permanent housing" all under the umbrella of "homeless crisis" is not going to get us anywhere

It's interesting that you raise that point. I was technically "homeless" for about a year once, as I wasn't living in permanent accomodation, but rather in a backpackers hostel in my home country.

I was actually pretty happy with my living situation, and had no desire to move into permanent accomodation. It was also a massive advantage when I decided to quit my job and move countries, I didn't have any contracts to cancel or work my way out of. I simply handed in my notice, booked a flight, and 3 weeks later I was in a new country.

These days I'd be much more hard pressed to do that. I'm on a 1 year lease, I have a 2 year contract with my ISP, I have has gas bills, water bills, and power bills in my name, I own an entire house worth of furniture. It actually makes me a bit sad that I'm immobile, I enjoyed the freedom of the concept that I could pack up and leave at a moments notice (which I eventually did).
Is it possible though, that Copenhagen is wrong in a similar manner to epicycles that give the correct numerical answer?

That's the impression I get as a non-physicist, that yes it's kind of an aesthetic preference, but on the other hand aesthetics are important and sometimes are pivotal in finding new insights.

Ugly may not be completely objective, but it isn't completely arbitrary either.

Science has been applied to it many times. It "works" insomuch as people feel better after they're told that they're getting treatment. It has never shown to be more effective than a sugar pill. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

The most favorable paper to neurolinguistic programming in the entire literature amounts to "some people say it makes them feel better, therefore evidence doesn't matter"[9]

So yeah, sure, it "works" in exactly the same way as kisses from mom on your boo-boos "works". It might make you stop crying for a while, but that is not how a rational person measures effective treatment.

I would say that it's still not a fully mature technology. As gaps become known new things emerge to plug those gaps. Istio springs to mind here in terms of making the networking and monitoring side of things easier.

The trend I see is that smaller and smaller teams are becoming capable of bigger and bigger things and when it comes to smaller apps that don't need it we're trading some complexity familiar to a large group of people (Kubernetes) for complexity known to only a handful or single individual (Bob's idempotent script for distro $X that only he knows the intricacies of).

I consider it fairly remarkable that a single developer today could accomplish, in terms of building and operating a system, what it would have taken a large team of specialists to do even 5 ~ 6 years ago let alone 10 years ago.

Now the OPs point is "you don't probably need it" and sure. Maybe you don't. But I would say watch how it shifts the economics of software development in the broader sense and especially over the next few years as the technologies mature.
So you eat them not raw.

There is no dependency graph between the jobs, i think this would be the case for a specialized tool. Cronrunner is very simple when it comes to job definition.

As for cron jobs, there's a bit of validation involved. The jobs are not executed with the old cron daemon, im using cron-like implementation in my stack. The logs are produces by Heroku platform so im just saving those, no magic at all.
> Capital needs consumers to make a profit.

Fundamentally, demand is survival instinct, which develops under Darwinian pressure. B2B is already growing faster than B2C. Wages are globally stagnating while capital keeps on growing. The industry as a self-maximizer can be its own consumer.

> Governments will be able to subsidise it. [...] Otherwise there will be a revolution.

This assumes that humans will still have some kind of power. Being somewhat competitive in the job market is the only power most people have today.

London is priced as it is because from this year or next, I forget which, it has no government money. All running costs must come from fares and advertising. Prices have changed accordingly.

Unlike roads which are entirely funded by government. So a comparison is always going to make "public transport" (ironic considering it's the transport not receiving public funds) look more expensive.

The purpose of this threads, and threads like it, is they turn into a "nobody needs kubernetes" when xyz exists, and they completely ignore the fact that kubernetes is not meant for small shops.

I didn't see yours was in the context of a small cluster, since I was reading the whole thread, so I apologize. It seems that every single comment is roughly the same as yours, though, and they act as if anyone who chose kubernetes/openshift is clearly an idiot. There's a reason big clusters use it, but the people running the large clusters don't come on HN to comment. Look at the openai blog, for example.

There's a reason the community is so large.
There's a reason people are developing tons of tools around it.

It's not because they're stupid.
I vaguely recall an article describing reasons why really exotic (e.g. galaxy scale) life doesn't make a whole lot of sense. One problem is that no matter how it is organized or what it is made of, light speed prevents it from communicating rapidly. If it doesn't communicate rapidly within itself, it can't develop or evolve much in the lifespan of the universe, at least so far. You can deduce various constraints on "intelligent life" without making simplistic assumptions a priori that humans are normal, but rather starting with what we know about physics.
Spoilers: Its not making things worse. It just provides an avenue for cross contamination, which you should be accounting for when preparing meat anyways.
There is an argument that portions of the middle ages had exactly this problem, as the monarchies soaked up all of the wealth and the peasantry was unable make much headway economically.

I did a programming project for a job interview recently at a company called Willowtree that makes iOS and Android apps for other companies.

It was a pretty simple project, basically wrap a rest API around some JSON data provided to you.

I ended up deploying mine to Google Cloud Platform onto a VM running Ubuntu and Apache, and they seemed rather concerned that I took that approach instead of leveraging some kind of containerization or PaaS approach.

My API definitely had problems, as I don’t have much back end experience, but I found it strange that they would look down upon deploying to a cloud VM. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that a VM hosted on AWS or Digital Ocean was the latest and greatest and it seemed like a logical choice for something that would only ever be used by about five people.
I don't actually know The Answer to your question. But:

The United States saw a decrease in single room occupancy housing during the period of 1960s and 1970s urban decay. For example, in Chicago 81% of the SRO housing stock disappeared between 1960 and 1980.[1]

My general belief is that we probably tore down SROs (and generally got rid of other low cost housing, such as boarding houses) because when the Baby Boomers came of age, they were unusually well off and didn't need dirt cheap housing of that sort. They moved from their parent's home to something relatively middle class.

Then the generations after them weren't so well off, the cheap housing we had torn down did not get replaced as need for it ramped up and this left poor people few to no viable housing options.

New housing tends to be built for wealthier people and it trickles down to the poor as it ages. I am not aware of a good means to suddenly supply large quantities of inexpensive housing once it has been destroyed. That doesn't seem to be how things get done.

I'm hoping to figure out some solutions. But I don't yet have a clear idea what they might be.

I really enjoy Brain.fm and have the lifetime membership, unfortunately their app on iOS isn't very good at handling intermittent data connection and frequently cuts off. This is not necessarily their fault since I have other music apps that fall flat at the slightest interruption. You'd think playing music uninterrupted would be a solved problem by now!

Single socket Ivy/Sandy Bridge-EN servers exist and only need three DIMM’s for max performance, that’s what I run FreeNAS on (R320 with a E5-2450L, mind you I have six DIMM’s).
It's hard to say if it was worth the price. I purchased a lifetime subscription a while back at a discounted rate. I'm not sure if this a product that I would pay for monthly perpetually though.

Brain.fm does "work" in that it definitely has helped me focus, but I think one could craft a Spotify playlist manually with some effort in order to achieve a similar effect.
At least, they predicted one thing: smartphones
You don't say so explicitly but your argument seems to assume that the "system" is a zero-sum game, which is not true.
I am conscious of the placebo effect, and it having its own value; so even if it's "all in our head" that doesn't negate the actual impact of a thing.

This being said, today I was feeling a need to look up and use, or quickly create some new binaural beats for myself to work listening to, and found this.

So far ( after the first half-hour ) I've experienced a dramatic increase in energy, concentration, higher acuity, and all the traits I came to expect from binaural beats.

Would definitely subscribe after the trial so far.
>The author hopes we are the only intelligent species in the universe because why?

Because if there is other life in the universe, then it's more likely that the Great Filter is ahead of us and that human civilization will end sooner. If we are the only intelligent species, then it's more likely that the Great Filter is behind us and humanity is more likely to spread across planets.
Time lapse photography can make plant behaviour seem intelligent. The way pea plants put out fronds that 'reach out' to attach to nearby structures in order to stabilise the plant as it grows taller.

I think of time lapse photography sequences as how a tree might see the world. The movement of animals too fast for it to react to in a similar, but larger-scale, way that flies are usually too fast and agile for humans to catch or swat.

Just put me to work.

This is the software development technical interview cycle in a nutshell, except replace "Excel" with almost any technology you want. SQL, NoSQL, C, Lisp, whatever.

In most cases, the technical interviewer demands that you paint the Mona Lisa in ten minutes, only to offer a stern frown and furrowed brow when ten minutes gets perhaps a stick figure or a smiley face.

The truth, however, has two competing versions.

From the interviewer's perspective, they've asked for something perfectly reasonable. They've been looking at the same challenge problem for weeks or months, they have the answer, they've watched ten people fail in ten different ways, and the ones that had the answer still couldn't perfectly refine the problem's follow-up questions. Surely Cindarella exists, and we will know it's her, when the glass slipper fits.

From the candidate's perspective, cartwheels and backflips are well understood to be possible for some people to perform, but even being asked to use a hula hoop is slightly degrading. Nevermind that none of us will actually ever perform backflips or hula hoops in production. It's mostly jumping jacks and push ups, so why the all elite high performance tests?

The truth though is that first impressions and introductions are a class of human activity, and as a singleton event in the history of interaction between two parties, they happen once and only once, and unfold according to their own rules. First dates, roommates, a new doctor, buying a puppy. All of these things have a certain pattern of realization, exposition and gut instinct to follow through on.

The ritual is actually an arbitrary dousing rod disconnected from the subliminal conceptual formulation of whether the two parties actually like each other on a superficial level, regardless of talent, skill or capability.

That was obviously tongue in cheek. But if you still don't think there is a very clear and almost assuredly illegal connection between Trump and Russia I struggle to believe you're exposing yourself to a variety of media sources or following the Mueller investigation at all. The mere fact he refused to enact bilateral sanctions was enough cause for serious concern.
Or don't do it. Whatever works for you. I don't know if it would be as appropriate at my current company, but I certainly see it as an option, having experienced the benefits.
Or you read Cryptonomicon.
There's a difference between "bribes" and "bribes".

A bribe is usually understood to be of benefit to the politician personally. This sort of corruption is actually incredibly rare in the US.

What is, unfortunately, very common are payments to their campaigns. These are legal and, since Citizen United, basically unlimited. There are, however, rather strict rules as to how they can be used. And as that Republican idiot from California is currently experiencing, these rules are enforced.

I'm not making apologies for the undeniable harms of the latter practice. But it is different, and marginally less evil . As to the relative evilness: the "traditional" bribe is strictly more useful to a politicians, because they always had the option to convert it to campaign money. That option does not exist in the other direction.

I think it's important to appreciate such nuances. First, because it stops the corroding effect of cynicism on your soul. And, second, if we condemn everything at the same level of maximum evilness, any change that is not instant paradise is indistinguishable to the status quo. Because Paradise no longer exists (or is now a strip club), nothing will ever happen.

Actually I was referring to the homelessness increasing as population increases.

The periods of most rapid population growth in the US were the decade of the 1810s, with a subsequent peak in the 1850s. In the 20th century, the peak decades were the 1900s and 1910s (21% each), then the 1960s (18%). Rates of growth have fallen consistently since the 1960s, with the exception of the decade of 2000 - 2009.

As I've posted elsewhere in this thread, use of the term "homelessness" took off in the 1980s, during a period of modest population growth, by historical standards.

1) Casey's a great storyteller, filmmaker, and success. Just like anyone else who reads a book 4 times. Or practices a programming problem over and over again. I study how he accomplishes things over and over again.

2) As for priorities, I've been a software engineer since 1999 (CTO of two YC companies, W06 and S11). And the biggest thing holding me back? Not enough people using the things I make. You express as much with the XDP article. So I've realized I need to get a lot better at spreading my ideas than just programming them. Build it and they won't come.

3) Somehow I got good watching TV in the background while I program. Got a lot of practice doing things like math homework in front of the TV as a kid. I built Draft (http://draftin.com) the writing software while I watched West Wing in the background for like the 10th time. Some people like going to cafes. Listening to music. I like putting on inspiring/fun TV that I don't have to think a lot about. I can't do this with cerebral shows.

I don't usually reply to comments like these because it came across almost like a personal attack? You'll lose it when I tell you, one of my favorite pastimes is just watching Sesame Street with my kid :) instead of programming.

Who cares what I do with my time? It's my time. I don't play golf. I don't go out. I don't paint. What I do do though in my free time is write, make movies, and look for inspiration everywhere.

But I do hope the above did shed some light on why I think writing the article above was important to me and why it's subject matter I bother with at all beyond just programming.
I have been trying to get into that with not much success. It looks like I end up trying to understand the whole thing at once. I don't know how to look at the source code which solves a specific small problem. Is there proper guide by earlier contributors about how to get used to the source and start breaking/fixing things?
You can try some video game music, esp from strategy games like Age of Empires/total war/endless legend etc, they seemed to me, created in such way as to blend into the background without drawing player attention away from gameplay.
What an incredible and inspiring story... truly the highest highs and the lowest lows.

Some take always that really resonated with me:

- Life is is short and it isn’t. Don’t waste time working on “trivial bullshit.”

- A small “family” can take on a bigger, better funded copycat because the small, nimble team obsesses over the sticks.

- Sometimes you’ve gotta just “man up.” I thought it was interesting Tracy used that language, but you can just tell that she doesn’t have time for the bullshit. Be the honey badger.

- If you don’t find joy in what you do say to day, you’re doing the wrong thing.
