There's also different kinds of boring/tedious though. I'd argue it's much easier to learn to enjoy washing your dishes at home than it is to enjoy slogging through trying to grok horrible legacy code. Maybe that's just me though.
I'm sure some of the difference (25M vs. 1.3M) can be attributed to code for Oracle features missing in PostgreSQL. But a significant part of it is due to careful development process mercilessly eliminating duplicate and unnecessary code as part of the regular PostgreSQL development cycle.

It's a bit heartbreaking at first (you spend hours/days/weeks working on something, and then a fellow hacker comes and cuts of the unnecessary pieces), but in the long run I'm grateful we do that.
Thank you. I'm totally agree on what you said. It would be easier to navigate the different repos without zooming-out and zooming-in every time you want to see next repo.

One tip: look at your mail server logs for the top 100 bad addresses. For me they were a combination of incorrect first names (doug@, joe@) and incorrect roles (sales@, support@). Deliver all of that mail directly to a spam trainer. That gives me good odds the Bayesian filter will have repeatedly seen novel spam before they try my account.

I also subaddress [1] any address I give to a vendor. So when those leak to spammers, I route those to sa-learn as well. It's a real pleasure to use the key spammer advantage -- indiscriminate volume -- against them.

this is exactly the same with all other devices. just because you chose to use a leaked version of odin to root your samsung, with a leaked version of the firmware, built with a leaked version of the kernel and a leaked version of the binary drivers' firmware blobs... doesn't make either case better.

one you don't have root, but already gives you the hability to filter each app permission (which was the only thing I did with root) via a system app they provide, the other you are pretty much doing the same as running a pirated version of windows.

not defending either btw. android sucks in this regard. my point before was mostly to highlight how google and others now have the same invisible hand that Microsoft had before.
A 25 year old Silicon Valley CEO, by definition, is weird, so whether or not they have staff is irrelevant.
What you describe is exactly what PG&E is today. Those strict liability rules did not prevent them from cutting corners. They estimate damages at 15B and their insurance and assets are worth $5B. So do the math.... taxpayers will have to pay for rebuilding and if PG&E survives will they pass costs on to rate payers (aka the same people whose houses burnt down) or will they tax PG&E more or ?. Maybe PG&E will become insurance company owned since they will owe the insurers tons of money since they can't pay out for liability.

The problem is that there is no reliable metric with which to measure talent. There is no interview process at the moment that currently does this accurately.
i think such a thing would simply be impractical from a line of business perspective: if I'm going to spend the time/money developing a great soc I'm not going to give it away at cost (which would lead to never recovering dev costs)
That's fair. When I say appreciate, I mean the results of the grind. Washing Dishes or any type of cleaning isn't fun, but finding coping mechanisms (zoning out, music, etc...) you can enjoy the results.

It seems unlikely that EVERYONE hated the schedule changes, given that the changes were designed to benefit the majority of them.

We can speculate all day about how people may have felt, but we just don't know. The district should have done polling to see what the overall reaction was before they pulled the plug. And if the counter-arguments amount to "I don't like change" then I think the district has a prerogative to optimize for health, safety, and costs.

I keep trying to get my semi-retired parents to change their lifestyle, but unfortunately they keep getting blood tests which say their cholesterol and blood pressure and such are perfect. It is all the more frustrating because my dad smoked for about thirty-five years, and according to his veins it's as though he never smoked at all. I am thinking of asking the doctor if he can fudge the results.

In all seriousness, it's probably genes, but I've also started to suspect it's due to coffee. They each drink about twelve cups of coffee per day. In the past few years, there have been more and more studies suggesting coffee is surprisingly good for you.

Another advantage is that they both worked for themselves; they never had bosses making them do excruciatingly stupid things for years on end.

People generally are far behind on what's public knowledge about the Russian internet propaganda efforts. Yes, that's exactly what they've been known to be doing, including interviews with former participants.

> The agency has employed fake accountsregistered on major social networks,[2]discussion boards, online newspaper sites, and video hosting services to promote the Kremlin's interests in domestic and foreign policy including Ukraine and the Middle Eastas well as attempting to influence the 2016 United States presidential election.

As of last known count, they had a $15million/year budget. But they've been reported to have grown significantly since the success of the US election.

The domain is mutual fund accounting. The system in question had grown organically over decades to encompass everything related to mutual funds; account record keeping, shareholder statements, broker dealer recording keeping, commission payments, cost accounting, you name it, they do it.

Why is it that all big players use Electron platform for their desktop apps. Slack has it, you've built it on Electron as well. I just find them so slow and huge

memorizing Leetcode solutions

Are the hard Leetcode questions rote memorable?

I have my doubts. Indeed from my own experience with Leetcode is I can only do well on the questions that I think quite hard about. Recently I tried to do a Leetcode question marked Medium, but my 3 line solution (while correct, and working on my own test cases) always resulted in "Time Limit Exceeded". I studied their test cases, and realised that my brute-force solution was of exponential time complexity. I then read of the discussion of the problem, was so delighted with, and surprised by one of the proposed solutions (linear time) that I felt compelled to write down the loop invariant in Hoare logic! Fun evening, and I'll never forget this neat algorithmic trick.
I think that practising enough Leetcode so as to do well on the Medium/Hard questions requires developing an understanding of algorithms which is highly useful in practise, in particular, if you work with large data sets, clever algorithms are unavoidable for getting anything done. Have a look at the list of past ACM coding contest winners, e.g. the 1993 winners [1] include Craig Silverstein (first hire at Google) and Tony Hsieh (Zappos, LinkEchange).

Summary: I don't believe that doing 3 months coding challenges is meaningfully described as memorisation.

On top of that, doing coding challenges is perfectly compatible with asking other questions.

Had an opportunity to labour for 1 year for a "start up" ran by a 40 years old guy with rich papa when I was back in Canada. The dude opened the company with 7 mln cash out of his pocket, hired lots of big name consultants as directors, and never been seen since, until the company flopped.

The man was said to employ a personal typist.

Since then, saw the very same thing everywhere you can expect it; rich and powerful men I knew personally rarely even had a cellphone, and they didn't read news.

With regard of that, I think stories of officials from 3rd world countries claiming to be learning more about their own countries from words of foreign diplomats, or when they flee to the West themselves, don't sound so unbelievable anymore.

The functions can also be different if different compilation units were compiled using different compiler settings (or event different compilers).

In Titus Winters' recent Pacific++ talk[1], he pointed out that even something as simple as including an 'assert' statement will violate the ODR if some compilation units are compiled with 'debug' settings and some aren't. This can easily happen with build systems that cache compiled object files if changes in compilations flags don't automatically invalidate the cache.

> You are right that NY will get more money now that if Amazon had not come, but that's also true that my life would be better getting $1/hr than $0/hr.

That's a pretty bad comparison. Why would I take the $1 job? I got way more currently. The only reason I would do it is because I'm trapped and I NEED this $1 to live.

Does NYC is trapped right now? Does they NEED that $1 to live? Not at all, they are perfectly fine, they are the definition of not needing that $1.

So it's more like, you are making 75$/h, Amazon is looking for some part time employee and you do happen to have a few hours left in your week that can fit that. They want to know what you can do for them for theses few hours and you accept after a few rounds of negotiation. It's a 2 ways street, Amazon give to the city and the city give to Amazon. What Amazon offer has a value to the city but what the city offer to Amazon has a value too.

There's no regulation for wage increase, is it? There's only a minimum, because it's when you are at the bottom that it can be abused. Once you are not at the bottom, you can negotiate as much as you want. It's the same here.

The big question is how can we make sure we don't abuse that minimum, but that's a whole other issue.

Interesting to hear!

I just bought my 10-year-old a Zero W, though she doesn't know it yet. I'm not expecting her to use it as a primary PC or anything, but I'm curious to see if she takes to using it on the TV in the living room. She likes building small electronics kits, so I got her a case, heatsink, a GPIO header, and a couple of shields to see if I can't get her interested in learning more by letting her put it together and play with it. If not, I'm out like a total of $40.

Good to know that if she does like it, I can buy her one of the more full-featured ones and she can use it more productively.
I made my first 100$ with a Feedback platform (in the first 3 weeks)
Hi all!

I'm glad (and surprised) to see that 3 weeks after official launch of https://roastme.xyz I reached 100$ on revenue with direct sales.

I know that this is not MRR but the metrics are quite good for the moment: new visitors coming to site, a 4% of converting rate (users vs paying users), and new experts submissions (almost 20, 1 per day).

I'm working hard to keep improving the site and maintain this revenue over the next months, but I have to struggle with low traffic and increase participation inside my platform. Any advice?

Hope you like it!

One thing I really liked about SpamAssassin and how prevalent it was was that I could set hashcash on my outbound e-mails and basically eliminate the chances of my e-mail being caught as spam. This was probably a decade ago (I've since moved to gmail), but it would take 10-60 seconds per recipient to generate the hashcash, and SpamAssassin would give those messages a large positive weight.

I'm kind of surprised that it never caught on.

I agree. Especially if there are other teammates who defend the bad codebase because of their association to it.

Nobody should claim washing dishes is inherently wasteful or pointless. Legacy code on the other hand, comes with a lot of social pressure to just layer on more debt.

You're forgetting the actual cost of the car itself, plus maintenance. The average monthly auto payment in the US is sitting aroudn $500. If you buy the car up front with cash, then you need to count the opportunity cost of that money over time, and depreciation.

And then there's also registration, emissions testing, annual inspection, and other miscellaneous fees that vary by jurisdiction, but that can easily cost hundreds per year in total.
We do "kind of that": Our source is split across various cpp files to keep it well organized. Our build scripts then generates a single cpp file with ~30 #includes.

Compilation of the 11Mb object file takes about 30s and requires at most 1GB memory (the lib is not that huge, 20kloc), but I think when we started on it, the build took a few minutes for the lib alone. So we save some dev time, but building all unit test executables still takes an additional 1m30s. So that's only a minor improvement. But I think the real gain is a much better optimization (the architecture of the lib is great to maintain and bugs are at least critical or might even have a lethal impact; there is a lot of potential for inlining/LTO).

Sure, but smart kings who aren't soldiers delegate to experienced generals. In America, an elected president may not be an expert, but the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff sure will be.

Last time I checked, Facebook filters your content by default to optimize their ad business. They don't show things chronologically, which would make your argument pertinent.

They already filter what you see and they prefer to choose that because it serves their interests, not yours.

If they wanted to serve the user's interest, that comment would most likely be filtered out.

Sounds very unlikely, and there really haven't been "more and more studies suggesting coffee is surprisingly good for you". At best a few ho-hum studies recycled by countless news outlets and websites. Coffee is not so miracle food (actually there are no such "superfoods"), and tons of people have smoked AND drank lots of coffee and still had bad health.

That said, some of the longer living populations in the Blue Zones smoke just fine and had for all their lives -- stress free, better foods, and regular walking is more important.

I like the idea of beaker but I want to store user data at a non-local user-specified endpoint. A gallery app is a perfect example. You want access to lots of data but you can't store it all locally in all locations that you want access to. Ideally the user would be able to specify their datastore rather than the app supporting specific ones. Blockstack does this but their solution is DOA for decentralization.
my implication is that these agents do the latter rather than the former. I'm suggesting that you can divide the "twitter trolls" set into two - 4chan users who post inflammatory content, and Russian agents who aim to help bring politics that are of interest to the Russian government into the mainstream.

This is a great example of someone who wants to pretend that the market doesn’t exist, like the previous poster said. You can draw this argument to its logical conclusion and argue that any good that somebody needs is “not a free market”.

The food market is obviously not free because you need to eat. The car market is not free because a lot of people need to drive to work. The plumbing market is not free because sanitation is essential.

I won’t comment on the relative effectiveness of free vs centrally planned economies, just pointing out the logical fallacy above.
