Self-care resources for developers
vim zealot who's been using emacs lately:

pros:
- magit. unbelievable.
- org mode. vimwiki pales in comparison
- best vim emulation I've used
- impressive operating system :)
- configuration is awesome. doing literate org mode configuration with org babel.
- lisp is cool.

cons:
- haven't gotten comfortable dealing with "projects" yet, navigating files feels awkward.
- doesn't feel quite as good as an editor as vim, but better than anything else out there.
- no flutter mode
- elm integration not quite as nice as I'd like

it feels like I'll get over the cons.
Have you tried playing Warhammer? Eat up that 8 mil real fast ;)

In seriousness though, I think changing that "no real hobbies" statement is the way to go. Find something not work you enjoy doing, or if it turns out work is really what you enjoy, keep working! Don't let the money burn a hole in your pocket - you don't need to change anything at all.

Another option is do work you think matters or would be fun if you never had to think "but I couldn't support my family doing that.." Working at a bike shop is that for me. Charity work, maybe getting involved with your kid's education boards, etc., something out there must make you tick that you couldn't afford to do before.
Aren’t journalists paid to pay attention? I’ve never seen much “far right” in crypto land (fascism we’re talking about right?), as much as I’ve seen libertarianism or crypto-anarchy... this kind of naive “let's get rid of governments and everyone will be happy and cooperate peacefully” that Roger Ver espouses really well.

>ITA for Common Lisp.

>A pattern I seem to observe is that if the program/framework/platform grows large and successful enough, the company gets acquired for its tech and everything gets rewritten in some more 'industry standard' language.

I wonder if that happened for ITA's software after ITA was acquired by Google (for some hundreds of millions, IIRC).

I read somewhere that Paul Graham's ViaWeb, which was written in mainly Lisp (or at least some key parts were), was later rewritten in some other language, maybe C++, like the pattern you observe.
I don't think this professor is exceptional, but rather the norm. As a PhD student in computer science I regularly observed people publishing papers overlapped to 80% with their previous paper. The difference being that paper 1 was titled "Solving problem X using Y" whereas the next one would be "A Y' approach to solving the X problem"
Conversely, "Keeping you in the black" is an inverse sentiment for the use of the word.

> The null hypothesis is 100% relevant to this sort of question.

Take a look at the actual definition of null hypothesis and tell me how it's relevant:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis

You're suggesting there's no relationship between what two phenomena when it comes to free will?

> The scientific null assumption is that something doesn't exist.

No it's not. Science is agnostic on such questions until there's evidence, and that's the proper answer. Making a definitive claim of existence or non-existence both require proof.

> It being at all meaningful for me to do that relies Compatibilism having been proven to be correct.

Lay out what constitutes proof of such a question, because I frankly think you're very confused either about what Compatibilism actually says, or what the whole free will debate is actually about.

> Philosophers do not have profound domain knowledge in determining how the universe actually works.

Fortunately, the philosophical question of free will is not about how the universe works.
By this logic I should get free hotel rooms when I visit places.

Does Tesla do intersections yet?
Totally agree with this. Though I often want something similar but not necessarily “creative”. I’d like to be able to ask “show me blogs or discussions that are substantial about x”. x could be a scientific paper or something.

It is a question of search / discovery mechanisms. Mostly this kind of query is “satisfied” by things like Twitter. But I wish there were a good blog / discussion search engine. Those died a long time ago. As you say the results I am looking for only show up on lower pages in Google. Maybe there is a better search engine for that I don’t know about.
And the great thing about this system is that it does not inform you beforehand. You cannot check whether your paper will pass, you submit, and then when v1 appears online, it is marked as "having substantial text overlap with works by other authors" etc, with links. You cannot remove this version.

It will also flag overlap with your own works, but obviously it's not exactly a huge stain on your reputation if your thesis seems to borrow some paragraphs from your own papers.
If I was in your situation I would take a break from work and enroll into a collage and try to get another degree.
Has anyone found a clean way to remove polkit once installed without breaking systemd? On Redhat at least, you have to kickstart the machine without anything that pulls it in. It can't be "disabled" without breaking things and udev will trigger it regardless of the unit file state.

You are conflating two separate issues. Sleep deprivation in doctors is an entirely different question to that of patients sleeping while admitted into hospital.

>what is the response from the medical community on sleep?

I can't answer such a general question.

>Why is this ok is medicine and not any other type of human endeavor?

It would be impossible to cover this without hitting a significant word count. It's also depends on the country. In the UK at least it's certainly a political hot potato.
This has been proposed in the past yet I haven't seen any implementation of it - perhaps because of increased power consumption of accurate timing components needed? Any EEs able to comment on this?
Training to pre-select criteria before viewing candidates is well supported as a mitigation by literature such as:

I'm sure there are many sitautions where training is less effective, but the hiring example is well supported.
Everyone in Vilnius, Lithuania knows, that both, NordVPN and ProtonVPN, are being developed here by the people related to Tesonet, which has been recently sued in Texas Eastern District Court for the patent infringement in "Large-scale web data extraction products and services with residential proxy network ( https://oxylabs.io/ )"[1] by Luminati Networks, an Israeli data mining company behind HolaVPN[2].

The section from the "About" page of Tesonet (26 Apr 2018)[3], which was suddenly removed in June 2018 after the connection between ProtonVPN and Tesonet was made public by the co-founder of PIA[4]:

"For the latest project, Tesonet is working together with an international brand from Switzerland to create a security product that helps users protect their network traffic. As part of this technical partnership, we are collaborating on datacenter and network infrastructure that can easily supply 10 Gbps worth of bandwidth to users around the world. The product is developed using the latest authentication encryption methods and the best practices in the security world."

As late as September 2018, NordVPN and ProtonVPN still become affected by the same extremely rare Windows security bugs at the same time[5], even though the CTO of ProtonMail claimed here on Hacker News, that they used Tesonet, a data mining company, for developing ProtonVPN, a free VPN service, only as "an office space provider"[6].

Male surrogates, nice!
Parking facilities are like hash tables. They get less efficient (time) as they get more full. But they are also less efficient (space) when nearly empty.

Unfortunately for city planners, doubling the size of a lot when it becomes 80% full is not a cheap operation.
Indeed, I have an old 64GB 830 that is still working as if it's brand new.

So far I've had good experience with Crucial MX series, PNY CS11xx series of drives (YMMV widely depending on series, etc) and Sandisk, all have lasted through quite some use, but honestly I still prefer Samsung or Intel. I've been using the Crucial drive for long enough now that I'd probably make them a top choice too. Samsung, Intel, Crucial would be my top 3.

I've been running a Western Digital nvme for a couple of weeks now and it's great- but that says nothing about longevity. The speed of nvme is incredible though, so I really hope this drive lasts.

Many Common Lisp implementations also lack TCO.

That said, I do agree that you probably shouldn't go crazy with FP in Python. At its core, it's a procedural language. It has some useful things from OO and FP, but you'll be more comfortable if you keep procedural techniques in the top tray of your toolbox.

Which isn't all that bad a thing. IMO, well-done modern procedural programming looks a lot like functional programming with more loops and less recursion.
"making homeowners arrange their parking on private property"

So just stop giving them the public street for free! Nobody's saying you shouldn't be able to buy half an acre of land and park all your cars on it if that's what you want to do.

What's disturbing to many here is making us buy parking we don't need so that _you_ can continue to get parking welfare for free from the state (aka taxpayers).
Your metaphor is good, but misses the part where this art museum has either bought or forced downsizing/closure on all other competitive museums. That forces artists to choose this museum or one that it owns if they want any recognition/income from the work they do (this museum certainly isn't paying them for the work).
That's not what a monopoly is.
The vulnerability is pretty much inherent to the idea. No amount of encryption can protect you from a relay attack. The only foolproof mitigation is to enforce a short round trip time to ensure the fob is actually close to the car, but with the short distances involved that means the fob has to generate and transmit a response within a few nanoseconds.
Great, thanks. My Lisp skills are very rusty but I think I'll give this a shot.
Really not sure why this was downvoted. It seems like a reasonable sentiment.
Ah, that would make more sense. So not generated mutable files aren't necessarily static assets? The wording is a bit confusing, because when one reads "Static assets are the files [...] that are generated from a build of a web application codebase" they rightfully assume "the files that are generated" means "all generated files".

That is how many Americans view it. They do not see that freedom to drive everywhere and park for free is at odds with other freedoms, such as the freedom of not needing to spend a large amount of money on a car and fuel.
> Let's remember this is not Facebook's data, this is their users' data.

No, it's not - short of a change in law it is Facebook's data. Facebook collected, maintained , and analyzed the data. It's their data, the fact that their users allowed Facebook to collect it does not change that fact.

GDPR allows users to view the data Facebook collected about them. If users want manually request their data from Facebook and provide it to competing apps they can. But this is the user's prerogative, not Facebook's.

You effectively do, in that we pay for lots of private spaces for the general public to use. This is the same logic that makes Public Libraries free to all, even if you aren't a resident of that city or state. Public Restrooms, too, and so on.

If your argument is that we should have stronger public housing, to mimic public parking and/or for consistency sake -- I agree 100%.

> Thank you for making my point. Why would you ever hear about it?

Seems like the one that does not want to listen is you.

The take home task is only communicated during the preliminary interview with the recruiter (i.e, it is not something that is required to start the application process) and we do get feedback from candidates that have withdrawn their application. And while we had cases of people that withdrawn for various reasons (company size/culture, process adopted, being too "startupy" for a German company, or even simply getting a better offer somewhere else) the take-home task is yet to be mentioned as an issue.

In the end, your reasons for being against take-home tasks are not really against the idea of take-home tasks, just some of the implementations you've been through. Your "point" does not stand.
Ask HN: Docker Swarm Considered Harmful?
I know that Kubernetes won the container orchestration war, for various reasons.

We decided to try out Docker Swarm for a service at work because:
A) We had swarm-enabled servers available
B) Docker EE with Kubernetes hasn't been rolled out yet
C) We don't get to use a cloud provider to roll our own K8S cluster

While it was my understanding that Kubernetes was preferred, I really didn't see using Swarm as that big of a risk.

We aren't doing anything too crazy really.
Spin up a stack with 1 redis container and maybe 2 or 3 stateless api containers.

But we have a lot of different environments and different containers for different offices. So we have a lot of stacks. Also, we're using Traefik to provide routing to the stacks, so they share a network.

I have to say, after using Swarm, it's been a nightmare. Granted our production swarm hums along fine, so that's good. But it's the lower environments that are giving us grief.

We have CI, DEV, QA and UAT all on the same swarm.

We have Jenkins jobs that poll our git repo and stand up CI stacks to run integration tests.

Things get really out of whack. When we stand up a stack we use "docker stack deploy" that mostly seems fine. But then something happens (root cause yet to be identified) and things go haywire.

We start seeing API services with container states of 1/3 or 1/2 or 0/1 etc
And they never seem to come back up.

Sometimes we see nodes leave the swarm and come back. Sometimes we see nodes leave, become a leader in their own swarm and never come back.

We have identified "docker stack rm" as a big problem. If you start running this command, in our experience, be prepared to bring everything down because it is going to mess up networks, services, etc.

Do others have a similar experience with Docker Swarm? Or is this possibly just something dumb that we are doing, which is totally possible!
All of that's bullshit when you realize WHATWG and W3C are controlled by browser marketshare majorities.

Create a browser that people want that sheds 99% of the bullshit APIs and now you have momentum. It doesn't matter whether or not your browser supports WebGPU or WASM when no one cares to use it because they enjoy a browser with built-in ad blocking or resource limits that prevent idiot developers from offload 10s of megabytes onto them.

Protect users and make them your number one priority and everything else is bullshit.

> Someone kidnapped my wife so I stole a car is not a valid legal defense

That's not the scenario I posed, although perhaps the presentation wasn't clear. So to be perfectly clear so there are no misunderstandings, the thief was told to steal your car or his wife would be executed.

Clearly he's morally culpable for stealing the car in one scenario and not in the other. This distinction can be clearly made using free will. You claim you don't need free will to make this distinction, so I'd like to hear how you do so.
You don't have to establish a monopoly though - your simple presence in the market (relatively low cost since it's not like drivers are loyal to a particular brand) will give you a cut of the profits that would otherwise go to Uber - why forfeit an entire market when you can participate at low cost?
So they were basically the spamware apps like flashlight and other 'performance enhancers'? That makes this kind of worse, especially if they continued it after acquisition.

Should be ready for beta release very shortly. Focus is on improving communications between small businesses and their customers. I thought about building out a standalone web app, but Google Sheets was easy enough for a MVP. Spreadsheets are generally well known and familiar enough for small business owners/operators to use so it could always live as a sheet.

There are a few competitors right now, but they lack a certain feature that I think is important.
