they do enforce it. it's more a matter of their scanner detecting that two accounts belong to the same person. my account was locked until i removed the duplicate accounts i had. fortunately my extra accounts were no longer needed anyways, so i had no problem with that and got reinstated quickly.

i also had a lengthy constructive exchange with the person handling the case about the downside of this policy and why one might legitimately want multiple github accounts.

the response i got suggested that if someone could bring a legitimate case why they needed multiple unpaid accounts, then they would be willing to make an exception. which means, at least they are willing to listen to reason.

personally, i think that if you use github for work, then it's a fair argument to say that that should be a paid account.
I've often felt that a 5 day work week is about availability, not raw productivity. I could easily compress all of my weeks work into 30 hours or less, but that's not what my managers and clients value. What they value is the fact that I'm making progress on my tasks, and that my reachability is not preventing anyone else (people above me or below me) from making progress on their tasks
Someone already mentioned it, but the timeline feature is great. I can see where I was, what time, how long it took, etc. It also tells me the last time I went somewhere.

Which laptops have AMD chips? I've looked casually, but only seen Nvidia.
I’ve been using a new system for the past few weeks, so I don’t know how well it will stick:

I carry a small spiral-bound memo book with me all the time for short-term notes. In the case of random thoughts, it’s generally just a title.

Every morning, I move everything from the memo book into other systems and tear out the used pages. For ideas, this means putting the title at the top of a blank sheet of paper and free writing until I either run out of things to say or reach the bottom of the page.

About once a week, I file all the new notes in a binder sorted by title and put an index card for each one in a Leitner box for reviewing in the future.

When working through reviews, if I find a note interesting it gets promoted all the way to the front section of the box, and otherwise it gets pushed back one, so that its review cycle gets longer. I also use the review as an opportunity to ensure the note is recorded properly in a topical index.
I got some good advice about a decade ago, which I've used for guidance and, on reflection, has served me well. You're not well-positioned to understand the core nature of problems, and which are most important, from the outside. Until you have this clarity, do what you can to become part of the core community driving the thinking in your field of choice. There's a strong case for the social importance of many problems in energy and AI, and likely enough there are problems that would interest you in healthcare. So my answer is to not worry so much about which field you dive into, and focus more on trying to get to the center.

As someone who has been orbiting two poles of education and CS for my whole career, I'd also suggest reflecting on why energy and AI are currently more attractive to you than healthcare. There doesn't have to be a reason, but sometimes I feel like the attraction of pure science fields is that they don't involve the messy human issues that come with social science, like identity and culture, power and your own positionality.

Saying the ACA reduced the rate of growth in healthcare spending is arguable. The last time I looked at this there was indeed a reduction in the rate of growth by my understanding is that it predated the ACA by several years.

The most interesting thing I've seen about health care inflation is what it looks like in the U.S.A. vs. the other developed countries. The answer is not that different. There was a huge increase in the 80's but after that the growth rate of the U.S. is somewhere in the middle.

I agree. If you emphasize too much, it feels like you're trying too hard to convince me, kind of like news headlines IN ALL CAPS.
The JavaScript Fatigue argument is not good. There's simply no data that backs it and nobody is forced to use new libraries only because they use JavaScript.

I've seen third party dependencies churn on Elixir as well (packages that are no longer maintained or alternatives that are better) - I think it's an inherent problem with using dependencies and has nothing to do with the programming language in which those dependencies are written.

My recommendation is that you don't read Hackernoon. This seems like a very ineffective way to level up your developer skills.

Edit: I agree that Elixir is very nice and would pick it over JavaScript for backend heavy applications without thinking. I just don't think this argument makes any sense in that context.
If I get a marked as spam notification, I'll strip anything after the '+' (and really any special characters that distract from the raw email address) to make sure I never send an email to the address again.
If the erratically emphasized text bothers anyone else, you can get rid of it by running the following JS in console:

document.querySelectorAll('em').forEach(el => el.replaceWith(new Text(el.innerText)))
No, they are just called Pentiums and Celerons now.

Why Value Investors Are Different (1999) [pdf]
I always keep a stack of index cards with me, bound with a large clip. Every idea gets a blank card, and I don’t feel bad ripping them up. I store them in a box I made, and they’re easy to flip through and sort.

I also have a nice notebook with dotted grid paper that I use when I’m feeling more precise with my thoughts and want to capture them more permanently, or just more elegantly.

Other than that I’ll use TextEdit or Notes.app on the iPhone, but often will transcribe that stuff to a card so I have everything together. Some stuff I’ll leave digital if I know I’ll need to keyword search for it later. But, generally, physical cards are pretty easy for remembering where things are.
And for Android users, CamScanner is a great scanning app. It turns quick cellphone photos into great, clean, auto-cropped scans that it can then bundle into PDF batches (great for grouping receipts by month, for example). The free version does watermark these files (small text on the bottom right of each page), but it's a great app otherwise. I've even used it to scan family photos from distant relatives while traveling and it's worked great (no watermarks on photos, just on the PDFs it renders as far as I can tell).
Compression routines regularly track then remove whitespace. Given the commonplace occurrence of both compression serverside and decompression clientside on the web, this improvement could be notable in every day computing.

It's not so much the users they care about but the fact they have to deal with all the support requests, plus the complaining on social media that Firefox is dumb and bad. At some point it's net-negative for the project. So sometimes they open functionality to extensions instead of having it easily available to users, like the option to disable JavaScript on pages.

It is a little surprising to see a handful of recommendation for OneNote. I have never used OneNote before, but will definitely give it a try.

I think one's idea tracking system should cover two parts: fast and slow. The slow part is as you mentioned we should periodically review ideas. For this part, I am almost 100% happy with Github issues/wiki/projects.

For the fast part, like you, I used notebook, IM, Google Keep and a bash script at the same time (whichever that is most handy). I am 90% happy with the process. Given the high frequency of the day I am spending tracking ideas (~10 times per day), I am willing to spend some time to fine tune the practice until I am 99% happy.

The idea I have in mind is to write a IM-like note taking app for iPhone and Mac, which stores plain-text and image in iCloud drive. The app should utilize platform features such as Siri, 3D touch, Mac status bar to enable fastest idea capturing.

This sounds boring to me, but I believe if it is done right, it could be my most efficient zero-effort idea tracking solution on the go. (And review ideas using the plain-text db in iCloud)
Much as the gap between Windows and MacOS has narrrowed in recent years, for a user there just isn’t a meaningful difference between Apple and more commoditized competitors to justify a massive price point. I pay it because a few hundred dollars every 3 years is less pain than spending a few days migrating my life off the Apple ecosystem (like Photos and Music) but at some price differential it becomes compelling. Apple has failed to extend the ecosystem. The Watch is a very limited use product. There hasn’t been a must have software or service introduced in how many years?

Let's add some real numbers to this discussion.

"White children whose parents are in the top fifth of the income distribution have a 41.1 percent chance of staying there as adults... But for black children, it’s only 18 percent.

Among children who grew up in the bottom fifth of the distribution, 10.6 percent of whites make it into the top fifth ... and a tiny 2.5 percent of black children"

Ie, your odds of being in the upper middle class if you grew up:

White and rich: 40%

Black and rich: 20%

White and poor: 10%

Black and poor: 2.5%

Clearly parental income plays a big role, but so does race. We can crunch numbers all day and argue over who has it worse. But it seems far more productive to just acknowledge that they are both pretty bad, and to focus on fixing both problems.
Bounce Back: How to Build Killer Self Confidence
Dear Anon192, I noticed several wordings and sentences in your post that make it seem like you're identifying yourself too much with your company:

> very promising startup [...]
> [...] that will hurt our chances of raising more funding

This is a big red flag for me (been there done that), and I want to recommend you spend some time reflecting on why you have become so "attached" to your startup. Are you deriving your sense of achievement, happiness and self-worth due to the work you're currently doing?

If you are, you need to quickly snap out of it because this is not good for you. Your worth as a human being is not tied to the code quantity, quality, and test coverage. Sure it feels great to be useful and achieve something technical, but it is not good to depend on this for your feelings and self-worth because such "coupling" to the job can come back and bite you big time.

Let me explain. When your self feeds on the "achievement buzz" you experience from getting good things done on the job ("Yey I'm a great person because I achieved A, B, C today and they are perform really well"). This sounds like a good thing—why shouldn't you be able to take pride in your work and derive personal good feelings from you hard work? The problem is that it's not always going to be good: negative feedback from the job world will hit you really hard ("Oh I suck, because X doesn't work, Y is slow, and Z never shipped"). The only way to avoid this job->personal problems is to avoid the "tight coupling" and not identify so strongly with your job/startup. The next time something great happens at work, you ship something, you achieve a breakthrough, etc. don't let you ego feed on that positive feedback. Just say "yes it was a good day at work" (i.e. don't put yourself personally in the picture "I'm so great because I did this") You have to stay at arms length. Then when negative feedback comes up at work you can say "This was a bad day at work" and won't feel personally affected by this. Basically, you want the "job system" to be able to crash, without your "self system" being affected.

I think if you take my advice and reconsider your "tight coupling" to the job/company, the problems you're experiencing with your colleague will become easer to manage. It's not your job to think about the wellbeing of the company as a whole. Just focus on your tasks, and don't try to fix other people. Sure if feels great to ship lots of things quickly, but it doesn't HAVE to be this way, and when productivity doesn't happen there is no need to beat yourself up about it. Rushing and pushing harder doesn't work long term. Just keep shipping at the pace that the team can support and don't try to go faster than that. Instead try doing less, taking afternoons off, and stop compensating for your colleague in order to achieve some higher ideal standard of productivity.

In another commend, ChuckMcM gave this advice """More importantly, change the criteria for 'success' in your mind from "product" to "what you have produced." """ which is very good and could be a first step to the de-coupling work you have to do from the company.
- ~/Desktop/ Contains mostly screenshots. I use `defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false` to hide all the icons

- ~/Documents/ is where stuff goes before it gets organized

- ~/Documents/<topic>/ is where things go when there are enough of them to form a group

- ~/Documents/projects/<project-name>/ is where I clone projects from github or create my own. Occasionally I clear out projects I haven't touched in a while.
All the code is in the ~/Projects/subfolders.
Everything else is in ~/Downloads. Every once in a while the whole ~/Downloads content gets moved to ~/Downloads/old/001, 002, ... etc (thousands already), once the space runs out I move these to an external hard drive. I actually dream of something like what WinFS was supposed to be where there would be no folders/locations but only meaningful metadata you can find files by.

It would also be an additional thing you'd have to prove was safe and effective. Menstruation is a natural process and it would have been reasonable to assume that it was necessary for long term reproductive health. Turns out that's not the case, but we only know that because of additional studies.
I keep wanting to be hyped about elixer but the performance benchmarks confuse me. If you look at the tech emperor benchmarks[1] phoenix makes the list at #46 registering 16% of the performance of the top framework. I'm willing to sacrifice performance for readable maintainable code but it just surprises me that its that slow.

Anyone know whats going on there?

So if you are in a death+70 country and happen to find it in a website from a death+50 country, you are not allowed to read it? The problem, I think, is redistribution. And the website already has the permission to redistribute it so it should be fair game to read it from there.

What happens if I travel to a death+50 country and buy a cheaper version there and return? Isn't it the same?
I keep lowkey looking for studies on how much actual free time a person has in a day—really free, subtracting all chores and commuting. I've heard that some people have timed that and the results were rather surprising compared to the ‘common knowledge,’ but I'd like to have a source to cite.
Since the Twitter account has provided no useful details, I'm going to blindly speculate.

My guess is that they are using a virtual business address service that is commonly used by spam/fraud organizations (e.g., fake pharmaceuticals), and maybe ISNIC is cracking down on this due to abuse. They don't want their TLD to be known as a junk TLD like .ck, .gq, .info, etc. Or someone is attempting to take legal action against the owner of the domain and ISNIC can't comply because they just have a fake address with no known physical entity.
I'm very grateful that I came across this article.

For a long time now I've been struggling with balancing work and life. I've recently started playing with the idea of exchanging a pay cut for a 4-day work week (I haven't brought it up to my employer yet though). It seems obvious now, but I haven't previously considered using my vacation days to do a test run.

Most of the points in the article are solid, but the one about improved focus struck me as odd. It seems that the author is conflating the change in work hours with a change in his process. Even without any schedule changes, you'd still benefit from thoughtfully planning your day out. Then again, maybe less time forces you to be more proactive.

I use Elixir daily for the past 8 months, and I love it. For my personal projects, I use a great Heroku-like service called Gigalixir (https://gigalixir.com/). No restarts or connection limits for the free tier, and it runs on your choice of Google Cloud or AWS behind the scenes. Elixir doesn't have as many easy cloud deployment options as, say, JS, so this service is really helpful.

Few people here have referred to the /tmp directory. This is essential in my workflow. I put a lot of things there (this is also my Downloads folder) and when the computer reboots, its clean again!

One of the computers I use stay turned on for long times, so I have /tmp/t and a cronjob that cleans all files older than 1 day in this directory:

# Remove all files in /tmp/t older than 1440 min (one day)
*/10 * * * * find /tmp/t -cmin +1440 -delete > /tmp/.find-delete-1440.log 2>&1

Besides that, I have a lot of bunches in $HOME. dot.files, dot.vim, dot.mutt, etc., are all in private git repositories and I have a "~/s" directory I keep synchronized among different machines with rsync (I don't trust Google nor Dropbox). I was thinking about starting using Syncthing [1], though.

There are ~four things that matter when developing product hardware:

Capability, cost, design and firmware: is the hardware/firmware combination capable of what you want, how much is the bill of materials, how laborious is designing the hardware (schematic and routing) and how easy and fast is it to develop on the system.

_Nothing_ so far has AVRs beat on the last aspect and they fare very well on the third also. And this is a shame, because similar development ease and LibC style is something that other vendors could very, very easily reproduce but are stuck up on forcing vendor lock-in and pushing their ever shittier IDEs on you.

However AVRs almost always lose on 1 and 2, especially compared to ARMs, which are just better in almost every way.
> However, I think it is a reasonable policy to try and reduce differences in outcomes if a group has been historically denied opportunities, at least for some period of time.

Honestly, at some point the corrupting effect of history (especially in sex discrimination, where the effect is not generational [everyone is the descendant of a woman]) is less severe than the corrupting effect of accepting discrimination today as some sort of "balance" to that perception of history.

You could make a credible case that Gen Z (my generation, by a hair) North American girls have had considerably more encouragement and opportunity to enter TEM fields (the S is more evenly split) than the boys who grew up with them; so will we still discriminate in their favour when it comes to hiring?

Well, to some companies it seems the answer is still no. That first company I worked at is still today pouring resources into a free training program only for women and girls.

It is kind of striking that the pill is the only medication that comes this way. Not because it's paternalistic against women, but because it's such an obviously effective tool against forgetting your pills. I transfer my pills to a calendar container because I'd forget otherwise. So does seemingly every old person in the country. It's a bit of a wonder why the pharmaceutical industry hasn't innovated.
