> I'm pretty sure doctors

Doctors have to go through over a decade of accredited education and training to even apply to be a doctor at a hospital. It is a restricted and regulated profession. Software development is nothing of the sort.

> absolutely insulting to someone

Wow, this really sounds like entitlement.

You don't deserve anything. Nobody knows how you developed that "productive software". Did you have help from a friend? did you take 10 years longer than someone else would? Did you copy some of it? Did you work alone and would be useless if you had to interact with others and work as part of a team or project?

Sure, when you're a widely known developer with plenty of real accolade (not emails or tweets), then you can expect to be treated differently.

Until then, don't expect to be treated any differently just because you have some code on github.
They have duck.com and ddg.gg. Both Firefox and Chromium make <ctrl-enter> wrap the url in 'www.' and '.com', so 'duck<ctrl-enter>' works.
Patents? If I remember correctly, Fossil launched one of the first smart watches, running Palm OS.
I cannot remember exactly how they each screw it up, but the issues I have had are, but not limited to,

a) truncation of data
b) removal of line breaks
c) not escaping enclosing values, ex. " as ""
d) using \n or other values in place of actual line breaks or tabs
e) using \N for NULL values (which isn't too bad, but it would be nice to be able to configure this)
f) in general not complying with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180
Sounds like government regulations?

Thats typically been the way we've managed these kinds of threats/bad actors, but technology is changing so fast and policy makers are hamstrung by bureaucracy, incompetence, apathy or all three.
Induction [1] was supposed to be that, but the webpage is long gone, and it looks like there's just a source dump on GitHub with "alpha" code that hasn't been touched in 5 years.

I'm not sure if this is necessarily true. The book Reader, Come Home by Maryanne Wolf actually discusses this. There are quantifiable differences between reading online and reading physically. So much so that even printing out the same journal article can change it. It was an interesting read, to say the least.
You should study math. Especially, the problems in discrete math. These problems often require you consider "every single situation", "all scenarios" and "all of the 27 possible outcomes" and likely go way above and beyond that.

As a bonus, math trains mental endurance, toughness, agility and creativity. Ain't nothing compares to math in this department.
came to say this exactly. bye now.
Well said.

I think the problem is not that these illnesses aren't perceived as real, but that people generally don't understand them, like you say, and too often, they are used to explain problems that have other causes. As someone who does suffer from ADD, but not severely, I totally understand how the problem can be real, but the flip side of putting every restless kid, especially boys, on stimulants is also a problem.

I would expect the HN crowd to be people who would be likely have more experience with these kinds of disorders, or at least be more exposed to people who experience them, and that they would be a little more sensitive to the reality of these disorders.
So do you have any intention of trying to explain why that commenter is wrong, or are you just going to keep condescending them about being wrong without any substantiation? You haven't refuted a single claim made in this thread with a source, an example, documentation or even your own anecdotal experience.
I had a couple of projects where it was the official modelling tool.

Can vouch for it, one of the best experiences with enterprise modelling tools.

Yeah, I had no help with a down payment nor college payment help, and bought around the same age. And I know plenty others young couples and singles who have done the same thing.

I’m guessing the effect the grandparent is seing is in high cost of living, coastal cities. It’s certainly not the norm across the US.
Also you are missing all the specific pieces the set needs.
If that is true, then technically anyone at the airport is putting their lives on the line. No one life is worth more than another, so arguing they are putting their lives on the line is an attempt at controlling the conversation.

That said, the airport is a TSA run security theater: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater. They know this, of course, but must act otherwise.
Speed limits usually are for the worst case scenario: an old car, foggy and rainy day.
> If you balk at breaking down a relatively simple and straightforward problem into approachable steps that a computer can interpret, then what exactly do you think that programming is?

Programmers tend to be good at putting their head down and solving a problem. They tend to be very bad at live coding for someone whose job is to judge you.

A hiring process that measures you on the latter rather than the former is broken. It's like interviewing a novelist by asking them to extemporize a speech for you.

It's very annoying that every attempt to make the case against the latter is met with people equating it with the former. They're very different skills.

Maybe for some people evaluating performance in live coding is a good proxy for evaluating their programming ability in general, but it's pretty obvious that there are a ton of excellent programmers for which it's a terrible proxy.

I think this is it. Cyberpunk has been sadly predictive of the last few sociopolitical years, and seems very, very relevant today.
Why are you driving yourself crazy instead of being a responsible parent?
Purchase the competition and extinguish it. There's a term for this -- acquire and stifle? Something like that.
Remember before all the TSA nonsense, airports had metal detectors and xrays operated by airport security? Did they not also prevent guns from being carried on planes?
Can't be repeated enough. Totally incomparable populations, natural resources, military size, and monetary situation between yen and renminbi.

It's quite embarrassing, really, because the frequency of this comparison is almost certainly due to American perception of ethnicity. You don't see India/80's Japan comparisons or Brazil/80's Japan comparisons as often.
I wish I could tell both DDG and Google that I don't care about Java 7. Not sure why they both default to giving old Javadocs, but I suspect it's due to a lot of enterprise developers who are still stuck in old versions.
Would you consider a noSQL query language?
I submit - that engineers should NOT be working on anything technical except at the highest abstraction layers. We should NOT be coding, or scaling servers.

Technically minded, astute engineers are great at solving problems. In an ideal world, we'd be using our ability to solve complex real world problems. I'd much rather the Golang engineer equivalent 20 years from now solve critical watersupply issues to a village, than writing API's with flame graphs. Full disclosure: CS engineer by love and training.
> Google for "tree traversal" and spend 10 minutes researching common algorithms.

The point is you wouldn't know what to search for. If you don't know anything about cars, you wouldn't be able to search for "alternator fault". The best you could do is "engine problems" which won't help you solve the actual problem.
I had good experience with custom foam mattresses made by a local store. They let you customize it in many ways. And the price is less than half of usual chain stores.
> ...their nearly complete inability to transfer those requirements into software without complex implementations that they could never hope to implement themselves.

I wouldn't even mind if they even had "those requirements". That would be a huge step up. Oftentimes the requirements are not written down and stuck in tribal knowledge. And woe betide you if the tribe is an outsourcer or offshore team. About half the time, they're unintentionally leaving knowledge in the heads of their meat-robots, and getting the information transferred out of those heads is painful and time-consuming, because "set of procedures for meat-robots" is effectively what they're hired for.

If the procedure is periodically performed, I often get pretty good results just asking for copies of the resultant emails reporting completion, and working backwards from there. Automation at this layer of staff work is considered exotic developer-realm, needs-a-budget-and-a-project-manager effort, even for what most HN readers would consider relatively trivial multi-hour or multi-day scripting work.

The abruptness and agony of automation sweeping through these layers in the upcoming years as the tooling to discover, capture, distill, and maintain these requirements with tight synchronization to software teams maintaining the code behind the automation are going to be politically challenging, as a lot of these people have zero notion what they're doing can be automated away, even as they consume the results of ML in their daily lives.

And I'm rather glum about teaching these people how to perform the automatation themselves. The reception I've gotten to my offers to help them get on the track to learning programming and automation have been very underwhelming. Even if someone doesn't "get it" about coding, just the exposure to the thinking patterns would help me enormously cut down on unnecessary meeting times, as there are still way too many people whose conception of automation is closer to "can't they/you just...[magic/mind-read]?"
When the bank flags it as a possible compromise, they probably don't. Different banks probably have different procedures, but when my wife's debit card was compromised recently, they asked her if she had contacted the merchant- she had not, as she didn't even know who they were. After she explained that, they proceeded to process her claim, but they did check.
You can usually get closer to $5 per pound on eBay if you search carefully. I built an algorithm to do this searching and filtering for me:

I think it's more likely that the author of the piece appears to be obsessed with any fiction to which "punk" is appended and appears to be excluding a great deal of other material that disproves his thesis such as the late Iain M. Banks' Culture series, Alastair Reynold's "Revelation Space" series, Neal Asher's Polity series, Cixin Liu's trilogy, many of Peter Hamilton's books and even authors such as China Miéville (Embassytown).
That's a good point. The IR filter should light up like a beacon with most red LEDs that include a bunch of IR, such as the ones you see in a ring around most night-vision security cameras. I don't know if that would be detectable with just the naked eye and a filter, though. You'd have to have another camera capable of seeing the IR.

However it wouldn't detect those same night-vision cameras, since they are most often just standard webcam guts with that IR filter omitted as you say.. I really think this thing is just what it says--a lens detector, which catches specular glints off the glass lens and doesn't have much to do with the actual CCD or CMOS or whatever sensor is underneath. It could definitely be making use of the IR filter on most cameras to make those shine particularly bright.
This is very interesting. I wish I could read more about it.

Is this true of minimum-security prisons too?
Some weeks ago I had to choose a PHP framework and ended up with Laravel vs Symfony.

I started the project twice in both frameworks.

And while Laravel might be the most popular one I would say you should go with Symfony 4.

Laravel just has too much magic. When your IDE doesn't know what is going on, how will you?

But whatever the choice, skip 'annotations'! It's a bad trick that will mess up your project at one point (for example if your IDE cleans up unused usages).
Not really, in my experience. If it’s a real director position rather than in name only you simply don’t have time to get into the details enough to be good at this - if you have enough context you aren’t doing your real job well. This can feel like positive contribution but you are actually slowing down the entire group.

What you should be doing is focusing on making sure the decision making process is working well and that you are all learning from issues. If you have an idea you think is better, by all means hand that off to the team. But you have to let them decide against it (so long as they can articulate why). Absent strong empirical evidence that the path is wrong, you go with their choice and discuss how to validate it.

In all cases except team incompetence you are better off this way in the long run. And if the team is incompetent, you have bigger problems.
Embrace, extend, extinguish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...
Yeah, initially my first reaction was "we need regulations" then I realized that's just not going to possible especially in the future. We need a new corporate structure that can compete and reproduce in the current market.
damn FOSL really need the cash huh? $40M and they said yes!?
> Why would it disappear tomorrow -- it wont. Ill always run a full node. Many like me. This makes it valuable.

My point was that nobody has a non-ideological reason to use it and there are many alternatives which are cheaper, faster, and safer to use. Saying it's already taken off is hard to justify when there's no particular pull other than speculation.

As for “censorship resistance”, you might want to read more about what life is like in a repressive country before giving people dangerous advice. Bitcoin requires you to be on an active network, making your traffic easily visible and the design requires you to leave a permanent public record of every transaction you've ever made — which is great if you're the secret police but not anyone else. Satellite internet connections are expensive, slow, and trackable as soon as they care to make an effort. More importantly, start thinking bout what using it would be like: you need to get a client, hope that it's not compromised or flawed; find someone willing to convert money for you, hoping that they're not working for the police; find someone to buy/sell with, hoping that they're not working for the police; and hope that your devices are never searched. If you ever get any of that wrong, you've left a trail showing that you're interested in hiding something from the authorities — better hope that you can subsequently convince them that you're not hiding something even deeper than what they find…

The idea of depression as a real disorder that requires treatment seems to be on its way to being sufficiently suffused into the public consciousness.

I don't think this is the case for things like ADHD, OCD, hoarding, misophonia, or milder forms of autism like Asperger's.

By no means am I a lawyer but I did a quick skim of their trademark agreement for fun:

Our Marks consist of the following registered, unregistered and/or pending trademarks, service marks and logos which are subject to change without notice: Docker, Docker “Moby Dock” whale logo and the stylist representations of a container, octopus, and other entities in our original works of authorship, DOCKER HUB, RUNHUB, LIBCONTAINER, LIBTRUST, LIBCHAN, LIBSWARM, LIBPACK, DOCKER SWARM, DOCKERIZE IT, CLAY

In this case, "Docker" is the trademark we're looking at, and specifically registered with a capital D it appears

Any permitted use must not falsely imply or suggest a sponsorship or endorsement by, or a partnership or affiliation with Docker.

I don't think the author is being malicious in any way of course but from a quick glance, I couldn't say for sure that it's not a Docker product (design guidelines aside)

The Docker mark is used only in a referential context or for naming Docker or to indicate compatibility, and not in a title of a program, domain name, website, product or service

This is essentially the key distinguisher between the parent comment and the OP's site

---

Anyway, it's not so much that I'm pro-Docker or anything, it's more that they don't really have a choice legally. If companies don't protect the use of their copyrights/trademarks etc, they are diluted and risk the chance of becoming "generic". Having said that, it can definitely go overboard and lead to frivolous DMCAs, lawsuits etc etc

All this aside, while I'm not sure I have a use for the site (most things I dockerise use a compose file w/ multiple containers), it seems like a neat project so keep it up :)
True, but we'd need to pass new laws to prevent it, right now it's perfectly legal for the city to be doing it, that was all I meant.
Maybe screen time isn't hurting well being in the short term but personally I'll still err on the side of caution. We have 0 data on the long term effects of screen time, which is what I'd be more concerned about anyway.

> With every big data breach coming to light, more and more people get sensitized about the issues of privacy and needless data collection.

Citation needed? That's not my experience at all. I find people getting more comfortable with their image and personal information basically being in the public domain--especially the younger people who have always lived in a social media driven world.

We already live much closer to this world that not, anyway. Security cameras are ubiquitous. And every Nest doorbell we add brings us closer to making impossible to walk freely without being monitored. Most people I know will trade safety and security of giving law enforcement access to this data simply to get the benefits of not having their Amazon packages stolen.

I admit there's a chance that it doesn't happen, but powerful things tend to win in a battle with ethical things. And this is very powerful. So if I had to dedicate resources to either stopping a powerful thing or fixing laws so the powerful thing isn't extra harmful, I'd pick the latter any day.

It's true. The big reason that kids don't go out and play anymore is that there are no kids outside playing anymore. I live in a neighbourhood where I'm only a few blocks from 2 elementary schools and I never see any kids out playing.

(or old.reddit.com if you prefer the old reddit UI) with a keyword such as 'rr', so that typing 'rr aww' in the address bar takes you to the /r/aww subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww
Critical Signs It’s Time to Hire an Amazon Ranking Expert

Do you know of any successful and "big" companies that follow the structure?
No feelings is a fine situation. Languages are just a tool.

But some tools are more powerful and/or easier to use.

Using R for work at the moment - what a mess. So many exceptions, silent errors, unexpected behaviour, special cases, 3 object-oriented systems in a non object-oriented language - each of them slightly different; lazy vs non-lazy evaluation, 3 different types of data frames - similar to each other (but not quite the same) and you can use the same operations and packages on some of them, but not always; the same algorithms implemented in different packages with a similar but slightly different syntax... and so on.

Many tools/languages that have a difficult learning curve also provide a significant payoff/increase in productivity when you master the tool. R is nothing like this. Learning all of the strange features just brings you up to a level where you can write code have it do what you expect it would do.
I wonder if Uber/Lyft has seen a jump in driver sign ups since the shutdown. Not sure how fast their onboarding is...but probably faster than trying to find a new job / temp job?
not that there's anything wrong with that.
The issues of the people who are using blind to voice their opinions are at least as serious as the problems the woman who quit has. I understand that she felt harassed, but the point was not to hurt her, but to organize against her behaviour that others felt was too much. Also the article proved that Blind was needed: Facebook management was looking for the people and they could have got into trouble.

Malign Incompetence of the British Ruling Class
The private key would need to be stored in some read only media like a smartcard or a PROM chip. A boot environment that can only be externally programmed would need to be the first thing to start up and check the integrity of the filesystem. It would hash it, timestamp it, and send it to an HSM to sign it with a secured private key, then transmit the signed hash out and hand off the rest of the startup to the main OS. Tesla gets the hash, verifies the signature so they can check whether or not the OS is compromised. Because the bootloader chip sits outside the control of the main OS, you can ensure that as long as someone doesn't rip out the ECU, the filesystem check is legit. Another step would be to allow the HSM to cycle in new keys using a KEK. The HSM would have a master private key that is only used for KEK updates and a lesser private key that it uses for signing hashes.
Re:10 foot tall human

Obviously at this point, all we can do is speculate, and I'm not a medical professional. Perhaps there's some gene modification that will cause uncontrolled gigantism, and perhaps a handful of people will want that. If they do, that's their right.

Re:Regulation

If gene editing works as imagined, you could have a regulated market like doctors and pharmacies for legitimate medical reasons (such as disease resistance) which would definitely lower overall medical costs since it would be a fantastic form of preventative medicine. As such, people not looking for experimental shit would not come across it by accident. Basically treat it like regular medicine.

But if people want to home brew their own stuff and share mechanisms on the internet, or buy and sell "supplements" as they do today with next to no FDA regulation, they should have that right.
