I should probably hang out with my angry chainsmoking bit-twiddling mentor more while he's still around. Telling people who "can" that they "should" is something where delivery makes all the difference. Those greybeards don't tolerate slacking or whining when it's business time, and when you've earned a smile for being clever, damn it's good. Also there are so many more nuances to the appropriate use of the word "fuck" I don't understand yet.
Beautiful. And I must say, it looks much the same from the male perspective.
> #6 “What the smartest people do on the weekend is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years.” “Hobbies are what the smartest people spend their time on when they aren’t constrained by near-term financial goals.”

We don't know this actually. What we know is the things that the 'smart' (whatever that is!) people who have succeeded did on the weekends. We not only don't know what the things they did that never went anywhere were or others who are less notable are spending their time on.

I hate these types of sugary statements that everyone flocks to.

Hey, thanks for the question!

We've used amazon a lot for ordering seltzer in our offices, and it doesn't have the selection (1/10th of ours). There's also a pain about managing delivery times. Amazon is optimizing for 'real-time' delivery, but what I care about is not having to think about my seltzer and just have it be taken care of. Amazon fresh experience is _not_ this. We're looking to remove as much mental overhead as possible, by simply always having your flavors, having predictable delivery, and making getting what you a delightful experience.

This was a soft fork, the article is incorrect.
tbf I think the "I don't want to entrust all my notes to a startup that might not be here next year" issue is more relevant to the average person than "but surely you could roll your own if you were a desktop Linux user". On the other hand, I agree normal users don't want software to stick in docker containers, they want a nice friendly GUI that also happens to backup copies of their data somewhere they might be able to access them with another programme if the company ends their incredible journey.

One of the best things about Dropbox as an early adopter was knowning that if they died or got acquihired, you still had one or more local copies of everything you'd ever uploaded to them.

>The majority of "ordinary" people I interact with believe Facebook is listening to their conversations 24/7. It's been brought up multiple times on HN.

I see this a bunch when people say, they talked about an item with someone then google showed them an ad. Sure, perhaps all that data is being processed, but more likely, it's predictive and they know who in your social circle knows about this item. Your friend read a story about it, searched for it on amazon.

People are still in this mode where they don't realize how much info leaks without capturing any conversation, and how good prediction is/can be at this point. So the only explanation is that we're being spied on all the time because I don't think people can wrap their minds around prediction models that are this good.

There are stories from 10 years ago of advertising agencies knowing that someone is pregnant before they did and ten years later, the general public assumes they have to have the original thought first so FAAMG knows what to sell them.
This is normal and happens to everyone i belive.
Not an expert but would recommend you to look at pyenv with virtualenv from the start. This allows you to use python3 version of your choice in virtual environment based say per project etc. Obviously, this landscape has been changing rapidly lately and other people might recommend different tools, but for manual (or automated) server deployment I like this - I can test new versions of libraries and python (3.7.2 ;) and switch between them super easily without affecting/breaking each other.
For Singularity University I conceived of a similar idea. I called it TimeTraveller.

I am not on my computer but a couple of ideas I had:

1. Match people with similar personalities (measured by the big 5). This idea hypothesizes that similar personalities can help each other.

2. Match people per topic. This idea hypothesizes that experts can help non-experts.

Matching older people with younger people and allowing them to chat regarding their lives can give a time traveller type of effect. Here is someone who's done what you want to do and walked a similar path beforehand already.

Slack works because of push notifications. A random IRC app can't handle push notifications for you because they aren't the IRC server and aren't running a bouncer for you. On the other hand, the IRC server can't handle push notifications for you because they don't have an app signed with Apple's key sending the notifications.

Basically protocols as a general thing can't work on iOS, only individual apps/services which get to read all your messages and access your login credentials work.
Do you (or anyone else with the same claim) have a citation for this?

I've spent some time reverse-engineering the echo microphone board, and while there is an interlock that prevents recording while the red mute button is lit (just the light under the button, not the ring), I didn't see anything that would prevent recording while the ring light was off.
It's less safe than email + password. Someone can break into your email with email + password, or you can forget it logged in and they have your Notion automatically, so it has the same problems email + password have, plus some more.

Huh. I came to the opposite conclusion - growing up in Eastern Europe, "they're always listening" is the default position for me, so one more listening device is no big deal.
It's unlikely that the product would have as much usage in the first place to get any attention, nor would the protocol be open-source for AWS to host or build its own version. That's a critical difference compared to proprietary software, in which case AWS would be a customer and the vendor would be just fine.
It seems like you're looking for a Low Profile keyboard - have you looked at Logitech/Lenovo/etc on Amazon?
The first article isn't anything nefarious.

> However, Apple's practice of sharing Siri data with third parties [to provide and improve Siri, Dictation, and dictation functionality] is perfectly legal and outlined in Apple's iOS Software License Agreement, which Siri users are required to accept.

I mentioned using the voice data to market "without permission." That's my rationale. All of these scary location tracking this, retargeting that methods are always buried in a privacy policy somewhere. But when you start doing it on the DL, that's when you get in trouble. So the cons greatly outweigh the pros for any sane company.

And of course the second article is an isolated case of human error. Nothing to do with violating privacy for profit.

> Ask HN:

Maybe that is the issue. You are operating in a world where you think there are answers to things that will make them easier. You need to move away from that thinking entirely. What happens is your brain is not trained to enjoy the challenge of the undesirable things that you will need to do to succeed. There will not always be a trick or a tip and most certainly a big advantage if you can simply figure out the answer all on your own. That will then motivate you in future situations. [1]

[1] Advice, mine, against my advice ironically.
Negative keywords are the big thing for me. I manage a six figure campaign for an insurance company and have 3,500 negative keywords. Each ppc click costs around $20 to $40.

I would expect a professional SEM company to spend some time generating a reasonable negative keyword list first but the good news is 50k of spend is probably going to have 30k at least of wasted spend to derive negative keywords from!
They need to add CDN, caching etc. in the core WP and anyone can have a viable self-published, self-hosted site. Why depend on minefield plugins and/or paid hosting?
When I worked through SICP in the 80s it was with XLisp on MS-DOS. XLisp didn't optimize tail recursion, and I had well under a megabyte, but this turned out to be a problem only once or twice, and ad-hoc hacks were enough then. (OTOH the system didn't have an only 1000-deep call-stack limit by default, either.)

It's true that this'd be more of a problem for real-world work.
I generally agree with you, but it depends on what Tidal's normal responses are. If they aggressively defend themselves in public usually, but do a 'no comment' on this one, it may be a sign.
I recently found a workflow that really helps me stay on track: blog piece-by-piece as I'm working on the project. My current one is "A month of React Native", where I'm learning RN and building my first mobile app.

Not a hardware guy, but couldn’t you tie the LEDs to whatever bus that connects the mic and the main CPU?
You're the one making that connection. Not the reporters. Reporters also say that companies are "woo'ing" male executives all the time.

I also wouldn't care if they were actually using gendered language but this isn't even an instance of that. More likely they used the word "Woo" for the sake of wordplay with the name "Lisa Su"
One of the big roles an Investment Bank plays in organizing an IPO is building brand awareness and product understanding with potential investors. Places like Slack and Spotify likely feel that 1) their product has sufficient market awareness and 2) is fairly intuitive to understand. So, why spend the $$$ on an expensive middle-man if you don't need it? (Provided that you can hire a competent legal team to organize the process for you!)
Even though it doesn't have the same theoretical rigour as Rust or Erlang (Go is a totally different beast), D is a really thoughtful, modern language which I - personally, of course - feel very productive in. Although I'm really behind the times on Rust, metaprogramming feels like a joke in other (Non ML-esque) languages compared to the facilities available in D

Walter Bright, the man who designed most of the language along with Andrei Alexandrescu, are both C++ heavyweights and it shows. Template syntax using template!type instead of template<type> is a great - surface level - example of this attention to detail: Easier on the eyes and orders of magnitude easier for the compiler
I haven't figured out. My current plan is to open source the layer that allows users to access their own raw data, to ensure portability.

Fantastic comment on reddit regarding how unscientific these "implicit bias" tests are:

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/afmxkx/americans_u...
Well you should focus on the end, think about what it'll be like when it is done. Stop the internal dialogue of "I hate doing X" and instead say "I can't wait to see this out in the wild" and know this is a single step closer to that.

I was going to ask why you 'hate' the payment provider but I can see it's because their SDK is poorly documented. So the truth is more like "I'm frustrated because I can not make steady progress, because I have to stop to find a workaround for yet another edge case". So you can not get into a flow. you're just frustrated.

I suggest you stop coding all together and master that SDK (with all of its shortcomings). Then you'll have a level of competency that will help you move forward. I question that this payment provider is 'the easiest thing' if they are that hard to work with. Are you using Stripe? They are actually very good.

One more thing, this is a bit revealing I think: "I'm questioning if I even want to be in this industry"

Yeah, that's the main problem right there, here's why.

Let's say you needed to figure out this exact payment processor with their shitty Go API in order to impress a hot girl.

Let me tell you something, I have pulled off MIRACLES to impress women. I got us behind the scenes at a Pro Hockey game once to impress a girl. I got us in the captains chair AND the engine room on a cruise ship once to impress a girl.

You are never going to be intrinsically motivated on this project and that's the main problem. By the time you had to motivate yourself enough times to post to HN about it, you are about worn out already.

Life is too short man. STOP. Think about what you would LOVE to do and go do that.

Ask your brain very, very good questions and you will be surprised at how amazing your answers are. Write, rewrite and edit your questions until they are perfect, then ask yourself that question.

Get specific. I'm talking like "How can I have financially rewarding, fulfilling, secure work that I love to do where I make a massive impact, become an expert in my field, feel significant with an impressive title, unlimited growth and enjoy it the whole way with no regrets?"

Ask yourself a specific question like that and I promise you your brain will come up with an answer.

Then, go do that.

If you were doing that, you'd have mastered this problem by now.

If you can't think that globally right now, use this technique to get past this one problem.

Make it a huge ask: "How can I finish this billing integration, have fun the whole time while writing clean, error free, standards compliant code and have it done by the end of January?" Your brain will tell you.

Trust yourself.

Last thing here: If you 'think' you 'might' want to get out of this field, then you already know you should be out.

You can code. Coding in ANY job is a superpower.

Go find something else to love.

It's out there.
And in many cases (not all) is a result of lifestyle choices, which are on the table for value judgment.
Google definitely uses MySQL (e.g. https://www.mysql.com/customers/view/?id=555) and offers a MySQL deployment/management as a Service in GCloud. No idea what, if any, their contributions back to upstream have been, but I know they've been using it for important internal stuff for years, so I would be very surprised if, at the very least, no patches have come from out from the chocolate factory doors.
I think he's got a point, actually.

If someone is short, they are very, very unlikely to join an NBA team. But if they're tall, you don't know much.

All this is saying is that if someone is missing a necessary ingredient to do something, they can't do it. If they have it, some other ingredient becomes limiting. Or noise drowns out any predictive signal.

It connects nicely with the threshold theory of IQ, basically if you're above some baseline, that's opens up certain possibilities for you. But having loads and loads of IQ doesn't help much.

This is probably a mechanic that works in many areas. Some test will exclude people very well, but not choose "the good ones" well at all.
It feels so weird that I can understand this discussion now.

I used to think that all these Haskell discussions were garbage. But now I get it.

A Sony floppy disk camera was the first digital camera I used too in 1998.

The floppy disk storage was amazing, so convenient. I seem to remember the disk fitting about the same number of images as a roll of film, 24 or so.

I still have the files,
they are 30k to 60k jpegs at 640x480 pixels!

It was basically a Sony video camera with the nice 10x optical zoom without the tape and with a floppy instead.

It looked something like this (may not be the exact model).

You can write pure functional code in D, if that floats your boat.
By the way this 'spartan is good' and 'frugal is good' theme has been making the rounds for a long long time (obviously pre internet). It always impresses writers. It is so wholesome to them and the audience. Opulence is derided as wasteful and de facto bad. It's like the story of the guy out in the wilderness who makes do w/o power tools. Somehow people eat that type of thing up. Salt of the earth and so on.
Classic HN response.

I'd guess a FTP and a linux file-server would solve all your filesharing woes as well.

No dev making a mass market device or software should build as if the 1% graybeard engineer is gonna be the only user, that's a lot more user hostile.
Notion looks great, and I've been hoping to migrate it. There are two big problems.

One is the migration path from Evernote. If you look at all the current notetaking apps, none of them seem to have capitalized on the fact that there are lots of unhappy Evernote users out there who would kill for a smooth, painless migration path. Instead, these apps ask you to export your Evernote notes as HTML, something which Evernote only lets you do for a single notebook at a time. I have lots of individual notebooks, so this would take forever. Plus, you lose folders and images this way. Why not just write a small app that scrapes the whole Evernote database? Last I checked, it's an SQLite database!

The other is the lack of offline search. This isn't a dealbreaker, but it seems pretty suspect for an app like this. Losing cell service completely is one thing, but shouldn't it be "offline indexing first" anyway? Obviously it has all my notes synced at all times. I want the search to be lightning fast even if I'm on a slow connection.

It seems like "attachments" (files like PDFs, and also images) are not stored offline, either. In the iOS app, clicking on a file or image brings up an S3 URL inside an embedded web browser.

The so called modern day web frameworks (Vue, React, etc) are needed if you want to get a job and become a hardcore FE developer.

But, if you just want something that will maximize your productivity, you should stick to the basics: HTML, CSS, Javascript and jQuery. It's super easy and will get your web app done much more quickly than anything else. Otherwise, you'll end up in a rabbit-hole spending days just getting your infrastructure set up.
Please don't! This will wear out both the battery and the flash memory for no reason. It's exactly this kind of sloppy coding that made these manufacturers decide app killers were necessary.

I think the point is that bugs exist and will continue to exist: whether it's the same bug, a different one, mal-intent, negligence, or anything else. Sure, this one device won't solve every single problem out there, but should we not solve anything just because we can't solve everything?
Apple Wanted to Use Qualcomm Chips for 2018 iPhones, Qualcomm Wouldn't Sell Them
My first keyboard on a PC was a Buckling spring keyboard from Original IBM PC (XT). Actually I liked the feeling of typing on it and nothing came ever close to it in my opinion.

But.... nowadays I also want to be fast,quiet and small and do not prefer too much typing "force". So since years it's the Apple magic keyboard 1 everywhere https://i.stack.imgur.com/WV6up.jpg
Also with an old Macbook Air there is not much difference from Laptop to the wireless keyboard.

The teaching will vary greatly depending on teacher. But I remember that I was told that rigid bodies, and hence centre of mass thinking did not work in relativistic mechanics. It's very possible that as a student I never put that together with the inadmissibility of point charges in EM.

I must insist though that EM has no problem with initial value formulations. It simply doesn't provide you with a theory of matter. It turns out that that theory of matter really requires QM, hence in EM we never bother with non-QM models of relativistic matter. That's why you have to look in the GR literature.

As a pedagogical point I can agree that the limits of the conceptual foundations of our theories are never really explored enough. EM turns out to be fine, the field tensors are completely measurable, but that's a really cool paper that isn't taught either:

If you mean "fruitful", then what's wrong with saying that?

Maybe because "fruitful", like "seminal", is imprecise and inapt in the context of deep-learning research papers.

More precise terms might be "canonical" or "foundational" or "popular" or "influential" or "groundbreaking". How is "fruitful" or "seminal" more precise or evocative than these?

As for the inherent sexism, how many women would prefer their research to be called "seminal" instead of "influential"?

This whole thing is a race as software itself gets better and better. Just think about how hard it was to run things 5 years ago before the rapid rise of containers and orchestrators. One person with Kubernetes can easily run a large cluster with hundreds of applications, even with private owned hardware. And this is all free now.

Being ahead of the curve with proprietary products is a viable business but just not as big as these companies want it to be. Meanwhile there are thousands of smaller boutique software firms solving problems and making great profits.
