Because topic areas are in no way equivalent. My expertise is specific and not of broad public interest. But tax policy, for example, absolutely is of public interest. And news organisations have been covering for years. Individual journalists have been covering it for years and are as much experts as anyone out there.
First disconnection to reality cannot be explained, only experienced. If you have not experienced hallucinogenics than attempting to comprehend that meaning is likely futile. Furthermore, each individual may have their own unique experience/definition of this disconnected reality. It makes conveying experiences very difficult.

I'd say 24 to 48 hours. Though at 8 hours post consumption you are pretty much back and I think most of what remains is system shock. LSD is an entirely different story as the trip can last twice as long as shrooms. Despite the effects being less physically severe (i.e. no stomach discomfort) I was never a fan. Twelve hours of being high is just too long for me. Would be nice to get thoughts from someone who has taken lots of LSD as my experience is limited to about 3 trips.
==solely middle-class country==

Isn't it possible that the reason their middle-class is so large is due in some part on political decisions they've made?

I think it is at least worth exploring before we jump to the ethnic breakdown of the country. Political choices are something we can change relatively quickly compared to demographics. The US has a higher GDP per capita than Sweden and Denmark which implies that there is more money to spread around even with a comparatively large immigrant population.
Midlife single parent, so my answers are going to look a lot different than the average HN reader.

I average 40/week. Some weeks I need to surge, rarely I need to work weekends, but my ability to put in long hours is capped by my home situation (and my desire not to be a workaholic).

I wake my kids and get them ready for school each day. Sometimes they need homework help. We eat dinner together every night, and of course I have them all the time so we get to spend time together regardless of whether we want to. :)

I do strength training at the gym 2x/week, before the kids wake up. I run 3x/week, again before they get up.

I am as productive as I am required to be, but often no more productive. Meaning that the demands of life force productivity on me but I don't go crazy with the extracurricular activities.

I do spend time each day thinking about what my most important tasks are, just to make sure I'm making the best use of my time. I don't let other people take over my calendar, but I work for a small company so we're not meeting-heavy anyway.

All things considered, I am doing fine. I am fortunate to have understanding coworkers, good friends, and two really wonderful children.
You can actually get new credit card numbers generated super easy. There are services that will give you a unique credit card number to use at every online retailer to limit your risk of theft.
> After all, key to good sushi and sashimi is in ageing the fish, allowing the enzymes to break down and moisture to evaporate, resulting in a concentrated flavour.

Can someone elaborate / explain? I always thought that the main quality in sushi and sashimi fish is its freshness. The fresher the better, to the point where shops might even keep the fish alive in aquariums.
I work between 5 and 8 hours, four days a week, from my home office, as a remote contractor with flexible hours.

Typically I do Pomodoro and spend the breaks having tea, talking with my partner, etc.

My plan is to take several months off each year.
The Consumer Rights Act in the UK limits claims for refunds for supply of defective goods to 6 years IIRC, so it's not just credit card companies who will reverse a transaction ex post facto.
Raymond Chen always writes the neatest shit.
This seems to have become standard operating procedure in the US, and it really kills peoples' trust of our legislative system. It's saddening to hear that the EU is not immune to it either.
Tiny house retention seems to be fairly poor. Search a bit for "give up tiny house" or something and you'll get a lot of people giving up the lifestyle, and it seems hard to come by people who have been doing it for a long time. Not impossible, because nothing is impossible, but not easy.

It makes journalists swoon, but I don't see it as something that has a lot of future to it. Seems like something that sounds a lot better in people's heads than in reality.

Edit: FWIW, I don't disagree that a lot of people have more house than they may "need" and may benefit from downsizing. (Certainly we've got more "stuff" than we need; my wife and I all but wage a constant war on the "stuff" that seems at times to spontaneously generate from the ether.) But I rather suspect the optimum is not in the 150sqft range for very many people, and indeed, not even particularly near it.
The book says 7% of all internet traffic already uses QUIC (HTTP/3) and Chrome has long implemented Google’s version of it.

But this book isn’t about concerning yourself with using it or implementing it, it’s about understanding what the future holds, how it works, and what roadblocks lie ahead.

The lack of API support in OpenSSL for it’s TLS requirements and poor optimization for heavy UDP traffic loads on Linux et al (they say it doubles CPU vs HTTP/2 for the same traffic) sounds like it’s going to be a major hurdle for widespread adoption any time soon.

The idea that the government should be giving people purpose is the beginning of a dystopian nightmare.

> In Europe, this is very common to overwork

Absolutely not in my experience. And ironically even less so in France. Have worked in Dublin, France, Switserland, and Belgium. The workweeks as a contractor were respectively (38,38,42,40)
Hey. Are you alright?
NOVA's a gorgeous area though, I've done a few relay races through there and I'm always impressed at how nice it is.
Ask HN: Any 20-and-back vets lurking and care to share their memories?
Shared walls often mean you know when your neighbours are in, when they're watching TV, when they argue and what they're arguing about, when the dog is barking or the toddler having a tantrum, and even when they're walking to the other room.

Even insulation benefits can't be relied on as shared walls are often uninsulated and overall insulation in apartment blocks often bare minimum to code rather than adequate.

Last, but not least, I would take a small garden over an apartment without that's twice or three times the size. You're even likely to see neighbours a lot more if you have a garden to potter in, and the dog has somewhere. :)
What’s Better Than 40 GPU-Based Computers? A Computer with 40 GPUs
From the article: President Trump promised the typical American household a $4,000 pay raise as he pushed for his tax giveaway to the rich. The reality, however, is that from December 2017 to December 2018, real wages for average workers have gone up by just $9.11 a week.

While I agree with Schumer and Sander's viewpoint, I think it's a little disingenuous to compare a per year value to a per week value.
Yes, but I can believe people not seeing it being applied. A lot of people don't like it for whatever reason. Only ignoring it seems to create (or worsen) the problem in the first place
I've used a lot of both. Excel is much better for most tasks where you have < 1mil rows of data. Its easier to look at the data, easier for novices and fast enough. Just being able to scroll through the data is very valuable just to get a feel for it. The biggest drawback is VBA, if you could write excel macros in Python it would be a hit.

If you have more data, Notebooks can handle that better. However I've noticed lots of colleagues skipping notebooks and using IDEs instead. Much easier to work with and better for scm. I'm not a huge fan of notebooks any more.
So while I'm not exactly user of Lazarus other developer on our humble open source project uses it for our map editor. Screenshots might look dated and ugly, but it's much closer to being working solution for cross-platform desktop applications than many would imagine it to be.

Pros: super easy to serialize data, compilation is fast, easy to avoid crashes.

Cons: version packaged in Debian is far from perfect, some UI bindings are not very stable on macOS for instance.
"Serverless" isn't a misnomer. It's the movement of management of everything below some API and/or Runtime to outside of your organization.

A technology can enable a serverless culture within an organization, but that doesn't mean every deployment of a so-called "serverless" technology is actually serverless. If I write a lambda function, but then my ops team deploys it on a piece of metal running in their closet, its not serverless. Inversely, I can write a traditional stateful NodeJS app and give it to Heroku, and it becomes Serverless.

In that sense, Serverless isn't really a quality of the technology, though certain technologies are optimized to be serverless. Its a quality of how its deployed, and more importantly your organizational culture around that. Of course, technologists hate this definition because we can't just call whatever we want Serverless. Moreover, Serverless starts seeming a lot less like the desired end-state we should aim for; often it makes sense to manage your own servers, just like it sometimes makes sense to manage your own hardware.

OpenFaaS can totally be serverless. But to qualify, we'd have to be talking about an underlying Kubernetes infrastructure that abstracts the metal and OS away, so something like Fargate or Azure Containers. Certainly not on DigitalOcean. Here's the signal: If I can SSH into something within the stack, it's not Serverless.
As an individual I am hardly responsible for others doing badly.
Sounds like the reason it went away in the first place wasn't because of concerns of the public, but because Germany and France couldn't agree on the details about who is affected. Given the new proposal, it seems like booth parties might have thought the other's proposal wasn't wide enough.
I think so. I'm very happy with my return rate percentage.

My video courses (tech courses on programming / ops) are a one time purchase and I offer a 1 year money back return policy, no strings attached. The only reason I even put a time limit on it is because without putting one, then it's not clear on how returns work or would require too many words to describe a lifetime return policy.

I'm a developer myself and having a 30 day return policy for information seems like a high pressure bullshit tactic. People live busy lives and trying to force someone into watching a 10 hour course RIGHT NOW otherwise they can't get a refund later on feels dirty.

In other words, I optimize for the happy path. I want to focus on making the experience as good as it can be for people who are interested in learning whatever topic they signed up for and aren't the type of person who will buy it, consume it and then return it.

The dishonest person who will buy your stuff, consume it, and then ask for a refund will do that with a 5 day, 30 day or 365 day return policy. That's just the type of person they are.
To be fair, we were the ones that selectively bred fruits (and vegetables!) to be so sugar-rich that zoos can't even feed them to some of their animals that traditionally only eat fruit.

If this guy is correct, this would be no different than if we found some other toxic substance in our fruit. The point is that it's toxic and it's bad for us, and decisions would need to be made to account for that.

>but let people make their own decisions about what they put in their bodies.

Again, if this guy is correct, how would this be any different than tobacco? We don't let young people decide to put tobacco or booze in their bodies because science has shown they're not old enough to make that decision well.
Stop doing side projects. You're doing work, but not getting paid. If your job is also your hobby, your life is going to get depressingly homogeneous. Take a hike or play with your kids instead.
Hey, javascript is fundamental to web today, unlike 20 years ago. Even if a site like this definitely wouldn't need javascript since it's so simple, there really isn't much of a trade-of since less than one percent of all visitors are likely to have javascript disabled.
yes there's somewhat of a push for hot girls to have vsco links in their bio but for the most part that trend has died
There's a fine line of course. Just like you don't want to be the guy working 20+ hours of free labor every week, you also don't want to be the guy who is out the door at 5:00:01 every evening and not a second before or after.

I think most people in most jobs will have something come up where they do a little extra, if only to help out a team member or something.
If I didn't get paid I would still be writing code, and a good deal more complicated, but I probably wouldn't care to make the output something users needed.

As for reducing the incentives, that is already done quite heavily: the US income tax about 1/3. With that you should be able to create a very effective safety line, it is not the successfuls fault it is pissed away on political corruption and a wasteful war on drugs/minorities.
I agree with all of these points, but also believe this is a reactive response to a culture younger generations can’t afford (as well as overloaded consumerism/materialism).

I know plenty of 25-40 year olds who would love a detached single family home with a two car garage and a yard near their work, but it’s out of their financial grasp, as is other components of “The American Dream”, hence embracing experiences and minimalism over material possessions. You make do when you feel you can’t thrive.
Wouldn’t that make the session key show up in log files on the server and on any network infrastructure between the server and the client?
30 days of vacation and I work only from 9 to 6, sometimes a little bit more, but not so much. Not really counted as overtime. Europe, ofc.

I go to gym and try to enjoy the summer as much as I can.

Productivity tips: organize your life and move to a decent country with a decent culture. American work culture is terrible, so is Asia. You can make 10 trillions of dollars, but there is no way you can buy the 30 seconds that it took me to write that answer. I think those bad ideas are contagious so if you live in America, it is very unlikely that you will be able to balance well your life as everything there is about consumerism and it will eventually get you, maybe more in the country side that might be possible, but I can't see that happening in a big city. Live a simple life.

Once you are dead, it is over, so enjoy your time.
I’m passionate about doomed IT projects
Right, but why would you need to? You said you were more comfortable in bash, so why not just do it in bash? Or Make?

#!/usr/bin/bash

set -e

git push origin master
rsync -crz \
--exclude-from='rsync-exclude.txt' \
--delete _site/ \
cfinazzo1@chrisfinazzo.com:/home/cfinazzo1/chrisfinazzo.com

Stick that in a file called `deploy`, run `chmod +x deploy`, and then you can invoke it with `./deploy`.

Make would be something similar. In fact your entire Gulpfile in Make would look like this:

.PHONY: doctor build serve deploy

doctor:
bundle exec jekyll doctor

build: doctor
time bundle exec jekyll build --incremental

serve: doctor
time bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental

deploy:
git push origin master
rsync -crz \
--exclude-from='rsync-exclude.txt' \
--delete _site/ cfinazzo1@chrisfinazzo.com:/home/cfinazzo1/chrisfinazzo.com
> “I hope we’ll see A.I. tools become a productivity tool in the practice of reporting and finding clues,” said Hilary Mason, the general manager for machine learning at Cloudera, a data management software company. “When you do data analysis, you can see anomalies and patterns using A.I. And a human journalist is the right person to understand and figure out.”

While there's been a lot of great stuff happening on the front of machine-generated news for a while now, data analysis is definitely another great target, with perhaps some more immediate gains, when it comes to AI / general automation in journalism.

I don't know if its necessary to lower your standard of living by downsizing (tiny homes). Careful planning and compromise can seriously cut down on the interior space you need. A nomadic lifestyle (van life), while unconventional today, satisfies a different set of priorities and while most people in the US would see it as a reduction in their standard of living some people actually find it liberating and exciting.

From my own point of view I would love to build a tiny house on a large plot of forested land after my children are raised and on their own (not before), perhaps with a travel van for the summers.
It depends a lot on the company's culture.

I've never been in a company in France where working 40 hours (actually 35, 37.5 or 39 hours depending on contract and company size) was considered underperforming, for example. I've had two bosses who used to actually force some people to leave the office after 6pm or so (office time was 9-12/13-18) though I've never been one to stay longer than necessary myself.

In Canada however, I was expected to stay late in the evenings but that's just one company so I can't say it is representative of the whole country.
This is an awesome explanation, thanks for sharing! I remember struggling mightily in college to understand Floating Point, and my professor never offered anything other than the mathematical formula explanation. That never really helped me understand how the computer is actually dealing with these numbers, but this step-by-step explanation really clicked.

Perhaps unrelated - is there anywhere a repository of fictional worlds that creators can use for their projects at cost of free of charge?

This would be great for many industries - computer game development, board game development, movie creators, writers, etc. :)
Id be really interested in your technical approach to this. How did you implement this in a high level?
This question seems to me like it is naturally self selective to those who have healthy work-life balances. I'd like to hear a couple from the 10-15 hour day workers.
i think he compared "poorly mastered CDs" to LPs and that's fair
Multiply by 52. That makes it $4000 compared to $474.
>but I don't think I could work in e.g. finance because I like technology and developing new stuff.

Right, most people don't want to work in finance. They do so because of the money. And generally financial CEOs/CFOs are smart enough to only pay workers what they have to. So the incentives are probably priced appropriately.

"Innovation" always takes a ton of muck work that has very little glory. I work at a chip company. For every engineer doing cutting edge work, you have 10 people doing very unsexy support tasks that are 100% necessary. These are roles people do because they pay well, not because they are interesting.

I'm a 29 year old freelancer / digital nomad, been traveling and doing high-profile tech contracts for last 5 years. I go with the flow. It really depends on the contract and what's currently going on in my life, or where I am.

Last summer I was in Europe and I've been working 10-12h per day in August (my peak month so far). June-November approx 4-6 hours a day.

Now I'm in Koh Phangan, Thailand and work few hours a month, but fully focusing on healthy lifestyle and training/meditation.

In April I go back to Europe and plan is to grind hard for the next few years. I work in bursts. My routine when I work full-time is having breakfast at my place or a coffee shop and working from there in the morning, hitting the gym around noon, then more work at home/another coffee shop, and unwind during the evening.

There are exceptions to this, if I don't feel productive in the afternoons, I postpone work for evening. I again tend to feel the "flow" of my mental productivity and organize around that. Never had any strict rules and it's been working pretty fine so far.
Maybe if the "favored class" Americans took the bus or went to the laundromat like I did for years they'd want poor people to do well too.

You're making two assumptions: (1) There's a favored class, and (2) The favored class does not want poor people to do well. Both assumptions are wrong.
These pressures would work in favor of small housing spaces, not against them. 3 small houses would in fact be worth quite a bit more than 1 house that's 3 times as large, especially in high-cost-of-living areas.
Just like HackerNews comments.

Somewhat seriously, I know someone out there is posting AI generated HN comments and testing it here. With the proper timing/rates/etc... it wouldn't be hard to avoid easy detection. I don't have specific accounts in mind, but I have a hard time believing no-one is trying it out (given the overlap of HN with AI enthusiasts).

So the real question is: can anyone detect the AI comments?

Trust me, I don't work 3x harder than most of the people I make 3x of. My wife is a teacher and I am in tech, I make 3x her salary. She works way more and spends more of both her physical and emotional labor on her job. I work hard and I do good work, but what she does is not even in the same stratosphere as what I do. I'm not innovating anything, I'm just writing decent code. She's finding new ways to help kids learn. Which sounds more demoralizing?
It's worth asking whether "thousands of articles on company earnings reports each quarter" constitutes journalism.
So smart to not advertise it and instead just reveal it to customers you knew had a lower risk!
Assigning random identifiers for things. Benefit being that this can provide additional layer of security since somebody can’t just guess the ids for things he is not supposed to access.

Thing for example getDocById.php?id=...

Of course it does not have to be UUID, but this can have some benefits as you DB for example may have a nice datatype for it.
I work 8 hours per day, study for an hour, work out for 30 minutes to an hour, and spend the rest with my wife or doing whatever.
No, the OP details that the German proposal was to exclude small businesses (<X million per year and <50 employees) but the french wanted the article 13 to hit everyone equally.
You make rules based on behaviour, call the police and if eventually he can't pay his fines, confiscates his house?
I wonder about how you calculate this.

I make 125k/yr, cost of living is less than 40k/yr(this admittedly includes my gigantic house, prior we were living on 19k/yr)

The whole 'vacation' thing doesn't impact me. I just take time off.

I see people say similar things about health insurance and 'benefits'. The moment you quantify how expensive(or rather, how cheap) benefits are, is the moment you start chasing higher pay.
Is the incidence of suicide lower among regular ketamine users?
Like most such proposals, there's very little chance of anything happening. Still, it would amount to a $15/hr minimum wage for companies that are doing well and want to return value to shareholders (unless doing so via dividends would be more efficient). Alternately, companies could just sit on the profits until a friendlier administration came into power.

Why not just pass a $15 minimum wage if that's the policy goal? Asking this question as a Democrat. This seems like an unnecessarily complicated way to achieve the outcome.
