As a counterpoint to this, which I find almost offensively fixated on the parts of it that post well on social media, you really can have a good time doing this without spending months and 10's of thousands of dollars getting ready. (OK, so there are certain forces involved if you want to support a blog, as this person is doing...)

- Buy an older van (or in my case a crew cab pickup with a camper shell).

- Add some storage space and a bed. This can be as simple as a few plastic storage containers and a foam mattress.

- Add an inverter, a marine battery, and if you really want to get fancy a relay to disconnect it from the main system when the vehicle isn't running. No solar panels needed, just let the alternator charge it.

That's it. Spend the rest of the time figuring out how to live with your self without social media.

There are a lot of things you can do to simplify your life, if you don't have to bring your first world standards with you:
- Don't use any electronics that need constant power. Don't buy stuff that needs to be refrigerated, but do get fresh fruit and vegetables if you can eat them within a few days of buying.

- Piss in a bottle and figure out how to be near enough to either a bathroom or real wilderness for other situations. It's not that hard with a little planning.

- Shower less often, mostly in campgrounds. You will stink more, but get over yourself.

- Bring a lot of books/ebooks or something interesting to study.

- Walmart parking lots are great places to park and sleep if you are en-route somewhere and just need some rest. They usually allow overnight parking and won't bother you (local ordinances can sometimes cause exceptions).

- Learn how to brush your teeth and wash dishes without using lots of soap and water. You can actually clean and rinse a dirty pan with about a cup of water and a tiny drop of soap.

The western US is great for this since huge areas of the desert states are easy to move around in without much planning or permits.

Don't spend lots of time driving. Get somewhere and actually experience it. Don't plan too hard. Find some stuff you think would be interesting, get to good areas, then relax and explore. Schedules are only opportunities for disappointment and stress. Try spending a whole week without even taking pictures. Learn what is fun for you, not what you think makes your life look interesting.
Is peer pressure to use a standing desk a common thing? I’ve worked with plenty of people who use standing desks some or all of the time, and I’ve had enthusiasts casually recommend I give it a try sometime, but I can’t imagine any genuine pressure to do so. All the standing desks at offices I’ve been at are adjustable, so even if they’re the standard issue desk there is a big problem if people are pressured to stand.
No the OP is correct. The 1968 amnesty was very broad. Even felons were allowed to keep their guns.

Just today read an article on The Social Network being nearly 10 years old now. Of course it's a Sorkin script (with the commentary that's to be expected), but the article mentions how much more sleazy Facebook is perceived today than it was even at that time. How much different would the script be in the light of what we know now? Can't find the link

I like Sorkin's work and even tend to agree with his points, he just gets a bit self-righteous and preachy in some of it.
No, because if you split it into two pieces, common utility functions will be called from both pieces, at which point you have to duplicate them.

Splitting probably makes sense only for an infrequently used feature, like video chat in an app like Gmail or Slack.

Not at all. Then you misunderstand the tone and how I write.

What I was trying to show was that even professionals can even live in trailers. It is nothing to be ashamed of. And in some ways, actually provides more mobility than having a house does.

The problem is that many still think that someone who lives in one is trailer trash. Yet, I see many of the same people swooning about tiny houses, and pumping upwards of 150k into one. And those are "ergonomic", "classy", "eco chic" - and they're a fraction of the size of a trailer.

But trailer's are "bad".
People love cross-platform because the half-life of app programming knowledge is something like 4 months.

If you take your toes out of app programming for even a year, you're almost completely lost when you come back.

Cross platform means that you don't have to climb two learning curves simultaneously.

While I do agree with your argument to a point, it breaks down because the internet is a mountain of crap, and while attention is a limited resource, the crap is limitless.

You say you use AI to generate mundane articles. Well, your mundane AI article about baseball and 10,000 other AI generated articles are competing with quality content written by real people.

There are people who are passionate about baseball, who went went out to watch that baseball game and write about the passion behind every play and every ball. Possibly interviewing the crowd and the players.

Your AI is probably learning from those articles and getting better at faking that passion. So much so that in a few years maybe people won't be able to tell the difference.

To be clear, the researchers feel that the results should be taken with caution and the points mentioned in this comment thread are possible hypothesis that are also scientifically untested and such opinions should be interpreted with extreme caution.

The title of the article states the facts, and how the fact came to be has not yet been tested.
You wrote: "The name of the game is to increase and decrease confidence in hypotheses by any legitimate statistical method, not to follow "the" method."

The definition I cited says nothing about the particulars - it just enumerates three essential elements.

What would you propose instead as general principles for a scientific method?

Go to the South Bay or the east Bay, that's where the new generation of Chinese work and live.

SF's China Town doesn't matter much now. Similar to LA's, where most good Chinese restaurants are outside Chinatown.
Author of the patch here. Note that the limits are wire size, not disk size. jQuery, post gzip, is closer to ~30KiB, meaning it fits nicely under the per-file restriction. The total JS limit per-interaction is 500KiB gzipped. Uncompressed, that's often more than 3MiB. That's a whole lotta code!

The per-image limit is currently set at 1MiB (not 200KiB).

Hope that helps.

> Most of a programmers job is staring at a wall of text and trying to concentrate, anything that distracts has a serious impact on productivity.

That is an extreme overgeneralization. For instance, plenty of programming jobs involve a significant amount of time spent on collaboration and communication with designers, other programmers, customers, and stakeholders. That’s perfectly normal, and I would argue that in many cases those are the product development teams that will make the best products.
I would never leave the library room, except for meetings. I can't work when people are talking around me.

> Any overhead is generally considered irrelevant when you’re on a small database. For example, going from 50GB in a table to 75GB is 50% overhead, but easily handled in a time where you just pay for more GB on RDS.

Often disk-space is less the issue, and it's more about whether things can fit in memory or not...
I know where the authentic Chinese food is, but it's a bit of a drive.

In the majority of the US there are no authentic Chinese restaurants, it's the restaurants in those places that I'm talking about.
Stop what? Pointing out the reality of rampant anti-Chinese sentiment on HN?

Even with:

> We moderate HN to mitigate the worst aspects of this, but there's no hope of eliminating it. HN is controlled by its community. All that moderation can do is adjust the margins.

it's still rampant. You mitigate the worst aspect of it but you're still left with a anti-Chinese circle jerk.
Most of the ideas listed in the article seem quite unlikely to me. I very much doubt that the 53k people studying Mandarin have anything to do with it, for instance, or that it makes us "ready to engage mainland China" (lol, what?).

It may be more interesting to compare with other ethnic cuisines. Foreign language names for restaurants have been very common for years, including for other Asian cuisines (e.g. Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean). When you look at it that way, the Chinese restaurant scene actually seems to be a late arrival to this trend.

I think this represents a deliberate break in branding with the previous Chinese restaurant tradition. Maybe it's to signify a difference in cuisine (authentic Chinese vs. American Chinese?). Or an ethnic difference (like the article mentions, more Northern Chinese who speak Mandarin, vs. the old immigrants who spoke Cantonese or Taishanese).

Or perhaps younger restaurateurs actually have a more "American" ear, and now feel that names like "Golden Dragon" sound kind of goofy. In the article, Mr. Huang actually says that he looked at names like "Sauce" or "Hearth" first, which are typical trendy names of the moment for an American restaurant. So, paradoxically, the use of Chinese names may actually be due to the owners being more Americanized.
That sounds like the mindset they must have used when they had the Vegas is family friendly ad campaign. That failed, and the What happens in Vegas campaign took over. I would have a hard time believing concerts, magic shows, celeb chefs generate the same kind of money that the casinos and sports betting brings in. However, if you have something that backs that up, I'd definitely be willing to read it and change my view.

n.b. reading _Finnegans Wake_ out loud is fundamental to the purpose of the book and it's enjoyment as a reader. I find myself laughing regularly and not knowing exactly why; maybe just because of the surrealist nature of the language.

James Joyce actually advised people to read it out loud and there is a nice recording of the man himself reading an exert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8kFqiv8Vww).

It also helps to read it in an Irish or Scottish accent!

side note: patiently waiting for all lorem ipsum to be replaced with random bits of finnegans wake :)

In a system like postgres' current heap you cannot know whether it was committed long ago, without actually looking in that side table (or modifying the page the one time you do, to set a hint bit). You pretty fundamentally need something like the transactionid to do so.

Also, in OLTP workload you often have a set of pretty hotly modified data, where you then actually very commonly access recently modified tuples and thus need to do visibility checks.

There's obviously systems with different visibility architectures (either by reducing the types of concurrency allowed, using page level information about recency of modification + something undo based), but given this post is about postgres, I fail to see what you're arguing about here.

How to Install PureOS on a MacBook Pro
It's impossible to run an organization at zero capital buffer perpetually (see: even Wikimedia likes to have a capital reserve). That's a great way to end up bankrupt. What you're suggesting is well beyond absurd.

When the recession hits how do you plan to buffer the revenue beating you're guaranteed to take? If you had built up a cash reserve, you can absorb some or all of the hit.

Where do you plan to get a large amount of capital to make opportunistic investments in expanding what you do? Debt? If you say debt / loans, that's just admitting the necessity of the capital buffer (which is better derived from profit via operations rather than paying for debt and the associated debt interest).

What's your plan for surviving a recession or industry change or regulatory hit (which can demand immense spending on compliance adjustment) with either near 0% revenue growth or low single digit growth? That's the most common business scenario, not 30% or 50% growth every year.

What if you have the opportunity to hire N talented engineers from a failed competitor. You've got zero or very low revenue growth and hiring these talented people could very plausibly alter your trajectory. It's an opportunity to jump on. Where is your capital for that coming from?

You can apply the exact same capital outlay scenario to equipment investment / upgrade opportunities.

How do you plan to absorb any manner of business disaster?

Profit is inherently necessary so that when inevitable bad things happen, you can afford to absorb them. It's also necessary for opportunistic expansion and investment, when you see an opportunity that requires a sizable upfront capital allocation. One of the biggest differences between organizations that seize on opportunities and those that don't or can't, is having the required capital to act.

“Spark Joy” Sticker
I live in Japan and live a mostly traditional lifestyle (although I work from home, which is super weird). Our furniture consists of: 1 kotatsu (basically a big coffee table with a heater attached to it), an end table that I use as a work desk, another end table that has a printer on it, a stool that I sit on when I work and a very small makeup table (that my wife never uses, but instead houses various junk ;-) ). We sit on the floor on zabuton (cushions) and sleep at night on futons (which are folded up and in the closed during the day). That is literally it.

It's incredible what a difference no furniture makes. It's very hard to entertain non-Japanese people, though... I've got some folding camping chairs in the closet, so it's very "rustic" at those times. It also took me a long time to get flexible enough to sit on the floor all the time! But it's good for your body.

I'm not going to suggest this is a solution for most people :-) I have been surprised at how much I enjoy it, though. I find it very comfortable and it's nice that the rooms are big, open and uncluttered (even though they are very small -- our entire apartment consists of 3 rooms, two of which are about 150 square feet and the other is about 120 square feet (that excludes the bathroom, toilet and entrance, so I guess the entire apartment is about 550 square feet?)

The major problem I have with such a small space is that I need more storage room (especially in the kitchen). I've lived in a house that was just a bit bigger than this (probably on the order of 700 square feet) and it was just perfect for me. Unfortunately, in our small town, there was literally nothing that big available when we were looking so we ended up with this.

When I lived in Canada, I had owned a huge house: something like 3000 square feet, with 3 bathrooms. My kitchen was probably half the size of the apartment I live in now :-). It was full of furniture: I had a sitting room with couches and chairs, a dining room with dining table, cabinets, etc, another living room with more couches and chairs, and 3 furnished bedrooms. I was single at the time and had to invite friends to come and live with me -- it was like living in a mansion. What a lot of work! I never had time to enjoy it.

It's weird how your idea of luxury can change :-) I literally can't even imagine living in that old house any more.
Yup. Patreon is a Series C company. If you take that amount of money, your strategy becomes Grow Or Die.

If they had bootstrapped, they'd be totally sustainable on a hundredth of the revenue.

I get it though. When Patreon started it was not clear whether the model would work AT ALL. It could have easily just eaten Jack Conte's savings and he would've been a 30 year old eating ramen for years and then end up with nothing.

In retrospect the time was right, and YouTube was the perfect ally, and it could've been easily bootstrapped. It would've been hard to know that up front.

Still, $100 Million over 5 years seems like a lot of cash burnt for what they offer. I guess we'll find out where it went when they release their "value services".
It’s a tech vs non tech thing. Everyone in older companies tend to be used to communicating by phone.
> Dynamic linking isn't a problem.

Rust does not have a stable ABI at present, so practical use of dynamic linking would require falling back to some baseline ABI/FFI for everything that crosses shared-object boundaries (such as the C FFI), or lead to a requirement that a shared object must be compiled with the same compiler version and compile options as all of its users. This seems like it would be a severe pitfall.

I found the opposite, that by verbally giving context to feelings it can be a more honest and effective communication. And no, the book does not say you should "only talk about my own perception and feelings" and discourage making direct requests of others in order to ask to cuddle—it merely allows you a helpful framework to communicate feelings around it if communication is difficult. See zestyping's sub-response to a sibling thread.
As an aside, I know primary input methods are not built for foreigners, but it's getting hard to keep all of the input methods in my head. With Japanese at least it's really easy to just do dvorak -> romaji -> [conversion]; but when I have to type russian, I have to switch gears completely, since there is no relation between english and russian keymaps (even in terms of theory of operation, with alternating hands for isolated vowels and consonants). I guess I had to type more Chinese, I guess I could justify it better.
