The tried and true approach to starting on your own is to land your first customer by being the cheapest, use that as a reference, and charge serious money once you have a track record that you can point to.

The alternative is to get a normal full-time job for a few years, build credibility, then go on your own using the contacts you made at your employer.
This is just what leaked, they are undoubtedly tracking a lot more people than this.
You have to have a certain mentality to go down this path. Most people don't like messing with things and getting their hands dirty, even it costs them a fortune to replace a device. It's not because they're stupid. They rather think that it's too complicated to try anything and they're afraid they might make things even worse than they already are. Also, quite often they don't have the necessary tools and buying them and learning to use them is a task on its own.

One other thing that strikes me as odd is that most people aren't curious to learn how their everyday devices work. As long as it works it's fine by them. I from the other hand need to know even how the toilette flush works because I find the learning process fascinating.

I guess it all boils down to how curious one is.
...did you not read the contents of your pasted message before hitting send?

I agree this is annoying but I don't think it quite rises to the level of "toxic".
Except you claimed the opposite, saying that the objects of the US military's attention - 'bad guys' - are the enemies of the whole bunch of countries including the EU.
Interesting, I've always been informed that waiting one day is sufficient. But, didn't the backdoor roth get closed in the recent tax change?
I meant it the other way round. The question was not about what happens when the child dies. It was rather how does the parent let the child know that it should terminate. Or that it should eventually terminate, but that it should attempt a clean shut down.
I think my comment to the parent post also applies here. I love to learn things and home repair is no exception. A lot of it is a skill that requires practice, though. Even if I don't end up doing the work (and I try to), at least I'll be less likely to get ripped off.
>It is best if we both recycle and fix the refrigerator.

It might just be marginally better.

If "fixing the refrigerator" (and other such items in our lives, cars, etc) yields 100 e (e = a made-up token measure of environmental benefit) and not using plastic bags for a decade yields 1 e, then it's almost irrelevant.
You could still support such a product with ads. The only difference from Twitter is that corporate/marketing accounts would be forbidden from contacting users unsolicited.
I think you may have inadvertently proven my point. This kind of abstraction is completely unnecessary. You could have added users and installed requirements in a similarly small amount of Dockerfile commands.
I think the point of coldtea's comment is that:

- We're being inconsistent with our criticism, unwilling to apply it as a universal standard

- We're talking about others (Chinese) needing to rebel, blaming this on brainwashing, without adknowledging our own inability and unwillingness to act, without being willing to label this brainwashing

- We're building over the course of increasingly ignorant veiled-criticism posts of foreign cultures a dog-whistle for Chinese racism within our tech culture

- We're narrowly conceptualizing the issues fundamental to these technologies, spending our energy on exasperation that contributes to nationalistic sentiment, rather than addressing the global systemic abuse

- Our "blindspot" of admitting our own state the abuse of information fundamentally carves out, via the course of international law and sovereignty, the justification for other countries to do the exact same

In essence: fixing this kind of thing starts at home in the United States. Sunday morning HN comment anguish over the Uighurs of China is navel gazing.
Why would I use this tool for 1) instead of Make or just throw CMD useradd -m foo into my Dockerfile?
That his friend does a token BS gesture towards being 'environmentally friendly" while participating in the same needless consumerism attitude that's responsible for 99% of the cost on the environment.
Running Kubernetes nodes with kiyot
Ah, I thought execution of the product itself.

However, you have to know you should do certain things to be able to execute them well. A lot of projects I've seen fail were well-made, but had crappy or no marketing.

The reason is that founders were tech guys, and you know how tech guys like to program and not email people :-)
Interesting. Thanks. So an ortho keyboard with trackpad keycaps that span multiple keys. I wonder where they sourced the one-key-wide pads? This might be a relatively painless way to introduce trackpad keycaps into an existing keyboard ecosystem.

Product-wise, they seem to be in a multi-year struggle to get to production.

Web-dev lesson: A video-based ui, emphasizing closeups, where the video visuals stall, but music continues, with a hidden-by-default slider and no spinner, is an unfortunate combination.

The point was that it is difficult to get noticed with down-to-earth work when the whole field seems to be aiming for the stars.
Multiple inheritance is evil :)

Anyway I do think there is more going on here than a mere semantic disagreement about a word. However I dont think it can really be covered in a casual HN post.

I would say I did find that one article quite amusing.
"And Smith is right in that pretty much nowhere has ever managed to limb up out of peasant destitution without the use of a market economy and the associated price system. "

The USSR used central planning (Gosplan) to manage their economy. They were the first space fairing nation on earth. What kind of author is this author to make these claims in direct contradiction to the historical record.
In that case then do not use a UI framework such as Angular or React and instead just roll your own UI with HTML and JS, and style your CSS to make your MVP look fresh and new.
Looking at how the US tries to bully Turkey - a NATO member - into cancelling the S-400 deal with Russia, by saying the US is not going protect it despite the NATO article, you are not as different from Warsaw pact as you claim.
chrome is the new IE6

I've heard this repeated a few times, and it's utter nonsense. Unless you're deliberately going off into the weeds, a full featured SPA works the same on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. I don't even bother testing on multiple platforms anymore; they just work.

I did web development in the IE6 era (and before). This is nothing like that.
It doesn’t take a lot of time though...

The latch for my vacuum clean bin broke. I fished it out (10m), modelled a replacement in FreeCAD (2hr, I had to learn how to use FreeCAD since I’d never used it before), and printed a replacement (40m print time) - and now I don’t have to buy a new vacuum cleaner.
> We will take a zero tolerance approach to anyone using this software for any unethical purposes and will actively discourage any such uses.

Why not change the license to enforce the use restictions?
> But it seems [dolphins] share some worrying vices as well.

It's interesting how the author construes it as a "vice" by the second paragraph. That's a very Anglo-Saxon take on it (i.e. I doubt a Japanese or Brazilian journalist would have interpreted it so harshly from the get go).

In fact, getting inebriated seems pretty common in the animal kingdom, making it not much more of a vice than mating, napping, or eating tasty food:

I'd even argue that seeking to alter your state of mind comes with the territory of well, having a mind. Why else would people like roller coasters, movies, video games, coffee, etc. so much?
I had an analogous issue with a washing machine. One problem is I don't have real estate to open and (try to) fix it.
First off, this is not “the point of React”. Second, direct use of setState is not somehow the only path to focused DOM updates with React. In order to understand this better, I suggest you read up on the topic of Reconciliation in React - https://reactjs.org/docs/reconciliation.html
I grew up on a farm in a communist country.

I still feel my life was much more interesting back then. We were poor but, paradoxically, we ate better than I eat now. The tasks had much more variety to them, there was a lot of interesting stuff happening every day and requiring your attention. There was new thing to be done/fixed all the time and I would never get bored. We would be doing everything for ourselves no matter how unskilled we were in the task, you had to figure it out while you were doing it. There was plenty of variety between seasons and there was plenty of free time to spend with the family.

I like my current job and it pays very well but I feel my daytime consists of only work and entertainment. There is almost no variety to it and during 3-4 weeks of vacation I have annually I feel like I have no idea what to do with the time to truly recharge my batteries.
But not becoase of Rust. To develop in c++/c you need to know what you are doing. The developers like that, are very rare today.

(And now I will get -20 when whole Rust evengalist crew will reign down on me... :D :D :D And people complain about Russians manipulating the elections :D Nothin compared to Rust :D)
The framework for regulation of these sorts of systems will almost certainly come down to “possession of data”.

You can build/host things anywhere, but something centered around “if you generate profits in the USA, and hold the data of Americans, these requirements exist for your system” makes sense. In particular, liability needs to rest somewhere, such that someone gives enough of a shit to do things right.

A civil engineering firm could outsource the design of a bridge anywhere, but in the end, somebody’s neck is on the line if it fails.
Couldn't the same algorithm with different parameters be used to increase cache utilization?
From experience I can tell you helicopter parenting works.

I was raised middle class in a rather upscale suburb by a single mother who had to work. My brothers and I had "way too much free time" to get involved with drugs, alcohol, etc. and I was the only 1 out of 3 brothers who pushed back and pursued academic and business goals (and got my degree).

So fast forward to around year 2000, I have a son whom I decide is NOT going to go this route, I invested a much higher amount of time in him than my peers, strongly encouraged him to participate in science fairs, all forms of aquatic sports, USTA junior tennis competitions and high school tennis, he never said no, but if he did I would likely have coerced him anyway, his mom and I constantly reinforced him how important academics were, his high school was extremely competitive, the most competitive of all public high schools around Austin, TX.

I noticed all the other parents with kids on the tennis team were very similar in this fact, they monitored and were highly involved in their kids lives to try and keep them away from drugs and gang lifestyles - - helicopter parents.

But guess what ? Almost all these kids ended up with high GPA's, going to top universities, almost all graduate with top degrees and job offers.

My son graduated high school with 52 AP hours, graduating this May in Comp. Sci from UT Austin in 3 years time, hi-tech internship 2 summers, was offered and accepted over 6 figures starting salary, $10K signing bonus, $40k stock options before he even started his final semester, yet only has a "B" average in Comp. sci.
2 patents co-filed already not related to Comp. Sci..

Now let those who ignored their kids formative years whose kids are now covered in tattoos and with arrest records, flipping burgers for an occupation sit there and tell me helicopter parenting doesn't work, or is "excessive".
This is definitely true. A common "blueprint" for articles in applied CS is first they propose a "novel" algorithm. This algorithm may be very similar to an existing algorithm and in many cases is identical to one. Then they benchmark the algorithm and shows that it performs better on some metrics than existing solutions. These benchmarks are often quite poor, and if you vary them a little, the purported performance increases vanishes.
The best browser isn't the fastest. It's the one you can trust to serve you and not some corporation or government that wants to control what you see and where you go.
This is a good illustration of American brainwashing.

In the Chinese system, everyone is informed - but is not allowed to question the systems' structure. In the United States, pressure is applied to the adknowlegement of the structure - because the legitimacy of the system is built on the idea that the security enforcement isn't present or necessary.

Reinforcement of the lie plays into American psychological cognitive dissonance because American cultural identity requires feeling "uniquely free" and moral.

Pointing out the facts often converts a person into a willing disbeliever, even a violently impassioned one.
I don't have training to make a formal argument, but this has got to be bullshit.

They take the few people that had some form of heart disease (37 out of 1104 over ten years) and noted that none of them except one could do 40 pushups. By some magic, this is translated into a 96% reduction in chance of a heart attack.

If that's really the reasoning, could I not just pick any metric (i.e. words typed per minute over 120, or IQ over 130) which is likely to eliminate almost all of the participants and conclude that it is reducing risk of heart disease?

Am I missing something? Is this kind of reasoning not complete bogus?
Why does creating a new client side widget require a server call at all? Couldn't you have the widget in a JavaScript template and just clone it on the dom client side?
Like computers, it varied. Neither my parents nor I ever did our own car maintenance to any significant degree up to and including oil changes. And I don't think that's a particular outlier.

OTOH, my dad did a significant amount of major renovation work with the fixer-upper house I grew up in.

A lot of it comes down to choosing how you spend your time and what skills you choose to develop. Because you probably can't do everything yourself.

Steps to Visual Regression Testing
Build cache is supported (https://bit.ly/2S8Z3oi), it's the job of the user to structure his code wisely (same as with docker RUN commands). And: No, it's not "better", it's a different approach. Like most/any other community solution it will not replace the standard Dockerfile process :)
Why have you made ~5-6 comments in this thread, and all about some version of whataboutism?
It's a real shame "Home Economics" education has been inherently linked to outdated gender roles in the public consciousness.

As a guy, it would be nice if a class in high school had forced me to learn to sow. Teach it to people of all genders.
For a scrupulous 'expert', there's more money to be made by selling you a new product. Or if there's likely to be recurring repairs. One way I think, to safeguard against this is to have maintenance contracts. But i know no expert who's williing to take me up on that.
There are a lot of hidden/implicit requirements when people think of SPAs. In order to do them right the interaction design needs to be worked out in detail with the developers so that everyone on the team knows all possible states of the application and how to best manage that.
There is innovation above the api level. And if new api features are being requested by adblockers, who is really innovating?

The way I would put it is that Google becomes the gatekeeper for some low-level adblocker features.
FWIW, there was an "official" project for Ansible to generate container images, but it's constantly in limbo.

While I do think this is reasonable, I have an intuition that you might be trying to do too much in one image, if you feel like you need Ansible. There are good reasons to sometimes have fat-containers. Do you mind sharing what all you're installing with Ansible?
Sorry, I didn't answer the first question you asked. I don't have a guide to link to, but my general guidelines for myself:

Curiosity always, Validation, Market, Team, Mockup, Validation, Market, Sales Commitments, Build Team, MVP, Actual Sales, Iteration.

In the early stage this is what a fledgling startup looks like to me. Curiosity around ideas, always asking questions and this should never stop ever. Validation of ideas once you feel you have found one or more. Validation is done by talking to real human beings who would be the potential target clients, Market is the market opportunity research and the targeting. Team may come right after market or may wait, but either way who are the people you will need to make it happen. Mockup is a simple PDF or wireframe mockup, not even code likely at this point. Validation again on the Mockup and market. Redefine the market and or product. Start getting sales commitments at this point, build out the team and the MVP and move into sales. Then you start iterating on Product and sales.

Of course, this is a gross overview, a ton of little steps go into all this, but for me this is how you start any basic business, regardless if you want to raise money or just be successful. It starts with Idea/Clients, then you start figuring out product. When I used to help startups a lot as my consulting clients this was almost always universally failed. They'd come with a product idea but almost 0 market validation or testing, so who knows what would work. Now, there are some greenfield projects where there just isn't a market because you are defining it, but that is the rarity and generally is started and funded differently IME.
I think all of your requirements could be met in a myriad of ways. E.g. Django templates/Handlebars can be organized as reusable components, many backend frameworks will render HTML per route, and there are several JavaScript client libraries including Vue and, dare I say, jQuery that will give you a sane way to do client interactivity without page refresh with varying degrees of declarative code style.
capitalism is built on greed. it’s like a simple AI with an optimization function for money. the problem is when the govt steps in and aligns incentives such that the greedy/profitable thing to do is to saddle people with debt because its zero risk for the lender
You don’t have to use a single server for your business logic and rendering. Separating those two on the backend will ensure you have a clean api that things like mobile apps can hit, while still having a service that renders html for the server-rendered view of your app.

I reject the accusation of "whataboutism". Let's take those in order.

"Why have I made 5~6 comments in the thread?" It's an interesting topic that I've spent over 5 years researching.

Repair is custom job. Custom jobs are expensive.
If I disagree, shouldn't I be consistent in my disagreement? Silly (or hypocritical/self-serving, ie. "patriotic") inconsistency.
Gotcha, yea, that is a communication failure on my point, my bad. And I agree, most tech people are to focused on what they are building and fail to do all the other steps, which is the failure to execute in my view.
Do you never wonder about stuff like bed bugs when you pick up stuff like suitcases off the street? I feel like I'm overly paranoid about that.
The distinction was clear to me with the first example. A book could teach me how to implement memory caches and addressing (builder) or could teach me the impact of programming against memory caches by controlling my memory addressing.

I like it. It's a valid critique of perspective.
right but if someone like that came to you and asked for 200k in loans you’d laugh in their face. But now instead the govt decided to back student loans and these people got them like candy
How to get started learning code
Hello I have had to change career as I can longer do labour work, and was wondering what is the best way to learn code and what kind of coding should I learn.

I am from London and I am 25, as I am recovering from my injury I have plenty of time to learn.

I want to make the best out of a negative situation.

I would like to learn from home as I won't be able to attend any classes.
Thank you for pointing the real issue with SPAs: they deliver awful user experience. It's quite telling how this fact is missing from the article and from most of the discussion here. We're a bunch of self-referential techies who've lost connection with reality.
Those "reasons" you listed is not factual reasons. Just a claim "from the sky" and you consider it as reason ? Me not.

From the title I was hoping it would be about self-healing and mental health recovery in the face of dysfunctional modern workplace environments like open plan offices.

As with many things (like clothing in the article) we’ve also lost our ability to mentally heal from the damage that repeated exposure to modern workplace cultures inflicts on us.

A strong claim for causality requires a counterfactual scenario: if the stirrup hasn’t been invented, then ___.

I always find these hard to imagine when the cause is a basic technological development. Surely, someone would have eventually invented the stirrup, given ridable horses.

It’s easier to try to imagine a world with no horses, or where they were unsuitable for riding.
"The entire language (core library, interpreter, compiler, assembler) is about 200-300 kB"

That's impressive. [Edit: It's not 200-300kB, closer to twice that in total. I pulled it down and neither source nor build is that small]

Also, minor typo on the page: "The language also bridging bridging"
