The article doesn't address the fact that people have been saying this for years. What's changed?
My first customer found me before my showHN post ( publicsonar.com - they needed a geoparsing tool). I'm not entirely sure how they found me, perhaps from a talk I gave on my book scanning project.
I also don't know how the other early customers found out, I'm not doing any marketing (other than conference presentations).
Yeah. When you don't feel close and safe, it's bad, it means there is a problem. It means there is no trust and it is going to slow everybody down, make less intelligent and efficient, and the company is going to lose money.
different problems here - if the production and scale are already well known and understood - there are, arguably only design choices to be made that fit into the existing tooling.

"the new chair model must fit into these production constraints"

"the new software must be written to fit into this system - JVM based, web interface ..."
Can you track trending topics with RSS?

Can you carry on a conversation between content creators and subscribers over RSS?

Can you discover new content by following a RSS social graph?

RSS is better than Twitter in only one aspect and that's the one-to-many subscriber model. And that's the least interesting and least profitable thing that Twitter provides.
Even worse is time keeping based on the combination of Chinese and Japanese zodiacal years which repeat in a 60 year sequence in conjunction with the imperial era. Showa ended up too long so there were duplicates.

Yeah, I hope he asked her what she wanted before forcing her to use that…
Thank you for sharing this. I've been experiencing these exact symptoms for several months now and I've struggled to understand it.

I don't like talking about it at work because I don't want to be seen as damaged/ineffective, but it's really weighing on me these days.
I don't think the point your parent is making hinges on the definition of city. The Tokyo metropolitan area is smaller and more populous than than all of California. One can refer to LA or New York as cities and mean to include their metropolitan areas. Washington, DC is a separate political jurisdiction which is usefully and colloquially referred to as a city as well.
Does such an idea really exist? One that would truly survive this approach?
It's a bit of a Hackernews meme, but just look at the infamous comment about Dropbox (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224).
Oh wow, a Theranos apologist! I can't believe I actually saw one of those in the wild, I'll record it in my logbook.

There's a big difference between "fake it till you make it" and "crime it till you climb it". You can have blind faith in your product, but you can't lie just lie about your business constantly in the hope that maybe one day your lies will be true.

It bothers me to no end when I hear programmers here in Ontario call themselves engineers when they neither graduated from an engineering program nor completed their PEO exam. It's very much illegal, and the PEO _will_ go after companies that allow their employees to title themselves as engineers.
All of these countries didn't independently discover medicine, and they do speak with each other i.e. they share a culture. Why do they all dress the same, why are so many addressed with a title in front of their names, and why do they all seem to refer to a lot of things in Latin?

We can choose to think that they independently arrived at an ideal state, but that's not reasonable.
Yes, that is one of many serious gaps in your reasoning.
I think a reason those 2-3 historical cases are not an eternal motif is that humanity is probably approaching the feasible limit of Type I on the Kardashev scale.[0] We're at the first point in human history where reducing aggregate energy consumption is viewed a serious goal by most (a lot?) of the fully-industrialized world.

Previous technological advances have caused individual output to rise because individual humans were able to harness more energy. A human with a tractor does more work and consumes more energy than a human without a tractor.

Some new technology is letting us do more work with less energy input, but a lot of new technology is just automating the human out of the process and using just as much energy to do the work. One person can supervise multiple CNC mills, but those mills' power draw isn't much different than old manual Bridgeports (hell, they might actually be old manual Bridgeports with a few mods).

I shouldn't post replies when in a hurry (just like now:). I left out some important details: the point was why sometimes people end up loving stuff they spend a lot of money on, to the point they become fanboys even when the item purchased albeit good doesn't deserve that. I'm not bashing Apple, this happens in a lot of contexts, take for example the audiophool world. Are those hundreds €/$ per meter audio cables good? Yes, definitely! So are they worth that price then? Asbolutely not, but people keep shoveling money at them although neither the best instruments in the world nor the best ears could tell the difference when conducting a proper blind test (aka: the famous "coat hangers cable" experiment). This is where psychology plays an important part.
Back to the Airpods, they could give the best audio experience in the world -I trust Apple on this, they for sure know a few things about music- but I'm also someone who doesn't like being forced by marketing to accept excessive compromises. The Airpods batteries aren't replaceable so once they fail (a few years max) one is forced to throw them away. To me it seems a price too high to pay for eliminating the headphone port, which I use and like to have on every device.
I have no doubt Apple users love their Airpods, but it's a fact that those devices are not perfect. If users accept criticism for iPhones with no user replaceable batteries I would expect the same open mindset about the Airpods.

I'm curious what you think about this:

https://qz.com/1269172/the-epic-mistake-about-manufacturing-...

And specifically their point that statistics on high tech are overestimating our industrial output because of certain questionable assumptions:

"The problem is, the processor released in 2017 is superior to that sold in 2016 in many tangible ways. But how do you account for the fact that a 2017 processor provides users with more value? In general, statisticians assume the difference in value between the two models is just the difference in their prices. If, say, the 2017 processor costs twice as much as the 2016 one does, then selling one 2017 processor counts as selling two of the 2016 versions in the statisticians’ books."
I would never work more in the hopes to retire earlier. I've worked different time models between essentially do whatever I want and 42 hour weeks. All of them paid for my living standard (which I would say is rather simple).

Everything above 35 hours feels like I have no time for myself anymore.

I think the main reason why I don't get the 'FIRE' mentality is because in my country we have a healthy pension system I can look forward to.

Yup. The best they can do is reduce the probability of it happening.

As one of many reasons.

This is the current problem that the UK is facing with Brexit.

People have an array of gripes that all landed under the "Brexit" umbrella. The problem is that some of those gripes are in direct opposition to one another, but it didn't matter because "Brexit" was magically going to fix it.

However, now that you have to reduce to implementation, you can't get anybody to agree on the concrete of what "Brexit" should actually encompass.

>I've not heard of many issues with the process apart from things typically hundreds of years ago.

We've had some serious issues recently with pairing. MPs cannot vote in absentia for any reason. The informal process of pairing allows an ill or otherwise unavoidably absent MP to be paired with an opposition MP, who will agree not to vote and so cancel out the absent MP. Brexit has led to a number of broken pairing agreements, which could have seriously undermined the legitimacy of a close vote.

https://theconversation.com/pairing-and-why-it-matters-in-th...

A broader issue is simply the slow pace of voting; a division can take at least 15 minutes, so the vast majority of votes are taken orally in the house without a formal count. There are long-standing concerns about the ability of back-bench MPs to vote with their conscience; MPs physically have to walk past their party whips to enter the lobby, which some argue contributes to a culture of bullying and intimidation.

There is: the author of the article could be cherry picking the data.

TTT the article is pretty convincing to me and its conclusion doesn't surprise me. But I thought rather than be immediately downvoted for criticizing T I could pose a more open-ended statement and see if anyone had a counterexample. Doesn't look like there is one.
It's also a good idea to pick the brains of your junior and mid-level people, you never know when they have some information that might change your plans. If they spend all day working on a single component and you spend all day in meetings, they are virtually guaranteed to know a lot you don't - the only remaining question is whether or not something they know impacts your plans, and the only way to know is to be proactive.

It's easy to get into an uncomfortable situation where a superior gives an order and it falls on a junior to slam the entire team's brakes because something they know was overlooked.
I run a successful business and have been trying to build nextcept for a while now on the side. I think it's just a needed area. Depth over superficial conversations to find solid people to work with.
Twitter is basically Outrage as a Service, it is not a good information platform.

I still miss Google Reader, I think it was a serious mistake to kill it off, and doing so largely killed RSS too.

So yeah maybe not over 400MB/s, but all of them are over 200MB/s. Sequential speeds really spiked as densities kept increasing.
The key to building an idea is getting excited enough about it. Blind faith is counterproductive, as is faith in general.
How to code like a Hacker in the terminal
The full quote:

> Full-disk encryption doesn't protect you against someone with physical access to the machine: the encryption key can be recovered from RAM at runtime (e.g. cold boot attacks), and since the boot time SSH server's key is stored unencrypted, man-in-the-middle attacks can also be carried out to recover the encryption key at boot time. Consider this in your threat model.

So yes, for "Evil mastermind, supervillains level" you gotta embed the RAM, and everything that would give adversaries physical access to the RAM, in alumina-filled epoxy. Or better, alumina-and-fiberglass-filled epoxy. The alumina gives you heat condictivity, and the fiberglass strength. Plus embedded trip wires to nuke the board if they're cut.

It's also prudent to disconnect all ports from the board, except for the NIC, and embed everything that could be used to reconnect them.

With that, it'd be very difficult to get anything from RAM. Attempts at physical access would destroy the system.
Try playing a longer game. Pick your favorite tech and join a local group for it, and meet every time they do. Instead of the discomfort of the phone interview, you'll need to tackle the discomfort of connecting with others -- but just realize everyone's human like you, and ultimately wants to connect just as much as you do. Learn about them, look for common ground. Let them get to know you. Don't connect with a certain person? That's expected -- keep trying.

Come up with a notable side-project next time you are inspired -- but make sure it won't take longer than 1-2wks of effort. It can be a gimmick, so long as it is somewhat notable. A trivial CRUD app, but applied to a novel/fun/interesting domain. You could even look for non-profits needing a tech solution. You want to appeal to someone hiring for a jr position, and who wants to see initiative.

Good consultants -- and even FTE career-oriented devs -- tend to have their work lined up via their network. A network is as simple as casually keeping in contact with old coworkers and then pinging them when you're looking for a new opportunity. In your case, it would just be connecting with other tech folk. Open your surface area to opportunity. This is how you end up knowing about job positions not even posted yet, and end up with inside knowledge on tech that can get you into a job much easier.

Look at 1099 contracting. It's low-risk to the employer because you're easier to drop if it doesn't work out. It pays a bit better for you, in return for that risk. If you're out and looking, you can find opportunities to contract that will never be posted to job boards, because a lead engineer just wants to bring someone on quickly. The biggest risk to people pulling 1099 contractors is that contractor ghosting on them, especially when they work remote -- make one of your big selling points be communication.

This strategy -- networking -- is one that is critical to pick up not just for landing a jr/intermediate job, but for keeping career longevity in an ageism-tinted industry.

It'll be a pain in the ass, but surely better than taking minimum-wage. I think networking-motivated individuals who are still early on the dev journey can do very well.
Chinese people invest in property because they don’t have good experiences with their home financial markets, know-your-customer is a burden, and because it is hard to invest internationally. Everyone else is fine with stocks and bonds and funds and such.

The rest of the world has been asking China to free capital markets for a long time, but there’s not much we can do if the Party doesn’t want to.
As a general reminder, following cargocult privacy advice usually makes your browser easier to fingerprint and can break many sites on the Internet (such as blogs that get posted to HN without https breaking HTTPS Everywhere, or sites whose CSP cannot be patched properly for Decentralize).

Regardless if you think "copyright" increases or decreases quality of life, it is irrefutable that it violates Natural rights.

If I modify that code to pre-initialise an array with the values 0 to N - 1, and then copy the value from that array to a new array (rather than using the loop index), then both map and forEach are faster than the for loop for me.
I think it's a fairly silly comparison overall, but it doesn't help when you judge by technical features rather than what kind of content the ecosystem encourages, which what actually matters.

Twitter is extremely noisy. It tends to overwhelm actual articles that people put some effort into with shallow, witty zingers. If you're not looking for witty zingers, it doesn't really matter what other features it has.

RSS is just a file format, but it enables a larger ecosystem that works better at showcasing good content.

>Look at Theranos, it would have died a quick death like this, but ended up being a hugely successful business right up to the point of collapse.

Your mistake is in conflating "successful business" and "fraud." It was not a successful business until the collapse, it was a successful fraud. In this way, I believe you're promoting a poor ethical standard, one that valorizes crime as long as you get away with it.
Even if your adversary have access to the latest and most sophisticated state-of-the-art tools, and have the budget for having technicians to use them, Mandos still does no harm; i.e. does not reduce security. And Mandos is not meant to defend against this; Mandos is instead meant to get people who are not using encrypted disks to start using encrypted disks, since Mandos fixes the (in my opinion) most annoying problem with using encrypted disks.

You are, in effect, arguing about whether encrypted disks are useful at all, which is a debate I’m really not getting into at this time, since it has nothing to do with Mandos.

That seems like a decent alternative to menus, motivated by exactly the fault with menus I was describing: "Instead of wasting your time searching the menus and toolbars in an attempt find out that action you need right now [...]"

That feature doesn't make menus better. It makes the IDE better, by giving you a way to avoid the menus, because [sigh] menus suck.
This causes me to reflect on history, like when I got chewed out by one of my bosses for running a prank program on his computer that "was erasing his hard drive!"

Also on how I used to respond to misdirected emails to let them know they missed their intended address. Yes, there was a time before spam, although that now seems far-fetched.

Sigh.

It is humbling to realize how naive I was (sometimes still am?).
I would never sit there and try to memorize the API of a language or tool but after you use it long enough, it really really speeds things up drastically if you can recall things mentally instead of having to look it up.

At this point I can sit down and bang out entire Ansible roles (hundreds of lines of YAML) without having to reference the docs or even use auto-complete for 95% of it. It's really a joy when you can just focus on getting what you want down in code and have it work in the end -- without interruption.

I'm with the author here in that I am very jealous of anyone who can memorize things like that without putting in years of practice. It's not just a speed boost, but you feel good about yourself being able to just hack on something for 20 minutes without having to look a single thing up. It takes a LOT of repetition for me to get to that point.
> Also, I hope and intend to work well into my 70s. For that I need to not burn out in my 40s.

Chronic stress sets you up for so many diseases, where burnout is just an early warning sign in comparison. Cancer, heart disease, stroke - you name it, chances are way higher that you get it if you are under chronic stress. Being a freelancer with 2 little kids, I‘ve had my fair share of stress (and burnout), but I‘m doing quite well nowadays. So, here‘s my personal anti-stress toolbox, from most effective to least effective:

- Stoic philosophy. Accept that you have control over nothing (only the chance to influence) and eventually that feeling that you carry the world on your shoulders will disappear.

- Stoic philosophy (just to reiterate how important it is)

- Near infrared radiation - improves mitochondrial function and releases NO (a radical caused by cell stress) from the mitochondria. There are plenty of options, i have a device from redlightman.

- CBD - I vape it regularly. It’s legal where I live, but it’s illegal in some countries and US states. It believe it had a tremendous effect on me, even increased sociability.

- Blue light blocking glasses - Staring at my laptop screen for longer periods stresses me out, and using f.lux all day improves this a lot. But using the blue blockers is something different entirely. Sometimes I put on the glasses in the early afternoon and am more focused and relaxed as a result. Sleep also got much better, sometimes I fall asleep while coding in the evening. Take care to use the really yellow/orange ones, as the only-slightly-tinged ones don’t filter heavily enough.

- Sort out family problems, ASAP. Don’t feel stuck - if you do, just do _something_, even if it’s dumb. Feeling stuck kills you. You need to feel accepted by the people you are close to. You need someone you tell your (supposedly) darkest secrets without them condemning you.

- Find a job or position where your „boss“ values you and your work. For me as a freelancer this means I only work with clients for whom the project is important, or even vital (not just a cost-factor).
