One of the initiatives to come out of this is to try to raise awareness, and tool availability, for doing just this.

Though local control of your own data, plus reliable and secure off-site replication, helps a lot.

I'm strongly partial to git-based publishing tools -- SSGs and markdown hosted on the site of my choice, though GitLab and GitHub are both convenient options.

The fact that everything is in Git makes rehoming vastly simpler. And I've been bit a few times too many by service shutdowns, with about three consequential projects still in process (the earliest, Readability's shutdown, is over 2 years ago, and I'm still digging out).
I really like the fly analogy - eating flies is disgusting, but will make do if nothing else works.

Also, why can't you have a $100mil business selling a service to 10 million users for $10/year?
Countries with no capital gains taxes (on account of capital, not income): New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Switzerland. There's others, of course.
If that's the case, why do only 28% of working men opt-in for that benefit?

Also, it's pretty wild that you are effectively entitled by law to a 25% increase in salary if you have a child under 9.
Sure. But the way yoklov wrote it, I thought he meant that Python is objectively bad for this use case, which you cant know without knowing the language.
Any real implementation of Distributism would require a strong state and police force to enforce it and in practice would look identical to socialism.
I wonder what annoys the Discourse team more: actual problems with Ruby, or discussions of how much better language X would have been compared to Ruby. I think Sam made a goode point on this sub-thread; the maturity and overall health of a project are more important than what language it uses.

(Disclosure: I did a few small contributions to Discourse a few months ago, but never got more deeply involved than that.)
> I’d wager 90% of working developers with a CS degree also could not pass a test in some random mathematical topic they studied X years ago in college either.

I wouldn't, either. But I've discovered that if I go about relearning it, it comes back very quickly. Having learned it before, I also recognize when I need to go relearn it, and what I need to know.

It's a lot better position to be in than having no idea how to go about figuring out how to solve the problem.
Specialty libraries do get curated by librarians who are at least versed in the subject matter.
Not sure about general ones, probably too. That's the difference between archives and libraries.
I see this sentiment often, but I don't quite understand. Inflation has been at <2% for a while, so how is a 5% raise cost of living? It's actually big.

I'm in NYC and our trouble with the subway have highlighted that MTA workers get a standard 6% raise each year as cost of living. But, it's way more than that, and it's actually a salary doubling every 11 years or so, which is not at all in line with overall wage growth - it's huge.

Sure, in tech you can jump jobs every 3 years for 20% jumps (until you're 40), but that also isn't reflective of normality and definitely front-loads early career experiences.
What about hunting hunters?

Part of this is no national chains are on MacOS (Walmart, Kroger & ilk are on Suse w/SuperPOS Ace, Costco just switched to Windows using an oddball NCR product), and few megacorps have gotten big on MacOS in a way where they develop IT talent that deeply understands MacOS. Thus, the pool of talent is extremely small, and the ability to self teach (closed source software and all) is really limited.
As far as I know, Tesla's FSD feature set is level 2, which no manufacturer needs to report to the CA DMV.
MRI manufacturers want to develop products that bring on new functionality and ability to justify their prices. A brand new 1.5T scanner easily costs several MIL to make, and for a clinic to purchase one will have to fulfill a business case to justify the purchase. For the clinics, acquiring new service lines (such as adding cardiac) is one such way to do so even in a more value based care setting.
There's some competing priorities. If you move, chances are you're leaving the job, which you might like, and the job market (yes, other markets exist, but they're not the same). That may mean missing out on future vesting.

If you're vesting non-quals or RSUs after the IPO, California is going to tax you on some portion of it anyway, so that makes it harder to stick it to the (California) man.

It takes time to make a move, if you haven't already thought about moving to places that happen to be tax free.

At the same time, diversifying sooner is definitely worth paying CA tax for. I'd rather pay 13% (or whatever) or $$$$ than 0% of $$$.

Anyway, the right thing to do tax wise is somehow get your shares into a roth account while they're not worth much... Then we they become worth a lot, you can diversify without a tax penalty, and you can setup a 'substantiallly equal periodic payment' plan to access the earnings.

We don't know how much chimpanzees resemble our common ancestor, but we do know that H. sap. resembles it very little.

The most rational estimate would be that it was quite a lot like the chimpanzee today -- same environment, same brain size, same diet. So it cannot be far off the mark to suggest we evolved from something remarkably chimpanzee-like.

Is it really such a big deal? It's not like they're _introducing_ regnal eras, it's just a new era name for the system they were already using.

BTW, both this comment and the article hint at a connection with right-wing nationalism. I won't claim to understand Japanese politics, but AFAIK Abe's government is increasing immigration to Japan to far higher levels than ever before. Surely that's going to have a far bigger impact on Americanizing Japan than retiring era names ever could, isn't it?

For unaccredited online programs, I think both of those options are far too expensive.

I've jumped from Debian 7 to Debian 9 without issue, and the Gnome Software Center makes installing apps a point and click process (reminds me of Click N Run from Linspire...).

There are notable fit and finish issues with other distros, but from what I've seen the Debian package maintainers consistently make decisions to protect the package archive from breakage, whether that be holding back a FreeCiv point release over a buggy UI element, or stripping out non-free parts of Chromium that upstream bundles.
It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. For example, just augmenting interstate highways to enable reliable autonomous driving would be a complete game changer for commerce, let alone personal use.

Let the driver drive the car manually for the last mile of travel. Most of the problems of autonomous driving are on the last mile (pedestrians, unmarked roads, poor lighting, school crossings, train crossings, etc.). The last mile is the most expensive to outfit and maintain, too.

I wouldn't be disappointed at all to find that in the future, cars drive by themselves 80% of the time, and humans take over for the tricky 20%. If the roadway isn't autonomous-ready the car shouldn't become a brick. You just drive it manually.
So you recommend carrying a Phone, Camera, GPS device, music player, laptop, barometer, torch etc. instead of one Phone as long as all o/p in text.
... and this friends is how you inadvertently start a revolution. you snuff those nodes, though nodes notice and go to the public about it via other channels. the resentment builds. revolution ensues.

There is fake news and then there is fake news. Absolutely fake news is easy to identify and snuff out. What's harder to snuff out is a religion or an ideology, fake news that people believe because they are convinced that it's in their best interest to believe it to be true -- i.e. Communism will free us all. When those interests converge then as a government you have problems that are difficult to solve and trying to engineer the network can easily backfire and lead to revolution.

The point is never to get to that point, not try to engineer the situation at the end.

The Ethiopian captain had extensive experience. Also, the captains were fighting the trim in both cases until they handed off to a junior pilot to try to figure out why the plane was doing what it was while not presenting as a classic trim runaway.

I'll concede they should have communicated better at the hand off, but let's not pretend this was a textbook case of trim runaway. They were "behind the plane" since MCAS wasn't documented in any training material.
When you say atomic communities, do you mean something like echo chambers? Yeah, it happens. It's OK for it to happen to some degree - there needs to be some amount of shared common understanding between participants to have a useful discussion [0].

But if common ground is only thing that's left, you have an echo chamber. How to dial this in? I have no idea. HN seems to do this better than most, although some topics fare better than others.

If you run Linux on vanilla Intel ultrabook or Intel desktop/server hardware, it is not only blazing fast, but all the hardware works out of the box, too.

I wrote about this in the context of Lenovo X1C laptop here:

http://amontalenti.com/2017/09/01/lenovo-linux

I also recently built a Linux desktop from ~$950 of commodity parts (including a pair of free GPUs a crypto friend donated to me after his startup died). I use it as a devserver and a GPU rig for playing with CUDA, PyTorch, and TensorFlow.

Aside from the requirement of proprietary Nvidia drivers, this whole box works perfectly in Linux too, is blazing fast, and operates silently and with low power consumption. (The case itself is bulky, but it’s stationary.) I think an equivalent Mac would cost a 2-3x multiple and run less well for developer workloads.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/amontalenti/saved/r4rLJx

Say what you will about Linux, but if you choose your hardware carefully, it truly does “just work” these days. And you can’t beat having access to scriptable everything and source code everywhere. That said, I keep a Mac Mini around because there is some proprietary stuff you can’t avoid in the Apple ecosystem (e.g. XCode for iOS, Safari Debugger, Keynote/Pages, ...)

interesting and tbh completely understandable.

They would have been better off setting up a "no/low" interest loan system and building a supply line that caters to it.
They did. It was that animated franchises came to dominate the scene. Then WB bought them, used them for a while and finally shuttered them.

But... the ultimate reason does seem to be simply: there was a lot more competition.

I thought it was a great post. #7 in particular is excellent advice, which too few people practice.
Someone who makes pinwheel trinkets sold in a dollar store simply doesn't deserve the same compensation as, say, a skilled machinist. That's not my personal prejudice: the free market for the labor end products themselves decides that by pricing them differently.

When some workers with different skills are paid the same under the umbrella of an organization, it's shielding them from these market effects.

This concept simply cannot scale to an entire economy.
I'll believe it if I see it at RSNA 2019.
Generally rack based equipment is designed with less vertical height and strict front to back airflow. They are also often designed for relatively high input temperatures, so they are designed for high airflow rates. These combine to be very loud and often crazy inefficient. Read that as consuming significant power to cool the equipment.

Mini/Mid/Full tower cases generally are designed to take advantage of heat wanting to raise. So the intakes are often large and low (140mm is not unusual), and the top rear for the exhaust. Even 200mm isn't unusual for the exhaust. Air moving efficient increases quickly with fan size. 1U fans often move at 15k rpm and make more noise and vibration than anything else. Desktop fans are often 1200 rpm or lower and just take a few watts to dump substantial heat.

As an example the Fractal Design Mini C (a small, quiet, under $100 case) has room for 2 x 140mm in the lower front, and 2 x 140mm on top. It's a smaller case, so there's only 120mm in the rear. With $80 ish for the case and a few extra fans (Fractal design isn't bad, but not quite class leading) you can easily dump a few 100 watts quietly.

Find a rack mount case that can move as much air as quietly is challenging and when possible often prohibitively expensive and/or crazy loud. Last time I build one to house a single socket motherboard and a GPU (much like a desktop) it included 4 delta fans that I needed ear protection on to be in the same room.
I like the analogy of the internet. In order to have the internet, we have packet switching, retransmissions, flow control with exponential backoff, distributed spanning tree algorithms, etc. If we accept what the AI proponents say, the internet is a jumbled mess of conflicting hand-crafted rules that has no chance of ever working. And yet here we are on the internet, and we don't even need a Go or chess solver running in each router.
Not sure that's true. In most of the country/world local employer don't have salaries in a publicly available database.

And there may not be enough of a tech scene in a city or region to bootstrap such a database easily.(assuming we're concerned specifically with tech/software salaries)
Well maybe. Maybe someone with a stronger literary background than me could make the argument that providing traductions of english words is just a plus to ensure the completion of the french language and not really an important part of the language evolution. But I just wanted to explain that french people do not feel like the way they speak and write is dictated by the academie.And surely their appreciation of the french language has very little to do with the yellow vests protests.
New Zealand would be great, but I heard that there are some separate rules for foreign shares. Or is that only for dividends? I need to learn more about that. I saw on this Quora answer [1] that I would need to pay tax on an assumed 5% dividend each year. So if I was holding $5M in shares, then I'd have to pay tax on an assumed dividend income of $250K. But I think there are also exceptions for startups that haven't gone public yet.

Are you available for a consultation?

Google+ is shutting down on April 2.

There's a bunch of folks who are interested in preserving content from the site. Some personally/individually, a whole host of communities, and, well, because their mission is to preserve the world's data, the Internet Archive and an unaffiliated though closely-working group, the Archive Team: https://archiveteam.org

That's a bunch of volunteers who basically suck the guts out of failing websites, and they've got some big ambitions.

I'm from the Google+ user community side and have been helping organise information and activity on behalf of others. There's a pretty comprehensive (and messy) wiki at https://social.antefriguserat.de with FAQs and directories and guidance and a whole bunch of other stuff, plus other resources -- G+ communities, subreddits, and more.

We (the G+ community side) stumbled across Archive Team this past January and were delighted to discover they existed. (They've told us they're also glad they exist.) And we've been working together to coordinate this pull, with AT providing the technical capabilities -- code, servers, bandwidth, and storage -- and us mostly pestering them with questions but also knowing a good bit about the characteristics of Google+ data and some of its organisation. (I've made a hobby of ... measuring much of that.) I was finally able to answer my mother's persistent question "but who cares about any of this" with "arkiver, of the Archive Team".

Anyway: the Archive Team grab is in full swing, we've got about 24-48 hours left, depending on when Google shut shit down, and all of a sudden all the archiving agents ("Warriors") stop collecting data. We're 86% through the working set, and are on track to complete 92% of all scheduled data requests by the earliest anticipated shutdown window. (Earlier estimates, before the throttling, were over 100% completion, meaning we had some slack space.)

Answer your question?
oh ok, I missed that line ;)

this is like 'tr' in syntax and simplicity, instead of character change, you have character-sequence change and regex has more features than sed

grep already has equivalent ripgrep implemented in Rust, I think soon we will have holy trinity grep/sed/awk equivalents in Rust

Actually looking through Lambda school’s curriculum...besides the networking section the rest is comparable to the curriculum covered in a shorter bootcamp.

Again, I probably agree with the hypothesis that the best grads of a short bootcamp probably had the skills to get good jobs regardless of attending or not...probably starting with some informal experience and the bootcamp took them from a 3-4 to a 7, or enough to get a pretty decent job.
Or maybe it didn’t go well enough, and that’s the reason for a second attempt. You can’t say either way which is what makes the question worth asking and a potential answer extremely interesting. Though an actual answer, not just a deference to speculation.

You are correct, and it's kind of insane to me how much of a "baseline" there is to what "tolerable temperatures" feel like. You start to notice this a lot living in a place with radical temperature swings. If gets up to 35F in February, I can wear a T-shirt. When it first drops to 45F in October, it feels like the arctic.

What should I learn other than programming language, framework?
I have some free time after work and on weekends, nothing else to do. I want to learn something other than programming language or a new JS framework. I already know node, react, socket.io, redis, vue.js, angular, laravel and php. I want to learn some thing related to computer vision and machine learning but I have not good understanding of math behind ML and computer vision so I am really stuck here.
I think that the way we handle localised pain vs general pain (and in particular heat and cold) has a lot more to do with how we grew up.

If you spent a lot of time in the outdoors/elements as a kid, you're going to be a lot better at handling adverse environmental conditions.

I spent my childhood wearing shorts and sandals to school, even when it was literally freezing outside (never really got much below freezing though). I also think that 15 C is comfortable inside temperature because half the houses in New Zealand don't have good insulation and heating, if any. I also never need sunglasses; I never wore them as a kid because I wore prescription glasses instead.

I handle direct pain fairly well too, because I grew up with two older brothers, one of whom enjoyed hitting me to the point that in retrospect I'd classify it as sibling abuse. I also spent a lot of my adolescence and university years doing physical work in kitchens and on building sites. Injuries such as burns, bruises, and cuts don't really bother me. Loud noises don't bother me either, from a combination of power tools, using firearms without adequate protection, and spending too long in front of large speakers in nightclubs and at festivals.

People who haven't grown up handling particular discomforts and conditions will be less willing and/or capable of handling them as an adult.
Regarding the cold, that has to do with the nature that females tend to have less muscle mass than males. Bodymass produces heat.
Thank you. This seems like a very probable explanation.
