Maybe, one more in valid reasons.

- Less politics, and more autonomy (if you are given a certain role).
- The dopamine or kick that comes with solving problems and the joy of getting results fast. Quite a few occasions, I have felt more involved in a startup than a big MNC. Maybe different kind of culture. (Consulting is the worst in case you like to see results for your ideas though)
Trial by fire: Get it on the PICO8: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
This is literally the exact first thing I thought about when I read the article. I think the book gets a bit too ideological, but the prospect of buying a stake in someone's future earnings stuck with me as a pernicious side door into indentured servitude. At the times I shrugged it off as "well, it won't happen" yet here we are 10 years later...
How do you distinguish the two?
what was the solution to the washington monument/lincoln memorial deteriorating? was it just using less harsh cleaning chemicals?
I assume you must be very hard on frames.

I've had the same Nike frames for probably over 10 years now and the previous ones (same brand & style) for about 5 years until I broke them. My prescription changes very slowly, so I've only updated the lens once. But except for that one frame breakage, I actually have every eyeglass frame I've ever purchased since I first got glasses in 1993.

Agree with the recommendation.

Kip has studied black holes all his life — this podcast goes into the work on LIGO that finally got Kip (and collaborators) the Nobel Prize. I found it amusing that there is some “Nobel guilt” for scientists that comes with the prize, because the size of them teams that usually collaborate and make a large project like LIGO happen (over 20 years) is incredibly large.

I also find it inspiring that Kip speaks with so much... love ... about warped space time :)

There is a video that I cannot find where Christopher Nolan describes the process of rendering the black hole for his movie - they used Kip’s equations to render Gargantua and when the first images were seen, he realized that Kip has never actually seen a black hole before - even though he has spent his entire life studying it.
Most plausibly their:

Importantly, Monarch is push-based and centralized. Previously, product teams would have to run their own borgmen, and those in turn would get scraped by the upstream borgmen of their orga for aggregation, archiving etc. Monarch is more of an As A Service offering.
Is this a 2D slice of the actual spherical black hole?

Because if a black hole is a sphere, then shouldn't the whole thing be golden?
Agreed. Model 3 is the only car that ever gave me a feeling similar to riding a supersport motorcycle in terms of acceleration.

P.S. Model 3 happens to be the only EV I tried, but as much as I know about EVs, most of them share a similar kind of "fun" acceleration.
This was one of my highest priorities after buying my current house and it was well worth the effort.

The cable line in my livingroom connects to a modem. The modem feeds into a wifi router so that I get a good signal throughout most of the house. One of the ports in the router's on-board switch feeds into a wall outlet, which connects to a master switch in the basement. I could never go back to pure wifi.

What I find strange is that, like the OP said, the original network was setup for phone outlets... but the house was only a couple years old. Are RJ11 phone networks really still a bigger selling point than RJ45 switched networks? With the high adoption of cellphones and the increasing demand for internet-connected devices, it seems like RJ45 should be standard.

Never knew that was a thing, i definitely need to try it out now
I’m curious as to how you think your proposed structure would be significantly different from the structure under the Articles of Confederation. It seems as though we’ve already tried having minimal revenue raising structures for the federal government, learned that such a structure does not work well at international scales (240 years ago - we’re even more globalized now) and moved onto a more productive form of taxation.
Most seems like a stretch. I have $800 frames and have changed the lenses probably twice now. Maybe it’s different at lens crafters.
Most of the rest of the developed world. Seems to be a common situation where I find myself reminding Americans that their bad ideas about government have spread to the UK. Higher education costs in the UK are rapidly spiralling.
As a sysadmin who rails against split-horizon DNS (usually around Active Directory implementations where brain-damaged people have named the AD domain the same as a public Internet domain name) I'm already getting a churning feeling in my stomach thinking about how software is going to mishandle this scenario in DNS-over-HTTPS.

It's going to be particularly god-awful for devices that roam between networks where the "internal" DNS is visible and networks where it isn't. Ugh...
I don't understand, if the bug was written by your team, how could the ultimate cause be something outside of your team?

Seems like 5 Whys in that scenario would lead you to look at things like insufficient test coverage, no code review, code reviewers missed the bug because...

Those paths of inquiry lead to your team changing things under your direct control that could make it less likely for similar bugs to reach production in the future.
Facebook Is Changing News Feed (Again) to Stop Fake News
I've used all 3 for development. Using macOS right now, but want to try switching back to Windows when I have some free time. The reason I want to switch is because I've been having a lot of trouble with my 2018 MBP. Aside from keyboard issues, since updating to Mojave it no longer works well with my external monitors which is really annoying. On top of that, the kernal_task keeps slowing it down because it's too hot. I haven't been able to find the source of that issue, but it affects productivity quite a bit.

Linux is really great when it works, but as a general use computer, it is no match for Mac or Windows. If it's just for work, sure. If it's also your main computer it can be a bit of a bummer as far as software support.

That leaves Windows. My Windows desktop has been really solid, it's cheaper, more powerful, tons of software, and it has the Linux subsystem. I generally prefer the tools for development on the Mac, and would prefer if I didn't feel the need to switch. Not that you would want this feature either, but Windows supports MST no problem. I don't know that my Mac ever will.
I agree that a lot of this is perception, and the "young man's game" assumption is largely false, just driven by meaningless demographic trends (not as many people started coding in 1980 as in 2010, so there are proportionally few old programmers.

I'm talking about a larger feeling. The industry is ethereal. The companies and jobs in the 2039 information economy will be very different. Sure, it's possible to keep up. But, it may not be easy. In a lot of cases, you can probably expect the rug to be pulled out.

I agree that a talented engineer will probably be in demand. But that's just a small portion of people.

Compare this to bookkeeping, welding, lawyering, nursing...

An average 35 year old nurse (or most people working in a hospital long term) can imagine themselves continuing on some relatively uneventful path for another 30 years. An average employee at Uber? A lot less so.

..and most people work at much less prestigious companies than Uber.
What Is Hydrogen Spectrum
> It seems like it would be best if operating systems implemented DoH at the system level, including DHCP support, so devices could use the network's DoH resolver which might do malware blocking.

They already do that. It’s called DNS.
So the example of a common generic usage is a proper noun?
Who decides which kids aren't worth the investment?

We can't just indiscriminately invest in everyone - we're going to end up throwing a huge amount of money away on kids that don't have the capacity to benefit from such education, and wasting the kids' time too. Not to mention the credential inflation, and the kids' own debt burden if they're tricked into investing their own scarce funds into education that won't pay off.

I guess I'd support this if there was some strict mechanism to avoid such malinvestments - but I'm not sure how feasible that is politically given the equality dogma prevalent in our culture.

At the end of the day, having the government control this creates the same Soviet-style problems as having the government control investment in cars, bread, or other consumer goods. Government just doesn't have anywhere near the accuracy in allocation or price discovery as free market does.
The web bloat page does have a little CSS in the header. If there was a limit on the words per line, that's all I need on desktop. In mobile Safari, the text size is a little small; I think mobile Safari's default font-size is 16px, same as desktop, it should probably be 18px. This site's CSS could make it bigger (wouldn't even need to make it mobile-only).

Mobile Safari is doing an okay horizontal scroll for the data tables because they don't fit in the portrait width on my phone; to make it nicer on mobile calls for using different HTML, either repeating the data in the original HTML and selectively displaying them with CSS or using JavaScript to manipulate the data.

I've never really considered stock options to be a good deal, really. There's a reason they're widely referred to as "wallpaper".

Options are a bit like lottery tickets. All other things being equal, it's marginally better to have them than not, but their existence has never affected my decisions about where to work.
Apple’s ‘90s precursor to the iPhone shown functioning in new video
I've had companies reject me explicitly because they had bad experience with other googlers. I'm honestly considering dropping it from my CV.
Concurrently, actually, in the engineering space.

My path was BA philosophy -> MS Finance (worked as an investment advisor) -> after a year break I went back for a post-bacc certificate in CS during which I interned as a software engineer -> OMSCS, which I started the same month I started my first full time software engineer position. A year later I transitioned to a junior DS position, and am now a DS. I'm 30.
Vim user here. I use Vim for pretty much everything, but I do have Spacemacs installed purely for two modes:

1. Org-Mode

2. Regex Mode

org-mode is just too good not to use. I use it for interview notes, writing documentation for other teams and non-technical staff, my blog, and probably other stuff I can't think of right now.

The part where I heavily disagree with the author of this article is when he says you don't have to use emacs for org-mode. My, personal, belief is you're missing out of some of the power if you opt for Vim + Pandoc. The exporters in emacs support a lot more features (that I do use) than Pandoc does. If you can get away with just Pandoc then great, but I opted for Spacemacs (coming from Vim).
When you express it this way you come across sounding like an ungrateful little jerk.
So true, I was also recently thinking I should read more science/engineering news because that's actually positive stuff happening.
Currently reading it. Quite an experience. I am discussing it with a friend as I am reading it. Don't quite catch all the gnostic references, possible causes of the weird names etc. but still intriguing.
Sorry no, my name is unrelated and is just part of my last name + net.
It definitely contributes to a lack of social mobility. If you are competing with others for zero-sum access to the upper reaches of society and they get substantial assistance from their parents then you don't have as much of a fair chance.

The question becomes - how much of a factor does it play? I would think less than the intangible but non material benefits of having higher income parents (your upbringing, the lessons learned from your parents, their professional connections, a safety net that lets you take risk) but more than I would like to have admitted to myself a decade ago.
I don't think they could afford to block it because China's tech sector is dependent on lots of American-developed open source projects hosted on it. They could set up their own git service and fork them, but they wouldn't get the benefit of ongoing development; they'd be on their own. It's almost like connecting with the rest of the world has tangible benefits...
Google is distinct in their bad attitude though.

What it feels like is:
An engineer at google builds something cool. Management decide it could be a product, and a bit of tooling here and there and BAM it’s released.
It goes well, then it stays. It goes poorly or even just average, then it gets thrown out. And what of the users who put faith in the new product? Screw them it’s not profitable enough.

Compare to AWS, an engineer writes something cool, it gets evaluated by a project team, the business benefit and support infra is put in place, its trialed with a few users, its honed, then if it gets good KPIs then it’s generalised and released as a product. They subset very slowly and always make sure there’s a clear migration path, with humans in support to help the developers if need be.

Saying “Google and literally every other successful company continue to take this approach to unprofitable lines of business” is too reductive : nobody is contesting that a business shouldn’t cut out unprofitable actions, but the repeated, drastic culling and the “f-you we know best” attitude they take makes developers distrust google.

Google is too whimisical with both releasing and retiring products.
sure, if your service behaved as well as possible during your dependency's outage, yes.
I can imagine so many bad things happening from this. The first thing that springs to mind are the lawsuits: The term of the ISA in the article is 8.5 years. So you finish that up, and a year, two years after you make tons of money. The bank sues you, accuses you of sandbagging your earnings potential by sitting on a profitable project/idea/etc until after the terms of service. It's securities fraud. That's just to start.
Why not implement the actual Linux KVM ioctls instead of a something similar yet different? You could then run qemu on top and get an actual "full stack" (ie. everything up to Open Stack or Kubevirt).
Or how about we give people the voluntary choice to participate, or not participate, in these efforts?

That way those that prefer more expensive forms of education, can be free to do that and pay for it, and those who don't, don't have to do so.
Why is that a bad idea? I mean, if you're downloading 1GB, your file is split into 1MB chunks, and each hash is 256 bits, that's only 32KB. I doubt anyone would complain about that.
Keys to Closing the Leadership Gap in Finance, According to Female CFOs
I'm not sure how much we can truly draw from small irregularities in the image. This isn't actually a low resolution image. It is an algorithmically interpolated image created by comparing possible interpretations of the spotty and noisy data gathered from multiple points at different times processed against images of what we think a black hole should look like.

House passes bill to restore 'net neutrality' rules
Pretty much the same. Emacs with evil vim like bindings to edit .org files.
I do a fair share of code within .org files though and it’s fine.

People complain a bit too much about productivity and context switching.
You're assuming I don't do anything around the house, don't buy any food, or help my family because a person can only help their family because of indebtedness.

I pay $500 every month for my father healthcare, even though I haven't seen him in over 10 years now. This is for the person that I clearly remember beating me as a child. So lets not start about being ungrateful, you know nothing about my life.

Your supposition probably says more about yourself than me.

But thanks for the ad hominem.
One problem with this is that later round investors usually want their investment to go into growing the business, instead of paying off employees. So the incentives aren’t aligned here to allow employees to sell their stock while the startup is still private.

Employees are also not usually invited to the investor meetings where these types of negotiations would take place. They would probably need the founders to vouch for them to make this happen.
* If you're not interested in taking on new challenges you can generally sort of fall through the cracks.*

BigCo titles are much more narrowly defined, so most of the time you can't even see the parts that might have new challenges...or cracks.
> DNS should be a system-level setting, not an App-level setting.

I would go even further: Any app trying to bypass the system-level network settings (like with DoH) should be considered malicious and possibly malware.

This is what spam-bots used to do back in the days. Now let’s add Firefox to the list.
Many people also do not belong in an Engineering program, and that's why the 101 classes are designed to weed people out. That system already exists in higher education. At my (liberal arts) school, we have a two-strike policy. Strike 1 is when you have a sub 2.0 GPA in a semester; that gets you an academic suspension for 1 semester. You can rejoin only if you retake similar courses elsewhere and meet a minimum grade requirement.

If you are allowed to re-enroll, you have 1 strike left. Another sub-2.0 GPA and you're gone.

If the US brought such a generation-transforming policy like this to the table, the easiest part of it would be to set that minimum standard across all participating schools. Most likely already have something close to this in place now.
Since we've already accounted for all housing and car payments (btw, your car ownership costs are way too high as a lower bound. I would say an decent $10k car you hold on to for 5 years at a time would have total annual costs closer to $5/year) that doesn't sound bad at all
Using and embedded resolver or switching to a third-party DNS server, at least within many corporate networks, isn't viable because outbound DNS traffic is allowed only from the "blessed" stub resolvers. That doesn't change scenario 1, however scenarios 2 and 3 are rendered moot.
You can use special paint on the buildings that blocks RF. There are also cell phone jammers. They require a license and approval from the FCC and have legal implications / risks.
I've worked at mostly startups and I have had a normal work schedule except for maybe 1-2 days a year.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but aren't you talking about running a stub/recursive resolver with DNSCurve? You could do the same with DoT, or DoH.

It sounds like DNSCurve might be easier to configure and setup from your perspective?
>> Why the down votes?

Let me offer a theory:

It seems that we need a 'Law of Anonymous Social Systems Entropy' (not to be confused with the idea of 'Social Entropy') that states that every social system (including social media platforms) tends, over time, to demonstrate that groups of negative human beings will eventually -- by virtue of their being less constrained by civility and less tolerant of foreign ideas or groups -- infiltrate and negatively affect all human social systems that allow anonymity. This is likely due to the fact that anonymous social capital (e.g. this site's user reputation) is not real enough to activate normal human self-censorship. As well, the disingenuous will be able to game the system to gain the social capital necessary to negatively affect the system. Note that the negative group need not be in the majority to do damage.

It has taken longer for HN to reflect this truth but it appears that a significant percentage of this site's commentariat has finally become more and more insular to ideas -- and even questions -- more borderline than the ideas of those who hold its social capital (i.e. those with the ability to downvote a post).

In theory, anonymity is great for allowing free-thinking people to express their controversial views without worry for reprisal from other groups, but in reality that gives cover to the people with purely destructive, anti-social, anti-progressive and intolerant tendencies. And those attitudes and their accompanying behaviors have a much greater negative system effect than those of well-intentioned users.

The fact that our entire world is now connected by effectively anonymous social media means that the above concept has crept into every aspect of our lives, and has actually cost lives in places such as Myanmar.

(Note that I don't have the karma to up or down vote.)
To be fair, lack of public toilets is often a bigger cause of pissing on the streets ;)
Whoop. You're right. I misread again.
>At the age you're agreeing this you are very unlikely to correctly judge your own value.

I think that's the point, isn't it? Even if the student overestimates his potential, investors with more neutral incentives and more broad experience in predicting such outcomes won't.

Lots of startup founders overestimate themselves too; the social purpose of VCs is to make judgments on who can use capital the best. What we have now is like a government agency that gives capital to literally anyone who wants to start a company, promises them riches, and makes them pay half the tab anyway so they end up hugely in debt in addition to wasting the taxpayers' share.
You mean the cruise control that's already killed people? The cognitive load of not trusting cars around you is now increased by having to worry about not trusting your own car. That's crazy to me.

I'm pretty convinced most stress caused by driving is just people driving way too aggressively.
It's extremely common to have worn out lane markings in the snow belt. New paint only lasts one winter before the plows scrape off most of the reflective beads. Rain driving in the dark then becomes a guessing game no machine can handle.
Very poorly written.
The catch is that you may not be able to control 3rd party libraries enough to be be able to do all that. Thus all these annoying hacks. To me, the complexity of using fork() and the race conditions around pid reuse are the worst design problems of POSIX systems.
Where does it stop though? Because in that case all externalities will become a "I trusted that dependency but it failed, why did I trust it and didn't work around it?".
To be honest I'm really surprised about this as well, like you I have no trouble imagining a triangle, changing it's form even having it animate to a different shape, multiply etc..

I always thought everyone could do this.
It makes me realize how far we are from grasping the true depth our brain abilities.

This is also why creating a true is very far. We must first understand, then replicate.
