> remote is not for everyone

I view this as a problem. Everyone should be able to work remotely in tech, especially in 2019. Office and commutes should be legacy concepts. What do we need to do to enable better and more remote cultures? Society has currently adapted to Office norms, with regards to working hours, interpersonal interactions etc. With the rise of remote work and indie work we 'll need to develop new ways to live.
I was active in the XP mailing group when things like SOLID got popularized, mainly by consultants. Of course the principles had been around for much longer in various forms. To me, there seemed to be a distinct difference between what some of the consultants focused on, and the books they ended up writing compared to what people who were using XP techniques and trying to leverage (determine) the best software design approaches to write actual production software. Some of the book writers / consultants were much better at actually observing (or having direct experience of) real issues and how to deal with them. But actual software design did not center around things like SOLID, those things sort of just fell out of approaching design in a particular way. I find the language too strong ( laws / principle ). Instead as you find ways to construct modular and composable software, you'll notice that things tend to have a single responsibility, you'll notice that "modules" tend to become stable and extendable through other "modules" of software. They are like side effects of good design, not things to focus on other than if a design is not really working well, it might provide an insight into why its suffering.

Which is all a polite way of saying it is mostly crap and the insight of people with real problems and who dealt with those problems is mostly ignored.

I completely sympathize with your struggle. I have 3 children <= age of 3.

Prior to having children of toddler age (as in, children able to physically bang on my locked office door), working from home was the only time I was able to maintain deep focus and accomplish difficult tasks.

My wife does an amazing job keeping my 3 children happy and occupied, but the noise and distraction level at times creates an atmosphere worse than being in the office. I have come to the realization that this is just a temporary phase that will pass. In a few years, once the kids are in school M-F 8~3, WFH glory will one day return. In the meantime, I've discovered quiet places in the office to hide out and perform deep thinking / heads down work. If I was paid more $$, I suppose I'd probably rent a temporary or shared space to periodically work from.
It is less reach but people need to explore other options. Maybe Twitch streams and Patreon would allow him to monetize in a different (better?) way. I agree that YT only cares about corporate interests.
Not sure what exactly you mean by that but finding symmetries in a graph that is determining its automorphism group is not a simple problem. It is closely related to the graph isomorphism problem, about which we don't currently know whether it is solvable in polynomial time or it is NP-complete. On the other hand, we know that the Integer Linear Programing problem is NP-complete.

Ask HN: Cheap or open source BeyondCorp implementations
I'm looking to set up some private infrastructure (developer infrastructure like internal wikis, internal webapps, GitLab) and would like to lock every server down behind some sort of SSO with MFA. I'd like it to be restricted for all services: SSH, HTTPS, etc.

I'd like to set up Google's BeyondCorp security model in a cheap or free way for my infrastructure. I'm okay with using either a third party/cloud service or an open source solution.

My first choice was Cloudflare Access [1], which is free for HTTPS. But to put SSH and other services behind it, you need to use Argo Tunnel, and Argo costs $5/per month + 10 cents per GB (with first 1 GB free). The private infrastructure will only be accessed by our small team of employees and should have very little inbound traffic (at least relative to traffic from users) for a long time. But the cost and lock-in could pose issues in the future.

My second choice is the open source Pritunl Zero BeyondCorp server [2]. This looks really good and like it'll meet all my requirements, but of course it requires some manual setup and maintenance. And and the costs of the server I run it on may end up being equivalent to or even more than what I'm paying for Cloudflare Argo for some time.

Google Cloud Platform's Identity-Aware Proxy [3] seems to be Google's original internal BeyondCorp implementation, but for cloud customers. I would need to use GCP for all of my infrastructure. I'm not necessarily against using GCP in the future, but right now I'd like to save as much money as possible in the early stages of my project. I believe I can save significant amounts of money using standard VPS servers over GCP/AWS infrastructure - at least in the early stages.

If you see EMH as a general principle: all present information is incorporated in the price and all Sharpe ratios trend to the market Sharpe ratio, it makes more sense.

Introduction to Nest.js for Angular Developers
I find this a little bit confusing. The primary function of jobs is that it's hard for workers with specialized skills to extract all the value from their labor alone, so they get together in organizations to do it, and the people doing the organizing (and capital investing etc.) get to skim a healthy chunk off the top (too much in our current economy) for doing so. Is this the same as what you're saying, or different?
I think this creates a nationalistic retaliation -- "We don't need America. We can do it ourselves, and better."

No, they wouldn't? The law clearly says that what they have to do "upon notification of claimed infringement" is "to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing". Nowhere does it say they are even allowed , let alone required, to legally review the claim.

The bigger issue is that the nature of smart phone releases is that each time you want to bring out a new model, you need to employ a few tens of thousands of people for a relatively short time to assemble them. This isn't possible in most countries due to labour laws and/or shortage of workers.
Sometimes they bury the toxic waste under the same land used for growing crops and keeping livestocks. Consequence: the contamination of the groundwater used by all the local farms. The result is carcinogenic meat and produce. I first read about it in Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah.
Not in my experience, and I've worked at a couple large US tech companies.

I actually remember that article from years ago. I liked it and I don't spend much time in Sa3eed (aka Southern Egypt and Sinai where iirc he did that reporting; I don't have time to reread but recall the lingerie angle).

Don't get me wrong, I am a relatively accomplished Arabic speaker and thought it was my role in life to be like him and those like him. But being a white dude who speaks Arabic is the only hurdle set, and no one says that is the only bar to surpass to report on US news in English. You need more and if you didn't speak English at a minimum people will laugh you out of a media outlet if we compare; only in the Middle East does that make you hot shit. It is partly that, and partly that everything is romanticism facing outward bc that is all the system tolerates. I always get away with stuff bc I can string sentences together and I am fluent enough to be charming. It is all you need to be respected, albeit increasingly less in Egypt, even if you are looked upon skeptically as a spy by some and Egyptians call it Foreign Syndrome, 3odet al-khawaga. That skill gets you places, but you cannot be reporting on relevant internal dynamics are you are gonna be sorry.

I know some that are a few degrees separated from me but close to many local people going to jail for sedition or failure to comply with censorship regulations, explicit or not. No amount of Arabic will teach you to hang out in those circles as a journalist, unless you're an Italian researcher during the Mahalla Labour disputes and you want to get beaten to death by the cops for looking into govt involvement in labor inequity. That happened and whoosh the human rights ambulance drove away to never came back. I'll google him later but no one recalls that dude anymore. None one gives a shit about my friends who learned Arabic and stayed during the revolution. Many of them learned not to write bc posting real stuff gets you in real trouble there. End of story.

So Peter is all nice and good but we have a made a global media economy where this is the most that can be tolerated in Egypt and similar regimes down the street bc it sells. Fuck the locals, who cares! And I say that a guilty westerner who fears for family and knows my nation helped facilitate this garbage, and shout at my ignorant Western family for not getting it when they humored me for a visit. The compounded problem is a lot of us work in the software industry building tracking systems used on those brave people who speak up so only an idiot involves himself or herself in that shit directly. Direct or not, I feel great shame at this.

But amarna is nice though.

In my mind there is one killer feature in Lisp, and that is Compile-Time-Computing.

You have a macro system that isn't some lameass additional language with severe limitations like the C preprocessor or C++ templates. You have all the language available both at compile time and at run time. You can even use functions you already have (and tested) in both places.

This allows you to leave every single assumption you make during programming in one place. You don't have to splatter uncertainty about what the program is supposed to do into multiple places because you language isn't expressive enough, e.g. you cannot just redefine control structures to express an assumption. That is what leads to "changeable software", not just "readable software".

Example - using scientific units attached to literals in source code, but keep them at compile time and don't slow down runtime with unit checking:

And speaking about early or late (static/dynamic) type checking. If you have compile-time computing you don't have to choose. How silly would it be to make a programming language that can only do one or the other.

Yes, but I think it's understandable given that nothing in the spec suggests CTEs should affect performance.

Practically speaking, though, CTEs can be used to organize code, and query plan generators/optimizers may take that into account. Or, as someone else added, PostgreSQL will materialize the CTE as if it were a temporary table being used as an input.

Almost all RDBMS advice is implementation specific, sadly.

I’m writing this from Australia where I arrived today and my Sprint phone roams for free: I get free texts and slow 2g/3g data(enough for WhatsApp and FaceTime audio calls) as well as $0.25 phone calls.

I wonder if this is a good thing.

Really random aside incoming:

I once was only able to quit my League of Legends video game addiction because I gave my account away that I had so much vested in (skins, all characters, rune pages) by basically messaging a random stranger, changing the account to their email, going to a random password generator site, changing the pw copy+pasting the password without me looking, and sending it off -- in effect "suspending myself".

I was unnerved for a couple of weeks, but eventually, the itch to play died off. I tried starting up a few times, but it wasn't worth it especially knowing how much time I sank into it previously.

I wonder if I got myself permanently suspended from Google, (I want to quit Google given how unethical they have become) would I rid myself from them for good?
I deal with such experiences by simply reversing the credit card charge. The issuer of my card has a solid process for handling such situations. They ask a series of questions: was the charge in exchange for goods or services? Did you receive what was promised? How was your experience different from what you expected? After about half an hour on the phone with an actual human, the charge is reversed, and all goes back to normal. I’m confident that not even google can fight bog standard chargebacks.
> Anything can be collateralized, including things that don’t have stable value

The article doesn't mention collateralization so I don't see your point. There is collateral in that the person is using a loan to buy a valuable item, so that item is used as collateral.

> There’s no scenario where some dude off the boat from Pakistan or Haiti without assets should be able to borrow $1M for the right to drive a single cab. This story makes the exploitive and scummy Uber/Lyft business model seem ok in comparison.

Do you suggest limiting loans to only dudes that aren't "off the boat"? Again, it's not in the banks interest to lend to these borrowers if they have no intention of paying it back or at an asset value that will fall.

It's unfortunate that there is artificial scarcity for these medallions that resulted absurd market values. But most businesses require some sort of financing. Few business owners have liquid capital they can use to get their business up and running. This is especially true for many entrepreneurial immigrants coming to this country.

Out of curiosity, what compels people to use terms like "liveable salary"? ("Living wage" used to be more common, but whatever.)

The median salary in the US is less than 32,000/year. Do you think half the country is failing at "living" in anything but a totally fantastical definition of the word "living"? It's a cheap propaganda term--obviously--so why use it? Is it just habit?
