Argentine Tango! I used to need 3 or 4 drinks to get near a dance floor. Never mind the gut wrenching fear of asking a woman to dance. Now I teach tango. Nothing like midlife to shake things up.
I would pay for a personal or home version of Dropbox. The business plans start at $150 / year which is way too much for what I use it for.

Give me the free plan and charge me $12 / year / device to unlock additional devices. I want to use it on my desktop, iPad, phone, and laptop.

OneDrive is interesting but Dropbox is a far more common datastore for apps on my phone and iPad.
Well, it has a goal in mind, certainly. I’m not sure I would call that goal perfect.
Those statements aren't "terrifying" in the least once you consider that your relationship with the employer is a _business_ relationship. If the employer didn't want career games, they wouldn't reward them. As simple as that. If your company's official party line diverges from its reward structure, the best thing you can do for yourself is to follow the reward structure and ignore the exhortations to be doing things the company obviously doesn't give a shit about (as measured in dollars, the only reliable measure).

Fundamentally your only rational goal in the situation is to maximize your expected return over the duration of your employment. At Google or FB you maximize it by launching stuff that looks good in a promo packet (with metrics and numbers, too; if you can't measure something it's worthless at promo time), and never, ever working on anything "legacy" related.

Those are, at a basic level, the rules of the game. Your _rational_ choices are: play the game well, or play some other variant of the game somewhere else. Not playing the game is not an option. Playing the game poorly is irrational.

ps: I really wish HN supported basic markdown so we can make bullet lists and other simple formatting controls, nothing wild like citation/footnote support just the top 5-10 markups. Trying to make a list of URLs to share looks like ass here.
The moral is don't buy insurance for anything where the loss wouldn't ruin you financially unless legally required.
Ask HN: What are you using for quick mathematical modelling?
There exists an app which I use for mathematical modeling: http://tydligapp.com

It allows you to simply drag and drop dependent variables in multiple formulas to quickly translate real world problems into actual numbers. For example: If I buy amount x of y I can create z which can be sold for $a each. How much do I need to sell to make $b total?

Is there anything like this for mac or linux?
Occasional Shakedry user here, that stuff is truly amazing. But, just as advertized, only in a very narrow usage profile, e.g. strict no backpacks rule (unless the bag fits inside).

All the magic comes from the single trick of exposing the bare, delicate membrane as the outer layer. Usually there is a protective outer layer on top of the membrane that will inevitable get soaked and then it's game over for breathability, no matter how good the membrane underneath is. A backpack would ruin that unprotected membrane in no time and I don't even expect it to last very long even if just occasionally taken along for uncertain weather.
That sounds cool. Does ANTLR help with anything besides parsing your new language? It seems like the substantial effort is making the VM/runtime that the language runs within.

I was shocked by the 15% premium! I could self insure and break even if 1/6 products were defective.

Televisions will be around for years. The 3 toothbrush heads should last under a year. How are they going to break? I'm sure the manufacturer would give me a coupon for a free head if something was wrong, and it'd take about the same amount of time as finding the receipt, driving to, and doing a return at Walmart.

I can do everything listed in benefits with puppeteer, while I can’t even make sense of what iframe is supposed to achieve here, or how it’s even gonna load (anyone with a shred of sense would set X-Frame-Options to SAMEORIGIN, subject to exceptions). The airovic.com site doesn’t work and hilariously attempts to load two seemingly important scripts from localhost...

I’m very confused about this submission, and even more confused about how it managed to almost top the front page.

Edit: Having read the code samples, it seems the code snippets are supposed be run from the same origin in the dev console. A quick and dirty way to interactively scrape without navigation, I guess? Still not sure what the “all together: Airovic.com” is supposed to mean, and definitely more limited than puppeteer.

Edit2: To be fair to the author, they did say

I've installed this on my home server. It's pretty damn neat. I'm sure the spreadsheets won't win over those that use advanced Excel features, and I had to do weird things because I'm using a residential connection and outgoing SMTP is blocked, but if you want to host anything even resembling an online office suite at your house this works well.
There's a twist to this. Once you reach the "senior" level, you don't have to "play the game" anymore. You're pretty well compensated, the requirements to get to the next level are stratospheric, so you could just stay a T5 forever. Although it'll gnaw on you that your former engineering peers who have switched to management seem to have a much easier time going up the ladder, even though they suck mightily as managers, and it's not clear to anyone (including themselves) what they actually do.
In the end where do you get your rocket fuel?

Nice article!

There's one small error, where the article says "With Nim, we were also able to link both the Nim and C files into the same executable, which Crystal sadly cannot do." However, this is not true! You've passed the object file you created directly to the linker, so it is in fact included directly in the executable.

I'm a core team member of Crystal, feel free to ask away.
Maybe my mistake was acknowledging I have insurance. The billing person said they run into issues with the insurance company if they let covered individuals bypass the insurance.

This blog post describes some of the mechanics in a bit more detail.

Within one standard deviation of the mean does, by definition, fit most people for a normally distributed factor like height. (64% > 50%, thus most). "Within 1 standard deviation of the mean" is a decent (if possibly overly strict) definition for "normal" in this context.
That's a good point. I have never perceived it as insurance. To me it's just like having roads or a fire department.
I mean the same thing you mean. My issue with airflow is that it’s complicated and doesn’t adapt well to cloud computing. Dask runs on aws emr and eks, Kubernetes, etc.. Unfortunately orchestration is a lot more complicated than it looks. Parallel executions, retries, logs, status tracking, email notifications. Airflow doesn’t really tackle all orchestration work.

He's traversing the site using the injected iframe. That is, there is no top-level navigation event, only an iframe navigation event. Then he's gathering information from the iframe hosted DOM and combining it in the context of the starting, main page.

One thing I was going to add but didn't makes it less terrifying. Often people what people think is benefiting the company isnt. eg being a hero working long hours is great in the very short term, but a better solution is managing a more sustainable process that consistently delivers.
I heard that blockchain is actually more in a sort of brainstorm phase right now rather than being a viable technology and that it may be until the 2030s until it becomes more reified and usable.

The reason standardized blockchain globalization won't be realized until many years from now is because of the fact that any decentralization requires a unifying synthesis of the whole that can establish a connection between any two nodes.
They sell fuel having prepared it for burning, put it in tankers, and sent it to sites that pour it into the machines that burn it. Ergo they are responsible for its impacts, and should be taxed, regulated and penalised accordingly. The entire environmental impact should be on the producer and seller, and fully priced into their sales. Customers would then be incentivised to find a more economic, and less impactful fuel.

It is possible to foreclose on some kinds of error entirely, and if you compare like-for-like, those benefits become obvious.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Bitcoin was supposed to usher in a techno-utopian world through a decentralized network of trustless machines.

What we got was an exchange of trust from financial institutions to....new and less regulated financial institutions.

Now rather than trust that Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan is making sound investments with your deposit base, we need to trust than rando CEO doesn't a) fake his own death, or b) legitimately die but be too incompetent to plan for the fact that no one else has his laptop password.
Yeah, thanks for shitting in the punch bowl.
I have personally seen women struggle to get birth control with health insurance. I have also had to sue medical practitioners in the past for fraudulent billing. I have also seen people be unable to buy life-saving drugs because of an insurance hiccup.

The American health insurance industry is completely fucked if you think it has anything to do with providing healthcare and isn't entirely about maximizing profits for the inner circle. People are literally dying because we have the least efficient health insurance system in the world. And it's designed that way because some people are getting ridiculously wealthy from other people's pain and suffering.

> Cruise ships ought to be the first candidate for a luxury tax to pay for marine vehicle electrification

Tax burdens are tough to pin down. For something like cruise ship docking, the fear is losing the docking business to a neighboring port. That can change ground economics for voting families, a problem for policy makers.

State or national-level regulation is probably needed.
Coming from a high-corruption country myself (Russia) the pattern is easily recognizable. It's also recognizable in the US, but people here seem to still believe, at least to some extent, that the politicians have something other than their own self interest in mind.

How do I 'justify' taking unpaid vacation?

For me the question is entirely reversed. I have to justify to myself giving up my time for a client or employer. The natural state is for me to fart around, I wasn't put on this planet to commute to a cube.

I do it because it allows me to achieve my goals - things like having fun experiences, donating to charity, helping out family and friends, being a useful human.

If I did it 24/7 then those goals would fade into irrelevance because I'd have no time to pursue any of them.

I had wrote a longer post, but I've edited it, because I think really this is the key take-away. Do you work to live, or live to work?
Sorry! I don't know which classification will fit my usecase. But, imagine building an application with strangers you don't trust. No one person is the owner and anyone can modify the application in their local repository and send a pull request to merge it into the master branch. Since no one owns the application, I want atleast 50% of the application collaborators to accept the pull request. This way, integrity of the application can be maintained.

Is this a good fit for one of the blockchain classification?

>There's no ability and need to test everyone today, but this is a sign that we should move to more regular screening of higher percentages of the population.

Signs of Hepatitis C, along with most liver diseases, can be caught with the standard liver enzyme tests that's available in pretty much every lab in the developed world.

To be specific, if you see your doctor and it's been more than 6 month since your last visit, then it's standard procedure to take a blood test. Your doctor will take out a pre-printed form that's commonly called "laboratory requisition form" or "assay requisition form", fill out the patient information and tick a few boxes. If they ticked the "ALT" box, then they have ordered the necessary liver enzyme tests. Quoting Wikipedia: "Significantly elevated levels of ALT (SGPT) often suggest the existence of other medical problems such as viral hepatitis, diabetes, congestive heart failure, liver damage, bile duct problems, infectious mononucleosis, or myopathy, so ALT is commonly used as a way of screening for liver problems."[1]

Here's a Kaiser Permanente laboratory requisition form[2] with the ALT checkbox. Here's a Quebec health provider that include ALT in their general profile test #1 through #4 [3].

Testing for Hepatitis C directly is also widely available. Since it's a public health hazard, most state and national governments in the developed world has setup free testing programs. For example, I Googled "california hep c testing" and this page[4] is the third result. They offer _free_ Hepatitis C tests with the results available in 20 minutes.

There is nothing particularly insightful in that quote. Employee/employer relationship is like any other transactional relationship: exchanging some freedom for money. Other forms, e.g. freelancing, consulting are different, but pay less for the same amount of work
I would argue that most of the time, yes, the compiler should emit bounds checks and only in performance sensitive code should they be removed (or where the compiler can prove the bounds check holds for a range).

I don't know how anyone who has studied the history of vulnerabilities and security issues and code would think this is a hard tradeoff:

> If yes, your code is now slower but there isn't an easy way to disable this "feature" (if x is heap-allocated or passed as a pointers, how will the compiler know what kind of bounds check is sufficient?).

> If no, you have undefined behaviour and crashes.

The latter choice has resulted in how many millions or billions in losses, perhaps even lives lost?

> He never once wrote that only first-rate colleges produce these individuals, nor has anyone with any sense ever stood by rankings as anything more than a proxy for some deeper hierarchy. And yes, like it or not, the higher ranked schools attract and produce more ambitious and intelligent humans in the aggregate.

The specific claim was:

> > Many of the colleges that use this are third rate colleges that aren't going to have too many "creators, entrepreneurs and groundbreaking scientists".

which is much stronger than saying that more such people are attracted by higher-'rated' colleges; I have no problem with the idea that there are lots of such people at first-rate colleges, only with the idea that there aren't many at other colleges. I agree that the claim says nothing about causality or about 'production' of such students, but neither did I.

You don't need to do any calculations to figure out if insurance on low value items is a bad deal for you. The insurance company has already done the sums. It is a bad deal for you.

You should never insure anything you can afford to replace yourself.
You just called that person’s comment “nonsense” and lumped it in with a vague category of other supposedly nonsense comments. That’s not a useful contribution to the conversation.

If you don’t understand what they are proposing, ask a question. I know exactly what they’re talking about and I agree that decentralized services underpinning markets of local goods will play an increasingly important role in the economy.
