I remember taking the Houdini class. I've modeled a desk lamp. It was crappy and I knew it, but the teachers said it was an "amazing design" and encouraged me to learn more about the software. It truly was inspiring and a great community... Thanks for everything.
Apple’s reviewers try to distinguish between apps that legitimately need to play audio in the background and apps whose use cases have nothing to do with audio (or location) and are likely using the APIs to work around the rules.
There's something perverse about a liberal arts college campus being repurposed for co-working.

For what it’s worth, the St. Louis Fed published a report recently on the income and wealth “premium” that people with degrees get. There was a long thread here on HN. The income premium is how much money people with degrees make per year, versus people without degrees. The wealth premium is how much money people with degrees save by the time they retire, versus people without degrees.

The reports says the adjusted wealth premium is going to zero. However, note that people who have degrees actually save (a lot) more money on average, the report is controlling for several variables trying to answer a hypothetical question about the true “value” of college education.

The report also show the income premium is, on average, about a factor of 2 for 4-year degrees, and a factor of 3 for advanced degrees. Meaning that, on average, people with degrees earn twice as much as people without. Several different studies have concluded that this income premium is not entirely based on skills learned at college, but is partly cultural and preferential behavior to people with degrees. That’s not a good thing, but it should factor into your calculations of whether a degree is “worth it”.

> If I ended up owing 150k and could afford to pay back 1k a month, It would take me 12.5 years. I’m sorry but it’s just not worth it. I can’t think of many sober people that would disagree.

Just curious, why would you end up owing 150k? That’s a lot, and you can get an education for a fraction of that at some very excellent state and private schools. The article said literally that students were paying 1/3rd of suggested retail for tuition. And also why would 12.5 years payback make it not worth it, if your salary was double for the rest of your life?

I remain unconvinced.

> If Oracle wins you are the copyright holder of that code, including the API.

I said "what if I'm NOT", as in, "how will this ruin everything for me in the most common case, that of being only a user?"

But I am planning a library and it is meant to be free-as-in-sunlight if it ever gets there. I'm not worried, I just find it easier to agree with those who are saying the opposite. They seem to think Oracle winning will be precedent for an incredible amount of control to be exercised by software publishers, especially regarding operating systems... this would basically throw a bucket of sand into the proverbial gearbox, for everyone, down to the last user.

Not everyone wants more control. On the flip side, not everyone wants more users just for the sake of proving they made a more useful thing.

IIUC Google winning means I have to be mentally prepared for someone to someday take advantage of my work, which is what I wanted from the very beginning. Whether or not that feels "fair" depends entirely on my definition of "fair", not the court's. Anyone who decides to do that will have paid me a compliment, unless of course someone reuses my work to do something specific that I happen to really dislike. But people are very different from me, so that's almost inevitable, and I might not even learn about any of it, and anyway I accept the possibility.
I don't disagree that we could do more. Stanford is free for the poor / working class if their grades and test scores get them admitted.

What I'm saying is that while the student loan crisis is real, and higher education costs at "big name" schools are ridiculous. That narrative has some unnecessary hype in it.

Specifically, you don't need to go to a "big name" school to get the jobs, state schools are just as good. And state schools (or even better the combination of community college + state school) are affordable for a lot of people.

The $40K number isn't an outrageous amount of money to get on a loan (especially when it is in 8 $5K chunks) If you were going to start a gardening business you could put that down on a used pickup truck and some lawn care equipment.

My concern is people who read "College costs $150K? No way could I ever pay that off!" and never look deeper. That narrative makes for a click baity story but it isn't the whole truth.
I went to Duke University from 1987 to 1991. Because I was a North Carolina Resident not using a public university, but staying in state, North Carolina paid Duke $1000 out of the $8000 tuition for me. Not sure what it is now, or if it still exists.

A well-known user asked a question along the lines of "Is the reason Quillette hasn't been nuked from HN because Paul Graham likes it? I hope not." I had a response typed up for him, but he deleted his question. Here's my response, because I feel like distrust of moderation by prominent members is something that should be prevented if at all possible:

I don't believe so: the current moderation of news.YC make their own decisions (not just saying 'dang solely because I'm not sure if 'sctb is actively partaking in moderation, just doing technical work now for the site, or none of the above), and 'pg (as far as I'm aware) doesn't really interact with the site in any capacity at this point.

No need to accuse the site's moderation of doing something bad for Graham's sake: he's a/they're very sensible and nice person/people, and very good at his/their jobs, at that.

I do think there was a valid case for not punishing the site too hard at first: seeing what kind of discussion it generates over a statistically-relevant amount of articles is useful for figuring out how to handle these cases going into the future, and of course on the principle that blacklisting domains should be a last-resort option. I think 'dang has elaborated a bit on his reasoning already, and there's no reason to take him at anything but face value.

However, I think that time has passed somewhat, and as you can see later, 'dang is re-evaluating it now, so there's no need to worry. The site's in good hands.

Its massively expensive @ $30k for 9 months. A year at a reasonably good California State University is <$8000 (http://www.sjsu.edu/faso/docs/1920_COA_ugrd.pdf), or <$32k for 4 years (that price doesn't include housing or other living expenses, but neither does lambda school).

Yes, you wont pay $30k if you don't get a decent paying job - you'll just waste your time.

Identifying as a conservative does not imply that you operate the same across the board.

It’s more of an orientation. It’s saying, while you may support liberalism at different times, if you sample decisions at some arbitrarily large sample size, you will find a preponderance of decisions in favor of keeping the same rules at play that your grandfather had.

1) if there's a bug in the crypto library that creates RCE 2) if a mitm delivers a payload to an application (browser/plugin/etc) and that causes RCE. The former might cause NSA to get its panties in a wad.

But it might be much worse than RCE. It might be like Heartbleed, where it can leak key material and memory all day (on servers and clients) and you'd never know it because the leak leaves no trace on the system and just looks like normal requests. Perfect exploit for spying. (And of course it's possible they had that exploit in their back pocket, but someone else reported it to M$, so now they're CYAing)
This seems very reasonable, but I've read enough to know it's more complex than you think. College admission officers are juggling a lot of complex math to figure out their student body. But the reason they don't charge 12k is for a couple of reasons. Some kids will pay the 36k(Usually screw ups with rich parents) and to attract top tier students that raise their rankings(which they need high to attract students) they need to give them large discounts and scholarships.

Most people would prefer to go a 50k school with 38k in scholarships than a 12k school.

I was pulled over for expired tags a couple weeks ago by city police. They asked for IDs for my wife and friend in the back seat. Our 2 year old was with us as well, in his car seat. We are all quite caucasian, in case anyone is wondering.

I have no idea why we were asked this, but I declined the request. We got a warning for the tags.

I think the statistics sound nice and I think that earning a degree for much less than 150k is great! I'm just trying to figure out how much I'd have to be earning monthly for me to be okay spending 1k/mo paying something back for a dozen years. I think that I'd have to be earning 6k and live in a place where rent is super cheap. In those 12.5 years, I'd much rather be saving as much as I could, investing in property, stocks, business, anything...but that 1k a month is a lot and a degree doesn't guarentee that I'm going to be able to find a job that makes it comfortable for me to pay that sort of debt off.
None of the performance tuning suggestions are benchmarked, and I find it hard to believe these would ever make a substantial difference. They could make a statistically significant difference, maybe, but local variables vs class attributes? You should show how much of a time saver this is, because I can't envision a realistic scenario where this is worth the developer time.

QUIC addresses this, like TCP it's a connection based protocol. It's just implemented in user space on top of UDP. The server response is required to be smaller than the client hello.
I think Apple values the user perception that Google is the best search engine. Note how they used Bing for Siri and Spotlight search (and they've been largely, if not entirely, replacing that with Siri Knowledge instead).
Maybe arguing for a solution where women were property of their husbands is cruel. I reckon the people making these arguments don’t expect to be on the barrel-end of that social dynamic.

Maybe the people making this argument just can’t compete in the modern world.

I feel like traditional universities is a dying breed. Of course some big and famous ones like MIT will stay, but in general it is not worth it. If you want to get a degree, instead of $36k a year, you can enroll into online university like UoPeople where the entire 4 year Bachelor Degree will cost you $4k.

Disclosure: I'm not affiliated with UoPeople, but I did graduate from there.
> Most files listed below are available on this torrent: 3dbuzz.torrent. Some files are currently missing.

Looks like either the torrent itself, or the set of files the torrent was created from is corrupt, or containing different versions of some of the zip files, because the torrent does not completely verify against the zip files that 3dbuzz originally released to the public on their website a week ago.

Someone on Reddit made a torrent too, and the first torrent that person made had some issues too but then that person made a new, fixed torrent that verifies correctly against all of the zip files that were originially released to the public by 3dbuzz.

Why stop using the app, let one report it, and not just turn the unwanted feature off?

And I think the app is covered since it's saying "enabling location data means you can plot on a map where you've connected to a host" or something like that in settings - good enough a bs feature for Apple to let it slide, evidently.
I wish the list were scaled a la TF/IDF, perhaps to total checkouts for that year or with some scale that includes utilization of available copies. That would be more telling.

Public schools are what I'm talking about - the ones people would actually transfer to. (UCB, UCLA, UW (where I went), UT Austin - all top ranked CS program schools) Private is much worse. You'll probably never get into a top private school unless you're transferring from another top tier institution - most people I saw transferring into such schools were already from other top tier schools. Stanford, for instance, accepted 27 transfer students last year. 27 - that's it. Same story for many other prestigious colleges.

The point of going to a top program isn't that it's a better program academically (maybe it is - maybe it isn't). It's about the resume and other things the university offers. Some of the schools help place you in co-op programs, have catered career fairs, and much more. They can set you far apart from other "lower tier" schools and make you stand out in the overwhelming crowd of new grads. It's mostly about signalling more than anything.
It goes both ways. The Amish have very deep and committed beliefs about their way of life and its connections to the family unit, which is primary in their community.

What we consider “completely normal” (cell phones, dating apps, sharing economy conveniences and luxuries) hasn’t done anything to keep us from atomizing to the point where people are killing themselves directly or through alcohol/drugs. The Amish want to keep those things out of their society because they see plainly what the rest of us have become.

It’s extreme and difficult to understand, but I wouldn’t call it ruthless. Those who are shunned have made the informed decision to reject their rules and leave.

Well I have no clue about this but what you’re saying sounds right!
"rework" doesn't have to be so negative. Requirements change, the markets change...and thus software must change. It doesn't mean it wasn't done well the first time.
By "context" I meant, in this case, a specific medical decision/direction of research/etc. An entire field isn't sufficient context to make a judgement call.

Fine. I'd be comfortable paying $2400 a year for a 4 year degree. That's my final offer. I won't go over that. If that's not possible then I don't think I'm the target audience! Which is a shame, because I'd really love the legitimacy that a degree would give. To be very honest, I've always dreamed about going further than that and getting a PhD, then contributing to a scientific field. It's honestly been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. But it's stayed a dream. Real life is harder than your $40k sales-pitch. I absolutely think that's it's possible to pay it off and it's a lot more reasonable than some tuition rates. I'm just saying that if I can't get it for less than $2400 a year, I'm not interested.
Most manual processes, I agree, automate away. But not the ones that have negative implications for security. I don't care whether it's the TOS or some other means that's used to prevent pw sharing, but it should be prevented.

Polarization and Misrepresentation Off the Outgroup
Actually, the dev has exactly 0 input on how the standup goes. The middle manager sets the true goals and the dev is either in or out of step. Whether anyone else in the meeting gets anything out of it is strictly a side effect, and not relevant to the manager. I've never been able to make a stand up into what it's supposed to be when the manager makes it about meeting deadline and not hearing about problems, regardless of whether you have any problems. Maybe you have worked in great places where this sort of dynamic doesn't happen, but I've worked exclusively for cold capitalists and it's always been about justifying what you are doing and feeling the pressure to get done faster.
Is there any hope of "fixing" it now without going through another massive migration struggle (which will simply not happen)?

That's indeed how it works on Android. If you want to have a high priority background task that isn't among the first to get killed when another app needs more memory, you have to tell the OS to show a notification that is displayed until the user shuts down the service.

What are some examples of non-required parts of Docker not needed for development?
I interpret it as a type of superstition - or more clinically speaking, pulling the brakes off the (mental) neural network, draping a big fat uncoordinated fog of "you're doing the right thing" over the whole thing, and letting the result iterate for a bit.

Humans seem to have a tendency to leverage complexity (adding layers until we can't see the bottom anymore) to keep ourselves engaged, so maybe superstition is a side effect of that.

And the problem is, because our brains find patterns in everything, and most readily in our own behaviors, it doesn't take too much iteration for us to go "wait, there's a pattern right there! that makes sense!!1" even when the result is comprised entirely of logical fallacies and chicken soup.
