>Older cultures didnt need to check for anything, decisions probably evolved through intra generational symbolism and stories about ghosts and evil spirits.

Did anyone check if that is actually true is part of what I'm asking here. Or did/do the Tukanoans keep this process alive not out of intra generational symbolism, but because they make sure to tell the next generation it's poison.
So you are moving society forward? Your banal motivations of lifting heavy things and having sex with random women is noble? Says who? You exploit software so that other people can steal, spy, etc. and I would argue that your life is even more purposeless than that of the hedonist. Unless you are building something useful or performing needed services to improve human life who cares? The truth is that everybody is mostly a drag on society.

Previous generations set society up in a way that today it's not really necessary to work super hard. That's what we have been striving for as a civilization since the beginning. Free time to spend with our families and friends.

Without religion, nationalism, war, status"ing", etc, people have woken up and realized that life IS meaningless. If you don't have to struggle to survive, many will lapse into a state of torpor because why not?

Look how many people quit their jobs to travel around in a van and rock climb? That's basically the same as the video game player, but so what?

I believe people should be using their time and abilities to take care of themselves and their families, experience love and joy, and to hopefully leave the world a better place (at least not a worse place). There is still a lot of work to do (cure cancer, explore space, clean up our planet, build homes for people, maintain what we have) and ideally people will be motivated to work on these problems, but to do so just so you can have more sex is ridiculous. In the future people won't be exploring the universe Star Trek style just so they can have a baller pad in Miami and bang "10s".
The biggest difference is probably package managers. It was common for a codebase to be 100% written in-house. Often fundamental algorithms were written per-project. I never minded the detail work, but the way we have it now is much more productive. Standard libraries give you so much to start with and package managers and github libraries make up even more. The most important ability now is critical decision making at a higher level.

The other thing I really appreciate is garbage collection and static typing with type inference. We get this with good edit-compile-run ergonomics. We even have good interoperability of languages in run- or compile-time VMs. What we have today I didn't even dream of back in the day.
So glad you asked.

> It seems that more people want to be investors than founders

This may or may not be true but it paints an innacurate picture. There's always a ton of highly talented people willing to be founders and start businesses. And there's always a ton of businesses with plenty of labor to start new projects. All you need to do is look at the insane number of brand new projects created on ProductHunt every single day. There's only enough consumer demand to satisfy a tiny percentage of those products created. This indicates a massive oversupply of highly talented labor.

The problem is opportunities. opportunities to build real value that people are willing to pay for, are sorely lacking. In short, everything that can be done (legally) has been done (the low hanging and mid hanging fruit). And, all that's left is the really really hard stuff.
No, Industrials NYC
The last few teams I've worked on moved the daily Round Robin into slack. You would have to fill it out an hour after signing in and before you left for the day. Accountability was key and having it in the dev-chat saved a lot of time.

Our 'walk the board' process was saved for tuesdays and thursdays and involved product and project managers. We set a 45-minute max so noone would rabbit hole on any one ticket.

This has been my favourite process so far because this was the highest level of team accountability I've experienced and you would only spend 1.5 hours a week in meetings.

> standardize Convert a CSV file to one that conforms to RFC-4180.

Very glad to see this here, hopefully it'll help with increasing adoption of the RFC.

I find one of the biggest pains of working with CSV is that all too often, someone gets Excel involved, and then Excel absolutely butchers the file. Off the top of my head: It strips leading 0's (even if quoted), converts big numbers to scientific notation, sometimes interprets non-date values as dates, and when saving, keeps the mangled values, doesn't preserve quotes, and uses regional settings -- to the point in some locales, it becomes a "semi-colon separated file"! Even just opening and then saving a .csv (without editing) can totally mangle it to the point it's unusable. Sometimes Excel can't even open a file saved by Excel without mangling it even more.

Sure, but given a choice, I'd rather work with primitives that are correct-by-construction, not correct-if-I-use-an-extra-tool-and-actually-act-on-its-advice.

If you do use a linter and have it set up so linter issues are fatal to the build, then you run into the issue that if the linter throws false positives, you have to add exclusion rules (if the linter even supports that) or downgrade linter issues back to warnings, and lose the benefit entirely.
You really shouldn't do anything for that matter.

open-source projects from big companies. But when they are young. For example, TensorFlow 0.5, etc.

Also, look at the early access features of cloud offerings. Those companies have 10's of product managers that listen to 10000's of customers.

And, they will not get into a market that is not 10B.
My impression is that young people are just catching up with Bucky:

“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”

It sucks for this case, but I’m glad this sort of thing is hard in general. If it were easy, I’d expect some sort of large market to sell shovelware downstream to ads/malware producers after achieving audience. Does one exist anyway?

I'm probably saying the complete obvious, but Apple can completely crush Google if they execute this angle properly.

Google has no choice but to support ads. They're an ad company. Apple has to keep hammering how bad the ad and privacy experiences are with Android. Make iOS an absolute delight to use in contrast.

I'd pay a premium for that. Android has done a great job making me want an iOS device again, these last ten years.

Ask HN: Have you ever managed someone paid more than you?
I once prepared an offer of about 10% higher than my comp for a candidate who would be my direct report. It didn't trouble me at all because this person would have been a perfect fit for the role. My manager said no way and we lost the candidate. I was probably underpaid and I suspect my manager feared I would use that as leverage to ask for a raise. But honestly it didn't bother me and I feel like the company missed out on a great candidate. Has anyone been in this position when it actually went through? Was the salary difference a cause of tension?
Work is important because we value a high quality of life. Things like comfort and shelter and medicine and protection from violence and all of the other trappings of civilization never mind luxuries like cars, Internet, cell phones, etc. These things have never existed apart from work. I keep hearing about how awful capitalism is and how absurd and morally wrong it is for humans to need to work, but no one has offered a better solution (certainly nothing that bears up to a layman’s understanding of economics). Substantiate your claims about how “absurd” things are—articulate a system that can appropriately channel resources “where they really should go” (e.g., caregivers) better than capitalism (specifically what imbues your system with more moral authority than a market? If your system depends on a majority of voters feeling the same way as you, what happens when you can’t guarantee that invariant? What happens when you realize that voters and their representatives are even less efficient at allocating resources efficiently than a market? And how does your system guard against corruption better than capitalism?).

This study uses an inscrutable statistical model to arrive at this conclusion. On the other hand I have yet to see an epidemiological study that shows abstaining results in a lower hazard ratio than moderate drinking.

Consider the following study:
https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736...
This study only calculates HRs between current drinkers, finding that the lowest mortality rates occur below 100g/week of alcohol. The issues with the conclusions of this study (issues which are apparent in many other alcohol studies) are addressed in the follow-up here:
https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736...

I'm sure that similar issues exist with "Alcohol use and burden for 195 countries and territories" but the statistical model is too complicated to really see what's going on. I agree that at a population level alcohol is bad for longevity but at an individual level there seems to exist no evidence to suggest that moderate drinking is.
The IPO is a taxable event. You’re taxed at the IPO price, and your company should withhold shares based on that price.

After whatever lockup you have some fraction of shares remaining. When you sell those and if the price is greater than the IPO price then you have capital gains on whatever shares you still hold.

You still owe tax from the IPO. My point is the company will withhold shares from you, but you might need to pay more if they underwitheld for the IPO. This has nothing to do with your capital gains from selling your remaining shares.

Right now Samsung seems to be number one in android phones. what benefit would they get from doing this? Making it easier to update their old products? They don’t care. All that does is make people buy fewer new phones.

Across all the vendors they could save time… but I kind of doubt they’ll ever do it. I don’t think that motivation is strong enough for them to change the way they do things.
Of course they have a choice: charge money for the services they provide. Revolutionary concept, I know.

What if you used the exploit to change someone else's modem speed? If you are the who's modem was modified, how could you prove this in court? It sounds like it'd be very difficult. However, if you can somehow prove this, then you can just alter your own and claim someone else did it externally and claim it's their own fault because they provided a device that was exploitable.

Note, the premise of this comment is based off another commenter's claim that you can pull this off remotely and don't actually need to be on the local network.

Not really, dropping private data from the ad industry might make certain ads perform worse, but it will also remove information on why. In the end the ad dollars will still be spent, and Google and others will profit.

The only potential harm to Google is that if advertisers go back to choosing publishers based on reputation alone, the need for Google as a middleman to lots of third parties is reduced so they will only earn the big bucks from their own properties.
That’s the thing that astounds me about buying an android phone. When you buy an iPhone you get one app from Apple for each task. Because it would be ridiculous to get more than one.

But if you buy an android phone you might get a copy of Google Chrome. And some sort of rebadged Samsung browser. And maybe a Sprint browser because you bought a Sprint phone.

Now repeat that for email. And text messaging. And a couple other things.

It’s crazy. I’m amazed new users can figure out which one to use sometimes.

All because every layer of the supply chain has to add their “customization“. To add “value“.
Absent memory pressure, apps can stay open for up to 10 minutes in the background.

The correct solution here is for the app to request background processing and to schedule a local notification in 9 minutes saying that the app is about to run out of background time and pause (and then clean up the notification if the user returns to the app before it fires). This means you're not abusing anything, and it lets the user return before the connection is killed in order to keep it alive.

This also means if the user never returns, the app will naturally shut down the connection after 10 minutes instead of keeping it open indefinitely.
While I agree with this post essentially in its entirety, it's weird that he didn't mention the most significant fact regarding his request: the Roku doesn't have a web browser, and the development environment has no hypertext primatives. To that end, there's essentially no way to browse web pages on a Roku unless you literally render the page somewhere else and serve it as an image. (!)
> given the propensity of the male psyche to become dependent on dopamine

Do you have evidence for this assertion? Curious
Ok, I get it now. Initially I was a bit confused because you got some concepts mixed up, but it makes sense now.

Basically, Akka takes tasks and runs them with a limited number of executors each on its own JVM thread. A task runs until it's done, at which point another task is chosen to be executed. This is akin to GCD queue-based dispatch.

Technically, this has nothing to do with JVM per se - JVM threads are OS threads and thus can be preempted, but by the OS only, so when the thread continues, it's still running the same Akka task! An alternative Akka implementation would run each task in its own (OS/JVM) thread, which would solve the preemption issue, but OS threads are quite expensive (though getting less so recently) so there would be a large(r) overhead. Erlang / BEAM runtime (and Golang, Haskell, and maybe others) solves this by implementing preemptive user-space threads, which bring the best of both worlds (assuming a good implementation) - ability to run millions of tasks (each with tiny overhead) while avoiding starvation (by making tasks preemptible / re-schedule-able).
What services are you thinking of? They charge for all the enterprise level stuff, and Google Cloud etc; but consumer facing every-day use services?

I can't see how charging for search would work, charging for Android, they already charge for handsets but it's easier for Apple because of a closed ecosystem, I doubt they could charge for Chrome, so I'm a bit confused.
In my experience the CGA is generally ignored until the Commerce Commission investigates. The best you could do is take them to the Disputes Tribunal (small claims court) and then the time and energy involved is probably outweighed by the replacement cost unless it's a ultra high end TV.

I hope more Wall Street companies will use better programming languages and improve the corresponding infrastructure like Jane Street and Bloomberg did with OCaml, like Standard Chartered did with Haskell.

> though there's no reason a man can't stay home to take care of the kids

Yes there is. Babies spend nine months in their mothers. When they are born they prefer their mothers more. Not out of hatred of their fathers but because that is who they are used to, due to simple facts of biology. More importantly, only mothers can breastfeed. While true that fathers can stay home with older children, there is an obvious advantage to mom staying home with babies, both for mom and baby. Keep in mind the WHO still recommends breastfeeding until age 2. Two years out of the workforce is a lot.

> added unicode as an afterthought like Python did

I agree with you on the benefits of static typing, but let's clear: Python didn't add unicode as an "afterthought". The initial release of Python predates the initial release of the Unicode standard, by almost a year.

Furthermore, even if this were not the case, it took a while before Unicode got any significant adoption among programming languages, well after the release of Python 1.0. I think Java in 1996 was the first language to adopt Unicode.
FWIW the rest of the recommendation by the NIAAA (National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism) is no more than 14 drinks per week for men and 7 drinks per week for women. So, they are not advising that 4 drinks per day every day for a week is safe.
