In my (very limited) experience there are still large differences in the quality of the reviews. As researchers do this basically on the side and for free, the amount of time they devote to a review varies greatly depending on their time budget and motivation. While some reviewers seem to go through the paper character by character and point out even the tiniest flaws, others are contend with a superficial reading and miss even glaring mistakes.

I'd say publishing the reviews is good because it allows you to see how much effort went into the review process. It will also (anonymously) shame the second type of reviewer into being more thorough, which I think is also good.

As a side note, I think articles should all be available for free and the work of the reviewers should be compensated or appreciated somehow. Publishing reviews with the reviewers names (only for people that want it) can help to create such appreciation, because it is a lot of work.

It's easy to forget how things were before the Snowden revelations, since Internet privacy issues have been covered much more extensively by the media since then.

(Edited to add "Internet" above.)

trying to finish up the 2019 Advent of Code problems. Sorry, Santa...
I have moved away from Google Photos and it took me a looong time to find another service that was as reliable and easy to use. I didn't want to spend too much money on it and I wanted it to be reliable and that it would give me enough control.

I tried a few photos-only clouds like shoebox or Canon Irista (recently defunct) but I find them all very lacklustres.

Dropbox was the best alternative I found but it was bit expensive for my taste and I wasn't fully happy with it. For example you can put data on the SD Card.

Here is what I ended up with and I am the happiest I have ever been:
Note: I don't actually have that many photos, but I use this solution for all my cloud storage.

I have VPS on Scaleway (~3 €/month) where I run a Resilio Sync instance. This means I have all the data on all 3 of the devices (I use an SD Card on my phone, resilio is one of the services that will allow you to put data on it)

I run a second instance on my phone and a third on my laptop. This way, if one of them dies/lost I have 2 backups.

And to top it all, I backup everything to Backblaze B2 storage bucket with CloudBerry. Which costs me something like 1€/year.

All in all, I am very happy, it's a solid setup, all the files are safe and always with me.

Here is the blog post I followed to set it up.

Very sad. We lost a piece of history.
In my experience as a programmer:

1.Learn deeply about the psychological mechanism of procrastination, pay good professionals if needed. Any any skill, it takes years to master, but pays off.

1. Do not stop reading HN, just use it as a price, when you complete a difficult task. This is very important, people will usually use HN of whatever as an excuse for procrastination, because it is easier to read (be passive) than create.

It has been extremely useful reading HN over the years, I spend over 20 minutes every day. I do not go deep but use Zotero to store anything interesting. When I need this for my work I just go to zotero and study deeply for days this useful info.

2. Learn how to make the machine program for you. Learn lisp, learn functional programming, learn lisp macros and metaprogramming. Learn grammar systems and how to create your domain specific languages.

Even if you don't use functional programming or lisp, the concepts and ideas you get from understanding it makes you avoid making bugs, or you know how to automate everything, including finding bugs.

This also takes years to master, but your computer can write hundreds of thousands of lines per second. Most people only write 20 or so per day on average.

3. Learn how to manage other people so they do the work for you. Learning psychology will also pay it back here. If you master psychology, people will be able to do things under your management that they are not able to do on their own.
Staff making iPhones in central China plant to be quarantined
Here is it seen as part of becoming an adult that you know your limit and don't overpromise. If you know you've had a full schedule already this week, and that you really need your friday-night on the couch, then you'd simply not set up anything that evening and ask if next week is also possible.

And if you really need to back out because of course nobody is always perfectly estimating their energy levels, you simply say it like it is: I'm tired, let's reschedule for some other time.

Respect is shown by not wasting other peoples time. Don't act, if we are really friends I'll see through you anyway, and I also respect that you really are tired and cannot come.

I think Scala hast lost most of its appeal due to Kotlin. Scala has some really powerful and clean concepts, but tooling is not as good as Kotlin's. Scala has a much steeper learning curve, and Scala code can look very different depending on who wrote it. These are all drawbacks in real world projects.

With Kotlin you get like 80 % of the good things from Scala for 20 % the efforts.

I've switched from Scala to Kotlin 3 years ago and didn't miss much (real pattern matching come to mind).

> $6 a month if it can run for $50 with 0 hours invested

With the risk of sounding like a broken record: yes in such a case it is better but that is often not the case at hand; this exact argument is used for spending $500/mo after optimizing the software vs $50k/mo autoscaling with ‘0 hours’ invested (between ‘ because ofcourse it takes a lot of time to even get that working, but, for many programmers, it is apparently easier work?).

A few weeks ago I commented here while optimizing a Laravel cloud install, now I am working on a Clojure one. Client is spending $28k/mo on aws, especially Dynamo and the rest on ELB.

Rewriting to Postgresql standard and the dynamo part to postgres columnstore and adding proper indexes has the lastest stress tests down to a few 100$/mo they will spend when they launch this.

The $28k is spent using exactly your argument, and like most of these projects like this I do, it was quite a lot less than 28k (1 month hosting) to optimize this (which had us rewrite a lot of spaghetti from dynamo to psql).

So yes, in some cases you are right, I would say when cloud hosting pops over 3k (especially if sudden), I would hire a me to have a bit of check to see if you are not burning money for nothing.
John Mighton on Math
Unless you need to do that, I wouldn't suggest trying. It's a nightmare with several sets of contradictory, overlapping out of date docs needed to do the whole thing properly. Then of course it breaks and you don't know why. It used to be that tilemill kinda nailed it but that just went away.
I won't say nobody ever engineers an excuse (not even me ;)), but personally I feel better by just being truthful about it, I've never had a bad response to that. And I never give anyone a bad time about them cancelling either. Also, I just try to not plan too much anyway, because I know by now I need a certain amount of downtime, seems like it may be a bit more than most.

We're all human, and we all need downtime, no shame or guilt in admitting that.

Ask HN: Am I weird for not wanting to work in consultancy?
Roughly a year ago I got hired by one of the most famous consultancy companies in Europe. It has lots of interesting projects, ok salary/benefits and fine colleagues.

But it doesn’t motivate me to jump from one project to another. Most of them tend to be short-lived and I can’t enjoy seeing the product grow. But then I see most of the people do enjoy that.

"It's easy to forget how things were before the Snowden revelations, since privacy issues have been covered much more extensively by the media since then."

No it's not. I can't find any data to this narrative. There were (media) discussions on the government collecting all the data it can in the 70s, and they come up with every census.

There have been huge discussions around ECHOLON. There have been huge discussions about COINTELPRO.

Shocking to whom? I never met anyone who was shocked. Did you? Were YOU shocked by the fact that the NSA was listening in on the internet? Was your mom shocked that the government listened in on the internet? Who are those "many people"? Is there a poll or any substantial data? I really would like to hear from someone who thinks that it was a conspiracy theory that the NSA was listening in on the internet and then was shocked by the Snowden revelations.

I've read all three articles and none has any data or facts about the "many people" or any sources. What are many people? Where does this come from?

The parent comment claims:

"considered a baseless conspiracy theory before the Snowden leaks."

Considered by whom?

EDIT: Ok, thanks telling me you were shocked that the NSA was listening in on the internet. I would not have thought that someone on HN was shocked, especially after ECHOLON - I stand corrected.
Why are you invalidating the cache after 30 seconds, why not just invalidate it when something in that user profile changes....

If you're worried about drenching your cache then you can simply work out large traffic profiles and cache them longer / indefinite versus lesser timed caching for profiles that don't see as much traffic....

As of now, there's no treatment for it. At best you treat the symptoms and hope the patient's immune system does its job.

Some antivirals might have helped in some cases. But they also might have had no effect at all and the people treated with them recovered on their own. It's way too early to tell one way or another.

I agree that it's good to take a step back from time to time but IMO it doesn't make sense to think about productivity in a generic way (e.g. in terms of time management).
