I love anecdotes like this, even if they make you facepalm all these years later. Here is mine (numbers are guesstimates):

Was given a single, paper share of Apple stock in 2000 on my 21st birthday. Worth maybe $24? Lost it and forgot about it. Found it in the Summer of 2013 and excitedly cashed it in for TSLA, which was around $117. Today, those 7 shares are now hovering around $10k in value and represents my only stocks of any kind. Here's hoping the momentum continues.
There used to be several desktop blogging programs at the past, both commercial and free/open source, but they died because apparently putting everything in the browser is sexier or something.

Anyway, here is one i found out recently and seems to be able to do the job:

https://getpublii.com/

And a blog i made with it myself:

http://runtimeterror.com/devlog/

Having said that, the first thing a friend of mine (who has managed a few blogs professionally) asked when i mentioned it to him was "can you make posts from your mobile?". Of course the answer is "no" since this runs as a desktop application, manages everything locally and just generates HTML files that can optionally upload/sync to your server for you. But apparently every single non-technical client he had wanted to use their phone to write blog posts way more often than their computer.

And yes, i know this also explains the "because apparently putting everything in the browser is sexier or something" part i wrote at the top, but, dammit, i do not care about mobiles at all, do not go and kill stuff i (might) like.

(though TBH there are several things i dislike about Publii, e.g. the themes are both ugly and too overcomplicated to work with and modify and the program is written in Electron with for real benefit - it doesn't do real WYSIWYG, just a rich text editor almost with the same capabilities as the one you could find even in Visual Basic 4 and it doesn't even preview the site inside it but launches your browser instead, but there isn't really any other alternative that i know of and at the end it seems to work... though i'm itching to go and write my own :-P)

I often will use ctrl R to run tests, and they keep failing until I fix all the bugs.
I think the paper provides maybe the best introduction and overview of the approach: http://www.s3.eurecom.fr/docs/usenixsec20_symcc.pdf

To me, it was also not clear initially why symbolic execution is useful anyway. But this is for testing. The paper introduction explains it. "Symbolic execution was conceived more than 40 years ago to aid in software testing." The goal is to cover all possible execution paths in all possible conditions, which is hard or impossible with traditional testing.

The new approach here (SymCC) improves a lot on the runtime of the symbolic execution over previous approaches.
For me the winning combo is KeePassXC + Syncthing.

I'm not saying they couldn't have suppressed it, I'm saying they couldn't have done so without a lockdown. Once the virus is progressing through your population there's no other way, though masks certainly seem to help. With sufficient testing you can track it's progress and employ smarter lockdown strategies of course.
Australia is locking people in tower blocks without warning, including people who were only visiting and thus have nowhere to sleep, including people who have run out of food. Even friends trying to deliver food were turned away.

It's completely insane, unbelievably nasty, truly evil. The virus is not dangerous. I'll repeat: the virus is not dangerous. Excess deaths in the UK, relatively badly hit by a series of bad decisions, matches the famous plague of 1999/2000. You probably don't remember that one, because nothing happened.

NZ meanwhile is now terrified of re-opening their borders in the belief that this NOT DANGEROUS virus can be kept out forever. They have no plan for how to do this without going full-on North Korea. It's also incredibly self destructive. The Virus Is Not Dangerous.
This depends on the model you use, right? As far as I know, Tesseract supports a couple of models, and you could also use a more powerful neural network in there. And if you have trained it well, it should be fine.
Black lives matter? According to black on black crime statistics and black abortion rates, they don't, not even black people themselves.

Willing to take the L for saying the truth on this one. It's politically convenient for the left to use the death of a black man (f the police) to rally up support against their opposition as the election comes up, but without that, they will happily ignore the amount of black on black killings that happens in THEIR OWN cities the rest of the year. And then they'll happily support abortion, which is an incredible suppressor of the American black population, making sure they will never grow in numbers enough to make a political difference in this forsaken country on their own and not used as pawns by either political party.

I'm sure one day you will be able to convince me that black lives matter and we will finally do something about it to make meaningful change. But it looks like today is not that day. Judging by how the protests and riots have settled down already in less than 2 weeks, they are finished making use of black lives to further their political goals. Just like the time before, and the time before that. When does it end?
This exactly. At may last job I burnt out, bad. In hindsight I see it. It did so many weird things to my mental health (and physical health) that I did not see at the time.

* Depression and Anxiety

* High blood pressure

* Weight gain

* Not having any idea how to simply relax

* Friends were more or less entirely from work

* Loneliness

At the end of the day I didn't want to go learn more stuff. I tried like hell to just gain my life back and failed miserably. It wasn't until reaching basically the bottom that I found a couple things that helped me:

1. Blood pressure medication was a must, I'm still trying to determine if this is stress related or a genetic thing.

2. Meditation. I found I did a ton of thinking about the future, worrying about the past, and just in general not being able to live today. I still struggle with this, but meditation and mindfulness have helped me a lot in trying to be in the present rather than past or future (depression/anxiety).

3. Time off. Though mine was sort of forced and forced to be longer due to COVID-19, I found time off helped, but since it was unplanned financial concerns kept me stressed out and I'm still trying to recover financially now.

If an employer wants me to continue upping my game they will need to give me the time to do it while I'm working. Within reason. I'm not expecting like weeks or something, but I just won't give up my free time anymore, it's too important to my health.

The sad reality is I know this is something an employer will tend to look down on. But I've found that happiness is not work, and work is generally not happiness. You have to have happiness outside of work and they need to be distinct separate things. Work, fundamentally, is about paying for the things I need to live so I can enjoy myself. I've found I don't need fancy toys or an expensive house to enjoy myself. I don't have to live on a lot of money.

Can't agree more except for the long-videos thing.

The way YouTube works now encourages clickbait crying-for-a-click titles and silly-shocked-faces thumbnails because click-through-rate plays a huge role in video success now.

In his video [0], that youtuber explains that and why he was going to shift toward using clickbait titles in his channel. Because otherwise, you would not thrive on YT.

For long videos, I think sometimes even 10 minutes are not enough to convey a substantial message in a video. But I think you mean those youtubers that prolong their videos longer—without added value—just for more ads.

Of course it's correct. If the immune system can't learn immunity from the full virus itself, virus fragments or a weakened relative won't suffice either.

As for developing a novel type of vaccine? Developing any vaccine within an acceptable timeframe would be a minor miracle. To expect a breakthrough like that is plain delusional.
I find the article while thoughtful and provoking, paints a myopic view of self-advancement. The analogy with sports is what throws it off. Sports can be individual and could be team-based. There's an importance to individual skill, no doubt, but the team apect is what lets one not only assess own standing, but have a chance at advancing it without the adversarial pressure. If you choose to retool, the team would pick up the slack meanwhile until you're back (hopefully stronger).

The skill degrees indeed are relative, and in the field of programming are dynamic. Of any one skill to put in permanence is perhaps an open-mindedness. It is a readiness to learn, not much an ability to master.

Lots of excellent programmers don't stop learning, they just discover the wisdom of 'good enough for the time-being'.

Expertship is lonely, beginnership is open an dynamic. The author projected the whole skill advancement spectrum onto the single grade of Beginner, as if beyond Expert lied a void or infinity.

I believe, paradoxically, beyond Expert is ... a Beginner. Either by humbleness, or by need to discover a new field, or by age, or boredom, or wisdom.

Programming has to be a team activity. If you happen to handle a project part by yourself, your future self or someone to work on your code after you is your current team.

If you're on the team already, then you keep learning from your mates as long as you let your mind stay open to it.

On windows, NVDA is also widely used and is free, but you will need to buy a good vocaliser/voice for it. Windows has a built-in Narrator, but the voice is not clearly audible at high speed, so people tend to move on.

On phones, iOS and Android both have built-in, capable screen readers, but they lack flexibility for internet usage.

On OSX, the built-in VoiceOver technology is apparently good, and widely used.

If you're wanting to test what the screen-reader experience might be like, you could do worse than trying the one built in to your operating system (Windows Narrator or iOS VoiceOver). Increase the voice speed for a better experience.

> I'm not actually trying to explain or interpret anything. Instead, I am mostly paraphrasing

Yes, this is what I meant - apologies if this was worded poorly (edited it now). I was indeed referring to American's (wrong) understanding/interpretation of the GDPR you are referring to rather than your own article's interpretation of it.

> I think it's more about baseless misconceptions and myths being thrown out here and there. Ask yourself: Why?

Indeed it is, however misconceptions/myths can be referred to as misunderstandings. I'm sure there are business interests at play and why there's a lot of bad advice being thrown around in an attempt to demonize the GDPR and make it seem more annoying than it actually is, but if we were to only assume good faith then I think it's fair to call it a misunderstanding.
Update: after writing this I checked again, and with the latest update to the Nextcloud iOS app it is possible to directly open and save the Keepass database from Nextcloud. No need for BoxCryptor anymore. Hurray for Nextcloud!
The problem isn't their averageness though, it's when they impose it on the team. Ive worked with some team leads that were technically average but allowed others to use their skills and they were fine. It's when they invented bad standards that it was a problem.
It feels like self-admitted beginnerism is actually the mark of a great developer (not assumed expert). Regardless of whether the “expert” is genuinely earned or not.

Indeed this is the idea behind the beginners mindset[1], where we assume our knowledge and experience may be faulty. That we have to unlearn our skills to make a further leap. That when you assume you’re an expert, you’ve already lost.

So I tend to question the Dreyfus model in general. I want to see how capable people are at getting skills, but also how readily they can discard hard won skills. Similar to a sunk cost trap, we can needlessly hold onto our skills and hesitant to think we need to let them go and rethink the whole approach.

Indeed. She hits a great balance between explaining enough that it's clear, but not over-explaining to show off her world-building skills.

>I wonder how much of Goodwill's stock actually comes from things like this, as opposed to houseful donations.

Anecdata. I worked at a goodwill in the early 2000s for community service. A lot of people donate soiled rubbish disguised as clothing that goes to landfill. I would have no doubt that Goodwill has partnerships with department stores...or else they wouldn't have anything to sell.
I think blaming this all on learners not realizing their missing potential is a bit one sided.

Other influences:

* Skill level of coworkers
* No time is dedicated by the team to abstractions / refactoring due to deadlines, or personal preference etc.
* The technology being used is limiting or used in a limiting way.

If you never push your boundaries you'll never get better. Going to 100% one time will have a lasting effect. If you instead only go to 80% all the time you'll only get better at doing a mediocre job.

However, the goals might be misaligned here: Your employer and coworkers might not be interested in your personal growth. Instead they want you to "Get stuff done."

That happened in my interview for my first real programming job. One of the founders kept making the scale of the problem harder and harder, and at a certain threshold, I no longer knew what to do. I said so, and what I would try to do to figure it out. At the time, I was sure I had failed the interview. Turns out, it was exactly what they were looking for, and my life has wildly changed for the better for having worked with that company.
SymPy is great!

I have used it to assist me in some formal proofs. (I hope to publish that later.)

Note that in my case, I hit a couple of bugs. See the GitHub issue tracker (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues). The bugs are easy to detect when you just get an exception (which was often the case for me). However, you can also simply get an incorrect result, which can be more tricky to detect. So be careful and maybe don't trust the results right away without double checking them in some other way.

Bubonic plague pops up relatively often and is curable with antibiotics.

It's not really such a big deal anymore.
I think the main reason is that science has simply become too hard to be explained in laymans terms in a way that you can still connect all the dots. Even plenty of scientists are now so narrow in their knowledge that within the same domain they won't be able to keep up with their peers if it isn't their exact specialization.

It's logical: in the renaissance a single individual could still hold 'all of science' in their heads, by the early 1900's that had split up into a whole bunch of domains each of which a single individual could still comprehend in their entirety. By the mid 1970s I don't think any single scientist still had complete command of their domain and that has only gotten worse.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, and this is not a sad thing per se, more of a measure of how far we have come and how quickly we've done that. The scientific method is the most amazing invention we've done, it succeeded where everything else has failed at explaining how the world and in fact much of the universe works.
I think it’s a bit of clickbait. My very initial impression was that this was going to be a strange sexualized analysis of how women of varying body types would look in tops sold by Goodwill. That was followed by “but that’s insane and this is on HN, it must be charts and graphs, hmm, better to click to confirm.”

You aren't using your own domain because Google may forget to renew their domain, you are using your own domain so you are not relying on Google to make your content available. If you are afraid that your registrar may kick you out, you should also be afraid that Google may kick you out too - which actually has a higher chance to happen than losing your own domain (assuming you are paying for it).

> A lot of business software is boring. It does not take skill to do.

I guess it depends on your definition of "skill". ERP systems are complex, full of problems, inflexible and managed by bean-counters with "battle-axe" personalities. If you look at the work holistically, it does take skill and experience. There is a lot of room for improvement in these systems but the problems involve people as much as they involve technology.
That's why I find this even funnier.

Honestly it doesn't sound like what you're describing. It's an editor and publisher for WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, Moveable Type, etc. Basically MarsEdit but for Windows.

What you're describing seems to be bundling an editor, a static site generator, an S3 syncing service and an S3/Cloudflare onboarding guide.
That sounds like a pretty standard STM (scanning tunneling microscope). They had a couple of those at the university I went to. We had to cut the tips ourselves with pliers, which was a quite annoying process as you couldn't see if they were sharp enough by eye (the tips were supposed to be only a few atoms thick). They seemed pretty cheap to construct, but they are not the same thing as a scanning electron microscope.
My title’s never gotten higher than “research scientist”, and i’ve more or less fastidiously kept a lab notebook for as long as i’ve been working.
