Yeah, this is a setup issue, not a work-from-home issue. If possible a separate office with closable door is ideal, then just be really strict that when your office door is closed, you're at work and not to be disturbed. It took me a few months to train my family to respect this but they're pretty good about it now.

After reading Tim Urban's article 52 weeks, I made a simple excel spreadsheet with 12*4=48 columns, & 90 rows. Each row is January 1 of year, first row being my birth year. All data, color, shading is manual.

Each column is 1 week having dotted vertical border, each month 4 weeks, having solid border. Any event happening between 1st & 7th of month means first week, between 8-14 2nd week, 15-21 3rd week & 22nd & onwards is 4th week. My birth, schoop start, 5th, 8th, 10th class of school, college, first job, my sibling's births, my major family events, my movings to other cities countries, my travels all get a concise text note. Me staying on an address gets same shade for the duration.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was this was almost certainly some sort of precursor/inspiration for the Facebook Portal which is a video conference focused smart....thing. I'd say your #1 is really on point.
Pretty much everything you've described would either require the candidate to be wealthy or to be from a family having immense wealth and the connections that go with wealth.
> There were only 150,000 or so BBC Micros in the world at that point, so the ratio was almost 1:1, one copy of Elite for every computer that could run it.

Now I'm curious. How many players who made it to Elite Elite are currently members of the anorak elite?
Another one is when one language uses a single word for two meanings which the other language has split. An example I cam across is when I translated the word "amber" meaning the orange color and the translation came out the other end as a word that purely means "fossilized sap"
> If Silicon Valley (the satirical TV show) had a book version, it would look something like this.

This can't be farther than the truth. I advise you at least try to peruse it a bit before resorting to such commentary. The point isn't to make money at all.
It might be better to simply switch to the LGPL v3 or later, since that explicitly addresses header libs.
I do like Peter Ustinov's versions. Very different but delightful with a sense of humour. His "swimming" in Evil Under The Sun is a silly thing that has stuck with me forever.
Anyone who has had an intact pet dog or cat know that they can smell a potential mate in heat from miles away. How? Smell.

Even silk moths will find mates because of smell. Insects do it..birds and dogs and cats do it. The human being is just another ape.
That is factully incorrect. Even if Germany had left nuclear on a level of 1995 and replaced aging plants with new plants of the same capcity the net nuclear output combined with renewables would not be enough to offset coal/gas/oil. See https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromerzeugung

I'm not in India, but as far as I know, at least alexa.com and behance.net were blocked for long periods of time. I think NYTimes got unblocked fairly quickly.

Somewhat recent report of Alexa.com being blocked (July 2020): https://twitter.com/anandakrsn/status/1284763939427905536?s=...

Report of Behance being blocked on Aug, 2020: https://twitter.com/prabhjotjolly/status/1295623006358650880...

As the article explains, the blocking is very inconsistent.

The article also links to a github repo with some of the blocked hostnames they recently detected:
https://github.com/kush789/How-India-Censors-The-Web-Data/bl...

You can see that the list includes alexa.com and behance. It also includes lots of others like craigslist.co.in, ABC.net.au, bleacherreport.com. From personal experience, I know that these are just a tiny subset of legitimate websites that have been blocked (and perhaps later unblocked) for seemingly no reason and have no clear recourse.
I've used it for uni assignments the last few years. Only complaints are that sometimes I can't find the thing I need, and sometimes font rendering is weird (usually fixed by re-selecting the broken text?) Great piece of software, congrats on 10 years.

There's a blind corner near the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Giant "no crossing" signs. Pedestrians get hit all the time. It used to be standard for the police to write tickets to the person who got hit if they lacked life threatening injuries.

Then one time the person who got hit died in the hospital from a pre-existing condition, so they stopped writing the tickets.
That may be true, but you'll need to update you public key anywhere you use the `ssh-rsa` method; i.e. my github public keys[1] will all need updating.

I use this set, statically copied, in most of my various machines and logins. You can generate a `rsa-sha2-512` public key for your existing private key, but for most people the update is less confusing to generate a new key than to use a new private key. Only in scenarios where you have the same private key across several machines do you save any time, and I (and security professionals) have been advising against that for ages.

As a terminal user, nearly all the time, I'm mostly inside the terminal so they don't make as much sense to me.

However I'm not _always_ a terminal user. Sometimes I'm a browser user and sometimes I have to use spreadsheets too.

In these contexts I use other programs which have GUI's, sometimes quite minimal, like a screenshot app for example.

I can certainly imagine getting a spreadsheet into a defined set of columns and then executing another app which asks a set of questions and then does something with that data, maybe even only draws a graph (as I despize drawing graphs in spreadsheets).

In this context, I feel that I may well write BASH, but opening a terminal would be as jarring as leaving it under normal circumstances...

So I feel these kind of tools are useful.

Shameless plug: Funnily I'm working on the opposite. Integrating STDIN/STDOUT into the GUI via a WebView, because I want that command line control but I there are occasions where there are benefits in using a GUI (graphs etc) - https://github.com/forbesmyester/wv-linewise
How about just as an exercise in actually having fun? I'm sure there are several qualified hardware engineers at Facebook and the company has plenty of money. All of the off-the-shelf solutions to this problem are complete garbage, so they just decided to make a better one. For fun.
A lot of vipers died to make me Elite. Its one of my proudest achievements but in truth, I sat outside a space-station and leant a book on one of the buttons of the analogue joystick!
Some 70 cm. That's right, about half of diameter of these cylinders are concrete walls.

For comparison, Schwerer Gustav shells weighed about the same as A380 engine, were mostly hardened solid steel, arrived on target at about Mach 2 and could penetrate some 7 meters of concrete (including the explosive charge).

You can help yourself to a F-4 vs concrete test that doesn't really make a dent in about 1m of concrete.

In many states of the US, cars are never granted right of way over pedestrians. Instead pedestrians are required to yield the right of way to cars outside of crosswalks.

It's an important distinction because it places a legal burden on the driver to attempt to avoid hitting a pedestrian.

The issue is the long-standing gentleman’s agreement not to enforce the laws regarding classified information against journalists. The computer intrusion charge is prosecutors’ strategy to get him behind bars while preserving that tradition. Give the facts here, he probably would be acquitted. But then the government might decide to use the classified information laws, under which it has a slam-dunk case. Prosecutorial policy convention is not due process. Those charges are what he really has to fear if he’s extradited.
That's great for you! Many babies cry a lot and make it difficult for one parent to care for them, shop for groceries, prepare food, etc. My friends and I have found that mothers who are nursing at all hours are generally too tired to do everything else around the house, especially if there are other kids.

Glad to hear there are some folks whose kids don't require as much care, but I'd say most moms would say that they are sleep-deprived and not fully functional for months after the baby is born. It might not take another full-time adult, as you say, but it sure is helpful to have the father around to take care of things and give the mother some respite.
The Evolution of “Code Cohesion” and “Separation of Concerns”
I loved the monthly articles about Elite that let slip various secrets. They were so exciting. I'm not sure many players would have found the missions without them. It's hilarious how anti-user classic games were!

This is really valid criticism which not only Naval is guilty, but most of the other intellectual personas on Twitter too.

I've always been interested not just in the ideas per se (which are often useful, no doubt) but also how they came to be, and I've had more than one instance where I wanted to trace back where they adapted the idea and I can't find it that easily.

That said, it may be the medium's fault, as the inherent character limit only allows for so much information that references and relevant information are considered way lesser in terms of priority... which in turn I think says something about the nature of ideas themselves.
I have a similar story.

We had a classroom like yours, with BBC Micros and special BBC fileserver computer of some kind, with the important school stuff on it.

My fun command was a one-liner that repeatedly remote-PEEKed the server's keyboard buffer memory and displayed it on one of the classroom computers.

One day, when the teacher went over to the special server corner to type in the server password, I quickly entered this one-liner into a computer in the main area, and lo as teacher typed the password thinking it was all very private and special, it appeared key by key on my screen. Of course all the children were watching my screen, "hey watch this...".

Yes, the folly of youth :-)

That got me permanently banned from the computer room. I didn't expect that, I thought we'd all laugh it off and tell me not to do it again. Ironically, knowing more about computers than anyone else in the school, I wasn't allowed to study computers at school or use them.

Still won a programming competition there anyway, for making a pretty demo to tell a story :-)
I have perused it, considerably. Perhaps Naval's best "work", if you can call it that, is entitled How to Get Rich.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-TZqOsVCNM

Right off the bat, he makes some pretty silly arguments, such as: people/journalists only criticize the rich because they're playing a status game and want to be rich too. That's it. It really is that simple according to Naval.

His entire oeuvre has the same level of intellectual calibre.
I basically quit my job without income and got freelance clients after traveling for a while. That might be not everyone's cup of tea so probably better to get that sorted before leaving. There are quite a lot of fully remote jobs now but tons of competition and mostly "US only". Freelancing is probably the fastest way to get remote income. Best is to have some kind of retainer deal for x/month in my opinion, instead of always hunting new projects. SaaS or any kind of online business is more of a long term play.

Larry Miller is a pioneering game programming god. Epoch, Hadron, and Minotaur were so good and so different from everything else. Does anyone know what he has been up to since then?
Without types, the complexity is shoved elsewhere (in someone’s head). Types make the inputs and outputs explicit.

He is right about a good type system being able to infer and being smart at the same time allow placing enough guards around things to truly express the authors intentions of how things ought to be used.

One of the reasons why I am not a fan of golang. It’s type system is not that great. You have to do a lot of hacks and copy pasta.

Rust, C# and Typescript get it. Python with its new py3 typings syntax is great but it still needs a lot of work to be able to express things like Union types, nullable types, partial types, Recursive types , conditional types, type transforms, genetics etc.

There’s a lot that goes on in a good type system. The balance of letting the user express their problem at the same time keeping errors meaningful and preserving the code guarantees.
In most cases: no. ESNI is still a draft and most sites are identifiable by IP only.
You probably won't get a reply. At least a rational one. I experienced similar sentiment here on HN when discussion the topic of freedom a while back.

Reporters without borders is probably one of the best sources to evaluate the quality of Freedom of Press worldwide.

But for some people arguing that not all is great with their freedom in the US challenges a part of their identity. And that makes rational discussion at least difficult.

As an example:
Growing up near the Iron Curtain (on the western side) I believed for a long time, that we were the universally free side, while there was no freedom in the east.

During the last 10 years or so I realized that there were freedoms on the other side I didn't know of. And have never had in this so called free society.

I came to realize that there are different freedoms and that every society has different limits to these freedoms. Sometimes even within one country there are different limits to the same freedom for different social groups. Take Germany for example. The freedom to receive a good to great education depends massively on the affluency of one's family. There is nearly no chance of social movement for the poor. Or take the freedom to tell your boss what a bad idea it is to increase dividends for shareholders by 10% while letting people go (with the official reason being told is, that the company is struggling) and telling the rest, that there is no mt enough earnings to warrant a raise. I know people who were fired because of this.

Or take the outcry at Google when someone at Google published an internal mail with right wing leaning (if I remember correctly).

I am very much left leaning, but I would not challenge some parts of the ideological agendas being pushed at my workplace because I fear being ostracized.

So to make a long argument short I think freedom isn't an absolute. And the ideology behind it is often part of someone's identity. That makes rational discussion difficult.
> Probably with the exception of Fukushima, where all the conditions were put into the extreme - killer earthquake and monster tsunami.

Stop being an apologist for Fukushima.

It was entirely preventable:

1) Any SV Data Center auditor would have asked, "Explain the backup generators, fuel systems and resupply to me.", then immediately busted the audit for Fukushima. Would have cost less than $20,000. So we know that "nuclear regulators" are complete idiots.

2) It was built on a known-tsunami coastline with warning markers on the beaches built after the previous tsunamis. But there's no replacement for common sense.
One of the most visited countries in the world. We are all well aware of the reputation they have for sex tourism so anyone going there really needs to embrace the idea that Thailand isn’t quite the same as a typical western country.

I have no great interest in going (I live in Taiwan and the average review I hear for a family vacation isn’t very flattering) but if I were I would be really careful. Most people woefully lack an underground/crime IQ and don’t know how to act in certain situations, often refuse to listen to reason.

I used to work as a bouncer for years after I got sick of corporate work and every once in a while some jackass or Karen would work up the nerve to get weird with the HA guys wearing their vests or getting snarky about calling cops on local dealers who are actually not working per se but trying to unwind with a drink. Honestly, some people get it in their head that they are untouchable because they are “good people” and the cops will protect them. Most people aren’t stupid like this so going on vacation to Thailand has a 99.99% likelihood of being ok.

Like think of someone who is warned about being careful in Mexico and then they petulantly do exactly the opposite. I’m sure Thailand attracts tons of idiots.

What now? How? It’s getting better by the day but translation is one of the places where it has done more damage than good. It teaches language students incorrect grammar and hinder students from changing their thought pattern.

“- Milk tea or regular tea? -Yes!” Yes is the proper response in some languages. You can either change the language or your mindset.

And it’s not like these things are one offs, all languages are basically a bunch of quirks.

No doubt it’s the way of the future but I’d wait for the researchers to improve translation a lot.

That’s impressive indeed! When I was 12ish I was just struggling with BASIC and PASCAL on PC.

No, the poster means 25%. 2 months is approximately 8 weeks, and they are presuming that you and your SO's "week" don't overlap, which is likely, so there will be 2 weeks every 2 months where you don't see each other: the week you travel, and the week your SO travels. 2 weeks / 8 weeks is 25%.

Apart from the privacy issue that it is giving the police passenger and driver information (GPS/address movement details?)

This suggests that criminals are stupid enough to traffick people and drugs using Uber? Unless they're using burner credit card and phone for each trip this would seem to be a bad idea. A couple of extra minutes they could hail a black cab or call a mini cab that would atleast need a little effort for the police to track.

I have worked in law and tech. I have seen many men who took hardly any time off in law firms because it was heavily frowned upon. In tech, it is much less frowned upon, as evidenced by the fact that many big tech companies offer the same leave to fathers as mothers.

I believe the reason for the different behavior is not that lawyer dads don't care about their kids/wives as much as techie dads. Rather, I believe it is because in the cultural context, they feel pressure not to take much leave. So by putting pressure on companies to make the option a real one for fathers, I think we could make fathers happier (and kids/mothers also) by allowing them to choose the option that they would want if they could do so without repercussions.

Also, there is something to be said for leveling the playing field for mothers. So while I will agree that we don't want to force people to do anything (and my suggestion actually does not force anyone to do anything), there can still be valid reasons that a society would want to incentivize people in certain ways for the good of the society as a whole.
it looks like the "on-sites" are only relevant in the first weeks when someone is hired. If an employee has learned to work consistently remotely, what's the point of having the burden of flying in every few months.
