> ...especially the irrational “the math is against you”

nod I did not say what was in my brain which I followed up in another comment; it's all about time scale - if your plan is meager (+$100/mo) you only shave 5y off your final loan cost, which could probably be beat with a mutual fund instead. If your plan is aggressive (pay off in 5y) the return on investment for the following 25y using the full "mortgage payment" works out (money makes money) - but you must be disciplined and determined.

Edit: also just to share, I completely underestimated the reduction in cost of living which happened when I moved from a location where houses were very expensive to somewhere much more modest ($$$) but same type of community (nice street, nice neighbors, low crime, etc.). I ended up saving a lot of extra money by accident in just regular life things which I was able to roll over into the extra payoffs. I feel this accident in my math helped work in my favour very significantly to my overall plan, it took me a bit of "where is this extra money coming from?" reflection to realize my initial mistake in the plan. This could of course cut both ways, should you move into a more expensive community with a higher cost of living in your new house.
Updating the ortography once in a while would take care of most of the problems. There are real languages that have successfully made "updates" to reflect the shifts in pronunciation, or the usage of additional sounds (compared to Latin), unlike English.

The comparison is generous to Chinese characters. Even the world's worst speller, confronted with an uncommon English word, could make a guess at the spelling that's probably decipherable. If you forget a Chinese character you may not even be able to put the first stroke to paper.
The title is misleading: "kill my MacBook" vs "crash and reboot"
Maybe my view is merely more radical than tradition requires: if executors and operators of intention find themselves in an ethically ambiguous situation, crippled by analysis paralysis, the commander has failed to sufficiently articulate his intentions and directives and possibly even in the training of standards and requirements.

The entire purpose of commanders intent is to make the mission clearly known, and allow for decentralized decision making of the tactical day-to-day. It should never replace tradecraft, yet it also shouldn’t stand in the way of independent thinking either.

Instead, those ethical decisions should include commanders’s intent.

Gen. Bruce Clarke has a brilliant book on this, “About Face”-with many lessons on this echoed more recently by the likes of Gen. James Mattis (“Call-Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead”) and the popular Jocko Willink (“Leadership Strategies and Tactics-FM-02”). Therefore I say thusly: commander’s intent informs tradecraft, tradecraft is commander’s intent manifested.

Edit: I believe I got the Clarke book wrong, instead it appears to be a collection of his writings on leadership, he himself didn’t give it this name apparently.
Exactly. A check from my dad or my employer -- I'll spend that money as soon as its available. The check from the Nigerian prince -- I'll wait until Cleared before I send the money.
Not this year.
I'm sorry to say but this isn't a Chase specific problem. Chase is required by law to make the funds available after a couple days, just like all other banks. The OP's sister fell for a common scam that's been going on since forever, and Zelle warns you fairly explicitly to never send money to a stranger or else things like this could happen.

Of course Chase isn't going to eat a $3,000 loss because a customer fell for a common scam and ignored Zelle's warnings and didn't even do a cursory look through the bank agreement which clearly explains how checks clear.

The difference between the other services "taking responsibility" and "not shaking down their customers" and Chase Bank is that unlike a checking account, credit card transactions can be easily reversed. Once you send the money through Zelle, it's gone.

That your sister was victimized is clearly terrible, but it doesn't change the fact that her negligence caused her bank to lose 3 grand, and your father is liable as a cosigner as well. She is reasonably expected to recognize that Craigslist arrangement as too good to be true, and she ignored Zelle's admonitions not to send money to strangers.
I do not recognize posting a link, with its verbatim title, to a news aggregator as a "creative work."

In the couple of years that I've been here, I can only recall one instance of dang editing somebody's comment. He explained precisely what was changed, it was because a typo or something was causing the conversation to go sideways, it was after the edit window had closed, and the author thanked him for making the correction. As far as I can tell, the site maintainers are quite committed to transparency of that kind.

Maybe a "history" feature would be nice. OTOH, I appreciate that HN takes a very slow and deliberate approach to adding features to the site. Personally speaking, most social media crashes my phone browser, and HN is beautiful in its simplicity.

> It's kind of acting like a newspaper though?

If newspapers have live comments sections and don't contain the text of a vast majority of their stories... um, no. This isn't at all like a newspaper.
IMO fixing the unsafety is impossible, because doing so would mean re-evaluating the very core idea of C++ that C is a suitable substrate for building a safe, expressive language on. We know from years of experience that C has plenty of footguns of it's own, and fixing them is not possible without a fundamental redesign of the language. Therefore, the foundation of C++ is already rotten.

If that foundation were to be redesigned one'd have to get rid of the current near-100% compatibility with C, making the interop no longer an argument for using C++. Add the fact that most real-world C++ code will also be incompatible, and the strongest argument for using C++ is gone (namely, the impressive ecosystem size and maturity).

At that point there'd be no more justification for the existence of C++ over Rust (or another language that takes Rust's good ideas and supersedes it).
I mean I honestly don't think it was as much their fault as just me not being a good fit for the position.

I loved being a senior developer there, a very high percentage of my time was spent actually coding, always new and interesting projects.

I don't begrudge them. I just an not meant to manage people.
Vulpeck also made some noise with their album Sleepify, which was an album of silent tracks they used to game Spotify's pay for plays model. It made them ~$20,000 before Spotify took it down.

And to top it off, Hillary literally put the idea on the table that it would be just fine to drone strike journalist Julian Assange: https://archive.vn/DrLRO

So no, zero faith for things like laws to keep the government in check.
The other problem with this approach is that some proportion of perfectly legitimate funds likely will remain in pending for an inordinate amount of time, which dilutes the strength of the indicator in the first place.
Buffer was created in a different time/year in history. It was created when social media management was in the infancy and there were very few tools that did what they did (I know because I created a marketing product around the same time as them)

Now there are way less of those ideas available. And the ones that are available can’t be tested with a simple landing page.
The other thing that gets me is that "he had the courage to fight cancer and that's why he survived". As if those that did not had mental weakness to blame.
The Hays code (and MPAA ratings, etc.) was a preemptive effort to avoid congressionally imposed rules. If they hadn't followed the "de facto law", there would have been a real law.
What i looking for is a tool where no need to layered abstractions (like React or Vue or Svelte), easisier to understand but still stay performant.

So, i think it's the goal. Maybe browser vendor api needs to adopt it, else we have to have abstract over native browser api to do amazing things with browser.

Math Target: Brain training math game
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helloworld.mathtarget&hl=en_IN&gl=US

The #1 offline maths game for kids and adults.

Math Target is a wonderfully addictive puzzle game on maths which helps in improving your math calculation skills and also sharpens and improves your brain power. Play with operators and numbers and get fast at maths. It's a fun cool geeky maths puzzle game which can be played by users of all ages.

The Goal is simple - You are presented with few numbers and operators along with a target. Use the numbers and operators to achieve the target and gain points. Various combinations of numbers between 0 and 9 along with operators such as plus, minus, multiplication and division are available.

Math Target has three modes to satisfy every type of player. Race against the clock in Timed Mode or sit back and processed at your own pace in Levels and Moves mode. Achieve as many targets as possible and keep challenging yourself and beat your own highest score every time.

Different Game Modes:

1. Timed: Can you beat the clock? You'll be given 10 seconds to solve a target. If you solve the target within the time then you will be given 10 more seconds to solve the next one and so on. You can solve as many as possible and keep challenging yourself and beat your highest score.

2. Moves: Can you solve the target with limited number of moves? Use of an operator is counted as a move. This is one of the most exciting game mode, and is very challenging. Test your math skills here :)

3. Levels: Relax and play at your own pace. There are 1000+ levels and each level has 5-8 targets to achieve. Difficulty keeps increasing as you processed from one level to another.

Hint
If you have tried your best and are not able to move further because of a target, then you can use the hint option to get one possible way to solve your target.
I love his sense of humor:

Are they going to provide evidence, here? This is thin as water.

Facebook has been making life miserable for everyone by being entirely unpredictable in its ad provision and targeting. The rules and algorithms change willy-nilly, and reliable engagement is nigh impossible, and even more so when the media landscape of the left is fragmented across many separate sources and the media of the right is very centralized.

If we could see aggregate numbers for left/right, we'd get better answers. But somehow I doubt they can or will make those numbers known.
I’ve come to believe, despite the vast majority of rhetoric exhorting otherwise, that the psychopathy traits in alcoholics are simply enabled by the alcoholism, even to the extent of developing alcoholism as an excuse. Spend enough time in AlAnon and you will see it too, but of course, the people that realize that their situation is not really about alcohol, generally stop going.
Coincidentally, my son was recently scammed on Roblox with a similar scam. And what's crazy is that Roblox seems unwilling to fix it, or to rectify the situation, even though the complete paper trail is in their system and all of the currency/items are within their system. They could easily reverse it, like credit card companies do.

It's amazing how little effort these institutions put into trying minimize damage to good customers.
I get the benefits of SaaS. I get the benefits of hosting things in your own infra.

Why can’t Atlassian licence their private docker images and allow companies to host things in their private cloud?

Like why isn’t paying for docker images with k8s yaml files that you can host on your own cluster a thing ?

I would pay for that.
Nothings stops you from learning whatever second language you want.

I think having English as a native language actually gives us a huge advantage: we can travel to a large chunk of the world and have a pretty good chance of being understood. We can work in globally relevant jobs with no language barrier. And so on.
Whilst the suggested UI fixes will help, this seems less of a UI problem, and more of a checks are inherently insecure problem.

Most western countries have moved away from checks - with the exception of bank cheques or money orders for certain, specific cases.

I'm not sure why this is downvoted (maybe a lot of FB employees are here). But this is a valid question. 'Deals' with politicians is how engaging with DC works (quid pro quo is the norm).
Same reason Americans use Phillips head screws instead of something sensible like square drive. Network effects. It may not be ideal but you can get by with it, and most other people are using it as well. Some might look north wistfully, but most around them continue using what they know.

And keep in mind, switching to square drive would be easy. Screwdriver sets already come with square drive bits, and hardware stores sell square drive fasteners. Robertson's patents expired generations ago. If America can't drop Phillips head screws, do you really think there is any chance for replacing the Latin alphabet? Let's get real.
This is such a common scam that I really think it should be taught in schools.

Whenever you hear someone propose to give you a check in return for you depositing your cash directly somewhere, it is always a scam, always. There is no legitimate reason anyone would ever do this, and I've seen it happen multiple times to multiple people, and even to small charity organizations that almost went bankrupt because of this.

We need some sort of anti-scam class in like high school or something. Just the ability to recognize the most common scams in the world would protect a lot of people.

>Of course. I have a wide variety of coworkers with a wide variety of opinions of my skill-set. I'd select the ones that I think would resonate best with you.

Could it be that you have people who will give you good references because you're a good developer?

>Barring that I have half a dozen friends that would tell you whatever I want them to.

So if I pull those friends up on linked in, they're developers too, and you'll have some plausible overlapping work history?

> I fail to see how references are any sort of magic bullet.

It's not a magic bullet. But faking 10 years of development work history and multiple decent quality references is a fairly high bar. It's not going to catch everyone but neither is whiteboarding. The goal shouldn't be to catch everyone.

Sometimes you make a bad hire. Despite every test you put someone through, you'll get false positives. The problem is that if you ratchet your test up to far to avoid false positives, you end up turning off good engineers, or failing good engineers.

I think the problem is that the company wasn't willing to just admit they made a mistake and fire the guy, not that he was hired in the first place. America (assuming you're in the US) has nearly unrestricted at will employment. Why are you so afraid of hiring one bad employee? If you can't identify bad employees after a few weeks of working with, you have zero chance identifying them before you hire them.

Maybe instead of spending months trying to find the perfect candidate, just do what literally every other industry does and hire experienced candidates based on reputation, resume, talking to them about the job and past projects, and fire them if it turns out they were completely lying to you.
I was feeling miserable.at a previous company. Lots of oncall. Poor choices in engineering. Lack of management support. I asked a friend on how to deal with this? He told me to check-in on my mood a week later if it doesn't change quit. I quit after a week. BEST decision, half the team evaporated in six months. I took six months off cleared my head, joined a better place. Your health is number 1 that's it.

This in my mind is the biggest reason to go this way over alternatives.
I'm not discounting the possibility. But even if he's right on every objective question and we agree with his value judgments, a claim that we need immigration policy reform is inherently political, and we need to acknowledge that in order to effectively understand the situation.
It's not useless cynicism, it's a sober approach. Understanding that the influence of politicians is delimited by their knowledge, the as well as monied, and bureaucratic interests.

I vote in every election I can, national to local. But ultimately you have to understand that in most cases, unless you're willing to dedicate your life to political advocacy (an exhausting route filled with small corruptions, traps of necessity that threaten your principals, and unpleasant people) you're choosing to adjust the angle of the rudder within a certain margin, not the trajectory or shape of the ship.
I had to read your post and the GP post multiple times and I'm still confused. It doesn't seem like you're talking at all to what they said but are stating a very well worn argument for free speech, that is, if some speech is to be curtailed, then all speech is under threat of being curtailed.

But the GP was precisely talking about how even though many would say "we have freedom of speech", what that actually means in practice falls far short of the mark. We "have freedom of speech" in the sense that many people hold the ideology. But holding an ideology is very different from having that ideology realized.
I wrote a few applications for projects.

I got one project that took 6 months.

I repeated.

As a dev I would make enough money in 3 months to pay my fix costs for a year. So, I only needed 1-2 projects per year.

If you write 10 applications a month, which isn't much, and you only need 2 projects a year, you only have to succeed at 2%, which isn't that hard.
Yes, of course. But that was not the point I was making. Personally I find alphabets to be superior for that reason. But to be fair, I also don't know Chinese!
Conspiracy theory.
I used to have one of those Apple thunderbolt displays and without getting into all the same technical stuff I can say it is likely that it did the same thing. I tried it on at least five computers and always had the same problem - machine would go to sleep and kernel panic on wake. Took display to shop - “nothing wrong with it”.

This is completely anecdotal:

If you find yourself on Rackspace hosting I would absolutely migrate to something more mature. Personally I've had great luck with Digital Ocean and Linode for basic/affordable VPS hosting, with AWS being a great cloud provider with an incredible tool-box at your disposal. Hell, GPC, Azure... there's just so many better options.

IMO Rackspace has been on a steady decline for years. They were a choice provider back in the early 2000's when a managed/unmanaged beige box/shared cPanel/Plesk hosting was common. Back then their support was incredible. Sometime around 2010 though things started to go down hill, and I experienced more and more support issues with them. These would range from annoying all the way to "that shouldn't happen" (like losing volumes, which happened to me).

The final straw was when a dedicated server was turned down by mistake, causing a major outage for 20+ of my clients at the time. This was 10 years ago and I've never looked back. They did a pretty good job at turning me into an advocate against their services.

Oh and the Slicehost transition was crap too. That sucked to get over to a first-gen VPS provider only to have it sucked right back into the beast that you were trying to escape from in the first place...

Sorry for the mini rant. I'm still not over the PTSD that Rackspace has caused me.
A landing page != a prototype.
I played the game for a while, and have to say that the game is really good & interesting.
However, I have a suggestion regarding the timer part. Having different type of difficulty mode in the timer would be useful for those who really want to challenge themselfes.
Quite an assumption that vaccines and therapeutics will arrive within "the coming months" (weasel words if ever I heard them).
No one cared about free speech until Trump was elected. Propaganda isn't anything new, it's used by demagogues to blame society's woes on [insert scapegoat here]

Rather than address society's woes (there are so many in the US) We're just told it's somehow different this time, because it's digital. This just doesn't hold up when you see that this story has played out many times in the past, it's predictable to anyone paying attention.
I generally support the sentiment.

However the biggest arguments I can see are around security and counterfeiting.

I don’t want to worry about whether the device I’m buying has been compromised with replacement parts that leak data, or render otherwise render the device insecure.
This concern usually stems from the idea that the energy used by the Bitcoin network could be otherwise used for more productive functions. But if, like many, you believe that bitcoin can succeed in becoming a decentralized world currency, the reality is that there may be no greater, more important use of energy than to secure the integrity of a monetary network which coordinates economic activity at a global level.

I highly recommend this piece (which I'm paraphrasing here) if you're interested in the topic:
