> +1 for the minimal

You used it correctly. The term minimal has been hijacked to mean something entirely different these days. It often means “I’ve thrown away important bits so the design looks sexy, I can list it on SiteInspire and get kudos from my friends for following too much white space and anti-functionalism trends”.

> HN-friendly design

We need to own this. When newcomers, youngsters and uninformed people want to be inspired, they’ll instead see this as “Old fashioned, grumpy, nerdy HN-friendly design”. There, we killed it already.

That said - This web design has some short comings. For me the legibility is compromised by using a fixed width typeface, line-spacing is too tight and paragraph column width is too large.
We are NOT all the same, some are better some are very bad. But it has nothing todo with twitch or HN.
This is what's happened with housing benefit in the UK[1], it's basically a subsidy to businesses in high rent areas. It was £500M a week, I shudder to think what it is now.

Standard principal-agent problem.

It can be somewhat mitigated by hiring better agents (finding doctors that are more interested in patient outcomes than their OV/day stat). Unfortunately this usually means private physicians who don't usually take insurance; the costs are usually 2-10x higher.

Quality customized personal service from highly trained professionals costs Real Money, something I've not yet found a good workaround for. Insurance for catastrophes can mitigate it for unexpected outcomes but in the long run insurance for something everyone needs (basic medical attention and care) is going to approximate 100% of the actual costs of hiring those vendors.

Finding extremely good personal services vendors (attorney, accountant, doctor, dentist, trainer) is one of the most important investments in oneself that anyone can make. It can literally make or break you.
I don’t know this lady or her struggles, but the article paints a very clear picture of someone with childhood-onset bipolar disorder who has gone from manically creative highs to depressing lows.

Strangely, there was no mention of it, aside from “relentless anxiety and depression, eating disorders, exercise addiction, obsessive-compulsive tendencies.” All of these are common comorbidities in bipolar individuals.

randompwd described "beyond the pale" as a racist slur and an example of anti-Irish racism. Sounds like they're calling Irish people a race to me.

Or they're confused and think "racist" is synonymous with "bigot." It's not, it's bigotry against people of a certain race (or not of a certain race). I've seen a couple of instances of people using "racist" when race wasn't a factor; they meant "bigot" or "prejudiced" and I assumed they didn't have a broad vocabulary that included those more accurate words.

DropWizard is great. Spring Boot was based off it.

If you want performance above all else, Vert.X isn't too hard to use. But the async API's are a PITA, much like ExpressJS.
It's not impossible but it does require some relatively unfamiliar architectural approaches coupled with a lot more use of formal methods.

I think you may be making a false assumption that sophisticated and interesting technology reflects some sort of moral intention.

I find it at least a tad disingenuous to ponder this "What could this soon-to-be-very-wealthy technologist possibly have been thinking?" line of thought. It's cliche at this point.

> IMO, cryptocurrency seems like a religion.

That implies a sincerity in their beliefs.

While it's difficult to figure out what people's true motivations are, the promotion of new cryptocurrencies, the "get in early" rhetoric, leads me to believe most cryptocurrencies are little more than pyramid schemes. The ability to mint/mine/farm currency without paying in directly doesn't really negate that since it is intended to become more difficult as time progresses. The actual value comes from speculative investments from a growing number of people.

Article is striking in its contradictions. Amtrak it is said was approaching profitability but somehow has $30 billion dollars of needed repairs on the North East Corridor routes?

The government already does that in terms of food stamps.

> It sounds like this was the diagnosis he was given.

Not quite. He cites the specific diagnosis the doctor gave him and the associated DSM-5 code, but his extrapolation about dopamine and glucose is not part of that diagnosis. It’s not actually physically possible as he describes it.

This is a decent overview of the exact diagnosis he cites: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/conversion-di...

In short: It’s a stress-triggered disorder that doesn’t correspond to specific physical conditions, contrary to how he describes it.
Semi-unrelated; I’ve been using reverb to sell a bunch of my gear for the past few months or so and the experience has been pretty good. It’s essentially eBay but curated which is a great idea.

For the one actually “large/expensive” piece of equipment I sold Craigslist worked much better, though. I was unwilling to ship or insure it.
My first “real” job was dishwasher with extra kitchen duties as time allowed, and bussing if it got too busy for the waitresses to keep up. The chef was a hard-ass but had the work ethic to back it up.

It was actually a pretty high status job for a 14 year old in a small town. Minimum wage plus a small but fair share of tips so if you had to hustle you knew it’d be rewarded.

I couldn’t do that kind of work now physically, but it remains my favorite among the many jobs I’ve had.
I build on-premise cloud solution and to test a full end2end was taking 12hours.

There is every reason to believe that higher female agreeableness is due biological sex differences, given

1. the evidence, which I'd be happy to share if you're actually open to having your views changed

2. females bear children and have been the primary caregivers of young children throughout all of human evolution, which is going to apply massive selective pressure for sex-mediated traits in females conducive to nurturing children, like agreeableness
IMHO, the books I've bought from InformIT are not that bad. They're only watermarked, and were useful. IDK, maybe because they're not geared towards universities.

I'd happily stand corrected though.
That is not correct. Cicero in his Laws Book I emphatically states right and wrong as attributable what is proper and improper vis-a-vis Nature. That is to say, what is consistent or what is contradictory to natural action. This is in no way related to believing in a higher (and I suppose you mean) personal authority - and which he uses to demonstrate the wonderful idea of “Natural Law” as that which is supreme to any man.
> We need to learn more about them. And it can't happen a moment too soon.

Ok, does that include you? Go! I looked up Wilgie Mia. Apparently a 20-metre deep hole in the ground, an ochre source. Hmm. Couldn't find anything online resembling a school by that name, assuming you don't mean the rock art site whose "existence had been forgotten until its 2006 rediscovery". I'm not sure what "longest successful oral tradition" means exactly. (What does "successful" mean there? Are there unsuccessful oral traditions? And what does it come to besides "no writing system"?) ...And don't we all have "over 67,000 years of culture and heritage"?
Maybe serotonin syndrome? That causes seizure like stuff and mania.
An extreme example since you asked a very absolute question:

I sell software to the Chinese government to track down dissidents and kill them with drones. I release a lot of code under a GPL license and use the funds to promote OSS software. Most people wouldn't consider this a positive for the world even though more GPL software is created. Or in other words many people do not believe that "the ends justify the means" is a valid reason for something.
I don't see how anyone can give you useful information without knowing more about the pipeline and the projects, and as everyone's pipelines/projects are going to work differently (I do web dev work, so pipelines are relatively simple, I can imagine that a game dev team creating Windows/Mac/Linux builds might have multi-hour pipelines though).

Anyway as the question is "How Long Is Your CI Process", here we go!

I have two main types of pipelines, both running on a self-hosted GitLab instance which runs on an 8th-gen i3 Intel NUC. No project is particularly massive.

1. PHP Projects. Run PHPStan + unit tests on each branch. Most projects take 1-5 mins. On master, run PHPStan + unit tests, build a Docker image, and use Helm to deploy to managed Kubernetes on DigitalOcean. This takes 5-10 mins.

2. React Projects, again not massively huge, but sizable. Biggest time is to run ESLint on every branch. About 5 mins (due to very poor caching which I keep meaning to fix). On master, run ESLint, create a Docker image, and deploy to managed Kubernetes. 5-10 mins.

There are opportunities to improve this by fixing/optimising caching. Overall I'm reasonably happy with the pipeline performance. I'm also sure that upgrading the hardware would make a big difference, probably more so than fixing the caching; an i3 isn't really ideal but this machine does well overall for my small team.

I would think there is a write limit in the warranty.

If that is the case, it's more a question of whether the advertised lifetimes are dishonest marketing or not. I guess most people shopping the warranty would understand "years or write limit" well enough.

I would say they aren't telling you what you can do with it, they are just telling you what uses they will cover under warranty. In this case, it's likely that a legal requirement to cover the drives under warranty for this use would cause the price to go up or the product to be pulled.
There's a major difference between personally targeted advertising tracking you across your entire life, and broadly targeted things like billboards and TV ads though.
AFAIK, when it's mild your brain is not actually starved of glucose at all, and hypoglycemic symptoms (e.g. brain fog) are caused by your endocrine system changing hormone levels (such as cortisol) to "signal" your body that it needs glucose to increase blood sugar levels. If it gets severe enough, then the brain can run out of glucose and the person can die - but AFAIK the body prioritises the brain for fuel above all else, so it really is the last thing to go.
> Should the calculation of capital gains take inflation into account?

There is a good argument that capital gains, for fairness, should be taxed the same as other income, on a value calculated by adjusting the basis value for inflation. (Which is very different from maintaining current policy but for adjusting basis value.)

But fairness doesn’t seem to be a motivating principle of the existing capital gains tax in the first place. If you look at it as an effort to encourage the shortest possible “long-term” holding, the existing policy makes perfect sense.
We implemented our own mock ec2 metadata service for KVM cloud-init, probably the most fun project I've worked on.

I took lexapro (anti depression drug, ssri class drug). It took about 1 month to be mostly functional again and about six months to be back to normal.

I took all the pressure off, stopped coding but continued university. I still finished the semester with excellent grades - but it was business school.

Never experienced anything like that ever again. I work hard, usually 7 days a week, but I'm careful not to push past my limits and I keep stress down, exercise, sleep well, and try to eat healthyish.
What do you mean "subjective"? These are claims about objective reality, which can be proven or disproven with facts. I think you're confused about what 'subjective' means.

I have a lot happen to me but at this point I know these people from medical industry just don't have proper answers and will parrott you what they have been thought or heard because they need to make paychecks otherwise they are screwed like everyone. Also they cannot identify this major social symptom, showing how little they really understand complex systems. Medical students are chosen through a very competitive process and game that doesn't ressemble real theory at all. It merits parroting, memory, and greed. Psychologist are perfect analogs to priests, and psychiatrists are at this point glorified drug dealers.
In this case, why bothering operating a restaurant at all (it's a terribly terribly complex business to manage)? Just buy real estate and sit on it?

I always wondered how restaurants even work - how can owners be motivated to keep themselves in this endless, poorly paid grind. In my opinion, when this is not about large chains that are effectively self-reproducing machines that don't depend on any people's motivation, it's mostly either hobbies (someone runs it to keep himself busy and feel beneficial to the society during retirement, for example), or just failures (someone foolishly believes there's a massive amount amount of money to make, gets burned, and vacates the space to leave it to the next one). Yours truly have been that sort of person in my younger years (when it was a lot easier, as industry professionals say!).

And yes, i can easily understand how can one become a dick being a restaurant owner. You deal with people who are paid poverty wages (there is no choice here), who can't be motivated with anything but threat of losing their jobs, have no work ethic (or they'd be doing something better), and in general can't be trusted in anything at all. You become paranoid and you quickly learn to disrespect people. I can feel that guy, don't judge him so heavily.

This is a hellish business to do and anyone who envies them is a fool.

I'd embrace Rushabh Doshi's points as the first set of core principles you should agree on and document, so your team could execute on it. You can change and define it as you see fit, but just like it's important to agree on "Definition of Done" (DoD) before starting a task, you want to define how to measure and treat quality.
In fall 2008 I moved from Long Island to New Hampshire (for family reasons) and found a job in a small niche B2B shop doing C# Windows apps. On my first day of work, I notice the receptionist desk has a stack of McCain/Palin 2008 bumper stickers. The next couple of months were filled with employees talking non-stop about the election, from their deeply conservative point of view. Being quite progressive left-leaning this was pretty frustrating and distracting to listen to while I tried to just get some work done. They all seemed to believe Obama would send people to their door to take away their guns and assault rifles, and somehow also turn us into the Soviet Union.

The thing is, these weren't bad people. They took a chance on an self-taught programmer / art-school dropout in their late 20s with 1 year of professional experience, and they treated me well. When I moved back to New York (for other dramatic family reasons), the CEO offered for me to stay at their own house. I just didn't agree with their political opinions. I think for most folks working in tech hubs its just the other way around, where they are in a left-leaning bubble and its hard to imagine another POV. Coming from someone who was on the outside, I can say for me it was at best distracting and at worst alienating, and I can see why companies want to put an end to it.
I bought my first Mac, a G4 PowerBook, in 2005, to develop a Prime minicomputer emulator. I needed a CPU with big-endian byte-order to start this project. I had never used a Mac previously - only Windows and Linux.

The first 2 weeks were not pleasant and I almost returned the Mac. But I gradually got used to it, kept it, and did finish the emulator project, which now runs on little-endian CPUs too.

Now, 15 years later, I have dumped all my Windows machines, and while I use Linux on cloud VMs, I'd never try to get Linux running on a personal system. Every time I have tried (4-5x in the last 15 years), it has always turned into a time sink, with various things not working, and I just give up.

I am not big into customizing my environment. That also can become a huge time sink, and to me, it's for little gain. I need Emacs, some command line language tools, and I'm good.

Where Mac shines for me is: a) everything works without a lot of esoteric research into why my wireless breaks after a sleep (for example); b) Apple has GUI tools to do system administration; c) if I lookup how to do something with OSX, the answers are all mostly relevant. If I lookup how to do something unusual with Linux, like why my wireless doesn't work after sleep, there are many answers, but they are all dependent on which distribution of Linux is used, how it is configured, which exact version it is, what hardware I'm using, what rev of hardware I'm using, etc. It's just a lot more complicated.

I love Linux, don't get me wrong. I just hate sysadmining it. When I did it regularly because I owned a web company and had to nurse 5 servers, Linux sysadmin was easier because I had to do it, did it often enough that I didn't forget things, and had control of the configuration. But sysadmining a Linux laptop is a pain that I'd rather avoid by just using a Mac.
So what? This is unfortunate but in no way implies that a valid response is "might as well just help them instead". That's not better.

Hearing someone even present this sort if argument makes me wish I could turn their lack of empathy back on themselves. How about we have psyche tests and anyone who would so lightly let other people die, are killed themselves?

Somehow I bet you would say that's immoral and outrageous.
Please stop the political FUD.

1 The schematics are already on the web (so China can download them)

2 the iPhones are made in China(hope you are not shocked or have some health insurance for you paranoia, imagine what does evil Chinese factories put into your iPhone!!!) so China already has not only the repair schematics but all the blueprints for assembling stuff.

3 China has competent people that could open a phone or laptop and make a repair schematic from scratch

Conclusion, China already has the schematics, your argument is FUD or a conspiracy to prevent non-Chinese to get legal access to those schematics.

Yeah, I'm a type 1 diabetic and nothing about this person's post made sense. It's just not how blood glucose works. There's not a store of glucose in the brain that can just suddenly be depleted because you worked too much. Glucose travels in the blood and its uptake is regulated by insulin. If he was suffering from hypoglycemia he would feel effects in his entire body, and it would be at least temporarily resolved by eating sugar.
