Patents and certification are going to be interesting for this. Building any commercial products or services will put you in the cross hairs of basically anyone with relevant patents. Certification could be an extra hurdle to get to market. Both issues can be fixed with money of course.

First off, don't worry. You already have all the necessary tools you need.

Although the language you use to learn system & network programming doesn't matter much, it is better if you use C or C++ to practise and learn. This is because the kernel itself is written in C and exposes system calls that can be used directly from a C/C++ program. That said, "The Linux Programming Interface"(I am personally reading it) is a really good book. It talks a lot about how one should go about using system calls to get things done by the kernel. Make sure to read a little every day and try out the examples by writing C/C++ programs.

I recently realized that TLPI doesn't talk much about why are things the way they are(a very good example would be virtual memory and related stuff). You should refer some theoretical book for this. I suggest you go with "Operating systems" by Deitel & Choffnes.

Read man pages and practise using the libc/kernel APIs. For example, if you want to know about flushing, read 'man 3 fflush'. This might be needed when you want to flush all the input/output data that has been buffered by the C library before you can get fresh input from stdin. For example, if prompts are buffered, you definitely don't want to "scanf" before you have flushed the buffers. If you want to learn network programming, read chapters related to socket and refer 'man 2 socket'.

You will eventually get to a point where you will be able to connect all the dots(APIs) and be able to figure out what exactly you will need to get some problem solved.

Finally, don't learn for a future job. Learn for yourself. This will help you in the long run.
Looks great, a little bit of localisation would be good though. What are gas stations?
I wouldn't use these countries for any comparisons. Gibraltar is a city of 35.000. South Sudan has no health care infrastructure "In 2004, there were only three surgeons serving in southern Sudan, with three proper hospitals, and in some areas there was just one doctor for every 500,000 people" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Sudan#Humanitarian_situa... Both have too little data for statistical modelling. Why pick those countries and not average-size ones that already clearly show vaccination progress, like Israel.

Your question indicates you're a vaccination skeptic, the last website you shared is by Dr. Doug Corrigan who's most recent Facebook post reads "Essential Oils for Anti-Aging, Reducing Inflammation, and DNA Protection". It seems the websites you frequent try to push an alternative reality from scientific and medical research.
How exactly is a house safer? Several places still haven’t recovered from their 2007 prices, demographics of a region can change, expensive repairs can happen, a tenant can quite literally destroy your place or stop paying rent for N months, …

I’m not saying it’s a bad investment, I’m just saying that in terms of risk (measured as “will I get back my money when I need it?”) it seems comparable to me to broad cap-based index funds.
I wouldn't say the package manager is entirely coincidental; distro-sync and transaction support makes it easier than it would be if you did the equivalent operation using APT.

I'm pretty sure I could convert RHEL into Fedora and vice versa (probably not Suse though, it's too different), but I admit it's not going to be as easy as switching between EL distros.

The scam works because they put you under time pressure and the refund laws for internet purchases have an exception for concerts/events.

As they say, it's the skuomorphism. The original iPhone aimed to replace various existing things - instead of TV, we've got YouTube! Instead of a notepad, we have the notes app! No need to carry around paper maps with charming little pins stuck in anymore! This is equivalent to dressing up nicely as one would for an in-person meeting and plonking oneself down in front of a laptop webcam, according to the author.

In the newer iPhone, and in Bill Gates' setup, it is understood that the framing is the important part, it is not enough to pretend to be in a normal meeting.

Of course the whole thing is a bit silly

Can you give us some advice on how you recharge effectively between such bursts? Since starting receiving salaries I am staying within 40+ hours work weeks but it does depress me because indeed my head is not always in the game.

But I get feelings of guilt whenever I do that, and that prohibits recharging.

Devolving Architecture Governance
The popularity of the cloud and the introduction X as a service (XaaS) meant abandoning some core principles around how we govern information and build software.

I use these team features in Prodigy: I start annotation sessions with different session_id and with the feed_overlap flag. I run Prodigy from an EC2 instance that annotators connect to.

The Prodigy team is working on a new version called Prodigy Scale with more team features. I'm looking forward to that release! For now it feels like a hack to use Prodigy in a team.

Inter-annotator agreement is key! You could consider making that highly visible in your tool. It's something that every team should measure and strive to maximize.

For developers who use spaCy in production (like me), I imagine it would be very hard for your tool to come out on top of Prodigy. But there could be an opportunity with price-sensitive hobby users or devs who use a different NLP library.

iPhone bug that breaks your WiFi: here's the fix and how to prevent it
I thought I'd be cool with it too, and for the first few months I was. I'd occasionally meet up with friends, but in general would go weeks and not see much of anyone. However after a while this situation started taking a fairly significant toll, and I started making a point of arranging something with someone every weekend, just to get some non-video-chat interaction.
I've been using OsmAnd primarily for a few months. Some areas that it's fallen short, and forced me back to Google: unreliable and slow public transport directions, terrible default routing engine (solvable), lack of up to date local business information, search that can't find basic street addresses, no updates on road closures.

Organic Maps looks great, I'm going to give it a try and see if it solves any of these issues.

I don't get it. Why the concern about what other people decide to do? They already get to live their lives without consulting us.

The biggest roadblock to improving the standard of living of most people in America, is this suspicious impulse folks have of suspecting somebody might 'get away' with something. It's time to recognize this unworthy impulse and discard it.
"Rare"? Matter of definition. Most other coutries have had at most one per country; I think Germany may be among the worst hit, and it has had something like six, total. The USA has, AFAIK, at least one per year.

Show HN: AntiPerfume – Organic Social Distancing
While vacationing in Puerto Rico I discovered a new organic non-GMO and Free Trade formula to promote social distancing.

This may be generated in two ways (a) the lack of showing and may be facilitated with physical exertion or (b) using wipes from someone that has organically incubated the perfume from scenario (a).

This natural perfume exudes the body to create a radius of discomfort for those in the proximity, the distance of which may be controlled by the duration of the incubation period and can reach up to six feet.

That's just wrong. A Basic Income is nothing like a retirement pension.

The 'B' stands for 'Basic'. Most of us already work to get better things. That won't change.

Its a strawman that won't die - that the Basic Income is going to make people well-off for no work.
As a current Amazon employee I can confirm this is no longer the case or only applies to such a select few pieces of software that it doesn't actually mean what you think it does. The amount of day to day stuff that is relied upon that runs on greasemonkey scripts and web scraping is insane. API's for a ton of things don't exist or are have heavy gatekeeping. (eg. contact x to get onboarded to our API and they just ghost you). Of course you can get a high level leader to tell you to use a proper API in a mailing list email thread where you are trying to get help to solve a problem but they will not actually help you get working API access, all talk no action. A perfect example is there is this basic CRUD app that I rely upon and I see the current maintainer is working on all these feature requests, the problem for me is that the site has a ton of AJAX and takes like 20 mouse clicks to get retrieve basic information. So I open a ticket / feature request just to get a basic REST API for the reads and they politely tell me I am an idiot and close the request. So much pointless work is created at Amazon from lack of API access.

In a UBI scenario food stamps shouldn't exist, i think? The idea is to replace most benefits with just the basic income and save money not tracking those benefits.
> We already live in a society in which not everyone contributes (rich and poor), and it’s problematic.

There is more than enough wealth to feed and house everyone, so the issue is not of contribution, but distribution.

And boy oh boy, are things badly distributed. Look at the graphs of worker productivity compared to average wage for the last hundred years - they are staggering.
The ability to fire a worker makes an employer more likely to take a chance on an applicant with little work experience or a criminal record. This law will hurt the disadvantaged people it purports to help.

Laws which take away an employer's freedom also take away the worker's freedom. A minimum wage of $15 forbids me from doing a job at $14/hour that I'd be willing to do.
This is a strange case in my opinion. Quad9 and other open DNS servers such as CloudFlare, AddGuard, CleanBrowsing, Comodo, Google, OpenDNS, UltraDNS, Dyn, Yandex, HE.net and other open recursive servers are additive. They are not authoritative for the offending domain, nor are they promoting it. Just because some of these servers happen to filter malicious sites does not mean their role or legal responsibility is to filter sites that break copyright laws. This is the wrong target and sets a bad precedent in my opinion. I am not a lawyer. The right approach would be to have the domain seized and removed from the root servers. There is already a process in place for this as I am sure Sony is aware.

I could see some people equating Quad9 to a CDN but that is not the same. CDN's require the offender to set up an account and manually point the CDN to their site after accepting an acceptable use policy. An open DNS server requires no setup by the offender and no AUP. Anyone can point their client to the open DNS servers and request any domain.

The best way to do taxes' progressive support in reverse is to give everyone basic income, food stamps, and insurance and then offset that in the progressive tax rate.

Aside from removing stigma from using the universal minimums it solves the problem of losing 3X your income when combining separate state food program, city housing, and medical programs. That remains a problem even when individual programs move away from thresholds.
