Obviously, you need metrics to monitor the metrics.

But more seriously, I've attacked this kind of problem in the past by agreeing on a common set of first-look metrics. What is a one page set of data you start with when trying to identify a problem in a given system/subsystem.

After than, other metrics must exist to solve or monitor a specific issue, or be in reusable shared sub-reports with some stated overview. After than, you can think about automatic deletion after a specific timeframe if they're in sandboxes and not connected to some documented useful purpose.
I thought that the belief was that running a fan all night was dangerous, not guaranteed to kill. So in that sense, it would be more like getting drunk and being hit by a train - not exactly a smart move, but possibly a better alternative than suicide.
Since I always seem to have a Terminal window or three open for one reason or another, I quite often find myself just typing (e.g.) "open ~/physics/books/" when I need that sort of thing. If you don't have Terminal up, it's more of a pain. (Spotlight isn't as handy for that use, though it can be pretty effective in other ways.)

I'd be more scared of tripping over creaky floorboards. When I was a teenager, we briefly lived in a 200 year old house. The floorboards in the upstairs bedrooms bent when you stepped on them. I was convinced they were going to snap in half and we'd fall through the floor, probably cutting an artery in the groin, bleeding out in minutes. I could hardly sleep at night, afraid the bed was going to fall through the floor.

No, the unexplained lights in the hall at night were nothing in comparison.
Curiosities of human/social behavior such as this amaze me until I think about all the people across multiple cultures who feel compelled to respond in some manner when someone sneezes.
Your problem is comparing Russia's censorship to the US's spying. Russia has its own intelligence gathering programs that we know little about, but we know a lot about the US's censorship (and how they manipulate the media) and it would make more sense to compare those two.

For the same reason that it makes no sense to compare the US GDP to the size of Poland's navy, there's no value in comparing Russian censorship to US intelligence.
What exactly is the position you are arguing?
This questions is probably going to come off as sounding kind of tongue-in-cheek, but I gotta ask: does that make your job easier? Does their 'gullibility' mean that they're more open to new ideas (which would presumably make things easier for you), or just that their current set of beliefs seems crazy to you?

As I said, I've seen people say "it's the same".

It is not the same.

Saying "supports higher level and lower level" programming when you don't actually support most higher level programming primitives is also, from my point of view, untrue.

Go's design choices are what they are, which is fine. But I just see a lot of people who argue, in all seriousness, that a loop has the same level of abstraction as map, filter etc. It simply doesn't.
>There are some movies you can't get in any format but DVD. Ghostbusters, for example. The owners of that particular title refuse to let it be licensed for streaming of any kind.

Agreed. I think that Apple wants to keep things simple, but this is a reasonable option for power users. Heck, I would settle for being able to enter paths in the search widget! It would be trivial to interpret searches starting with forward slash to be interpreted as "go to that path".

Ask HN: How to get started with PCB design?
I'd like to try out printed circuit board design, with the eventual aim of creating layouts for relatively simple microcontroller and FPGA-based projects (i.e. mostly digital, few RF or other high-frequency considerations).

However, I'm sort of at a loss as to where to start learning. I know in principle the idea is to draw traces in a CAD program to replicate a schematic. There is a lot more than that, though - ways to lay out traces to avoid interference, ensure that power traces are thick enough to meet the needs of their components, etc.

Are there any good textbooks on the topic, or websites, online resources, etc? Also, what CAD software and board making services have people used that would be appropriate for a hobbyist?
Here's a nice tool to add more value to the Finder:

https://github.com/jbtule/cdto/releases

Add the app to the Finder toolbar then whenever you're in a folder and you want to open a terminal/iterm window in that folder just click the icon.

Also, when you're in a terminal window and you want to open a Finder window in that directory just run the command:

$ open .

Tip: In Mavericks you have to hold command+option to drag an app into the toolbar. I forget the key combo for dragging it to the toolbar in Yosemite, I want to say either just command or no key combo is required.

Ah, so you're pro coal and natual gas then. You do know that it is these source of energy that the grid is engineered to fall back on to even out fluctuations in supply? And that even if the grid was "100%" renewable, it'd end up supplying something like 60% of the aggregate energy from these fallback sources?

You can't escape the choice. 100% renewable is a fantasy.
I've also heard it was propagated by the Korean government so people would save electricity from not running their fans or air conditioners all night in the summer.

The Wikipedia article does have a citation from 1927 [1], though, so it would seem the origins are much older than that.

My guess is it's a bit of all of the above. Maybe there was a little bit of belief in it, and the government, but government efforts to reduce energy usage as well as families using it to cover up suicide or drug overdoses helped propagate the belief and make it far more widespread.

Fan death is not really belief but more healthy respect for the Unknown and avoiding unnecessary risk.

Definable not entirely true. I might be a language hipster (http://xkcd.com/297/) but I'm definitely not a web developer, except for back ends. The first time sharing system I used was a UNIX(TM) Release 6 system in the summer of 1978, and I started learning C after that, programming professionally in it starting in 1980. C++ in 1995, and I did several intense projects in it.

I loathe C++, think it's way too dangerous, and C is obviously dangerous. I really want something safer to do systems programming in, that's successful (pretty much every prior alternative has failed in one way or another). Maybe Rust will be that.
I assume I'm considered an enemy of the sate by not having a social media presence. Unless HN counts but if it does it probably doesn't help that rating.
I love the Miller columns, the preview column and QuickLook. I hate the lack of an address bar and to be able to jump to a terminal directly. For the second issue I use a shortcut that cds the path of the front-most Finder window using AppleScript. You can have QuickLook in the terminal too by the way:

# Quicklook given file
ql () {
qlmanage -p $* 2>/dev/null
}

And one tweak I often use is that I have mapped Ctrl-Shift-t to the "Tags..." menu entry which can be done in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > + > Application=Finder, Menu Title=Tags...

You can have something like cd .. in Finder using Cmd-up and cd - is Cmd-[. When you Cmd-click the icon in the window title bar you can see the whole path, which I use a lot too. Finally, I use Cmd-2 and Cmd-3 to switch between column and list view.

Also, I kinda like timers in electric fans (though it's been years since I used one): there's no need to blow wind when you're asleep. Sure you wouldn't die, but you might catch cold or find yourself awake at 4 am because your limbs are uncomfortably cold.

(My parents probably still believe in fan death, though.)

Finally, as someone below said, "you can’t even buy a fan that will run all night." is patently false. Every fan I can remember has a "run indefinitely" position.

If they don't work, they're not a safeguard for the accused, except in the case of police where they obviously wrongfully work as evidenced by the cases cited. It seems to me, that in many cases, they're also a safeguard for a prosecutor who doesn't actually want to prosecute police as well as police who have committed crimes themselves. As far as regular citizens, they really have nothing to lose by eliminating grand juries with grand jury indictment rates being just shy of 100%.

By whom? Remember, we're talking decentralized. In Gnutella and the like there is no authority.

So if you want to take the Pirate Bay approach of providing a small authoritative list of "trusted moderators" through the web and have all the users use that filter, you have to keep it simple so that it can be easily replicated if the web-component gets taken down.

Complicating the web/authority component means mirroring it and resurrecting it becomes hard.

I totally believe you - I probably shouldn't have stated this as fact, it's just how it has been explained to me second hand.
In my company, we're guaranteed a raise every 6 months for two years, which is still tied to a set performance goal for that six month period. After the two years, we swing into a yearly performance review that's tied to a salary increase dependent on role and performance for the previous year. Also, at that point, our profit sharing kicks in as well.

I think that that is fairly generous and keeps me from having to ask for a raise, at least for a few years. The raise I'm guaranteed for the 6 months over two years is 6%. After that, again, it's TBD, but even if it was 3% with profit sharing it's still a good raise.

A yearly raise is pretty standard, I'd say. This is the first time I've ever had anything but a yearly review/raise arrangement.
It's odd how being scared of something makes you believe that everyone is scared of it.

There's a significant amount of people who don't actually get scared of "spooky old houses". Just like there's some people who don't get nervous when a giant spider is on their hand. Or when they're talking to a crowd. Or when they're on top of a cliff.

I'd certainly be nervous in a "spooky old house" but certainly not for its ghosts. I do despise spiders for one thing.

It did make my job easier. But so did the overall politeness in the culture. That's part of being gullible. It's that a large part of it is associated with politeness and willing to hear someone out.
I think you're wrong. All my non-technical friends are very fed-up with how apps, apple, android, <walled-garden-buzzword> work.

I constantly hear them chattering about how they would like to do <action> but stupid <apple/android> doesn't allow them do said action. A recent example of the other day was something about how apple blue-tooth is somehow not compatible with a windows devices or something along those lines.

Perhaps right now walled-garden devices are still profitable, but if they continue to become more limited it won't take long for a suitable (more open) alternative to appear.

As for your second point, I find it somewhat paradoxical, I assume you would agree with me that computers are becoming more and more common (including smart phones). And yet you think that the knowledge _about_ computers will decrease?

Perhaps the obliviousness of the people around you have become more apparent because of the ubiquitousness of computing these days. But to say it has _increased_ would imply that that group was knowledgeable in the first place, which is not the case. Also since more and more people are born that have been around computers their entire lives, I find it very doubtful that less of those people will end-up learning about computers than before when it was strictly the domain of "nerds".

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I didn't learn about Cmd+Down (open file/folder) and Cmd+Up (go to parent dir) in Finder until recently. This has completely changed my productivity in Finder since I can now navigate quickly without the mouse. I used to hate Finder a lot more before I knew this.

You mean that waste which, after having its useful components removed, reduces to less than background levels in under a hundred years?

> " A solution desperately searching for a problem. We need something to replace C (so we are told), but maybe Rust won't be that tool."

As someone who works with Rust on a daily basis to implement a browser engine, I can confidently say that Rust is not a solution in search of a problem for our domain. As an example, I implemented CSS "letter-spacing" the other day, and it worked first try after compiling. The layout code I write has a remarkable resilience to crashes; in the rare cases that it panics, it aborts safely. And I get parallelism "for free" as I implement more layout features, because the compiler stops me if I'm about to do something non-thread-safe. None of this applies to C or C++, and the end result is that we can move faster and write cleaner code.
> Russia has elections and they have laws which affect businesses based there - pretty much like every other country out there

In the U.S. I can sign a contract with a private party–or even with the government–and reasonably expect (a) that the terms will be complied with or (b) if they are not, to have reasonable options for compelling performance or collecting damages. In Somalia, on the other hand, a contract is merely a discussion aid. Forcing performance or collecting damages requires deploying force.

Russia is in between. The courts are venal and capricious. This means that a contract saying one thing can be interpreted differently because of the counterparty's political connections. (Not saying that doesn't happen everywhere, but its degree and brazenness is greater in states without a firm rule of law, like Russia.) It also means that any disagreement could escalate unpredictably to one's property being sacked and self being jailed.

None of this makes Russia an impossible place to do business. But it does make it more costly, in the form of ambiguous risks and the unique and uncertain costs of mitigating them.
I use Finder constantly. That said, I use an extension called Default Folder (which I've been using since long before Mac OS X) which not only works around many of its shortcomings, but is almost impossible to live without. E.g. if you have a Finder window open in the background, when you are in an file dialog you can focus it on that window by clicking on it in the background, it remembers where you were in a given folder (and which folder you were in for each application), and so forth. It also gives you access to most of Finder's functionality from inside file dialogs (which is something I do miss from Windows).

I don't find Finder "awful" compared to Windows Explorer — quite the reverse in general. But if you're not used to the Mac's keyboard navigation standards (which have remained largely consistent since 1986 or so (i.e. HFS)) you may not realize it. First -- list view is the best view. Second -- the same keystrokes work in list view and in file dialogs.
Point, but that's a much smaller system to mirror. It can be static. You could bundle a cert list into the client, even.
The lack of an out of the box jump to terminal option drives me crazy. I've tried multiple third party solutions but they are always kind of buggy (e.g. switching desktops). I love the new batch rename from Finder that they added in Yosemite, though.
