>Another will attempt to give people more control over what can be done with the data companies gather about them.

Key word is attempt. One can be sure Google and friends will be lobbying hard for no such control, and if something does perchance pass, it won't be for years whatever it is is implemented and will be purposely difficult to reach.
Am I in therapy?

We're evolving, not finishing.

Obsessing over finishing something every day can't be useful or necessary. Could be distracting.

The haiku-styled self-help thingy here is lacking depth.. it's generic motivational cliche central. It's corny stuff.

Sounds like a form of OCD. The same people couldn't bare to leave the dirty dishes til the next morning.

Relax. You don't need to finish something today for the sake of "finishing".

You can subscribe to the journey or the destination, choose one, but don't push what you choose onto others and call it "Hacker News".

"Ship one thing today".

Ah... nope. And I don't ship. Never understood the obsession with "shipping". It suggests a commercial operation, a red-button launch, manufacturing and selling washing machines.

I predict that as soon as self-driving cars become available, Uber, Lyft, or whoever occupies that space will march in and start replacing drivers.

The only way this doesn't happen is if drivers gain regulatory or bargaining power in the duopoly. And if that happens a startup will come along, adopt self-driving cars and eat the duopoly's lunch.

To survive, they have to stay unencumbered by regulation that would get in the way of replacing drivers.

It's very hard to isolate any single ranking factor and attribute specific traffic increases to it, but overall what we know about load speed and Google rankings strongly implies a correlation there.

Moreover, Google has come out and said it's a factor. Not that we can always trust everything Google says, but in this case it aligns well with their efforts to optimise crawl efficiency. Faster loading websites means more efficient crawling, which helps Google.

And if Google recommends something it benefits from itself, it's a safe bet to assume it actually benefits your website's visibility in Google's search results as well. Google is, after all, very adept at the carrot & stick approach to making webmasters do what it wants them to.

That's one interpretation. Another is you're looking at git log and it's all historical. The best practice bit seems to boil down to "because Linus said so." The rest of the git commit best practices seem to fall into a similar boat.

I'm of the mindset a team can be mature enough to pick what works best for them. If the idea of a commit message is to convey useful info, imposing hard rules like 72 chars or tense seems a bit draconian. The worst change GitHub has made IMHO is truncating messages (particularly because the truncated message often ends up longer).
Challenges Facing the MicroVC Model
These stats are based on people visiting the Google Play store. They are almost meaningless.

I have an Android phone that works perfectly well and is paid for; I don't have money to burn to buy a new phone. I got it after I bought a Windows 7 computer - which will likely be updated for many years to come. When purchsed, the phone cost almost as much as my computer did. However ... the phone is running version 2.3.3 and can not be upgraded (and has not been updated for a few years now). And most new apps do not support this Android version (and have not for a few years now) so I have given up on visiting the Google Play store. My wife has an identical phone and has not bothered either trying to get new apps for a few years now.

It's a "non-issue" only because Google (which I generally support) has a shitty policy when it comes to supporting old versions of their products.
I suppose I read it overly antagonistically then. Honestly, the entire FP/OO thing is so draining. I wish we'd all just start talking about Church/Curry debates instead. It's dispense with most of the marketing mumbo jumbo.

> Microsoft should release the patches and give each IT team their own ability to assess patches at their own speed.

They already do via WSUS. Companies get to plan this work to start on the second Tuesday of every month because that's the day Microsoft publishes them. Nobody puts a gun to company's heads and forces them to deploy internally.

> If some companies want to wait 2 days then let them make their own choice. It seems like a pretty stupid policy that nothing (except extreme cases) should get patched except when it's convenient.

This seems to be a complaint about a "policy" which doesn't exist and has no relationship to the topic at hand. I don't even really entirely understand the above.
It's silly to think capitalists care where money comes from.

Thanks and my apologies. I was absolutely certain that this isn't possible and have spent quite some time in various Audi related corners of the internet due to my main (Audi connect) issue - and (seemed to?) remember various inquiries to kill that feature and no one succeeded (some even modded the physical button to remember the last state and reset it that way).

I'd like to think so but it seems equally likely that carriers would either push you towards their own stores or tell you that you need to buy a new phone if the message was anything less aggressive than “There is a critical security available which must be installed before using the web. Please contact your carrier to ask for it”
Not bad at all considering all of the extra processing power.
That works as long as you're adding code. But what about when you're deleting code? I absolutely want to know why you've removed something.

Could they in a modern phone? I thought that was part of the point of Google's slightly sneaky updates to "Google Play Services" -- that it allows them to do their own OTA updates sidestepping carriers.

I think this is to wash away the NSA stuff while making it look like Obama cares about your privacy - even though this law only applies to private companies, not himself/the government.

I noticed other more annoying bugs in Audi console software.

And more generally, the automotive industry is weird with respect to software updates. To be clear, i only mean secondary systems such as entertainment console (so i am excluding core systems like engine, and other vital controls). In order to update your software, you need to ask your agent, who most of the time would just give you the default answer of "you have the latest update". Perhaps the agents are not lazy, but there is no place i know of on audi's website, where you can check for available updates. I would expect to be able and download a software update to my car using and SD card, or my phone data connection.

Car manufacturers should really just open up their in vehicle consoles to developers, somewhat a-la appStore.

Perhaps someone from the auto industry can explain this philosophy ?

Obviously Tesla is an exception by taking a more transparent approach to this issue.

It'd "feel" like a vacuum, until you passed out. But it would mean that you wouldn't need to expend so much energy to heat your shelter, and that greenhouse-based farming is a lot easier.

The important thing to note is that there are actually places on Earth that are in some peculiar respects less habitable than Mars. Overall they're not, but in terms of specifics like temperature they are. Mars settlement is achievable, assuming we can physically get there for less than the insanely high costs NASA throws around.

The location of this town probably wouldn't be habitable (or barely so) without a lot of imported electric and fossil fuel energy.

No way, SEO is very relevant. It's still a pillar for inbound marketing. Just for instance, if you're search for the next product you want to buy, there's good chance that you'll visit the top organic search results and buy from there. Big win for the seo optimised site! In mobile apps, it might not seem so appealing, but it's still best if your app shows up in relevant categories etc.

You think that 2 days is nothing, but look at this from other perspective: first time MS asks for 2 days (BTW, as others pointed, initially MS said it's not going to be fixed until Feb), next time they ask for a week: last time you gave us 92 days, couldn't you wait for another 3 days? And then it goes, and goes. Then other company asks for a week. If google refuses, there will be unfair treatment and might cause bad press (much worse than this one). So as despite it looked like a dick move, I fully support google's actions. If you compromise on policy once, you're done. So 90 days is a 90 days, no matter what. I think it was a lesson to MS: take this policy with respect and avoid this in future.
I'm a software developer and I know how difficult to fix big systems like Windows (burocracy must be crazy there), but the only way to challenge broken processes is to put pressure, otherwise it will never change.
First of all let me say something, Max, you're the inspiration :)

1) Sorry for not following the Guideline, It just went out of my mind. Lesson learned, won't repeat.

Actually this is first time I'm doing something practically with data, so gradually I'll try to learn things and minimize my mistakes.

2) Yes, you're right. I'll change it.

3) Honestly speaking, I was getting the X-axis ruler all mixed up because I was plotting 'repository name' on X-axis.
So as a workaround I made a new column of digits, that fits in the image.

The Next Decade in Storage: StorageMojo's Predictions
I glad i use my old, trusty IBM keyboard :)
If you ever want to change the implementation of Article, you'd break anyone that was using that part of your API. If you use getters, you can change your implementation without breaking the consumers of your API.

For instance, let's say that you don't want to store the author's name as a string anymore, and want to store a reference to an Author object. If you have a getAuthor() method, you can change it from a simple getter to instead call author.getName(), preserving your public-facing API.
Can you elaborate a little why do you think so?
Enforced how, on who, by whom? Google can say "They're fixed already, just upgrade to Android 5.0.1". Manufacturers and Carriers can say "Meh, we're still testing it". Enforcing such a rule requires holding a particular party responsible, and that party must have some authority to hold other involved parties responsible for doing their parts.

Probably the best thing that could be done overall is Google's already-complete plan to move the web browser, and as much other code as they can, to Play store apps that they can centrally auto-update. But getting that solution onto the vulnerable phones required them to, once again, just upgrade to the newest Android.
They're referencing the structure of the phrase "Driving While Black". It gets the feeling of oppression across in 3 words in a way that "Speaking as a Woman" would not.
Back when I tried SoftEther several months back, by way of VPN Gate, the connections seemed pretty unreliable compared to OpenVPN. I think the VPN Gate software locked down the options in SoftEther, though. Packet loss affected gaming and video streaming in particular. Casual web browsing was OK.
What Movies Can Teach You about Pitching to Investors
Even so, this is a clash of two policies and Google needs to reevaluate its deadline (is 120 days better for everyone, including users?).

This looks like a solution, but isn't. Perhaps Google's 90 day deadline is already a re-evaluation of a 60-day deadline that was made to accommodate holidays and companies with a once-a-month patch schedule. If Google's deadline was 120 and still hit two days before patch Tuesday, would you say the same thing but for 150?

(N.B. I'm not defending Google, just poking a hole in this particular idea.)

Let's start being very cautious about that. Because

1) Whatsapp has never said publicly they are doing that

2) Now they might backtrack and say they never intended to add E2E encryption

3) Without a privacy policy change as well, the encryption change may be meaningless, since they'd give themselves permission to modify it whenever they wish.
They're the ones doing the work of finding these vulnerabilities and being nice enough to report this to Microsoft (and the public) at all.

The work-around then is to simply write it in ASCII in the local language. Most alphabets has a de facto, often even official, romanization.

That sounds like an amazing feat from a productivity/finishing projects standpoint, but I'd be really interested to hear about the organization process for a thing like that. I'm sure one can't rely on memory alone to remember which tiny washer goes with each widget. For a smaller project, I'd sort the screws into cups or something. But for an entire bike? Huh.
I think the convenience is worth it. For me, my most valuable commodity is my time, not money. Not to mention they probably get a better deal on the catering and masseuse than you would individually.

If I could go into work and not have to worry about preparing a good, healthy meal for myself (or drive somewhere to get one), that would be great.
Being marked 'you have nothing to worry about' was somehow equally as unnerving.

I love that 'desktop as website' theme, gonna steal it.
Note that you changed it from "while" implying temporary, to "as" implying permanence. The temporary-ness of the title has a very strange angle having nothing to do with the story. Given the title I expected a story about the experiences of MtoF trans- people speaking out. Which would have probably been more interesting than the actual story.
Really? Praise from two accounts with 1 karma point, one of which has been created at the same time the post has been submitted? For a guide that is sent over email?
I think the title was meant to make the reader feel uncomfortable, and to echo the concept of "Driving While Black".
Unfortunately this seems like a bootstrapping issue now. If women are viewed differently for speaking up, it's because people aren't used to women speaking up. :(

Technically a Prime Minister doesn’t win an election at all: people vote for a party.
Fairly good news.
Appreciate the thought, but disagree quite heavily - I think the "dirty hacks to help you rank #1 overnight!" are gone (and even this is debatable for short term gains, just not viable for long term business strategy), but SEO is alive and well and will be for quite some time.

I think trying to rank for "car insurance," for example, as a new company is a fool's errand with how much work it would take to overthrow one of the big guys, but that doesn't mean there aren't thousands (if not millions) of other relevant monthly searches you could go after while you grow a business.

I dabble in SEO quite a lot because I see return on it (B2B SaaS company), and it's still relatively a wild west. Things are always changing, and it pays to be on top of it.
> uglier and unnecessarily more verbose than it needs to be

Nice autologism.
"When female executives spoke more than their peers, both men and women punished them with 14 percent lower ratings."

I've seen similar comments before and even going as far as saying women were harder on women than men when moving up in a career. It's deeper and more complex than men versus women. I've heard my share of anecdotal stories from women who say the same thing, women are their harshest critique and most difficult challenge. It seems daunting, how do you even begin to change that.

"He announced to the writers that he was instituting a no-interruption rule while anyone — male or female — was pitching."

That is excellent, and sad, that we have to go back to grade school etiquette to let people find a voice. It's true though, if a team member isn't trusted to have a voice they shouldn't be a part of the conversation. If they are a part of the conversation they should have the respect of the rest of the team enough for them to shut up and listen, then respond. Spirit sticks!
Hasnt Microsoft released "out of band" patches before? Why is this one so special?
Right. And in the beginning I liked the feature.

It's just that it doesn't work all the time and I tend to forget about it when it works, but get quite annoyed when it doesn't. That .. might be a built-in bias that I need to work on, but could explain why this feature was okay on day 1 (and 10 and 30..) and is crap now.

What it does: Depending on circumstances I don't understand it has a reaaaally bad delay. Especially if you time it (unintentionally of course) just so that the motor dies and you want to move in that instant. There's a 'hiccup' and nothing happens for ~1.5-2 seconds. By now I rather let it die completely, count "One Mississippi" and then press the clutch instead of trying it right away - because it just doesn't work well in these cases.

Again, most of the time it works okay. But by now I'd rather not use it if it's not working 100%.
