What I used to do is go to office 2 hours earlier and work on my stuff, anything I liked and develop something. Rest of the day somehow passes with this good inner feeling that I worked on something meaningful that interests me.

Before I used to work on my personal projects after the office hours and I used to not like it sometimes because I am mentally tired due to useless day job. But working on my stuff early first thing in the morning keeps me going

I live in Dubai and there is no ground-breaking work done here - not even close - and I totally rely on HN to learn whatever I can and stay informed at least. Working on open source projects is the only way I see to get connected to the 'real' world of development and startups.

If you are willing to work remotely you should try the below sites - there are some good jobs

With regards to balancing everything, I think once you get the job you love everything else falls into right place because majority of your day and week is spent on job which is 8 hours a day and if those 8 hours a day is fruitful the other minor issues don't matter..

I think it may have been unclear, as I was told:

not _only_ headlines are indexed, as we know it from other HN-Searches. The sites behind the outgoing links from HN&co are indexed.

So, one could say, that is a "real" HN Search. :)
If you consider that the basic meaning of Anarchism is "no hierarchies!" and compare that in a not-too-strict sense to core principles of the hacker and maker community, it becomes clear that a hacker culture and anarcism are not too far apart.

High emphasis on collaboration, egalitarian mindset and a "respect stems from knowledge" attitude come to my mind.

But still most of the hackers I know don't want to be associated to anarchy, even though they act like anarchists. I think the reason is that their acting like anarchists simply is appropropiate for what they are trying to achieve and not a political act or message by itself.
Startup Journey: An idea to connect website chat with slack
Yea, I understand what Google is trying to do with their news site, but it'a not working--for me--in the Bay Area.

They have money to burn/waste/spoil Geniuses? Why not hire the best reporters and
put together news sites for every country on the planet? Old
fashioned reporting? Stop leaching off struggling news papers in order to obtain your content? The internet has destroyed so many good
newspapers. Why not reverse the trend and bring back good journalism? Or just, give some of the struggling newspapers
cold hard cash--in the form of a grant, before we lose them all? Or, they just become pet/vanity projects for rich tech guys?
> Because nobody uses them and supporting them can cause more problems than they are worth.

Can you substantiate that? Why shouldn't I be able to POST a new resource to a server and update an existing resource with PUT using Forms? Why shouldn't I be able to delete a resource using a DELETE method using a Form?

Doesn't make sense to me.
That's nothing but aliases.

I was going to comment with this. I have a VPS and have thought about running a VPN from there. This would protect me from a whole lot of man in the middle attacks as well as preventing the ISP's on snooping in on my traffic.

However, another big advantage to a VPN for me is anonimity, not directly giving the site information on who you are. If you were to set this up and use it just for you it's not unthinkable that government organisations like the NSA in Amerika and the AIVD in my homecountry of the Netherlands could identify you pretty easily.

For that I use Private Internet Access[1] right now, they claim to have patched a lot of the important software to have no logging, so they can't keep them. They also share IP addresses between customers which means the IP address is not a form of identification anymore. Their site looks like shit, I agree, but the service is pretty great.

Surely, though, if hacking the device was harder - if it wasn't something practically anybody could do with a downloadable tool, for the most part - there'd be more demand for unlockable devices.
A form is for user input and should always be "posted" through a gateway or handler on the server side. A PUT would imply that the payload is accepted as is. Also a PUT implies that a form cannot be sent twice to the same URI after the resource on the server has been created. So PUT is basically a nightmare for user interaction.

A DELETE has no payload.

OPTIONS and HEAD make no sense for a browser, because there is no information to show to the user.

So that leaves us with POST and GET. As I already stated, POST is the best form to send user data to a server. And a form with GET is just an URI builder.

Edit: Well no, that does not leave us with POST and GET, because there are also CONNECT and TRACE. But who wants to concern a user with those?
I feel that the article continued in the wrong vein. The original NY times article from which the author takes inspiration talks about how mobile apps are segregated from the web. It says that Google, Facebook and other companies have apps whose content is not part of the web.

If they wanted they could have done it. They decided not to because they don't want their content freely accessible. They are more than capable of doing that, Google even spearheading development of HTTP2.

The technical challenge of deep linking remains an issue for many others which prevents developers to orgainze app content for web and people from accessing it directly. The article was more about getting the basics of HTTP right.
At the intersection of both the objects mentioned in your post, I still find it amazing that one can build a UTM in Conway's Game Of Life.
NetBase (http://www.netbase.com) uses this kind of "old-school" NLP (with a large team of full-time linguistics PhDs) augmented with statistical tools and increasingly sophisticated forms of automation.

The end product is more accurate and quicker to adapt than the industry is used to.

I see how "$200" works strictly as a cash-in-door number – though at the expense of later profits.

Toy setup matching the post's parameters:

STARTING SITUATION:
10 customers at $200/month
= $2,000 cash this month and next 11 months
over 12 months = $24,000 expected revenue

BUT INSTEAD:
send 10 emails, 1 customer prepays $2200 (instead of $200)
= $4,000 cash this month
then $1800/month next 11 months
over 12 months = $23,800 revenue

So, this month, the 10 emails brought in $2,000 extra cash – hence, "$200-per-email".

But of course it's just pulling revenue forward (borrowing from customers). And, it's at a rather steep effective interest rate: over 17% per year.

So while it's cash-flow positive, it's only profitable if there's some combination of (1) productive places to invest that money; and (2) improved mid-year retention of the prepaid customers – that together return more than the ~17% cost.
I got hit by this a few weeks ago, on a box fresh laptop (uk).
Unlocking the bootloader is not enough, you'll need sunshine or similar for the rom to be completely unlocked.

But forget the security mods, I am impressed they made a user-removable battery mod on a motorola.
Yeah. For example:

$ git branch fireos
$ git branch fireos/feature-branch
error: unable to create directory for .git/refs/heads/fireos/feature-branch
fatal: Failed to lock ref for update: No such file or directory

This happens because creating 'fireos' branch stores the sha1 in file .git/refs/heads/fireos. But if you later want to create branch 'fireos/feature-branch', git needs to store the sha1 in .git/refs/heads/fireos/feature-branch. This is impossible because 'fireos' is a file and cannot be a directory. Path conflict.
For those longing for these nice HP RPN calculators of yore, have a look at http://www.swissmicros.com/ . I myself have a DM-16.

Agreed. I was expecting more substance in the hooks department, diffs, or other things off the beaten path. This just seems like a list of the basic git commands.
I really wish the main findings had been summarised in one paragraph at the top of the article, instead of towards the end. All things considered it could have been written a lot shorter and a lot clearer.
Thought it might interest you that the term is "burying the lede". One of those weird terms like "champing at the bit" or "eke out a living" that uses a word that sounds like a modern English word but is actually a slightly arcane word. In this case lede is "the introductory section of a news story that is intended to entice the reader to read the full story".
Mainly complex values wrapping in the display, memory corruption and annoyingly, really poor trig accuracy.

OK, I've been trying to be nice here, but this is just too much. 7% annual returns in the stock market? Good luck with that, buddy. I'd be happy to get a guaranteed 4%, but I doubt it will happen. How about a team of unicorns to pull my coach to work every day?

Guess what: you are never going to have financial security unless you win the startup lottery. If you make 150k a year instead of 100k, the colleges you send your kid to will just charge you an extra 50k in tuition. The more you make, the more they charge. Great model, eh?

Middle class savings are ridiculously inadequate to modern expenses. Even a few days in the hospital could set you back hundreds of thousands of dollars if the bureaucrats at the insurance company decide it's not covered. In a divorce your partner will get half of the house, half of the money, and probably a permanent monthly stipend out of you (at least in California).

You're either one of the 1% or you're one of the poor. So take your chances and roll the dice. If you succeed you will be able to pursue whatever other dreams you want. If you fail, you'll just take the safe job at IBM like everyone else. Retirement is mostly a scam anyway and odds are none of the savings you've accumulated will mean squat when the big one drops / singularity hits / Sarah Palin becomes President-for-Life.
I use Debian + UFW + OpenVPN + Digitalocean for my US Netflix needs. I get 10Mbit downstream and 20Mbit upstream from NY3 to my 60/60 fiber connection here in Zurich.
I could also configure it to use DNS only, but open dns servers are not so welcomed at the moment. Since I do quite a bit of roaming it's easiest to just configure OpenVPN.
These days there's a working OpenVPN client for Android but there were times when IPsec[1] VPN was the only good way to connect many different clients like Windows, Mac OS and iPhone to your VPN server.

Which is why I had to mention IPsec VPN and link to a good article on how to manage it on OpenBSD.

awesome! what sorts of things does NetBase do with old school NLP?
Hmm... You should absolutely pay for features, if you want them, I would never say otherwise. My point is that SSL is not a feature, it's table stakes. Are you saying you think SSL on your login form is an upsell?

Having this discussion on Twitter right now with one of their developers. Go to their home page and click 'Sign in'. See the username/password prompt? Now, look at the URL bar. See something missing? In fact, the request is POST to https://... but the point is the user has no assurance that's the case. A web login form MUST be served from a top-level document under HTTPS.

The weird thing is that, in fact, the dev said they do provide SSL when logged into the app all the time to all users. It's only SSL on their public site that they only provide to paying customers. Well, I don't get that at all. And anyway it seems broken because I have a 14-day Premium Trial and I'm not getting that "feature". Just altogether very weird vibe. Anyway, this is now way OT for this thread.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Reading a self-help book might be directly applicable to his side project, too, giving him skills to discipline himself for instance. (I could use a little of that in my side project!)

I'm not a lawyer either, but my example is different from yours is VERY different from bringing in a laptop and working on the project in your spare time.

I'd personally risk reading about, say, development (since I'm employed as a developer) and not really worry about it. If I'm working on billing software but reading about the entertainment industry (and building an entertainment-industry application), then I think we've got concerns.

I guess I'm trying to say that I don't think becoming a better developer in your spare time is wrong in any regard. It benefits you, your employer, and your side project.

That said, I don't think the GP really mentioned a subject. Maybe he's reading fiction?
Tread carefully: How not to drown in the “sea” of social media
Well the scheduling program works as your PA, and is expected to deal with other humans who want to schedule meetings with you. So not only does it have to understand their correspondence, it also has to negotiate with them. This requires NLP
Cool, but obscure unix tools
In any technical job you learn things that are useful in future jobs. I don't see how a lawyer could possibly object to "I was studying to improve my skills and enhance my value to the company". I certainly don't see how meditation would be better in this regard - that's just as much "using company time to get better at my side project", and there's less of a case that it helps you at your employer.
Rust's multi-threading most certainly is not CSP. CSP requires communication to be synchronous. Rust documentation states that send() will never block and channels have infinite buffer.

AFAIK, rust also doesn't allow selecting between a send and receive on channels. It only allows selecting over a set of receivers and even there it doesn't offer something like the default clause of Go's select statement.

Rust does have interesting features to prevent data races but it's concurrency model is very different from CSP and Go. Since the author praises Go's concurrency in the context of writing servers, it is entirely reasonable to prefer goroutines over OS threads as the unit concurrency.

> If you don't yet want to publish, why do you need GitHub or Bitbucket? Why not just keep the repository local?

My two cents on this are that I always try to outsource any internal services to reduce maintenance time. For example

1. Own git repository will need backup and server configuration to be accessed from all machines that I own, which means I will need to spend time on security.

2. Own GitLab instance will mean 1 + system resources ( GitLab actually uses more than I would like to spare )

3. If I need to benefit hooks and pretty UI I would also need to do 1 + 2 + writing README files and integrate with different CI services.

What I figured out is that there are 1 and 2 outsourced and free ( bitbucket ), so I would not bother doing this on my own.
:has sounds like it can lead to a maintenance mess and makes styles being tied to specific mark-up. I can imagine how easy it will be to accidentally add stuff that some broad rule will assimilate, or remove styling because you add an innocent element to the block. It locks down stuff the same way too much nesting does.

I think it's beyond nationalism. Programming is done in english because its the common tongue, and the world in which programmers grow is distributed and quasi-borderless, so there's interest in using a tongue common to all. There's no point in not writing code in english, it's a self defeating endeavor.

I'm from a non English speaking nation and I originally used an non-standard US layout, although I changed to US layout when I realized doing otherwise was an exercise in futility.
A real time calculated displacement map would be more appropriate. These simulations typically use real wave-front physics (Navier-Stokes), even if simplified.
I've signed up and am looking forward to giving X.ai a go.

The thing I'm puzzled by is how Amy can possibly follow the most important rule of physical meeting scheduling, namely: "you go to the money, the money doesn't come to you". In other words: vendor goes to startup founder's office, startup founder goes to VC's office, VC goes to LP's office... How does Amy know enough about your business hierarchy to respect that rule?
It gets even uglier when you don't discover those conflicts until a pull or push.

Yeah, you don't exactly see 'lawful intercept' code getting checked into AOSP. It's basically all handled by the baseband AFAIK.

The risk is reduced here though because they have removed almost all the sensors, so even if you used the baseband to transmit the mic it wouldn't achieve much. Your position could still be accurately tracked though.
SSH does it's own flow control, and with HPN-SSH it is much better.

Also, if your connection to the VPN host is quite good, then the TCP-over-TCP issue does not apply as much. The bad cases happen when that connection has packet loss.
Sure it sounds cool that if Alice asks Bob about some internal API and Bob says he doesn't know about it much, the system should suggest involving Carl who actually wrote the API. But who would want a system to read their emails? Heck even if you imagine the whole situation in real life, where you randomly pop in between two strangers and give them a suggestion (no matter how useful) they will consider you a creep for eavesdropping on them. Do this often enough and you are bound to be chased through the streets by an angry mob.

Plus, think of all the times the AI doesn't understand the conversation and makes crappy suggestions. Like each time that API is cmentioned, suppose the system says "involve Carl! He's a Pro". i Can see this getting annoying really fast
Many very top sites do this with any popular news term or keyword, its incentive to create content farms. Madness.

Well, they need a way to get up-to-date data into the system from whatever it's coming from. That alone requires someone to write code. They probably also do some customizing of what data is displayed; maybe via a GUI or maybe via code. But that's just the last mile (on each end) that needs customization.

I don't see how you can simplify that into calling it a "dev framework".
Thank you for providing this perspective, I completely agree.
A few specific ideas, that I realize will only fill a certain number of hours, but still very good use of your time:

1) bring a notebook and do planning for your startup - it will get you away from keyboard & screen all day, there's no such thing as a project that too well-planned out, and you don't need to worry about doing it on company time if everyone else is sleeping.

2) as someone mentioned, automate everything you do at work, so you can use those techniques/what you learned doing it to shorten your 5-6h at night to something reasonable.

3) no doubt people at work spend a lot of time on social media - so you do it to, only with a specific goal of networking. That could lead to anything.

Last thing - are you really building an MVP? I'll assume it's a web app of some type; I have no idea what it is, of course, but 5-6hrs a day is 3/4 full-time. You should only take a month or so to build and MVP at that rate, so maybe you haven't pared it down enough?
