A lot of people are late bloomers.

Then again, some people are just incapable of socializing. I know at least one person like that who is older than you, single, and gets looked over for a lot of activities at the community group we both frequent because people feel that he's incapable of holding a conversation.

Yet he's harmless and tries to be social but it just comes out wrong and in all his years he has never learned.

Then on the other hand I'm 30 and I just recently in the last 4-5 years started blossoming. I'm not saying I'm extrovert yet but I've realized a detail about being introvert and that is that we thrive in social situations as long as we can rest after and recuperate. Resting requires silence and alone time, or time with very close friends and spouses.

Not that I would share his views, but he is a relatively well known German security expert and free software activist (dietlibc). He knows GnuPG pretty well and basically says: Werner, you don't deserve our donations, stop crying, get a day job and maintain GnuPG in your spare time.

That's a lot of horrible. It's not all rainbows in India but downsides like the ones you mentioned are not all there is.

That said, I was vastly more impressed with the infra in SZ than Bangalore. SZ is a modern metropolis where Bangalore, well... It has pockets of shiny corporate havens I the suburbs. (FWIW, I personally prefer the grit of downtown BGL to SZ anyway)
Are you a Digital Nomad?
Don't worry about what others might think of you. But do worry about what you think about yourself. Aside from the facts that you mentioned what do you think about yourself right now? Are you happy with your body? are you happy with your career? are you happy with your hobbies? Do you eat well? Do you exercise regularly? Do you take care of yourself well? ...

Bottom line: Be someone YOU respect and like. The rest will take care of itself.

If you don't like yourself, nobody else will.
> What does the ease of copying have to do with the moral justification for protecting something? Creating a new book certainly isn't an act that happens in a few milliseconds.

He/She was asserting it as the moral equivalent. Taking someone's land involves deprivation, passive copying of a book etc doesn't imply that in all/most cases.
Why do you approach them in the first place? Are you genuinely curious about them as people, or do you want them to fill some need / ache / void in you?

If you think it may be leaning towards the latter, try to look deep within yourself and understand what it is you need. The next step would be to meet this need by yourself. Trying to use other people seldom works well, in my experience.

On the other hand, if it's the former, does it come across to them that you are genuinely interested? Do you keep eye contact most of the time? Do you pay attention when they are talking, and do you listen to what they are saying without thinking about what you should be saying next? Are you listening more than you are talking?
Building Datastructures using just Closures
Im sure this won't be well received by a large number of people here, but it's very true.

Adding fancy JS/XHR "improvements" to an existing site/app that works using regular anchors and form submissions can be very simple.
Going the other way is almost always harder, and often impossible (i.e. it effectively is abandoned or becomes a rewrite).
Hang in there buddy. As others have said it all starts with being content with yourself first. Focus on your hobbies, especially those that come with an "instant community". Get out and do new things and enjoy life. Everything you do gives you some new perspective and interesting new things to talk about with people. Try joining some new MeetUp groups and see if you click with anybody.

Also, make sure you have the basics all covered. I'm not saying any of these apply to you specifically as obviously I don't know, but the basics would include proper hygiene, good breath/dental care, dress in neat, clean clothes, etc.

Finally, you also might want to try reading some books on the subject of interpersonal skills. There are a lot of quick practical tips in the areas of body language and ways to communicate that make other people feel good about themselves when they are around you.
That's a non-sequitur -- busybox isn't a replacement for glibc. In fact, the busybox package included with Debian is linked against glibc, and I would assume the same is true for most other distributions.

Quick rundown of my impressions:

Good:

+ "Bookkeeping Services For Your Business" – The headline is short and stands out

+ "Request an invite" – Call to action stands out and repeated on top & bottom. However, I'm not sure what this action will accomplish. Will I get access immediately? Will a sales rep contact me?

+ Listing partners and "featured in" makes you feel more important. But is Oracle really your partner somehow? (you mention OpenOffice.org) Also, perhaps add client testimonials?

Not-so-good:

- Font sizes are all over the place. Headline should only have one font size. The brief summary right under it should be bigger than the standard-sized text in benefits descriptions, etc.

- "Learn more" link is below the fold on my 15" laptop screen, and the page looks quite complete without it. Some people might not get the idea to scroll down depending on your audience.

- Instead of "Submit" and "Send" buttons, use descriptive labels like "Request invite" (bonus points: A/B test a few variations)

- Benefits are impossible to skim. The sections should be titled in a useful way, e.g. "Deep Analytics", "Low, predictable cost" etc.

- I've just noticed you have a dedicated "features" page with more content. And "prices" and some other stuff. But they're buried in the footer in tiny gray text. No one will see them. Also – they open in a new tab? Boo... But good that you have the call-to-action on those pages too.

- Front page doesn't really address why I should choose your app over something else. It is a web app... right? I'm not sure because there are no screenshots, not even a teaser. That alone would be a dealbreaker for me personally, and I feel that unless you're selling something for $1000/month and do high-touch sales, you do need to at least show me your product, let alone let me register for it without invites or contacting sales.

- Please, please don't use puzzle (or humanoid) clip art. Even if it's custom-made for you... It's such an overused concept, my bullshit detector is screaming Full alert. This is not a drill every time I see it.

https://medium.com/@TapLink/the-password-defense-league-c416...

(I'm not happy with how Jeremy re-purposed the words "blind hashing" to mean essentially the approach I had recommended as a better alternative to his original "blind hashing", which I criticized in the ZeroNights talk, but other than that I agree with what he wrote.)

To "make it harder to parallelize assuming attacker does get the file" (actually, to increase the cost per candidate password tested, not to make anything literally "hard to do"), I propose that "best of both worlds" approach (see my ZeroNights slides). And you're right, this means "designing an entire password hash, not just a friendly wrapper" (thus, different from Jeremy's work, and more similar to my work on yescrypt).
Sorry, I'm not being clear here. I mean they were upgrading the OS to something newer, I'm not saying that Debian is (or should be) updating Lenny.

What you've written above comes across as the nightmare requirements spec from a client. You're being too vague. You need to deconstruct yourself and your life. Your personality, your habits, where you live and how you live. What you want out of life.

Consider NLP, consider getting involved in things that you find uncomfortable (e.g. amateur dramatics). Join meetup.com and locate groups in your area doing stuff and pop along. Talking to people is hard.

Smarten yourself up. Make yourself look great ALWAYS. Change the way you get to work. Consider cycling/walking. Exercise. Run a half marathon. Follow a passion. Get into local campaigning. Be involved in society. Join a debating society. Avoid MMORPGs as a social outlet ;)

Love yourself (but not in an arrogant way).

AND when you are ready, do something crazy.

You're almost 30. It's time you circumvented the world by train and boat. Consider backpacking around India. Go climb a mountain. Tour across America on a bicycle.

You're single. You have no dependents. You can go anywhere and be anyone. Telecommute from Vietnam.

I would say your statement about going to clubs indicates a way of thinking about getting 'hooked up' that probably does not suit you.

Also hanging out with work colleagues is not good. Going for a drink is fine. People have their own social lives and doing drunk stuff in front of work colleagues can be a very bad thing. People connect with people at work because of the interests they have outside of work, not because they share the same workplace.

Maybe suggest moving into a house with a group of people.

I would also say that from the way you state people don't talk to you is that you have a personality trait some people find uncomfortable.
In that vein, sometimes one can over-interpret normal behaviors as more negative than they actually are. The book "Feeling Good" [1] covers this, and ways to deal with it in a very accessible and straightforward way.

There's this thought constantly bugging me - Python is popular among data scientists, but it also happens to be quite a slow language (roughly speaking) in comparison to the likes of Java or Go for instance. Hypothetically speaking, would it not be more beneficial to use something like Rust instead?
I think that maybe "trigger happy" is an unfair term here - being that they are usually expecting to find a terrorist / hostage situation.

But I agree with your main point: it's only a matter of time until someone gets killed in one of these.

I wasn't arguing that either way was better, just seeing the positives where negatives have been noted.

I personally haven't wasted anywhere near as much time with Python indentation compared to missing braces. I hated the whitespace thing at first, and it was only after going back to doing some Perl I noticed that the problem wasn't present in Python.

Though the fact that most other languages use braces is a pain, as it makes swapping between Python and Java / Perl / JavaScript / etc tricky, as I tend to get into the habit of using or not using semicolons at the end of a line.
As you get into your late 20s and early 30s most people are looking to get married if they haven't already. At that point social life is going to mostly turn into family, wife, kids and work related friends. I'm 32 and recently married and I find it very hard to justify spending much of my time socializing outside of those above contexts. It's often nothing personal and from my own perspective I would actually like to have more friends but after going through a lot of friends over the years it's proven to be rarely worth the long term investment. I'm not going to chase down others to get together and they likewise. There probably isn't a whole lot wrong with you and judging by the desperation at which people try to gain attention on social networks it seems like far more people are lonely then they openly admit - in other words you aren't alone. If you really want to give it a go to gain more friends I would suggest looking for social groups with shared interests, such as recreational sports teams, programming meetups, or whatever you personally like. Attend events that you have interests in, travel by yourself (I used to all the time in my early 20s) and in general just try to make yourself a bit more interesting. Learn to pick up on social cues better, focus on listening rather than talking and go out of your way to help people that you aren't even that close with in simple ways. Online dating is also a good way to meet new people and practice social skills without much risk (you can cut off contact at any point).
I agree; but don't sweat on it too much. If you constantly question yourself if you're doing the right thing, then you're not.

(Oh - there's nothing wrong with you. Really)
Assuming that you've checked that you're not actually repulsive (halitosis, habitual drooling or unchecked running nose, pants hiked up to your rib cage and smelly, unwashed shirts), then it's most likely that you're just not finding the kind of people with whom you have chemistry.

I felt rather similarly in my early and mid twenties. I didn't click with people, and it always felt like too much effort to socialize. Then I moved to the Bay Area and my life changed over the course of two months. I finally met people with interests and goals I could relate to.

For what it's worth, if I were doing it again now, I'd move to a great city and exploit things like Meetup.com, get out, and take up every class and activity that so much as caught my eye.

Remember: to be interesting, you have to be interested.

Fun, but at best this article and the linked blog are missing critical details. Other organizations (e.g. http://ianxen.com/) have been working on similar technology involving optics, image processing and a blood sample -- and the associated consumables.

Even assuming the tech is sorted the more interesting questions involve how, from a health systems perspective, these things can be deployed in rural health centers at a scale that matters. Some hard training/security/procedure/money questions to figure out, and I haven't heard much about these issues yet. Unclear if it's because the technology isn't ready for prime time or other reasons.
> Let us instead pity the poor metal worker whose CNC machine cannot be moved across the shop floor without triggering its GPS-dependant DRM.

There's more to it than that. Machines in the sub .0001 precision class are so sensitive to being moved around that it can take weeks of careful calibration to get them to operate within spec. That 'gps-lockdown' is to make sure the machine doesn't get moved around just for the heck of it taking it out of spec and then having the manufacturer turn up after a bunch of complaining.

I'm not saying that that isn't being abused in this particular case but there actually can be good reasons for this. Ostensibly another reason is that some guy in Iran could set up a shop in the US as a front, buy a bunch of these machines and then ship them to evade an embargo so that's why they are locked to location.

In the case of high precision milling machines sometimes they have the machine make it's own calibrated clamp down area to compensate for any deformation suffered during a move. With lathes the situation is even more complex.

The calibration gear costs a multiple of what the machine itself costs, usually works on the laser-interferometry principle and is removed off-site after the initial calibration (it takes a totally different set of knowledge to operate than the knowledge required to operate the machine). So you can't just pick that machine up, move it 10', move it back and expect it to still produce acceptable work.
It's easier to connect when you have something in common.

So my suggestion is that you join some group doing things you like - be it art, music sport or anything else that you like and will introduce you to different people (suggestion: not some technical group).

My personal change came when I joined a sports group (triathlon in my case). I was never a good athlete but I did get a change to meet a lot of new people. Indirectly I have found my wife through that group.
Which is why George Osbourn ()conservative chacellor) thinks the minimum wage soudl rise he be paying less in inwork benefits.

How did he use a laptop at that angle to play SC2?

Without knowing you personally it's really hard to say.

My personal experience with friendships/relationships is that it is a chicken and egg problem. It's a lot lot lot easier to make new friends when you already have many (same goes with romantic/sexual relationships). It probably has to do with social proof dynamics and the fact that you might be unintentionally signalling insecurity through body language and appear to be desperate. It's possible that a lot of the people you talk to think something like "there must be a reason this 29 year old guy doesn't appear to have any friends".

One drastic solution would be to move to a new city or country which would make it more socially acceptable for you to openly seek out new friends without appearing to be desperate. Another option would be to join a local sports team or other group activity where socialising isn't the central goal (poker, working out, hackatons, hiking, etc.).

Finally, HN is probably the wrong crowd to ask for this kind of advice. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/, http://boards.askmen.com/ and other similar "lifestyle" communities would probably yield more interesting results as a lot of the people on those forums are there specifically because they have gone through similar situations.
I can confirm the 1 in 10 rule. It really is like this. Then you loosen up and don't care any more. Then things happen.

As an indie app developer, I already struggle with people ripping off my apps and publishing them in various app marketplaces under similar or identical names, or taking my web app, wrapping it and charging money for it.

I have to imagine that if I used a free software licence, this would happen a lot more, and I wouldn't be able to issue takedown requests. Someone searching for the name of my app might find five or ten similar or identical looking results and have no idea which is mine. These other results might serve ads, track user behavior, gather personal information or perform other anti-user operations, leveraging the popular reputation my apps have built to do so.
[OpenCart]How to add a notification bar in your OpenCart 2.x store
The inventor of the B&D Workmate has earned a 3% royalty on 55 million sales. That's almost certainly over $100m. It's very rare to make a lot of money on a patent, but for something popular let alone ubiquitous it's entirely possible.
Interesting ideas, but the economics are bogus. Saying that successful companies avoid competition is like saying Joyce Gracie avoided competition in the early days of the UFC. Being so much better than you opponents that you beat then easily is not avoiding competition.

When people praise competition they are praising the conditions under which all people are able to complete for the same market ex ante. If one company develops a technology that renders others unable to compete, then they become a monopolist ex post. But it is the ex ante competition that allowed then to enter that market in the first place
Mailbox were always pretty clear that they have an "ideology" if you will. You don't have to subscribe to it, but the app is geared towards that, so if you don't want it, don't use that app. For my part, I find it extremely useful to stick to a zero inbox, which is my chief motivator for using Mailbox.
