Just FYI, there are many cases of malware (presumably browser extensions) targeting online bankings in Indonesia recently. The typical flow is like this:

1. The user logs in to his/her online banking website.
2. The malware gets triggered and phones home with user's credentials.
3. The bad guy logs in using user's credentials in own computer.
4. The bad guy initiates bank transfer from user's account to his account.
4. The bad guy is presented with "enter auth code" to confirm the transaction.
5. The malware pops up "Verify your auth code" into user's computer.
6. Thinking "it must be new method from my bank", user types his/her auth code.
7. The auth code gets sent to the bad guy, allowing him to complete transaction.
8. Profit.

Even tech savvy people can be a victim if he's being careless.

? for HN.  Any legit non-lethal firearms alternatives for law enforcement?
Something like a taser isn't enough as to truly replace firearms it would need to be non-lethal and obviously somehow completely incapacitate at range. It's "cops and their guns" so ostensibly this might seem like an American problem but I'd imagine if you pulled it off it could be an enormous industry worldwide.

This just seems like a critical problem in need of a solution (which might require funding etc. but would have enormous potential)

The obvious impetus for the question is the latest senseless murder in South Carolina.
Welcome to NASA's Data Portal
I've been xp/scrum (what a god-awful word btw) since 02. I've seen it work extremely well many times, with very large teams, and small (process weight shrinks w/team size).

Agile isn't a set of processes, it's a set of principals.

I completely agree that it's become a terrible cargo cult in many shops, easily as heavy as RUP.

Ymmv.
Every morning, I ask myself, "Just when do you plan on getting out of the bed?" And then I hop right out of bed.

I think vijucat is right that you probably still need to figure out what you even want out of life. Just, for every answer you come up with, then ask yourself "and then what will I have?" And if the cycle doesn't end somewhere with "happiness", then you're not on the right track.

It's important to decide on your own metrics for success and not let others dictate it to you. Who are you working for, anyway? I mean, in the most basic sense, are you working to make a life for yourself or a life for these other people? What should their opinion on your success matter?

Then get really fucking honest with yourself. If you really, truly love software development, and you're goofing off on HN all the time, yeah, you're a piece of shit. Don't hide from that fact. Get it wedged deeply into your head "I've spent the last 3 hours trawling HN for content, I am a piece of shit." And maybe you'll learn to have some respect for your time.

Speaking of respect for your time, I also find that forcing myself to not work outside of work hours makes the work hours more "real" to me, and I get a lot more done during that time. I try to guard my time: this over hear is the time I spend goofing off, this over hear is the time I work, I don't want work to encroach on my goofing off, so I don't let goofing off encroach on my work.

Part of that comes from understanding that there is effectively an infinite amount of work. The work will always be there, and I will die before it is done. There is no sense in burning my entire life away without any enjoyment on a fool's errand. Unless you're a fire-fighter or an emergency room doctor, there is no such thing as urgency to work, it is all an invented construct. So don't let other people force it on you.

Speaking as someone who is not familiar with Oyster…
The journalist (Davey Alba) has left out some critical context to drive home the significance of Oyster’s foray into "ebook retail".

After doing some research, here’s the part that the Wired article doesn’t make explicit:

Yes, the Oyster subscription service is has titles from "all 5 big publishers" and yes, it is "unlimited" but the catch is that the content is mostly the publishers’ back catalogs. In other words, a brand new book release would not have been available on the $9.95 subscription service on the first day. This is similar to Amazon Prime Instant Video where the old seasons of TV shows are free but the latest/last/current season costs $$$. Spotify for music also works like that for some artists; Adele has her old songs available in the subscription but her brand new song might only be available from iTunes for $1.29.

It looks like a common industry pattern of segmentation whether it's books, videos, or songs: the old stuff can be packaged into cheap subscriptions but the new stuff will command a separate premium.

With Oyster adding the ebook retail component, members can get access to the very latest books without waiting months (or years) for the title to show up as a subscription option. The members simply buy the ebook as a separate additional charge from the $9.95 subscription.

Since Jeff Bezos’ seems to have a very antagonistic relationship with the book publishers, it gives Oyster a chance for significant ebook sales.

What’s odd is that Jeff Bezos studied Walmart and he surely knows that the brick&morter stores share analytics sales data with their vendors. That way, the vendors can maximize efficiency of their supply chains and in turn, offer lower prices to Walmart. The article implies that amazon.com does not share analytics with the publishers (unlike Oyster) . I don’t know why Bezos would be so guarded about it since it can help publishers fine tune their offerings which in turn should help Jeff sell more ebooks and Kindle devices. Maybe he thinks he needs that proprietary data as a comparative advantage for his own publishing house[1]. However, it seems unrealistic to think many major authors would jump to Amazon Publishing because amazon has better analytics.

You have articulated the usual list of excuses for not investing in cycling, and none of the excuses survives close scrutiny. There are many cities right now with a variety of climates, topographies, land use forms and densities that have very high rates of daily cycling. What's more, the cities with high rates of cycling all got there the same way: by investing in extensive, continuous networks of high quality cycling infrastructure.

A few more issues.

* Stealing:

You need a secure location to drop your bike, or you're under the risk of losing it[1]. I knew it was risky, but I never knew how easy, cheap and fast it is to steal a bike[2].

* Speed:

I used to ride above average speed on dedicated and isolated channel lanes (Ourcq), but you can't always keep that pace. Kids, families, slower users... It's risky for everyone. In town lanes are thinner and more crowded, thus I guess slower.

What was amazing was all of what BeOS could accomplish on almost exactly the same hardware Apple was shipping. Pretty extraordinary accomplishment at the time. There are some technologies in NeXT which are invaluable today e.g. the native PS/PDF support and UNIX underpinnings but I think BeOS would've delivered far more bang for the buck in the short to medium term. I agree it's great to look back and wonder what if.

One technology that always gets forgotten in this saga was WebObjects. Had Apple actually released it for free it could've been the standard for all web applications built during that time. Absolutely nothing came remotely close to it. Instead it went on to inspire technologies like Hibernate and JSP/JSF which dominated early web applications.
Thanks! And you're right - it is not intended as a production tool.

If sweating from the exertion is a problem, you could use something like an electric unicycle. They go up to 25km/h for 20km, can take hills, and are good for the "last mile" problem of getting to/from the train or metro. Judging from the YouTube videos they already seem to be in use around Paris:

First of all do an SEO audit by yourself or try some paid tools like Alexa SEO audit.

Based upon audit report invest your money where you lag.

I always look for behavioral solutions first, because they are often easier to execute than quasi-philosophical changes of outlook, and IMO are often underestimated in their effectiveness.

Have you tried waking up early? I find that I will similarly veg out from 5pm onward. For the past few months I've been faithfully getting out of bed at 5:45 every morning (with the help of a clock radio). The peace hours between 6 and 9 are my favorite part of the day now.

I have 3 hours to myself to work on projects, work on a MOOC, do a self-check and orient myself to deal with the day.
Note that perspiration and metabolism in general varies greatly by person. Some people can ride a bike and not sweat; others will sweat, whatever they do (even if they are in a reasonably good shape).

I can do 160 km in a day on a bike (maybe more but that's the record over past year), but I can't do 2 km so that I wouldn't have to change shirt and preferably take a shower if I'm going to a business meeting.
Not to say that this is not a useful standard, but I do think we are beyond "inconvenience" here.

Following the current trajectory, surveillance is only going to grow as technology makes it easier and easier to gather more and more information without being noticed.
That's actually cool, as it would also allow clipping against a "foreground" by varying the address of the scanline mask. E.g. imagine foreground trees in a jungle scene.
Ours does too. I find that it is nice to have the additional information when the commit message is a bit general. Although this is a problem with the message itself.

It also can be helpful months later when needing a reminder why something was changed based on an assumed unimportant detail at the time.
My answer to some of those issues have been to use a folding bike and combining transport modes.

A 15km ride might be 13km of RER and 2km of biking, on some trips it's pretty damn fast even compared with a car that has to contend with traffic.

It doesn't solve the rain issue on the other hand. Especially as folding bikes generally have smaller wheels that tend to skid on wet pavement.

"This extension will have access to your browsing history and private data on all websites".

Which is usually accompanied by the developer apologising and explaining they have to declare this in order to provide the extension's core functionality. Users then learn to ignore these warnings, malicious extensions ensue.

I'm glad Google is taking malicious extensions seriously, but purging is a difficult semi-manual effort when extensions can update any time. A lot more effective would be to bake security into the whole model. Extensions shouldn't need to see your entire browsing history on all sites just to enhance some links or do syntax highlighting.

It should also be possible to request permissions on demand, and for certain URLs, instead of blanket-consenting before the extension is even installed. I know these things are a trade-off with simplicity, but should at least be there for orgs and individuals who want to take advantage of them.

That's the way of the world.

'better' is a fuzzy term, what catches on 'is' the best, in some way, if that's the metric we observe. Everything that was 'better' failed in some regards, either came too early, wasn't aligned with mass market of users (lisp, smalltalk, sml), neglected some detail that wasn't a detail for the mainstream (why PHP instead of Perl), etc etc.

I spent the last 10 years wondering why so much beautiful things died in the past while we suffer subpar systems. And everytime there's a stupid indirect but perfectly valid reason. Less is more, or something of this kind. Nature.
Vague details from memory: To make the vertical borders disappear, you could reset the refresh timing (maybe it was just by switching from 50Hz to 60Hz mode) halfway through a frame, and the video chip on the ST would desync from the retrace in the CRT. The only way I know to draw on the horizontal borders of a vanilla ST was by perfectly timed border color changes - I used that along with the compiled sprites technique discussed elsewhere in this post, to write a border-less horizontal scroller.

It sounds like you have two problems: one long-term and one short-term.

Long-term problem: Comparing yourself to others. When done in modest amounts this can be a huge source of inspiration. But taken too far and it becomes a sure path to anxiety. Beyond that threshold the only person you should be comparing yourself to is the "you" from yesterday.

Short-term problem: Sounds like you have an addiction to distraction. I suffer from this also and just started reading this[0]. Too early into it to tell if it will help but so far it looks promising. I've also found the Pomodoro technique helpful.

1) Remember that tech news is biased towards that kind of people. They are the "ideal", young "wizkids", the ones that fit the narrative. The fact that you don't hear about 30 or 40-something entrepeneurs/engineers with great ideas that make a difference and/or make millions doesn't mean they don't exist.

2) You need to understand that there is always going to be somebody better, more talented and/or more hardworking. Remember to play the market, assess yourself objectivly, understand your strengths, understand the context, see the real problem, know where to push and get good at timing your pushes. Don't bruteforce, be sophisticated, precise and elegant. And most importantly, understand that the alternative to "The Constant Grind" is NOT being a couch potato. Remember that beating yourself accomplishes nothing. Be prepared to accept that if the procastination is too deep maybie, just maybie, you might just be lying to youself when you say you "love" what you are doing.

Sounds like the smartwatch Samsung would've built (and has kind of already done it). Except I remember the idea of "smartphone on your wrist" being met with much more hostility in reviews than in Apple Watch's case. In the reviews for Samsung's smartwatches it was called a "stupid idea". In the Apple Watch's reviews it's "well...you learn to cope with it".

I'm not defending Samsung's watches. I think all smartwatches are a solution in search of a problem right now, and that most implementations are either terrible or insufficient. Just pointing out the obvious bias for one company.

I think what Microsoft is trying to say, and what the article is doing a poor job of communicating, is that the company believes that there are some autistic people who have much to contribute to Microsoft, but they are currently disadvantaged by current hiring processes which rely so heavily upon interviews. The idea of trying to find alternative ways to assess candidates that don't rely so completely on interviews/high pressure social situations seems laudable to me, even if in this article it was poorly expressed.
