I've been using the analogy for 30 years now.

I've taught both programming and guitar over the years, and in the end, those that endure the frustrations and loneliness of learning, because of whatever-inner-drive, have become successful, although it would seem that in this context, the word "successful" is perhaps fairly arbitrary, which also may be at issue here.

It really isn't much more complicated then that.

I just cannot see any shortcut in learning to play guitar besides actually playing an hour a day, with very sore fingertips and sounding like crap, for months, although, of course, my encouragement and beginner-level instruction in how to play "Seven Nation Army" and "Brain Stew" is, at some level, probably sort of helpful.

Same with learning Python/C/JS/etc.

I have always loved the term grok as a wonderful descriptor of gaining these type of skills and knowledge, as it captures the essence of the idea almost perfectly.

I also don't think this indicates malicious intent. It's as likely that some collection of junior engineers who were tasked with something other than system security, simply invented something that was both insecure and obscure. This happens all the time. It takes a lot of extra time and code to engineer security and it's historically been one of the first things that product managers and senior management will toss out the door when the schedule inevitably becomes the gating factor. Hey, they fixed it. And you know, some Day One bugs are simply very very hard to fix when you find out years later that there's all this other code that depends on it...
That's tricky to evaluate, because you get the exact same narratives from people who claim sensitivity to glutamates, where we can be somewhat certain that there isn't a health connection.
Crazy scrolling issues in mobile safari. Getting the orange background at the bottom as if the whole page is scrolling past its ends while the content crawls past. Even when that settles, scrolling is jarringly stopping and starting, with no deceleration. Please don't try to re-implement native browser scrolling poorly :(
At the same time, theres a very high amount of managers and HR who want someone who has worked in those libraries, period. They want people that will tell them "I'm an X developer".

> Stevia is new and it is being promoted by big industry...

Stevia, the plant, is not new. Menacing industry in that equation is artificial sweetener interests that used government(s) to ban importation and ban the option to label stevia as a sweetener in the United States and elsewhere. It was still widely sold, bought, and consumed. Strains vary. Some have a bitter aftertaste. Some are bred to be mostly sweet with minimal aftertaste. Whether it's consumed as dried plant matter, ground, or as newer extracts, a wide sampling sifts out tasty, palatable strains.

> I am fine with it being on the market...

I'm fine with lettuce being on the market. It's smart to be skeptical about everything, especially on an individual level, and more so given your experience. I avoid artificial sweeteners, also. Not enjoying the taste helps.
Physics Problems to Challenge Understanding
While we might be able to draw stronger conclusions from a larger study, the effects on the participants were strong, and the information might benefit the readers directly. So I'd argue it's worthy of inclusion in the wellness blogs area even if it's not really hard science reporting.
Similar unrelated problem here, too, on the sole machine now running the Heartbleed test.

After recompiling with Go 1.4 (from Go 1.2 - apparently the network poller was rewritten?) I'd start running out of file descriptors really fast, all leaking deep in net/http.ReadRequest.

Turns out http.DefaultServer doesn't have any default ReadTimeout, so when a client goes away before finishing a request I'd lose the goroutine and the file descriptor with it.

So yeah, you probably also want to explicitly set http.Server.ReadTimeout if you are not doing weird streaming/"comet" stuff.
Ask HN: Did you ever run your startup from a different country?
Just curious to know if there's anyone who ran their startup from a different country be it short or long term

Why does the institution that does this sort of lending have to be the same one that holds my checking account?
I'd expect other people to do the audits, short the banks that fall short, and then publish their reports.

I think back in 1929 we didn't have the transparency requirements that I was suggesting. (And if you really want a bank that survives any run, you will have to pick one that offers no-fractional banking, and suffer high costs on average. Might be worth it for some.)

It's kinda sad that something like this only gets a couple of votes, while everyone is raving about the latest Apple products ... this is where the heart of Apple is, or at least used to be.

They're around. Doctests cover most of the library, many modules have main()s that take care of some more complex unit tests, then the applications that use the utilities cover a lot of regression cases. Tests are kept as close to the code as possible to keep each module independent and self-explanatory, as explained here: https://boltons.readthedocs.org/en/latest/architecture.html
I think an important point Snowden makes is that the words used in the passphrase should be unlikely to be in a dictionary. In other words, the phrase should be one to which a language model[1] would assign low probability, as there are hugely many of such phrases, whereas higher probability phrases are less numerous.

If you only want to target that system then it's fine to use every capability it offers. If you want to target more systems you have to either work with the lowest common denominator or write several times the same operating system specific code for each OS.

GNU make is still make, which in my opinion has quite some warts. So for my view portability is the biggest reason why to use make. If you want to be portable and the features outlined in the posix standard aren't enough for you, you might as well use something else.
Show HN: Staked – The Place for Predictions
I appreciate your reply. I think one of the reasons I feel that it isn't an innate trait for me at least is that I didn't procrastinate as much as I do now until I started college. Perhaps I always had this tendency, but its intensity is something I hope to temper. It isn't until recent months that I've decided to do something about it, so hopefully, I'm not due for surrender yet.

I had a rather romantic and gifted English teacher in my first year of college who claimed that procrastination is a part of the creative process, likening it hatching an egg, she claimed that procrastinating helped mature ideas before you put pen to paper, similar to the idea to use procrastination time to fully develop a solution to a problem, as you said. Yes, there is a correlation of my hearing of her doctrine and my increased procrastination, but I can't blame her for it.
>These fights are fantasies in Card's head, projections of what he thinks makes for righteous cleansing of that which he sees as besetting him from all sides. It's the ol' "'Merica is going to hell in a handbasket". He feels like everyone is out to get him, his way of life, and he is surrounded, so escape isn't an option. And if someone dies in the process, it's not his fault, he was "just" defending himself. Because in his head, he's fighting for survival, and might makes right.

Any animal is willing to kill the other, said Ender, but the higher being includes more and more in things within their self story, until there is no other. Until at last the needs of others are more important than any private desires. The highest beings of all are the ones who are willing to pay any personal cost for the good of those who need them.

Quick note- your survey assumes that each startup has only two co-founders, therefore, your results may be skewed by responses like the one I just submitted. I met my non-tech cofounder ("cofounder2") in first grade, but our tech cofounder ("cofounder3") I've known for less than a year. However, cofounder2 has known cofounder3 for a few years... I hope you post your findings, I'd love to see what everybody responds.
This is probably hopeless but all towns/cities dictate how properties in given areas can be used (i.e. zoning). They may change those rules but, for good reason, those rules are rarely retroactive. "Too bad about your house on one acre. We have five acre minimum zoning now. You'll have to tear it down--and good luck selling that property."

So there are restrictions on pretty much any use of property in a given town or state. The ability to build a house, run a farm, or build an asphalt plant is allowed or not allowed by the zoning. It's not about having a special "right to farm" any more or less than it's about having a special "right to build a house."

EDIT: Just add that the "right to farm" bylaws are mostly a reminder, especially to newcomers, that people have, um, a right to farm based on existing zoning. So don't move into our country town and then start a petition to close down the dairy farm down the street because it gets a bit smelly now and then during the summer.
Obviously it's pretty hard to produce easy to understand code with wrong abstractions. Objects or other data abstractions cannot help with control flow. Anonymous functions are for that.
But this is EBS + redundant NFS-mountable server, which is at least worth 2 EC2 instances as well as 2 x the EBS cost, which makes the equivalent ~$100 per month (m3.mediums) plus $0.20/GB/month for SSDs.
I can't tell if you're just trolling or if this is actually your sincere interpretation. Did we read the same article, at all? The takeaway from the one I read is, "if all you do is present information in a way that's accessible to extremely bright self-directed students and let the rest fail, you're not a real teacher. Our entire job is to find ways to make programming accessible and compelling to people that it doesn't immediately click with."

Digital nomads are huge benefit to local economy. I can't imagine country would start enforcing some outdated piece of legislation against them. In other words, even if it's illegal, it's not enforceable.

Outdated legislation which is no longer enforced is common everywhere. For example Alabama has a homophobic law which says this must be included in every sex education program:

"homosexuality is not a lifestyle acceptable to the general public and that homosexual conduct is a criminal offense under the laws of the state."

There is a means to do that: http://ddeville.me/2013/06/ruby-like-nil-messaging-in-object...

I have a feeling it wouldn't work well in practice if you made the handler raise an exception. As the author notes, you're not the only one sending messages, and Cocoa will probably crash your program with a nil message send sooner or later. But you might be able to use it to find out where it's happening, at least.
I have a question: if I run a bunch of usermode processes on a hyper-v container and they make system calls to interact with the kernel, will the kernel they will be interacting with be running within the container? I.e. does each Hyper-V container run a distinct Windows kernel for each contained workload? Or is there just one single and common kernel on the host and mechanisms like EPT and other virtualization hardware extensions are used to isolate user mode only?

Being a stripper and being a hooker are different things, but I think there's a high degree of correlation.

I've known three strippers (for reasons unrelated to their careers), and I know for certain that in all cases their choice of profession was absolutely a personal choice. The cost/benefit opportunity was the best one open to them, and they took it.

Like I said, stripping isn't the same thing, and of course anecdote isn't the singular of data. But my experience personally, and what I hear second-hand elsewhere, makes it difficult for me to believe that violence and force are significant factors in that world. And to the extent that they are present, it seems more likely that they enter the picture precisely because it's an outlaw black market lifestyle, and if allowed in the light of day that aspect would likely disappear.

<citation needed> on the "run well even on 5+ years old hardware" bit. Sure, the OS will boot and work, but that doesn't mean things will work well.

My late 2011 13-in MacBook Pro became unbearably slow after doing a clean upgrade to Mavericks. Only upgrading the memory to 8GB (which was not supported by Apple for that model) fixed the issue. Yosemite works, but looks like crap on anything without a retina display. Newer versions of iOS have a habit of making older phones become sluggish when compared with the same phone model running an older version of iOS.

I'm not expecting Microsoft-level backwards compatibility, but as someone that has a somewhat complex development environment having to get everything to work on a new version of the OS can take up to a week of tweaking.
In addition, popularity translates into more libraries, which constitutes a huge portion of a platform's value.
But if you continue to eat low-carb, you don't end up with blood sugar spikes.

I know I'm much better off on a low-carb diet than I ever have been, and my blood glucose level is much more stable. My brain works better, and I've lost a lot of weight. But I can't pig out on sweets or I get a hangover. It's a tradeoff.

On the plus side, the sugar-loving bacteria in my gut have probably mostly died off, since I no longer get sugar cravings like I used to. So I don't feel like pigging out on sugar. Works for me.
The Juggler showed off the Amiga graphic abilities. It is what helped sell some of the 1986 and 1987 Amiga computers.

Before that it was a bouncing checkered beach ball. Other computers did their own bouncing ball, but the Amiga could multitask and had multiple bouncing beach balls, each program running on its own. I think you could have multiple jugglers as well.

> Same with learning Python.

A language is like an instrument, once you know one, learning the next will be much easier, because you already know about rhythm and harmonics. Each new instrument, even a new guitar, is a ear opener, as it forces one to play different, to learn fresh.

Same with programming languages. Learning a new language becomes trivial after the first dozen. But each new one widens the way one see code.
