Guess I'll be that guy - the design and content is nice and well done, but this is just bootstrap copy/paste to me; I don't see a lot of "coding talent" evident.

Not to say he doesn't have it, but creating a site like this basically requires finding a similar one and learning what classes to put into your bootstrap markup.

No New Trial for Ross Ulbricht, Judge Rules
I see a lot of comments saying to go outside. Not a bad idea, but I think you were looking for new ideas. Ways to be innovative. If that's what you meant, I found one new way of thinking is finding a hobby or interest and pursuing it for a while.
If it's ideas for software you want to write so you can make money, then you cross the two (your hobby and your job skills) with "hopefully" a fun project as a result. This is one of many routes to finding market niches. If it's no longer interesting to you, move on to your next item. Most people have a bucket list anyways, so I think it's a good practice for the sake of your feeling of life fulfillment.

I am creator of TextNut. Thanks for your comments. Some of my points:

* Price disclosed - Yes, it is not my false. No way to put price there. I don't want to baiting so I provide trial.

* File save location - You can export at current version, either in page or Library level. I am working on iOS version, after that TextNut will support icloud and dropbox.

* WYSIWYG - I believe this why TextNut is unique with others, it does not mix markdown delimiter with content, also provide a way to switch between markdown and rich mode

* Ulysses - unfortunately, after a few version upgrade, its UI more like Ulysses. Although I prefer you say I "rip-off" from Apple Mail most. Actually, I inherit most ideas from geniuswiki that I made since 2007. (That is why the link, image, footnote using curly bracket { to open popover!)
I checked in first line code of TextNut in early of 2011, but I stopped only after very roughly UI code https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDxHr19UIAEVArE.png:large. Although UI looks more different with current, but basic design idea never be changed since then, 3 panes: doc tree, editor, help(was call `Macro` from geniuswiki), doc title is updated by content, etc. I restarted TextNut dev since the middle of last year, I got a out-sourcing UI designer and give my first version design http://www.textnutwriter.com/img/1.png. After I add Theme in 1.1 version, I set the default theme as current light grey as it can accepted by most writers. In latest 2.1 version, Tree structure doc tree is supported, then final version looks like current. As independent developer, I only invest very small amount money for UI design. I hope users can more focus on core functionalities rather than colour palette at early stage.

PMP? Seriously?

(I'm not saying I know anything about the value of having this certification in terms of career prospects. What I do know is that you get to memorize a ton of horseshit to then spit it out in a brain-damaged multiple-choice test, and instinctively - not based on experience - I wouldn't want to manage a project in an org which values the "PMP" label, because it sounds like the kind of project where every pencil/square of toilet paper/etc. counts, the thing as well as the org in general being barely profitable.)
Give it about 6 months and someone will announce a container-based package manager.

It isn't just the time spent sorting/filtering hate emails. It's the impact of time passing on issues in legitimate emails that is wasted. Running a platform on the web that has as large a scope as Steam does is incredibly tenuous (ask anyone that works on SaaS applications), and if you aren't efficiently getting the info you need from outside to identify and fix these issues, then you are going to lose money when those issues inevitably make an impact on functionality. Downtime = lost money

A million is a pretty ass-pull number in an offhand comment, but it wouldn't surprise me if it rang true.
Probably not, depending on your definition of 'work' (overriding the existing animations, or combining them somehow?). I've yet to try it, would be interested to find out though!
There's your problem right there. If you had an MBA in BBC Studies, this wouldn't be an issue -- unless you already have an MBA in BBC studies, but received it a decade ago - then you just suck at timing.

At any rate, hurry up and graduate right now with an MBA in BBC Studies so that you can capitalize on a high valuation in the current market with synergistic timing for first to market strategies that optimize for and leverage the BBC Studies MBA multi-billion dollar social niche! You'll make the world a better place!
I'd be very okay with it. Then I could charge for my mod, and if their mod is popular it would probably help me sell more.
Thanks, I will fix.
Sorry, his trachea was crushed and his spinal cord was 80% severed according to his family, which presumably heard it from his doctor. I mis-typed that one.

So let me get this straight. He breaks his neck, but things are mostly OK since he's still walking around. Then he gets arrested and that's when the bones slip and paralyzes him from the neck down? Oh and somewhere in there his trachea gets crushed? Or was that crushed before hand too?

What you're suggesting is very, very implausible and so I wouldn't say that comparing it to something supernatural is all that mocking. The point is that rational people don't know everything about the world and to 100% discount the supernatural is pretty arrogant. But I think the odds that there was a two-factor injury to this guy are about the same as the odds that God snapped his neck. Can't rule it out completely (again nobody knows everything unless you're God), but probably not a good idea to argue it in court.
Yeah, thanks. That's what I was getting at. Going outside without changing my information environment wouldn't help me escape the filter bubble.

Thanks for the ideas.

As a 20 year old I'm frustrated that your eye for design is way better than mine, but at the same time, I'm also frustrated that you're listing projects and they're not on your github, nor are they apparently deployed at all... The images aren't hyperlinks.

EDIT: They do exist, disregard this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9459684

I've mocked websites and apps before too, but I always am sure to note that I've mocked it, not built it. If you're a front end web designer, there's no shame in that, there's a lot you can do with that. This site and eStavebny are more than enough to impress people. If the other stuff was available to look at, that'd be cool too. But don't mislead people, because if they're going to hire you, they are going to want to look deeper.

Last month my dad was telling me about the interns he was interviewing for this summer. He said he was most frustrated by the amount of overselling that these kids were doing for themselves. No, your management experience of managing your highschool robotics team is not relevant at a fortune 500 company. Related to this is the problem with college admissions. Everyone has a 4.0 with multiple APs and played varsity sports and can write a boring essay. Everyone is afraid to admit what they don't know. And I don't mean unknown unknowns, I mean known unknowns.

I'm coexisting in this problem just as much as you are, and I just want to say that I hate this. I wish we could all be honest with our skills and I wish employers would appreciate that honesty more. But we can't afford to be modest and honest, so I guess can't fault you for doing what we all do.

It's like steroids in baseball.
Hum, you could be right. I tried to install Discourse from source a while back on CentOS and gave up. A while later I tried the container method (Docker I believe) and bingo. So much magic going on under the hood though, dunno how I feel about it...
> Schengen does not abolish visas across member states, as they had already been non-existent.

I think that's not entirely true, as countries like Switzerland or Norway are not part of EU, so they have had visas which were abolished with Schengen.

As a commodity good with a physical presence, gold is traceable in the sense that it leaves evidence of its passage. The boat that carries it has a deeper draft, and burns slightly more fuel as a result, for instance. Even the "Die Hard 2" method works; it isn't necessary to follow the gold if you can find the dump trucks. Obviously, there is an upper limit to the amount of gold you can move without anyone noticing it.

Bits traversing networks are more traceable, but they are less identifiable. An encrypted packet passing through my home router could be a fraction of a family photo, or it could be a transfer of $1M worth of dark currency. You don't know unless you can decrypt it.
Captain Obvious strikes again.
When propaganda is really effective, it doesn't take a genius to be called an asshole.

40 years ago, you can express political views in america without worry of being shamed (called an asshole) or denigrated for it, unless you were being really hateful--- like joining the KKK.

Now people are able to effectively paint large swaths of people who are not assholes as "hate groups" or "terrorists" or "rape apologists" and the like.

Now merely disagreeing with the president makes you a racist. (Which is very ironic, given that those making the accusation of racism are doing so only because the president is black.)

Political Correctness has radically changed our society, and 1984 is seeming more real every day.
That is a good idea! I have it on my schedule to bring out a newer edition of my "Loving Lisp..." book in the next year, and I think I will use this to package the examples, even though installing Quicklisp should be something that any CL developer should do anyway.

The only studios that have lock in and network effects are those that launch successful MMOs. And the only independent company running a successful MMO at the moment is, as far as I know, CCP Games. Blizzard doesn't really count - they haven't been an independent company since 1994.
That's certainly the perception, but I still have to wonder how true it is vs how much is propaganda. Still, even if it is true that unions weren't necessary for a period of time, they most certainly have become necessary once again:

How else do you interpret "the wedge" except as the failure of labor to advocate strongly enough for its interests?
Duh. THAT term is 'super duper earth'.
Jumping on your comment since it seems most relevant, but the topic of propaganda is one that has mostly gone unmentioned.

Over the past few days, there has been a massive uptick in the use of social media to spread propaganda and incite further unrest. The most striking examples I've seen are the (seemingly) organized campaign on Twitter called #baltimorelootcrew. This tag is allegedly being used by looters to post images of people they assaulted and of items they stole. If you look at the accounts of the posters, their tweet histories often go back a few days with some really nasty racist stereotypes that would have probably fallen under Poe's Law if not for the fact that earlier Twitter history is loaded with nothing but "gamergate" and other social-justice-trolling stuff. So far it would seem that quite a few of these troll accounts are trying to fan the fire of racial tension.

Then there is the /r/baltimore subreddit. Non-residents from racist and troll subs have piled in and begun posting false "eyewitness" accounts under fake names as well as downvote brigading anyone who is trying to set the record straight (from right there on the ground). While the world is watching the baltimore subreddit, the most upvoted info is often completely fabricated to piss people off.

And then yesterday, there was the reddit live blog which was viewed by at least 10k people at any given time. A few folks who claimed to be transcribing the police scanner logs were in actuality posting false reports of incidents all over the city (which were not actually happening). At one point I messaged the account that was running it and somehow got replies from multiple accounts. When I mentioned that a lot of the info being posted was erroneous, the main poster replied "it's only fake until it's real".

This was also where they kept spamming the alleged flyers advertising more planned riots later in the day. As far as I can tell, these flyers did not originate in the community but from online trolls.

People all over town and around the nation are following Twitter, Reddit, and other social sites but so much of the information is either malicious or part of the dangerous rumor mill that makes claims without verification and only serves to agitate people in a tense situation.
Hungary. I know life is different in the countries you mentioned -- lots of people flee from here to Germany and the UK.
At the same time, most companies check your social media profiles online and some even decide if they invite you to interviews based on what they see there.
Germany here. I know plenty of people that have done internships because their degree required it.
It's not that easy. Filtered news is addictive. It's like children's breakfast cereal with just the candy.

It validates your world views, makes you feel smart for agreeing with all the other "smart" people. I wouldn't be surprised to hear it triggers the same positive feedback loops as other psychologically addictive things.

Once you're thoroughly filtered and addicted, opinions that disagree with your bubbled opinions are painful to read. They feel like agressions.
This way, I always heard about the newest scandals,
*-gates, dramas, etc and I spent a lot of energy and time
thinking about them, discussing them with people on
Twitter. I let every little piece of drama get to me. I
felt exhausted. I felt angry most of the time. I was
frustrated.

It's like regular news all over again!
So cynical. But unfortunately, so true.
I'm deeply into photography (as a hobby/creative outlet) and I'm on a triathlon team (as a way to be outdoors and stay active). Having these two things motivates me to peel myself off my computer and definitely shifts my focus to something other than tech news which is very refreshing for the mind and body. You don't have to get deeply involved in a hobby, but I definitely agree that physically getting away from the computer and outside will help a lot to expose yourself to something different and get you thinking about something else.
Amusingly, these are some of the ideas that are surely posted constantly as part of OP's filter bubble. Because, of course, they are good suggestions.
Growing up we used to wonder as to why our Dad was glued to the Radio or TV... he was used to watching/listening to news at every possible opportunity..

I realised later it ws no different to my constant refreshes of my favourite sites.

My dad was a school dropout and I theorised this was his attempt to remain informed and that gave him a sense of achievement.

I haven't figured out my addiction to the news, maybe I am taking after my Dad.

I have tried to set limits at it and when I am away from the computer, I have no problem missing the news but when I am close, self-discipline is my only answer for now.
Can't you just symlink it into your dropbox folder?
This kind of reminds me of just statically linking everything. We have not done that because it is a waste of resources but containers are all right then. :)

(OK, I'm aware of the differences, but I don't see containers as a salvation for client-side deployment.)
Baby steps, man.

I'm just saying that we have solved the "produce enough food for everyone" problem, and that's pretty great, even if we have other problems that have to do with hunger that we still haven't fixed.

Certainly, our ability to produce cheap food is vastly reducing the number of starving people out there, and that's good, even if there are still problems to solve in that arena.
I don't see the same background effect on this site. Where is it? I can see it on the VI page, though.
I find that people associated with things I'm interested in often have terrible things to say about different things I'm interested in. (For example I come across a lot of hostile anti-HN sentiment at conferences and among coworkers, HN pretty much hates John Gruber, etc)

I'm not sure what that's a sign of, exactly, but I feel like if it were a filter bubble there would be less of that.
They should just all be in PPAs on Ubuntu.
Very impressive...If your skills are as good as you claim, I'd hire you full-time now if I had an opening; you may want to reconsider whether finishing school is a worthwhile investment of your time and money.

One small tip on your site: Get rid of the word "with" in the "I can help you with" headings. It's grammatically incorrect for the way your lists are phrased, and having "I can help you" appear three times on the page is a nice subliminal message!
Buying them would be rewarding them.
A suggestion I have to avoid filter in news is to read news directly from news agencies (Reuters, AP, AFP and the like).

They aren't perfect, but contrarily to newspapers that are incentivised to pander to their readers, news agencies have a business incentive to be neutral: they want to be able to sell the same article to all sides of the issue.
This was the impression I got from friends who worked in that industry after college. They were definitely at work for 80 to 100 hours per week, but it seemed like a lot of that extra time was stuff like waiting around for someone else to finish something, eating dinner at the office, or just hanging out because a higher up hadn't left yet.
Can this MacBook handle Windows VM with VirtualBox? My wife is considering this MacBook. She is not a power user/developer, mostly browsing, emails, word processing, and spreadsheets. But she also wants Windows VM for programs that don't have OSX versions or experience on OSX is not that good.
Make stuff, build stuff. Create a mental disconnection between new stuff you are learning, and stuff you have learned. Avoid making analogies. Consider that the things you must learn now, are challenges that you can only learn about inwardly. What I mean by that is, disconnect from the hive mind. Make an effort to see the difference. When you were in school, you had to put effort in to learn in a specific way. That way to learn may not be correct forever. Also, learn to live with the knowledge that we are always growing up, no matter how old we get. Sometimes it's not your teachers, society, mentors, authorities, or 'stuff' that have the capacity to make you feel different, or like you are learning something new.

The meme of 'self knowledge' has been viral through the centuries, probably for a good reason. I struggle with it myself, obviously, always seeking the correct explanation, never certain whether I've found it, whether others have found it too.

I like to pretend my brain is a machine designed to process information and it auto-optimizes the way it stores that information. This may not help, but maybe what you have to do is feel like you have to fight your mind to gain control over it, and once you have it, you might be able to destroy the auto-pattern construction mechanic, or at least make yourself more skeptical of it, in that it doesn't see the pattern meaning directly, but sees how it is constructed through a process you designed a long time ago.
It means that there's nothing in the API that tells you whether the function might spawn a goroutine. It has to document it.

I don't remember the precise details anymore, but my recollection is I was spawning a child process and passing Writers to use for stdout and stderr (looking at os.exec, I don't immediately see anything that matches my recollection, so I'm wondering if maybe I was using a different package). I expected that it would internally do something like select over stdout and stderr in one goroutine, therefore making it safe for me to pass the same buffer object for both (because I wanted to combine writes). But instead it was spawning 2 goroutines, not 1. And there was no evidence in the API that what I was doing was wrong, the only way to know was for the data race detector to flag it.
Kinematic for Mac has a sweet interface but, as far as my testing has been able to discern, it only works with the six recommended images.

All of the WordPress images available via Kitematic's search failed to work, which is a pity because it would have been the most immediately useful application for the greatest number of users. I don't know of many people actually using the much-hyped Ghost blogging platform.
> No, because none of them contain the static analysis and developer tools one comes to expect from a competent IDE.

It happens a lot for various reasons. Admissions people aren't that good at their jobs, good ol' boy networks, outright cheating on standardized tests (this is a huge problem in Asia), and more than a few "dumb smart kids". Overall, good B schools (well beyond the "top 5", which I'm pretty sure consists of at least 10 schools) are full of pretty sharp folks. Some even brilliant. But quite a few dullards as well make it through the process.
I found their functional programming series to be a good way to get acquainted with Haskell -- problems start with basic operations, move on to recursion, lists, other data structures, and so on. As early as the recursion section we see some neat challenges: for example, write a program that prints an ASCII art version of the Serpinski triangle to a given depth.
