Could it be that at time to socialize with other you are very focused on many interesting things and hardly other people follows you? (or even if they follow the topic, that means for them a very small part of their life?).

Do not worry much, focus on people from your interest, and remember that socialize is also waste your time unworried and speak about general things without take things actually serious.

From my personal experience I can tell you that being to much focused in very concrete topics is sometimes not the best way to find people to spend the time with. And it is nothing wrong; you just may need some common areas to share with others, where you can be just a bit unworried and comfortable (more to enjoy a while with good companions than develop an activity by itself).

Yep.

Free time might be required, and there's danger in groupthink absolutely, but you can just ignore the noise of the group, rather than avoid the group. Be with the crowd sometime but not all the time. As there's also things to be learned from other people too. And it's great being able to be your own person and ignore that crowd.

Given, I greatly prefer Van Gogh to Picasso and Matisse, it's probably just as likely his mental state were an influence of his art, not the whole loneliness thing. Drawing the conclusion the other way seems dangerous, to encourage isolation. However it's good to say it's not ok, or not one's fault.

It's hard especially due to 'fake socialization' like Facetube and such, smartphones, and people's busy isolated schedules involving central air conditioning to expand a circle of people you know. It seems dangerous to say to be creative you must be lonely, it's very wrong. Yet it's also wrong to say it's wrong to be lonely, because of factors that make it a really hard thing.

I think we need to suggest to other people that aren't so isolated to reach out and be friendly to more people. In the south (of the US) it used to be increasingly common for people to say hi to people they met out walking, and increasingly as people move in from other places, it's rare when someone says hi back. Then people go back into their houses and you don't see them again.

The problems that cause society to be isolating are somewhat improveable, but it requires awareness of it. I think it's possible Van Gogh didn't really want to be isolated, but that was his way of justifying it and being ok with it, and that his feelings of isolation were rooted in deeper problems.

We'll never know. But if you are feeling isolated or whatever, don't feel you have to be that way. It's not your fault though something you have to fight for (because everybody is caught up in doing whatever they are doing), it's everybody else's fault to a degree, and you can be creative either way.
I agree that women can be gifted programmers; it's generally accepted that the first programmer was a woman, Ada Lovelace. But this article has all sorts of attention-grabbing, unrelated links (for example, the link on "open source" that proclaims Heartblead was the end for open source) in it that I had an incredibly hard time staying on the topic of reading the article.

However, I did find the link to what I assume is her website, helloruby.com. It's very nice and I admire what she's doing.

Now where's the article for why men are gifted coders? Or is it just because we're monsters?
Agreed, social work is just another kind of welfare, that just tries to give people dignity.

The relevant quote is from Philosopher of Mind John Searle (of "Chinese Room" argument fame):

_Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. (‘What else could it be?’) I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer._ (John Searle, Minds, Brains and Science, 44)

"However, the reality that I've experienced is that the developers most willing to guess about how code works, copy and paste googled code, and push others to feed them answers instead of doing research on their own are considered to be the top developers because they 'get things done"

There are some Nobel prize math winners who can't do simple arithmetic. Why would they? They have access to computers and calculators. Do you honestly need to know how quick sort works? Do you honestly need to know how to do a binary search?

More than likely, the answer is no, the runtime you're working in has those operations implemented, and they're more robust than anything you can do. You need to know WHEN to use them, but outside of college, knowing the specifics is pointless, except for coding interviews.

You have bigger problems to solve.

The sleeve is to get access to the other terminal, the booster circuit needs to see both terminals to work.
So you could build dedicated infrastructure that within 25 years might meaningfully move people and/or goods between two points at 500 mph to 800 mph via a single tube. Or you can move to complete self driving cars and trucks that without the risk of human error could travel on the existing infrastructure (in many case 2 - 5 lanes wide) at 200 - 300 mph within the same timeframe or shorter.

I think self driving electric vehicles on the nation's roadways make the hyperloop at best something like Amtrak today in the US. Valuable and profitable only a few short routes/use cases.

EDIT: I do think we'll solve for 200 - 300 mph in 20 - 25 years. But insert 150 - 200 mph. The main premise is we're not going to build multi billion new infrastructure when a "good enough" solution is organically evolving. Same reason why we don't have high speed trains in the US.

Thanks for the interest you've shown for this project.

About the yet-single push : the project was not initially meant to be OpenSourced. Next commits will be more frequent, with more details.

About your concerns regarding trust: that's one of the strongest motivation for developing and OpenSourcing this project.
Pre-built binaries can be tested against your own build. A lot of work was done to make the build a really straightforward process. Most of the complexity
of building and linking third-party libraries (e.g OpenSSL or Boost) is contained (local to the project) and automated.

By the way, SSF-Cmake scripts are really useful, and could be used by anyone, in any project.

More details : http://securesocketfunneling.github.io/ssf/#how-to-build-lin...

The cryptographic part is entirely based on OpenSSL (latest version), and depends on sources only.
SSF only supports latest TLS-1.2 and default cipher suite is DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (RSA based authentication, perfect forward secrecy enabled, AES 256 based symmetric cipher in Galois Counter Mode). The RSA key sizes depends on you.

More details : http://securesocketfunneling.github.io/ssf/#security-feature...

Not being famous does not necessarily means being suspicious.
We are open to any suggestion regarding the project, build-system or trust issues.
if you are going to try and separate them out into services later, you need to have the code as compartmentalized as possible.

Otherwise when you eventually split them out, you will end up being in a situation where each service needs copies of all the files it required before.

This then is a situation where you will have to extract into a library, and make general enough to be used and versioned that way.
You don't really have to 'worry' about those things, you just follow best practices and - for the most part - they get dealt with automatically. Following the standards always gets you additional benefits that the "javascript required" crowd always gloss over. As a trivial example (there are many more), using a non-existent fragment identifier as a link target and capturing the click event doesn't just break when javascript is unavailable, it also breaks opening that link in a new tab.

> When an error in one of the articles was pointed out by Vesselin Dimitrov and Akshay Venkatesh in October 2012, Mochizuki posted a comment on his website acknowledging the mistake, stating that it would not affect the result, and promising a corrected version in the near future.[15] He revised all of his papers on "inter-universal Teichmüller theory", the latest of which is dated November 2014.[11] Mochizuki has refused all requests for media interviews, but released progress reports in December 2013[16] and December 2014.[17] According to Mochizuki, verification of the core proof is "for all practical purposes, complete." However, he also stated that an official declaration shouldn't happen until some time later in the 2010s, due to the importance of the results and new techniques. In addition, he predicts that there are no proofs of the abc conjecture that use significantly different techniques than those used in his papers.[17] There was a workshop on IUT at Kyoto University in March 2015 and another one will be held at Clay Mathematics Institute in December 2015.[18]

I feel like articles like these are not helping the problem they attempt to solve but rather reinforcing it. An article named "what makes people gifted programmers" and then a profile of this talented person who just happens to be a women would do far more good for enforcing the idea that anyone can be a programmer if they develop the right skillset.

Rather than frame the subject as someone beating the statistics, fighting the institution, frame as someone who is just a straight up talented person whose skills speak for themselves.

Let the reader infer that this talented developer is female, as if it was a totally normal, acceptable thing, which it should be.

All this article does say is "LOOK EVERYONE THIS IS A WOMEN THAT HAPPENS TO CODE", as if the only thing that makes a female programmer valuable is their gender.
Suppose they are using the money for real estate? The $70 million substitutes for mortgages and construction loans and the real estate acts as an asset securing the transaction via a liquidation preference. In other words, the downside would basically be the risks associated with writing a series of mortgages on the new locations. The potential upside would be equity that turns into an IPO or a big acquisition in lieu of ordinary interest spread out over 30 years.

The key to understanding the valuations used for Venture Capital investment is that the risks are offset by liquidation preferences. A $10 million investment for 10% equity with a 1x preference in a company with $18 million in assets is not as risky as the headline grabbing $100 million valuation might make us believe.

Ask HN: What stack technologies to use to build analytics platform?
I need to build an in-house analytics dashboard for our advertisers (think similar to how Reddit or Facebook have their own self-serve ad platform, minus the self serving of ads, but with the stats-tracking portion).

I can't used an API 3rd party service based solution (like Keen.io), because it would be far to expensive at this volume.

The things I need to track and show are quite basic: pageviews, referral breakdown, device breakdown. It needs to be charted on a line chart so I can show the increase or decreases in various traffic sources over time (for example it might show direct, mobile apps, social, etc along with the number of views at each time interval).

I've been really considering how to build this. Our main app is in Rails (not going to use that other than the interface). Most of our low level stuff is written in Go.

At a very basic and noob level.... should I be storing logs rather than MySQL rows? I've been trying to read up on analytics development and a lot of people use log parsing. If I opt to use MySQL is that a poor choice? Data points will be several hundred million per month.

I suppose the only good thing is is that the dashboard is fairly simple. Showing views over time, broken out by source is really the main thing. It isn't like I want to show something like Google Analytics where you can break it out 40 different ways.

I'd love any frameworks, insight, tips, schema suggestions, tech suggestions... really anything, to help me on this task. Thanks!

In 1984, women earned 37% of the CS bachelor degrees and were 38% of the CS workforce. How does the "sexyness" theory explain this?

I agree with you that home computers where the turning point, but it has nothing to do with being "sexy", but with the gender roles prejudices in families, which heavily biased who got computers for birthday and Christmas, while before it was purely an academic activity, therefore more accessible to women (by that time).

Well, if you die of something else, these terms are not used. Or maybe I didn't see, but you don't say 'after fighting alzheimers' 'after fighting ALS' etc, they just say; he/she died of X. That feels more fair than taking some kind of process into account whereby one gets the feeling that if you had battled harder you would've come out on top. For many cancers this is simply not the case yet; I was 'lucky', he was not, but that's all it is. It has not much to do with fighting IMHO.

Yep, the reason we do not have more nuclear is because environmentalists (perhaps the 100% kind?) have vehemently opposed it.

As far as the story about solar and wind being ready? This is a very easy thing to test: if it's ready, it's ready. You'll be selling them like hotcakes. If it's not ready, it's not -- folks can certainly continue investing, and I wish them the best of luck. But let's go do something right now that we know that works. We could have started with a lot of this next generation nuclear technology a decade or more ago -- and had the support of a big chunk of the people and the commercial energy sector. How far along would we have been now?

We have consistently been more enamored with keeping the troops riled up and having a good political fight than we have with accepting already existing solutions to the problem which aren't as contentious.

I wish solar the best. Wind also. But if we do not understand how we got here, we have little hope of making good strategic decisions and sticking with them.

do social workers actually get paid pretty well on that side of the pond?

The childhood incident is mentioned as being in the 60s, so he'd have graduated in the 70s. At that time, it would have been solid middle class work, and as a graduate he might have gone in a few pay grades up from the bottom. Almost certainly more than the miners.

The strength of miner solidarity would be shown in the strikes of the 70s and 80s. The final strike went on for a whole year and included battles with the police. That was essentially the last stand of the old UK labour movement; since then it has become increasingly difficult to have a legal strike and union recruitment has collapsed.
The description of Rust in this blog post is not accurate in my opinion.

1. Compile times aren't great right now, but 20s for 2400loc is a real anomaly, and improving compile time is a focus of the team now that the language is stable. This is the only specific painpoint the blog post mentions with Rust, and its just a single anecdote.

2. The idea that Rust is a premature optimization is a weird meme. Faster, safer, more expressive. Rust is at least 2/3 for pretty much every 'mainstream' language. I would rather write Rust than any other language I know, and I would be more productive in it.

3. Rust is not a Flub language struggling to overcome a niche - not yet. Rust is a language that became stable 3 weeks ago and time has not yet told whether it will be 'mainstream' or not.

Rust has a memory model that includes some degree of manual management, like C (instead of malloc/free and pointer arithmetic, you have ownership and references). This makes it a poor first language, like C. But no one says C is a language for the 'elite' because you have to think about the memory model.
