The company meals are productivity enhancing:

- employees stay on site and so they take shorter lunch breaks

- they are likely to eat with other employees and talk shop

- it does help recruit and keep good employees. If the firm you are thinking of moving to doesn't provide lunch, that's one more friction point: new commute, possibly new schedule, now you have to figure out what you will do for lunch after you have grown accustomed to such an easy solution.

Note how that last point seems to resonate closely with the author's point since his Ithaca is apparently about leaving your job and starting a startup... or something? It's not clear what his Ithaca is.

His skipping lunch is an exercise in asceticism that I think he is hoping will serve some higher purpose later. But at the end of the day I think he's just not satisfied where he is and would rather work somewhere else. Other than "moving to San Francisco" he doesn't mention any job changes. So I think that's his problem. And if you're not happy somewhere, free lunch is not going to stop you from leaving.

Same here. I don't get it: if Netflix UI causes me to go through all the episodes of a show faster, that's one less show available for me to watch on Netflix, making the service less valuable.

Separation of duties regulation. Nothing wrong with it. The idea is to have a wall so that you can't have one person able to write and push code to production.

Now if you mean "run code" at all that's another story.

The funny thing is, I have a pretty interesting day job. I think I have too high expectations to be able to also have, for instance, a side job. And friends. And a healthy marriage. Gotta prioritize, I think.

Yes it's absolutely possible. At age 2 my son gets one nap and goes to bed at 7pm (after dark). Use the circadian rhythm to your advantage.

Yes, I know how blessed I am to have what I have. Thank you for the reminder.

You are right, of course. My work is already quite rewarding so I do need to work on tempering my expectations.

Thank you. I will try to enjoy these moments as a parent more.

Because this comment hurts a little, I believe there is wisdom in it. Thank you.

Totally no regrets. And I don't blame anyone for anything. In fact I love my life with the kids and wouldn't trade it for anything. It just feels so surreal sometimes.

Hey guys. Anyone else have the experience of having kids, getting a burst of energy, but of course all that energy goes directly back into the kids and house, and you have absolutely no life for 3-5 years or more? Because my kids are 2 and 4 and so far it's been 4 years of no life, no freelance clients, almost no learning/hobbies, just 35-40 hours a week of working as much as I can at the office and then everything is about the kids. Until everyone goes to bed, then maybe I can think about something interesting to work on for a couple hours before sleeping well less than 7 hours of healthy sleep. Or do you even give that up, and as soon as the kids are in bed it's time for the bedtime routine for yourself?

Just looking for some dads who can relate and maybe give some wisdom on the subject of having young kids and losing your ability to work on something interesting--which to be fair I never did before having kids because I was unmotivated, having not had that burst of energy yet...

So this is sort of like a barebones mongo db? Looks very cool.

Thank you. So it was just a coincidence that this person logged into his server at the same time as the domain was taken down? It was simply a suspicious looking domain name?

I still don't get it, what exactly was flagged that caused the domain to get noticed by... Who exactly? Did it have anything to do with the owner logging into his server? What is the sequence of events in bullet point format? I know the author tried to be clear but I'm confused as to what actually happened.

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

How is donating money to a campaign that passed with 7 million votes a "terrible thing to do"? Are we not allowed to have an opinion that is different from the intelligentsia?

This sort of thing does color my perception of Brave in the other direction. The fact that Eich refused to "confess and recant" in the face of internet lynch mobs and getting fired as CEO of Mozilla makes him rather brave in my estimation.

Really responsive, smooth interface. Great work.

Maybe hosts should think about such risks before they get into hosting.

It should be noted that the author of the article did not mention "Fake News" or trolls, and at least half of his point w/r/t privacy was how to prevent and deal with data breaches.

I was rather relieved to read through this article and not hear anything about the 2016 election.

FWIW I would never write an email like that to you. I would begin by thanking you for the work, then asking my question, then probably closing the email because I have successfully rubber-ducked my question, then days later rewriting the draft again with a better question, and finally ending the email with "If you ever get a chance, I'd appreciate you pointing me in the right direction" or somesuch.

Update the title, this is more than just a release; the new messaging is worth reading about.

Thanks for the clarification. The article also mentions that the same pilot who sent some of the text messages voucher for the safety of the plane to FAA regulators. It looks like whatever concerns he had, he chalked up to issues in the simulator itself.

Taskwarrior?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to perform this attack you need to be connected to the router's LAN in order to access the admin page, right? So you would need to gain access to the WiFi or attach a computer to the router via Ethernet. This cannot be exploited over the internet, unless perhaps the user enables the admin page via WAN.

I would disagree and say that it's usually the individual dissenter who makes the biggest difference, and the ones who waited for the critical mass waited forever.

I believe it's called pyinstaller

Wow so let me see if I get what you're saying: The ends justify the means. Want to make an omelette, gotta break a few eggs. And by the way, the real civil rights issue we should be focusing on is global warming?

I think what he was asking was, could there be some way of packaging a .exe with a full python environment and all dependencies built in (and so zero install basically)?

Edit: after reading the docs for pyinstaller, it seems that this is exactly what it does. vxNsr was either confused about what gooey does, or, like me, got confused by the name "pyinstaller" and assumed it was a tool to help you install a python environment on Windows.

That's interesting, I always thought there was at least a database layer running separately.

This is a great thing that the hacker noticed. It sounds like we really need more OpenID style auth and a lot more limited-lease access to personal data, and more tools to store our own data.

Can you link me to a page describing this new functionality in action?
