Having actually worked a union job once, I'll say this:

Unions suck. Bezos should fire them all and hire people that want to work harder to make more money. And try to replace each whiner with a robot.
Oops, poor english I have, I didnt stop to think if I+D was the same in english :p
The original Spanish expression is "Hoy por ti, mañana por mi", and I find the Golden Rule to be the closest direct application of the concept in a single expression. Interestingly, the three suggested translations of the expression I found were: "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", "What goes around, comes around", and "Tit for tat" (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/idioms_maxims_s...). However, none of those seem to accurately convey the sentiment/ideal expressed in the original phrase.

You don't mention darcs. I've found darcs is extremely simple to use. Simple but remarkably powerful (in a different way than git, which I also love).

Yep, except the "scratch" one has a slightly negative connotation of doing something just because the other one will do something in return. The Spanish phrase is a bit more positive.
But then again, by reading a book (and products/libraries often came with them, no waiting required), you might learn about the whole thing, instead of begging and praying that someone at stackoverflow ran into the same undocumented quasi-feature and hobbled together a jerry-rigged fix.

Compared to CGIs/PHP? Yeah, sure, finally it almost behaves like a normal GUI library. And the way things going, we're probably going to get our Taligent/MFC library soon...

I know, the OP (and Louis CK before him) were mostly arguing against the Nirvana fallacy, where people complain about the status quo as opposed to some mythical idea of perfection. Problem is, I don't see the whole browser stack as superior to previous art (i.e. definitely not mythical). Things like NeWs or Smalltalk.

BBC Good Food is actually a commercial company rather than being publicly funded. It comes from the commercial arm of the BBC (BBC Worldwide).

BBC Food was the publicly funded website, but I think that was shut down a few years ago.
Aren’t most android phones still able to share files via Bluetooth? I thought that was the whole shtick of android back when people actually compared the two platforms.
The shows in question generally a) hire specific writers for this, and b) don't really give that much care to this. Even Trek, which had a manual that detailed the fictional systems in depth (The TNG Technical Manual was a writer's guide written by the artistic directors), let it slide for the point of the plot.

And ultimately, these snippets are just filler that add background to the world in question. To people who aren't you, or me, they do not matter all that much.
For the price of an ami you can get a lot of used car. Why is that relevant? Because small electric cars suck. They really do. Driving them isn’t pleasant, charging them mostly impossible and they are about as ugly as you can imagine. Not really something I’d spend 4 months of my income on when it is basically just a replacement for a scooter. Which can be had for 50€ and some dedication.
Yes, I would very much recommend this. And when I wanted a little more interactivity, I had a great time using https://unpoly.com/ for a simple CRUD-type app like you’re describing.

I would very much recommend taking a serious look and trying Unpoly or similar before getting sucked in to a SPA

You'd be surprised how one's self can change under unsafe circumstances, despite all the "critical analysis" he had done...
If you watch the the ruBSD 2013 interview video with Theo de Raadt[1] at the 6:36, he states that they should take a shot at dealing with modern x86 VMs. That gives me quite a bit of hope along with the work on vmware related drivers in each release.

I would guess one reason it wasn't done in other languages was because people simply didn't have a good cross-architecture JIT compilation resource, and didn't want to write it themselves. LLVM makes this _really_ easy. I realize that Zig is transitioning to an LLVM-optional model now. But, for instance, I've been working on an s-expr language with f-expr application, and this combined with LLVM c bindings allows you to generate arbitrary compile time or runtime code. The JIT portion for compile time code was a single function call in LLVM! I started this a while before Zig came out, but alas I haven't devoted enough time to it over the years...
Leave the HN page open when you read the article then when you close the article you'll be at the HN page and you can click discuss to read the comments. Or middle click the article and the discuss link.

I use a bookmarklet in Chrome called snaplinks to open all highlighted links in separate tabs. Firefox has a script to do it with right-click directly.
The right way to approach this is to clarify the requirements. "Should I consider unicode?" will get you points with the interviewer, and will allow you to quickly clarify the scope of the question.
I've read this a few times and am trying to parse exactly what you mean.

The million dollar offers tend to go to people who keep their head down and quietly work hard, possibly doing less-than-glamorous work (As opposed to the big-shot high flying 'executive' who get their photo in the company newsletter)?

That seems counter-intuitive to me - but - maybe it's because the "company newsletter types" are already getting the recognition and compensation they deserve? Or at the very least get the opportunity to discuss those factors more often?
The only point I really care to make with my list is that Android's app offerings do not lack superb content, no matter how much other catalogs may have. Does Android appear to suffer in comparison to iTunes? Maybe, but that doesn't stop me in any meaningful fashion from finding apps I love on my Droid.
Thank you for the informative post.

By letter of the law, CALEA does not require key escrow. Do you believe that in practice along with extralegal pressure in the manner described above, that CALEA and associated laws amount to near ubiquitous key escrow?
This indeed is commendable. There are more possibilities than what he has touched so far.

He could add automatically reloading live code, and link the testing suite... You see a bug, correct it, and the test suite runs continuously at the spots where the code is compilable, giving feedback per code fragment.
No, and this is why I always scratch my head when people mention how many hours they 'worked' a day building their startup.

People always mention things like "I was working 15 hours a day", and here I am thinking - you were counting?"
You can, but knowing a certain property on the web component is an integer isn't easy with static analysis alone. Somehow you need some more rigid way to declare types to guarantee all generated components can be strongly typed.

Oh, so any income reported won't be in your name? Clever, although you would also need bank accounts in others' name.

Basically you'd need to use their whole identity, then withdraw the cash, possibly with fake IDs. Which is what they're doing, I guess.
> Psychopathy is a condition characterized by the absence of empathy and the blunting of other affective states. Callousness, detachment, and a lack of empathy...

That doesn't seem like a personal attack so much as pointing out that this belief lacks empathy and is callous, which I tend to agree with. The standard argument, which I'm sure you're aware of, is that some controls and regulations on the ownership of firearms is a net good for society by reducing accidental deaths, suicides, and murders.

Guns aren't responsible for any of those things, people are. But guns dramatically change the scale at which they happen. Ignoring that because of a belief in absolute freedom from regulation for machines designed to kill is callous and un-empathic. Or, to use a synonym, psychopathic.

Yeah that was a bit too succint. I meant:

Some of what you are saying I agree with and believe is true. Other parts of what you are saying are, I believe, overly reductive and not accurate. I think your post articulates some important points and also overlooks some. But they're also kinda mixed together and there's a lot there, so, tbh, I can't take the time to fully parse out your comment and respond with the kind of clarity one ideally would wish to in an intellectual discussion, the kind you know that would stand up to analysis and reasoned argument. So, do I agree with you? Ehh, yes and no?

Just kind of imagine me saying it with a Larry David voice, if you've ever watched the show 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' (speaking of American cultural imperialism/colonization lol).
> I think it's because for beginners it's hard to see why it would be useful (or not just turn into infinite regression).

And that, in turn, I think is because most beginners are first introduced to mutation and statements and all kinds of “do” stuff instead of trivial algebra with trivial types.

If the core primitives at the start are:

1. Computation producing output

2. Computation of input producing output

3. Wrapping #2 in a function

I could see introducing recursion in an easily understandable way on day one.

Hi, I did not intend to be disrespectful, sorry if you read my message like this.

I mainly intended to underline the fact that we (doctors) were promised a revolution in healthcare (AKA : to disappear) and we ended with diagnostic scores.

However, I gladly admit that I exaggerated and that AI technologies can be helpful in some cases, of course.

They all pay to "share" data through data brokers in order to get more info about you. It's the same thing.
Time to start deploying big batteries across the grid at substations. A shipping container here and there would work wonders.
> CO2 in the atmosphere is getting very low (~0.2%).

We are currently at about 400 ppm (parts-per-million), which would be 0.04%. http://co2now.org/

About 20 000 years ago, the lowest was maybe ca. 200 ppm.
A small note, if you don't want to actually use Rails, you can use any Rack-based Ruby web framework (aka all of them). You may want to also look at http://sinatrarb.com, which is much simpler than Rails.

That said, Rails is really good! Especially Rails 3.

I don't see a problem with it. I say put it out there and see if it's of interest to the HN clan. By inhibiting yourself, you're only depriving yourself of an audience who might be genuinely interested.
This is a great idea. Have you considered blooking it? I mean publishing interviews as you do them one at a time on a blog and putting them together in book form in the end. I really think writing and publishing books in the traditional way is completely out of sync with how people read now. I say this having just finished writing a book in the old way.
It's funny to post that next to a junkchat thread started by one of the most famous redditors.
> These are insane fees ripe for disruption.

To think that coinbase started with a no-fee model:

Coinbase will make money more like an exchange down the road, 0.5% to convert money into our out of bitcoin, but once you have your money in bitcoin there are no transaction fees (it mentions this on the homepage, but admittedly it's still a bit confusing)...

It would be much easier to just say "no fees" - this is simple and shows a clear benefit of using bitcoin. If you have to explain to people that "sometimes there are fees, but they are a lot lower, etc" it loses some of it's punch. Right now we can do zero fees and transactions still get confirmed. In the future we may be able to do it by eating the cost and have this be a cost of doing business, but that is a decision for later."

>Software is economically worthless without making it artificially scarce.

If that were the case no software would be written except by hobbyists as a kind of joke. Software provides value other than being scarce and it's really the maintenance of the software that people are wanting (those paying attention at least) not the software itself.
It absolutely can, because all exchange users put their money in a big pot (the exchange's "cold wallet" and "hot wallet") rather than having individual wallets - this allows for instant trading. Exchange accounts aren't quite like banks but they are like brokerage accounts.

Numerous exchanges have blown up when the wallet got stolen from underneath them - but in the gap between the theft and the discovery, the users thought they had bitcoin when in fact they had a bitcoin balance.
While I don't deny and made sure to include the 'unless it gets delayed' part, they are much further along now.

The majority of ETH 2 is live and more and more ETH is locked to it (~12% right now) so the current 2022 estimate is a bit more realistic than past ones (though, of course it can keep being delayed).
I look forward to a helpful reply to a question. Instead of snark.

How? I don't want to shave my head every weekend. I shave every 1 month or so. Towards the end i have the classic bald man look. How is that 'denying my balding' ? bald look doesnt bother me. So why the perception that i have some physiological issues re my balding if i don't shave on a regular basis.

> Politicians aren't known for being tech savvy, but they aren't known for being stupid either.

I've observed politicians get away with certain behaviors, to a point. For example, Eliot Spitzer, or Bill Clinton. Once they become a target, their trespasses aren't necessarily forgiven.

Wait, how does this work? The electricity I use in the office comes from the same place as the electricity I use at home. I'm probably using a little less, as I have a smaller monitor at home.

I assume that means it's either too small of a sample size or it doesn't make enough of an affect?
To quote Warren Buffet, you can't have a baby in a month by getting nine women pregnant. This will take time, no matter how much money you throw at it.
It is not a motto, it is an anti-pattern.

When you are still prototyping and have not found product-market fit, it might work. (And that quote comes from the early days of Facebook, when it was still morphing into its final form.)

Once you have established yourself as a viable product, found your fit, and have paying customers, "break things" becomes a path to poor service.
Yes, statutory damages of $150,000 for each work infringed. The fact that it was commercial infringement would be aggravating and more supportive of the full penalties if litigated.

But lawyers often repeat the phrase "you can't squeeze blood from a turnip." It's unlikely that whoever infringed the copyright would be able to afford a judgement like this, and so suing them would be pointless. DMCA would be an easier way for the actual copyright holders to take this down without bankrupting themselves on fruitless litigation.

A note to the OP: copyright infringement is not "stealing" because infringement does not deprive someone else of the use of the work. You wouldn't download a car.

Do you have links? I have literally spent hours there and couldn't find any flat keycap except for older Kailh mount. There is nothing to match Kailh v2 / Cherry MX mount.

It's time we did more research on the economic effects of the ways children are raised...

For example, what impact does boarding school have on both the children and the families they come from? (boarding school allows both parents to work all week, allows children more time to socialize with their peers, allows parents to own smaller houses, etc.)

What impact do after school clubs have (so parents can both have a full time job). How about residential summer camps?

How about the impact of larger remote schools? In a school of 100 children, the range of activities that can be offered is limited. Yet if there were 100,000 children, then children could specialize on really rare topics, and still have enough people interested to fill a class.

It just seems there are so many potential ways to make family life & schooling work better for everyone, but without data it's a matter of every parent stumbling in the dark, because for most people child-raising isn't something they have done hundreds of times before.
Obviously abstinence works. Did you look at the map in the article? Europe and the US/Canada/Russia have way higher rates than conservative societies.

Groups tend to be pessimist to change and outside influence though so aren't inherently biased to optimism. Groups just value optimism when it is optimism towards the groups current values and goals, but it sees optimism towards stuff the group doesn't do as a negative.

For example, if you join a company and tell the manager in the first meeting "If we reorganized the working groups like this it will greatly increase productivity due to reasons, it will be great!", he wont see you as an optimist, even though you have plenty of optimism, what he wants is optimism towards his ideas and not your own optimistic ideas.
i think it's a shame how many people think coffee will make up for <7 hours of sleep on a regular basis. i wish a chart like this was more publicized.

if i get less than seven hours, it always throws the rest of my day off. on the flipside, if i ever sleep in on a weekend more than nine hours, i'll feel lethargic and tired like i'm sleep deprived.

This is an absolutely hilarious blog, and actually did laugh so hard I cried when I first read it. But...I feel like I have to be that guy. How is this Hacker News?

Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

I mean, I love this blog, and I'm quite happy that I have another entry in my Google Reader from it starred to read, but this really does not seem to go here. It has nothing to do with intellectual curiosity.
As discussed before on HN, the long 's' in literature before around 1800 shows up as 'f' in the Ngram viewer.

Note that all the terms in this example are affected by this, so the drop of terms before 1800 is due to the 'long s' effect, and the peak before 1800 is generally 'suck'.

Edit: blasphemy is still quite a peak after 1800 - that might represent something interesting.
Smalltalk tries to solve the problem of mutable state in a unique way. Where some languages say "mutable state is bad, minimize or isolate state changes," Smalltalk gives you amazing tools for monitoring the state of objects in the system. The level of control at every level of execution is unlike any other language. You can open up live inspectors on any object, edit a method in the debugger and restart the stack frame you are looking at, and persist all of it across programming sessions in the image.
I would say "most" of the time as a definite exaggeration, but I do spend close to 100% of my time between emacs / shell and a web browser.
