Germany Has almost all the policies that Sanders advocates for.

And of course the Tax bill will be higher, he openly states that he wants to increase the tax for the high income earners.

Its ok to disagree with sanders, but please don't say he proclaims policies without details.

He always outlines the way he wants to achieve the goals he is talking about.

Its candidates like Hillary that just fluff talk all the time without any solutions.

And to the lurkers he, keep in mind HN is a "libertarian" place so you will find many here disagree with Bernie because they don't really understand the macroeconomics impacts that social policies have.

Haskell was created to be beautiful. Clojure was created to be practical, with plenty of ugly pragmatism thrown in. If there's an argument over beauty, it should be Haskell vs Lisp (vs Prolog, vs Forth, and probably vs assembly).
That's because it isn't.

Amazon Underground – Amazon's Android App Store
I think the problem a lot of people would have is that introducing hardware, which costs millions to design and bring to market, when it's possible to write code that isn't prone to overflow....just doesn't seem like a good idea.

When I was in school, my professor for CPU Architecture had a good saying: "If you're going down to NAND gates to debug your software you're doing something wrong".

I think another issue is that arrays, trees, and other structures are a complete abstraction. The CPU doesn't need to know a thing about them for them to work, because all it actually sees is addresses and instructions (I get that I'm grossly oversimplifying things), and so introducing that type of "check" at the hardware level is pushing the abstraction down, and I don't think that's a good idea either.

But I do think that's one of the great reasons for using a higher level language, where there are array bounds checks, etc.

To me, C/C++ is like "pretty" assemby language (Now with new features like Undefined Behavior!!!), and I like that about it. But I'm not sure how other people feel.

Anyways, that's just my take on it, take it with a grain of salt.
Weiting from Codementor here - excited to be launching Live Classes today!

Unlike existing MOOCs where students learn via pre-recorded videos, Codementor Live Classes enable students to learn how to code with a live instructor in a small group setting.

We're expanding our product line beyond more than just 1:1 mentoring. Students can now learn new technologies from a live code mentor at a much more affordable price range.

Happy to answer any questions that you may have!

Are you saying that the consumers are irrelevant to the funds that VCs are willing to dump on Uber?
Honestly that sounds more like spin than anything. They are working on self driving cars which is going to be a much more profitable business than privatizes public transit.

I believe this is probably more likely to be an attempt to change public perception.
Original title is ‘The Way GCHQ Obliterated The Guardian’s Laptops May Have Revealed More Than It Intended’ but that’s longer than 80 characters. The HN title fits with the text at least.
"I love how cleanly it integrates with ES6 and its component style architecture that the future of the web lies upon. That said, I rarely choose it for projects."

I can't find one reason why ES6 and component-like architecture wouldn't be chosen "often" for projects? React is the first javascript (frontend) framework I use that allows to easily break down architecture and keep a complex (or simple) application clean and well structured. It feels like writing server-side code.

"For static sites, Jade is a fantastic templating engine."
Cool. But why compare how to use a javascript, dynamic framework for static sites? That's just a bad argument.

"For data-bound REST apps, I choose Angular. "
Good for you but... why Angular over React? Those are 2 frameworks that are supposed to do the same thing (build dynamic front end applications) with 2 different sets of mind.
But... I build REST apps with React. I even build Forms with React. And they are not even dynamic. What's wrong with it? It makes my code, form validation, form submit way cleaner, easier and reusable!
What should I do instead? Use vanilla js? jQuery? Why? Because it's enough? It's enough, but trust me, I've recently (no later than last week!) refactored some of our forms with React, and it-is-so-much better.

I totally agree with the author's point of "do not use X for the hype and everything, but use X for the good reasons" but the argument given is plain bad and examples are wrong.
And vice-versa.
Sexism and Bad Customer communication rolled into one email
I used to commute from Wilmington to Philadelphia on SEPTA. It's fucking insane. The infrastructure is actually pretty nice. Good new trains, express tracks, etc. But they don't even have ticket vending machines like Amtrak/Metro North/etc. You have to wait in line for a human cashier.
For me the main problem with infrastructure heavy mass transit, which the author seems to prefer, is that the horizons are in multiple decades. I've forever been frustrated by mass transit going not where they are needed.

In addition, in the SF south bay, mass transit infrastructure suffers from a chicken and egg problem. Density isn't high enough to support transit, so it would be unwise to waste tax revenue in elephants, but without the build-up, the environ for mass transit isn't stoked.

Personally, I don't care who comes up with a financially viable solution, public or private. Having seen what public delivers, I'm optimistic private can compete and deliver something meaningful in under three decades of studies, agreements, bonds issuing, lawsuits, etc. Overseas, private mass transit delivers at least on par with public mass transit. Moreover, the NYC subway system was borne from originally private systems.

I guess autonomous vehicles like uber's are likely to win out over the ideas by united technologies' "people movers". Still unsurprising that in the end the ideas to get to efficient mass transit tend to merge.
> You're not wrong, and we should also consider that the attacker stopped and didn't go on a rampage at which point the 2nd amendment really becomes useful.

This is just asinine. The idea that everyone carrying an assault rifile would stop this kind of thing is one of the most ridiculous tropes the far right has to offer. It assumes rationality on the part of the initial shooter, who is very often NOT rational. Its also very much a blame-the-victim response.

>In 2000, both Gore and Bush were always the frontrunners, and then they both won the primaries in landslides. I believe they both won every state, except Bush lost New Hampshire to McCain.

I think the question is: does the ability of pundits to predict elections correlate or anticorrelate with voter participation rates?

Or in simpler terms: do pundits predict well when primaries are democratic and reflect the will of the people, or when they're isolated, low-information games that mostly reflect punditry itself?

No need to apologise :)

The pipelines are distinct, but the set of ops that any particular pipeline supports is arbitrary (as in picked by the HW guys who have to fit the FUs in) and the belt is shared. The belt is where the two sides join.

We tend to get good entropy putting the flow on one side and exec on the other, and that's nice for humans to model too, but there is no technical requirement.

The thing about the Mill is its easily customisable. If you have some new FU (lets say you want a particular op that assists in say encrpytion) you can choose where you put it, and how many pipelines you put it in etc.

I'm in the midst of being onboarded at a very large healthcare organization. In addition to the complex SOA infrastructure, we deal with a multitude of databases, accessible through many different methods, from a number of vendors. There's a ton to take in—not to mention the business complexity inherent to the organization as a whole.

Heddleston's point about having less-senior people do the mentoring is especially apt. While I've received support from everyone in the team, the most helpful person has actually been an intern with only a few years of programming experience under his belt. While I have over a decade more general programming experience than he has, he knows a lot more about the specific domain, and has been an excellent teacher. I feel that this arrangement has been beneficial for both of us—as I've gained domain knowledge, he's gained confidence and depth in his own knowledge.

I think that a big part of this is not setting expectations too high—no matter how senior the new employee is. While I have a fair amount of experience, the expectation in my new position—both from me and from the team—is that it will take me a while to get up to speed,(especially given the complexity inherent to the role), even though I'm not coming in as a junior dev. Therefore, I don't feel the need to pretend that I'm an expert in something that I'm not, and there's no ego hit when I'm being mentored by someone who is technically my junior.

In my city, it seems like most everyone is looking for senior devs—to the point that they leave positions unfilled for months rather than hiring someone they don't consider senior enough. This is madness, and damaging to the industry as a whole. We need to focus more on efficiently developing talent, and Heddleston seems to have some great ideas for doing so.

Hopefully for you, you are only dealing with VAT registered corporates, so you are on the easy side. Now imagine the nightmare if you are for example selling e-books or saas or traditional software to VAT / non VAT registered corporates and individuals wolrdwide. It's not so easy anymore.

The European model is somewhat different than the American one even at public universities. It would require some compromise even from the left. I'm not sure exactly but I think there are more Lecturers and fewer Profs in Europe, for instance. In Denmark, the avg Prof only makes $70,000. Adjuncts make around $50,000. I imagine professors (actual tenured Professors) are paid much better in the US.

> It is not the one-size-fits-all solution you are using it as. If your site has a dynamic form, you don’t need a freaking virtual DOM.

The main benefit of virtual DOM afaict is that it makes rendering on the server trivial without needing to jump through all the hoops that, e.g. Angular has to. Contrary to the post, this makes it ideal for such sites.

> Another fatal flaw was that Germany's retail market is already saturated with discounters such as Aldi and Lidl, meaning that any new arrival inevitably finds itself in the midst of a cutthroat price war.

Walmart's model is to do high volume at low margins with a highly optimized supply chain. But that is already exactly the model of Lidl and Aldi, and there's not a lot of room to beat them at that game.
I like your point on public/private risk/reward, but you're too quick to say that wealthy people switching from public transit to private rides doesn't hurt poor people: the public transit systems will suffer from reduced frequency of routes and diminished funding, and the community will suffer from a wider class divide.

I think Peñalosa did a good job advocating in favor of public transit for all in his talk in which he said "An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport" (https://www.ted.com/talks/enrique_penalosa_why_buses_represe...)

Right, this is actually the part that confused me. I didn't realize that the editor was not previously available for Linux.
I want to agree with you but unfortunately the system you're proposing isn't really feasible.

The poor actually are hurt by not having access to Uber as it becomes more and more popular and ubiquitous. We all are in fact. It's a stratification of society; there's one transportation scheme for the rich, Uber, and one transportation scheme for the poor, government-funded mass transit. And mass transit is barely funded in the United States as is. Once the rich have alternatives how long do you think it will take for people to whine "why should I pay taxes for a service I don't use? I can afford Uber I shouldn't have to pay for busses for poor people". Three months? Six? Maybe a year? If people use Muni every day they're willing to support it. If not, well... Then the wealthy with all of the political clout will push to defund our 'inefficient' public transit and it will become unusable.

I think that it would be really nice to let private industry test things like this, but their tests are completely worthless from the perspective of providing actual mass transportation. They will find ways to take wealthy affluent people from places where wealthy affluent people live to places where wealthy affluent people work. The government isn't allowed to cater only to the rich in the pursuit of profits so unfortunately the results of the experiment will always say: hello government, if you stop taking care of those pesky poor and disabled and old citizens, you could have a very efficient system and reap great profits. Too bad you aren't legally allowed to throw people under the bus.

Secretive fusion company claims reactor breakthrough
> One of the more subtle underlying issues with the rise of Uber is the company’s slow siphoning of the political will to fix existing—or build new—public transit infrastructure in major cities.

I don't think this is really true, at least in the short run. Uber fills the gaps which previously prevented me from completely getting rid of my car. Now that I'm completely car free, I rely on public transportation for trips that are well supported by our infrastructure and use Uber for trips that aren't, so I care a lot about our public transportation infrastructure, and usually support improvements, unless they are very poorly budgeted or misguided.
Hooray for Linux!

But there's something that has been bothering me for a while about games for Linux compiled with the Unity SDK.

Does anybody know what kind of dependencies a game written with the Unity SDK has? I'm pretty clueless about that stuff but I'd still like to know what it would take to get a game running on a minimal Linux install (like a naked Arch or Gentoo). Ubuntu obviously comes well equipped for the task but I don't really care about that.

So where do the graphics come from? Does it need some special libraries apart from OpenGL? Where do fonts come from? How does it interface with hardware, i.e. does it need X, or does it come with its own drivers for keyboard, mouse, gamepad?

I fear that it is necessary to install half of Ubuntu to get the games running but - as I said - I don't really know anything about that.
