> I started to realise that it's usually just increase the time we need to spend building applications.

This might be because I'm not building anything that's going to blow the doors off of the internet, but I've found having at least a casual familiarity with a few frameworks (Django is the first that pops into my head, though you may be talking about .JS stuff) has made prototyping, at least, far simpler. Building a basic Python CRUD app from scratch, depending on what you're trying to do, could take, I'd guess, two weeks to get something* up and running. With Django, you could absolutely have your basic front-end and admin interface done in a day.

Once you get into the tricky bits (or just bumping against the edges of the Django database abstraction layer), yeah, I can see how it's annoying -- is that more what you're talking about with the "we can not just set breakpoints in yml file" bit? That setting up models by hand is more predictable than letting the framework do it?
It can be hard when people attack your baby publicly :)

For a company of TopTal's size, I guess they could (should) give their C*Os a training on PR, or at least a damage control manual!
especially for elected official, whose opinions fluctuate as much as it does. It would be bad to have a anti-union statement pop back up when you need union support in the current election.
I read this and think to myself sarcastically "Thank God the government got involved." and then I realize there are probably a non-trivial amount of people within the US who probably think the government should re-involve themselves in this matter.

Then I wonder what type of person doesn't understand how markets work and why they think this matter is any kind of issue. I can elaborate more if needed in follow-up replies to avoid being seen as just flame bait material.

I wonder how much taller/bigger framed people are today than they were in the past.

This isn't just all people packing on more fat - better nutrition leads to increases in height and bone density.
I have a very hard time finding anything to fit me as a 5'8" slim male it's nearly impossible. I am somewhere between medium and small sometimes one or the other or in the middle.

I've had pants tailored and they were amazing it was like I was part of the human race having actual pants that fit it's amazing how much it affects your personality and how ill fitting clothes make you feel.

But shirts that's something I've never had tailored. If I could afford it I'd have all my clothes tailored to fit.
That's true, but there are hard limits to the heat conversion efficiency of an otto-cycle internal combustion engine [1].

Given two engines, both optimally designed to approach those limits, air-cooling is not as practical or as efficient as water-cooling. This means that for a given displacement, you'll hit the boundaries of air-cooling before you will water-cooling. If you want to continue to increase your power for a given displacement, you have to find a way to dissipate the wasted heat energy. That leads you to water-cooling.

It's not that water cooling is that much more efficient, but that it scales more easily. With air-cooling, you have limited space around the cylinders for cooling fins. The head is particularly problematic because of the valve gear. With water-cooling, you can increase the dimensions of the radiator in three dimensions to improve heat dissipation capabilities.

That's kind of shame-y.

The average woman of today is likely as tall or taller than the average 1960's man, so corresponding weight increases would be reasonable.
Awesome, I'm working on some ways of slicing through recipe data right now (cocktail recipes, really), and I'll consider this tree structure as I go about things.
I think this reverse Yelp you describe is coming soon, partially because I plan on helping to build it. A "trade embargo" can be an effective punishment of last resort for any sort of bad behavior, from crime to a failure to contribute to a particular public good. You could use it to take collective action where the state won't, or maybe eventually to replace the state without needing to use force.

You could store people's cryptographic identities and reputations on a global computer than anyone can access, but with rules that no one can break. That now exists, and it's called Ethereum.

An embargo is a pretty harsh punishment, though. In practice, you'd probably only use it when someone fails to provide some lesser form of restitution.

The labour theory of value is completely incorrect, and working from it in any direction will leave you nowhere to go.
From a brief perusal this looks like it could be a great resource. A suggestion for list makers: it would be awesome if there were metadata attached to these lists that would allow people to mention what aspects of the lists they found most useful, as a time-saving guide for others who follow.
Well I have no source proper since it's just an opinion I hold and not a fact. But just looking at some of the comments in thread, they essentially boil down to:

"Dur I'm so smart, Rust makes this obsolete, C++ got it 'wrong'"

Like man, do you want a gold star? WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE BORROW CHECKER. You're not informing anyone, you're just publicly masturbating on HN. 99% chance it's just some know-it-all talentless n00b who's proficient in JS and loves react.js.

"Wah!!! Move semantics make my bwain hoyt!! I got a segfault :( C++ makes me feel bad about myself. But it's okay because it's old and obsolete, Rust is better."
Anything! Contribution is just about process and coordination.

The most important factor limiting most open source project maintainers is time; anything you can do to minimize the time taken to pull your changes will greatly increase the chance of them being accepted.

Make sure you write unit tests for any changes; this is essential to verify that your changes have been tested to work and under what conditions, and helps cut down time for maintainers to review your code.

I'd suggest searching GitHub for Python projects, find one that sparks your interest, then have a look at any outstanding issues (defects or missing features) and see if there's any low-hanging fruit.
I've been working with Toptal for two years, and it's a fair marketplace. As a developer, you get a completely different service from Toptal than from other freelancing sites: as developers are vetted, so clients are selected to make sure you don't end up working on unsubstantial projects or clients that cannot pay. You don't have to pitch yourself to clients to get a job: when you have the qualifications for a gig, a dedicated recruiter will introduce you to the client, and follow through the interview process. Once you get a job, Toptal guarantees your payments against non-paying clients, on a NET20 term, and takes off of you all the hassle of the extra work you have to face as a freelancer, like contracts, NDAs, invoicing, getting paid.

There is a very well documented screening process, that requires surely a bit of your time to go through, just as any other application to any company you'd like to work with. In my career I've interviewed with several European and U.S. companies, and the more the company is cool, the more they will test you, Toptal does just the same. Three steps out of four of the process are live interviews. I took my testing in August 2013, it took less than a couple of weeks and in total I spent a couple of days' worth of my time. It's definitely been worth it.

The algorithms I got tested on were of the same difficulty of the ones detailed in many books that prepare you for coding interviews, the same ones you'd go through if you were applying for Facebook or Google or other similar companies, nothing out of the ordinary in the tech world.

You can ultimately set your rate as you like, but recruiters will give you advice so that you can be in line with the market: I have about 20 years of professional experience and I live in Italy, my rate takes both those factors in consideration, and I am more than happy about it. If you have very niche skills, and as such ask for a high rate, Toptal will allow it, but then it will be harder for you to get hired. But you're not doing the price war with unqualified developers that ask for $5/hour, that's not how it works! Simply, if you have several patents and say your rate is $100/hour, and you want to apply for a 1 week Wordpress theme gig, it will not work out, but that's just common sense.

After several months of working as a developer, I joined the recruiter team, and I can witness that Toptal developers are all qualified and smart: for as experienced as I may be, I am surely not the one with the most years. I have spoken with Toptalers that worked at Apple and then NEXT in the 80's, researchers that work at CERN, creators of famous frameworks, that's who you are competing with, especially if your rate is above the market average. It's your call in the end.

All in all the experience is very personal, very human, the projects are great and, as long as you work well, are reasonable with your rate and have skills that are in demand, you will hardly be without work.
As a 200cm/6'6" man with broad shoulders, ordering clothes is easy: just order the biggest size. It's occasionally too big, made for a truly obese man, but generally it's somewhere in the range slightly-too-{small|large}. I can't fathom how difficult it must be for ordinary-sized people in the middle of the range, trying to figure out whether this company's size S is that company's size L.

Heh, it reminds me of going through a catalogue to order some shoulderpads for gridiron - there was a set for defensive linemen that started at 5XL and went up to 12XL, the highest number of X's I've ever seen.
It's surprising how much of it relates to food delivery (the largest group, in fact).

Good thing you checked Wikipedia :) I was just about to point out that VW Beetle motors had a smallish oil cooler in (or near) the fan shroud at the front of the engine.
That recommendation from a congressmen/senator is given fairly easily--just leading a high school sports team to win your state's championship is enough. You don't have to even know them personally beforehand.

As a 6'4 dude with a 32 in waist and a 35/in inseam, I just said fuck it. Let people think what they want about my clothes. Finding pants that 'fit' is a joke. It cracks me up that women don't think men have this problem.

Ah shit, its 2015, I shouldn't say that.
Average height for women increased from slightly over 5-3 in 1960 to 5-4 in 2002.
How is it different from MiniZinc? It looks less mature to me. No online documentation even, as far as I can tell.
Americans gained about 1/2" (women) to 1 1/2" (men) in the 100 years to 2012. I don't know how much of that was gained in the first or last half of the century.

This really does feel like an advertisement. Maybe its in that grey area where the vendor really helps them a lot with the article.
If I seemed hostile, it is because I am dealing with this exact topic on almost a per contract basis, and it is becoming exhausting. However I don't recall calling anyone a dumbass.

Here are some ( sanitized ) examples from my current project that exemplify the danger of allowing this line of thinking among your contractors:

1. Completely unmanaged client dependencies on a per page basis ( negligible code, infinite heartache )

2. Template files that do not reuse code due to laziness or differences in markup style ( 20k+ extra lines of code )

3. CSS files crafted on a per page basis, again little code reuse due to developer style and competence ( 20k+ extra lines of code, huge download size, difficult cacheing requirements )

4. Confusing and undocumented deployment procedures ( I had to completely rebuild the infrastructure from the ground up )

5. Each and every page had a its own js file, with its own global exports, dependencies, and code style. Most were over 1000 lines of untested jQuery Stackoverflow answers. 65 unique pages, sharing almost no code.

6 My favorite, a grunt task that searched the code for 'some_var + other_var' and replaced it with a string literal "https://my-dynamically-generated-cdn-fingerprint.cdn.com/res...

7. Superflous build tasks and bugs due to inconsistent project structure. Some people like /dist others /builds etc.

The list goes on, I'm finding more stuff every day.

This is a well funded project, 1 year into development.

Just implementing react, gulp, and sass allowed me to remove 60k lines of code over 2 months. The app still works in a request / response method, haven't gotten to that yet. The backend is still a tangle of coffeescript.

This is the risk you run by not imposing structure on your developers via solid frameworks and tools. If you can't pick the best tool for the job, hire someone who can. Otherwise you'll end up hiring him anyways to fix your broken 20 million dollar "unicorn".
Except this isn't 'corresponding weight increases'.

People in USA (and many other countries) are just fatter.
In that paper they added "a small set of extension"(3KB of code) to OWL[1]. Those extensions, together with a special hardware bridging mechanism enable using the actor model in an mcu context.

Why use the actor model ? because it brings, to event

[1]OWL seems pretty similar to micro python - but they started working on it before micro python was availble.
TOS are typically not contracts.
Sadly, I think the only way for most Americans to maintain a healthy lifestyle would require significant, paternalistic education and intervention. One idea others have proposed would be clearly-and-emphatically warn of future denial of certain healthcare expenses and conditions for people that fail to achieve and maintain reasonable goals to curtail high-risk lifestyle choices, i.e., smoking, poor diet. The key is conditions which arise even with good lifestyle habits should have priority over people that don't take care of themselves and expect everyone else to clean up their mess.

(I'd be first in line because I could lose 20 lbs (9 kg).)
For Americans? Not even close.
I kind of thought the generally consistent law was the way you describe it – however my not a lawyer understanding was if the contract requires X which violates the law in a very specific circumstance in a very specific way that particular clause under that particular circumstance, that particular way would be void, but the whole contract would not and would still stand - benefits and burdens combined. Including that clause, under "normal" circumstances.

Which is basically to say my understanding was that, in most countries, you can reasonably sign a legal contract and know you will never have to commit an illegal action in pursuit of it. And if your counterpart in the contract really wants you to commit an illegal action it's on them to decide whether they want to do business in a country where the action is it illegal. Not on you.

Once again, IANAL. And my understanding could be way wrong.
High-risk lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, working at computers all day, being gay, that type of thing?
I don't know about the absolute trends, but I do know that men's clothing isn't much better as far as standardized sizing. Probably the only saving grace of men's fashion is that it isn't nearly as unfashionable or important if men's clothes are poorly fitted.

If you actually care about how your clothes fit and the style, then prepare to spend hours shopping per garment, or go custom.
I cover the tradeshow space pretty regularly, so here's some additional context for those interested: It's worth noting that Smart City, the company at question here, is the largest company of its kind in the tradeshow vendor space, and represents convention centers around the country—including in Las Vegas, the largest tradeshow market due to CES a number of other big conventions.

They decided not to fight the fine: http://associationsnow.com/2015/08/fcc-fines-expo-vendor-750...

Last year, Marriott received a slightly smaller fine for the same reason, but this one is arguably a bigger deal because of the vendor's reach.

The common party line for such networking issues like this is that they're trying to prevent hacking or network manipulation issues—that was Marriott's take on it, at least—but considering the alternative costs so much, the argument seems pretty transparently flawed.
I find it interesting the number of times they attempted a new ground-breaking architecture, only to continually fall back on good ol' trusty x86.

(Also, I wonder what the morale is like within the Itanium team.)
I believe that Betterment is already past the 1B dollar valuation. Am I wrong?
Most are already working on other projects. For example, the people who are experts in the inner workings of Git and Mercurial are part of the Cloud Source Repositories project (https://cloud.google.com/tools/cloud-repositories/docs/).
Electrolysis is mostly already implemented with the XUL version of Firefox and many add-ons have been ported over to be compatible with it.

The main new change being announced recently (electrolysis and extension signing have been known about for a while now) is the deprecation of XUL in the browser in general and for add-ons in particular and the adoption of a new extension API's that are more limited in functionality (WebExtensions and whatever else they decide to do to allow more functionality than is available in Chrome). There are security implications to these changes but multi-process Firefox is not the main driver. Mozilla is giving up on XUL in favor of HTML and using this as a pretext to limit the functionality of add-ons (which many Firefox developers have wanted to do for a long time for security and stability reasons).
Tailoring shirts can be very inexpensive. Good shirts can be purchased in your choice of arm length and neck size; from there any half-decent tailor or seamstress can take in any 'billow' in the body and sleeves so it fits perfectly. (Sleeves can obviously be shortened as well, if necessary, but it often won't be.) At least here in western Canada, about $15 would be a reasonable price to have a shirt fully altered.
Working is a requirement and being gay isn't a choice. Smoking and poor diet are choices that you can resolve. Smoking in short-term can be replaced with vaping. Poor diet can be fixed by eating less.

Slack Is the Future of Team Communication but It Won't Make a Team Communicate
No it does not depend at all.

There are people in the USA who have bad outcomes, for sure. But to compare that to soviet-bloc countries is an insult to those who suffered under those totalitarian regimes.

It wasn't just the injustices, the corruption, the shortages or the inability to trust anyone - it was also the fact that there was nothing you personally could do to change or improve the situation.

Poor people in the USA still have freedom of movement, freedom of association, freedom of speech and stores stacked full of cheap food. They also have - no matter how difficult - the ability to change things and improve the lot of themsleves and their families.

Of course there are people who were disadvantaged by a change in the system. And of course that changeover was inequitable. But the improvement at scale for the people as a whole is inarguable.

It always concerns me to see attempts at historical cleansing and ignorance of the horrors of the past.
I'm definitely excited for ProseMirror. If it's as quality as CodeMirror I'll be happily integrating it into everything I build!
This might be news, but I'm pretty sure that most people, when they receive a larger than expected cash tip just lie about it and pocket the difference.

Otherwise, sorry that my immoderation has caused so much irreparable harm. Regardless, I'm not likely to change until/unless the system is changed.
This seems neat. Did it ship?

Writing config files or filling some template classes instead of actual programming is pretty much the purpose of a framework. As a senior developer it may be your responsability to filter the hype from the real stuff as you can influence which technologies should be used in your projects. Fortunately there is a parallel universe of people developing wonderful libraries that you can combine and use as you wish.
I highly recommend "The Silver Spoon", a compendium of 4000 Italian recipes and in Italy it has been popular from the 1950s. After 11 years of translating efforts, it was released in English a few years ago.

What does killing oneself with excesses and risky habits like drugs, alcohol, food, driving too fast, riding a bike/motorcycle without a helmet, etc. have to do with being gay?

PS: I have a gay roommate, so clearly I must be a Republican, believe in God, conspiracies and lynchings. Stereotyping troll fail.

It also provides a smaller frontal cross section, the flat-six engine provides a lower centre of gravity, and the packaging allows a 2+2 layout when most of the competitors (front, front-mid and mid-engined) are only 2 seaters.

The reasons for the rear engine was not primarily to increase traction - it provided simplicity, lightweight and better packaging. The simplicity and lightweight have fallen by the wayside but the packaging still remains. The 911 remains a car which is practical to use as a daily driver.
I was considering asking if anyone at Google could shed some more light on this - thanks for taking the initiative and making accounts both here and on Reddit just to reply!

You pretty much covered everything I could think of and more. :)

The only thing I thought of would be to filter all of Google Code for projects with private data, then mass-email a form letter to everyone relevant telling them their non-public data soon won't be available. I don't have anything up on Google Code so I have no idea if you're not already doing something like this.

Bananas were a common good sold in Moscow back in 80-s. Every time my grandpa was on his business trip to Moscow he brought a bunch of them. Green, but in a few days they go yellow and sweet enough to eat.

Lines formed nowadays for buying a newer version of iPhone remind me those days back in USSR. No kidding. :)
You make an excellent argument for why no one should design societies. Inadvertently, I presume.
