Overdue report on the launch story of temple.io on Product Hunt
www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/25/angela-merkel-visit-asylum-shelter-attacks

The government has announced a relaxing of the Dublin agreement, under which refugees are supposed to be sent back to the country in which they entered the EU to apply for asylum. Many war refugees, particularly from Syria, were being sent back to Italy and Greece. Germany has now said it will process the majority of such claims.

Merkel’s deputy and economics minister, Sigmar Gabriel, and the foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, both of the Social Democrats, a junior partner in Germany’s coalition government, have proposed a 10-point plan for Europe’s response to the refugee crisis. The pair called for a unified EU-wide response including fair distribution of refugees across Europe.

“As Europeans we owe it to ourselves and to the world to rise to the great challenge posed by these people looking for help,” they wrote. “We must pursue a European asylum, refugee and migration policy that is founded on the principle of solidarity and our shared values of humanity.”

"There is no tolerance for those people who question the dignity of others, no tolerance for those who are not willing to help where legal and human help is required," Merkel told reporters and local people in the town of Heidenau.

"The more people who make that clear ... the stronger we will be," she said, offering a message of support to those who have suffered abuse.

Good points.

Some quibbles:

> game units shouldn't necessarily take the shortest path to their goal

They shouldn't? This can in specific cases lead to weird looking behavior, but nobody is suggesting it is an 'abstract movement strategy' that isn't supposed to correspond to anything a person would do. The reason shortest paths are used is that they do correspond to the way people move, to a first approximation.

> simply enough for even beginners to implement

Really? Using delaunay triangulation, minimum spanning trees and relaxation? With no sample code? This isn't a beginner tutorial.

> can be used as-is in any particular genre of game.

Really? You don't think this is specifically for roguelikes/roguelites?

Nethack definitely has crimes against mimesis too, definitely. In fact it has that 'old adventure' feel. I was using it just to show that the challenge spaces aren't abstract.

Greetings from a German. While everybody discusses if Germany can afford fugitives and Hartz 4, some more realistic newspapers post that German rich have become richer and richer over the last 5 years. Until now Germany is probably one of the countries that gained the most from this century's crises. It's just that it's not shared properly between all people. Old, sick and unemployed probably have lost since 2010 because of politics not because of economic crisis.

I worked on some fairly large C# projects where the teams had zero-warning policies. It's not that difficult to achieve with a bit of discipline. Warnings in third-party dependencies only show up if you build them from source, but these days it's a lot easier to get your third-party dependencies from NuGet instead.

That being said, I don't think warnings would be a good way to go on this case, because the sheer number of warnings generated by these new rules in existing, large (and mostly bug-free) projects would make it very difficult to reestablish a zero-warnings state. Developers on the team will just get undisciplined due the the broken windows effect.
While I think these C#7 proposals are all cool features (Non-null, tuples, pattern matching), it feels almost like it's too late to make improvements of this kind to C#. We have had F# for a very long time, do we really need non-null and pattern matching and so on in C#? The features sure make sense for C#, but do they make sense now?

As more and more features come into C#, all of the BCL would have to be updated to use them if they are to deliver their full value. When generics entered in .NET 2.0, the generic and non-generic collections API were both included in the BCL, and they still are. I can't see how it would be as easy to make the BCL take full advantage of proper tuples, non-nullables etc., in a way that doesn't feel like a complete afterthought.

I'm all for adding features, and I'd be happy to get breaking changes and update thousands of lines of code to get them. But I fear that isn't going to happen, instead things will come in as optional features, the BCL won't be updated to return tuples where it should (I.e. whereever it would have if the feature had been around forever), and so on.
That's a pretty BS article written under, what appears to be, some sort of assumption of how life in Soviet Union was all driven by communist ideology.

The EU is winning this.

It shows that it goes by the humanitarian principles it claims to have.
Refugees fleeing from a humanitarian crisis are allowed to stay and to become citizens. People fleeing from a bad economic situation are not.

> But make no mistake this is a total disaster for the refugees, member state Citizens and the EU bureaucracy.

It's a disaster for the refugees. But the disaster is in Syria.

> The damage is so great that Even China and Russia have managed to claim the moral high ground and quit rightly blame the crisis on the EU itself and NATO adventurism in Syria.

You are confused. The US and Turkey are in NATO. But the EU has nearly no involvement in Syria. Besides taking on the fleeing population, that is.
I hope you get your wish.

Loved reading this, I have a very similar story. Same year, 1997, I made a Geocities site and had teacher report cards just like in this story. I put the site up on the library computers home page and then it spread around the school immediately, kids were talking about in the hallways, teachers mentioned in class that they would find who did did it.

I also critiqued the school itself, some of the hypocrisies I saw and notably since it was a Catholic school they had a school rule against pornography even when you were at home. So of course I put up a very soft core nude photo as a sort of fuck you.

However, unlike this story I actually was expelled, but it's not very difficult to get expelled from a Catholic school, it was a regular occurrence at our school. Knowing this I kept it very anonymous and didn't tell anyone.

I got an email from the school saying they would sue me for libel unless I came and turned myself in. That made me pretty nervous and pretty soon after that a student who I knew emailed me saying he loved the site and wanted to help. I then told him who I was and it turns out it was actually a teacher impersonating a student.

My brother and I were both expelled, my brother didn't do anything but contribute a few of the teacher reviews, so it sucked pretty bad for him. For me too of course but I was kicked out halfway through my senior year so I was mostly done with high school anyway. Plus I had already applied to colleges so it the expulsion didn't show up on any transcript the colleges received.

My brother wasn't so lucky since he was only a sophomore when this happened, when it came time to apply for college he got accepted to none of the colleges he applied for. He appealed hard and finally got into one.

You are lying at "Third". Angela Merkel publicly encouraged immigrants to come (and die trying) by promising that Germany will host all the people who arrive in Germany and several days later when the reported numbers of immigrants became alarming, Germany and France announced "a plan" (IMPOSSED behind scenes) to distribute the immigrants to other EU states because "solidarity and bla bla bla".

Refugees arriving in Germany have the right to demand asylum. They have that right in every EU country.

But they may be denied asylum (after some months of processing and living in a shelter) if they do not flee from a humanitarian crisis.
Has there ever been a case where a country received too many refugees and its economy deteriorated as a consequence? People provide labor which is what causes economic growth. They're the most valuable thing a country can have if it's not flooded with oil or similar natural resources. Of course there may be a lag as skills don't match demand, but that'll close up over time.
Merkel has been playing out her Imigration dramas for years now (along with the EU). I am not very compeled to to dig up storys they are numerous and well known. Perhaps one of Her most melodramatic epasodes was "Islam 'belongs to Germany'". That will perhaps be here defining Utterance for better or worse.

Ask HN: Should I intern abroad or in my country?
So I'm 22, I'm in the last year of my master's degree and I need to find a 6-month internship from March to April. We are encouraged to start seeking for offers in October or November, so it's really early.

I really wanted to intern abroad for the usual reasons (nice experience, want to travel, etc.) but I already received a really interesting internship offer in my country and it's really tempting (it's in my city, it's a big company, it's paid...).

So now I'm confused: I don't know if I should accept the offer in my country or wait a few months and start seeking abroad. The thing is if I accept now, I won't have to deal with it during the year (less stress). But if I accept, I'm afraid I won't have other occasions to work in another country later (because internships in my country generally end with a permanent contract).

Do you have related experiences (working abroad during or after scholarship, is it useful, etc.)? Advices?

I don't mind the positive messaging, and to be precise the number of refugees is still small. There are millions that have been driven out of syria in neighboring countries like jordan.

However the european media are doing a bad job at telling people the whole story in simple terms about how syria got in this mess and what are the ways to end the crisis where it began (military intervention? who knows). It shouldn't have to take horrible pictures of refugees and children for the people in europe to start talking seriously about this crisis. Focusing on who's going to take more refugees is short-sighted politicking that is benefiting only the far-right parties.

I don't understand. Which of your quotes "encouraged immigrants to come"?

"There is no tolerance for those people who question the dignity of others, no tolerance for those who are not willing to help where legal and human help is required"

And what is wrong with this last quote in particular? Does it hit too close to your home?
>> First, Germany has a problem with social support even for Germans, Hartz 4 is horribly low and injust.

>Hartz 4 (long-term unemplyment aid) is basically what the country can sustainably pay

Pretty much. The deal with Hartz 4 is that it is a basic income that applies to every adult (children get a special deal), period. Even if you're employed you can apply for it if a certain calculation of your income minus deductions doesn't make the Hartz 4 line. That is a lot of people.

Some people do have problems with it however since it's an average. As such, depending on where you are, it will be more or less affordable. In west germany it will be less affordable to love on it than in east germany. In city centers less so than on the fringes or in small communities. I have family members on Hartz 4 in the "poorest" (most economically weak, really) parts of germany and they live VERY comfortably.

Where you are determines how "just" you will feel it is.

What people generally don't see though is that Hartz 4 is a LOT more than you get in other countries. Germany for example does not have a homeless problem like some other places i see in the news sometimes. And while complaining about Hartz 4 being too low, they also simultaneously complain about taxes being too high.
Some people would probably point at the fall of the Roman Empire as the most classic example of culture conflicts leading to deterioration.

How I Write Invoices in Vim
Reading it back my comment wasn't the best explanation of the issue.

The reason is that what we're really doing here is predicting a structure (a parse tree), but we've encoded the problem as a series of local steps. Think of this like, what we want to do is navigate to a goal, and we'll do this by predicting a series of local actions.

Try stepping through the decision process.[1] This should give you a feel for the local decisions, and how they build the larger structure.

If we use an online learner, we can take advantage of an analytic method introduced in 2012 of calculating the global loss of a local action (the "dynamic oracle"), to do imitation learning.

Specifically, during training we generate examples with the parser, and label them with this "dynamic oracle". A large batch size means we're generating the examples with a model that's "out of date".

my self and 4 of my friends got banned from using the computers at our school for ~5 weeks. We were the geeks in the computer class.

Showing my age, but the class had 12 Apple IIs and a networked Corvus hard drive connecting them all for storage. The system had accounts. Each student got some space on the shared hard drive to save their work and could not access each other's storage areas. The teacher of course could access everything and used it to read students' programs for grading.

One time the teacher had logged in and then stepped away to deal with something or a student. One of my friends took that opportunity to do a binary save of a large chunk of memory on that machine, the part where OS/state extra was. Turned out if you loaded that save back into memory you'd become the teacher. He gave us all copies of the file.

We never used it for any kind of mischief but a few days later the teacher noticed one of us doing something we shouldn't have been able to do. The teacher wrote our parents letters and said we were banned from using the computers till the end of the quarter.

IIRC only one set of parents were actually upset. I think the rest were actually kind of proud. It didn't affect our grades. We also liked the teacher. I just thought it was his way of appropriately punishing us to make it clear even though you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you should.
Existential problems of GHC
Median salary is lower than average. Also 400 euro + rent was mentioned. I believe that given this almost all of "new" EU countries have median salaries below German welfare check.
It's not only the odds but the magnitude of the bet that matter. Because losing $1000 wouldn't bother you much, you're happy to do it. But scale the proposition up enough, perhaps 10^3, and you wouldn't be so relaxed about it. E.g. 1-in-a-million chance of winning $10 trillion, but it costs $1 million to play.
What I don't get is why being a war refugee entitles you to claim asylum in any country, even if you passed several peaceful countries in the process. It would make much more sense to have refugees claim asylum in neighboring countries, to maximize cultural coherence, ease a move back home once the country can rebuild, and to stop incentivizing people to risk their life going from a safe country to another safe country with more benefits.

If any war in the world will result in mass migration to just the richest countries with the most elaborate welfare states, then you'll just end up with fewer rich welfare states in the long run. Be careful what you wish for.
Yes. During the recent civil wars in Balkans, Serbia received many refugees from ex-Yugoslavian republics at war and it had huge impact on the economy as unemployment and criminal rates rose significantly. It took about 17-18 years for economy to recover to pre-war years.
