I remember fixing a vim plugin that did one system call per character to be received because the IPC returned some number of xml objects, not even wrapped in a top level one, so the plugin didn't want to block by reading past the last > until it processed everything before it.

I fixed that to use non-blocking pipes and it was much better.

> It's very hard to maintain compatibility for different versions of mobile operating systems.

Except it's not. It requires thought, but the reality is, they aren't trying to maintain compatibility, they are merely saying "Nope, you have to have the latest and greatest or it won't work" regardless of whether it would work or not.

If anything, this demonstrates that Uber itself is not concerned with quality. Considering my experiences with Uber in the past, this is not surprising.
Once he's in he'll be able to bring his wife and family cheaply by air.

EU regulations state that any airline that takes on a passenger that will be denied entry, seeking to enter the country illegally, or is likely to violate the conditions of his visa will be liable to cover the costs of deportation so airlines filter out any potential cases.

So they often send out young males to through the smuggling routes since they are more likely to prevail, that said even if the man isn't married they often sell themselves for marriage once they settle within the EU and then bring their new family.

In many cases this can run well pass a spouse and include additional family members especially when they can be put as dependents like parents and grandparents.

Because of this some countries like Denmark now published new regulations that delay the family reunion the new regulations in Denmark state that family reunions will only be possible after a year has past from the point in which the person has received their ILR and has been officially settled which in it self can take anywhere between 6 months to a few years.

This is one of the main reasons why the current refugee numbers mean absolutely squat with the majority of current refugee and migrants being predominantly male in their mid 20's to early 30's the final immigration numbers for settled refugees will inflated through family reunions once they've been settled.

This article is plain nonsense amd I'm surprised it was published in Techcrunch.

Hey guess what? Silicon Valley is a product of massive amounts of government funding too.

DARPA's budget is about $3B this year alone. You can thank Uncle Sam for autonomous vehicles, Siri and the Internet, to pick just three.

So if investing taxes in people isn't "free market capitalism" then neither is the tech industry.

I often wonder why CouchDB didn't take off more. It wasn't a panacea but it was clever enough and you could use it in mobile apps. Perhaps the decision of the "host" company to merge with another company and head in the direction of CouchBase made people wary. Or there's some technical reason I'm not aware of. The latter seems more likely.

"If it is, then you must understand that the credit for that on-paper increase in value is to be completely given to the local government"

No. The value assessments are made by potential customers and suppliers in the area. Sure governmental actions have been one part of the causal chain, but only one of many. The fact that the building stands ready, not decrepit enough to bring down the general attractiveness of the area, is partial credit to the landlord and her choice of tenant.

"because of its zoning laws which have resulted in a dramatic undersupply of housing in the area."

Might the rent-control laws have had something to do with it too? (After all, zoning laws aren't easily effectively changed on an area that's already filled in.)
It seems as if a number of the pieces I read about this tablet were by reviewers who just don't really think that much about price points. There was a lot of "Meh, it's cheap but the specs are those of a three year old tablet."

Guess what, three year old tablet specs may not make for a aspirational purchase but but they do make for a perfectly usable mini-tablet. I'd been wanting a smaller tablet to use when traveling and this was just the ticket. I couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars for a second smaller iPad but $50? Sure. That I can watch Amazon Prime videos offline makes it even better.

Right so we should maximise the efficiency of welfare programs and ensure that they are fair (in some way). If it is true that cash is better than vouchers in terms of efficiency then we should give cash.
I don't think anyone grows stuff out of economics if you live in a city the cost of the soil, pots, seeds, and plant food alone make it highly uneconomical.

There's just something satisfying about being able to grow something even if it's unsustainable, I grow tomatoes and I probably buy more 50 times more tomatoes per month (usually buy a small box of vine/cherry tomatoes for nibbling every 1-2 days so that's about 8-10 pounds a week).

It's a hobby not homesteading, it's just a small ritual of having to move your plants to the window each morning from the more warmer spot they've spent the night in spraying some water on them while drinking your coffee and put some fresh herbs and spring onions on your omelette for breakfast.

It's not economical it's just relaxing and enjoyable.

HN is more liberal and progressive in the true meaning of the word rather than the SJW interpretation of it these days.

While plenty of people still use the downvote button as a censorship tool (and in HN it's actual censorship due to 10 votes kill) many have stopped and you see much more non-politically correct arguments being accepted and debated on HN these days.

Downvoting is also an often herd like mentality once you go grey you are most likely to be vote killed or close to it within minutes. But on the other hand there are much more -1 <-> +1 fights these days, pretty much the only thing that will get you vote killed these days is talking about "privacy" related things and even that is more open to a debate than it was even 6 months ago.
Good points.

$3 Billion / year of taxpayer funds invested in the tech industry. Plus, lots of other government agencies and procurement involved in nurturing tech.

I mean literally Siri was invented by DARPA.[1] And you can thank it for your next autonomous car.[2] Also a thing called the Internet.

So tell us again how investing in people is a corrupting influence but investing in tech companies is critical early-stage support?

> Sure, if you're an incompetent teacher. But then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be teaching at all.

But the teacher that does this will have students with higher scores, so by all metrics they are not the incompetent ones.

Like in software engineering, metrics lose meaning once they are used to justify rewards and punishments.
Really? "It's very hard"? That's the explanation for such poor software engineering practices? I guess their engineers are only paid to solve easy problems.

What is this hypothetical 12-year-old going to do for the next six years until they are old enough to get the kind of minimum-wage job that accepts people without a diploma? Child-labor laws are still a thing...

We're running into the other problem with public schooling: it's not so much about education as warehousing children while their parents work during the day, until like a tree, they grow the requisite number of rings that magically grants them status as an (more-or-less - see alcohol, car rentals, etc.) independent being. You can see this with the expansion of organized after-school sports and activities - school usually runs from 7:30-8:00AM to 2:30-3:00PM, except parents are still working until 5:00PM, so you've either got to trust your kids to get off the school bus and not burn the house down in two hours, send them to grandma, pay for ruinously expensive child-care, or hope little Johnny or Sally is into soccer/football/baseball/band/art, etc.

On the first point, I would argue that understanding how money works is a pretty fundamental mathematical competency - percentages like that come up all the time with sales taxes, meal taxes, etc, and they are usually not built into the prices on the sticker/menu.
Applicative didn't exist in 1998, so 1998 code won't have any Applicative code that conflicts with the new language spec.
Hmm, very interesting, someone should summarize this, put things into context. Would be a great book.
A bit tangential, but I'd also argue that the military as recourse is, itself, an unfair burden on poor people.

Rich kids don't feel compelled to enlist just to make financial ends meet. Even I (single parent household, parent was a teacher), when faced with an inability to find a job when out of high school, had the grades and support to 'fall back' onto college instead. I wasn't forced to risk my life just to stay solvent.

More on point, though, I think a lot of people with this view conflate the particular implementation of welfare (itself a cause of compromise between right and left wing), with the nature of welfare itself. That is, because there is such a wide gap between "welfare, not working", and "fully self supported" that unless you can land in a job that pays well it doesn't make sense from a total utility perspective for many to find a low wage job and work that in lieu of (or alongside partial) welfare, we dismiss the idea of welfare completely. Or by example, the person on disability who is unable to work full time, but who, if they try to work above X amount of hours, ends up -losing- money, due to loss of disability benefits, as well as (obviously) losing on free time, and so ends up not working as much as they could. Due to cases like that, many people end up blaming welfare itself, rather than a flawed implementation of it.

Per another commenter, I too think a UBI would address this (as well as the basic issue that with more automation we have less need of people working, and I'd prefer someone trying to figure out what useful work they could do that would result in them getting paid for the real utility they provide, rather than just taking an unnecessary job just to make ends meet. Wage slavery in jobs that could be automated is an even more flawed form of welfare than government handouts).

Here in Ontario, Canada, whenever the teacher go on strike everyone else gets up in arms, the reality is that the teachers are one of the few areas of employment that still have good wages and benefits. Instead of saying we need to bring everyone down to the lowest level we should be asking for everyone to be pulled up to the level of teachers.

Note: Unlike other places, teaching is a great job in Ontario.

At the end of the day it boils down to that fact that the poor as a class, are easily abused and manipulated -- by governments, private entities, even the poor themselves.

One of the most perverted ways they are abused is they are convinced to vote against their own interests. For example thinking back at Obama's healthcare reform and the fate of the single payer option vis-a-vis the "get your socialist government outta my Medicare" crowd. Even further up the line, gutting education also pretty much ensures a future crowd of uneducated easily manipulated crowds for the next generation to abuse and take advantage of. So the system is already set to self-perpetuate.

As a side note, speaking of manipulating, a good example is always Bush Jr. using evangelicals in his campaigns in early 2000s.

It's because the extra slowness is supposed to be buying us software thats safer and easier to write. The argument has never been about how fast can we be, it's about being fast enough where the cost of talent completely annihilates the cost of compute.

Other than planes (where I 1. spend way too much time and 2. find tablets are way more usable than laptops), I go back and forth on how much I use a tablet around the house. Ultimately, you do generally have to be fine with a tablet being enough better at media consumption than a computer that it's worth having an additional device that can't do everything the computer can do. I did buy a Chromebook earlier in the year to leave out on my dining room table and I have found myself using it for things that I was tending to use my iPad for.

High levels of funding != quality education. Washington DC schools recently celebrated a rise in graduation rate, to 64%. [1]

My brother went to public high school in Washington DC graduating in 2008. His school had tracking, meaning you could only take classes available in your "track". A student was in either all honors/advanced classes or in all regular classes but could not take a mix of both.

The regular track was exclusively black, while the honors track was for white and/or rich students, regardless of actual academic performance!

Unless a non-white student is both high achieving and has parents who are able to navigate the bureaucratic nightmare that is the DC public schools (it was a mess even for upper-middle class white students like my brother) they don't really have an opportunity for anything other than a poor education.
