What's wrong with that? People in most jobs are expected to be able to do more than one thing. I much prefer to be allowed to do all that stuff rather than having to go through some bureaucratic / diplomatic process to get a widget added to my form or a field added to my table.

Admittedly it's nice to have a specialist on hand to fix things like gnarly css bugs if they arise.

I've worked in Chicago and London , in different kind of companies.
Chicago was extremely casual (sandals with white socks), ere In London we have to do smart casual every day but allowed to wear denims on friday.
I've never been to NY but i feel that could be close to what London is like?
Special Report on Climate Change
Have you looked at gocircuit.org and the accompanying language for connecting templates Escher.io? They are still not production ready, but aiming to solve your problem in a general way. The circuit simply says you should be able to write the logics that build out your software as programs against a simple live Cluster API, provided by the circuit. Escher helps mix and math such functional logics. But the bottom line is this. Every framework is a language. Adding frameworks adds complexity. This is why circuit reuses the go language for its concurrency and abstracts your cluster into a programmable dynamic data structure

> Cogent carries data between ISPs regardless of origin/destination for many of their runs -- while they are being paid by their clients for access to their network, Comcast can also push a significant amount of data destined for non Cogent customers through their lines. If you're only offering routes for your customers, you're not offering the ISP anything that you don't benefit from.

All ISP will only carry traffic that's either from their customers or to their customers.

Heztner isn't arguing that they are large enough to be worth getting a free connection but that their providers Level 3 and NTT are worth it to get a connection to Comcast's customers (not every ISP connected to Comcast) at a reasonable expense.

The issue is that Comcast / insert other residential ISPs have a monopoly on access to their own customers and the large ones can charge for that.
It will be the end of progress in civilisation I think, if we don't allow people to specialise. Although I think many people would be happy with that, or allow themselves to believe they would be.

It's also important to note where in the US you're talking about. Where I'm from, Atlanta, one of the largest business cities in the south eastern U.S., what you've said is absolutely true. If you're going to work, for the majority of jobs there you're definitely not going to wear flip-flops/t-shirts. A polo would probably be the closest acceptable article of clothing to a t-shirt for most jobs. I've had a coworker get sent home for wearing shorts on casual Friday. However, moving to the west coast, the culture is completely different. I work in the tech hub of downtown Seattle, and most people are dressed in sneakers/t-shirts/hoodies etc., with unkempt looking hair.

My fiancee, who is from the West Coast, jokes that if you're wearing a suit in the South, you probably have an important job -- if you're wearing a suit in Seattle, you probably work at the mall.

It's not tech-related, but I have achieved near-fluency in one language in less than a year (Dutch), and I'm currently learning 3-4 others. (Russian, German, French, Italian) I find it very effective and easy to fit in around everyday life.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone else seeking to learn languages.

This reflects only the peering capacity available for public peering and only what has been documented by each ISP for that network. Private peerings (that are direct connections to another network) are much much more cost-effective and easier to scale for a large ISP. In any case you can safely assume that DTAGs peering capacity by far exceeds one or the other Tbit, but it's also far from being sufficient capacity after all. They may also be the largest ISP in Germany by user count, while other metrics may vary ;).

Vodafone doesn't just offer cable service but also DSL and VDSL, and that's rock solid.

Creativity Isn't Just for Artists
Hi Stepan!
I Love your project. I appreciate:
1 your code/architecture approach (I de in Ruby)
2. MusicBot as application example as a possibly "disruptive" Telegram bot! Not the usual game-bot.

BTW, I'm an "indipendent music maker myself (http://solyaris.altervista.org) and I debate since many years about copyright/copy-left realms. I unfortunately think your good idea, could be abused easly, as someone pointed out :( I'll feedback you later in different comment about this hot specific point.

Anyway, I fully agree with you, when you say that:

>Telegram is amazing platform and I'm looking forward for their next moves.

Absolutely! I think Telegram is moving really great designing the big picture "communication" architecture including:
1- p2p chats
2- groups & supergroups
3- channels
4- bots
5- bots integration in groups and channels

In my opinion this integration of bots INSIDE groups and channels (humans), open new services scenarios, not games! Instead service apps useful for people, in business/application scenarios A real revolution: integration of robots and humans services. I'm serious about it and my twitter microblog: www.twitter.com/solyarisoftware is about that. I wote some ideas about in my draft/raough doc here: https://github.com/solyaris/BOTServer/blob/master/wiki/servi...

> I must admit, that the current generation of bots is quite dumb and we need to move towards natural languages and learning.

I fully agree!

> I also don't think that bots are viable "app platforms". Bots should either be interfaces to bigger services or stand alone smart assistants.

Yes, but: I feel nowadays visual-paradigma/web-interface based/mobile apps are in many cases poor in suppluing real services. I'm basically perplex regarding nowadays glorification of (mobile) web interface as "THE way" (to communicate/to get services/make business). I feel instead that next generation(Telegram) bots could be instead a real revolution in man-machine interfaces for services apps: the (Telegram) chat as prevalent way to communicate for users (see very young people habits...). Now as a text-based chat, in a near future, I see phone-calls + video-calls as front-end (along with text-based chats).

What I mean, and I think I agree with you, is that a possible very interesting world is build-up "intelligent chatbots" machine-learning enabled, astep forward nowadays dumb bots that responds to basic /commands or enabled by some finite state machine dialogs (my project now).

What do you think ?

I think your perception of what dressing casually is will be dramatically skewed by where you are in the US -- as will what you deem to look slovenly. I think that the two are relative -- dressing casual for your location is doing something to distinguish yourself from the lazier crowd.

I also think that using lookbook models as examples of casual dress is going to be excessive outside of fashion hubs. Their clothes are tailored well, layered appropriately with appealing, seasonally appropriate color schemes -- outside of a well curated closet, these aren't going to be looks that you'll pull out every day. And if your wardrobe is well selected, you probably are dressing a little more than casually.

Also, I would say that skinny jeans are a pretty gender agnostic article of clothing now. And again, I think location comes into play. You're going to see a disproportionate number of women wearing sundresses/skirts in the south etc. I do think that in larger cities this is much less of a thing.
Yup, the French are well dressed. In Israel wearing jeans is fancy

I find it strange that so much time is spent trying to convince people that some aspect of testing (coverage / tdd) is not a panacea and so little around improving how to test.

As a student / recent grad I remember thinking that testing was maybe some thing you maybe had to do for super hardcore projects. Now I see it as one of the first things to think about on a serious project and something that is going to take ~30 - 50% of the cost / effort.

But we're all wired to sleep at night. Once I started going to bed early, waking up early got easier first, and enjoyable later.

So no, I think I would still recommend people to try and sleep early to wake up early.

Just pick one or the other and be done with it. I'd place it at "auth".

Only files don't correspond 1-1 to the route hierarchy either. The same components can be used in 20 different routes.

Ask HN: What do you do during your commute?

I really enjoied Introduction to Operations Management (https://www.coursera.org/learn/wharton-operations) which is not about CS/IT but more about organizing process workflow (i.e. how to make shops, plants or any kind of multi-operator job more efficient).

I also liked a Coursera one titled "Data Analysis" but the url now returns a 404 (https://www.coursera.org/course/dataanalysis) and it probably morphed in something slightly different.
The Timbre – Podcast Reviews and Discussion
Slightly offtopic: if I type "123456" the UI becomes unresponsive (cannot type backspace for instance). It may be that the language Purescript is "lazy", but somehow this does not seem to work out for the user. Any comments?
As do the Norwegian one. The claim that they leave the left alone have been a empty refrain from the "libertarian" right for a generation. Their real beef that it is funded by a fee rather than "commercially", as they have a fervent belief in only paying for something they use (and clearly they don't "use" the national broadcaster).
PayM (and MobilePay I gather) is basically a table of bank account details keyed by mobile phone numbers, so you can make a standard electronic bank transfer to someone's account number and sort code, with only knowing their phone number. It's handy, but seems a bit different from crowdsourcing ATMs and Bitcoin deposits?

Why application monitoring works better without alerts
If you have in-demand skills then maybe the 'gig' economy can be a nice place to be: money and flexibility can create quite a nice lifestyle, if some comments I read on HN are to be believed.

But for those not in the top-layer its going to be "welcome to the precariat" [1]. Constant hustling, unpredictable income and housing, moving-on a lot, fewer social ties. For those at the bottom it's zero-hour contracts driving for Uber and stacking shelves at Amazon fulfilment centres.

Traditional full-time jobs provide a lot of the security necessary for long-term commitments like raising children, educating them properly (so that they in turn have sell-able skills), and engaging/participating in society. When almost everyone is chasing the next contract to pay the rent, the result can be a hollowed-out society where we all end-up poorer.

I think this is because so many websites try to shove ads and tracking crap down your throat.

It's not even particularly difficult to pull off for certain websites. For example, my blog uses React and it does server-side rendering, so it'll work without JS at all. However, if you do have JS enabled, it'll let you avoid doing full-page reloads to navigate around. I totally agree that for content-focused websites, you tend to get a better experience by limiting gratuitous JS abuse.

However, this isn't very feasible when you're building highly interactive applications. In the case of something like Facebook, they do have a version of their app that works without JS... But how many people can afford to maintain multiple versions of their applications?

I think a good compromise is achievable by well documented APIs or even better with a public GraphQL schema! If I don't use magic APIs to build our frontend app, you can build a different frontend that's tailored for your needs.

London to anywhere in Europe in <4 hours, so that's the 5-days bubble.

North America was then clearly the best connected part of the world from London, this is probably still true - today New York is 6-7 hours, San Francisco ~11. Honolulu can be done in just over 20 hours.

Central Africa is obviously immensely better connected today, due to aviation. I'm pretty sure you can get to any airport served by commercial, scheduled air traffic in Africa in <20 hours, and any airstrip in Africa in the same timeframe if you're willing to charter a plane.

India is <10 hours for Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and Kolkata is reachable in a few more hours connecting from there. All of India is extremely well connected by domestic flights, so <20 hours should hold up fine.

For South America, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires is 12 and 14 hours respectively and in Australia, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney are all reachable in <24 hours.
I'm a Unitymedia customer in Germany (200mbps down, 10mbps up for 42€/month including VoIP) and they have been pretty good in terms of speed. I haven't noticed any slowdowns.
They also make sure that you get a little extra bandwidth so even with overhead you will actually see those advertised transfer rates in the wild.

I see no mention of climate (the U.S. is mostly hotter than Europe) and shifting demographics towards the Southwest (where it's hotter).

Even in these comments, there are observations contrasting more formal NYC with more casual southern and west coast cities. Makes sense to me. Even in slightly more formal southern towns like Dallas and Atlanta, there is a lot of new growth and new transplants from the north and east.
I would support your statement as well. I know three languages: one as my native language, other as my country's only official language, and the last one (English) is my general purpose language, meaning I use at to surf web, to study books, to watch films/series, to code, etc..

Would I learn any other language if I would be born in English society and English family? Doubt it. Maybe some other mainstream language just for fun, but it wouldn't count as bilingual as I wouldn't push myself hard enough to learn it.
I would say weather, obesity and technology also play major roles, possibly more than "fashion" or maybe creating fashion.

Weather: During the 20th century Americans have increasingly moved west and south to warmer climates (go back 100 years and most Americans lived in the cooler climates in the north east). Loose khakis, t-shirt and sandals is much more comfortable in warm weather.

Obesity: Very few were obese back when suits were common. It's not comfortable anymore to tuck your shirt in the pants once the belly pushes outwards (personal experience).

Technology: Washers and dryers became common throughout the 20th century. Washing clothes used to be time consuming but the washer and dryer meant that it's now easy to wash your jeans and t-shirts. Meanwhile it's still a hassle to have your suit dry cleaned and your shirts pressed or ironed.
First and foremost, the Raspi boards are for teaching. That's the goal of the foundation. I would guess the vast majority of people who buy a raspi are dipping their toes in to the world of hardware - not building semi/permanent applications.

Yes there are absolutely better suited platforms.

Great replies! Thanks guys!
The argument against operator overloading can be reduced to "programmers can't be trusted to design their classes properly".

And Java was exactly like that in the beginning, a language designed for the average developer, giving them only the basics they could be trusted with. Interestingly, Java's been busy adding back most of the things it decided against. Wouldn't be surprised if they add operator overloading in a future version.

<< is not IMO absurd, it makes streaming much nicer. The boost serialization & operator is however the kind of overloading that gives one pause when they see it.
Unless they are a startup.
