I agree and it scares the crap out of me to think about what might happen in the coming years.

Mostly I'm trying to think of the best course of action for me as an individual. Not doing anything seems like the worst option. But when it comes to doing something, should I:

1. actively fight right-wing sentiment, with probably little effect (mostly preaching to the choir, as most of my friends are highly-educated left-wing liberals).
2. volunteer in a refugee camp, which while personally more satisfying, might waste more 'valuable' things I could do.
3. become politically active in some way, but this would require a significant up-front effort in trying to untangle the situation.
4. try to find longer-term sustainable solutions for refugees who are likely to be here for a long time no matter what happens, faced with few good options (they can't work, can't study, and are often isolated).
5. something else?

I'm currently a bit paralyzed by the possible options, yet for various reasons feel a strong desire to contribute to the problem, perceived or otherwise, of the influx refugees. I'd greatly appreciate some concrete suggestions.

The "C managed memory" problem is definitely ugly. Some libraries and APIs allow you to protect yourself from this by giving you the option to supply the memory yourself, instead.

If your library can be used completely with you managing the memory, you can use Go's allocator. E.g. libopus:

size := C.opus_encoder_get_size(C.int(channels))
mem := make([]byte, size)
p := (*C.OpusEncoder)(unsafe.Pointer(&enc.mem[0]))

This way, all memory is on the Go heap.

Not every C library will support this, but those who do make CGo a lot more bearable.
What made you switch? I mean, if you are already familiar with Emacs, I don't see any reason to switch. CIDER and clj-refactor offer a lot more functionality, and the debugger is fantastic.
By definition you can't really know. But the reported number of uses are huge, 1 million/year some years ago, based on a survey taken by a gun grabbing outfit that didn't count multiple times per year for respondants. 2.5 million/year nowadays is the best effort estimate.

Counterwise, just like in self-defense, guns are used in crimes a whole lot of times without them being fired, or hitting someone if fired, or killing if so.

And that's not even counting things like the burglar who carries one just in case, but never sees another human during the crime, although I suppose an estimate of that could be made. Which in principle is just like my carrying concealed almost every time I walk outside my home, just in case, although my odds are much lower.

I haven't written a lot of Rust, but what manual memory management are you referring to? As far as I can tell, the whole point of the language is that you don't have to worry about that if you listen to the compiler.
First of all, perceived lack of compassion and actual lack of compassion are two different things. Especially over the internet.

Secondly, judging comments solely by perceived compassion is obviously going to bias the decisions. Things like reason and scale easily get forgotten if compassion is the only criteria.

Thirdly blaming people for not feeling the politically correct emotions is some hardcore thought police shit.

Fourthly compassion is naturally biased towards obviously pathetic people who are physically close. Somebody coming from Uganda might consider Calais a complete non-problem. Someone living in Scotland might find local stray cats more compelling target for charity than any person anywhere.

And there are significant populations who could contribute to the discussion, but are unable to either feel compassion or express it. (For example high functioning autists.)

I really don't mind someone being compassionate while dealing with systemic human problems. But if it's somekind of requirement, it seems like really bad starting point.

Corporate suggestion boxes meet the digital age
For the retirement fund only the first 74,400€ (west) or 64,800€ (east) of your income is used (2016 numbers, different rules if you work in mining). For anything over you don't pay into the retirement fund.

There are some self-employed that need to pay into the retirement fund, including teachers (which is applied broadly, e.g. training supervisors and moderators), journalists, and artists.

Also don't forget about the unemployment fund into which employees must pay.

Heavily depends on your health and age. Additionally family members are insured for free in public but not private insurance which might tip the scale. Also important to note is that it's close to impossible for most to switch back to public insurance once they decided to go private (e.g. if the premiums rise in the future).

> You are implying that somehow Islam is responsible for "the invention of the scientific method and Arab numerals." I don't think that's the case at all...

This much I agree with (though there may be a role of Islamic society in the development or spread of some key ideas, and Islam may contribute to that, calling Islam responsible for either the scientific method or the use of Arabic numerals is going farther than is supported.)

However, I must take issue with this as support of it:

> there is nothing in the holy books of any of the major religions that could really be called the scientific method or Arab numerals.

While some major religions (especially, the Abrahamic ones) may give particularly important roles to "holy books", none of them have a content limited to their respective holy books, even if some (or some branches within some) purport that the entire content of the religion is derived from or capable of being understood by understanding the appropriate holy book. (Particularly, many of the groups for whom such a belief is part of the content of the religion have a holy book which does not contain that claim about itself, making such a belief about the role of the holy book itself a part of the content of the religion that is not contained within the holy book.)

As such, the fact that something is not explicit in a religions holy book is not a basis for dismissing the responsibility or influence of the religion in that thing.
> What problem was this trying to solve?

The usability on the old site was too high, developers loved it but management were confused by the directness and lack of bullshit.

So they redesigned it for sales, and away from their core demographic.

PS - Google should really penalise sites that operate intros.
Just a small remark. You might want to note in your readme why you'd want to use a fault-injection library. I wasn't familiar with the concept, and had to google why you'd want to do that (for testing unexpected errors and the application's handling of those errors).
Very much what I was thinking. To add, the integration of mobile (itemized?) receipts is nice, but not nice enough for me to have to install and maintain an app on my device just for one store; an app that will undoubtedly hound me through push notifications about sales and other garbage.
What are they responsible to DO?
It probably is impossible because it's usually possible to encode mathematics into anything. Gödel's big result was essentially encoding proof theory into arithmetic, thus proving that any system powerful enough to contain arithmetic contained undecidable statements. Likewise this result - AIUI they've found a way to encode the same mathematics into the arrangement of atoms in a material.
This already exists in R&D "stores" for certain large grocers within the US. It's definitely on their list of new features. But you wouldn't even have to scan, you'd just walk through a scanner with your goods.

One of the most stereotypical cases of bullying is to be openly mocked and made fun of in front of your peers for a perceived difference. There's no violence involved in that.

Have a look at what constitutes bullying [0]

Violence is but a subset of it.

Unless we were to water down the definition of violence to include any manner of ridicule. At which, you're diluting the definition of violence under the guise of staying steadfast on the definition of bullying necessarily including violence.

Ideally, everything would be public. Not only does it make the design much simpler, but it also happens to fit my total transparency ideal (I'm not a big fan of privacy).

I have not given any thought about the co-existence of public and private graph segments.
I'd attribute it to IMO bad devops habits encouraged by Docker. It's too easy in Docker to depend on someone's unofficial image ("FROM rustxyz" vs. "FROM debian + download deps + install rust"). Having official images would at least reduce the number of people building their infrastructure on unverified/unofficial images.
Well, for being someone from Go community and commenting in a Rust thread, your feeling that I misinterpreted the statement is legit.

Whenever have you seen me threaten violence for mere words?

Certain actions, and only actions, "the following circumstances" as you put it, will result in me and mine hunting you and yours, retail and wholesale.

I don't see any chilling effect, except on, you know, those who are actually contemplating inflicting violent actions on me and mine, actions they've been/are being told very clearly, and hardly just by me, that will spark a 2nd American Civil War. In that, I'm comfortable that I'm speaking for enough of gun owning America, the putative "Three Percent".

Who here is so out of touch with reality that they don't think inflicting violence doesn't axiomatically come with a potential for violence in return?
Latencies of 100 ms may be common because TVs don't have strict latency requirements.

16x16 is a very small window, I have no idea what they're using for TVs, but 128 isn't uncommon in post production ANN upscaling. Also consider the fact that ANNs have not received anywhere close to the level of attention in optimization that compilers have, so there is also a lot of potential slack to be taken up if real time processing demands it.

Again, I would just say, read _Albion's Seed_ -- with a close eye on its sources, of course.

I certainly do condemn pacifism, because it doesn't work; but at the same time, I'm pretty thoroughly impressed with most of the Quakers' accomplishments, and I certainly accept the importance of using minimal force and humane policies.

I should also add that I was too hard on the Scotch-Irish in my previous post. _Albion's Seed_ discusses the conditions that shaped them: for 500 years, from the foundation of Scotland to Prince Charlie's rising, every king of England except three invaded Scotland, was invaded by the Scots, or both; and in every one of these invasions, the Scotch-Irish bore the brunt of it.

CD vs Vinyl is not a fidelity issue but actually a compression that is a part of analog which is what people call "warm" sounding.

No, you don't need it for deployment at all - a very common and sane deployment strategy is to have one developer / staging environment that does composer install/updating, and then the result of that build is rsync'd (or it could be FTP'd over in a shared hosting environment) to the production host(s).

After Emacs/Cider/whatever crashed/locked up on me for the 20th time I finally gave up and moved to Cursive over a year ago. I've never looked back, it's fast, does what I need it to, and I still discover features all the time (like the clojure.test integration!). It's also a fantastic way to get new programmers into Clojure. No need to download lein, or dozens of packages or learn a text based editor. Just install InteliJ and install a single plugin.

Great work.
My point was that if Google decided to change it's business model, and charged something like a $1 for a monthly subscription to using it's search services, it would be more than safe.

I don't think the fact that wikipedia produces it's own content is relevant, and whether it lacks curation being relevant either. Regardless of those two facts, it is immensely useful. The majority of articles, especially on highly technical/useful topics (like farming techniques) are mostly accurate.

Just because some may not be in a position to buy/afford something doesn't mean that everyone should endure inefficiency. Also, depending on the price, the truly important information would still be worth it. I don't think what's going to keep the less fortunate from using web services is a reasonably priced web service.

Currently, you can get a VPS for roughly $10/month, and a domain name for something like $70 (a .com usually costs this much I think). If you had monthly subscribers who were asked to pay $1 a month, the amount of subscribers to keep you in business (nevermind that today's tech can easily scale up to thousands of users on one box), is not high at all.

Sounds like it doesn't it? Could we build a big sheet of this material that encoded e.g. a search for a counterexample to the Riemann Hypothesis, and then just measure whether it had a gap or not? I can't believe that it would be that simple, but I can't immediately see anything wrong with that logic.

"What if you need to query based on the site_data?"

"What about updating the data? You need to get the object and then you need to parse it, change it and send it back marshalled to TEXT that MySQL can understand."

I implemented something similar, with db columns extracted from the json data to be used in querying.
I have a "schema_version" column and property in the API, and a migration class which checks the versions of the stored objects, and if the current schema version is greater then runs the needed migrations (a "migration" in this case is extracting some new columns from the data).

Having a schema version probably handles your other case also.

Yes, running the migration can of course take some time depending on your data, but if you update one row at a time then you don't even have to have service interruptions (the old schema version rows just don't eg. get found in queries using the new fields until updated).
When I tried it, I could make Django CMS run, because it needed a long list of requirements, with their own requirements, and I couldn't get a set of packages that worked together.

> I hypothesize that morality was initially invented to subdue the masses into servitude [...]

I would suggest that nothing was invented, it just happened. It's something between a necessity for and a side effect of the evolution of social structures in a species. In order to reap the benefits of social cooperation in a species, evolution has to find a solution to the free rider problem as cooperation isn't stable otherwise, and morality is that solution, which also can be found in species other than humans.

It's not a terrible write-up but I think it may be a little delusional both ways. I'm not totally convinced that they type of app they built could not find a decent audience. The app "makes sense".

And "Don't bother creating a mobile app" is terrible advice. But if you are going to create a mobile app, you have to really try an understand if it makes sense, how people are going to find it, if it's compelling enough, if it takes advantage of "mobile-ness". Etc.

if you want an awful toxic place, go to any other forum on the Internet with as many readers. There you can find knee-jerk, shallow, abusive arguments from people who, actually, don't even mean it and often have nothing to say. The reason you enjoy HN is because it has rules against this kind of discourse.

jsprogrammer's reply to you is a great example: it is a very civil comment that follows the discourse here, i.e. is written in the exact opposite way from what it argues for. It would not be improved if intsead it read, in full, "only third-rate management cocksuckers need to obfuscate everything in warm fuzzies."
According to him, he had deep grievances with his battalion leadership, and decided to leave his combat outpost, run 20 miles back to FOB Sharana, thereby creating a Dust 1 (missing servicemember in theater), get everyone's attention that way

And that, of course, was very dangerous to his comrades[1] and irresponsible, and doesn't seem to have achieved his objective, since he was captured by the Taliban along the way. It's probably quite difficult being a commander in a combat zone with special snowflake soldiers like this in the unit.
