Calling people out on their bullshit isn't bullying.

When the effect is merely to pressure, and not to convince, then in that particular context, people who may have been legitimately oppressed have (temporarily) become the oppressors.

The difference between calling people out on their bullshit versus bullying is this: In "calling people out" -- people are shown their self-contradiction in such a way that they are given a chance to better live up to their moral system. It becomes bullying when people are only vilified, placed in an irredeemable category, then effectively punished in some way.

Maybe that's exactly how it will work out, but I hope not.
Ah, you meant standardization for use in TLS? I thought you were referring to the specification of the cipher. Sorry.
I would beg to differ with that opinion.

I use JotNot Pro on my iPhone to track receipts. As soon as I get a receipt - say at a restaurant - I immediately snap a photo of it. JotNot takes a black and white contrast-enhancing picture of the cropped receipt that's as good as what comes out of a scanner and adds that image to my ongoing collection of receipts for that business trip.

At the end of my trip JotNot allows me to email a PDF of the collected receipts (or upload it to my DropBox).

I never lose receipts. I never have to deal with receipts that have rapidly faded because a little restaurant grease got on them (looking at you, Jimmy Johns). I never have to worry about finding a scanner and how to place each receipt on the scanner bed.

When I show co-travelers my process, they normally immediately download JotNot or find some alternative on Android since JotNot is iPhone only afaik.

I would be really sad if I had to go back to holding on to paper receipts and scanning them in via some other method.
Why you shouldn’t bother creating a mobile app

My mother introduced me to Java when I was younger due to me making programs on my calculator to do my math homework for me. (Quadratic Formula: Input A, B, and C and outputs the answers, Infinite many solutions, or No solution). I continued to keep doing this with other mindless equations in Algebra, Geometry, Alg 2, and into Calculus.

(Also, if you are in the U.S. then as much flack as Java gets as a language, it is the language used for the College Board AP exam for Computer Science (https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-computer-scie...)
at least it's not HFR. I was never able to achieve immersion in the hobbit movies, because I felt like I was watching people on a stage.
How else would you take a physical receipt and turn it digital? Enter the info manually? I'd think that taking a picture is actually the fastest and lowest friction option.

I do it every time I deposit a physical check into my bank account with my BofA app it's pretty awesome, it even recognizes the deposit amount.
Which is credence to the fact that this isn't an argument for tool choice, but against processes that developers don't have an appetite for understanding.
Apologies - I acknowledged Apple (via Swift OSS) in my original post, will update to reflect the ones you have posted. (Actually I don't think I can as PG's algorithm seems to time lock edits - would happily add those names if I could).

Slightly misleading title, would have been more accurate to say "Majority of Americans No Longer Are Middle Class". The current breakdown is basically 49.9% Middle Class, 50.1% not. That's a long way from "most".
Congrats to the team!

I recently wrote my first Rust [1] project. Great experience, IMO. I faced a lot of interesting challenges because my use case was a little outside of typical. But I tried to minimize 'unsafe' and I was still satisfied with the results so far.

I know I've only just scratched the surface of the language and I'm looking forward to learning more.

Last plugin I tried in Sublime for Unity work decently well, but not well enough. It would show available functions but it would not show documentation in tooltips. So I ended up going back to Visual Studio. Does this show "extended" tooltip information?
People who want a gun for defense or hunting probably don't care what it looks like, whereas people who want a gun to commit crimes with want it to be as intimidating/scary as possible. So maybe a ban on scary-looking guns makes sense?
Well I strongly disagree with this. I see no reason to believe civility and meaningful communication are directly correlated. Quite the contrary. Forcing others to maintain a tone you find pleasant (poorly defined variable) strips an entire sideband from a conversation. What's up with the insistence that everyone be warm and fuzzy at all times anyway?

I, for one, would love to try and use this app daily. I currently use Microsoft Office Lens to snap all my receipts. Unfortunately, it has some very awful ways to store it which is primarily in the Photo Album... Would be lovely to have a generated excel of things.
Here's my feedback. As a part of a small startup team, I used Jira for years before Github issues and Slack were there.

The company I work at right now still uses Atlassian's trio Jira + Hipchat + Bitbucket. They are great tools with lots of features but Jira's productivity is much slower compared to Github issues and Hipchat offers a poor user experience compared to Slack.
I'm particularly interested in incremental recompilation. From what I can see it hasn't landed yet (?) - but I can't seem to find any ETA on when it will.
Browsing the names of contributors, I was surprised at the lack of gender diversity. Four or five female contributors at the very most.

Rates of female participation below 5% - wow. Why is Rust lang so anti-female?
But surely, any physical state would be available to you only as a representation, and not directly. Meaning, that in order to make it decidable, you'll probably have to look at it differently.
I wonder, too, if there's any hidden metadata embedded to rat out the leaker, should the font become publicly available by someone who has gone through the process.
Ask HN: Better than Cron?
I know that cron can go a long way for scheduling jobs to run periodically, but I am looking for an open source tool that can schedule jobs and also provide me with cpu, memory, status etc. statistics on the jobs it runs. Ideally the tools would be language agnostic and easy to monitor. Any ideas?
Because back in the days when Rust appeared it was heavily marketed as the toy for boys /s
I wouldn't call it a tipping point. If you look at the diagram hard enough you will see that for example since 2011 the lower class has shrunk and the upper class have become larger. This means that part of the middle class turned into upper class!
Are we better at tracking bee deaths though? The bee apocalypse was greatly exaggerated.
> But the zero massacres since 1996 is still significant.

There have been many massacres since 1996. One even involved guns. All that has happened with the banning of guns is that the weapon of choice for difference crimes has changed. In the case of mass killings, arson seems to have become the weapon of choice.
For production ready, out of the gate, little config, extensive ecosystem, Rust isn't quite there. It will take much more to get many of the things that other languages/frameworks/libraries already provide that are well tested and stable. But the community is progressing surprisingly fast, so I don't think it'll be long before enough of the helper libraries are well tested and stable that building a web server wouldn't be much more difficult than other options. For just a web server, depending on what you're doing, the benefits of using Rust compared to say Node or Go are still, IMO, not a big list YET. One big thing for me is the Rust types system.

I'm working on a new project now where my web server will be Node, however much of my api and micro services/jobs will be in Rust. I expect it to go well, we'll see.
Maybe I'll give the "taking photo" thing another try. I always end up finding it too fiddly and go back to sticking the receipt in my wallet but it's probably worth reconsidering.
> composer is mainly used on the development side to maintain dependencies.

Well you will also need composer for actual deployment.

> . It really shouldn't be a problem to have ssh/a working internet connection on your development box.

VS can definitely be configured to be lean. My setup is dark, almost no chrome, and is fully keyboard driven. It can take a bit of work though. VS isn't my main editor, but I enjoy it when I use it, after a few years of wrestling with settings!
I too was expecting a web app but it looks like it's just a slack bot now which is...interesting.
> When the effect is merely to pressure, and not to convince, then in that particular context, people who may have been legitimately oppressed have (temporarily) become the oppressors.

Putting pressure on someone to behave themselves isn't oppression. You can't possibly have gone through life without seeing actual oppression.

> It becomes bullying when people are only vilified, placed in an irredeemable category, then effectively punished in some way.

Nobody is irredeemable; but some people don't want redemption. When people refuse to behave themselves, they get shunned. This is a normal human defense mechanism.
Isn't google play music a streaming service though? It really doesn't seem like the place for that.
There isn't a strong ETA, no. Everything about internals is basically waiting until after the HIR/MIR work lands, as it would end up changing a lot anyway, so that's where the focus is at the moment.

That doesn't mean the _discussion_ about how it works has to stop in the meantime, though...
Looks like they replaced the app with a Slack bot. That is more interesting than the article.

There are some services which would be more convenient as a bot on a chat platform than a "portal" site or a mobile app. Some issues with service-specific site / apps:

- password that's perpetually forgotten (unless the site plays well with the password manager)

- proprietary, doesn't explicitely support integrations unless the authors implement them

- yet another set of notifications to deal with.

It isn't just lying on resumes, my Indian colleagues have horror stories of the levels of cheating they experienced doing their CS degrees at Indian universities.

Yay! I often wondered if anyone used all those janky Canonical features they keep trying to stuff into Ubuntu.

I guess it's hard to not try and become like MSFT, even if most of your customers use your product because it's NOT from MSFT...

Web design in the 2000s made a lot of sites less readable rather than more. See also http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ .

(The current trend of font size inflation is incredibly frustrating because it makes it impossible to configure a browser such that old and new sites are both readable; I have to blame it partly on designers with large screens not setting their DPI appropriately and partly on web browsers not adjusting their default stylesheets for modern screen sizes)
They might as well remove it altogether...

Btw, when it's Canonical going to announce that they will stop developing Ubuntu Phone? The writing has been in the wall for months and with Mozilla's recent announcement I believe it's just a matter of time. I think the vast majority of the mobile OS market has just moved on and is pretty ok with the two most popular OS options.

I kind of feel sorry for Ubuntu[1] and Linux[2] in general, they never had a firm foot in the desktop (market share-wise) and then this tectonic shift happens where everything goes mobile, a market where they aren't even a player, and to add insult to injury people stop caring enough about the desktop to even consider changing their OS to Linux in the first place.

1. I say this as a long time Linux user.

2. I know android is a modified version of Linux but here I use it as it has been traditionally understood in the desktop space.
Unlock Hidden Data Insights with Buzzlogix Text Analysis API
I have a backup laptop which spends almost all of its time in a closet. It's got Ubuntu 15.04 and the default stuff, dash included, because I didn't want to spend time to customize it.

I use the dash it as I use Alt-F2 on my main laptop (a gnome flashback install): I type the first characters of the program to run and that's it. I do it maybe once or twice per day, usually the few desktop applications I need are open all the time, included a fair number of terminals. It didn't seem to be particularly good at finding files but maybe it needs time to scan the disk and I gave it very little of it (time). locate seems to work better and it's more convenient as it can be grepped and parsed.

All the low pressure above a wing does is reduce a downward force it does not provide lift.

Drop a piece of paper and it drifts slowly. Drop a book and it falls fast. In your model the paper is supported by the air below and pulled up by the void behind it.

However, if you put a piece of paper behind a book it sticks to it and is not pulled up. Thus, all lift comes from the bottom. Edit: You can do the same thing with a piece of paper on top of a wing.

PS: The same is true if you pick up a piece of paper with a vacuum. Even if it seems like the suction is providing lift all the force is from outside air.

Or even, as might be the case here, "is this even a pain point that needs a product?"
If that's the case, care to name off some instances of a language becoming wildly popular for businesses and then just as quickly dying off outside of the JavaScript ecosystem in the last decade?

You seem to be missing the forest for the trees here. You said:

> I don't think a language's popularity has anything to do with it being a good, well-thought-out language.

Then used JavaScript as an example of this:

> Just look at Javascript.

I have sufficiently explained why your correlation does not equal causation, as JavaScript is the only language I'm aware of to have gone through being popular while at the same time being a poorly-built language in the past decade, and hence, being a poor analogy as an attempt to prove your point.

If you'd care to at the very least show some other examples, I'd be overjoyed to see them.

For the record, I completely agree with your point—I also don't believe popularity is directly correlated by the design of the language—but I don't have a single shred of evidence to back it up, only examples from outside of the programming ecosystem. That's why I'm inquiring.

I've observed the opposite: the women I see running are generally heel-striking shufflers. But then again, the sample is composed of Parisian women who don't exercise as regularly as they could because of urban conditions and population density (and the resulting scarcity of running estate).
I hear you (I once had someone describe a $125m "PeopleSoft" payroll system upgrade which didn't actually work - far cry from Jira) and I wasn't trying to say that their stuff is bad; I had been hoping to place some commentary around the endless moaning I hear from software developers when they're told they have to work with an Atlassian stack. I'm really just trying to work out how it can be that we have a clearly successful company and many people (in my experience) moaning. Either way appreciate your insight.
If what you say is true, why do do many EU and US tech companies go through the effort of finding, interviewing and relocating foreign workers? Just for kicks?

I think you may be reading malice or prejudice that isn't here brother (or sister):

"loved America & the U.K. when I visited them and the people were awesome.. .."

I have been an immigrant in a bunch of places. Most people are awesome, especially personally. Some people are xenophobic, especially politically. IE, when people are thinking politically and abstractly abstractly about migrants they tend more towards xenophobia. The place where you feel this most is at the immigration office where they make you feel unwanted and make sure you know you know you are owed nothing. Also when the politicians talk.

Anyway… Who says you shouldn't feel entitled to live peacefully and lawfully anywhere? These rules didn't come with the world. We made them. There have been different rules in different times and places. Should you feel entitled to leave any country you want? How about internal migration, like moving from New York to Minnesota? How about changing profession?

None of these were rights until and unless we made them rights.

Seems like a strange use of GitHub issues to me.

I guess part of my confusion is that you get a very similar preview experience directly in the repository if you add/edit a file from the GitHub.com interface. I've been using this as my "CMS" for a while and have been fairly happy with it. This works well for me as I've not had a problem sticking to the vanilla Jekyll and GitHub's supported plugin list, allowing GitHub to build my blog for me on commit and thus allowing me to commit directly from GitHub.com when I wish to. (I think that maybe some of the tools like Octopress have obfuscated the fact that vanilla Jekyll (and GitHub supported plugins) is really all you need for a decent blog platform...)

I think the only thing missing is the "drag an image into the file" feature and I personally haven't needed that, but then I don't often include images in my blog posts and when I do they are often already in a sharing service like OneDrive or Flickr.

From my brief look at that conflict, how the fight in East Pakistan was spilling over into India, millions? of refugees fleeing and that sort of thing that compelled them to act. That they could poke West Pakistan in the eye was just gravy, that this was a humanitarian action was incidental, sort of like Vietnam's intervention in Cambodia which put paid to the Khmer Rouge's extraordinary demoniacal regime. They didn't invade to do that, or have their National Guard equivalent give the PRC a drubbing, they did it to stop the Khmer Rouge from going across the (disputed) border and slaughtering their own people.
The Swiss example I gave was for staying in Switzerland. I couldn't get a decently paying job in Switzerland as a European (SEE), Swiss citizen, living in Switzerland. At that point I wasn't discussing remote jobs at all. I kid you now, at one point one of the HR people told me jokingly in an interview "I thought you people do nly do Football" WTF??

The problem is that Swiss companies certainly hire you if you have a foreign background (as long as you can do the job), but they will think twice about it, and they expect you to accept a considerably lower salary as a "foreigner" too.

When everybody in the industry talks about "talent shortage" what they really mean is "talent shortage at a lower price point". They get to the lower price point by exploiting immigrants or as in my case people they consider foreigners.
Not in my experience - I develop PHP on Windows and have never had an issue using Composer. I can't imagine what sort of PHP dependencies "don't work on Winblows (cute)" or which even care about your CRT, or how that would even be a Composer issue as opposed to an issue with the libraries themselves or your PHP install. It's just PHP scripts running from an archive - if PHP works, and isn't too out of date, Composer works.

No, it does not. It uses these pixels to (re)present something else. You don't put down a slab of marble and say "this is a sculpture about marble" either.

I understand and agree with your viewpoint on hyperlinks, but I'm talking about the other extreme end, which is what a lot of shitty flat design ends up as.
My complaint was about articles doing benchamrks and not testing on cheap smartphones. I didn't say anywhere that you should add a device to your formal QA process. I mean you probably should but getting a phone and doing the testing for yourself on the project you're working on is what I meant. Which is why I talk about solidarity and highlight the fact that it's cheap. Because it's a personal thing. If you integrate it in the QA process cost doesn't matter, you're right.

I grew up in Mumbai as well. You are probably from upper-middle class, so I don't think all Mumbaikars would classify as learning English as the only language. I think you are in the minority.

I'm going off on a tangent here, but even if English is the only language you speak, it doesn't necessarily make you fluent at communicating with Americans, because you aren't necessarily exposed to the same cultural and linguistic nuances. This can often lead to a lot of miscommunication.

I have met many Indians who are fluent in English and it's the "only thing" they speak and they wear it as a badge with pride. Ironically, these people are worse than the people who are not as fluent in English because they tend to speak English at extremely high speeds as if they are reciting something, which makes it just as hard to understand. And combine that with an accent, and you've lost all the advantage you have as a "native" English speaker.
