I learned that reality is not so far from movies (depends heavily on where you live though).
This is great! I hope it spreads to other countries.

Was it just a one time thing before graduation? Or re-taught every year?
I couldn't find any actual examples on how to use the new frozen string literals. Lots of discussion in the link provided, but that's it.
People skills matter more than I previously thought & determines professional success to a large extent.

Not a wild insight I know but still new to me.
The Rails ecosystem is mature now, which means you can find an off-the-shelf gem to do just about anything you want. So building things in Rails is very very fast. It's hard to beat for MVP-style development.
Then B opens another and you get ABAB. It's the same game
Very sad to say but this old Star Wars fan was very disappointed with the movie. To me it looked cheap, with a poor rehashed plot. Very much the Hunger-games (permanently unhappy teenage girl) meets any film staring Danny Glover (out of place but racially correct actor who looks permanently shocked & breathless). And just how bad does Jedi training need be, so that you get beaten by a little girl who has never picked up a lightsaber before?

mind reader, you
Threat your database like an API and only introduce backward-compatible changes. For example if you want to rename a column, make a new column with the target name and a trigger that keeps both columns in sync. Once the new code is deployed everywhere you can remove the trigger and the old column.
I could see it making deployment faster or nicer. Imagine being able to compile all the byte code for a Rails app locally and just shoving that up instead of waiting on bundling and all that.

Also I think this would make possible hot code upgrades which are cool but probably more work than their worth. Unless you can build smart hooks into background job and web server libraries that only change the byte code in between jobs and requests. Oh the possibilities!

When Blockbuster Vídeo entered the Brazilian market, it seemed every store was located less than one block away from the then current market leader, Hobby Video. One hypothesis was that they bought the same market/demographic data. The other is that Blockbuster never even needed that data - all they had to do was to locate their stores based on Hobby Video's use of the demographic data.
Why? Genuinely curious.
This thought consumes me a lot. Being an only child who has a mother that is 3,000 miles away and a father that is 2,000 miles away.

Government Is What We Make of It
Each facility of course has their own water contract, right? What we were talking about is the domestic use.

I cycle to work, and it means that I take a shower in the morning at the office building, and another one in the evening back home. So one shower per day is included in the domestic consumption (for me, and for others who don't cycle but also take a daily shower at home).

I don't think that's so different between U.S., Copenhagen or my place (Finland). It might be different in less modernist cultures where people don't have bathrooms of their own but go to communal baths -- for example, communities in East Karelia/Russia; there many people just bath twice a week in a public баня and that would surely show up in water consumption per person when measured per apartment. On the other hand, there you probably will see that water is not priced at cost and many many taps will leak a lot...

I don't think that will happen for a while, if it does happen. They haven't even released their patch under a compatible licence yet, or their library as open source, for example.
Does anyone have comparable numbers for other countries?
Reminds me of a similar situation. We were working on a device powered by what looked like a 6 pack of 16 Oz cans caps charged to 500V. SCRs controlled the discharge of the capacitors into the device and caps were charged in opposite polarity so that the device could deliver current in opposite polarity depending on which way the mechanism was to move. There was a flaw in the logic that controlled the SCRs and in some circumstances both directions were on resulting in a direct short between the two banks of caps, discharging all stored energy in a fraction of a second (about 300 ms IIRC) That resulted in catastrophic failure of the SCR which propelled pieces of casing across the room and left my ears ringing.

I asked that a cardboard box blast shield be placed over the H/W before participating in further tests.
To be fair, the people wgo still have high lead in their water is because they have lead pipes on their property.
'try' is relatively slow compared to other control logic, as allowing an exception to be thrown involves constructing an exception stack trace. This is slow in all VMs I know. Theoretically you could detect that the trace isn't used and remove it through escape analysis, but this is not easy, or you could do some crazy thing with lazily creating the stack trace, but that's a research project.
Firstly, anyone who creates something and puts it up for people to see deserves congratulations. Nicely done. I look forward to reading this and have bookmarked it to return to regularly.

And now this is going to seem really harsh, but I've learned, as I produce specialist sites and facilities for other people, that immediate and instant reactions are incredibly important. So here are mine.

True design has usability at its heart, appearance being secondary to that. Things can look gorgeous, but without usability it's art and nothing else.

It's a nightmare to read - please, please, increase the contrast. It's wishy-washy and bland.

The text is small, and there's just so much wasted space. Increasing the text size to something sensible means there's also nothing on the screen, leading to endless scrolling.

Beautiful to look at, provided you don't actually want to use it. Additionally, the "1" and "2" links at the bottom are really hard to hit.

Other questions, then:

How are you going to enforce the focus on CS?

Do usability issues fall in the remit?

Ask HN: In Washington DC till jan 3rd. Meetup?
I'm in Washington DC till jan 3rd and I'd love to meet some of the entrepeneurs / startups around here.

Is there any startup drinks organized here?
I learned several things the hard way this year:

- stay away from people who have shown bad character traits in the past (e.g. cheating, violence, drug abuse...) even if they downplay/justify it and behave reasonably towards you for a long time

- Severe health issues can creep up on you even if you have no symptoms and live a reasonably healthy life (no smoking/drinking/weight/obvious environmental issues). I apparently lost either the genetic or Chernobyl lottery and had a rare tumor removed that nearly left me quadriplegic. My typing speed is now approx. 1/5th of what it was before and my hands ache all day, but fortunately I can still walk and do most things like before.
That being a software developer at a technology company trumps being a developer at a company that has technology.
Good software development is about people skills. No matter how good a coder you are, you can't possibly deliver what the client wants if you don't understand the problem.
Actually you can both systems at the same time. DNS blocking is one efficient solution for devices which doesn't have access to Adblock, but it doesn't block you from using Adblock on your computers and your compatible phones / tablets.
Is It Christmas?
Yes, that is right. Xmas cake is the fruit cake often found inside the wedding cake.
I use terminal based Vim exclusively and now I'm completely spoiled. Every other interface seems ridiculously "laggy". I don't know if it's just a psychological thing or something more like the SpeechJammer, but if I type at a co-workers computer I will sometimes completely lock up and be unable to type for a second or two.
1. Never underestimate people.
2. Never compare persons, it is unfair to everyone and makes the comparer look bad.
Businesses basically subsidize part of the cost for consumers. Many are also high bandwidth usage and require support and uptime contracts.

As with so many other things, Swedes seem to be happy to persist the myth of superior drinking and bathing water which actually doesn't match the facts, at all. The water in central Stockholm is a slimy cocktail of raw sewage, localized heavy metals from old industries, algae and pesticides.

These articles are unfortunately all in Swedish - swedes prefer to keep their bad news local:

Raw sewage from new apartment buildings connected directly to one of the most popular bathing places in central Stockholm that ran out freely for at least three years:

I alwasy knew this but 2015 really confirmed it for me. My dad passed away this year. Life is short. Don't sweat the small stuff that wouldn't matter in the long run. Try to be happy with whatever you can. Yes, plan for things and work hard. But don't forget to party harder. Life is short. Did I say that already ?
Specialising Dynamic Techniques for Implementing The Ruby Programming Language
If you think of the distance any individual consumer needs to travel as a penalty/loss to that consumer, locating both shops right next to each other at the center clearly does not minimize the sum penalty to the set of consumers.

Moving each shop 1% of the distance away from the center will reduce by that amount the distance travelled by nearly every consumer. (Only those consumers located at or between the shops will be harmed, and everyone else will gain. As you continue to move the shops apart, this set becomes larger until you reach an equilibrium.)

"unknown browser"... Always amazed by these bubbled, insulated-firstworld statements. I lived in europe with unlimited mobile bandwidth and regularly used Opera Mini for a combination of leaner/quicker navigation and removal of undesirable trackers/scripts.

Also its offline pages feature is great for travellers and, 3G/4G doesn't cover 100% of any country.

Try to navigate script-heavy sites on these connections and you'll quickly realize that opera mini restrictions are desirable features.
Stockholm is also dumping a large amount of contaminated snow in the water every winter.

This blog post is a bit old but shows around 1.25mm apps on the iOS App Store at the beginning of 2015.

I also think 500k apps is either a heavily padded number or has an extra 0... I doubt one company accounts for more than 33% of apps.

Create a Toast Notification in Android with NativeScript
Yes. In my freelancing life, I met plenty of people where we both agreed I was the better coder by far, but the other charged a higher rate. My people skills are pretty good, for engineer standards. But theirs were better :-)
When I realized that the entire essence of being here on earth is to help others fulfil their goals, I made up my mind to come up with ways of helping others solve few of their problems. In this regard, I have achieved an encouraging success in 2015. And I am now fired up to continue and make it a life long pursuit. I am totally convinced that if one should dedicate resources to serving others, the returns would exceed costs. I am opened to suggestions, advice and partnership. Thank you all.

You kid, but it gets really frustrating when consumer goods die after two months because your tap water is pretty much liquid chalk. Pour a glass, leave it for an hour, there'll be a few mm of calcium carbonate precipitated out in the bottom of your glass. Can't use it for ice (just crumbles - too mineralised), coffee and tea end up with a skin, anything that quick-boils water, like an espresso machine, is destined for the trash heap.
It's fixed now. Thanks
This is a really cool writeup. It's probably worth noting that humans don't notice latency under about 100ms and the table at the end shows all the editors surveyed coming in under that number. That said, I've noticed severe latency problems while trying out Atom, and almost never have problems with Vim (unless I try to edit a massive file in it). But for me the latency problems I notice usually aren't typing ones, but rather other interactions with the editor such as opening new files or trying to move around text.

Yea this site appears to be about software development not CS. YCombinator is a CS term. Dev and Stash are both development terms (I hesitate to even call it software engineering actually).

Even the name doesn't make sense.
I find ClojureScript to be far preferable. The language is much better designed in my opinion. It's simple and consistent, while being very flexible and expressive. from what I can tell it does everything ES6 does and more right now.

The biggest problem with ES6 is that JavaScript just keeps growing as a language. It has lots of features and quirks already, and more are getting added. This is what you end up dealing with when using ES6 + React (https://i.imgur.com/AjSTP20.png).

I think the problem with this is that it adds mental overhead when you're reading and writing code. Something that looks like it might be doing one thing does something subtly different. This leads to hard to debug errors and wastes you time. It also distracts you from the actual problem you're solving.

I also find tooling for ClojureScript is better in many areas. Instead of having to juggle things like npm, gulp, grunt, and so on. You can use a single build tool like Leiningen that handles all those things. You have a live coding environment with Figwheel, and you get an editor integrated REPL where you can inspect things easily at runtime.

I've been using ClojureScript in prod for about a year now without any issues. I simply wouldn't go back to using Js at this point.

Just had my son four weeks ago. What a crazy ride it has been already. I went from 'this is wonderful' to 'maybe this was a mistake' to 'I don't want him to grow up anymore' all in that short time span. It's amazing. Would love to swap notes :D
Based on the author's figures and assuming complete independence of the conditions listed, only about 30% of the population would be untouched by any of them. At the other end of the spectrum, assuming complete dependence between the probabilities, the overall probability would be no higher than the highest among them, or 20%---meaning that 80% would be unafflicted. Assuming the truth lies somewhere between these two assumptions and splitting the difference, we'd get 55% unafflicted, which doesn't seem all that surprising. After all, no matter how strong our 'misery filter' may be, virtually all of us know someone who is clinically depressed, or an alcoholic, or who has dementia. We all know people who were sexually assaulted, although we may not know it. We know people in wheelchairs, and/or on disability. And these people are represented in our lives in numbers not far off from the proportion given as the rate in the general population.

It's a good reminder of the struggles that many face, often hidden from our daily view even if we are generally aware of them. But as a revelation of the power of our social filter, it seems exaggerated.

Daily Report: The Perils Facing Tech Startup Employees
Ah, I see!

So neon-bridge is a utility npm package I published that automates loading your Neon project (so it's not the name of an example module). And the expectation is that you only have one Rust package ("crate" in Rust parlance) per Node package, which is why you don't need to pass it the name of anything -- it's looking for _the_ native module in the package, as opposed to _a_ native module.

However, that single Rust crate may have multiple modules in its implementation. They live in the src/ directory of your Neon project and are picked up by the Rust compiler and build tool.

And yes, deeeeefinitely need to get some docs going... :P

I have criticized a number of sites in the past for poor readability, and I agree with you that this page has a lot of wasted space.

On the other hand, I didn't find the contrast of the text to be all that bad, and the font size appears to me to be at least as large as the font used in Hacker News.

"Additionally, the "1" and "2" links at the bottom are really hard to hit." I think the upvote and downvote icons in Hacker News are even harder to hit.

Disney Movies Anywhere is the best approach to this. They give you a license on every popular service (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Xbox, etc.).

Still sucks that you get locked in to a particular quality level, and buying movies is still dumb vs. just streaming and rentals, but it's better than UltraViolet.
