Yeah, certainly could but.. Treating AWS resources as "custom" resources to hack around their long complained about CloudFormation turnaround? Ugh.. Then I have to reason about how to extract that custom resource out and replace it with the RightWay™ once it's added, which may just not even be possible... If it came to that I would rather throw in my efforts with the Terraform community(which I want to do anyway) who have already added this functionality it seems https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/4381 .
> Because poor is poor. Not knowing where you're going to eat next, not knowing where you're going to sleep, not having money for formula or diapers, there's no time where that's good.

There are many shades of 'poor-ness'. I'd model them as various forms of insecurity. Poor is not just one thing.

The main thing that hurts the most is loss of hope. If you have no hope that things will ever get better, then you'll stop trying to find jobs, you'll stop standing up for yourself, you'll settle for whatever security you can find, be it in the arms of a psychopath or not.

With the Internet, you can find out about the larger world. You can talk to people that are not part of your tiny social circle. It's a life raft that you can hold on to.

I met this older lady at the bar once who was in a real rough spot, she had a fixed income that she thought was so small that she couldn't afford her own space, and no access to the Internet to look for anything and no ability to do so even if she had, old people are scared of Internet. She was living with several other women in the house of a man who I'd gathered was at least being emotionally if not physically abusive to. He was charging them rent and coercing favors out of them and being controlling. It was all this lady could do to get out of the house once a week.

I happened to have my laptop with me, so I asked her what her income was, then went on Craigslist and found her several neighborhoods she could move to that fit all her criteria.

The next time I saw her at the bar, she had managed to secure a rental using the information I'd given her. She was a million times happier and effusively grateful for my pointing her in the right direction.

What she had told me pissed me off to the point of being willing to consider violence to rectify her situation, but all she really needed was a few minutes on Craigslist to radically transform her life.

Never underestimate the value of information. The rest of the tech can jump off a cliff, but you will have to pry the Internet from my cold, dead fingers.

You are correct! Not sure how I missed that. Not only is it hard to search for R on the web, but it can be easy to skip over in list. But interesting that it's not mentioned as a vector language itself.

If you actually read the de bello gallico you would have a quite different opinion. Julius Caesar avoided battle and military confrontation as much as he could and usually the armies he had available for his campaigns were a fraction of the size of the armies he was confronting.

Edit: it is also worth adding that Julius Caesar was regularly agreeing to peace agreements with surrounding tribes and populations. Yet, many of his military activities had to be swiftly planned to reject surprise attacks by those same tribes and populations that had been asking for the peace agreements in the first place.
> This shit is not an illness, its a normal response to a fucked up life! Can I get at least some acknowledgment of this fact?

Well, no you can't because it seems a lot of people with really good life are just struck by it.

Although I believe the environment (physical, emotional, relational [edit: in recovery or/and prevention]) plays a huge role there still seems to be something extra going on.
Yes, but faster! Seriously though, that is wicked. I wonder how the creators pulled it off.

But it gets kind of interesting if you realize that all property titles are state-granted exclusionary privileges.

Insofar as current arrangements of a state holding eminent domain, yes. Not intrinsically.

Property rents, as a result of exclusive rights to scarce resources, could be seen as an externality, as a result of everybody else accepting those exclusive rights without compensation for being excluded.

A property owner may extend easement or some other non-possessory right to usage, so to immediately classify all property as an "externality" is flat out wrong. If anything, private property rights are a necessary (if not the primary) precondition to resolving externalities.

There is no excuse for death or violence threats, but I can understand that people get crazy because sometimes decades of muscle memory (e.g. the vanished start menu, the ribbon stuff in Office/the rest of Windows) get lost or scripts that have not been touched in years have to be updated because of backwards compatibility break.

Software vendors in general really need to invest in BC testing - and run early, public beta tests where real users' feedback is heard. Because big companies ignoring their users frustrate people and it takes only a small company's mess up to tip the iceberg...

edit: It might also be an idea if you have a millions-usages-product and you feel the need to redesign or break BC, you should explain to your (paying!) customers why you negatively affect their lives. Or make the change revertable (an option in a config menu, or just a config.ini entry), so that new users (which you A/B tested your new idea on!!!) get the new behavior, and old users with muscle memory training can continue to use the old way.
Poor in this country (the US) is totally different than other countries.

Most "poor" people have TV's, VCR's computers and smartphones. Most poor people can find places to sleep or crash or get groceries and handouts to survive. With all of the government plans, it's actually pretty easy to be poor in America:

He said he worked for a startup.
Gender: we have a variety of systems set up and we try to give them each a unique personality. My home, for example, is a male named Theodore with a British accent. The LA office is Scarlett and the Denver office is Samantha.

Website: we have a new website launching soon with a lot more information. You stumbled upon a page I hope to finish building today. Sorry for the confusion.

"Voice programming": We chose to focus on getting a product to market and proving customer demand before building out the entire developer portal. It's definitely the plan and we want to do it, it's just not where we see early revenue coming from and as a small team we have to pick our battles. I can't wait to open this stuff up when ready.
I'm surprised so many at HN disagree. The mobile tech trends he describes are some of the biggest drivers of recent startups. I expected us to be more forward thinking.

It's $250k if you count the equity. The base salary in cash is not that amount, but if you include options/RSUs, and the company continues to do well, those numbers make sense.

If you do the math as base+equity you will often find startups that are giving out even better offers. I've seen $300k+ if you consider dollars in RSUs the same thing as dollars in cash. Unfortunately the math really is base+(equity*chance_it_pays_out). With that math, you are much more likely to come out ahead at Google, FB, Microsoft, etc.
We have experimented Deis (deis.io) and Marathon (of Mesos). Both provide all requirements for service composition and load balancing. I personally find Deis more simple to use where Mesos is like Rambo for managing infrastructure.
I double checked this now and it turns out you are correct. The verbiage Ello used was "Ad Free" and they had taken Seed prior to launching.
> My brain just refuses to fully "grok" them. I still don't see why they're so awesome. I know I use them day-to-day - LINQ, the "List" abstraction (supposedly also a monad??) but I just don't see why it's important to understand them on this whole new fundamentally different level.

Why do you want to "grok" them? Just use them. In fact I'd say there isn't much more to grokking them than just using them.
Thanks! I am honestly amazed so many people were able to get to that page. We plan on going live with the website next week and right now it takes a fair bit of digging around to get there. That said, it is technically "public" facing so I'm fixing it up as soon as Stripe permits. Will probably disable the button in the meantime if you go back.
I think it's a defining characteristic of Capital-ism - as in the belief that seeking the accumulation of capital for its own sake is strictly positive for society (which is closer to what Marx meant) but these days capitalism seems to lean more "free market"-ism, which doesn't care much for rent-seeking.

That apparently doesn't stop self interested economists going on an academia-themed anti-union rant.

Your promotion of this odd conspiracy about bourgeoisie capitalist economists being bought out by think tanks and promoting anti-labor, pro-capitalist propaganda is just completely baffling to me. You did the same in a previous thread about minimum wages and here again you insinuated in a different post about how Dean Baker's motivation for this paper (being an ACA supporter) must be conspiring to drive down wages of the medical profession to make ACA cheaper.

I just don't know how one can respond to you.

The first place to start is for us to embrace GPL and shun BSD style licenses that allow tivoization. It's those kinds of licenses being abused and turned around on consumers that not only enabled the current state of things, but actively prevents us from fixing the current state of things. (sorry, that bug in your ps4 is there till we patch it, because you don't own your hardware and the software is closed.

RMS may be a bit eccentric, but he was and is right, I think he was just a man ahead of his time. (A/L)GPLv3 ftw.
> ...we can't just decide that property rights can be ignored when they're cheap to exploit (like copyright or patent infringement).

That's not the argument against IP. The argument is that IP isn't a thing as such. When you are copying ideas, the originator of the idea can eat his cake while you bake your own (literally). The crime (again, sometimes literally) is that you disrupted someone's monopoly, not that you took their car so they don't have a car anymore.

The whole concept of intellectual property is that it's supposed to be a win-win; limited monopolies are granted to encourage creation and innovation, and the public benefits from the innovations and the growing public domain. If, as proposed, rent seeking in the form of IP protection is causing wealth imbalances, then the bargain is probably a net good for the monopoly holder and a net bad for the public. If that is the case, the terms of the bargain should be revisited. The types of patents granted, how strict the process is, how soon things enter public domain, the terms of "fair use", and other things might need to be relaxed to make the deal fairer to the general public.

We tend to ignore it

One thing that FreeBSD doesn't have is a well known public face. Every software project (and company) needs one.

Linux is Torvalds. Of course there's a lot more to a distribution than the kernel, but most people don't think that far.

OpenBSD is Theo. Love him or hate him.

But FreeBSD? A while ago Jordan Hubbard came to mind. But he was never "the" guy, and he left a long time ago. I view it as being run now by a nameless, faceless cabal.

Anyway, that's just my opinion on one reason why we tend to ignore it.

GTK2 was a universal toolkit. Only with GTK3 the developers stated they're absolutely focusing only on a toolkit for GNOME and everyone else can take a hike.
Pretty irresponsible to mention "increased risk" without saying what that risk is, nor what the increase actually is.

The article makes it perfectly clear what the risk is, how much the increase is, and with what factors it is associated; and what the researchers caveats were about their own findings. The poster you were slamming wasn't spreading FUD or hyperbolizing; he was just simplifying. It's pretty irresponsible (and obnoxious) of you to suggest otherwise.
There are other similar family drugs that seem less likely to harm the bladder (see MXE and new ketamine analogs) while still having the anti-depressant and neuro-protective effects of ketamine. Jury is still out on how prevalent bladder damage is, and if its caused by ketamine itself. AFAIK, most of the cases where bladder damage have shown up have been reversible and in extremely high dose and chronic ketamine usage.

FWIW - doctors are definitely using "recreational" doses in these experiments.
> So the distinction might not be that important.

If you take someone's home, they are homeless. If you copy someone's cat video, they still have their copy to enjoy. That's a huge distinction.
Hah, ok fair point about the articles. I had no idea those were even links. Grey text with no underline or mouseover so I scanned right past them.

Maybe I really am a relic of the desktop era...
The counter argument is that now that the entire world is on the internet (unlike the 1990s), the addressable market for tech is significantly greater than it once was. Maybe there isn't a bubble at all, or maybe even if their is a bubble in VC the value of a single good engineer is still really freaking high.

Minimum Viable Language
Every language should come with a "minimum" instruction set. A curated subset of commands and syntax that makes the most common 80% of tasks possible.

My guess is that the MVL for Javascript + jQuery would be about 10% the size of the L.

It would have saved me years of learning and practice time if Javascript + jQuery had an MVL, and I had access to it.

That's well above "poor" in my mind.

You're describing someone who thought they were poor. Sure, yup, some people are there. But many people are ACTUALLY poor - and the claim was that it's better to be ACTUALLY POOR TODAY, than RICH twenty years ago. I don't buy it.
I had the opposite reaction. I tried to convince myself that I couldn't be recognizing the landscape in the vast area even though I did. I zoomed in and immediately recognized the area of Colorado where I work.

Though it probably reinforces his point more. Would you rather be working for Google or a random startup when the next recession comes?
That captures my feelings really well. And then I think that if I'm going to stick to the "meat and potatoes" of functional programming, I might as well just use a language in the ML family.
The blurb at the front says some of these things are in use by US government, some aren't. So why does the government's internal catalog list things the government doesn't use? Who would buy those things if they weren't in use? I'm not trying to make a point here, I'm confused.

I intended to react to the comment "But when I try to dip my toe back into the Haskell community, a wave of despair washes over me. There's just too much. Haskell is changing too fast."

I think this is true. There are too many ways to do everything in Haskell and they're changing too often. If you don't get very specific guidance, you're going to be totally paralyzed with indecision. I have good evidence that you can do very well by confining the solution space.

I live in Dublin, don't work for Google but I have many friends that do (as well as in London and Zurich).

No, they don't pay anything close to that. Actually, AFAIK, in Dublin the salary that Google pays for developers is on the low side of the scale (they offset that, in part, with all the benefits like free food and the rest).
It's a double-edged sword for privacy reasons.

1. A number of early customers we've spoken with don't like the idea of an always listening device. The perception is an invasion of privacy.

2. There's a fear that someone outside the home could simply yell a command like "unlock the doors" to gain access. There are a number of ways one could solve this, but it's a fear we've heard about.

So the extra friction of taking out your phone and pressing a button so far seems worth the added layer of privacy and security, but we're definitely thinking hard about this one.
