Are you a sockpuppet? Routers are not a toy to be dicked around with by amateurs and called "modern". Opnsense is a bad fork which focuses on dubious UI tweaks at the expense of testing and validation. As far as I can tell its raison d'être is marketing and spite.

You're talking about the Python development team, by the way.

Of course they're pedants who want to clean things up. That's why we have Python.
>> I had no idea who he was until this moment

The wording of this comment seems to be, in a very small way, symptomatic of the larger problem that Noah sometimes has with people he meets or knows well. To illustrate my point, here's another way to write the same thing:

>> I had no idea that he was Aaron's brother until this moment

The original wording seems to conflate the identity of Noah's brother with his own.

Physics and how much cash you would need to carry.

5 ticket combos per form and there are comb(69, 5) x 26 or 292,201,338 possible combinations meaning you would need to fill out 58,440,268 powerball forms (the last with only 3 combos on it).

At this point acquiring 58+ million forms is going to be a bit of a problem, followed by building the machine to fill out all the forms, and finally having to buy each set of tickets for $10 each (except, of course, the last form costing $6). I am pretty sure going from place to place as they run out of ticket rolls will also make it a bit difficult.

The point is that it's not turing complete. Thus it's more readable, less susceptible to technical debt and less susceptible to bugs and always by definition, declarative.

The comparison is apropos. I've lived in Hollywood most of my life and have to spend time in SF for work. The entertainment people get a bad rap for being superficial douchebags and chronic bullshitters, but it doesn't even compare to the SF scene. At least in Hollywood, if someone thinks they're hot shit, you can go on imdb and see if they're really as self-important as they think they are. In SF everyone is the best programmer, is working at the most important non-profit, is building the next huge app, and it's very difficult to tell if they're full of shit (hint: 99% of them are).
NovaLogic's Delta Force (1998) and Delta Force 2 (1999) had a "voxel game engine [that allowed for a] nearly unlimited draw distance" [1]. Though the other objects in the game were rendered with polygons, has a far view distance been difficult with modern voxel engines?

The only legitimate purpose of using six.PY3 is for managing a module that runs in both Python 2 or Python 3; for that purpose it's almost essential. When Python 4 eventually comes out you may find vestiges of code that still rely on it, even though it hasn't been required for ages. If PY3 is still True, your code will continue to run just fine without changes. If you find it necessary to manage the upgrade from 3 to 4 I'm sure there will be another package available with the required constants.

Good news for people that don't have local Netflix because streaming content online is much more convenient than watching DVDs etc. However, the new regions of Netflix will have a maximum number of 500 unique titles which is very low compared to US Netflix (5000 titles). If you want to get a good value for your money, you can use services like Unotelly and access all regions of Netflix. You get about 1000% more content with a minimum cost.
"Of course, if you reply to it, then you reveal your real address"

I am not suggesting that you should think that your users are like this, but that you should design with this type of user in mind. Step back, put on your dunce cap, and fix the problems with your design.

This raises a really interesting point which is the cognitive elite are responsible for designing systems with zero empathy for the rest of the population. It is much harder to design a system that anyone can use and most system designers really don’t make the effort.

True, the US is kind of a black hole for urbanity, but you'd be surprised how many hidden gems there are.

East coast obviously is not strained for fantastic cities. The South has fantastic places; Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans are rightfully world class (and surprisingly expensive, for a good reason). Ohio Valley cities are charmers in their own right, though urban renewal really did a number on them. Great weather too; sultry heat in summers, relatively mild winters.

Plus, the US can offer attractive urban experiences that you'd be hard pressed to find in European cities. Many streetcar suburbs offer that unique mix of spacious living and convenience within walking distance, where you're often surrounded by stupendously attractive architecture and lush mature greenery.

But you're right of course, the car has absolutely killed the American city, and in most places growth continues to be on the periphery. It's no wonder that SF is so popular, it's really something of a refuge. It's not as an inhuman place as NYC (gargh, what a dump, a city for machines), but it is also not the strip mall wasteland that's most of the US. It really hits that sweet spot IMO, wish I could afford it.

I disagree. The upswing of the commodity cycle is precisely when you sell. Who knows, maybe oil is obsolete in 10 years. Then we're sitting on a pile of worthless gunk. Get your money when the gettin' is good.
Developers are good at creating mental models of how the system probably works underneath. Non-developer users usually don't do this. If you're making a product for non-developer users, your subconscious tendency to model the system is a disadvantage, because you won't have a reliable sense for what's intuitive and what's not. If an abstraction leaks, you'll see straight through it and manipulate what's under the abstraction; a non-developer user will continue to try to manipulate the abstraction itself.

This disadvantage potentially extends to managers whose job includes understanding what the abstracted-over system is, but they're probably not thinking about it as hard on a day-to-day basis as the developers.

(Note that "non-developer users" probably also includes developers whose expertise does not extend to the specific system in question and therefore have no ability to guess what's leaking across the abstraction barrier, e.g., Linux users trying to use a Windows tool, new employees figuring out your in-house build system, etc. etc.)

I've yet to see The Martian, but have read the book and found it pretty reasonable for the behaviour of all characters, I guess the advantage of a book is that the author can describe the internal thoughts of a character much more clearly than an actor can portray on screen. Further while I'm not rocket science (I prefer rocket surgeon, thanks KSP), my understanding is that the science in The Martian was pretty solid the whole way through.
In terms of building a title and effective presentations, better than PowerPoint or Keynote combined, I use LectoraOnline.com. It has everything I need: QR code generator, embedding of video, HTML export, SCORM compliant, editable themes, and Responsive presentations. That's a short list, as there's more, but it's an incredible app. It's close relative, I'd venture to guess, is Captivate or maybe even Storyline.

Great job on this cool concept! I will definitely check it out. Thank you!

> Surely I'm not the only one?

You're not. I too am subscribed to a lot of groups, so are my friends, and I guess many, many other people. Meetup groups basically work in the same way as Facebook fanpages - you subscribe to them in order to get notified about new events, or to see them popping up when you open the app. There's really no other use for subscribing.

For the group I help run, as well as those I know locally, Meetup only serves two purposes: first, to manage event attendance (give/sell tickets), and second, enabling your group to be found when people open up Meetup app and search the place they're in for interesting events.
Thanks for the heads up, no way I'm touching this.

To two birds with one stone and address a sister post, my biggest issue re: the Martian comes when you read (for a contrived comparison) the Apollo 13 transcripts. As much a life or death situation as anything that happened in The Martian, far less of my wanting to throw the "protaganist" out a window for being a nonstop firehose of bad quips and one liners. Extremely excitable is the tip of the iceberg, my distaste came from a broad mosaic of their personalities and responses being exceedingly "off", largely, without even getting into a discussion on the writing/acting itself.

I definitely think we'd be in a much better place if people building on platforms had the ability to negotiate for some level of assurance of continuity. It's important for people to have confidence in the platforms they build on.

As an update, Google has backed down, and said they made an error, and they won't force RouteBuilder to shutter in the next two weeks. But it sounds like the developer has learned his lesson... as time permits, he's going to start working on moving to another platform.
> new, faster, parallel-aware languages

There were faster languages (and probably more 'parallel-aware' languages - it's not an area I'm very knowledgeable about) before Python but that wasn't the reason it took off. It's fairly unlikely to be the reason it dies off either.

Python remains one of the most humane languages out there and that's a quality that is much more intangible and hard to replicate.

What do you do when a value passes between major versions which have different implementations of its type? What do you do with the `int` type, which was actually two separate types in Python 2? What do you do when the binary representation of strings changes (as it did in the 3 series) and you want to pass that into Python 2 land? What do you do about extension modules written in C, which many popular Python libraries use to speed up hot code? Do you include copies of both standard libraries, meaning you now have duplicate modules and may get one or the other depending on the tag in your file? Which version of Python 2 do you target? What happens when there's a bug in one Python 2 implementation but not the other? How do you handle having two C APIs at the same time?

You mention C++ as though it worked out great, but C++ is still full of sharp edges and features that interact weirdly with its C legacy, and it has never completely replaced C (especially for libraries). And that's despite having a few advantages that made it possible in the first place, like having a completely different stdlib built on top of the C stdlib, and producing machine code rather than compiling for a VM on the fly.
You have energy subsidies up wazoo.

From my memory banks, without doing any research I can think of three:

(1) The prohibition on exporting oil, just recently lifted

(2) Subsidies on corn for ethanol (a stupid thing to do)

(3) Lack of environmental controls on fracking. This is a negative subsidy, in that the absence of sensible policies is advantageous to a chosen industry

In the civilised world we think your agricultural subsidies (and the enormous amount of subsidies in all sorts of areas) are part of what makes the USA a rouge state.

sheesh

I like Braintree's model a bit more, the provide the API consumer with the raw AVS and decline codes from the card processor (while Stripe just says "card_declined"). Braintree also allows you to do finer grain controls such as "Decline charges that fail a zip code check for charges over $500" or "Decline if the bank doesn't support zip code checks."

And with about 2 lines of code you can add more advanced things like device fingerprinting and geolocation through Kount.

*Disclaimer: while I don't work for Braintree yet, I start there in June (though my experience with Stripe is very strong).

I play lotteries when under some simple assumptions I believe the EV to be in my favour - usually when there have been many rollovers.

I dunno. The marginal utility of having a dollar (edit: apparently these tickets cost two dollars, but that doesn't change my answer) in my pocket is zero. Not near zero, but identically zero. My life differs not even a little bit based on whether I have that dollar or not.

The expected value of a lottery ticket is small but nonzero.

ECS is really the only way I'd go with Docker - So far in my experience, Docker in production is really a lot harder than the casual developer / devops person realizes based on the "getting started with docker" tutorials.

My conclusion with Docker is that, in general™, you really need to have a justifiable reason to go whole-hog into Docker, especially if you're not on AWS / considering ECS.

I'm glad the article covers ECS, as it makes a lot of the scheduling / config issues simpler!

> the playbook should describe the state you want the system to be in

This is the real reason.

The playbook is the final state. How it gets there is of no interest to you. All you need to be concerned with is the final result - the state described by the playbook. All the extra complexity is handled by the software.

HN is a really interesting UX that appears to be deliberately designed to be difficult for new users to keep the signal to noise high. At least that is my charitable interpretation.
Totally agree. That's basically the challenge that I wanted to make, but I found that I bit off more than I could chew.
I used to work in a 50-story building that had banks of elevators, each of which was hard-coded to only visit the lobby and the appropriate range of floors. For example, the first bank would only visit 2-13, the 2nd bank would visit 14-25, etc. The elevator cars only had buttons inside for the floors they were allowed to visit. There were also a couple service/freight elevators that could visit all floors (including a couple of service/equipment floors that weren't reachable at all by the normal elevators), and had a human operator/guard who logged badge numbers, floors, and property-removal authorization forms.

I think this sort of elevator allocation is fairly common for tall buildings, because it's horribly inefficient for people going to the 44th floor to have to wait while people get on and off at all of the 42 floors in between!
Having random thrashing return useful instructions (like making the button they SHOULD be clicking on glow or blink a few times) is not a bad design pattern. Reminds me of the annoying (to me) new mac wiggle-for-massive-cursor feature.
Any group with expertise that's not widely shared will do the same. The illusion of transparency means people are shockingly bad at knowing what's obvious or easy unless they're teachers. That doesn't always help either.
