Ok, now that I know your focus, I basically just used my fast googling technique and searched through recent archives to see if anything popped up. Here's various things in hardware, software, and architecture benefiting from SO to learn from or improve on in your own work.

Multi-optimization scheme for nanometer

Note: This does not do stochastic I don't think but a number of other methods. It's significant because it specifically mentions modern, typically large, designs avoid stochastic optimization for global issues because it's cost-prohibitive compared to geometric methods. That might have significant implications outside EDA, too. Might only be good for local optimizations that are tied together some other way.

Even including the "safe" parts of the US in the equation the murders per capita rate is three times higher than Serbia. If you count police shootings the numbers get so crazy compared to any other first world country it is pretty safe to say there is a problem.

It's always interesting to see a fresh take on something already in use, especially when the focus is on optimization.

However, I completely disagree that Preact is a "React alternative." React is not simply a bunch of code. It's an entire ecosystem with a large community supported by a well-funded entity. A lot of these new libraries and/or frameworks popping up seemingly every other week and claiming to be an alternative to X are just not up to par with the competition and/or the expectations of developers.

Whenever I see something new on the radar, I look at the documentation and commit history. Anything unproven without good documentation, examples, unit tests and/or performance tests is just ignored. If I really like the concept, I'll bookmark it and check on it periodically.
Use destructuring to pull the needed values out of the ring request. For example:

(defn login [{{:keys [email password]} :params
session :session}] ...)

Also remember as well as the :keys special form you have :strs and :syms.

Conscription was a reality for men about half a century ago, and could be again during a war. The laws are ready for that. Forced national service is a reality in many countries.
The first graph I saw was that a poll of Clojure fans shows they like the language features in it. This of course fails to survey the people not using it and why not, and what undesired features prevent them from using it or what lack of features prevent them from using it.

> Has anybody put together a project to build a "distributed observatory" to coordinate the efforts of a great number of amateur astronomers, each with a small telescope?

For the purposes of looking for faint objects, not that I'm aware of. But there is an effort called the "Center for Backyard Astrophysics"[0] that is a loose network of (mostly amateur) observatories to do long time series brightness measurements of variable stars. I was involved in taking some data with/for them ~10 years ago while an undergrad[e.g., 1] and it was a fun experience.

They use templates like Signal0<>, Signal1<T1>, Signal2<T1,T2>, etc. with fixed argument length instead of a more uniform solution like variadic templates.

The code in the library is pretty old and I suppose that an update with regards to C++11/14/17 would make it much better in every regard.
Realistically I think that the last field, Vulnerabilities / Product, is the one of more interest here. Rates are much more informative than absolutes. I'd be more concerned using a Canonical product based on the data you've shared than a Microsoft product.
Not really. I would argue that today college is little more than a weeding out process that weeds out far too many. You sit in classes and solve bullshit problems with known answers that will have very little bearing on the realities of your professional life once you graduate. For the most part people go to college to have a piece of paper that says they went to college and had enough stamina to tolerate this bullshit and not drop out.

What we should be cultivating instead is the capacity for self-directed learning and deep motivation.
Thanks for the explanation in the edit. I also upvoted the comment for balance.
OK. i ve read all comments here. literally. why no one mentioned baasbox? i am building a mobile app with parse and now considering to move it to the baasbox on my own server. And no one here mentioned them. something wrong with it?

Proper TypeScript usage is still pretty rare, so this felt OK.

And if you were pointing to a repo of the code that powers your startup, I'd agree with you.
The linked article was fluff piece by a friend of his.
Can you elaborate on how you got started on TypeScript? What IDEs and editors are you using? What build process? How did you handle integration with non-TS libraries? Are there any problems you faced that you wouldn't have, had you stuck with JS? (I'd read a blog post about this, by the way)
> Everything would be so much easier to learn if mv was generally aliased to move and all code examples used the long version.

I dunno; Tim Berners-Lee has said that his single biggest mistake was including two slashes in URLs (as in http://news.ycombinator.com, as opposed to http:/news.ycombinator.com). (I can't find any better citation for this than http://www.plughitzlive.com/theupstream/298-creator-of-the-w..., unfortunately.) I think that one shouldn't underestimate the apparently negligible impact of an extra character or two, if there will be millions of people typing those extra characters potentially many times a day, over the course of decades or centuries.

(Actually, now that I read your post more carefully, you say that `mv` should be aliased to `move`, meaning, I assume, that `mv` would also be available. I am still unsure about that, because most people would never bother to learn the short version—witness how many people don't know keyboard shortcuts for their most commonly used programmes—but I guess the experts would, and that, perhaps, is enough.)
I have the Skarsta (the smaller top). It's pretty good, my only two issues with it are:

1) The top is affixed to the leg brackets using plastic screws, and the top tends to move around a little bit. Definitely wouldn't want to pick up / move the desk by holding onto the top only

2) The top was bowed slightly in the middle on the one I bought. My Apple Keyboard would wobble slightly, so I put masking tape on one of the rubber feet.
No, you get Nim source code debugging using line number directives etc, works great including breakpoints and all. I have tested several IDEs and it works. But data inspection does generally not work - that would require some work to support GDB protocols.
Have you discussed your workload issues with your boss? Is it possible to ask for more a bigger team or push back on the amount of work expected?
That might easier and faster than finding a new job, especially since you like everything else about the company.
Good luck either way!

A YC apprenticeship program that combines internships with YC companies with trade classes from various resources including techshop, crucible, and others.

There are so many creative people in the world that simply need mentors and resources.

The Bay Area can really provide all of this!

There are likely tens of resources I am glossing over, but if the YCcommunity is to prove that we can solve this issue, we have everything we need to do so and just need a leadership umbrella; YC, to prove it and the gumption !!

Who's willing (other than me, and I will dog food this!!)

>>Most people have any interest in learning beaten out of them by our crappy factory/prison like educational system. Because you know what's not conducive to learning? Having no choice as far as subjects; having no choice how long you spend on them; having no choice on who to learn from; having no choice who you learn with.

Yes, the interest gets beaten out of many children due to bad schooling, but nowadays excessive usage of TV/internet/facebook/whatsapp/sports/entertainment are also equally or more responsible for that. That's where some kind of structuredness and discipline is required.

About choice - it would great if you get some of those choices - but life/Nature/society are not so kind. But one can try homeschooling. Homeschooling gives you a great deal of freedom to you as parents to offer a great deal of freedom to your kids as students in this respect. But beware of unschooling as it is not very helpful from education point of view as some amount of structuredness and discipline are a must to learn any non-trivial technical subject to a significant level of detail.

Smartphone encryption is a red herring
I was reading an article just the other day saying how the web has made people feel the need to self censor, "apologise in advance", add disclaimers to everything they write, etc. because they're afraid to offend anyone these days since some people online are nuts. Unfortunately I can't find the link now...

Disclaimer: I don't like disclaimers. Just write what you believe; unapologetically be you.

Don't know what you're referring to. Dart's release was well past by the time TypeScript debuted.[1] Dart was announced in 2011.[2][3] The only significance that 2013 has to Dart that I know of is that's when Dart 1.0 was released. If that's what we're measuring, TypeScript's 1.0 coincided with Build 2014—still later than Dart's corresponding date, and among other things, that would mean we could say Rust is less than a year old, even though it predates both.

>At the end of 2 generations, people may not need to work or 50+% of them will be forced into permanent unemployment.

Or maybe not. People have been predicting that for hundreds of years, and it still hasn't happened.

>What do you do in that case? Does the state toss democracy out the window by culling the unemployable? Does the state implement basic income to prevent such a tragedy from occurring?

The problem is UBI might cause big problems in the absence of any other problems. Certainly if labor becomes mostly worthless I'd consider it, but that's certainly not the case just yet.

"To be revenue-neutral, some people will be worse off with a smooth curve (e.g. those earning $29k getting maximum benefits), and others will be better off (e.g. those who lose $6k of benefits after earning just over $29k). But every dollar earned will lead to improved livelihood."

can be finessed in a palatable way. Try to avoid too many you took money from grandma to give to the pot smoking college kid. You sold me on it. The only problem I see how do you convince the voter on disability complaining about the gorvn'ment and all it GD entitlements... and your also talking about the country that's about to elect the guy that wants to ban Muslims from the country.

In a sense, publishing a research paper is part of an ongoing public discussion, in reply to all the other authors cited in your work.

Apart from that, there are talks at conferences which are open to discussion with the audience.

I suppose there's not really a need for much more than that, in the public sphere. There is plenty of private discussion amongst one's peers of course.
Free Software is just as strong as it always has been. It's now swimming in a larger pond of "Free enough".

If all software is open by default (pretty much the chinese "gonkai" concept), that is a wonderful start. it means proprietary software is losing, and means that working on/with proprietary software is an evolutionary dead-end.

But I think, especially for software that secures our individual rights/liberties, Free Software (in the GPL sense) will still need to exist with much the same toothy license as today.

Ask HN: What MBaaS would you recommend?
I just started developing my app using Parse and they've just announced that they'll be shutting down.

I looked around Firebase but their functionality is very limited (no cloud code, notifications, background jobs, analytics, etc) unless you integrate with dozens of scattered libraries and services that Google provides.

I also considered AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/mobile/) but their pricing looks very confusing, "pay for what you use", you gotta figure out how much data you'll be storing, reads/writes, compute power, notifications sent etc before you can estimate what it's going to cost you. I'd like a structured and clear pricing plan like Parse and Firebase have.

Would anyone recommend any other platform that will let me develop a serverless application?

Land values are not about lifestyle and preferences, they are about interest rates, scarcity, and proximity to economic production.

As services and particularly technological services become more important and create more value, the value of land proximate to these activities will continue to increase, because the business depends on talent, and network power i.e. relationships with other individuals (which require proximity). As for interest rates, I forecast they stay low for decades as inflation will remain suppressed.

There could be several cyclical downturns along the way but I can't see any way land values in the Bay Area don't appreciate at an annual rate greater than national CPI ~30 years from now.
>I would love to see public sector unions eliminated in the city, if not nationwide. They just make things worse for everyone. Society needs an alternative to the union system in the public sector.

That's because you aren't familiar with what life looks like without unions. You know those Chinese factories, where they have to put up nets to prevent people from throwing themselves off buildings? Or maybe read up on the Triangle factory fire. Unions are like any other community organized around a cause that isn't purely profit-driven; they become political in nature. You might be sitting pretty money-wise, but there's a huge swath of people in America that aren't. And because of the bullshit they have to put up with from their employers, unions look pretty good.
Final note: You probably know that Apple, Google, Facebook et al colluded to hold down salaries and reaped billions in savings from that.
Though there is a class action suit being brought forth to recoup those losses, you really, really need to ask yourself this: If multi-billion dollar multinationals are doing that to 'respectable' professions like engineers and developers, what do you think smaller caompanies are getting away with doing to their employees every single day?
I have never been in your position, and I dont envy the pickle you're in - but I HAVE had customer data (possibly sanitized or partially sanitized, I never peeked) at various times and I always viewed it more as a liability than leverage!

If any of that data were ever to be released, it wouldnt be hard to point the finger at the few people who had access (and especially motive). It would be incredibly short-sighted of him to release anything.

This thread has some great advice, but in addition to that it sounded like hes a friend to you? Perhaps soon after he is let go you can have a word with him as a human instead of as a business and just say: "Look, thanks for your hard work, I really appreciate what you've brought to the table. Be aware that people here at the company will notice if you release or reuse anything you worked on here so you might want to make any copies of work stuff you still have disappear. I know its not good timing but youre sitting in a timebomb and I dont want it to blow up under you"

I think it's emblematic of the whole Shuttle program to look at the flight test program. There basically wasn't one. In particular, look at the various abort scenarios, and then look at the abort testing. Don't look too hard for the abort testing, because they didn't do any. There was pretty much zero resiliency in the system, and they knew it.
