It seems like the root cause is that you've been working too much now that you've been promoted. Start pushing towards working less. Manage expectations. Leave work at work (and leave on time). You said it yourself, it was just for the MVP. You need to change the norm back to the way it was.
Long names are hard to read. This makes autocompletion dangerous (I had a terrible bug where I locked the wrong of two mutexes with long, descriptive names which were too similar visually.)

A good name is short enough to read as a sign in itself, it shouldn't be parsed as a sentence.

The more code reuse there is, the less you might be using the same name, as a sister comment says - but the more names you have, and a lot of long names is really hard to read. So I disagree with sister's "downside" of "it's bad for bad programmers". It's even worse for otherwise good ones who buy into this style. (Or maybe not, maybe they just read differently from me and say Rob Pike who objected "names which are short essays about the thing they name.")

We knew the storm was coming days before. Snow emergency routes are posted and publicly known. People's cars couldn't be stuck there due to the snow unless they failed to move their cars before the storm like they were required to do. This failure makes it much harder to clear important roads and impedes emergency services. Ticketing these people seems entirely appropriate to me.
Absolutely, at the highest levels, where you are doing research, working with researchers, and working in labs, then you definitely want brilliant researchers hired for their research background. I just don't think that's true for the majority of undergraduate or even graduate students. And (I think), universities are very good at hiring for research ability.

Hiring for teaching ability they are not good at, even when they intend to.
UBI means dignity. Anything else put a huge dent in how one and others see him.
Why are you lumping Iraq and Afghanistan together? Those were vastly different situations.

Note to down voters: do some research. First of all, there was widespread support for invading Afghanistan in both the US (over 90%) and in Afghanistan (also in the 90% range). This was not the case for Iraq.

Second, Iraq was based on questionable intelligence that there might be things going on there that could potentially lead to attacks on the US at some future time. Afghanistan was in response to an attack that had already occurred by groups that were operating out of Afghanistan.

Third, Congressional support for the Afghanistan invasion was 420 yes, 1 no, 10 not voting in the House, and 98 yes, 2 not voting in the Senate. For Iraq, the House was 297 yes, 133 no, 3 not voting, and the Senate was 77 yes, 23 no. FFS, even Ron Paul voted for invading Afghanistan.

There is no way you can make a plausible case that Bush supporting the Afghanistan invasion indicates low intelligence, whereas you can kind of make such a case for Iraq.
Many police forces in Europe operate in a totally different manner than what you've described of Asia + America. This is not a "universal" problem.

Ultimately, this comes down to the management strategies the police utilize. The British/American paradigm is the tragic, horrible police management strategy that leads to the types of stories we're discussing now. Many Asian countries follow the same such policies. Go look at Norway's police force, and you'll see that things can be very, very different.
I bought a sit-stand frame from Ergotron[0] which I fitted my old desk surface onto which saved me quite a bit of money.

I don't like cranks or electronic motors. My criteria for a sit/stand desk was that it must be fast and practically effortless to switch between the two positions. For that you cannot beat a lift-system like the one in the Ergotron.

Right, though my understanding is Tails' and TOR's position are not to torrent using either system:

.net's standard library assemblies are generally excellent. A little verbose, perhaps. And very occassionnally a "what were they thinking?" moment (like WebClient throwing an exception for a 404 response-- fixed in HttpClient.) But overall, excellent.

The idea that "online classes" are the bullshit, easy-credit classes is false. When I was doing my undergrad years ago I took one class, statistics, online because of a scheduling conflict. The only way my experience differed from that of a person sitting in the classroom was how my lectures were delivered. Otherwise, it was the same homework, same quizzes, same exams, same everything. (The lectures were also the same, actually, having simply been recorded and put online a day or two later.) Moving your body to a particular physical location has a couple benefits, to be sure, and the trick to online education is to try to make that ground up. It's certainly not fatal to the educational process. Why would it be?
What do you mean by "commit log style"? I couldn't really figure it out when looking at the MIX spec.
It has a very small portion of the mindshare. Almost everyone uses R, Python, or one of the proprietary things.

I use Clojure for any data science type tasks I have, but that is because I am primarily a Clojure developer.

It is very nice for a lot of basic data analytics -- but I doubt many full time data scientists use Clojure as their primary tool. The number of libraries available for R and Python is pretty amazing.
TLDR: China has moved from a 170% debt to GDP ratio to a 236% ratio in six years.

> For backend web development Rails is still miles ahead of any Clojure workflow.

I feel the same way. And in my opinion, is a symptom of the "library vs framework" culture that is present in the Clojure community. While that is probably a good stance for the first 2 points in your list, in web development there are just so many already-solved-problems that you have to re-work without a framework.

Luminus looked good but seems to be shunned by the community.
Instead of rebooting, it should (in theory) be possible to use the kexec syscall to replace the kernel. I would rather just reboot for various hardware-related reasons though...

Upcoming Panel Discussion:Technology and Land Rights
Ask HN: Any suggestions on tech stack for a React focused training course?
I'm developing a training course on React intended for delivery to other developers internal to my company.

For the course learning material, I do not want to simply put together powerpoint slides. I'd like a technology selection that would allow me to author the material in markdown or html, along with the ability to embed React examples - in runnable form - directly in the material, so that I can show example React code and right next to it show the running component.

For a smaller presentation where I first introduced React to the organization I had success using reveal.js and simply embedded React code directly in the presentation. I fear though that this approach will become unwieldy with the size that I expect this curriculum to grow to. That is unless I simply break down the material into several separate reveal presentations.

I like the look and ergonomics of gitbook documentation (especially after reading the Redux docs), but alas, we cannot put company materials out on the public interwebs. And I don't think that supports executable code as content anyways.

Anyone have any suggestions on a code friendly, easy to author, approach?

That is the difference between Uber's business model and the taxi business model. The first one is always (or at least mostly) recommened as superior and the second as antique and over-regulated.

But excatly, those are the reasons why the taxi business is so over regulated. It is, that customers can rely on their past experiences and learnings. That customers does not need the have the latest information.
Your caricature of government may be pleasing, but it bears very little resemblance to reality. Government is inefficient, and often wasteful, but not because they don't care about wasting taxpayers' money. They're just (often) bad at spending it responsibly.

And public sector employees are often the first target of any politician elected on a promise of "getting rid of waste".
For me personally a centred keyboard is much more important than a separate number block. When touch typing I don't need the number block, but typing text on a left-aligned keyboard "hurts". For me it was even the criteria for having bought a 14" laptop instead of a 15" (ThinkPad). But then I have special requirements.

I can understand that for people using arrow keys a lot or entering tons of numbers the extra number block is important. I have seen several times that accountants bought external number blocks because their laptops didn't have it (and I think because in France entering numbers is extra difficult due to the AZERTY layout - you have to press SHIFT for the digits).

So it's really about ergonomy due to habits. I think the best would be if vendors would provide several keyboard options - centred, with or without trackpoint, different layouts even in non-US countries (this is something that Lenovo provides for ThinkPads and I am very happy about).

Storytelling 101: 5 Steps to Better Data Storytelling [Infographic]

That is, in practice, results from complexity theory seems to be totally neglected.

In our opinion, what happens is that software is so complex, and there are so many

clear which data structures are better; at least for the simple case we describe
here.

I have a relatively expensive Uplift desk. I've had it for about 4 months now and have 0 complaints on the $1200-ish I spent. Here's my protips:

* Get one with a motor in it. Hand cranking sounds awful.

* Get one with presets. Having to hold a button and wait for a desk to go up and down sucks.

* Get one that goes up and down -- sitting or standing all the time sucks.

* Regarding the above items, you'll probably want to move it up and down every 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.

* Just because you can build one for $4 in parts or put your laptop on a box doesn't mean you should. If it looks like you made it out of $4 in parts or is an old diaper box you probably don't actually care about your workspace.

I hear what you're saying, but for the kids who don't have active parents willing to fight these battles, they pretty much just don't do any activities. In the short term, their lives are actually arguably better. They have more time to devote to homework, fewer obligations.

Later on, their prospects for college and scholarships may not be as good, depending on what else they do. But at least in the short term, having disinterested parents sort of just means you get to have a comfortable childhood.

It's really quite sad that there is such fierce downward pressure to begin the processes of employment competition and mate selection at younger and younger ages that we end up bottomlessly compromising away our children's ability to stop and enjoy life for a few years. If the downward pressure led to more well-adjusted, gainfully employed adults who benefited from the early crucibles, then I might be somewhat OK with it. But while parents are busy with the downward pressure, society is also busy making sure the kids can only get a job in some shitty start-up where they'll be lucky to have adequate health insurance, let alone ever having enough money to afford a standard of living that we collectively view as acceptable.

Conditioned upon the inevitable shit-world that executives and political elites thrust upon us, if we really loved our kids we should probably teach them to value foosball tables and extroverted work spaces above all else. Then we'd at least prepare them for the real world.
Debt is a contract. Important questions here:

* Who owes to whom?

* In what currency?

* How could it be enforced?

If China is in debt to China in Chinese currency the Chinese state has very good leverage to handle the situation. It could even make the debt disappear.

I would second this. I grew up in a suburb, but visited the city regularly in my teens and 20's. I have a lot of friends who live in chicago now and pretty much none of them (including hard core stoners to well paid financial investors) have had any trouble with police.

I feel like half of these comments are made up on here, or they were going to a place everyone knows is a bad place.

Hell, Joliet (the suburb I grew up in) had a higher crime rate.
Seems irrelevant because like any country with a sovereign currency they can just print more money if they want to. It's a much bigger problem if you have debt and can't print your way out of it (for example Greece).

On the other hand, if we slowly move towards a world where these systems are also replaced by AI, then we will be closer.
