> No offense but this affinity people especially from the US seem to have appears from this side like nothing more than a weird fetish driven by nothing more than fantasy

How do you figure? My grandmother sang in German to me as a child. Fantasy? Her husband defeated Germany in WW2 and his father defeated Germany in the trenches of France.

It's perhaps time that Germans got a little bit of pride, and it's ironic that to revitalize Germany (and Europe as a whole to former greatness) it would require bringing back your best and most ambitious.

Instead, as I said, I've lived in France- the people will never admit but fear being swarmed by people just as arrogant as the average European. Europe prefers the chaos and civil disruption of mideast immigration because these people are easy to look down upon and pity. Chaos is preferred over having ones mental and financial equal or superior arrive.

It doesn't matter to us, we're doing fine over here. I'm just suggesting the fix to all of Europe's problems of no birthrate and a cloudy future with none of the problems being invited with the current ethnic disruption. One would think a more desirable migrant would be preferable rather than a victim of poor circumstance.
In what way does the new Orion system change that?
Distaff side here. I loved playing with guns when I was a kid. My parents though thought they weren't suitable for girls, so they were quickly banned. So I made my own bow and arrow set, needless to say, that didn't last long in the suburbs. Then I finally got smart, and they never found about the slingshot.

And I was enlightened.
Curious, given the mission stated, what sort of technology would be your first go-to solution?
You are wrong, very wrong.

Their GPL site only had Webkit, always, this is because Webkit is GPL, and EA was legally obliged to release it.

EASTL was statically linked against Webkit, and because of GPL, they were obliged to release it too, but only the parts Webkit used, not all of it, in some parts they went to great pains to remove code and comments.

This is a true release of EASTL, having the full source, and probably it will be maintained by Paul Pedriana (the original author of EASTL, that is not at EA anymore) again.

Also it is released as BSD (instead of GPL)

EDIT: instead of downvoting me, say where my post is wrong.

I'm not GP, but I often still go there via Google searches that turn up questions, and then discover that a useful question with a great answer has been closed as off-topic to the programming forum. 90% of the time it seems like a legitimate programming question.
I often went to one of my managers to talk about how penned-in and overworked I feel at my current job in retail.

He got replaced. Now I go to my union rep to vent.

Designing good session identifiers for logging is not trivial. More importantly, with a lot of events happening in javascript, a lot of user interactions are occurring beyond the visibility of your server logs. Tracking js events is also clearly possible, but again, non trivial. I've been in more than one situation where we trusted GA more than our own logs.
Does this generalize to diversity? Friction between people of diverse background and mindset.
Yes microcode can alter the way instructions behave and it's been like this for a decade.

What worries me more is something like Nvidia's Denver architecture because that's actually a full abstraction above machine code.

As fluid as people wish it was, certain gender identities highly correlate with certain sexes. To be male sexually and female behaviorally is abnormal, statistically speaking.

This gender =/= sex is a recent concept invented by mankind.
This is the kind of argument I am criticizing; "its possible based on our vague understanding of the evolutionary background and selection that this behavior is adaptive, therefore my speculation that this behavior is genetic and the product of evolution is correct."
Orion and Dragon capsules have a pad-abort system. In the event of a malfunction, the crew capsule will jettison fast enough to escape any explosions.

The acceleration will probably knock out the astronauts and cause internal bleeding, but that's still better than immolation.

Failed re-entry is still going to be fatal, but the Dragon can theoretically recover from a failed parachute with its Draco engines.
>You ask a complex question and they ask you why you're doing it.

How is that alienating?
> I hate to break it to you. But behavior and gender is determined by genetics. Therefore gender identity is not just a social construct but a biological one as well.

I must admit my knowledge of the scientific literature around the relationship between biological sex and gender identity is limited. Have they found a genetic/epigenetic/hormonal marker that correlates with 95%+ of transgendered people yet?
I've probably spent hundreds of hours across all my configs over the years. In the old days, I'd rsync config files manually. Having frustrating times where I had to start everything over again.

I have a lot to say on the subject.

1. Like other users here, git is a great way version your files. Not just that, it handles the issue you have with keeping the configs of various systems in sync.

1b. It doesn't have to be GitHub, but understand pushing to some remote gives you a backup, and a way to keep the latest configs you have in sync across multiple machines.

2. As a rule of thumb, the more POSIX compliant you are, the more cross-compatible your dot-configs will be. In my case, a great deal of my config works superbly across Ubuntu, FreeBSD and OS X with no modification whatsoever.

3. dotfiles (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dotfiles) is very helpful for building those initial symlinks.

4. Tangentially related is PATH's. Definitely be sure you're not accidentally appending multiple one's over again or omitting ones you want to search. For this, I recommend a pathappend function like one used at http://superuser.com/a/753948.

5. As for managing vim / neovim, I'm coming to the realization the amount of time I've spent trying to configure completion / fix tiny things over the years probably makes me lose the net benefit vim has given me. Too bad there is no intellij for the CLI. In any event, I keep a vim config at https://github.com/tony/vim-config which I document extensively. It has quite a lot of bells and whistles, but lazy loads and checks the system before installing certain plugins. It should work with neovim too.

I keep my central dot-configs (along with its submodules) at https://github.com/tony/.dot-config. Its permissively licensed, so feel free to copy whatever you'd like.

Same here. I feel like StackOverflow after nearly 10 years of closing questions such as 'Which is a better framework X or Y', should be honored at /r/DesirePath.

Like at which point do they understand that maybe their desire conflicts with how most community wants to use SO as.
Interesting! Maybe this will replace GSAP in my projects if it has better performance.
Given the state of computing power, this might happen first:

Sacrifice the maze-running rat.
Stabilize its brain and scan it at high resolution.
Use an organ printer to create a duplicate of the rat brain from the scan.
Transplant the new brain into the living twin.
Put the chimera rat in the maze.
Observe the result.

A digital object identifier (DOI) is a serial code used to uniquely identify objects. The DOI system is particularly used for electronic documents such as journal articles.

lol! If only it existed in real-life, we would have definitely checked with that. :)
No.

> A complete sample is a set of objects from a parent population that includes ALL such objects that satisfy a set of well-defined selection criteria.[3] For example, a complete sample of Australian men taller than 2m would consist of a list of every Australian male taller than 2m. But it wouldn't include German males, or tall Australian females, or people shorter than 2m ...

So, the entire set of all words spoken by South Park characters, by definition, is the population of all words spoken by South Park characters.

For this to be a complete sample, it needs to be a sample out of a larger population. What is that population?
I agree. I commonly have the debate with friends who don't follow it as much. It's widely known that Google, Uber, etc want this to happen. However, the general perception that I hear is we are still 10-20 years away. My argument is ~2020 is more realistic.

Most people I talk to don't realize Google has been working on this for a decade (or more) already and the tech is actually really good. Also, safety is a common point many people mention. When I mention how unsafe human drivers are, it's interesting to see how many people never consider that angle.

I'm hoping my current car is the last one that I own. That would require the whole self-driving-Uber thing to come to fruition within next 5 years, but I'm hopeful.
I would say that the real help lies in between. You don't go out of your way to explain something that is explained somewhere else already. But, you can go out of your way to show the person where it is explained or even what to search for. Researching a problem on the internet is a skill that needs to be learned; a meta-skill, if you will. Whenever a developer has told me in the past to RTFM, aside from the rudeness of this abbreviation, it really is no help. If they gently said, "the API docs for the UIViewController class, which are located <here>, shows the function in question, and how it is used." etc.
I've got to strongly disagree with you on this. This library is a day old and there are already descriptions and examples on every public function. This is an example of the Elixir community's EXCELLENT documentation.

I'm not sure your analogy between programming languages and spoken languages supports your point. Pretty sure the best way to learn a new language involves lots of time practicing speaking. The analogy would then support trying to program as much as possible in a new language, rather than just reading books about it. Not sure if this was supposed to be a joke; I thought it was fairly well established that it's common and even encouraged for new programmers to start exploring and writing programs as soon as possible. Am I misinterpreting your comment?
It's totally false that you need an SSN to open a US bank account. An SSN is only issued to someone who is working, and there are plenty of non-working people residing legally in the US who are entitled to (and who in practice can) open bank accounts (e.g. foreign students). Also, a passport is fine as ID.
This stuff is why HN commenters are the Adolf Hitlers of the internet. Etc. Etc.

P.S. Can we get a Hacker News ignore function? Is there a chrome extension that offers that?
I asked a question on a Stack Exchange site (not SO) that was immediately reported as a duplicate. It wasn't, the duplicate wasn't even close in multiple ways, and someone else jumped in to defend the question - he was then upvoted by several people. Despite this, there is a permanent prompt to either accept that the question is a duplicate, or to edit my question and explain why it isn't.

This is nonsensical, because the reason that it isn't a duplicate is inherent in the question itself. I'm not sure how I would edit it without writing a non-sequitur. Even though I've actually accepted a correct answer, I cannot get rid of the prompt.
I've known three, and I don't have an awful lot of friends and acquaintances. I also don't go out of my way to only talk to LGBTQI folks. (I do, however, go out of my way to talk to people interested in technology and especially computer security.)
that's what they say of everything they buy for themselves too, and I've never saw a military contact that wasn't overcharged.
My approach is to answer the question and then tell them they can find the answers faster in the manual/docs.

However, the fact that she is paid the same as I am for a service that, in theory, is less valuable (due to greater danger) is fairly annoying. I expect to be more valuable for working in a way that doesn't endanger others. Ideally, I expect someone who tries to mix mustard gas in the mop bucket would be fired.

My point is, the message that keeping this lady sends is "I don't care if you do your job right". And if that's the message you wanna send, whh should I do my job right? I end up split between doing my job right on principle and knowing it'll get me nowhere.
StackOverflow is a good place for intermediates and up. IRC is a better place for beginners, but truly if people are just starting out they need a dedicated teacher, or they need a good manual / tutorial that they read front to back. Most beginners don't read the manual / tutorial front to back; they try things immediately once they've read about them and their code understandably break. In this case they need a dedicated teacher, a person they can ask uninformed questions to. StackOverflow is the wrong tool for that.
I've had questions about this for some time.

1) When you drop US citizenship and become "stateless", what happens? Are you deported from the US since you are no longer a citizen? To where?

2) Are you unable to get health insurance? A job, with no SSN?

This has fascinated me for years but I have never seen anyone write about the real world practical impacts of what happens if you become stateless.

Any links to that information?

Funny: The Perfect IT Ops World
It will happen that the rich will get richer, since they are literally paid by central banks to take their money and use it for non-cash assets, which is where their wealth is; and the poor will get poorer, since their economy is cash-based and will not benefit from any interest rate.

You'll have artificial inflation of asset values, likely not followed by salary inflation (because the whole point of negative rates is that the economy sucks), so the poor will get priced out even more.

Negative rates are really, really bad for everyone except the rich. We shouldn't try make them work, we should find new ways to avoid them.
I agree completely. A clean floor is not as valuable as a better floor cleaner.

However, basic chemical safety should be valuable--but at Kroger, it apparently isn't, and this drives me insane.

and frowns on those that might involve discussion

No, it explicitly forbids questions that involve discussion.

The point of Stack Overflow is (and to a large extent always was) to be the place for definitive answers (and their alternatives) to well-asked questions. It is not a place for discussions, ranked opinions, interesting conversations, or anything else that does not have a "right" or "best-guess" answer.

It so happens that many questions are interesting to the community of people who visit Stack Overflow, but that doesn't mean they are contextually appropriate. If you want a discussion, go elsewhere. This isn't just a "if you don't like it, leave" judgement: it's explicit in the design and mission of the site[1]. There are better places to discuss things, just not on Stack Overflow.

[1] "This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat...Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.", from http://stackoverflow.com/tour

The code uses elixirs built in doc system so you should be able to build docs after cloning the repo.

At a cursory glance it seems pretty reasonably well documented.
SO is definitely a club, and the guys who spend all day on that thing are not necessarily any more knowledgeable than others, despite their score.

In fact, many of the most impressive developers I've gotten to know, like Rich Hickey and others, have low scores on the site. You can't judge the contributors by whether or not they know what they are talking about, just whether or not they are addicted to answering questions first before anyone else. And many of them just like the power they have over other users to close and moderate things, often in an unpredictable way.

That said, many of the contributors are genuinely helpful and the site has helped me tremendously in the past. But just as many contributors are narcissistic and think they invented both chickens and eggs.
> Someone asking a question that is answered in the documentation or has been asked and answered over and over should be pointed at those sources.

I think linking them to a directly-relevant resource like an answered StackOverflow question or a specific documentation page is a totally valid way to answer the question. My impression is that the author of the article is referring to replies that simply state "Google it" without providing any useful links, search terms, etc.
The problem with this approach is you make it easier to ask the question than search the documents.

Your doing all the work, they just have to sit back and let someone else do it for them.
Which special interests are those?
Negative interest rates really aren't scary, they're just unusual in an era (since early 1980's) where inflation targeting (which is closely coupled with interest rates) of ~2% is the norm for the world's most important central banks. Here's a good overview from Bernanke (pre chairman of Fed years). [1]

In the short run, nothing will change from a day-to-day consumer perspective. Your 0.05% interest-rate saving account might drop to a 0.01% interest-rate account. If you have a lot (tens of millions) of money that you'd like to put in a liquid savings account, you might be charged a slightly negative interest rate. Some banks are already doing this with institutional investors, but I doubt it will trickle down into commercial consumer banking. [2]

Kocherlakota, an ex-fed economist whose views I respect, called for negative rates yesterday: "The FOMC needs to go negative - and that's a gigantic fiscal policy failure." I have to agree.

As he points out, low real interest rates present "an incredible opportunity" for US gov to make huge, necessary infrastructure investments. Read more here: https://sites.google.com/site/kocherlakota009/home/policy/th...

The only scary implication of negative rates comes from the fact that central banks do not want to go negative, but may be forced to. So they continue to lose control over once-powerful monetary policy tools. This is only scary if you put a lot of stock into a central bank's altruism, benevolence, and ability to effectively guide an extremely complex and intertwined economic/financial system.

In situations which usually induce anger in people on the roads, it seems more likely that any resulting behaviours resembling road rage only disadvantage the driver, if the goal is safety.

So if anything, wouldn't any sort of sufficiently global optimisation only veer the ai away from behaviours resembling road rage over time?
> 1. As a developer, I couldn't care less about making your life easier at the expense of making mine more difficult.

Great, and nobody said you had to. If someone likes your application enough and they want to get it packaged they will - personally, however, ease of packaging is something that makes or breaks whether I "like" something - which is why as much as I love Mumble I'm not putting any effort in to revive its package in Fedora, because ICE is a huge pain in the butt to build and I just don't want to waste time on it.

> 3. I couldn't care less what you won't package. Especially so if it's due to prioritizing your own needs over everyone else's. Take it or leave it.

Outside of commercial distributions this is literally how everything works. I package things that are useful to me that I hope would be useful to other people, but I don't know of many package maintainers that spend time on software they personally have no use for.

> Distributions have had too much influence over upstream projects for way too long. Thank god people are finally starting to reject their diva-like, our-way-or-the-highway attitudes.

If you don't want distributions to have so much influence over packaging your software then do it yourself, nothing makes me happier than seeing .spec files or debian/ folders inside a repository of some application I'm looking at - 99% of the work is already done outside of maybe cleaning the scripts and metadata up to meet packaging standards.

> and frankly, for things outside of the core OS/libs/compilers/tools, using deb/rpm packaging is very, very overrated.

I too at one point believed this, but then I remembered how crappy package management on Windows is as a result of this philosophy. They even HAVE a package manager (MSI/Windows Installer) that nobody uses properly! And you know what, good luck hoping all your applications have kept every dependency and every transitive dependency they bundled in up to date - when you get your package included in a distribution that's done for you by the package maintainer that is supporting your package.

> Likewise for dynamic linking.

Strongly disagree. I hope you have fun downloading update bits for every application that statically links against openssl next time some stupid bug like heartbleed comes along. I still think Google made the wrong call with Go, same goes with Mozilla and Rust.
