This happened to me recently at a contract job I had about 6 months ago during a phone call to introduce myself to the team. In the middle of my sentence, I just lost every ounce of thought and suddenly became hyper aware of my exact scenario. It was one of the more frightening things I've experienced in recent times. Thankfully, one of my coworkers killed the silence after ten seconds with a few questions.

I think the biggest problem for me is that the field I'm in, despite being in technology, seems to favor outward personality types and views social phobia as a strong weakness. Even mentioning issue feels like it has potential enormous career growth impact. The most recent job I worked for, it got to the point where I actually went to HR and talked to them about it, including the ADD/hypomania comorbids. Absolutely nothing came from it, which only furthered my thoughts on others' appreciation for mental health.

I saw a comment yesterday saying that we're going through a positive mental health phase shift now, but I'm seeing the exact opposite. I see a large amount of "othering" towards those with mental health issues. For what it's worth, a majority of the HN type personalities I've met over the years are just as guilty of this.
As did I, especially when it was a different colour. I guess that's Occam's razor vs. a criminal getting the car painted.
It doesn't seem to parse links correctly in the body of the comment, but I appreciate what works so far. It's pretty much exactly what I want, and fills one of the few missing points of Hacker News.

I don't think that's what he's advocating: he's just saying that every dependency you have is another thing you have to worry about, so why not try to limit them as much as possible? Obviously it's impractical sometimes, and that's OK, as long as you understand the consequences.

1) As Nevada has no personal income tax, workers' liability on that portion would be the same as company's - close to zero.

2) Property and local sales taxes are more likely to stay in the community, whereas the corporate taxes would be sent to Carson City and redistributed to who knows what.

3) Municipalities with strong and diverse property tax sources tend to be community-driven and citizen-oriented. Municipalities with single source of income coming from some corporate giant are incentivized to be pushovers for corporate agenda.
It seems Lucasarts' new owners at Disney are more interested in licensing out their old adventure games than Lucasarts ever was. Since "Grim Fandango Remastered" did fairly well, they're also remastering Day Of The Tentacle:

Now how do you find a business idea that will be commercially successful?
Your not going to remove the need to engage in the political process.
Ah. Thank you. Yes, that was definitely unclear to me.
Templates were a problem but not a huge one. They aren't used extensively in the webserver, and in any case they bloat compile-time moreso than link-time.

The bigger problem was that we'd adopted a dependency strategy of "lots of little libraries" instead of "one big library with lots of source files". This offloads a lot of the work from the compiler to the linker. There are various advantages of this strategy - it speeds up incremental rebuilds, it encourages you to explicitly track all your dependencies, it simplifies IWYU, it's easier to parallelize - but linker RAM usage is not one of these advantages.
Ah, I see. Yeah on @gmail I see what you're talking about. I was thinking a regex on just the username of the email to remove +word
Ekanite looks interesting, but on first look, a design that combines collection, storage and analysis rubs me the wrong way. It's at least three different things that have such different performance implications and behaviour that it's a design mistake to couple them tightly. I've been through this process many times myself.
AFAIK no multiverse theory has yet been put forth that is experimentally testable (even in theory given infinite time, energy etc.) So it's not a proper (falsifiable) scientific theory at present, merely a (in my opinion wild) conjecture.
> If you have to sign up to file a bug, the bug is going to be important to you.

This. That's the reason why bugzillas rock! Visit the GNOME bugzilla, Red Hat bugzilla and even Mozilla bugzilla for instance and have a look. Its always organized, focused and in problem-solving mode. Unlike Github issues, people don't stampede there to just say "Hi" or "How may I use this thingy?", they bring their actual problems in all seriousness (because they have to register, verify their emails and then login just for the sake of posting an issue)
I love the project categories. "Monetizing children" is a personal favorite.
No, I'm not actually suggesting that he should volunteer.

But saying "surely someone can just volunteer" is pointless in the absence of evidence that someone actually wants to volunteer. If anything the evidence points to not enough volunteer triage PMs - the OSS world is not short on projects that could use a triager.
Yeah: http://dott.doublefine.com/ (They're planning on doing Full Throttle later.)

It sticks very closely to the original art, though - at times looking like they've traced directly over the sprites.

That's a rather loaded philosophical question you are asking there - assuming you are serious about the double blind experiment.
I have a hard time thinking that anyone would would say that they don't need stuff like source control, backups, etc is a gifted developer. Sure, they might be able to sling code, but the days of that being the main part of the job, especially for someone called a CTO, are long since over.
Incidentally, though the author says this can apply to any ecosystem, finding it applies to Ruby too often is what pushed me out of developing Rails apps. At least at the time I was using it heavily, the Rails space just wasn't stable enough to trust that I wouldn't have to learn an entirely new wheel to get my work done every time I went in to fix a relatively small problem.

"Can I implement the required minimial functionality myself? Own it" is advice one gives if one can't trust the libraries one depends upon to stay healthy, performant, and applicable to your use-case. Nobody'd recommend re-implementing readline or printf; if you have some heavy-lifting mathematics to do in Python, use numpy.
It doesn't support explicit accumulator addressing mode (ASL A, LSR A, ROL A, ROR A), but otherwise quite neat. (from a quick look at it)

(also, 0x syntax is quite unusual, but I assume $ couldn't have been implemented for some reason)
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html is a good introduction for webapps written in Ruby/Rails and their countermeasures.

It's better to ask the same question on a <insert your programming language> forum or StackOverflow as most frameworks have countermeasures or configuration options included (salting password, inspecting HTTP headers, preventing SQL injection).
I'm pretty fond of Parkland and Spanaway. I went to PLU.
There was a book about "team APIs" that provided a framework for negotiating how teams will interact with each other.

Of course, I can't find the book online now. I thought it was a Microsoft Press book by Steve McConnell or Steve Maguire.
How would this apply to something like learning to play the piano or guitar? The examples given for sports training seem practical, but I'm having trouble envisioning small variations of a similar type for things like instruments. Maybe varying the size/weight of the piano keys, or fret spacing on a guitar?
"Metric
Centimeters to meters: 1000"

That, I think, is irony.
Your points are not completely unreasonable, but there is more to consider. I agree with you about wasting tax dollars on military affairs in foreign countries, but at least those expenditures are (theoretically) temporary.

Consider that many other countries, mainly in Europe, have managed to put in place a single-payer healthcare system over the last 20-30 years. In the time span of governments and the legal system, this is the blink of an eye. Again, consider statistically that eventually someone incompetent is going to be put in place running one of these systems. This happens in government, and it happens in the private sector (how many firms are in the S&P 500 from 20 years ago?). The difference in the private sector is, when failure happens, individuals are free to choose a competing option, and are not forced to continue to pay for the failing one. I'm sure you've heard the lines about how competition in free markets (truly free, not highly regulated insurance) drive down prices too.

Consider also that no benefit system has lasted longer than a generation and been successfully managed by a federal-level government. The closest we have is Social Security, which is well on it's way to bankruptcy here in the U.S.

Furthermore, the great majority of what are considered good single-payer healthcare systems have been implemented in countries with Parliamentary Style Governments. What this means is when the party in power is no longer doing it's job, the citizens or opposing party can vote them out, more or less ASAP. The difference with this and our Constitutional Style Government is that if we elect the wrong person, or they put the wrong person in charge of our healthcare, we have very little power to change the situation for 4 years. In this sense, those Parliamentary Style Governments operate closer to what an actual free-market operates, giving their Citizens much more power over who runs and manages their single-payer healthcare system than we could.

The reason we haven't tried our own version of it is, because once it is implemented, it is very, very hard to change or roll back. Furthermore, as is with all the data coming out about Obamacare, it is very hard to actually judge whether such a program is actually successful.

> as a man, you should strive to be elite in something, preferably something useful and sexually attractive. Otherwise you're just another brick in the wall.

The way you phrase this, the more probable cause would be that women don't want to marry down, hence men are motivated to be better (and they know that by being "just another brick in the wall" won't get them the partner they want").

This agrees with my observations of the world. Men don't care about accomplishments, they (we) just want a woman that is beautiful; whereas women care much more about a man's social status (warning: this is a very broad generalisation and of course doesn't hold for everybody).
I have no idea about his financial results, but his ongoing tantrum that some people don't like his books would lead most observers to believe they aren't awesome. You don't generally see successful authors mocking folks who don't like their stuff.
You make a few fair points, but at least having a mandatory "version" field for a bug report feels like a sensible requirement for any issue tracker with a large backlog covering many versions. Solving what can be done by a form validator with paid staff just doesn't sound right.

GitHub doesn't need to become jira, but just promoting the tag system to a custom field system would help.

Something like this is what we desperately need. Immutable repository SHA's we can bake into dependencies.

Though IPFS might be less of an impedance mismatch.
It will be interesting to see what's meant by "standalone." Will it be a VR Android with a VR UI? A variant of an Android TV UI? Material design with actual z-axis displacement and parallax.

It would be a good opportunity for people who would like to contribute to an open source project who might have less technical experience or time. Mozilla has many indispensable volunteers who help triage and "groom" Firefox bugs in Bugzilla. They are a huge help. :)
That's a pretty significant special case though. I'd be willing to go with the advice "If you get as big as Google's codebase, be sure to trim the dependencies on your statically-bound languages too." But you probably have a ways to go before that's an engineering concern for your project.

(... note that one could make a similar argument for more runtime-dynamic languages. I won't disagree, other than to observe that as a lone engineer, I've managed to code myself into a corner with dependencies in Rails ;) ).

We don't need unions for that (and I certainly don't want unions either).

I work as an R&D manager/software architect and I simply don't work more than 40hrs per week. It just takes some self discipline and efficiency. My CEO doesn't argue with me about it because I do my job and I do it well.

However, if your employer expects you to work more hours than you get paid for, find a different employer who actually respects your time.

At the risk of nitpicking: "Meanwhile, every female Roman voice has been lost to time."

I bring this up less to bang on some diversity card, and more that it seems very far from true? (Yes, they were a vast minority, but 'lost to time' seems quite overwrought) In terms of poetry we have Sulpicia (both of them) and then lots of miscellaneous daily writings e.g. the diary of Vibia Perpetua; and of course Lucretia and Fulvia if we're talking public figures...

And the additional quote of female homosexuality being universally abhorred also seems to be misaligned with what I was taught, but my memories of this are both fuzzier and from my days in university, so I'd be more than willing to be proven wrong. (The obvious argument in my favor is the amount the of attention garnered by the supposed lesbian (both in location and sexual practice) Sappho) My take on it was that there was as much of a distribution in terms of outlook on sexual practices as there is today, albeit very differently weighted.

That all being said, roman graffiti is _amazing_ as a view into "normal people", the article leaving out the fact that gives me a good (but immature) chuckle, that a large amount of graffiti included simply crude drawings of penises.

Have you actually tried any other music services though? Deezer for example is MUCH higher quality (noticeable even on cheap earbuds or car stereos) vs pandora and has tons of 'Mix' stations that are genre based, or any artist you choose can have a 'mix' station that's very similar to how Pandora works. I'm not saying Pandora is bad, but I've used a lot of services and I would put it far from the top. The only reason it's so popular in my opinion is because they've been able to exploit the free radio loophole for so long. Now that the rules have changed we're going to see a consolidation in the music streaming industry over the next few years; the only unknown is how quickly.
I think making a stand-alone VR headset makes a lot of sense. Dual-purpose devices don’t work out. VR is good enough for people to want to purchase a stand alone device. Or it’s not good enough, and then it doesn’t matter either way.

Also, a well made VR viewer that attaches to a phone (i.e. Gear VR) is just as big and almost as heavy as a stand alone viewer would be. So there are only marginal space savings to be made.

Making the best VR experience is not the same thing as making a mobile phone. Screens needs to be optimized differently, possibly using more than one screen. Chip cooling is a thing in VR. Faster sensors. Different appication stack. Support for positioning and control input. So many things are different from what needs to go into a phone.

Compared with desktop/console, the mobile eco-system is 10X the size and revenue and longterm this is where you want to build your product. Desktop and console VR, were the headset is attached with a cable to a big loud box, may make some sense in gaming and short term. But longer term that seems a bit silly. Look at the iPads benchmark scores - those things are already rediculously fast.
AFAIK the two Teslas frequently seen around the Factory belong to the same guy (one of the founders of the Factory). There's not that many execs at the Soundcloud office as well, from what I reckon.

If the bulk of the tax deal is "20 years free from sales tax, and 10 years free from property tax", you can emulate the first half of the deal with a variety of states whose sales tax is 0% to begin with.

Property tax would be trickier to avoid, but depending on the scope of the project deals can be found in bad parts of town where the property value is low. My guess is that the footprint they require is so enormous, they had to negotiate property tax rates. Otherwise property taxes are usually not a huge concern for manufacturing businesses (and are deductible against other liabilities).

Dealing with the community is hard. Rather than embrace the larger community to scale, they want to insulate themselves from it. Once you start thinking about how to exclude people (and that's EXACTLY what moving away from GitHub would do), the community benefit is gone.
Yes.

These points are spot on, but I also believe these are common sense things everyone knows. The issue is that its extremely difficult to detach from the digital world and many jobs require you be available at any time.

"No it doesn't"

This is true but not for the reason you cite. It would be stalking if they make a statement that will place the person in reasonable fear of harm. If they did that, in most states, it won't matter whether they are doing it as cops or not. Some states have "no lawful justification" in the text (which would protect police), but most don't.

Various states do have laws that would cover this that are not stalking (violations of various invasion of privacy, wiretapping, etc).

Most are written in the way that it will be unlawful even if they are police.

This isn't a procedural macro: Procedural macros run Rust code to transform your program, and interact with the guts of the compiler (AST, etc). That's hopefully going to change to not be compiler-version specific, etc.

This is using a system known as "macro_rules" which are a system of "expanding" -- in some ways it's a fancier version of the C preprocessor, but also resembling the Lisp/Racket macro system to some degree too.

Let's take a random little piece of that code from the post and talk about it:

macro_rules! codelen {
() => { 0 };
( $($c:expr),+ ) => { [$($c),+].len() };
}

This declares a new macro substitution rule called `codelen`.
Without going into too much depth, that's defining rules (on the left hand of the `=>`) and saying what code to expand them into, on the other side. The first replaces `()` with `{0};`, just a simple substitution. In the second rule, the `$($variable),+ is the essential construct here, letting you operate on sequences of input stuff.

It's a little hard to read -- writing your own macros in Rust is a little bit complicated and I don't think it's actually something that should be done often. You can write little DSLs with it for sure. This variety is going to stick around and will keep working. It is called macro_rules! and not just macro! to leave that name free for a future, enhanced way to write macros, though.
> Is this a "procedural" macro?

This is not a procedural macro, it's a regular-old macro.

> Does Rust specifically target writing DSLs using its macro system?

I would say that "specifically" is a bit strong, but they are one application of them, yes.

> Can we expect macros like this to continue working for a long time?

This functionality runs on Rust stable, and therefore should continue working forever.

The post you're referring to is talking about procedural macros/syntax extensions/compiler plugins, which are not stable and will see lots of change.

We also may end up with a new macro system as well, but it will not conflict with the existing macro system if we do.
