Let them know, and this is from a dude that's been doing it for some of the brightest stars in tech since the 1990's, that the money never comes. Tell them to take care of their health now.
I think he's got a point, though. Like why do I need both `setup.cfg` and `setup.py` (this one bothers me the most if `setup.cfg` contains one or two keys)? Why can't things like `.pylintrc`, `.coveragerc`, `.travis.yml`, `AUTHORS`, `CHANGELOG`, `CONTRIBUTING`, and `MANIFEST.in` go into a subfolder? I do like how e.g. flake8 just uses the `tox.ini` file for it's settings. While I can understand why `.travis.yml` makes sense to be separate, `.coveragerc` is usually like 5 lines long.

`pbr` seems like a step in the right direction. But right now, it feels a lot like Linux/BSD/Unix, where every dot file used to go into `~/`. Happily, we've started putting stuff into `~/.config/$APPNAME`, which reduces the clutter and makes backups/restoring much easier (Which you can also do with git! Something I only found out recently) So a `.config` directory in a repo would be neat.

Computer Battlegames was my first introduction to programming after finding a dog-eared copy in the local library in the late 80s.

I spent many happy minutes carefully retyping all the code into quickbasic and then spending endless hours trying to frig the c64/zx81 syntax to work.

Good times. After lunch i'm going to go back and finally get the missile game to work!
It may not be 100% good, as there is the broader question of unintended consequences, but unlike us carelessly eradicating species, this is 99.99% "good".

It's something that humanity seems to have little issue with - we have been extinguishing species for as long as we've been about, including other sapient species, so in the grand scheme of things a worm is a trifling thing.

You are however right about the logical conclusion - we will swarm, consume and eradicate until nothing remains, going by our past and ongoing actions.
There was some error in my maths on the first pass. Fuel Surcharge quoted is for a return journey. Originally I calculated Fuel Surcharge for round-trip against one-way fuel costs.

Analysis does assume flight are operating at 100% capacity, which is likely to be improbable.

Airlines can mix seating depending on 787-8. I got the figure 232 here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft
I found the branch prediction claim to be a bit weak without perfmon data to support it. The references point out that the Intel 'popcnt %r1, %r2' instruction has a false input dependency on the output variable and neither gcc nor clang seem to know about that and adjust register scheduling. This is usually caused because the chip uses the same scheduling bucket used for instructions like 'add'. So putting 'popcnt %rax, %rax' inside a tight loop will prevent that loop from being unrolled in the processor. As a result the code is highly sensitive to random changes because the compiler occasionally gets lucky and breaks the chain.
Analysis does assume flight are operating at 100% capacity, which is likely to be improbable. But here's a thought; would airlines charge higher fuel surcharges p/pax for routes with lower ave. pax:capacity?

> Many variations [he's talking about Rust] that seemed like they ought to run the same speed or faster turned out slower, often much slower. By contrast, in C++ it was surprisingly difficult to discover a way to express the same operations differently and get a different run time.

This is an insidious pitfall that may earn Rust the "slow" label, akin to what happened to Common Lisp.

Yeah, I wish he had gone through this in more detail, too.
This tool is yet another auto-rebuild-reloader for go net/http. I had been using fresh, but development of this tool got really inactive from middle of the last year. So, I decided to rewrite from the ground up, adding more flexibility by using toml configuration file, making it possible to use gb or gom to biuld binary, adding bunch of tests, and keeping code structure simple so that it will be easy to contribute.

This tool was built by just spending 5 hours of my weekend, and not really sophisticated at this stage, so pull-requests and issue reports are all very welcomed :)

Ask HN: At what forums do the cool kids hang out?
Hello everybody..

I've recently started asking questions on good old Stack Overflow that have been battered by closures due to being out of scope, not a proper question etc..

I've basically come to the realisation that I need a decent web forum to join and participate in. I am part of other forum on other topics but not for software. I participate on boards.ie and the Development section. Some great guys there but not a huge amount of "footfall" so sometimes questions don't get a great response.

I have just joined Dream In Code and going to give that a go but I'm curious to hear where people here hang.

Thanks in advance.
Ehm no not even close.
In the early 80s, when I was 5 or 6, I got Basic for Beginners and Programming Tricks and Skills (along with a couple of other Usborne books which were about video games) from my local K-Mart in rural Australia.

These books kicked off my love affair with programming, and like many of you I was writing out code without even owning a computer! I remember trying to make a computer out of cardboard and graph paper, and was disappointed that it didn't work. The fact that I could comprehend a for loop before the laws of electricity is kind of trippy.

Anyway, these books were my introduction to a lifelong love affair with programming, and I owe my entire career to them.

At the risk of sounding like a greybeard, things were very different then. If you grew up in the Internet age, it may be difficult to grok that there was a time when information was scarce, and that just carrying around books like these gave you immense understanding and potential.
How could that be?

I'm not an expert on this, but google searches yield the following prices for various medical undertakings in US Dollars:

----

MRI: ~$2.5k

Laparoscopic surgery: $2k -$5k

One day of hospital inpatient care: ~$2.2k

Heart bypass: ~$100k

3 months chemotherapy: $20k-$30k

----

I'll let you judge for yourself whether these are outrageous and crippling or not.

I'll only add that, from my limited experience here in CT, the hospital will waive most of your bill if you show financial need. I'm not sure if the state picks up the tab or if the hospital just eats the cost when this happens, but I've seen the waiving of medical fees firsthand.

I have no experience with the big expensive ones like chemo or heart bypass.
Do you know any examples?

re: project areas, all of the above :)
The only war which has been strategically won by the US after WW2 was the Cold War, and possible a tie in the Korean War. It's a f.ucking huge win, don't get me wrong, but this puts into perspective the huge US military budget which has been consumed in countless other wars with almost nothing to show for it.

And, as an anecdote, as a guy how grew up in Eastern Europe in the 1980s things like Michael Jackson's music or Coca Cola bottles had a lot more lasting effect on "winning" the Cold War for the US then the nuclear warheads from North Dakota or the Nimitz-class carriers. Too bad that know-how has not been translated into trying to "win" over the hearts and minds of the Arab people.
You've missed Paul's point I think. Even running trusted code is unlikely to work as desired (and could still have negative consequences due to what isn't included in the "sandbox") for anything other than trivial programs.
So, don't just learn to code, learn to solve problems? Well, duh. There's at least two sides to this. CS comes down to code and it's a prerequisite to computational problem solving, most of the time. Problem solving OTOH is like language, it's expected to be learned by doing. Code is the simpler, formalized of the two topics.

I'd rather have not every step of development guided by institution, just in case the methods are maybe just a little bit flawed. Maybe, just in case. Arguably, learning problem solving is a problem to be solved, so it seems almost impossible to teach, anyway.

> But there's a good chance your grandfather had the cojones to join a union to fight for better working conditions.

Sure, there's a good chance: if he was white and middle-class, a statistically decent bet on this website. But otherwise there's a better chance your grandfather was deprived of a decent job by a union, so that the union members could earn more (at the expense of the hypothetical grandfather and the employer and its customers.)

Which isn't to diminish the part about fighting for better working conditions, mind you, which was real enough... but just to point out the checkered nature of this history.

Exactly. A disabled guy collects $908 a month which is 10896 annually, with housing and food stamps it comes to $18744 annually. The difference of $7848 annually is social services to allow survival and to keep all those social service employees employed. Figure 56.7 million disabled people in the USA(0), that's a lot of cake. $445 billion on top of the disability checks. I think this would cover the cost of the program plus save a bundle on social service employment. Average social worker earns $45,000 annually(1). 649,300 social workers (1) (2014) totals $29.2 billion.

I don't believe we could eliminate all the social workers, but a substantial number of them.

I've been a business traveler for over 20 years and the average price I've paid for a coast to coast flight in the last 5 years is less than the previous 15. The perks have gone down but think about how cheap jet fuel was 20 years ago. I suspect the competition in the airline business has been less stable with the discount flyers that have started up. There has certainly been more consolidation.
You seem to argue against an imaginary strawman instead of a point I was trying to make.

Of course they do; Easyjet and Ryanair, to name two, are wildly profitable without business and first class and they don't carry cargo.
Gm makes batteries. Ford makes batteries. Everyone makes batteries.

Registrations don't cause a lot of load. They're essentially just one row in a table.

Completely agree with the pendulum hypothesis (a theory indeed already) and not letting any offense make us fall into rage and the other side of the pendulum they are claiming us to be.

Agree also in the big problem with the word 'feminism'. It seems the opposite of 'machism', and machism is bad, to claim supperiority of men over women, so many people still think feminism is claiming supperiority of women over men.
And as you say, there are soooo many variants of feminism that indeed claim that, and so many feminists (men and women) that claim it, that when I say 'of course I'm feminist' I always have to inmediately explain what I mean in case someone doesn't really know it's real meaning, coming from the context of its birth, as an oposition to machism.

And almost always, personal feelings, traumas, etc get into every discussion, deforming reason incredibly. Also prejudices about what you are trying to say (filling everything non explicitly stated with what they want to hear, you being the monster they're desiring to crunch). So you have to loose so much time stating everything about the context of what you are refering to, it's better not to even begin, as if they read you, either wouldn't understand anyway, feelings and lack of practice in logic would make them not to reason properly, or would just be the kind that doesn't really want to listen and be open to change in front of new verified data and reasonings, as all of us should, and will attack you using the lowest use a human can give to its brain, a use we have used over centuries to destroy and kill innocents (evil plots, rumours, false accusations, deformation of claims, lies, ...).

The all consuming quest to be the richest guy on the block is less important than on the coasts.

Religion plays a part? I've been to a few Midwestern states, namely Missouri, and Ohio. There's a morality they have that's missing here.

When I was there, I never felt like I was being lied to, or taken advantage of. Here, on the west coast, I'm leary of most people daily--regardless of socio-economic class. I'm not claiming the Midwest is some utopia, but it's less about the almighty Buck.

I've met a few women in my days. The only two I ever considered marrying just happened to be from the Midwest. I would have done anything for Gena at one point in time; she shot me down pretty quick. I still think about her.
People usually need to rest their palms/wrists/forearms/elbows because they are either (a) reaching their arms out forward or (b) holding their arms up with their elbows sticking out to the side. The strain on the back/shoulders/upper arms from holding the arms up for an extended period of time then forces the use of some kind of support for relief. The typical reason for either of these is too high a desk relative to the height of the chair, and a keyboard which is too far in front of the body.

If you hold your keyboard close in to your torso such that your back is straight, your shoulders are relaxed, and your upper arms hang loosely at your sides, then this is not really a problem. If you watch e.g. professional pianists or court reporters, or look at videos of secretaries from the 60s, you’ll see no palmrests/armrests in sight. However, you must also make sure to keep your wrists in a nearly straight, neutral position.

One intervention that might help is raising your chair relative to your desk. Alternately, if you have a low chair / high desk and neither is adjustable, tilting the keyboard up at the far end (e.g. by piling a book or two underneath that side) can help considerably.
Yes, that is possible. As it says in the readme file:

A process running under maybe can still do serious damage to your system because only a handful of syscalls are blocked. Currently, maybe is best thought of as an (alpha-quality) "what exactly will this command I typed myself do?" tool.
Not just that, but there's a lot of optimizations that would be nice, but we haven't implemented yet. (Though some of these will end up being more to help with compile times than runtime performance, though)

My experiences were people who deliberately tried to ask the weirdest stuff (not only sexual, even mostly not) on the first day they had access to Siri or Cortana - not because it's victimless, because it's curiosity, i.e. "How was this program primed with answers regarding topic x?"
Southwest makes money and they lack business class. Domestic routes rarely make money on biz class, and they are still profitable. Only international routes have significant biz class markups (believe me, I would pay a lot to sleep on an 11 hour flight).

You are right. But I'm not saying that only viewpoint that I believe in should be presented: both should be presented side-by-side, at least.
