From what I understand from reading many of your comments (riprowan, seems like you understand what you are talking about):

- Some people don't want to increase the block size
- The original whitepaper says that this is supposed to increase
- People who advocate for this have some big players trying to hinder their discussion

I don't know if I am getting this right. But does that sound about what is happening here?
I believe that 77pt77's point is that, when you're on something like LSD, you can't trust that the empirical evidence has any objective validity. Yes, you had an experience, and it seemed to you to be a profound one. You gained something that felt to you like insight. But any correlation between that and actual insight about yourself may be coincidental.
> I dislike the idea of this tool quite a bit.

> This tool may be a terrible idea, but the idea of automated prose linting is not terrible.

So which is it? The idea of the tool is prose linting, and you've now stated both that you dislike it quite a bit, and that it's not terrible.

Part of what I think you may be missing, is that it doesn't need to be an all inclusive set of generally terrible, conflicting suggestions. With code style checkers we've already mostly solved this problem, by both storing metadata regarding the source of the rules, and allowing this metadata to be referenced when making custom rulesets. Perl::Critic[1] is a good example of this. It allows you to use the default ruleset and select a severity of criticism, or it allows an organisation (or individual) to create their own custom ruleset to enforce how they want their code to look.

Keeping this in mind, what if the default ruleset was curated to have select rules from multiple sources, but allowed you to easily take a source and use its rules? For example, if I want to write using Strunk & White today, that might be as easy as a command line flag, or downloading a specifically compiled ruleset. If I want to use something else, the same. If I want to make my own custom ruleset based on rules from multiple rulesets and a few of my own thrown in, that should be possible too.

I have Hipchat (tool used internally at my company) set to no notifications at all for group chats. I get notified by 1/1 chats and I selectively enable notification for 'hot' rooms (i.e when I'm dealing with a specific problem that needs my attention now).

Wow, 300% is low for maximum markup in the US. Small clothing stores, for example, have approximately a 1000% markup. I worked at one such store, and the store only turned a profit in November and December (due to rent being so high).

I think Slack really needs to tweak their default notification settings. Before you know what you're doing you end up with an anxiety-inducing list of bolded room names after you've been away from your machine for 10 minutes.

Or maybe they shouldn't have defaults - when you join a room it should ask you how you want to be notified. Since I've set 90% of the rooms I'm in to "muted until someone @s me" I've found it to be a much better experience, but setting that up was a pain.

But Medicare cannot dictate that a provider must provide services to Medicare, so the providers are obviously finding it beneficial to do so, right? If Medicare is paying only the variable costs and not the amortized fixed costs, this is a fundamental economic problem which must be fixed to have any hope of sanity.

I've heard of how complex the condition codes are, but an individual should not need to understand that system to make financial decisions. The entire problem here is essentially one of complexity, much of it necessary but much of it unnecessarily generated as time goes on. A person has a procedure done for straightforward reasons, possible complications are enumerable, and anything more complex can be billed on prepublished hourly rates and cost-plus for materials.

Individuals can only function as economic actors when they have understanding, with the current system being an abject failure of "nobody knows" as the end result of computers fighting computers.

I am really happy that you make 420k but I guarantee you that there are plenty of developers who make more than 220k. (I make more than that and in my know plenty of folks personally who make that amount) One easy to way more money than this is to work in finance space in NYC.

Since we are talking orphan drugs that are no longer under patent, they do look like a natural monopoly to me, and there are tools in the economic toolbox to handle these. Regulated utilities show how it's done.

This is a reality of conceptual art. The _art_, in this context, resides in the implicit criticism the artists are making about the ownership of antiquities. The actual objects/files/documentation involved is more akin to the artist's materials. Something that is still poorly understood in the broader world is that a huge proportion of contemporary art isn't about making things, but about exploring and expressing ideas.

Nothing at all wrong with putting foreign workers on a lesser footing. This is America, they are Indians. They should bloody well be grateful to even be let in the country, especially what with Disney and now IBM and others.

There is ZERO shortage of qualified American workers. It's a bunk chestnut always trotted out by companies looking for slave --, er, low wage IT workers to replace the Americans to whom they sadly have zero allegiance. Microsoft is chief among these companies. They are several other large IT concerns perpetually lobby to allow more and more foreigners to enter to take American jobs. Disney is but the latest scam in this vein. As an aside, I would have NOT trained my replacement. I would have walked out the door. I have for the last almost 10 years worked for non-profits to avoid this very thing. I'm in IT, but I love it and I don't want to risk my job to foreigners because the for-profits are always looking at ways to screw over people because the shareholders demand more and more money.

Hint: the second you go public is the second you lost control of your company. There is not enough money in the world to get me to go through that. I survived UUNET being eaten by WorldCom, subsequent buyout by MCI, buyout by Verizon Business, and then the next company I ended up with was also bought out by Verizon Business. I said screw it and went non-profit. I make less, but I'm not worried about losing my job to a foreigner who has no stake in my community and is only here for the dollars.
I like the idea of using my LinkedIn page as a way to highlight interesting articles to spark conversation. I'm not aticvely recruiting at the moment (but I do use Linked In when I am), so I could see having already built a "community" of my peers on MY page would beuseful for both recruiting for my current team, and also any future job searches I embark on. Where did you come up with the tweaks for your own page? I'm curious if there is a tutorial for this, or if you just kind of stumbled on to it? I did a little search for "linkedin disable scrolling", hoping to fin a MySpace style skinning tutorial, compelte with embedded HTML, but had no such luck.
Easier is disabling your profile. You keep your contact network and but no longer appear in search results and can only be viewed by people in your network.
Very good analogy. We all know the fate of TSA keys.
This is all funny because 3 years ago it was email overload, use chat instead. Now we are up to chat overload. With no tools we have meeting overload.

A poignant and well written piece. The author didn't touch on medical advances as a positive outcome of the effort to cure HIV. Since 1981, and in no small part because of the AIDS research effort, we have a far better understanding of retroviruses, cell surface structures, immunity, the evolutionary role of viruses in forming our DNA, and many other areas.

It's small consolation to someone suffering from this disease, even someone supposedly in remission from using the latest treatments, because there are still so many complications as outlined in the article such as brain infections and dementia, premature aging and fragility, and of course the PTSD of watching your entire community die around you.

But nonetheless, their suffering has given rise to new cancer treatments and other medicines that are saving thousands of lives. Over 500,000 people die of cancer every year; a friend of mine just died yesterday after a 15 year battle with breast cancer.

I look forward to the day when these viral infections and cancerous mutations will be handled with a routine shot that restores full immunity and function. Perhaps this day can be hastened if we invested more resources into research -- $100 billion instead of $36 billion, for example. What more important work can we do, than to save millions of current and future lives?
I got side tracked over the discussion of Germany "not being amused" by this.

> and his problem with parrots

from the link:

> DON'T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for me. To acquire a parrot is a major decision: it is likely to outlive you. If you don't know how to treat the parrot, it could be emotionally scarred and spend many decades feeling frightened and unhappy. If you buy a captured wild parrot, you will promote a cruel and devastating practice, and the parrot will be emotionally scarred before you get it. Meeting that sad animal is not an agreeable surprise.

Sounds like a valid point to me, parrots really do live forever.
I get a ton of recruiter spam about positions which may or may not exist, but they pretty much never specify compensation.
FTA, they state this as "the prevailing theory", and that the scan file was stolen directly from the museum's servers or from the manufacturer of the gift-shop reproductions' servers.
Can you point me any tutorial or post that does a walk through on how to use ESENT on UWP applications?

Api.JetSetSystemParameter(instance, JET_SESID.Nil, JET_param.CircularLog, 1, null);

Api.JetInit(ref instance);

Excellent introduction from an excellent academic.
I'm not sure anyone reading Hacker News will find anything written here revelatory, but it might be good for a general audience.
Felt like someone should say this in this thread, but calling someone a "Manchesterian" offers no insight into anyone's education level, and I honestly don't even think it's something that we should be focusing corrections on. If anything, it would probably be nice if everyone started using "Manchesterian" instead of "Mancunian" because that seems a hell of a lot more clear to me ;)

Supreme Court Declines to Hear Apple’s Appeal in E-Book Pricing Case
It's not actually all that hard to find out. You apply and if you pass, you get a silly offer. It actually does happen. A year ago, I could have written the dismissive, "individual contributor engineers making that kind of money is a pipe dream" comment myself, but in the meantime I happen to have interviewed at one of the bigs and more than doubled my take-home overnight. And I was reasonably well compensated before.
patio11, I love your articles on salary negotiation and totally jive with what you're trying to do, but seven figure compensation for salaried software engineers is completely inconsistent with any evidence I've ever been able to gather. If you have actual evidence of this I'd love to see it.
It's a great stunt if someone at the museum "leaked" this. If there is a person like that working there, his/her people skills are beyond believable/demagogic...

> The drug issue in the US is mostly the fault of the government. It takes hundreds of millions of dollars and 10+ years to get FDA approval

Can you point to some jurisdictions where it does not take hundreds of millions to bring a drug to market.
I mean, sure. But this is, like, a day of work + however much testing you want to do to make sure it works right. It clearly cost a lot less than 300 million dollars.
We used this book as the source material for the cryptography course I took in the final year of my degree.

I can confirm that the content is very approachable. It even provides a great section introducing some of the core mathematics required.
But the subject of the article is younger low/middle income people in wealthy countries like Britain now getting a raw deal relative to older asset-rich people because the young people spend most of their incomes on maintaining a level of property older people paid for at much lower cost (in terms of real goods or as a proportion of income), whilst simultaneously having more of their income diverted to the older, often asset-rich people's rising-in-real-terms public pensions. Your graph of world income changes does not demonstrate that British public policies aimed at boosting house prices and transferring a greater proportion of national income to today's pensioners aren't [close to] a zero sum game stacked against the young, or that the chief beneficiaries of this increase in economic rent captured by older generations and the asset-rich in Britain are the global poor, which obviously isn't true.

It might be open to question how many young people with much less living space than previous generations actually are worse off given that thanks to economic development they'll live longer and have access to digital goods that didn't exist and more opportunity to avoid expensive housing through increased relocation opportunity than their elders did at the same age. But then again, if I wanted a graph which indicates a large fraction of people in countries like Britain who would be considered low-mid income by national standards are actually worse off, I could always use yours...

Whether or not you buy what they are selling (this is an ad for Basecamp over Slack) -- there are some great points raised that I think are worth thinking through even if you are all-in on Slack/Hipchat/etc.

I found the "one-line at a time thinking" and "announcements aren't chat" to be very elegant ways of describing some hangups I've had with group chat and I have a few very actionable changes that I hope to make in my day-to-day work life.

> I suppose this dovetails with my preference for static types with optional dynamic behaviour, and not the contrary default which seems to be your position.

I do like that in general. If I could wave a magic wand and create a language to fit my personal desires, it would be statically typed.

But when I sat down to create Wren, I had to modulate that by what I was capable of. I figured I had the time and skill to pull off a small bytecode-interpreted, embeddable dynamically typed language, I and thought there might be room in the world of languages for it to find a niche as that.

> That would be enough for a decent speedup on most programs.

I'm not currently planning to use static analysis to affect the runtime behavior since I think that would add a bunch of complexity to the VM. I was thinking more about it in terms of finding bugs and code navigation.
I completely agree. I often wonder how many geniuses there were in the ancient and medieval periods that had the potential to make amazing discoveries, but were poor uneducated peasants who had no opportunities to do anything other than farming.
Did you read the article? Because the author specifically calls out this viewpoint as, while perhaps well-intended, ignoring the fundamental reality of how tools encourage you to work. When the straightforward, socially-accepted path is distraction hell, that becomes the norm for those in it regardless of one's desired use pattern.
On a long enough curve, everything is a commodity. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are all commodity, undifferentiated work that cost time. You don't have to be your own bookkeeper to have basic bookkeeping and accounting literacy - which is something worth spending some time learning since it is the lingua franca of business. If you're a business were Sarbanes Oxley applies and you're a C-level exec, you have legal liability for the financial statements you're signing. Probably not a waste to have a cursory understanding of what you're singing and how those accounts work with one another.
By that logic, you can't know that being on LinkedIn or Facebook hasn't had negative consequences for you. Perhaps companies are googling you and finding your profiles and being turned off, too!

> Prebuilt binaries for LLVM and clang are easily accessible

Admittedly I haven't checked in a few months, however, either only one VC version (VC breaks either ABI or stdlib compatibility with almost every release) or only the release runtime (stdlib incompatible with the debug runtime) is available, I can't remember which. That's the case with most OSS C++ projects - even on Windows it's best to just build from source.

I don't remember being particularly annoyed with the build time, but then again I'm not using it for anything job related.
