You're right, of course, but context makes a big difference. Those two religions have vastly different positions in the English-speaking world. And the post doesn't appear to be putting down anyone's faith, just asking a weird question. And then the submitter has a long and singular history on HN, and I mean singular literally: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=926350.

Is there a torrent for this or an online catalog?
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity. Sure, medicine and law are widely taught. Those same two groups work to ensure that it's very difficult to acquire and apply that knowledge. Getting into med school is difficult and expensive, with a license to practice even more so.

12 hours/week doesn't sound like enough time to make any money via appstore to me, as some are suggesting. It's just enough time to freelance a bit though! You can find part time freelance work without an established network pretty easily actually. I've done this successfully for web dev work several times:

1) search angellist jobs section for companies looking to hire their first iOS dev, or to have an MVP of their app made
2) contact all of them (this is a numbers game) by pitching yourself and how you have the exact skill set they need, include a portfolio, and mention your terms up front (hours per week/desired rate/no I don't work for sweat equity)

Even people looking to hire full timers are probably desperate enough to consider taking on a part timer, even as a temporary stop gap.

I prefer angellist jobs section to traditional freelance sites because you can avoid race to bottom bidding and avoid much of the competition. There are a lot of open minded people looking for high quality workers out there and are thus willing to pay a better hourly rate, but they avoid most freelancing sites and focus on full time because they don't think there is an alternative- be that alternative to them

Yeah... the clue is that an entire bureaucracy is required before even the first line of code was written. This thing probably took months and months of meetings with tons of people before the prototype was written.

Indeed, but it's a fair intro and the deeper content is linked to in the comments here.

Not changing it would have led to more off-topic objections than changing it. We see more of these articles than just about anybody, and what this one did is far down the long tail of obnoxiousness, especially for an otherwise credible source.

As DanBC has pointed out, you're making assumptions about what the law says that aren't actually valid. There are quite a few safeguards in this law - it represents a compromise position.
What would be the economic impact of a country recovering tens or hundreds of billions of dollars? It couldn't immediately actual economic productivity. Would it simply work out to reducing a country's debt obligations? Would it cause inflation? In what form is this wealth stored?

The message is perhaps a bit rude but the proposed patch is a real dick move, it would remove the warning while keeping all the contact info etc inviting users to send bug reports to upstream for this outdated version (which is what prompted him to add the warning in the first place).

Debian needs to realize that this is their problem too, often packages that are included as part of a new Debian release are already several month or even years out of date. I know Debian values stability above all but come on.
So they commit to nothing at all.
Appreciate the response. The org-mode lot can be quote passionate, as much as the proponents of 'the other' editor I mentioned...

TBH the config is not as minimalist as it could be - the autocomplete isn't necessary, nor the archive and save keymappings. Just the syntax, fold and timestamp settings would do - 5 lines? Many would have those set up already... anyway, the idea is to be editor-agnostic, even (poor) Windows 10 users could use notepad with its timestamping or Notepad++ with its folding etc.

No discouragement at all - whatever works for you. Manually typing is essentially what the calendar setup I posted 'offers'. It's typically quicker than picking from a date-box to just type 12 - TASK under the correct month. Completely with you on that front.

My main problem with org-mode and taskwarrior etc. is they are based on the premise that you will have an inordinate number of tasks to manage. Productivity does not that way lie, IMO. I am not into 'folding away' 400 tasks and brain dumping every useless thought I have. Nor am I into being forced to review dozens of time-wasting entries every week.

Being strict with my work tasks/goals/deadlines means I run a lean list - I've run too many crufty ones before to go back there. I just want the computer to automate as much as it can and to augment my wetware, not to give me more work.

Also no probs for the downvotes. The comment started with a few + but then they quickly got overruled. It happens, no big deal, I just always prefer to have both sides of a cult presented in my decision-making :)

The US Constitution has a right against self-incrimination to put a stop to forced confessions (like through torture). But revealing a password cannot possibly be a confession, because all it can do is reveal further evidence.

I suspect at some point US courts will rule that being compelled to hand over a password is not 'self incrimination' for the same reason that being compelled to let police search your property isn't. The abuses that rule was put in place to stop just wouldn't apply so interpreted the constitution in that way doesn't make much sense.

(and the UK has no equivalent rule against self incrimination ... not sure any country does actually)
This is all about violating a license/copyright law. If we were talking about a large company using GNU/copyleft code and not sharing their changes back to the community, many people in the community would be demanding the law get involved (the Thesis Wordpress theme is a great example of this..which caused anger and outright hatred about 5 years ago in the HN community).

It's really difficult for me to stand behind any community that doesn't put all licenses on an equal footing. If you want the government to stop going after you for copyright infringement, you shouldn't be then using those same tactics to go after people violating the terms of your license.

This girl, Like Aaron Swartz, is nothing but a petty thief. It's pretty easy to put up a website with stolen papers/content.

The other issue is that it takes millions of dollars to fund the research for many of these papers. With no incentive to make money on the research, companies will either stop the research, or it will go completely private and there will be no access for anyone.

Many of these online revolutionaries really seem to understand how the world actually works. If you want to change it, start a research company and actually do the research yourself.

1979 - We were hand writing Fortran out on cards, there was a two week turn around to find out if we had made any mistakes (or the operator had miss-typed the code). I have no idea where they went to be executed.

Once tax havens and double dutch schemes are unavailable to legally operating businesses, we can be very hopeful that instead of accumulating digits in a bank account, companies like Apple and Google will be forced to spend like the rest of the economy does. Spending is what's keeping the lights on generally speaking, so allowing some wealthy companies to just sit and mountains of wealth benefits nobody. Of course they need a war chest but nowhere near what they have now. Remember recent news about people being scared Apple would become a bank. And I'm only speaking of company wealth in digital numbers. Private wealth and immovables etc. should be exempt. The best is to give incentives to spend. Apple and Google could be incentivized to spend it on projects that benefit them and the public, but without exclusivity contracts of 20 years, maybe more like 5 years if needed.

Just when somebody closes the eyes and screams at the same time "I don't see anything." It was exactly on the subject: when you claim that millions of years ago the concentration was higher, we even know that the state of the Earth wasn't comparable. Not to mention that humans didn't exist.
Exactly. I used to work with a government contracting company. The simplest piece of software took many thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and compliancy.

A beginner dev could build many simple web applications in a day. However, it will probably have security holes and spaghetti code.

+1 to the other comments about having linting and CI to reduce the nitpicks and basic verification in PRs.

One technique I've used and liked is to have the PR author create a calendar invite for the review, usually with enough lead time to be reasonable, eg the following afternoon. This isn't an old-fashioned "everyone get in a conference room" code review -- you still it do it individually at your machine -- but it allocates the time.

The author puts one or two people that they would like to review as required, and the rest of the team as optional. That helps the reviewers carve out time to get it done, encourages people to RSVP as either reviewing or not, and makes for a well-understood deadline when to get your comments in by if you want to have any influence on the PR.

It's not a perfect system, but might be worth giving a try if you are having problems getting prompt sign-up for reviews.
The examples in the PDF are impressive. I especially liked the colorized Ansel Adams photos. Those colorizations are quite good but seeing them in color only highlights how much more powerful they are in B&W.
> The other issue is that it takes millions of dollars to fund the research for many of these papers. With no incentive to make money on the research, companies will either stop the research, or it will go completely private and there will be no access for anyone.

Most of the basic research being published is government funded and is conducted by universities or other academic entities, not companies. The publishing companies (Elsevier) aren't conducting any of the research; for the most part they are simply hosting manuscripts.
I really hope they name it Niburu.
There really aren't long stretches of unlimited road and frequent limit fluctuation is risky both from an accident and ticketing perspective. If you want to slow it down, keep it at 80km/h, but don't do a circus of jumping up/down.
A less pessimistic view on the future would be not a divergence of humans and AI/computers but a co-development. If we can merge we might be able to keep up.
The very concept of a nullable pointer is problematic, because it means that every dereference operation is potentially unsafe.

The only satisfactory solution is to enforce, using the type system, the rule that moved objects can't be reused. Unfortunately, C++'s type system can't express this.
There are many thousands of papers on this website. You can't tell me all of them are government funded.

Even so, it will not change the system. It will only make it more difficult to conduct research in the future.
How it can be compared to keras?
The point is that if BI people also work, BI and fixing infrastructure are not competing for resources. We can have our cake and eat it too.
That sounds unreasonable to me.

To put a different license and dump the source somewhere, you don't need to change your personal process at all.
It's a great idea, the issue is scalability. To have an aquatic farm that touches the bottom, you could only use the ocean area with depths between 20 and 200 feet. Higher than that, and you have surface turbulence. Lower than that, and there is not enough light for lots of plants or fish. That narrow range of depths is a small sliver along our coasts. An area the size of Washington state, as mentioned in the article, between 20-200 feet, (without doing the math) would probably run along the entire west coast of the U.S. (assuming you could overcome the political hurdles of coastal development).

To make it scalable, the farms must be able to function in the open ocean, regardless of depth. If he could figure that out, it would truly be an aquatic revolution.
Calling Aaron Swartz "nothing but a petty thief" is a bit too dismissive. This is not a black-and-white issue. For example, many times the millions of dollars used to fund the research were given by governments and grant organizations: public entities.
> Kepler deserves equal recognition, and he probably gets it.

Evidently not; there isn't an article arguing he is the best scientist ever.
You should do some research. Go came from a product called Cruise, which in itself came from Cruise control. Search that name and you will know which tool came first and who was behind it. (Link just in case - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CruiseControl )

Definitely not NIH. Many new tools in CI/CD space clearly acknowledge Go as the one of the first tools in the pipelines and CD area. While ConcourseCI looks good, even Jenkins 2.0 cannot compare to the first class pipelines support in Go.

This is one of the things I found most difficult/interesting as an intern.

It's really important to have the local, pre-code-review infrastructure to be able to keep developing and testing in the same direction while a code review is pending. I had very good experiences with Phabricator, which has support for "dependent diffs" so you can create further separate diffs (sort of like PRs) that build on as-yet-unreviewed diffs to avoid requests ballooning in size while awaiting review.

We pester each other incessantly on the team chat to actually do the review. We do cross-functional teams, so there's little dilution of responsibility - only 1 or 2 people are clearly qualified to review your code, and they generally do so in a timely manner.
> There is a very long list of greatest scientist ever

This makes zero sense—the word "greatest" apparently doesn't mean much.
" If your manager actually did devote 30 minutes per day one-on-one giving you their full attention"

that sounds like 3 hours worth of manager "full attention" every week.

Half a working day, week after week, with "full attention" on me. Sounds like some kind of cult ;-)

Life isn't worth living like that and I'd run for the hills ;-)

It's not really an experiment. Or if it is, it was one that was performed in 1988. Windows NT has from the start been designed to have this, multiple operating system "personalities" layered as "subsystems" over a single kernel. As someone who has been around long and seen much, you should recall the OS/2 1.x subsystem aimed at pulling in the OS/2 1.x market, the "NT Virtual DOS Machines" aimed at pulling in the DOS market, the (original) POSIX subsystem that people characterized as little more than marketing checkboxery, and so forth.

Gradually all of the subsystems, and processor architectures, fell by the wayside. The excitement for some is less that this is some fundamental architectural change in Windows NT. It isn't. It's that this is the first new thing in (desktop/laptop/server) Windows NT for a while that isn't "The customer can have any subsystem and processor architecture that he wants, as long as it is WinNN and Intel/AMD.".

It would be good to see the Interix subsystem come back, too. And maybe a second processor architecture, as well. (-:
I agree it's important to reduce code review sizes, but I try to avoid reviews that end up leaving incomplete code in production such as having individual domain changes and feature flags. If a feature is cancelled before it's completed there will be unused code checked-in - which to me is technical debt.

I prefer to split domain changes into different commits on the pull request so they can be inspected individually - eg #1 Create API, #2 Consume API with model, #3 View Logic. And for feature flags, try to figure out a possible fully implemented subset of features - eg show new model properties to the user that will in the future be editable.
I'm not saying they don't. But Galileo certainly gets too much.

I understand and sympathize with that position a lot, but it doesn't port to HN. It isn't that HN's fundamental values are different, it's that we operate under constraints.

I would be skeptical of that, but I wasn't able to find LOC/sec stats for the Go compiler(s) anywhere. If you can point me to LOC/sec performance figures, that'd be interesting.

Gradle/Maven don't do incremental compilation at the level of the file, so yes, they're gonna redo the whole thing each time. Use an IDE for that. IntelliJ will happily do incremental compilation in Java projects at the level of the individual file (and there's no relinking overhead).

I understand that you're saying the top languages are slow builders, but it's just not the case. It sounds like you've used tools which simply aren't optimised for build times and judging the language based on that. But I usually have roundtrip times between editing my code and running the recompiled program of about a second when working with Java.
Björn, nice read! Your description of the current state of accounting in Europe is very accurate. As a founder of an online accounting tool, I know a lot about the struggles you are having. The difference is: it’s my job to improve the lives of entrepreneurs and solve the problems you mention. This doesn’t make it less of a challenge though, I feel a lot of the same pain you are feeling!

The first steps for a automated accounting are already in place:

1. In Holland we are working towards a standard for exchanging invoice information based on the Universal Business Language XML standard. Both the market and the government are supporting SimplerInvoicing, the first invoices are already being exchanged at this time.

2. The European Union has introduced new regulations concerning your banking data. Within a few years, all European banks need to comply with PSD2, which means all your data should be accessible through an API. Unfortunately the banks in Holland are not very fast. Sometimes starting your own bank seems like the fastest solution to enable technical innovation, but the regulations in de European Union for starting a bank are even worse.

There are many more steps to make, but I strongly believe small startups like my own (MoneyBird) can make a change. Can’t wait to see what the future of accounting brings us!
