You really do not want to give the Immigration Department any ideas like this... :-)

In all seriousness, refugees are dying on Manus Island and Nauru already, either from suicide, lack of medical care or from violence. In my view, it's only marginally more safe in off-shore detention than it is on the very boats the facilities are meant to be stopping.
I don't have such numbers, and I'm not sure they would be relevant to this discussion.

We already know that debugging isn't the issue. ShadowChicken solves the debugging problem and other VMs could do it, too. ShadowChicken is just one possible algorithm in a much larger family of chicken algorithms.

The only way that PTCs are observable outside the debugger - beyond making you run faster and use less memory - is error.stack. Hence the challenge: find me a website that uses error.stack in such a way that PTC breaks that website. Surely if the other VMs are so against PTC on the grounds that it will break websites, they will be able to tell us about a website that broke in Safari because of PTC.

It doesn't matter that you find it frustrating. It matters that by forcing you to be concise twitter improves the reader experience.

Twitter is optimized for readers, not writers.
It wasn't really a blog though, right? Maybe it began as "a real-time blog aggregator, where blogs only have titles". I believe nowadays it's the network effect that keeps them, not the technology itself.
In the UK, both The Co-operative and John Lewis companies are cooperatives and account for over 10% of the supermarket industry. Various building societies are very similar, and the largest has 10-20% of the banking market (depending on how you measure it).
Hmm, [1] suggests 25% overhead for 30-40 stories.

Maintenance is largely irrelevant to the sales price, assuming the HOA/condo association fees aren't wildly out of line with others. Also, these should scale linearly or sub-linearly I'd think.

I still don't see an answer to why $300/ft2 (or hell, $500/ft2) construction costs are a problem when condos sell for $1k +- 50 ft2 in the north east chunk of sf. Even $500/0.70 = $714 / salable ft2. Which should make selling prices near $1k a damn attractive proposition.

The cost of land goes as

(land cost / ft2) / ((1/0.7) x (stories - 1))

so even $5k/ft2 of land cost comes out to $103 per salable ft2 on a 35 story building.

One reason there isn't significant scientific evidence is because there are way more hoops to jump through just to do the research, and even then researchers may be punished just for trying to do the research! - http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/us/politics/medical-mariju...
The Next Web's article literally starts out: "With Google+ dying a slow death...".

http://thenextweb.com/google/2016/05/16/google-just-launched...

I'm more than slightly burnt on Google, but I see a few items of promise here.

G+'s original organising conceit was Circles. These have all but disappeared in latest iterations of G+, as the complaints of critics from the first days of G+ have pretty much born out: Circles organise people but not content, they're unidirectional, those you have circled don't know where they are put. A very frequent statement early in G+, from all sorts, was "you're using Circles wrong". Which, quite frankly, should have been a massive indication of a fundamental architectural error.

Google have insisted on maintaining the regardless.

Another early observation was that G+ lacked a construct of warrens vs. plazas. There were specific areas that small groups could discuss items, but far less so for large discussions. Most of which quickly became utterly untenable.

Instead, what emerged are what I've termed "salons" -- specific hosts (Google's on Yonatan Zunger is among the better) who would come up with and foster intelligent discussion. This does mean hauling out the trash and active moderation, but when it works, it works well.

"Spaces" suggests that the new model has an intrinsic concept of, well, social space, an understanding Google have proven highly resistant to understanding. In particular, a social space is define by what it includes and excludes.

Among the spectacular failures of G+ were its immensely misguided and ill-fated mergers with Gmail (no, random asshats from public fora shouldn't populate my email autocomplete entries), and YouTube (no, my work and family contacts shouldn't know what my video watching habits are, nor do my G+ comments belong in YouTube space nor vice versa).

Google took loads of criticism for this, much from me. I have little hope of the lessons actually sticking, but I'm open to the possibility.

My concern with Spaces is that it will prove too structured, rigid, and fragmented. If it's aping another service, that would be Reddit, and it's helpful to remember that Reddit emerged as a single forum, splitting off into multiples only with time. Today, the challenge on Reddit is finding the appropriate middle ground -- a warren large enough that there's an actual conversation, but not a plaza so large that it precludes any structure from emerging.

I'd also very much like to see an open source, federated protocol, and have suggested as much myself. https://redd.it/1t21cj
i feel you. I had an accident and called the police. got arrested, jailed and beaten by guards. first they claimed i was drunk (i dont drink). i could not not stand on one leg for 30 seconds. after brethalizer showed 0 they claimed i was on drugs. got jailed for 2 nights. blood test came back negative for everything 40 days later. they retested it and found wellbutrin and xanax in my blood, my prescription meds. xanax i took 17 hours before the accident, and wellbutrin 8 hours. xanax was too low levels to confirm. they are charing me with DUI for wellbutrin now. everything to keep their story going. My reaction is to stop all the medications, i refuse to be blackmailed for my prescription meds, which dont even help me much. Feels good to be free-er. Hopefully never again.
My idea here is that the software is entirely open and self-hosted, so it's not making calls to a server you don't control. You'd still be entirely in control of your information. I don't know if that changes your opinion.
I still type in source code when I'm going through tutorials for new languages or libraries. I find I absorb it better than I'd I copied and pasted.
> Fork Bitcoin

I love it when people say this shit. Ok, I'll just go fork Bitcoin. Unless I'm not a programmer. And I sure hope that somebody else follows me into my fork. Only a group of major (powerful) market players will have the ability to threaten to fork. And even then, they probably won't, for the exact reason you stated: a fracture in the currency would kill people's confidence in the currency and tank its value.
Price of this book is steep :( $90+ for new and $70+ for used.

I hope it remains like that forever if Amazon has to give its services for cheaper and cheaper prices.

I come from India which remains one of the most poorest countries and most of the manufacturing sector remains underdeveloped thanks to Labor unions. That evil should be kept out of USA. Cities like Kolkata which were once impotant trading ports of the world is reduced to shit by union politics.

Teacher's union in USA remains the biggest reason why the public education is in bad shape. Doctor's Union aka American Medical Association remains one of the dominant reason why healthcare is expensive.

Essentially a tweet ID should be a pointer to "latest version", but with historical versions preserved and available at the same visibility level as the parent (typically public) and a small indicator would show that it has been edited and the history is available.

But all of those, "Damn I made a typo or dumb spelling (thx mobile keyboard) and yet it has been replied to or re-tweeted already"... all of that is solved by edit with visible history.

> The law is such that it is illegal to employ someone "not eligible to work", so it is really up to the employer to enforce the law.

Actually, it is illegal to employ someone without the employee and employer both completing the relevant portions of the I-9 form, which requires the employee to present to the employer certain documentation of eligibility to work.

In addition to investigations and enforcement actions stemming from information raising suspicion of a violation, the government can conduct audits (administrative inspection) of I-9 compliance, which need not be based on any suspicion.
Time to Create a Cloud Programming Language
I think this is a known issue relating to some lldb versions no longer treating unknown languages as C; which got fixed in lldb upstream but may not have been released yet.
A tad more complicated than C64 BASIC, but: http://www.templeos.org/

Terry Davis (creator) likens it to the C64, though you're writing in CPP/ASM:

"The vision for TempleOS, however, is a modern, 64-bit
Commodore 64. The C64 was a non-networked, home computer
mostly used for games. It trained my generation how to
program because it was wide open, completely hackable.
The games were not multimedia works of art, but generated
by non-artist."

>What should he have done instead?

It could have been something as simple as telling the journalists "You only have the documents because I leaked them to you therefore everything you publish is my responsibility both legally and ethically. In turn, as long as I am alive I request editorial approval of everything you publish on the subject."

>The tactic he eventually chose was less harmful than allowing the NSA to continue running wild with no effective oversight.

Like mass surveillance is less harmful than potential allowing the next 9/11? Don't you see the flaw in this logic? You can't just ignore the law because you personally think the ends justify the means. This applies equally to both sides of the debate.
The west side of the city (the Sunset and the Richmond) has little to recommend in terms of "visual character". It's also poorly connected to the rest of the city and has very poor walkability, save for the N corridor. They could just tear it all up and build mid-rises, if only they had better connections to stimulate demand.

And that is a good thing for economy in general. That is reason why American companies are able to innovate at faster rate, offshore work to cheaper countries and give better services to consumers.

Because of lack of unions companies can hire people as they need and fire when they dont need which helps more people get jobs.
That's true. Logo has functions too. But for all the innovation that has gone into making the notion of an instruction easy to learn, functions everywhere look the same. For example, why can't a function in Scratch change its shape based on the number of arguments?

When I learned programming it took me years to stop "ping-ponging" between bugs. I'd fix the most recently discovered bug, only to simultaneously break the second-most recently discovered bug. My students show the same behavior. That's a sure sign that just giving kids functions doesn't help them understand.

Your observations about the differences in learning strategies were useful, thanks.
I've tried to learn Rust twice because i think it's great idea (memory safety with C++ performance) BUT... Rust seems even more complicated than C++ for me, really i find C++11/14 a lot easier to reason about than Rust. I am not sold on functional programming also. Dangling pointers/memory leaks are problems of C and old C++ but not modern C++. I don't remember when i last seen any memory problems in modern c++ code base where ownership is encapsulated inside smart pointers. I think Rust is great and would have a lot more attention and adoption if version 1.0 would ship in 2009. I think Rust is too late into the game. That's why probably only mozilla is really using it and dropbox for really small part of their infrastructure from known players. From what i researched big part of "friends" that use Rust in production are using it because of hype? I am not sure exactly why but some of their use cases for sure not need systems programming language.
Maybe it will not end up like D which tried to solve similar problem.

EDIT: It's funny how people down vote my personal feelings about the language without any anti-argument or comment. It seems having other opinion than "Rust is GREAT" is not desirable here.
That's a fair point. It was wrong to call Pivotal a sweatshop, I've never worked there or even visited so it would not be right to call the organisation that. Actually, I didn't mean to even imply Pivotal was, I was more focussed on a very narrow point so if I gave you the impression I agreed then I apologise because it isn't the case!

I think you've already recognised the work hours aren't for everyone in your previous comment, so it sounds like Pivotal's hiring policy is pretty solid on this point. And in fact, it's not even an unreasonable expectation for everyone to come in on time, but probably a less popular one on HN judging from the downvotes you are getting.

To be honest, it's a model I prefer. In my previous workplace I worked ridiculous hours due to understaffing and a few other issues and had to resign from burn-out. I'd much prefer to work for a Pivotal than I would a company like the last one I worked for :-)

Heck, if Pivotal can get all their work done without a final crunch time, that's actually pretty amazing! I'd go so far as to say that I've never heard of a company who got this working before, so if that is the case then Pivotal are clearly doing something right.

If only you were hiring in Australia, I'd seriously consider applying :P
Microblog, but sure..
The Pyra CPU board is a separate PCB, and will probably be sold separately (as well as all the schematics released) - you could probably build around that directly.
To no one in particular, from TFA, w/r/t "luxury" housing:

"Surprisingly, given the anxiety over "luxury" apartments vs regular, non-luxurious ones, there does not appear to be any segmentation in the rental market in any year, even by unit size. In every year with more than a handful of listings, the total pool of prices is a smooth curve (except for the occasional taboo price: landlords were strangely reluctant to offer apartments for exactly $105), approximately lognormally distributed. The 95th percentile apartment always rents for about 2.2 times the price of the median apartment, and the 5th percentile apartment for about 1/2.2 of the price of the median apartment, but see below about variability in this.
"
Really cool. From the description it sounds like you just made one for yourself. I would suggest you try selling these for $500 - $2000 each. You put a lot of work into it and I think that as art these would be command some money in the market.
I agree that it messes with calling conventions.

This is a problem for AOT languages, where binary compatibility is paramount and so you cannot change the calling convention. Since tail calls don't play well with existing native conventions, they end up being hard (or sometimes even impossible) to implement.

That's not really an issue in JS or other VM-based languages. JS VMs don't make their internal calling conventions public. In JSC, our old calling convention was incompatible with PTC, so we changed our calling convention to make PTCs work.
> right-to-work

I hate that phrase so much. Crushing unions described as protecting worker rights.
> That's only ever a protection as long as your skills are valued and in high demand. Which means it's only a temporary protection, and only for a minority of the population.

What's wrong with that? If your skills are not valued or in high demand, you don't deserve any protection. Retool and equip yourself with valuable and skills that are in demand.

Should I be protected because I dug my head deep into MSDOS or APL and refused to catch up to the modern day ubiquitous Unix systems and C++?
Objective-C requires a runtime, and the Darwin kernel is not implemented in Objective-C.

I was around 7 or 9 when I first saw QBasic. I definitely wasn't afraid of text at that age. The wonder of programming isn't in how it looks - it's in what it does.
I would also add Hitachi in there as well. Not as well known in the states for the massive conglomerate that it is but they have a great corporate outlook and focus on long term goals over short term ones.
I'm surprised, I find Go's doc generator to be very rudimentary. For example, you can't find the implementations of an interface, and given that interfaces are used often I have to resort to grepping the code to see what it means.

> I want to iterate over a set. Easy, right?

yes, it is easy, `for value in &set {}`. Not sure why you went all the way down to `Cycle`

In this case I agree that perhaps rustdoc should note that a full description should be alluded to (the full description of Cycle is on the Iterator trait's docs), but it's still IMO much better than go

Not very different from the US.

It's extremely different. That 93% figure is limited to federal criminal cases. The vast majority of offenses are state and local. This same wikipedia article says, "In recent years, the conviction rate has averaged approximately 84% in Texas, 82% in California, 72% in New York, 67% in North Carolina, and 59% in Florida."

So, you're talking anywhere from (roughly) seven times as frequent acquittals to over 40 times as many.

"Not very different", you say?

I guess it will be companies tied into the yet to be established ETH ecosystem, that are seen too risky by trad VCs. That will help to kickstart the creation of some ETH companies, but still doesn't solve the general user adoption of ETH, beyond speculators.

Linus manages the kernel and should decide to include it as BFQ is just another option in a pluggable subsytem.

Any company of a decent size is generally required to use accrual accounting where expenses are booked during the quarter they're incurred not during the quarter they're paid. Paying expenses late is a cash flow management strategy only, and cannot used to change quarterly revenue/expenses for most companies, just CoH.

You're always allowed to have different books that you can write articles about and post in PR pieces or give to people, but your IRS books will almost always have to record expenses the quarter they are incurred, not the quarter they're paid unless you're really small and can use cash basis.
The cynic in me says it's not something the other person wrote/scripted either, as amusing an idea as it is.
Slack's harsh message retention limits and steep slope from free to paid surely are going to limit it's reach for many communities that a) can't persuade participants to pay £5/month and b) grow to the point that 10000 messages means almost no retention at all.

I also do the same regarding updates. More than once I've found that functionality is crippled in a newer version or it's simply is less usable so now I also avoid updating unless there's a feature I really want or as you say, it stops working altogether.
