> Named tuples assign meaning to each position in a tuple and allow for more readable, self-documenting code. They can be used wherever regular tuples are used, and they add the ability to access fields by name instead of position index.

They do act as immutable containers for related data. They are usually used to replace classes that don't have any behavior/methods.

They avoid confusion by having a name, and named attributes.

No, we haven't evolved past major wars, but nuclear weapons have made them impossible to win. That is something new under the sun.

That's why I don't believe in "a world without nuclear weapons" - a world without nuclear weapons is a world in which the next world war is imminent.

That said, something is going to happen in the south China sea. But no rational actor would ever start a nuclear war. That leaves cold-war style local dominance battles. Not nice, but not a major war either.

My advice would be to avoid developing large projects in Python, or any other language without static typing.

You know what? That just means you haven't shrugged his influence off. He's still casting that long shadow.

When our local genius left, I felt lost but eventually stepped up, went through his code line by line documenting it, wrote enough tests so that I could be sure that I wouldn't introduce bugs while rewriting his code to make it readable for me. I learned quite a bit from that.
Have a look at New Zealand. The current government is slashing the welfare system yet several key figures (no pun intended - PM is called Key) grew up in state housing in a welfare state. They benefitted from the system and have risen to the top of it.
Nothing prevents you from having explicit deny rules followed by explicit allow rules followed by default deny.

And if you're already doing outbound whitelisting (which is generally much more trouble than it's worth) then unless you put Facebook on the whitelist you don't need to do anything anyway.
If you refactor it later, I think it's fine. But this guy would keep cranking out code like mad and good luck keeping up with it. It was a bit insane at times.

Have you ever seen, in person, the scale of a 16 inch 50 Caliber gun? They're not field swappable. The barrel is about 67 feet long and weighs 120ish tons.
I've heard that the hit ratio of modern small-arms battle is very low. The railgun would be a much more assured strike than sending even many humans to do the job. The railgun isn't just replacing rifles, bombs, and missiles, it is replacing humans! Think of how much a wounded soldier will cost a country over the course of their life, at least if the country gives a damn about vet benefits. Of course while likely quite precise (I'd guess 10 meter CEP), it is still a very powerful weapon that could cause a lot of collateral damage. Human soldiers still have applications.

As far as I remember, they indeed are in severe money troubles. I guess they are, if they need to get pennies off affiliate links. Because, let's be honest here, how much money do they expect to make? My guess is that they will make around a couple thousands a month. What do they expect to do with that, especially at the expense of looking cheap as fuck?

Robocalls used to happen to me weekly and now monthly or less after signing up to the Do Not Call list.

What currently tortures me several times a day is certainly some sort of legal grey area, but mostly legal. I have Indian IT recruiters calling me several times a day for positions irrelevant to my job role and also in remote locations (I am US-based and it's a very large country, the US, for leisurely moving from the coasts to the Midwest). Here's why I think there's something fishy going on:

* They are 100% Indian, sometimes with limited English skills, suggesting that the US number they are calling from is just a reroute. Conversations are strained and you can tell they read from a script.

* The emails they send before they call contain a specific template that, even though they represent numerous different companies/agencies, the 'This is not spam' type disclaimer (starts with Please allow us to reiterate we chose to contact you because you had your profile online..) is IDENTICAL. The other thing that is identical is the Unsubscribe link, which takes you to the same templated page, with yet another agency name filled in.

* The positions always say, US citizens and green card holders only.

My conclusion: H1B employers are utilizing phone and email spam via Indian call centers to justify having advertised the positions in order to be able to fulfill the legal requirement. What better way than to contact someone in Boston or New York for a low paying role in Lansing, MI or Dayton, OH or whatnot.

Am I the only one?
My suggestion is you bite the bullet and realize that advertisers have basically ruined the medium of unknown voice calls.

Text messaging with or without email is easy to access online[0] and no longer required an ancient "business line" - you don't need to "integrate" it into your p.o.s. POS either. If you have fb, then there's surely no reason other than will that you can't use SMS.

This may be a very American perspective, but I utterly fail at any sympathy towards the parents that had two kids and were doing fine, then decided to have two more and are whining that someone else didn't step up to pay for them. I mean, it's not as if babies being up all night is a predictable part of having a baby or anything. The mother whines that kids shouldn't be like a mercedes, where you decide beforehand if you can afford it. But that's exactly what kids are like. And if only there where some way (algebra) to know that per-capita income would shrink with each child! Hell, you may even think the country should pay for unlimited kids, but they couldn't be bothered to check before having the 3rd and 4th child if Germany does or not. They are irresponsible parents.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. I'll honestly be surprised if it makes a perceivable dent though, the root cause of the problem being carrier route level sortation discounts.

HN maintenance cost is orders of magnitude smaller. Also it is losing money and nobody cares because this is just like a pet project for YC.

No, railguns and coilguns are different. The second paragraph at your link explains the distinction.
>Moreover, in Plan-9, many of the "good old things" were removed and a lot of incompatibility was introduced in the system with respect to the other Unixes. This prevented many different companies to even start thinking of porting their applications to Plan-9.

This is fundamentally why plan9 didn't take off. It was too different and not better enough.

Platform technology marketing is being on the right side of a nuanced dichotomy:

1. You need to be different enough to be noticed and given attention
2. And better in the eye of the user (which implies familiar)

For example, OSX was a great success among hacker types for this very reason: It was different yet familiar (Most UNIX-y stuff just worked on OSX thanks to its FreeBSD lineage).

Another example is Go: It's different enough from the previous generation of server-side languages to command attention, but its syntax was very much in the C language tradition (And it articulated its "betterness" well, such as performance gain over Python/Ruby and ease of use over C/C++/Java).

Fundamentally, Plan9 was way too different from the incumbent without any clear advantage.

I would like to ask you to please establish a new standard of NOT expecting all kind of config files in a project root directory - this is an annoying pestilence that has to stop and the Jenkins team could really help with that.

Please instead establish any kind of directory that is expected where all that project and tooling related meta files are kept, I would like to suggest a top level folder called "config" - but I really do not care, how this is called, as long as that top level config file annoyance will disappear forever.

I believe it might be acceptable to expect exactly one optional top level config file that might be called "configrc" that would contain only the path of that actual config path if this is not in a default place.

Thank you very much for your attention!

How do you sell an idea to an established company?
Maybe there's an untapped revenue source for a product that would require little to no investment from the company, and you'd like to suggest it to them while retaining credit/ownership of the idea?

As in, if I pitched an idea to a company, how do I ensure that if they use it, there's an agreed-upon payment structure and they don't just use it anyway and say fuck off?

>Reddit should look at Snapchat

I don't think Reddit should take advice from the company that has never been profitable (not that Reddit had been profitable, mind you).

And affiliate links are actually known to be profitable, there are countless of sites that exist solely off affiliate links.

Rift has two major advantages that made me choose it:

1. Doesn't require to hang stuff on walls, a single sensor beside the monitor is enough. For me dedicating a room to VR is out of the question.

2. It has built in headphones. Yes they look "cheap" on pictures, but when you actually use a VR headset that goes on and off a lot you appreciate the convenience. Sound is also VERY good in them.

I don't get the blind Facebook hate and Steam fanboyism. Remember Steam is a 35% taking monopoly on PC gaming. If anything that monopoly needs to be dealt with.

Why funny? Do you want to make a case against this or did you just want to inject what could be read as a derogatory comment into the conversation? Also, facts? figures?
The real crisis is that people are NOT willing to create new software. And I don't mean the "bag of libraries" that much of software seems to be.
A good solution to this is cellphone apps such as "TrueCaller" (not-affiliated to them, just a good app.). People that have opted-in automatically have their their phonebooks uploaded to the central server. So, for example, if your business were to call me and I mark it as "Business ABC" then all other users of the app that get a call from you would immediately know it's from "Business ABC" despite you never having called them.

It's worked so nicely since I got it, I'm surprised we ever did without it. I think it also auto-disconnects calls from numbers that a sufficient-amount of people have flagged as spam.

The only problem it doesn't solve is when a business decides to do it's surveys/telemarketing through the same number it attempts to contact clients on. This is especially rife with SMS spam, where they use the same number to SMS you valid "updates" that they use to send promotions/ads and other spam.
I don't have any concrete examples, so this answer likely won't satisfy you.

Also, I must mention that dang has been significantly more fair the past year or so. It's been a long while since I've really noticed any of the issues I'm about to list.

From least to most concerning:

1. A couple of years ago, dang would regularly wade into gender arguments. And he'd apologize publicly and profusely to women who had unspecific complaints about Hacker News making them feel "unsafe", assuring those women that he felt their pain and would fix the problem.

2. Rules about tone were enforced unevenly. (Again, to be clear, they're now enforced far more fairly.)

Cruel, over-the-top, mean-spirited, Shanley-style [1] derogatory posts from feminist activists would routinely be allowed to stand. People would respond asking why this tone was being allowed on HN, and others would respond with "it's oppressive to tone-police women in tech". Despite all the attention drawn to these posts, they would not be moderated.

At the same time, the slightest acerbic replies against feminist activism were either "deaded" or publicly admonished by dang.

3. This last point is the most difficult to prove, but regular lurkers will know exactly what I'm talking about. Flags were enforced unevenly—they were used as an excuse to minimize community exposure to posts that disagreed with dang's politics.

When a controversial submission that ran counter to the feminist narrative quickly disappeared off the front page despite hundreds of comments, people would complain in the thread (because where else would they complain?). He'd respond, "Hey, this submission received a lot of flags. This wasn't my decision. I'm not closing this thread, so you can continue discussion. But I'm listening to the community by taking it off the front page."

However, controversial submissions that promoted the feminist narrative would often stay up for hours. Those posts undoubtably received tons of flags, too. When people would complain, dang would explain that he would disregard flags for controversial posts if they generated important conversations.

Because the energy grows with the velocity squared, it's more like a quarter of the heat of a typical orbital re-entry.

No, the drag force grows with the square of velocity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)#Drag_at_high_ve...

Force * distance / time = power, so the heating will scale with the velocity cubed. Therefore at 1/2 the speed, it would experience 1/8 the heating.

One of the cases was banning of michaelochurch ( https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/ ), who was heavily criticizing YC, Paul Graham, and VCs in general and was relatively popular, banned for swearing or something like that. While many of his posts are extremely negative, some of them have ideas worth considering.
Used to read salon, slate, and national review regularly.

As I became more disgusted in politics, and it began dumbing itself down (fox/msnbc/facebook) more and more over the years, I no longer look at them. Seems to be a waste of time, like watching a soap opera, with very little to learn.
If you say something that could be labelled as conservative (something racist, or something about family values vs. homosexuality, or mentioning men and women are not equal in some way, etc) your comment will be killed by dang himself, and he'll say you're being inflammatory.

It's funny how this creates an echo chamber where nobody in real life is racist, or where you believe yourself that something remotely racist is wrong.
If it had 8300 horizontal, and 4200 vertical, the total speed would be the hyponetuse of a triangle made by those, not the sum. sqrt(4200^2 + 8300^2) gives me 9,302 kph, which is a bit more than a third of 26000 (.3578). That squared gives you a bit more than an eighth (.1280) of the heat.

and thats not including the fact that someone else pointed out that it would go with velocity cubed.
Yeah. The compatability problem, or why Windows is still crazy after all these years. Build it close to right the first time: the world won't give you a second chance.

I really like Plan9's ideas, but its community gravitates to catv.org, which is full of assholes who believe that if it hasn't been blessed by Murray Hill, it has no merit, no matter what the real world has to say.

I share your experience. Small decoupled modules developed with TDD has turned out great at our project. That's not to say that we haven't had major refactorings, but they have been painless because of the confidence provided by a proper test suite.
I grew up in Quebec, speaking English, but can still hear my friends with their "maudit tabarnak" and "sacre bleu".
I stopped reading after their horrific redesign a while back (it has since gone through some other mediocre rework). It was so hamfisted and mirrored the decay of content.

Back in the early days I read Salon regularly. It was such a huge disappointment when things went off the rails.
Studies show that the rate of single motherhood increases dramatically with rises in welfare. It's no surprise to anyone whose eyes are open that people are generally rational, and act to further their own interests.

It's morally abhorrent that it's accepted practice that people vote for politicians that promise them money taxed from others. Social democracy is simply authoritarianism.
> Living out in the country in a small village will enable you to stretch your welfare checks compared to living in Munich, where most things and most people around you are much more.

I'd qualify that by saying to pick a small or mid-sized city over an actual village. Public transport is much better in cities than in rural areas and you are more likely to have stores in walkable or bikable distance, so you're either adding the cost of a car to your living expenses or reducing your quality of life and options for the future significantly by living in a village.
I agree that E-Prime is interesting and so is Korzybski and all that, but novelty accounts and single-purpose accounts aren't allowed on HN, so we've banned this one.

The threads are supposed to be conversations, and such accounts make them less so. For good conversation, people need to feel that they're communicating in good faith with other individuals. Anonymity is fine on HN but there needs to still be a person, not an abstraction, at the other end.
Even though Digg was on decline, it was still bigger than reddit. It could've still been a significant site today, or at least something like Slashdot. The day v4 was released, it singlehandedly killed Digg. It was a bloodbath never seen before, or since.

Reddit should look at Snapchat: today they have a Nike filter live. This is smart monetization and gives more bucks than this affiliate hack.

Well my original plan was that the default build instructions would be in a README.md file in the root of the source control as a verbatim block in the highest level heading containing the word "build"

If you needed any additional configuration for Jenkins specific instructions then that would be in a folder called ".jenkins"

Sadly, people did not embrace that project type... perhaps because it was given the nerdy name "literate" by a colleague of mine (who's name rhymes with Nichale Meale)
