No, you get a link that looks like a direct link (eg https://i.imgur.com/whatever.png) but it's not (always) a direct link. This is what people are complaining about. Sending that link to people sometimes results in them getting redirected to the ad-laden imgur page.

Yeah, a lot more feasible but not less suicidal. The idea is that if miners were to band together to abuse their power and rig the system, the larger population would lose faith in Bitcoin's ability to accurately serve as an accounting mechanism, no longer value it, and Bitcoins would be worthless. Now the money the miners stole is worthless and their equipment is worthless. So it's suicidal for them to try to rig the system. They can't gain from it.
Mobile. They recently released an official app and the Imgur experience is terrible. Gifs (~%50% of the front page) take multiple clicks to play and are not pre-cached. By hosting their own images they can take control of the user experience and make their app much more pleasant to use.

My experience with it was on RHEL4.x some years ago, trying to install a bunch of stuff not from the official repos or EPEL. (I think it was Puppet, at the time.) Holy crap. It took me a week. It was more complex (or, almost equivalently, poorly documented) than the old AT&T Merlin PBX+voicemail system.

The only thing I recall offhand was the hugeness of the namespace for roles (?) and actions (?). Every time I punched a hole to allow a specific thing to happen, something else blocked the action with cryptic logs in obscure places. I felt like a blind person, trying to find their way through a maze.

Hi. Do you have a list of the bangs that don't work for you? I can forward them to be looked into.
Lots of image upload sites does this, start out good and eventually add a lot of crap to monetise.

Does it mean they cut their throat or does it mean the creator just set himself up for a life of money? Genuine question, maybe this is just a way to become rich, maybe these shitty upload sites make enough money that they simply pick this way instead of keeping it pure.

You can classify degrees by the portion of students who end up doing something directly requiring that degree. Suddenly, it becomes clear what is going on.

Your high school guidance councilor probably told you that the degree wouldn't matter much, which is correct for somebody like him. For a large portion of the population, a degree is purely signalling. It shows you are a more upper class, more able to plan ahead, more willing to show up every day, and more willing to put up with nonsense. People with these sorts of careers are fighting to out-signal each other. If we made a bachelor's degree free, they'd need a master's degree. (actually already happening, even w/o being free) If the master's degree were standard, they'd need the doctorate. The skills actually demanded require no such thing, and would've been beneath high school 80 years ago. It's an arms race, pure and simple. Individuals may benefit from getting to the top, but it does our economy no good to encourage and support this. Keeping people out of the workforce while diverting money toward funding the arms race is harmful.

On the other hand, there are degrees for which most students end up in a career that more-or-less requires the degree. Famously, it's the STEM stuff, but this also applies to nursing. We know something from the fact that students end up taking jobs which require their degree: these fields are not purely an arms race. These fields can still take more people. These fields have degrees that are of value beyond signaling. Our economy would benefit from getting more people into these fields.

Not sure about the rules in Vancouver but the link I posted above claims $1,008 in property taxes. So yea I think Vancouver is affordable.

I support development but I'm kind of okay with not too much in Marin because there's no viable and fast public transit from there to SF so adding a bunch of people there doesn't make as much sense (I could also be rationalizing a bias towards keeping Marin green and "country" since I want to eventually settle down there..)

I really support development along established rail corridors along CalTrain and BART lines. There should be ridiculously tall housing towers in cheap places like Hayward and open places like Walnut Creek and Pleasanton, if only the BART was not so damn slow and so freakishly expensive.

>> when under autopilot

I care a lot about what happens when autopilot disengages.

I truly and honestly believe it is a biological, psychological fact, that autopilot will result in less attentive occupants in the vehicle. We're going to blame "drivers" - who are really now just passengers, expected to sometimes take the wheel - for accidents caused by autopilots disengaging, because the driver "should have been in control". Except that most people are going to be mentally unable to maintain the kind of focus needed to be able to take over a failed autopilot.

Let me put it this way: I believe that today, if my mother were to cause an accident, she would have done something tangible to be deserving of being "at fault". In a future where my mother can be considered at fault for killing someone because she failed to take over an autopilot in under a second... that is not a future I want to experience.

I'm afraid of the moment we begin blaming people for loss of life caused by technology expecting us to interfere when it is innately difficult to do so.
HN is filled with people that immediately side with scumbag VCs.
I wouldn't say "the functional crowd won"—that's certainly not how I would write the code, and it's not the style that high-profile projects like Servo typically use. Rather, the author clearly prefers functional style, and Rust (like most modern languages) allows you to write in that style if you wish.
That is indeed how I meant it.
That said, Go is certainly being used as a systems language, and especially in the domain of networked services, it is rapidly replacing C/C++.

I think rather than not educating, I say there needs to be more education, for advanced topics, such as the sciences. More people ought to be doing research. Research into better tech, material sciences, bio sciences etc. A 10th grade education is not enough.
You make a good point that one solution to this problem is getting the incoming Chinese students a better English education. They obviously don't really have it before arriving, and schools want their tuition.

Schools should enroll Chinese students in English education for 3-6 months prior to the beginning of the term.
I work at an early-stage startup where we all do a bit of devops, but I end up doing most of the configuration.
I would consider medicine to be a subset of Science, and finance to be at least related to Math (with some disciplines being very heavy math.)

STEM as a whole is basically the entire top half of that chart. Even math, which you call "pretty weak", is (taking the average) as close to CS as it is to communications, and much closer to the top cluster than it is to the bottom cluster.

So I think "study STEM" is perfectly good advice, particularly given that there will be shifts in the value of various degrees based on subtle economic changes.
Unless, of course, all home cabbage farmers receive the education, thus doubling the supply of cabbage on the market, which we would expect to more or less halve the price, leading to ... a zero sum game ;)
On mobile, Imgur has the most distracting, obstructive, and bewildering modal window I've seen. I'm not being hyperbolic; it's worse than the dark patterns on Forbes.com.

I had no trouble finding people talking about using it on servers during my research. I even found people wanting it and discussing porting it for use on Linux (which is among the most ridiculous suggestions I can imagine, since Linux has an embarrassment of riches in terms of good and great package management options).

So, yes, to be clear: The dangers of Homebrew are primarily when considering it for use in a server context. I personally wouldn't use it anywhere. But, it has many good qualities that many people value highly.
The author wrote further down in the article under the heading "Performance Without Sacrifice":

>>Unfortunately, higher-level languages are often not a great fit for systems code. Systems code is often performance critical (e.g., kernels, databases), so the developer wants predictable performance, and tight control over memory allocation/de-allocation and data layout. This can be hard to achieve in higher-level languages or when using a garbage collector.
Saw this on Product Hunt before. This is a good collection of articles from high-level approach to tactical aspects of design.

My favorite is "Designing for start-ups: How to deliver the message" under Introduction.
Not entirely sure what you mean here? Even Bash can handle (some) OS signals, but I don't think anyone considers that a systems language?
I dunno, I wouldn't say this is as readable as the author mentions. To me, all of the chaining, syntax for closures, and Rust concepts like "into_iter" work to hide the actual algorithm, which is pretty simple. And forget testing, since this is all actually ONE top level call. I certainly wouldn't want to maintain code written like this in any language (and yeah, while you could make pretty much the above in C++ if you really wanted, I wouldn't write it that way.)
The syntax doesn't look all that friendly. Even with comments on every second line of the rust code I struggled to work our what it was doing.

I opened the external example he linked which has solutions in a number of languages. (https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Inverted_index) I could understand the C version of the code pretty well at a glance. Granted it was long but it looks like the intuitive way I'd write the code. I acknowledge my bias here.

I looked at some other languages on the site and both the the C# example and D example look much more readable then the rust code (and I've not used either of those languages either I think they are intended for "system" programming as well) the code as provided in those languages seemed more intuitive.

Exactly this. A typical scenario for those not familiar is often a company has historic lists a year+ old. The company has never sent regular emails and then something interesting happens and you want to inform people that signed up for news some time ago. These inactivity dates are absolutely useful for managing this type of situation.

You raised a valid point. I agree that the level of English proficiency would have an impact on the effectiveness of learning.

However my main point is that the poor command of language should not be confused with poor knowledge on the subject domain. For example, a PhD student who just arrived at US may not be able to communicate well enough in English to articulate his/her thoughts, but that by no means is an indicator that the person has poor knowledge on his main research topic.
Ugh... sourceforge.net?

Of course. This example was given to show expressiveness. For production-level code, you would break it up more so pieces can be tested individually (as pointed out in another comment).
Spacemacs is pretty complex with its own updating logic too. We really want to package it but I don't think anybody had gotten around to it then.

Just about everything else I'd like to use is packaged, so Id like to think we're over the adoption-pkg-count chicken egg problem.

Hi, I'm one of the organizers of the event, feel free to ask any questions!
In fairness to imgur, they did start off as the user friendly image upload site when compared to others such as tinypic or imageshack. At one point I remember them being the good guys.

They seem to have spent their good will in exchange for crappy auto-playing sound ads, incessant mobile-app install prompts, non-obvious URL resolving rules, and browser hijacking navigation. I don't think this was done in bad spirit, they are a growing company with investors to report to. It seems like they forgot what made them popular in the first place and makes me wonder if user experience was more of a company principle if they'd be in this predicament now.

It makes total sense that reddit would want to not only improve the image content sharing experience but also acknowledge that imgur is indeed a competitor with it's now own thriving community. It has been for a while and now reddit is treating it as such.

In retrospect this whole thing looks as inevitable as Twitter pulling the rug out from it's third party developers.
Agreed. I found myself thinking while reading it how surprising and refreshing it was that Wolfram was actually giving credit to someone other than himself.

> The combined value of just Google, Apple, and Facebook is $1.3 trillion dollars.

Well, to the extent that those three companies have employees in other cities, I'd count their market caps proportionally towards those cities. I'm not sure offhand about Apple or FB but Google has a huge office in NYC. But that still leaves the vast majority in SV.

> Also, most successful hubs are often one industry towns. Think Detroit and Houston.

Ominous and timely comparisons. One-industry towns are also way more vulnerable in the long run. NYC is actually a counterexample -- it is the industry hub for at least three industries (finance, fashion, advertising) and leads or has a strong presence in many others, and it's been that way for a long time.

> But it is also a mistake to think SV is just a "tech" hub.

If being close to other members of the industry you are "disrupting" with tech is useful, then that is a huge advantage for a city like NYC with a wide variety of industry. But maybe that's not that necessary -- maybe Tesla would not get much advantage out of being in Detroit near other automakers. If that's the case then a city like NYC does not have any special advantage there.
