C++ is an altered and extended form of C, thus I would say it is more accurate to call it a superset, rather than a subset. I'm not using precise definitions here.

And of course, but those will come in time. The point of it is that C++ isn't any safer (And actually, I would say is more risky in some aspects, because of the differences between (For example) the UB in C and C++), while Checked C is guaranteed to be safer, to a certain degree.

OnePlus 3 review: The best phone you can get for $399
I don't think suicide is inherently a much worse cause of death than many others, but it is often associated with a mental illness, outside of which the sufferer would not choose to die. Althoigh the illness manifests as free will, it is an illness nonetheless that might be treated. I don't mean to say that it is impossible for a person of sound mind to choose not to live any longer. However, given how often treatment results in improved will to live and improved quality of life, I think it would be irresponsible to assume a healthy mind without challenge and go to euthanasia as a first resort standard of care. We certainly wouldn't do that for any other presentation of symptoms.

I haven't yet replaced Python, but I really enjoyed Dart using JetBrains' WebStorm IDE for a side project.

Python maps really well to a lot of the problems that I'm tackling right now professionally, but I'm considering trying to use Java for a number of them. C# may wind up being viable for me as well; it has a chance of being a little more cross-platform with Xamarin's purchase by MS and overtures toward OSS and Linux by integrating Ubuntu.

Many, probably most, who consider suicide are not well. They may be in good physical health but poor mental health. When we have a physical ailment we (the patient) can generally understand the path to recovery, hence we don't kill ourselves when we break an arm. With mental health not only is it difficult to understand when you are in good mental condition but it is almost impossible to see the path to recovery when you are sick. In other words wanting to end your life may be a symptom of a short term illness (say someone with depression who will be better in a few months). Differentiating between people who are of completely sound mind and want to end their life and people who are suffering need treatment is not going to be full proof so it couldn't be offered in the same way as euthanasia (similar to how most countries don't practice the death penalty - it's nearly impossible to be 100% sure of something and you need to be when it comes to doing something as permanent as ending a life).

Tickerstorm.io - An algo trading platform in Java (pretty early still).

Difference from other platforms I've found: integrated machine learning phase which reuses the same data pipelines used by the algo when backtesting or trading live. Trying to reuse as many open source frameworks as possible to reduce the amount of new things a user has to learn. Based on Apache Storm, H2O machine learning, guava, Spring Framework etc. Not HF focused.

Most other platforms start off with you coding up your rules and allow you to back test those assumptions. However, this platform also incorporates the discovery phase of these rules rather than just assume you already have a set of rules.
I'm also in Romania, making about $95k/year. I'm running it through my company, an LLC (SRL in Romanian). Starting in 2016, you can classify yourself as a micro-enterprise if you make less than EUR 100k ($112k) and you pay 3% in tax if you have no employees or 1% if you employ at least 2 people (could be you and your spouse for instance - that's what I do), then an additional 5% in dividend tax if you want to get cash in your pocket and don't expense anything. An accountant will cost you about 100 EUR (probably less in your case if you have just one monthly invoice to your client).

I'm not sure why you'd want to stay below $55k, depending on where you live you may just get additional projects and outsource them yourself to a junior dev you can monitor. That would give you your two employees to qualify for the 1% tax and you could move more of your workload to the additional dev as he/she learns stuff.

Foreigners can't apply to be a citizen just because they've been here for 10 years. The US immigration system is so f*cked up and the current administration favors illegal immigrants over legal ones.

The most common pathway for those who complete their studies in the US and want to remain in the country to work is to obtain a work visa (H-1, L-1, TN, etc) under employer sponsorship. And then, some of these visas permit immigrant intent i.e. your employer can sponsor your green card even though you're technically on a temporary worker visa.

I'd love to get permanent residency and possibly citizenship. The framework in place right now is tedious and frankly, outright hostile to those of us doing everything right to remain in this country. Thankfully, I'm not from one of the countries with huge visa backlogs - I can only imagine their pain.

When I worked for the Golden Arches in the early 80's, there was a daily group of 10 retired guys who ordered coffee, rarely a danish, and sat in a couple of tables for a few hours. They bitched about the weather, about politics, about "those damn kids" and especially when the price of a cup of coffee went up. It was a ritual in their day, and they weren't some downtrodden group; these were guys who had stories of WW2 that would chill you. They built this country and never considered Mickey D's with the disdain the current generation seems to feel.
From a secular, philosophical point-of-view, part of it is the notion of informed consent. We, as a society, have decided that certain serious decisions should only be made by people we judge as possessing all their mental faculties and be given a neutral, pressure-free environment to formulate their point-of-view.

Of course, this is subjective, and vulnerable to the no-true-Scotsman fallacy: "if you have decided to commit suicide you must have not possessed all your mental faculties or felt otherwise pressured towards that outcome." Hence find it hard to accept that their choice was made in earnest. (edit: quotes)
It's not that I hate money, it's that I pledged on Kickstarter so you'd make a cool thing. You made a cool thing, I got to read about its development and watch all the update videos, and now you're releasing it to the community under MIT (or similar) license. As far as I'm concerned we're square.

I know the Kickstarter project was planned as an RPG and maybe you could have throw together a game using the engine as it stood a year ago just to call the project done, but I don't think that would have been a better outcome.

Not really, the OnePlus One came with a lot of promise but OnePlus has quickly severed ties with Cyanogen and the support for the OnePlus One somewhat died out when OnePlus switching to Oxygen (if you still have Cyanogen on the OnePlus One you can get OTA updates from Cyanogen).

You're right on all those points. The reason, which I didn't explain enough, that I'd suggest you'd look at pony, is that erlang's scheduler and calculation model are great for routers, but less great when you need to do a bunch of matrix transforms within a 120Hz frame budget. Pony compiles through LLVM and has, e.g., native integer types, so is a little closer to the standard OpenGL user sweet spot, where tons of fast math matters and everything is pretty strongly typed.

That said, if you get it working on erlang, so much the better, and good luck whichever way you go, sounds awesome!
I can't think of many worse outlets for this type of concern, or forums to deal with it. Social media is very good at connecting people initially, but it's piss poor at forging much deeper.

The problem is that everyone disagrees on what a tolerable real programming language is. Some refuse to use Python; others Ruby; others Scheme; others Lisp.

Adding to this; there is also economy of scale.

Restaurants can buy in much larger quantity and receive a discount for doing so. It is more /resource/ efficient for restaurants to make meals as they disburse labor and ingredients over many households in one day, instead of a single household's resources and labor trying to use perishable items before they expire.

The main issue that comes to my mind is of the more perishable items: greens, vegetables, fruits, and baked goods.

I can, if I like, make my own rice at home, and bring in some fish to make sushi with. By the time I factor in labor and other costs I'm not actually sure that I've come out ahead of just going somewhere. For more complex dishes I don't think I do come out ahead.

The simple dishes, like a sandwich, I would honestly like to be able to make my self, but that doesn't scale down well. A family, sharing the bread, meat, and greens, is really required to make that more economic.

It would be so much easier if there were not-for-profit (or for very limited profit) places to buy freshly made things from.

Videos will never become the majority of content I consume. My requirements to make this a reality are not going to happen any time soon.

1. Videos must contain absolutely no fluff. If the video could have been made 20 seconds long, then it must be 20 seconds long. It is unacceptable for the video to be 60 seconds long with unnecessary filler content, intros/outros, "please like and subscribe", etc. If the "moment" of your video is your child saying something funny, it had better be a 5 second video of the quote; a 5 minute video of your child playing, with something funny said at 3:45 into the video is not even remotely acceptable.

2. I only watch video if I have headphones in. I don't always have headphones in. You're going to have to invent sound isolating, in-ear implants that can be turned on and off on demand, to replace my $1500 IEMs that I have to manually insert and remove to switch between interacting with the real world vs. my device.

3. Social awkwardness. I will never be comfortable recording myself for every update, and furthermore will never have the patience to invest the time required to edit my own videos to comply with the requirements of point #1 above.

tldr; "All video" is pure bullshit. I can't see myself producing video content to share, and I do not have the patience nor the time to watch other people's overly long videos.
I strongly recommend you read the article "Diamonds are Bullshit" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5403988) before reading this. To summarize, genuine diamonds are extremely plentiful. It's just that De Beers has done an excellent job limiting the supply, to artificially drive up the price. When synthetic diamonds first came out on the market, De Beers started a succesful advertising campaign basically saying that synthetic diamonds were inferior. The most interesting part of this article is that De Beers' stranglehold on the market is starting to slip; people are realizing that synthetic diamonds are good enough. It will be extremely interesting to see their advertising campaign.

The march of technology carries on.

That's fine as long as startups don't sell you that the equity that's part of your compensation has any value. In other words, they pay you market-rate that big companies would in salary+liquid equity and/or you decide that whatever discount they offer is worth the difference in work environment.
The article always referred to the artificial diamonds as 'synthetics'. Other articles called them 'cultured' diamonds - drawing comparisons with pearls - which is a far better sounding term from a marketing perspective IMHO.

In what way? One problem seems to be that most consumers don't need super powerful computers anymore. Previously, the speed jumps were enabling you to do things you couldn't do before but now the speed increases are just making what you could do before a little snappier. We're seeing a lot more focus on miniaturisation (which does enable new use cases) and reducing power consuming as well.
Upvoted to the moon. I have been going through this for a few years now (building a game engine, no less, with a wife and young children). I can't give my kids the time I would like and I can't give my project the time I would like. It feels like being torn apart sometimes.

I don't know if this is healthy or not (would I be happier not pursuing my passion? Would I be guilt-tripping about too little time with the kids anyway, with a regular nine-to-five?) but I can't quit, it would fuck me up too much (sunk cost, shattered dreams, etc.). I might have to hit rock bottom first (or make it big, right?).

In that sense I envy and credit you for moving on - best of luck.
> the original Yubico article

Which article are you referring to here?
I agree.

If I understand the article, a similar assertion would be: "Because multiple inheritance is used so infrequently, the onus is on the designers to show that the complexity is worthwhile"

That's obviously not true, though - these things add complexity to a codebase and are best avoided until the benefits they provide outweigh the increased cognitive load necessary to deal with them when something breaks.

I would intuit that if the more complex features of a language get very little use, then that's the sign of a more mature and thoughtful developer community that emphasizes readability and simplicity.
Somewhat trusting person than I am, I can see this being an initiative borne out of genuine sympathy without sinister motive...but I can see a few potential pitfalls that, depending on how they're handled, could lead to unintended consequences.

One of the more obvious obstacles will just be noise. The ideal situation is someone who posts a clearly suicidal note late at night and a single friend sees it in time to act...this is the kind of signal that a huge network like FB can uniquely catch because of its size.

But what about all the more ambiguous situations? A friend with hundreds of FB friends has gone through a horrible breakup and other real life failures, and he starts posting notes that are potentially signs of suicidal thought...or, at least a dozen of his hundreds of friends think so, and they all flag it as suicidal. What should FB do then? At least a good number of these incidents will be false positives and people will start complaining about FB's human-backed algorithm for discerning potentially suicidal users.

The imminent danger is that someone will post notes that are suicidal in retrospect, people will flag it, and the user will commit suicide anyway. It won't be FB's fault...after all, AFAIK, they're just offering to send a friendly help screen to the user, not call the cops. But that won't be how the media or the deceased user's friends will see it, and the revelation that FB's powerful network has a human/algorithm hybrid element will be controversial in the same way that the trending news kerfluffle was. Perhaps there will be demands that FB should have done more, and that cops should be involved in the decision making...

But the seemingly inevitable decision would seem to be: why even bother waiting for humans to flag suicidal behavior? For a user who has a history of regular activity on the service, I'm sure there's a general profile they fit in terms of sentiment of messages and reduced engagement on the service, just like FB is reportedly able to tell how soon given couple might break up. Here's no reason why FB couldn't augment a profile with a hidden "depression" index to help the suicide response team triage reports...but the existence of such a calculation will undoubtedly be controversial.

And then there's the question of: if FB can calculate such a depression index, why wait for it to reach a high level before taking action? And, why should action be limited to sending an explicit anti-suicide message? Shouldn't FB be obligated to populate the user's news feed with happier messages, more reminders that they have a family, fewer reminders that their former lovers have found new lovers, etc?

And of course, for more controversy, we could always replace "suicide" with other kinds of unwanted behavior.

Our guess is that:
1) Seller convenience, you don't necessarily need to pack up a box since it's being hand-delivered. Whereas with UPS/FedEx, you'll have to put something in a box so that it doesn't get destroyed during shipping.

2) Since it's getting picked up by an individual (sometimes on bikes), it's nice to know if they're going to be handling something very fragile or sturdy.

Just our assumptions - Uber will of course have the real answer.
