Arguably these 'bargains' violate the Fifth Amendment: "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself". Yes, in a trivial enough case you could say there's no compulsion, but we're a long way from that state of things now.

I agree that it needs to be scaled back significantly if not abolished, but a lot more resources would need to be poured into the court system for that to be possible.

I have board with 2 Vega chips in my living room - 24 cores each; each a full 64-bit RISC with 32 registers and ie754 FP math, read & write barriers in hardware; inline-cache virtual calls in hardware, and transactional memory. Later chip versions had 48 and then 54 cores, and you could jam 16 chips in a cache-coherent shared memory box - with top-10 supercomputer bandwidth. But you needed 54*16 parallel working threads to use it all. :-)

In Vermont (US) it was the NRA that opposed it, and I imagine the situation was because big game hunting has long been romanticized by the rich and powerful, who basically tell their organizations to oppose it based on marginal cherry-picked issues like the keys on antique pianos.

I'm a web developer who's having a similar experience. I'll tell you something that you may or may not find heartening. My 3-paragraph cover letters aren't doing jack for getting interviews. On the other hand, clicking the "easily apply" button on indeed or wherever, assuming I'm qualified for the job, has yielded at least a phone call in 3 of the last 5 times I tried it (this month). No cover letter, just maybe two sentences about who I am and why I'm interested.

It hasn't gotten me a job yet, mind you, but phone calls are slightly more encouraging than silence.

Re "vandalism" and "being part of the community", thanks for your thoughts. I don't see myself at all as part of this community, but I do occasionally comment in it and on it. How is that possible? HN is a community of hackers and startup doers, and I once really was part of that (when I had the misfortune of being employed by a YC company); but a community is defined not just by collocation but by shared values & shared norms. Completely understandable if you'd rather I just buzzed off!

I understand the remainder of your comments, but I don't agree with them at all; to me, it is quite similar to the old bourgeois-liberal argument against antifa action, "you're just as bad as them!". In any case, it's completely understandable how & why you think that way, and I'm not interested in having a fight about it.

I will simply take the position that it is worse to arrogantly claim instant expertise than it is to (snarkily) criticize arrogance.

On the rust subreddit someone tongue-in-cheek suggested `cargo clippy | rustfix` to be used in conjunction with this tool for better rust code.

But that actually could work! Clippy has a ton of lints that make your code more idiomatic, and rustfix basically takes diagnostic output and applies suggestions (still WIP).

Clippy is geared towards making human-written unidiomatic code better, so it might not catch some silly things in this tool's output but or certainly could be extended to do that.
I fully support anti-poaching measures, but what this article doesn't discuss is the effect of a total ban on trade of existing ivory products. Old musical instruments (pipe organs, old pianos, some wind instruments) with any ivory in them (e.g. decorative inlays or the key slips on a 1000+ kg organ) cannot have their ivory parts repaired and the instrument cannot be sold under a complete trade ban, which is a shame and a waste. This came up with the US Forestry and Wildlife Service recently when they also proposed a complete ban. There are a handful of folks who recover ivory from art/antiques exactly for restoring other products without resulting in new poaching.

Edit: see this article, which was just updated today, about the effect of ivory bans on musicians and instruments http://americanorchestras.org/advocacy-government/travel-wit...

I feel confident I have the maturity/mindset for all of that, but I don't have the technical experience or breadth to confidently say "We should use this tool for this purpose". My input for "How would you select the technology this project?" would be to evaluate the available skillsets of my coworkers and pick the most appropriate framework and libraries accordingly. This might mean making an API with Rails, a front end with React, and use Google's mapping API if it was some sort of mapping application. That's about the limit of my confidence in tech decision making.

How much should we be writing tests? How much should those tests cover? What type of tests? Should we use Agile/Waterfall/etc? Do we need code reviews? Pair programming? Continuous integration? What should the deployment be like? What's the most appropriate database to use for this? How can we help ensure absolute security? What can we do to shave milliseconds from load time? How would we make ____ more distributed to handle high peak loads?

Those are all things that seem pretty relevant to being senior, and I don't have answers for them based on personal experience.

I think that as with many things, you need to follow the money:

Someone has to pay for the talented and expensive people needed to develop, maintain and extend a language/ecosystem ("community" does not == free of cost).

It isn't obvious to me what the underlying motivation would be to drive the investment required. For Swift/C#/Golang it seems to be roughly "Platform Entrenchment" or perhaps "if not this then we're owned by $otherbigco". Oracle doesn't really have a platform to entrench these days.
Tesla can be looked at as a play against battery cost and energy density, both of which have vaguely predictable trajectories:

I am always amazed by your trust in our injustice system.

I am sure that all of the filed paperwork for the plea colloquy looks proper. There was the formulaic set of things to be asked and said, and all were asked and said. The defendant knew what she had to say to avoid years in jail, and said them. On an appeal, it would all be in order, and there would be little chance of the judge being embarrassed by the result.

As for the prosecutor, so few plea bargains are ever appealed that it is in their interest to plough people through the system as efficiently as they can. If efficiency gets you 10 more convictions, one of which gets overturned, you've got 9 more under your belt than you would otherwise. And less than 10% of these convictions ever get appealed, let alone won on appeal.

Everyone here is acting in accord with their incentives. The police made an arrest based on an honest belief from chemical evidence. The prosecutor made a conviction. The judge filed all the right paperwork. The defendant got out of jail in weeks rather than the threatened years. This is all business as usual.

The result was absolutely and entirely unjust. That is ALSO business as usual.

It's too bad this is written in Haskell. I don't have anything against Haskell, it is just not as popular a language as others.[1] Any ANTLR target language would have been a solid choice.[2] This way more of the community could contribute.

You're right that it's nice in some ways to be able to reach plea agreements. To the extent the system can depend on them in order to get things done, though, that means there are incentives for suboptimal outcomes.
I'm building one.

Downvoted you for picking one sentence in the abstract that misrepresents the whole set of conclusions when taken in isolation.

HNers who are going to the comments first, please read at least the abstract to get a sense for the nuanced results. Example:

The results provide evidence of a significant bias in the killing of unarmed black Americans relative to unarmed white Americans, in that the probability of being {black, unarmed, and shot by police} is about 3.49 times the probability of being {white, unarmed, and shot by police} on average.
I'm in my second full time developer job. The first was front end only, and my current is full stack. First job was because I knew someone that moved to that company and ranted and raved advocating for them to hire me. My current job cared much less about technical aptitude and more general attitude and fit, and also pays fairly poorly (not just me, everyone). So I just sort of got lucky to some extent.

Not sure what I've succeeded at. Being willing to learn is probably the biggest attribute to doing really well at my two developer jobs (according to my past and current boss). And just generally being a polite person who's easy to work with and willing to take on tasks without complaining.
I wonder about all the customs taxes not being charged. I look at at it like every dollar they aren't pay but should is a dollar I shouldn't have to pay in taxes.

The problem is that would prevent me from utilizing my android's contact list when emailing. When someone texts me, I like to easily click the name and then click on that contact's email address, which routes me to K9.

But your suggested has md thinking that since newer androids support multi-users, I could setup a separate account on my android specifically for Facebook messenger.

That's not a good application of Ockham's razor, it's not about which explanations sound simple, and you need priors. If I gave you some data saying that telecom industry sales have been correlated to GDP for decades and suddenly telecom industry sales dropped 40%, GDP dropping 40% is really unlikely and you wouldn't guess that. 40% is huge
Its definitely slowing down a bit, but the other side is that the talent pool is growing significantly. This doesn't mean there is nothing out there. That said, it is getting much closer to looking for any typical professional job if you don't have contacts. Send out tons of resumes and eventually you'll get lucky type stuff. Sometimes doing some freelance contact work for a company is a good in for web work as well.
Just one example, the type system just does more, IMO very useful, stuff.

Richer generics. Dynamic typing is there if you want it. Type inference is great, and then coupled with anonymous types allows for some nifty tool-supported functional-style pipelined programming. (RX and Linq). Upcoming language support for tuples looks pretty sweet too.

I've used ANTLR in anger a few times and for some reason it's always left a bad taste in my mouth. I always seem to spend more time debugging how ANTLR works rather than doing the work I set out to do.

Granted most of my use cases was building a simple DSL so it might be different when talking about whole source conversion.
Shouldn't a C `int` be converted to Rust's `isize`. I think that captures the spirit better.
Ever thought of switching that up a little bit?? I've read many, many cover letters in my day and when I have a whole stack to get through, your style of cover letter gets boring fast. I know this is suboptimal and I've likely missed out on some very good people because of it, but that's just how it goes.

Why not try telling a story that shows some sort of personal interest in the organization that you're applying to? Or, try to focus on showing your enthusiasm for the position.

While you're working at changing your style, you should work on some basic mechanical things in your writing. I know that this is HN, so you likely didn't put much time into proofreading, but sentences like this one hurt me in my soul:

"The second is a few sentences saying that my experience matches the desired qualifications in the job ad, and expressing my desire to always learn new technology and improve my existing skills (because it's usually not a literal perfect match)."

Or, consider this sentence:

"I close by saying I look forward to hearing more about I can help."

Again, I understand that you likely didn't put much time into proofreading your comment, but you missed a pretty important word.

> Math is falsifiable.

Not in the sense that propositions of science are, where falsifiability refers to empirical falsification, not logical contradiction. What you are doing is called "equivocation".

> You can derive innumerable self-contradictory mathematical systems and we discard them because they are demonstrably useless.

No, we reject any set that includes self-contradictions; we may choose which self-consistent set to use in a particular domain because of empirical utility, but, to the extent there is falsification involved their, its not of the math or set of axioms, per se, but of its applicability to the problem domain.
