I have no idea, maybe?

I know that I've lived on the other side of it - growing up working poor, basically homeless from ages 9-11 and then gritting through over a decade of eating shit in the military. Seeing combat helps put things in perspective to the immediate now, but that only goes so far as you just realize that there are amazing people that have had lives "cut short" unnecessarily and that there was no real purpose to it.
Loads fast, looks nice, responsive to zooming, clear and obvious what it is, and the designs showcased look great too. Since it's HN there should be some complaint, and the only one I have is that the "my story" page has an unnecessary fixed header that consumes vertical space. But generally, I approve!

Unless the reader clicks the link to your story page, there's almost nothing about you personally or specific details about you as a working professional. It could just be that the "About Yitong" blurb at the bottom is kind of generic blah blah "design is amazing" stuff (sorry). If you're actively looking to get hired for projects, I think that text should be something more like "get in touch if you X, Y, or Z; I work remotely or on-site in SF; I can do A, B, and C" or whatever, something that clarifies your situation and availability.

You would prefer PHP[1] where the standard library has no namespaces?

Ah, you misunderstood.

When I said blow things up and make things public, I meant make all my communications with management and the company very out in the open, CC everybody.

That way, if they do fire you for cause, you have a paper trail, and you tend to keep a lid on their worst tendencies because then they have to justify their words/actions to their own employees.

No, you never escalate publicly, not to people outside the company. As long as everybody is CCed while the conversation is going on, they don't have a leg to stand on, since everything is factual.

I didn't like that. It wasn't foreshadowed, it was a clear example of retcon.

The last Earthsea books are a bit to the first three what the prequels are to Star Wars. They're the author being ashamed of their earlier work, and radically reinterpreting it.

Of course, Ursula Le Guin is a much better writer than George Lucas is a director, so the later books are not exactly bad. But they do retcon on the universe and the message.

The first three Earthsea books were heavy with Taoism, which is of course heavily gender essentialist. So it was a lot about gender roles, but in a complex way. The main character Ged is a celibate man, balancing between "doing" (yang) and "being" (yin). I liked it. I think she managed to take a pretty sexist world-view (Taoism) and make it more human, sympathetic - and balanced, ironically enough.

But in the latter books, she apparently didn't think she had been feminist enough. The villains are all men. The victims are all women. Ged now stabs a guy with a pitchfork to save a woman, stops being celibate (with the woman he saved...), I mean, come on. I think it went the wrong way entirely when it came to gender roles.

"Classical" states (a single dot on the screen instead of an interference pattern) are created through the measurement process, which involves entanglement and dephasing: The small quantum system (the electron) first becomes entangled with the macroscopic system (the photo film and everything coupled to it), then the phase coherence between the individual eigenvectors of the electron gets lost due to the coupling with a large number of degrees of freedom in the measurement system.

> Limiting the profession to those who started naturally at a young age is a good way to keep out everyone but rich mostly-white kids with college-educated parents.

Counter-example: I started coding at 9, got my first at-home family computer 3 years later, and my parents graduated college when I was already in college. This was back when a PC cost more than my parents made in 2 months. Now laptops can be got for $300.

It's not about rich, it's about having coding after-school classes as available as soccer (or whatever) practice.
I expect that it is tantalizing for the same reason as the "Wow!" signal:

"First, ["Wow!" signal] did appear to be an artificial radio signal, rather than a natural radio emission such as a pulsar or quasar. The Big Ear telescope used a receiver with 50 radio channels; the signal was only heard on one frequency, with no other noise on any of the other channels. A natural emission would cause static to appear on all of the frequencies, and this was not the case. The signal was narrow and focused, as would be expected from an artificial source."

"The signal also “rose and fell” during the 72 seconds, as would be expected from something originating in space. When the radio telescope is pointed at the sky, any such signal will appear to increase in intensity as it first moves across the observational beam of the telescope, then peak when the telescope is pointed straight at it and then decrease as it moves away from the telescope. This also makes a mere computer glitch a less likely explanation, although not impossible."

So does proofreading.
I remember reading a couple years ago about a company where the CEO came in and announced that they weren't going to be able to make payroll so he was going to have to lay everybody off; some of the employees left, but others stuck around working "for free", and the company turned around within a few months. A couple years later they exited and the CEO gave large gifts to the employees who stuck around because they didn't own any stock but he knew that the company would have failed if they had left when he couldn't make payroll.

But that was a case of a CEO who was honest with the employees about the state of the company; I don't know of any cases where a company succeeded after a CEO lied about failing to make payroll.

NumPy certainly does not have anything like "Fortran kernels".

Elementwise arithmetic is coded in C (and not very fast...). Linear algebra uses the BLAS and LAPACK interfaces, of these only LAPACK is usually written in Fortran these days... but anyway, a Fortran matrix is a C transposed matrix and vice versa and these interfaces all support transpose as an argument, so there is no need for reordering. And if you do np.dot(A.T, A) there is no reordering either, just a change of flags to DGEMM.

That's because all of our tech was based off the roswell crash, that's the hand wavy way of explaining the compatibility. That and a telepathic species can afford to be complacent on internal security.

I don't understand how anyone can assume that antialiasing is missing in Tk, it's simply wrong and has been there for many years for font drawing. On Linux, it must be compiled against fontconfig/xft (default, if the headers can be found). On OSX and Windows, it uses the native font renderer. The only point on OSX high dpi displays: you need to set a property that the application supports high dpi (in a .plist file), but this holds for any App-bundle on OSX. Antialiasing on a canvas (as opposed to text in labels, buttons etc.) is only enabled in OSX by default. tkpath replaces the default canvas with a more complete implementation (alpha blending, gradients, antialiasing...) on all 3 platforms.

Try getting good at something you're bad at, like, for example, appreciating your life and the lives of those around you. "Yawning void of nothing" is a pretty hilariously inaccurate description of a family and all the life experiences you describe.

I would experiment with the hypothesis that perceiving value and experiencing it as such are skills you lack but others possess, that may be improved through deliberate practice.

In a finite physical universe, nothing has intrinsic meaning. The only meaning anything has, is the meaning that you attribute to that thing. Thus, anything that is meaningful to you, is the most meaningful thing in the universe.

No goal is better than any other, because there is no universally defined "better", everything just "is". Therefore, you are free to say that the goal you have chosen is better than any other, and you would be correct, because just by choosing it, you have changed the balance.

It's just a photon wave interacting with electron wave that's wrapped around nucleus, exchanging portion of energy and momentum and reshaping electron wave (unwrapping it). Nowhere the is actual need for bouncing balls. Just part of this process is governed by bouncing balls equations and since we had Newton and Bohr earlier we'd rather think about it as bouncing balls behaving bit strangely than waves obeying some of bouncing balls laws.
I would have thought that selling vs renting are two different situations. Different enought to warrant a different approach for each of them.
Can't tell if you excluded startups where the founder had a previous successful startup (solo or otherwise) but it doesn't look like it?

I think this would massively distort your results. Founders with a history of success are vastly more likely to succeed in a new venture for numerous reasons, but most people who are interested in these stats (both founders and investors) are interested in the pre-big-win founder case.

Also, I suspect far more 'startups' have a single founder, purely because it's so incredibly easy to 'start' something alone. Having a cofounder implies a certain level of organization and commitment - it doesn't really work with that pet project you dabble with occasionally. If solo dabblers far outnumber 'team' dabblers then you'd expect them to be over represented in successes even if their success rate was much lower.
Yup, Engineers use science, craftsmen use intuition.

Great article. This makes a few assumptions about the future, but I can really see the potential here for media in cars that the author is getting at:

- Once the driver is no longer driving, they're going to pretty bored

- As the need for windows becomes less important, this area can be used for displays instead

- These lead to the potential for passengers to do something else with their time, such as watching videos, doing work, playing games, etc. like they would on a flight

- It's likely consumers may expect this experience without it coming from the data of their smartphones (less setup, better connectivity, not dependent on a phone)

- The new media systems and potential data subscriptions opens the door for lots of new revenue streams

That's the problem I have with people praising Zen of Python as if it means anything. It's like a bible you just pick the verse you like to justify your action even if it might conflict with other rules. Then you praise the whole thing for being so wise.
>>> It has NOTHING to do with the user experience of the product, nothing to do with the quality of the tech.

Good UX is a bonus, can be useful for growth, competing with other products once the content is on a similar level, etc. However, yes, the content is the key, yes. People come for the content, not for some extra feature (and extra features often affect only a small percentage of the users).
> Firefox is shipping Rust code right now.

It is, and that is cool. That said, what it's shipping is essentially a separate library written in Rust that exposes a C API for parsing mp4s - it replaced one libraries usage with another, with a presumably sable API consisting of nothing but C struct's and C functions. Perhaps a key to point out is that it doesn't actually interface with Firefox very much at all - it isn't capable of accessing any Firefox state for instance. I also didn't list Firefox as you'll note - it's not a C project, it's a mishmash of languages already (Mostly JS and C++ from my understanding). I'm really talking about projects that are currently C-only adding in Rust code to the mix - they are structured much differently then a project like Firefox and the interfaces are generally much more complex as far as C goes.

I will add though, servo is making pretty impressive efforts. It is again a complete rewrite though, not an integration of Rust into Gecko which is the type of thing I'm talking about. A rewrite of a library in Rust against a stable API is generally possible, depending on the API - though the amount of work may make it prohibitive to get something usable.

> There are various examples of Linux kernel modules written in Rust.

I would like to see an example of a legitimate Linux Kernel module written in Rust that is in some form of use. I have never seen one besides a toy implementation and I can all but guarantee you it doesn't exist, for the reason that it would be way to much of a hassle to attempt to get it working with the mixture of macros, inline assembly, inline functions, gcc attributes, etc.

> There are rewrites of the coreutils in Rust

Coreutils is admittedly not a very good example, if only because coreutils isn't actually that big/complex of a project (Though supporting all the GNU flags and arguments is a pretty big task). They're also mostly just separate exe's anyway, so you could replace one or two with Rust code without much of a difference - I'd gladly remove Coreutils from the list if you would like.

We are creating HTML from within Javascript because:

- We want to generate HTML from our data (eg. database)
- We want an interactive experience (eg. with toggling visibility)

You could argue that we should generate the HTML on the backend, but then you are still generating HTML, and now you have two systems that interact with the HTML instead of one.
Listening to both sides, trying to understand them, work on a short-term compromise while simultaneously setting bases for a long-term real solution -- such is a path to enlightenment.

Dismissing someone's opinion on an emotional pretext, pretending the problem doesn't exist because the initial condition was ill-formulated -- is not.

How much of reactions of French commenters here are due to the complex of french people working abroad (or with people from abroad) -- always feel the need to justify and defend France?

Emotions are a by-product of a brain metabolism. Please, let us leave this sort of defense to the Constitutional Court, it has been doing a pretty good job at it, France still is a free country.
I think that will be in v2.0. The article also shows a shift from older tech such as slack vs email/twitter for notifications, which I quite like. However, I can't help feeling that as folks get more tech knowledgable, this type of strategy may not work. Maybe we will need the techniques used in high frequency trading employed in searching for an apartment, the milliseconds different may start to count :-)

Off the top of my head, try being a non-union Electrician, Plumber, etc. in San Francisco for a day.

At the end of that day, you will drop to your knees, and thank god for those lefty unions. At the end of a few years, you just might be able to afford a house.

Actually San Francisco has a lot of union jobs, and they arn't moving to China.

Personally, I think people in tech will look back, and wish they had some Union protection. It's the one profession I'm shocked hasen't completely moved overseas.

What's the better alternative? America is better now because got rid of a lot of unions? Yes--a lot of products are made where your boss can get maximum ROI. They are made overseas for a lot of reasons, including lax laws concerning every aspect of that widget. Employee health/happiness/economic viability--who cares. Enviornment--who cares. Ability to pay taxes--who cares. Who cares as long as it's cheaper. Sometimes the cheapest is not the best for society as a whole?
This is pretty common in Mexico. Go to the Mayan village of Coba on the Yucatan Pensinsula and you will see hundreds of small mountains. What used to be pyramids, are now hills as trees and bushes have grown through them. When I was there some years ago they told me only 5-10% have been restored and made back into pyramids. It's an extremely time-consuming process involving large teams to ensure each brick is put back into the right place. Most times you just see a pile of bricks with no sign of a pyramid structure.
> It knows which properties are accessed in each component, and ensures only the ones that rely on the changed data are updated.

This is what blew me away. I understood that "computed" values were doing this, but when I saw that the react components were using it as well, I was sold. I have been in componentWillReceiveProps with redux too much, trying to improve rendering performance. With mobx, out of the box, you get 100% exact render updating.
