>"South Park evolved from a neo-con/libertarian [...] paradise, to a neo-reactionary shitfest."

That's possibly the least charitable summary of the show I've heard since I had the misfortune of discussing it with a Scientologist.

Libertarians are generally pretty strongly opposed to neo-cons and were even moreso when neo-cons were in power 15 years ago. As for neo-reactionary bit, since when has that been a term to describe those supporting criminal justice / police reform, liberal drug laws and gay marriage since at least a decade before it was the popular position?

Clearly you have come across some issues where you disagree with the creators but simply labeling the show as a "neo-reactionary shitfest" isn't very intellectually honest or conducive to a productive discussion.
> I want to be able to modify/add code

Yes, but I want to do that in my editor, not in the browser.

> try it out, then rewind, and try something else. Then save my changes once they work perfectly.

Certainly I do not want to copy'n'paste the code then back from browser to my editor.

Let me all do this in my editor of choice. The browser is only where I execute stuff, a debugger belongs into the editor/ide.

FWIW, I think it's planned by debugger.html project that the debugger can be used by different editors/IDEs. See the presentation at React Rally (relevant snippet is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk--XUEorvc&feature=youtu.be...) showing the integration into emacs or even using debugger.html as CLI tool.
I haven't used the LOOP macro in CL, but the for macro in Clojure is also very powerful and (imho) very readable.

My take on the 'versify' example in 4 lines:

(for [book book-order
chapter (range 1 1000) :when (get-in bible [book (str chapter)])
verse (range 1 1000) :when (get-in bible [book (str chapter) (str verse)])]
[book chapter verse (get-in bible [book (str chapter) (str verse)])])

Notice that a single "for" can iterate in a multi-level structure. You can also use :let if you don't want to call (get-in) multiple times (which makes the code shorter, but more redundant and less efficient)
Got it. You use Linkedin when you need to find someone in your network that works at a given company, so your interactions are more of a need base than casual social conversations?

Ask HN: How do you job hunt without references?
I'm shy and I have rarely asked for references and it always comes up when applying for jobs. The last two supervisors I asked for references from, 3-5 years ago, are at different companies now. I haven't spoken with them since I left so it'd be awkward to reach out now. I feel generally uncomfortable asking for a reference so I have basically none anyway. References seem so arbitrary because nobody's going to provide a bad reference anyway, they seem to favor people into "networking."
Even humans make mistakes:
speach -> speech
deliberatly -> deliberately
I expect these systems to surpass human ability in the next few years.
If anyone from GitHub reads this, it would be great if you could use Task Lists [1] within Notes, e.g.

Note Title.

- [ ] Some subtask.
- [x] Another subtask.

You could then group subtasks within a single note and tick them off as you go without having to edit the note every time. Cheers and thank you for the fantastic new features!

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it's important to distinguish between two things.

One is personal accountability for the views that you express, where people around you might dislike you for it. That's pretty unavoidable, but you can also choose who you associate with.

The other is the government threatening or implying a threat to its citizens for thinking or believing a certain thing. This is very bad in the long run for minorities in race, opinion, or otherwise. Changing which government you live under is potentially quite difficult, certainly harder than choosing who you hang out with.

America has two economy.

Group 1: One economy consists of the some of the largest most richest multinational entities the world has ever seen.

Group 2: The other consists of small business like every other country.

Every company in Group 1 was once in Group 2, they move from Group 2 to Group 1 once they have achieved some benefit from "regulatory capture" to entrench themselves.

Economic prosperity and innovation comes from Group 2 increasing in size. Group 2 normally plays by the rules of market ( they are part of the economical food chain )

Group 1 is OUT of the food chain.

Why did I bring this up ?

Because this is critical in understanding the role of immigrants and capital.

If a set price bar is created for H-1B then group 2 business will be unable to compete on price, most group 2 business operate using thin margins. Size of Group 2 will increase in foreign countries, as Group 2 business are easier to start outside.

Group 1 on the other hand are responsible for the abuse of the H-1B in the first place ! but setting a lower bar will completely not effect them. In fact now their entrenched position is more entrenched ! since small business will be unable to hire foreign workers that they need. Group 1 market share increases allowing them to better control price.

All the extra money that group 1 receives, they are not stupid to start business in low growth high cost developed economy. Due to their global reach, all that money gets invested in building offices outside - their main enemy is govt. - it is in their best interest to figure out how to play one govt against another.

Group 2 on the other hand, any cost saving that they get through cheaper labour, normally gets reinvested in the local economy. They are normally not the ones who are interested or have the managerial skills to co-ordinate business at an international level.

Anything that congress does, that does not take into account this dynamic between group 1 and 2 is doomed to fail.

Much of the Firefox UI is and has been written in JS for a long, long time. What's happening now is that Mozilla is moving some components away from the XUL renderer -- an old, crusty piece of tech that is only still maintained because Firefox depends on it -- to the HTML renderer. Having more things on one stack means development resources can be spent more effectively.

Does a startup have?

Proposals and Stress = Check

low success rates and intense competition = Check

Need for sales = Check

I can't help but think you essentially have the same situation in academia as one has in a startup, only "it's different." The difference to me is the illusion of control. One may think that they are in control of the startup vs. the bureaucracy of government/academia/established business.

I posit that most things that are required by business are, in fact, not under your control. The illusion of control is there and one may feel that actions are leading to certain outcomes, but the truth is they have no direct control of the outcome. "Luck" plays the same role in the bureaucratic or private enterprise affair... some have it and others don't.
Very fast? Maybe in the US, but rest of the world still has oceans in between of them. Adding 200msec+ of latency to every request makes it feel very sluggish.

Maybe they should start looking into global rollout like Google, Facebook and basically every serious company having world-wide audience.

If you're only attenuating inflation signals because of quality improvements, but never amplifying them because of product debasements, then yes, it would be fair to write that off as (politically driven?) manipulation.

While I think it's true that he took too many documents and probably released too many documents, I think his intentions were good, and overall was an important contribution to public knowledge of the way our governments work. It was an eye opener for a lot of tech companies, to be sure.

He was essentially forced to flee to Russia-- no other country could protect him. I don't think it's where he wanted to end up.

I don't think he should be pardoned. He committed crimes, and possibly could have found a better way to get this information out there. I do think he should be offered a generous plea-bargain in return for coming home and debriefing the NSA/CIA and congress about what exactly he took, how he took it and the status of all of those secrets.
Not to doubt OP, but how is someone talking to themselves a medical emergency?
For at least some time, the police are likely to adjust by being more violent not less I imagine. Though you are right, in the end it'll probably even out to some positive changes.
One day I had turned on the television and found a MLB game as an interim choice while I found something else to watch. I didn't know, but my center channel's wiring had gone loose from moving speakers around. There were no announcers and it was so... wonderful. It was peaceful and I'll even say it was relaxing. For the first time in my life I enjoyed professional baseball... and kept it on. Ever since, I wonder why providers don't offer announcer muting.
Thanks for the answer straight from the horse's mouth! I'd often heard about companies storing their code on GH and didn't understand how they could get away with using a SaaS app available on a public cloud; now I know, they can just run a self-hosted version on their own private network.

Okay, yes, but then everyone else is paying that too. I.e. as a society we're all chipping in to create a good. The fact is, the forgiveness of student loans is overall a good thing. Because of timing you didn't get to participate in that good thing. Should that make you pissed? In other words, if you had veto power over the loans being forgiven would do so since you had pay marginally higher taxes?

It's strange that yummyfajitas' post is flagged and killed, presumably for asking a legitimate question in a sarcastic way that rubbed some biased and oversensitive moderator the wrong way.

Contrast to this post, which accuses of him of being "one of them", presumably part of a conspiracy to spread apologia for poor food choices on a hacker interest forum!

An absurd claim, insulting, illogical, of no service to the conversation, but remaining alive and upvoted. We can see further content-free insults in replies to this post. This is the first time I've seen a post killed for reasons that are obviously wrong. In addition, they are wrong in a dangerous way, killing mere rhetorical sarcasm while allowing actual insults, of negative worth, to run wild.
Sometimes, I can't help but think to myself that when all is said and done, and all protests and studies and statistics and news blurbs and talking-head debates are finished, at the end of the calculation, this is what will change the way police interact with minorities.

In an America where minorities are becoming no-longer-minorities, the probability that cops choosing a random non-white-guy to beat haven't chosen someone from the 1% (or someone with friends in the 1%) who can pursue their careers to the ends of the earth with the tools of the system itself approach zero.

There's not a lot in America that doesn't march to the beat of a capitalistic drum.

By "frivolity", I mean spending which is not necessary to provide satisfactory service. Bringing up slavery is a bit confusing. Why not just bring up Hitler?

I understand that you want to keep collecting your paycheck while the next guy on the totem pole makes $12,000/year as a PTL. Similarly, the Donald wants to build a giant wall of ice guarded by rapers, bastards, criminals and political exhiles to prevent unskilled white men from losing their rents (while keeping the Mexicans in poverty).

I guess that in my morality, rent seekers are evil and Trump is a bad person for appealing to them. You seem to disagree.
I have never found subjecting other people to hatred, disgust and vitriol to be effective in inducing them to change in a positive way.

I would put all projects under one repo as orphan branches. With some branch-naming conventions you can easily separate those.
The number of "family farms", however you choose to define that as a meaningful term, is roughly the same percentage. the output has dropped below 50% of total agricultural output however.

http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/eib-economic-informatio...

Farming is still an industry of family businesses. Ninety-nine percent of farms are family farms, and they account for 90 percent of farm production. Small farms make up 90 percent of the farm count and operate 46 percent of the Nation's farmland. Most farm production, however, occurs on midsize and large-scale family farms.

It's also worth asking the question, "Is the term 'family farm' meaningful in many of these cases?"
I wish I only failed to recognize 6% of the words when listening to crappy teleconference calls...
Yeah, I really hate that logic:

"Hey! Congrats on that 10% increase in compensation!"

'Huh? My pay hasn't gone up, what are you talking about?'

"Oh, it's not your salary -- your benefits went up. Your employer buys you more health care."

'Oh, wow, so I'm getting more coverage with my health plan? Faster lines? Quicker recovery? Less out of pocket? You're right, that is a pay bump, I need to look more closely!'

"Oh, no, you get none of that, and it's actually worse on most of those criteria; it's just that they're charging more."

'So, I get the same benefits, but someone pays more to get them to me, so that counts as a pay bump?'

"Yep!"

A motivational letter to your nonexistent side project
I was one of the presenters at RustConf this year. Despite being a new conference, the organizers did incredibly well; everything went as smoothly as any of the top tier of Open Source conferences. And of all the Open Source conferences I've been to, I found RustConf by far the most welcoming and energizing; great reflection on both the Rust community and the RustConf organizers.

I've found this about Rust in general: despite being a very new community, it manages to come across as quite mature and established in many ways. For instance, the language's stability-marking infrastructure allows experimentation with new language features without requiring stable applications to build with a nightly compiler because key dependencies want nightly features. Many of the mistakes and missteps that I've seen in new communities, as they rediscover problems from other communities, seem to have been anticipated and avoided in the Rust community.

RustConf was a reflection of that; despite being the first RustConf, it went as smoothly as any established conference that's been running for years.
Then... I'd be enslaved in your hypothetical, and by definition would have no choices I could make.

Oh, see what you're saying now. You're right. It has been "slanted" as a funding "cut".

That said, I think you'd agree that the government has failed to fund the education of its citizens to the level it used to. I got my college education when it was "cheap" so if I was selfish [OK, more selfish than I am] I would be inclined to go with the "I got mine, tough for you. I had to walk uphill both ways to school, blah, blah. Thanks for paying for my retirement."

That's very technically impressive, but 6% is still a long way from where it needs to be as anything like a primary interface. Even 1% is pretty high when you consider how many words you can utter in a few minutes, and how many errors that would generate.

There are hotkeys. there's a big map you can scroll around, but you can bind a specific view of a map to f1-f4. you can get a lot of actions just rolling through those, looking for specific events. Is the attack coming from over here? is the base still collecting resources? stuff like that.

You can also hotkey individuals or groups, 1-8. Again just rolling through those will get you a fair amount of apm.

That said, 780 is peak for world class players. You probably can't do that, ever, because by the time you put in the years of effort, your reflexes will have decayed.

On the other hand, brood war was a subtle game. APM is not the be all end all of winning. Getting proficient with a few aspects of the game can make you pretty good pretty quickly. Heck, just looking around the map like i mentioned above will help. Some people are amazing controlling a few units like a surgeon. Those units are practically unstoppable. But they miss the big picture. Scanning the map lets you distract, delay and ultimately minimize the value of those unstoppable units.

Hey @jakozaur!

A direct link to the site is here: http://bootstrap.io/

As a quick snippet of why we've developed Bootstrap.io as a value proposition:
Developing apps is hours on hours of coding weeks, days, and hours. On top of that - you have to switch gears to create your website. This process can also take weeks to complete. Now what if, your site can be hosted, created, and the content auto-generated for you in under 3 minutes? That is what we offer, with a great design to display your app site.

Attached below is a sample site created. Bootstrap IO automatically creates the home page as well as all the landing pages for your apps.

Website: http://284417353.bootstrap.io/

App List page: http://284417353.bootstrap.io/apps/
