You think millions of unskilled and semi-skilled workers can be retrained as software developers and that there'll be employment opportunities for these millions of new programmers?

I think it's much more likely that many existing programming jobs will also be automated away.

The key isn't in your head: you know the passphrase used to decrypt the key which is then kept in system memory. Techniques like the cold boot attack[0] or row hammer[1] can be used to retrieve the key and access your data. In the case of non-hardware-TPM secured encryption schemes the kernel or bootloader which must remain unencrypted for the system to boot can be backdoored to record the passphrase and/or the key.

Vice versa is also true. Google and Facebook can censor free speech more effectively than any other, legally.

Google and Facebook don't need a search warrant to scour and social engineer billions of people's lives.

I hear this often, but somehow precise objections never come up. What exactly is wrong with what he's proposing? Why would a socio-economically heterogenious country with a population of 350M not benefit from public health insurance and welfare? What makes it such that, in principle, these social plans could not be applied in a manner sympathetic to the political and social organization of the US (e.g. by delegating implementation details to states and municipalities)?

The US has very real and tangible problems with healthcare and the lack of a social safety net, yet a significant portion of Americans insist on brushing off advice from cultures that have all but solved these problems.

To conclude with an analogy in a similar vein as yours, this is like watching a minimum-wage earner blowing his money on a luxury car, plasma-screen TV, XBOX and weed, and subsequently complaining that he's stuck in a rut. And when concerned, well-to-do neighbors offer friendly advice, he responds with the equivalent of "buzz off, your situation is different than mine". Yes. That's the point. Their situation is different and they know something about how to get there.
I'm a fan of both PostgreSQL and SQL Server, but I think these numbers are very workload-specific. I've gotten 1GB/s throughput on SQL Server 2012 on spinning disks and CPUs older than the E5620, so I've no doubt that same workload would exceed 2GB/s on your hardware. The apples-to-apples comparison here is between the two versions of PG where the performance improvement is clear. It's harder to do an apples-to-apples comparison between PG and SQL Server because the optimal schema and queries for a particular workload are likely to differ for each of them.

Is there a specific recipe you have in mind? (honest question, I'd love to throw 10 chicken breasts into the oven one night a week)
It's the same in SF! One time I dropped the pin at the end of a block on a one-way street, near its intersection with a two-way street. The driver it gave me was literally a block away and could have come down the two-way street, only requiring me to walk five steps over to that intersection.

Instead, it kept him on the parallel street one block over and then had him loop over three blocks, one of which was a major street, all to save me from taking those five steps.

I asked the driver about it and he said he was planning to just take the short route, but a) most people aren't ready, and b) it's safer from a rating perspective to follow the given route.

Ask HN: How does one afford to work part-time-equity-only position?
Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I received a LinkedIn message and curious if anybody -- already working full time -- would actually entertain an equity only part-time position? The idea, to me, is egregious; perhaps its because I've only worked for "larger corporations" (currently at Amazon), and not start ups. How could anybody afford to work part-time for equity if they have financial responsibilities (e.g "family", "mortgage") ?

Unless I'm horribly wrong, the only thing a chrome lite would save is disk space.

These features only activate when you open dev tools. So any overhead to using them won't apply unless they are open.

And most browsers work this way. It also makes it a pain sometimes to debug performance issues. One specific time I was having issues with some CPU-heavy JS code in edge. It was taking 45 seconds to process an image, but only like 5 in other browsers. When I opened the edge dev tools, it would take 5 MINUTES to complete!
He is missing 55 cents because WB21 appear to be miscalculating the fee. They add 1% to the transfer amount ($5500) to get a total ($5555), and then take 1% from that ($55.55) as their fee.

In other words, their fee is really 1.01%. If the author can be bothered he should explain this to them and ask for his 55 cents back.

There is a race in the systemd-notify mechanism that means that some notification messages get discarded if the systemd-notify process happens to complete its work and exit before systemd picks up the message. They never reach the point of the assertion that is triggered here, because systemd is unable to determine the service unit that encompasses the message sender.

Could you elaborate ob your last point?

Regarding the first point: To my understating, as a Ex-Bitcoiner, the whole point is a massive distrust in financial institutions + the idea that the whole hierarchy of banks and clients seems superfluous, and could be done away with. Insted of giving up your responsibilities that you get by having money, you take them into your own hand, leaving banks and the similar with nothing left to do.

Now it will obviously make no sense to use bitcoin like Dollar/Pound/Euro+bank, because it isn't made for that. Currently (as far as I know) there are some internal struggles between the "core developers" because of this fact. For-Profit companies like CoinBase and BitPay would like to expand their market at the cost of the distributed network, while others say the whole point of the network would be lost by giving in to them.
I'm not sure I understand your point. Isn't the goal of this technique to add somewhat dynamic scripts to the page? Specifically, the page includes "foo" but it basically just bootstraps "bar" and "baz."

That is, if you already know the script you want to load, yes. Just load it. This is for the case where you are loading a script that will, in turn, decide what scripts need loading.
The "pay a fine, get a work permit" solution will put you into a compliant status too.

Whether deportation is meant to be punitive or not, it is harsh. Not just for the deported person, but also their employer, family, landlord, etc.

I understand the value of referential transparency and how it makes "certain" things easy, but saying that it automatically makes testing functional code easy is a myth. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

If you want to stick to referential transparency, you can't use dependency injection: you have to pass all the parameters the function needs. None of these can be implicit or belong to a field on the class since that would mean side effects. The `Reader` monad is not dependency injection, it's dependency passing and it comes with a lot of unpleasant effects on your code.

And because of that, functional code is often very tedious to test. Actually, in my experience, there is a clear tension between code that's referentially transparent and code that's easily testable. In practice, you have to pick one, you can't have both.
I do think there need to be significant changes to how road maintenance is subsidized, especially in the wake of more fuel efficient and even fuel-less vehicles. I think I've seen a similar concern in regards to bicyclists that I haven't seen a great solution for yet.

But I was wondering what exactly you meant by "Teslas are monster road destroyers"? This is the first I've heard this sentiment. Do you mean that they are so heavy they do more damage than most cars, or just that they are not paying towards roadwork, thereby doing more net damage than gas vehicles?
> how do we replace failed bolts

Use that gray stuff in your head to think of a way to do it. It depends on the type and grade of bolt and how it's holding the things together. You could broach & thread the hole and replace your broken bolt with a larger bolt.

Then you can collect your metals, melt them down, work the metal with some oils to imbue it with some carbon, and make reclaimed bolts.

With power, a lathe, and time you can build anything round. With some more tools you can build anything of any shape.

Just recycle everything.
