people on hacker news don't seem to realize there are shades of gray in the world, it's not black and white. Hillary might be light gray, but trump is BLACK. just like whenever there's discussion about Russia or China, people goes BUT US!. no. shades of gray.
A good list for sure; I'll be adding a few of these to my reading list (and a couple, like "Higher Order Perl", already are).

"I find algorithms to be useful in the same way I find math to be useful"

To be fair, American English occasionally uses "lite" to mean "diet", so that likely is a direct borrowing.
I 'm with the parent in this one. The journal situation is ridiculous. Scientists have complete control over it - the uber-vast majority of voters know nothing about journals. And it's also ridiculously easy for each and every scientist to effect change: just publish your results in open journals.
Yes, he means using it in combination with a real time flight dynamics computer.

Something small like an arduino can be used for attitude control, heading hold, etc., which is itself directed by a mission computer (the RPi) which can manage more complex, higher level behaviours.
>>> I still work pretty much as a solo programmer, but within a large organization. I work on an important component of a large software product, and I'm the only developer who works on (or even understands) that area of the code. I do, however, interact a lot with other groups whose code interacts with mine.

Do you hear the "bus factor" and/or lack-of-code review concerns much? If so, how do you respond?
Ultimately, the web is centralized because the architecture of the internet (which it's built on) is created that way.

In essence users aren't part of the network the way servers are they are simply clients connected through a ISP. That's because routing is a difficult thing to do well without a planned structure.

It's hard enough to route between normal home wireless routers. Could you imagine the complexity involved in routing between wireless devices like Smartphones that physically move around, turn off all the time?
Out of couriosity, how do they describe green eyes then? or do they have a separate word that only means green?
These type of lists have nothing to do with efficient learning. In the information age we have more available information than time. Knowing how to learn is the multiplication factor. If you do your due diligence these lists quickly becomes anecdotal.

> Hitler was a Socialist, not a right wing politician.

He was a right-wing populist that wanted to do "socialism" for the superior German race by enslaving Slavs etc.
He actually hated the Soviet Union precisely because it was socialist.
In fact Nazism actually means "Nationalist Socialism" = Nazism, which is not the "Socialism" of the soviets, but a right-wing, one race owns everything ideology, which is precisely why Nazism is a separate ideology.

The fact that this is believed by some is disgraceful.
Since when does Reason have JSX?
Thiel seems a lot like Trump -- he won the startup lottery and acts like it entitles him to be taken seriously about politics and economics. My reaction is similar when some movie star endorses a candidate.
Jep, was about to include that as well, but kept it out to make it clear how easy the rule actually is. I have only a vague understanding on how to do it in English so I mostly use spaces everywhere.

> I'm not sure how this distinction is made.

The distinction is being made just like every other German word has been created: By more and more people using them like that and authorities like the Duden recognizing that.

What I dislike about foreign words from English or French is that they are written differently than they are spoken, making you switch language pronunciation mid-sentence while reading. Historically foreign words at some point were also spelled German, I would like to see that done again. At first it will be weird, but a hundred years ago people also found it weird to write "Büro" instead of the original French "bureau", which in everyday live nobody recognizes as originally French anymore.
Bitcoin ‘Mining’ Finds a New Home in Tibet
I went and read that passage again, and I'm sorry but the phrasing is ambiguous.

"There is no double entendres in France" literally means that "double entendres" are nowhere to be found in France, which in itself makes no sense.

The sentence "there is no double entendres in French" would actually make sense but bears the meaning with which I credited it initially.

If the journalist meant "The expression double entendres is borrowed from French but not used in France where it has no meanings" he/she did a poor job phrasing it.
I think 'freestyle' was a brand name, so it may have come from that?
I rarely "finish" a technical book. I instead skim over it once or twice and then keep it on hand as a reference. Some books are indeed worth reading front-to-back and in-depth, but usually the use as reference material is more important to me.

I'm not surprised at all that Thiel is for Trump: he was always more for preserving America as white a possible than libertarian guy.

And Trump did for one important thing: we all know who are the racists and which organizations harbor and supporting racisms.

I never said most.

Beyond that actually good arguments people have already given you, that's just been my life experience. I was born and raised poor. Not "I'm living paycheck to paycheck in a studio apartment poor", but rather "Wondering when this week I'll have enough money to eat" poor.

And so, the people I grew up with were the same. And while iphones did not exist at the time, you can bet your ass the moment someone had just enough money to buy bread, the rest went on their new electric guitar. And the day they got their foodstamps, they would trade a portion of them so they could get a shiny new TV.

That's just human nature.
I understand that sentiment, yet am shocked that people put aside all of Trump's faults.

The real issue that I wish American's focused on was their weak democracy. Why accept a two party system fuelled by private money?
There are two notions of freedom to consider: One is the notion of a liberal society in which the collective notion of rights lead to freedom from slavery. This notion underpins modern liberal society.

The other notion of freedom developed in the late Roman empire which came to mean a lord's right to do whatever he wants with his property, including his slaves. This notion of freedom, indistinguishable from power, lies at the heart of the Neo-Reaction movement.

Definitely, but I see that flexibility as a good thing. I can either depend completely on the type system at compile time, or I can move some things to runtime, depending on what I'm writing and how much time I have to complete it. The boiler plate introduced by immutability and pureness can become unwieldy in large projects from what I've read.

Another cool thing is the option to use either a pure expression-based functional approach or a OOP approach, or even a mix between the two.

Noms syncs at the level of a "value" not the entire database. Since a Noms database is a tree of values, you can sync the entire db, but you don't have to. You can also sync a single list.

So yes, in principle, we can definitely do this. In practice we are missing some conveniences that would make it a really easy drop-in feature.

Unbelievable. I'm disgusted that you would suggest the blackballing of an investor simply because you don't agree with his political opinion--an opinion, I might add, that is shared amongst a large percentage of our country. Trump say a lot of nutty things but he's not far off the mark when he speaks of a liberal conspiracy to ruin him in this election. Your suggestion is a textbook example of this: using out-of-band threats and pressure to force the hands of major supporters.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm originally from France but live in western Canada (which is predominantly english speaking).

My understanding, from spending a few days in Quebec, interacting with people from there, and listening to lots of shows about the french language, there are two school of thoughts in Quebec:

- one that french as to be pure, where pure means not a single word with roots that can be traced back to english.

- one that borrows a lot of words from modern english, which are pronounced with an english accent (as opposed to english word adopted in France, which are pronounced with a french accent).

I don't know where the line is drawn, if they are the same people in different context, or a social class, or just a conscious decision to adopt one vs the other, but all the jazz about language laws there seem to be coming from the first group.

Also note there isn't a single version of the french language in Canada, but several across the country which is based on where the original people came from in France, and what influence that language has had over the past 400 years.
I agree, it's a	social construct. In my corner of science,

I also believe in similar lines. These are just good to have list. I personally think its easier to lean from Internet articles, getting started guides, hello world programs etc. Not sure how many here buy and read a programming book end to end before starting to code. (or start with examples given in this book , given that its 2016)
I became an adult the day I started expecting being treated as one.

There are many more things that go about adulthood, and I guess the most defining would be to take responsibility for one's own action.

I had taken responsibility already, it just had not occurred to me that I did not need to defer to other people because of age and experience. (Not that it is bad to defer to more experienced people, but it should be a conscious decision.)

I tried looking up libertarian on Wikipedia and there are so many definitions I'm not sure what people mean when they say the word, libertarian. What I thought the word meant years ago was no government, turns out that is called anarchism. When people tell me that they are libertarian I always wonder what the hell that means or if they even know.

This is one key reason why I strongly prefer federated services over fully decentralized/distributed ones. Typically in federated services each node pays for itself, which is both fair and economical. Of course it doesn't always work perfectly, as demonstrated by email spam.
I doubt it's even a question pg can answer though. I see it as pg getting to the crux of dhh's argument, without the foreplay. It helps show dhh's true beliefs. But sure, it is dodging the question.

It's just math: nearly 70% of people have nearly no savings, but market penetration for a lot of luxury devices when put together is a heck of a lot more than 30%. So there's an intersection. How large is it? Who knows.

And while I was never homeless, I spent most of my life having to pick between rent and food and surrounded by people who were in the same boat. That's where I've seen that situation happen times and times again.
I don't really like living for the benefit of others. I've noticed in my life that the more I'm working to fulfill the expectations of others, or taking care of things that they either can't do or can't do well, the more miserable that makes me. I'd say that adulthood is in several respects the process of acclimating to living your life for others.

This article spends a lot of time talking about the trappings, like cars and stuff. For me at least, having or not having that stuff has never been the issue with adulthood.
I have to admit as much as I dislike Trump pg raises a valid point. Another analogy would be YC disavowing Thiel for being gay.

Today's business requirement that we look productive and emphasize (re)action over observation, thought and planning is the major reason why I often consider leaving the work force entirely (at almost 40).

Although it's not often reflected upon these days, innovative, useful software was actually being created before, say, 2005. And, that software wasn't being built at 48-hour hackathons. And, it wasn't being bolted on to an MVP. It was acceptable then (and usually required) that a knowledgeable and skilled team spend a lot of time contemplating requirements and design.

I'm proud that I had created important, useful software over the years. Some of it had use for over a decade. Some of it is still in use today. But, I often joke with friends that I never would have been hired today, and I never would have been accepted to the same university program.

Wow I was expecting a full blown article, and instead found something smaller than a write in opinion piece.

Even worse the source document has far more interesting data on it, sorting by gender/age/location. Even if it is a self serving study by a service that is in the business of selling savings accounts.

The data is pretty scary though. After finally getting a 6 month runway of living expenses I can't imagine going back. Even having a month or two runway makes it so easy to not make unreasonable mistakes.
Do you think so? I think if anything it's been historically men that keep the toys (cars, golf, nights with the boys) . In the last generation or 2 women seem to have also been allowed a life outside of the home, and a role other than 'adult mother'

Or do you mean something else?
I'm guessing you should probably double check that section either way, as I would be surprised if the broad language is legally binding. At least in Norway, adding text to a contract that overreach (ie: tries to enforce a clause that is effectively illegal) generally voids the contract (or at the very least that section) - falling back to standard/minimal protection afforded by the law. This would (in Norway) probably be great for your employees, but maybe not what you want as a company.

As far as I know, several European jurisdictions would work in a similar way.
As a guy who grew up in French immersion schools in Canada, I consider myself to be fluent in French, although my grammar isn't quite perfect. I don't mentally translate it to English in order to understand it, at any rate.

Recently, I took a short trip that included a few days in Paris, and I made a point of defaulting to French when starting conversations. However, for the most part, as soon as a French person realizes that French is not my first language, they switch the conversation to English, even if their English is worse than my French (according to my perception).

I wonder if this is unique to the culture of France, or at least Paris, that they do not like to hear their language from a foreigner? Maybe the language is part of a group identity, used to identify locals who can be trusted to follow local customs? It was a little saddening. In Africa and the Middle East however, when I am in predominantly French speaking communities, the locals seem quite happy to have conversations in French, even though our accents differ greatly.

And yet, Trump supporters never had any trouble believing the polls when they showed their candidate leading during the primaries. Every single time, Trump would open his rallies with "have you seen the latest polls?".

When the polls show him to be ahead, it's evidence that the voters love him. When he's behind, it's evidence that the polling is rigged.
It's more for coding time, using the text editor plugins not browsing time. Using the api you can distinguish between browsing activity and coding activity, but the website displays it as the same activity right now.
Yep, that is one of the reasons PHP and ASP got such a bad name. Projects like those take a few greps and minutes to get into and get you to productively make changes without much risk. And, outside HN, it is still quite common because of it.
It's a feedback loop of adverse selection. They become more politically slanted, fewer people listen to them, their revenues plummet, their recruitment pool gets shallower, they become more politically slanted... At a certain point only true propaganda believers willing to work for ~minimum wage remain. Now, they're also getting hammered by social media hastening the process.

The same thing happened to communists. After 50 years only idiots and sociopathic opportunists (since they still had the spoils of power) could be found in the party.

You need to increase your estimate to deal with such uncertainties. Don't think of it as "task will be finished at exactly time X," instead think of it as, "95% sure that task will be finished before time X." Give yourself padding so you can finish comfortably.
I know. When I've heard that recently in the last debate, it somewhat made me throw up in my mouth. Last thing I want is yet another war we can't win.

I also started thinking about John Titor again, regarding how things happened in his story/anecdote. Obviously different, but a good deal of things seem pretty similar... How many rights will we lose before it's too many?
Yup, I know :) it's a matter of opinion. I was just saying that that's a significant difference that will make a segment of engineers pick something like Elm. Elm is also more minimalist and easier to pick up if you're not into FP. Even knowing Haskell, some Scala types make me go cross eyed.

On my side, if i have the choice between boilerplate or having to debug runtime errors, I'll pick the boilerplate any day. If my product manager thinks its worth it to push a feature earlier (and risking having it blow up), well, I'll go work for someone else ;)
Some good points. I liked Obama 4 years ago when I was old enough to vote for president the first time. Now 4 years later, I'm liking Trump. But I still think social issues and even things like basic income, and using technology to do work sounds interesting.

Trump says he'll tax goods made out of the US 30% more on import, he never said they had to be made by humans.

I feel regulations increase the cost of business within the US, and also why there's very few banks or cable companies. Then no matter how big the gov gets, it's still slow at approving things. It just feels like something isn't working. I guess we just need to find a balance between the two and simplify things.

Like for some things, you need a whole army of lawyers working for you. I just feel the world isn't meant to give the average person an advantage. Plus big companies can afford more regulations, to make it harder for smaller businesses to compete with them. I think over time it's going to get worse and worse for the amount of regulations. There's probably honest business owners that aren't even aware of all of them as they are scattered all over the place, and disorganized.
Unless it's violent coercion used to enforce the property system, which libertarians seem to like to ignore.
I wrote this in another comment:

> And last but not least: Hitler himself frequently said and wrote that he is a Socialist. Not an International Socialist like the Soviet Union but a National Socialist.

International Socialism was the Soviets. By definition an international variant must be less racist and it's not surprising that a National variant was racist.

But the economy had similarities, it was controlled almost completely by the government. (to a greater extent in the Soviet Union than by the Nazis, but the Nazi economy certainly was no free market economy)

The same people as who have always paid for it: the users at the edge of the network via subscription fees to centralised providers (Usenet, email, etc.), or directly for web hosting, etc.

If you're not paying for something, you're the thing being sold.

It may be we end up paying central IT orgs small amounts of money to host apps (I can see people paying AWS for social network applications of their own running on Lambda, for example), but the network pays for itself by users paying for it.

If users are not prepared to do that, they are always going to be sold as commodities, as they are today in most free SaaS consumer-facing applications.
