I have held out since I love the language. I started using Java when it was new and actually very pragmatic and useful. Hated the enterprise phase, got bogged down by it but rose from the ashes. Now I'm a strong proponent of simplicity and libs over frameworks. And Java has great speed and simplicity for most tasks when memory management isn't a problem. But it's a constant struggle against old values in the business. And it doesn't take many conservative and bureucratic people to ruin a creative crowd. So I am looking to jump ship to what I consider in many ways inferior languages just to be able to be part of a modern culture.

To be clear, I still work at a company which is extremely forward (in averyting in beta sort of way). But still these old values hold everyone back and cause endless discussions of frameworks, processes and control structures vs creativity and speed.
Wat. If you intend to sell it as a product. Yes. Yes you do.

Double so if it's a product that is very likely to kill its owner.

And square all that, if your products is either used every day or can cause large amount of death, accidentally.
White people continue trying to speak for minorities, there's more to us than just black people you know, you can be skeptical for your safety if that's all the information you have.
People discriminate every day. I discriminate against restaurants and babysitters and businesses all the time. Sometimes those discriminations are because of a feeling. Sometimes they are are based on my internal biases. Sometimes I disagree with the choices a business has made and if affects whether or not I do business with them.

Why do we make such a big deal about "discrimination?" It's built into who we are as people.
I agree, the only thing I was really taking issue with is calling it a "golden solution". When in fact it is just a (useful) mitigation.

TRR might better fit the description of a "golden solution" although it is still technically a mitigation. I would very much like to see more ECC in consumer/desktop systems.
In a recent thread (too lazy to link), many users agreed that roma people ~suck in ~europe (because they keep to themselfes and their own culture, which sucks, and they don't integrate). I probably would discriminate against one if I was renting my "thing". It's time for airbnb(github/twitter too) to start dying I think.

Edit: I welcome you to show your counter examples.
> "What if I decline the commitment?",

It doesn't explain what happens if one accepts the commitment and still discriminates.

> Seems pretty clear: You can't discriminate, if you do we terminate your account at our discretion.

That's not what the text says. The text basically says :

"If you don't answer Yes to the commitment, we will terminates your account".

It doesn't say

"if you actually do discriminate we will terminates your account"

Seems pretty clear what that FAQ doesn't say. It says nothing about what Airbnb will do if an host or guest discriminates.
What makes you think this would be against the agreement? Is crust a religion? An disability? "Dirty" isn't a protected class.

I've personally experienced that some hosts refuse to rent to unmarried couples. It was inconvenient and silly, but perfectly legal and nearly harmless (unless their actual problem was that only one of us was white, but who can say).

And what are you going to do once you have that bitcoin in your secure offline wallet? Anywhere you spend it can see it came from your address and you just kidnapped X person, so you'll have a hard time spending it in person especially if authorities are watching. You can try to spend it online, but if you spend it with anyone more easily accessible than you and provide any identifying information to convert funds to a local currency or ship yourself something, you're screwed.

Like I said, the best you can do is mixing and similar, but you know what criminals actually primarily use? Cash. Cash is fungible and untraceable. If you're going to do some hostage taking, you may as well do it for cash rather than bitcoin, the only potential benefit of bitcoin would be verification might be easier than cash.

Tesla automotive batteries have shown pretty strong resilience over the few years they have been running, even on cars that have been driven hard.

Cars are at >90% capacity after 50,000 miles. It's not like the batteries need to be replaced frequently.

I wonder if these Powerwalls will have the same sophisticated battery thermal management system as the cars?
The reality is that apple has been pretty much universally right whenever they ditch something "way too soon". There's never been a moment when a year down the line apple realized "wait, this USB thing is never going to catch on, go back to the old ports we were wrong!"
Ask HN: What do I do now that Apple Macs suck?
Hi,

First, let me say that I'm a lifelong Apple fanboi. I had an Apple II near my bunk bed growing up. I went through the Clone wars of the 90s and was always a loyal Mac User. I was using OS 9 when everyone else was on Windows XP.

I say with the deepest sadness that the current Mac lineup doesn't fit my needs anymore. I have 6 monitors and I'm unapologetic about it - yup I just like a lot of monitors - now let it go.

I can either buy a MacPro trash can that hasn't been upgraded in 3.5 years and that is a shining example of Apple embarrassment on my desk. Or I can buy some unnecessarily thin MacBook Pro that has nothing "pro" about it.

What do I do??

I'm not willing to give up on OSX yet. I use the CLI extensively but don't want Linux and Windows is incompatible to my software development workflow.

I've built my own Hackintoshes in the past but as my Mac is my source of income and salary - I couldn't put up with the downtime that came with OSX upgrades every month (which is necessary to keep up with what Xcode mandates)

Is there any off the shelf x86 laptop/desktop that just works with OSX?

Please help HN... you're my only hope

To be fair he claims to have developed the system in 1980 and then used it subsequently to predict elections. But you're right that the data is noisy and small. And he did get it wrong in 2000 by predicting an Al Gore victory. So 7/8 correct on the "test set."
OK. Going by what you said, the best way is to actually build something that works, and if possible non trivial (you can even try to clone an existing popular app as you can focus on actually implementing it than brainstorming ideas), and showing it at places like HN, CodeProject etc with your profile clearly mentioning you are looking for a job (and a career change). Action beats words. If the app you have already built is in good enough working condition, you could use that itself. Being in between jobs is even better for this adventure as you can dedicate full time to this with no distraction. Good luck.

I am in a similar boat as you, except I am trying to move from C++ desktop to web domain, and this is what I am doing - building apps (actually porting my private desktop apps to web platform). Once I am happy with the quality, I will leverage on them. Of course, I am looking for a position comparable to my current one (lead dev or more) so I am being a bit more thorough etc.

> I was starting to once again decide if I wanted to found something or look for a job, then I realized I actually wanted to be a developer. So it is a mature decision.

You mean you want to work as an employee for someone as a developer and not be a developer entrepreneur? Just want to know.
The problem is this "sharing economy" facade.

You have a right to pick and choose who you want in your home, even if you don't like LGBT folks, African Americans, caucassions, whatever.

But the sharing economy isn't about sharing. It's about business platforms that monetize slack capacity of different resources.

So you're operating a business now (yes, really). And a business can't discriminate against a protected class. And AirBnB wants to portray an aura of community, so instead of saying "you can't legally discriminate; don't or we'll kick you off the platform" it's the proverbial "can we not all get along?; you must to continue on the platform"

Everyone will agree to this except a few folks who want to make a point, and those people who were discriminating before will continue to do so.

Silicon Valley needs to learn that scolding, lynching, patronizing people online isn't going to fix systemic socioeconomic issues. Those take decades to show positive change, and require far more effort than the community outreach resources of a few companies in the tech industry.

Edit:

My comment should've been more specific. In a non-business setting, you can pick and choose who is in your home. Not when renting the entire premises out to someone. AirBnB tries to portray its transactions as community when it's really just a business, with the rules and regs that go with that (anti-discrimination).
I'll take what seems to be the contrarian view and say I really like the looks of this. There's nothing about this implementation that isn't at least as good as what came before, and almost every aspect of it is better (sometimes dramatically so, as in the case where you have a lot of rules).

I'm not easy to please on firewall management questions, and consider FirewallD a step backward from plain old iptables on most fronts (though I understand it has value in laptops and other devices that have frequently changing networks). FirewallD is a different class of tool, of course, but it has some overlap...many of our customers demanded FirewallD support (our projects have a GUI for several firewall tools across Linux and the BSDs), even though it doesn't really make a lot of sense on a server. It seems clear that people don't love iptables unless they've been using it for years. I don't find iptables difficult (coming from ipchains, it was a breath of fresh air), but I understand folks who do, and this provides a clear improvement over iptables. So, even though I don't find iptables hard, I think I'll find this easier in a short time.

Maybe the simplification of the "standard" firewall tool will help reduce the propagation of big firewall scripts and rule generators; I find them distasteful in that they generate huge lists of rules, most of which have no relevance to the deployment. So, it's often difficult to troubleshoot problems with the firewall because there's so much crap in there.

Anyway, as others note, it does remind me of pf, which is a good thing. pf is quite elegant and coherent (though, AFAIK, it doesn't cover all of the use cases of iptables).
I think this is long past due.

For some background.

Uh, OK, which nations and why?
You can test the interface. A type is just an interface around memory, albeit more consrained.
I'm blind and prefer Fedora because it tracks GNOME more closely, and GNOME seems to reliably get accessibility right whereas Ubuntu/Unity doesn't.

So admittedly my development workflow isn't super high-tech. I do lots of JavaScript, some Rust, and a few others. All my languages have reliable command line tooling, which of course works well under Linux.

Some blind folks advised me to try Windows because it was supposed to make me more productive. I tried it for about a year and a half. I've used Linux since Slackware96, and whenever something failed under Windows I was stuck googling error codes and tracking down system logs. I can launch a Linux system upgrade from the command line. If it fails, it fails for an obvious/searchable reason, and prints its failure cause in the terminal. I don't have to track down logs in non-standard locations, google odd hex codes, etc.

Under Windows, the best I could find for accessible JS/Rust dev was Notepad++. That's just an enhanced text editor. At that rate I might as well use Gedit/Vim under Linux for development, which I do and it works well.

If you're developing heavily in Windows specific tech, then Linux wouldn't be a good fit. But as a technical user I'm quite happy with Linux generally, and Fedora specifically. About the only accessible Windows things I miss are audio games and Netflix, and my VM satisfies most of those. There are corner cases where Orca/Firefox act up, but under Windows there were lots of cases where I fought the OS, so there's just no perfect solution. I'd take a stronger foundation over slightly less accessibility any day.
Huh, I was just reading about that.
Hopefully a 'new path' doesn't entail something like working at a fast food joint...

I manage e-mail servers used by "smaller" government users (individual agencies/offices, municipalities, and counties), schools, businesses and individuals -- those who are typically using a "real" mail client (e.g. Outlook) over web-based mail (although we offer that as well).

I haven't ran any type of extensive usage statistics but from what I see daily plain-text POP3 (i.e. 110/TCP) is overwhelmingly more popular than anything else. STARTTLS (with both POP3 and IMAP4) is a bit behind that, followed by {POP3,IMAP4}-over-TLS (i.e. 99{5,3}/TCP).

This is probably due to a mostly stable user base that doesn't reconfigure or set up new mail clients often. As new mail clients are installed / configured, they typically use "native TLS" (not STARTTLS) but I think this is likely because of the autoconfig/autodiscovery that most mail clients (especially mobile) support nowadays.

We will hopefully be completely doing away with plain-text mail "soon" but it will require a LOT of reconfiguring of mail clients.
Most likely, they do surveys.
I know you're asking for collaborators and not recommendations for tools, but since you were mentioning Chrome Devtools I wanted to make you aware of kite.el [1] which I believe TV Raman had working with Emacspeak [2] at one point. kite.el is unmaintained, but it might make for a good starting point?

I rent two studios in Paris. And I always decline requests coming from people that come from my country or neighboring ones (Tunisia, Morroco) unless they have stellar reviews. That includes people who were born in France but have ancestry from those countries (which is pretty easy to guess).

That's because a) past history w. poor experiences b) I know too well they become overconfident when they see you are from there too c) generally speaking, they left my property in pretty bad state, with stuff that are broken or very dirty.

Oh and they always ask you if you do the ramadan and stuff like that. I will continue to do so and Airbnb has no way to prevent me from doing that.
I wouldn't worry. The weirdo crust punk most likely has no money. They are used to being stereotyped, and told No.

Just be careful when steping over them while they are sleeping on your sidewalk. Tell little Jenny, "It's o.k. to spit on them while they're sleeping. They're just weirdos."
I hab an x220. Such a cool machine. EBay has them for 160 euros, i might just get one as a travel system.
> Should languages create higher-level abstractions to allow humans to reason about programs more efficiently? Yes! But that's not what this environment is about.

I think it actually is. Under the hood, when you look beyond the "Literate programming is awesome" it seems to be more along the lines of terse reactive prolog?

I am not sure if they managed to do what they envisioned, but this might be the "next spread-sheet".
As a long time Apple user this was a mix for me, and I was really hoping for something as good as the MacBook Pro.
I really do care about having a nice screen and high quality key switches, so it was nice to see those get an upgrade.
I just don't care about weight, If it weight ten pounds but was more powerful I'd still carry it, I don't see why they make them lighter instead of improving airflow.
I don't want touch screens, they are such a big negative for me. I still love MacOS and the development ecosystem from it, but it is getting so much harder to justify.
> You can test the interface. A type is just an interface around memory, albeit more consrained.

Wow, again, that's not the problem here. Errors in the standard libraries are defined at values. There is no point testing it as interfaces, it will not give you the nature of the error, since they are all defined with fmt.Errorf . Do you understand now the problem ? the problem is being consistant across codebases between errors are values and errors as types.
I strongly dislike tools like ufw. Whenever I've had to troubleshoot a firewall generated by tools like it, the task is made more difficult by the extraneous rules created by them. I haven't actually used ufw, but reading the docs makes it seem more complicated than most such tools.

I would much rather the core management tools become better, rather than more ancillary scripts and generators get stacked up on top; nft seems to be solving it at the right level of abstraction. It is managing a very complex creature (the filtering capabilities of the Linux kernel), so it's representing very complex ideas, but building a basic firewall, or reading the rule set for a basic firewall, is not difficult (in this, or in iptables, though I can see how iptables can seem complicated, if you haven't used it a lot). But, this is definitely more readable for big rule sets than iptables.

So...I think this is focused on an easier user interface, in addition to solving a number of technical problems with iptables and paying off some of the technical debt of firewalls in Linux.
Probably many more than you expect.

I was certainly surprised by how many users there were when I took over responsibility for such mail systems five years or so ago.

In our case the answer is "thousands" -- and we're relatively small.

First, the terms, including payday loans, payday advances and cash loans are often, related to 1 another. Relating withal group of people, this sort of loans doesn't need true good reputation you will get. The direct lenders can handle doing basic steps for anyone thrilled to avail direct lender cash loans. You will find number legal benefits tithe person that wants to avail this kind of loans. The terms including payday cash loans, payday cash advances and payday advance are extremely relevant tithe other person. Consistent with someone, this type of loans doesn’t have a really real good reputation available on the market. The direct lenders can offer techniques forth entire individual ready to avail direct lender payday loans at http://www.personalcashadvance.com.
There are numerous legal benefits for your person that would like to avail such loans at http://www.personalcashadvance.com.
Pace helpful in relation to its payday loan direct may also haunt an individual that isn't conscious of comparable. By viewing the main cost, people will have a relatively misconception but after individuals have known about one other instruments linked to direct lender payday, we can eventually suppose, it's most affordable loan in the marketplace. Direct payday loan lenders would certainly help normal public to avail the money terms in quite simple terms. Expensive cost round the initial stage definitely will not be an issue for your customers which are really managing this valuable volume of loan. A pleasant cash amount emerged through direct lenders so long individual has challenges with insufficient money until he gets his next salary.
Interesting enough .NET doesn't use the "memory access" trick, instead is uses either a direct poll against a variable, or for user code can sometimes just rudely abort the running thread (if it knows it's safe to do).

See http://mattwarren.org/2016/08/08/GC-Pauses-and-Safe-Points/ for all the gory details
I think it's about scale. If you as a single individual discriminate, no big deal. If a nation or a large corporation discriminates, it causes serious problems.

Also, it's somewhat OK to discriminate against behavior that can be changed. So businesses are OK to be discriminated against, they are after all human creation. But we shouldn't discriminate on the basis of race or sex or ethnicity, because these are impossible to change.
.NET also has the TryStartNoGCRegion API, which allows you too prevent all GC collections (for a certain while).

See http://mattwarren.org/2016/08/16/Preventing-dotNET-Garbage-C... for the full details
Let's say there is three levels:

0 - I look at your profile with positive a priori (USA, China, Russia - best of the best are Japanese and Koreans)

1 - I look at your profile with a prejudiced view, I will default on declining your request (Algeria, Tunisia, Maroc and the whole of North-Africa; Germans accessarily)

2 - There is no way. I auto-decline. (France but ancestry from North-Africa) (unless you got stellar reviews and don't look like you're muslim anymore).

- Why?: I replied to that in another comment but basically a mix of past bad experience, of knowing the culture and mainstream mindset of the people of those countries and growing tired of getting asked intrusive questions about if I practice islam.
One idea/theory/conspiracy that I have is explained in this Yuri Bezmenov "Brainwashing a nation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5It1zarINv0 .

It says that you fund counter-culture movements as much as possible for them to go completely full-scale. Examples:

Black lives matter (which was a honest one at first) then went full kamikaze.
Let's bring 1M+ syrians, what could go wrong (when Albania was in ~civil-unrest in 1997 all borders closed).

Multiculturalism is ok friend. All cultures are equal (they're not, many suck, like roma example that I gave in another comment).
You can legally discriminate in some categories in shared living situations in many places although. You can legally say you want only female or male roommates, or no couples and so on. And you can do it for money, it doesn't matter if your renting or own the place.

If you are renting a place outright, then you cannot.

So in that aspect you are allowed to do that.
I'm totally ignorant. What does "do the ramadan" entail for you?

Can you just continue to refuse to rent to Tunisians and Moroccans? Does AirBnB have any way to detect that?

Does AirBnB have recourse against guests who leave the apartment trashed? Insurance, etc.? I wouldn't rent to people who would trash my place, either.
I'm interested in both but could not find any details what kind of output a solar roof would generate.

Also, I would be interested in know if it's possible to walk on top of a solar roof. People still need to be able to get on the roof to do work.
If some of us weren't constantly trying to get over our base instincts of discrimination we would still be in the times of segregation.

If your subconscious discrimination is constantly being pointed out through various channels, it starts causing you to question it. Obviously it's slow and might take generations, but that's the nature of the process. I will give you a personal example - I grew up in a country where making fun of gay/transgender people is very common. So subconsciously I judged and probably discriminated against gay/transgender people. When I moved to California and I heard and saw the messages of marriage equality I started to question my subconscious. Now I'm at the point where watching movies from my home country makes me cringe every time a crass gay joke gets cracked.
It actually might be better for a Vogon audience.
