i didn't mean 'how convenient' in any sarcastic way, i was literally saying.. it's convenient that your getaway island also has a military. most don't.

and nobody said any of it was rational. it's just what people do. i live in earthquake country so i have water and canned food and a means of defense. some people have taken this mindset to an extreme, including buying large homes on remote island countries and a private jet for trips there.

Quite frankly, I don't believe you. I work in a very liberal area, in a very progressive company, have had encountered nothing like what you describe, whether at my present employer or any previous one.
we build hardware (flair.co) and have just started shipping (woot!) and I think the trick with hardware is figuring out how to do the 'software wrapped in plastic'. If goPro was quicker to move into video storage and editing to go with their cameras or fitbit managed to push on fda approval and share data with your doctor (or their own doctors as a service) they could do some really cool stuff (and have really cool revenue...). Its not that as a stand alone product its not compelling - reminder, they IPOd... Looking at them and calling them failures is such a myopic perspective if you talk to any preseed, seed or A stage company. The trick is building a killer product and not worrying about the service if you can. Then transition over to a service model, selling leads, data, tools etc. If you can layer on services early on, thats fine, but not needed. If you never do it, it will come back to bite as challengers show up and erode margins and you saturate your 'ideal customer' market.
Or coincidence.
Perhaps the OP is referring to installing packages with Homebrew.
I appreciate the advice. I rather like Debian, personally, and am kinda past the point where playing with different distros is enjoyable. Debian is an extremely solid base on which to build anything newer I need, and it just works[1].

I'm resigned to the crappy state of window managers on Linux. I don't believe it has gotten materially better since the 90s. Honestly, to me, that's fine, if the annoyances stay at a dull roar (which basically means avoiding the slough of despond called Gnome[2]). I use a tiling WM called awesome[3], and for me it sucks slightly less that the other ones I've tried in the last couple years.

[1] Additionally, on one machine at home I have Windows running in a VM with VGA-passthrough, and that's enough of a hassle to get working that I really don't relish learning yet another checklist for, e.g., generating initramfs or whatever.

[2] Yeah, apparently some people honestly like it. Good for them. I have no idea what's going on in the project, but the actual product exhibits all of Apple's UX arrogance bundled with only a tiny fraction of Apple's UX ability. Whatever the story is, it took me perhaps 10 minutes before wishing I could do something more violent than `apt-get purge`.

Comparing AI and humans in games is not useful unless all limitations are controlled for both parties. The artificial intelligence only gets the video output of the game and output to simple controls with a human reflex - like lag on how long it takes for the controls to take effect. It just comes down to the scientific method.

Or because diversity initiatives have poisoned the hiring process/pool to such a degree that you have to be careful about the very people whose hiring you're supposed to encourage?

Try cutting down gradually, eventually getting to a single cup in the morning. Supplement with decaf. Then just decaf. I've found I miss coffee more than cafeene now so I still drink decaf. Difference is I can sleep and don't feel the awful stress anymore.
I forgot to write my conclusion because I got so livid and carried away about how much Fitbits suck, so here it is:

I don't think Fitbit's troubles are necessarily an indictment of the hardware industry as a whole. I think they're particular to that company having a horrible product and horrible hardware engineering, to the point where poor build quality actively repulses users rather than creating repeat customers. GoPro similarly has lots of issues that I've heard from others, but I don't have first-hand experience like I do with Fitbit so I won't spend any further time on it.

Contrast with, say, Apple, which is still a hardware company more so than it is anything else, and has become the largest publicly traded company in the world by doing so. I'm not a huge Apple fan by any means, but at least the devices don't suffer from such horrible flaws. My next laptop might not be another Macbook Pro, but it's at least in the running as an option because I've liked the one I currently have. Fitbit does not have that same charity from me.

I am a tad bit confused at the premise of the article. It is primarily complaining that race (or gender) is just one dimension of diversity. To the extent of my anecdotal experiences, most diversity advocates whole-heartedly agree.

The example he uses, Project Include, specifically cites, "gender, race, class, age, religion, disability, education, sexual orientation, and others" and calls it a multi-dimensional problem [1].

Example: cis white men from poor or troubled families are most definitely included in this definition of under-represented minorities. It maybe difficult to explicitly measure, but they are definitely included.

There maybe specific organizations that work with a single dimension but I would like to see data on this supposed proliferation of solely race/gender based diversity organizations. Lots of good organizations work with other dimensions of minority representation. Stride[2], focussed on socio-economic conditions, in the bay area comes to mind.

My main problem is that despite the "polished" feel neither elementary nor it's apps are as good as their marketing. Geany beats Scratch with closed eyes, Quod Libet or Banshee can actually handle large music collections without crashing, and the terminal should work as a terminal and not as MS Word ( I'm looking at ctrl+c ).
"Regardless of etymological technical "truths", can you really say with intellectual honesty that there's no masculine connotation inherent in "guys"?"

I'm sure there is to certain people. But to me, my family, friends, and coworkers I have not found it to be the case, no.

In fact, I hear female coworkers use the term neutrally every day. We as a team even use the term over conference calls with people all across the country and I have yet to hear anyone take issue, offer correction, or purposefully use alternative terminology.

I simply don't see this as a problem, nor can I understand why it needs to be purposefully corrected. It's the same PC attitude that causes people to take issue with those who call African Americans black. To me, black is a more useful term. If it wasn't in my repertoire, I'd have no way to distinguish Idris Elba from the rest of an essentially all white cast ...

Here's a fun test. Tell me which gender connotation the following terms hold: Cheerleader, Usher, Flight Attendant, and Comedian. If you said female, male, female, male, you'd be wrong as all are gender neutral.

If DeepMind is planning on building an AI that can beat the best human SCII player, they have their work cut out for them.

I'm not sure how familiar people are with StarCraft II, but at the highest levels of the game, where player have mastered the mechanics, it's a mind game fueled by deceit, sophisticated and malleable planning, detecting subtle patterns (having a good gut feeling on what's going on) and on the pro scene knowledge of your opponent's style.
> The argument goes that if you fall into one of those groups, you are generally helped by being what a lot of people think someone in that role should look like, at a minimum unconsciously and in some cases consciously.

That applies to every single occupation on earth. For instance, it is very unlikely that I will be hired as an English teacher, even though I speak perfect english and grew up in the states.

It's just funny that people want to practice selective diversity. "Hey we want clean high paying tech jobs! But we also don't want to encourage women to become sewage cleaners because those jobs aren't cool. What about the diversity in basketball, both college and pro? Shouldn't there be boot camps targeting asian males to increase diversity on campus?"

I mean, this goes for a lot of white Americans as well. The majority of us in GenX/Y (I'm early 30s, whatever I am) are second to third generation and our families came over in the 1910-1950s with zero prospects. I'm third generation, father and grandfather both US military (raised on a Tobacco farm), father drafted for Vietnam, not sure if my grandfather was drafted but he was a pilot at one point. Both sides of my family are from the Italian and German slums of NY (respectively). In fact, they lived in the Love Canal which was absolutely abysmal and thyroid cancer is rampant through the women in my family because of the toxic waste dumped there.

The absolute disdain between my German and Italian family is immeasurable. It's kind of hilarious being an outsider to what they went through.

I honestly can't think of one white person I know whose family has been in the USA for more than 2-3 generations. I know a LOT of Mexicans who have been here in TX for hundreds of years which I think is incredibly interesting. I'm so used to my friends having barely any history beyond the 1920s.

I don't share that optimism. I think there is a normalcy bias at work here. It's going to catch up with us all at once.
I don't agree with this. This was more true with the original StarCraft but with SCII a lot of the fine graining micro is automated. And although the computer will be able to reach 1000s of APM, a solid strategy with perfect timing will defeat it.

It doesn't matter how well you split your zerglings or move your marines, when there are tanks busting through your front door.

Touch buttons on the stove (assuming they are like the ones we have at home) mean the stove is just one flat glass pane that is impossible to make dirty.

Yes, the buttons are kinda retarded and unresponsive, but if you fry something and have droplets of burned oil fly everywhere you just take a cloth with a little detergent and it just wipes off.

This is why Trump will win. I'm not joking.
You make an excellent point. I fall into more than one of the buckets you list, and it's definitely the case that there is unlikely a "one size fits all" solution here. However I just have this sense that there is an intersection of basic functionality for using "number types" that neither Rust nor the num crate really supports terribly well. Maybe I'll change my mind as I use it to build out some projects.
But will these employees face a glass ceiling in there later carrears.
Perhaps I've been ignoring much of it because I've always ruled out iOS due to the walled garden. On the other hand, most of these features are available on the Nexus (and other Android phones) as well. The only catch is it conveniently doesn't do anything to isolate your private info from Google (or your OEM if you screwed up and didn't get a Nexus/OnePlus). I think it would be extremely powerful marketing if Apple did a case study of the kinds and amounts of data being betrayed by competitor's phones compared to iPhones. A nice bar graph illustrating the data minded from each phone, next to a much shorter bar for the iPhone would create many converts. Demonstrating what kinds of creepy things can be extrapolated from each data set would drive the nail home even harder.

I agree that this would piss off developers who value this kind of data robbery - but Apple is in a much better position to double down on selling quality apps that treat their users as customers instead of products than Google (based on the statistic that iPhone users purchase more apps).
I recently replaced a Samsung washer after the thing started to stain my clothes with rust that was getting generated from the internal parts of the machine chipping and exposing the rustable interior to the water. Got a Speed Queen and am happy.
I have to disagree. Fifteen Million Merits is still my favorite episode, and what's more, I don't think it's about the intrusive ranking at all (meta-point: one of the best things about Black Mirror, IMO, is that people will often disagree on not only the quality of an episode, but what the episode was even about. That's how you know it's good).

I think the moral of that story was the inherent futility of ever rebelling against the System. Most people don't try, most who try fail, and even for the one-in-a-million who succeed, the System just instantly reconfigures itself to absorb your rebellion as part of it. Other works have done the "revolutionaries always become the new dictators" shtick, but Fifteen Million Merits did it better because it shows that this process doesn't even require a villain (like in, say, Animal Farm). Everyone in that episode, even the Simon Cowell stand-in, was just punching a clock and doing their job; the suppression of revolt was purely an emergent property of the system... as it usually is in real life.

It was the bleakest, most nihilist bit of television I think I've ever seen, made better by the fact that it wasn't empty "dark for dark's sake" like Twilight Zone-esque twist endings tend to be. I had to go for a walk afterward. I don't see how you can't like it... but like I said, the fact that people can disagree so profoundly is one of the show's best qualities, so I'll upvote you anyway and not hold it against you :)
True, few in the Linux and BSD community are willing to put in the time to make things as polished as they could be.

A programming language can't anticipate every possible thing someone might want to do (or else every program would be one line: doMyThing()), the best it can do is provide tools for building the final product. Rust is pushing hard on making it easy for people to build safe, zero-cost abstractions that are reusable, via generics and especially cargo, so you often don't have to implement things yourself (or: don't have to implement things yourself twice), even if it isn't literally in the language.

> though i don't see how that differs from a generic accessor method or an overloaded operator

Err, it does all the bounds checking automatically? I thought you wanted these features without having to implement them yourself, but apparently writing accessor methods or an overloaded operator is OK too?!?
The headline is clickbait, you say?
The name "serverless" will and is likely doing everything I'm sure it was intended to do... provoke curiosity, signal "this is different than just another PaaS", sound cool and maybe polarize or incite those who get angered over technically less-than-accurate names for frameworks. I'm both surprised and not surprised that HN comments have been so relentlessly focused on this seemingly trivial matter. I can understand that the engineer/scientific mindset would likely take issue with this name but I think the "I'm a human that's grown up in an age of omnipresent marketing-fu." part of you needs to realize that all ideas survive and die on the act of finding a place in your brain- a hook so that next time you discuss with someone their need to scale infinitely/instantly without provisioning containers or an IoT device that only needs logic run in the cloud every 5mins you'll be more likely to remember and suggest: "Well there is this framework with a terribly misleading and inaccurate name that may help you called serverless."

I don't think Trump would pack those venues so full of people if he wasn't somehow in tune with what a whole lot of people are thinking. He is easy to dismiss. He is not a politician. He is not pre-packaged or polished. He is not particularly well educated. But he's right--the US is not living up to its ideals. We can even run a clean election.

America ended in 2008. We've been living off of a corpse ever since. At some point everyone is going to know it.

From The Diversity Myth:

"...a woman might ‘realize’ that she had been ‘raped’ the next day or even many days later. Under these circumstances, it is unclear who should be held responsible. If the alcohol made both of them do it, then why should the woman’s consent be obviated any more than the man’s? Why is all blame placed on the man? "

I'm curious what people think about this.
I guess there will usually be plenty of qualified applicants for any particular position. Typical hiring processes may give scope for picking the one that will fit in best culturally, which would be the opposite to diversity.
Ask HN: Why can't we just use this idea for clean URLs without IDs?
I am here to ask and test the validity of this idea:

most sites have urls e.g.:

example.com/object/{ID}/{SLUG}

or

example.com/object/{SLUG}-{ID}

where {ID} corresponds to the object to fetch from the database assuming the database is too big and that's why we don't address the sql using the slug (in some cases the slug even needs some computations to be reconstructed so it's impossible to address using {SLUG} directly). So {SLUG} does nothing practically except for SEO.

Why can't just we use the cleaner

example.com/object/{SLUG}

And when the URL is request, we hash the slug using a 32-bit or 64-bit hash algorithm, and lookup the sql using the hash using an additional integer column in the sql table containing the corresponding hash value?

What is wrong with this idea?
Why isn't that just built-in?
So? The point is, there is no up to date version of Skype for Android. There is one for Android-based Google Play platform, but none for Android itself.

Android lacks apps so badly it's almost unusable. People should stop calling Android open when in fact they mean Google Play platform and do not realize what's really left there when you leave it pure Android.

As Kanye said once, "They rewrite history; I don't believe in yesterday."

I have seen some startups even use this technique themselves to "erase" past or exited co-founders. Once you edit the AngelList, Crunchbase, team page, etc, you really can erase the existence of co-founder or early team member(s) if desired because eventually no one will look hard enough to find the early material.

It's something that bothers me a lot actually. I'm working on a project now to track founders and early teams across startups to get a better understanding of how often it happens and if there are any discernible patterns.

Hi Nic, no rules against self-posting as long as it's interesting articles like yours and not just self promotion.

I know a bit about quantum computing too so I did a high-level fact checking of your post without finding any bugs. Impressed you managed to do math equations on medium. It is a bit long though... saved to continue later.

On a different note and for a different perspective, you should check out this excellent review paper by Sara Robinson, Emerging Insights on Limitations of Quantum Computing Shape Quest for Fast Algorithms: https://www.siam.org/pdf/news/100.pdf It's an old article, but all the points she raises are still valid. I think it's going to be REALLY hard to get large number of coherent qubits to do computations.
