Air conditioning. I'm in the south and central air made it where nobody goes out and sits on their porch and socializes any more. Nobody is forced to meet their neighbors anymore.
When I have access to my bookmarks later today, I have no problem providing countless prominent individuals in the "SJW Sphere" to prove my point that they use it positively and someone less engaged could easily see it as a positive term.

>I have been reading up on politics or engaged in political discussion online for maybe ~4 hours daily for the past two years.

The exact opposite of not being politically engaged and having the few times you've seen the term be in a positive usage...

I've been actively against SJW's and every niche they try to get their grimy paws on for the past four to five years. Almost all of my political engagement has been contrary to SJW talking points - not because of what they argue for, but because of how they go about it.

I use it negatively and have no issue with saying I do. I'm around crowds that exclusively only use it negatively. I also see it used positively, or at least tongue-in-cheek all the time. If someone uses the term and claims they did not mean to use it with negative connotations - I believe their intentions.

I'm not pretending it is common. I'm declaring it can be, is used, was used, and has been used positively and neutrally and that people still do so. Prior to #GamerGate turning it into a slur the Wikipedia article even mentions it was a positive thing. It's very easy to not be actively aware of #GamerGate or TiA (TumblrInAction) and outside of those two bubbles you're not very likely to even run into the term "SJW".

sickbeard denies the intent and claims to have viewed it in a neutral, if even slightly positive, light. Arguing otherwise is dishonest and viewing things from your own viewpoint. Projecting intention where there is none. Ironically that is something people are sick of SJW's doing. And yes, I used it negatively there.
That is pretty old, considering what S3 has changed in the past two years. In particular, it talks about reading S3's us-standard region from the East and West coasts, and that has evolved to where us-standard (which is really us-east-1) is now the same as all other regions when it comes to consistency (presumably because all requests physically go to the East coast now, but I haven't tested that):

Haha, thank you for all the ideas. They are pretty cool!

Thank you for the idea with the new name. You're right, it sounds a bit more suitable.
They are asking how the generated gradient from the script was incorporated into the final image of the band promo.
When I think about writing my own language, I think of something with as few parenthesis as possible and all the examples use Lisp.
Interesting article. I just featured a guest on my show talking about computational psycholinguistics and using Language as a Window to the Brain. He became interested in the subject after reading about the famous "nun study" predicting dementia.

Scout specifically get in to nature, and there are several articles/studies claiming there are positive mental health effects of being in nature, so that (or the the combination of that plus what you were saying) could be part of whats going on.
how about this: some time ago when the news that tortures did not produce any valuable intel to counter terrorism was wildly reported in USA, the Polish media instead run a story about how terrorists were planning attacks in Poland during mayor holidays. See: no real opinion is conveyed here explicitly, but by controlling which and when facts get reported you get the same result as directly stating the opinion (in this case defending the need for doing nasty things to fight terrorism).
Isn't this just due to population density? If you live in a dense area the schools have to be fairly close together (or absolutely sprawling), so most would be in walking distance for the students.

In the states a great many kids live 5+ miles from school, which is a pretty long walk for a first grader.
Seconded. I'm not Norwegian but I've been living in Norway for 30 years and my children grew up just like that. Of course they were in fact dependent on me for transport to sports events (handball, archery) but these were often more than 100km round trips, just impractical with public transport (too many changes of bus and train) and anyway we would take turns driving a car full not just our own children.

As for school trips, one thing stands out, compared to the UK at least, and that is that they were expected to take a knife with them. Can't sharpen a stick to hold a sausage over a fire otherwise.
The BBC, CNN and similar. Especially on Islam.

It is not actually about what they report. It is all about what they don't report. Left wing and right wing propaganda are not the same. Right wing propaganda tells you what you must believe. Left wing propaganda simply leaves out the truth. Either way you have distortion but the methods are very different. NPR is not better than Fox News. Once you realize this, thou shalt be enlightened.

Let's take the case of Islam.

The working class is more religious than the middle class. The middle class mostly treat religion as a weird weekend hobby and don't really think the believers are serious. Deep down they think, these people are not being serious.

Well, I came out of a cult, do not believe in a personal God, and I can tell you these people really do believe in their thing. Belief is real, even if I disagree with it.

So when the working class look to Islam, they see religion and when the middle class look to Islam, they see politics. They simply leave out the religion itself. It is not about right and wrong, it is just that they are seeing different portions of the elephant. When a journalist is captured by ISIS he thinks he might get out alive by a ransom or prisoner trade. The working class understand he'll die because he is a kaffir. Do you see?

This explains the bifurcation between working and middle class perspectives. The worldview of the middleclass has no value at the resolution of the working class. I think George Orwell was one of the few middle class journalists who truly understood his people.

With the possible exception of Julian Assange, there are few working class journalists in the mainstream press, not even at Breitbart.

If you're honest, you have to ask yourself this question:

Which is the more likely?

That journalists were in a bubble? Or the entire working class? Look at the map of voting results by distinct. It is an ocean of red.
Maybe not in HN. :-)
Wow, your calculations are totally awesome (and seem correct)!

It looks like our estimation of "Hyperloop thermal expansion problem solution" feasibility now comes down to your last sentence:

> I wasn't able to find cost figures for roller bearing capable of handling a 36 ton load.

I don't know, railroad car steel wheel? Max load per axle for train cars: 26 - 40 ton. Searching on alibaba.com for "train car wheelset" and "train car bogie" never comes up with more than $2500 per piece. Maintenance seems doable, if we look at millions of train car running around the planet.

> These are the questions that would need to be answered by a hyperloop proponent, not me. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. The only claim I'm making is that no one has proposed a solution. The two sentences that the Hyperloop white paper devotes to this issue is not a solution.

Yeah, I agree with that sentiment. Luckily, we are not the people making an actual practical decision on Hyperloop. Like you said, we are just trying to get our minds off politics.
Ah! I just saw what was being pointed out. The focus of the picture made it seem like it was the top sail of the middle mast, not the flag at the stern. :D
Probably most effectively done in the movie Se7en.
It is not that hard. I work on a similar system, with a demand of maybe 30 minutes(take a guess, there are not may of us) over the entire year.

What I do is, have an active-active system in a data center, and with another similar system in another DC.

Having said that, your average online stock brokers do the same thing.
Did you live anywhere outside the US for a long time?

In any case, I grew up in Korea in the late 90s and it was pretty much as described in the article, without the niceties like designated safe building or a warning chime to remind kids to go home.

I walked to and back from school every day, and oftentimes went to Sunday school, library, etc. by myself. I was also given money to purchase school supplies for various school activities everyday. I also knew how to take the subway/bus to get to my grandparents' place on days my mom would be there after school.

Every Saturday all the students helped clean the school and we had rotating duties to collect milk cartons, clean the bathroom, bring lunch from the kitchen in bulk to serve to classmates, etc. Mind you, this was all in 1st and 2nd grade.

When I moved to the States in 3rd grade we had tasks like whiteboard erasing, door holding, etc. but that's about the only similarity I found.
To me, this means Fisher's principle belies the notion that males are a cost borne by a species.

The output for that version of the painting looks similar. I just image searched for "kupka" and tried a few different results.

I think there's a bug in there that flipped a few columns - but I actually really like the output better that way: http://imgur.com/RErXOF6
Firstly, a X% tax cut means a X% reduction in amount of tax paid, not a X% increase in after-tax income. So $10,322 -> $9000 would be a 12.8% tax cut.

Secondly, you're forgetting standard deductions. It's $12,600 today; the Trump plan is to raise it to $30,000. So it would actually be:

$36,000 Current: $2,582 (7.2%) Trump: $720 (2.1%)
$75,000 Current: $8,433 (11.2%) Trump: $4,200 (5.6%)
etc…

(I hate the guy and don't think this tax plan is a terribly great idea, but the math above is wrong)
Also, even the machines that generate paper trails are never actually recounted unless there's a problem. If you don't test your restore procedure then the value of a backup is effectively zero.

A lot of the paper trails aren't necessarily even in machine-readable form. We are drastically unprepared for a large-scale recount (anything more than a county is going to take weeks+).

Also, the backup is effectively the checksum here too - unless you actually look for an error, how would you ever know if one occurred? We need x% of counties to be randomly recounted from the paper trail to validate the tabulations.
Yes. A lot of these prototypes were documented in the 1997 book "AppleDesign: The Work of the Apple Industrial Design Group" by Kunkel and English (now out of print).

some tangentially related systems have fallbacks to different wavelengths that penetrate better in sub-optimal conditions. I don't know if it's applicable here, but I imagine it could be.
Erlang isn't necessarily better than Go in this regard. Since Erlang is interpreted and everything has to copied between processes, Go is bound to be faster than Erlang, especially when it comes to parallelism. Go is also statically typed, which in my experience makes it easier to avoid bugs in large teams.

Erlang, however, is much better at distributed concurrency. There are few who suits this use case better.

As in all cases. Use the best tool for the job.
I love it when articles HN takes me down a rabbit hole. These stamps are interesting but the one from Pitcairn caught my eye.

I had no idea that Pitcairn existed, it's a little island inhabited by descendants of the mutineers of a famous English ship called the Bounty[1]. It's inhabited by only 60 people[2] and the only settlement is the 2nd smallest capital in the world.

It's even got it's own TLD: .pn[3]

Whatever. Just because the language is effectively broken doesn't make practices in other languages irrelevant.

Classic. All languages stink, somewhere. The classic programmer Dunning-Kruger mistake: evaluating one language without self-awareness of all of the (probably unconscious) cost/benefit optimizations that mostly apply to the other language. This is like Smalltalkers and C++ programmers in the 90's arguing about the design decisions that went into Java.

Your definition of "effectively broken" actually means "doesn't fit my preferences." I'd expect "effectively broken" to more usefully mean "basically, very few people want to use it in production." Smalltalk now fits that. (Mostly through bad business/marketing decisions and incompatibility with mainstream programming expectations.) I bet there's many, many languages you might even call "elegant" that fit that as well.

basically promotes C styles errors and bad macros through go gen.

Funny, but my experience is that Golang basically eliminates my dealing with those. I'm writing an MMO, and my debugging time in that category amounts to literally 2 minutes. (Basically, oh duh, that member function should take a pointer reference. Otherwise, it can't mutate state!)

When I say the language is broken, look at Go type system, then look at how Go reflection makes the language look a dynamically typed one.

If you're such a poor programmer, that you can't get about the same level of type safety around array code in a Golang environment, as say, in a C++ environment, then just find a different language. On the other hand, if you can show an increase in productivity doing it your way in some kind of A/B quantitative comparison on actual production level code, then go ahead and take that show on the road. Go to conferences, write papers, and get yourself a nice consulting business preaching your gospel, getting paid, and advancing the almost-a-field of programming. Otherwise, just stop making noise and trolling.

To be fair, there are some languages with pathologies that are publicly apparent, like PHP with webapp security and C with security exploits. There are problems with programming in the large with C++ -- some involving the very features you probably think are admirable. If you have experience with Golang in production, and you've tried mitigating the type-system weaknesses to get compile-time or test-time warnings out of the tooling, and this incurred your company some cost, then talk about that. Otherwise, you are just making worthless angry programmer noise devoid of grounding in actual practice.
Texas is bigger than California by area, but Alaska is bigger than either by area. So a well informed reader would look at the statement: "You're the biggest state in the country" and make the correct assumption that the speaker was talking about population and not area.
Ask HN: Which is your favorite source of non Tech news?
I'm striving to find a news outlet that has an RSS feed that:
- it's not filled with irrelevant news, such as this: https://www.rt.com/usa/366138-harambe-vote-president-us/
- has global view, not just us or a specific country
- ideally publishes 10/15 news per day, no more

I'm currently ad Economist paid subscriber, but that's a weekly update.

Suggestions?
Compared to C it is safer. I never saw a segmentation fault, only some panic errors with bound checking.

I prefer go to python or javascipt. It's far too easy to make errors in them. Minimal static code checking.
I've done pair programming. With the right partner it is productive and produces better code. The person at the keyboard is at a disadvantage because the partner has more "think time". Anyway, I found it pleasant.

The KEY problem is management. My partner always wanted to type so we ended up with me doing the thinking/review while he worked out the syntax. When we got our performance reviews my partner got a raise and I got a bad review. My manager believed that he did all the work and I just sat around talking.

Beware the 'review' trap...
There are definitely issues, but compare it to a third-world country and you'll see that its pretty good. Not perfect, but overall, good.
It was pretty bad that easy_install came out with no easy_uninstall. Plus some packages are in your system's package manager (which I think is great because I'm sick of every language having its own package manager when my system's (Gentoo) is better) and some aren't, or the latest versions aren't. Plus there's the virtualenv stuff, or the general problem of your dev environment not matching the deploy environment. Needing to have both Python2 and Python3 on your system in some cases. Some packages have C/C++ code so you need a compiler, and all the dependencies that implies. On Windows I think Python development is a joke, last time I did anything extensive there I think I ended up installing Enthought's distribution and picked off from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ as needed. I don't see how the Go situation on Windows could be worse than that.

I'm not a huge stickler for non-local consistency -- one of the things I like about Nim is its apathy about naming conventions (foobar is the same symbol as foo_bar or fooBar, func(arg) is the same as arg.func()...) -- so that's probably why I don't find the consistency factor a huge issue. When a language and its ecosystem has it, it's nice, but when it doesn't, it's not really a thing that annoys me.
Deal with it!

The election was won according to the previously set rules. That's why no one paid any attention to California. If the rule was to win the popular vote, you would see a lot different campaign with both the candidates paying much more attention to states like California.
If it's above main then there's no longer an implicit prototype and you're no longer replicating the problem.
"no actual, living person could"

It doesn't have to be one person. It could be multiple teams of people.

They don't have to intervene all over the country, either. They could make a huge difference by affecting a relatively small number of votes in a handful of battleground states where the race is very close.

In the case of Bush v Gore, it would have been sufficient to make a difference in only one state.
And yet, the least car-dependent areas of the US (Manhattan, downtown SF, downtown Chicago) are where it'd be least appropriate to let a child wander alone.
And sure, Facebook and Twitter played a part in this information aspect certainly. But companies like Salesforce that automate people out of work, these companies have zero accountability for the people who get laid off when eliminated with CRM workflows for example. There's no framework for understanding the consequences of who you eliminate when you automate. How are these people supposed to feed their families when you've automated them out of work?

As a tech worker, I've been responsible for eliminating far more American jobs, many in the heartland, than any Mexican immigrant ever has. What have I done to deal with the consequences of that? Many, many people have been laid off because of the things I've built in the last 15 years. I ignored them, told myself they weren't valuable anyhow. We owe these people solutions for basic income, we owe them more opportunities for jobs out in the red states, the red counties of america. We created this. All of it.

In a code base there ideally should be a single coding standard. Achieving this ideal always seems impossible. But various languages have various tools to enable mass reformatting to fix this if there is no current consistency. This turns the problem from being a technical one to a social one.

Good luck with reaching agreement with your fellow developers...

Really?

When I read HN, I got the feeling, most political comments that get upvoted are phrased like "I know everyone here is a liberal leftist, BUT I have to tell you about my conservative right opinion right now, even if you don't wanna hear it!"

But I never really encountered these "liberal leftist" majority here. Just in places of the Internet that don't have anything good to say about HN.
My one gripe is how it handles large files. It's definitely an issue because if you fuck up and "accidentally" open one, it's a bitch to get Atom to stop (you basically have to kill the process, which always feels heavy handed) and basically drop to less, which sucks because the whole point of using Atom is to get away from the terminal.

I definitely still use it, though, for python projects smaller than 1,000 loc.
This doesn't make any sense. If you run to return a dropped phone/wallet to someone they don't accuse you of pickpocketing them. Not unless you maybe drained the wallet of cash first.

I've handed people stuff they've dropped many times and usually get a polite thank you for the effort. The idea that they would be hostile to you is just crazy.
Since those other companies don't talk much about what's in their labs, for all we know they are already ahead of Facebook. Also, consider that Facebook may have hired people with years or decades of experience from those very companies.
