Our systems don't need to be perfect they just need to be better than they are now.

You make a great point here, and one I hope you continue to push for. Statements like Why must inequality be forever? will obscure this point as it doesn't include the nuance of "not perfect, just better". You will always find people who will argue that "Why must inequality be forever" is naïve at best, needlessly preventing you from finding solutions you might agree on.
To be accurate, Sony did it first with their Xperia Z line.
People have a hard time getting over the concept that "purpose in life" must be given by an authority figure rather than being inherent in the way we're built as social and moral organisms.
Forget about whether IRC can do everything that Slack does. I can give you number of reasons (many already have in this thread and others) but it does not matter. Millions have decided that it is better for them. We can either decide they are all dumb or choose to throughly understand why they choose it.

I think that understanding why people prefer Slack over IRC is an excellent exercise for developers. I am highly doubtful that one can build software for non-developers without understanding this.
Forget the word "job" and instead use the word "value" to understand just how silly this idea is.

What he's saying is that no one needs to do anything of value anymore. You know, like the guy who built the house you live in, chopped down the trees it was built with, managed the project to build it, inspected the building to make sure it was put together correctly, etc...

Hundreds of people had jobs to make the shelter you value. They want something in exchange for that value. These pseudo intellectuals can't seem to understand this basic underpinning of civilization.

The exchange of value is as old as time and nothing is going to change that for a long time.

Self-worth through jobs is an important point.
Suppose you give everybody the same universal revenue (let us postulate everybody has the same rights).

The issue at stake, is that unless you also engineer them to be similar in every aspect (looks, intelligence, physical capability), there will be differences, and those differences will enable a new hierarchy, with people who have more, and others who have less, thus recreating a unequal base situation.

You don't get to solve the problem by making every human's base situation identical, you solve it by making the inequality device and the means to use it available to everybody.
Hi Alkonaut, i'm dev on the Roslyn team, and i work closely with the group working on LiveUnitTesting (LUT). By default LUT just runs all your tests in realtime, as you make edits. It smartly prioritized tests based on seeing what code was previously hit by tests.

Now, that said, such an approach would definitely not scale up to projects with huge amount of tests, or tests that take hours and hours to run. As such, LUT provides ways to create 'test sets'. i.e. sets of tests scoped down to just the work you're doing. The intent is to have flexible way to create these sets and the individual sets can be set up to run automatically or manually depending on your preference.

A nice things is that all of these test run outside of code VS. So the perf of the tests is far less impactful on VS than it would be otherwise. i.e. you don't have a single GC engine trying to manage all the memory for core VS as well as whatever garbage the tests are generating. With this, and with tests running at lower pri, your editing experience should not be impacted (and we take perf impact very seriously with this feature).

Cheers!

It's nothing like Montessori! Montessori have clearly defined materials and approaches, the only similar idea is perhaps the point of choosing what to study/learn, but even that is questionable.
On the surface...this looks great. The goal of "make everyone happy" doesn't seem that bad does it? Then why do I hate this so much?
I heard (secondhand info and all that) that there's some taxi startup somewhere that is using all Teslas, but instead of approaching Tesla about installing superchargers for their own use[1], they decided to just use the existing public superchargers, tying them up and creating long delays for anyone else who wants to use them. So it seems that this new rule is meant to combat that type of behavior.

[1] Apparently companies can approach Tesla about installing their own private superchargers, though I don't know the details.
You're describing me. I've always had an extremely hard time buying clothes or shoes because of that. It'd take me many years to actually go and do it, only when I really really needed it. One day I had to do it and I was so nervous while doing it that the salesgirl I was using stolen checks to do so.

I've mostly overcome it in some strange ways. I moved to another country, with a foreign language, and as a result I knew EVERYTHING I did would be severely judged one way or the other, and I would be "doing it wrong". Somehow that made my brain go all "Ah fuck it" mode so today I don't care anymore (for the most part). I just kinda get inside the store and play a role of someone who's buying clothes. I still have moments when I am unable to gather the energy to do it, but I know I can if I put myself into it.
Europe. :-) But even when I went to Florida on vacation last year I only saw a couple Teslas in three weeks.
psychotherapy is a form of treatment for many psychological disorders as defined by the DSM-V. The treatment varies based on the therapist's style and patient preference, but it always centers around talking to a licensed professional about the patient's feelings, behaviors, thoughts, dreams, fears. Through talking, the therapist can spot patterns of harmful and destructive beliefs and thought patterns. To use a bit of jargon, they can deconstruct a patient's defenses and suggest changes in thoughts/actions that - if followed - may often alleviate some or all of the symptoms.
Perhaps the thing that bothers you is that it's an inexact science ?

Acutally I trust Anker an Amazon because Anker is running the store, so their reputation is on the line.

I still shop Amazon for many categories, but my guard is always up. But for some categories like apparel, the Amazon experience is so horrible that I don't even think to look there.
The current Toyota car being sold can go 312 miles per 'tank', and takes 5 minutes to refuel. Which is better than Tesla EV cars.

It's much easier for trains, and larger vehicles to bring the infrastructure online. Existing natural gas pipeline and storage infrastructure can be used. Probably only a big company like Toyota could pull off getting the infrastructure in place for car sized vehicles. So far they have only done Japan, and parts of California.

I've seen TWh storage being quoted. Which is quite a lot higher than battery systems. Sure, if you can use the electricity directly, there is no need for storage. However, if you need to store a lot of energy, and you need the ability to send it around then gas isn't so bad.

Time will tell if it all works out I guess. But from the systems selling now, it seems like it's now viable.

Ask HN: How many of you have paid for sublime text?
I have recently moved to sublime away from years and years of vim over ssh. The price is pretty steep ($70).

ALL of my developer friends use it, and I don't know anybody that pays the $70 for it.

I'm curious how this pricing model has worked out for the developers vs either a lower price point (~$10) or a SaaS subscription (~$1-2/mo).
> as the old guards slowly die off, and it's better for FB to have their foot in the door. I believe that is based on the progress theory, that all societies progress in time towards similar structure,

Yes, but in which direction? Is Facebook, and especially its self-aware pile of billion$, pulling China west, or is it pulling the west to authoritarianism? Somewhere there's a line whose crossing will be fatal, and it's an open question which side of that line we're on right now.

Trump, Putin, Brexit, LePen make me doubt a lot of my assumptions about progress.
Amazing idea!

How do you plan to make money with it though?
> I'd be happy to hear examples how Python 3 helps us in computational sciences

Sir/Madam, I am here to make you happy then. Python 3's multiprocessing library is leaps and bounds "better" than python 2's. By "better", I mean faster(in my workloads) by 30-40%. If time is money, then that feature alone saves you both.

Addiction ?
As in David Shapiro, Neurotic Styles,
the standard neurotic behaviors are hysteria (my description -- over reacting, i.e., volume level too high), paranoia (i.e., threat detector too sensitive; false alarm rate too high), obsessive behavior (can't stop thinking about something), compulsive behavior (can't stop doing something), psychopathic passive behavior (volume level set too low?). The parenthetic descriptions are mine, and I'm no expert.

Obsessive and compulsive often go together and called OCD -- obsessive/compulsive disorder.

Well such neurotic behavior is commonly a case of anxiety.

Some experts claim that it is known that talk therapy doesn't work for OCD.

As in David V. Sheehan, M.D., The Anxiety Disease, even quite broadly across cultures, anxiety disease is four times more common in human females than human males. Then the author conjectures that a disease so pervasive, even one so harmful, must have some reproductive advantage.

To have a hint on just why so "pervasive", it is accepted that dogs can have OCD. So, the common ancestor with OCD went way, WAY back!

Of course, if we want to believe Sheehan on "reproductive advantage" and if we are willing to be politically incorrect and not gender neutral, then the obvious guess is that a woman with anxiety disease is more highly motivated to seek a man and a marriage with him, stay in the home of the marriage and not leave, be emotionally dependent on and physically close to her husband, become a mother, and be devoted to her children.

Then, once we start to believe this scenario, pattern, whatever, e.g., "A woman's place is in the home, barefoot, pregnant, dependent, chained to the stove.", etc., along comes more: Some experts believe that women with anxiety disease do not make good mothers, that is, there would be no "reproductive advantage". So, right, we have a contradiction. So, again right, we don't yet really understand. Right, we are stumbling around in the dark.

I'm not an expert, but I (A) have to question how much even the experts know about this subject and (B) have considered much more about this subject than I ever wanted to because my (late) wife had one heck of a case of anxiety disease, OCD, and clinical depression. To understand better how to help her, I got tutorials from several experts; it appeared that I learned a lot; it was certain I didn't learn enough.

It was also certain that the last medical experts who treated her didn't know enough either. Most definitely, in her case, anxiety disease did not have anything like reproductive advantage.
It is not in Facebook's monetary interest to identify or remove fake or questionable news from our news feeds. By it's nature, fake news is emotional. It causes an emotional, gut-level reaction ("OMG, must like and share this!") that promotes virality. Virality === $$$ for Facebook. I imagine they have already experimented with news feed filters that reduce noise and I'm sure the result was reduced engagement. As long as Facebook profits from attention, we should expect them to be tepid at best about any change that reduces their share of our attention.
By "we" you mean "I", right?

> Given this instantly solved the issue

This is the second time in these comments that you've insisted the change solved the issue. Elsewhere you said[1]:

> Cause of anxiety was wanting to live a lifestyle and not wanting to work a stressful job. Marriage and "permission" to quit solved the issue immediately.

Those were not the cause of her anxiety, and those changes did not solve the issue — they made her symptoms less expressive. He writes as much: "She still has anxiety, and I imagine she always will."

Your speak of severe anxiety like it's a minor bout with "the sads" that can be "solved". He's not talking about the common stresses you and I face daily. It's not multiple discrete episodes. Her anxiety defines much of their life, and even when it's not active, it's ready to be.

If the above quote represents your experience with this condition, I imagine the OP was written for you.

I would say "isn't working" in the sense that the vast majority are struggling to achieve or retain financial security, while a tiny minority have concentrated most of the weath for themselves. Also, the trend continues to concentrate wealth further, making it ever more difficult for the majority.

This is a recurring cycle, which has happened many times throughout history. Pretty much every time it ends with the elites killed, their wealth stolen, civilization collapsed or set back significantly, and a new cycle begins. I don't understand why the elites never see this coming, or take adequate steps to prevent it. All they have to do is be somewhat less greedy.
If you're using Linux you can use iptables to block any outbound packets that's destination IP isn't your VPN IP once OVPN is up; obviously on all interfaces except loopback and your OVPN interface. And remove it again once your drop your OVPN connection. You should also make sure that your routing table has an entry for your VPN IP (via your LAN interface / old default gateway), one singular default route that uses your OVPN interface and VPN internal remote address, and lastly that all cached routes are dropped on VPN connection.

Not all OVPN configurations will do this correctly, it depends on your distro / configuration.

For now. We used to say that information wants to be free. We can say today that money wants to be made. Eventually Google's growth will not be sustainable by creating or buying products and eventually killing them, they'll need new markets.
I actually though about this question as a way to understand the real value that internet has these days.
Since we're connected most of the time, it seems that internet is almost indispensable but i think that the quality of it is actually decreasing. I think the more users the internet has, the less quality information has because the racio of content vs quality since anyone posts anything these days. Also there's a big addiction because of the power that the internet brings (instant information at finger tips). I would go for a walk, watch a movie, listen to music or even go for a jog.

Hi Gacek,

> Integration of style-cop-like rules seems ok, my only worry is that all those features will make VS sluggish

They really shouldn't. We've actually spent the majority of our time in VS2017 on perf. So even with all the extra functionality, it's significant faster and more responsive across the board.

One thing that helps out here is that we don't run any of this analysis in the core VS process. As such, we are not contending for any resources that VS itself needs. i.e. a large source of hiccups in VS was due to the GC having to run right when a UI request was coming in. By moving this analysis out of proc we dramatically lighten the memory load in VS and we make it so that the GC runs less often, and takes less time. This clears up the UI thread more and makes things much more responsive.

> Either you are a member of your team, and you don't write code without them, or it's some old code, that shouldn't be automatically refactored if the refactoring is the only goal.

Or, you're a team that has decided on new, more stringent, coding requirements. And now you want to find and fix up all the violations. Or you're absorbing code by a different group with different coding patterns. Or, you just missed something during a code review and you want to go fix it up :)

If teams have a style preference, then it is definitely valuable to have automated tooling checking to ensure the style is maintained. Otherwise you're shifting the burden onto the team members, which is precisely what tooling like this is supposed to alleviate.

> And that braces refactoring seems a poor example.

NOte: we've added many style options in VS2017, and we're going to continue adding more. Options include:

1. Do you want field/property/methods/events qualified with "this." or not
2. Do you prefer predefined types (like "string") or do you prefer the .net fx types (like "System.String")
3. How and when do you use "var".
4. Do you want to use => for simple properties/methods/etc.
5. Would you prefer to use the more concise typechecking constructs over the previous approaches for type-checking.
6. Do you want to use ?? or ?. when applicable

etc. etc.

...because we don't need to? Earth is already full of plant life. Mars isn't.

Sorry for the overly blunt answer, because I know this isn't the question you're asking, but IMHO the question you're asking is based on a ridiculous premise.

We are polluting the Earth. Yeah, this is really bad for the Earth, and for us, but it isn't going to kill all life here. The thing that a "backup planet" is here to protect against is something like being struck by a meteor, or a plague, or nuclear war. Something where everybody dies very quickly, not something where life changes radically.

well they make roughly 62k from each margin. As soon as they begin to see the ROI from EV R&D (assuming in the future they do) which increases that margin, either by cutting costs associated with assembling a combustion engine and all the relevant components like the transmission, gearing, etc OR producing an engine that absolutely kills the biggest and baddest V12 engine. then it's not far fetched to say Ferrari might begin to steer towards making EV "cool".

La Ferrari's use of electric motor on top of the V12 may just be the beginning. It doesn't make sense for Ferrari to be "slow" which eventually will be the case when EV's instant torque + new lightweight materials + less traditional components adding weight.

It might be that the baseline EV model from Ferrari will be at the track spec cars like the Scuderia, Speciale series but with all of the ameneties and technological innovation that you find on a Tesla, which shows a whole different demand for cars that excel on the technological front.

That might also win Ferrari more customers, people who thought Ferraris were "uncomfortable" or "I just want from A to B while my car drives me home" etc.

All of this is pure speculation of course.

Can you give one (preferably two) specific examples of respected economists who are questioning 101 level econ principles?

I've studied economics at the college level. I follow economics news and am not aware of economists questioning 101 level principles. Many of these are relatively simple and intuitively obvious ones (once you wrap your head around them), much like 101 level maths.

Consequently I am inclined to disbelieve the claim that economists are questioning econ 101 principles, unless you can provide some examples. More than one example would be most convincing since you're claiming this is a general trend. Journal article links would be appreciated.
