Fair enough. But having worked with Fortran code that was designed in pen on yellow legal pads, typed in, and run on a suite of standard test problems chosen to expose subtle bugs, I have learned to respect an archaic engineering style of which few people are capable nowadays. Sometimes code is essentially "finished;" you'd be amazed at how rarely it has bugs. It should be changed only with care and for good reasons, not because the programming language changed to conform to some new fad.

(FWIW, I'd probably write most new numerical code in Julia rather than Fortran 20xx, and either call into existing Fortran via FFI, or drive it from the command line with some scripting language.)
In Germany and Japan the police and political infrastructure was left mostly intact, and people were dismissed or arrested after being investigated.

In Iraq the entire government including the police were basically disbanded without warning which lead to immediate chaos.
Just wanted to add that both were a big help and that my insurance is active again. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I'll have to pay it forward somehow.
Sounds like a good idea. Wonder what the maintenance costs would be.
are you meant to be able to chain commands on your own territory and not into neutral or enemy spaces? if you don't know about move chaining your at a huge disadvantage.

If you have contacts in the industry, you could use something like sharetribe to see if you can build a marketplace: https://www.sharetribe.com/

It is super easy to get going with their hosted service. (Not an employee, just a satisfied user.)

Of course that turns this from a technical problem to a marketing and sales problem, which may be less appealing.
Definitely, if there was another viable smartphone platform I'd be all over it, cause Android is a burning dumpster fire that Google has no intention of cleaning up. Funnily enough, Microsoft with the same OEMs (Samsung, LG, HTC, etc) on the same SOCs got the drivers they needed upstreamed so they could provide multi-year updates to their devices.

Google could get the drivers for most Android phones mainlined if they wanted to push the issue, but it isn't a concern for them apparently.
I still wonder if they really wanted Trump or they have something they can control him with. What scares me more than this is the idea that our democracy is inherently under the control of or at least manipulatable by other countries. Plus if we don't know this is the case how do we counteract this?
SVB and Stripe are complying with all of our legal obligations. You'll forgive me if I generally abstain from more detailed commentary on internal operations of my employer.

I do not believe your understanding of the regulations to be accurate. Are you of the opinion that it is impossible for e.g. Toyota to have a US bank account? No, of course not. That would be crazy. So if the mental model has a Toyota-shaped hole, what other holes does it have?
I dunno about retail. But look into IT jobs in the defense sector or government, or higherEd. Eg, a job that is stable and not based on VC or grant-based; not some tenuous startup.

Look into your local 4 year university job sites (usually jobs.*.edu)
Someone on HN posted a link to this article that compared Japanese zoning laws to American zoning laws.[0] There was also some interesting discussion.[1] The reason I thought of this is because in Japan the broad outlines of zoning laws are made at the national level, and cities can only make exceptions to them, unlike in America where cities make their zoning laws out of whole cloth. A bill like this is a small movement closer to the Japanese system.

Fun game! Tutorial interface was a little lacking, it felt like the information went by too quickly. The army selection process is a little difficult. Sometimes I'm just trying to highlight the army, and I accidentally split my army. It also took me a while to realize that while moving an army through your territory, you can chain moves without reselecting, but you have to reselect after every conqueror move. I like that mechanic, just didn't realize how it worked at first. Overall, love the mechanics of the game, just needs a little better tutorial and cleaning up the selection commands (would prefer a different key to split the army, like pressing "h" for example). As a last note, I accidentally turned my wifi off in the frenzy of selecting, but the game was fortunately able to reconnect, so thank you for that! Hope this feedback is helpful, good luck with your game :)
The incentive to make money and be rewarded for work is still there.

Regarding the unfairness concern, this is why I prefer rebranding it as a citizen's dividend funded by a land value tax. See my other comment in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13141203 . Essentially this makes it morally justifiable. Not to mention our system is already unfair in that rentiers profit off the earth's land, and rich people don't have to work.

We're already seeing the same tensions due to automation reducing the number and quality of jobs. We have a 1% class that have orders of magnitude more than what everyone else has while the plebeians barely scrape by and can't find steady, quality, decent paying work. Basic income is the solution to reducing this tension. Another option would be guaranteeing jobs, but I think that would be extraordinarily inefficient, and it perpetuates this notion that people without money have to work for people with money to justify their existence.

We're already highly dependent on each other. Chances are you work in an office and aren't growing your own food, building your own homes, maintaining your own plumbing, building your own cars, manufacturing your own products, and so on. Basic income just says that we have enough wealth to go around and we're all shareholders of this land, so here's your dividend for permitting others monopoly ownership of our land and its resources. It also says that in an advanced enough society, nobody should starve and go homeless.

Without a basic income, mass job automation and extreme income inequality will lead to a French Revolution.
I use it to run 1password and it works almost perfectly.
It's been postulated that purging the Ba'ath Party made rebuilding Iraq more difficult.

The argument goes that a more measured policy could still have eliminated most of the bad actors while maintaining a higher level of governance and services.
I have started this yesterday : 30 Day Vanilla JS Coding Challenge [0]. Learning vanilla JS with some pretty cool projects.

I have also had a lot of free time lately so I have tried to build a few small things: simple web applications, IoT, crytpo experiments, hybrid mobile apps...

It is useful to keep busy...

Except it kinda is the current version to lots of us. I moved to Python as a hobbyist from .net languages and loved the freedom of not having an IDE and working with Linux. The first decent book I read was on Python 3 so I learned Python 3. Lots of us 'newcomers' (not so new in my case) learnt on Python 3, find perfectly good library support in Python 3. In fact the 'old guard', sound a bit like my Dad talking about how old cars or pre decimal currency to me. I just don't find myself hitting problems I can't solve on Python 3, that I could have solved under Python 2. To be fair I have a pretty minimal amount of code in production, but in each case it is not so monolithic that I couldn't have some of it using Python 2 and some using Python 3 or even some other language for that matter.

Python 3 is not only the future but the current version of Python. It is the version kids learn in School (in the UK kids do some CS from the age of 6 or 7, starting on scratch and then normally Python), it is the version colleges teach.

However there are lots of reasons enterprise users may want to use a legacy codebase. It is not like Python 2.7 is about to stop working! When a section needs a major re-write, then consider porting it. I don't see how this is different to any obsolescence problem. I know an enterprise software company that wrote a lot of stuff in VB6. Some of it is still in VB6 and they have to manage everything that means (especially around 64 bit architecture problems), when they do major updates they use .net. How can we be in the technology game and not just except that life moves on!
This is very nice artwork. I wonder if this is the same Chad Walker who worked on Age of Empires and BloodRayne? They've done some pretty cool stuff too at http://www.walkerboystudio.com .
Oh, but you're expressing your thoughts and desires perfectly well though. You want someone else (not you, of course) to maintain Python 2 for you for the princely sum of of £0.00, so that you don't have to do any work on upgrading to Python 3.

And when the time finally comes around that those people, who have been maintaining Python 2 for many many years (for free), want to focus their efforts on an easier to maintain and more modern language that actually has a future they are repressing you?

Get real.
You do realize that Japan, at the time, was run by a highly militarized government that still carried a lot of tradition from the feudal Japan era. Honour was a massive concern.

Also remember that Japan had already conquered large parts of China and trounced Russia militarily, so they were feeling confident they'd prevail in any conflict with the US. At the time the US was in the middle of a poor economic period and its Pacific navy was in sad shape, many warships were simply relics from WWI. It wasn't exactly threatening.

What Japan didn't realize was that the US would not be bullied, and instead would bite back a lot harder than anticipated.

It's a lot like how America assumed Iraq would be a cake-walk, or Afghanistan could be resolved in a weekend.
Mental health issues may raise incredibly challenging ethical questions, but that's beside the point in this case. There is a legal structure set up for this sort of thing. You don't just lock people in a building against their will for days or weeks without a court order. And you certainly don't choose which people to lock up based upon availability of insurance money.

IMO Matthew Salanger should be facing down charges carrying hard jail time right now.
The dishwasher case comes down to: period between meals; and capex/storage for duplicating crockery and kitchen utensils. So I would say there is a threshold around 3 hours, 1 hour good, 5 hours bad. It is also a factor of volume, so 1 person unnecessary, 4 person family (or whatever they call it these days), probably essential.
If you are willing to experience it using VR, could be a startup idea ;)
I have known/worked with a few people who, in confidence, expressed something similar to what you just said, about having to "dumb everything down" for everyone around them.

They were bright, of course, I wouldn't quibble with that, but they were also really lousy communicators. It wasn't so much that everyone around them was just a dum-dum, but that they weren't very good at explaining things. They seemed to misattribute those folks not understanding them to people being dumb, not their inability to express ideas.
Lenovo has been amazing for me too. It's the reason why I buy nothing but them for my company.
What if one language has a word that simply has no equivalent in another language? Wouldn't that word be 'off the charts'?

Chinese has many characters that are pretty much exclusively used for names and making sounds when transliterating other languages. If we're trying to put Chinese characters and English words on a vectorspace, you're going to be missing a lot of Chinese characters which have no meaning.
There are marketplaces for speakers: espeakers.com, orate.me, bigspeak.com, kepplerspeakers.com, speakermatch.com, eaglestalent.com, celebrityspeakersbureau.com, among others. The speaker profiles include prices, areas of expertise, and a way to inquire and book. What they don't show, that you're asking for, is speaker availability and popularity. The problems I see with disclosing the schedules of speakers: 1) celebrities have real privacy concerns, 2) talent does not want their real demand every day of the year exposed to the public because it can hurt the mystery of their appeal, and 3) disparate calendaring methods maintained by each speaker mean that no web site can be in sync with all of its talent thus instant online booking is hard to do. As for the popularity requirement you asked for ("well-regarded") this is difficult to define because assessments are nonstandard; so what you get in all speaker marketplaces is endorsements and accolades the speaker cites themselves in their own profile -- which will always be self-recommending.
The point is that distro patches are trivial compared to Android patches. Your distro will continue to work fine with a vanilla kernel unless it's using an esoteric configuration, and even with esoteric configurations it's relatively easy to include necessary patches to vanilla kernel.

Compiling and using a vanilla kernel instead of the distro one is straightforward and easy job for people with basic knowledge of source building. It's not a job for "very few brave souls". The reason many people use distro kernels is because they're good enough.

OTOH any consumer Android device requires millions of loc patching to a several years old version of Linux kernel just to boot.
I'm going to go with the 'too political' theory, given the experiment that's currently underway. It might be worth bringing this up in discussion when the experiment concludes.
Just lost twice because I don't know how to chain. Also, it should support arrow keys in addition to WASD for those of us using the mouse with our left hand.
Take a moment to relax. Yes, shit is bad for you and I'm sorry for everything you've experienced. Try to relax for a bit, at least a day or so.

Becoming a millionaire isn't easy, very few people will achieve such status, so don't feel so terrible over it. It's okay, you still did what you could and I'm sure you've learned a lot. And even if you didn't, even that's okay, you don't have to be a superstar or a millionaire, you just have to be you.

For now, remember Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It may be beneath you (and it probably is), but just get a job to survive for now. It really isn't about "what you are worth," it's about survival first, then once you have a fallback can you get back up and fight. You can't fight if you have no limbs to walk on, so make sure you can survive and slowly work back up.

Regardless, you need to believe in yourself. Take a breather, a moment to relax, but believe you can get back in there to fight again, because you can.

Cheers.

EDIT: also echoing tenken, there are other jobs you could get that aren't retail that might still be worth it to you. Keep an open mind and you'll be surprised what you could get yourself into.
Could you tell us which libraries you want don't support 3.x?

Genuinely curious as i thought nearly all of the main ones were ported now
It's not that easy though. The kernel doesn't have a stable internal API, which means that it's nearly impossible to maintain an out-of-tree driver. The kernel operates on a classic google-style monorepo model (well, maybe google-style isn't a good term, after all, they certainly didn't invent it...) because when someone changes a kernel API they are obligated to ensure the change is propagated to all related code. You get maintenance basically for free in the kernel, but only if you build an in-tree driver.

FWIW, a proprietary "binary blob" driver has already been available for a while that was built out-of-tree, but it constantly has to be updated for the latest kernel and doesn't release a version for every single kernel, so it's very difficult to use it unless you either 1) specifically use the exact version the driver requires (which is ridiculous-you should be able to dictate which kernel version you want) or 2) use a well-known and well-supported repo (which limits your choice as well). Ultimately, the best way to get driver support into the kernel is to go through the standard kernel channels.

And also FWIW, the kernel does care about how drivers are written-even if the driver is out-of-tree, its possible shittiness reflects back (totally unfairly, I know) on the kernel. By having a gatekeeper for device drivers, they can ensure that the kernel is as stable as possible for as many users as possible, and that's a laudable end goal. It's also orthogonal to wide hardware support, as all that was required in this situation was for AMD to adhere to the guidelines properly, but they didn't do so, so they have no right to be upset that their code got rejected.
not being sued for monopolistic practices could be one
Enjoyed reading your article. Thanks for sharing.
I would say that in a society like that, there is more amiss than simply a lack of free speech. After all, there are other human rights. However, I see what you mean, and not being a constitutional scholar I shall cede the point.

Nonetheless, you have only addressed one half of a point out of my original three. (You cannot compare a website like Imzy with society at large is what I was trying to drive at in point A.) What do you say to the other two?
Our country also controls, or at least manipulates, other contries.
Honest question: if you're so smart, why not make a few tens of millions, then fill your day with whatever suits you, instead of making enough to get by and contemplating suicide?
Don't you think that the person who committed the crime and served the sentence has had enough of a punishment and deserves to lead a normal life? How long should one carry that on their back? At the end of the day, both the wronged and person who wronged should move on. There should be something called "fair punishment". Otherwise some people who were wronged will never be satisfied by anything other than death sentence.
Let's not forget former CIA director George Tenet claiming that "it's a slam dunk" that Saddam has WMD's. Once again: anonymous government sources, no verified data. Just follow the narrative.
Say the advice is "look behind the couch in the living room" and the object is later found on the kitchen counter. And the rigging consists of the experimenter asking the kid to get something unrelated from the kitchen, for example.

But yes, it's hard to determine whether this is how the experiment worked from the article. Unfortunately the actual paper at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022096516... is paywalled in the usual way.
The comment you're replying to described it as three choices, but you can also consider it a spectrum.

pure instruction -> teaching through playing -> friendly match -> competitive match

Let's use a card game as an example.

Pure instruction: Both players play with their cards visible to each other, and the teacher coaches rules and strategy as they play.

Teaching through playing: The hands are now private, but the teacher will tell the student if they're making bad moves and allow do-overs. The teacher may also set up situations for the student to take advantage of.

Friendly match: The teacher is playing against the student. No coaching is given. But, nit-picky procedural rules are not always followed. (You've set that card down and your hand left it, you can't pick it up again).

Competitive match: Rules are followed to the letter.
thing is it could be useful right now, its something i know for a fact a good few large companies would be interested in, im just not sure how id pitch it to someone without them basically stealing the idea for themselves
That's probably far more accurate and much more fair than assuming they're just shit programmers.
Where is you evidence? Bribing voters is too difficult and expensive to be worthwhile. It's much easier to block the people through voter suppression laws.
Not only should the PSF intervene to prevent someone else from using the Python name, they legally must intervene if they wish to keep their trademark ( see http://privacyandip.blogspot.com/2011/10/common-questions-wh... ).

The 2010 version he's referring to is Python 2.7.
Sometimes that is certainly part of it. Do you go out of your way to explain calculus or particle physics to children?

Or do you simply not bother?

When a person has spent their entire life trying to communicate whatever they were excited about to people who are only interested in the fad du jour, they don't develop the skills to communicate well once they do find people bright enough to understand.

For example, go walk around MIT, Harvey Mudd, or Cal Poly and see how poorly freshmen do with their initial social gatherings.

You personally are probably extremely smart (this is HN after all, where I seek refuge from the total fucking paste eaters of the world) - but that just means that you were dealing with someone who had never had an opportunity to learn those communication skills. Unlike you, presumably.

Lots of commenters here have mentioned parts of law practice that involve lawsuits, complex negotiations, and so forth.

Workers Comp, Social Security, Family Law, and elder law in general aren't as glamorous. Clients for those services don't have such deep pockets as the other corners of the law do.

It's likely that a good SaaS-based system with embedded knowledge of jurisdictional rules (in the US, federal and state rules) could be successful.

But the sales cycle for a new product? Getting early adopters? Prepare for some pain.

>don’t like cases because it takes away from the premium build and feel

One forsakes a case at one's own peril. No matter how much you "baby" your small, fragile, expensive phone, it's an accident waiting to happen if you don't have a case.
Nice. My google-fu's failing me on finding any services which can import some amount of it and re-establish equivalent services, which suggests either some important details are missing (e.g. account configs) and/or no one's seen a business case for setting up that kind of migration service with any of the other major platforms e.g. Microsoft's cloud apps.

Isn't 3yo a bit too early? I mean, at three years old a child is legally smart enough not to swallow the dice... but I thought knowing how to interpret numbers and apply them is a bit more advanced than knowing not to eat the numbery thing. ;)
Adults are easily manipulated.
As a new father, I'd love to hear any more details that you're willing to share. What age did you start, etc.
It's not the age of their counterparts, but the social structure you can build for them.

It's probably better to have a kid like that with others that can understand where they're coming from than a bunch of ten year olds with no clue.
