You previous response said that non-citizens were not entitled to due process. A speedy trial is part of that, under the Sixth Amendment:

> In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Apparently the Eclipse based client appeared in 2007 with Notes 8, long after my last contact with any of this. Someone pointed out that the old UI is a subject of the Interface Hall of Shame. It was weird, no denying that. But it was also fairly efficient; you got a lot of function out of it on a circa 2003 laptop. It was also stable if the host itself wasn't a mess.

Not surprised to hear the Eclipse based client isn't loved; I imagine you'll see a 5x memory usage increase right off the bat, and every operation will take 1k more CPU cycles than it should.

Anyhow, mostly I limit my praise to the trouble free and robust replication and distribution of content through Domino, the server side of the platform, a name this thread reminded me of after 12 years. A client could dial in to any Domino server in the company, efficiently and quickly sync all of their databases with the global network and immediately and get to work using their fast local storage. No drama, no glitches, no calls to the help desk. Good stuff. It obviated the need for shared file systems anywhere, which would have been next to impossible anyhow given the degree of distribution and poor connectivity available. It mostly obviated the need of backing up clients and several of the further flung servers; Domino naturally does multi-way replication, so the backups at the best resourced sites are sufficient.
I don't disagree with the main point of your post, but I do disagree on this minor statement here:

> electric car subsidies go to car owners,
> not manufacturers

I don't know the specifics of buying an electric car, but most tax-break subsidies like this do in fact end up going to the manufacturer, just indirectly.

How? Say it costs $10K to make an electric car, and the manufacturer thinks the market will support a 50% profit margin, so they price the car at $15K. Now the government wants to induce consumers to buy this car, so they offer a $5000 tax rebate if you purchase one. The goal is to incentivize customers to think "Wow, I can get this car for 2/3 of what it would otherwise cost me." And if the only two actors in the scenario were the government and the consumer, it would work that way. But the manufacturer is not naive. If they thought consumers were willing to purchase it at $15K outright, they'll still be willing to purchase it at $20K (less the $5K tax rebate). In effect, the price of the subsidized good goes up by some amount close to the subsidy.

I'm not merely theorizing here. I built a house in 2011 and was pricing out HVAC solutions. My subcontractor said conventional heat+AC would cost me $7,000. Geothermal (the energy-saving option) would cost me $21,000. The hard costs of a geothermal system are twice as much as a conventional system (it costs the HVAC subcontractor ~$3,500 in materials for conventional and ~$7,000 for geo), yet the cost to me was 3X! I got similar quotes from multiple subs.

I questioned this price difference, and all the subs said, "Yeah, it's 3X, but there's currently a 30% tax break if you buy the geo system, so it's like it's really only $14K, or 2X".

There should be an economic proficiency test that all legislators are required to pass. sigh

Oh yes. Basically, EVERYTHING is flawed in INFINITE ways.

Anecdotally, donation based "support" systems seem to be quite broken from what I've experienced. I created a free API about 5 years ago (https://macvendors.com) and have a "Donate to Support" blurb on the site. It's been up for 5 years, gets 200K-250K unique visits to the site per month, and the API is currently handling around 300 million requests a month. Donations? I think I've received 6 over the last 5 years totalling ~$65.
In what way? He's a different kind of conservative, yes, but I highly doubt he'd adopt the irresponsible fiscal and immigration policies, for example, of the left.
Institutions in the United States, because of our size and emphasis on Federalism, have always existed in a tenuous position from the beginning. Throughout our history, we have seen the large parts of the judiciary, criminal justice system, and in practice, whole state governments collapse in pursuit of things like racial and economic inequity (robber barons, civil rights era south, populist leaders like Huey Long, Mafia control of Providence). By fanning the flames of racial and religious intolerance, as well as economic populism, Trump has set the stage for a similar collapse under whatever local conditions most conveniently serve his interests. Maybe in Arizona, we have to suspend the rule of law because the immigration situation is out of control, in West Virginia it's because of economic conditions, New York is at risk from terrorism. All of these circumstances have some truth to them, which is why the make great pretexts.
The press release you reference, and the paper it grew from, has been echo-ing around HN (and the cryosphere research community) for a while. Last time was two months ago; see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12796646

Short summary: the study partly conflicts other results, and the mass loss seen in that study may be more due to the limitations of their measurement technique (radar altimetry) versus other techniques (gravity).

There's more at the link referenced above. (See also: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/20...)

Claimer: while not involved in ice mass quantification, I talk regularly with people who do it full time, publish regularly, are leads on space instruments to measure it, etc.

And, like other commenters nearby, I want to caution you on your approach to "skepticism" and "keeping an open mind".

You seem to be selecting one press release from the hundreds released every year, and using its partial conflict with other information to call the whole hypothesis (significant ice melting caused by global warming) into question. That's not a valid mode of inquiry - especially when you don't have the training and time to keep up with current work.

It's like walking into an IC fab and asking why they are not using EUV lithography (it was in this article in Wired!) when you didn't even take a semiconductor physics class in college.

The right place to start, if you really want to get informed, is the IPCC AR5 report (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/). Reading press releases only makes sense if you can put it into context.

His goal is also a little more ambitious than mine. And it's far from clear that Bannon was anything like dispositive in getting Trump elected.

Ask HN: When travelling, you like visiting the non-mainstream areas of the city?
Hey there,

I like to discover parts of the city I'm travelling to, that are not so well known. And I usually find out about those places by talking with the local people.

I'm curious how many of you are doing the same thing when travelling and if you can give me some tips regarding which areas of your city that are not so well known are worth to be discovered.

Thanks a lot!

All serious cameras do - but it's typically fairly small and most image review happens from the sd/cf card, not the buffer. I think if you have instant review on (I don't ever use this setting) then it MIGHT happen from buffer, but I'm not certain.

Anyway - yes on the face of it this seems possible - but most pros I know will shoot a large chunk of images and review afterwards in a batch - they typically don't review often enough for this to really work, otherwise they'd risk missing shots while reviewing, which is why I thought that in practice it might be hard to implement this well enough without compromising security.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_Flat_Earth

The myth of the Flat Earth is the modern misconception that the prevailing cosmological view during the Middle Ages saw the Earth as flat, instead of spherical.[1][2] During the early Middle Ages, virtually all scholars maintained the spherical viewpoint first expressed by the Ancient Greeks. By the 14th century, belief in a flat earth among the educated was essentially dead. Flat-Earth models were in fact held at earlier (pre-medieval) times, before the spherical model became commonly accepted in Hellenistic astronomy.[3]
Trump knows that these guys value their careers more than their credibility, and he's making Elon Musk, Mitt Romney etc. 'kiss the ring' and 'eat their own words'.

You really think the likes of Musk and Bezos can't sleep at night because of risk to their careers? These guys don't worry about credibility because they make their own credibility. This is more of a position of "I'm a captain of industry, if the President wants to call me to ask a question, I'll take the call". Doing so is both good business (good for their businesses at least), and is compatible with a position of "this man is not qualified for the job", because "that's why he's got me on his advisory board". If anything, it's a subtle, shrewd move on the part of Musk.
As a rule of thumb, one full-time developer focusing on a project is far, far better than five people putting in one day a week. I'd say the goal depends on the project, but for most projects, I'd expect the goal to (at minimum) pay for the lead developer's salary and the project server costs. Allowing one person to focus their entire work week on a project is a good start.

Agreed. I don't think the problem in winter driving is the speed. It's anticipating what the hazards are and how to avoid them.

You - and the other drivers on the road - have less control at all speeds and are always much closer to the limit of traction. Driving on winter roads is a lot like racing a car on a track with other drivers - everyone is near the limit of traction and a hazard can present itself very quickly. Having the right reaction at the right time helps, but planning ahead is more important. Daily driving in summer months is benign in comparison.
And yet, Joe Arpaio lost re-election, New York is still reliably and deeply blue, and it is still the case that nobody at all cares about West Virginia.

Years ago I had little opinion on climate change. During the big email scandal[1] I decided to look into it myself, as an outsider. I downloaded the leaked emails. I downloaded various data sets. I also followed online arguments between climate scientists and climate skeptics.

After trying to grok the mammoth amounts of data, I realized that it would take me forever just to come up to speed. I decided to focus on the arguments. What I found was that the climate scientists could answer every objection, and I could trace back to the data itself and validate what they were saying. The "skeptics" would either: repeat their claim without acknowledging the rebuttal, or would switch to arguing something else completely, or would not reply at all only to go somewhere else and repeat their rebutted claim(s) without modification. Being something of a skeptic myself (in an evidence-based way), I recognize this pattern of behavior. It's not skepticism; it's denial. It's a marketing campaign.

When you have a true skeptic of climate change look into it, you end up with the Koch-funded Richard Muller deciding that, yeah, it's real science done well and that climate change is real.

In vim, I write a file out using ':w'

On my Dvorak keyboard, ':w' ends up being 'z,' are if you were looking at a QWERTY keyboard.

I can choose to learn ':w' and re-learn my muscle memory for writing a file.

OR

If I want to use my existing muscle memory, I can find ':w' on my QWERTY keyboard and see that's 's,' on my Dvorak keyboard, and I can remap the command accordingly.

So the question is, do I memorize ':w' and re-learn those locations or do I keep my muscle memory and gradually adjust to hitting 's,' on my Dvorak keyboard, as if I was typing on a QWERTY.

You can find files that folks have kindly contributed that will do a full remapping of vim keybinds to Dvorak.

This is what I mean by 'locations' (QWERTY ':w' -> Dvorak 's,') which keep muscle memory intact or 'letters' (Letters ':w')

The letters argument is that when you want to learn a new command, you can use your Dvorak knowledge to type the letter you're thinking of. The locations argument is that if you're fluent with vim and use QWERTY, you can continue to do use it that way by remapping keybinds.
- Scalability. Even if it is true the db layer will probably be the bottleneck in your typical django app, it is nice to have a scaling strategy at every layer.

- Redundancy. Platforms like k8s and other PaaS can distribute instances of the same apps to multiple hosts / availability zones.

- Zero downtime deployment. Spin up the new version in a container, have both previous and new version running concurrently, then start routing traffic to the new app.

- Standardization. Settling on a container type to run all your apps makes for great dev and ops relationships.

- Immutable code. Know exactly which version is running in production and be confident it can't be changed manually.

Sorry for the offtopic, but have you ever used TLA+ to verify a non-trivial piece of production software?

The common thing i can see about seniors developers are the length of his code.

A junior developer doesnt divide too much his code, repeat himself, the avg length of his code is high, etc.

A semi-senior developer knows how to divide his code, have a good analysis and design, knows some common patterns, try to have good practices, and repeat himself a little. (Sometimes takes bad decisions trying to not repeat without sawing his design)
Normally have some methods with too much lines of code but not too much.

Seniors developers are embrace testing a lot, even test his tests (mutation testing), are carefull about decisions who impact on architecture, and the average of the lenght of his code is between 5 and 8 lines of code (and always simply readable).
Cares a lot of dependencies and really knows how to use all of his tools. Specially when talking about refagtorings.

Apologies for the casual bigotry - I may have spoke flippantly and without carrying out much in the way of in depth first hand research as I should have, but I have heard many reports in this vein, and perhaps it is media BS/propaganda that has proliferated this idea, but if there's any truth to them, then that's a yuuuge gap on one advisory team.
