> EDIT: Also I want to mention that we value diversity, I strongly disagree with the grandparent comment about how inclusivity shouldn't be rewarded.

I think that GP's point was not that inclusivity is bad, but that only hiring one group of people (be it minorities or not) is not something that should be rewarded (because it's counteracting diversity, and also being a bad hiring manager).

Just want to note that it's awesome that GitLab has community activists. You're really eating GitHub's lunch at this point, and it's amusing that they haven't noticed.
I had the same issue with finding the tree log, it's under graphs and called network.

No - we aren't fucking kidding you, RebootTheSystem - we actually are making it a lot easier! ;-)

We usually find the most resistance to our ideas from within the industry itself and among people with experience, which is why it's not changing. It's like the cab drivers complaining about Uber.

We've got a ton of great customers (world class names, to people in their garage) who love us and our revenue is growing like crazy. That's how I know we're on to something.

If making hardware was solved, why isn't everyone able to execute on it? Why is iterating physical products so slow and expensive? We were able to easily raise money because VCs saw the hardware startups struggling.

There is so much room to go in making manufacturing / physical engineering easier - Moore's Law has barely made a dent in manufacturing. I'm excited for our journey ahead!
No it is not. At all. Tunisia has much common things with Italy than with Oman.
We started the same thing here in New Zealand. I was a bit outraged when $1.2 billion of taxpayers money was handed out to build a national fibre network, but it's turning out not too bad.
Not perfect, but not bad either.
It helps that the opposition bought in, despite disagreeing on details.

I find them fairly pointless.

- What you did yesterday, what you're doing today and what you're blocked on is all information that should be on a planning board.

- It creates pressure to come up with something productive to report instead of letting you just get on with things.

- Most of the time the information isn't relevant to everyone.

- It creates unwanted breaks when you're trying to work.

And teach them to use tor. As said, that's not enough. But nothing can safe a fool, so it's important people don't have to reley too much on other and take at least the basic precaution themselfs. If you have any better (as in working better) ideas I'm open to suggestion. But I'm sceptical.

What did you do? And how did it work? I guess for me it did work out somewhat well.

Amazon delivered its first customer package by drone
Amazon Prime Now has a $10 minimum, free delivery, and no markup allowed on the restaurant menus in New York. For me, that makes it the best service available hands down, and actually starts to change my behavior as a customer.

If it doesn't cost any more than what I'd pay in person schlepping to the restaurant, the psychological barrier to ordering on a whim is virtually eliminated. It also has that Uber-esque impersonality to it: the delivery guy doesn't wait around after dropping of your food in your typical managed NY apartment building (literally racing down when I get the call, I've never been able to spot them), since they're tipped up front. In fact, the last service I can remember that was such a no-brainer improvement when introduced, was Uber X.

That's not sustainable you might say. But members do pay $99/year for Prime, which isn't a whole lot since it does so much, but is increasingly a larger part where Amazon makes their margin from.
The process of voting shall be observed by members of opposing parties and members of opposing interests and similarly to the process of counting the votes. Depending on your country you can most likely keep an eye on them yourself. Typically it's citizens who are volunteering to run the elections, everyone with mixed interests. It's enough for one of them to be an outsider and blow the whistle if s/he sees everyone else try something shady together.

It's to an extent possible to mount a local attack with paper ballots but its cost is an effort too great that it doesn't scale. You would basically have to get your own people, or paid people, to swap the ballots while nobody else is watching to get the results you want in one election district.

Because ballots need to be saved for recounting the marks on the ballots also need to be sufficiently distinct so that they don't look like they all come from a photocopier. Again, if there seems to be anything fishy, people can and will organise to redo the election locally, this time with different representatives from the parties.

With digital voting, vulnerabilities and malware and automated attacks scale to all systems involved and theoretically a single entity can rewrite the election results of the whole nation. Worse yet, it may not be evident whether the results are skewed or not as it's just digits in a computer and those can be changed without a trace.
It was full of such things. If you were about to set sail on a 1562 craft, tell me the fundimental difference between a huricane and a sea dragon. Both smashed your ship leaving none to tell the tale. As for giants, take a look at the average european bear. Then look at a grizzly. This map expresses real problems and gives rather practical advice for the time.

Remember too the language issues. This map was for a variety of audiances. A drawing of a monster is more universal than "ship reported lost here".
To be sure. I really don't like the style, but I can't deny that they boomed the market for smartwatches. You could by a cell phone watch decades ago, but it wasn't particularly awesome. But now, with the amount of tech that can be crammed in the same space, combined with the fantastic power management and battery densities, we're seeing real functional stuff.

And you bet Apple will have some sort of untethered watch. I bet it's expensive though. Not as a joke, but to make sure it doesn't compete with their flagship. Or maybe not; if Samsung's method works and people bundle the 4G watch with a phone just as much, maybe we just get that much more connected.

Regardless, I think it's pretty premature to be whinging about the market for smartwatches failing like the article.
"Listen here whippersnappers, back in my day, we were all mortal ... none of this '245 is the new 20' nonsense."
Agreed. There's also people who can't just "drive to the takeaway and back" because they don't have a car, are over the alcohol limit, etc.

Hey fellow Swattie! [Actually, I'm at UC San Diego as of this fall, so I'm a former fellow Swattie, I suppose :-) ]

The programming languages course in question (https://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~jpolitz/cs91/s15/) indeed used Pyret, and that course is a heavy functional programming implementation course (writing interpreters, type inference, GC, etc).

That's using Pyret for more complex programming, and is the upper end of where we use it pedagogically right now. Ditto for CS019 (the advanced introduction to data structures), and CS173 (PL) at Brown. In all of those cases, students _are_ expected to have some prior programming experience, so they get a faster introduction to Pyret.

In the other direction, Pyret is in active use at the middle and high school level in math, cs, and physics classes, and this is where much of our active design work is tailored (tables, reactors, etc have some explicit curricular goals they target). They have scaffolding and workbooks written for their grade level, use features suitable for the context they are in, and so on.

The use in CS91 in particular is

(1) appropriate in the first place, since many functional languages could work in that setting,
(2) eating my own dogfood, and
(3) an excellent opportunity to discuss design decisions of a language that students are learning in a PL course, while it is still having design decisions made about it!
I don't think anyone is comparing Ms. Pac-Man immersiveness to that of Skyrim. However, I do feel that Morrowind, despite it's gameplay flaws, was much more immersive than Skyrim. Most modern games seem to have a very "gamey" feel to them.

For instance, in Skyrim, the world levels with you, and they prevent a lot of "exploits" that make characters overpowered.(Which makes no sense. Who cares if crafting intelligence potions for two hours breaks the game? It's a singleplayer game!)

In Morrowind, the world did not scale with you. This means that you feel hopelessly weak in the beginning, and you progress to the point where you are a demigod. At some point you reach the point where nobody in the in-game universe can stand up to you.

In Skyrim, on the other hand, bandits start the game weak, when you end the game they are wearing some of the strongest armor available. It really breaks immersion. Plus Skyrim level design is yawn-inducing. Almost every level is a circle, that ends right back at the start of the level. Caves in Morrowind actually felt like caves.

My personal theory is that game designers once grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons, and other tabletop RPGs where anything was possible. They wanted to give players that ability in their games. Current game designers grew up playing games, and so they are working with a much less complex source material.

That's just my take. Obviously there is the fact that a less complex game has a broader appeal, but games like Europa Universalis 4 and Dwarf Fortress prove that complex games have a market.

Speaking of DF, it's probably the most immersive game I've ever played. The controls are shit, the graphics are shit, but you can do anything you want in it.
I am really missing something here.
If I click the link it brings me to my Amazon application and I don't see anything new.

I did exactly the same thing for WordGrinder's virtual terminal (it's a terminal-based app; but for Windows and X, there are versions which implement their own terminal using GDI and Xlib respectively, for more consistent font and style rendering).

That's a problem of their Google Drive Desktop Sync program. I also hated it (it also sucks a lot of CPU). Since switching to Insync for desktop synching all my problems with GDrive are gone. Google should buy this tiny company for their great work with GDrive.
GitHub has a "network" tab under "Graphs" that might provide what you're looking for.

But when people say that GitHub has better UI, they're more talking about the clean menus and intuitive UI. Some of it might just be getting used to one design over another. Although, BitBucket to me has always felt too cluttered.

I agree with you. You're better having this kind of stuff on a planning board so you can easily see the status of every task with all the information in one place. Why do I need to know the reason for a task being blocked when I'm not working on it and can't do anything to help?
Kdenlive 16.12 released
Ask HN: How to be more decisive?
Well this is a very general question, but I'm not sure how to narrow it down. I find myself often stuck by analysis paralysis and thus procrastinate my moves, losing potential opportunities. So I want to ask how to train yourself being more decisive, making decisions more quickly and confidently (if that's a good thing?)
Smalltalk was developed that way...

Also, MIT switched from scheme to python.

\tangent I agree with your approach of mixing theory and practice. So what's the best way to learn fluid simulation? It's discouraging spending so long on maths without the gratification of Something Actually Working.
Perhaps you live in a world different from mine, but what you describe as "cartoonishly foolish" behavior I consider completely standard. Customers refuse to spend 5000 to make 20.000 all the time, or they're willing to waste weeks finding a different vendor that can offer the same for 3000. Others are willing to walk away from a great deal unless they get a discount, but are content with a tiny discount. Because a discount to them signifies a moral victory, or that they're not being taken advantage of, or they simply want to believe they're great negotiators or something like that. I don't get it, but I have seen it often enough for it not to be unusual.

We don't live in a world of rational agents. And even if we did we don't live in a world where most business purchases are made with people's own money. People have complex and contradictory goals and in my experience pointing out the value customers get for the price they pay is the least effective sales strategy.
Yes, doable at Google, a company known for being at the top of the market in compensation.

The whole point of the original statement was "I made $X and saved $Y, it's not that hard." But when you examine the X and the Y, they are not representative at all!

It has similar merit to a lottery winner saying, "why can't you win the lottery too? All I did was buy a lottery ticket."

> The main advantages of Clojure are the ...

I'd argue the main advantage is the consistent focus on making pragmatic engineering decisions and the focus on building a community who are equally pragmatic.

I've got a bunch of Clojure apps that I wrote ~5 years ago that still work on the latest version of Clojure with the latest libraries. That is pragmatic engineering.

Cursive, the Clojure IDE built on top of IntelliJ, is an amazing bit of work when you consider it is written by one guy. Again the clever use of leverage.

A focus on everyday immutability and easily reasoned concurrency makes building and reasoning about medium sized applications much easier.

Etc etc.

For a language not backed by an industry titan it has done an amazing job.

Sure when you look at something like spec there isn't a whole lot of "secret sauce" - almost all of it has been done before (I remember the big Microsoft push for runtime contracts over a decade ago). Despite this I predict it will have a huge impact on overall codebase quality.
Explaining the battery life problems with the new MacBook Pros
US workers are having to deal with reality itself after an entire history of avoiding it.

"Free land" from genocided native Americans. No equivalently armed and organized opposition from Virginia to California.

"Free labor" from slavery.

Poverty wages during the gilded age; easy-to-access industrial fuels like lumber and coal, and later oil. Again, all available on stolen land.

Early 20th century, Europe was beating itself up so often America became a superpower by pure virtue of being the only power not bombed to shit by 1945.

Through mid 20th century, America artificially suppressed the domestic cost of living at home through economic imperialism by, among other things, overthrowing other regimes - including democracies - that threatened America's economic dominance and control of natural resources, like Guatemala for food and Iran for oil (although the U.K. started it).

So this is the first time the US has ever had to compete on anything close to an even footing.
Generally people don't give a shit whether you call it a job or a career as long as it helps them achieve their life goals.

The reality is that unless you're doing something related to IT or got a cushy management job through nepotism, or getting massively subsidized by your parents, you're unlikely to progress to major life goals, like house ownership and starting a family, both of which require the ability to save a decent portion of your paycheck.

People just want jobs that leave them with something after rent+food+healthcare and the reality is that the pool of these "good" jobs is shrinking by the year and requires multiple years of expensive education and at least above average intelligence, because you're competing globally against the upper middle classes of other countries as well.
Just a clarification with that solution: The underhandedness is not due to the small size of the inputs. The inputs are tiny because I am lazy. They should be arrays with ~1000 elements.

I agree. I couldn't stand the slowness of Gitlab's UI. I originally came to Gitlab because Bitbucket was lagging on several features that I wanted, and had a poor UI. Gitlab's UI seemed more inviting as it was similar to Github. Mostly though, I chose Gitlab for the free private repositories.

The Gitlab UI is /fine/, but the speed is what gets me. On github, even if I have thousands of commits, the UI is instantaneous. If I click on something, the load time is less than a second for me. So I switched to Github and paid for the private repositories. I absolutely didn't mind paying for this since Github is so fast for me and seems to be adding pretty cool new features (code review enhancements on PR, for example).

I still have one of my repositories on GitLab and it's still slow when I do things like browse commits, view source files, etc.

It's not just Gitlab though. Bitbucket is pretty slow for me as well, though not as slow as Gitlab. I would guess that Github's caching algorithms are much better than either of those two to really make pages seem snappy.
Apart from being Linux distros, that is an arbitrary and mostly pointless comparison, as those projects have entirely different goals.

Hey, Democrats We need you to get your act together
I'm gonna shill here and say check the S3 (or S2 classic). The spinning bevel is really slick, and the OS feels really natural. Partly because it seems to understand there's approximately enough space on a watch to put like 4 icons ever. The voice works great, and I've had conversations with my arm at my side (but really, get a bluetooth headset - airports are too crowded to use a speakerphone).

And some of the watch faces are clever. The default chronograph one actually fakes the light reflecting around the face as your wrist moves. Complete BS, but passes the illusion nicely.

Sad news for women everywhere.
I'm really excited about the web version of this. I think Google is doing fantastic work, making material design available to and usable by the community. I'm sure their motives aren't entirely altruistic, but I appreciate them nonetheless.

As a nit, I'm not very fond of their CSS naming conventions, using a lot of double underscores and double dashes. For example:

> <section class="mdc-card__actions mdc-card__actions--vertical">

Seems like this could be cleaned up a bit with something like:

> <section class="mdc-card-actions mdc-card-actions-vertical">

But... this is just a matter of personal taste. I'm sure they have their reasons for the approach they took.
